Prairie dogs may be born to be wild, but they are also happy to be your house pet. Once bonded to you, and acclimated to your home, they are quite content there. They have no desire to go back to the wild or outdoors. Although prairie dogs may be taken for a walk (with specially designed prairie dog harnesses), they don't need (or want) to be walked. What they want to do is to stay right in their own little environment. This makes them good pets for those who don't get out much, for those with small houses or apartments, and for people who live in big cities, where it can be tough keeping a pet that needs to be out in the sunshine.
Care of baby prairie dogs: Often, baby prairie dogs are captured before they are actually weaned so they are not eating solid foods enough to keep their layer of 'baby fat. These babies often lose this layer of fat from the time of capture until they get into your home. They get cold easily and can die quickly. Keep them warm, in an aquarium with a heating pad under a small portion of the aquarium. Keep the heating pad on 'low' and check it often. It must only be under PART of the aquarium, on the outside, so that the prairie dog can escape to a cooler part of the container if the heating pad setting is too high or malfunctions. Supplement babies with a plastic syringe. Small (5cc) syringes or bird feeding syringes can be purchased in apet store or from the vet. Mix 1/2 gatorade or pedialyte with 1/2 whole milk - Esbilac for puppies is actually best and feed the pup SLOWLY dripping it into the mouth. Be careful that it does not gasp and aspirate which will mean DEATH if the milk gets into the lungs. Take it slow and be patient. Do this every few hours. Be sure the milk is warm. Putting the baby under your shirt, next to your skin will also warm it but do give it time to be 'outside' and breathe normally. Feed a 6 oz. baby every 2-4 hours depending on its condition. A dehydrated baby will not last long so keep it full of fluids.
Ambient & Body Temperatures: Black-Tailed prairie dogs are not true hibernators. Prairie dogs exposed to ambient temperatures of around 55ø F. may enter a state of torpor or semi-hibernation. Warm with heating pads and apply supportive oxygen therapy. Exposure to lower temperatures may result in hypothermia. Ailing prairie dogs may also have a temperature drop and may not respond to treatments until warmed. The prairie dog's normal temperature is 98 - 99ø F.
Restraint: Roll the prairie dog in a large towel folded lengthwise to restrain it for injections (normally in the thigh). This takes a little practice and must be done quickly, but it works well without having to squeeze any one area as the towel equalizes pressure on the body. Be sure to roll your 'prairie dog 'tamales' tightly! A clinician experienced with prairie dogs may choose the following method of restraint for sedation. Grasp the prairie dog at the BASE of the tail with one hand. Lift the prairie dog off the table surface, maintaining your hold at the base of the tail and keeping the head pointed down. Allow the prairie dog to obtain footing in this position on something such as a cage door or your pant leg if you are very brave. (Prairie dogs rarely bite in this position but the possibility is there.) With the other hand, pin down at the back of the neck preventing the prairie dog from turning its head.
House Training: In the wild, each prairie dog family has only so many square feet of grass; if they were to do their business all over that grass, they would gradually poison their own food source. So each little family digs a latrine, and everybody goes to the bathroom there. When it gets too nasty, they either clean it out or bury it and dig another one. In your home, a prairie dog will actually want to find and use a litter pan, or some other such spot away from its principal stomping grounds.
Prairie dogs should be kept confined when you are not at home to watch them. If you let your prairie dog run around free in the house while you're gone, you are likely to discover a whole new world when you return. But a prairie dog will probably do none of this when you're home. It's you the animal really wants, not the chair leg. Even when you are there, however, you will have to triple-childproof your home if you're going to turn your prairie dog loose. You can't have drain cleaner or chemicals of any kind where the animal might get at them. You will have to disguise or cover electrical cords -- prairie dogs love to gnaw on them, especially those with Christmas lights. Prairie dogs are also terrible thieves, with a special fondness for socks. (They won't destroy your socks, but they will collect them.) Like most of us, though, prairie dogs tend to grow less destructive with the passing years.

PLANT CITY — Like she has for the last six years, Nija Thomas was waiting Wednesday for her husband to come out of the Save-A-Lot warehouse where he works so they could have lunch.
A gunman police said once worked for a warehouse contractor changed their routine.
Around 12:30 p.m., the man drove his red pickup truck to an office at 4003 Amberjack Blvd., got out and started firing, Plant City police said.
Thomas saw it unfold.
"My heart stopped," she said. "You hear about things like that on TV but never expect to see them in person."
Police said Andrew Lee Brown, 53, of Lakeland was the gunman Thomas saw shooting at the office.
He kept shooting as he entered the building and shot Aaron Huey, 25, in the foot, police said.
Thomas called 911 and raced to the warehouse part of the building to warn her husband and others a gunman was coming.
Brown barricaded himself in the office and set fires before moving to the warehouse where he was arrested, police said.
A dozen employees who had been trapped in the building with the gunman made it out safely.
Huey was taken to South Florida Baptist Hospital. He works for a contractor with Save-A-Lot, police said.
Brown is a former worker for a transportation contractor working with Save-A-Lot, police said.
Brown was charged with attempted first-degree murder, eight counts of aggravated assault, three counts of first-degree arson, shooting into an occupied building, aggravated battery and using a firearm in the commission of a violent felony. He was held without bail at the Hillsborough County Jail.
Investigators questioned him to determine a motive but said Wednesday night it was unknown.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement records do not show a criminal past in the state. Police said there was no signs of a previous relationship between Brown and Huey.
The episode cut short lunch plans for Thomas, 33, a nurse from Lakeland. Her husband took her home before Brown was arrested. She's not sure if she'll be able to go there again.
"I don't want him to go back to work there. But I know he has to," she said.
Times researcher John Martin contributed to this report.

The brain can only hold so much throw-away data at one time. In this age of digital overload, there's little room left over for temporary phone numbers, phone messages, notes from a conference call meeting, reminders that aren't big enough to be full-blown tasks, etc. When someone says, "take down this confirmation number…" do you reach for a pad of paper or your keyboard? There are folks that love their pen and paper. I'm not one of them. I hate my handwriting, and I have enough paper clutter in my life thankyouverymuch. I much prefer to keep track of my life digitally. Even when I'm away from home, I use the keyboard on my cell phone (Cingular 8125) or the stylus to jot down quick notes that will sync with my laptop when I get back to it.
For folks looking to move to the digital way, here's some suggestions you can try once you've determined that you need more than Mac OS X Stickies or a desktop littered with .txt files. I'm not talking about outlining or mindmapping applications that let you organize your thoughts and notes and relate them to each other. That's the next step. This is just for those little snippets of dates, times, facts, links, ideas, and throw-away-but-maybe-you-need-to-save notes that can get out of control or lost easily.
Check out the comments below and on Digg for some more fantastic suggestions…thanks, everyone! Flying Meat's VoodooPad and Barebones' Yojimbo seem to be worth a look under OS X. Tomboy under Linux.
Mac OS X:
Sidenote: It's like an online drawer for your Sticky notes. Slide it out, type stuff in, close again. Lightweight and free, it "sticks" to the side of your screen. Unfortunately, the notes aren't searchable, so name your notes carefully to find them again in a pop-up list. Correction: the notes are searchable through Spotlight.
mynotes: Takes Sidenote and Stickies one step further for a $17.95 price tag. What are you buying? Note searching, for starters. But you also get an interface that feels like the Mac OS X Address Book (and it communicates with the Address Book too to grab information about contacts to add to your notes). Collect your notes in groups (to keep receipts separate from conference call notes and blog ideas). Like Stickies and Sidenote, your notes are auto-saved which is the biggest advantage over taking your notes in something like TextEdit. The most intriguing feature of mynotes is its ability to sync notes directly to an iPod. There's no encryption of the notes, so I wouldn't store your bank passwords this way.
Windows XP:
EverNote: Available in both a free and paid version, this popular application is a must-have for quick note-taking. Of all the applications I've tried, it's my first choice. Instead of the "each note is an island" approach, EverNote is like using an endless roll of paper for your notes. New ones get tacked on to the end. The main difference between the free and paid version is in syncronization features and handwriting recognition. If you have an external tablet or Tablet PC and you like taking handwritten notes on your computer, you're going to want the paid version. Currently at version 1.5, a 2.0 version is in beta. Evernote lets you tag your notes (they call it "categories" but it functions like tagging), browse notes in a timeline, and so much more. Web browser and Office plug-ins allow you to capture material for your notes easily from other applications. If there was a version of Evernote for Mac OS X, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. For now, I run it in Parallels. It's that good.
Microsoft OneNote: Take EverNote, throw in tight integration with Microsoft Office applications and collaboration features (along with a $100 stand-alone price tag) and you have Microsoft OneNote. I used the 2003 version for a little while a few years ago, but I found it slower to use than EverNote. OneNote syncs one-way with your notes in Microsoft Outlook, so if you're an Office fan then OneNote may be a good choice.
Your Turn:
There are a lot of choices for taking down messages, notes and snippets of information that you collect from meetings, online and other sources that you should only be hunting for that pen if you want to. I've only presented a few on each platform to get started. What do you use? What about when you're on the go…do you take notes on your cell phone or PDA…what are the choices there that you like?

Summary of Federal Laws
Miscellaneous Laws Affecting Universities
Compliance Partners
|Associate Director of Enrollment Management Systems

Related Policies
Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act)
15 U.S.C. § 6801 et seq., 16 CFR § 313.1 et seq. (privacy)16 CFR §314.1 et seq. (safeguarding)
This law regulates the disclosure of non-public personal information by financial institutions. Specifically, the law protects consumers or customers who are "individuals obtaining financial products or services to be used primarily for personal, family or other household purposes." The law requires a financial institution to provide notice to customers about privacy policy and practices, describes the conditions under which a financial institution may disclose nonpublic personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties, and provides a method for consumers to prevent disclosure of financial information by "opting out." This involves both notice on privacy policies to long term customers at the inception of the relationship, and annual notices thereafter.
Institutions of higher education, while not exempt from the definition of "financial institutions," are generally excluded from the requirement to comply with the requirements of the privacy policy regulations. See 65 Fed. Reg. 33646, May 24, 2000. In the preamble to these final consumer financial information privacy regulations the FTC stated:
The Commission also received several comments from colleges and universities and their representatives requesting that institutions of higher education be excluded from the definition of financial institution. The Commission disagrees with those commenters who suggested that colleges and universities are not financial institutions. Many, if not all, such institutions appear to be significantly engaged in lending funds to consumers. However, such entities are subject to the stringent privacy provisions in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"), 20 U.S.C. 1232g, and its implementing regulations, 34 CFR part 99, which govern the privacy of educational records, including student financial aid records. The Commission has noted in its final rule, therefore, that institutions of higher education that are complying with FERPA to protect the privacy of their student financial aid records will be deemed to be in compliance with the Commission's rule.
Accordingly, the final regulations provide, in 16 CFR § 313.1:
Any institution of higher education that complies with the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"), 20 U.S.C. 1232g, and its implementing regulations, 34 CFR part 99, and that is also a financial institution subject to the requirements of this part, shall be deemed to be in compliance with this part if it is in compliance with FERPA.
However, institutions are not exempt from the safeguarding regulations. The final rules on Safeguarding Customer Information contained at 67 Fed. Reg. 36484 (May 23, 2002) do not exempt educational institutions, and thus institutions must adopt an information security program. Key compliance requirements include designating an employee to coordinate an information security program, identifying risks to the security of customer information (including a risk assessment of computer information systems), and contractually requiring service providers to implement and maintain safeguards.

text: Hi Friends! Another busy week, another sweet niece, another baby shower! I asked my niece Julie how she was decorating her babies nursery and then took it from there. She loves animals and it worked great for a "wild about" theme. Of course the Four Seasons Los Angeles made it so easy on us to celebrate in their fabulous hotel! Mark's Garden outdid themselves on the flowers…the train going down the table traveled from the jungle to the garden and then the desert …so cool…my office made the cute place cards and pads. We took vintage animal cracker artwork and framed it for over the dessert buffet. We hung big cut-out animals (thanks Jane!) over the buffet area, I was hoping it kinda looked like a mobile :) Revelry made the linens and chair backs in navy and white so beautiful. Oh and I love Julie's Missoni Dress…yes she is having a boy. Enjoy! xox Mindy


text: A question; A friend of mine recently acquired a Nikon 35~70mm f2.8 AF zoom (the earlier version, not the AFS type). Anyway, noticing that his pics weren't as clear and sharp as they should be, he examined the lens and noticed that one of the inner elements appeared 'cloudy'. I checked it over myself and it does indeed look like some kind of crap uniformly covering one of the elements. I suggested that he send it away for a CLA, which he did. When he spoke to the repair bloke, he was told that this was a not uncommon fault with this particular lens and that the element in question had 'deteriorated' (sic). I don't want to impugn this guys reputation without first asking you lads 'n lasses what you think. To me, it sounds a bit odd. I could understand this on a really old lens, but this one isn't that old. Are Nikon pro lenses (or any pro lens for that matter) subject to this kind of failure? As ever, your opinions are greatly valued. Regards, B.

"If a bishop in the ward has just been released and another bishop put in, do you refer to the former bishop as brother or as bishop?"
Answer/Brother Roy W. Doxey
Because of the importance of the office of bishop, considerable space is devoted to this calling in the scriptures and in the writings and sermons of the General Authorities. As far as I am aware, the answer to your question is not available in these sources. This may suggest that the custom of referring to a released bishop by this title is acceptable.
There should be no compulsion to continue to use the title over a long period of time, however. Certainly, the first few weeks or months after a bishop's release is the period when the members of the ward will call him by that title. It is probable that as time passes the inclination to use the title bishop will be replaced by brother.
The axiom "once a bishop always a bishop" is correct because the office of bishop is an office of ordination conferred by the laying on of hands, the same as the Melchizedek Priesthood office of elder or high priest.
As a stake president, I always referred to a released bishop as bishop, and even to this day, years later, the same salutation is used. Such a relationship continues to bring back memories of times spent in a very special calling. Latter-day Saints use the titles of bishop and president as names of respect. When they do so, they are recognizing that the Lord has called the person to a noble calling and their sustaining help is constant. They also know that when a bishop is released he no longer presides over the ward. The concern which one might voice in calling a former bishop by that title would be if members of the ward believed that he was continuing in the bishop's role of counselor. Wise released bishops understand that when ward members come to them as though they were active bishops they refer them to their present bishop.
If I were introducing a former bishop to a congregation or audience, I would refer to him as brother and then possibly mention he is a former bishop.
"How important is my calling as a home teacher, and how can I magnify this calling more fully?"
Answer/Brother Elden Clark Olsen
I don't believe one calling in the Church is more important than another. Whatever our assignment, our goal should be the salvation and exaltation of those for whom we are responsible—the stake president for all living within the boundaries of the stake; the home teacher for all members of the families under his care. And I can have more influence on the lives of individuals as a home teacher than as a stake president. The reason is simple. The most effective teaching is done on a person-to-person basis, and during my calling as a stake president, I cannot hope to interview each of the thousands of members of the stake more than once or twice. Even then I cannot know as much about them as I would like in order to properly prepare for a discussion. As a home teacher, however, I can learn intimately the hopes, problems, and special needs of each of those in my families; and I can see them as often as necessary, at least once a month, to meet those needs.
The Lord has said, "The teacher's duty is to watch over the church always, and be with and strengthen them; And see that there is no iniquity in the church, neither hardness with each other, neither lying, back-biting, nor evil speaking; And see that the church meet together often, and also see that all the members do their duty." (D&C 20:53–55).
This is what you are supposed to accomplish. Surely no assignment could be greater or more challenging. If every priesthood home teacher responded anxiously to this call, everyone would live righteously, attend their meetings, participate in the welfare program, do genealogy and temple work, and be missionaries by inviting nonmember friends to join in family and ward activities. The Church would really grow and prosper.
How are you supposed to do it? A stake president has many meetings and interviews, with a specific objective to be accomplished in each. I get all the information available about each person involved, then prayerfully plan how best to achieve the objective of each interview. During the meeting I use my best skills, and afterwards I review the results to determine how I can do better the next time. Thus I can continue to improve and eventually become very effective. This is truly magnifying my calling in the priesthood—it is the Lord's plan of progression. I need to use the same procedures as a home teacher.
The Lord has placed on fathers and mothers the prime responsibility of the eternal welfare of their children. The home teacher's role is to encourage fathers, who preside over the home, to establish short- and long-range goals for each family member. This is best done in a private interview. Then the home teacher should assist in every way possible in attaining these goals. A few examples may illustrate some ways in which members can be strengthened and encouraged to do their duty.
On learning that we were his home teachers, one father who understood this relationship came to me with a planning and report form listing challenges given by previous home teachers. Six-year-old Michael had been given a dollar to start a mission fund and had been asked to find a hobby. Eight-year-old Dianne was to learn the names of her grandparents and fill out a family group sheet. Both children were encouraged to play the piano. Father and mother were challenged to develop some common interests in preparation for the future. "Just something to workust something to work on," he wrote.
These we followed up on, and new goals were established. We showed filmstrips from the meetinghouse library on books of remembrance and temple marriage. Once we asked permission to bring a girl investigator to our next visit so she could feel the spirit of an ideal Latter-day Saint family—indirectly teaching both missionary responsibilities and the importance of good family relationships. Dianne and Michael were reading the Book of Mormon. Every time they saw us, at home or at the chapel, they would report on their progress. If there was time, we would ask about some story or the meaning of a verse, and we would always say, "That's wonderful! We're proud of you."
Once when reading the New Testament, Dianne had not read very much and said she just hadn't found the time. We replied that you never find time for worthwhile things, you have to make time by planning a definite schedule for each day. The father said, "We'll all spend a period together each morning reading the scriptures."
You too can experience the thrill of success enjoyed by these home teachers by following these six steps.
1. Be convinced that you have an important divine calling and are in a better position than any other Church officer to help families attain salvation and exaltation.
2. Become well acquainted with each family member, discovering his talents, aspirations, and concerns.
3. Ask the head of the family about goals for each family member and how he would like you to help in achieving them.
4. For each visit select with your companion a specific objective for some member of the family and prayerfully plan how to achieve this objective. Feel free to use all the resources of the community and the Church, including scheduled meetings, people with special abilities, and the audiovisual aids in the ward meetinghouse library.
5. In the presentation use all your personal powers. Bear your testimony on the importance of the points discussed. Observe and sincerely commend every evidence of progress.
6. After the visit, evaluate your success and determine where improvements can be made. Discuss your progress in oral evaluation with your priesthood leader.
"What difference does a temple marriage make in this life?"
Answer/Brother Dean Jarman
It has been said many times that the most important thing a person does in life is to worthily marry the right person, at the right time, and in the right place, which is, of course, in a temple of the Lord. One of the central purposes of life is to organize one's own little kingdom on earth by the authority of the priesthood. Life's purpose is not simply fulfilled by any kind of marriage. It must be the right kind of marriage. The scriptures teach the absolute necessity of temple marriage in order to reach the highest degree of the celestial kingdom.
We read in the Doctrine and Covenants:
"In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees;
"And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage];
"And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.
"He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase." (D&C 131:1–4.)
We also read of the promises given to those who worthily marry and who honor their covenants in the temple:
"Ye … shall inherit thrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and depths … and they shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to their exaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the seeds forever and ever." (D&C 132:9.)
Having thus stated the importance of temple marriage, many reasons can be noted as to the difference such a marriage makes in this life. Three major areas will be considered: preparation for marriage, the marriage ceremony, and marriage itself.
Preparation for Marriage
As individuals prepare for temple marriage, they are taught early in life the standards of worthiness that are prerequisite for entering a temple. Through the growing years, the dating years, and the courtship period, the determination to qualify for temple marriage serves as a motivation to protect virtue and to avoid any improper use of the sacred power of creation. With eyes fixed on the temple, it is easier to make decisions to live a higher standard than that accepted by the world. Young men and women accept full Church participation as a norm. Young men are taught that part of their preparation for temple marriage includes full-time missionary service. Young ladies are taught to develop their domestic skills and to select a marriage partner from those who honor their priesthood.
Because of the seriousness of selecting an eternal companion, inspiration should and usually does become a part of the decision-making process. A couple preparing for eternal marriage ponder more seriously if their love is the right quality to establish a celestial union. Prior to marriage the couple have several opportunities to receive counsel and guidance from their parents, bishops, and stake presidents. The couple not only receive direction as to worthiness, but they also receive counsel on the importance of commencing a family, of raising a righteous posterity, and of establishing a priesthood-directed home.
In short, the couple who are preparing for temple marriage have opportunities for a more thorough preparation. Their goal is not only marriage, but also to receive the blessings of the temple and to lay the foundation for eternal association.
The Marriage Ceremony
I cannot think of any better way to commence marriage than to have the assurance in your heart that your course of action has the approval of God. To be in the temple and to have that assurance provides a powerful foundation on which to establish the marriage relationship. Nothing surpasses the simple beauty of a sealing room. There a couple kneels, not as a bride and a groom, but as a son and a daughter of God who have made some solemn covenants of obedience and dedication. As the young lady is sealed to her husband, she has the assurance that he has pledged himself to walk in the ways of the Lord. The young man is impressed with the responsibility that is his to preside in righteousness. The couple appreciates that their union is not just with each other, but also with the Lord. Words cannot describe the feelings of joy and enlightenment that occur in the life of each properly-prepared couple that kneels at the altar. In this experience alone, temple marriage makes such a difference in this life.
Married Life
The hope of eternal life with loved ones continues to be a rich source of joy and encouragement through the years. Parents who have had spiritual temple experiences will try to teach and to motivate their children toward those same blessings.
As challenges arise in married life, what comfort to recall the experiences and feelings associated with your own marriage! We are also promised continued assurances of hope and peace as we live according to our sacred covenants.
The opportunities to return to the temple, to witness other marriages, and to participate in endowment sessions all serve as restraints against yielding to the enticements and temptations of the adversary. The perspective of the temple helps one to keep his eyes fixed on eternity while trying to resolve the problems of mortal living.
In summary, I would say to young people everywhere that every effort to know the Lord, every restraint against temptation, every worthy act, every decision to date properly, every choice to associate with young people with high ideals, and every prayer to make proper mate selection will someday be rewarded manyfold in the house of the Lord. You will live to know that every effort you have made has been worth it.

After a much-welcomed thunderstorm last night, we stepped off AmaPrima this morning in Vilshofen, Germany, ending five days on board AmaWaterways' newest vessel and temperatures in Austria and Germany that were often above 90F.
The storm started as we were enjoying a gala dinner in Erlebnis, AmaPrima's gourmet restaurant, situated aft and featuring gourmet cuisine, wonderful wines and panoramic views — all at no extra charge. Indeed, dining in Erlebnis was one of the highlights of our voyage from Vienna to Vilshofen.
It was, in fact, a voyage filled with highlights. Click to read the 12 that stand out.

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance Review
The Mortal Kombat series has been around for a while - for over ten years now. While the series met with early success and even inspired a movie at one point, the franchise has spent a lot of time riding the coattails of its early successes, relegating it to a second-tier fighting franchise. Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance aims to end that trend and bring the franchise back to its former glory by redesigning the fighting system, adding new fighters, and introducing new elements such as fighting styles. The result of this redesign is for the most part quite successful, and marks an impressive debut for the series on the Xbox.
|Johnny Cage does a little foot juggling.
First of all, let's get the story out of the way for those of you who pay attention to these things. Two evil sorcerers, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, have joined forces to revive the lost army of the Dragon King. It is up to the heroes of Earth to stop this "Deadly Alliance" by besting the warriors of evil in the Mortal Kombat tournament. OK, makes sense, but then again fighting games don't really need a story. In fact, the story doesn't really come into play unless you play the game in Konquest mode, and only marginally at that.
In Konquest mode (Mortal Kombat replaces every "C" it can find with a "K") you select a fighter and are taken through a series of matches and challenges that begin with training and then move on to full-fledged fights. Interspersed between the matches are occasional mini games that either test your "sight" or your "might". The former plays like Three Card Monte and the latter requires you to tap a button quickly to build up enough strength to break an object. Completing challenges or mini games will reward you with "koins", the currency used to unlock game features, but more on that later.
The Konquest mode is great when you are learning to play the game or want to practice the moves of a new character. Each character has a set number of training sessions and then match challenges, and you can switch to a new character at any time without losing the progress that you made with the previous character. The training matches aren't difficult as your opponent does little to fight back, but they allow you to learn the various attacks and combos in a fighter's arsenal. Once you move on to the challenges things quickly become more difficult as you will be required to perform strings of combos in a set time limit and with your opponent free to attack you. The biggest problem at this point is that the game does not always recognize your combo. The button sequence will be displayed on screen, but you'll often think that you hit the sequence perfectly only to find that the combo is not initiated. Some of these combos are tougher than others, and you may find yourself giving up on a character for which you just can't perform the five required combos in a row. Since Konquest mode is really just an elaborate tutorial mode, it is hard to stick through it to the end for every character, although your reward for doing so is unlocking a couple of fighters.
So where does the story come into play? Between the levels in Konquest mode the game switches to a screen with a monk making a trek between the places that serve as the locations for the matches. When he reaches the next location, text is displayed describing the rivalry or relationship between your current fighter and the fighter featured in the upcoming challenge. This text is extensive, but can at times read like a soap opera and it takes some concentration to keep everything straight. You might eat this sort of thing up, or you might completely ignore it. It really has no bearing on the game itself so you are free to do either.
The game's other two modes are Arcade and Versus. In Arcade mode you select a fighter and are taken through a series of progressively more difficult fights against the computer. Each victory will earn you a koins prize, and if you progress far enough you'll eventually take on Shang Tsung and Quan Chi. Versus mode is the mode in which you can play against another human. Xbox Live support would have been a great addition to the game, but unfortunately online play is not supported.

When you buy a home, in most cases you will be required to obtain title insurance. Title insurance protects your legal ownership of the property you buy. The insurance policy will be subject to certain exclusions and exceptions. Prior to issuing the insurance, the title company will conduct a thorough search of public records to determine the exceptions to coverage, such as any liens or restrictions that affect ownership of the property.
A title insurance policy, in effect, provides an assurance that you really own the property you think you own. When you purchase title insurance, the protection you are buying is based on a title search of public records that traces the chain of ownership of the property involved, and includes a guarantee from the title company that the title is accurate as stated.
You will have to check the insurance policy to figure out exactly what it covers and does not cover.

Bollywood filmmaker Subash Ghai, who is said to have a special affinity for the letter 'M' has done it again, it seems. A few days back, there were reports that Ghai had signed up a fresh face as the female lead for his upcoming film Kaanchi and that the lucky lady in question was a Bengali girl named Mishti.
However, it now seems that the actress' real name is Indrani Chakraborty and that she is not a fresh face, as claimed by Ghai. Sources claim that Indrani, a Bengali starlet, is a part of a Bengali project, where her co-stars are Prosenjit Chatterjee and Joey Debroy. Actor Kartik Tiwari, who was last seen in Luv Ranjan's AkaashVani, is said to be roped in to play the male lead opposite Indrani in Kaanchi.
Kaanchi is reportedly the story of a young woman from Uttarakhand, whose life changes after her father, an ex-army man gets shot down, compelling her to take matters in her own hand.

After three months or more of busy season, after picking up 20 voice mail messages every morning and attempting to clear out the pile of unread messages in email boxes that may or may not be spam, managers and employees in most accounting firms are looking to reconnect personally, to talk about results, goals for the coming year and the roles they will play in accomplishing these goals.

Smart and strategic internal communication takes real time, effort and planning, the Newark Star-Ledger says. Managers have to ask themselves what kinds of communication, personal and professional, their employees need to be both satisfied and motivated.
Good communication with teams and staff minimizes frustration and gets everybody on the same page, ready to pursue the same goals. Great communication, both internally and externally, creates a buzz, builds confidence and allows employees and clients to communicate problems, thus leading to solutions, the Star Ledger says.
Communicating can seem easy, but it can just as easily lead to trouble and in the worst case, result in the loss of some valued employees, says Annette Fazio, writing for Seacoastonline. Understanding the dynamics of one-on-one communication and your own communication style can help to avoid communication errors, she says.
Tone of voice, body language and facial expression communicate far more than words. Only 7 percent of the message received is in the words, 38 percent is in the tone of voice and 53 percent is in the body language of the speaker. Listeners filter messages through their own frame of reference and values.
Managers and employees need to listen and pay attention to the emotions of the speaker, Fazio says. Don't interrupt. Silence has great value. It turns off the listener's filters and helps him or her to analyze the situation. When the speaker has finished a sentence, the listener can repeat what they have heard to make sure they have understood what has been said. It may save time to think for staff members by doing the talking but that can also lead to misunderstandings.
And when opportunities for face time and good personal communication have allowed everyone to come together once again, how should managers plan to use electronic communication to minimize the impact of bottlenecks in email and voice mail? Many corporations are benefiting from using Instant Messaging (IM) internally, in productivity and customer response time, the New York Times says. Finding someone is much easier â at any moment, if the writer knows who is available and who is not. âIf you want to talk to someone informally, using IM is like sticking your head over the top of the cubicle,â said Tim Bray of Sun Microsystems. âYou can also make your cubicle walls infinitely high if you don't want to talk to anyone.â
Managers say that IM improves collaboration and creates a sense of community. âWith IM you can educate an entire team, give them feedback in real time and . . . cement the team together,â Jeff Forbes of Intellicare Inc., a company that operates call centers for health care providers, told the Times. âOtherwise people working at home will feel isolated,â he says.
IM users can have mixed feeling about the new technology and with the kinds of communications it inspires, Lisa Belkin says in her âLife's Workâ column in the Times. Johnny Wong, a public relations consultant from San Bruno, California, coined the term âUnamailerâ, to describe someone who replies with one-word answers. Right, Good. Thanks. Ray Symmes, a business consultant in Portsmouth, Virginia, offers, as an offending kind of IM, an answer to a thoughtful email, âgood anal. of world hunger.â

The "Tern" Jessica Leber--Did you know that parrots and passerines are closely related to falcons? Don't sweat it if you didn't—neither did the world's ornithologists, until this week. Now, a new genetics study published in the journal Science has shaken several bird groups off their perches on the avian tree of life.
The evolutionary relationships among birds have long been difficult for experts to tease apart. That's because, very early in their history, a rapid explosion of avian diversity created most of the distinctly different bird types we know today. As a result, owls look very different than doves, which are unlike parrots, and there are few in-betweens alive to help scientists figure out how all were once related. These diverse groups branched so quickly (say within a few million years) that it's also hard for scientists to use fossils to agree upon their ancestral linkages.
That's where molecular biologists can step in to offer some concrete clarity—they can look at DNA sequences to check for common heritage in seemingly disparate bird groups. The current study, conducted by a collaboration of scientists under a National Science Foundation-funded umbrella called the Early Bird Project, is the largest and most extensive look at the evolutionary genetics of birds ever, according to a press release. The group compared DNA from 19 spots on the chromosome of each of 169 bird species, which represent every group alive today.
What they found overturned much of their previous conventional wisdom. For example, scientists have thought that shorebirds were the ancient ancestors of all modern birds; however, the new data show that this is not the case.
What the DNA does illustrate is that birds which act or live similarly aren't necessarily two of a feather. Instead, birds may have adapted to diverse environments and adopted similar habits at several instances during their history. For example: Some water birds, like flamingos and tropicbirds, are not all closely related to other aquatic birds. Similarly, doves and sandgrouses, both land-dwellers, are unrelated to other terrestrial birds. Along the same lines, falcons aren't very genetically similar to other birds of prey like hawks and eagles (though they do have close kinship with parrots). And all of those pretty hummingbirds that hover during the day—they share a close common ancestor with the plain, nocturnal nightjar. Even the evolution of flight is questioned since Tinamous, which fly, were unexpectedly grouped with the flightless group Struthioniformes, which include ostriches, cassowaries, and emus.
While so many who read Audubon work hard to preserve the amazing diversity of birds on this planet, it's fascinating to stop and think about the 100 million years or so of evolution it's taken to bring us to this point today.

I'm 18 years old, 5ft7 and severely overweight (260pnds) I've always has long thick curly hair but over the past 2 years a lot has fallen out in the shower, at the same time I've had family issues and personal problems which cause stress and anxiety. I notice that sometimes my scalp is sore, itchy and bumpy, I have always used tresemme. I took a pic of the amount of hair that fell out in the shower today please tell me if this may be a problem? Remember I have hair down to my waist. PLEASE HELP.
Is losing this much hair a problem or a sign of anything bad? (photo)
Doctor Answers 1
What is Normal Hair Loss?
It is normal to lose 50 to 100 hairs per day. If you wash your hair everyday then most hairs go down the drain and you don't really see these 50 to 100 hairs. If you wash your hair once per week you will see a lot more hairs the day you wash as that will be the day that a lot get pulled out.
Anyone who has an itchy sore and bumpy scalp should see a dermatologist or hair specialist to evaluate exactly the cause. There are at least 10 conditions that can give a sore, itchy and bumpy scalp and the diagnosis can only be made by examining the scalp up close.
In general, if you feel you are losing more hair than you normally lost each day then it's abnormal. You would want to see your physician not only for a thorough scalp exam but also to get blood work for iron, thyroid, blood levels and possibly hormone studies as well.
Stress can cause hair loss for some individuals (but certainly not everyone). It would not be advisable to assume that all your hair loss is from stress and not pursue a more detailed course of evaluation.

Here's a metaphorical look at what the NBA wanted to do to the Air Jordan 1 in 1984. This new Air Jordan Alpha 1 is completely blacked out with a metallic silver 'Wings' logo and icey translucent outsole. Extending the metaphor, the fines from Commissioner Stern's office only served to shine a brighter spotlight on the now infamous shoe, kinda like how the reflective 3M 'overlay' sections on these joints will stand out in the street. Convoluted analogies aside, this is an immortal design done in a no-nonsense colorway plus modern tech elements for a shoe as true to the game as you could possibly be. These are available now at FinishLine or you can grab yours today on eBay.

Steelers, LB Harrison nearing contract extension
Published: April 11th, 2009 | Tags: Dallas Cowboys, DeMarcus Ware, James Harrison, Pittsburgh Steelers
James Harrison and the Pittsburgh Steelers are closing in on a contract extension that could be finalized as early as Monday, according to Bill Parise, the agent for the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
Parise says all parties involved agreed to get past the Easter holiday before consummating the deal.
The price tag of Harrison's extension is expected to play into the financial parameters of contract negotiations between the Dallas Cowboys and DeMarcus Ware, who like Harrison is an outside linebacker.
Harrison helped the Steelers win Super Bowl XLIII on Feb. 1 by intercepting a Kurt Warner pass and returning it 100 yards for a touchdown. It was the longest play in Super Bowl history and capped Harrison's best NFL season, in which he led the league with seven forced fumbles and set a Steelers record with 16 sacks. Harrison also ranked second on the team with 101 tackles.
Harrison is entering the final season of a four-year, $5.5 million contract that he signed in 2006.

To Stay Or Go?
Chuck Niemann is sitting on some valuable California real estate -- and he is not impressed. Niemann, 68, owns the 38-employee George T. Hall, an $11 million distributor of control panels for industrial heat and air-conditioning systems. Niemann's 15,000-square-foot facility sits smack within Anaheim's "Platinum Triangle," defined by Disneyland, the Angels' baseball stadium, and the Mighty Ducks' hockey arena. Two years ago, Niemann's single acre might have been worth $1 million.
That was before the city rezoned his district in 2004, trying to create an urban downtown in suburban Orange County and doubling the price of land overnight. Louis Tomaselli, senior vice-president of Voit Commercial Brokerage of Orange County, is now offering Niemann $5 million for his land.
The neighboring businesses have already sold. But selling comes at a cost: higher prices for the next piece of real estate, higher taxes on that property, moving costs, changing phone numbers and addresses, and possibly lost business when customers can't find the company and go to a competitor.
As major cities rezone old industrial areas to make way for residential and mixed-use development, more business owners are finding themselves in situations similar to Niemann's. The value of their property has shot up, and their neighborhood is changing as landowners sell out. Yet they had planned on continuing the business and maybe even passing it on to their children. "We've got a management team that's been with me 35 years," says Niemann, who says it isn't worth it for him to sell, even at current prices. "They're like my kids. And then we've got my daughter coming up behind them. She is the generation that's going to be running this company someday."
Business owners are under particular pressure in Denver, Detroit, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, Washington, Houston, and New York, says Dean Schwanke, vice-president with the Urban Land Institute in Washington. For those whose businesses are struggling, or for would-be retirees without clear successors, the higher real estate values are no doubt a boon. By buying out small business owners, Jeff Fuqua, president of development for Atlanta's The Sembler Co., says his company has "made multi-millionaires out of scores of people -- scores -- who were just gutting it out making a living."
Sometimes the few business owners who stay manage to eke out some benefits from the development around them. Tim Mealer is the owner of A&A Locksmith on Atlanta's Ponce De Leon Avenue, just next to one of Fuqua's new mixed-use developments. Since plans for the development were announced in 1990, land values in the area have gone from about $700,000 an acre to $3 million.
Mealer, 39, took over the lock and key shop 14 years ago. He says he has had several inquiries about buying his property over the past five years but isn't interested. "My father meant a lot to me," says Mealer, whose dad owned the company for 40 years and passed away in 2001. "This business means a lot to me." The renaissance nearby -- and the accompanying spree in loft building -- has been quite good for sales. And what would a mixed-use development be, after all, without plenty of small businesses?

OROVILLE >> A five-page draft letter responding to numerous comments, findings and recommendations by the 2013-14 Butte County Grand Jury will be reviewed Tuesday night at a meeting of the Feather River Recreation and Park District board of directors.
Two other items placed on the agenda for Tuesday's meeting deal with terminating the district's lease of Bedrock Park in exchange with using the Municipal Auditorium and a letter from the Department of Water Resources in response to the removal of 10 picnic tables from Riverbend Park for use at the new Berry Creek Community Center.
The Grand Jury investigated the district from July 2013 through June 2014. The report was accidently released early online and officially released two days later.
Shortly after the report was released the board of directors set up a committee to draft a formal response to the jury's findings and recommendations that is due by the end of this month.
Referring frequently to recommendations from four previous grand juries, the 2013-14 report pointed out some positive changes at FRRPD, but took the district to task for failing to adopt a long-term financial plan as recommended by past panels.
The panel also criticized the district for its massive debt load and its purchase of the building now known as the Activity Center.
The response letter drafted by a committee offers explanations of the steps that have been taken to improve the district's finances, including attempts to restructure a loan with Bank of the West and the loan for the Activity Center.
In the letter, the board points out that in March 2013, an interim general manager was hired and ultimately a review of expenses led to drastic cuts to keep the district open.
"The district ended the calendar year with cash in the treasury and was not forced to borrow from the county in order to meet their financial obligations," the committee wrote.
The committee also wrote that the board is aware of the heavy debt and exploring steps to reduce it. Further, the committee pointed out the board members in 2010 did extensive research before buying the Activity Center.
"While the purchase can be debated, the fact is the district now owns the facility and is responsible for the debt. As mentioned previously, the board of directors and staff have this at the forefront of their mind and are constantly working towards a permanent solution for the district, not just another band aid, putting off the responsibility on future boards and staff," the letter states.
The committee also answered the 11 findings and seven recommendations the board is required to respond to.
In other business, General Manager Ann Willmann is asking the directors to terminate its lease agreement with the city of Oroville for Bedrock Park and to authorize use of the Municipal Auditorium for indoor sports activities.
Current facilities won't accommodate indoor sports, such as volleyball and basketball. It cost the district between $20,000 and $24,000 to maintain Bedrock Park.
The city would charge $78.13 per hour to rent the Municipal Auditorium.
Willmann wrote in a staff report that every effort would be made to expand programming to cover the rental costs but that the district would have to subsidize some programs.
Willmann also wants the board to review a letter recently received from the Department of Water Resources about picnic tables at Riverbend Park.
A few months ago, the board approved the transfer of 10 large concrete tables from Riverbend to Berry Creek Park.
Ted Craddock, chief of the executive division of the DWR Hydropower License Planning and Compliance Office noted that the agency and district worked together to improve Riverbend Park. The district received $5.2 million through a settlement agreement from the Oroville Dam relicensing process.
The settlement agreement was between DWR, the city, FRRPD and numerous other agencies.
Craddock stated in the letter that he was aware of the recent transfer of tables.
He wrote that while the agreement between DWR and the district doesn't specifically state improvements should remain at Riverbend Park, "it seems reasonable that the agreement intended that result."
Craddock acknowledged FRRPD owns the tables. However, DWR requests the district consider the original intent of the agreement when making future decisions regarding improvements that were funded through the agreement, the letter said.
Willmann seeks direction from the board in how to respond to Craddock's letter.
The board's meeting opens with a closed session at 4:30 p.m. in the district office at 1875 Feather River Blvd. The open session will immediately follow the closed session, but a specific time wasn't given on the agenda.

Michael Brissenden presents AM Monday to Friday from 8:00am on ABC Local Radio and 7:10am on Radio National. Join Elizabeth Jackson for the Saturday edition at 8am on Local Radio and 7am on Radio National.
AM 40th Anniversary - a look back at the history of the ABC's agenda-setting morning radio program.
Friday 25 May 2001
AM is Australia's most informative morning current affairs. It covers the stories each morning that the other current affairs teams follow for the rest of the day. Below is the program summary with links to transcripts and audio (if available).
On the back of a gaffe by one of his front benchers, Opposition Leader Kim Beazley has been forced to guarantee that Labor won't increase taxes, at least personal income taxes if it wins government. The issue stole some of Mr Beazley's thunder as he delivered his budget in reply speech in Parliament last night.
Public education proponents and charities are key targets of Labor's reply to the budget. With a take from the rich and give to the poor approach that's been welcomed by those groups, as a good start.
The Opposition is now accusing the Aged Care Minister, Bronwyn Bishop, of vanity in spending $350,000 on media monitoring in just one year. In an answer to a Senate Estimates Committee Mrs Bishop admits that she spent a quarter of a million dollars on media monitoring in just the three months of the so-called kerosene baths affai
The provisional liquidator of HIH will today report to the Federal Government on the extent of the collapse of the insurance giant. To date there have been no official estimates of the size of the losses - only a prediction that they exceed $3 billion.
After the breathtaking rise of India's software sector with all its hopes for the country's middle class comes the fall. And it's not job cut backs at home that are the problem it's the slump in California's Silicon Valley. Among those being laid off there are an estimated 40,000 Indian software experts and they're expected to return to India in coming months.
There's been a dramatic shift of power in American politics. The Republican Party has lost control of the Senate following the announcement that James Jefford from Vermont is quitting the party and will sit as independent.
Another climbing death on Mt Everest has added weight to criticism that the great peak has become dangerously over commercialised.
Mining entrepreneur, Joe Gutnick, has quit the presidency of the Melbourne Football Club. He's resigned from the top job at the oldest Australian Football League Club after failing in a court bid to stop a board meeting which would have deposed him anyway.
Who can judge the suffering of prisoners of war? In the federal budget the government announced a $25,000 payment to every Australian held prisoner of war by Japan. It was in recognition of their unique hardship.

On Saturday night, gentleman's mags Playboy and Penthouse each hope to lure big names to their Super Bowl blowouts with promises of free-flowing liquor, top DJS and of course, women wearing little more than a hanky. Using a highly unscientific point system, let's see how each stacks up.
The Penthouse Superparty
Passion Nightclub at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino
Five words: Adult Friend Finder Private Room. Penthouse writer Lainie Speiser blogged that partygoers will "get to be entertained by two Penthouse Pets at once" in an exclusive VIP area sponsored by Adult Friend Finder network, the online destination for those seeking a no-strings hookup. Access will cost you a thousand bucks, and besides the aforementioned Pets perk, includes all-you-can-drink table service all night long.
Those lacking a spare grand can purchase general admission to the club for $250-$500, or share table service for six people starting at $2,500. Twenty pets, including Pet of the Year Taylor Vixen, will break it down to beats spun by LMFAO's Red Foo and Sky Blu (the duo behind the infectious track I'm in Miami, Trick), plus plenty of other DJs and "special guests."
Total Pets attending: 20
Total DJs: 7 (so far)
Bonus points: For seemingly naughty VIP room concept, +5
Total score: 32
The Playboy Super Bowl Party
South Beach's Sagamore Hotel
After financial limbo forced Playboy to cancel their infamous annual Bowl soiree last year, anticipation for this year's party is waaaay up. On Saturday afternoon, crews will swarm Sagamore Hotel to transform it into debauchery headquarters, with a red carpet entrance, bars galore, elevated dance platforms, and ground-floor suites made over into luxe VIP cabanas. Sagamore is expected to be the future home of the only Playboy Club outside of Vegas, so think of all of this as a mere preview of what's to come.
Besides 20 hand-picked Playmates and Playboy Club Bunnies, tons of athletes and celebrities are slated to appear, including Tony Gonzalez (Falcons), Shawne Merriman (Chargers), Tiki Barber, Kendra Wilkinson and Joanna Krupa. At the center of this menagerie: the Black Eyed Peas, who have claimed the event as their official concert after party.
Looking to hop on over? You're not gonna get down this rabbit hole so easily. Tickets have been distributed only to select VIPs and business partners. You're not even getting into the hotel itself, which sold out for the weekend long ago.
Total bunnies attending: 20
Total DJs: 3
Bonus points: For getting to watch Fergie get her boom-boom-pow on, +5. For its exclusive nature and celeb factor, +10.
Total score: 38
Winner: Playboy, by a hare.
Slap the bunny logo on a Bowl party, and you get an event that celebrities can't resist and the everyman can't get into. On Super Bowl weekend, that kind of exclusivity trumps all.

BBC Review
More of the same from Black Joe Lewis – and this is a good thing.
Daryl Easlea 2011
Texas-based Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears broke through in 2009 with their stunningly immediate debut Tell 'Em What Your Name Is, which teetered on the tightrope between pastiche and homage perfectly. Full of white-hot blues, funk, Stax-influenced horns and urgent, itchy vocals, it was one of that year's nicest surprises. Above all, it was great fun.
So, how do you repeat this high concept? Reconvene the band, get the same producer (Jim Eno from Spoon) and do it all again, only this time, more so. Of course Scandalous is Tell 'Em What Your Name Is part two, but that is no bad thing. Again, in little over 30 minutes in total, there is little room to breathe. After the briefest of fade-ins, Livin' in the Jungle is an affectionate high-speed nod to Guns N' Roses' Welcome to the Jungle, with everything sounding very much business as usual. Horns blazing? Check. Impassioned, raging vocal? Check. Chiming rhythm guitar, check. Gang backing vocals? Yes, indeed. Booty City, with its breakdowns and party noises, is the album's up-tempo killer blow. Similarly successful is You Been Lyin', which strays into heavier territory and arrives complemented by The Relatives' searing gospel-influenced vocal support.
Scandalous is best, though, on its slower material. I'm Gonna Leave You is a fabulously repetitive blues with horns that build to a crescendo. Messin' sounds like an amalgamation of all the low-key acoustic numbers by The Rolling Stones on Exile on Main St. The understated menace of the title-track is especially effective. Bill Stevenson's bass stalks Lewis' vocal with great brass and frantic rhythm and lead guitars, while Eno's dubby effects on the drums add additional mystery and depth. Lewis brings a ragged charm to the album's solitary non-original, Ivory Joe Hunter's Since I Met You Baby. It's a cross between two of the well-covered track's best versions, those by Jerry Lee Lewis and Solomon Burke.
If Scandalous is not as good as its predecessor, it is simply because the surprise element of Tell 'Em What Your Name Is has gone. Glastonbury-goers: note that Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears are playing this year. They're the sort of band one stumbles across and then leaves 40 minutes later, nodding sagely, pretending they've known about them all along.

Understand Result
On my Microalbumin Urine Spot test i got 3.1 mg/dL. normal value : Less than 2.1 mg/dl. how bad is the diferince? I have type 2 diabetes ON THE HBA1C got a 5.8
Screening for elevated urine microalbumin levels for people with diabetes can be done several ways. The preferred random (or "spot") test measures both microalbumin and creatinine. The result is reported as a ratio of albumin to creatinine. Tests that measure albumin only are usually done as a 24 hour urine or timed overnight urine collection.
Talk with your diabetes provider about how to interpret the test you asked about in your question. Abnormal urine tests should be repeated several times, before deciding that the abnormal result indicates a problem.

Fierce fighting between government forces and pro-Russian rebels has killed 34 civilians over the past 24 hours in east Ukraine's Donetsk region, local authorities have said.
"Over the past day as a result of military hostilities, 34 residents of the region died and another 29 were wounded," the regional administration said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the Russian defence ministry said this morning it was conducting fresh military exercises in southern Russia.
The major test of long-range anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems will take place at the Ashuluk base in the southern Astrakhan region, several hundred kilometres from the fighting in eastern Ukraine, a spokesman told Interfax news agency.
"Today there will be around 20 launches of S-300 and S-400 rockets. The surface-to-air missile systems should provide a massive strike on the hypothetical enemy, destroying high-altitude, low-altitude and ballistic targets," the agency quoted Colonel Igor Klimov as saying.
He said the exercise would simulate a possible air and missile attack, and involve more than 800 soldiers and 200 pieces of military equipment.
The surface-to-air missile systems used in the training are different from the medium-range Buk system believed to have been used by pro-Russian separatists to shoot down Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine on 17 July, killing all 298 on board.
The West believes the Buk system was supplied by Russia, although Russia denies this and has blamed Ukraine for the tragedy.
Russia has conducted numerous military exercises this summer which the West has criticised as intending to intimidate Ukraine.

Get the boot—and then some! It's time to get rodeo-ready. Here's where.
1. Founded in 1907, the hats from family-owned Shudde Brothers (1502 FM 1489, in Brookshire) have been worn by both real and TV-made Western icons like Sam Houston and John Wayne.
2. Austin's Kendra Scott (2411 Times Blvd., and in CityCentre) recently launched her new Luxe line, which includes stunning Texas-inspired turquoise pieces, like the pavé oval bib necklace, and chunky druzy earrings.
3. Houston institution Hamilton Shirts (5700 Richmond Ave.) has long proffered bespoke dress shirts. And now H-Town dudes can do Rodeo right thanks to the company's new line, produced in collaboration with country icon Lyle Lovett. Find crisp Western-style shirts in subtle check and paisley prints.
4. Max Lang (4704 Richmond Ave.) offers built-to-order belts—like the four-piece Presidential buckle set made from sterling silver and 10K gold—for an authentic look.
5. Step into a pair of luxurious Lucchese kickers at Pinto Ranch (1717 Post Oak Blvd.). The Galleria-area store will also have a booth on-site at the Rodeo, and is bringing in Lucchese's style and fit experts to consult with customers.

Good idea This is a good way to find the best health food stores

Missing stores Seems okay but I typed in Jamba Juice and Starbucks and it missed three of the four closest of those in my area. These are not new stores so I don't know why it would be missing places.
