Sandalwood (Santalum album) has been considered to be a sacred gift for thousands of years. It is so highly valued that people have treasured it on the same level as pearls and ivory - it is considered with just that degree of importance. In quote after quote, from sacred Hindu writings to the Bible, sandalwood is praised with awe and respect as a precious material. Its scent and its healing qualities makes sandalwood one of the treasured ingredients in all of those used in skin care.
That very level of reverence has, in fact, driven sandalwood to the edge of endangerment. Not only its value as a source of healing oil, but its inherent slow-growing nature, have made it a protected type of tree. In recent decades, however, it has been brought back from the cusp of danger and saved as a renewed - and renewable - source of precious, healing oil.
The genus Santalum is a type of plant known as hemi-parisitic, meaning that the species can only grow on and dependant with other trees in order to live. Sandalwood trees use other trees as hosts, actually tapping into their root systems to share their ability to draw nutrients from the soil, although this process does not actually harm their host trees. The various species of Santalum are very slow-growing, taking decades to mature and produce a dense, heavy, tight-grained yellowish wood with a wonderful fragrance. The most famous species, Santalum album, commonly called Indian sandalwood, is native to South Asia, meaning the modern nations of India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, where they grow in hot, semi-arid forests. Modern demand for S. album is so great that the governments of India and Nepal have both declared that all individual sandalwood trees are owned by the government and protected against tree pirates (yes, there are actually such people). Fortunately, there are other species with similar qualities, including Santalum ellipticum, S. freycinetainm, the Hawaiian species known locally as 'iliahi (botanically named Santalum paniculatum), S. haleakalae and the Australian species S. spicatum.
Why all the fuss about sandalwood? What, after all, is its intrinsic value? Certainly, the wood itself is not only attractive, but its tight, dense grain and inherent oil make it a natural material for long-lived and beautifully scented objects. Everything from beads, jewelry boxes and decorative screens to religious statues have been made from sandalwood;the material is not only able to accept detailed carving, but it retains its natural scent for decades, adding a special quality to whatever object from which it is made. It is the wonderful healing nature of the oil that is derived from the wood that makes sandalwood so precious. Mature trees, usually at least 15 years old, but often older, are carefully harvested and the heartwood is processed through steam distillation to produce the oil.
In the traditional Indian medical system, known as Ayurvedic medicine, sandalwood oil has been used as a healing scent to provide relief for both physical and mental complaints. Recent Western medical studies have proven that the scent of the active ingredients of sandalwood oil, known as alpha-santalol and beta-santalol, actually strengthen and increase the human heart rate and blood pressure. When applied topically, sandalwood oil has both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a very effective treatment for skin infections and conditions such as acne. It can also calm and sooth irritated skin after shaving.
As a scent, sandalwood oil can be best described as having a balsamic, woody fragrance. Because it is so persistent, it is usually described as a base note

How to be medicinewise
Being medicinewise will help you ask questions about medicines and medical tests, and where to get trusted information. Having the right information will help you make better health decisions for you and those you care for.
5 steps to being medicinewise
The Medicinewise Handbook
We all take medicines, but too often we take them for granted. Download The Medicinewise Handbook and learn how to be medicinewise.
- Ask questions to get the information you need about medicines and make better informed decisions. Read about questions to ask.
- Know it's a medicine. Medicines don't just come on prescription — they include over-the-counter medicines from a pharmacy, supermarket or other store, as well as herbal remedies, vitamins and other supplements. Read more about what a medicine is.
- Know the active ingredient. Active ingredients are what make your medicines work. If your pharmacist offers you an alternative brand of a prescription medicine you can be sure it will work the same way as your usual medicine. Learn more about the active ingredient and where to find it.
- Always follow instructions from your doctor or pharmacist and read the labels and packaging of your medicines carefully. For more detailed information, read the consumer medicine information (CMI) which is available for prescription and pharmacist-only medicines — ask your pharmacist or search for one here.
- Keep track of all your medicines by using an NPS Medicines List. Your doctor, nurse or pharmacist can help you fill it in. Keep your Medicines List with you, especially on visits to your doctor, pharmacist or to the hospital.
Making wise choices
Being medicinewise starts with making good choices about medicines. Sometimes it is very clear that you need a particular medicine, but at other times the decision is not so straight forward. Making wise choices about medicines will help you ask questions and work with your health professional to make the best decision for you.
Buying medicines
Medicine costs can add up, particularly if you take several medicines. So it's important to know how to keep your medicine costs down without compromising your health. Also, by understanding your brand choices you'll know whether an alternative brand of your medicine is a good option for you. Learn more about being medicinewise when buying your medicines.
Managing your medicines
Managing your medicines well will help you get the most from your medicines and avoid potentially dangerous mix-ups. Find out why knowing about the active ingredient and using a Medicines List can help you keep track of your medicines.
Find out how our Antibiotics Reminder app can help you take your antibiotics on time.
Ages & life stages
One size doesn't fit all when it comes to medicines — people at different ages and stages of life may need to use medicines differently. Some medicines are safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but some are not. Read more about medicines, pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Small mistakes can cause big problems in little bodies, so if you're a parent or carer, find out the right way to give medicines to children.
Side effects & interactions
All medicines have possible side effects, but not everybody will experience them. Read more about side effects and how to find the information you need to choose and use your medicines safely.
Some medicines don't mix well together, and can cause problems such as changing how strongly a medicine works or changing its side effects. Read more about medicine interactions and how to avoid them.
Finding good information about medicines
Information about medicines can come from the internet, the media, or family and friends, so it can be hard to judge which information to trust. Here are some tips for finding reliable information.
Using complementary medicines
Many people like to use complementary medicines, which include herbal and natural medicines, traditional remedies and supplements. Complementary medicines are often less powerful than prescription medicines — but they still need to be used with care. Like all medicines, they can have benefits. However, they can also have side effects, cause allergic reactions, and may interact with prescription medicines.
Lifestyle choices for better health
Your lifestyle can directly affect your health. Lifestyle changes may help you avoid illness or enable you to reduce the dose and/or the number of medicines that you take.
Medicines regulation and clinical trials
Before a medicine made available in Australia, it must be approved by the Australian Government's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). Many prescription medicines are also subsidised under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). Read more about medicines regulation and how decisions are made.
Some of the strongest evidence about medicines comes from clinical trials. These research studies provide information about how well medicines work and what side effects they have. Read more about what clinical trials tell us, and why they are important.

I, too, was glad to see a little Michonne action. Even with a bum leg, I was hoping she'd jump in and help Glen and Maggie.
As for Rick, I thought the calls were real...until names were mentioned. Then I realized it was his imagination kicking in.
Don't know what to think about Andrea. Thought she saw the light last week with the zombie fights, but apparently not.

Residents spend night away from home after Oldbury fire
Firefighters continued to battle a blaze at an Oldbury gin distillery today.
A 100 metre exclusion zone was still in place as crews fought smaller fires at Alcohols Ltd in Langley, with hundreds of residents forced to spend the night away from their homes.
Fireballs and plumes of smoke could be seen for miles, as up to 100 firefighters battled the blaze at its height yesterday
Roads were closed and dozens of people were told to leave their homes as the fire broke out at the site in Crosswells Road, Langley, just before 10am.
At least 50 properties were evacuated in Hall Street and Thompson Road.
One man was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham with severe burns, and West Midlands Ambulance Service had the air ambulance on standby in case of more emergencies as the blaze took hold.
Plumes of black smoke filled the skies across the borough as flames towering above rooftops were just feet away from properties on nearby Hall Street.
London Midland trains were halted due to smoke billowing across the lines. Services were suspended between Stourbridge and Snow Hill in Birmingham.
Residents spoke of hearing a loud bang at the factory and fleeing their homes, with some still wearing pyjamas and clutching family pets. Mother-of-two Neelam Dass, aged 37, said: "I heard a massive bang and I thought it was a car crash, but when I looked out the window I saw the flames. I ran out on to the street. It's just so scary."
Tracey Benoist, 47, who lives next door to the factory, said: "I was watching Jeremy Kyle and I heard a massive bang. I opened the window and I saw the fire. I ran down the street."
The blaze also spread to engulf a Land Rover vehicle in Hall Street. The Environment Agency was also at the scene.

Comments for: "Residents spend night away from home after Oldbury fire"
that is bad hope evrey one is ok
Lesley Shelley
My husband drives for Alcohols.
Fortunately a regular Fire check was carried out last week and the Fire Service are fully cognisant on how to respond. I believe no one was hurt and that the fire is under control.
This is a long established company with an excellent reputation for the welfare of their plant and staff and have full procedures in place for just such an emergency.
This is shocking. I really hope and pray to God nobody has been hurt
kath dyson
all the emergency services there at the scene deserve a medal putting their lives on the line it was terrible to watch all what was going on and must be awful for the people who had to be evacuated
This is such bad news, my dad works for them, currently hes out delivering his stuff, however his car is parked in the warehouse so it must be burnt too. Im so glad he wasn't in there this morning thankfully he left hours before it happened.
not too far away in smethwick can see huge plumb of grey smoke rising above the houses.hope there are no fatalities and prey that everone is ok.
Is there any more news, I'm stuck at work and want to know
maria bridges
a 20 year old man was rushed to the q.e for burns. This was on the 1 o"clock news.
Mollies baguette bar 0121 552 8440
Very sad day for the distillery, their workers and the neighbours within the Langley area unfortunately one person was injured but it could of been a lot worse well done to the emergency services and all the neighbouring people.
bradley webster
This is realy bad hope every 1 is okai
One man sent to queen Elizabeth hospital with severe burns on his neck and arms but not aware of any other injuries. Could see the black thick smoke
Julie Bartlam
My Husband has worked for Alcohols at the Crosswells Road site for 20 years.
The company has an excellent reputation and work consistantly with the fire service to ensure safety regulations and the correct working procedures are followed at all times to prevent accidents like this from happening.
Thankfully accidents are very rare, and there has not been one like this for many many years.
Unfortunately one man an employee was hurt in the blast, but I have been told his burns are not life threatening.
Fifty homes have been evacuated in the vicinity, and trains running the Stourbridge through to Birmingham route have been canceled because they run past the site.
The fire service are still at the site to prevent any further explosions from the chemicals stored there, and will remain there throughout the night to try and prevent the fire from spreading to other nearby buildings.
And a very big thank you to West Midlands Fire Service for the remarkable work that they do!!!!
andrea hubball
We saw it from the flats at the top of Himley rd Dudley at about 10 15am, It looked bad then. Hope noone was badly hurt,
gillian calderood
its really bad news hope everyone is ok well dont to the brave firefigters out there they do deserve a medal and i do hope and pray those who ave been evacuated and the man that got severely burned are all ok my heart goes out to those firefighters who are tacklin the blaze really brave men
My girlfriend and i saw the smoke today, just glad no one was hurt. fair play to the emergency services!!!
i saw this break out from bristnall hall road, a real well done to all those that stepped up to mark and controlled this devastating incident, get well soon to injured man and glad all near residents are safe and sound x

Travel to Prague
In the spring, you should start to make arrangements for your transportation to Prague. The summer is the most popular time for overseas travel, and you may have to shop around for the lowest airfare. If possible, try to arrive at Prague International Airport in the morning (check the calendar for specific dates).
Residence Hall Check-In
Plan to arrive to Prague on Saturday morning. This is the first day you can check into the Kolej Komenského/Dormitory. Check-in generally begins around noon.
Address: Parléřova 682/6, Prague 6, Czech Republic
Phone: (011) 420-220-516-816 /812
Email: email@example.com
Traveling to the Residence Hall from Prague Intl. Airport (Ruzyně Airport)
Ruzyně Airport is located northwest of the city, about 10 miles from the city center. The airport has no metro or train connection to the city center and is only served by buses and taxis.
There are several ways to get to the Kolej Komenského Residence Hall:
- You can take a cab from the airport to the Residence Hall. Most students last semester took a cab. The price is around 600 crowns ($30). Learn how to pronounce the name of the Residence Hall and street name as most cab drivers do not speak English.
- The recommended cab company is: http://www.aaataxi.cz/. Press the button that says "English" at the top right. Beware of illegal taxis; not many people speak English, and many people can only speak words rather than sentences. There is no standard price for taxi services, but drivers are required to display their prices, usually on the door. In taxis, insist the taxi driver puts the meter on or refuse the ride. Be sure that the meter is running while you are in the taxi. If you really want to take one without a meter, agree on a price before you enter the taxi.
- You can take the white van vehicles (they say Centrum on them) that will drop you off at the Dejvická Metro for 90 crowns. They are like a Super Shuttle. You can then take a bus to the dorm from the metro. (See instructions below.)
- If you decide to take a bus from the Airport, note that you have to transfer buses. The cost will be around $2, but you will have to transfer buses with your luggage!
- Take bus no. 119 to Dejvická Metro.
- Change for bus 108,174,180, or 217 to Tram stop Hládkov.
- Walk up the hill about 300 meters.
- You will see a grey corner-building: Komenského Kolej.
Eurail Pass/Train Travel
If you plan to train travel while in Prague, be careful about the Eurail pass. The Czech Republic only honors specific Eurail passes and you may have to pay extra for your in-country transport.
To find out which Eurail passes are good in the Czech Republic, please visit the Eurail website for further information. For questions about Eurail in Prague, visit the international ticket office at Prague Liben station (Praha Liben). It is open daily from 6:00 am to 8:50 pm. See the Eurail Aid Offices for more aid offices in Europe.

text: The scale of enemy attack on this country by day during the week under review was considerably greater than it was in the previous week, but by night it was slightly smaller. Attacks were chiefly against aerodromes by day and industry by night, though some damage was inflicted on aircraft and other factories in daylight and aircraft production will be affected, though not seriously. Attacks on aerodromes have achieved no important results.

About RickyRood
I'm a professor at U Michigan and lead a course on climate change problem solving. These articles often come from and contribute to the course.
By: Dr. Ricky Rood , 6:55 AM GMT on January 04, 2012
2012 Climate Events: The start of the term
Last week I gave my summary of what I thought were the most important climate change discoveries or news of 2011. Of course, my choices were a bit arcane, but that's me. I did not talk about the remarkable extreme weather and climate events of the last year – really last 2 years. Others have the knowledge and do that better than I, and, staying close to home, I will refer you to Jeff Master's Blogs and Chris Burt's Blogs.
There were a couple of temperature facts that struck me: 1) The last month when the global mean monthly average was below the 20th century average was February 1985. There have been 321 consecutive months with the temperature above the 20th century average (link from NOAA), and 2) This graph from the World Meteorological Organization's Provisional Statement of the Climate (link to statement):
Figure 1: From WMO Provisional Statement. Temperature difference (anomaly) calculated for 1961-1990 average. La Niña years are marked. La Niña years should be cooler that average based on natural variability. 2010 was the warmest La Niña year on record, and the 10th warmest year on record.
This graph shows a systematic trend of the years which should be cool, the La Niña years, getting warmer. This combination of a warming trend in the years which should be cool years and more than 25 years of global monthly means being above the long-term average are simple and compelling measurements of the warming earth. Plus remember during this time of persistent warm months, we had that period of the Sun being inactive, and hence, also being a cooling influence (an old blog to remind you of that).
This information coupled with measurements of increasing carbon dioxide emissions noted in the last entry, well I will not be teaching that we can avoid dangerous warming in the next century.
So what are the other things that have struck me as interesting going into the Winter 2012 semester at Michigan?
1) At the top of the list is a judicial ruling that the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard is, in fact, unconstitutional. It violates the interstate commerce clause that governs commerce between states. Frequently, environmental law evolves through commerce law and the assurance of open markets between the states. Ironically, at the center of the ruling is ethanol.
2) Next on the list is that in 2011 the leading U.S. export was gasoline and other refined petroleum products (from Wall Street Journal). This is a consequence of the recession, high gasoline prices, and more fuel efficient vehicles. This is significant enough that refineries in Philadelphia are likely to be closed. There are all sorts of interesting facets of this news – energy, economics, technology, and climate change.
3) Reindeer: The warming in the Arctic has been much higher than the average global warming. Here is the 2011 Arctic Report Card. This report documents large changes in the atmosphere, sea ice and ocean, and snow extent, glacier mass and permafrost. There are efforts to rescue reindeer. There is a threat because the warming temperatures means there are more ice storms, rather than the snow associated with colder temperatures. This encases their food. This combination of changes, persistent over many years, again, is indicative of cumulative changes and systematic warming.
4) That United Parcel Service has been able to reduce significantly their transportation carbon emissions, while increasing deliveries. This includes efforts on vehicle efficiency as well as attention to routing and traffic engineering. (Brown goes Green) This proves that we can make a difference on more than an individual scale, and that government investments at the margin are important for developing environmental policy. The government money mitigates risk.
5) And just to confuse us all: Manatees in Florida are threatened by cold temperatures. The deaths in 2011 were high with cold weather listed as the greatest threat. What does that say about weather, climate, climate variability and climate change? If I get the question, I will start here.

All I bought from the gift shop were a hat (CHEAPLY made, I regret that buy), Bespin/Endor/Tatooine postcards, Vader/R2 pins, and a few of those nonarticulated "figures". I liked the Yoda
The store at Disneyland is fairly spartan, but I strongly suggest getting a pull-back Starspeeder 3000; a few of the lanyarded "intergalactic passports" (they say "Gold Leader" or "Security" or "Bounty Hunter" on the front, I have a few. They don't do anything like get you on the ride, but they're still fun); some of the new post cards; maybe if they have it one of the cool Star Tours logo-wearing mugs. There's not much else exclusive merchandise there anymore that I can think of.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
The cell phone idea is excellent. My wife doesn't have one, but I'm sure someone in the group she's in will. Good advice on the merch. I myself collect just about everything, so if it's something I don't have, I'm usually happy.
The funny thing is she went a few years ago and took some great photos of R5-D4, R2-D2, and C-3PO.
Any other suggestions that anyone thinks of are appreciated. My wife leaves near the end of March, so that will give me plenty of time to make a list.
Did they have any Oompa Loompas?
If she doesnt have a cell phone, get her one!! She will be totally in your debt for it, and then she can buy you all kinds of goodies when she goes on her trip!!
Think about it, you help her and she helps you.
50/50 kind of thing.

but I can barely afford two tin cans and a piece of string. I will keep it in mind for a birthday gift for her. Her birthday, by the way, is in May, right smack dab in the middle of all the Star Wars stuff going on. Let's just say that April and June are going to be full of birthday surprises!!!!
Did they have any Oompa Loompas?

Very sorry for your loss! A fine looking dog!
Very sorry to hear this news John.
"Force fetch isn't about retrieving as much as it is conditioning a dog to handle pressure, in a very controlled environment. It's about putting a dog in the position of having to figure out how to turn off pressure by finding the correct response. This translates into numerous areas in training." Sharon Potter.
Nice dog, a wonderful adventurous long life and a great owner. God bless.

I love it. First we had the Bush/Gore humour, now Arnie. What is USA gonna come up with next?
Borland C++Builder
mrorganic I found BCB to be a kickass RAD C++ tool. It was just too easy to create GUI C++ programs. I don't think anybody else even comes close to that. I loved VCL's properties and simplicity. Too bad that C++ doesn't support those.
Also, builderX will have a wx design tool. It's one of the biggest features. However I agree that it's a very stupid tool. It looks like a massive resource hog with a single feature: compiler/debugger agnosticness(got a better word?). Since when is application development dependant on being able to compile with 6 different compilers on windows and 2 or 3 on other platforms? In my experience 1-2 compilers-per-platform is plenty and it's easy enough to learn their debuggers. It just seems that borland decided to give up on their C++ development tools and just pretend that they didn't by having a GUI compiler wrapper.
On the other hand, this is good news for wxwindows. As any opensource project, they can always use more help.
Well, as a result of the recent spike in life energy, much has been done on irate. I added http resume and the prev button. Some protocol optimizations are being worked on.
Digital Music
jclement: I completely agree with you on the distribution problems with CDs. However there is yet another point that RIAA & friends are missing.
The hassle of buying CDs doesn't end at the store. There is still the problem of the CD getting boring and the effort needed to eventually admit that you've had enough of that cd and want to put another one in. There is also the effort of deciding what else you'd be willing to listen to. Then you have to figure out where you keep that replacement cd. Oh, CDs get damanged over time too!
Basicly, keeping music on CDs is a nightmare. I end up ripping all of the CDs that I buy. It's much more convenient to listen to playlists of hundreds of songs instead of 9. Of course once the CD is bought & ripped I've spent much more effort and money on obtaining it than I would've if I downloaded it off a p2p network.
Furthermore, after I've discovered iRATE, I'm having a real hard time even using a conventional mp3 player. I've grown used to having the computer figure out my taste, fetch me more music I like and filter out the crap. I believe that the future of music lies in such software.
From what I've read, iTunes deals with a lot of these issues too, but that product is much more conventional and is merely a slow evolution of the existing concept without anyof the innovative ideas that iRATE provides.
Obviously I am lazy and I am biased towards iRATE, but I'm sure there are people out there with similar frustrations to mine.
nymia: I have no idea why more people don't embrace javascript. It's an absolutely rocking c-like scripting language. We used the mozilla js engine in j-alice.org stuff and it was just amazing. It's very portable, very easy to embed and makes the application much more flexible. In our case embedding javascript in the data made it possible to provide simple logic without having to recompiling the core. That's convenient to both developers and users.
I learned js in the early days of html and it was nice to reuse that knowledge and apply it to a real application.
It's too bad that most javascript users are clueless web monkeys who just use premade scripts that they found on script-collection websites.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Sheridan, city, seat (1888) of Sheridan county, northern Wyoming, U.S., at the confluence of Big Goose and Little Goose creeks, on the east slope of the Bighorn Mountains near the Montana border. It was founded in 1882 and named for General Philip H. Sheridan, Union cavalry leader during the American Civil War. Not until a series of wars subdued the Cheyenne, Sioux, and Crow was the area well settled. The arrival of the railroad (1892) and the discovery of coal stimulated its growth.
A railroad distribution point, Sheridan has acquired some diversified manufacturing. Ranching, truck farming, flour milling, sawmilling, and oil ... (100 of 158 words)

Reports: Knicks agree to sign Metta World Peace to two-year deal
The Knicks have agreed to sign free-agent forward Metta World Peace to a two-year, $3.2 million contract, according to Yahoo! Sports and CBSSports.com. The deal reportedly includes a player option for the second season, and Newsday reports that the Knicks used a portion of their mini mid-level exception to ink World Peace.
World Peace, who was released by the Lakers last week using the amnesty clause, was not claimed during the blind bidding process that follows every amnesty release.
"I want to do things that's hard," World Peace said, according to CBSSports.com. "That's the challenged of being challenged. We all know [New York is] the hardest place to win. Since [1975], right? '73. '72-'73 [when the Knicks last won the title]. Why not take on something that's hard?"
The 14-year veteran averaged 12.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game last season. World Peace was set to earn $7.7 million in 2013-14; the Lakers will still owe him that salary, but it will be removed from their books for salary-cap and luxury-tax purposes. To replace World Peace, the Lakers signed Nick Young and Wesley Johnson to minimum deals.
A New York City native who played his college ball at St. Johns, World Peace returns to the Big Apple for the first time in a pro career that has included stops with the Bulls, Pacers, Kings, Rockets and Lakers. In Los Angeles, he won a title in 2010, won the NBA's J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award and legally changed his name from Ron Artest.
At 33, World Peace is still a useful, physical perimeter defender, and he's yet another veteran with extensive playoff experience to add to the Knicks' mix. His arrival will force coach Mike Woodson to make some lineup choices: World Peace could theoretically start next to Carmelo Anthony in a small-ball lineup or be used as a reserve defender to pair alongside Sixth Man Award winner J.R. Smith. It's possible that World Peace's maximum impact could be in a reserve role, given the presence of Amar'e Stoudemire and Andrea Bargnani, two forwards not known for their defense. Come playoff time, World Peace could make for a nice defensive pairing alongside shooting guard Iman Shumpert. GRADE: A-. This is a no-brainer move for the Knicks, who are playing the same summer game as the Nets, Heat and other capped-out teams in looking to fill out their rotations with bargain veterans so as to minimize their luxury-tax bill. World Peace can still defend, rebound, make headlines with his antics and drive you crazy with inconsistent three-point shooting. While not worth what the $7-plus-million that Lakers were paying him, he should be able to outplay the terms of this contract fairly easily. If there's a question here, it centers on the potential for volatility in a locker room that already includes the mercurial Smith, but the Knicks seem to have no hesitation playing with fire. Get your "Say Queensbridge!" signs ready, Manhattan.

Not interested in your particular branch of physics.
You can also make a synchrotron or nano-material center for condensed matter physics/material science but high energy physicists will rarely find that useful.. -liudr
liudr, It may not fit a narrow interpretation. I struggled to find another word that describes it more accurately. It accelerates negative ions in a fixed circular path, it's sold-state..What scientific word would you use?
Sounds to like some kind of "tron" since it accelerates negative charges.. Are you accelerating electrons in a metal ring? How are you doing it and why is it creating plasma?

No we don't but we influence what crown they blow theirselves up in. We are not going to change that part of the world and Isreal needs to fight their own battle. It is that simple.
We need to get out of Afganistan and quit pretending that we can change them. My only disappointment with Obama has been that he did not end that war sooner. However, I'm sure he won't put us in another one, but I'm not sure that the favors owed by Romney want put us at war with Iran, and that is another one that can't be won.
We quit meddling in their business and those people wearing vest will leave us alone.

Family: Drosophilidae, Pomace Flies view all from this family
Description A slender fly. Adult males bright golden-yellow, covered with dense upright hair, orange-yellow hair on front legs. Females duller in color with shorter hair with pronounced green-brown tinges, and lack bright coloured fur on the fore legs. Long, hair-covered; eyes red; wings yellowish brown in front, clear behind.
Dimensions Adult preys on flies and other adult insects. Larva feeds on other insect larvae in dung.
Food Adult preys on flies and other adult insects. Larva feeds on other insect larvae in dung.
Life Cycle Females lay their eggs on manure. The eggs hatch into predatory larvae and feed on other insect larvae within the dung. After 21 days or more of feeding, dependent on conditions, the larvae burrow into the soil around and beneath the dung and then develop into pupae, before developing into adult flies. Up to four or five generations per season.
Habitat Locations with manure present such as Barnyards and pastures.
Range Introduced. Found throughout the United States and southern Canada.
Discussion One of the most familiar and abundant of flies in many parts of the northern hemisphere. It is a very variable in appearance, which research is hinting may be driven in part by climate variations. European colonists inadvertently brought the dungfly to the New World with their livestock.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Good location, big room, clean enough.
Toilet was not working, but otherwise the room was nice and the service was good throughut my stay.
Clean & comfortable accomodation.
Marcos is very kind and anxious, and when there was a power blackout at night, he came by to have a look, so everything was fixed fastly.
The apartment is small but in a pretty cool area, and there is a cleaning lady coming everyday!
We were pleased with the room. Very good location und the room itself was clean. The price was fair. Marcos is a very friendly host.
The room is spacious indeed. Location is very good. It would be great, if there could be a second toilet for so many people, but that can't be helped. I would book this room again.
Perfect for people, who are staying in London city-sightseeing for a couple of days. Clean room and bedding; the bed is big and comfortable. Location is great to get anywhere in London! 24/7 reception next door is very helpful!
Bathroom is shared with other apartments and could use a renovation, but it is clean and works.
All in all good place to stay for a couple of days!
We had a great room, in front of road networks Liverpool street, great for moving quickly. Room for two, no more. Bathroom, toilet and kitchen collective, but damage to the location of the apartment worth, train, subway, bus, 1 minute, I could not ask for more! Very welcoming person speak some French! A recommender if you do not stay in your room. Beautiful city !! A remake!
It was a very pleasant experience to stay here. Thank you for everything!
All was nice and comfortable and as expected from the website. Thank you very much for the hospitality! Generally it was a positive experience! Thank you again!

Inside Andrew Bynum
We can talk all day about how players are unskilled in this country, I'm not about to go down that road. What I want to speak on today is how to wake up young players especially post players. There is such a lack of serviceable post players that play the right way. To be a great post player doesn't mean that you have to score 24 points on the block. Sure that helps, but to truly have value as a post player you need to start by being active. So few post players today run the floor on both ends. They tend to trail the play mostly and taking their time to get over halfcourt unless they have a chance to score on an uncontested layup. Players need to understand that they get so many scoring opportunities by running the floor in transition as well as making hard cuts in the halfcourt as well. If you pay attention to most post players many of the points don't even occur with touches on the block. Running the floor in transition, putbacks on offensive rebounds, rolling hard on pick and roll, ducking in from the weakside, and cutting to the basket are all ways that big men can score. Before you know it you can already have 12-14 points by just doing these things on a regular basis. You'd be surprised on the amount of points are scored every night doing these things by some of the top post players in the league.
This post will center around Andrew Bynum. Andrew has developed into one of the top Centers in the NBA. The 2012 starting center on the west squad for the all star game has put up 16.4 points 12.5 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game coming into tonight, while playing an average of 35.0 minutes a game. As I stated before I like to take into account how many minutes it takes a post player to get a rebound. You get that number by averaging your minutes by your rebounds. If that number is under 4.0 you are a very active rebounder for a post player. Bynum's average is a rebound every 2.82 minutes per game. That is outstanding and one of the tops in the league. He shoots 54.1 % from the field making him one of the more efficient post players in the NBA.
He wasn't born this way coming into the NBA. Bynum's body was nowhere near it was right now. His weight was north of 300lbs, and not even close to being in game shape ready to contribute consistently at the NBA level. He learned form a veteran team and coaching staff that being out of shape and low energy wasn't going to sit well with them and was going to stop his development as a player. Like any driven player Bynum worked harder every off season until he was ready to contribute on an everyday level. He slowly became one of the league's top centers. Every year he seems to add a little more to his game. What has improved the most for him is his tenacity when it comes to rebounding on both ends of the floor. It seems like Bynum is in every play, and when he gets an offensive rebound he keeps it high and puts it right back up. Players need to watch his tenacity and activity level on both ends of the floor. Every player should watch how on offense the first thing he does is make contact with his opponent and establishes great position on the block. That is his spot and he owns it, he doesn't let anyone try to push him off his spot that's his spot an everyone in the arena knows it. When the shot goes up on either end, Bynum is always fixated on where to be for the rebound. Another trick that all post players should get in the habit of doing.
It hurts my eyes to watch talented post players at the high school and college level. So much potential lost because of bad attitudes and poor work ethics. You need to understand this that if you are 6'10 , fairly active, coordinated, and can move just a little bit you will make money playing basketball. There are so many players that have made a career in the NBA of being serviceable backups that were average players at best. Here's a list of some of the active NBA big men and what is estimated that they have made playing basketball.
Career PPG
|Kwame Brown(Warriors)
|Jeff Foster(Pacers)
|Dan Gadzuric(FA)
|Jason Collins(Hawks)
|Brian Skinner(Grizzlies)
|Jarron Collins(FA)
|Sheldon Williams(Nets)
Now everyone on this list doesn't have some God given gift that no one else has. They all have size, play hard, and are for the most part coachable. Let me read that off again…… They are big, play hard, and are coachable. So basically what I am saying is if you are rated in the top 100 in the country and you are a power forward or center at about 6'10 or higher there is no reason why you can't accomplish at very least what those players in the list have accomplished. Serviceable big men are very hard to find these days. Teams need them on every level, and all we are saying is if you play with some heart and are active that you have a chance to make money playing basketball? If you are a big man reading this and you fit this description or are a coach with a player that fits this description and your player never got seriously injured and couldn't make this list then something is very wrong.
Guards for the most part are a dime a dozen. Yes there are great ones that are special, but for the most part it is very hard to get to the NBA level as a guard even if you have a lot of talent. The market is so saturated with 6'2 combo guards or 6'5 scorers. What the league needs is talented big men. What Division 1 schools need our serviceable big men. WHAT ANY SCHOOL NEEDS IS SERVICEABLE BIG MEN. Catch my drift.
Remember what I said earlier that you don't have to be a scorer on the block to be serviceable as a post player. You just have to be active, rebound the ball, and run the floor. Learn how to stay out of foul trouble and move your feet. Another skill set that good post players have is that they can protect the paint. That means they can block shots, or they can move their feet and rotate to take charges and/or help their teammates on defensive rotations. Again all of this is not brain surgery. All it takes is extra effort and the ability to be focused. I'm actually tired of writing about this, but since most bigmen never live up to any expectation I want to continue to spread the word to as many players and coaches as I can.
Not everything in basketball is about making the NBA. I know I mention it a lot, but its fine to just be a good high school or college player. The key is to live up to your potential and don't waste it. You are young now and have very bright futures ahead of you. Some of you will go on to successful careers in the workforce doing great things. Some of you if you are lucky will go on to play in college, and for a select few will make money playing basketball. But understand this you will get old. Before you know it you'll be 40years old, don't be that person that reflects back and says, man I could have done so much more with my ability but chose not to because I was lazy or had a bad attitude. You won't play this game forever, remember what Charles Barkley says, father time is undefeated. Don't waste your talent.

Re: Southern Porch Extension
Hi Lynn. Nice to see you on the porch. I live in Wisconsin. What do you like to write? I used to write poetry, but have narrowed my focus to non-fiction on the topic of eating disorders. I have an online ministry to those with eating disorders and am trying to do whatever I can to get the word out - an uphill climb for sure.
Congratulations, Carole.
Re: Southern Porch Extension
I took the test twice--once at my actual weight, plus diet and a couple other things, and got a score of 92 years. Then I changed the weight to the bottom of my healthy weight range, had myself eating healthy and getting plenty of exercise, etc., and had 6 more years added. I kept the high blood pressure answer the same, because even though my mom was at or, especially well below her healthy weight the last year of her life, she still had high blood pressure, and she was on medication for it. So it might not just be my weight that's causing it, it's likely heredity, because most of my family has it as well. But I have ancestors that lived into their 80s, 90s and 100s, so my living well into my 90s is realistic. I wouldn't be surprised if I outlived my siblings.
Re: Southern Porch Extension
Hi Lynn - Nice to meet you! You have a standing invitation to join our group, to post as much and as often as you like, and we'll always have a warm welcome for you.
I grew up in New York State but married a North Carolina boy after we met at Nyack College near New York City. I love living in the South. I love all the traditions and faithfully abide by the culinary rule, "If it ain't deep fried, it ain't worth eating." I'm the oldest member of the Porch and probably the oldest member of FaithWriters! The people you'll meet here are among the most delightful, most spiritual, most loving, and most encouraging people on the internet! If you live in Memphis, you've probably seen Elvis many times.
My computer crashed again over the weekend! I saved a few choice words for it if I don't soon get it fixed. Right now it's on another Band-Aid fix. With any luck I'll get 2 or 3 days of service out of it before it gives up the ghost again.
Carol, my sweetie, my sister and her family return to Boston early Wednesday morning so after that I'll reply to your latest Email. It's going to be hard to say goodbye to her this time, for obvious reasons.
Y'all have a good night's sleep.

Re: Southern Porch Extension
Sorry, Don, I forgot to tell you how your list brightened my day when I read it. Also, I find comfort knowing that God has written the number of days I'll live in His book, and He'll be with me thro0ugh every one of them.
My dad died at 79 and my mom at 83--I'll go when He calls me! But that was a fun exercise.
Marianne, you can give your computer an extra kick for me to get it jump-started.
Lynn, welcome to the porch. I began life in Cincinatti, Ohio, as the daughter of a preacher. We lived in several other places in Ohio, moved to Kentucky, then to South Carolina. I went to college in Marion, IN, met my sweetheart there. After he graduated from college, we moved to SC for several years then settled in NC, where we've been since 1965. I feel like a native here--and love it.
Hope you all are enjoying the fall as much as I am.

Re: Southern Porch Extension
I went to a Walmart Clinic yesterday to see about what I thought was a UTI, with possible kidney stones. They took a urine sample, said no infection, but my sugar was really high, that my body was doing a major sugar dump.
They then took a A1c. I said I had eaten less than two hours before, was told it didn't matter. I've always had to fast for them before.
They gave me meds for the back pain, plus anti nausea meds, as the pain was making me sick. They also gave me antibiotic as, while no infection showed in sample, one usually follows stones due to irritation.
Today they called with the results. The nurse said that for some reason the blood was never sent in, but they showed a sugar count of 416 and I needed to get to a doctor immediately, as that was high enough to cause a coma. I have an apt for 2pm.
I took a sugar reading here, a little while ago, three hours after breakfast, and got 220.
I'm not sure if their 416 was accurate, but I am going to go in.
The meds they gave me literally knock me out. I sleep for hours after I take them. the back pain is still very intense, doesn't seem to be helping. Need to go, time to see docs.
Proud to be a 500 member.
I don't know the master plan, but I know the Master has a plan.
Re: Southern Porch Extension
Ok, just got home.
They did another blood draw for an A1c, among other tests.
A normal, healthy, non-diabetic should come in at 6.5
A healthy, controlled diabetic shouldn't be above 7.5
I came in at 8.9.
The pain in my kidneys is because of the sugar being so high, tho there may also be stones. I am now on two meds for my sugar. Sooo, no more yummy desserts.
Proud to be a 500 member.
I don't know the master plan, but I know the Master has a plan.
Re: Southern Porch Extension
Oooh, Carole, that sounds like no fun at all. I'm trying to think what foods are helpful in such situations, but the only thing that comes to mind is cinnamon. I think that has something to do with lowering blood sugar/or affecting the body's insulin response - off the top of my head. I should check the internet for certain. C U later!

Re: Southern Porch Extension
Carole, I can only imagine how you are feeling. Know that you are in our prayers.
BTW, if you find you have kidney stones, the one pain medication that helped me most was Toradol. Apparently from what nurses told me, this med has been helpful for many in dealing with the pain of kidney stones. But I really hope you don't have them.

Re: Southern Porch Extension
Carole, I'm glad you went in for a follow up. I hope you don't have a kidney stone, too. You have enough going on without that.
I was in the clinic myself today. I have several sores in my mouth. I've had them before, but this time my teeth hurt, it hurts up into my ear, and I ache all over. Goodness, what a commotion. But she said the nasty little fellers can do that to a person. I'm taking ibuprofen (though it's hard to say how many days my stomach will be able to tolerate it) and a mouthwash to numb the sores to make it a little easier to eat. I hadn't had these sores for probably a few years or more, but now I've had them twice since my dad died. I've had a couple other things, too, since he died. It's just been a heavy duty year between losing my dad and my unemployment status (which is the hardest to deal with).
Re: Southern Porch Extension
Carole and Laurie--Praying right now for comfort and healing for both of you.
Laurie, after my dad died many years ago, I had miserable sores in my mouth, which the doctor said were just stress. You've had sufficient to be stressed about!

Re: Southern Porch Extension
Thanks, Verna. It's been so much for so long. Losing my dad on top of being unemployed for over a year now - and it goes back further than that. The last four years have just been a series of difficult circumstances that have been hard on all levels, one after the other.
Please pray that I will find the help I need.

Financial Resources
- Assistantships
- Selection Process for Graduate Assistants
- Job Description for University, Clark Fellowship and Departmental Awards
- Tuition Scholarships for Graduate Assistants
- Work Requirements for Graduate Assistants
- Research Assistantships
Each year, the Graduate School allocates a few graduate assistantships to the Masters of Public Administration Program. The Graduate School sets the stipend level and determines whether assistants will qualify for a tuition scholarship. Funding for these positions is provided by the State of New York, and is therefore subject to a degree of uncertainty and change from year to year. Presently, graduate assistants, but not their dependents, qualify for health insurance coverage. Students may receive assistantships for a semester or an academic year.
There are four possible sources of funding for graduate assistants in the MPA program:
- University allocations provided on a "formula" basis from the Graduate School. One full-time assistant is equal to one line. One-half line can be used to pay for a student for one semester or half the student's costs for two semesters.
- Clark Fellowships for qualified minority students, which are two-year fellowships fully paid out of a separate account in the first year. In year two, the program pays half of a Clark Fellow's stipend (or one-half of a line) with the balance provided by the Graduate School.
- Departmental funding through which he program may award assistantships using its own funds (either a portion of the state account, or Income Fund Reimbursable accounts).
- Grant and contract funds which are dependent upon the availability of resources created by the successful grant and contract activity of MPA program faculty.
The MPA Admissions Committee determines recipients of assistantships from University, Clark Fellowship or departmental funding. Assistantships funded by grant and contract funds should be awarded by the principal investigator(s) to students in good standing who meet their specific needs.
Selection Process for Graduate Assistants
Continuing Assistants
Each year the Graduate School determines the number of assistantship lines available to the MPA program. Continuing students with previous support have the highest priority for an assistantship provided they have not exceeded their eligibility of four academic year semesters and are in good standing with the program.
An assistant is in good standing if he or she has earned at least a 3.0 in every course, is making timely progress toward completion of the degree and has a positive written evaluation from his or her faculty supervisor(s). The program administrative assistant will provide a copy of the faculty evaluation to the student and place the original report in the student's departmental file.
New Assistants
Presently enrolled students not receiving support and newly accepted students must notify the MPA program assistant of their interest in an assistantship by the due date published by the Graduate School. The MPA Admissions Committee will review the academic files of all students who have applied for new assistantships and will rank them according to the following criteria:
(1) demonstrated ability to meet the academic rigors of graduate school as determined
by undergraduate academic transcripts and writing samples,
(2) demonstrated leadership ability,
(3) demonstrated intellectual curiosity, and
(4) good citizenship.
The admissions committee or a subcommittee may interview applicants to determine who will receive new assistantships.
Job Description for University, Clark Fellowship and Departmental Awards
Graduate assistants must be in good academic standing at all times. Graduate assistants in the MPA program assist faculty in their research activities including: conducting literature reviews; securing funding for research; collecting, organizing and analyzing data; and writing research papers and reports.
Because of their close association with MPA faculty, their fellow students will perceive graduate assistants to be leaders within the program. Therefore, graduate assistants are expected to attend all MPA-sponsored activities such as lectures, colloquia and social events and will actively support the MPA Graduate Student Organization. Their faculty supervisor may assign other duties.
Tuition Scholarships for Graduate Assistants
A supported student with less than 24 hours of graduate credits is eligible for a tuition scholarship for up to 12 credit-hours (in-state rates) per semester. After 24 credit-hours have been taken, a student is qualified for a tuition scholarship of only 9 credit-hours per semester (in-state rates).
Work Requirements for Graduate Assistants
Assistants receiving a full-tuition scholarship and stipend shall work 20 hours per week. While receiving an assistantship, they may not work in another job on campus or for another state government agency.
Research Assistantships
From time to time, faculty write grants or win contracts to conduct work. The faculty member who is the principal investigator (PI) of a grant or contract may hire research assistants to assist him or her with the project. The PI may fund a research assistant position for a semester, an academic year or a summer. The terms of employment for the research assistant are negotiated between the PI and the assistant and the PI has sole authority for determining whether the assistant is making satisfactory progress and should be renewed or not. All research assistant positions are temporary and contingent upon the availability of grant or contract funds.
Financial assistance including research/teaching assistantships, partial tuition offset and fellowships (limited availability) is available to some qualified applicants. The MPA Admissions Committee will develop and publish criteria for making financial aid decisions, including application deadlines for awards.

Okay if Hasbro is reading this. You should have some new saga two packs consisting of figures from Old Trilogy and new. First i need to point out NO GIMMICKS in the poses at all. Just neutral poses with as much articulation at possibe. In waist, neck,biciceps,shoulders ball joint and straight, knees, elbows,and wrist. NO GIMMICKS at all. VERY GOOD PAINT JOBS not rushed looking stuff. YOu should do all of these. Not only would everyone very badly want them they wouldn't say on the shelves. Do two to a case of each and there are no pegwarmers! TA DA!
first my number one want and probably would be the greatest figure/figures ever!!
R2-D2 from Jabba's Palace/Sail Barge with 3 3/4 Holographic Luke Skywalker::::::::::::
First take a sculpt like the potf2 commtech R2D2 now add the following
Bartender accessories including two large cups and one small one, and the tray to sit on R2. Also have his top part on the dome be removable so you can put in the bartender drink attachment but then take it out and put regular top back in.
second Have him come with a hidden metal lightsaber hilt(that looks like Luke's from ROTJ) that is in a little compartment that moves open and close so you can take it out. (also include lightsaber detachable blade)
third::: The second figure in the two pack needs to be Holographic Luke Skywalker. This figure needs to be translucent but not PURPLE or blue like you do holographic figures. You need to be able to see the black outfit and his hair color and skin tone. He just need to be tranlucent like how you did Dagobah Vaders Cape. Needs to be exactly how he looked in the movie. With articulation in the right arm so he can jester towards the droids with an empty palm. Needs lightsaber hilt attached to belt. This way ARTOO can present the message to Jabba. Would be extremely awesome figure
This would sell very good and would be great addition
Imperial Dignitaries 2 Pack very detail (nuff said)
Imperial Dignitaries #2 : Teletubby Jonathan winters looking fellow(removable hat) and the guy that looks like a pirate.
Imperial Officers. Admiral Ozzel and Captain Needa
Imperial Hoth Assult: General Veers with removable helmet and small holographic Darth Vader and Resculpted Hoth Snowtrooper or ATAT driver both bendable knees and lots of articulation
Jabba Palace Aliens: Tanus Spijek and Cane Adiss (very detail scupts)
Jabba Palace Goons 2: Bane Malar(bounth hunter) and Sergeant Doallyn (lots of articulation)
Jabba Palace Guest: Murttog Yine(we need at least one cool human dude from Jabbas Palace) and J'Quille(good sculpts important here)
ESB Bounty Hunters: Dengar (resculpt this the old one is terrible wheres his backpack gear and etc could be great) and Bossk(Make him in a non gimmick pose and better looking and more to scale with figures. He was tallers and bigger could be awesome)
ESB Bounty Hunters 2: Zuckass and 4LOM : Redo both of these they should look like they jumped offscreen and make sure they can both hold their guns right.
Death Star Escape:::Han and Luke resculpts in stormtrooper disguise. Sculpt new heads or use old commtech ones add the black ribbed turtle neck and slap them on Commtech Stormtrooper bodies and add helmets and working holsters!!! with two small blasters and 1 rifle.
Jabba's goons: Hermi Odle and Ugnaught(big one in red jumpsuit that works for Hermi) Would be great!!!!!!
Leia in Boussh Disguise(redo this one could be soo soo soo much better and include a redone Chewbacca as Boussh Bounty.
Rebel Pilots 2 pack: 2 Pilots from ANH with removable helmets
Jabba Skiff Guards: A redone Lando in Disguise(old one sucked and could be just AWESOME if you took the time) and some other guy we've never seen before.
Episode 2: Yoda and Count Dooku, Very neutral poses with tons and tons or articulation on both figures for lots of posing wiht cloth capes that aren't all PUFFY and going every direction but say on and look how they should uh duh this would sell like water in the desert...
2 Droids from the Jawa Sandcrawler
Cantina Scumbags: Ponda Boba and the good Dr. Evazan(spelling) NEUTRAL POSES with lots of articulation and guns that can be holstered and two drinking cups. New thought out well done sculpts.
Thats all i can think of now. But this would be an awesome well selling product if you ask me. I'd pay $15-$20 each for these. If hasbro does really read this get to work.. YOur thoughts and opinions people? What would you like to see? ETC ETC ETC

- Description
*** Sparse image - please zoom in, or view in full screen mode in a dark room! ***
This is a self-avoiding walk sampled from the uniform distribution via a new implementation of the pivot algorithm.
The self-avoiding walk (SAW) is an extremely simple model: a SAW is a walk on the lattice such that no lattice vertex is visited twice. However, it exactly captures the essential physics of the behaviour of polymers in a good solvent, e.g. the Flory exponent (nu) is exactly the same for SAW as it is for real polymers.
Please note that the colors are washed out because this image is extremely sparse. This is due to the fact that self-avoiding walks are fractal objects.

San Quentin Prisoners Harvest Victory with Vegetable Garden
March 14th, 2014 | by Jill Ettinger
There are a lot of things wrong with our nation's prison systems. But one thing going right is worth acknowledging. San Quentin prisoners just harvested their first vegetables planted last fall from their "victory garden."
