|Mega Man using Rolling Cutter.
Rolling Cutter (ローリングカッター Rōringu Kattā?) is Cut Man's Special Weapon. It takes the form of a large pair of extremely sharp scissor blades that are thrown like boomerangs, flying in front of the user in a teardrop-shaped pattern, before returning to the person that used it. This weapon is useful against Gabyoalls, as the regular arm cannon has no effect on them, except to stun them momentarily. It causes rapid damage with contact.
Video game appearances
Rolling Cutter uses one weapon energy unit in Mega Man, Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters. With a full weapon energy gauge, it can be used 28 times in Mega Man and Mega Man: The Power Battle, 19 times in Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge, and 16 times in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters. Also in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, if the Rolling Cutter returns to the user without hitting something, the weapon energy used for that shot will return.
Mega Man
Mega Man obtains Rolling Cutter after defeating Cut Man. It is Elec Man's weakness.
Mega Man Powered Up
Like the original game, Mega Man obtains Rolling Cutter after defeating Cut Man. In New Style it is Bomb Man's weakness, and it can cut his Hyper Bombs before they explode. It is one of the few weapons which can go through walls, others being the Ice Slasher and Super Arm.
When the player uses Cut Man, Cut Man is able to throw two cutters at a time instead of only one.
When facing Cut Man as a boss in New Style, Cut Man can throw a giant cutter in Normal and Hard difficulties.
Mega Man: The Wily Wars
Rolling Cutter is available from the beginning in the Wily Tower mode. However, it doesn't stand out much when compared with the other weapons available, like Metal Blade and Shadow Blade. Bosses don't take much damage from the Rolling Cutter, and Mega Water. S and Iron Ball are immune to it.
Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge
Rolling Cutter is obtain after Cut Man's defeat. It is the weakness of Elec Man and the first form of the Wily Machine.
Bubble Man, Enker, Flash Man, Heat Man, Quick Man, and Wily Machine (2nd form) are immune to the Rolling Cutter.
Mega Man: The Power Battle
Rolling Cutter is obtained after defeating Cut Man in the "Mega Man 1~2" course. It is Crash Man's weakness.
Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters
After defeating Cut Man in the "Rescue Roll!" course, the player must get the Special Weapon Item dropped by him before it disappears to obtain the Rolling Cutter. In multiplayer, only the first player to take the item will obtain the weapon. It is Shade Man's weakness.
Other appearances
As Cut Man's weapon, the Rolling Cutter appears in all games he appears, although he doesn't use it in all appearances, like his cameo in Mega Man 7. It is not obtained by the player in those games.

Mega Man (Ruby-Spears)
Mega Man uses the Rolling Cutter in the Mega Man animated series. When obtaining the weapon in the first episode, it has a normal design, but in a later episode it has the shape of Cut Man's head.
What was also noticeable about the cutters when used by Mega Man, was that they seemed to have homing capabilities—this was demonstrated in the first episode, when they chased Cut Man across almost the entire airstrip, only stopping when Cut Man escapes in the Skullker, and even then following him inside.
Besides throwing the cutter in his head, Cut Man is shown using the cutter without removing it from his head, cutting objects in his path while running, and can rotate the cutter when needed. He is also able to turn his arm into an arm cannon to fire cutters.
Mega Man (Archie Comics)
Mega Man obtains the Rolling Cutter in issue 2 and uses it against Elec Man in issue 3.
Other appearances
The Rolling Cutter appears in the manga Mega Man Megamix, Rockman, Rockman World, and Rock'n Game Boy.

by Norah Judson, age 8
North Branch resident
Before we went to Boston, I was excited to go. We had been planning the trip for a while. My dad was going to run the Boston Marathon. We were going to see the sites, and I was anxious to see the Freedom Trail.
When we landed on Friday it was raining, but there were still things we could do. So we walked in the rain to the Boston Public Library. I liked it because it was old and big. Then we walked to the marathon expo. I liked it because I want to be a runner when I grow up.
We spent all day Saturday on the Freedom Trail. I liked Paul Revere's house. The U.S.S Constitution was cool. I also liked Old North Church. I thought it was neat that we got to see where they ring the bells.
Sunday we got up early to watch Mom's 5K. I liked watching the 5K because I thought it was cool that people in wheel chairs can still do races. A Canadian runner gave me a Canadian stuffed bear.
Later we went on the swan boats. I liked them because they have been run by the same family since 1877. In the afternoon we saw a Red Sox game. I thought it was neat because the stadium was so old. We also saw the Green Monster.
Monday morning, we got up to watch Dad run the Boston Marathon. I liked it because we saw so many runners from different states and countries. I had a good time.
Later we went back to our hotel room and turned on the T.V. That's when we heard about the bombing at the Boston Marathon. The second bomb was right where we had been standing. If Dad wasn't as fast as he is, we would have still been standing there.
Even though I'm mad at the people who did this, I'm still going to run. I'm not afraid to run the William Irvin 5K in Duluth. No matter what, I'm always going to run.


text:
On Saturday 12/14/2014 I had the opportunity to run a 5K race in San Diego's Balboa Park. This race has a special place in my heart ever since I ran it back in 2011. It was the first time my g/f came out to watch me race and I set a personal best 19:41 and won an AG award. Two years later, she is still coming to my races and cheering me on and taking great pictures.
A beautiful sunny day in San Diego, CA. 50 degrees at the start. This year's goal was to set a new PR on the new, harder course. I trained in the past couple of months by running weekly tempos at the track ranging between 5k - 7k and hitting the hills for repeats. Here is the course with elevation for those of you who want to follow along.
The pre-race was strange. After we had lined up, an ex NFL player asked everyone to come back to the grass area for a warm-up and not to worry about losing our place because everyone else was going to do it too. Yea, that's totally what happened. Then, we were treated to a truly awful rendition of Star Spangled Banner performed by Useless Rhetoric. Once the assault on our ears ended, the countdown began.
As the countdown approached zero, the volunteers holding the sign didn't seem to be in a rush to go anywhere. Their sign read 5K Run Start which I realize now may not have been completely obvious to everyone else. They just stood there completely oblivious to the fact that in mere seconds a massive wave of people were going to take off like crackheads at a Black Friday crack sale. Someone finally said to them, "You may want to move before you get trampled".
1st KM - Started off fast without getting caught up in the early rush. Found a solid pace I could hold and held it as we went around the first two left turns. I got passed often in the early going, but I had a plan to execute and I knew I would see some of those people again. split - 3:46
2nd KM - We were headed down a slight decline at this point. I held it steady and tucked in behind a couple of high school age boys as we headed towards the first turnaround. split - 3:53
3rd KM - The turnaround was at the bottom of a hill that we had to climb back up. I saw the leaders of the race coming up the hill and recognized them as the guys in yellow I had been talking to at the start line before the race. My plan was to conserve enough energy to power up this hill and that is what I was able to do. I dug in and ran my best hill repeat; the one you run at the end of the workout. I was able to pass several runners and none of them were able to respond. As a bonus, I passed a couple more people who were recovering on the flat after the right turn. split - 3:55
4th KM - As we headed downhill towards a loop I caught a glimpse of a guy in blue in my peripheral vision. He must not have taken kindly to me passing him and decided to do something about it. I took the inside lane as I rounded the loop and found myself just behind another pack of runners. I felt that if I surged I could pass them so I went for it. I accelerated and passed each one of them, including the lead woman. split - 3:51
5th KM - After a short out and back loop, I found myself on a straightaway towards the finish. When I saw the finish line I checked my watch and saw 18:xx and thought I may have a chance at sub 19! I just had to push it the way I had practiced on the track at the end of my tempo workouts. I didn't realize that this was the longest straightaway finish ever. I soon found myself making up ground on three other runners and it became a four horse race. One of them dropped out at the mistletoe bridge about 200m from the finish, another made a mad dash for the finish, so it was just me and a blue shirt in front of me. I turned it on and just as I was about to pass him he looked over his shoulder and sped up like he had stolen something and held on to 3rd place in our AG. split - 3:47
Final time - 19:23 Bright new shiny PR!
I congratulated the Calerdon Brothers from Mexico on their 1st and 3rd place finishes.
Unfortunately for me, they were both in my AG and earned double awards for their efforts. Afterwards, I enjoyed a Stone IPA in the park with my lovely g/f. In shorts. In December.
Although I wasn't able to win my 2nd AG award at this race, I set a new personal best on a challenging course. It was a great way to cap off a great year of racing and I got to share it with my amazing girlfriend/cheerleader/photographer. With a little more training and on a faster course I believe it will not be long before I break 19 minutes.
Thanks for reading!

Staind's Mike Mushok on the Difficulties of Recording Latest Album
Writing and recording a record is a stressful event for a band. Submerging into the creative space is intense and when that scenario is compounded by interpersonal issues, things can get uncomfortable. For Staind, recording their self-titled new album was hard enough with drummer Jon Wysocki bouncing midway through the entire process and singer Aaron Lewis releasing a solo album at the same time. Guitarist Mike Mushok revealed that deadlines were missed, forcing the band into breach of contract. That, coupled with the fact that he and Lewis being at each other's throats made for a rough five months, mucked up the situation. But things never got dire or to the point of a break up!
"We did not meet our deadline, and then we had to turn something in at that point, and we didn't know what it would be," Mushok tells Loudwire. "It was a finished record but it shouldn't have been. However, it was accepted. That's something that doesn't happen that often. It just goes to show you what we could touch upon. It took me a while to realize that I was happy with it. When I was in the studio those last few days, I was not wanting to listen to it and wanting to be done with it." At that point, Mushok said he realized, "Wow, I needed space since I had no perception."
Mushok admitted that losing Wysocki was not the only reason things were tough and he wanted to be done with the process for the album 'Staind.' He said, "Remember, Aaron put out a solo record while we were doing this, and he had the most work to do on the album, so that was a task. The deadline was looming, putting us in breach of contract, so that makes for more stress. It can start to effect other parts of your life. It was all beyond my control, so it was tough."
Regardless of all that noise, Mushok is ultimately proud of the final product now that he is removed from the experience of making it. The album is Staind's seventh and it marks their final obligation to Atlantic Records. So what's next or where? Mushok seems to like the uncertainty, saying, "We'll see what happens. With the music business, who knows? I can't see record companies lasting much longer." That said, Mushok feels "fortunate that we're still here," which is a testament to the resonant power of Staind's music.
One thing Mushok would like to clarify is that despite the somber tone and moody nature of the music, coupled with Lewis' dark lyrics, the band is not miserable with its collective head down. "That's such a misconception, since we're not like that," he said
Playing guitar isn't the only skill Mushok uses his hands for. The guitarist grew up with a contractor for a father, so he likes to build things. He revealed, "I took my deck down and put in a patio and did all of the electrical work. I installed everything, put in fountains and did the wiring for pumps and wiring." There's magic in those hands!

text: MTV show trivializes health care profession Canadian University Press November 24, 2013 12:00 am Culture Jaclyn Brown — The Sputnik (Wilfrid Laurier University) An image that nurses want to differentiate themselves from. Waterloo (CUP) — On Oct. 24 MTV debuted their latest show Scrubbing In, which follows the party lifestyle of attractive twenty-something nurses in Los Angeles. Depicting nurses in a work hard, party hard way, the nursing community hasn't exactly welcomed the show with open arms. MTV has a notorious history of releasing provocative and offensive shows, as demonstrated by the highly controversial and wildly popular show Jersey Shore that managed to offend the entire state of New Jersey. However, nurses and nursing students across the country are speaking out about the damage these mediated images cause. Barba Mildon, president of the Canadian Nurses Association, wrote a letter to MTV President Stephen Friedmen explaining her personal disgust with the show and her concern for its impact on new generations of nurses. "Scrubbing In's dramatized account of nurses' lives trivializes the critical work they perform," wrote Mildon. "All of their hard work, from studying and gaining experience to answering nursing's call, will be overshadowed by typical 'reality' show fodder." Mildon's prediction regarding the program's impact on new nurses is seemingly becoming a reality. Part of the most recent generation of nurses is Stephanie Brown, a second year student at University of Saskatchewan. She explains how popular shows like Scrubbing In give destructive depictions of nurses and are harmful to students in the profession. "It has a very negative influence and it can cause sexual harassment. People have these expectations and they don't take you as a professional," says Brown. She further emphasizes the strenuous studying and gruesome scenes she's witnessed so far in nursing school. MTV's show has made her see her nursing education in a different light. "We're meant to save lives and we do have a professional body of knowledge and we're not taken seriously," she says. Although there has been no official boycotting of the show by nurses unions, Brown encourages students to look at theses media presentations with a critical eye. "We're still, as a profession, battling it. We have skill set, knowledge base, we have education, but it still doesn't counter the negative images of the social media," she argues. Halloween at the University of Saskatchewan campus was an opportunity for social enlightenment as nurses spoke out about their portrayal in the media. Brown explained how Halloween marked the battle for nurses on campus to discourage students dressing up as the overly popular "sexy nurse." "No sexy nurses!" Brown said, laughing. She describes how the nursing faculty on campus condemns the popular "sexy nurse" Halloween costume and she was not allowed to wear it. Brown explained that actions like these work toward the larger goal of changing students' perception of nursing. Although there has been no official boycott by the Canadian Nurses Association, Barbara Mildon left the MTV president with a final phrase to contemplate: "If you respect the nursing profession and the care we provide to millions of people every day, you will cancel Scrubbing In." MTV has not formally replied to Barbara Mildon's letter, sent on October 21. In the meantime, Scrubbing In airs on MTV Thursday nights at 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. — Photo: mtv cjohnlang/flickr slh This show is disgusting to me as a nursing student. I work incredibly hard, and to have to explain to my family and friends everyday that nursing is not a cop out from medical school or anything else. This show is not helping in that department. I do have a problem with the Sheaf saying Stephanie as seen gruesome scenes as she is only in second year and there isn't anything gruesome we get to see… thanks for the support but lets not exaggerate. Having said all that we all know that MTV plays drivel and this show is about as much reality as you can get seeing as no one has enough energy to go out partying after a 12 hour shift saving lives or otherwise.

Creatures. They come in all sizes. For the most part, I photograph the ones on the upper end of the food chain. But recently I have begun to take notice of some of the much smaller ones as I worked in the garden and yard around my home.
Bugs and insects are everywhere, and I was on a mission to make some interesting photographs of them. To make this happen I knew I wasn't going to be able to look out my window and dash out to make a few photographs. I began walking around my yard scanning the bushes, trees and flowers whenever I had a few free moments. But they were not usually visible in a passing view.
My next approach was to go out into the garden and sit on the ground with my cameras and wait. And wait. I thought all my neighbors were watching my every move and thinking I had finally gone nuts.
Waiting eventually paid off. During mornings and mid- to late afternoons, inching my cameras ever closer, I began to get the photographs that I was hoping for.
There are definitely some interesting characters making their home in my garden.

The Chautauqua County Coroner's Office reveals that the autopsy performed on Leslie Wednesday, February 1 morning confirmed that there were no visible signs of trauma.
Aaron Carter has broken his silence regarding his sister's sudden death. Just hours after his family confirmed that Leslie Carter passed away in upstate New York at the age of 25, the 24-year-old singer released a statement of his own, expressing his gratitude for the supports he's been receiving.
"Aaron Carter would like to thank all his fans, friends and especially his cast and crew at 'The Fantasticks' for their outpouring of love and support during this tragic time," Aaron's statement read. Personally, he said, "I am with my family spending much needed time together as we deal with this private matter."
The former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant, who's taking temporary leave from the off-Broadway production of "The Fantasticks" due to Leslie's passing, continued, "I look forward to returning to my Fantasticks' Family and performing the role of 'Matt' for all my amazing fans. Again, I request privacy for my family and no further statements will be made at this time. "
Aaron isn't the only one speaking out in the wake of Leslie's death. Older brother, Nick Carter, also thanked "the many people and the fans who have shared their wishes and prayers during this tragic time." The Backstreet Boys member added, "Performing is cathartic to me and I am dedicating the rest of my tour to my sister since she loved to watch me perform."
In related news, an autopsy has been performed on Leslie Wednesday, February 1 morning. Richard Mackowiak of the Chautauqua County Coroner's Office told E! News, "There were no visible signs of trauma. We are awaiting a toxicology report to determine a cause of death." He moreover shared that Leslie's body "has been released to the family."
Leslie, who starred in a reality show "House of Carters" in 2006, passed away on Tuesday, January 31. While her cause of death is still listed as "unknown", TMZ reported that the "Like Wow!" singer was battling a prescription medication addiction, and that family members believe she died as a result of an overdose.

The Power Play is based upon deception, but its execution is based upon blast football. This is old smash mouth football, and the birth of the power play goes back to the 1890s, and I'm sure that Shy Huntington of Oregon used a variation in the Rose Bowl nearly a hundred years ago.
We use a version adapted by Chip for the Spread, and it is lethal as we have made a TON of yards from this one play. It is the third most used running play in the Oregon Spread Offense after the Inside and Outside Zone Read, thus it makes sense to appreciate how it works. Enjoy the video below!

Shouldn't he think that I'm beautiful? Does he think I'll get a swelled head if he tells me I'm beautiful? To him I should be.
Most Helpful Guy
Personally, cute is a very high compliment coming from me. When used to judge pure physical attractiveness, it's higher than hot or sexy, and on par with beautiful. Only words like stunning and gorgeous are higher on my scale. But cute doesn't just encompass physical attractiveness, when I say a girl is cute, it often means that not only are they physically attractive, but also that they have the kind of personality I like in a girl. In those cases, cute is perhaps my highest compliment.00|00|0

Gwen Sharp of Sociological Images comments on an Economist graph that shows how spending patterns have changed in the US during the Great Recession.
The results provide a good snapshot of the economic trade-offs Americans are making (i.e., we're buying more canned veggies and eating out less), as well as which industries are taking the biggest hit as consumers redefine their products as less essential.Changes in U.S. Consumer Spending, 2007-2010
The "nominal" numbers refer to the unadjusted overall changes in spending; the "real" numbers are adjusted for the fact that prices rose by about 5.2% on average, so consumers are getting less for what they spend. So the light blue bars tell you the absolute change in what we're spending; the dark blue bars, the change in spending relative to how much we're buying. When adjusted for price inflation, consumer spending fell by about 8%.

Sochi hockey notebook: Canada seeks goals
SOCHI, Russia — It's difficult to discern which should be a greater worry for Canada in facing the United States in the Olympic semifinals Friday: Offense or defense?
Forwards have accounted for only six of their 13 goals through four games. The other seven goals have come from defensemen Shea Weber and Drew Doughty.
"It's nice to get that from the D, for sure, but I think we're doing a lot of good things," said Sidney Crosby, who along with linemate Chris Kunitz is one of nine forwards yet to score. "I think you just trust in what you do. I think as far as the depth that we have, we know that guys are going to put those in."
Kunitz concurred: "We're getting some quality chances. Just need to find a way to bury them."
The U.S. has been doing exactly that with a tournament-best 20 goals despite only three on the power play.
"They've been scoring a lot," Kunitz said. "We're going to have to make sure we're good in our own end."
Quick vs. Price
Dan Bylsma will stick by Jonathan Quick as the U.S. goaltender, and Mike Babcock will counter with Carey Price.
Bylsma showed no line changes in practice. Canada kept Crosby, Kunitz and Patrice Bergeron together and bumped Kunitz up to the top power play in place of injured John Tavares, who is out for the remainder of the Olympics and NHL season after tearing an MCL and meniscus.
Angry Finns?
Finns are among the friendliest people anywhere, but it's safe to say they'll face traditional rival Sweden in the other semifinal with a bit of a chip. Hours before Finland beat Russia, 3-1, in the quarterfinal, Sweden coach Par Marts made headlines by predicting a Russian victory.
"Obviously we'll take any extra motivation we can get," Jussi Jokinen said. "Sweden and Finland, Olympic semifinal, I think we'll be ready to go either way."
The spectacular goalie matchup on that front: Finland's Tuukka Rask vs. Sweden's Henrik Lundqvist.
Malkin stays
Evgeni Malkin was among four Russian players who did not accompany most of their teammates on an NHL-leased charter flight back to North America on Friday.
Malkin, Alexander Ovechkin, Pavel Datsyuk and Alexander Semin agreed to stay for Sunday's Closing Ceremony. For Malkin at least, that was the plan all along.
Polie returning to work
The general manager of the U.S. hockey team and the Nashville Predators said the errant puck to the face two weeks ago has left him unable to see out of his right eye.
David Poile, who wore an eye patch, spoke briefly with reporters Thursday for the first time since being hit Feb. 6 during a pregame skate in Minnesota. The injury prevented Poile from attending the Sochi Olympics, so he has been talking to assistant general manager Ray Shero and coach Dan Bylsma daily.
"All I know is there's substantial damage such to the point that I don't have any sight today and ... they're holding out hope that maybe something will change as the eye heals," Poile said.

Winds from civil war strife in Syria blow into Lebanon: gun battles erupt in Beirut
May 21, 2012
LEBANON – Don't look now, but the Syrian conflict might not be confined to Syria anymore. Gun battles broke out in Beirut today between factions supporting and opposed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the New York Times reports, in Lebanon's most intense outbreak of violence since the Syrian uprising began. The fighting was eventually quelled by military intervention, but not before a pro-Syrian group had been driven out of its predominantly Sunni neighborhood, and the streets had been lined with burning cars. The outbreak was sparked by the killing of an anti-Assad Sunni cleric at a Lebanese checkpoint, but tensions have long been simmering. Syria's army was deployed in Lebanon for 30 years, up until 2005, and Syria still exerts a strong influence on Lebanese politics; Hezbollah, and most Shiite groups support Assad, while most Sunnis oppose him. An al-Jazeera reporter says he saw streets lined with Syrian opposition flags, and others dotted with posters of Assad. –Newser

Mr. SCHIFF. I rise to speak in favor of the Holt-Bishop amendment to support funding for the Department of Energy Office of Science. This is a vital investment in the Nation's future.
We have tough decisions to make about where to make cuts. And certainly there is a lot of opportunity to cut things that aren't effective that we can't afford to continue with, but we don't want to cut things that are integral to our future. And an investment in science, in research and technology, that is the future of this country.
We're not going to compete with the rest of the world on wages. We're not going to compete with the Third World on wages. We have to compete in the area of productivity. And we can't be the most productive nation on Earth unless we invest in science and technology.
I have a letter here from the Energy Sciences Coalition in support of Mr. Holt and Mr. Bishop's efforts that talk about the need for scientific research, world-class user facilities, teams of skilled scientists and engineers that are funded by the Department of Energy Office of Science at universities and national labs around the country. Economic experts have asserted as much, crediting past investments in science and technology for up to half the growth in GDP in the 50 years following the end of World War II. At this time when we're being challenged by other nations for our leadership in science and technology, this is not the right time to disinvest from this vital research.
The amendment by Mr. Holt and Mr. Bishop is supported by countless associations of physics and chemistry, countless universities and institutions of higher learning--my own University of California campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz, but also around the country, from the University of Chicago to U.S.C. to the University of Tennessee and the University of Virginia, all over the Nation, not to mention Princeton University. And why? Because these institutions of higher learning have been leading the way in path-breaking developments that have just boosted our economy and our understanding of energy and the world around us.
So this is a vital investment in the future, and I urge support for my colleagues' amendment.
Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Chairman, my amendment as offered by my colleagues, Representative Bass and Representative Fudge, would simply restore ARPA-E funding to the fiscal year 2011 level of $179.6 million.
ARPA-E was created in 2009 to bring the kind of innovative thinking that is well known at DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, to the energy sector. That includes a focus on high-risk, high-reward R&D and a quick-moving culture made up of experts who stay for just a few years to ensure that new ideas are continually being brought forward. Unlike some government agencies, its philosophy, much like a tech start-up, is to hire the best technical staff and then hire the managers and leadership that can get the best out of them.
This reinvention of the way that government does business is something that we should be encouraging. A leaner approach adopted from the private sector, with a more agile leadership and the mandate to cut underperforming research avenues, is exactly what the Department of Energy needs. The American Energy Innovation
Council, made up of CEOs and chairmen of some of America's biggest companies, including Bill Gates, Norm Augustine and Jeff Immelt, have proposed spending $1 billion a year on ARPA-E, seeing it as a vital part of our energy future. This bill provides just $100 million, so they endorsed a version of this amendment in the Appropriations Committee.
I recognize that we have a serious deficit problem as a member of the Blue Dog Coalition, and we need to deal with it. But as we make the difficult choices to do that, I don't believe that as we emerge from a recession that we should cut the innovative research that makes America great and has fueled our economic growth for generations.
Energy is not just an economic issue, of course. It is also a national security issue. Some of our ARPA-E's research may help us cut down on fuel convoys in Afghanistan, and every bit of energy independence protects us from even higher energy prices driven by either instability in the Middle East or skyrocketing demand from China.
More than 50 universities, venture capital firms and professional societies--the Association of American Universities and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities--have signed a letter in support of increasing ARPA-E funding. They and I hope that we will provide the funds that ARPA-E needs to continue to do the research that will change our world, not today, but tomorrow and for decades to come.
This amendment offsets the increase with a cut to the departmental administration account. As many people have noted, the Department of Energy has a serious management problem, and perhaps cutting this account will send a message that a new approach is needed.
But this invests in our future. Energy is a national security issue, it's an economic imperative, it's a health issue, and it's an environmental issue; and to invest in this kind of cutting-edge research in a reinvention-of-government kind of an agency is exactly the direction we should go. It's a proven approach that has been proven in the Defense Department with DARPA. It can work here in Energy. It's off to a very promising start, developing new battery technologies where we can lead the development of new batteries for electric vehicles for another generation.
I was very moved by a speech from a CEO of Google about a year ago, and he talked about how the revolution in energy that is just beginning will dwarf the revolution we have just come through in telecommunications because energy is a far bigger sector of our economy. We want to lead that energy revolution. If we do, the benefits to our economic development will be enormous, just as they were in terms of the telecommunications revolution. We don't want to see this leadership go to China, India or any other nation. But if we're serious about it, we need to invest in cutting-edge research. That's exactly what ARPA-E does.
I urge this Congress not to cut back on the Nation's future, but to support the innovative work being done by ARPA-E.
I yield back the balance of my time.

Orient supporters attending this weekend's final league game at MK Dons have been asked to retain their tickets in case the club need to prioritise sales for the away leg of the play-off semi-final.
If the number of tickets allocated to Orient for the away leg does not exceed the number of season ticket holders, the club will introduce a secondary method of prioritising sales.
Orient are fourth in the table but could finish third if they manage to win at MK Dons and Preston fail to beat Crewe.
If the O's finish third, they will play away to Peterborough United on Saturday, May 10 at 12.15pm with the return match coming the following Tuesday at 7.45pm.
But should Orient finish either fourth or fifth then the legs would be held on Saturday, May 10 at 5.15pm and the following Thursday night at 7.45pm.
The fourth placed side will have the advantage of playing the second game at home with the winners advancing to the final at Wembley on Sunday, May 25.

Christmas came to Cressing Temple - and even strong gusts and rain failed to deter shoppers and stallholders.
Thousands of people attended the Helen Rollason Cancer Charity's Christmas food and craft fayre at the weekend.
Angela Lodge, head of fundraising, said: "It was horrendous weather on Saturday but we had almost 2,000 people.
"It was very, very wet but I was astounded at how many people came out.
"A couple of marquees were blown down overnight but we got everybody trading again on Sunday."
Wiliam and Harry the reindeer and Father Christmas were a big draw for the children and there was music from Funky Voices and Rock Choir.
The first Christmas fayre last year raised more than £16,000.

Zanu considers life after Mugabe
Zimbabwe's political elite is beginning to face the reality that President Robert Mugabe cannot be around for ever.
The state news agency, Ziana - normally marked by its adherence to the ruling party line - has reported the existence of a group of "kingmakers" who have set out to groom new party leadership ahead of the 2002 presidential election.
But Mr Mugabe himself has avoided any obvious moves to groom a successor, and his spokeman denied the reports concerning the "kingmakers".
Reports suggest divisions within the party - and even among the supposed kingmakers - over who should succeed Mr Mugabe.
Generation gap
The older members of the party - including the president himself - are believed to favour party chairman John Nkomo or finance secretary Emmerson Mnangagwa as the future leader.
Both are senior figures in a rigid party hierarchy.
Mr Mnangagwa, formerly minister of justice, lost his seat in the elections, and his cabinet post in the subsequent reshuffle - but was voted in as parliamentary speaker, a post which does not have to be held by an MP.
Younger party members believe it is time for some fresh blood - and their preferred candidate is said to be Finance and Economic Development Minister Simba Makoni.
The state of Zimbabwe's economy is the most pressing source of discontent within Zanu-PF.
A former businessman, Mr Makoni was appointed in an attempt to signal that the party was prepare
New leadership
Meanwhile, the Financial Gazette, a respected independent paper in Zimbabwe, suggested that the cabinet shake-up announced on 15 July had been designed to fit in with Mr Mugabe's plans for a new party leadership structure.
Mr Mugabe apparently wants next month's party congress to promote certain figures within the politburo, while retiring others.
There is speculation that first in line for replacement may be the party provincial leaders, whom Mr Mugabe blames for Zanu-PF's dismal showing in the elections.
But the Financial Gazette also suggests that this issue could cause a further split within the party, with some stalwarts insisting that the politburo be elected rather than appointed.

Trent Bridge was bathing in early evening sunshine for the Outlaws' first home fixture of the 2010 campaign.
Having demolished Worcestershire Royals the previous evening the Outlaws made only one change with Ryan Sidebottom, recently selected for England's one day squad, being replaced by Darren Pattinson.
Sidebottom suffered a slight thigh strain in the final over against the Royals and was rested by Director of Cricket Mick Newell.
Derbyshire, who were third in the Northern section prior to this game, won the toss and elected to bat first on what appeared to be a very good Trent Bridge wicket.
Opening batsmen Wes Durston, who signed a t20 contract with Derbyshire after impressing for the Unicorns, blazed his way to 111 from 59 balls.
The former Somerset all rounder's innings included eleven fours and seven sixes and set the Falcons on their way to an impressive 192.
He was ably assisted at the top of the order by Loots Bosman, 39, and Chesney Hughes, 15, putting on 147 in 14 overs.
The Outlaws did manage to rein Derbyshire in towards the end of the innings with Nannes and Pattinson bowling particularly well to restrict the visitors to just 45 from the final six overs.
Alex Hales and Ali Brown provided the Outlaws with the start they required taking Steffan Jones for 20 from the first over.
Hales was in a particularly belligerent mood, following his man of the match performance the previous evening, timing the ball beautifully to score the fifth fastest half century in t20 history from just 16 balls.
The former MCC Young Cricketer was eventually bowled by Peterson, for 69 from 25 balls, with the score on 100.
The introduction of spin following the power play overs slowed the scoring rate and saw loss of both openers with Brown, 32, hitting a flat catch to long on.
But Samit Patel came to the crease and dominated the spinners from the outset using his feet to drive Peterson and Smith over extra cover on regular occasion.
The Outlaws all rounder saw his side home with three overs to spare scoring a beautifully crafted 62 from 28 balls.
The win makes it two from two for the Outlaws with the return fixture against The Royals this Sunday afternoon at Trent Bridge.
The in-form Hales is delighted with his start to the t20 campaign, he said: "Tonight was definitely the highlight of my season so far.
"We have had a fantastic start to the t20 competition, we are playing confident cricket and really believe we have a chance to win some silverware."

Rob Zombie was interviewed by Germany's EMP Rock Invasion (video below). Since his new film "31" was partially funded by crowdfunding he was, of course, asked his opinion on this new way to produce movies. He basically stated that crowdfunding would be improved if the investors where able to somehow receive profits from these projects like large investors.
"I think what's gonna be the next thing, though, will sort of be like crowdfunding, but if you put in a certain amount of money, you're an actual owner of part of the movie. So if the movie makes money, you'll make money. I think that's the next thing. No one's been able to quite figure out how to do that yet, 'cause it's very complicated — if you suddenly have a thousand people that have a percentage of the movie and how do you pay 'em. But I think that's gonna be the next thing they figure out."

Rob Zombie also stated that he has recorded a brand new album but is holding off on releasing it since people don't seem to like CDs anymore. So, in response to this trend, he plans to create a full length film for the album. What has really dominated Rob's time was the production of soon to be premiered horror film "31" which is about greased painted clowns playing a demented game with kidnapped carnies. He also mentions the surprising success of this annual Great American Nightmare with themes from his horror movies. It sure is a badass show. Wouldn't it be awesome to have a theme park based of it?. Sure having a horrorific haunted house all year round sounds dope right? But, Rob thinks otherwise, stating people would get tired of it of if it were available all the time.

Perhaps tuning in to NBC's "The Chris Matthews Show" isn't high on your list of priorities, outside of wanting the chance to catch Dan Rather suggest something bizarre like President Barack Obama couldn't sell watermelons. However, if you had watched the March 28 broadcast of the program, you would have found the show's roster of panelists think the Tea Party movement is a black mark on the Republican Party, as far as it pertains to unseating the Democratic majority in Congress.
Matthews' show featured NBC Capitol Hill correspondent Kelly O'Donnell, Newsweek's senior Washington correspondent Howard Fineman, CNN senior political analyst Gloria Borger and Atlantic senior editor Andrew Sullivan. In the aftermath of the passage of ObamaCare into law, some have suggested this was a defeat for the Tea Party movement. Matthews asked if the mere existence of this movement was a plus or minus for the Republican Party.
"OK, all things considered, if there were no Tea Party crowd, we never saw them demonstrate - would that be better for the Republican Party, or is the Tea Party a plus for them in November, winning elections?" Matthews asked.
Although not a total, the answers from Matthews' panel showed the deck was stacked in one direction, the lone of exception being Kelly O'Donnell, who only conceded the Tea Party association would be a bad thing, but the energy it created was a positive:
O'DONNELL: Well I think they need the energy. They don't want the brand name "tea party."
MATTHEWS: Is it a plus?
O'DONNELL: Overall on the energy side
FINEMAN: No, overall it's a negative and that negative - and that negative, if the tea partiers continue to project the image they've been projecting over the last few days, it's a net negative. In the general election, for the Republicans, it's a net negative.
BORGER: I think it looks positive now, but I'm going to agree with Howard. I think in the end, it's going to backfire on Republicans because it could energize Democrats.
SULLIVAN: After '97, when the Tories lost in Britain, they got tagged as the nasty party and they are still trying to get out from under that 13 years later.

Greetings fellow riders...
I just happened upon this forum because of a link on 650ccnd.com's VStar forum. I was reading all about a 7500 mile trip on a Honda Rebel. Wow, what a ride! I'd love to take a trip like that one day.
Anyway, before I could continue past page one of that saga, I had to register to become a member... so here I am
I did a bit of reading about how this forum came to be and it seems like this is the kind of place I'm going to enjoy spending what little free time I have left out of my day. Just what I really needed was another forum to read... I already subscribe to 5 others (4 of those are snowmobile related, I just recently got into bikes).
Currently, I am waiting for winter to get over with so I can get the bike out again. We started out with a nice strong snowy winter, but that has quickly gone down the crapper and my sled has been sitting on the trailer for far too long. If we aren't going to have snow, we might just as well have nice warm sunny days so I can enjoy the bike. If we are going to have cold and ice, we ought to have lots of snow to go along with it so I can ride the sled. I feel like Mother Nature just doesn't want me to maintain my sanity! (what little there is of it)
Anyway, I currently own a 2000 VStar 650 that I bought from a co-worker last summer. I put a couple thousand miles on it before extreme cold forced me to put it in storage. Throughout the winter, I've made plans on what I'd like to do to the bike for the spring, but money has been lacking. Now I've almost got myself talked into selling my sled to finance the changes to the bike. I certainly get more use out of the bike than I do my sled. I talked to a friend in the bodyshop business yesterday morning and I believe that we'll be getting my bike repainted within the next couple months. I just need to strip the tins off of it and get them to the shop (this comes down to free time I seem to have a lack of).
I was going to post a picture of me and my bike, but I'm on the laptop right now. My desktop decided to blow the hard drive controller yesterday morning. Well, I guess I'll go read some more of the forum and get familiar with the lay of the land.

Now that laid-back January is over, it is the perfect time to get serious and reorganise an underachieving home office to increase efficiency while also harmonising the space with your decor.
Along with the burgeoning trend towards telecommuting - Australian Bureau of Statistics figures from November 2008 show a huge 2.4 million people (24 per cent of the workforce) work some hours at home - there has been an increase in domestic office furniture and storage options.
Myriad solutions now ensure functionality without sacrificing style.
With this in mind, we checked out the home office of Kristina Karlsson, the decorative-stationery diva behind kikki.K stores.
To be near her young son, 36-year-old Karlsson spends several days a week working from the SOHO (small office, home office) she shares with her partner, kikki.K's chief executive officer, Paul Lacy, in their Port Melbourne townhouse.
A world away from corporate-grey filing cabinets and makeshift pine tables, their SOHO is a streamlined model of accessibility and the ideas incorporated are not difficult to emulate.
"Labelled boxes are the key," Karlsson enthuses. "I stack A4, half A4, CD, mini boxes and magazine holders on an IKEA shelving unit.
"What I love about the boxes is that you can put things away into them quickly.
"You will instantly know where to retrieve even fiddly items and they give a look of calm to the home office."
The "white-obsessed" Karlsson's predominantly white office is accented with a dash of classic black and just a splash of colour. "If you love white, don't be afraid to mix different shades such as pure white with off-white," she advises.
For those who fire best in more colourful surroundings, Karlsson suggests employing a rainbow of glossy cardboard or cloth-covered storage boxes. These can be colour-coded, for example, using red to signify finance.
Howards Storage World's resident organisational expert, Cathy Player, is also a fan of boxes, however she divides workers into two groups: those who like the paraphernalia of the job surrounding them and those who prefer a clear desk.
"For clear-desk people, it is best to have shelves nearby for storing items, whereas, if you are a desk person, it is useful to consider desktop organisers," she says, pointing out Howards' eco-friendly bamboo desktop office organiser range, which includes items such as a smart desk tray ($32.95), file holder ($19.95) and pen box ($4.96).
If your SOHO lacks space for shelves, an innovative idea from the company is the elfa Office Island, a freestanding workstation.
Custom-designed and easily dismantled if relocating, the two-sided unit consist of steel uprights supporting a timber desktop, slide-out drawers and shelves with walnut or birch fascias (priced from $985). For avoiding paper-flow mayhem, both Player and Karlsson have several disciplinary tips to share.<
Karlsson favours "intelligent" filing. "Take five minutes at the end of each day. Place documents on-the-go into colourful manila folders; those used less regularly can be archived in a lever arch binder. Sort into logical categories such as 'To Action' and 'For Later'."
Player advocates keeping a recycling bin close by so unwanted paperwork can be removed instantly.
To keep things even more orderly, IKEA's work and business sales leader, Marcus Gray, says cable management, such as through the use of a cable cover, is particularly important, especially in an apartment.
"And don't forget, you cannot complete a home office without ergonomic seating and good lighting," he advises.
A home office doesn't need a dedicated room. For small spaces, IKEA has the nifty wall-mountable PS Laptop workstation (which measures 58 centimetres x 70 centimetres x 20 centimetres, $99). Its flip-down lid becomes the desktop and it has a modem compartment plus small shelves.
At day's end, lock it up and work is out of sight and, hopefully, out of mind.

ARC Associate Living Master™
Russian artist
Born in: Russia
Biographical Information
Arina Gordienko is an internationally acclaimed artist who is often known under her artist's name of 'ARINA'. She is passionately dedicated to the renaissance of the realistic traditions in painting and widely proclaims revival of Beauty in Art. She uses the old Masters classic 'sfumato' technique in her work but with her own contemporary essence. She has developed her own significant style, combining traditional classical techniques with surreal imaginative compositions and a contemporary palette.
Russian-born, now based in the UK, ARINA exhibits her paintings all over the world and is recognized with a number of awards in the UK, USA, Europe and Australia. Her paintings were featured at venues such as Saatchi Gallery in London, Museum of Fantastic Art in Vienna, Museum of Modern Art Vittoria Colonna in Italy etc. Her works are in private collections worldwide and featured in numerous publications including Reinhard Fuchs' book 'Masterpieces of Visual Arts - The Great Female Artists from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era' alongside works of Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe, Bridget Riley etc., 'Masters of Contemporary Fine Art' in the UK, 'Strokes of Genius -4' and 'Strokes of Genius-6' in USA. She studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art having graduated with Master's Degree (MA) in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art, University of the Arts London, UK. ARINA is a full-member of Society of Women Artists in the UK, Portrait Society of America (PSA) in USA and an Associate Living Master of the Art Renewal Center (ARC).
ARINA's Faces
Recently within contemporary art there has been resurgence in using the portrait genre as a tool to explore concepts that reach beyond pure appearance and likeness. ARINA's faces stand out from the crowd with a graphic signature style that is memorable. The compositions have a bold directness with the monochromes and reds creating a visual language that communicates across cultures. Her use of light, composition and pose has a sense of a 17 Century Dutch artists like Vermeer but the use of scale, tone and reference to realism bring it firmly into the 21 Century. The qualities of her art have hints of her Russian background within the context of Western influences.
On close inspection ARINA's handling of paint is not of bold gestures but the quiet, slow build-up of tonal values which beautifully suggest the sensual surface of the skin and underlying bone structure. The lack of hair accentuates the features of the face with the folds of the head scarf contributing to the architecture of the head, creating an almost sculptural object. ARINA uses herself as a vessel for her ideas; the likeness is striking and her expressions are beguiling; she occupies her face with the confidence of an actor trying to communicate to a broad audience. ARINA's portraits are ambiguous, she does not reveal too much about herself but presents an icon of a woman that can be contemplated and interpreted in many ways; this is where her paintings' strength.

NICKY Adams has no regrets passing up the chance to face Wanderers in the Championship next season by returning to Bury.
The Breightmet-born midfielder quit Rotherham United to sign a three-year deal with the resurgent Shakers yesterday and lead their fight for promotion from League Two next term.
Adams watched from the sidelines as Rotherham swept aside Kevin Davies's Preston North End in the League One play-off semi-final on Thursday night to book a Wembley date with another of his former clubs, Leyton Orient.
But though he wishes Steve Evans the best next weekend – Adams insists the opportunity for a "homecoming" with Bury was one he couldn't turn down.
"Me and the manager at Rotherham didn't see eye-to-eye on a couple of things," he told The Bolton News. "But that happens – I really hope they get promoted because there are some great people at the club.
"Sometimes people disagree in football but in this case it opened a door for me.
"I had one very good club in League One ask if I wanted to come, and a couple of others in the division.
"But once I spoke to Stewart Day (Bury's chairman) and David Flitcroft (manager) I was blown away with their vision for the place.
"Bury are the club who gave me that big break when I was a kid and to go back there now just feels right for me.
"I want to help them get to where they want to be. And they are not messing around – they want promotion."
Adams walked out on the Shakers six years ago to join Nigel Pearson's Leicester City, helping the Foxes to promotion in his first season and then the Championship play-offs in the next year.
His golden touch has also worked at Rochdale, Brentford and Leyton Orient – who have all been upwardly mobile this season.
But the big draw for the dynamic 27-year-old was a reunion with Flitcroft, a coach who he admits has had a profound effect on his career.
"Everyone knows what a good relationship I have with him," he said.
"He coached me when I was a kid, I've played alongside him and for him – but the important thing is he knows how to get the best out of me. I can't say how important it is to feel that your manager knows your game and what you are best at.
"I can't wait to get going now. The season can't come around soon enough."
To step down from the higher echelons of League One is a big leap of faith for the former Wales Under-21 international. But Adams is not looking to be a big fish as he steps into the JD Stadium.
"Over the last two years I think I have played the best football of my career," he said.
"I have had options to go elsewhere but the changes at Bury this last six months have been unbelievable and who wouldn't want to be a part of it?
"My dad (Terry) still watches all the Bury games and you can see they picked up when the manager came in.
"Coming back to the club where it started is a really exciting thing for me and I'm really glad to have got the opportunity."

Microsoft announced Thursday that it had accomplished the herculean task of moving hundreds of millions of users from venerable webmail service Hotmail to the sleek new Outlook.com. Some 300 million users and 150 petabytes later, Hotmail is officially a ghost town.
And it's been a welcome change for most users: Hotmail was around since the early days of Web-based email, and while it got a few facelifts along the way, its age was apparent. Outlook.com, on the other hand, we found to be attractive, powerful, and generally a great option for emailers of all stripes.
So Microsoft may not have had the problem of users vehemently protesting relocation, but that doesn't mean it was easy. Hotmail was a popular service, and all those years of emails and attachments add up. The company had to migrate 150 petabytes of data to the new service — that's 150 million gigabytes.
It took about six weeks to do the job (as planned), but it's all finished now.
As Microsoft notes, you don't have to change your Hotmail address or update any settings on your phone or on other apps. "Since you keep using your same email address, there is no need to change any settings on your devices."
If you have a Hotmail Plus account, it will "continue to work with Outlook.com, no need to make any changes." (For answers to more Hotmail-related questions, visit this Microsoft page).
Like Hotmail before it, Outlook.com is free to use, so if you're tired of Gmail or Yahoo! and on the prowl for something new, give it a try.

ST. PETERSBURG — Rays manager Joe Maddon said a lot of teams refrain from bunting with two outs for a hit.
"They always say, 'Hit a double, hit a double there, get in scoring position,' " Maddon said.
But to SS Elliot Johnson, with hot-hitting DH Johnny Damon hitting behind him, first base is scoring position.
Johnson helped spark the offense by hitting a perfect bunt single down the third-base line in the fifth before getting knocked in on Damon's double. Johnson said he noticed Cardinals 3B David Freese playing back, so he gave it a shot.
"I'm just trying to get on base," Johnson said. "If they're going to give it to me, I'm going to take it."
Though it was not a traditional play, Maddon and the Rays aren't afraid to take chances.
"There are so many things in 'the book' that I don't necessarily agree with," Maddon said. "One is not to bunt with two outs. Right there it paid off for us."
It was a good day for Johnson, whose two hits, including a double, matched his total since coming off the disabled list June 12 (2-for-29). Johnson said he has seen the ball well maybe once since returning, but getting a bit "lucky" Sunday could help.
"Hopefully," Johnson said, "I can continue to build off this and get it going."
ONE LAST SHOT: INF/OF Ben Zobrist, an All-Star in 2009, was excited just to have a chance this year, being one of five members on the "Final Vote" ballot.
"It's an honor just to be part of it," he said. "I know a couple years ago it was a blast for me to be a part of the game, and it's just such an honor to be considered one of the best in the game."
Fans can vote for Zobrist on mlb.com until 4 p.m. Thursday, and he's up against DH Victor Martinez (Tigers), OF Alex Gordon (Royals), 1B Paul Konerko (White Sox) and OF Adam Jones (Orioles). Zobrist said he wouldn't campaign, but he doesn't have to as the Rays and Diamondbacks partnered to push him and Arizona RHP Ian Kennedy for the final spot. Fans are encouraged to put #HelpZoGo when promoting on Twitter. And Maddon wore a "Zorilla" T-shirt in his postgame news conference.
CLOSING OUT: Maddon has also lobbied for RHP Kyle Farnsworth to be in the All-Star Game, and the veteran worked the final 12/3 innings Sunday for his fifth career save of five or more outs and second in the past nine days. It was his 17th save in 19 chances this season.
"He does it in a very economical way," Maddon said. "That's why I want to make my plea for this guy definitely (belonging) on the All-Star team this year, absolutely."
JOHNNY BE GOOD: C John Jaso picked up two doubles, giving him five among his eight hits in his past seven games after not recording an extra-base hit in his previous 16.
LINING UP: 3B Evan Longoria was given a day off. Maddon had planned on sitting Longoria either Friday, the day after the team's off day, or Sunday. He's expected to play today against the Twins.
PRICE IS RIGHT: LHP David Price enters today's start coming off two strong outings, including a no-decision against the Reds last time out in which Maddon felt he had his best fastball of the season.
"It was overpowering," Maddon said. "The hitters are going to tell you how quick it is, and when they've got to start laying back to try to catch up, that really tells you it's pretty lively. … He throws this hard two-seamer, it's almost ridiculous he's been able to throw 95-96 with that kind of movement."
GOING NATIONAL: The Rays finished interleague play 12-6, tied for their third-best record in franchise history. Longoria had 18 RBIs in interleague play, tying the club record held by Fred McGriff (2001) and Gerald Williams (2000).

Advisor Name Title Donald M. Baltz Committee Chair Charles Wilson Committee Member J. Michael Fitzsimons Committee Member Lawrence Rouse Committee Member Thomas H. Dietz Dean's Representative Keywords

Date of Defense 2003-11-03 Availability unrestricted AbstractAn extensive search for data on life-history and ecological variables was conducted for a representative number of the species within the family Lutjanidae. After creating different databases and standardizing all data, these variables were examined in statistical, correlation and graphic analyses. Additionally, a series of Principal Component Analyses were used to examine patterns among variables. Life-history variables included age at length zero, asymptotic length, maximum length, longevity, asymptotic weight, length at maturity, age at maturity, reproductive life span, growth rate and mortality rate. Ecological variables included latitudinal and vertical distribution, habitat selection (represented by substrate type), and spawning seasons. The feeding habits of snappers were examined after determining the most common items reported in the literature and summarizing them in ten categories. Results indicated that life-history variables related to the size of the species were highly correlated, supporting the findings of other studies that length at maturity is dependent on asymptotic length. Longevity and reproductive life span were also highly correlated, while longevity and age at maturity had a low correlation, indicating that maturity among snappers is independent of life span and with relatively low variation among species. A review of the geographic and vertical distribution of snappers suggests that pre-settlement larvae in several species may exhibit strong nursery habitat selection, and that adult snappers have distinctive vertical distributions. Finally, based on the variability of prey items found in snapper diets, two basic feeding strategies were evident, species in the subfamily Lutjaninae feed mainly on benthic organisms, mainly crustaceans; while species in the subfamily Etelinae feed in the water column on a variety of pelagic fishes and invertebrates.

Acidichloride was a gas that was toxic to most humanoids.
While under the effects of hyper-evolution in 2372, the alveoli in Tom Paris's lungs changed so that he could only breathe a mixture of 80% nitrogen and 20% acidichloride. (VOY: "Threshold")
There is a similar sounding real-world compound, acetyl chloride, but it is synthetic (not appearing in nature) and is a liquid at standard temperature and pressure.
Acid dichloride is not a rigorous chemical name, but taken most literally, corresponds to phosgene, a compound notorious for its use as a poison gas in World War I.
