Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning said during the week that Willis McGahee's injury is a great opportunity for Knowshon Moreno. It turns out that Moreno will get his first opportunity on Denver's first snap.
The Broncos have confirmed that Moreno is the starter for today's game at Kansas City.
That comes as something of a surprise, because Moreno has been the Broncos' fourth option for most of the season, behind not only McGahee but also Ronnie Hillman and Lance Ball. Moreno has just eight carries for 15 yards this season.
But Moreno is the guy the Broncos are showing their faith in as the starter, at least for this week. If he doesn't make the most of this opportunity down the stretch with the Broncos, it may be the last opportunity in Denver for the running back the Broncos took with the 12th overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft.

Wes Raffel and Atv: Easy to Pitch, Fast to Come to an Offer
Fund: Advanced Technology Ventures
Posted by OtherPeoplesMoney on 2008-01-07
We pitched ATV upon a recommendation from an existing investor in our firm. Wes and the team were very responsive, they moved quickly and they were very straightforward with us. Their due diligence was very complete, yet quick. They made us a great offer, and were open to negotiating. In the end, we went with another firm, but I was very impressed with Wes and the team, and would gladly do a deal with them in the future.
Wes can add a lot of value to companies in the sales and marketing side of things.PRIVATE: Members Only (167 Characters)

The real star of the Alabama-Notre Dame BCS National Championship game tonight wasn't quarterback A.J. McCarron. It was his 23-year-old, pageant-winning girlfriend, Katherine Webb.
Webb was formerly Miss Alabama. Up until last week, she only had a few hundred Twitter followers. But tonight ESPN found her in the stands at Sun Life Stadium.
She was only on TV for a few minutes, but the announcers went wild. They called Webb a "beautiful woman" and recommended boys in Alabama start "playing catch in the backyard" to win a woman like Webb.
After that, Twitter followers poured in. While her boyfriend was playing on the field, she surpassed him in fans. Even LeBron James started following her account, @_KatherineWebb. Now, she has more than 92,000 followers and counting.
Who is Webb? Here are a few fun facts about Miss Alabama 2012:
- She first tried for Miss Georgia in 2007 and lost.
- She graduated from Alabama's rival, Auburn, in 2011
- Webb currently works for Chick-fil-A, but she also models.
- She enjoys playing paintball.
Here's the shot that made the Twitterverse explode, via Bleacher Report.

Kisumu - Lake Victoria
Kiboko Bay Resort is located on the shores of Lake Victoria close to the little fishing village of Dunga, which is 5km from Kisumu. Dunga is one of the best places in Kenya to see the traditional ssese canoes being made. These are used to operate the local passenger service on the lake, also for fishing. Painted in bright colours, often depicting a favourite football team, the boats are 8 long and narrow and have a large outboard motor. They are known locally as yie , while those with sails are known as yie nange .
This friendly resort offers gorgeous views of the lake, excellent bird-watching, hippo spotting, sandy beaches, and numerous walks and boat rides.
Location and climate Kisumu is 350 kilometres north of Nairobi on the shores of Lake Victoria. By road: Kisumu is 350 km from Nairobi, 53 km from Kakamega, 83 km from Kericho, 121 km from Kisii and 142 km from Homa Bay. By air: the trip by air to Nairobi takes around one hour and there are regular flights operated by Kenya Airways. By water: Kisumu is linked by ferry with Kendu Bay, Homa Bay and Mbita (as well as to neighbouring countries). Climate: hot and humid all year round.
The Background Western Kenya, land of diversity Western Kenya has it all. To the far west lie the mighty inland waters of Lake Victoria, the world's second largest freshwater lake after Canada's Lake Superior, and the regional capital of Kisumu.
Kisumu is Kenya's third largest town and provides a natural base for touring the region. Local attractions include: Kisumu Museum (open 8.30am-6.00pm daily), The Kisumu Impala Sanctuary (open 6.00am -7.00pm daily) and Ndere Island National Park (accessible by boat, open 6.00am - 7.00pm daily).
South-west of Kisumu, lying in the waters of Lake Victoria, are the islands of Rusinga (where Mary Leakey discovered the skull of Proconsul Africanus, a primitive anthropoid ape that lived on Rusinga three million years ago) and Mfangano (a centre of pre-history famous for its rock art).
A short distance to the north of Kisumu is the famous Kakamega Forest Reserve , a unique patch of lowland rainforest renowned for its abundant wildlife.
And travelling further north, but still within easy reach, are the contrasting wildernesses of the vast and rugged Mount Elgon National Park on the Ugandan border, famous for its bat-filled caves and salt-mining elephants, and Kenya's smallest National Park, Saiwa Swamp , the sanctuary of the semi-aquatic sitatunga antelope.
Lake Victoria Few inland waters measure up to Lake Victoria, which has a surface area of 68,800 sq km, of which Kenya claims only 3,785 sq km. The lake is also bordered by Uganda and Tanzania. Unlike the lakes further west, Lake Victoria is not part of the Rift Valley system and is wide and shallow, being only 80 meters deep. The world's second largest freshwater lake (after Canada's Lake Superior), Lake Victoria is fed mainly by rainwater and drains more than 6,450 km to the north, via the Nile, to the Mediterranean Sea. First settled by the Luo peoples some five centuries ago, Lake Victoria was 'discovered' as a potential source of the Nile by the English explorer John Hanning Speke in 1858.
Accommodation Accommodation is presented in traditionally built Luo rondavels (circular cottages). Each ensuite room is attractively furnished and enjoys magnificent views of the lake.
Dining and bars The camp offers a central dining room, lounge, gift shop and bar.
Child-friendly The camp welcomes children.
What to see and do Fishing - by boat for Nile perch or by rod for tilapia (all boats are fully equipped). Nature walks with resident guide. Bird watching walks or boat rides.

Slayer Graffiti Initially Investigated as Hate Crime on Long Island, New York
Who? What? Where? When? How? In a report from the Patch, metal hooligans in Commack, New York, vandalized a building in Wicks Park by painting the Slayer logo and a pentagram alongside it (see a photo of the graffiti here). Local police initially investigated the vandalism to be associated with a hate crime after a resident had placed a call to the authorities.
Shortly after opening the investigation, the police came to realize that the graffiti was nothing more than an iconic thrash band's logo and a pentagram, which is a fixture in one of the band's various logo designs. Wicks Park is home to the Commack South Little League, and perhaps the police considered it a crime to hate baseball. Maybe they just suspected that God Hates Us All? The world may never know.
This is not the first time Slayer have been linked with intolerance. The band stirred things up with the song 'Angel of Death' which saw some people condemning the band as antisemitic. The eagle that sits atop or often behind the band logo also draws parallels to Nazi symbolism. Slayer have continuously denied these accusations, claiming that the topics and imagery work within the dark focus of the band.

I installed jazz-plugin because i hoped it would solve the problem that I described here:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/question ... audio-midi
Unfortunately, it does not. This plugin registers for the mime-type audio/x-jazz. But midi files don't come with this mime-type. They come as audio/midi.
If that plugin doesn't work with the mime-type audio/midi then it is useless for me. I don't want to provide midi-files on a website that I created. I want that my browser plays any midifile that is embedded in any html-document like on this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonality
I don't understand why there is not a single one plugin that enables the posibility to play midi files from a website. What is the problem with providing such a plugin?
This is what browsers do on my iMac (OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.3) when I view a website that contains a link to a midi file and when I click on this link:
Safari (version 8.0.6)
Displays a black page with an error message in its center saying "missing plugin". When I click on this message, I get another message that tells me that there is no plugin for audio/midi.
Chrome (version 43.0)
Immediately downloads the midi file into my download directory without previously asking me for any other options.
Firefox (version 38.0.1)
Opens a modal windows where i can choose between this options:
- Open with another program (in my case Sibelius, which is a scorewriter that can import midi files, but is not a real midi player)
- Download the file into my download directory
Opera (version 29.0)
Immediately downloads the midi file into my download directory without previously asking me for any other options.
So non of the big browsers that are available for OS X is able to play music when you click on the link to a midi file.
Please provide a plug-in for the mime type audio/midi !
wrong Mime-type
Low level MIDI support via Javascript

Soon you will be able to build a forest then later a fortress and longer a nation, and even longer at last your own world! but again all of these starts just with a single surviving sky block.

Sweet Transvestite from The Rocky Horror Picture Show is featured in The Rocky Horror Glee Show, the fifth episode of Season Two. It is sung by Mercedes with New Directions singing back up vocals.
It was originally planned for Carl to sing the song, but it was thought to be inappropriate, so the song was given to Mercedes.
How d' you do
I see you've met my faithful handyman
He's just a little brought down
Cause when you knocked
He thought you were the candy-man
Don't get strung out by the way I look
Don't judge a book by its cover
I'm not much of a girl by the light of day
But by night I'm one hell of a lover
I'm just a Sweet Transvestite
From Sensational, Transylvania
Let me show you around
Maybe play you a sound
You look like you're both pretty groovy
Or if you want something visual
That's not too abysmal
We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie
Well you got caught with a flat
Well how about that?
Well, babies, don't you panic
By the light of the night
It all seems alright
I'll get you a satanic mechanic
I'm just a Sweet Transvestite
From Sensational, Transylvania
Why don't you stay for the night? (Santana: Night!)
Or maybe a bite? (Brittany: Bite!)
I could show you my favourite obsession
I've been making a man
With blond hair and a tan
And he's good for relieving my tension
Mercedes (New Directions):
I'm just a Sweet Transvestite (Sweet Transvestite)
From Sensational, (with New Directions: Transylvania)
Hey, hey
I'm just a Sweet Transvestite (Sweet, sweet Transvestite)
From Sensational, (with New Directions: Transylvania)
So, come up to the lab
And see what's on the slab
I see you shiver with antici-(Emma and Will in the episode version: pation)
But maybe the rain
Isn't really to blame
So I'll remove the cause
But not the symptom
- The Rocky Horror Show's creator, Richard O' Brien, was disappointed at the show for having changed the word "transsexual" to "sensational", claiming that the show decided to "dilute down" the themes of the musical. Source
- Since it has slight explicit content in the original, this version has been changed to 'Sweet transvestite from sensational', Transylvania,' from 'Sweet transvestite from transsexual, Transylvania'. While the altered lyrics have no effect on the plot of the episode, in the film these lines later become crucial. They also cut out a verse sung by Brad and Janet.
- During the first take Amber got stuck in the elevator for 20 minutes as it suddenly broke down.
- The song was originally meant to be sung by Carl, but the producers felt like the song was too "inappropriate" for John Stamos to be in drag, thus changed it.

The day has finally come.
The day has finally come.
At long last the Angelloz clan has made its way to Disney World barring any unforeseen mishaps preventing us from reaching our magical destination.
Funny enough, as you are reading this, we began Day 1 of our one-week odyssey back on April 14 that featured breakfasts with Disney characters and rides aplenty.
Getting to this moment didn't come easy. Like most families, we struggled mightily to pay for this high-priced vacation.
Since this has been penned prior to our vacation, I'm sitting here thinking about what might have already happened along the way.
We gave Disney our best shot.
The reason I say this is because we left on a Saturday morning and drove all day to stay at a hotel about two miles from the park itself. The following morning was the first day we actually started to experience everything Disney had to offer.
The venture east and south into central Florida was full of bathroom breaks and a little whining from the kids as they asked us repeatedly, "Mommy and Daddy, are we there yet?"
You may be asking, "Have we ever brought our children this long a distance?"
Actually, we have.
Three years ago we packed up the family truck and headed to Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Believe it or not, that trip went off without a hitch, and the kids were excellent on the drive there.
To show how much things change in a short period of time, we now have a few items we didn't have in our possession for that trip.
One of the main ones is a GPS.
That's right, gone are the days of dear ole' Dad mapping out the route and printing up directions for his wife to read out to him as he drives.
In its place is an amazing little device that does all the work for you with a few presses of some buttons.
Another addition is our iPhones.
In 2009, we had cellphones but hadn't ventured into the world of iPhones, which can pretty much do every and anything you could possibly imagine.
These items aided us greatly on our trek to the most magical of places: Disney World.
To give some background on the gravity of this trip, I haven't gone to Disney since I was 5, and my wife's last visit was in 1998.
It was hard to know who was happier about the trip. Was it the kids, the parents or my wife's parents, who we invited to come experience this magical place with us.
My guess was we were all equally excited in our own special ways about the most memorable of trips.
Not knowing much, we were leaning on my wife to point us in the right direction.
Thanks to the many tips that have been imparted on us by friends and acquaintances, we felt pretty prepared to make this vacation count.
While our accommodations were nice, there's no doubt this was a "working" vacation.
No, I don't mean work in the strictest sense of the word.
It was work because we planned on hitting the parks non-stop while we were there.
If we hadn't landed back in our room each evening exhausted we didn't do our job as far as I was concerned.
Given the ages of my kids and in-laws, I wanted to make this vacation count.
I wanted to see smiling faces and laughter in great abundance as we spent quality moments together as a family in a place where wishes really do come true.
Now, the realist in me foresaw a few aggravating occurrences with impatient children and adults, but it is pretty hard to complain about things when you are blessed enough to go on a vacation, let alone one to Disney.
As I've stated in several of my recent columns, I've become a lot more introspective and aware of joyous moments spent with my family.
I've made an effort not to allow them to pass me by because you simply don't know what the next day will bring.
Having said this, here's to a great vacation and boundless memories that will last us a lifetime.
Oh, never fear, I plan on giving a complete play-by-play of our trip when my column runs later.

Dear Sir,
I am a 25 yo guy and have been dating my boyfriend for two months. He is positive and I am negative. He is 42 yo and has been positive for 12 years and is in good health. Recently our sex lives elevated to anal sex. I readily admit that I am not as informed on HIV as I should be, but I have always heard that protection should be used during anal sex. My BF insists that if I, as the negative one, am the top then there is low risk of infection for me. He says hes been through all the classes and such and I should trust him. He has been honest about his status from the get go, but I wonder if I should trust him in this instance. Am I less at risk since I am the top in the relationship?
"Less at risk" is true, but "not at risk" is not true! The insertive partner is always at less risk than the receptive partner in all types of sex. However, being "top gun" doesn't mean you would not be at significant risk of becoming HIV infected if you choose to go commando. It's a risk I strongly advise you do not take! The consequences could be catastrophic and are so easily preventable. I suggest both you and your not-so-well-informed boyfriend read through the information in the archives on magnetic couples and also the questions reposted below.
Get informed. Stay safe to stay well.

Risk of unprotected anal intercourse for top Jan 20, 2007
I just want to say what a great site this is and how wonderful you all are. i am hiv positive and recently began seeing a man who is negative. he wants to have unprotected anal intercourse with me and says that he believes that he is safe since he is the "top". He says he thinks the risk would only be in the reverse situation for the "bottom". is this true? i have looked and looked for an answer about this but they seem to lump all anal intercourse together with no difference in risk mentioned between being the recipient or the giver. i hope this question is not too blunt for your forum. but i really would like to know what your thoughts are. thanks again very much.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Too blunt for this forum? No way! No how! In fact, this question comes up so frequently it qualifies as a QTND (question that never dies). See below.

Im a poz bttm and partner is a neg (POSITIVE BOTTOM AND NEGATIVE TOP RISK) Oct 21, 2006
Im a poz bttm homosexual male (Taker only) and partner is a neg top (Giver only), since the anas has no bodily fluids, what are the real risks of unprotected sex for him??? Reason i ask is we want to be close to one another without that barrier since we have been together a while. Also, Ive been told since im undetectable that his risk of contracting hiv is almost impossible with unprotected sex... Please give me a real answer on this and not just a typical medical answer...
Response from Dr. Frascino
This question comes up frequently and I've addressed it numerous times before. Check the archives! In this case, as in many others, the "real answer" and the "medical answer" are one and the same. See below.

Risky BTTM GUY Oct 12, 2006
Ok, hello how are you? I'm concern on something I'm a hiv+ male who is having unprotected sex with my neg top partnerfor 6months now and he was tested two months ago and was neg, but I wanted to know was since he is a top and I am a bttm is the odds of him contracting hiv from me, would be just as high? Could you give me your feed back on that please
Response from Dr. Frascino
Sure. However, since I've discussed this multiple times in the past (check the archives!), I'll be brief, OK?
The estimated per-act risk for acquiring HIV from unprotected insertive anal intercourse with a positive partner is 6.5 per 10,000 exposures.
Now, I have a question for you. Why are you putting your partner at risk for HIV and yourself at risk for STDs and potentially an HIV superinfection by having commando nookie???
I suggest you spend some time perusing the information in the archives related to magnetic couples, HIV transmission, STDs, and safer sexual practices, OK?
I also strongly advise you stock up on latex condoms and water-based lube and to stop playing sexual Russian roulette.

undetectable VL. Risks of unprotected sex with neg partner. May 15, 2006
I have been poz for 3 yrs and on meds the whole time. I have an undetectable viral load and high CD-4's. I never miss a dose of my meds. I am with a neg partner. He likes to have unprotected anal sex (insertive and receptive) with me without ejaculation into him on my part. We know there is some risk involved with this but are comfortable with it. I know there are small amounts of HIV in my semen even with an undetectable VL in my bloodstream. Are there any hard statistics on transmission risks in this situation, with undetectable viral load and no ejaculation into the neg partner? Is there really enough HIV in my pre-ejaculate/semen to put him at a great risk for infection, or can we be reasonably sure that there is an acceptable low risk of infection?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Your facts are correct:
There is risk involved in magnetic couples having unprotected anal sex, even with an undetectable viral load.
Yes, your semen may have a different viral load (VL) than the VL measured in your blood.
Now to your questions:
- No, there are no hard statistics on your particular situation, because there are too many variables to control for. Also, because we know this type of exposure does carry some degree of risk, it would be unethical to conduct a clinical trial to determine exactly how risky. We can say the risk is real.
- Can you be reasonably sure there is an acceptable low risk of infection? Although ultimately that would depend on how you define "acceptable low risk," the general answer to your question is no.
Your basic premise that an undetectable plasma viral load decreases the risk of HIV transmission is true. In addition, pulling out before ejaculating also decreased the overall risk of transmission. The important question, however, is that taking these "harm reduction" measures into account, is unprotected anal sex safe enough? Based on our current knowledge, the answer would have to be no.
If despite this information, you and your partner remain comfortable with the risks associated with unprotected anal sex, I would suggest you consider enrolling in a PrEP study. These are clinical trials designed to investigate where pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is effective in reducing the risk of HIV transmission. You can read about these clinical trials in the archives. They involve the negative partner taking Truvada (Viread plus Emtriva) on a chronic basis. I must emphasize we do not know if this is an effective strategy or not. However, it may afford your negative partner some degree of protection.
Good luck.
Dr. Bob
Hiv risk for a top? Jun 22, 2005
My boyfriend is negative, and I'm positive. He's mostly a top, and I'm mostly a bottom.
He says he is comfortable having unprotected anal sex only when he is the top, but I am not sure I am comfortable with it. He says that there is little or no risk to him if he's the top. I love him and I am scared of infecting him.
I plan on talking to my doctor about this... but I want to get as much information as possible. How risky is unprotected anal sex, if he is the top?
I have been poz for 3 years, I am also on meds and undectable, and otherwise very healthy.
Response from Dr. Frascino
I don't know whether to label this a QTND (Question That Never Dies) or a MTCKY (Myth That Could Kill You). Either way, I've addressed this "dangerous liaison" multiple times in this forum over the years. But there is an old proverb that says "repetition is the mother of learning," so the message bears repeating. There is a significant risk a negative top could contract HIV by having unprotected anal (or vaginal) sex with a positive bottom. The estimated per-act risk for acquiring HIV form unprotected insertive anal sex with an infected partner is 6.5 per 10,000 exposures. I'm confident your HIV specialist will corroborate this risk. It is true that having an undetectable viral load may decrease the risk somewhat, but not to the "little or no risk" category your boyfriend claims to be comfortable with. Your fears are justified; his nonchalance is not.
Stay well. Good luck to you both.
Dr. Bob

New Faculty Orientation Includes Present Indiana Projectby Howard W. Hewitt • August 9, 2005 Share:
New faculty orientation took a bit of a social turn Tuesday evening with a scheduled cookout and a first look at the Present Indiana research projects prepared by Wabash students.
Wabash will welcome 12 new instructors when classes begins August 25, although most new faculty members are on campus now going through orientation. Five students who participated in summer internships for the Present Indiana Project made after-dinner presentations as the guests moved from room to room in Detchon Hall.
Present Indiana, funded by Lilly Endowment Inc., aims to introduce students, faculty and staff to historical and cultural aspects of the Hoosier state which will encourage them to make Indiana their home.
The five projects presented were Milan basketball, New Harmony attempt at utopia, Indianapolis Comedy Clubs, Montgomery County Natural Heritage and Hoosier Inventors. (See attached Photo Album.)
"I thought it was very well done," said Yvonne Pitts, Instructor of History. "I thought the students approached it very thoughtfully and I think they were very conscious of their audience.
"I'm really impressed with the level of research and perspective and hard work they've put into it. It makes me more excited about being here in Indiana."
For Dean Raymond Williams and Registrar Julie Olsen it was a lighter break to their busy week of leading the newcomers through the orientation schedule.
"The first thing we want to establish is the ethos of the institution which I think is different from many other institutions," Dean Williams said. "This is to help the new faculty get a running start on understanding that ethos. Part of that is Wabash's nature as a liberal arts college, the size and close relationships that faculty and students have and the expectations that our students have of faculty. That is probably different from many other institutions.
"There is another level, of course, and that's the plain practical information that any new person at a new institution needs to know – who are the people to go to get information or to get what they need to have: computer assistance, library assistance, help with registration of classes, expectations with regard to grading, submitting materials about students and all those kinds of details."
Pitts put the whirlwind schedule into perspective. "It's simply getting to know the students, getting to know the campus and surviving."
The Present Indiana students were making their first presentations following the eight-week internships. Five additional students will return to campus next week and join these five for presentations to international students who begin arriving Aug. 15.
"The repetition was probably the most difficult part," said Tom Elliott '08, who presented his research on Indiana comedy and Indianapolis-area comedy clubs. "I found I wasn't giving the same presentation every time because the audience was different every time.
"I don't think it was what I expected for the first time. The professors were a lot more interested than I thought they would be after two days of orientation. I think this was a lot more enjoyable time for everyone than I thought it might be."
Hewitt is Wabash College's Director of New Media/Web Content Editor

Patriots release WR Brandon Lloyd
What we reported last month was highly likely — receiver Brandon Lloyd being released so the Patriots didn't have to pay his $3 million option bonus — happened Saturday afternoon before the deadline, a league source said.
The Patriots specifically built this protection into the contract because Lloyd had the reputation for being hard to handle in his many previous stops. The Patriots were his sixth team in nine years.
The move will clear $4.9 million off the Patriots' cap, but there is $2 million in dead money. It could be split over two years if he is designated as a post-June 1 cut.
Lloyd was productive for the Patriots last season with 74 catches for 911 yards, but he was very inconsistent on the field as far as staying on his feet, fighting for the ball and having consistency with quarterback Tom Brady.
Lloyd was also a handful with in the locker room and on the practice field with his inconsistent personality, as we explained last month. He was not a favorite among his teammates.
Still, out of desperation at the position, Lloyd could still be back at a cheaper price if there's no market for him. The Patriots like to cover their bases, especially heading into the draft. Whether Lloyd makes the team is another story.

Armoured vehicle, armoured also spelled armored, military vehicle that is fitted with partial or complete armour plating for protection against bullets, shell fragments, and other projectiles. Armoured vehicles for military use can move either on wheels or on continuous tracks. The tank is the principal fighting armoured vehicle. Other types armed with large-calibre main guns include tank destroyers and assault guns. This article traces the development of armoured personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, and other armoured vehicles designed primarily as platforms for assault troops.
Armoured personnel carriers
Armoured personnel carriers (APCs) are tracked armoured vehicles that are used for transporting infantry into battle. APCs first appeared in large numbers early in World War II, when the German army adopted them to carry the infantry contingents of their panzer and panzer grenadier divisions into battle. After World War II, improvements to APCs made them even more capable of accompanying tanks into battle.
Half-tracked carriers
Though a few experimental armoured carriers were built in Britain at the end of World War I, development did not really flourish until the Germans adopted them to carry infantry in their panzer divisions at the beginning of World War II. Germany's example was quickly followed by the United States, which by the end of the war had produced some 41,000 carriers. Both the German and U.S. carriers of World War II were of the half-tracked type, which combined two standard wheels on the front axle with a rear propulsion system based on caterpillar tracks. In the German army the most effective vehicles were in the SdKfz (Sonderkraftfahrzeug, or "Special Motor Vehicle") series. The SdKfz 251, built with armour 6 to 14.5 mm thick and armed with two mounted machine guns, could carry 10 men into battle. The American equivalent was the Carrier, Personnel, Half-Track M3. These vehicles provided only minimal protection. Nevertheless, they represented a major advance over the earlier method of transporting infantry into battle in unarmoured trucks. Moreover, German panzer grenadiers used them effectively as combat vehicles and fought from them on the move, thus greatly increasing the mobility of infantry on the battlefield.
Fully tracked carriers
In the postwar era the U.S. Army led the development of fully tracked infantry carriers with all-around armour protection. The first postwar carrier was the large M44, which had a crew of 2 and could carry 25 soldiers. This was followed in 1952 by the M75, which had a similar box body but carried only 12 soldiers. The U.S. Army used a few M75s successfully during the Korean War.
In 1955 the M75 began to be replaced by the M59, which was similar in appearance but was less expensive and could swim across calm inland waters. In 1960 the U.S. Army fielded the M113, which had a lower silhouette and was considerably lighter. The M113 was the first aluminum-armoured vehicle to be put into large-scale production. After its appearance, several other armoured carriers, light tanks, and self-propelled guns were built with aluminum armour. Within 30 years the United States had produced more than 76,000 M113 APCs and their derivatives, making them the most numerous armoured vehicles outside the Soviet bloc. M113 carriers were used extensively in the Vietnam War, often as combat vehicles, although they were not designed for that role and were at a disadvantage in spite of the addition of roof-mounted machine guns with protective shields. Although they have been superseded as infantry carriers by newer models, M113s continue to be used in a variety of roles—for example, for medical evacuation and as mortar carriers.
The British equivalent of the M113 was the FV430 series of tracked vehicles, introduced to the British Army in the 1960s. The FV430 vehicles were made in many versions, including mobile command posts and ambulances. The APC version, the FV432, had a crew of two and could transport eight fully armed soldiers. It was generally armed with a 7.62-mm machine gun mounted on the roof. During Britain's combat involvement in the Iraq War (2003–09), a certain number of FV430s were upgraded to a Mark 3, or "Bulldog," configuration, fitted with metal cages and with reactive armour that exploded outward to provide better protection against improvised explosive devices and rocket-propelled grenades.
Infantry fighting vehicles
The French AMX-VCI of 1958 represented the first attempt to produce a true infantry fighting vehicle (IFV)—that is, a tracked armoured carrier from which infantry could fight effectively. A further step in this direction was taken by the West German army with the HS-30, which included a turret with a 20-mm cannon. The West German Marder and the Soviet BMP-1, which first appeared in the late 1960s, represented the most significant advances in IFVs since World War II. Both vehicles enabled mounted infantry effectively to engage even armoured opponents—a capability lacking in previous designs. The Marder weighs 29.2 tons, has a three-man crew, can carry seven infantrymen, and is armed with a turret-mounted 20-mm autocannon. The BMP-1 weighs 13.5 tons, has a three-man crew, can carry eight infantrymen, and is armed with a turret-mounted 73-mm gun. A later version, the BMP-2, introduced in the early 1980s, is armed with a high-velocity 30-mm cannon; both versions carry externally mounted antitank guided missiles. The BMP-3, in service with the Russian army since the late 1980s and also sold for export, has a 100-mm combined gun and missile launcher and can carry a squad of seven infantrymen.
In the 1980s the U.S. Army introduced the M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle. The Bradley weighs 27.6 tons, has a three-man crew, can carry six infantrymen, and is armed with a turret-mounted 25-mm cannon and an antitank missile launcher. The most modern version, the M2A3, includes infrared sights, a laser range finder, and bolt-on reactive armour tiles. Its British equivalent is the Warrior Mechanized Combat Vehicle, introduced in 1986. The Warrior weighs 24.5 tons, has a three-man crew, can carry seven infantrymen, and is armed with a turret-mounted 30-mm cannon.
Wheeled armoured vehicles
Many countries have also developed wheeled armoured carriers to serve in a variety of roles, including infantry transport, reconnaissance, antitank defense, fire support, engineering, command and control, and medical evacuation. Wheeled vehicles generally have advantages over tracked vehicles in improved on-road performance, better fuel economy, and lower maintenance costs. They are therefore particularly useful in the type of peacekeeping and counterinsurgency operations that have grown more prevalent since the end of the Cold War.
The Soviet army introduced the first of a successful line of wheeled armoured vehicles, the BTR-60, in the early 1960s. In a typical configuration the BTR-60 weighs 10.1 tons, has a two-man crew, can carry 12 infantrymen, and is armed with a 12.7-mm heavy machine gun. The Soviets introduced improved versions in the late 1970s (BTR-70) and late 1980s (BTR-80). These latter versions included a turret-mounted 14.5-mm heavy machine gun and improved power plants, but troop capacity was reduced in order to accommodate these improvements. The Soviets used the BTR vehicles extensively in the Afghan War from 1979 to 1989.
Beginning in 1983, the U.S. Marine Corps fielded the LAV-25, a wheeled light armoured vehicle with all-terrain capabilities. The LAV-25 weighs 12.8 tons, has a three-man crew, can carry six infantrymen, and is armed with a turret-mounted 25-mm chain gun and two 7.62-mm machine guns.
For roughly two decades the LAV-25 was the only significant U.S. wheeled armoured vehicle program, but in the late 1990s the desire for more rapidly deployable forces convinced the U.S. Army to develop a wheeled armoured vehicle capable of transport by aircraft such as the C130 Hercules. To speed the development process, the Army stressed the use of off-the-shelf technology. The result was the Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV), first fielded in 2003. The Stryker is largely modeled after the Canadian LAV III, which began service with the Canadian Army in 1999 and in turn is based on the Swiss Piranha III. The Stryker weighs 18 tons, has a two-man crew, can carry nine infantrymen, and in its primary variant is armed with an M2 .50-inch heavy machine gun or a 40-mm automatic grenade launcher housed in a remotely operated turret. The U.S. Army has equipped more than a half dozen of its combat brigades with Stryker ICVs, which have seen service in both the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan quickly demonstrated the vulnerability of lightly armoured vehicles to mines, rocket-propelled grenades, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The U.S. Army responded at first with improvisations, such as adding metal caging around the exterior of Stryker vehicles to cause incoming warheads to detonate prematurely, and by adding armour to its fleet of High Mobility, Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs, or Humvees). These adjustments failed to protect against the most lethal IEDs, especially those buried in roadways that attack the underside of a vehicle. To combat these threats, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps fielded thousands of Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected (MRAP) wheeled armoured vehicles. MRAPs are designed with a V-shaped hull to deflect explosions upward and away from the troop compartment. They proved to be twice as effective in safeguarding passengers as M1 Abrams tanks and more than three times as effective as the armoured Humvees. There are a number of variants of the MRAP, including an urban operations vehicle that carries seven soldiers, a troop carrier that can transport 11 soldiers, and other models designed to clear mines and explosives. In general, MRAPs are designed not as combat vehicles but rather as troop carriers.
The weight of MRAPs (with models ranging from 9 to 25 tons) and their top-heavy weight distribution make the vehicles prone to rollovers and less than ideal for off-road use. To improve cross-country performance for environments such as Afghanistan, in 2009 the United States designed and began to field lighter (12-ton) MRAP all-terrain vehicles, or M-ATVs. M-ATVs can carry four soldiers plus a gunner who can man a top-mounted machine gun or grenade launcher.
As the changing battlefield creates new and more lethal threats, the configuration of armoured vehicles will continue to be adjusted accordingly.

Author Notes: My favorite way to use chia seeds is to make a raw foods breakfast pudding. This is a fast and healthy breakfast treat, or it can be a snack or healthy dessert, too. Though I've chosen to make the nut milk used in this recipe with pecans and dates, you can use any homemade nut or seed milk in this recipe. - WinnieAb —WinnieAb
Food52 Review: This is one of those gems that once you discover them, you never let them go. As easy as pouring a bowl of cereal, but far more healthful and delicious than anything that comes in a box, this breakfast pudding is going into my regular rotation. The terrific addition of chia seeds, which are inordinately good for you (who knew?) and magically gelatinize before your very eyes, give the milk a thicker, more pudding or porridge-like consistency. Making your own nut (or seed) milk is ridiculously easy, and the possibilities are endless. Dates and pecans are a lovely pair – sweet, with nutty hints of vanilla, and adding a touch of cinnamon provides some warmth. However, I am already thinking about dried figs and walnuts, almonds and apricots, or sunflower seeds and cranberries. One last note: this pudding is delicious cold, but equally good warmed, as my five-year-old daughter preferred. - gingerroot —gingerroot
Serves: 1
1/3 cup pecans, soaked overnight in water to cover
2-3 pitted dates, preferably soaked in water overnight to rehydrate
3/4 cup filtered water
2 tablespoons chia seeds
tiny pinch of cinnamon
tiny pinch of sea salt
fresh or dried berries for garnish- optional
- Pour soaking water off the pecans, and then blend them with the dates and 3/4 cup water in a blender. I prefer that some pecan and date chunks remain so I just blend mine briefly, but if you prefer a smoother "milk", process until the consistency you like is reached.
- Place chia seeds into a bowl and pour the liquid over them. Add cinnamon and salt and stir to combine. You can eat this right away, but it is better to allow the pudding to sit for at least 5 minutes while the chia seeds soak up the liquid. You can let them sit even longer if you like- they will keep swelling and become fairly gelatinous if you do, and you may find you'll want to add more water. Top with fresh or dried berries before serving, if desired.

Nicole Scherzinger was suffering in silence during her seven years as the Pussycat Dolls' lead singer.
In her VH1 Behind the Music special (airing October 7), the 34-year-old singer opens up for the first time about her struggle with bulimia.
"It's embarrassing. I never spoke about it. Like I said, I never want to play a victim, and I never wanted my family to hear about things from me because I think it would break their heart, you know," Scherzinger says. "I guess it was like my addiction, right? I never did drugs, but kinda doing things to myself was my addiction. It's like when I got off stage, I was on this high, and I'd come back to my room and I'd be alone, so I would just do things. My bulimia was my addiction; hurting myself was my addiction."
Scherzinger — who released her debut solo album, Killer Love, in 2011 — says she "did it everyday for, like, years. Every time I had a second to be alone, I was doing something to myself. You get, like, blisters on your hands or scars on your hands, and I'd try to hide those. I think the girls could tell."
The Hawaiian-born, Kentucky-raised musician joined the Pussycat Dolls in 2003 following the success of the burlesque troupe of the same name.
During her revealing chat, Scherzinger also estimates she "probably did 95 percent" of the singing "on my own" for the girl group's 2005 debut album, PCD. "I hope I don't get in trouble for the stuff that I say," Scherzinger says, "but I'll never forget I finished the album, PCD, and [executive producer Ron Fair] and I brought the girls into the studio and we played it for them. It was the first time they'd ever heard the music."
Despite the hardships she sometimes faced, Scherzinger — who first found fame as a member of the made-for-TV band Eden's Crush — says ex-bandmates Melody Thornton, 28, Ashley Roberts, 31, Kimberly Wyatt, 30, Jessica Sutta, 30, and Carmit Bachar, 38, are "like my sisters."
Scherzinger's Behind the Music airs Sunday, October 7, at 9 p.m. EST on VH1.

Guantánamo defense attorneys want to accuse U.S. of torture — but can't
Defense lawyers made clear Tuesday that they want to pursue international torture claims against the U.S. government to stave off execution of the five men accused of conspiring in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks — and argued that war-court restrictions block that avenue of defense.
The Pentagon-paid defenders argued to Judge James Pohl, an Army colonel, that a government protective order governing trial preparation not only hamstrings their ability to file suit abroad under the U.N. Convention Against Torture but also gags the men from telling other courts or governments about their secret CIA interrogations.
The alleged mastermind, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, sat emotionless in his court-approved camouflage jacket and self-styled turban as his defense attorney reminded the judge that the man was waterboarded 183 times and is currently forbidden to work with human rights groups to file a torture claim.
"You cannot use state secrets to classify the observations and experiences of someone who was exposed to torture," said Army Maj. Jason Wright, Mohammed's defense attorney, arguing that the U.S. government was using a classification regime to hide what the CIA did to the men in secret overseas prisons, out of reach of U.S. courts and the International Red Cross, from 2002 until 2006.
Accused in the case are Mohammed, 48, and his nephew Ammar al Baluchi, 36, both Pakistanis, alleged plot lieutenants Walid Bin Attash, 35, and Ramzi bin al Shibh, 41, both Yemeni, and Saudi Mustafa al Hawsawi, 45, for allegedly organizing, training and funding the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers.
Prosecutors don't concede anyone was tortured. They do say that the law forbids them from using coerced confessions at the death-penalty tribunal. They argue any mistreatment might be considered once the five accused are convicted and a military jury weighs whether to have them executed.
The case is "not about torture," argued case prosecutor Clay Trivett. "It's about the summary execution of 2,976 people."
The chief prosecutor, Army Brig Gen. Mark Martins has proposed to start the trial on Sept. 22, although Monday he said they'll likely push that date forward.
Meantime, defense lawyers argued Tuesday that Pohl's order prohibits the attorneys from helping their clients bring Convention Against Torture claims overseas as a way of forging a defense strategy. The order also requires that defense lawyers make sure the five accused terrorists don't tell their story to their own governments or foreign human rights investigators that might pursue torture claims.
Hawsawi's attorney, Navy Cmdr Walter Ruiz, said the rules governing his defense are so severe he can't even answer a reporter's question of whether he believes his client was tortured.
Lawyers for the other four men say they were definitely tortured, and Ruiz told the judge that he should either dismiss the case or make it a non-capital trial if the rules prohibit him from helping his client pursue a violation of the Convention Against Torture claim.
"You want to prosecute these guys. You want to gag them," said Cheryl Bormann, defense lawyer for Bin Attash. "But you can't execute them. You have to have some fairness in the system."
Throughout the morning's arguments, Pohl repeatedly noted that he doesn't have the authority to declassify information, just issue an order protecting it. To which Bormann retorted that even if President Barack Obama declassified trial information, the judge's order as written would continue to gag them until he got around to amending it.
For this week's hearings, the Pentagon brought to Guantánamo eight people described as family members or direct victims of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 that killed 2,976 people at New York's World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. They were accompanied in court by a Pentagon paid escort wearing a New York Fire Department uniform.

Pilocytic astrocytoma
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My 20-month-old son was recently diagnosed with a pilocytic astrocytoma attached to his brain stem. The tumor was explained to me as being mildly malignant with a possibility of becoming more aggressive. During his surgery 2/3 of the tumor was removed. My question is; of the remaining tumor, are there any studies that show the percentage of this astrocytoma becoming more aggressive (more malignant)?
Hui-Kuo G. Shu, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Your son has a pilocytic astrocytoma that had a significant portion resected (surgically removed). Pilocytic astrocytomas are considered the lowest grade astrocytomas (least aggressive). They tend to be well-circumscribed and, depending on the location, can often be completely resected (which is generally considered to be curative). However, some locations, such as in the brainstem, are more difficult to resect completely because of potential morbidity associated with a highly aggressive surgical approach. In this situation where a subtotal resection is performed, a significant risk of tumor progression exists. If there were a recurrence, the great majority of these would continue to be pilocytic at recurrence. However, as your son's physicians have correctly informed you, the possibility exists for malignant transformation at progression. The probability of this occurring is very low with an estimated incidence of 0.9% based on a study of 107 patients with cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma by a group at the Mayo Clinic (Tomlinson et al., J Child Neurol 9:301-10, 1994). Therefore, while malignant transformation can happen, it is very rare.

Why pay hundreds of dollars to advertise a job nationally if you will really only consider local applicants? Recruiting locally not only saves you time and money: It is also in the best interest of our communities and the environment. It helps avoid commuting, which is a major contributing factor behind environmental damage, failed social relations, and tax spending.
Let us connect you with motivated candidates in your area, and save yourself hundreds of dollars in the process. Click here to learn about our job advertising options.see all services
is a network of regional community employment and news portals whose mission is to help Canadians to find work close to their homes and avoid long-distance commuting and relocations. Each Vicinity Jobs web site is an Internet Search Engine providing easy access to local job postings published on hundreds of national, local, and corporate web sites. We also encourage local employers to recruit locally, by offering employers advanced community recruitment advertising services at very competitive prices.
We see long-distance commuting as more than a personal nuisance. We think that it is the reason behind various social, environmental, and financial issues. If you commute 3 hours a day, you have 3 hours less to spend with your family and friends. If you drive 100 kilometers a day, you cause more pollution than if you drive 10 kilometers, even if you drive a very fuel-efficient car. Maintaining the infrastructure to accommodate mass commuting costs many tax dollars each year. If you work close to home, we all benefit.

food poisoning
food poisoning, acute illness following the eating of foods contaminated by bacteria, bacterial toxins, natural poisons, or harmful chemical substances. It was once customary to classify all such illnesses as
ptomaine poisoning,but it was later discovered that ptomaines, the products of decayed protein, do not cause illness. The symptoms, in varying degree and combination, include abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and prostration; more serious cases can result in permanent disability or death.

FeelGood: A new approach to fight hunger from JD Lasica on Vimeo.
Have you heard of FeelGood? It's an innovative nonprofit social enterprise, based on 27 college campuses, that offers a new way to make a difference in the fight against hunger.
The program transforms students social entrepreneurs and responsible global citizens. Its goal is simple: End world hunger in our lifetime. They do it one grilled cheese sandwich at a time. Founded in 2005, FeelGood empowers college students to run nonprofit delis on their campuses, specializing in grilled cheese sandwiches that are given away for a voluntary donation. At the delis, students develop business skills, launch effective educational campaigns and initiate dialogues about the root causes of and solutions to poverty.
Fully 100 percent of the profits the students raise are invested in organizations with a track record of eradicating extreme poverty and empowering self-reliance. And here's a remarkable stat: Every $100 invested in FeelGood yields $120 for certified organizations working to end global hunger.
I ran into FeelGood's founders, Kristin Walter and Talis Apud-Martinez, at the last Social Capital Markets conference. (The next one will be Oct. 4-6 in San Francisco).

of my neighbourhood, and I mentioned what they are doing to the
innocent people but I never imagened it could come to this..
A few days ago, an owner of a store in my neighbourhood came to his
store which he has abandoned for almost a year and a half, he came back
to take his big genertaor out of the neighbourhood, he was acompanied
by two patrols of the Iraqi national guards. They tried to take it but
they couldn't as it was too big to move, so they delayed taking it to
the next day. Before he came the generator was used by locals without
permission from the owner, and as those locals knew that the guy came
back for his generator, they grew angry and of course some of those
locals are alqa`eda members, so they burned the generator and set his
big store on fire and burned the whole store which contains a huge
amount of electrical systems and equipments, and then they sent a bomb
-car and put it infront of his store and destroyed it.The store was fully destroyed as you can see in the pictures below.The problem is that this owner of the store is a sunni guy, and he
worked in this street over 4 years and he knows most of the locals
around his store area, but those locals where the same who destroyed
his store and burned it.
Here's another story for a building which lays a few meters away from
that store, whose owner was asked for money by Alqa`eda to cover Jihad
expenses, and as the guy said that he didn't have money to give them,
the jihadists decided to take their revange out of his building, so
they asked the owners of the shops in the building to evacuate their
shops and they went bombing and destroying the building which is one of
the most famous building in the whole neighbourhood.And of course the owner of the building has escaped from the neighbourhood because otherwise they would have killed him for saying I
You can see Alqa`eda actions in those pictures. ..
These people on the motorbics are Alqa`eda members.
So as I say a new era of conflicts has began, its true, becuase those
two examples above represent sunni-sunni conflicts, and what we hear in
the news about confilcts in the southern governorates such as Basrah,
Nasiriya and Simawah, those represent shiite-shiite conflicts.I wonder when will it come to the brother-brother conflicts!
I started to see new persons inside the persons that I knew for a long
time, everyone has became very cultic, and would blame the anit-cult
for anything that happens. Here in my neighbourhood, there were
independent educated people who never cared about being sunni or
shiite, they are now changed and became very cultic and aggressive
towards the anit-cult and when they hear that people of the other cults
were killed they kinda become happy and say like "they should die just
as people of our cult are dying", this has made me stay at home all the
time, and never go out and talk to those people about anything.
Even in college, its funny but I have to mention it, we had couples
from different cults who loved each other for two or three years, now
they broke up because one of them is shiite and the other is sunni. And
when a guy loves a girl, he first ask whether she is shiite or sunni
before he talks to her, and if she was from the other cult he would
neglect his feelings.Those are really funny and sick minds at the same time and I'm really
sorry for what happened to the people of my country and how ignorants
and sloven people they become! :(
