The EXd irons feature the largest free-standing face with the deepest undercut cavity manufactured by Exotics. The unsupported face is extremely hot and able to flex more at impact for profound distance. Pushing face flexibility even farther, engineers developed an advanced Variable Face Thickness (VFT) design that produces greater spring effect and forgiveness on more areas of the face.
The 431 stainless steel irons feature a generous offset design for added forgiveness helping players return to square at impact. The long irons (3, 4, 5, 6) have stronger lofts with low Center of Gravity (C.G.) positioning for huge distances. The C.G. in each iron is designed for perfect progression iron to iron to improve club head speed at impact.
Similar to the Exotics E8 irons, two high-density tungsten weights are positioned in the heel and toe increasing the moment of inertia (MOI) and stabilizing the clubhead even on off-center ball strikes. This added stability provides power and accuracy, even from difficult lies.

It's a Next Generation Celebration $72 For 72 Hours07/04/2001
To herald the impending arrival of the most technologically advanced aircraft to ever fly within the Australian market, Virgin Blue has launched a special $72 for 72 hours sale for travel between Brisbane and Melbourne and Brisbane and Adelaide.
From now until midnight on Monday, seats are available on ALL flights at the sale price of $72 one way, for travel from May 1 to June 21, 2001.
In keeping with Virgin Blue's promise to make its specials available en masse, thousands of seats will be offered for sale at $72, to allow as many guests as possible to make the most of the celebration.
CEO Brett Godfrey said, "the airline is gearing up to take delivery of one of the most modern, advanced aircraft in the world and we are keen to share our excitement and our new aircraft with the public. There has been much speculation in recent weeks as to the future of all the airlines currently operating in the Australian market and the new aircraft delivery confirms Virgin Blue's commitment to ensuring both Virgin Blue and low fares remain a reality for a long time to come."
The first two Next Generation aircraft will be phased into the Virgin Blue fleet in May and some of the features include leather seats and modern finishing's.
Boeing spokesperson, Ken Morton, says "The 737-700/800 models are the most up to date commercial aircraft in use, boasting state-of-the-art technology on the flight deck, in the cabin and even the engines. These aircraft have re-designed wings, fly faster are qu eter, more environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient. Much of the design and cabin features are drawn from the Boeing 777".
For Virgin Blue guests, this translates to a smoother, more comfortable ride and the lower operating costs of a brand spanking new aircraft means the airline can continue to offer the best available fares.
Brett Godfrey continued, "We think $72 is a great one-off special deal on these two key routes and we hope the price will appeal to leisure and business travellers who are looking for both good value and flexibility."
"Virgin Blue is not interested in a reckless price war, we are interested in fair play, long-term viability and genuine offers which are widely available," he finished.
While Virgin Blue will continue to offer ad hoc special deals, the deterioration of the Australian dollar relative to the US dollar is forcing the airline to re-evaluate and possibly increase existing fares.

Trigun Maximum by Yasuhiro Nightow
Summary of Trigun, from Wikipedia:
Trigun Maximum is the continuation of Trigun.Known for its Space Western theme, Trigun is about a man named " Vash the Stampede" and the two Bernardelli Insurance Society employees who follow him around in order to minimize the damages inevitably caused by his appearance. Most of the damage attributed to Vash is actually caused by bounty hunters in pursuit of the "60,000,000,000$$" (sixty billion "double dollars") bounty on Vash's head for the destruction of the city of July. However, he cannot remember the incident clearly due to his amnesia. Throughout his travels, Vash tries to save lives using non-lethal force. He is occasionally joined by a priest, Nicholas D. Wolfwood, who, like Vash, is a superb gunfighter.
As the series progresses, more is gradually learned about Vash's mysterious history and the history of human civilization on the planet Gunsmoke. The series often employs comic relief and is mostly light-hearted in tone, although the tone shifts toward darker and more dramatic situations as it draws to a conclusion. It also involves moral conflict pertaining to the morality of killing other living things, even when justified (i.e. self-defense/defending others).

Rumored Couple Alert: Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Taylor Swift is currently on tour with The Jonas Brothers.
According to sources, though, the beautiful country singer is doing more than just singing on stage with this trio. She might be actually be doing one the siblings backstage.
Swift and Joe Jonas are the latest young stars to be romantically linked to one another. Earlier this morning, we asked readers to weigh in with their thoughts on whether or not Lucas Till and Miley Cyrus were dating.
Previously, of course, Miley and Joe's brother Nick were a rumored couple. The dating merry-go-round can be awfully confusing, we know.
Let's just hope all these young stars have learned a thing or two from Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge. They need to protect themselves from a lot more than just bad press.
Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas: Rumored, gorgeous, young love.

With more mobile sales, e-retailers dealt with more competition from stores.
Stefany Zaroban
While some faced tougher price competition, Santa was good to most e-retailers this past holiday shopping season. Many of the Top 100 online merchants report strong year-over-year revenue gains and major growth in mobile traffic and sales.
CVS Caremark Corp., for example, experienced a 30% growth in traffic compared to the 2011 holiday season, with a 300% growth in mobile app usage. Online-only discounts and an increased desire among customers to avoid crowds around Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, contributed to that growth and drove strong sales earlier in the shopping season than last year, says a spokeswoman for the pharmacy retail chain. "More shoppers this season were looking to get a head start on checking off their gift lists, and that coupled with the attractive deals on CVS.com lured in shoppers earlier than usual," she says.
The same is true for other major retail chains including American Apparel Inc., which experienced a 125% growth in sales on Cyber Monday, or the Monday after Thanksgiving, and the following Tuesday, says Stacey Shulman, chief information officer and head of e-commerce. "We had anticipated four times the traffic from Cyber Monday 2011, but we ended up with 20 times the traffic," she says. She attributes American Apparel's ability to handle the increased traffic and sales to the retailer's migration, just prior to the holiday season, to a new ATG Web Commerce e-commerce platform from Oracle Corp.
The increased traffic and sales occurred without a major increase in advertising, though the retailer did double its e-mail marketing list and promoted a 20%-off site-wide sale with free shipping for orders of $50 or more. That promotion, plus the retailer's ongoing loyalty program and brand recognition, all contributed to the increased traffic and sales in the 2012 holiday season, Shulman says.
Online-only merchants also report strong results, especially when it comes to mobile commerce. Custom products e-retailer Zazzle Inc. experienced record traffic from smartphones and tablets this holiday season, 180% higher than 2011.
For Shoebuy.com Inc., site improvements and better consumer confidence in overall economic conditions drove double-digit sales gains sales in the holiday shopping season, says James Keller, executive vice president and chief marketing officer. "Black Friday and Cyber Monday were up hugely over last year. We saw good growth in average order value, up 4.9% for the quarter, and a good lift in conversion relative to last year, up a solid 5% for the holidays relative to 2011."
Smartphones brought in 10% of total traffic on Shoebuy.com, and tablets brought in another 10%. "Tablets also were driving a little shift in behavior in terms of when people shop," he adds. "It was dramatic in terms of a shift to more people shopping in the evening. We saw super-active shopping in the evening, particularly in the 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. time period."
Web-only flash sales retailer Gilt Groupe Inc., No. 49 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, experienced a 29% year-over-year sales increase for its business that includes such areas as men's, women's, kids, home and food products, says president Andy Page. He gives much of the credit for the increase to cross promotions across the flash sale retailer's product categories, repeat holiday buyers and what he calls "creative sales."
On Thanksgiving Day, for instance, Gilt offered a 9 p.m. Eastern Time sale available only to mobile consumers. The next day, Black Friday, it offered mobile-only "door buster" sales at 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. Starting at noon that day, Gilt placed "mispriced mystery products" throughout the site—such as designer goods for $20 or $40—designed to make shoppers feel they were on a treasure hunt. Gilt continued to place more of those items through its site at 3 p.m., 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Then on Cyber Monday Gilt launched a new type of sale called "FreeFall." For certain products in the women's, men's, home and taste categories, Gilt gave consumers about five to 10 minutes to buy products; the price of the products dropped until consumers bought them. During the holidays Gilt also offered a referral program that enabled Gilt members to receive $25 Gilt credits if they persuaded non-members to register with and purchase from the e-retailer.
Flash-sale newcomer and Gilt.com competitor Fab.com registered major growth in its second holiday shopping season. (Fab launched in June 2011.) Fourth quarter sales were up 400%, with 30% of sales originating from outside the U.S., according to a slide show presentation on CEO Jason Goldberg's blog. Nearly 17 products were sold per minute during the holidays, he says, compared with 5.4 products per day during non-holiday times.
Other retailers faced some new challenges this year. Web-only electronics e-retailer Newegg Inc., for instance, experienced tougher competition during the holiday season than ever before, and especially from retail chains, says Soren Mills, chief marketing officer.
"We saw brick-and-mortar stores offering to price match online competitor prices for the first time," he says. "These retailers recognized that consumers are clearly moving towards preferring to purchase products online, and this was an effort to combat the showrooming effect." Showrooming is a term used to refer to consumers that enter stores to research products, then buy them online if they can find a lower price.
Newegg would not disclose its sales results for the holiday season except to say that mobile revenue was up double digits and that the merchant is pleased overall with year-over-year performance. "This year we launched our holiday promotions pretty aggressively on November 1 and we remained very promotional throughout the holiday season," Mills says.
For gadget-friendly apparel retailer ScotteVest Inc., tablet sales were up 40% compared with the 2011 holiday shopping season, but overall revenue was flat. The stagnation was due to the e-retailer focusing on updating its e-commerce software programs during November and December, as opposed to pushing holiday promotions, says CEO Scott Jordan.
Sales of toys rose more sharply in the 2012 holiday season than in recent years both online and offline for Kazoo & Company, which operates Kazootoys.com and a single store near Denver, says president Diana Nelson. Without mentioning specific sales figures, she notes that her staff worked extra hard with Kazoo's suppliers to remain stocked with the season's hottest toys, including Magna Tile and Magformer building sets, Lego building blocks and Playmobil sets of action figures. "We were calling reps directly up through the week before Christmas to make sure our toys were always in stock," Nelson says. "That's what made a difference in sales."
Sales were also helped by Kazoo's free shipping of online orders of $49 or more, a promotion it offered throughout the year, Nelson says. Nelson adds that online toy sales remained strong through Dec. 20, followed by robust sales of gift cards through Dec. 24.
Amazon.com is No. 1 in the Top 500 Guide. CVS is No. 88, American Apparel is No. 287, Zazzle is No. 126, ShoeBuy is No. 90 and Fab.com is No. 449. ScotteVest is No. 621 and Kazootoys.com No. 495 in the Second 500 Guide.

"I've been searching for the perfect boot that would look stylish with pencil skirts, be comfortable w a nice sexy short heel, and black w/o decoration around the ankle. Saw these and loved them. Took them out of the box, wore them around the office and got many compliments. So comfortable and easy to walk in. They even have a cozy faux fur lining, the rhinesones add the perfect touch of bling, and, yes, they look sexy w/o trying. I even bought a second exact pair because it's so hard to find the perfect boot."

"This is a great quality boot, but as others have said, the calves are narrow. For some odd reason, though there are elastic inserts at the top, they are almost useless since the patent band that goes around the top is rigid and does not give. I like these boots so much I'm trying to figure out a way to remove the band and just attach the rhinestone buckle some other way."

By Brendan Conway
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s decision to list its shares in New York likely puts it outside the reach of several popular exchange-traded funds for Chinese stocks and broad emerging markets, as index-makers often require a primary listing inside China.
Cinthia Murphy of ETF.com runs down the list:
MSCI and FTSE indexes both use as one of their main security selection criteria a stock's primary listing, ETF.com analyst Dennis Hudachek recently said.
For example, the $29.7 billion iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) and the $39.5 billion Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) would most likely not include shares of Alibaba. …
Similarly, popular China-focused funds such as the $4.9 billion iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI), and the $879 million iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI) would probably not be eligible to own Alibaba shares either.
So who gets Alibaba? Murphy predicts SPDR S&P Emerging Market ETF (GMM) for broad emerging-markets ETFs because its index methodology is flexible when it comes to listing geography. For China-specific ones, she highlights PowerShares Golden Dragon China Portfolio (PGJ):
PGJ invests solely in U.S.-listed companies that derive the majority of their revenues in China, and technology companies such as Baidu, Sina and NetEase are already part of that portfolio, which is nearly 50 percent allocated to technology names.
Another is KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (KWEB):
Alibaba's U.S.-listing could prove an opportunity for relatively new-to-market KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (KWEB). KWEB focuses exclusively on China's tech sector, and was deliberately launched ahead of Alibaba's IPO.

Hey Ludo,
Even the way this functioned in 1.9 was workable - provide an HTML file as an input, and Moodle spawns all new first-pages in a wiki with it. Very useful for me when setting up group wikis which need everyone to start with tthe same template.
Not quite sure what the enhancement is which will make this so much more complex, but happy to throw in some ideas if it would help
Is Ludo still working on the Wiki in 2.0? This and three other Wiki improvements I've logged since May (five months ago now) don't seem to have been touched at all, and this one in particular is an important one for the users I speak to in terms of being able to have the Moodle wiki as something actually worth using. Shame, since the Wiki overall looks much better, but these stalled changes are having a big impact when I try and talk wikis with users upgrading to 2.0.
Hi Mark,
we are still behind wiki 2.0. And Jordi Piguillem is updating code on a regular basis.
We have been very busy las two months in non moodle related issues, but we still have an eye put on the wiki and I am really aware of the things we still have to do on the wiki.
Hi Ludo,
Any hints on when this might get some attention?
Thanks again,
Just my monthly check in on whether this is still on the roadmap or not - any update appreciated.
Any word on this issue? Page templates can transform a wiki into a real power tool in a course. I used wiki templates a lot in 1.9 and am really missing this feature in 2.0!
Amen Stephen - its disappointing that there hasn't been a response from the developers since November 2010.
Hello, I manage two moodle 1.9 courses of 250 students in each course. For some of the tasks they work in groups of 3 using the standard wiki module. The ability to load a standard template makes this workable. Also the 1.9 Wiki understands groups, which the new version doesn't (see
MDL-27037). It's not even possible to delete pages ( MDL-23520). No working Wiki, no upgrade.
Hi, Ludo:
I'm testing NWiki for Moodle 1.9 and I'm really liking everything I'm seeing-- impressive work-- except for the lack of page templating. You say here...
...that in 2010 you had to take page templates out of NWiki for 1.9. Is that correct?
Is there any way you can enable even just a wiki first page template for NWiki 1.9? A teacher's ability to scaffold ("sketch out" and structure) an activity through page templates is very, very important-- crucial-- in making a wiki a successful and productive learning activity. Even teaching simple wiki markup to newbie students is so much easier and obvious if they can start with a wiki page already loaded with some content-- example markup they can directly inspect and experiment with by simply hitting the Edit tab.
Just wondering. I do appreciate the great work and talent you and your team have invested into NWiki. Thanks.
We are development a possible solution for this feature request. We will pots a patch for review within the week
Stephen, we decided to lock down the development of nwiki. Now we are only addressing bugs. All development goest into Wiki for moodle 2.0

OK. Just thought I'd ask. Good luck with your work.
All the best...
Hello Ludo,
Good to see that you and your team are now working on this and other Wiki related issues in version 2.
Although this issue has been logged as a "New Feature", for me it's a bug since the ability to create wiki pages out of a template was a feature that existed in the standard Wiki module in 1.9. Upgrading to Moodle 2 only to discover that standard features have been removed is really depressing. As a Moodle Admin and an advocate of upgrading, the disappearance of standard features makes my job really hard.
I would second Peter's comments and concerns. This issue MDL-22433 is presently mislabeled and mis-prioritized (if that's a word in English).
(1) Mislabeled: Wiki page templates "not working" is a bug, not a new feature. Wiki page templates are an old feature that needs to be brought forward from Moodle 1.9 into Moodle 2. Page templates are a very common feature found in most wikis elsewhere. From a teacher's perspective, page templates are crucial in scaffolding wiki assignments for students.
(2) Mis-prioritized: The current inability of Wiki 2 to support page templates is literally a BLOCKER (not a minor) issue. No page templates means teachers can't effectively use Wiki 2 or for me even Moodle 2.
I used Moodle 2.0+ in my writing classes during the Spring 2011 semester. While there's lots I like in Moodle 2, Wiki 2's current inability to support page templates (and groups fully) forced me to return in Summer 2011, Fall 2011, and onwards to using Moodle 1.9.12+ and wait until Wiki 2 is really "ready for prime time" before I try upgrading again. While I regret losing the ability to use Workshop 2.0 (functional enough now to use in live courses and a large improvement over a still usable [with caveats] Workshop 1.9), eWiki 1.9+ is actually more functional (that is to say, more usable and productive with real students in live courses) than Wiki 2 in its current state.
I am absolutely confident the Moodle programmers and community as they have in the past will develop solutions to these challenges. In this comment here, I'm just trying to clarify and underline the importance of wiki page templates in Wiki 2.
Like Stephen and Peter (and other people), i think it's really a blocker issue !
It's a usefull feature, used a lot in Moodle 1.9, and i can't imagine doing without it...
Its exactly one year since I added this tracker item - how time flies. Totally agree with the comments above that this is not a new feature - it is the implementation of an existing feature which is a critical one for anyone who was attempting to use templates in 1.9.
Bitterly disappointing that this, and most other tickets relating to the wiki, appear to be permanently stalled, particularly when a well functioning wiki would seem to be a fairly elementary part of a constructionist learning model...
Would really like to see this fixed. We tried different 'work arounds' with the wiki option for this semester but it hasn't been very successful - lots of student complaints. We are removing the wiki's and replacing them will assignment uploads but with much regret.
Nearly one year later, still the same problem with Moodle 2.3.
Our users are asking about that : in 1.9, everything was Ok, but with Moodle 2.x, you need to copy/paste the initial page for EACH user!
And if there are a lot, it's really a pain
I am coming back to Moodle development after some years and am surprised to find that the core wiki module doesn't allow templates. I remember that this was available in 1.9. It is almost 2 years since this issue was reported and I am surprised that nothing has been done as it is such a core feature.
Hello, just over a year since my last comment on this issue. It would be good to get some kind of news re the Wiki, even if it was just to say that there are no plans to fix this bug.
Mark D, I couldn't agree with you more, "a well functioning wiki would seem to be a fairly elementary part of a constructionist learning model..."
The only good news on the wiki front that I can see is in the Roadmap doc, http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Roadmap
It says, "Wiki - Review OUWiki as a replacement for wiki in core". Still months down the line, but at least it suggests there may be some movement.
This backwards step renders many of the wiki projects I have led completely impossible. The wiki tool has become a backwater without the ability to deliver a base page.
Hi all,
Just my annual check-in to say how disappointed that such an elementary part of a wiki tool, and something which was a 'bread and butter' component of using the 1.9 wiki for anything remotely useful, has received absolutely zero attention in two years.
Feel the pain of all who have commented on this issue, and really wonder if the wiki will ever get the attention it deserves.
Like several other people, still waiting for this feature (working in 1.9) to be available again in 2.x...
As specified in Tracker issue labels (see http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Tracker_issue_labels ), this one should have "lost_functionality". Perhaps it would help...
Surprised this hasn't had more attention than it has! The ability for students to create an individual wiki that begins with pre-populated content (including scaffolding, tips, guidance, questions, styles, tables and templates) offers such a flexible activity, especially for assessment purposes!
For example, with many vocational education and training programs, learners are often expected to complete forms and follow policy and procedures specific to their industry/organisation. Wikis, being HTML based, means that they can do a lot to replicate the 'real thing'. However, expecting a learner to replicate the template is asking too much. The teacher should be able to create this for them when building the course.
Really hope this gets some attention soon. This would be a huge improvement!
We've had to abandon plans to use wiki for our incoming 1st year students because of the lack of template functionality. We've now switched those elements of the coursework to Mahara and are currently ironing out the workflow (looking forward to a probable next version Mahara release of a more intuitive copy page action thanks to very responsive discussions with their developers).
@ Andrew, all:
I share your brief for restoring template creation to core Wiki 2 (core wiki 1.9 handled it with no problems). I won't speculate on what Moodle HQ's long silence on this issue does or does not mean.
Personally, I've moved on and have been using quite happily the template-enabled OU Wiki contributed module. If you're using Moodle 2.3 or 2.4, then consider the OU Wiki as a solution. Simple to install, simple for students to use, great reporting, AND features full support for templates (yea!).
...part of the Open University set of plug-ins
Thanks a lot Stephen for mentioning the OU Wiki, I wasn't aware of it. At least we have another wiki option.
Thanks @Steven. Looks like it will be a good solution for us. Unfortunately, we are on Moodle code 2.5 and so will have to wait for a new version to be released.
@Andrew. We are the same...moving to 2.5 and still so disappointed at the loss of such a great feature from Moodle core.
Changing the status to Open and removing Assignee as there does not seem to be any recent progress on the issue. In case somebody else wants to work on this issue
Just added recent (and supported) version as concerned, as nothing as been made for this in years, and added lost_functionnality tag.
You can find recent expressions of regret for this lost functionality in this french forum : https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=325734

I thought that no-for-real-I'm-not-this-Fujitora-fellow guy would end up not confronting Luffy because he wouldn't be able to "see" the corrupt/rotten "presence" common of many other pirates (a la Boa not being able to turn Luffy to stone because he didn't lust after her), so he would never know that was Luffy. Now I don't think he will confront the Strawhats because he has found more important business to take care of in Dressrosa. I'm sure even Akainu could be happy knowing that I've-never-even-heard-of-a-Fuji'd-Torah settled a bigger matter/fish for the government.
Also, glad they separated, less all of them forget that they are supposed to be destroying a factory and rescuing a samurai. Zoro, Sanji, and Kinemon shall do this. Luffy and Franky shall handle the arena and Ace's fruit.

COLUMBIA, Tenn. — The chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority has expressed confidence in the organization following a proposal in the 2014 Obama budget last week that suggested a possible sale of the public utility.
At a Thursday board meeting, Bill Sansom said the board welcomes a proposed strategic review of the agency and any suggestions for ways to better serve the people in its seven-state region.
Sansom said he believes TVA is a good model and the review will also be good. But he also said some areas need improvement and suggested that making those improvements could help TVA in the upcoming review.
The board also approved creating an advisory council on energy resources. Among other things, the council would advise staff on energy efficiency and renewable energy.

|Bauer TUUK Lightspeed Edge Holder Senior BLACK
Lowest Price Guarantee
The Bauer Tuuk LightSpeed Black Edge Holder is the next generation from the legendary Tuuk family. The Edge holder sits 3mm taller in the the front and rear post so that the skate will not bottom out as quickly, therefore allowing palyers to turn tighter than ever before. The other update was the quick release runner system. Using the trigger located in the rear post, once this is fully compressed the runner will pop out in seconds and will be ready for a fresh pair of steel. This is ideal for the player who plays frequently on difference ice hardnesses, allowing them to switch out different steel sharpened for different rinks. The other advantage is in case of an emergency where a runner is broken in a game, the player won't miss a shift trying to swap out their steel.
- Bauer General Sizing Guidelines:
- On D width skates round skate size down to nearest whole size to determine holder size
- Example = Skate size 8.5 D would use a size 8 holder
- On EE width skates round skate size up to nearest whole size to determine holder size
- Example = Skate size 8.5 EE would use a size 9 holder
- Size 13 skates use a Size 12 holder, please order accordingly
- Replacement Holders for:
2013 Vapor / APX2, X100, X90, X80, X70 and X60
2014 Supreme / MX3, 190, 180, 170 and 160
2014 Nexus / 8000, 7000, 6000 and 5000
2015 Vapor / 1X, X900, X800, X700, X600 and X500
2016 Supreme / 1S, S190, S180, S170 and S160
2016 Nexus / 1N, N9000, N8000 and N7000

- Replacement holder for most high-end Bauer skates
- Sold individually (not in pairs)
- Holder only
- Works with all Tuuk Edge runners

Whatever It Takes
- Brief Synopsis:
- What would it take?That was the question that Geoffrey Canada found himself asking.
- Long Synopsis:
- What would it take?That was the question that Geoffrey Canada found himself asking. What would it take to change the lives of poor children--not one by one, through heroic interventions and occasional miracles, but in big numbers, and in a way that could be replicated nationwide? The question led him to create the Harlem Children's Zone, a ninety-seven-block laboratory in central Harlem where he is testing new and sometimes controversial ideas about poverty in America. His conclusion: if you want poor kids to be able to compete with their middle-class peers, you need to change everything in their lives--their schools, their neighborhoods, even the child-rearing practices of their parents.Whatever It Takes is a tour de force of reporting, an inspired portrait not only of Geoffrey Canada but of the parents and children in Harlem who are struggling to better their lives, often against great odds. Carefully researched and deeply affecting, this is a dispatch from inside the most daring and potentially transformative social experiment of our time.

Application deadline is Dec. 31.
The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food is encouraging industry groups, academia, and community based-organizations to apply for grants to assist specialty crop production. The grants are available through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service, and will be awarded to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops.
"This is an opportunity for specialty crop stakeholders to fund projects that will benefit the specialty crop industry as a whole," said Jed Christenson, Director of Marketing for UDAF. Specialty crop grants have been awarded the last two years funding 19 projects that varied from researching the use of drought tolerant native flora or controlling weeds in onions, to the use of scent baited traps in orchards to control insects in lieu of pesticides.
The deadline for submitting an application to receive a portion of the allocated $105,000 is Dec. 31. An application packet and full program overview is available on line at or by calling Jed Christenson at (801) 538-7108.
Specialty crops are defined as fruits and vegetables, dried fruit, tree nuts, and nursery crops (including floriculture).
To be eligible for a specialty crop grant from the State, projects must enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops.
Examples of "enhancing competitiveness" of specialty crops includes, but is not limited to: research, promotion, marketing, nutrition, trade enhancement, food safety, food security, plant health programs, education, buy local programs, increased consumption, increased innovation, improved efficiency and reduced costs of distribution systems, environmental concerns and conservations, product development, and developing cooperatives.

super cute
"The pink/gray combo makes your feet look super tiny and totally fashionable while sporting what is usually such a utilitarian shoe. Can't decide if they run slightly short or if it is just because it is a new shoe; had this exact shoe in the same size at the time of purchase but they seem slightly bigger (ordered these cuz I put a hole in them from wearing them so much). No matter; they will stretch out over time and are comfortable with thin socks. Love them!"

Endangered Species Act 101
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is the strongest and most important federal law protecting imperiled wildlife and plants. For nearly 40 years, the ESA has helped prevent the extinction of our nation's wildlife treasures, including beloved American icons such as the bald eagle, the Florida manatee and the California condor.
Less than one percent of the more than 2,000 plants and animals protected by the Act worldwide have ever been formerly delisted due to extinction – an astonishing success rate. The Endangered Species Act also benefits people by maintaining healthy natural systems that provide us with clean air and water, food, medicines and other products that we all need to live healthy lives. We owe it to our children and grandchildren to be good stewards of the environment and leave behind a legacy of protecting endangered species and the special places they call home.
Threats to the Endangered Species Act
Although a strong majority of Americans still hold the same conservation values that created the ESA decades ago, unrelenting pressure from various commercial industries and ultra-conservative political interests continue to threaten this vital piece of environmental legislation, attempting to override or severely weaken the Act or slash its funding to a point where it can no longer accomplish its goals. As more species are found to warrant listing under the Endangered Species Act, it is more important than ever that this vital tool for wildlife conservation be kept strong and capable of preventing extinctions and putting imperiled species back on the road to a successful recovery.
What Defenders is Doing for the Endangered Species Act
Defenders of Wildlife works on several fronts to ensure that the ESA can continue to prevent extinctions and promote imperiled species' recovery. We develop new ways to make the act more effective, advocate to protect and increase federal funding for the ESA, oppose all legislative attacks that would weaken the law, and make sure that those responsible for implementing the Act's provisions and regulations are held accountable when they fail to enforce the law.

Toulon will face Saracens in the Heineken Cup semi-finals after beating Leicester Tigers 21-15 at Stade Félix Mayol on Sunday.
Toulon will face Saracens in the Heineken Cup semi-finals after beating Leicester Tigers 21-15 in an enthralling clash at Stade Félix Mayol on Sunday.
Jonny Wilkinson kicked six penalties and a drop-goal to Toby Flood's five penalties in a hard-fought encounter on the French south coast.
There may not have been any tries but, unlike the dour quarter-final at the Stoop earlier in the day, there was no lack of excitement.
Tigers dominated at both set-pieces in the first-half but were unable to contain Toulon's ability to move the ball with pace and power as the hosts turned up the tempo in the second-half.
Leicester led 9-6 at half-time as the lopsided penalty count left Toulon struggling to get out of their own half.
But yellow cards on either side of the interval robbed Leicester of momentum and though they battled hard, few would argue that Toulon weren't deserved winners.
The first scrum penalty went against the home side's tighthead, Carl Hayman, at the second set-piece. Flood struck it sweetly from long range to give the Tigers an early lead.
Steffon Armitage looked bemused (and rightly so) when he was blown up shortly afterward for entering a ruck from the side to allow Flood to make the lead six points after fifteen minutes.
Leicester were awarded three penalties at the first four scrums and Flood again hit the target from nearly 50 metres out to further stretch the lead.
It wasn't much better for the hosts at line-out time either as the English visitors had stolen three on RCT's throw by the end of the first quarter.
However the tide turned around the half-hour mark when first Toulon were given their first scrum penalty and then Flood was shown a yellow card for an intentional knock down. Wilkinson put the hosts on the scoreboard to the relief of the boisterous home crowd before adding a second penalty when Dan Cole killed a flowing Toulon move with a hand on the deck.
Flood returned from the sin-bin just in time to miss a penalty and see Tom Croft hobble off with a back injury on the verge of half-time.
Wilkinson levelled the scores early in the second period after Ed Slater cynically took out Steffon Armitage off the ball.
'Wilko' maintained his perfect record from the kicking tee to put Toulon in front for the first time as the Tigers began to bleed penalties at the breakdown.
Tigers survived a series of close calls when Wilkinson missed a long-range drop before Adam Thompstone tackled Mathieu Bastareaud into touch in the act of going over the try-line.
Bakkies Botha also thought he had scored but referee George Clancy called former Bok lock back for making a second movement on his way to the line.
Flood squared the scores at 12-12 just before the hour mark when Toulon were off their feet trying to run out of their own 22.
But Leicester immediately fell behind again when Cole imitated his skipper by seeing yellow for the same offence and Wilkinson landed his fifth penalty.
The opposing fly-halves traded penalties to leave the game on a knife-edge at 18-15 going into the final 15 minutes.
Of course it had to be Wilkinson that landed the killer blow and his drop-goal in the dying minutes sealed the deal for Toulon.
The scorers:
For Toulon:
Pens: Wilkinson 6
Drop: Wilkinson
For Leicester :
Pens: Flood 5
Yellow cards: Flood, Cole
Toulon: 15 Delon Armitage, 14 Rudi Wulf, 13 Mathieu Bastareaud, 12 Matt Giteau, 11 Alexis Palisson, 10 Jonny Wilkinson (c), 9 Sébastien Tillous-Borde, 8 Chris Masoe, 7 Steffon Armitage, 6 Juan Fernandez Lobbe, 5 Nick Kennedy, 4 Bakkies Botha, 3 Carl Hayman, 2 Sebastien Bruno, 1 Andrew Sheridan.

Dareus delayed in getting back to Bills camp
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 22 2014 11:35AM
Through the first five days of training camp at St. John Fisher College, one of the biggest storylines have been about stud defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and when he'll be able to get back on the field for practice. After having been excused from the team on Monday to attend a court hearing in Alabama, Dareus was expected back on Monday evening.
Mother nature got in the way, apparently, and disallowed Dareus' return to the team. Head coach Doug Marrone told reporters following Tuesday's practice that the flight for Dareus back to the team had been delayed until Tuesday morning due to inclement weather, and now they have the full expectation that the defensive tackle will be back in Pittsford, NY at some point in the day.
Dareus flew down to Alabama to officially be accepted into a pretrial program that could result in his felony charges being dropped if successfully completed. He was arrested and charged with two felony counts in May for possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.
Adding another layer to the story, Dareus also hasn't been able to take the field for the team after a failed conditioning test on Saturday. The team said they'll continue to evaluate him and determine when they believe he'll be ready to take the test again. No timetable has been given, but the Bills remained confident that he'll get back on the field.
Dareus rejoins the team for practice on Wednesday at 8 am, and will likely work with trainers to the side of the session.

Haha. Probably outright saying I'm not meaning in a perverted way makes more of a case toward that idea than if I had simply left it alone. Eh...jest as you will lol
I just think the hat and sun dress or whatever are a very fitting look for Robin. They make her look intelligent, womanly, and dangerous all at once. The un-comfortableness with how thorough/audacious the dwarves are around her is just pure comedy for someone as seemingly dark as Robin. Hopefully it continues!
Back to more of the chapter events, does anyone else feel like they were robbed of something this chapter? Sure Oda gave an update to basically every plotline currently going on this arc, which was nice, but coming off a break, the chapter felt lacking...maybe it was the poor quality of the scans or the mediocre (cough terrible cough cough) translations that weakened the chapter for me. Even the last page with Luffy Hawk Rifling Chinjao made me feel like "Meh, so what?" It was almost as if Oda was trying too hard to give everyone a bit of what they wanted.....idk. Thoughts?

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most
of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of
Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including
Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface
mineral estate throughout the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011,
recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more
than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000
American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that
collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion
will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a
$1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the
health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment
of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by
managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing,
mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural,
historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.

With the arrival of the first wave of F-35 Lightning II fighter jets at Luke Air Force Base just months away, construction is under way on facilities where pilots will be trained and the planes will be maintained.
In all, Air Force executives have projected a $265 million, seven-year construction program specifically to accommodate the F-35 pilot-training program at the base in west Glendale.
The build-up will allow Luke to serve as the permanent training base for 144 of the single-engine stealth jets that military analysts say will be crucial to U.S. air-defense operations for the next 40 years.
The construction is scheduled to be completed in six major phases to coincide with the arrival of six squadrons of F-35s and the departure of six squadrons of older F-16 fighter jets that are relocating elsewhere.
"It's going to be sort of a Jenga puzzle game for a while," said Lt. Col. Scott Fredrick, who is heading Luke's F-35 transition team.
The first F-35 assigned to Luke is expected to arrive between January and March.
Luke's first F-35 also is expected to be the 100th production F-35 manufactured by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co., in Fort Worth, Texas, ticking off two important milestones for the F-35 program simultaneously, Fredrick said.
The rest of the planes in Luke's first 24-plane squadron are expected to be delivered in groups of one to four throughout 2014, said Lockheed Martin spokesman Michael Rein. Each plane takes about two years to assemble and costs $65 million, he said.
The high-dollar construction program associated with the jets at Luke will boost the entire Valley's economy, said Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers.
"It's certainly a benefit. I do believe it's the whole region. I think it's going to be literally across the Valley. There will be people out there working and supplies bought from all over," he said.
Construction crews already are bustling to transition the base for the newest generation of fighter planes.
Luke has 137 F-16s. The first two squadrons of F-16s are scheduled to relocate to Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo, N.M., in 2014 and 2015.
However, F-35 instructors, trainees and crews cannot simply move into existing facilities as the F-16s and their personnel move out, Fredrick said.
The F-35s feature more advanced technology and different equipment than the F-16s, which requires support facilities tailored specifically to accommodate them.
Some buildings and infrastructure systems are being retrofitted for the F-35s, but most of the work involves new construction. Overall, plans call for new buildings associated with each of the six squadrons, plus several smaller projects, such as improvements to hangars and warehouses.
The construction work is being directed by the Army Corps of Engineers, which oversees military construction and major civil-works projects worldwide.
The first phase features three major buildings — a classroom building called the Academic Training Center, a squadron headquarters called the Squadron Operations building and a workshop building called the Aircraft Maintenance Unit.
Work is under way on all three buildings.
The classroom building eventually will be used by all six squadrons of pilots-in-training, but each of the six squadrons will get their own operations and maintenance buildings.
The Academic Training Center alone is budgeted for $54 million. The L-shaped building will house classrooms, an auditorium, administrative offices and perhaps most importantly, a dozen F-35 cockpit simulators.
The structure is scheduled to open with two simulators in August 2014; the remaining simulators will be added as additional squadrons arrive later, Fredrick said.
The simulators essentially are life-size, three-dimensional video games that allow student pilots to get time behind the controls of an F-35 without leaving the ground.
The simulators are especially valuable for teaching beginning skills, such as how to start the aircraft and how to handle preflight communications with ground crews and tower personnel without burning through hours and hours worth of jet fuel, Fredrick said.
In addition, instructors can prepare trainees for a variety of flight situations by programming an array of weather conditions, in-flight mechanical malfunctions and attacks by enemy combatants, all without the risk of losing lives or property.
"That's exactly where you want young pilots to make their mistakes," Fredrick said.
The $10 million Squadron Operations building will be the primary place where pilots prepare for flights. The building will feature a theater-style briefing room and space for pilots to program their planes' computer systems before takeoff.
"You put 30 guys in the room who are going to fly at 10 o'clock today and you tell them what the weather is, what the restrictions are, and out they go," Fredrick said.
The most sensitive equipment in the operations building will be housed in "the vault," a densely constructed high-security section that's designed to keep inquiring minds inquiring indefinitely, he said.
The $6 million Aircraft Maintenance Unit involves a renovation and addition to an existing building. When complete, it will accommodate ground crew members, who will use it to store tools, parts and electronic records.
"Those are the maintainers that actually check out a toolbox, walk out to the aircraft and get it ready to fly," said Senior Master Sgt. Don Stroud, who serves as the maintenance group leader for the F-35 program.
The majority of work on the F-35s will be handled on the flight deck, under metal shade structures that originally were built to shade F-16s.
Record-keeping is critical, he said. Ground crews will generate 30 to 40 pages worth of detailed documents every day for every jet. That work will be handled at banks of computers in the structure.
The operations and maintenance buildings are positioned side by side to facilitate greater communication and camaraderie among the pilots and the ground crew members, Fredrick said.
Starting with the second squadron, the operations and maintenance facilities will be combined in new $18 million, two-story buildings. Those will come on line as the subsequent squadrons arrive.
"It's going to be a hard-hat area out here for many years," Fredrick said.
Foreign military pilots also will train at Luke. The first F-35 squadron will be comprised of U.S. and Australian pilots. Italian, Turkish and Norwegian pilots are scheduled to join the mix in 2015.

The Shoreline Community College men's basketball team got a big win on Saturday night in the Everett Community College gym, as they pulled out a 114 to 110 win over the Trojans and put themselves into a good position to return to the NWAACC Men's Basketball Championship, as any combination of one SCC win this week or a North Seattle CC loss, puts the Dolphins back into the NWAACC Championship tournament.
The Dolphins playing without starting point guard Avery Scharer, who was out with a sprained ankle, got 26 points from Earlie Dixon and Joe Bodman dominated the boards, collecting 15 rebounds in the victory. Kelly Hong scored 20 points, 18 from 3 point range and the trio of Will Acromite, Anthony Edwards and Bodman, scored 14, 13 and 12 respectively, in the usual SCC balanced attack.
Shoreline led 54-48 at half, but the stubborn Everett squad would never let SCC get away from them, as they almost matched SCC from 3 point range, 39 to 33 in points, but SCC dominated the boards, 66 to 51 in rebounds and points off turnovers 37 to 26 and SCC's depth outscored ECC from the bench, 41 to 22.
SCC is now 16-9 for the season, 10-4 in the region. Everett drops to 4-19 and 1-12. SCC is still in third place in the region, 1/2 game behind Peninsula College for second place in the NWAACC Northern Region and 1/2 game ahead of Bellevue College.
Shoreline plays Peninsula on Monday at 6:30 PM in the SCC Gym and then travels to Bellevue College on Wednesday night to face the Bulldogs in SCC's last regular season game. SCC has a bye on Saturday, the last weekend of NWAACC play. SCC can finish no worse than a tie 4th place now, which would force a play-in game between the two teams tied for the last championship spot. SCC can still finish has high as second with a win over Peninsula College on Monday and other games falling across the region during the week falling into place.
Peninsula will enter Monday's game with a 20-4 record, 10-3 in the region, and the Pirates are ranked 5th in the NWAACC. SCC dropped a 116 to 106 game to Peninsula at PC back in January. PC features the league's 2nd leading scorer, J.T. Terrell, a Wake Forest University transfer.

atomic bomb
atomic bomb or A-bomb, weapon deriving its explosive force from the release of nuclear energy through the fission (splitting) of heavy atomic nuclei. The first atomic bomb was produced at the Los Alamos, N.Mex., laboratory and successfully tested on July 16, 1945. This was the culmination of a large U.S. army program that was part of the Manhattan Project, led by Dr. Robert Oppenheimer. It began in 1940, two years after the German scientists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman discovered nuclear fission. On Aug. 6, 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima with an estimated equivalent explosive force of 12,500 tons of TNT, followed three days later by a second, more powerful, bomb on Nagasaki. Both bombs caused widespread death, injury, and destruction, and there is still considerable debate about the need to have used them.
Atomic bombs were subsequently developed by the USSR (1949; now Russia), Great Britain (1952), France (1960), and China (1964). A number of other nations, particularly India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea now have atomic bombs or the capability to produce them; South Africa formerly possessed a small arsenal. The three smaller Soviet successor states that inherited nuclear arsenals (Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Belarus) relinquished all nuclear warheads, which have been removed to Russia.
Atomic bombs have been designed by students, but their actual construction is a complex industrial process. Practical fissionable nuclei for atomic bombs are the isotopes uranium-235 and plutonium-239, which are capable of undergoing chain reaction. If the mass of the fissionable material exceeds the critical mass (a few pounds), the chain reaction multiplies rapidly into an uncontrollable release of energy. An atomic bomb is detonated by bringing together very rapidly (e.g., by means of a chemical explosive) two subcritical masses of fissionable material, the combined mass exceeding the critical mass. An atomic bomb explosion produces, in addition to the shock wave accompanying any explosion, intense neutron and gamma radiation, both of which are very damaging to living tissue. The neighborhood of the explosion becomes contaminated with radioactive fission products. Some radioactive products are borne into the upper atmosphere as dust or gas and may subsequently be deposited partially decayed as radioactive fallout far from the site of the explosion.
See disarmament, nuclear; hydrogen bomb; nuclear strategy; and nuclear weapons; see also nuclear energy.

Random thoughts as the sun goes up and down: • Well before 7 a.m. Wednesday, when Ole Miss fans were all abuzz about the Rebels' impending best National Signing Day ever, Dean of Students Sparky Reardon posted a gentle elbow in the ribs of his constituents: "For all the students on Facebook at this time of day, I never want to hear you complain about 8 a.m. classes. That is all."
• Some retirement-aged folks are getting upset at the idea that Social Security, into which they paid their whole working lives, is now considered an entitlement program, equating it with "welfare."
The problem is not the word "entitlement," which simply means something one is owed – which, for people who have paid payroll taxes their whole adult lives, would seem to apply to Social Security. The problem is that we are no longer able to distinguish the differences between paying those to whom something is owed, helping those who cannot help themselves and continuing to foster dysfunction and despair among those who need leading more than feeding.
• Apparently being 21 years of age, putting one's name on a public registry and having to wait up to two weeks to exercise one's constitutionally explicit right are just the beginning of "common sense limitations" on buying a firearm, but parental permission and a 24-hour waiting period somehow constitute an intolerable shredding of rights for a 15-year-old whose adult boyfriend wants her to have an abortion.
• On a related note, WGN-TV viewers were moved by the story of a mare saved a few years back by a Chicago-area horse rescue group from what was purported as a short future at the slaughterhouse. Turned out that the mare was with foal, so two horses were rescued in one act. Someone recognized the stud's bloodlines and next week the foal, now age 3, will run its first official race.
Amazing how easily we are charmed by the story of a surprise baby horse and its potential and miss the wonder in surprise babies and theirs.
• Even if a librarian has to show you how to get on the Internet, please visit www.waterislife.com and watch their video of Third World people reading First World problems. The site raises funds to provide safe water in poor countries.
This dead-serious spoof of our self-consumedness is convicting. Among others, one Haitian child sitting on a pile of rocks by a windowless house mouths the all-too-American complaint, "I hate when my leather seats aren't heated" or another child, who may not be used to three meals a day, saying, "I hate it when I say no pickles, and they still give me pickles."
Bet it makes you admit, as it did me, that sometimes we are so ungrateful.
