Nevada played in eight consecutive postseason tournaments from 2003-2010 before missing out in 2011. The Wolf Pack's string of eight postseason appearances dates back to a 2003 NIT bid followed by four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances from 2004-07 and a pair of College Basketball Invitational appearances in 2008 and 2009. The sixth-seeded Wolf Pack opened the 2010 NIT with a 74-70 victory at third-seeded Wichita State on March 17, delivering the Shockers' first home loss of the year, before falling at second-seeded Rhode Island 85-83 on March 22. The win over Wichita State marked Nevada's first postseason victory since opening the 2007 NCAA Tournament with an overtime win over Creighton.
FIFTH NIT FOR THE PACK - The 2012 NIT is the fifth appearance for the Wolf Pack in the tournament. Nevada is 4-4 in NIT play after its first round 68-59 victory at Oral Roberts on Wednesday.
The Wolf Pack last played in the NIT in 2010 going 1-1. The Pack won at Wichita State 74-70 before falling 85-83 at Rhode Island. The win at WSU also ended the Shockers perfect home season as did the victory at ORU. Nevada's win at ORU snapped a 23-game home court win streak for the Golden Eagles dating back to last season.
Nevada is 4-1 in opening round NIT games which have all been road contests. The Pack is 0-2 at home and 0-3 in second round contests.
BURTON NAMED WAC PLAYER OF THE YEAR - Sophomore point guard Deonte Burton followed his 2011 WAC Freshman of the Year honor by becoming the fourth player at Nevada to earn postseason WAC Player of the Year honors. Burton averaged 17.3 points and 4.1 assists in WAC play this season.
Burton joins Kirk Synder (2004), Nick Fazekas (2005, 2006, 2007) and Luke Babbitt (2010) as Wolf Pack players who earned the WAC postseason honor. Fazekas and Babbitt were also sophomores in 2005 and 2010 when they were named WAC Player of the Year.
Burton was selected as the 2012 preseason WAC Player of the Year and it is the fourth time a Nevada player received both honors in the same season. Snyder, Fazekas (twice) and Babbitt all earned preseason and postseason WAC Player of the Year honors.
A Nevada player has been named the season ending WAC Player of the Year in six of the last nine seasons with Fazekas grabbing the honor three consecutive seasons from 2004-2007.
Babbitt is currently on the roster of the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers. Snyder was first round pick of the Utah Jazz and Fazekas was chosen in the second round by the Dallas Mavericks. Both played for several teams in the NBA.
Burton was the fourth Pack player to earn WAC Freshman of the Year honors last year when he averaged 13.7 points and 3.5 assists per game. Ramon Sessions (2005), Armond Johnson (2008) and Babbitt (2009) were the previous Nevada players named WAC Freshman of the Year. Sessions, a second round pick of the Milwaukee Bucks, is currently on the roster of the Los Angeles Lakers. Johnson was second round pick of the Portland Trail Blazers.
CARTER NAMED DON HASKINS COACH OF THE YEAR - Third-year head coach David Carter was named the Don Haskins Coach of the Year after leading the Wolf Pack to the 2012 WAC regular season title with a 13-1 conference record. The Pack began WAC play 8-0 for the first team in school history and became the second Nevada team to go undefeated on the road in WAC play posting a 7-0 record.
Carter is the second Nevada coach to earn the WAC honor. Mark Fox received recognition three consecutive seasons from 2005-07.
He notched his 60th win after the Pack defeated San Jose State 54-44 in the first round of the WAC Tournament. After the win at Oral Roberts, Carter is 61-38 leading the Wolf Pack basketball program. In his first season the Pack went 21-13 and advanced the second round on the NIT. Last year the young squad posted a 13-19 record. The 61 wins are 10th among Pack coaches, four back of Jim Carey (1976-80) who was 65-46 in four seasons.
Carter is just the second coach at Nevada to lead the Pack to more than one 20 win season. His first team went 21-13 then a young squad posted 13-19 mark last season coupled with a 27-6 mark this gives him two 20 win seasons in three years. Mark Fox won 20 games all five years he coached the Pack from 2004-09.
ALL FIVE STARTERS EARN WAC HONORS - Nevada has started the same lineup all season and all five were recognized by the WAC coaches by earning postseason honors. The five showed why they were able to join forces to win the 2012 WAC regular season title posting a 13-1 conference record.
Point guard Deonte Burton earned the highest honor being named WAC Player of the Year and was joined on the All-WAC first team by senior forward Olek Czyz.
Senior forward Dario Hunt was a repeat selection on the All-WAC second team and was selected to the WAC Defensive unit for the third consecutive season. Junior guard Malik Story was chosen to the honorable mention squad. Sophomore guard Jerry Evans, Jr. joined Hunt on the WAC Defensive team.
TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Dario Hunt had 18 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks to lead Nevada past Oral Roberts 68-59 on Wednesday night in the first round of the NIT.
Deonte Burton added 17 points as the Wolf Pack (27-6) advanced to a second-round matchup against Bucknell, which beat Arizona 65-54.
"It took a couple days for us to get back to our regular selves," Hunt said after Nevada failed to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. "But once we got our competitive juices flowing again we kind of forgot about it."
Hunt was 9 of 16 from the field and also had four assists.
"He had a great finish," Nevada coach David Carter said. "He's been a senior leader all year. He missed some easy ones early, but in the second half really settled down."
Hunt helped Nevada outrebound the Golden Eagles 45-29.
"He was a difference-maker," Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton said. "He blocked five shots and altered many more inside."
Burton, Olek Czyz and Malik Story each had eight points in the second half to help Nevada rally after trailing 30-29 at halftime. Czyz finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Dominique Morrison and Rod Pearson had 13 points apiece for the Golden Eagles (27-7).
"I thought we came ready to play and were prepared," Pearson said.
Oral Roberts led 50-49 before Czyz threw down a dunk with 8:03 left to ignite Nevada's decisive 8-0 run. Hunt scored twice during the spurt.
Burton sank three free throws with 2:10 left to stretch Nevada's lead to 62-55 and the Golden Eagles never got any closer.
"I am glad we finally found some rhythm in the second half," Carter said. "I thought we wore them down a little bit."
The Golden Eagles only had three field goals in the final 12 minutes.
"We just wanted to be aggressive on defense because I knew they were going to keep attacking us," Hunt said.
Nevada's first lead came when Jerry Evans Jr. opened the second half with a 3-pointer for a 32-30 advantage. Warren Niles responded with a 3-pointer for Oral Roberts and the game see-sawed before Nevada's late run.
Nevada, in the postseason for the ninth time in 10 years, snapped the Golden Eagles' 23-game home winning streak. The Golden Eagles had an NIT home game for the first time since 1982 and were looking for their first postseason win since the 1975 NIT opener.

The 2006-07 team went 29-5 overall and won the WAC title with a 14-2 mark when the league was comprised of nine teams compared to eight this season. The 2006-07 team was 13-1 before suffering a second WAC loss. The Pack's 8-0 start this season is the first time a Nevada team won its first eight games in the WAC. The perfect 7-0 road record equals the 2004-05 team that also posted perfect WAC road record going 9-0. The 2004-05 Nevada squad was the last WAC team to post a perfect road record until the 2011-12 team accomplished the feat.
PACK TURNAROUND IN CLOSE GAMES - Another of the turnarounds for the 2011-12 squad from last season is success in close games. Nevada is 18-4 in games decided by 10 points or less this season. The Pack is 8-2 in games decided by five points or less.
Last season the Pack went 6-12 in games decided by 10 points or less. Nevada was 4-10 in games decided by six points or less last season.
THREE-POINT RECORD SETTING EXPLOSION - Eight different Nevada players contributed to a record breaking night as the Wolf Pack set single game school records with 16 made three-pointers and 32 attempted, a 50 percent shooting clip against San Jose State on Jan. 12, 2012. The old record of 15 came versus Cal State Fullerton on Feb. 11, 1999. The previous record for attempts was 29 that occurred three times with the last being on Dec. 20, 2010 versus Portland State.
Jerry Evans, Jr. led the way with his career-high five, three-pointers on six attempts. Deonte Burton made three in his seven shots from behind the arc with Malik Story connecting on three-of-nine. The five players with one, three-pointer each were; Brice Crook (1-for-1), Keith Feutsch (1-for-2), Jordan Finn (1-for-2), Jordan Burris (1-for-3) and Kevin Panzer (1-for-2).
2011-12 TEAM TIES SCHOOL RECORD 16-GAME WIN STREAK - The 2011-12 Nevada squad won 16 consecutive games to tie the 1965-66 team for the longest win streak in school history. The streak came to an end when the Wolf Pack fell 72-68 at home to Idaho on Feb. 4.
The streak was the second longest in country when it ended to then undefeated Murray State and is tied for the sixth longest this season. The Wolf Pack's 12-game home court win streak also ended and it was tied for 19th longest in the nation at that time.
The 1965-66 squad went on to post a 21-6 record for head coach Jack Spencer.
The 25-5 start is the best since the 2006-07 squad began the year 27-3 on the way to a 29-5 record. Nevada has won 25-of-28 after starting the season 0-2.

ABOUT Fabio Viviani
Italian chef Fabio Viviani was born on October 10, 1978 in Florence. After the need to help out the family and get a job presented itself at the young age of 11, Fabio applied to work in a bakery where first he was told he was too young and then later invited to work nights so that no one would know.
In 1992 at age 14, Fabio began working at the very busy Il Pallaio, a casual Trattoria in Firenze, Italy with stellar, Italian comfort food and a 120 seat cover. An average night in the restaurant proved to be total mayhem, as 700 to 800 guests came through each night. Fabio thrived in this high pressure environment and managed to become sous chef by age 16, thanks to the mentoring of Simone Mugnaini, an iconic figure in the Italian restaurant scene.
Between training in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine at IPSSAR Saffi, working with culinary luminaries such as Simone Mugnaini, Alessandro Panzani and Saverio Carmagini, Fabio was owning and operating 5 restaurants in Florence, a FarmHouse and 2 nightclubs by the age of 27. Fabio found himself a young, well-respected business man in Italy but he was ready for a change.
Fabio moved to Ventura County, California at the age of 27 and now works as the owner and executive chef of Cafe Firenze, a renowned Italian restaurant in Ventura Country and Osteria Firenze, a popular Los Angeles Italian eatery. Also his Newest Chicago, Illinois restaurant is due to open by January 2013. He's also teaming up with the Chicago's most innovative restaurant consulting group, Dine|Amic, to further enlarge his restaurant horizon.
Fabio is perhaps best known in America for appearing on season 5 of Bravo's reality series Top Chef and earning the Fan Favorite title. Fabio returned to Bravo in 2010 to compete in their Top Chef All Stars edition and his reality show "Life after Top Chef" will air in late 2012. He is also the host of the Award winning series "Chow Ciao!" on Yahoo.
Life outside Firenze Osteria
Returning as a fan favorite from the Emmy Award winning show "Top Chef New York", Fabio competed again in Top Chef All Stars in 2011/12 and will also cast in Bravo TV's biggest chef reality show to date – the bold new culinary/lifestyle adventure series "Life After Top Chef".
Fabio is the award winning host of "Chow Ciao!", the #1 lifestyle and food show on the internet. His show drives millions of people toward the Yahoo.com homepage every week, with a new episode every Monday. The Top Chef saga led Fabio to put a team in place to utilize effectively all the positive and well received TV exposure. This move lead to a number of opportunities within the media, along with an ever increasing waiting list at the restaurant and countless endorsment offers and partnership opportunities. This made Fabio one of the fastest growing household name brands in the USA.
A gregarious host and entertaining guest, Fabio appeared in a number of cooking segments and morning shows in the USA. He is a recurring guest on platforms such as Good Morning America, The Talk, The Chew on ABC, Ellen Degeneres, Good Day LA, Access Hollywood, Playboy Radio, LA Live, Fran Drescher, Bonnie Hunt, Bethenny Frankel, Today Show, Zagat.com, and countless food shows and events all over the United States.
A regular headliner at global food shows, Fabio is the new upcoming chef to rule social media with his huge presence and bigger-than-life personality. This outreach earned him a spot in Bed Bath and Beyond for his ceramic cookware sets and also as a recurring guest on the QVC channel with many different products.
When he's not busy promoting healthy eating for children, he is also an endorser and partner with many beloved brands in the USA such as Bialetti Cookwear, Bertolli Olive Oil, Terlato Wine International and Yahoo.com.
Fabio Viviani has published two successful cookbooks, including the Cafe Firenze Cookbook, The Skinny Country and the e-book Did I Really Make Breakfast, which made it onto multiple Amazon bestseller lists within weeks of release.

Operation Raccoon City should also have been better paced. The approach most of the time is to thoughtlessly spam you with enemies, none of whom show any real sign of strategy or nous. What big set pieces there are are clumsily handled, with awkward breaks in the action to announce the next big 'shock' moment. At times it's hard to put your finger on why, but Operation Raccoon City simply doesn't hold together. Put it against a Gears of War or a Vanquish and it's practically laughable. Heck, even Army of Two or Kane and Lynch: Dog Days do things better. And if you want specifically to play a co-op game where you get to kill zombies, well Left4Dead is so much better that you wonder why Slant Six didn't effectively clone it wholesale with a Resident Evil skin.
The game isn't completely without merit. The graphics look nice enough, bringing classic RE locations and monsters to glorious HD life, and there is one interesting mechanic. In most of the game you'll find yourself up against zombies and Spec-Ops forces simultaneously, and by wounding the latter you can cause the former to go bonkers, descending on your hapless victims in a blood-lust rage.
Some recompense also arrives in the form of a semi-decent Versus multiplayer mode, pitching Wolfpack against an equivalent SpecOps force in a selection of team-based game modes, the best of which involves both teams running for the same helicopter in the hope of extraction. These are fun enough, but really nothing to write home about. Matchmaking is slow and arduous and each match takes an age to kick off. It's OK, and having mutants and zombies on the field to complicate things adds a little to the action, but it's certainly not worth purchasing the game for.
The saddest thing about playing Operation Raccoon City is that you can see the germs of some good ideas, and in its own flawed way it does its best to serve the fans. However, think of other horror-themed, co-op focussed shooters, particularly Left 4 Dead, The Darkness II and the sadly under appreciated FEAR3, and it's clear that Operation Raccoon City doesn't have the quality, the ideas or the execution to measure up. It's a black mark on a series that's still, to some extent, struggling to regain the form of its glory years.
Arguably the most disappointing Resident Evil ever made; a mediocre third-person shooter with shoddy AI and poor level design that does nothing to stand out in a crowded market. It's a better game in competitive multiplayer than co-op, and RE fans will enjoy the chance to revisit old locations and see old friends (and fiends). Yet while the premise is smart and some isolated mechanics entertaining, the experience as a whole falls sadly flat.

this game is not good. a total let down. i am a big resident evil fan played it from res evil 1 on the playstation. and this game feels like im playing a playstation one game the AI is rubbish your team run into the enemy into fires and don run from grenades and also get in your way all the time. i just hope they go back to the same thing as resident evil 5 that was awesome. i paid £40 for this s**t game. do not buy if your a res evil fan you will be let down. thanks capcom for ruining a grate line of games
Excuse me. Am I the only one who has realized, how extremely inaccurate these otherwise nostalgic Racoon City are from the actual, original scenarios in the first games and fails to rebuild the experience? I'll focus on the R.P.D. Police Station here.
Both the outside and interior are a mess-up, they have completely removed street ends, passages, and corridors that were part of it. The chief's office is now located just one door to the right, when you enter from the rooftop, whereas earlier it was located beyond several corridors, the safe room just before the hall is all empty, and I noticed how they have swapped and cut off various hallways that used to be around it.
And moreover. By the encounter with Leon and Claire, their car crash with the zombie-driven truck, occurs just a little walk down the street, beside the police station. In the real scenario, they crashed and parted ways numerous blocks and several closed streets and corners away from the R.P.D. This is just outright awefully done.
The makers of this game didn't even care to look into the overall MAP of the areas, let alone the details of it.
RE Outbreak did a much better job of reliving Racoon City than this crap.

About this Costume
- Personal Thoughts:
- This was a very easy costume to put together, but I love Lupin III and Fujiko, so it was necessary. The catsuit was bought but I was able to get custom measurements. The boots I already owned, the scarf came from eBay, and the wig is a lovely Ferrari from Arda.
I just wish Fujiko was more recognizable without a Lupin group! I have great memories wearing this to AWA 2012's Lupin III panel, though.

Hello my name is Django. My brother Thelonious has a Diary and so I have decided, even though I'm not much into writing, that I need a diary. I think everything that Thelonious does is cool. Anyway I was named after Django Reinhart (a gypsy jazz guitarist). I guess a diary is a way for you to get to know me. So, in that spirit, here are some of the reasons that I am happy. I am happy because I get to live in a run with my big brother Lonie. We play "rough and tumble" all day long. In my run I can go into the dining area and lie on our pillows and feel the fresh breeze of air conditioning (a must in this 100+ Oklahoma weather). Then I can go out in the back yard through our "special door" to look at the fish in the pond or bark at the neighbors. It's a good run. I am also happy because I get cookies when ever I sit or lie down or roll over or even when I whisper. The current cookie selection is made with liver and that in itself makes me happy. Another reason for my inherent happiness is because I can sleep on the couch when my people are home and they give me kisses and rub my belly. Thelonious on the other hand is not happy. He believes our run blows and we should sleep on the bed and not in our kennels. He thinks we should eat all of the cookies with out performing tricks or even whispering. I guess I'm just an optimist and really a happy pup.
The only time I am not happy is when I get left out. Sometimes Mom takes Lonie to work with her and leaves me behind (she says it's because he's sick and she works for dog doctors). I mean I never really like to be at her work anyway but it's just that I hate to be home all day alone. That doesn't happen very much though and so that's good. Well I'm done writing now. Bye

The Montage
The Montage is a truly world-class resort located right on the water. The hotel has three restaurants, all with great food and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and Treasure Island Park, which is open to the public. Rooms start at about $700 a night, but if that's as steep for you as it is for me, just do what I do - head over to the Montage's Lobby Lounge for happy hour instead. Order a nice glass of California red, listen to some live piano music, and enjoy the sunset.

text: Joint venture between Society of Petroleum Engineers, American Association of Petroleum Geologists and Society of Exploration Geophysicists offers collaborative, one-of-a-kind event across multiple disciplines in the geoscience industry. TULSA, Okla., April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Society of Petroleum Engineers, American Association of Petroleum Geologists and Society of Exploration Geophysicists announced today that registration is officially open for the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference (URTeC), 12-14 Aug. 2013, in Denver. Attendees may register beginning today for the conference and housing online at www.urtec.org. URTeC is the latest joint venture between the three most highly regarded professional associations in the geoscience industry, featuring a technical program covering 20 topics related to unconventional exploration and production, 340 technical presentations, six interactive panels, an exhibition floor, and numerous topical breakfasts and luncheons. Developed with direction from an industry advisory group led by representatives from Chesapeake, Devon, Anadarko, Shell, Statoil, ConocoPhillips, Schlumberger and many others, URTeC is designed for collaborative learning and networking between the essential components required to develop unconventional resources successfully—geology, geophysics and engineering. "This is a landmark event that brings together a multi-disciplined audience to share critical information and the latest innovations and techniques in the world of unconventional exploration and production," said Luis Baez, technical program committee co-chair and BG Group executive. "There's no question that the global energy landscape is dramatically changing, so it's vital that geoscientists engage with each other to understand not only the roles we each play in this industry but how we can learn from each other." Scott W. Tinker, director of the Bureau of Economic Geology and the State Geologist of Texas, will moderate the opening plenary session entitled, Unconventional Resources: Breakthrough Integration Changes Everything. Tinker's presentation will explore the foundational scientific, technical and business practices that, when leveraged by innovative integration in a multi-disciplinary environment, "move the needle" across the value chain of conventional resource identification, assessment and monetization. Panelists will include Scott D. Sheffield, chief executive officer, Pioneer Natural Resources; John Richels, president and chief executive officer, Devon Energy Corporation; Vello Kuuskraa, president, Advanced Resources International; and William M. Scoggins, president, Colorado School of Mines. Other presentations will take an in-depth look at the latest technologies transforming the future of exploration and production, government regulations, and much more.

An experiment in mixed compilation/interpretation
Gough, John, Cifuentes, Christina, Corney, Diane, Hynd, John R., & Kolb, Peter (1992) An experiment in mixed compilation/interpretation. In 14th Australian Computer Science Conference, January 1992, Hobart, Tasmania.
|Accepted Version (PDF 185kB)
One of the classic forms of intermediate representation used for communication between compiler front-ends and back-ends are those based on abstract stack machines. It is possible to compile the stack machine instructions into machine code by means of an interpretive code generator, or to simulate the stack machine at runtime using an interpreter. This paper describes an approach intermediate between these two extremes.
The front-end for a commercial Modula 2 compiler was ported to the "industry standard PC", and a partially compiling back-end written. The object code runs with the assistance of an interpreter, but may be linked with libraries which are fully compiled. The intent was to provide a programming environment on the PC which is identical to that of the same compilers on 32-bit UNIX machines. This objective has been met, and the compiler is available to educational institutions as free-ware.
The design basis of the new compiler is described, and the performance critically evaluated.

Story and photos by Pete Vack
They are charming, as only a French car can be. They are rare; only a few were ever made, a long, long time ago. They are almost totally useless, as many classics are. They are relatively slow and they are stiffly sprung, as a car made in the mid-twenties can often be. Most have no differential, so a locked rear end is a way of life. They have no weather protection, making them inadequate outside of California. Parts must be fabricated, not bought. No one knows what they are.
Why then do I want one so badly?

In the last episode of Modern Mahalakshmi, we witnessed some young girl's performance. This week it was Housewives who dominated the show. Participants of today's show were Shoba (homemaker), lakshmi, and videshwari from Guntur. They said some poems about the show. Jaya from Nellore shared why she loves the host, Roja.
It's always difficult to frame the sentence or choose the right words to describe the host look, yeah you are right, Roja was looking gorgeous today. We also witnessed a great dance performance from all the participants. Today's show witnessed many twist and turns in each round. "Ringa Ringa" round entertained us to the core. At the end of the day, winner is determined by their talent and luck also equally plays a role, it was jaya who made that. She dedicated the win to her husband.
The show ended up with a surprise performance, what would be more surprising than anything else in "Modern Mahalakshmi, obviously Roja's dance? Yes, the show ended with her grand performance.

I'll usually take 1 or 2 slapshots a season, I just never really see the need. Big wind up, not as accurate, gives goalies time to prepare and defenders time to step up to block it with a stick.
I actually just had that conversation in the locker room after a game this morning. The majority of guys that always take slapshots almost always shoot it right into the goalies gut or it sails well over the crossbar. What good is it when you hardly ever score on those? Go for the accurate wrist shot with a quicker release. I think it's confident to say the majority of us just play beer league hockey and the goalies aren't the fastest in the world, just go for a quick wrister and only shoot from the blue line if there's bodies in front of the net for a tip/screen/rebound.

Commentator fined for libelling referee
A magistrate yesterday slammed a football match commentary as "amateurish and verging on the ridiculous" and found the commentator guilty of libelling the referee.
The commentator, Josef Galdes, repeatedly said Christopher Lautier, the referee, was officiating in a "shameful" manner and called him a "figolla of the year" (traditional Maltese Easter pastry).
At one point he said Sliema, who were playing against, Qormi, had been robbed of the match. Magistrate Francesco Depasquale said the court could not help but notice the "the amateurish and far from professional manner" in which Mr Galdes commentated the match.
"Even in the first half, when Mr Galdes had not yet begun his continuous attack on Mr Lautier, the commentary was very amateurish bordering on the ridiculous," the magistrate noted.
The match was played on March 27, 2010 and broadcast on Smash TV later, with Sliema losing. It was during the second half, when a Qormi player was floored and Mr Lautier ordered a penalty, that Mr Galdes called him "figolla of the year". He made various other disparaging comments about his control of the match.
The libel suit was also filed against commentator Renato Vella, who was assisting Mr Galdes, and the managing editor of Smash TV, Jesmar Baldacchino.
Mr Galdes argued he was a journalist and was expressing an opinion.
In considering evidence, the magistrate said that while it was true that some of the referee's decisions were controversial, Mr Galdes had repeatedly attacked him.
Mr Vella did utter disparaging remarks but did not attack the personal integrity of Mr Lautier, in contrast to Mr Galdes.
The magistrate ordered Mr Galdes to pay Mr Lautier €1,500 and Mr Baldacchino a further €1,500 as the managing editor of the station.

The driver and passenger seats are sprung loaded and can be moved forward, just like on the real truck while side mounted mirrors are provided in the box which need fixing to the model The East trailer has a distinctive bow to the bed which simulated the pre stressed state of the trailer when not under load. The model is supplied with a host of fixing components including metal chains in various lengths, rubber and fabric straps in various lengths and metal clips which locate into the sides of the trailer bed.

Abstract:(via WisBlawg)
In this article I present a multi-method examination of whether bilateral investment treaties, or BITs, are likely to promote inflows of foreign direct investment. Using regression analysis I show that BITs are not meaningfully correlated with measures of political risk, and using survey evidence I show that providers of political risk insurance do not reliably take BITs into account when deciding the terms of insurance. Nor do in-house counsel in large U.S. corporations view BITs as playing a major role in their companies' foreign investment decisions. In contrast to existing empirical studies, which claim to prove that BITs can have massive positive impacts on FDI, my results suggest that such results are probably spurious. BITs are unlikely to be a significant driver of foreign investment.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by xwalker, Apr 25, 2012.
I added some measureable data:
Like that Gilmore. That's another player I'd be happy with at 14 if other options are off the table.
Josh Robinson in the 2nd would be huge.
I want him, too.
Nobody's talked about it much, but a couple of CBs early isn't a bad route to go for us, either. We can still get an OG/OC in the third or fourth rounds (Molk, maybe even Ben Jones). DE/DL, too, in the 3rd/4th (Harris from USC, Fangupo, Crawford, Paige-Moss). Can't have too many cover guys in a Ryan defense.
Sorry if this is dumb, what does "S" mean? NR is Not ranked.
S - Indicates that they ranked they player as a safety.
I added the agility meaasureables:
I Want Gilmore.
I would be OK with Gilmore at #14.
Gilmore has been dropping in recent mocks... wouldnt mind having him one bit... trade back with SD and pick up gilmore would be excellent.
Also like the idea of taking two DB's early. We are going to have a spencer situation with Jenkins next year...

i wants it.
That's a pretty cool room Darth Flan. That's what I want to do with my Boba when I finally get done with it.
Not quite a full room (half of a one car garage) and more like a storage area really
The other half of the garage is my wife's costume area which has a couple of mannequins and about a dozen costumes.
Here's my Star Wars/prop/work area:
I still don't know where I'm going to fit my Illusive Originals Han in Carbonite and my life sized Battle Droid
Other stuff I'm working on is inside the house at the moment.

Ding ding ding...I think we have a winner!!! Azheat101, that is just amazing. Nice house too by the way. My son would love that big Sully near the window.
azheat! dude! are you saying "if only" you could have it? or "if only" like you need something more!? haaha! NOW THAT is my dream house! awesome pics! you made me gasp haha.
Where are those pictures from?
Dude!! whens the next party???????????
Yes, "if only" means "if only" this was mine!!!!! I love this house, I think it is somewhere up in Oregon. Don't know who owns it, but it is a Star Wars fans dream!
I will get some photos up shortly of my display room once I finish my HIC.
COOL. im from oregon..ill find it! haha just kidding that is such a cool house though! if only money grew on trees
dang, here I Was packing the car to go to AZ. Son of a gun.
Damn you to Hell!!!!!!
Wow ,
now I can show these to my girl and maybe she'll get off my back about my stuff !
All right, here's mine before that room suffered damage. these images are all around, say, 2-3 years old, or more I'm sad to say (aside from the BSG and GG down lighted shelving unit). The room they're in suffered a large leak, so it preety much shut the engine of what this room was about down. The last pictures of the vehicles is actualy a utility room/large closet that comes off that room. It was supposed to be a 2nd bedroom, but its alot cooler as a Collection room/office. Not any of it is in the room now, it all in storage unfortunatly. The BSG shelf is now in my bedroom, as is most of that furniture.
I've decided I might try and compact it all into the utility room/closet that holds the vehicles, replacing the two shelves with slat board wall to hold the MOC figures. So then I can have my second bedroom/office, and still be able to show it off by opening the two sliding doors. Also perhaps adding some dios. to hold the loose figures. (Did I mention I have alot more than this now MOMC and loose?) So perhaps someday when cash allows I can fix evrything back up, and open it up again. I'm sure evryone I know will be thrilled.
I've also got a small props/costume collection, but as noted above, I don't have anywhere to put it to display it, so its sorta hard to even know what I all have and list it. I'd love to get some manequins sometime to display them, thats deffintly something I'd like to do.

Even at the 2nd last page, there is still a twist ! Though I would say that the ending is too good to be true, this book keeps the suspension hanging until the very end. I don't feel like doing any other things except keeping reading this novel. Its entertainment value as a mystery novel is tremendous.
At the end, the author didn't explain why the FBI (or whatever the "powers" are) would just let Natalia go without resolving the issue of her presence when Archer Minor got killed. In order to have the last suspense and/or twist, Jake Fischer went to talk with Natalia's mother, Sylvia Avery, to confirm that Natalia's father Aaron Kleiner was indeed killed by Archer Minor. It's a bit unnatural. Jake could have asked Natalia. Though the author explained by saying that they never talked about it though each knew that the other knew. I have thought when you loved each other, you could be honest to each other ?!
But apart from that, everything else seems reasonable. I've enjoyed reading the calm and analytical mind of Jake at the most dangerous and urgent moments. Even though he didn't always come out at top, we knew exactly what he was thinking and why he did what he had done. This is the first time that I read this author's novel and it's a terrific start !

"A love that will last forever "
Film Synopsis:
One of the most memorable romantic films ever and winner* of two Academy Awards®, Sam (Patrick Swayze), living as a ghost, discovers his death wasn't just a random robbery gone bad. To help him reconnect with the love of his life, Molly (Demi Moore), and solve his own murder, he enlists the talents of a skeptical psychic (Oscar®-winner Whoopi Goldberg), who doesn't even believe her own abilities. Ghost is a supernatural mystery-thriller that will cross over into your heart and never leave. Ghost will surprise you, delight you, make you believe. Patrick Swayze plays a ghost who teams up with a psychic (Whoopi Goldberg) to uncover the truth behind his murder – and to rescue his sweetheart (Demi Moore) from a similar fate.
My Take:
Ghost is one of those films that you want to watch with your significant other because at its base it is a love story. It does throw in the super natural and thriller aspects but they seem to provide the catalyst for Sam's determination to protect Molly and ultimately avenge his murder. Whoopi Goldberg can be rather annoying however her performance in Ghost (for which she earned an Academy Award) came across as genuine and funny. I have always found Demi Moore to a strong actress and her emotional turn as the devastated Molly was solid. While I am not a big Patrick Swayze fan I do feel that his contribution to this film is some of his best work. The three of them combined are at the heart of what makes Ghost work. The portion of the story relative to the betrayal, murder and ultimately Sam's retribution felt a little contrived but as I said that isn't really the true essence of this film in my opinion. I am sure that there are some who find it a little too sentimentally warm and fuzzy but that's okay. This is one of those movies that can still be appreciated regardless of the number of years that have passed since its release.

Ghost comes to Blu-ray Disc from Paramount featuring 1080p AVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 30 mbps and lossless Dolby TrueHD 5.1 channel audio that has an average bitrate of 3.6 mbps.
This presentation is reminiscent of several of the Blu-ray catalog release titles I have reviewed of late. It offers high definition video that is superior to DVD but falls short of the better quality catalog titles we have seen thus far from the format. Detail in close ups can be defining at times with clearly resolvable texture and subtle nuance. Mid and long range visuals are less articulated and downright soft in some instances which gives the video a dull, less dimensional appearance. Colors aren't overly vibrant but I wouldn't describe them as flat either. Flesh tones were natural with lifelike quality and divergent tonality. Blacks were gradational and fairly deep which made the darker segments appear punchy and dynamic. Grain was present in visible layers that was fine at times and heavier at others. This tended to be distracting as it occasionally made backgrounds appear noisy. I didn't see any signs of compression related artifacts. I suspect that this presentation will fare better on smaller displays than larger one but I didn't see any glaring video related problems that would make it unwatchable. This is a dialogue driven film that doesn't call for much in the way of surround sound. The lossless Dolby TrueHD soundtrack handled the elements present in the recording diligently. Dialogue was clearly perceptible with definable characteristics and notable soundstage prominence. Sound effects sounded a little dated but overall were reproduced fair dynamic quality and detail. The sequences that take place in the subway featuring the passing trains made use of the surround channels and subwoofer providing some spatial dimension and low frequency detail. Primarily the audio was relegated to the front channels which based upon the source material was appropriate.
Bonus Features:
- Commentary by Director Jerry Zucker and Writer Bruce Joel Rubin
- Ghost Stories: The making of a classic
- Inside the paranormal
- Alchemy of a love scene
- Cinema's great romances
- Photo gallery
- (HD) Theatrical trailer
Final Thoughts:
Ghost is a heart warming film that has become a favorite to many. It is a movie that is nice to visit with your significant other from time to time. Its release on high definition Blu-ray Disc from Paramount offers good audio quality and video that is fair but not among the best high definition video the format has to offer. I would recommend a rental prior to purchase for those considering an upgrade over the DVD. I suspect that you will find this upgrade worthy.

Thank you for putting another nice review. Did MPAA really rate this flick as PG-13 ? I thought this one contained some nudity.
Yes it's rated PG-13. No nudity although it comes close in an early scene between Swayze and Moore (after the pottery making sequence).

Iberville Parish Council approves connector idea
PLAQUEMINE - The Iberville Parish Council has voted to join five other parishes to begin the process of planning for an ambitious new highway project called the West Bank Connector.
If built, the West Bank Connector would alleviate major delays for commuters crossing the Mississippi River on Interstate 10.
The council approved a resolution Tuesday allocating $150,000 for the first phase of the plan.
The $1.65 billion project would begin with a four-lane highway that would go south from I-10 west of Port Allen to La. 1 south of Plaquemine, then branch off to cross the Mississippi River on a new bridge near LSU and St. Gabriel. La. 1 would be improved from Plaquemine to Donaldsonville, a section of La. 70 would also be improved.

Nobiletin, a citrus flavonoid, improves memory impairment in Alzheimer's
Byron's Comments:
Excellent nerve protection for a common human problem.
Study Title:Nobiletin, a citrus flavonoid, improves memory impairment and Abeta pathology in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
Study Abstract:
Increasing evidence suggests that the elevation of beta-amyloid (Abeta) peptides in the brain is central to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our recent studies have demonstrated that nobiletin, a polymethoxylated flavone from citrus peels, enhances cAMP/protein kinase A/extracellular signal-regulated kinase/cAMP response element-binding protein signaling in cultured hippocampal neurons and ameliorates Abeta-induced memory impairment in AD model rats. For the first time, we report that this natural compound improves memory deficits in amyloid precursor protein (APP) transgenic mice that overexpress human APP695 harboring the double Swedish and London mutations [APP-SL 7-5 transgenic (Tg) mice]. Our enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) also showed that administration of nobiletin to the transgenic mice for 4 months markedly reduced quantity of guanidine-soluble Abeta(1-40) and Abeta(1-42) in the brain. Furthermore, consistent with the results of ELISA, by immunohistochemistry with anti-Abeta antibody, it was evidently shown that the administration of nobiletin decreased the Abeta burden and plaques in the hippocampus of APP-SL 7-5 Tg mice. These findings suggest that this natural compound has potential to become a novel drug for fundamental treatment of AD.

Corchado had a previous bond revoked last week stemming from another case and that will keep him locked up for the time being.
A prosecutor says he could be charged as a habitual offender which could mean life in prison.

Intensive care is being scrutinized as a major factor in increasing health care costs. We examined 404 consecutive admissions to the medical ICUs at a university medical center to study patterns of consumption of ICU resources and the proportion of resources used by patients admitted for monitoring only. We found a skewed distribution of ICU resource consumption, with the "high-cost" 8 percent using as many ICU resources as the "low-cost" 92 percent. Forty-one percent of admissions did not receive acute ICU treatments, but these admissions consumed less than 10 percent of ICU resources. Reducing the number of patients admitted for monitoring will have a relatively small impact on hospital charges. Since over 70 percent of the high-cost patients died, improved understanding of prognosis and better physician-patient communication may substantially reduce the proportion of critical care resources expended on futile treatment.
