Fry piranhas
Hi. I have a lot of fry piranhas, they're 4 days old now. I'm afraid to put them in the new tank that I have set up with my wife. When is the right time for me to move them? The tank where they are now has a lot of cotton like thing that's everywhere. Should I take them out? When can I do water change? Suppose to be it was the time for water change when I realized they're not behaving the usual. That's when my wife started searching what to do. Please help us cuz we know that not everyone is blessed with fry. Thank you guys in advance!
The white cotton on the bottom is likely fungus caused by deteorating water quality. Change the water and remove as much as possible. If the new tank is cycled I don't see why you cannot move them, especially when conditions in the old tank seem to be going downhill fast. If they are too small for a net, use a siphon to suck them up.
+1 to the above. the cottony substance has to go. at the very least do a water change and suck out as much of it as possible asap.
are the piranha fry eating? keep them well fed with frequent water changes for optimal growth.your friendly neighbourhood arowanaman!
Piranha fry are extremely fragile. Moving them may damage their spines. I have had spawns of several thousand, perhaps as many a 3,000. For the first hours after hatch you will get a lot of egg mucous. You need to put in several well seeded sponge filters to convert this debris into nitrate. The fry are very susceptible to water quality and gill burning. I would only do a 20% tap water change using dechlors every 6 hours or so. If you can preage some that will really help. If you can use water from an existing tank this will allow perhaps 50% water changes each 8 to 10 hours without too much die off from shock. As soon as the egg yolk is absorbed they will take baby brine shrimp. It is very critical that you space them well. They are genetically designed by nature to grow at various rates. This allows for the larger fish to actually survive from the smaller fish in times of crowding and stress. This can have a affect on your numbers. Once they are the size of a pea I switched mine to frozen beef heart. At nickel size I put them on boiled chicken. Just buy some breasts and boil them. Do not introduce skin or fats into the tank, it must be lean. Using other types of meats adds a lot of fat. Turkey may be used but the price is rather high. I was able to get 1200 or so to nickel size in around two months. That is a lot of work.

2009 RealizmIV: GTA IV environment enhancement
Grand Theft Auto IV - Modifications | @ 11:27 PM MDT | By rappo
Almost all of us who have played GTA IV on the PC have experienced the same thing - our computer hardware is decent but GTA IV just wants more! This thirst to get out of the medium settings and low FPS range in GTA IV is what lead the RealizmIV team to create a brand new graphical enhancement for the game.
Download now!
There have been other enhancements for GTA IV released in the past, but RealizmIV seems to be the most well-planned and complete one of them all. The main mod installation will allow you to bump up your GTA IV settings without seeing a drop in FPS, as well as enhance the environment effects like weather and shadows for added realism. The RealizmIV team also offers a complete texture overhaul to give you higher quality textures and lower FPS rates!
Check out the video preview below:
Due to its file size, the mod isn't available for download straight from our database, but I've compiled all the links you need in an HTML file available for download at GTA4-Mods.com.
Thanks to rinuextreme for the links! Discussion also available at GTAForums

Attention Students: 2013-14 applications for OSAP and Ontario Tuition Grants are now live
Jul 29/13
For all students who are considering applying for government funding for the upcoming 2013/2014 academic year, the online application for both the Ontario Tuition Grant program (OTG) and the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) are now available.
These programs may be accessed directly through the government web portal or through the Laurier Student Awards Office web page.
First time applicants: note that you will be required to submit a Master Student Financial Assistance Agreement (MSFAA) to your closest post office in order to have your funding electronically transferred to your account. Returning students who have already submitted an MSFAA will not need to resubmit this document, provided that their banking information from 2012/13 has not changed. If you have changed your banking information, access the Bank Account Change Request form in the National Student Loans Service Centre Toolbox to update your information.
Students who rely on OSAP as their primary source of funding for university should indicate that all fees be redirected to the school on their behalf to pay for their outstanding tuition/residence costs. Students who do not choose the redirect option will not have the opportunity to have late payment fees reversed by the Business Office.
Similar to past years, the Student Awards Office encourages all students to apply early for OSAP funding. Due to the high volume of applications, students should apply by mid-July to allow for processing of documentation and to ensure that their funding will be available to them at the start of the semester. After mid-July, the Student Awards Office cannot guarantee processing of documentation prior to the start of the fall 2013 semester. Students who apply for OSAP funding and submit all required documentation before August 1 will be eligible to have their late payment fees reversed by the Business Office provided the redirection of fall OSAP funding covers all outstanding fees. See Business Office requirements for full details.
Best Wishes,
The Student Awards Office Team

Which if we are about 5 million over the cap with the $94 cap figure we would be about 5 mil. under the cap without cutting Seau and Gus, restructure of Zach and Taylor and Carter, we should have enough wiggle room to sign some guys including Brees.

21st Century Employee Theft: Using the Internet at Work. Is your company clear on its policies?April 08th, 2008
There is a new type of employee theft that is causing "lawsuits and losses" for employers: excessive use of the internet at work for things other than work. And, with more Millennials entering the workforce, employers believe that it will become an even bigger issue than it has been. Yes, Boomer and Gen Xers are using the internet at work for things other than "business", but the issue will get bigger if companies don't get strict about their internet use policies.
1. Have you outlined a policy for employee participation on blogs?
Sound hardcore? Maybe, maybe not. But you need to determine how YOUR company feels about this and get policies in place. Did you know that a new blog is created every second? Millennials love blogging, as do other generations, but Millennials will more likely be participating in blogging on a regular basis (more that older generations) and your company policies must be UP-DATED to accomodate the changing times.
2. Outline a policy for viewing "those types" of pics AND playing online games.
Millions of people look at porn on their computers at work. I cannot even believe how dumb that it, but whatever. Nonetheless, it's a HUGE problem. A recent study by the AMA showed that 1/3 of bosses have fired employees for viewing dirty pics/videos at work. That's a HUGE number!
And make sure your workforce is clear about your policies on playing online games. Is it okay on their lunch break? Or NOT AT ALL at work? Online game play at work is rampant, so make sure you have your policies in order.
3. What about talking dirty?
Times they are-a-changing! It's time for your company to dust off its old employee policies and up-date them based on REAL 21st Century issues.
Okay…time to stop blogging and get back to work. Luckily no one can fire me!

Take the N or Q train to the Broadway stop in Queens and walk eight blocks west on Broadway (toward the East River) to the intersection of Vernon Boulevard.
In this gutsy and sidesplitting self-examination, conflicted ventriloquist Nina Conti takes the bereaved puppets of her mentor on a pilgrimage to the resting place for deceased performers' puppets. Nina and "Monkey" will appear live!
Filmmaker Nina Conti will be in attendance for a Q and A following the screening.
Her Master's Voice (Nina Conti | USA | 60 min.)
You may think of ventriloquism as a stale vaudeville art: wooden dummies and even more wooden jokes. But Her Master's Voice is not your grandfather's ventriloquism. Nina Conti's act is more off-broadway avant garde than Catskills comedian. Her intelligent (and hilarious) performances offer a kind of meta-theater examination of personality, humanity and reality—from the perspective of a fuzzy hand-sized monkey.
Conti had taken up ventriloquism years earlier as a means of creative expression that opened up strong new aspects of her personality. As the prodigy of legendary British theater instructor Ken Campbell, Conti became one of the leading lights of a modern ventriloquist movement. Though now, after years with her simple but charmingly outspoken puppet Monkey by her side, Conti is on the verge of giving up her career. But when Campbell dies and bequeaths to Conti his collection of puppets—including one eerily bearing his own bushy eyebrows and beaked nose—Nina is forced to reconcile her art form and her sense of self.
Amongst droves of other ventriloquists, the impressive array of clever puppets, vocal feats and behind-the-scenes tricks is endlessly entertaining. But the film is driven by Conti's astonishing introspection, split among the several personalities of her puppets. Her conversations with her furry little alter-ego are startling for their honesty, as things Monkey says genuinely make Nina laugh and cry. Monkey even reveals intimate facts about Ken and Nina that the supposed puppet-master might rather have kept secret. The serious soul-searching and borderline tragedy is balanced by the droll absurdity of the adorable puppets, and in the end Conti's personal journey and the resulting routine are charming and fascinating, giving voice to the inner life of a daring and unique artist in a story that will delight kids and adults.

Sacha the Bear (Henri Desaunay | France | 12 min.)
A bear finds refuge from a hunter by a pretty girl who lives in the woods. This fun and well-crafted film utilizes archetypal fairytale characters, but their well-ordered world lapses into confusion, as the naïve girl starts acting like a seductive woman, the lord starts acting like a beast, and the beast seems surprisingly human.
Burt Talks to the Bees (Isabella Rossellini | USA | 2 min.)
Meet the bees—the queen, the workers and the drones—in this wonderfully fantastic and wildly educational series of short films created by Isabella Rossellini, actress, director and uncanny Burt impersonator. Once you meet them, you'll want to save them too. Visit www.wildforbees.com to see how.
Shenandoah and the Night
Shenandoah Ableman has the rare ability to turn any genre into a voluptuous experience. Comfortable singing in front of styles ranging from German cabaret to doo wop, her quintetShenandoah and the Night are bringing sexy back... one sultry style at a time. The band's new self-titled debut EP showcases this sensuality with deep confidence through a series of songs steeped in the tradition of American folk, but featuring a very un-American, almost overwhelming, nostalgic power - in the most literal and decadent definition of "romanticism". These songs ("So Fine" and "All The Beautiful Ladies" deserve a honorable mention) make us flirt with "dangerous" thoughts like the fragility of love, the desire for the lost past, the unreachability of perfect happiness, our vain but primary quest for beauty. They might not make us jump or feel happy - but the do make us feel alive. Can you afford to ignore it?

Mariners fall to Padres in first Cactus game
PEORIA, Ariz. - Rookie second baseman Jedd Gyorko launched a grand slam in the first inning Friday as the Padres jumped on Mariners starter Hector Noesi and rolled to a 9-3 victory in the annual Charity Game at Peoria Stadium.
Noesi lasted just two-thirds of an inning in the Cactus League opener as the Padres touched him for six runs (four earned) on four hits, four walks and an error. Noesi, who went 2-12 with a 5.82 ERA last year, threw 42 pitches before giving way early to Oliver Perez.
"We got a lot of guys in there today, and for the most part, they threw the ball well," said Mariners manager Eric Wedge. "Hector struggled a little early on and was up a little bit, but we got a lot of guys in there for the first time, so that was good for them. It was nice to get that first one going."
Gyorko, competing with Logan Forsythe for a starting job this spring, drove a Noesi fastball over the left-field fence to get the Padres off to a quick start. The 24-year-old hit 30 home runs last year while splitting time between Double-A and Triple-A.
Padres starter Sean O'Sullivan threw two scoreless innings and picked up the win. The right-hander, a non-roster invitee trying to earn a rotation berth, struck out one and allowed only one base runner on a hit batter while tossing just 26 pitches.
San Diego right fielder Chris Denorfia went 2-for-4 with an RBI.
Perez inherited a bases-loaded jam from Noesi, but he ended the threat with a ground out and wound up throwing 1 1/3 innings with no hits and one walk. The rest of the Mariners' pitchers each threw one inning apiece.
Seattle finally got on the board in the sixth when Francisco Martinez doubled and eventually scored on a wild pitch to cut the lead to 6-1 after manager Eric Wedge had replaced all his starters except right fielder Michael Morse.
Morse finished 1-for-3, while catcher Jesus Montero was the only other Mariners starter with a hit as he singled and was hit by a pitch in two-at-bats. Casper Wells hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to round out the game's scoring.

Yes, I agree with you in principle.
No doubt that most of the folks that settled this country were of Christian decent and that is a big part of our culture. We are just lucky that we had men such as Jefferson, Adams and Washington who were intelligent enough to see through much of the religious folly that had fallen on most common men. That they had the insight to realize that an organized state sponsored religion would be a dual edged sword, so to speak and that a state religion would lead to tyranny. Just look at countries like Iran.
BTW, I was raised in a very strict Christian household where both Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny were banned! When my daughter was a teen, she asked me why we didn't belong to any particular church. I told her that I felt that it would hinder her from discovering for herself what the world and religion were about. That if it truly were going to mean anything to her that she would have to work that out in her own mind.

Indiana tops Illinois 52-35
High-scoring Indiana next comes to Camp Randall
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana 52, Illinois 35: Cody Latimer set career highs with 11 catches for 189 yards and three touchdowns as the host Hoosiers snapped a three-game skid, outlasting the Fighting Illini in a Big Ten shootout.
Nate Sudfeld threw for 267 yards and three touchdowns for Indiana, which soared past its 42-point scoring average coming into the game. Tevin Coleman had a career day, rushing 15 times for 215 yards and two touchdowns, including a 75-yard scamper that set a career high, for the Hoosiers (4-5, 2-3), who extended a program record with their 10th straight game with 28 points or more.
Nathan Scheelhaase threw for a career-best 450 yards and two touchdowns on 38-of-57 passing for Illinois (3-6, 0-5), which lost its fifth straight game. Steve Hull set personal bests as well, hauling in nine catches for 224 receiving yards, including touchdown catches from 60 and 54 yards out.
Coleman opened the scoring with a 64-yard dash on Indiana's second play from scrimmage and the teams traded touchdowns until Scheelhaase threw for a score and ran for another in a 3-minute span early in the third quarter to give Illinois a 28-21 lead. Sudfeld and Latimer answered quickly, hooking up on touchdown strikes of 41 and 50 yards on back-to-back drives to put the Hoosiers back in front.
The Illini tied the game at 35-35 when lineman Corey Lewis pounced on the ball in the end zone after it came loose on a Josh Ferguson plunge but Coleman's career-long rumble put Indiana back in front. Illinois turned the ball over on downs twice down the stretch as a 2-yard run from Stephen Houston and a 22-yard field goal from Mitch Ewald put the game out of reach.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Illinois entered play 10th, and Indiana 12th, in the Big Ten in points allowed. ... Hull, who was recruited as a wide receiver, played at safety the last three years before returning to his natural position for his senior year. ... Indiana S Mark Murphy returned from a third-quarter ankle injury to record his first interception of the season - a pick in the end zone that thwarted Illinois' final scoring attempt.

Wallace accomplice charged for helping hide cop shooter
SPOKANE, Wash. - One of Charlie Wallace's accomplices is now in custody in the Spokane County Jail for allegedly hiding him from drug detectives.
Robert Ruth will be staying in jail for a while after a judge refused to reduce his bail, which is currently set at $100,000.
Detectives say Ruth lied to them about Wallace's whereabouts and subsequently set the stage for what could have been a deadly shootout.
As Wallace led police on a high speed chase through north Spokane, regional drug detectives were wondering why Wallace wasn't still behind bars. They had already arrested him on heroin charges, and thought he would stay in jail until his trial, but on May 31 Wallace was released to a Spokane Valley Drug Rehabilitation Facility.
"This right here is his criminal history, it's fairly thick and I question why this individual was allowed to be on the streets of Spokane instead of being in jail where he should have been," Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said.
Instead of jail, Wallace slipped out of the rehab center and walked across the street to Valley Hospital, where he called a friend who gave Wallace a ride to north of Deer Park. In the hopes of re-arresting Wallace again, drug detectives looked up Wallace's heroin pusher, Robert Ruth.Wallace accomplice Robert Ruth
Ruth told investigators he had only seen Wallace once after his escape and didn't know where he was, but cell phone records show the men had talked 17 times. That's why detectives started watching Ruth at a property on North Alcan.
This is where the afternoon before the shooting, they saw Ruth helping someone who resembled Wallace loading motorcycles onto a trailer.
When Wallace drove away they followed his Chevy Tahoe and asked two marked patrol units to pull it over. Deputy Mark Spink and Mike Northway were those patrol deputies that pulled Wallace over.
When they pulled over the shooting started, and even as Wallace led police on that chase, when detectives called Ruth if he knew where Wallace was, Ruth told him he didn't know.
In court Friday Ruth's family asked that he be released pending his trial.
"I would like to tell the court my brother is not a risk if he's let out, he will make his court appearances, he has been keeping his life on track," Robin Smith said.
Judge Annette Plese kept Ruth's bail set at $100,000, an unusually high amount for someone accused of rendering criminal assistance.

He is a very nice dog. He has not been used too much...yet. Jimmy is a straigth shooter. Debbie(his wife) is super nice. Jimmy is one of my ten favorite judges, and he can be by wingman/bird thrower anytime!!!!
Cane is a very nice dog very consistant and completely ametuer trained. Have seen one of his pups still young but very nice and good looking.
Don't quote me for sure on this, but didn't he win the first Amateur that he was ever run in?

really nice, always looks good.
Call Jimmy, he'll answer all you questions.
Cane is one those dogs who is hard to come by. He is balanced. He can mark, he will handle. He is a team player.
Wasn't there a thread not too long ago asking about FT dogs that were completely trained and handled by amateur owners under 45 years of age? It was true at the time that Cane was handled by an amateur handler that fell into this category.
The trained and handled part is still most certainly true, but as of this month I'm not so sure about the other part....
Hello Jimmie, dear!

It really is about time I started writing Advagato entries. I'm intending to keep this diary purely for my development braindumps and leave whinging about my life, job and health to my more anonymous kuro5hin blog.
I have been a GStreamer developer for over a year now - as if there isn't enough of us posting to this site already. Until recently I have been developing mainly plugins and libraries, but I now find myself as the primary contributer to the GStreamer Media Player. I'm not sure how it happend really - all I wanted to do was add Dynamic Parameter support to the volume slider and I ended up touching almost every line in the source tree.
My initial interest in GStreamer was similar to wingo's - to use it as a core framework for music composition and audio processing. Now it seems for the moment at least my focus is moving from media production to media consumption, and this is quite a change in mindset. Writing software for a small group of artists is very different to writing software for the masses and I am currently welcoming the challenge.
I have the following goals for the player:
- be the best option for viewing video either locally or over a network
- be an adequate option for playing any audio media
- be as integrated as possible into the Gnome desktop
There is currently a bonobo control and a Nautilus view which both work. I imagine their development will drift in different directions since the view has a more specific focus. I was surprised how easy Bonobo was to develop in. It really does need some more documentation and the current docs needs updating for Gnome2 changes. I have just got i18n working but until the player moves to Gnome CVS there won't be a lot of translating going on.
I really enjoyed GUAD3C and I thought briefly about going to Boston but I knew I'd experience the sort of sleep deprivation and stress that thomasvs is currently going through. I haven't heard much feedback from his player workshop yesterday but I'd like to incorporate any useful ideas into the player. While I'm sure some interesting things will come out of the workshop, I would be wary of a large group of people trying to define what the best Gnome player would be. Design by committee usually produces suboptimal results so I think it would be best if the workshop results were summarised and taken by a small focused team to implement what makes sense.

How do you live trash-free?
Posted On June 27, 2012 by Guest Blogger
Earlier this month, Ocean Conservancy launched the Trash-Free Challenge to start a movement to reduce the trash we all create. We set out with a simple goal: If we could get 10,000 people to go trash-free for one month, we could stop over a million pounds of trash before it had a chance to reach our ocean. As we wrap up our challenge, here are some things participants have been doing to reduce their trash output. Thanks to everyone who has shared their tips with us!

Alternate name: Black-tailed Deer
Family: Cervidae, Deer view all from this family
Description Ears are larger and tail is smaller than that of the White-tailed Deer. Males have dichotomously branching antlers that are usually shed in January and regrow over the summer. The tail is large and black in coastal subspecies, smaller with a black tip in interior subspecies. Interior animals are pale brown or tan in the winter with a large white rump patch, while coastal animals are darker and grayer with a smaller white rump patch. All races are rusty red in new summer coat. Fawns are reddish with white spots. There is a V-shaped dark mark from the point between the eyes, upward and laterally, especially in males.
Dimensions 1.3-1.7m, 13-22cm, 40-120kg; / 1.2-1.6m, 12-21cm, 30-80kg
Habitat Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Meadows & fields, Forests & woodlands, Alpine & subalpine habitats, Cities, suburbs & towns
Range Plains, Great Lakes, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Texas, California, Northwest, Western Canada, Alaska
Discussion When alarmed they bound away in a stot, with four feet hitting the ground together at each bound (the White-tailed Deer springs from hind to front feet). Populations in northern mountains migrate up to higher elevations in the summer and down to the foothills in the winter. Prefers mixed habitat with both open areas for feeding and forest or brushy areas for protection. Common in western mountain forests, deserts, and brushlands.

By Floyd Ingram/Chickasaw Journal
HOUSTON – A dream that began more than 30 years ago has opened its doors to Chickasaw County.
The Chickasaw County Genealogical and Historical Society hosted a two-hour preview of the Chickasaw Museum in Joe Brigance Park and opened the doors for the first time at last weekend's Flywheel Festival.
"We really are proud of this facility and when we first started planning it, I would have never thought it would have turned out this beautiful," said Historical Society President Larry Davis. "A lot of people from all across Chickasaw County worked a long time and very hard to make this building happen."
The museum is a large two-room structure with an office and genealogical research center on the south side and an exhibit room, complete with display cases and four walls filled with artifacts.
"We really do have a lot of very nice exhibits that tell a lot about the history of Chickasaw County," said Davis. "We hope people will use this facility and drop by to see what we offer."
The museum is the second phase of a three-phase plan for the Historical Society.
"We now have roughly 2,900 square feet of display space," said Davis. "The Ag Barn just south of the museum is about 2,000 square feet, the museum has 800 square feet and the blacksmith shop is about 100 square feet."
He said Phase III will add more exhibit space to the museum.
That building will be constructed on property north of the museum.
The Historical Society had been located in a county building on Airport Road and had outgrown that space.
Davis said the museum will be manned by volunteers and they are working on developing scheduled hours.
"This really does belong to the community," said Davis. "The community built it, they have helped furnish it and they will staff it and make it the success I know it will be."

New baseball, softball and tennis facilities open
Binghamton University formally opened its new tennis, baseball and softball facilities on Sept. 21, with a ceremony on campus. The event, which included a formal tour of the facilities, culminated the year-long project that began last September.
"Division I athletics requires great leadership, great coaches and great players, but it also requires great facilities as well," Binghamton University President Harvey Stenger said. "What's neat about this is that all of these things came first and the facilities came after. I can only imagine what the future performances of our programs will be now that these facilities are in place."
"These three venues provide our student-athletes with some of the finest facilities in the Northeast," Binghamton Director of Athletics Patrick Elliott said. "Our baseball, softball and tennis programs all have strong winning traditions. Our hope is that these new state-of-the-art facilities will give our coaches and student-athletes an even greater edge while competing for conference championships and NCAA tournament bids."
The event was also attended by state Sen. Thomas Libous and state Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo, both of whom spoke to the media, coaches and student-athletes who were present.
"When the Events Center was opened in 2004, we saw the need to upgrade the other campus athletic facilities to a Division I caliber," Libous said. "I am very proud to be here with my colleagues to celebrate this special event that you all deserve."
"This is a great day to be here," Lupardo said. "We think about our support for Binghamton University a lot and we will continue to be behind the University every step of the way."
The baseball and tennis projects were upgraded where the old facilities existed, adjacent to the Events Center. The softball facility, however, is brand new, having been built behind the Bearcats Sports Complex. The old softball field was located behind the East Gym.
Binghamton's baseball team, which won the 2009 America East title as well as four straight regular-season conference championships (2007-10), will now play on a field that features 464 stadium seats and professional-style, sunken dugouts. In addition, the field has a new natural grass surface with irrigation, drainage and professional-grade infield dirt.
"Our guys are thrilled with the facility," head coach Tim Sinicki said. "Every day they come out is a true sense of excitement and also a great sense of appreciation for what the University has done for us."
The softball team, which has won at least 20 games each of the past three years, moves into a facility that has stadium seating for 236 fans, professional-style dugouts as well as a natural grass surface that is fully irrigated.
"It is definitely nice when you can show recruits the actual field," head coach Michelle Burrell said. "We've had pictures and photos but now we can bring them here. It's already been a big help for us."
Both the softball and baseball facilities have a press box and full sound systems. Each is also wired for lights in the future.
As for the tennis facility, there are now 12 new courts, six of which are fully cushioned. Spectators and coaches will be able to use a center promenade. There is also new fencing and windscreens.
The new tennis facility will be the home to two of most successful athletic programs at Binghamton. The men's squad has captured five consecutive America East titles, while the women's team has been the conference runner-up in four of the past five years.
"We are thrilled to have a facility of this standard," head men's tennis coach Adam Cohen said. "It's excellent and we are hoping to host the America East Championships come April. We have big plans for the future of our program in this place."
The baseball, softball and tennis projects mark the third upgrade during Binghamton's 12-year NCAA Division I era. The Events Center, which houses the basketball teams, was opened in 2004. Three years later, the soccer and lacrosse programs moved into the Bearcats Sports Complex.

Focus on Funds
Can Facebook Fend Off the Competition? The 'Wide Moat' ETF Folks Say Yes
The old knock on social-media investing is summed up in MySpace: the would-be dominator of social media that wasn't. Can you really know which company will rule social media five years from now?
Well, many of the investors pushing Facebook's (FB) stock to a 25% surge Thursday must think so.
And they might be interested to know a fund strategy for companies deemed to enjoy a strong defense versus competitors is on their side.
Surprised that Market Vectors Wide Moat ETF (MOAT) is a Facebook owner? I was. The "moat" concept is a castle, or fortress, analogy: You have to be fortified. You've got to have hungry crocodiles waiting to snap up the approaching phalanx.
The "moat" ETF added Facebook's stock last month. And boy, did it add some. Facebook is currently the second biggest holding, at 5.5%. Other top picks include Schlumberger (SLB), eBay (EBAY) and Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB).
The goal of this ETF, the fund's Website explains, is to "offer exposure to the 20 most attractively priced companies with sustainable competitive advantages according to Morningstar's equity research team."
Here's how Morningstar's analysts describe the fund's rationale in a little more detail:
An economic moat is a structural competitive advantage that allows a firm to earn above-average returns on capital over a long period of time. ... Whenever a company develops a profitable product or service, it doesn't take long before competitive forces drive down its economic profits. Only companies with an economic moat are able to hold competitors at bay and generate economic profits over an extended period of time.
So, readers, is it really different this time? Does Facebook really have a strong "economic moat" with enough crocs to eat up the competition? Weigh in.

Shootboxing 2012 act.1 Results: Stevelmans Outlasts Shishido, Suzuki Beats Bovy, Ai Takahashi Upset
- Written by Dave Walsh
Last night at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Shootboxing held its first big event of 2012. The emphasis on this card and in Shootboxing as of late seems to be on matching up fighters of different disciplines under Shootboxing rules as opposed to bouts between Shootboxing fighters. This could be seen as the card was headlined by Shootboxing star Hiroki Shishido vs K-1 veteran Warren Stevelmans as well as a 70kg bout between former boxer Satoru Suzuki and former thaiboxer Bovy Sor Udomson. Also in action were Shootboxing Women's Flyweight champion Ai Takahashi against 17 year old karate fighter Mizuki Inoue and Shooto legend Mamoru Yamaguchi taking on Shootboxing prospect Kazuyuki Fushimi.
In the night's main event, Shootboxing star Hiroki Shishido lost his third straight fight to South African Warren Stevelmans by unanimous decision on scores of 47-44, 46-44 and 47-46. It appears that the fight was a grueling affair with Shishido attempting to use throws and submissions to wear down Stevelmans while Stevelmans got the better of the striking exchanges. I believe Stevelmans scored two knockdowns while Shishido was able to get a shoot point. Stevelmans (55-15-4, 16 KO) first broke out in K-1 in 2008, winning the 2008 Netherlands qualifier tournament, defeating Chris Ngimbi and Marco Pique en route to his first shot at the Final 16. He made it to the quarterfinals before losing to Andy Souwer, which was part of a rough streak from 2008-2009 that saw Stevelmans go 3-6, however his losses were to Gago Drago, Souwer, Giorgio Petrosyan, Albert Kraus, Orono Wor Petchpun and Saiyok Pumpanmuang. Recently, he made it to the finals of the 2011 K-1 MAX Madrid tournament, losing to Rafi Zouheir in the finals and since has scored wins over Mohammed Medhar and Zeben Diaz, drew with Armen Petrosyan and lost to Buakaw Por Pramuk in his last fight. At 34, Shishido (48-12-0, 20 KO) is having his age catch up to him quite a bit. Since September of 2010, Shishido is just 1-5 and two of the losses in his current streak came to MMA fighters Toby Imada and "Lion" Takeshi Inoue.
In the co-main event, Shootboxing converts Satoru Suzuki and Bovy Sor Udomson fought in what appears to have been a thrilling affair which saw Bovy floored two or three times by Suzuki in the first round only to come back and go toe to toe with the former boxer. Despite Bovy's comeback, his first round deficit was too large and he lost a unanimous decision on scores of 28-26(x3). With the win, Suzuki improves his pro kickboxing record to 7-10-0, 5 KO and continues his up and down career as he was coming off of a loss to Christophe Pruvost at Shoot the Shooto back in November. The win also gets Suzuki's foot in the door for this year's S-Cup and if he is able to put together another win or two against top competition, expect him to be included in his first S-Cup. Bovy (84-44-2, 52 KO) was on a 2-fight win streak in Shootboxing with wins over Toby Imada and Gago Drago after a rough start to 2011 which saw him lose 3 straight fights. While the loss may jeopardize his spot in this year's S-Cup, it will not jeopardize his spot at the top of Shootboxing's cards as he has put on wildly entertaining bouts against Takaaki Umeno, Hiroki Shishido and Gago Drago and appears to have put on another great fight for Shootboxing.
In what has to be seen as probably the biggest upset of 2012 so far, 17 year old karateka and JEWELS MMA -56kg Rough Stone GP winner Mizuki Inoue was able to sneak by Shootboxing Women's Flyweight champion Ai Takahashi in an extension round, winning on scores of 10-9(x3) after a majority draw on scores of 30-29, 30-30 and 29-29. Inoue appeared to have utilized good head movement to avoid Takahashi's offense while counter-striking and scoring with her own. The win for the 17 year old Inoue (4-1-0, 0 KO) shakes the women's Flyweight division as Inoue only had 4 prior kickboxing bouts, two of which were under Shootboxing rules, and because she is splitting time between kickboxing and MMA. Inoue will likely receive an invite to this year's Girls S-Cup. The loss for Takahashi (11-3-0, 5 KO) is devastating as she had become divisional kingpin by default with RENA's victory over Erika Kamimura at RISE 85 in November. Likely a factor in the loss was Takahashi's 7 month layoff due to an orbital bone injury. This year's Girls S-Cup should be essential in determining who the top of the crop is as it will likely include Takahashi, Inoue, RENA and Erika Kamimura.
In another MMA vs Shootboxing bout, Shootboxing prospect Kazuyuki Fushimi took on former Shooto Bantamweight and Featherweight champion Mamoru Yamaguchi, but Fushimi was unable to pick up his second straight win against an MMA fighter as Yamaguchi won a close majority decision on scores of 29-29 and 30-29(x2). Yamaguchi (4-1-0, 0 KO) gets a win in his first fight in Shootboxing in over 2 years and although he was not one of the four men selected to participate in the first UFC Flyweight tournament, Yamaguchi is still a top contender and as he has proven in Shootboxing, has the striking to challenge anybody in the division. Fushimi (14-9-0, 4 KO) has had trouble staying consistent and has faltered against all of his name opponents save MMA fighter Junji Ito, but at just 20 years old he still has time to sharpen his tools and possibly become a threat to the top 55kg fighters in Japan.
Finally, Shootboxing prospect Masaya Matsuhana took a unanimous decision over MMA fighter Tenkei Oda on scores of 30-28, 30-26 and 29-26.

Prime Cuts: Kiss
Originally printed in Guitar World, August 1992
Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley reflect on two decades of Kiss classics, including "Duece," "Strutter," "God of Thunder" and more.
"DEUCE" (Kiss, 1974)
GENE SIMMONS: That was the first song I ever wrote for Kiss; it was thrown together in about half an hour. I ripped off the lick from "Bitch" by the Rolling Stones and changed it so it starts in A and goes to a C. I purposely set out to create a repetitive lick—like in "Satisfaction" or "Bitch." Lyrically, I had the slight thread of a story line, but I was more concerned with conveying attitude than making sense of the word "deuce." I'm not quite sure what the line, "You know your man is working hard, he's worth a deuce!" means, but it sounded right.
"STRUTTER" (Kiss, 1974)
PAUL STANLEY: This was one of the first songs I ever wrote for Kiss. It started with an old chord progression Gene had written five or six years earlier for a song called "Stanley the Parrot," which, by the way, had nothing to do with me. [laughs] We sped the "Parrot" song up and gave it a Stones-ish strut, hence the name. At that point I was using a Les Paul TV model. I was already real keen on vintage guitars—although my extremely limited finances meant that I could only afford one guitar at a time. So I went from a Les Paul/SG that I bought for $120 in a pawn shop to a double-cutaway Les Paul Special that cost about $200.
"BLACK DIAMOND" (Kiss, 1974)
STANLEY: Kiss was originally heavily influenced by Humble Pie. We wanted to make two guitars sound like one—it was the "Big Guitar" theory. Ace [Frehley] and I worked hard on blending our rhythm parts on a lot of those early songs. We experimented with doubling rhythms, writing counter-rhythms, or playing different inversions against each other. "Black Diamond" was one of the earliest songs Gene and I wrote together, even though it's credited to me. Gene came up with the riff that's incorporated into the chords. The tag at the end of the song reminds me of early Neil Young or "Stairway to Heaven." It needed something extra, because we just didn't think the song was over.
"GOIN' BLIND" (Hotter than Hell, 1974)
SIMMONS: The idea here was to create something that sounded like a theme to a Western by strumming minor chords on an acoustic guitar. There's a lick in the chorus that I ripped off from "Layla" and played backwards. The bassline doesn't have anything to do with the melody or the chords. I was listening to a lot of Cream, and although I never really understood what songs like "Tales of Brave Ulysses" were about, they still summoned up strong images in my mind. The lyrics to "Goin' Blind" are like that—they don't make a whole lot of sense, but at least lines like, "I'm 93, you're 16" are easy to visualize.
"HOTTER THAN HELL" (Hotter than Hell, 1974)
STANLEY: I was always a big fan of Free, and "All Right Now" really meant a lot to me—it was a perfect song. "Hotter than Hell" was basically me re-writing that song. There's nothing wrong with stealing, as long as you do it right—and make sure that you're stealing a diamond, not a piece of glass. All bands start off being fairly derivative, and copying others is the first step toward developing your own style. At that point I had gotten my first real custom guitar. A guy in New York named Charley Labue built me something similar to a '58 Flying V with two humbuckers—pretty similar to what Albert King was playing, but with one wing shorter than the other. Randy Rhoads' Jackson V had a similar design.

Quarterback Joel Stave ready to lead Badgers
Redshirt Sophomore expected to start Saturday against UMass.
MADISON, Wis. - We don't know who the starting quarterback for the Badger football team will be when it takes the field Saturday morning at 11 for its season opener against Massachusetts.
But it will be quite a surprise if it isn't Joel Stave.
Now, the quarterbacks have been told who is starting and from all we can gather, Stave's had the most reps with the first team offense lately and will probably be the guy. Stave was the starter until he broke his collarbone last season. He's learned some valuable lessons in his battle to be the starting quarterback.
"It really makes you really take everything very seriously. It's a - you're out here to have fun and it's a game, it's a football game but you want to make sure you're doing the right thing - make sure you're not only learning from your reps but from other guys' reps. Coach Andy Ludwig a lot of times says 'steal the rep'.. which means- even if you're not in, watch it, pay attention on what the play call is and make sure you're always getting the most of every opportunity," said Stave.
The redshirt sophomore also feels that he is very comfortable with the new offense under new head coach Gary Andersen.
"I feel very confident leading this offense. I think we have a great plan going into Saturday and the guys we have can really make this offense successful. It was tough not being able to finish the season last year and to get another chance to play is something really special," said Stave.

Winter Weather Mission: Ride the Storm Ride - Day 1
By: StormChaseMets , 6:30 AM GMT on December 13, 2011
Day 1. Amazing Rain and a Hint of Snow....
We began our adventure just south of Long Beach, CA at White's Point Beach in San Pedro, CA at 5 a.m. this morning. We set up cars and our weather station and waited for the rain to come in. There were a few light sprinkles at first, but the real rain didn't occur until around 8:00 a.m. By the afternoon rainfall totals for Long Beach Airport reached to 0.62 inches! Heavy rain in the area led to street ponding, areas of flooding, and runoff through the day. Side streets looked like raging torrents threatening to sweep at least one car away. Once the rain came in heavily, we traveled from the beach up into the San Bernardino mountain passes. As we climbed into the higher elevations, we saw snowfall at about 4,200 feet and our cars alerted us to icy roads (kudos to our professional drivers for navigating across these roads). After we passed the mountains, we rode down to Barstow and encounter more areas of moderate rain. This precipitation lightened as we traveled eastward into Arizona.
Today's final rest stop is in Kingman, AZ and the temperature is 32 degrees.
Still tweaking our weather station. We'll provide a link to this data once the station is up and running again-hopefully by tomorrow morning.
Here's a link to the Preliminary Precip Totals For Los Angeles County through 4 p.m.
http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.ph p?wfo=lox&pil=RRM&sid=LOX&version=0
Pictures from today's journey will be uploaded soon.
Tomorrow's Outlook...
Head to Flagstaff, AZ and up to the Grand Canyon. Moisture from this system will kick out snow accumulations of 4 to 10 inches through Wed. morning at elevations of 5,500 feet. Snow amounts of up to 14 inches will be possible above 7,500 feet. After this we hope to head eastward into the Southern Plains to catch some frontal rain and storms on Wed.
Be sure to keep up with us throughout the day on twitter @WunderJess and @WunderTim!
Until tomorrow,
Jess and Tim

Family: Castoridae, Beavers view all from this family
Description Unmistakable large, aquatic rodent with a sizeable, flat, paddle-shaped, scaly tail. Our largest rodent. Pelage is brown with shiny guard hairs and grayish underfur. Hind feet are webbed. Incisor teeth are large, orange, and ever-growing. Distinctive flattened tail is used as a rudder; also slapped against the top of the water as an alarm.
Dimensions 100-120cm, 23-32cm, 16-30kg
Habitat Lakes, ponds, rivers & streams, Swamps, marshes & bogs
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Southwest, Florida, Texas, California, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Alaska
Discussion Eats the leaves and inner bark of many tree species, preferring willow and aspen. Survives long, harsh winters by huddling in its insulated lodge, storing fat in its tail, and retrieving and eating underwater food caches. Lives in small family groups. The presence of a Beaver family in an area is easily detected by the saplings and small trees they cut down, strip of bark, and use to build dams and dome-shaped lodges. Typically nocturnal, most often seen around dawn or dusk. Once trapped to extinction in many areas, the Beaver has come back, and is now common in many areas, sometimes considered a pest. Lives in a variety of rivers and lakes.

(Carando Hickory Smoked Spiral Sliced Bone-In Ham)
For those who are content to pick up a ham at the supermarket—one that is already cooked and, yes, more affordable—we've taken the guesswork out of which baked ham is best.
MORE from Epicurious
All judges agreed that the perfect ham should not be rubbery, taste like a salt lick, or feel slimy but should rather be tender, moist, and chewy. Most importantly, in terms of flavor, it should contain a combination of the three S's: sweet, salty, and smoky. Three hams fit the bill.
Best Baked Ham Overall
Winner: Carando Hickory Smoked Spiral Sliced Bone-In Ham (Pictured above left)
($4.49 per pound)
Pros: The judges unanimously agreed that Carando had the right balance of smokiness and saltiness. "It is tender and meaty, not flobbery—floppy and rubbery—like some of the others!" stated one judge. Another taster said, "I am not a big ham fan, but I would actually eat this variety again." This ham was also noted for its family-friendly size and easy-to-serve presentation.
Cons: Not as moist as a non-spiral-sliced ham.
(See also: High tech kitchen products)
(Photo courtesy of Cook's Ham)
Baked Ham, First Runner-Up
Winner: Cook's Half Bone-In Shank Ham brined with ham and water product
($1.79 per pound)
Pros: "I like the nice rosy color and the mild, smoky, maple-sweet flavor; it makes me think this one is fresh and more natural," declared one editor.Cons: Somewhat rubbery.
Baked Ham, Second Runner-Up
Winner: Niman Ranch Uncured Boneless Ham brined with natural juices
($9.99 per pound)
Pros: Nitrite-free and mild in flavor, with a hint of smokiness. "This one is pleasantly thick and moist," one editor observed.Cons: Slightly spongy.
The Other Contenders: The Bottom Three
Boar's Head Black Forest Ham had several tasters concerned. Not only did a fluorescent pink tint permeate its surface, but it tasted fairly processed. "Perhaps this brand should always be eaten between two slices of bread," suggested one taster. Jones Dainty Ham was described as rather tough and rubbery. One editor compared it to "water with salt." Lastly, Thumann's Spiral Sliced Ham was greasy, flavorless, and "flobbery."
Additional Taste Test Details
The ten varieties of hams we tasted are available nationwide and include the following, listed from highest to lowest score in our taste test: Carando Hickory Smoked Spiral Sliced Bone-In, Cook's Traditional Half Bone-In Shank, Niman Ranch Uncured Boneless, Boar's Head Sweet Slice Smoked Boneless, Hormel Spiral Sliced Bone-In,* Smithfield Hickory Smoked Bone-In,* Hormel Cure 81 Boneless, Boar's Head Black Forest Smoked Boneless, Jones Naturally Smoked Dainty Ham Boneless, Thumann's Spiral Sliced Bone-In.
(*Asterisked brands received the same score.)
Methodology: In a blind taste test, seven judges compared the flavor, consistency, and appearance of baked ham. All varieties were cooked according to the directions on the packaging, which most often meant reheating the hams for 15 or 20 minutes per pound. (Glaze packets were included in the packaging but were not used in our testing.) We ranked the hams according to the Epicurious four-fork rating system, four being the best.Prices and availability subject to change.

Had a Filet from Outback,seasoned green beans and a chopped salad. Best food in town!
Lunch was provided at work today as a reward for the facility being accident free for a certain amount of time. So, we got lasagna, salad and garlic bread. I forgot that we were having this so I brought my lunch. Thus I passed on the soda and had the juice that I brought. I saved the rest of my lunch for Tuesday. Which reminds me, I left it in the fridge at work. My PB&J sandwich is going to be less than ideal. I meant to bring it home and put it back in the freezer or maybe eat it tomorrow.
Chick-fil-A nuggets and fries for me today.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."

Artwork and Messages of USA & Ukraine Friendships
Prepared by the children of the Shirokolanovak Boarding
School & Orphanage, Shirokolanovak, Ukraine, former German village
of Landau, Beresan District, May, 2005
5. Cranes soaring to Ukraine
The cranes are flying away. They are flying away not to
come back anymore. One could hear from the cries of the
cranes the immortal grief and sorrow spread all over the
world. And although they flew away more than a century ago,
a wounded heart is still aching and grieving; a burning
tear for Ukraine is rolling down the face. For Ukraine cherishes
equally her children no matter where they now live and the
cranes represent our Ukrainian family, which due to many
circumstances became disbursed in different corners of the
world. American, Germany, Australia, France, Austria and
other countries became their second home. But we know too
well that all of them love more than anything else their
home and their people and no matter where you are, you always
will be with us in our thoughts.
Cold wind is rolling
the wave like a feather,
Over the borders and seas,
And Ukraine left so far behind,
My eternal and unreached star,
We are waiting for you and love you,
And hope you will never forget us.
