Playing inside hasn't been easy for David King.
The senior defensive end moved to defensive tackle for Oklahoma's first two games this season after Casey Walker was out due to personal issues and Stacy McGee was suspended indefinitely.
King feels undersized for the position and admitted he was "knocked off the ball" a couple of times against UTEP. It's been a major adjustment for him to move inside.
"It's a war," King said. "You have to worry about the guy in front of you and worry about the tackle coming down on you. IT's the most physically demanding position on the field."
King has played well early for OU, however. He has five tackles, two quarterback hurries and one sack this season.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for The Art of Elysium, Los Angeles, CA, USA
When I first met The Art of Elysium, I was working as a Child Life Specialist at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. The Art of Elysium provided a unique opportunity for children to explore their feelings and experiences. It's hard for many children to express themselves in such difficult times...through a painting, a photograph, a song or play...I was able to see children tell their stories in ways they never knew possible.
Being a member of The Art of Elyisum family for 12 years, I have seen the postive impact on both the children and the artists.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
in both my profession and personal lives. The impact of The Art of Elysium has helped to shape my own professional philosophy.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
encourage expansion to other cities outside of Los Angeles and New York City.

Two dead in overnight house fire
WINDERMERE, Fla. (FOX 35 WOFL) - Authorities are investigating a house fire that left two people dead in Windermere.
Windermere Police Department received the call around 12:45 a.m. for a house on fire on Main Street.
Two officers arrived on scene and attempted to locate any occupants inside. The officers attempted to break a back window to gain entry into the burning home, but the residence was too engulfed with flames to make entry.
Orange County Fire Rescue and Ocoee Fire Department had a defensive attack on the fire and were able to extinguish it.
Ken Ward, 72, and Susan Ward, 70, were located inside the residence deceased.
There is no indication of foul play, according to Windermere Police Chief Dave Ogden.
"A standard death investigation is underway with local and State Fire Marshals and police detectives," Chief Ogden said. "This is a tragedy. Please keep the families in your thoughts and prayers."

MANILA – President Rodrigo Duterte said on Thursday that he made a promise to God that he will stop cussing in his speeches.
"I was looking at the skies as I was coming over here. Everybody was asleep snoring. A voice said that you know 'If you don't stop, I will bring this plane down now.' And I said, who is this? Of course, it's God. Oh, Okay. So, I promised God not to express slang, cuss words," Duterte said upon arriving in Davao City after his three-day official visit to Japan.
"You guys hear me right because a promise to God is a promise to the Filipino people," he added.
The President admitted that he has not always been foul-mouthed and believed that there's always a time for cussing.
"There is always a time to be foul-mouthed. I don't like anybody reading my mind. It's all calibrated, it's always timing. Watch out for one thing, that's what I've learned, miscalculation," he explained.
For the record, Duterte did not curse once during the press briefing.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: I have a major leak in trunk area of 2006 BMW X3. It ruined my battery Bluetooth on 2006 BMW X3
I have been drying it out every time it rains or I go through car wash. I have recently removed panels in trunk and they are soaked. Any suggestions?
I had a similar problem on my 2005 X3. I found the gasket between the tail lights and the body was bad. The tail lights would fill up and then the water would leak in around the bulbs. It ruined the Bluetooth and partially filled the battery compartment. I replaced the gasket and also very carefully drilled some small 'drain holes' in the bottom of the tail lights in case the gaskets failed again.
Trunk seal leaks can be tough to diagnose. Most of the time the best way is to get in the trunk with a very bright flashlight and close the lid. Have a helper spray very slowly around the seal at an agreed upon direction. Keep watching and you will find the leak.

How you can help the Iranian protesters
At this critical juncture, one of the main ways you can help, even if you're not a technical person, is to help make sure the Iranian protesters have access to the internet and the most effective way you can do that is to setup and run a proxy server.
Proxy servers act as 'go betweens' between a users computer and the end site they're trying to reach. They work because, when a government blocks a site, users can connect to proxy servers which fetch the site for them. That way, users have access to a site even if it's blocked.
In the video above, I show you how to setup a proxy server using the 3 user evaluation version of CC proxy. While 3 users might not sound like a lot, in a time when unfiltered access to the web is needed, it could be a lifesaver.
In order to setup your proxy server, you will need:
1. An evaluation copy of CCProxy
2. A working internet connection
3. About 10 minutes to set it all up
Watch the video above and it'll walk you through the steps you need to perform to get your server up and running.
Good luck to everyone in Iran and thank those of you who decide to help by setting up a proxy.

Nice video explanation. I have only one question and that's what address do we pass on to the potential users in Iran so they can utilize it? I'm new at proxy server setup but don't we need an address to pass on to them?

I'll try once again to post this.
What us novices need is, once we have used CCproxy to set up proxy, then we need to know: what is the number (address) that we have set up in order to notify @stopAhmadi
that is what we need. Thanks very much, we only want to help.

You need to pass your PUBLIC IP address. That is the address that is visible to the internet. If you are behind a router, you will need to go to www.whatismyip.com. This will give you your PUBLIC IP address.
Once you have that, go to your routers configuration and find PORT FORWARDING. Forward whatever port you setup your proxy to listen on to the machine that has the proxy server. For example, if your public IP is 188.8.131.52 and you setup your proxy on your laptop which has a private IP of 192.168.1.10 on port 2100, forward port 2100 on your router to 192.168.1.10.
If you have problems, email me, I'll help.

Gignac to miss Blues clash
Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac will miss the Champions League clash with Chelsea on Wednesday.
Last Updated: 07/12/10 5:40pm
Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac will miss the UEFA Champions League clash with Chelsea on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old France international has not recovered from the groin injury he suffered two weeks ago and will have to watch the Stade Velodrome clash from the sidelines.
Marseille and the Blues have already qualified for the knockout rounds of the tournament but manager Didier Deschamps confirmed Gignac will miss the final group game.
He told the club's official website: "He is injured and has not been able to train normally yesterday (Monday) because he still feels some pain."
Brazilian forward Brandao is expected to deputise for the French outfit, and L'OM will be looking for revenge after they lost 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in the reverse fixture.

Christmas songs...
- Details
- Written by Chelsea Cook
Wellsir, Christmas season is upon us and it is time for you curmudgeons to be jolly. Not saying that all of you are curmudgeons, but you know of whom I speak. One way to become jolly, even after the political season we have just lived through, is to listen to Christmas music. Having been involved with a few Christmas concerts, choir cantatas, and programs, I have become familiar with Christmas music from several venues. As much as I enjoyed directing, performing and arranging choir Christmas cantatas, there was nothing that stirred the deep feelings of Christmas like a good instrumental concert. The richness of the sound, the depth of emotions as the chords melded from melody to accompaniment that resounded in the very basic structures of the humanness of all who heard it was in the words of the poet, "pleasing to the soul."
I once was offered a position teaching band in a large town in Texas. I was asked why I waited so long to start working on my spring contest material and I told the man that i first had to do a Christmas concert. He was mystified that I would, according to his facial and body expressions, waste my time on that when I "should have" been working on contest material. There was obviously no way to explain to him that the entire meaning of the Christmas season, whether or not one was a Christian, was worth all the hours and all the hard work the kids put in. Besides the fact that they knew there was a critical audience who would judge them waiting for them in a very short time. Had I accepted the offered position that would have been a point of contention between us, I fear.
But Christmas is no time to think of the bad side of things. Starting with "White Christmas" done by the iconic singer, Bing Crosby we have had a plethora of wonderful Christmas songs which have been at the top of most music charts. Bing's version was in the top ten from 1942 through 1949. It would be starting an argument to say the singer made the song or the song made the singer. Either way, people still enjoy this classic Christmas song. After that the country version, "Blue Christmas, came long and was done first by Earnest Tubb and made a hit in 1950 and Elvis re-did it later. I preferred Mr. Tubb's version.
For those of us who are old enough to remember, and for the younger ones to wish they had been here back then, Gene Autry turned "Frosty the Snowman" into a #1 hit. The story, as i remember it, was Mr. Autry's manager did not want him to do that "silly song" but Gene held out, did the song and prolonged his career much further along. Autry also did "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" which shot to the top of the charts and became an almost instantaneous hit. If you listen closely this season you may even hear his version still being played. His recording started the whole Rudolph schtick and you cannot escape all of it unless you are living in a cave in Siberia. And is you are, don't be surprised if Rudolph flies by your cave just to be naughty.
One thing I had forgotten, but was reminded as I was researching Christmas music, was how "Silver Bells" came to be. The two men who wrote the musical, "Guys and Dolls, knew it was time for something else as the whole song market was down. They wrote this tune and named it, "Tinkle Bells." One of the men's wives is said to have told her husband, "Are you out of your mind? Do you know what the word 'tinkle' means to most people?" They changed that word and the title. The song became so popular that a whole scene in the movie, in which it was introduced, was expanded to feature it. Bob Hope, who was the leading man, made it his Christmas theme and used it for all his television Christmas specials. For those of you who are too young to remember, each Christmas season, Bob Hope would take a large group of entertainers to U.S.military stationed somewhere around the world. He did this for many, many years and he always took "Silver Bells" with him.
"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "The Christmas Song," (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...) have been around since the early 1940's and as good today as they were back in those far-way times. They still raise goosebumps when they are done with the proper voice and style and will probably be around when your grandkids are old. I hope so! All these songs and several others just make the world a better place when one can slow down long enough to listen to them. I hope you get that opportunity.

|Concert, dinner to celebrate Heights synagogue's 102nd year
|Written by The Jersey Journal
article by The Jersey Journal, published on Sunday, June 15, 2008
Congregation Mt. Sinai, on Sherman Avenue in the Jersey City Heights, celebrates its 102nd year today with a concert and dinner, according to the Jewish Standard.
The oldest functioning Orthodox congregation in the city, it has been looking for descendants of the founding members and alumni of the Talmud Torah to be honored during the celebration, the paper said.
According to a release on HudsonJewish.org, the synagogue is looking for the following families, descendants of the founding members: Blaustein, Brauer, Bresnick, Chasick, Chenkin, Chester, Gewant, Gutmann, Fellerman, Fishman, Geiger, Hauptman, Halprin, Helfand, Hordes, Kahnowitz, Kanor, Landy, Marcus, Miller, Novick, Passman, Pesin, Pepper, Pomerantz, Samuelson, Schlossberg, Slurzberg, Sinakin, Sklower, Shneweiss, Sunshine, Urdang, Winograd, Yasmer, Zall and Zeller.

Benefits of Keeping Active
The advantages of being physically active during pregnancy are definitely not just confined to you – it has a direct positive impact on your baby before birth, immediately after birth, and further on throughout life.
- Benefits for you:
- Less aches and pains (back pain, cramps etc.) as your body will be better conditioned and supple;
- Reduced swelling of your hands and feet due to improved circulation;
- Reduced chance of developing blood clots and varicose veins;
- Alleviating nausea as activity diverts blood from your stomach to your muscles;
- Reduction in heart burn;
- Improved sleep quality;
- Overall improved emotional wellbeing (more relaxed, less anxiety and less mood swings) - related to dopamine, endorphins and serotonin release stimulated by physical activity;
- Reduces constipation;
- Reduced risk of developing chronic diseases (diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis and cancer);
- Healthier weight gain in pregnancy and easier loss of pregnancy weight.
- Getting outdoors in the sunshine naturally elevates mood and boosts vitamin D levels;
- Decreased risk of getting high blood pressure in pregnancy;
- More chance of maintaining an active lifestyle once your baby is born - it will only get harder to make exercise part of your routine as life gets that bit more hectic with a new baby.
- Benefits for your baby:
- Before
- More effective nutrient and oxygen delivery and waste removal;
- Reduced fat mass translating to a reduced risk of being overweight or obese later in life; and
- Improved stress tolerance e.g. late pregnancy, labour and birth translating to a reduced risk of delivery complications.
- After
- Improved ability to adjust positively to their environment, and settling after a disruption; and
- More alert, less irritable.
- As they grow
- Better motor skills; and
- Better performance on intelligence tests.
- Before birth:
Exercise helps you feel more energetic. This may be hard to believe if you are out of practice and have been feeling low in energy for some time. Keep in mind that when establishing a regular exercise regime you may feel even more tired than usual for the first couple of weeks – but stick with it because within two weeks your fitness will increase along with your muscle tone, aerobic capacity and feeling of energy – this translates to greater resilience and ability to cope with daily challenges when pregnant.
"I remember being just so tired and all I wanted to do was plonk down in front of the TV but once I got myself up and went for a walk it was amazing just how much better I felt. To help motivate myself I dressed in my fitness clothes and sneakers each day so there was no excuse not to do at least some sort of physical activity and I found it also helped me not to overeat".
Establish your exercise regime well before your child is born and you will be much more likely to maintain it after the birth. This means you will be a role model to your child - if you want your child to be physically active as they grow up you need to be teaching them by setting an example from early

This Tomato Onion smoothie is as green as you can get. Not only does it offer a mix of very bold tastes, it also gives you the perfect opportunity to make it as spicy and "hot" as you want. I think this is the perfect recipe to add a little (or a lot) hotsauce of your choice. Me, I prefer Tabasco but you might like something else. I don't think it really matters too much!
In your favorite smoothie blender mix:
1/3 cup sweet onions
2-3 fresh tomatoes
1/2 cup zucchini squash
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 carrot
1 tsp curry powder
Ice to taste

[Wikipedia]: In 1989, sixties pop group The Turtles sued hip-hop band De La Soul for using a sample from their 1969 hit "You Showed Me" for the interlude track "Transmitting Live from Mars," despite the fact that The Turtles did not actually write the original song.
Last week, the Library of Congress selected De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising for the National Recording Registry. This is only the second hip-hop album to receive this status, after Public Enemy's Fear of a Black Planet, which was added in 2004.
Both records would be impossible to release today, due to current copyright law and the environment for licensing samples, which is both expensive and unwieldy.
The following is a faux-letter to the Library of Congress from the Turtles, protesting the addition of De La Soul to the National Recording Registry. It was written by my policy intern Adam Holofcener. We believe that the following bit of satire is covered under a clear parody exception.
To: Library of Congress
From: The Turtles[1
Re: More like "Piracy-brary" of Congress
Date: 4/20/11
Dear Library,
We, the Turtles, were extremely disappointed with your decision to name De La Soul's morally bankrupt recording, Three Feet High and Rising, to the 2010 registry of the National Recording Preservation Board of the Library of Congress. This is not an exercise in envy, um, lest you, Library, tactfully forget our magnanimous barrage of decorative hand soaps to your personal residencies.[2] But, back to the matter at hand, The American Criminal Law! Or, is it Copyright?[3] Whatever the case, our American courts have determined[4] that De La Soul fiendishly appropriated our wits and bravado without due cause or compensation. Plagiarism! Barbarism! Patriotism! We are well aware that the Library has rational faculties at their beck and call; however, we would prefer that they use such faculties in a way that does not promote rampant intellectual theft.[5]
We, or shall I say "I,"[6] would like to remind the Library that we obtained a pretty nice out-of-court settlement from Messrs. De, La and Soul which, in a certain way of looking at it, bound us to them and their nefarious work in perpetuity.[7] Thus, we propose a new out of-court-settlement to accompany our last one.[8] If De Law® Soul is in the registry, then we would also like to be inducted. We aren't terribly sure how the registry is organized (perhaps by alphabetical order?), but, whatever the case, we would like to be inserted directly in front of De La's entry.[9] The symbiotic nature of our two works has gotten very "Frodo and the Ring"-ish in our book. Some have said that characterizing the works this way is a unique reading of the situation that literally no one else has bothered to notice.[10] Well, fiddlesticks. The Turtles and De La Soul go together like fried haddock and mushy peas.[11] I could really go for some mushy peas; perhaps, even, some fiddlesticks. You have gotten me off track![12]
In conclusion, Library, it would be our honor to invite you to a band showcase that we are having at "The Whiskey A Go Go" this evening. I told the promoter that we could bring at least 37 people and he seemed impressed. We hope you take our considerations to heart when contemplating new additions to your registry.[13] Again, great work on the Songs of the Humpback Whales pull!
To us being "Happy Together,"
The Turtle(s)
[2] Are hand soaps not "in" anymore?
[3] Our lawyers are unclear, as well.
[4] Well, maybe not "officially" determined, but their large, looming shadow really pushed our cause into the litigious end-zone, so to speak.
[5] A job well done on choosing Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man," for this year's registry.
[6] [Ed's. Note: At this point, it seems clear that all but vocalist Howard Kaylan has relocated to the local watering hole in the less prosperous section of the Hollywood Hills.]
[7] In the settlement, we tried to stipulate that the group change its name to "De Law Soul," as a constant reminder of the infrastructure surrounding their future creative endeavors, but we, sadly, lacked the clout.
[8] Our lawyer has repeatedly asked us to ignore the law, and all allusions to it, in responses to this inquiry.
[9] Please send us the official Dewey decimal demarcation of our LP's placement.
[10] A fan commented that it was similar to baseball teams that think they are engaged in an explicit rivalry with the New York Yankees even though they are not the Boston Red Sox.
[11] [Ed's. Note: Kaylan has gradually affected an East London accent ("Top of the Pops" reruns have been on throughout the making of this transcription). There is probably a correlation between this possibly unconscious behavior and the ingestion of his fifth Pimms Cup.]
[12] [ . . . Eds. Note]
[13] Have you thought of doing this more than once a year? I am in a business class at the Santa Monica Community College and the Professor has stressed that limiting yourself to such few engagements does not, in fact, "up the rarity factor."

Cavour was a superlatively adept practitioner of the brand of diplomacy often called Realpolitik, or the politics of realism and power. As chief minister of Piedmont, he cultivated French and English support, bringing Piedmont into the Crimean War on their side against Russia.
He received no immediate reward, but he finally persuaded Napolean III that the Austrian hold in northern Italy was a denial of the principle of nationality. Thus in 1859 France and Piedmont went to war with Austria. Meantime, sympathetic nationalistic uprisings in Tuscany and the Papal States seemed likely to bring about their merger into an expanding Piedmont. Dismayed by this prospect and by possible Prussian intervention on Austria's behalf, Napoleon III backed out of the war. At a conference with
Francis Joseph, the Austrian emperor, at Villafranca in July 1859, Napoleon arranged his compromise whereby Lombardy was to go to Piedmont, Venetia was to remain Austrian, and the old arrangements were to be restored in the other states. Cavour resigned in bitter protest.
He had, however, already won. The wave of popular agitation rose higher in northern and central Italy; in Parma, Modena, Tuscany, and the Romagna (the most northerly province of the Papal States) bloodless revolutions and plebiscites demanded annexation to Piedmont.
Early in 1860 Cavour returned to office to manage the annexations and also to pay off Napoleon III by ceding Savoy and Nice to France. He turned next to the rapidly developing situation in the Papal States and the south. In May an expedition outfitted in Piedmontese ports, but not formally acknowledged by Cavour's government, set out for Naples and Sicily under Garibaldi.
A republican as well as a nationalist agitator, Garibaldi had defended Mazzini's Roman Republic against a French siege. Cavour deeply distrusted Garibaldi, who he feared might make Italy a republic and so alarm the powers that they would intervene to undo Cavour's own achievements. Cavour therefore sought to control Garibaldi's expedition and exploit its success in the interests of his own policy.
Garibaldi and his thousand Red Shirts had relatively little trouble in overcoming the feeble opposition of the Bourbon king in Sicily. Recruits swarmed to his flag. Garibaldi, who had announced his loyalty to Victor Emmanuel, crossed the Straits of Messina to continue his victorious march on the mainland territories of Naples. He had the support of the British prime minister, with the implication that British naval forces might act to block outside intervention against his movement.
Cavour, alarmed lest Garibaldi bring on a new crisis by marching north to take Rome from the pope and offend France and other Catholic powers, sent Piedmontese troops to occupy all the remaining papal territories except Rome and its environs. King Victor Emmanuel soon joined forces with Garibaldi near Naples and assured the triumph of Cavour's policy. In the autumn of 1860 Sicily, Naples, and the papal domains of Umbria and the Marches voted for union with Piedmont.
The result was the proclamation in March 1861 of the kingdom of Italy—essentially a much enlarged Piedmont-Sardinia, but with Florence as its capital and Victor Emmanuel as its monarch. Territorially, the work of the Risorgimento was almost complete. Only two more major areas were needed—Austrian Venetia and Papal Rome.
Venetia came as a reward for Italy's siding with Prussia in the brief war of 1866 in which Prussia defeated Austria; Rome came when the Franco-Prussian War forced Napoleon III to withdraw from papal territory. On October 2, 1870, Rome was annexed to the kingdom of Italy and became its capital.

(Information in this team report is as of October 1.)
Something strange happened in A-10 country in 2004-05: Xavier didn't earn a postseason tournament invitation for the first time in nine years.
Perhaps we shouldn't have been all that surprised as Xavier had a new head coach (Sean Miller succeeded Thad Matta, who bolted for Ohio State) and Miller inherited an inexperienced roster with no returning double-figure scorers. This year, it looks like Miller's team is well stocked enough to start a new streak of postseason trips. Miller welcomes back all five starters, including four double-figure scorers.
"There is more of a known quantity about this year's team than there was a year ago," Miller said. "The unknown a year ago extended throughout the season. We had a lot of different parts come together. This year, there will be more consistency in terms of defined roles. There is also a lot of competition for playing time, a lot of competition for starting roles."

"He could be the boy next door..." 05 July 1978 Horror 95 mins
Martin (John Amplas) sedates women with a syringe full of narcotics and then slices their wrists with a razor blade so he can drink their blood. Martin, who comes to live with his uncle and niece in the dying town of Braddock, Pennsylvania, has romantic monochrome visions of vampiric seductions and torch-lit mobs, but it is impossible to tell how seriously he takes them.

I will bet you will go under water with this. Look up the KBB value for your car now; if it is even close to what you owe the dealership will give you less. This means that you will be taking a loan out for the new car that is more than the new car is worth. This is not even including the 20 precent value loss you have for driving the new car off the lot and it becoming a used car. Therefore, the main question is ... How much have you saved to put down with the trade in. it is horrible for anyone to owe more than they can get out of a car, and you should always plan on having 20percent down so that you are least not at risk of driving the car off the lot, getting into an accident, totaling new car, and insurance not even covering it. Leaving you with thousands of dollars to pay on a car you do not even have anymore. This is why there is GAP insurance, but why pay for that when you can save and not have an issue? In so far as your score. Your credit score will drop some due to two reasons for sure and possibly a third. 1 average age of open credit will be lower 2 Hard inquiries 3 may affect your total credit utilization (right now you have 9.7k of whatever the car cost, utilized the new loan will be 100& utilized) So if you are going to be needing a high credit score in the near future, this does have an effect. The effect will diminish in a year or so.

Sounds like a very expensive WANT instead of a need. Keep the vehicle you have now, build your credit, save some money and then consider getting a new vehicle. You'll appreciate it more. I do.

One of the most fascinating and interesting subjects that has been under scrutiny by man is his quest about the origin and the birth of civilization New discoveries from the remains of fossilized bones excavated from the earth at various places throw more light on the subject and makes it more interesting.
The latest line of thinking in regard to human origin zeroes down to two major theories:
• According to one theory, different types of humanoid developed in parallel across the different parts of the universe, and
• The second theory believes that mankind originally developed several million years ago in what we call at present as Africa, and from there man moved across to other regions in the world – especially – first to Asia, then to Australia, followed by Europe and finally the Americas.
We have arrived at some broad consensus with regard to the human origin and birth of civilization. They are:
• Over a considerable period of time, the species belonging to the Homo erectus group were replaced by the Homo sapiens, the group in which humans are categorized.
• The emergence of Homo sapiens occurred sometime between 130,000 years to 200,000 years from now – the period when the human origin took place in the universe.
• One of the earliest generations of Homo sapiens was found to have developed in Africa. Most of the early Homo sapiens lived in caves and were mostly hunter-gatherers
• These hunter-gatherers moved out of the African region in pursuit of hunting and, breaking the Sub-Saharan barrier, moved into other regions which we now categorize under Asia, Australia, and Europe. These hunter-gatherers also successfully crossed the land bridge and entered into the Americas.
• The hunter-gatherers were responsible for developing the cave societies with Neolithic mankind.
• The Neolithic mankind, in pursuit of green pastures, found the river valleys engulfing the major rivers such as the Nile, Tigris, Indus, Euphrates, and Huang Ho and created the first civilizations of human kind in these river valleys.
• The Danube River is the link for the hunter-gatherer into what we now call as Europe and from Europe these hunter-gatherers eventually crossed the Atlantic to the Americas.
Human civilization developed along these river valleys and it is these civilizations that led to major breakthroughs in how the man shaped his life in the world. It is these early civilizations that paved way for the man to understand the nature and also take control over the nature. He learnt and mastered the art of domestication of animals, found ways and means for food in the form of agriculture and also discovered the early techniques of irrigation.

Firefox has a free extension that scans a page to generate keywords, sorts them by weight and recurrence. It's called KGen and it generates: affiliate, keyword, forum, tool, marketing, abestweb, nyfalcon, network, thread, program for this thread page along with the generics: then, which, etc. It is useful and free.

WordTracker's pretty good, but I've caught it missing off some of the long-tail keywords/phrases (IOW, it'll say there are "0" searches for some long-tail phrases, even though my logs show SE referrals coming in on those exact phrases).
Ever since I've spotted this, I've had some doubts as to its accuracy, at least on the terms that don't get many searches. There are enough searches for these phrases that it'd be good for maybe a sale every 2 months, per term. Not blowing the doors down, you wouldn't think, but multiply that by 60 such phrases, and it'd amount to a sale a day. Depending on the product(s) in question, that could be serious money.There is no knowledge that is not power. ~Hemingway

WordTracker is good.
The Overture Keyword Selector Tool is also good, but it doesn't always work and the data is not updsated regularly.
You always have to consider the sources of the data. WordTracker uses data from searches in Dogpile and Metacrawler. The Overture tool uses searches performed in Yahoo properties.There's good, fast and cheap. Pick any two.

Keyword Discovery's free tool has way more capability and information than we can even have time to target. The numbers just need to be crunched against the competition with thorough competitive analysis. All any of them are good for is comparative figures for demand, then we're on our own for what we do with their data.
They're a starting point. Then there's:
-Finding synonyms
-Finding related phrases (not the same as synonyms)
-Query expansion (definitely worth a Google search to read up on it)
-Writing "verbose" text with rich vocabulary usage
-Watching logs and/or stats to see how the target audience is searching
-Wash, rinse, repeat

The Ohio Valley Conference picks for top players in Week 11
Darian Stone, QB • So., 6-0, 185 • Clinton, Tenn. • Tennessee Tech
Stone, in just the third start of his career, accounted for 467 yards of total offense (second most in school history) as Tennessee Tech snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 45-44 overtime victory over No. 23 UT Martin. Stone completed 16-of-29 passes for 277 yards and three touchdowns and carried the ball 25 times for 190 yards (7.6 ypc), which established the program record for rushing yards by a quarterback. Stone started the game with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Cody Matthews to put TTU up 7-0 and later found Matthews for another 20-yard score to begin the fourth quarter and pull Tech to within seven points (31-24). With the game tied at 31 later in the fourth quarter, Stone hooked up with Ryan Tilghman for a 79-yard touchdown strike to put his team ahead 38-31.
Others Nominated: Jake Ryan, Austin Peay; Erik Lora, Eastern Illinois; Matt Denham, Eastern Kentucky; DaMarcus James, Jacksonville State; Walter Powell, Murray State; Derek Carr, UT Martin.
Rashad Smith, LB • Jr., 6-1, 210 • Ft. Walton Beach, Fla. • Jacksonville State
Smith had 14 tackles, including a career-best 13 solo stops, in Jacksonville State's 38-23 victory over Austin Peay in the team's home finale. The junior also had a first quarter interception that he returned 19 yards deep into APSU territory. The interception was his first of the season and second of his career. It marks the second time this season Smith has been named OVC Defensive Player of the Week.
Others Nominated: Greg Mahan, Eastern Illinois; Kevin Hamlin, Eastern Kentucky; Blake Peiffer, Southeast Missouri; Demario Donnell, Tennessee Tech; Ben Johnson, UT Martin.
Zach Sharp, K • So., 6-2, 190 • Maryville, Tenn. • Tennessee Tech
Sharp was a perfect 6-of-6 on point after attempts and made a 39-yard field goal in Tennessee Tech's 45-44 overtime victory over UT Martin. Sharp made his field goal attempt with 8:40 to play in the first quarter to put Tech up 10-7. His extra point in overtime proved to be the game-winning margin for the Golden Eagles who snapped a seven-game losing streak with the victory.
Others Nominated: Cameron Berra, Eastern Illinois; Griffin Thomas, Jacksonville State; Steven Mix, Murray State.
Jeremy Butler, WR • Jr., 6-3, 205 • Bradenton, Fla. • UT Martin
Butler, the transfer from College of Sequoias Community College, had 13 catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns in UT Martin's 45-44 overtime loss at Tennessee Tech on Saturday. Butler caught a six-yard touchdown early in the third quarter and a 19-yard touchdown on 4th and 16 in overtime to pull the Skyhawks to within a point (the team would miss the ensuing PAT). Over his last four games Butler has 35 catches for 438 yards and seven touchdowns. It marks the second time this season he has been named OVC Newcomer of the Week.
Others Nominated: Reco Williams, Austin Peay; Jourdan Wickliffe, Eastern Illinois; Hamish MacInnes, Jacksonville State; Jaamal Berry, Murray State; Scott Lathrop, Southeast Missouri; Demario Donnell, Tennessee Tech.

Perinatal asphyxia induces retinal lesions, generating ischemic proliferative retinopathy which may result in blindness. Previously, we showed that the nitrergic system was involved in the physiopathology of perinatal asphyxia. Here we analyze the application of methylene blue, a well-known soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor, as a therapeutic strategy to prevent retinopathy. Male rats (n=28 per group) were treated in different ways: 1) CTL (control) group comprised born to term animals; 2) PA group comprised rats exposed to perinatal asphyxia (20 min., at 37ºC); and 3) MB-PA group comprised animals born from pregnant rats treated with methylene blue (2 mg/kg) 30 and 5 min before delivery and then the pups were subjected to PA as above. mRNA was obtained at different times after asphyxia for molecular studies and tissue was collected at 30 days for morphological and biochemical analysis. Perinatal asphyxia produced significant gliosis, angiogenesis, and thickening of the inner retina. Methylene blue treatment reduced these parameters. Perinatal asphyxia resulted in a significant elevation of the nitrergic system as shown by NOS activity assays, Western blotting and (immuno)histochemistry for nNOS and NADPH-diaphorase activity. All these parameters were also normalized by the treatment. In addition, methylene blue induced the upregulation of the antiangiogenic peptide, PEDF. Application of methylene blue reduced morphological and biochemical parameters of retinopathy. This finding suggests the use of methylene blue as a new treatment to prevent or decrease retinal damage in the context of ischemic proliferative retinopathy.

Mazy Hui (UN BAISER VOLE's Natalie Ng Man-yan, badly miscast), but she is too distraught to offer any leads. Flashbacks reveal her assailant to be Sin Ho-fun (Samuel Leung Cheuk-moon), a homely, put-upon crew member, whom Mazy tried to help via a free discussion session in her office. The paranoid and delusional Sin soon misinterprets one of her comments and, later that day, drugs and rapes the woman, the first in a series of assaults he perpetrates. Once she has recovered, Mazy and Wong join forces in order to apprehend Sin, who has now graduated to murder.

Could corn become the latest in eye protection?
Carrot is the vegetable most often said to be good for the eyes. But corn could also help boost eye health one day, thanks to its natural store of antioxidants and importance as an animal feed.
That's the conclusion of a new study, in which researchers bred corn to contain high amounts of the potent eye-protecting antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin, and then examined whether eggs carried more of these beneficial carotenoids when laying hens were fed the new corn diets.
In a paper published online today (Feb. 6) in Crop Science, the study's leader Elizabeth Lee reports that a high-carotenoid corn diet did in fact yield eggs containing more lutein and zeaxanthin, although the effect was greater when hens were fed a competing source of lutein from marigold petals.
Still, says Lee, a professor at University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario, this proof-of-concept study suggests high-carotenoid corn could offer another means to produce eggs enriched in health-promoting antioxidants. High-lutein eggs, for example, are already available to North American consumers to prevent age-related macular degeneration, a progressive eye disease that is the leading cause of blindness in older adults.
The macula of those suffering from the disease is depleted in lutein and zeaxanthin, which is why doctors often advise patients to eat foods rich in these antioxidants, such as leafy, dark green vegetables. However, it's also known that the human body absorbs more lutein and zeaxanthin from food in the presence of oil. And this makes egg yolks—which owe their characteristic yellow color to carotenoids—an ideal choice for getting more antioxidants into the diet, Lee says.
Hens are typically fed marigold petals from Latin America to generate high-lutein eggs. But because corn is one of the only vegetables (besides leafy greens) that contains large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin, Lee and her collaborators wondered if it could substitute for marigold, especially since corn grain is already widely fed to chickens.
To investigate this potential, Lee's team built on previous efforts to develop and characterize high-lutein and high-zeaxanthin corn varieties. Using conventional breeding techniques, the researchers first crossed plants from the exotic, Argentine Orange Flint race of maize with conventional North American corn. They then selected from among the offspring those plants whose kernels were most orange in color.
After generating these new corn lines—which have higher lutein and zeaxanthin levels than any previously documented—the scientists fed grain from one high-lutein line and one high in zeaxanthin to laying hens. Next, they measured the carotenoid levels in the egg yolks and compared them to the levels in yolks from two control diets: a standard diet of number 2, yellow corn and one supplemented with a lutein extract from marigold petals.
The two high-carotenoid corn diets consistently resulted in egg yolks that were higher in lutein and zeaxanthin than the number 2, yellow corn diet. And while the levels were lower than in eggs from chickens fed marigold extract, the study suggests that boosting the levels further in corn should be relatively straightforward, the scientists say.
More importantly, the findings demonstrate how plants can be bred to produce "functional foods"—foods that offer health benefits beyond ordinary nutrition. Breeding crops for this purpose is a relatively new endeavor for crop scientists, but one that has great "potential for delivering enhanced nutritional properties to improve human health," Lee says.
The study was funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada; the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs; Egg Farmers of Canada; Grain Farmers of Ontario; Canadian Foundation for Innovation; and Ontario Innovative Trust.

My interpretation of affirmative action is that one may count race, gender, religion as the deciding factor, other factors being equal. It does not, and should not, mean using race, etc. to elevate an unqualified person over more qualified people. Scalia is wrong.
They also made the top 10 in Southern Living picks!!
Well said!!
What was the result of the early 80s charge??
Mark Brandenburg did not go visit the victim without Rosa knowledge. Then the email from him to higher-ups put them on notice. Looks like a cover-up to me. Attorneys do what they are asked to do. That's what they are supposed to do. I don't think he is the only culpable person in this fiasco.
By the way, since there is not a "camp" anymore, why will they institute a child protection program and hire a child protection employee??? Is this to protect cadets?? Aren't they or shouldn't they already be protected??

Brrr-liant news: Cold weather helps with weight loss
COLD weather helps us lose weight by turning "bad" fat into "good" fat, a study has shown.
Researchers found that cold weather triggers protein in the body that converts fat
Researchers found exposure to cooler temperatures triggers formation of a newly discovered protein which converts white fat into calorie-burning brown fat.
Brown fat is located around the collarbone, heart, brain, neck and spinal cord and acts as the body's furnace to burn energy and keep us warm.
White fat stores energy and causes weight gain.
The University of California study, published online in the journal Molecular Cell, proved that mice with higher levels of the protein, encouraged by cold weather, gained 30 per cent less weight than mice with lower levels.
Both groups were fed a high-fat diet.
Researcher Jon Dempersmier said: "Brown fat is active, using calories to keep us warm. It'll burn fat, it'll burn glucose.
If we can harness this, we can use it for weight loss and diabetes." As modern man lives in controlled temperatures, brown fat in our bodies has decreased.

The property was very spacious and met our fundamental needs. The decor was very plain. I expected to feel like we were at the beach. I have stayed in hostels that were more homey. The air conditioning was inadequate for the upper floors. There was no a/c unites detonated to the upstairs. Fortunately the outside temperature was mild at night. During the day we stayed on the first floor.
What an amazing home. The pictures really don't do it justice. This home was so spacious and beautiful. All of the details really made a difference. There wasn't a single thing that we needed that wasn't already there.
And the staff....... They met every need we had. Which is truly amazing. I know for a fact that we will be renting here again.
The house was really great. The remodel is nice, the furnishing are ample, the beds are good, it was clean, and it's very close to the beach. Our only issue was with the air conditioner. It works great on the first floor, but as you move up stairs the volume of conditioned air is lacking. We had to drop the thermostat to 69 at night to be somewhat comfortable on the second floor. The third floor never got enough air, it was 80 degrees on the third floor. The dehumidifier and fan on the third helped, but a portable A/C up there would be much better. Thanks.

The heartsick wife of jailed rancher Ammon Bundy says authorities have locked her husband in a cramped, pitch-black cell, in a misguided bid to "break" his spirit and force him to cooperate with their probe into his armed takeover of a wildlife refuge in Oregon last month. "It is a 6x6 cell. No mat to sleep on, just pretty much a board. He's got a small toilet and a small sink to wash his hands and that's pretty much it. There's no sunlight, there's no window," Lisa Bundy said Tuesday in an exclusive interview on Newsmax TV's "Dennis Michael Lynch: Unfiltered." "There's a small tiny [space] they feed the food through. He's supposed to have one hour [outside], but it's been cut. One day he only had 15 minutes … And they're also taking time out of visiting [privileges] with his lawyer. So that's not right." Lisa, a mother of six, said her husband does not deserve solitary confinement. "I think that they are trying to — many have said — break him and the others to the point of where he might not be thinking straight. But it's important to note that he hasn't even been convicted of a crime," she said, adding that a court has so far refused him bail. "We own an orchard … [and] have a lot of work to do here as a family and what he's done, he's done. He educated, which is what his plan was — to get people that study the Constitution, learn their rights, learn of their freedoms, and that's it." Lisa Bundy told Dennis Michael Lynch she and her husband should not be written off as crazy, right-wing radicals. "We're not at all. In fact, we have a family of six children, we love our family, we would prefer to just focus specifically on them," she said. "But we also love our neighbor and when we see these wrong things happening, we have to act, we have to help our neighbor. We're not crazy." Lisa also said she's gratified by a huge showering of support from people across the country...more

Delaware's Plan to Implement Project CORE. Community Outreach, Referral, and Early Intervention to Prevent Psychosis Kevin Huckshorn PhD, MSN, RN, CADC Director: DE Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services NASMHPD Conference July 27-29. CORE Project Goals.

Community Outreach, Referral, and Early Intervention to Prevent Psychosis
Kevin Huckshorn PhD, MSN, RN, CADC
Director: DE Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
NASMHPD Conference
July 27-29
Improve Long-Term Outcomes for 16-25 yr. old Delawareans that are at high risk for psychotic disorders or have experienced a first episode in the last year.
We plan to use a mix of RAISE and PIER models to address these issues, using Federal Dollars to address first episode psychosis in 16-25 yr. olds, as well as, using state General Funds to pay for services targeted to the 12-15 yr. old population that is exhibiting prodromal symptoms.
Increase public awareness of these issues, in young adults, including information saturation on how to refer for care.
4. Establish a network of current providers and stakeholders to help identify, engage and refer high risk youth.
5. Establish personal contacts for all referrals within 48 hours of referral.
6. Deliver evidence-based assessments for all referrals within one week.
7. Provide treatment to those youth that meet criteria for interventions.
8. Evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions and the outcomes of these interventions.
Delaware has partnered with the DE Kids Department to respond to both the 5% BG Set Aside, as well as, the SAMHSA RFA on this same project.
We were not aware for some time of the potential restrictions regarding the target population or the restrictions regarding interventions for youth with "prodromal symptoms." We believe that both youth, with first episodes, and youth with prodromal symptoms should be engaged in care/treatment. As such we have figured out a way to use GF to pay for the younger, latter population and track that work separately.
DE expects to be able to achieve our goals in less than five years. We are small and only have 3 counties in which to implement this work.
Phase One will include the northern most county, New Castle, that holds about half of DE's population.
Phase Two will broaden these efforts to include the two southern counties who, together, have population numbers that match NC but that are much more rural.
In Phase Two, we anticipate starting in the southernmost county and then moving to Kent County with a shared intervention team.
Statewide policy changes in DSAMH and the Kids Dept. including MOU.
Stakeholder organizations entering into performance based agreements with DSAMH and Kids.
Number of youth and families referred,
Number of youth and families engaged,
Treatment retention with a goal of 2 years,
Conversion rates of psychosis in at risk youth,
Formalization of training and intervention documents and curricula,
Number of high risk youth that do not convert to psychosis
We expect to Refer over 692 transitional age youth/families for assessment,
We expect to Assess 198 youth/families for services,
And we expect to Treat 155+ youth/families for engagement into these services.
DE is the perfect statewide microscope to see how these interventions work in a state that is urban, suburban and rural.
The current USDOJ Settlement Agreement also supports this work.
DE is one of only four states in the US that maintain separate mental health systems of care for children and adults. There are advantages and disadvantages to this model. The most troubling is the interruption in care for a youth and their family when they turn 18.
Another issue is the fact that the adult MH system in DE is not prepared to accept young people age 18-25 as the population we serve are mostly older and young people do not find our services age appropriate.
As such, many of these youth disappear at 18, only to resurface, often much more ill, at age 23-25.
The DE Adult and Kids System's hope that this project will draw together these gaps in service and encourage a better partnership going forward and targeting youth age 16-20 to stay in care.
This project will use two Family ACT teams to provide the assessment and interventions required under the RAISE and PIER Program models.
DE DSAMH and Kids plan to spend a great deal of time in training our communities, including parents, on signs and symptoms. We have also partnered with DE NAMI and DE MHA in this proposed work.
Regardless of the bureaucratic challenges the fact remains that the ten years of work done, by RAISE and PIER, have clearly demonstrated some really exciting outcomes. OUTCOMES THAT WE CANNOT IGNORE…
I personally believe that every state needs to get informed on these interventions and implement these strategies ASAP. Even one successful intervention that prevents psychosis is worth an estimated 10 million dollars.
(McFarlane, 2014).

Presentation is everything. No matter your talent level.
Woe to the actor who thinks that just because she is supremely talented, that is enough to get her the job. Talk to enough casting directors and they will tell you much of the role is based on "look". From the way you walk in the door to the actual shoes on your feet. The way you speak to the room monitor to the way you give instructions to your accompanist. The way your resume is laid out to your headshot. All of that matters just as much.
Why is that surprising to anyone? We say it about food. "Presentation is everything". We say it about houses. "Curb Appeal".
Apply this idea to a theater: If your theatre has an entry way that is boring. Or that has worn carpet in the lobby. Or if your receptionist sounds annoyed. If the box office folks aren't friendly. If your curtain speech is dull and unimaginative. If your actors hide in their rooms or aren't friendly with folks after the show. Your "presentation" suffers.
It's not just the "show" that matters.
And what is our first line of "presentation"? Our marketing. That is often the first thing folks see concerning our theaters. If it's an email out of the blue from a company you didn't ask to hear from, sometimes, that is annoying. In today's social media world, it's actually spam if I didn't ask to be on that list.
It would be lovely to say it's the "ART that matters" and have that be effective. But it's probably not going to be anymore.
Seth Godin says: "The packaging, the service, the environment, the hours, the interactions, the way it feels to tell our friends--these are all the free prize." "Free prizes inside" still sell if they are marketed correctly.
Then when you have enticed your "tribe" and made them feel as if they have actually been a part of the "making of", you have a very loyal group of folks that are your best advertising. Check out a little show called "American Idol" if you don't believe that.
Go ahead. Spend a ton of money and time on mass marketing. Doing the same old things we have done for years. Send out your flyers and mass emails. But it's those positive one-to one interactions that will build your company. Yes, it requires a bit of thought. Yes you have to have some face to face meetings. A lot actually. And you must always be on your best behavior. It can make you a bit of a control freak if you aren't already one.
But if you can steer the way with a few tribe members who are also on the same wavelength, they will introduce you to more on that wavelength and you will continue to attract exactly the right folks to your organization.
In your Presentation: Those interactions must have a very personal edge combined with a "prize inside" and an "enrolling" aspect. If you can commit to this idea you actually will be way ahead of the curve.
