You won't find it in Merriam-Webster, but it's a word that perfectly sums up the Dynamo's target this week: bouncebackability.
Popularized by the former manager of England's Crystal Palace club in 2004 and quickly adopted into the UK's soccer lexicon, the definition is simple: the capacity to rebound quickly from the disappointment of defeat.
It's a vital quality for any ambitious team and one the Dynamo are eager to demonstrate this Saturday against Vancouver Whitecaps at BBVA Compass Stadium.
After two wins to start the season, the past week brought two high-profile losses, to Santos Laguna in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals last Wednesday and FC Dallas in the Texas Derby last Sunday.
Vancouver have begun the season with a pair of MLS victories and made an eye-catching signing last month in former Premier League midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker. But there are good reasons to expect the Dynamo to bounce back. True, the team will be missing Brad Davis, Boniek Garcia and Jermaine Taylor, who are on World Cup qualifier duty with the United States, Honduras and Jamaica respectively. In addition, strikers Will Bruin and Cam Weaver are nursing injuries they picked up in Frisco.
But the Dynamo have depth and offseason acquisitions Andrew Driver, Omar Cummings and Eric Brunner could play important roles against the Canadian club. Cummings has yet to feature for the first-team after undergoing knee surgery in January but the striker is edging closer to match fitness and has 61 minutes of reserve-team action under his belt.
Aside from the deep bench, statistics are on Houston's side. Dominic Kinnear's men have not lost three matches in a row since September 2010. Then there's the small matter of a home unbeaten streak in all competitions that now stands at 32 games, two behind Real Salt Lake's all-time record.
And the Dynamo proved their powers of recovery in a wild second half against Dallas, coming back from a 2-0 deficit at the break to tie the game through goals from Driver and Brad Davis before Kenny Cooper's disputed late winner settled the contest against the run of play.
"It always hurts to lose to them considering the rivalry we have with them and to lose in the last minute of a game is heartbreaking at times," striker Brian Ching told HoustonDynamo.com after training on Tuesday. "It's something that I thought the team has shaken off pretty well, we look focused to get back on the field.
"It's going to be a difficult game, we're missing some of our key guys, Jermaine and Boniek, and Will going down with an injury - but having said that this team's always gotten on with call-ups and things in the past."
Ching believes the absences are an ideal opportunity for the newcomers to showcase their potential.
"This is a chance for these guys to step in and compete for starting spots. Dom brought them in to play, not to sit on the bench and be back-ups," he said.
"I think Andrew's done a great job of acclimatizing himself already, he's come on and given us great minutes to this point and I think we're all excited to see Omar. We know he's a proven commodity in this league, he's a guy that's gotten along well with us in preseason. We know he's a little frustrated that he got injured in preseason so we know he's got that drive to get out there and hopefully continue the success that he's had so far in the league."

Spring has sprung in Minnesota and as always I am reminded that with spring there is renewal and with that rebirth comes a certain amount of joy. Perhaps Anne Bradstreet said it best in Meditations Divine and Moral (1655)-"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome".
I thought as this week brings with it the first official day of spring it might be timely to update my thyroid buddies on my current state of health. I will preempt everything by asking you to understand if I seem a bit sardonic. I admit to still being very superstitious about what I say and I know many hypothyroid people, and other "spoonies" will relate.
That said, here we go……..
T3 only and what works for me
I am still taking 50 mcg of T3. This dose seems to work pretty well for me even though by the dictates of the RT3 thyroid group it is not enough. My pulse is pretty normal and I am happy with my blood pressure. I generally have a pulse around 75-78 bpm and my blood pressure is pretty consistently at 116/69. After being outside and pulling weeds it is 122/74 with a heart rate of 81 bpm.
How I feed my adrenals
I still take 1/2 teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt every morning and every afternoon. I salt my food heavily and often take extra salt if I feel my pulse is too high or if I have reason to perspire more than normal. A hot bath, a FIR sauna or this warm summer-like winter weather increases my perspiration and thus my need for sea salt.
I can tell by how I feel if I suddenly stand up whether or not my adrenals need more support. If I get light-headed I know I need to increase my sodium intake. It seems my adrenals, while healthier than they used to be, still require plenty of salt to feed their "condition" . Reminds me of the old adage "feed a cold, starve a fever" I feed them salt but hopefully starve them of nothing.
How to increase cellular deficiencies
Overall I think I am doing quite well but as you know my Spectracell test showed some deficiencies. I increased my Ubiquinol to 100 mg twice a day. I am taking 200 mcg of Selenium twice per day and close to 64 mg of chelated Zinc per day. I was taking about 750 mg of Inositol per day but for some reason I didn't feel any particular improvement and maybe felt worse.
Here is my new dog and pony trick. I finally got things straightened out between my doctor and a very helpful pharmacist at The Prescription Center in LaCrosse Wisconsin and my injectable B12 arrived post-haste. I will tell you more about injecting B12 next week after I have finally perfected the technique with Chloe's assistance. I expect great things from an increased level of B12 and I hope not to be disappointed.
Exercise and FIR sauna resumed
I took several months off my normal frenetic exercise regimen around this time last year and I am finally getting back in to the swing of things. I am very careful not to overdo. In fact, I do something totally foreign to the before-adrenal-meltdown-me. I actually ask the SU if he will slow down when we walk together just to avoid taxing my system. I strongly believe that my heart palps were stimulated by an unnatural release of adrenalin and if just cooling it a bit avoids a reenactment I am content to be a wimp (yes, I have a problem with not pushing to the max).
Along with mild exercise (T-Tapp Basic, PACE walking, rebounder, Schwinn Airedyne) I have resumed some brief FIR sauna sessions. My basic routine is to exercise enough to sweat. While I am working out my sauna is warming up and as soon as I finish I hop in there for 15-20 minutes, salt water in hand. I have missed my sauna sessions but when you have adrenal stress the FIR sauna pushes you over the limits of what you can stand.
Kris Insight
Does all this mean I am as good as I can be? In one simple word, no. My heart still thumps occasionally, especially if I have too much caffeine or external stimulation. I have restless nights when I get up and sleep elsewhere so I don't wake up the SU. I can only handle a tiny glass of wine unless I don't mind being awakened by a pounding heartbeat that is in excess of 100 bpm. My mouth burns or tastes metallic most days and I occasionally have a hot flash that causes my face to flush (sex hormones are still not perfect).
Overall though, I feel fine. Not fine as in I don't want to say anymore but the kind of fine that has a bit of cockiness and swagger. I saw this great quote on Facebook today that I strongly identify with, "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass…..it is about learning to dance in the rain". I have learned to dance in the rain and I feel fine.

From behind the bombproof barricades of Mumbai's oldest jail, a special court here on Monday convicted Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving Pakistani gunman from the 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai, on 80 charges including murder, conspiracy, terrorism, and waging war against India.
The verdict ends a year of courtroom drama that had riveted the city, as one defense lawyer after another was replaced and Mr. Kasab at one point offered a detailed confession of the assault.
He said nothing on Monday when the judge pronounced his guilt but sat down again with his head in his hands.
The court will hear arguments for sentencing Tuesday, after which Kasab will be able to appeal. [Editor's note: The original version misstated the date the hearing would begin.]
The judge acquitted two Indians, Faheen Ansari and Sabauddin Sheikh, accused of providing logistical support to the operation.
Dramatic year
During the three-day siege in November 2008, 10 men opened fire with AK-47s on public landmarks and five-star hotels in India's commercial capital, killing 166 people and injuring 234. India accused Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba of planning and carrying out the attack.
Kasab was later hauled to Arthur Road Jail, which houses a special court that was fortified with steel and concrete barriers for his custody and trial. Local lawyers first refused to defend him, and two lawyers appointed by the court were later replaced. The Indo-Tibetan Border force was brought in to guard the premises, and a proposed monorail route was diverted from the area.
Kasab created a sensation last July when he confessed in court for 4.5 hours, offering a detailed narrative of his journey from a poor village in Faridkot, Pakistan, to a militant training camp and then to his rampage through Mumbai's biggest train station. Kasab later recanted, saying his confession was coerced and that he had been framed.
Prosecutors described him as a "lying conniving depraved murderer," while his lawyers painted him as an innocent village boy who was being made into a scapegoat.
Life imprisonment or death penalty?
The verdict against Kasab was widely expected here, given the amount of evidence in his case – including more than 650 witnesses ranging from FBI agents and forensic experts to a child shot in the leg while boarding a train and an elevator operator who was used as a shield by the terrorists.
What was less clear was whether Kasab, as a foreign national and nonstate actor, would be found guilty of the most serious charges of conspiracy and waging war against the country. The latter offense is punishable only by life imprisonment or the death penalty.
"This was not a simple crime," Judge M.L. Tahiliyani said Monday. "A warlike situation was created, government forces were resisted ... the resistance put forward by the accused indicated a determination to fight a war."
The 2008 attacks raised tensions between India and Pakistan, which have only recently begun to ebb. Islamabad initially denied that the attackers were Pakistani. More recently, they asked that Kasab be extradited to be tried in his home country.
Judge Tahiliyani had harsh words for the prosecution in the acquittal of the other two men, who faced similar charges. Mr. Ahmed and Mr. Sheikh, who were already being held in another terrorism case in north India, were alleged to have aided the Mumbai attackers by providing them with maps of the city.
But the evidence was unsatisfactory and the witnesses "unreliable," Judge Tahiliyani said. Given the lack of evidence and the harshness of the punishments for the offenses they were being charged with, he said, "they must get the benefit of the doubt."
Reaction to the verdict among some Mumbai residents is strong. Balchandan Gupta, a shopkeeper located near the prison, says the government has wasted too much time and money trying Kasab. "A man who can do such things should not be alive," he says.

Crawford sits out to protect tight hamstring
SAN FRANCISCO -- Brandon Crawford's right leg tightness prompted caution from Giants manager Bruce Bochy, who left the shortstop out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Bochy observed that Crawford could have played if necessary. But Bochy didn't want to risk the possibility that discomfort would turn to injury.
"I'm concerned about [Crawford] pushing it and injuring his hamstring," Bochy said.
Crawford said he felt a tweak as he ran out a 10th-inning bunt single during the Giants' 3-2, 12-inning victory in Tuesday's series opener.
"Hopefully I'll be fine for [Thursday]," Crawford said.
Crawford went to the bench with a .318 batting average in 13 games. He also owned a seven-game hitting streak, during which he has built a .400 average (10-for-25).

Oscars fashion 2014: Most played it safe instead of going glam
The red carpet parade at the Oscars is among the most anticipated events of the year for fans of both Hollywood and fashion, but at Sunday's Academy Awards, the fireworks were few.
It was refreshing to see Lupita Nyong'o — who has quickly become a fashion standout — twirl the pleated skirt of her pale blue Prada dress as she posed for photographers. What a young, lovely thing to do, rather than throw a hip out and put her hand to her waist as so many young actresses do in a pose that has become a cliche'.
Yes, the other celebrities looked gorgeous — the gowns fit like second skin, the tuxes were tailored just so. The jewelry was gorgeous and the accessories tended to match in a well-coordinated effort.
So what's the problem?

The Malaysian government has pushed back the dates of its planned film, TV and related contents market from November to March next year.
The Kuala Lumpur Communications and Creative Industry Mart (KLCCIM) will take place March 26-29, shortly after Filmart in Hong Kong (March 18-21). The new event aims to attract around 200 sales companies and 300 buyers and will also feature a projects market, conference, international masterclass and networking events.
It's expected that the market will be held concurrently with the International Film Festival of Malaysia, which was also originally scheduled to be held in November. The festival is expected to screen 50-60 films with a focus on Asian and ASEAN talent.
The date change was announced by Dato' Sri Kamaruddin Siaraf, secretary general of Malaysia's Ministry of Information, Communications & Culture [pictured], at the MIPCOM programming market.
Malaysia is also gearing up for the opening of $120m studio complex Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia, which is scheduled to open its doors next year in Iskandar in south Malaysia. The studio is a joint venture between the UK's Pinewood Shepperton and the Malaysian government's investment arm, Khazanah Holdings

Taking a cue from the ever so popular fairy tale genre, Nicki Minaj presents us with her video for her latest song: "Va Va Voom." But don't think for one second that it's all fluff. Despite the fact that the opening scene shows unicorns running through a forest stream in soft focus, this is Nicki Minaj. Things are about to get weird.
True to form, Nicki raps effortlessly while wearing colorful wigs and various outfits, including a gigantic, wooden, ornately-carved unicorn headpiece complete with epaulettes.
Wide eyed and looking a touch crazed, Nicki stares into the camera singing, "I wanna give you one last option/ I wanna give you one last chance/ If you're looking for the main attraction/ Just hold on tight and let me do my dance/ if you want it I'm gonna be va va voom, vow."
She continues to gyrate her way through the video portraying everything from the coy damsel in distress to the evil queen. There's even a little nod to Snow White sans the 7 sidekicks.
All in all the video is 100% pure Nicki Minaj and she proves to the world once again that as of right now, she IS the fairest of them all.
Check out the video here.

Colorado gained on Hawaii–Pounds, that is; Dropping to second-least obese state
Hawaiians were the least likely Americans to tip the scales at obese levels in 2014, with Coloradans a close second for lowest obesity rates.
Hawaii's rate was 19 percent. Colorado's was 20.1 percent, according to a Gallup-Healthways survey released May 27.
Actually, Coloradans were slightly meatier — on average — than Montanans in 2013. Colorado last held the skinniest spot in 2012. But Colorado consistently has had one of the two lowest obesity rates since 2008.
The data are based on survey respondents' self-reported height and weight. Americans with a body-mass index of 30 or higher are classified as obese.
Nationally, the obesity rate rose to 27.7 percent in 2014, compared with 27.1 percent in 2013 and 25.5 percent in 2008.
Mississippi and West Virginia have had the two highest obesity rates since 2012. And, since Gallup and Healthways began tracking this in 2008, five states have been among the top 10 every year:Louisiana, Arkansas, Virginia, Kentucky, Mississippi and West Virginia.
As far as up and down: Four states had significant increases: Nevada, New Mexico, Alabama and Minnesota. Only one state, Tennessee, enjoyed a statistically significant drop in obesity in 2014.

|This dissertation focuses on an application of stochastic dynamic programming called the optimal stopping problem. The decision maker has to choose a time to take a given action based on sequentially observed random variables in order to maximize an expected payoff. All previous research on optimal stopping assumes that the distributions of random variables are completely known or partially known with unknown parameters. Throughout the dissertation, we address the problems with the uncertainty assumption that the random variables are from one of two possible distributions with given initial probabilities as to which is the true distribution. The probabilities are then updated in a Bayesian manner as the successive random variables are observed.; We first consider a problem of optimal stopping called asset-selling problem. There is a sequence of offers that comes in from a fixed but unknown distribution. The decision maker has to decide to take an offer or continue to observe the next offer. There is a fix cost for each offer observed. We consider both the cases where recalling a past offer is allowed and not allowed. Under our uncertainty assumption, the optimal solutions cannot be attained numerically. For each case, we present a dynamic programming model and present some structural results of the optimal policy. We propose some heuristic policies and upper bounds of the optimal expected return. Using simulation, the performances of the heuristic methods are evaluated by comparing with the upper bounds.; We study a variant of the asset-selling problem in which the decision now is to set up a reserve price before offers come in. The seller accepts an offer if and only if it is greater than the reserve price. The problem can be viewed as an eBay-like online auction problem if we consider the maximal bidding price of each auction as an offer. We develop a dynamic programming model and show that the optimal solution can be obtained by linear programming.; We then extend the work to another typical optimal stopping problem - the burglar problem. The problem considers a burglar who plans a series of burglaries. He/she may accumulate his/her earnings as long as he is not caught. If he/she is caught during a burglary, he/she loses everything and goes to jail. He/she wants to retire with a maximum expected fortune before he/she is caught. We again address the problem with our uncertainty assumption on the distribution of the returns for each burglary. There are two possible sets of the combination of the probability of a successful burglary and the loot distribution. We present the dynamic programming model and some structural results of the optimal policy. Some efficient heuristic policies are evaluated by comparing with the upper bounds of the optimal expected return.

Story highlights
- Hawaii may rank 49th for voter turnout this year; instead of 50th
- Professor: Hawaii and West Virginia are "dukeing it out" for last place
- CNN's Change the List has been trying to start a conversation about Hawaii's low turnout
- Several polling places in Hawaii ran out of ballots, according to news reports
Sigh. For the last month, I've been telling you about politics in Hawaii, the state that had the lowest voter turnout rate in the nation four years ago. The goal of me typing and typing and typing about the state's voters was the hope that CNN could start a conversation that maybe -- just maybe -- would lead to the state magically bouncing out of last place.
It's now the morning after Election Day. And while it's still unclear whether Hawaii will finish last place for voting, preliminary estimates do offer a ray of hope. According to Michael McDonald, an election results guru at George Mason University, Hawaii likely will slip past West Virginia, handing over the title of the "state that doesn't vote." It feels too early and too odd to celebrate, though, especially given the calamity that ensued in Hawaii on Tuesday.
I'll get to that soon. First, let's look at the numbers. Nationally, voter turnout was down compared to the 2008 presidential election -- with something like 60% of the nation's eligible voters casting ballots for president this year, McDonald said, compared to 62% four years ago. You could argue several reasons why that's the case, from Superstorm Sandy, which depressed turnout in the northeast, to lower-than-expected enthusiasm among Republicans. Not all of the ballots have been counted, but based on projections from McDonald, Hawaii's turnout rate may land in the ballpark of 46.9%. He expects West Virginia's turnout to be slightly lower, at 46.1%.
"It really is a race to the bottom right now," he said.
"We would be in a recount situation if this were a presidential election," he said by phone on Wednesday morning. "It's close enough we need to wait to see what the final reports are, but in this case Hawaii has sort of staked out a lead here and it would be unlikely for West Virginia to come from behind. But it's possible."
Voter turnout rates in both states sunk compared to 2008, when 48.8% of eligible people in Hawaii voted in the presidential race, and 49.9% of people in West Virginia did.
It's too easy to strike up those low turnout rates to apathy. A story headlined "Hawaii voter turnout drops even lower" on the Honolulu news site Civil Beat suggested that voters in the Aloha State are too checked-out to care. "Hot races including a tight contest involving our own homegrown presidential contender couldn't shake Hawaii voters' continued apathy toward elections," wrote Alia Wong.
I can see where she's coming from. But I think the assessment that Hawaii's (or West Virginia's) voter turnout rate is attributable simply to apathy is at best, reductive. At worst, offensive.
Superstorm Sandy pummeled West Virginia one week ago, no doubt decreasing the likelihood that people would trudge out to the polls. And in Hawaii, as Wong goes on to explain, several polling places ran out of ballots, leaving long lines of voters to wait for elections officials to bring in electronic voting machines. Wong references an official from Hawaii's Green Party who says, in her words, the ballot shortage "deterred hundreds of people from casting their ballots." That should infuriate any American, especially since similar issues reportedly plagued voters in other states on Tuesday.
"We can appreciate that people lose patience with the process, and we're very sorry it occurred," a spokesman for Hawaii's election office told Civil Beat.
I'm going to pretend it's Election Day 2000 and settle into a wait-and-see mode before I give any kind of final-seeming assessment of voter turnout in Hawaii. For one, ballots are still being counted, particularly those sent by mail. I also want to talk to people in the state about what happened at the polls -- why, exactly, some precincts ran out of ballots, and what people there think about the situation.
McDonald, the voting guru, expects Hawaii to hop out of last place despite the fact that its turnout, like that for the rest of the country, declined. "Woohoo," he said, sarcastically. Given polling place issues in the state and the fact that there are potentially hundreds of disenfranchised voters on the island of Oahu, it's hard for me to summon much enthusiasm, either.
Still, and no matter the outcome, I'm immensely proud of nonpartisan groups like Kanu Hawaii that go door to door in low-voting areas and encourage people to cast ballots. They're the ones who are going to change attitudes toward voting in Hawaii. And in the long term, they're the ones who will change the list.

Martyrs Maurice and his son, Photinus, and Martyrs Theodore, Philip, and 70 soldiers, at Apamea in Syria
Saint Maurice, a military commander of Syrian Apamea, suffered in the year 305 under the emperor Maximian Galerius (305-311) together with his son Photinus and seventy soldiers under his command (only two of the soldiers' names are known, Theodore and Philip).
During a persecution, pagan priests reported to the emperor that Saint Maurice was spreading the faith in Christ. Brought to trial, Saint Maurice, his son and his soldiers firmly confessed their faith and they yielded neither to entreaties nor to threats. They were then beaten without mercy, burned with fire and raked with iron hooks. Young Photinus, having endured the tortures, was beheaded by the sword before the very eyes of his father. But this cruel torment did not break Saint Maurice, who was happy that his son had been vouchsafed the martyr's crown.
They then devised even more subtle tortures for the martyrs: they led them to a swampy place full of mosquitoes, wasps and gnats, and they tied them to trees, having smeared their bodies with honey. The insects fiercely stung and bit the martyrs, who were weakened by hunger and thirst.
The saints endured these torments for ten days, but they did not cease praying and glorifying God until finally the Lord put an end to their sufferings. The wicked torturer gave orders to behead them and leave their bodies exposed without burial, but Christians secretly buried the venerable relics of the holy martyrs by night at the place of their horrible execution.

During a five-week period from May 28–July 6, Arizona-based Tilted Kilt raised more than $17,000 for the Folds of Honor Foundation through the sale of paper Dog Tags in all Tilted Kilt locations nationwide.
Tilted Kilt's partner with this promotion, Anheuser-Busch, has agreed to donate an additional $10,000 to make the total donation more than $27,000.
A check presentation by Tilted Kilt President Ron Lynch and Pierre Meric of Anheuser-Busch will take place August 22 at 10:30 a.m. at the Tilted Kilt located at CityScape in downtown Phoenix.
The second annual "Here's to Heroes" promotion has allowed Tilted Kilt to salute the sacrifices of the more than one million men and women choosing to serve our country in the United States Armed Forces.
Customers had the option of donating an additional $1 or $5 to put their name on a customized paper dog tag that was displayed on the pub walls.
"There is nothing greater than giving back to the men and women who have given so much to their country so that we can enjoy all the freedom we experience on a daily basis," Tilted Kilt's Lynch says. "We're thrilled to offer this money to such a great cause."
The Folds of Honor Foundation provides educational scholarships for dependents and families of fallen or disabled service members.
"I know the generous donations from Tilted Kilt and Budweiser will help Folds of Honor provide support to families of U.S. service members," says Major Dan Rooney, founder of the Folds of Honor Foundation. "Of the approximately 240,000 spouses and dependents of service members killed or wounded as a result of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, 87 percent do not qualify for Veteran's Administration educational benefits. Folds of Honor fills the gap for these military families by providing scholarships and other educational assistance opportunities."

The Arctic shouldn't be seen as a source of income, it's a part of Earth, and it should be treated with respect and consideration."

GlobalShift.org, is a news and commentary site. We utilize the creativity and experiences of everyday citizens to ACKNOWLEDGE the injustice in the world today and make others aware, INSPIRE anyone who cares, even a little bit, to do something about it, and ultimately call for a RESPONSE from a generation privileged and equipped like none before to address the great environmental and societal challenges in our world.

For certain, all of our readers share a common interest in staying informed and making the world a better place.
1. Header needs to better reflect our content.
-our current header with greenery and water drops was created in line with our original mission which we dropped. Our content is now all about people making the world better, action steps for the socially conscious, global events, nonprofits and news.
2. Sidebar needs to be reworked in order to become more consistent with the rest of the site and ad space reduced to one 300X250 ad.
3. The content area needs a good shake up to better highlight various topics. At the moment, the wall of text doesn't draw the reader in to specific stories.
4. We need a better presentation of the flash rotator. Let's make it a more memorable experience.
5. There will only be two ads on the site. One 726x 90 and the other in the sidebar, 300x250
6. Please include a sample article page so we can see examples of bullets, image captions and more.
7. We would also like an artist's perspective on the most effective place to add video to the site.
Summary: We are going for the same basic layout, reworked and changed a bit to maximize our content presentation, freshen up our image, reflect our content while catching the visitor's eye

Plastic Paradise is a documentary by Angela Sun about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch at Midway Atoll. It shows how plastic is ruining nature, causing birds and animals to die and polluting the waters. It's pretty bad.
The documentary analyses the change that inventing plastic has had on our lives and tries to answer the question of where the plastic we invent goes. 20t of plastic trash actually end up on the island of Midway Atoll, which is pretty much in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Watch the trailer above and learn more about plastic at Plastic Paradise. [Plastic Paradise via Laughing Squid]

Sustainably hand-harvested and very low sodium OCIA certified organic dulse sea vegetable from Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick. Sun-dried small flakes. Tangy flavor brightens grains, vegetables, salads, pasta, baked potatoes, popcorn, almost any dish. Sprinkle or pour dispenser cap.
Eden Organic Dulse Flakes grows wild in cold waters of the Bay of Fundy surrounding Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick. From April through September dulsers travel to the island in dories. Dulse is hand harvested from rocks at low tide. Taken ashore, it's cut and the fronds are laid on nets covering large flat stones on the beach to dry. The netting prevents it from sticking to the rocks. The summer sun and sea breezes do their job in about one and half days reducing moisture to 12 to 15 percent. The dried dulse is then removed from the nets, baled and brought into the processing facility.
The bales are spread over stainless steel screens for trimming and removal of foreign material. It's then hammer mill ground, passed over a magnet into a sifter of stainless steel screens. Dulse flakes are weighed and packed for shipment to Eden Foods were they're filled into glass jars capped with dispenser tops. Allergen notice: This product may contain trace amounts of shellfish.
Harvesting is managed by biologists who believe natural food can be husbanded and nurtured in the sea with minimal upset of near-shore ecology. They harvest and cultivate organic dulse that converts sunlight and nutrients from the sea into nutritious and delicious food. To ensure supply of high quality dulse, sustained yield harvesting is planned based on detailed surveys and ecology studies of the beds.
Dulse is a red sea vegetable that grows on rocks in the cold waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. It has been harvested for centuries as valuable food rich in vitamins, minerals, trace elements and iodine by coastal peoples of North America and Northern Europe. In Ireland, Scotland, and Wales dulse is used oatmeal soups, hot porridges, breads, and to season meals.
Eden Organic Dulse Flakes are very low sodium and can be sprinkled on whole grains, pasta, hot breakfast porridge, vegetables, salads, and protein dishes. It adds delicious flavor to soups, stews, sauces, salad dressings and is delightful on popcorn and corn on the cob in place of salt.

Rihanna 'Not Done Yet' With Chris Brown?
February 28th, 2019
Chris Brown was born in Virginia on May 5, 1989. He discovered a love for music at a young age, teaching himself to sing and dance after becoming inspired by Michael Jackson. After channeling Usher during a performance of "My Way" at a local talent show, Brown's mother helped her son pursue a career in the music industry. Brown secured his first record deal with Jive Records in 2004.
Brown released his first self-titled album in November 2005, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 and selling mire than two million copies in the United States. Popular tracks from the album include "Run It!", "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" and "Gimme That." His subsequent albums were "Exclusive," "Graffiti," "F.A.M.E.," "Fortune," "X" and "Fan of a Fan," a collaborative record with Tyga. Brown has also forayed into the world of acting, appearing on "The O.C.," and in such films as "Stomp The Yard," "This Christmas," "Takers," "Think Like A Man" and "Battle Of The Year. "
Brown began dating Rihanna in 2008, but their relationship ended in 2009 after an argument escalated into domestic violence. Rihanna suffered visible bruises and facial injuries, and Brown was charged with felony assault, before getting sentenced to community service and counseling. Shortly after, he released a YouTube video, apologizing to fans and Rihanna for the incident, which he described as his "deepest regret." In 2011, Brown started dating model Karrueche Tran, but in January 2013, Rihanna confirmed that she and Brown had started dating again, saying the singer was "not the monster everybody thinks. He's a good person." But by May 2013, Brown and Rihanna were broken up once again. As of 2015, Brown is in an on-again, off-again relationship with Tran.
Brown's probation for his conviction in the Rihanna assault case finally ended on March 20, 2015, though he has been in and out of trouble over the years. That same month, it was also revealed that Brown is the father of a baby girl named Royalty with former model Nia Guzman. His currently untitled seventh studio album is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2015.

Hurricane Katrina scoured the Gulf Coast 10 years ago this week
In a catastrophic event that unfolded as America watched, the Gulf Coast was smashed by Hurricane Katrina 10 years ago on August 29, 2005. Mississippi communities Waveland, Pass Christian, Pascagoula and Biloxi were scoured from the map. Oil platforms and elevated highways were destroyed. Louisiana's crown jewel, New Orleans, suffered mightily.
Beginning about August 23, the Category 3 storm built up a head before finally sweeping six days later through Louisiana and the rest of the Gulf Coast. Its massive storm surge of pushed-up sea water entered the city of New Orleans. Critical levees broke and canals spilled into neighborhoods. The flooding continued long after the hurricane had passed. Almost 300 people died in the Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans East and nearby St. Bernard Parish alone. Bodies of 700 people would be discovered in the city over the ensuing weeks. Overall, at least 1,800 people from the city and Gulf area lost their lives during the event.
A mandatory evacuation of New Orleans had been ordered, but many residents were trapped in their homes as the flooding rose too fast for them to escape.
In the photo above, Colorado rescuers assisted in searching flooded homes for survivors. John Saito of West Metro Fire Station in Golden used his ax to climb atop a home while conducting a primary search in the Dahlman neighborhood of New Orleans. At left is Steve Aseltine, also of West Metro and at right is BM2 Michael Bull of the U.S. Coast Guard, who supplied security for the team. The members of the Colorado Urban Search and Rescue went to New Orleans to help evacuate residents in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Denver Post photographer Craig F. Walker was on scene.
Hurricane Katrina caused $108 billion in damages. It is thought 100,000 homes were lost.
The photos are amazing to look at 10 years later, as the massive scale of the disaster is displayed again.
Hundreds of citizens took refuge in New Orleans' Superdome football stadium and awaited help. It seemed slow to arrive. Little drinking water was available to them and oppressive heat and humidity were constants. Families were helpless for days, trapped, as all surrounding streets and highways were flooded.
Federal and local government response was severely criticized in the aftermath of the disaster, the worst the U.S. had ever seen. But mobilized troops brought food, potable water and order to the streets of New Orleans. The city was by no means the only community victim of the storm. It was, and still is, simply the most iconic and photographed example of an American catastrophe.

A business is only as good as its employees, which is why more and more organizations are offering flexible workforce policies to attract and retain the best workers. Among other things, flexible workforce policies help employees adjust their work schedules to the needs and circumstances of their personal lives, so they can have a healthier work-life balance. The idea is that happier employees are more committed and productive employees, and that leads to better customer service.
We endorse the win-win idea behind workforce flexibility in our new white paper, Flexibility at Work: Human Resource Strategies to Help the Postal Service. We believe the U.S. Postal Service could do better at recruiting and retaining high-quality employees if it started offering flexible workforce policies. As it is, there's relatively little flexibility in postal work schedules, making it very hard to accommodate an emergency or even a pressing situation facing a worker – for instance, kids that need to be picked up at a certain time every day or elderly parents that need to be driven to a regular medical appointment each week.
Properly implemented policies offering things like job-sharing, compressed work weeks, shift-trades, and self-scheduling are proving effective in other industries, as numerous businesses are finding they have a stronger labor force as a result of the flexibility. We don't say which specific policies the Postal Service should implement. Rather, we present four high-level principles to consider when developing flexible workforce policies: create a partnership for flexibility between labor and management; evaluate a portfolio of initiatives; develop more detailed information on the expected or anticipated daily workload; and seek continuous feedback from employees.
What do you think? Are flexible workforce policies a good thing for any business? Are the suggested flexibilities realistic in a service-based business like the Postal Service? What flexibility policies would you like to see in your workplace?

At an afternoon tea held at the home of immediate past chair Dawn Wood, the 19 young ladies who will be presented at the 2012 Denver Debutante Ball met for the first time. It was the first of several such activities that will be held in their honor between now and December, when they will take the traditional walk down the grand staircase at the Brown Palace Hotel and curtsy before a receiving line made up of local dignitaries.
The 2012 debs are currently high school seniors, and will be midway through their freshman year in college at the time of the ball. The tea was organized by Patty McConaty and Eileen Morton; Judy Grant is the ball chair.

text: If the $100ish V-Moda iPhone headphones are slightly out of your price range, RadTech's got a cheaper alternative for your iPhone listening and talking needs. It's essentially the same as the V-Modas or the default iPhone headphones: a pair of earbuds with a microphone on board so you can take a call. For $24.95, we don't expect great quality audio, but they look similar enough to the V-Modas in appearance and much more comfortable than Apple's standard ones. So what's our recommendation? As long as this doesn't suck in terms of audio quality (wait for a review), you should probably pick one up. [RadTech]

The rest of the nation will finally get a look at No. 7 BYU and No. 6 San Diego State with their combined 33-3 records. In the first ever Mountain West game on CBS, the network is sending its big guns _ lead college basketball analyst Clark Kellogg along with veterans Vern Lundquist and Steve Kerr.
The Saturday tip-off is noon MT, which doesn't give San Diego State much time to work themselves into a frenzy.
Depending on upsets from now through the conference tournaments, a No. 1 seed could be hanging in the balance for the winner.
Tickets were gone long ago. It might be the toughest ticket in the city since the Padres played in the World Series.
"We've been a hard ticket to get all season long and now it's impossible. There are no tickets," said Aztecs coach Steve Fisher on this week's MWC teleconference. He has discovered many "long-lost" relatives seeking seats during San Diego State's run this season. He calls it "a good problem to have."
This game, incidentally, was picked up by CBS before the season.
And if anyone wonders how CBS received rights to the showdown of Top 10 teams, it's simple. The MWC originally had a TV agreement with CSTV, since rebranded CBS College Sports. Then the pact was split in half with Comcast.
The MWC simply receives a rights fee.

It is tempting to go out into the Lincoln, DE engagement ring stores and find the most elaborate, intricately-detailed engagement ring for the love of your life! However, before you run out and do that, let's take into consideration a few things that you may not have thought about. Lincoln, DE engagement rings are a "forever" thing, so when you make the final purchase, you want to ensure that it is the perfect choice for "forever".
So, where would you start in your search for the perfect Lincoln, DE engagement ring for your future spouse? You can get a lot of ideas right in the comfort of your home by looking around the Internet at the different styles of engagement rings. Before you start that search, we have a few thoughts for you.
The "Forever" Factor
It has long been the tradition for the man to shop for the engagement ring on his own and keep it a surprise. This does not mean that you should not consult with her friends and family during your Lincoln, DE engagement ring search, but that you should only consult with people who can easily keep your secret. If you are truly trying to surprise her, the last thing that you want is a best friend of hers telling her that you are going to propose and describing the ring to her before you get the chance to "do the deed".
In your search for the perfect engagement ring in Lincoln, DE, you are going to come across many different styles and designs of engagement rings. When we mentioned the fact that you should think about the "forever" factor, what we mean is that you should think about purchasing an engagement ring that will not only be loved immediately when you present it to the lady of your life, but it should be loved forever by her. Engagement rings in Lincoln, DE that are trendy and unique today may go out of style ten years from now, and that is what you want to make sure you steer away from.
Here are some of the trends for engagement rings in Lincoln, DE today that you want to think carefully about before purchasing. This does not mean that we expect these particular aspects to go out of style, but that we suggest that you think carefully about trends before making your final purchase. Sometimes, sticking to a more classic version of the engagement ring is the best choice, but only you can make that decision.
Unique Shapes
It may be exciting and different to present the love of your life with an engagement ring in Lincoln, DE that includes a uniquely shaped diamond. However, you have to think about the size and length of fingers that she has. Each shape works best on a certain sized finger, while others look awkward.
For example, if she has short fingers, the pear, marquis and oval elongated shapes will look best on her hands. A wide band is going to make her fingers appear shorter and squatter. If she has what we call "piano-playing" fingers, which are long and thin, the princess cut and the radiant cut, which are square-shaped, will give the illusion of shorter fingers.
Additionally, if your lady has larger hands, you want to avoid ring settings and bands that are thin and delicate. A marquis or an emerald cut is going to make her hands look extraordinarily disproportional. You should look for cuts like rounded or heart-shaped diamonds for her instead.
3-Stone Engagement Rings
There was a time when Lincoln, DE engagement rings were solely solitaire diamond rings, but today, you will notice that 3-stone engagement rings have become quite popular. Before you jump at the thought of a 3-stone engagement ring, you need to think carefully about this trend, as well. Yes, you can do more with a 3-stone Lincoln, DE engagement ring, but is that as important as keeping it simple?
With the 3-stone engagement ring, you do not have to be limited to just one diamond. On the contrary, you can actually add her birthstone as the center stone and then complement it with diamonds on each side. Or, you can decide to do just the opposite and choose a diamond for the center stone and add her birthstone as two smaller stones next to the diamond.
But, when it all boils down, Lincoln, DE engagement rings that are made with a classic appeal are still the most popular on the market. This is because "classic" styles never go out of style, no matter which century we progress into. So, don't overlook the more basic, classic and traditional styles of engagement rings in Lincoln, DE and get caught up in the trends that may go out of style only a few years down the line.

ISAF council today posteponed the decision on the 10 events for the 2016 Olympic Games to Saturday morning, but a lot of interesting things have been decided already in preparation.
The voting system was discussed as well as some specifications and clarifications of individual submissions.
An important issue here was the meaning of "mixed events". It has been clarified that those events are aiming at a national team medal rather than individual medals, which means two competitors of one nation competing for ONE medal on different equipment. Examples for similar medals in the Olympic Games are team ski jumping, team dressage, or as just introduced in the winter olympics, team luge.
A team event would be surely something new for the world of Olympic sailing and would allow both sports, kiteboarding and windsurfing, to be showcased at the Olympic Games as long as only two medals for board sports are available.
