Across the USA you will find winter warnings, freeze warnings and various storm warnings. Planning for this has been in the works for many, while others put it off as long as possible.
Colorado & Utah weather is quickly changing having several alerts in place with the first winter snow, and even allowing for some travel plan changes without being penalized by the air line companies as some cities could get as much as 8 inches of snow in the next 48 hours. One thing to always remember to look for is the warnings of road closings, top schools closing.
As you watch the changes going east you will find warmer weather, some rain and maybe even some flooding. While looking in Massachusetts, you can't help but be amazed at the fall colors on the trees, the nice green grass and wonder how much longer before you will find such places like Dover homes covered in a white blanket.
Many people use this time of year to do more and more online shopping. Local searching can include, holiday shopping, car shopping, local classifieds all the way across to real estate for sale.
With the many weather warnings happening and winter fast approaching if you pick a few locations to shop online homes for sale you could as far North this week and find 3-6 inches around New York, and the western mountains in Massachusetts. These random placed storms will affect many regions; while we can all still go shopping for Dover real estate and local classifieds wherever else we might be located across the USA.
Everyone please take note that you if you are anywhere it may snow, you should always have your scarper, a pair of boots, gloves, extra pants, a warm coat and a blanket in your car, and always a first aid kit as well.
Happy pre-winter to all…

On a Train to Nowhere
Posted on 1 Jun 2009 by Joe Coburn.
It's June 1st. Here the Royals are at 23-27. They've managed just 2 wins in their last 10. With their heavy inter-division slate through the end of May this was a date I thought we be a revealing one as far as where they are as a team. It is. They're nowhere, and headed in the wrong direction. Their best hitter has been Billy Butler. Alberto Callaspo is the only guy over .30...

Exciting 9th beats Wood, Indians
Posted on 20 May 2009 by Joe Coburn.
What a great way to start the series. I thought KC was dead. No way they do this off Kerry Wood, no matter how badly he has struggled. No way they were gonna put up 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th. And they didn't. They scored 4. Jacobs and Teahen go yard, and all of a sudden it was 5-4. David Dejesus' RBI triple tied the game, and he scored easily on Willie Bloomquist's Sac fl...

Missed Opportunites
Posted on 18 May 2009 by Joe Coburn.
They just keep limping along. The opportunity to beat up on bad pitching. The opportunity to play a last place team, for 4 games, at home. The opportunity to retake sole position of 1st place. Oh, the opportunities… Gil Meche actually had a lead, 2-0 after 3, and couldn't hold it. Thursday's game was their 6th loss in a row. They managed 5 runs, which is a nice total for ...

The last place Orioles are coming to town for 4. The Royals find themselves tied for 1st. They have their top 3 starters going, and the O's staff has given up the most runs in baseball. What could possibly go wrong? For starters, KC has lost 5 in a row. They couldn't even manage a run the last time Zack Greinke pitched. They just don't score runs. And the O's do. More imp...

Greinke's #6… Again.
Posted on 5 May 2009 by Joe Coburn.
Zack Greinke was drafted by the Royals with the 6th pick in the 2002 Amateur Draft. This was the draft covered in such high detail in Michael Lewis' book, Moneyball. You remember, the one where Billy Beane "figured out" a new way to build baseball teams. Stay away from high schoolers, love sabremetrics, the whole thing. After Zack's start last night I took a look at that d...

So, Zack Greinke is pretty good huh?
Posted on 30 Apr 2009 by Joe Coburn.
He's leading all of baseball with a .50 ERA, and tied for the lead with 44 K's. He's the 1st to 5 wins. He's 3rd in overall WHIP, and 2nd in IP. He's held opposing hitters to a .188 batting average against. But of all the numbers there are 2 that are most important. The number 4, and the number 1. On January 26th of this year the Kansas City Royals took a very importa...

This is simply not so. Cruz, Mahay and Farnsworth ...

Can A Gentleman Get A Royals Score?
Posted on 15 Apr 2009 by Joe Coburn.
You may not believe this, but getting a Royals score (either at home or abroad) can be quite a difficult thing. I had to leave for the airport sometime during the 2nd inning of Sunday's game with the Yanks. After Meche's wild pitch it wasn't hard to pull me away, especially with the prospects of looking at Joba Chamberlain for a couple of hours. After receiving my big glass of ...

It's just not going right now for anybody in the lineup. I have confidence that eventually they will hit, but the lack of offense will put too much pressure on the starters.

So the Royals scored 6 runs. In 3 games. And managed to win 2 of em'. Following an impressive performance by Zack Greinke, Kyle Davies goes out and pitches 7 strong.

There were plenty of positives to take from opening day, but Kyle Farnsworth is not among them. Nobody who has ever seen "Specs" pitch was surprised in the least. It'll happen again. And again.

Citizen Services Cost Calculator
Whether your agency is thinking about a new call center or wants to expand an existing program, the Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies cost calculator provides supporting business information and cost analysis to help you plan your next steps.
The GSA Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies developed the software, working with 10 federal agency partners and the MITRE Corp. of McLean, Virginia -- a nonprofit, federally funded research and development center.
The cost calculator:
- Allows you to estimate the expenditures required to establish and operate contact centers that meet citizen expectations for timely, accurate, and consistent responses.
- Is designed to save you time and money outlining and estimating all support costs involved in running a call or contact center.
- Allows the user to create "what if" scenarios to compare options and costs for adding services or contracting out operations using our USA Contact contract.
The calculator doesn't require major knowledge of contact center technologies. The model uses the choices and data you provide to calculate the overall contact center costs such as work force, hardware, software, telecommunications, facility costs, and the initial and recurring costs.
Copies of our latest calculator (Version 2.5) are available for free to all government agencies. To obtain a copy, contact Barbara Walton at (202) 208-0568 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

(Reuters) - Apple Inc's much-hinted-at TV service may soon become a reality as the iPhone maker is in talks with programmers to offer a slimmed-down bundle of TV networks this fall, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The service would have about 25 channels, anchored by broadcasters such as ABC, CBS and Fox, and be available across all devices powered by Apple's iOS operating system, including iPhones, iPads and Apple TV set-top boxes, the newspaper said. Apple has been talking to Walt Disney Co, CBS Corp, and Twenty-First Century Fox Inc and other media companies to offer a "skinny" bundle with well-known channels like CBS, ESPN and FX, leaving out the many smaller networks in the standard cable TV package, the Journal said. Apple, which is aiming to price the new service at about $30 to $40 a month, plans to announce the service in June and launch it in September, the newspaper said.
By Patricia Reaney NEW YORK (Reuters) - Going, going, gone! Sold to the highest bidder at the auction, on the phone or on a new eBay platform that will stream Sotheby's New York auctions live beginning next month. The new live auctions platform - ebay.com/sothebys - that launches on Tuesday pairs Sotheby's 270 years of experience selling art and antiques with eBay's digital expertise and 155 million active users worldwide to meet the demand for online bidding. "What this partnership is about is leveraging eBay's audience and ability to target that audience and find clients that have the means to participate in a Sotheby's auction," Josh Pullan, senior vice president, director of e-commerce at Sotheby's, said. The majority of online sales, it added, was in the $1,000 to $50,000 range.

By Andrew Chung NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal jury in Texas on Monday said Apple Inc did not infringe five wireless technology patents owned by Canadian patent licensing firm Conversant Intellectual Property Management Inc [GEGGIM.UL] . Core Wireless Licensing Sarl, a subsidiary of Ottawa-based Conversant, sued Apple in 2012 in a federal court in Tyler, Texas, alleging the iPhone maker used its patents on wireless data transmission in its iPhones and iPads without permission. The company, whose patents were originally held by Nokia Corp, was seeking $100 million in damages at trial. It said it was entitled to a portion of Apple's device sales, and of similar, future devices.
The libertarian-leaning Kentucky Senator tweeted, Snapchatted and Instagrammed his way through the South by Southwest Interactive conference as he sought to make inroads among an independent-minded crowd that could serve as an important source of money, votes and programming talent for his expected presidential bid. It was the first time a potential candidate has participated in the conference, according to organizers. Paul spent much of the weekend talking about the shared DNA of the tech community and the libertarian movement, but he spent little time talking about net neutrality, the thorny question of how to ensure that all Internet traffic is treated equally. While many tech companies back recently approved rules that broadband providers such as Verizon and Comcast should be regulated like utilities, Paul and other Republicans have argued that the new regulations will choke off innovation.
Uber Technologies Inc's Chief Financial Officer Brent Callinicos is stepping down, the online taxi service's CEO said in an email to investors. The company has not named a replacement to Callinicos, but Gautam Gupta, "Brent's right hand on Strategic Finance" will be the acting head of the finance division, Chief Executive Travis Kalanick said in the email seen by Reuters. Callinicos, a former Google Inc executive, will be an advisor to Uber. "Brent has done a wonderful job here at Uber but has decided that it is time for his next journey, one where his wife and daughter take the front seat," Kalanick wrote in the email.
One of the NFL's most promising young players has announced that he is quitting professional football today, blaming the risk of concussion and serious brain injury on his decision to walk away from the sport. Chris Borland, linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, told ESPN that he was retiring because he wanted to do what was best for his health, and didn't think football was "worth the risk." By leaving the league at only 24 years old, after a stellar rookie season, Borland rapidly becomes one of the most damning examples of the NFL's ongoing concussion crisis. The linebacker began to have doubts about his long-term career as a professional football player in his very first NFL training camp, during which he received a suspected concussion on a running play but decided to play through it in a bid to make the team.

South Sudan: UN launches massive humanitarian operation after inter-communal clashes
The UN is mounting a "massive emergency support programme" to help thousands of people return home after inter-communal clashes between the Lou Nuer and Murle communities in South Sudan's Jonglei state.
The announcement came as Lou Nuer fighters withdrew from a potentially major confrontation in the town of Pibor, after UN peacekeepers and government forces set up defensive positions.
The latest in a series of retalitory attacks started when a group of 6,000-8,000 armed Lou Nuer youth marched on two large Murle towns in the South Sudanese state of Jonglei.
They first attacked Likuangole, which was only lightly defended, and then began marching on Pibor. As many as 50,000 people fled their advance, as international and government forces set up a defensive perimeter.
After intense negotiations, the fighters agreed to leave, and the situation could improve. But thousands of people now need food, water and shelter. Aid agencies are assessing their needs.
"The situation in humanitarian terms is grim," Lise Grande, UN Humanitarian Coordinator, told reporters in New York by video link.
"They haven't had food; they haven't had access to clean water. In a number of cases, some of the people are wounded. They haven't had shelter. As the day progresses, you can see hundreds of people coming back into town and there is no question they are in trouble."
WFP has flown in the first food supplies for the most vulnerable – including unaccompanied and orphaned children. Agencies will continue to provide help over the coming week.
Ms. Grande noted that despite the fighting and destruction, a much greater disaster had been averted. "At no point did Pibor ever fall," she said. "We rescued civilians, evacuated civilians, and we also helped deter violence. We are now providing emergency assistance to the people in Jonglei who need it the most."
In 2011, more than 1,100 people have lost their lives, and some 63,000 people have been displaced by inter-communal violence in Jonglei state. The number of people killed and displaced from the latest spate of attacks is yet to be confirmed.

The favourable business factors are attracting MNCs to make a beeline for China, with many firms drawing out long term plans for garnering a share of this growing market. However, the key determinant of success in this market will be affordable prices, and this will be the key challenge many that pharma MNCs will have to contend with while launching their products in the market.
Major Deals in 2013
Foreign MNC companies, have in recent times, shown extensive interest towards the Chinese market and this is evident from the fact that several major delas were signed between MNCs and Chinese firms in the beginning of 2013.
For example, Pfizer said in February that it will own 49 percent of a $295 million venture with Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical to develop off- patent drugs in China, and Merck & Co. inked a deal with Nanjing-based Simcere Pharmaceutical to produce cardiovascular medicines. Also, multinational companies are also looking to shift their focus toward more innovative products that are partly researched and developed in China.

By Tiernan Ray
Facebook (FB) received a couple of thumbs up today, from Topeka Capital Markets and Sterne Agee, both of which prognosticate about what may come down the road from more recent initiatives by the company to introduce new products.
Topeka's Victor Anthony today reiterates a Buy rating on shares of and a $36 price target, writing that the company has three potential "catalysts" in 2013, which are the monetizing of Instagram, which Facebook acquired this year, the introduction of its own search engine, and inclusion in the S&P 500.
Anthony declares that "Instagram has been a huge success for Facebook" because usage volume has topped Twitter in the U.S. in terms of "mobile engagement."
"A September report from comScore stated that in August Instagram had 7.3 million daily active users (DAUs) in the U.S., topping Twitter's 6.9 million mobile DAUs."
It won't be easy to monetize Instagram, but if Facebook can succeed, it could produce $250 million in additional revenue for Facebook annually, he believes:
We believe the solution is a native ad unit that is part of the user photo feed and could take the form of a sponsored photo ad unit, similar in function to the sponsored story ad unit that has worked impressively for Facebook on mobile. Brands and marketers could sponsor a photo that includes their brand, product, or a link to an offer. Facebook could decide to use the user's activity on Facebook (what they or their friends have liked), assuming the Instagram user is also a Facebook user, to determine what ads to show. Instagram's website can also serve as a destination for ads.
A search engine may be a big new debut next year worth billions to the company, he argues:
We have stated previously that we believe that a launch of a social search engine would be
worth $7-$8 per share to Facebook, based on conservative search monetization
assumptions, shown in the exhibit below. Here we assume that at full ramp, Facebook can
generate close to $5 billion in annual revenues and $2.5B in EBITDA from a search engine.
Mark Zuckerberg has already stated that the Company is actively working on a search
engine. We think he decides to launch the initial product at some point in 2013. The launch
should be a significant catalyst for the stock.
Anthony gives a back of the envelope on what S&P inclusion might require and might offer:
Garmin (GRMN) was the last addition to the S&P 500. The addition was announced after the close on December 5, 2012 and the first day price gain was 5.7%. Google's (GOOG) stock increased approximately 7% on the announcement of inclusion into the index. Dan Doo, Topeka's Head of Equity Portfolio Trading, estimates demand of 92-93 million shares of Facebook, 165% of Average Daily Volume, or approximately 10% of shares outstanding (Class A). Therefore, 10% of the shares would have to be including in index funds, which would reduce the supply of the stock. There are eight criteria for inclusion into the S&P 500 index [...] Of the eight criteria, we see the sector classification and the financial viability criteria, as two sticking points, with the latter, as likely the biggest hurdle. The financial viability criterion requires that companies report four consecutive quarters of positive earnings. Facebook reported a GAAP loss in 3Q12, so going by this strict requirement, Facebook will not be eligible until 4Q13, provided it reports positive GAAP net income in each of 4Q12-3Q13 quarters. However, we understand that the balance sheet criteria, which we believe Facebook meets, can be used in place of the four consecutive quarters of positive GAAP earnings.

Branded: Peta-gaye Levene-Thomas
How did you land this job:
I always wanted to work with a multinational company, as I strongly think that in any marketing career it is critical to have multinational experience, as they are primarily innovators, very strategic and business savvy opening the doors for you to enhance your experiences and skills, developing well-rounded and great marketing gurus. Specifically, Unilever has always been at the top of my aspirations regarding employment, and I had expressed an interest as they are one of the only companies in the world with over 400 brands focusing on health and well-being, touching people's lives positively in so many ways.
An opportunity opened in the Jamaican market, and as such I was contacted by a head hunter in Trinidad where I conducted myriad interviews, which clearly I did well, as I was promoted to the final step of meeting with the Unilever team from Dominican Republic, as the Jamaican market reports directly to this country. The interview was clearly successful as I was the candidate of choice.
How long have you been in this job?
I have been working with Unilever since June 2012, approximately eight wonderful and rewarding months.
What is great about your job?
Each and every day is plagued with different challenges, as Jamaica has a very competitive landscape. But with this, it keeps my mind very active with the drive, energy and commitment to achieve my company's goal. In addition, the high level of teamwork among the Unilever Greater Caribbean team motivates me as there is great support in achieving my company's goal. Overall, I love that the organisational culture fosters creativity and diversity, allowing me to think outside the box and trying new techniques to grow our business. I love that my job further develops my leadership skills in light of the major decisions that I am expected to make on a daily basis. Finally, I enjoy the exposure to different cultures which I garner from the different countries that I have visited since working with Unilever.
Tell us something that we might not know about Unilever brands?
Firstly, with regards to our foods portfolio, we continually work to improve the nutritional quality and taste of all our products. We develop new products, increase consumer choice, provide consumers with clear information, and seek to use our consumer communications to encourage the adoption of healthy habits. We have set ourselves stretching targets for improving nutrition -- to double the proportion of our portfolio that meets the highest nutritional standards, based on globally recognised dietary guidelines, by 2020. This will help hundreds of millions of people to achieve a healthier diet.
Specific to our Jamaican market, Wisynco is our foods distributor and our two biggest food categories are margarines and teas. Our margarine brands include I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Blue Band, Flora, and Country Crock; and our Tea Brands are "Lipton and Red Rose". We also have flagship brands such as Wish Bone Dressings, Hellmann's and Ragu. In addition, our ice cream brands, Ben & Jerry and Breyers, are the epitome of amazing. Overall, we have 14 food brands in Jamaica.
Why are Unilever products attractive options for consumers/customers?
Unilever products are attractive options for customers because:
1. Our brands play a major part in helping us achieve our sustainable living aims of helping more than a billion people improve their health and well-being, halving the environmental footprint of our products, and sourcing 100% of our agricultural raw materials sustainably.

every time i go to wal-mart, they have them in a diffrent place. today i couldn't find them at all...
Wait untill Ctmas...they should all be in a permanent spot for a while, after that wait for the release of the EPII toys, they should also remain in a spot for some time, after that its move along...move along...
As always...........L
Several of the WMs near me are rearranging the entire stores, not just SW in toys. Give 'em time. "We shall be patient."
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I'm betting Feb/March, around the time of Toy Fair 2002. I think this "floating section" idea is there specifically FOR x-mas.
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.
It is getting rather annoying. Not bad enough that I can't handle it though. Time will tell I suppose.
What I don't like is the seemingly sloppy job my Wal-Marts have been doing setting things up! Figures are everywhere and some are covered in other toys.
"Two in the box, ready to go, we be fast, and they be slow!"
Check out my art at The Terrace Room!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Wal-Mart has no cross-company continuity when it comes to toys. I live in a fairly Wal-Mart rich area (Sith Worm and Bubba Fatt, who get to the stores more often than I do can back my following statements up) and no two are alike in anything, ever! As far as the location of Star Wars, a few have adopted the floating location scheme, often to the point seen by many posting here, floating it right off the map. Others have had their (sparse) Star Wars selection in the exact same (ignored) spot since 1997, and with nothing new since the first POTJ releases.
This same trend is true of pricing. I've recently learned to bundle up a bunch of Star Wars figures and run them by the often hard to find price scanners in the store. Sometimes a random group of figures will scan at half price or less! I've bought figures at one store for $1.99 that scan for $6.99 at another store. Both stores had roughly the same supply of the same figures, why the price disparity?
The really ironic thing is that Wal-Mart seems to be the source of all upcoming assortment information (based on their detailed SKUs), yet they are rapidly becoming the worst place to try to find the actual figures when they are released!
"Does the name "Dingo" mean anything to you?" - Jedi Boulton to DingoDad at the October Dallas ComiCon.
I would agree that there is no continuity among area Wal-Marts. Case in point, within the last month I have seen POTJ figs for $6.44 (the Duros Wave) at one locale, 5 dollars at another (tons of Dirty Scout) and 3 dollars at yet another (just a bunch of Porkins, Chewie Mechanics, and Leia Bespins). And that last store sadly hasn't had new figs in 2 months and no figs at all in 2 weeks.
The one that had the Duros wave gets SW figs pretty regularly, but the other two get them very infrequently. Plus all three of them had no permanent shelf space for their SW space. Two were in a clearance aisle perpendicular to the Toy Dept while the other had an attached rack in the Action Fig department.
I thought, oh they would clear these desparities in time for the new Tie Bomber in October, but now it looks like that is on hold. Hopefully by the Christmas they will get their stuff together
"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is. But this I am sure of - do their duty the Jedi will." --Yoda from Attack of the Clones.
I'm with jeditricks on this one. I was in a Wal-Mart today and the toy dept manager said they are not carrying any star wars figures through the Christmas season.
I have found some of the new figures in some of the WM stores though.
The Wal-Mart were I live said that they aren't going to get any new Star Wars things in for at least 2 weeks. Of course that was a couple days ago so they should be in time for the Ep.1 DVD.
they only have 4 rows, but that'll do

I enjoyed my stay very much. I couldn't find the property initially but luckily Jan Hai's wife waited for me on the main street. The flat is very conveniently situated; barely 3 minutes to Mong Kok station with a convenient store and Watsons just downstairs.
Nothing to complain about the room interior either, which was very clean and bright and came with its own showering facilities. Many thanks to Jan Hai and his wife again; I left my keys in my room once and had to trouble them to get the door for me but they were very cool about it.
Very nice!
Very nice!
My favorite place to stay! Thank you
Nice basic room with TV, a working desk, great location and host is friendly too.
Excellent location!!! The room is decent, spacious and clean. Very quiet and away from the loud sounds from the streets of Mongkok.
Rooms were clean, a bit small, but nothing out of the ordinary for HK. There was a bit of noise from the street but nothing unusual for the area. Rooms were cleaned every day and all in all we had a pleasant stay. Finding the place was an ordeal. Both of the owners do not speak English, did not answer their phones and I had to contact their business partner instead. The address I was given did not coincide with the building we eventually stayed at. In general they are a tat bit slow in responding to emails. All in all, not bad for the location, and the price is definitely acceptable.
Stayed there 2 weeks:
It was very good. Then rooms are clean and tidy. Bathroom / shower was good and also comfortable for tall people (I am 194 cm). Tv and A/C were working great. Tv has HD and A/C is quite at night.
Service was very friendly and Jen was a great host!
I will choose this accommodation as standard for my next travels to HK.

Sculptures by world-renowned artists fill Princeton's campus, including Alexander Calder's "Five Disks: One Empty," seen here. Alfred Barr Jr. of Princeton's class of 1922, a member of the Putnam selections committee and a longtime friend of Calder, approached the famed American artist to "discuss a monumental work designed especially for Princeton." After responding that he would find it "fun to make something especially for you, and quite big," Calder created the 26-foot-tall steel sculpture, which was installed in 1971 in Fine Hall Plaza.

Artist Jim Isermann produced a metal-and-light sculpture that serves as a centerpiece for Sherrerd Hall's main stairwell. As with the rest of the building, the sculpture plays with light, focusing its lamps in myriad directions while at the same time reflecting the shapes and colors around it.

A new edition of the self-guided tour book, "Sculpture of Princeton University," produced by the Office of Communications, is available through that office, the University Store or the Princeton University Art Museum Store. This book includes information about most of the Putnam Collection pieces, as well as other selected sculptures. The main text in this story is adapted from the introduction in the book by James Steward, director of the art museum.

Princeton sculpture enriches beauty and character of campus
Posted June 16, 2011; 12:00 p.m.
Princeton is home to a significant permanent collection of sculpture by many important 20th- and 21st-century artists. Following in the centuries-old tradition of civic statuary and public monuments, the collection seeks to place extraordinary and durable works of art in the path of everyday life for members of the University community and visitors to campus, and like all great works of public art, the sculpture distributed across the Princeton campus embodies the dreams, hopes and desires of the community in which it appears. The collection has come to reflect the energies of generations, with new works added periodically to reflect the continuing strivings of many of the great artists of the past and present.
"Head of a Woman" by Pablo Picasso stands on the lawn in front of Spelman Halls. The artist's piece, constructed of folded and painted sheet metal, was only slightly larger than one foot high. Princeton's concrete version, nearly 16 feet high, was assembled by Norwegian artist Carl Nesjar, who served as an intermediary between Picasso and the Putnam Collection. (Executed by Carl Nesjar, designed by Pablo Picasso "Head of a Woman" Designed 1962, executed 1971 © 1962, Pablo Picasso) (Photo by Brian Wilson)
At the core of the collection are works assembled for the John B. Putnam Jr. Memorial Collection, funded by an anonymous benefactor and named for the World War II fighter pilot and member of Princeton's class of 1945 who flew 53 aerial missions before dying in a crash in 1944, aged 23. Most of the campus sculpture is under the responsibility of the Princeton University Art Museum. New sculptures from noted artists continue to enhance Princeton's campus, both outdoors as well as incorporated into the design of important new academic buildings.
"The Hedgehog and the Fox" by Richard Serra is located between Peyton and Fine halls next to Princeton Stadium and the Lewis Library. Like many of Serra's larger pieces, the viewer is meant to walk through it, experiencing the art and its surroundings together. (Richard Serra, "The Hedgehog and the Fox" © 2000, Richard Serra) (Photo by Denise Applewhite)
Standing in the ivy between Prospect House and McCormick Hall is the bronze sculpture "Titan" created in 2004 by Michele Oka Doner. It was inspired by ancient and fossil forms of the natural world. The work recently was donated to the Princeton University Art Museum in honor of longtime Princeton benefactor Micky Wolfson's 70th birthday. (Michele Oka Doner, "Titan" © 2004, Michele Oka Doner) (Photo by Denise Applewhite)
"Oval with Points" by British sculptor Henry Moore is one of the most popular pieces on campus. The bronze sculpture is located between Stanhope Hall and West College. Within a few months of its delivery on campus in 1971, the interior curves of the oval had been burnished through contact with bodies sitting on it, "to the delight of the sculptor." (Henry Moore, "Oval with Points" © 1969-70, Henry Moore) (Photo by John Jameson)
"Atmosphere and Environment X" by Louise Nevelson, installed in 1971 next to Firestone Library and facing Nassau Street, was her first large outdoor sculpture executed in Cor-Ten steel. (Louise Nevelson, "Atmosphere and Environment X" © 1969-70, Louise Nevelson) (Photo by Denise Applewhite)
"Resonance" by Kendall Buster is on display in the atrium of the new Frick Chemistry Laboratory in the science neighborhood on Washington Road. Suspended from the ceiling, it consists of multiple ovoid forms covered in semitransparent white cloth. It was commissioned specifically for the new building and was inspired by models employed to represent molecular structures.

I have had a lot of casual discussions this week surrounding the Bill Nye/Ken Ham debate from a couple of weeks ago. Included in this time frame was a formal panel discussion at LeTourneau University (LETU). While the formal discussion was centered on the debate, the other discussions focused on the areas of what does the Bible say about origins, what do Christians believe about origin, and what do churches teach about origins.
As I mentioned last week, in my opinion the debate was not a true debate (formal debate style based on public education), but it did bring up some interesting points and evidences about the creation/evolution controversy. Yet in many of the web responses and in my casual discussions, the general public seemed to be on a different page with their questions and understanding.
Most people utilized information received from the denomination of their childhood, and there was a tendency to only know one viewpoint for origins with little knowledge about other competing Bible-believing, God-fearing theories.
I would like to present a brief summary of 3 theories of origins that are held by Bible believing Christians around the country. This is not an exhaustive list of theories or web sites about those theories, just a sample with places to look for more information.
- Young Earth Creationism (YEC)
This is the position that Ken Ham believes. His web site, Answers in Genesis, and the website of the Institute for Creation Research are two places to gain more information about this position. This position holds to a literal reading of Genesis with the age of the earth determined by piecing together the genealogical accounts in the Old Testament. Creation occurred around 6,000 years ago during a 6 day event. The days were actual 24 hour days. The geology of the earth was developed from the flood of Noah. Many in the YEC camp believe that without this interpretation, you cannot believe the Bible, and therefore, it is foundational for belief in Jesus.
- Old-Earth Creationists
This position holds that the Genesis account of creation is correct, but the timing is not 24 hour days. A good website for this is Reasons to Believe. The account uses day-age definition which means that the Genesis day was describing an amount of time. The age of the earth is accepted as 4.5 billion years. The Big-Bang is accepted as the origin of the cosmos. The creation of life is not attributed to evolution, but God's intervention. Especially when humans are concerned, God created man in His image and distinct from other animals.
- Evolutionary Creationists
This position holds that evolution is God's means of creation. God created the universe, the earth, and all life over billions of years. A website for this view is BioLogos. This view rejects the idea that God started the universe and has no active participation in it. God is still active in the natural world and in human history. While the evolutionary process is what drives life, it is not a purposeless process, God still functions in the process.
Within each of these positions there are different levels of belief:
- Each view has conservative to liberal participants.
- Each has arguments for its interpretation of the Bible.
- There are supporting evidences given from science and history for their viewpoint.
- None of them accepts the notion that there is no God.
- Each of them acknowledges that it is the God of the Bible in control.
One thing I would like to see at ETBU is a chance to discuss these and other ideas about origins. Maybe in a discussion forum like LETU held last Monday. Maybe just sitting around the tables at the Student center or in lobbies of dorms.
As long as the environment can be nonthreatening so those who disagree can feel safe in discussing their concerns, I think we can get some stimulating dialogue that will help strengthen our faith. Then we will be better equipped to answer the agnostic/atheist when asked about our belief system.

New and in need of advice
Hello, everyone! I've been stopping by here for a few weeks now to browse the forum for advice on my 50 gallon tank, which has been causing me trouble.
I think I may be on the right track now so I was hoping I could post my situation and ask for some advice from people who have been doing this much longer than me.
I bought this 50 gallon tank from a friend at work who no longer wanted it. I had a 10 gallon tank with four koi fish in it (and a platy), all of which had grown to the point of being too big for their home. I cleaned and set up the 50g, rinsed and added all new gravel and decorations and a brand new Marineland Penguin Biowheel filter. I let the puppy run for about a week before I added the four koi and platy, whom were followed shortly after by two more small koi from a koi shop.
All was well for a month until overnight the tank went very cloudy. Of course, now I know that my tank was cycling, but at the time I was simply frustrated. I cut down on the feeding and did a few water changes. This helped a little but the tank would quickly cloud up again. Believing my filter was crap (and my wife complained that it was too loud) I bought a Whisper 60 and put it in. Things got better for a bit but then went all cloudy again. When the cloudiness didn't go away and the fish began keeping their dorsal fins down and rubbing on the bottom I put the biowheel back in alongside the Whisper and hoped that the two filters together could filter out the cloudiness. I kept this for the past two weeks with about a 15% water change every other day.
Last week I even stopped putting salt into my replacement water because I thought maybe I had used too much in the past.
Then I went on my fact-finding mission (which led me here) and now I could just hit myself on the head. I pretty much understand cycling by now and hope things are on their way to being right.
After another 15% water change I just did (with salt by now) the water is clearer than it's been in weeks, although still not totally clear. And here are the water test results I ran before the water change:
Nitrite: 2ppm
Nitrate: 150ppm
Ammonia: <.25ppm
pH: >7.6
I know these aren't where they need to be so I was hopeing for advice on what to do next. Fish are still rubbing the gravel and seem to bounce between schooling at the bottom and being highly exciteable.
Also, I still have both filters running. Is there such a thing as too much filtering? Should I take one of them off immediatly? And when I eventually do, which one do you folks suggest will work the best between the two?
Thank you so much!!
Hi James, Welcome to AC.
Because you are asking questions and need some help, I am moving your thread into the proper area so others can get some good answers to you. They will miss your thread here in Introduction.
Something is way off on that nitrate reading. I've never heard of a kit that would test that high. Nitrates over 20 are not good for fish. You need to do some large water changes to bring that number down if that's a true reading and I'm surprised your fish are alive. Sounds as they are being over-fed and a lot of food is rotting in the gravel so cut way back on the feeding, as well. A small amount every other day is fine right now until you get that tank cycled.
When your tank clouded up and got that white water effect, it's generally from over cleaning, changing out the filter pad or vacuuming the gravel. Doing so removes the good bacteria as well as the bad but this messes up your cycle. Do not cleaning right. Water changes are fine as the bacteria does not live in the water but on the hard surfaces.
First of all, koi are not for fish tanks unless they are huge tanks. They are generally kept in peoples ponds due to their fish. Koi and goldfish are also cold water fish and don't need a heater in the tank and should not be mixed with others that need heaters.
Second, your filters are way too small. That Whisper 60 is about the right size for a 20 gallon tank but not a 50 gallon and certainly not a tank with large fish. Figure a filter will take care of a tank about half what it claims it will.
Your fish are flashing (rubbing the gravel) due to, I believe, ICK. Check closely and see if you see tiny white specks all over the fish. If so, you will need to get Ick medication.
I see you mentioned using aquarium salt. That also is not needed for goldfish.
You have a slew of things not going your way here: The wrong fish for a tank, flashing, an uncycled tank, an inadequate filter system. I honestly think you need to get rid of all these koi fish. Possibly the fish store will take them all and you can cycle your tank and start out over again with a tank that is cycled and with the proper fish for your size tank or give them to someone for their pond.
This from the internet:
Q: How big do koi get? A: Depends on genetics and size of pond & quality of filtration. Koi are usually 6-8 long at 1 year of age. 12-16 at 2 years, with potential of 24 to 36 and 20-30 lbs. in 7 to 10 years. The largest koi have approached five feet in length. Females usually get much larger and therefore cost more than males. Males usually look their best when small. Females usually look their best and develop peak colors at a larger size when they mature.
Did you clean your gravel when you set up the tank?, get your self a fluval 405 or fx5 externel canister filter thay seam to be one of the best on the market right now, and i'd go with lady hobbs on the fish score!

I've checked for ICK recently, but it's really hard to tell since most of my fish are white with colored spots. Will treating the fish for ICK be harmful at all if they don't have it?
As for the filters, do you think it's wise then to just leave both filters in and running?
Looks more like your tank is overcrowded and seconding to ladyhobbs's comment aquarium is not for koi's....It should be because of that basically your water is getting cloudy faster

Even on white fish it is easy to see the ick on their tail fins but treating them for ick will not harm them if they do not have it, which I believe they do. But even this will not treat your whole problem and only delay what needs to happen and that's that those fish have got to go. Perhaps the fish store will take them but they won't take them back with ick so that needs to be treated first.

It was incredibly hard to see if there was anything on the fish but I treated them for ICK yesterday and today they're doing fantastic. Their dorsal fins are up and they look like they're back to their oldselves. That and I believe my cycle is done. The water is crystal clear and all stats are within normal ranges.
Thank you!

Just to let you know james, these fish "koi" grow pretty large as stated by Lady Hobbs. These are the facts that you cannot deny. Of course, they won't grow that big in such a confine space of 50 gallon tank, it'll most likely stunt the fish and die soon after.
Just a suggestion, if you wanted to set a cold-water fish why not consider goldfish. In many perspective it looked better in the aquarium. I mean Koi's are primarily kept in a pond due to their unique look from the bird-eye-view. IMO i found koi's actually pretty ugly in the aquarium perspective.

In January 2013, the IDF Life for a Child Programme was contacted by Tom Etheridge, an 18 year-old with diabetes studying at Maidstone Grammar School in Kent, United Kingdom (UK). Tom is Captain of the school's Invincible House, which comprises around 200 pupils aged 11-18. They used their house charity day to raise over £700 for Life for a Child. These funds will be used by the Programme to expand its multi-faceted support of children and youth with diabetes in developing countries.
A cheque for the donation was presented to Alex Silverstein (on the right in the picture), President of the IDF Young Leaders in Diabetes, during an assembly in late February.
Life for a Child would like to thank Tom and his fellow students for their efforts and generous support of the Programme.

Organizing ?

I really want to keep my kits together and not split them up. To you ladies that organize this way what are the categories that you have to organize your kits? Do you go by color or do you go by Theme like Winter, Holidays, Baby stuff? Does that make sense?

There is a download that it the first thing that shows when you search "psd thumbnail viewer" in google. The first post is by singh 400 and he has a download that will fix it. I've scanned it for viruses and there were none. Bob opened up the files to see what they really do, and there isn't a problem. I couldn't get the download in the first post to work today, but there is another link in post #46 of the thread that did work. The only problem I've found is that some people can't unzip the rar file. You can use winrar or a little free program called 7 zip that you can install to do that. Bob uses 7-zip at work all the time, so that is what I installed. Once you've unzipped the file, read the txt document for instructions. It was really easy to do and worked. I am running XP, but there are people who have it working in vista. I didn't read the whole thread carefully enough to remember if it works in Windows 7 as well. I love being able to see my psd files though.

When I first started digiscrapping, I had a separate folder for every designer at SG.
Then I re-did everything a couple of years ago and put all the kits in one folder, all the separate paper-packs in one and so on.
And without saying too much - I have an almost obscene collection of SG-supplies...
I find myself scrolling and scrolling and scrolling to find that particular collection which I've forgotten the name of, by a specific designer, that I'm sure of contains a paper or element I'm looking for...
So, I'm back to my initial system!
Because I'm usually pretty sure of which designer's style or supplies I'm looking for.
Now I go straight to that designer's folder and pull whatever I need!
Styles/Actions and LO Templates I still keep all together in separate folders regardless of designer.
BTW - it was a blast going through all my kits/collections and see all the beautiful work done by the designers here - past and present!
Posted 15 November 2010 - 03:34 AM
I have one folder with all the collections in them. The contents of each collection are in one folder (the only sub-folder in each is the alpha folder). I have the file names start with the designer initials (like ABR for Angie Briggs) and then sort the files by name. I'm a dork and have them sorted in another folder by type too- using Ro's system, but that is just me. You'll find the system that works best for you.
Me too - but want to use Ro's method - just takes so much time and right now I don't have the time and night time is not the time to do it - maybe one day.
Posted 27 November 2010 - 12:19 AM
So now I can start now and not get a headache later.
Thanks for all the tips.

As for collections, I keep the new clubs all together for a while. Other collections get broken up and put in files, such as Flowers, Frames etc. With Picasa it is so easy to bring up everything in a collection even if they're not stored together.
Posted 28 November 2010 - 05:43 PM
How do you all organize your styles and tools, and if they are organized, how do you load your favorites when you need them? I am using PSE6 and find that I have so many styles and actions, etc. that I do not use all the time, and it slows Adobe in its start up mode. I just want the computer to move a bit faster and to see only the styles I might be interested in using, rather than all of them at once.
I upgraded to PSCS cause I didnot want to load all styles everytime PSE started up.
Thier is no load styles option in PSE so you need to put all styles into PSE styles folder.
If you have categories set up you can see just the one type by selecting the category type like glitter,
metals,cardboard etc.
Without trust, honesty & loyalty all your friendships will turn to dust, be a friend worth having, be a light in the sky.

Inaction on global warming leaves ex-GM exec cold
Betsy Ancker-Johnson, GM's chief environmental officer, had called about 200 GM executives and managers to the company's Tech Center in Warren, Mich., for a briefing on the subject.
As Eads recalls, the company brass didn't show much interest.
Industry executives and government officials still aren't showing enough interest, he contends.
Eads thinks emissions of greenhouse gases must be cut substantially from current levels, not just from the projected higher levels of the future.
He's now a vice president in the Washington office of Charles River Associates International, a Boston research and consulting firm.
He was the principal author of a 2004 report on sustainable mobility for the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, an organization of 180 international companies.
The council report was sponsored by two oil companies, eight automakers and two suppliers. In an interview with Automotive News, Eads said the report did a pretty good job of laying out the challenge, if not the ways to meet it.
What is needed is "basically, totally redoing both the fuel and the vehicles over a 50-year or longer period," he said.
Ancker-Johnson, retired from GM, also remained active with the issue, serving on a National Research Council panel that in 2001 sought to answer basic climate science questions.

Many casual users of federated search criticize the technology for being slow to retrieve results. Serious researchers recognize the unique ability of federated search engines to mine the deep Web for quality science information that Google cannot find. These users recognize that there is no practical alternative to federated search for the best information.
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Such is the justification and hope for visualizations. Examples of enlightening visualizations are structural models of molecules like the carbon-60 Bucky Ball used in OSTI's recent YouTube video. The model shows a carbon atom at each intersection of molecular bonds.
"World Wide Science is the world's most important scientific resource, where the global science community can share knowledge." This remarkable encomium did not come from just any casual observer, but from a leader of one of the world's top information organizations. While interviewing with Information World Review, Richard Boulderstone, director of e-strategy and information systems at the British Library, shared this perspective.
A term of art now catching on is "e-Science." According to Wikipedia, "The term e-Science (or eScience) is used to describe computationally intensive science that is carried out in highly distributed network environments, or science that uses immense data sets that require grid computing; the term sometimes includes technologies that enable distributed collaboration, such as the Access Grid. The term was created by John Taylor, the Director General of the United Kingdom's Office of Science and Technology in 1999 and was used to describe a large funding initiative starting in November 2000. Examples of the kind of science include social simulations, particle physics, earth sciences and bio-informatics."
There was good news coming from the University of Tennessee (UT) and the State of Tennessee in 2009! A $1.8 million grant was announced that will help put more math and science teachers into Tennessee schools! This program, called VolsTeach, is designed to meet the increasing need for more math and science te

Bacitracin is a germ-killing medicine called an antibiotic, which is used to treat infections. Small amounts of Bacitracin are dissolved in petroleum jelly to create antibiotic ointments.
Bacitracin overdose occurs when someone accidentally or intentionally swallows products containing this ingredient or uses more than the normal or recommended amount of the product.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.

Bacitracin may be found in certain over-the-counter antibiotic ointments such as Bactine Triple Antibiotic and Neosporin. It may also be found in some prescription eye ointments such as AK-Tracin.
The medicine also comes in a form that can be given as a shot into a muscle or through a vein. (A real overdose usually only occurs this way.)
Bacitracin is very safe. However getting bacitracin in your eyes may cause redness and some pain and itching.
Intentionally eating bacitracin in large amounts may cause you to have some pain in your stomach and possibly throw up.
Rarely Bacitracin may cause an
Stop using the product. Seek immediate emergency medical care. If the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
If the chemical was swallowed, immediately give the person water or milk. Do NOT give water or milk if the patient is vomiting or has a decreased level of alertness.
Call poison control or your local emergency number (such as 911) for assistance.

James Everett Dutschke whose home and business were searched as part of an investigation into poisoned letters sent to the president and others has been arrested in the case, according to the FBI. Breaking news updates below.
UPDATE: 2 p.m. – From the U.S. Attorney's office …
OXFORD, Miss. B Felicia C. Adams, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi, and Daniel McMullen, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Mississippi, announce:
James Everett Dutschke, age 41, of Tupelo, Mississippi, has been arrested on a Criminal Complaint charging him with knowingly developing, producing, stockpiling, transferring, acquiring, retaining and possessing a biological agent, toxin and delivery system, for use as a weapon, to wit: ricin, and with attempting, threatening and conspiring to do the same, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 175(a). If convicted on this charge, Dutschke faces maximum possible penalties of life imprisonment, a $250,000 fine and 5 years of supervised release.
Dutschke is expected to appear in the United States District Court in Oxford, Mississippi, on Monday, April 29, 2013, before U. S. Magistrate Judge S. Allan Alexander. The arrest is based on a federal charge. A defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. The arrest resulted from a cooperative investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation-Mississippi and Memphis Joint Terrorism Task Forces, the United States Secret Service, the U. S. Postal Inspection Service, the U. S. Capitol Police, the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Mississippi and the Counterterrorism Section of the Justice Department's National Security Division, assisted by the following state and local agencies: Mississippi National Guard 47th Civil Support, Mississippi Office of Homeland Security, Lee County Sheriff's Office, Prentiss Couny Sheriff's Office, Corinth Police Department, Tupelo Police Department and Booneville Police Department.
The public is reminded to be vigilant in alerting any suspicious letters or activity to the appropriate authorities.
UPDATE: 1:05 p.m. – Dutschke's attorney, Lori Nail Basham, told The Associated Press Saturday in a text message that "the authorities have confirmed Mr. Dutschke's arrest. We have no comment at this time." Basham also said via text that she didn't know what the charges against Dutschke were. … .. On Saturday, Steve Holland said he can't say for certain that Dutschke is the person who sent the letter to his mother but added, "I feel confident the FBI knows what they are doing. We're ready for this long nightmare to be over," Holland told The Associated Press.
UPDATE: 10:29 a.m. – Statement from FBI …
James Everett Dutschke was arrested, without incident, at his residence in Tupelo, MS, at approximately 12:50 a.m. Saturday, April 27, by Special Agents of the FBI. Requests for any additional information concerning this matter must be addressed to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Mississippi.
Deborah Madden
Assistant to Chief Division Counsel/Public Affairs Specialist
Federal Bureau of Investigation/Jackson Field Office
Note: Online story posted at 9:05 a.m. with updates after original posting.
James Everett Dutschke was arrested around 1 a.m. at his home in Tupelo Saturday and turned over to the U.S. Marshal Services without incident, Tupelo Police Chief Tony Carleton, confirmed Saturday to the NEMS Daily Journal at 9 a.m.
FBI spokeswoman Deborah Madden tells The Associated Press 41-year-old Everett Dutschke was arrested Saturday at his Tupelo home in connection with the letters, which allegedly contained ricin. They were sent last week to President Barack Obama, Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and earlier to an 80-year-old Lee County Justice Court Judge, Sadie Holland.
Dutschke is expected to appear in federal court Monday. It appears he is being held at the Lafayette County Detention Center. No officials have confirmed that information. Dutschke's attorney, Lori Nail Basham, could not immediately be reached for comment.
Federal officials staked out the South Canal Street home of Dutschke all day Friday after searching his home and taekwondo studio Tuesday and Wednesday.
A neighbor who lives across the street from Dutschke but preferred not to be identified said he observed on Thursday and Friday unmarked cars parked nearby that didn't belong to residents living in the area.
"We're ready for our neighborhood to get back to normal," he said.
An investigation into Dutschke began in earnest when his name was mentioned at the Monday hearing of Paul Kevin Curtis, the Corinth man formerly suspected of mailing ricin letters to officials on April 8.
Charges against Curtis have since been dropped. Though federal officials have kept quiet, Dutschke appears to be at the center of attention.
Tupelo Insurance agent Jack Curtis, brother of Kevin Curtis and former employer of Dutschke, said Saturday morning he was interested in seeing any evidence authorities collected related to the new arrest.
"If they have the evidence, let the chips fall where they may," Jack Curtis said. "I hate to speculate on anyone's guilt until the evidence comes out, but it would further vindicate my brother."
Curtis' attorney, Christi McCoy, said Saturday: "We are relieved but also saddened. This crime is nothing short of diabolical. I have seen a lot of meanness in the past two decades, but this stops me in my tracks. "
Ryan Taylor, a spokesman for Wicker, said Saturday that "because the investigation is still ongoing, we're not able to comment."
Dutschke said earlier he was in contact with the FBI almost a week before Monday's hearing.
Earlier this week Dutschke said he suspects his name was one given to the FBI by Curtis' ex-wife when she was asked for names of people who could have framed Curtis.
The only evidence against Curtis was a similarity in the content of the letters and a post he made on Facebook, both included the signature, "This is KC and I approve this message."
Dutschke said previously he gave the FBI permission to search his home Tuesday morning and they did from around 1:30 p.m. until 11 p.m.
The officials have maintained a presence all week in Dutschke's Canal Street neighborhood, setting up an observational parameter around his home.
Dutschke has said throughout the investigation that he has only come into contact with Curtis on three occasions. Two of those occasions were in person and Dutschke said Curtis approached him and "accosted" him about trying to publish a letter or article written by Curtis.
Dutschke said on a third occasion they had an email exchange regarding a Mensa certificate posted on one of Curtis' social networking pages.
He said Curtis' certificate was fake and emailed Curtis to tell him to remove the certificate immediately.
The email exchange was their last contact and happened June 1, 2010, according to Dutschke.
This is not the first time Dutschke has been involved with law enforcement officials. Dutschke is currently out on $25,000 bond facing three state indictments that he allegedly fondled three females under the age of 16.
Dutschke has twice run for public office in Northeast Mississippi. In 2007, he unsuccessfully challenged Democratic incumbent Steve Holland for a seat in the state House of Representatives as a Republican. In 2008, he lost a bid for Lee County election commissioner as a Democrat.

...I really really cannot tolerate Goku's japanese voice. Every other character is fine but hearing Japanese Goku is like when Lord Slug heard Gohan's whistling.
"It's like a drill going in one ear and another drill going in the other ear...AND THEY'RE MEETING IN THE MIDDLE!"
Rumored to have ssj3 Gotenks, ssj3 Goku, ssj3 Vegeta, and ssj3 Gogeta. Fricking FAP if true!
When did Vegeta ever go ss3?
A shot of "Birusu", the God of Destruction, showcases the deity slamming Majin Buu and Super Saiyan Gohan into each other. Another scene showcases #18 going up against the god (who is holding chopsticks), as well. Fans' questioning over the comparative-size of Pilaf and his minions seems to be addressed (which is quite interesting considering how things start in Dragon Ball GT), and Vegeta may possibly be playing the exposition role yet again by potentially knowing of and meeting Birusu in the past.
Taking Buu and Gohan by the hair, this is Birusu's overwhelming power!! Can Goku possibly win against such a foe?
God of Destruction and Artificial Human?! Super battles between Birusu and the warriors of Earth will be made a reality one after another!!
What's this?! That Pilaf gang has been turned into children…?!
Vegeta has met Birusu before?!
Even Vegeta is no match before Birusu!! At any rate, it appears that Birusu has an interest in the Saiyans…?!
Who is the warrior that the God of Destruction seeks?!

Pemphigus vulgaris is an
Pemphigus is an autoimmune disorder. The immune system produces antibodies against specific proteins in the skin and mucus membranes. These antibodies break the bonds between skin cells. This leads to the formation of a blister. The exact cause is unknown.
Sometimes pemphigus is caused by certain medications, although this is rare. Medications that may cause this condition include:
Pemphigus is uncommon. It most often occurs in middle-aged or older people.
About 50% of people with this condition first develop painful blisters and sores in the mouth, followed by skin blisters. Skin sores may come and go.
The skin sores may be described as:
They may be located:
The skin separates easily when the surface of unaffected skin is rubbed sideways with a cotton swab or finger. This is called a positive Nikolsky's sign.
A skin biopsy is usually done to confirm the diagnosis.
Severe cases of pemphigus may need wound management, similar to the treatment for severe burns. People with this condition may need to stay in a hospital and receive care in a burn unit or intensive care unit.
Treatment is aimed at reducing symptoms, including pain. It also aims to prevent complications, especially infections.
Treatment may involve:
Body-wide (systemic) therapy is needed to control pemphigus and should be started as early as possible. Systemic treatment includes:
However, side effects from systemic therapy are a major complication.
Some antibiotics are also effective, particularly minocycline and doxycycline. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is occasionally used.
Plasmapheresis is a process in which antibody-containing plasma is removed from the blood and replaced with intravenous fluids or donated plasma. Plasmapheresis may be used along with systemic medications to reduce the amount of antibodies in the blood.
Ulcer and blister treatments include soothing or drying lotions, wet dressings, or similar measures.
Without treatment, this condition can be life threatening. Severe infection is the most frequent cause of death.
With treatment, the disorder tends to be chronic. Side effects of treatment may be severe or disabling.
Your health care provider should examine any unexplained blisters.
Call your health care provider if you have been treated for pemphigus vulgaris and you develop any of the following symptoms:
