Sovieto made it! it should help ya!
oh ya rep is nice!
arent you the one who made fun of me, i dont realy want to rep you now.
hybrid has beeeeen BUSTED! lol
lol.i don't recall making fun of you.(but have made fun of some people...)

bad me...:mad2:
EDIT: I looked through your posts and im pretty sure i did'nt make fun of you.
you didnt make fun of me
I'd say getting a 360 is a great choice, it completely surprised me when I played at a friends house, the online is fantastic. Not my type of games, but I'm guessing you must like the games on it, so I would recommend it.
Seriously, the online is amazing. I sold my Wii for it, best decision I evar made (well, sort of).
since i say its a brilliant idea
you dont rep me

Is 'flaws and failings' a binomial?
3 LINGUISTICS a phrase containing two nouns that are joined together by a conjunction and always appearing in the same order; for example "cup and saucer"
As flaws and failings is not a common expression, the answer must be no.
Now 'faults and failings' could probably be called a binomial.

Pricing barrier options by a regime switching model
This paper introduces a new way of estimating parameters in a Brownian motion regime switching asset model to incorporate volatility clustering. The regime switching model is then applied to pricing of up-and-in barrier call options. We take the probability of crossing the barrier between simulation points into account, and we increase accuracy in simulations by importance sampling. The regime switching model is compared to the Normal Inverse Gaussian model and the traditional Black-Scholes model, and option prices from the regime switching model are compared to the closed form expression of up-and-in barrier calls in a Black-Scholes market.

Our Research Approach
Charged by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) with performing basic research to generate technology to convert cellulosic biomass to ethanol and other advanced biofuels, GLBRC supports nearly 400 researchers, students and staff spanning disciplines from microbiology to economics to plant biology and engineering.
The innovations born of these unique collaborations provide the basic scientific foundation for the sustainable, large-scale production of advanced cellulosic biofuels technologies that will help meet the nation's growing energy needs. GLBRC scientists and engineers are using each plant cell component, chemical intermediate and building block to help replace fossil fuels and other petroleum products while adding value to the biofuels production chain.
With GLBRC's renewal by DOE in April 2013, the center is forging ahead with basic science breakthroughs that will support the development of technologies throughout the biofuels pipeline—from field to fuel. The center's research program creates improved biofuel feedstocks, develops improved processing techniques and catalysts, and ensures the sustainability of the entire cycle.
"These Centers incorporate some of the best thinking we have about effective management of research—dating back to the era of Bell Labs and America's great industrial laboratories—and serve as a model for what federal support of research can accomplish if it is smart, proactive and creative."
Former U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu
Our Roadmap
GLBRC's research priorities take advantage of the diverse expertise of the center's research team and focus on the integration of researcher expertise in support of two key knowledge gaps: sustainable production of crops with desireable biofuel traits, and efficient conversion of biomass to fuels and chemicals. Trans-disciplinary collaboration across the four research areas has created the synergy needed to pursue these knowledge gaps and produce over 400 publications in the first five-year funding cycle. Explore our publications. Intellectual property advances also reflect the productivity and innovation of center research collaborations. Explore our technologies.
Sustainable production of crops with desirable biofuel traits
The economic and environmental sustainability of biofuel technologies depends on how crops are produced and whether they compete with food production for land use. Researchers are reducing gaps in knowledge to develop and produce optimal, sustainable biofuel feedstocks that are distinct from food crops.
Efficient conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals
Alternatives to cellulosic ethanol—referred to as advanced biofuels—also hold promise for the automotive, diesel, and aviation sectors. However, biomass conversion technologies will not succeed in biorefineries unless they are fast, energy efficient, and economical. GLBRC will continue to reduce or eliminate gaps in knowledge that limit the sustainable production of energy-dense fuels and chemicals from biomass.
"By using an integrated approach to biofuels research, GLBRC is leveraging this innovation to generate top-tier research publications, new biofuel technologies and strategic partnerships."
Doug Gage, Director, MSU BioEconomy Network, Office of the VP for Research and Graduate Studies
At the GLBRC, sustainability research is a transdisciplinary endeavor that connects environmental resource stewardship and management with the principles of economics and life cycle analysis. The center's work on large-scale lignocellulosic biomass production systems spans the disciplines of agriculture, industry, ecology and human behavior, and uses the interdependence of environmental and economic sustainability as a guiding principle.
Sugar-rich, renewable and diverse, plants are a master key to sustainable energy. To unlock the energy potential of cellulosic biomass, GLBRC researchers are using plant genetics to develop feedstocks with abundant, accessible sugars and oils for conversion to liquid transportation fuels. With their biodiversity benefits and their status as non-food crops, cellulosic feedstocks like switchgrass, corn stover, mixed prairie grasses and poplar have the potential to make future energy production truly 'green.'
Efficient, effective conversion of insoluble plant material to soluble sugars through biomass deconstruction is an essential component of successful large-scale biofuel production. As one of the most time-consuming and costly bioenergy bottlenecks, GLBRC researchers are tackling deconstruction with combinations of physical, chemical, and biological biomass treatments.
Converting plant biomass to fuels can be rooted in biological processes (such as microbe metabolism) or chemical processes (such as heterogeneous catalysis). GLBRC researchers are using both approaches to convert plant sugars into bioenergy compounds, with the long-term goals of improving biomass conversion to ethanol, advanced biofuels, and other chemical feedstocks that can replace fossil fuels.
Future Biofuels Technologies: Providing A Knowledgebase
"As the biofuels industry picks up speed, the private sector is counting on federally-funded basic research like the DOE Bioenergy Research Centers to provide new insight that will help us meet the broad challenges of reducing cost and meeting demand for advanced biofuels."
William D. Provine, DuPont Director of Science & Technology External Affairs and GLBRC Scientific Advisory Board member
As a DOE Bioenergy Research Center, GLBRC is positioned to make key discoveries and major advances that will lead to breakthrough technologies for eventual large-scale conversion of biomass into fuels. When a new technology is developed, GLBRC researchers work closely with industry partners, through technology transfer mechanisms or collaboratively, to achieve commercial implementation.
The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), established in 1925 as the world's first university-based technology transfer office, supports GLBRC innovation by protecting the intellectual property of its faculty and staff, conducting surveys of the intellectual property landscape to guide new research, and licensing discoveries to companies for commercial use to benefit humankind.
"With a strong record of producing scientific advancements, I am confident that we have the momentum to continue developing innovative, industrially relevant breakthroughs to support the advanced biofuels industry."
GLBRC Director Tim Donohue

Tens of thousands of Mexicans and Mexican Americans from California and the Southwest were "repatriated" to Mexico between 1929 and 1939. Hundreds of thousands of Mexican descent were forced to leave the US without due process.
Five days after the October 24 crisis, on Black Tuesday—October 29, 1929—the stock market experienced the greatest crash in its history. As soon as the stock exchange's gong sounded, a mad rush to sell began. Trading volume soared to an unprecedented 16,410,030 shares and the average price of a share fell 12 percent. This dive came with the convergence of economic problems of production, income, and credit. The crash destroyed the fortunes of brokers and speculators and set off a long period of economic panic. It also marked the beginning...
Notorious gangster Al Capone was convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to eleven years in prison. Capone had entereted into a plea agreement with the US Attorney to avoid a trial, but the presiding judge rejected it and insisted that Capone be tried, stating: "It is time for somebody to impress upon the defendant that it is utterly impossible to bargain with a Federal Court.
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were found guilty of the 1920 murders of a paymaster and payroll guard in Braintree, Massachusetts. There was little evidence of the two men's guilt, and they were convicted based more on their political activities as anarchists than on physical evidence or testimony related to the murders. Sentenced to death, the two were executed on August 23, 1927.
An American political party organized in 1919, the Communist Party of the United States supported socialism and aimed to end capitalism.
"Flappers" were women of the 1920s who liberated themselves from oppressive societal gender norms, pushing the boundaries of sexual freedom and expression. They cast off prim dress and organ-crushing corsets in favor of straight-waist skirts and bobbed hair. Their dress and behavior, which sometimes included drinking, dancing, and smoking, served as a demand for the end of the double standard of behavior deemed acceptable for men and women.
The American Indian Defense Association, founded by social worker John Collier in 1923, was created to help protect the rights of American Indians and to affect reform of federal Indian policy.

Elton John and David Bowie Were Originally Rejected by the BBC
Elton John — "dull?" David Bowie — an "amateur?" These were the opinions of the BBC before the singers became famous, according to newly discovered notes that will be used in an upcoming documentary.
'Auditioning for Auntie,' which will air on BBC Radio 4 on Oct. 21, looks at the process by which up-and-coming British acts would have to audition before the Talent Selection Group in order to perform on the BBC's pop-music programs. In their research, the creative team uncovered a few howlers in judgement, as reported by the Daily Mail.
After singing three songs — 'All Across the Havens,' 'Lady Samantha' and 'Skyline Pigeon' — Elton John was dismissed as such: "The items are not songs. Pretentious material, self-written, sung in an extremely dull fashion without any feeling and precious little musical ability. Thin, piercing voice with NO emotion. Not a tuneful voice … He writes dreary songs and he sounds like a wonky singer."
John's rejection was overruled by the Talent Selection Group's bosses, who heard the tape, but Bowie had a tougher time. He was called an "amateur-sounding vocalist who sings wrong notes and out of tune" after performing 'Chim Chim Cher-ee' from the movie 'Mary Poppins.'
Other rock legends who were rejected by the Talent Selection Group include the Rolling Stones ("unsuitable for our purposes"), Marc Bolan ("crap, and pretentious crap at that") and the Who ("overall, not very original and below standard").

In 2012, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 532,911 times, of which 473,644 were innocent. Of those stopped, 284,229 (55 percent) were black, 165,140 (32 percent) were Latino, and 50,366 (10 percent) were white. The high-water mark for NYPD stops occurred in 2011. That year, the NYPD reported 685,724 stops – a 600 percent increase since Kelly took over as NYPD commissioner in 2002.
Bloomberg and NYPD officials claim stop-and-frisk targets minorities more often because minorities are responsible for a high percentage of crime. However, only 11 percent of stops in 2011 were based on a description of a violent crime suspect. Furthermore, no research has shown that stop-and-frisk has reduced violent crime.
"Your safety and the safety of your kids is now in the hands of some woman who does not have the expertise to do it," Bloomberg said after Scheindlin's ruling.
Only 10 percent of all NYPD stops result in arrest. Guns are found in less than 0.2 percent of stops.
"Make no mistake, this is a dangerous piece of legislation and anyone who supports it is courting disaster," Bloomberg said in April. "If you end street stops looking for guns, there will be more guns on the streets, and more people will be killed. It's that simple."
According to the NYPD's 2012 statistics, while 84 percent of those stopped were black or Latino, the likelihood that an African American would yield a weapon during a stop-and-frisk was half that of white New Yorkers stopped. When it came to discovering contraband, officers were a third more likely to find illegal items on the person of a white suspect.
The Community Safety Act bills were initially passed by the council with veto-proof majorities on June 27. Bloomberg vetoed both bills on July 23.
Bloomberg said previously that supporters of the legislation are "putting ideology and election-year politics in front of public safety."

or pre orgasm feel up ^.^
Good thing I'm not the only one who "liekz" the tanned Asuza.
Oh I Loved the tan lines. You'd think Mugi would burn cause she's so pale. I thought we have atleast one top pulled off of Mio by Ritsu- but no
A tanned Azusa is fine too
Hiyakeshita Azusa...

When: Sun., Feb. 10, 7:30 p.m. 2013
What with multiple Grammys, gold records, a Pulitzer Prize and a collaboration with Sting, Wynton Marsalis has surpassed almost all of the jazzmen who are his heroes. Now 51, Marsalis is on the young side for an elder statesman, but the classically trained New Orleans trumpeter and composer has risen steadily to that position since he appeared as a professorial talking head in the Ken Burns documentary Jazz. As artistic director of the nonprofit Jazz at Lincoln Center, Marsalis presides over its 15-member in-house orchestra. Known as JALCO, the group performs works by the likes of Coltrane, Monk, Goodman and Gillespie, often in concert with world-class orchestras and guest conductors. In the process, the jazz canon remains alive and vital, rather than preserved in amber. Tickets start at $89 for the 7:30 p.m show. —David Klein

Synopsis for "Web of Death!"Edit
Jack O' Lantern shows up in Betty Brant's apartment and kidnaps her. Meanwhile, at Project Rebirth, Katherine feels that they should terminate Agent Venom due to his being inactive for three days. General Dodge orders her not to terminate Agent Venom despite the poor chances that he is still in control of the suit.
However, Flash is no longer in control and the suit is on a rampage, killing everyone in its way. After killing all of the henchmen, Flash injects himself with his last dose of the sedative, enough to last him an hour. Flash catches up to the chopper carrying the vibranium and takes control of it. On the radio, Crime-Master informs Flash that they have kidnapped Betty Brant and strapped her to a bomb and if he doesn't surrender the shipment of vibranium they will blow her up.
In New York, Peter Parker enters Betty's apartment to find it in shambles. He calls Glory Grant, tells her to call the police, and quickly springs into action as Spider-Man.
Flash is no longer in control of the suit but it is still willing to follow his commands. He lands the chopper in Bushwick, New York and delivers the vibranium to Crime-Master, who gives him five minutes to save Betty. On his way to the warehouse she is being help captive in, Spider-Man attacks. They begin to fight and the suit no longer complies with his wishes and decides to kill Spider-Man. Back at the base, General Dodge witnesses their fight and presses the self-destruct button.

Review for Winter Park Day Nursery, Inc., Winter Park, FL, USA
With all the talk about budget cuts and welfare reform, we seem to forget about the children of the working poor - those who work multiple jobs just to make ends meet. WPDN is a safe place for their children to play and prepare to be successful when they enter school. Every child deserves a place like WPDN.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
seeing the lives of children changed.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
enlarge it so more children could attend.

2 more in court charged with Grande heist
The two men, who yesterday appeared in court jointly charged with five others accused of stealing from Republic Bank Ltd, were each granted $500,000 bail by Sangre Grande magistrate Ejenny Espinet. Jagdesh Ramnarine, 33, and Clyde Cox, 48, both of Calcutta, Freeport, are charged with breaking and entering into the bank's Sangre Grande branch on March 1 and stealing over $4 million in local and foreign currency. Five other men — Chaitram Mohammed, 27, of Vega de Oropouche, Toco Road, Sangre Grande; Navin Juteram, 34, of Mohammed Drive, Sangre Grande; Jason Villafana, 41, of Guaico Village, Sangre Grande; Kumar Narine, 21, of Freeport and Sateesh Boodram, 33, of East Dinsley Gardens, Trincity—are also charged with offences arising out of the same incident.
The five men were granted a total of $5.4 million when they first appeared in court on Tuesday but after Espinet reviewed their criminal records she reduced their bail by almost half. Juteram's bail was reduced to $500,000 from $1 million; Mohammed's to $650,000 from $1.3 million; Narine's to $600,000; Villafana to $500,000 and Boodram to $500,000. All seven men are to re-appear on April 10. Juteram, Mohammed and Narine are additionally charged with two other men with robbing two men using personal violence and attempting to break and enter the automated banking machine (ABM) at Royal Bank of Canada on January 17. They are to reappear with their co-accused at the Mayaro Magistrates Court on March 24.
The three, along with Ramnarine, Cox and Villafana, are accused of breaking and entering RBL on March 1 and stealing the money. Juteram and Boodram are charged with receiving money knowing it to be stolen. Juteram is alleged to have received $46,800, while Boodram allegedly received $2.1 million of the loot. Police reported that around 12.30 am on March 1 they received a report from the security company which provided surveillance for the Sangre Grande branch of Republic Bank that the bank's back door was open. The police later found the vault emptied of its contents, which had included deposit boxes and cash, including US, English, Eastern Caribbean and European Union currency.

Kickstarter - Heroes of Steel
View Single Post
March 3rd, 2013, 19:48
When I saw the title of this game, I was instantly reminded of an old cprg from the days of DOS that I still have fond memories of, an underrated game called Discples of Steel. Unfortunately it got poor reviews when it was released in 1993 or thereabouts, but I played it from beginning to end and very much enjoyed it(despite it being a bit buggy).
I was kind of hoping that this game might be a spiritual successor to Disciples of Steel, but it doesn't seem like it.

Club nights 'cashing in' on Jewish charities
Charity executives have expressed serious concerns over the actions of promotions companies which organise events aimed at young Jewish party-goers.
Club nights run by commercial enterprises, which donate a percentage of their proceeds to charity, are now regular fixtures on the Jewish social scene.
But the JC has been told of concerns that the charities are receiving smaller shares of the profits than expected, and anxiety that potential donors are being drawn away from traditional fundraising ventures.
One charity director has accused the companies of "cashing in", and another now refuses to work with one company again, following claims that the charity was misled over the donation it would receive from a club night earlier this year.
The claims focus mainly on two companies, Nana Life Events and Lyla Parties, which previously operated as one company, Nana Events. Both are hugely popular with young Jews and combined have more than 1,200 followers on Facebook.
Young Meir Panim, which raises funds to relieve poverty in Israel, will not work with Nana Life Events again after a bitter disagreement over a Valentine's Day event in London's West End in February.
Tickets for entry cost £15 and flyers stated "a contribution from all tickets goes to Young Meir Panim".The charity believed it had arranged to receive 50 per cent of all ticket sales, but claims to have received only £7 for each person who mentioned the charity's name when buying tickets on the door.
A number of party-goers are known to have been given free entry by promotions staff. It is believed Nana Life Events later told the charity only around 60 people had attended, despite claiming in media reviews that more than 150 revellers were there.
A source at Young Meir Panim said: "They promised us a lot more than what we got. They promised us the world, but we had no contract with them and they changed what they said afterwards.
"We have learnt our lesson and have to warn the community and other charities."
Danny Macabi, who runs Nana Life Events, said the charity's problems had been due to a second events company, Electric Parties, which had also helped plan the evening. He voluntarily made a donation to the charity following the disagreement. Following JC enquiries, he then made a further payment last week.
Lyla Parties boasts that it regularly attracts more than 500 revellers to its events, a number which can represent ticket receipts of up to £12,000.
Last December, under the Nana Events name, a Chanucah champagne cocktail night took place at Kensington Roof Gardens. The party, in aid of Norwood, was attended by 500 people. The charity received a £2,500 donation.
Adele Breslauer, Norwood's head of fundraising, said Norwood had known in advance it would receive 25 per cent of the ticket revenue.
But she also revealed that the charity's Young Norwood group typically raises in excess of £20,000 at its own, solely organised, events.
Last August, Nana Events hosted "Encore Mania", a club night in aid of World Jewish Relief. It took place at a Covent Garden club and sold around 500 tickets, bringing in £10,000 in ticket sales alone.
WJR later received £1,500. It will also not work with either promotions company again.
The Zionist Federation does not work with outside companies. Alan Aziz, its executive director, said: "I have a problem when the punters are fooled into going to an event. When these people offer to run an event, the charities think 'ok, these people will do all the work'. They end up receiving less than they expected."
Joseph Menachem, who formerly ran Nana Events and is now a partner in Lyla, defended the companies' roles.
He said: "We do not call them charity events. We give a charitable donation and we donate a percentage of the ticket sales."

Microsoft named Jean-Philippe Courtois to head its international business, putting a 21-year company veteran in charge of divisions that make up 32 percent of sales.
Microsoft named Jean-Philippe Courtois to head its international business, putting a 21-year company veteran in charge of divisions that make up 32 percent of sales.
Courtois, formerly chief executive of Microsoft's Europe, Middle East and Africa division, yesterday was appointed president of Microsoft International, a new position overseeing operations in Asia and Latin America as well as Europe, Microsoft said in a statement.
The promotion follows moves by Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer aimed at focusing executives' attention on overseas operations, where sales are outpacing those in the United States.
Washington Mutual
Group challenges planned acquisition
A consumer-advocacy group in New York City has filed a challenge to Washington Mutual's proposed acquisition of credit-card issuer Providian Financial.
Inner City Press/Fair Finance Watch filed documents with the Office of Thrift Supervision, which regulates WaMu, saying that WaMu imposes high-rate loans on African Americans more often than whites. The community group is invoking the Community Reinvestment Act to request public hearings, which regulators sometimes hold before deciding whether to approve a merger.
WaMu spokesman Adrian Rodriguez said the company has not yet seen the group's filing but looks forward to discussing it with Inner City Press.
OVP Venture Partners
Kirkland firm sets $200 million goal
OVP Venture Partners, which invests in technology startups, said yesterday that it would start raising its seventh venture fund in early 2006 with the goal of raising $200 million.
The Kirkland-based company would primarily raise capital from its existing limited partners and would welcome three to four new investors, said Kathy Love, the company's spokeswoman.
Qwest Communications
Company must pay Oregon $1.05 million
Qwest Communications International was ordered to pay $1.05 million by Oregon for failing to disclose contracts with other telecommunications companies.
Qwest, the No. 4 U.S. local telephone company, agreed to the penalty without admitting guilt, the Oregon Public Utility Commission said in a statement. State law requires carriers and competitors to provide interconnection agreements to the commission, the statement said.
The contracts were used to gain favor for the company's acquisition in 2000 of US West and to avoid opposition when Qwest entered the long-distance business, the statement said.
The commission found 13 major violations worth $50,000 each and 16 minor violations worth $25,000 each, the statement said.
News Web site offers free video viewing
CNN rolled out free video on its Web site yesterday. Previously, the site had been charging users $4.95 a month to view its videos, and also offered a $12.99 option that included a subscription to RealNetworks' SuperPass service.
Now, CNN has switched to Microsoft's Windows Media Player format for the free video, although SuperPass subscribers still can access CNN's video content.
CNN said it will launch a premium service this fall that offers video for a subscription fee, but it wouldn't say whether it will go with Microsoft or RealNetworks as a technology partner. A RealNetworks spokesman said yesterday that no long-term plans have been announced.
Online service has local search feature
Microsoft's MSN division launched yesterday a test version of a new local search service designed to give users telephone numbers, maps and other information.
MSN's search engine will have a "local" category that users can target for White Pages and Yellow Pages directory information.
Microsoft also said that the Virtual Earth mapping team will join MSN Search and will work on integrating search results with aerial images and Microsoft's MapPoint Web Service. The Virtual Earth product is expected to debut this summer.
Biotech: Drug meets goal to stop bleeding
ZymoGenetics said yesterday its drug for stopping surgical bleeding, Thrombin, met its main goal of demonstrating safety, and on average it was able to stop bleeding 27 percent faster than a placebo in a midstage clinical trial.
The Seattle biotech company said the detailed results were presented by Dr. Jeffrey Lawson of Duke University at a meeting of the Peripheral Vascular Surgical Society in Chicago.
Of the 37 patients in the study who received Thrombin, one patient produced antibodies against the drug.
For about 90 percent of patients receiving Thrombin, bleeding stopped within 10 minutes, compared with 74 percent of those treated with placebo.
Based on the results, the company said it plans to start a larger, pivotal trial of Thrombin in the second half of this year.
Net firm may expand into online payments
Hoping to build upon the power of its Internet leading search engine, Google is believed to be developing an online-payment system that would pose a stiff challenge to online auctioneer eBay's industry-dominating PayPal service.
Industry analysts, merchants and investors were digesting reports yesterday that the company is testing a payment system — code-named "Google Wallet" — in hopes of rolling out the service later this year.
Google declined to comment, but the company's silence didn't muffle the buzz about a service that would set up a showdown between two powerhouses.
Investors, meanwhile, appeared to view Google as a formidable threat. Google's shares gained $6.40, or 2.3 percent, yesterday to close at $286.70
eBay's shares dropped 81 cents, or 2.1 percent, to finish at $37.24.
Clearing House Association
U.S. judge allows probe of 11 big banks
A federal judge refused yesterday to grant a temporary restraining order that would have stopped New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer from investigating large U.S. banks for their lending practices to minorities.
The order was sought by The Clearing House Association of 11 banks and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), which are suing Spitzer's office on grounds that states do not have jurisdiction over national banks.
Judge Sidney Stein in the Southern District of New York handed Spitzer a symbolic victory by allowing his probe to continue despite the suits.
Eight of the 11 banks are federally chartered national banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Wachovia, Bank of America and The Bank of New York.
The OCC, part of the U.S. Treasury, and the bank group filed suit against the attorney general's office Thursday.

Eat Your Way to Healthier Lungs
Feed your lungs right.
You know to avoid smoking (and secondhand smoke), but here's another way to show lungs some love: Chow down on high-fiber foods.
A May 2016 study found they can boost lung function and lower the chance of problems like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Experts speculate that as the good bacteria in your gut digest fiber, they produce a powerful by-product that may reduce lung inflammation. Now that's a superfood.
How to Reap the Benefits
To get the payoff, aim for at least 17.5 grams of fiber daily. These sources will help you get the best bang for your buck:
- broccoli
- beans
- berries
- split peas
- lentils
- almonds
- artichoke
Happy eating!

AKbrosephwrote a question about Petzl Crevasse Rescue Kit on April 11, 2015
would a 30m rope be sufficient with this kit?
would a 30m rope be sufficient with this kit?
Do these have the hard knee cup that the original (pre-2011?) Kyle Straits had?
in my opinion this provides the best gopro angle for biking shots, having the handlebars in the frame of view makes for a super stable great angled shot, make sure you have the upd firmware on your camera and mount it upside down at about a 40 degree tilt (that way you wont just get a shot of the top tube), my only suggestion is the mounting plate area should be a little larger to stabilize the shot even more, it is well built and a lot burlier than i expected, definitely worth the money
anyone looking at one of these should pick one up, this is the best method period for shuttling, keeps the bikes and your truck from getting dented and scratched, well worth the money, durable and built to last

alpine support with walk mode and a vibramesque sole- it doesn't get any better than this...
I have used this boot approx 100 days/ yr in the AK bc the last 2 years. I use it for snowmachine access skiing on a pair of EP pros. Can't beat it for support and stiffness, and I wouldn't be able to ride my sled to all the sicky lines without the walk mode feature and the vibramesque sole.

Princeton Will Review Its Eating Clubs
September 18, 2009
Princeton University on Thursday announced a review of its relationship with eating clubs, which are beloved by many of their alumni but are seen by many others as representing an exclusionary era. The announcement was low key and said that a task force would "examine whether there are steps that can and should be taken to strengthen those relationships for the mutual benefit of the clubs and the university, and for the benefit of Princeton students and the undergraduate experience." In recent years, Princeton has embraced the undergraduate college model, greatly expanding social opportunities beyond the clubs.

Get serious about illegal immigration
State Rep. Debbie Riddle has unveiled one of the most ridiculous pieces of legislation in memory.
The Houston-area Republican wants the Texas Legislature to enact a law that makes it illegal for employers to hire illegal immigrants, unless they are — and this is no joke, even though it sounds like one — a maid or a gardener.
There's no need here to itemize the ghastly stereotyping examples that this legislation brings to mind.
Suffice to say exempting gardeners or maids falls into the category of gross insult to residents of Hispanic descent, given that virtually all illegal immigrants in Texas come across the border from Mexico.
Riddle's response to the criticism from many quarters is bizarre as well. Homeowners or business owners need not be afraid to hire illegal immigrants to do work around the house, Riddle says.
What in the world ... ?
Yes, Texas and the three other states — New Mexico, Arizona and California — that sit on our nation's border with Mexico have an illegal immigration crisis.
Arizona has taken controversial steps to deal with the issue, declaring that if the feds won't solve the problem, it should fall on the states to take matters into their own hands.
Texas well could follow suit before the 2011 Legislature adjourns in late May.
But the state also has an enormous budget deficit, the size of which has yet to be determined.
Both issues - immigration and the budget - require serious solutions.
Rep. Riddle's goofball illegal immigrant hiring bill doesn't even come close to deserving the Legislature's attention.
Highway debt up, but so is all other
Texans shouldn't be surprised that the level of state debt issued for transportation projects is rising — or that state debt in general is up.
Texans voted in 1997 for a constitutional amendment limiting general obligation debt. Is the state close to that limit? According to the Bond Review Board, the answer is a firm, absolute "no" — or "maybe." The Bond Review Board staff expects state borrowing to increase by $6.61 billion during the current fiscal year.
Now the state is in a budget crisis. Leaders have vowed to resolve it by cutting spending,.
The current rate of increased borrowing is not a suitable fallback.

Raw Milk Law in TN
Article by Shawn Dady on July 25, 2012
The only 2 ways to currently
obtain raw milk in the state of Tennessee
At this time in TN, it is illegal for a dairy farmer to sell clean, fresh raw milk from his farm directly to the public FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. There are only 2 ways to legally obtain raw milk in the state of Tennessee right now. Here they are below.
- It is legal for farmers to sell raw milk FOR PET CONSUMPTION only.
It must be labeled as such.
- It is legal to obtain fresh raw milk through share programs. either cow
shares, herd shares, or farm shares. Learn more about cow shares.
Not only can farmers now make raw milk obtainable for their cow share owners, they can also make MILK PRODUCTS available from their own milk, things like butter, cream, and cheeses.
Learn more about the law on butter, cream and cheese through cow shares.
We have been working diligently over the last 10 years to change the laws in the state of Tennessee and we have met with some success. The cow share law was a huge victory for our organization. See the links below for some of the history of what has happened with our raw milk efforts.
Why is TN Raw Milk Law this way?

Mandy Barnett's Classic Country
A 'Blue Blue Day' for the Nashville siren tonight on SoCo
By Jim Caligiuri,
3:30PM, Fri. Feb. 7, 2014
When people start talking about Mandy Barnett, eventually the word "amazing" gets used. The Nashville-based singer with a deep country style plays the Continental Club tonight and it's your shot at finding out what that word really means.
Barnett's been around long enough to have played the title role in the stage musical Always, Patsy Cline for 20 years. I was then surprised to discover she's still under 40. A singer from a very young age, she was on major labels early in her career, one highlight being 1999's I've Got A Right to Cry for Seymour Stein's Sire Records. Despite her obvious talent, country radio wasn't interested.
"I tried to go for it in the Nineties, and for whatever reason it didn't really work out," she offers. "I didn't try that hard after that. Wherever it was going, wherever radio is heading, I don't feel I fit into that so I stopped trying. It's been really important for me to maintain artistic integrity in doing traditional country music.
"I'm not a singer-songwriter. I don't have a wealth of new material to draw from, so I've gone the classic route. And I'm really happy that I've done that. I'm really satisfied with the recordings I've made. In the pop world, there's a place for someone like Michael Bublé, but in country there's not that place."
Barnett's most recent album fortifies her stance as a traditionalist. A tribute to one of country music's songwriting heroes of the Fifties and Sixties, I Can't Stop Loving You: The Songs of Don Gibson reworks Gibson-penned tunes like the Ray Charles' title track and "Sweet Dreams," which Patsy Cline made her own. The oft-covered "Oh Lonesome Me" is included as well as some of the subject's own hits, "Blue Blue Day" and "Just One Time."
Barnett and Gibson became close friends before his death in 2003 and it was it his idea that she record an album of his songs.
"I sing his songs on the Grand Ole Opry a lot," she explains. "Roy Orbison did an album of his songs in the Sixties and he thought it would be great if a woman did an album like that. The question, of course, was who was going to pay for it. Who was going to put it out?
"I struggled for a few years. It took me 10 years after he died, but I finally got it together. When you want to do a Don Gibson tribute record, nobody cares. It's was hard to find any money.
"So me and my manager put our money together and said to heck with it – we're gonna do it. We're gonna get it out of our systems and we'll figure out what to do with it later. It's easier to make it and then play it for people than talking about it."
To sweeten the deal, Country Music Hall of Fame members Harold Bradley, Hargus "Pig" Robbins, and Charlie McCoy, who played on some of Gibson's original recordings of these songs, are part of the band she used on the album.
"That's another thing," she adds. "I wanted to do it while Harold and Pig and those guys were still alive and playing great."
Barnett doesn't get to Austin often. She claims the last time she was here was for a gig on Sixth Street, of all places. I remember seeing her play at Central Market around the time of I've Got A Right to Cry.
Which isn't to say she doesn't fit right into the country scene around here. Part of her band tonight will be members of Heybale! Over the years, she's also appeared on discs by locals including Jessie Dayton, Rosie Flores, Don Walser, and Ray Price. Last summer she performed with Asleep at the Wheel in Greenville.
"It's always been important to me to do great songs and great material no matter what. The music coming out of Nashville now doesn't even resemble country music. People are rapping. I really had to go with my own dream of the mainstream."

Jon Bon Jovi reportedly is no longer involved in buying the Buffalo Bills.
Multiple reports surfaced late Friday that the New Jersey rock star and a Toronto-based group bidding to buy the NFL franchise have parted ways.
Bon Jovi was heading up the bid that included Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment chairman Larry Tanenbaum and Rogers Communications chairman Edward Rogers.
Rogers is said to be "very serious" about buying the team, and speculation is he and Tanenbaum figure future pitches will be stronger without Bon Jovi.
Bon Jovi reportedly would have been the principal owner at 30 per cent. But his estimated personal net worth of $300 million would have meant a maximum bid of $1.1 billion US, which falls short of other rumoured bids.
Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula, the supposed front-runners with an estimated net worth of $3.3 billion, initially bid $1.2 billion, according to reports.
Real-estate tycoon Donald Trump is also bidding to buy the Bills.
The New York Post indicated that Morgan Stanley, the firm overseeing the sale on behalf of late owner Ralph Wilson's estate, is seeking new backers to join Bon Jovi.

- About this book
Web services based on the eXtensible Markup Language (XML), the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), and related standards, and deployed in Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), are the key to Web-based interoperability for applications within and across organizations. It is crucial that the security of services and their interactions with users is ensured if Web services technology is to live up to its promise. However, the very features that make it attractive – such as greater and ubiquitous access to data and other resources, dynamic application configuration and reconfiguration through workflows, and relative autonomy – conflict with conventional security models and mechanisms.
Elisa Bertino and her coauthors provide a comprehensive guide to security for Web services and SOA. They cover in detail all recent standards that address Web service security, including XML Encryption, XML Signature, WS-Security, and WS-SecureConversation, as well as recent research on access control for simple and conversation-based Web services, advanced digital identity management techniques, and access control for Web-based workflows. They explain how these implement means for identification, authentication, and authorization with respect to security aspects such as integrity, confidentiality, and availability.
This book will serve practitioners as a comprehensive critical reference on Web service standards, with illustrative examples and analyses of critical issues; researchers will use it as a state-of-the-art overview of ongoing research and innovative new directions; and graduate students will use it as a textbook on advanced topics in computer and system security.

- Reviews
From the reviews:"This book deals exclusively with SOAP based Web services. … the book could serve as a good review and reference. … The book targets three distinct audiences, practitioners, students and researchers. … I suspect students and researchers will find the first half of this book a fast paced review or a somewhat useful reference, at best. The second half of the book contains material that might be more useful to students and researchers." (Karthik Ramachandran, ACM Computing Reviews, September, 2010)

EMILIO IZAGUIRRE has warned any potential suitors that they will be wasting their time if they try to entice him way from Celtic.
The Honduran defender, who turns 28 on Saturday, is about to enter the final year of his contract at Parkhead.
That could alert clubs in England, especially as Izzy has now recaptured the form which made him a signing target in his first season with the Hoops.
Izaguirre is now fully recovered from the broken ankle which he sustained at the start of his second season in green and white.
And, with another appearance in the World Cup finals on the horizon - it was the stage where he first caught the eye of Parkhead boss Neil Lennon when he played for Honduras against Spain at the 2010 finals in South Africa - Izzy could again be in the spotlight when he lines up in Brazil against France, Ecuador and Switzerland.
Izaguirre yesterday became, alongside Rangers' Arnold Peralta, the first Scottish-based players to be given a ticket to Brazil.
And he will once again be one of the key men for the unfancied nation, ranked 32 in the world.
"I could not please everyone with this selection, but I have tried my best," boss Luis Fernando Suarez said.
"I have great faith and trust in these players and believe they will do Honduras proud at the World Cup."
A World Cup on Brazilian soil will be seen as the ultimate football experience for some players.
It will be Izaguirre's second participation at the finals, but the Hoops hero has no intentions of packing his bags again on his return to Glasgow later this year.
Izaguirre said: "I appreciate all the things Celtic have done for me. I have one more year (of my contract) left, but I will sign here no problem."
Izzy joins Mikael Lustig and Kris Commons in entering the final year of his current deal.
But, like his two team-mates, he recognises he is already at a club where he is winning trophies and developing as a player.
"I am happy here as Celtic opened the door for my career in Europe," explained the man who signed from Honduran club Motagua for just £640,000 in 2010 after a number of clubs down south passed on the chance to recruit him.
Izaguirre has had no regrets about that, and said: "I want to play in the Champions League every year and win more leagues and cups.
"I have enjoyed it here and I am very happy, but I want more joy next season."
Izaguirre suffered bitter disappointment at the end of his first season at Celtic when they just lost out to Rangers in the title run-in.
However, he has picked up championship medals in each of the three years since then, and aims to continue being a serial winner.
Izaguirre said: "When I signed for Celtic, I thought it was a club that won titles every year, and I am happy that I have won two cups and three leagues. Next season, I will try to win all of the trophies."
Izaguirre said his goodbye to Parkhead - but only for this season - at the weekend as he bowed out in style by helping the Hoops to a 5-2 win over second-placed Aberdeen.
He has being given time off by boss Lennon to recharge his batteries ahead of the World Cup and will miss the meeting with St Johnstone tonight and Sunday's Parkhead party against Dundee United.
Another winner's medal has only added to the left-back's sense of enjoyment at life in Scotland.
And it is a feeling shared by his family, especially son Emilio Jnr. Izzy said: "It's a really good moment for me to see my family so happy.
"Emilio loves football. He plays every day and supports Celtic. He wants to play all of the time, but sometimes I am tired."
In Izaguirre's absence, Celtic will head to McDiarmid Park tonight aiming to continue their charge towards the 100 points barrier in the Premiership.
It would be another notable achievement for Lennon's side, who extended their lead at the top of the table to a huge 30 points with an eye-catching triumph over the Dons.
"We are hungry to win every game," Izaguirre told the Celtic matchday programme. "We try every week to win and keep clean sheets.
"It's very hard when we play against the other teams. We need to be stronger than they are and score quickly.
"It can be very difficult playing away from home, but we have done very well this year.
"There is a strong togetherness in the squad, and we have been playing better and more consistently in the league.
"This is my fourth year here, and we all play for the team. It isn't possible to win every game or play the same way every week. But, we try to do that."
Izzy's return to top form has been a major factor in Celtic's cruise to the title this season.
But he is already setting his sights on even more glory next time around.
He said: "The target at the start of the season is qualifying for the Champions League. After that, we concentrate on trying to win every game in the league.
"We didn't do well in the cups, but we will try to do better in those next year. It's special to win a title as you work hard for a whole year, and it's nice to get the trophy. But, what is important is doing well again next season."

What an odd little game!
A friend from work showed me this: http://playnileonline.com
Its like Civ / Pharah / Caesar online.
I love these types of games. To me, its like chocolate. You can't just take one bite and then walk away.
The potential for these types of games are huge. Imagine receiving an SMS when your village has run out of money / food? An alert when your village has finished building an upgrade to the market? Or being told that someone has invaded you?
Heap cool!
WoW – Arco String Quartet
Arco String Quartet were recently asked to record the soundtrack for World of Warcraft. This will be part of a pre Christmas released.
It includes The Burning Crusade & The Wrath of the Lich King
How cool is that!?
Rock on!

Thursday, Feb. 20 — This has been an outstanding year already for those of us who like a little science with our reading. In addition to some fine non-fiction books, The Martian (last week) and Andrew's Brain (below) bring a satisfying helping of real science to works of outstanding fiction. Here's what we're reading:
Elizabeth Kolbert
Good science writing is both entertaining and informative. Great science writing is also important, and that's where Ms. Kolbert's new book comes in.
The Sixth Extinction is three things: an overview of how we slowly came to understand that there had been creatures alive on Earth that were no longer here. It was an idea as controversial and heretical at the time as Darwin's. She also describes the five great extinctions that have occured since the dawn of complex life, and what our current understanding tells us about why they happened. And then the author takes to the road, travelling to the Andes, the Great Barrier Reef, Panama, and wildlife preserves and zoos around the world. The evidence she presents makes a very compelling case for a chilling conclusion - that we're currently in the midst of the Earth's sixth great extinction and that our own restless, dominant species is the primary reason. The science behind her writing is clear and convincing. I might only suggest that you not read the description of how an endangered rhinocerous is given an ultrasound while you're eating. kobo eBook
John Brockman
I've really come to look forward to these annual collections from contributors to Edge.org, the multi-disciplinary science website. Every year editor John Brockman throws out a question to scientists of any discipline to address. The responses are short essays you can snack on like brain-stretching popcorn.
This year the responses are ones that may keep you up at night, so be warned. All of the contributors address the question of what the real threats to our planet and way of life are, as opposed to the false fears that distract us too easily. The topics range all over the scientific map; the likelihood of war, advances in medicine and health care, population growth and distribution, the advance of the virtual, global economics...you get the idea. kobo eBook
E. L. Doctorow
This masterful novel is essentially one long conversation. Andrew, who we come to realize is an accomplished cognitive scientist, is being questioned or interrogated by a doctor, probably in the psychiatric field. Andrew is recounting his life, certain very traumatic episodes of his life in particular, in an evasive and combative dialogue with his interlocutor. Through most of the book, the reader doesn't know the circumstances of, or the reason for this conversation. Mr. Doctorow shows us why he's one of America's greatest novelists as he slowly pulls the curtain aside in the last chapters. A story that had been an engaging intellectual exercise becomes one of stunning surprise, black humor and heartbreaking emotion - an absurdist tragedy in the classic sense. Beautifully done, sir. kobo eBook
Join me in the 28th Street Schuler Studio next Tuesday!
The day (or evening, rather) is nearly here! I'll be in the Schuler Studio on 28th Street in Grand Rapids to talk about books, along with a couple of our very best booksellers. 7:00pm is the time and Tuesday, February 25th is the date. We'll have coffee and snacks waiting, along with some books and publisher goodies to give away. We'll tell you about our favorite reads (current and upcoming), you tell us about yours, and feel free to ask anything you like. "Do you really read all of those books you write about?" for example.
I read an interesting debate in last week's NYT Book Review between authors Francine Prose and Zoë Heller. They were discussing whether or not book reviewers should publish negative reviews. It was an early decision for me to not do so; if I don't like a book I simply don't write about it, preferring to use this limited space to discuss only those I feel are worth your time and hard-earned money. How do you feel about it folks? Should disappointing books be panned or ignored?
Until next week,
NeilNeil Rajala is Currently Director of Community & Business Services for Schuler Books, Neil's decade with the company has included the wearing of many different hats - and lots and lots of reading.

I see zero need to spend hundreds on dollars on a bag when I'm not anywhere around 1,000 rated. I'd rather spend that extra money on other things, and it's very comfortable to boot. If you don't like that looks that's fine, looks are a person-to-person quality trait.
Agreed. I think this bag is an amazing value. If you go on Discaroo's "Gear" section tonight, you'll see a USED Revolution Backpack for $180.00. It's basically the same bag that's modded here.
Is it EXACTLY the same? No. The Revo bag is geared exclusively for disc golf.
Is it pretty damn close? Yes. The layout of the discs are in the same spot, as well as the storage. Plus, the modded bag actually looks a little more comfortable to wear.
Lastly, the USED Revo bag is also $130 more than the Cabela's bag. $115 more if you add the frame to the Cabela's bag.
I'm Michael J. Fox, and that's one to grow on.

Saudi Foreign Minister calls for end to anti-Saudi campaign
In a keynote address to the US-Arab Economic Summit, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal said that more effort is needed to improve political, economic and cultural ties between the United States and Saudi Arabia. He also expressed deep concern about the campaign that is being waged by some, in order to undermine US/Saudi relations.
Prince Saud emphasized the close cooperation that currently exists between the US and Saudi Arabia, especially in fighting terrorism, and cited the many successes that joint counter-terrorism efforts have achieved. He also dismissed charges that have been leveled against Saudi Arabia which have attempted to malign Saudi society, faith and culture. — (menareport.com)
