This specialized strain of raw Chlorella algae has a thin cell wall allowing it to be easily digested. It is aseptically grown in closed stainless steel tanks completely eliminating the possibility of contamination from outside sources including microbes, pollution, toxic substances, and heavy metals. The thin cell wall increases digestibility by 80-90%+ over that of normal chlorella. This naturally thin cell wall chlorella powder does not need to undergo a separate process to break the cell wall which, can potentially damage the nutritional content. A secondary advantage of the advanced pure tank cultivation is that the chlorella has a naturally improved taste and smell when compared to those grown in open ponds. This strain is especially rich in chlorella growth factor (CGF) as well as vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, and other phytonutrients. Our raw thin cell wall chlorella contains absolutely no added binders, fillers, or flow agents.
If you are looking for a supplement to maintain overall health with additional cleansing properties, you'll want to add thin cell wall raw Chlorella to your nutritional program. Chlorella is an emerald green, single-celled freshwater microalgae widely recognized as one of the most potent nutritional whole foods on Earth. Each chlorella cell is a self-sufficient organism with all the plant's life functions taking place inside the cell. The result - an unusually high concentration of important nutrients. This tiny plant contains the highest known quantity of chlorophyll within a natural source. Chlorophyll is the 'green blood' of all plant life and has a chemical structure very similar to our own red blood molecules. Chlorophyll supports the transportation of oxygen around the blood supply and builds the red blood cell count. It nourishes and purifies the blood stream, kidneys, liver and bowel. Scientists and medical professionals have long recognized the importance of chlorophyll in the diet as a possible bowel supporting agent and natural deodorant, and topically as a wound-healer. Many green foods are good sources of chlorophyll, but results of recent laboratory tests show that Chlorella has more than five times more milligrams of chlorophyll per serving than wheat grass, twelve times more than barley and nearly 10 times more than alfalfa.

● High Digestibility / Thin Cell Wall
● Aseptically cultivated
● Consistently superior quality

I just finished reading the third book A Storm of Swords about a half an hour ago, and I think that this book was the best of them so far. I'm starting the fourth book right now, because I can't wait until tomorrow.
The last series of fiction that I read was Stephen King's Dark Tower, and I used to think that it was pretty dark and full of plot twists. Compared to A Song of Ice and Fire though, Dark Tower seems quite upbeat. I just can't believe how utterly dark A Song of Ice and Fire is. So many long-term characters who just up and die with no notice. Kind of drives the point home about the ephemerality of life in general. No nonsense. That said, I read the latest Dark Tower book Wind Through the Keyhole, and it seems pretty dark compared to the other books in that series, and also a very wonderful story. I won't spoil anything outright, but I do wonder if nanotechnology could be the hidden basis for some of the unexplained "magic" that occurred in the book.
It gets me thinking about whether or not A Song of Ice and Fire might also end up being a kind of post-apocalyptic post-technology story. That would put the icing on the cake. Ninjas too. That's about the only two cool things missing from it.
In any case, both series kind of remind me of each other. Both being kind of a homage to the old tales of Arthur and Merlin and those kinds of things. So, for those of you who read A Song of Ice and Fire and Dark Tower, which is your favourite? Even if you only read one of them, which was your favourite book in these series? I am still partial to Wizard and Glass from the Dark Tower. Dave McKean did the art for that one, and it was pretty awesome.
Who are your favourite characters? From A Song of Ice and Fire, my favourite is Arya. So much nasty stuff happens to her, and by the end of the third book I was very happy about the state that her character was left in. As for Dark Tower... I know that it might sound dumb, but my favourite character is Oy the Billy Bumbler. Reading Wind Through the Keyhole only solidified it more for me. He doesn't appear too often, but when he does, it's always a treat, and he seems to always be saving someone. He's a true gunslinger, though I guess he may not have opposable thumbs per se. And it appears that having the name Ed sure is bad luck, no matter which of these fictional universes you belong to! ;)
I also hear that Javier Bardem (the killer from No Country for Old Men) is going to play Roland in the film adaptation of The Dark Tower. I kind of always envisioned Clint Eastwood playing Roland, but it's all good. I just hope they have a billion or so dollars (literally) to throw at the special effects, otherwise they might as well not even bother, because it'll just be a pathetic mangled mess. Ron Howard is producing it, so I'm hopeful.
Oh, and if you ever read Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub (another wicked book, definitely my favourite King book outside of the Dark Tower series), and you also read Wind Through the Keyhole... did the Black House and the house in the forest glimpsed in the boy's vision kind of seem like maybe the same house? That sneaky Stephen King!

Interview: Dr. Blair Witherington on Oil's Impact on Turtles in the Gulf of Mexico
Posted On December 23, 2013 by Matt Love
(This blog is part of a series of interviews with scientists who are championing marine research in the Gulf of Mexico.)
A research scientist with more than 24 years of experience in sea turtle biology and conservation, Dr. Blair Witherington has worked with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute since 1992. He is also an adjunct assistant professor, department of zoology, University of Florida; served as president of the 20th International Sea Turtle Symposium; and is vice chair of the Northwest Atlantic region of the Marine Turtle Specialist Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. He has authored or contributed to more than 40 scientific articles, monographs and book chapters. In addition, he has written five books on sea turtles and other natural history subjects.
The BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster had an immediate and particularly harmful effect on early juvenile sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico. The worst marine oil spill in history also served to highlight a compelling need for assessments of open-sea habitats – research critically lacking in 2010, yet essential for conservation efforts and restoration planning.

Story highlights
- Fairy tale-themed underwater art exhibits go live at two Maldives resorts
- Plexiglas-encased artworks are priced at $15,000 each
- Viennese artist Andreas Franke specializes in exhibitions on shipwrecks
Personally, we'd rather not have anything obstructing the incredible views from a Maldives resort.
We could stare out the window for months -- especially if those windows are underwater.
But we have to admit the surreal, sea-themed fantasy art of Viennese artist Andreas Franke looks pretty cool set amid the clear waters of the Indian Ocean.
This week, two Maldives resorts launched underwater art exhibitions featuring Franke's new work.
Huvafen Fushi and NIYAMA resorts, both owned by Per AQUUM, have installed the artworks outside the windows of their respective LIME Spa and Subsix music club.
Both venues are located underwater.
Known for his ghostly underwater exhibitions on shipwrecks, the artist turned to fairy tales for his latest theme.
Titled "Phantasy Fairytale," the Maldives exhibitions feature characters from fairy tales such as "Sleeping Beauty," "The Snow Queen" and "Little Red Riding Hood," but with the backdrops changed from gloomy forests to seabeds.
In contrast to Franke's previous exhibitions, visitors aren't allowed to dive among the paintings.
Setting up the exhibition was no simple task, with divers carefully handling the Plexiglas-encased artworks, valued at $15,000 each.
The exhibits will be showing until May 31.
Each resort is offering a special four-night package to mark the event.
Huvafen Fushi; +960 66 44 222; Phantasy Fairytale package starts at $1,157 per night
NIYAMA, +960 67 62 828, Phantasy Fairytale package starts at $883 per night

One mom got the surprise of a lifetime live on "Good Morning America" this morning, as she was not only shocked by Emeril Lagasse showing up on her doorstep to deliver a very special breakfast in bed, but also meeting her 3-year-old's bone marrow donor, the woman that saved her leukemia-stricken daughter's life.
"I can't believe it," Nicole Moore, 31, Emeril's Breakfast in Bed winner said, wiping tears from her eyes. "This is amazing."
Moore's mother-in-law, Sally Moore, submitted her for Emeril's Breakfast in Bed contest, to celebrate Moore on Mother's Day for caring for her daughter and holding her entire family together through the hardest time of their lives. But she never imaged "GoodMorning America" and chef Emeril Lagasse would actually select Moore, a mom from Sanford, Fla., as the winner.
"A120-word submission and a picture, and ABC heard our story," Sally Moore told Emeril this morning. "We have made our mess our message, and I'm so proud of my daughter-in-law. She is amazing and worked so hard to get her family through this. I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much."
Emeril took the deserving mother, Nicole Moore, by the hand to lead her outside, where she was greeted by special friends, family, fellow church members, nurses from her daughter's hospital, and even Mickey and Minnie, waiting in her front yard.
"But there's somebody very special in the crowd," Emeril explained. "You are about to meet for the first time the young mom that saved your daughter's life. Kristen, the bone marrow donor."
The two women immediately embraced, as Moore mustered the words, "Thank you so much," with tears streaming from her eyes.
"There are no words to describe how grateful I am for her," Moore said. "What she did for a complete stranger is just amazing. She's my hero and I just love her so much."
Her 3-year-old daughter, Lauren, adorned in her Mickey Mouse ears, wrapped her arms tightly around Kristen Eisinger's neck, the woman who saved her life, knowing exactly who the stranger was and how important she is to her family.
"Everyone just needs to go sign up [to be a donor]. It's so important," Eisinger said.
And as if the moment couldn't have gotten any sweeter, Emeril added the icing on the cake by serving Nicole Moore, her daughter Lauren, and her daughter's donor, Kristen Eisinger, a breakfast of blueberry pancakes, fresh fruit and more in a bed on her front lawn.
Diagnosis Shatters Family's Perfect World
After Nicole Moore married her high school sweetheart, Lee Moore, in April 2007, the couple welcomed daughter Lauren, an energetic bundle of joy, into their lives,and in the summer of 2011 had another baby on the way.
"We always had the same goals," husband Lee Moore said, "We always knew we wanted a family."
It should have been the happiest time in Nicole Moore's life.
Nicole Moore was overjoyed to add an addition to their family, but as summer came to an end,her seemingly perfect world quickly and painfully began to fall apart. After weeks of being sick, Lauren, almost 2, wound up in the emergency room.
"We were able to do some blood work fairly quickly and found out that she had leukemia," said Dr. Eslin of the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando, Fla.
Lauren was diagnosed with T-cell leukemia in August 2011.
It was such a shocking diagnosis that Nicole Moore started going into early labor. As her young daughter lay in the oncology ward, Moore was rushed to the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies right across the street. Miraculously,her early labor stopped and she returned to Lauren, who would have to undergo chemotherapy. Nicole Moore quickly became an expert on Lauren's rare form of leukemia.
"Nicole,all along, had dedicated herself right from the beginning to make Lauren well," her mother, Cathy Wise, said.
A few weeks later, Nicole Moore gave birth to a healthy son, Tommy.
Now, she was juggling her sick daughter and caring for a newborn.
"That supernatural mother instinct kicked in and she completely took over. She was always just so determined that this is going to work and I'm going to give everything I got," husband Lee Moore said. "It focused everybody."
Despite rounds of chemo, it became clear that would not be enough for Lauren. While 99 percent of children with leukemia go into remission at the end of their first month of chemotherapy, Dr. Eslin said, Lauren was not responding to the treatment. Her only hope was a bone marrow transplant.
"I think that was probably the scariest time,'" sister-in-law Sarah Moore recalled. "It was terrifying because they basically told us, 'It's this or nothing. If this doesn't work, we don't have the answer.'"
A bone marrow transplant on a now-3-year-old is no easy task, and no one in the family was more than a 50 percent match.
With steely determination, Nicole Moore researched the best centers to take care of her baby girl, staying up late into the morning hours researching hospitals.Finally, the family decided on Seattle Children's Hospital - thousands of miles away from home.
"The toughest part was that we had such an amazing support system here and we couldn't pick a farther place away to go than Seattle from Orlando,basically," Lee Moore said.
Finally, the family received some good news: Doctors had found a "perfect match"for Lauren from a 24-year-old anonymous donor in the National Bone Marrow Registry.
In April2012, just eight months after her diagnosis, Nicole Moore and her family held their breath as Lauren got her transplant.
"One day, I got a text and it said, 'Lauren has counts,' which meant the bone marrow's working. And that was a big deal - a big deal," father-in-law Tom Moore recalled.
Eventually,they were able to leave the hospital, but Nicole Moore's job wasn't over.
"She had to keep her away from other children," mother-in-law Sally Moore said."She had to take her to the doctor weekly, sometimes more than weekly, she had blood drawn on a regular basis and she does this with the baby."
A year later, Lauren is thriving.
"Last year at this time, I think Nicole's only thought was, 'I just want her to have a third birthday,' and now she gets to think about college and getting married and all those things that you're supposed to get to think about,"sister-in-law Sarah Moore said.
Nicole Moore's ability to hold her entire family together through the roughest patch of their lives earned her family's deepest respect, thanks and admiration.

Guinean journalist assaulted by police, no arrests made
New York, March 8, 2012--Guinean authorities must investigate and bring appropriate charges against police officers who assaulted a journalist at the Central Bank of Guinea, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. Reporter Kounkou Mara suffered head and other injuries in the attack.
Mara, a reporter for the privately owned Le Lynx, was denied entry to the Central Bank of Guinea on February 27 despite presenting her press identity card to officers and saying she was scheduled to interview the bank's governor, according to news reports. Officials told her she posed a security threat to the bank employees, then a commanding officer ordered her to be ejected, the journalist told a local newspaper.

After yesterday's bloodbath, you'd think investors would want to take a break from selling Macau's casino stocks, maybe even scoop up some bargains.
You'd be wrong. The gaming sector is down once again.
Unlike yesterday's losses, the drops aren't huge. Melco Crown Entertainment (MPEL) has dropped 0.4% to $19.39, Las Vegas Sands' (LVS) has plunged 0.55% to $50.97 and Wynn Resorts (WYNN) has dropped 1.15% to $119.01. And like yesterday, MGM Resorts International's (MGM) stands out for not being part of the selling. Its stock has gained 2,2% to $13.03 so far today.
Still, there is some good news for the sector. According to Nomura's Charlene Liu and Michael Shen, Chinese media is reporting that the government has shut down a casino bar on tourism hotspot Hailand Island, which was trying to get into the gambling game. The casino didn't allow gambling with cash, but used a points system that could be used to pay for hotel rooms and an assortment of luxury goods. Liu and Shen note, however, that the mere existence of the casino had raised concern that the government would approve gambling outside Macau and siphon away mass-market gamblers–the major area of growth right now.
No such worries. Liu and Shen write:
We maintain our view that the chance of legalizing gambling outside of Macau in China is quite slim. We believe that the central government remains supportive of healthy industry growth in Macau and we think the reported closure in Sanya offers further evidence to support this.
RBC's John Kempf, meanwhile, argues that yesterday's 6.4% selloff in Melco was overdone. First off, the VIP decline at Melco might not be as bad as it first seemed. He writes:

Today's winner will be the No. 3 Western Division seed next week in Tampa.
By Brad Locke
Daily Journal
OXFORD – It has been a long and costly journey for Mississippi State and Ole Miss.
Both teams are quite different from last year's editions, full of youth and promise but bearing the scars of misfortune that the 2008-09 season has wrought.
For the second time this year, the rivals cross paths today in the regular season finale. Tipoff at Tad Smith Coliseum is 4 p.m.
It's been arguably a tougher road for the Rebels (16-13, 7-8 SEC). Three starters, including point guard Chris Warren, were lost early to knee injuries.
And heading into today's battle for third place in the Western Division, leading scorer David Huertas is battling a bruised foot. He missed Wednesday's win over Arkansas and will be a game time decision today.
Preseason visions of an SEC title have been long dashed, but the Rebs' season hasn't been a lost one.
Entering the teams' first matchup on Jan. 31 – Ole Miss won 67-63 in Starkville – the Rebels were 2-4 in SEC play but coming off a win against Kentucky. MSU was 4-1 in the league and a surprise contender in the West.
Both teams have had their ups and downs since.
"I thought if we had our full team we could win the league," Ole Miss forward Murphy Holloway said, "but when we had all those injuries … Coach said then he didn't know how many we might win, but he had faith in us and told us to have faith in ourselves. That's what we did."
Coach Andy Kennedy had to turn to young, unproven players like freshman Terrico White, who had never played the point. He's now a frontrunner for the SEC Freshman of the Year award, and in league games, he tops the Rebels with 18.3 points and 2.9 assists per game.
"Terrico White's one of the most difficult matchups in this league with his strength and athleticism, ability to shoot, ability off the bounce," MSU coach Rick Stansbury said. "He's just a difficult matchup no matter who you put on him."
The task of guarding White will fall to another freshman, MSU's Dee Bost. White got the best of Bost in their last meeting, scoring 18 points on 7-of-14 shooting. Bost finished with 13 on 3-of-11 shooting.
Thrust into action
Like White, Bost entered the season with no point guard experience, but he was recruited to play the position for State (18-12, 8-6).
His transition got immediately tougher when a nagging ankle injury to forward Brian Johnson, State's lone experienced senior, led Stansbury to reconfigure his starting five; he now has a four-guard set around center Jarvis Varnado.
And on Wednesday, Varnado's backup, Elgin Bailey, went down with an ankle injury that ended his season.
It's fallen on Bost to be the pacesetter for the team's adjustment. Sometimes his inexperience and impatience has shown up, other times he's played like a veteran.
Like White, he's up for the SEC top freshman honor, averaging 11.4 points and 4.3 assists per game.
"They wouldn't be sitting here in the position they're in without his continued development," Kennedy said, "and we certainly wouldn't be sitting here with seven wins in league play without Terrico White having an outstanding season."
In early January, not many folks would have forecast either MSU or Ole Miss playing each other for the No. 3 West seed in next week's SEC Tournament. But here they are, two teams limping to the finish line, having accomplished more than conventional wisdom would have allowed.

Statistics v Anecdotal Evidence – An Explanation
Perhaps my experience on the way to the railway station this morning is one explanation. As usual I cycled into the town centre from Woodland Road and, on reaching the top of Priestgate, slowed down to walking pace (Bondgate was still relatively empty) to prepare to push my bike down the narrow pavement on the one-way part of that street. Nobody on the pavement, so a short one legged scooter to the first obstruction (a traffic sign) a few metres down and I stopped to get off. An elderly couple were slowly approaching from the other direction. I waited 15 seconds or so for them to approach, did my usual pleasant "good morning" (Code of Conduct rule 3?) to let them pass, and got an immediate earful of complaints.
"Why are you not on the road?" they complained to this stationery cyclist?
"Well, because it is a narrow, one-way street full of buses", I replied. "Could you show me the cycle path, please?"
"You're just totally selfish. You shouldn't be on the pavement. You only think of yourselves", and off they went, perhaps ready to announce another "near miss". Certainly it was an unpleasant encounter.
But it also points to the problems inherent in definitions of "pavement cycling". I scootered the first few metres (one leg on ground, the other on a pedal) simply to reach a point where I could fully dismount. If I had dismounted and pushed before these elderly people passed me, as opposed to stopped, I suspect the space was too narrow (two elderly people, a bike and a dismounted cyclist) for us all to comfortably pass. Better, I thought, to stop altogether behind the obstruction, take up less space, and allow them to pass. Was I breaking the law because I was not fully dismounted?
I have always felt that consideration for others should take precedence over strict legal concepts. Good cycling always involves judgement and interpretation on the road. With so little dedicated cycling space on Darlington's streets, it is also needed on pavements. And the Home Office agrees.

Let's face it Mike, they are probably just as agitated if you were riding on the road and they were in a car. Some people just don't want cyclists anywhere, doesn't matter how respectful of other road /pavement users you are.

I think it's more that you're a minority in the UK. In Germany more people cycle so pavement cycling isn't considered as much of an issue.
As you've mentioned, people don't complain about cars on pavements that much, mostly because they all drive.
I think it has very little to do with cycling on pavements and more to do with people being grumpy because you're different.
Keep up the good work.

Richard - your comment came true this afternoon, when I accompanied some teenage girls on their way out of the town centre on Dutch bikes (looking extremely cool, and cold, by the way). An impatient motorist emerging from a town centre car park immediately starting blowing her (!!) horn at the girls because they were "taking up too much road space". This, on a 30 metre stretch of town centre road.

GU Women Fall To Gaels
Moraga, Calif. - The Gonzaga University women's basketball team opened West Coast Conference play with a heartbreaking 79-78 overtime setback at Saint Mary's College Saturday afternoon. The 24th ranked Bulldogs, who fell to 10-3 on the year with the loss, dropped its first opening league game since the 2002-03 campaign. The Gaels improved to 11-1 overall with the victory.
It was a wild ending to regulation as Saint Mary's Jackie Nared looked to have won the game with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer but after official review, there was .3-seconds put back on the clock with SMC up 72-71.
After a timeout called by Zag head coach Kelly Graves, junior Lindsay Sherbert – the screener on the inbounds play - was fouled before the ball even got in play and was sent to the line for the bonus. Sherbert sank the first free throw to tie the game at 72 but missed the second which then sent the game into overtime; the first overtime contest for the Zags this season.
Gonzaga's Danielle Walter, who was inserted into the game after starting point guard Jazmine Redmon went down with a high ankle sprain early in the second half, hit a jumper to start overtime and a 3-pointer with three minutes remaining to give the Zags a two-point advantage at 78-76.
Saint Mary's Danielle Mauldin was fouled on the next play and sank one of two free throws to cut the Zags edge to one with 2:39 left. After Gonzaga couldn't covert on the next three field goal attempts, Mauldin was again fouled and sank both free throws – her 13th and 14th of the contest – to give the Gaels the lead at 79-78 with 1:13 to play.
Walter and Saint Mary's Kate Gaze traded turnovers, resulting in Gonzaga holding possession with 20 seconds on the clock. Senior Haiden Palmer missed the jumper but a tie-up once again resulted in the Zags earning possession with five seconds remaining. The inbounds play under the basket went to Palmer on the baseline but her jumper was short and the Gaels escaped with the overtime victory.
Gonzaga had led since Palmer's six points fueled a 12-2 run to close the half for a 37-32 lead. The Bulldogs largest lead was 10-points in the second half – after Palmer opened the second half with a 3-pointer and steal and layup to put to score at 42-32.
Palmer scored a game and career-high 31 points – becoming the 13th player in school history to record a 30-plus point game. She also chipped in four steals, three blocks, two rebounds and one assist. Walter added a career-high 14 points, all coming in the second half, and had three assists and one steal.
Nared scored 27 points for the Gaels, hitting 10-of-20 from the field, including 6-of-9 on 3-pointers, while Mauldin had 24 points with 23 rebounds – 10 offensive.
Gonzaga lost the battle of the boards 54-31 and at the free throw line as Saint Mary's sank 23-of-29 and the Zags were only 6-of-14. Three of the Bulldogs misses came in the final 28 seconds of the second half – each the second free throw of the bonus.

Ognjen Topic the Latest to Sign Exclusive Lion Fight Deal
- Written by Dave Walsh
Lion Fight is a rising promotion here in the United States that has been doing a lot to move Muay Thai forward in the country. That is a big deal, as Muay Thai and Kickboxing have sort of floundered there in the United States after the momentary rise and fall of Kickboxing in the late 80's/early 90's. Lion Fight have been securing their talent into exclusive fight contracts to ensure that they are on their upcoming shows and to help build their brand. There will always be pros and cons involved with this, but everyone is different and have different needs.
We've already seen Kevin Ross, Malaipet Sasiprapa and Tiffany Van Soest sign exclusive deals and now Ognjen Topic is the latest to do so. This comes a day after Joe Schilling announced via his Facebook that he was effectively "done" with Lion Fight due to them pushing him to sign an exclusive contract with them. While it is not official yet, it looks like this will be the second Lion Fight card in a row that Schilling will be removed from, this time probably not to return due to severing ties with the company.
Ognjen Topic will fight at Lion Fight 10 on July 26th against Coke Chunhawat live on AXS TV.

Project for the Innocent Secures Freedom for Man Wrongfully Convicted of Murder
Kash Delano Register, who spent 34 years in prison after being convicted of a murder he did not commit, was freed from jail on Friday, Nov. 8. A judge threw out his conviction after a team of lawyers and law students from the Loyola Law School, Los Angeles Project for the Innocent successfully argued that Register, 53, was wrongfully convicted of murder in 1979. Kash's story was covered by the news media (see box at right), and was recently documented in a Slate story by Clinical Professor Lara Bazelon, director of the clinic.
The release came just one day after Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Katherine Mader found at the conclusion of a hearing conducted at L.A.'s Airport Courthouse that Register's due process rights were violated by the prosecution's failure to disclose exculpatory evidence and its use of false testimony at trial.
"I just want to thank everyone who believed in me," Register said as he walked out of the Inmate Reception Center of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles and was greeted by the Loyola attorneys and law students who assisted him.
Register visited the Loyola Law School campus on Wednesday, Nov. 13 to thank the students and attorneys who worked on this case. During the visit, he spoke about his ordeal with students in a Criminal Law class who organized a donation drive for him.
"Without the Project for the Innocent, I'd probably still be in prison," Register said. "They have worked tremendously in my favor, and I think that they're the best at what they do."
Register, who is African American, was convicted by an all-white jury in the robbery-homicide of an elderly white man in the Pico Robertson neighborhood of Los Angeles. He was 18 years old at the time of his arrest. Attorney Herbert Barish was co-counsel on the case.
"We are grateful and delighted that Mr. Register has finally obtained justice and will get his life back after this 34-year nightmare," said Professor Laurie Levenson, the David W. Burcham Professor of Ethical Advocacy at Loyola Law School who oversees Loyola's Project for the Innocent. Bazelon, the project's director, said, "We could not be happier for our client, a person of amazing strength and moral conviction who has steadfastly maintained his innocence for almost three and a half decades."
Register had steadfastly maintained his innocence all along despite being denied parole on 11 different occasions dating back to 1993. His mother, Wilma Register, testified in court that she had always taught her son: "The truth shall set you free."

Base: Colorado, USA Assigned Regions: Rhone, Provence, Languedoc-Roussillon, Washingon State and Central California
An aerospace engineer by training, Jeb Dunnuck grew up on a farm in rural Indiana where whole milk was the beverage of choice and wine was hard to come by. It wasn't until 1996, when living abroad and traveling through Europe, that he became interested in fine wine.
Moving to upstate New York in 1999 to work for Lockheed Martin, and later to Colorado in 2001 to work for Ball Aerospace, he traveled extensively throughout the wine regions of Europe and the United States, where he quickly developed a passion for the wines of the Rhône valley and the Rhone Ranger Movement in California and Washington. To gain a better understanding of the business side of the wine industry, he took a temporary wine retail position in 2006.
Jeb launched the "The Rhône Report" publication and website in 2008 and began releasing a quarterly newsletter reviewing Rhône variety wines from around the world. Completely independent and including coverage on wines from France, Spain, Australia, and both California and Washington in the United States, the publication continued to gain in popularity and subscribers, and by 2013, was read in over 24 counties and seen as one of the leading authorities on Rhône variety wines.
Show More
In 2013, after being approached by Robert Parker to join The Wine Advocate team, Jeb gave up his engineering career and now writes full-time covering the wines of the Rhône Valley (North and South), Southern France, Washington, and Central & Southern California. He resides in Colorado, with his wife Traci and two dogs, where he pretends to rock climb and race a bicycle.

Cones 4–7 cm. long and mature in 18–20 months, though they typically remain green and closed for up to 20 years; each cone 30-50 spirally arranged scales, with several seeds on each scale giving an average of 230 seeds per cone. Seeds dark brown, 4–5 mm. long and 1 mm. broad, with a 1 mm. wide yellow-brown wing along each side. Seed shed when the cone scales shrink during hot weather in late summer, but most seeds liberated when the cone dries from fire heat or is damaged by insects.
Dimensions Height: 46-76 m. (150-250 ft.)
Diameter: 6 m. (20 ft.) sometimes larger.
Habitat Canyons & valleys, Mountains.
Range California.
Discussion Sole living species in the genus Sequoiadendron. Oldest known Giant Sequoia based on ring count is 3,500 years old. Wood highly resistant to decay, fibrous brittle, unsuitable for construction. From the 1880s through the 1920s logging took place in spite of marginal commercial returns. Due to weight and brittleness trees would often shatter when they hit the ground, wasting much of the wood. It is estimated that as little as 50 percent of the timber made it from groves to the mill. Used mainly for shingles, fence posts, or matchsticks.

That is a DPST switch, and I wouldn't expect it to be rated for 120VAC like it says because it looks too much like a 12V switch. the rating should be on the switch casing somewhere.Anyway for wiring, DO NOT put black on one side and red on the other. you need to wire your power IN to one of the center blades, and then run the power OUT of the other blade on the same side.

On the way home from Kansas I stopped off in Iowa to see if I could kill another long beard. I had a great starting point thanks to a friend named Jamey and a 3rd season tag burning in my hand. I hunted the first day and called in 3 nice longbeards but they didn't like something about the setup and left. The second day it was cold and miserable and no action. I was packed up to leave the morning of the third day but it was forecasted to be such a nice day I decided to try it. I only had until 730 or 8 to hunt. So needless to say it was the bottom of the ninth, I was down by one with one on. I came to bat with 2 out and a full count out came old Iowa red. He threw one low inside and I crushed it. Game over BBD in Iowa and another limbhanger. What a trip this was my 8th bird out of a possible 9. I don't think I could have ended with a better bird. A real Iowa monster. He came in strutting and gobbling with the two others but when I saw his beard I knew I had to kill him.
Iowa Eastern
22 Lbs 12 Oz
12 9/16 " Beard ( biggest beard for me yet )
Matching 1 1/4" spurs
Thanks Jamey for the intel !!
Now to try and kill a few Ontario birds and maybe one in Michigan. I am already behind the 8 ball as the season started April 25th in Ontario.

32 CFR Part 806b, Appendix B to Part 806b - Preparing a System Notice
Appendix B to Part 806 b—Preparing a System Notice
The following elements comprise a system of records notice for publication in the Federal Register:
System identifier: Air Force Chief Information Officer/P assigns the notice number, for example, F033 AF PC A, where "F" indicates "Air Force," the next number represents the publication series number related to the subject matter, and the final letter group shows the system manager's command or Deputy Chief of Staff. The last character "A" indicates that this is the first notice for this series and system manager.
System name: Use a short, specific, plain-language title that identifies the system's general purpose (limited to 55 characters).
System location: Specify the address of the primary system and any decentralized elements, including automated data systems with a central computer facility and input or output terminals at separate locations. Use street address, 2-letter state abbreviations and 9-digit ZIP Codes. Spell out office names. Do not use office symbols.
Categories of individuals covered by the system: Use nontechnical, specific categories of individuals about whom the Air Force keeps records. Do not use categories like "all Air Force personnel" unless they are actually true.
Categories of records in the system: Describe in clear, plain language, all categories of records in the system. List only documents actually kept in the system. Do not show source documents that are used to collect data and then destroyed. Do not list form numbers.
Authority for maintenance of the system: Cite the specific law or Executive Order that authorizes the program the records support. Cite the DoD directive/instruction or Air Force instruction(s) that authorizes the system of records. Always include titles with the citations.
Executive Order 9397 authorizes using the Social Security Number as a personal identifier. Include this authority whenever the Social Security Number is used to retrieve records.
Purpose: Describe briefly and specifically what the Air Force does with the information collected.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system including categories of users and the purpose of such uses: List each specific agency or activity outside DoD to whom the records may be released and the purpose for such release.
The DoD 'Blanket Routine Uses' published in the Air Force Directory of System Notices apply to all system notices unless you indicate otherwise.
Polices and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, and disposing of records in the system:
Storage: State the medium in which the Air Force keeps the records; for example, in file folders, card files, microfiche, computer, or a combination of those methods. Storage does not refer to the storage container.
Retrievability: State how the Air Force retrieves the records; for example, by name, Social Security Number, or personal characteristics (such as fingerprints or voiceprints).
Safeguards: List the kinds of officials who have immediate access to the system. List those responsible for safeguarding the records. Identify the system safeguards; for example, storage in safes, vaults, locked cabinets or rooms, use of guards, visitor controls, personnel screening, computer systems software, and so on. Describe safeguards fully without compromising system security.
Retention and disposal: State how long Air Force Manual 37-139 requires the activity to maintain the record. Indicate when or if the records may be transferred to a Federal Records Center and how long the record stays there. Specify when the Records Center sends the record to the National Archives or destroys it. Indicate how the records may be destroyed.
System manager(s) and address: List the position title and duty address of the system manager. For decentralized systems, show the locations and the position or duty title of each category of officials responsible for any segment of the system.
Notification procedure: List the title and duty address of the official authorized to tell requesters if their records are in the system. Specify the information a requester must submit; for example, full name, military status, Social Security Number, date of birth, or proof of identity, and so on.
Record access procedures: Explain how individuals may arrange to access their records. Include the titles or categories of officials who may assist; for example, the system manager.
Contesting records procedures: Air Force Chief Information Officer/P provides this standard caption.
Record source categories: Show categories of individuals or other information sources for the system.
Exemptions claimed for the system: When a system has no approved exemption, write "none" under this heading. Specifically list any approved exemption including the subsection in the Act.
Title 32 published on 2015-07-01.
No entries appear in the Federal Register after this date, for 32 CFR Part 806b.

text: I have the new speeders and was wondering if anyone has found the condition of these boxes to be as poor as I have? I opened 2 cases (there are 6 per case 3 of each) and only 2 out of the six in each case didn't have creased or wrinkled windows. If Hasbro is aiming this line more at collectors then why not put more care into the packaging so I can have my toys MIP???
