Isoflex - Strawberry - 2lb
- 27 Grams of Whey Protein Isolate
- 4 Advanced Delivery Systems
- High Concentration for BCAA and Glutamine
Isoflex By Allmax Nutrition - 2lb - Strawberry - Protein
Don't give up taste to get the power of Whey Protein Isolate. The ultimate in taste, the ultimate in convenience – ISOFLEX stakes its claim as the last word in high performance nutrition. There are NO substitutes.
27 Grams of Protein
With 7 critical cofactors in 4 proprietary complexes, ISOFLEX provides not only an ultra pure highly bioavailable whey protein isolate, but also a potent delivery system to ensure powerful nutrient assimilation you can feel.
ISOFLEX is more than 98% Lactose Free!
ISOFLEX combines four proprietary delivery systems. The ingredients in each system work synergistically to provide a high quality and great tasting protein powder that's been designed to help you reach your goals. ISOFLEX protein powder has an excellent macronutrient profile:
- 27 grams of active whey protein isolate
- High concentration of BCAAs and glutamine
- Fast-absorbing with 4 advanced delivery systems
- Advanced cold temperature process microfiltration
- 0 grams of fat
- Only 1 gram of carbohydrate
- Only 0 gram of sugar
- Over 98% lactose-free
- 7 critical cofactors
- Completely aspartame-free
Whey Protein Isolate
In terms of the flavoring, what really makes ISOFLEX stand out are the actual chocolate chips in the chocolate flavor that provide a nice consistency and the real pieces of strawberry in the strawberry flavour. If you mix the chocolate peanut butter flavor with ice, it tastes a lot like Reese's Pieces and you can't get much better than that!
What is whey and why is it so valued as the core foundation of every serious performance nutrition program? Whey is a thin, watery portion of milk chockfull of high-grade protein that's separated during cheese production. It is extracted through a two-step process. The type of extraction conducted to separate whey from milk is what really determines the quality of whey protein. It's this exact process that also sets ISOFLEX protein powder apart from others on the market.
How is ISOFLEX Made?
ISOFLEX is extracted through CTP™ (Cold Temperature Process) microfiltration. This is a cross-flow microfiltration (CFM) process that removes the larger, less absorbable protein molecules while filtering out fat, lactose and ash that are normally present in whey concentrates and other lower quality protein powders. This is similar to the way reverse osmosis in water purification works. The Low Temperature Microfiltration Provides Undenatured Protein with many Bioactive Whey Protein Fractions
CFM is one of the best methods for extracting protein on the market today. The whole process takes place at a chilly 4 degrees Celsius, or 39 degrees Fahrenheit and leaves almost 100% of the protein and peptides intact. It also yields the highest amount of undenatured (bio-active) protein available. Our whey protein isolates are manufactured by chilling or low temperature microfiltration process and dried by indirect heat. The low temperature microfiltration process allows the whey protein isolates to provide undenatured protein with a full balance of bioactive whey protein fractions, including high levels of naturally occurring immunoglobulin, lactoferrin and glycomacropeptides (GMP).
The filtration ceramic membranes used for the CFM process are extraordinarily fine and have the ability to remove even more lactose, ash and fat than the process of ultra-filtration, which is used for lower quality whey protein products. Using this sophisticated process, ALLMAX is able to produce ISOFLEX, a superior ultra pure protein that maintains an optimal macronutrutient ratio, yielding 27 grams of protein, 1 gram of carbohydrate and 0 grams of fat.
Pure Whey Protein
Other whey processing technologies use higher temperatures that cause irreversible unfolding of the protein fractions that can drastically reduce the biological activity of the protein. Based on solubility at a pH of 4.6, ISOFLEX has a mere 3% denatured proteins, which is approximately 10% less than ion-exchange whey protein isolates and typically less than other microfiltration whey protein isolates. ISOFLEX also contains up to 12 times more native GMP than ion-exchange whey protein isolates.
To produce whey isolate the protein goes through the following steps:
Fresh milk is tested by quality assurance experts.
- The curd portion of the milk fat is separated out for cheese.
- The watery liquid portion that is chockfull of high-grade protein is filtered through a microfiltration process to remove lactose and ash.
- The concentrated liquid goes through the CFM process, which eliminates the need for harsh chemicals used in other processes.
- The water is removed and the whey is dried.
- Ultra pure whey protein isolate is packaged and ready for our ALLMAX customer.
All of these steps are performed at a cGMP licensed manufacturing facility to ensure quality and integrity. Every ingredient and every lot produced is independently lab tested for purity and quality to ensure consistent quality every time.
ISOFLEX is manufactured in the US with US Dairy Cows. ALLMAX protein products contain absolutely zero protein sourced from China.
Every lot of ALLMAX proteins are tested for heavy metals. No lot is ever released if it does not pass these tests.

April 04, 2013
By Kenneth Miller
Assistant Managing Editor
Controller Wendy Greuel got one enormous assist from former basketball icon Earvin 'Magic' Johnson, that fueled her campaign for mayor of Los Angeles.
"The Black community helped elect James Hahn and Antonio Villraigosa to become mayor," said Johnson as he embraced Greuel on the outside steps of Church of God in Christ West Angeles Church on Crenshaw Blvd. last Thursday. Then he emphatically said, "And we are going to elect Wendy Greuel as mayor of Los Angeles." The crowd then erupted in applause.
The race for mayor began right after the March primary, but the fight for the City Hall seat has officially leaped into high gear nearly two months before the voters decide on May 21.
An estimated 100 of the most influential leaders in the Black community shared Johnson's sentiments in support of Greuel, and many of them held 'Win Wendy' placards above their shoulders in demonstration.
"When you can put together a group of people like this to support one candidate, then you know this whole community supports this candidate," said Johnson. "We speak for a lot of these people who live here, all of these people standing here.
"We love this woman because she loves us. We love this woman because she's been in our community for many-many years and the fact that she is going to get the job done."
Johnson told Greuel that he is in her camp 100 percent and is willing to go door-to-door to make sure that she becomes the first woman mayor in history of Los Angeles.
The former Lakers' great and global businessman represents the present and future of Black political influence, and was joined at the podium by Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, John L. Mack of the Los Angeles Police Commission, Bishop Charles E. Blake of West Angelus, Watts community activist 'Sweet' Alice Harris and Sentinel Publisher Danny J. Bakewell Sr.
Dozens of others such as former Congresswoman Diane Watson, Bishop Kenneth Ulmer, former City Councilman Dave Cunningham and an array of noted constituents have pledged to elect Greuel as the next mayor.
Bakewell preceded Johnson in speaking on behalf of Greuel and extorted the crowd to shout 'Wendy Greuel—Wendy Greuel' before settling into a more focused theme.
"It's not often the Sentinel comes out to support a candidate almost two months before the election, so this shows just how important this is," said Bakewell. "You can't judge people by what they are doing today, you have to judge them by what they have been doing and Wendy Greuel has always been in our community and advocated for our community."
Greuel thanked her supporters and pledged to continue her strong relationship with the Black community by ensuring their voices are heard and interests addressed if she is elected mayor.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and write your letter to the Easter Bunny and stuff your Easter stocking with treats for the youngsters. LET'S GO!
CINEMA VERITE – 9:00PM Saturday (HBO) You may have thought MTV's "The Real World" was the birth of reality TV, but you'd be WRONG! Reality television was born in 1973 with the PBS documentary series "An American Family," in which cameras followed the Loud family around as they revealed their deepest and darkest secrets to the American public. Now, 38 years later, HBO has made a TV movie about the production of the landmark series, featuring Diane Lane and Tim Robbins as the Louds. The movie is supposed to be quite good, so keep that in mind when you watch a similar HBO film about the making of "Flavor of Love" four decades from now. ANTICIPATION: DRAMATIZATION!
THE KILLING – 10:00PM Sunday (AMC) I am fully on board with "The Killing." I've watched every episode and there's no stopping me now. I WILL find out who killed Rosie Larsen, and I will find out if the shady partner guy was lying when he said he was smoking NARC reefer (it was totally real!). And yet, I have so many grievances against the show. I still think the main character of Sarah Linden is pretty boring. And her needy fiancé is, like, triple boring. Just have her stay and be done with that stupid plotline already. And I'm also not wild about the stereotypical stuff with the political maneuvering, along with completely stereotypical punk teenager characters. And yet… I'm hooked. I think it's the lighting. Oh, and the complete devastation I feel after watching it. ANTICIPATION: HIGH!
TREME – 10:00PM Sunday (HBO) David Simon's New Orleans pastiche kicks off its second season on HBO Sunday Night. I am currently knee deep in season four of "The Wire," which means I'll manage to get around to this show starting in… oh… call it 2018. ANTICIPATION: GUMBO!
BEYOND THE BLACKBOARD – 9:00PM Sunday (CBS) It's an "Everwood" reunion of sorts with this TV movie that pairs Treat Williams and Emily VanCamp together once more. VanCamp plays a teacher who must win the hearts of a bunch of hardscrabble homeless students. Lessons will be learned. Bridges will be built. And there will be punch and cookies. ANTICIPATION: IF SHE'S UNION, SHE GETS TOO MUCH PENSION!
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS – 7:00PM Saturday (ABC) Celebrate Easter with Cecil B. DeMille's biblical epic starring Charlton Heston, airing ABC Saturday night. Behold the power of Moses' beard. ANTICIPATION: LET HIS PEOPLE GO!

State Sues Makers of Diabetes Drug, Claims Deceptive Advertising
Attorney General Jack Conway and his Office of Consumer Protection have filed a lawsuit against GlaxoSmithKline, LLC (GSK), the manufacturer of the prescription drug Avandia. The lawsuit filed this week in Franklin Circuit Court alleges that GSK violated Kentucky's Consumer Protection Act by engaging in deceptive advertising, overstating the effectiveness of Avandia and hiding the drug's risks from Kentuckians.
Avandia is a prescription drug that launched by GSK in 1999 and marketed as a treatment for diabetes. GSK asserted that Avandia was a "significant advance" in diabetes medication. Additionally, the drug maker affirmatively represented that Avandia could reduce the cardiovascular risks suffered by diabetics. As of 2010, more than 370,000 Kentuckians had been diagnosed with diabetes, the condition that Avandia purportedly treated. The Attorney General's lawsuit alleges that Avandia, rather than reducing cardiovascular risks, actually increases the cardiovascular risks for diabetics.
The Attorney General alleges that GSK tested Avandia before its release to the public and discovered that it posed greater cardiovascular risks to diabetics than other drugs on the market at the time. The lawsuit purports that the makers of Avandia, fully aware and in spite of the increased health risks to Kentucky consumers, proceeded to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to advertise, promote and sell Avandia to the public.
"The filing of this complaint sends a clear message that we will not tolerate drug companies that put profits ahead of patient care," General Conway said. "We will not stand idly by as drug companies operate outside of the law and put Kentuckians' health at risk."
The complaint also alleges that the makers of Avandia knew that there was no scientific evidence to substantiate their claims about the safety and effectiveness of the drug. GSK is accused of compensating scientists who made favorable findings about the safety and effectiveness of Avandia. The lawsuit claims it was GSK's policy to bury unfavorable scientific data about Avandia by not releasing the negative findings, or only releasing limited information about the tests.
"Doctors from the Mayo Clinic found that 87 percent of the authors who wrote scientific articles about the safety and effectiveness of Avandia had financial ties to GSK," General Conway said.
Attorney General Conway is seeking injunctive relief and civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation against GSK. The injunctive relief sought would seek to prevent GSK from conducting business within the Commonwealth in an unfair, false, misleading and/or deceptive way in the future.
The FDA has issued severe restrictions on the prescription of Avandia due to the serious cardiovascular risks it creates. Several other State Attorneys General are currently in similar litigation with the makers of Avandia.

SharpEye™ for Irish Navy
October 2, 2013 - Kelvin Hughes is delighted to announce that the Irish Naval Service has selected the SharpEye™ radar and the MantaDigital™ display for the incremental upgrade of its fleet.
Ships of the Irish Naval Service operate in some of the harshest maritime conditions, including the North Atlantic, and the decision in favour of SharpEye™ was strongly influenced by the enhanced situational awareness that the radar system can provide, particularly in adverse conditions and high sea states. Under the terms of the contract, the upgrades will take place over a three year period as vessels become available for or require a refit.
Available in both I and E/F band frequencies, the SharpEye™ radar system represents a radical and innovative departure from current marine navigation radar technology in that it has no magnetron and uses a coherent transmission, making it capable of separating small targets from clutter due to their differing radial velocity components. The MantaDigital™ workstation is a multi-function display platform, which can host radar, ECDIS and conning functionality on a wide-screen display surface.

I know that it's a picture of a model but I assume that's what it is.... Is the NS planning on going somewhere where a 2 way shooting match is envisaged?
Everyone who's ever loved you was wrong.
Not quite whats in the photo. Its armour plating that works similar to a folding screen you see ladies getting changed behind in the old B&W movies. You erect it around your pintle mount secondary armament in the absence of a solid bulwark.
If my assumption is correct it just points out the absolute horseshit that's been spewed by UCC, CIT & the NS there's small fabrication workshops all over the country that could knock these together all the need is the steel. Imerc is meant to create jobs yes? That fancier model na grohmití posted isn't that much more work.

It is not that complicated Dev, the Blue sky thinkers in Imerc could help a company figure it out. The NS has enough mechanical engineers that they could do it in house ffs.

Anything above 25k worth of work and it has to go out to tender......
Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe
They could dress it up as a research project if they were interested, the mysteries of the tendering process will ensure that some non Irish company will get the job.
Everyone who's ever loved you was wrong.
Was there not a similar tender to this put out some months ago?
Type of steel, design, and heat treatment would want to be bang on, or the legal slugs will have a easy day in court if a round gets pass it or a scab flies of the back of the armour.
Might be safer to buy off the shelf.

Vox Standard 25, the design of which was obviously based on the Stratocaster but with a much more rounded-shaped body. The Vox Custom 25 - as seen here - was the deluxe version and shared the same body shape as the Standard but was of through-neck construction and had dual DiMarzio humbuckers and a Les Paul like control layout. For myself I really dislike the pickup selector switch on the upper horn - I find it's far too easy to hit accidentally while playing and also aesthetically looks ugly, I always think. (I know, I don't really like it on Les Paul guitars either, and I'm speaking as someone who play a Vintage LP-style guitar these days).
These guitars, along with the Standard and Custom 24 models with a more Gibson-like scale length, are often spoken of today in reverential tone by those in the know. Phrases like "the best guitars ever produced under the Vox name" are often bandied about. This is very possibly true - at least until the latest boutique offerings from Vox. They were built in Japan (I want to say at the now legendary Matsumoko factory but I don't actually have any info to corroborate that - I think I read it somewhere) and were extremely solid, reliable and well-made guitars if a little on the weighty side. My Standard 25 served me well for many years until I fell in love with a paisley Stratocaster, which I did prefer because not only was it prettier but it seemed to be much more resonant and ultimately much more playable.
Nevertheless, these early 80s Voxes are ones to look out for!

The K-Drama
Phoenix (2004) is a South Korean television drama (K-drama) that aired on the MBC network. It is a traditional K-drama and has all of the necessary elements to be a soapy, melodramatic production. The story is about a young couple in love and life's obstacles in the path to happiness. A young woman from a rich family marries a poor man against her family's wishes. After some drama they get a divorce. Ten years have passed. The rich girl is poor and the poor man is rich. When their paths cross again, their love resurfaces, but some people have other intentions for them. For a K-drama, Phoenix is engaging from the start. The storyline unfolds well and the drama is intense.
Jang Sae-Hoon (Lee Seo-Jin) is the male lead. He is a good-hearted person with a lot of ambition. When he was a child, his father passed away in an untimely accident. Afterwards, Sae-Hoon went to work at a gas station. Since, he keeps up with his studies and is being consideration for a prestigious scholarship in the United States. His life changed for the better or worse -- depending on how you look at it -- when the leading lady Lee Ji-Eun (Lee Eun-Joo) entered his life. Ji-Eun is a spoiled brat from a rich family. She is a snob with no care about anyone but herself.
Sae-Hoon and Ji-Eun first met after she irresponsibly drove her car through the gas station. While the accident was clearly her fault, she blamed him for it. In her angry state, she stole his book bag. The loss of the bag prompted Sae-Hoon to pursue her. Coincidentally enough, Sae-Hoon approached Ji-Eun after she had struck a deal with some of her rivals. She bet her "friends" that she had a great looking boyfriend and would bring him to their friend's wedding. To her dismay, Sae-Hoon is her only option. She begged him to be a pretend boyfriend. He reluctantly agreed. Afterwards, they developed feelings for each other and fell in love.
Unfortunately, the young couple's love is forbidden. Since Ji-Eun comes from a rich elitist family, they do not welcome the poor Sae-Hoon into their home. Ji-Eun develops a plan to make them accept him. She gets impregnated. When Ji-Eun's father learns of it, he demands she gets an abortion or leave the family. She goes with Sae-Hoon, who is now her husband. Sae-Hoon is happier than ever. He does everything to give Ji-Eun a good life, but despite taking on another job, has difficulty pleasing her. As the situation unfolded, Ji-Eun had a miscarriage and demanded a divorce. He gives her one and leaves to study in the United States. Ji-Eun has second thoughts and chased after him. Her father went to stop her died in a car accident.
Ten years later, the storyline picks up. After Ji-Eun's father died, her family lost everything. They went from riches to rags. Ji-Eun was forced to become the kind of person she despised, poor. Now, she is kind, somber, and understands the hardships of life. Her mother is miserable and her younger sister blames for ruining their lives. Ji-Eun does what she can to make things good for everyone around her -- partly due to her guilt. At the same time, Sae-Hoon returns to Korea as a new man. He has become rich, powerful, and well respected. Oh, how the tables have turned.
As fate would have it, Ji-Eun and Sae-Hoon cross paths. Their first sighting of each other is awkward, as the role reversal is full of irony. The series' drama continues to focus on their new relationship. There is still chemistry between them, but there are a couple roadblocks: Suh Jung-Min (Eric Mun) and Yoon Mi-Ran (Jeong Hae-Yeong). Jung-Min and Mi-Ran are the other two leading characters. Jung-Min is the heir apparent to the Suh-Rin group, where Sae-Hoon was recently appointed as director. These guys have some drama facing each other as who will run the company. Mi-Ran is an old friend/rival of Ji-Eun and Sae-Hoon's fiancee. Mi-Ran and Sae-Hoon's love is not real. They were in a car accident and she lost the use of her legs. Since, he has felt guilty and allowed himself to fall in love with her.
The most enticing developments involve the love triangles with the main cast. Clearly, there is something between Sae-Hoon and Ji-Eun. However, the other leading characters have their own opinions about it. Jung-Min has feelings for Ji-Eun. He is a ladies man, who acts carelessly to cover up a personal demon. His feelings for Ji-Eun make him want to live and love again. He desperately tries to win her heart. Mi-Ran is also a contender. Her love for Sae-Hoon is not pure. After finding out his first wife was Ji-Eun, she enacts a cunning and conniving plan to keep him at her side. As the story unfolds, there are many other gripping developments and the entertainment factor never falters.
Overall, Phoenix is an intense K-drama with all of the right elements to make it topnotch. The leading characters are fantastic in their roles. Lee Eun-Joo is adorable as Ji-Eun. She is very convincing in her somber role. She is someone you can feel for. Lee Seo-Jin makes for the prefect male lead. He carries his character with the right demeanor and interacts with the other leads well. Jeong Hae-Yeong is sweet at the surface and fits the villainous role. Eric Mun is also good in his role. He is not as outstanding as the rest of the cast, but he makes for good competition. The show's other aspects, such as writing and presentation are also worth mentioning. The writing is strong and unfolds a soapy, melodramatic storyline in an enticing and entertaining manner. In the end, Phoenix is a topnotch K-drama that will not fail to impress.
The DVD
This release is given in 1.33:1 ratio full frame color. The picture quality is good, providing a clear and clean picture with minor color distortions and compression artifacts. Both dark and bright colors are represented very well.
The audio is given in Korean 2.0 stereo sound. The track is dialogue driven and has limited use of the surround/stereo capability. The music sounds good; it is dynamic and vibrant. For non-spoken language options, there are English subtitles.
The entire first episode for the K-drama Damo is included.
Final Thoughts:
Phoenix is a K-drama with an underlying premise like many others in the genre. However, what separates Phoenix as a shining star is the strong cast, the excellent writing, and the intense storyline. The developments, both character and plot, are executed very well. Despite the soapy, over-the-top melodramatic nature of the show, it provides a compelling drama with characters who feel real and people you can truly care about. Overall, Phoenix is the K-drama genre at the top of its game. It is must see TV for K-drama fans and will also serve as great introduction for newcomers to the genre.

A parent recklessly endangering an infant by leaving him unattended, this time in the bath? Tragically typical. But wait, she was playing Facebook games. This, folks, is a crime of our times.
Shannon Johnson, 34, was playing Cafe World and checking status updates while her 13-month-old son was in the bath. The baby died of anoxic brain injury, cardiac arrest and drowning. If convicted, she could face up to 48 years in prison.
More twisted than what was distracted her was what she told investigators about why the baby was left alone in the first place:
"She started doing this when he really wanted to be left alone; he was a very independent baby. She also said she knew what it was like to be told no, she didn't want her baby to be told no and didn't want him to be known as a mama's boy."
Pick your malaise: Permissive parenting, fear of being a "mama's boy," Facebook. We personally would like to crawl into a hole for awhile.

This book introduces the C programming language and is filled with samples of typical microcontroller application programs. Examples are keyed to a low-cost Silicon Image target board (purchased separately), but you may use any development board; the development processes may differ slightly from those in the book, but the software examples should run the same on any 8051-family processor.
The concepts of real-time operating systems are covered and two RTOS are developed. Several chapters provide algorithms for number conversion, display interface, and use of tables. Extensive coverage of serial communication and small-area networks is included. Several chapters cover interface electronics commonly used in embedded products.
Author Thomas W. Schultz presents this book in a non-technical, easy-to-follow style. However, it is intended not only for students and hobbyists, but professional engineers as well.
This book is a good starting place if you are developing embedded microcontroller applications of any sort. In it you can:
Program examples illustrate the use of the common internal peripherals of the 8051 family of microcontrollers. While the examples are set to run on a specific microcontroller the "target" board most will work with any 8051 processor.
The focus is on embedded applications; the attached hardware is likely to be switches and solenoids rather than disk drives and keyboards. The examples encompass multitasking (based on a real-time interrupt) where a microcontroller can handle almost any number of inputs and outputs at the "same" time.

Expert Advice
Choose a headlamp with a lightweight, compact design and features that offer utility on your hike. An adjustable headband and simple push-button switch ensures that using your device is a snap. Think about these factors when selecting your headlamp:
Some headlamps offer a fixed beam width, while others offer adjustable widths. Flood and wide beams are useful for a variety of outdoor tasks. This beam mode does not project light a long distance, rather, it focuses light on a specific area. Narrow spot beams enable long-distance viewing—a valuable factor for hikers navigating long, dark trails.
Many headlamps come with a variety of high and low-light modes, including flashing strobe lights, boost or high beams and standard low-light. Using an "economic mode" enables you to preserve battery life.

Friend of F1@1F Ryan Malphurs in WaPo
In this morning's Washington Post, Bob Barnes features Ryan Malphurs's newly-published study on the effects of laughter in the Supreme Court:
The Texas litigation consultant studied all the notations of laughter during the court's 2006-2007 term, and discovered a few more himself while listening to tapes.
He found that fewer than half the comments were directed to the lawyer in front of the justices, or even to the argument he or she was making.
The rest were self-referential, or about the court, or about some third party, such as Congress or government in general.
In scholarly fashion, Malphurs – who studied the court for his communications dissertation at Texas A&M – looked for deeper meaning:
"The justices' laughter diminishes formal control and power barriers, facilitating communication amongst themselves, between the justices and advocates, and with the audience members as well."
I met Ryan on the Supreme Court sidewalk before the first day of the term, where he gave me a preview of this study as we paced in front of the Court trying to keep warm. He stayed in line for the rest of that first week and later, in a post for F1@1F, reflected on his night with the crowd for Snyder v. Phelps.
Congratulations on the great press, Dr. Malphurs, and keep up the great work!
UPDATE (1/24/11): Adam Liptak of the New York Times gives Malphurs's study a look.

An arbitrator has decided that Starbucks owes $2.7 billion in damages for pulling out early from a distribution deal with Kraft Foods.
Starbucks owes Kraft Foods big-time.
An arbitrator on Tuesday concluded that Starbucks must pay $2.23 billion in damages plus $527 million in prejudgment interest and attorney's fees, following the coffee giant's early termination of a bagged coffee grocery deal between Starbucks and Kraft Foods. The award will go to Mondelez International, which spun off Kraft Foods in 2012.
The rift began in March 2011, when Starbucks prematurely scrapped a contract with Kraft that permitted Kraft to sell bagged Starbucks coffee in grocery stores. That contract began in 1998.
Both sides finger-pointed. Starbucks said that Kraft mismanaged the brand and had breached the contract. But Kraft denied the Starbucks charges and demanded that Starbucks pay Kraft a fair value for the business. For Kraft, the business brought in annual revenues of about $500 million.
"We strongly disagree with the arbitrator's conclusion," said Troy Alstead, Starbucks chief financial officer, in a statement. "We believe Kraft did not deliver on its responsibilities to our brand under the agreement."
He said that Starbucks will host a conference call to discuss the outcome of the arbitration on Wednesday.
"Taking our packaged coffee business back from Kraft was the right decision for Starbucks, our brand and our shareholders," Alstead said in the statement. "The results over the past two and a half years clearly demonstrate that Starbucks at-home coffee portfolio is significantly healthier than it was before we assumed direct control from Kraft."
Mondelez shares were up 2.3% to $33.19 in afternoon trading Wednesday. Starbucks was up 0.5% to $81.11.

For some, Reformation Sunday is the Christian equivalent of the Fourth of July, a day to celebrate freedom from an oppressive overlord. For others, Reformation Sunday is a day to remember that the Church is called to read the times and respond faithfully in every generation. For some, Reformation Sunday is simply a Sunday to commemorate events lost to the past, the memory of which does little more than make Lutherans feel good about "beating" the Roman Catholics.
During this Reformation week and as we approach the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, we should question practices of exclusion at the Eucharistic table where Christ intended to unite us. We should wonder at our treatment of children when we in effect teach them they can partake of Holy Communion only when they have reached a certain level of intellectual agreement and assent. We should wonder how we can ever hope to overcome the much greater forms of segregation (ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc.) if we cannot even come together around the table of our one Lord, Jesus Christ.
When in practice we teach justification through right belief, we return to pre-Reformation thought. The practice of excluding children from the Sacrament of the Altar reinforces the notion that God draws an invisible line between those who believe rightly, and are therefore worthy to receive Christ, and those whose lack of acceptable understanding makes them unworthy to receive God's good gifts.
In his Small Catechism, Martin Luther says that "a person who has faith in these words, 'given for you and 'shed for you for the forgiveness of sins,' is really worthy and well prepared [to partake of the sacrament]." Trust, not understanding, makes one worthy to receive. Yet we teach our children through our communion practice and through Reformation history in confirmation that only those with understanding and right belief are acceptable to God.
When Jesus' disciples squabbled over who was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, Jesus placed a child in their midst and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven…Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me." (Mt 18.3, 5) He also told them, "If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you were drowned in the depth of the sea." (Mt 18.6) When Jesus' disciples prevented children from coming to him, Jesus scolded them saying, "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs." (Mt. 19:14)

In a world where many people believe that happiness comes from satisfying their own desires, the 3HO way of life teaches something very different. We are happiest when we can uplift another person, or uplift a difficult situation, even if it costs us something. This compassionate, serviceful view of life comes when we, ourselves, overflow with trust in our own relationship to the Infinite.
Kundalini Yoga offers many deep and profound meditations to develop human sensitivity and human vastness. In opening the higher centers, we begin to experience our lives as part of an endless giving cycle. We give to others. The Infinite gives to us. There is no lack, no fear and no reaction. Happiness comes from being in that flow.
In the 3HO lifestyle, there are specific steps to happiness. Each step builds on the next. Happiness is the crowning result of developing our consciousness and personality. When we enter the state of happiness, then we are capable of living for each other.
The Seven Steps to Happiness
The first step is commitment. In every life you are meant to commit. That is why the word is commit-meant. Commitment gives you CHARACTER.
Character is when all your characteristics—all facets, flaws, and facts—are under your control. Yin and yang meet there, totally balanced. Character gives you DIGNITY.
People start trusting you, liking you, respecting you. Dignity will give you DIVINITY.
What is Divinity? Divinity is when people have no duality about you. They trust you right away. They have no fear about you. Divinity gives you GRACE.
Where there is grace, there is no interference, no gap between two people, no hidden agenda. Grace gives you the power to SACRIFICE.
Power to Sacrifice
You can stand any pain for that person. That sacrifice gives you HAPPINESS.
"Commitment—the power to succeed when you are powerless. Character—you cannot be shaken. Dignity—do not hesitate to do what you have to do for somebody. Divinity— nothing can touch you. Grace— stand any disgrace with grace. Power to sacrifice—know you own nothing, that everything is of God, and give to whomsoever has the need. Happiness —do something for no self-gain. A few breaths of life through you can uplift something for a moment. "I" has only one meaning—that you can do something for somebody. When "I" is for yourself you have wasted your life."

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson goes undercover as a cartel drug runner in order to spring his son from prison in this serious, crime action/drama.
For something as surprisingly straight-faced as this movie is, it turned out to be decently entertaining. I doubt that it will prompt audiences to call out for more dramatic roles for Johnson, but he certainly acquits himself adequately here and provides us with a watchable, entertaining flick.

In the past decade, Luke Perry has transformed himself from a teen heartthrob to a versatile and well-rounded actor. Luke stars in this month's Hallmark Channel original movie, "A Gunfighter's Pledge," part of Hallmark's "Big Summer of Heroes" month.
Luke has been a man in command of his career, and perhaps even a bit outspoken, since he first auditioned for "Beverly Hills, 90210." He originally read for the role of spoiled-brat rich kid Steve Sanders (a part that eventually went to Ian Ziering). "I went in for the audition and was like, 'Look, I know I'm not right for this role, and you know I'm not right for this role.' They were very cool, you know. I just couldn't see myself as Steve. We ended up just having a really good talk."
And the rest, as they say, is history.
Since leaving "90210," Luke has accepted an eclectic mix of television and movie roles. Not surprisingly, he is very practical when deciding what type of role to take on next.
"I consider what I have going on in my life during that time. Have I done that type of role yet? Do I like the character? Or maybe there's an actor I want to work with." Luke explains.
"There are certain things I wanna do before I'm done. I want to run on top of a train. If the script says I get to run on top of a train, I'll do it. I accepted a role a while back — my manager didn't want me to because it wasn't that good — but the script called for running on top of a train. I didn't care, I wanted to do it, so I took the role. The movie ended up falling through, though, which I guess was good."
Growing up in Mansfield, Ohio, taught Luke small-town values and principles. "I only recently started to think about how long I've been doing this. I never want to be in something I don't believe in. Just keep it simple. I try to separate the two — I'm a guy from Ohio, but I live here (in California)."
Luke tries to get back to Ohio whenever he can, especially to cheer on his beloved Cleveland Browns. "I took my son to a game last year. It was so great. Did you see me? I led my section in a verse of 'Hang On Sloopy.' We played the (Baltimore) Ravens, and we kicked their ass! It was great to be there with my son and to explain to him: 'Now here we have the Ravens, and we hate the Ravens. Oh, and let me tell you a little about Art Modell …'"
However, when asked to choose between the state's two major-league baseball teams, the Cleveland Indians and the Cincinnati Reds, Luke is torn. "I'm split between the Tribe and the Reds. I always cheer for both of them."
The same goes for competing amusement parks, Cedar Point and Kings Island. "I haven't been to either since I was a kid, but with Cedar Point you had the Corkscrew. I remember waiting in line for hours for that one! And with Kings Island, remember when Evel Knievel jumped over all those buses? I'll never forget that."
One reason why Luke likes working with the Hallmark Channel so much is the because of the type of family-friendly programming that it brings to American homes. "A lot of TV nowadays is really kind of gruesome. It's nice to be able to just watch a movie on TV with your family. At no point in time as a parent do you have to worry about leaving the room with your kid alone (watching 'A Gunfighter's Pledge'). That's what I like so much about Hallmark: Their programming is interesting and intelligent, but not pandering."
Brian Frons, president, Daytime, Disney ABC Television Group, today announced that two award-winning actors, Antonio Sabato Jr. and Tristan Rogers, will reprise the roles they created for General Hospital of Jagger Cates and Robert Scorpio, respectively, for the second season of General Hospital: Night Shift. The SOAPnet series, which is the network's most-watched of all time, follows the lives of doctors, nurses and patients as they embark on journeys of self discovery, love and heartache. The season premiere is TUESDAY, JULY 22 at 11:00 p.m., ET/PT on SOAPnet.
In other casting news, Billy Dee Williams (Touissant Dubois), Kimberly McCullough (Dr. Robin Scorpio), Jason Thompson (Dr. Patrick Drake) and Sonya Eddy (Epiphany Johnson) will be back for the show's sophomore season. In addition, other members of the cast include Adam Grimes as Dr. Kyle Julian, Carrie Southworth as Dr. Claire Simpson, Ethan Rains as Dr. Leo Julian (he is taking over the role from his real-life brother, Dominic, who was unavailable for Season 2) and Azita Ghanizada as Dr. Saira Batra.
In storyline, Jagger will return to Port Charles after a 13-year absence with his five-year-old son, Stone, in tow. He will reconnect with Robin (Kimberly McCullough), meet some new residents – including Robin's boyfriend Patrick (Jason Thompson) – along the way and, most importantly, face a difficult internal struggle as he grows emotionally as a man and a father. As for Scorpio, the super spy will have to face the fact that he is getting older and his health is failing. Upon his arrival in town, he'll check into the hospital as a patient where his daughter, Robin, will be providing his care. Father and daughter will struggle to figure out their relationship as grown adults.
"It is very exciting to kick off the second season with casting two accomplished actors who will undoubtedly bring their A-game to the series," said Frons. "Because of their own histories with the original top-rated show, the audience will be able to immediately connect with them and their characters' upcoming storylines."
On the casting of Sabato, executive producer Lisa De Cazotte adds: "I couldn't be happier to have Antonio Sabato, Jr. join us this season, as he will bring so much to this season because of Jagger's complex character and for the obvious natural charm he brings to the screen." Head writer Sri Rao continues, "Antonio is a true star. We are proud that he can trace his roots to 'GH' and see it as befitting for him to return to Port Charles in the legendary role that helped propel his career."
As for Rogers, Rao enthusiastically says: "I am thrilled that Tristan will be returning to reprise his iconic role, and I can guarantee fans that they will not be disappointed. Robert's storyline will be heartfelt, funny and robust." De Cazotte continues, "Tristan's return to Port Charles will come with an important story for his character and for his daughter, Robin, that promises to be compelling and touching."
Mr. Sabato originally created and played the role of Jagger Cates on ABC's top rated daytime drama, General Hospital. After leaving the show in 1995, he continued work in a variety of different projects for film and television, including The Bold and the Beautiful, Melrose Place, Charmed and Becker, and is currently seen in the successful summer series Celebrity Circus. (Check him out here on The Wheel of Death.)
Mr. Rogers originally created and played the role of Robert Scorpio on General Hospital more than two decades ago. An accomplished actor, other appearances in his acting career include feature films and television series Opportunity Knocks, Family Law, The Wild Thornberrys, V.I.P. and The Bold and the Beautiful.

I've recently had the pleasure of testing Firefox on the brand new Maemo based Nokia N900 phone (which I blogged about previously), and I have to say I'm impressed. Of course, I'm biased — I love Firefox. I've been using it since the Phoenix days and it's almost part of my DNA these days.
However, I have a confession to make: Firefox isn't yet my default browser on the N900. I think it will be very soon, but right now, my browser of choice on this particular device is another Mozilla-based browser: MicroB. It's actually the best web browsing experience I've ever had on a mobile device (but to be fair, Firefox is the second best experience, so it's definitely up in the same league already).
Allow me to summarize my initial impressions with both of these Mozilla browsers:
- The Awesome Bar in Firefox is… awesome. I never actually reflected on how convenient it was to use until I tried MicroB, which forces me to remember URLs again.
- Weave is probably extremely useful, too, but since I'm using the latest trunk builds of Firefox ("Fennec"), I can't actually use it.
- I'm not completely sold on Firefox's UI model of showing controls on a surface on the sides of the web page. I'd be curious about whether there has been any usability research that suggests it's better than the more traditional toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Btw, I'll follow up with some ideas about this in a future blog post.
- I've fallen in love with the volume rocker zoom in MicroB — it's smooth, fast and surprisingly accurate. Would love to see this in Firefox!
- When double tapping to zoom in MicroB, a subtle zoom animation is used which feels intuitive and responsive. In Firefox, the zoom is instant, making it feel less fluid.
- The default page zoom in Firefox is designed to make the full width of the page fit on the screen. This unfortunately has the side effect of making the text on almost all web pages too small to read. It seems like MicroB has chosen a different approach where the default zoom includes about 800px of the web page width, which makes it possible to read most pages without zooming in.
- Actually zooming in on a page in Firefox is a bit tricky, because it auto-zooms on the object you double tab on, even if that object is only e.g. a small image. This means that you often zoom in too much, and since it's not possible to adjust the zoom level in an easy way (keyboard shortcuts don't cut it, especially not for me since I have the Scandinavian keyboard layout where [Ctrl]+[-] doesn't work), you have to double-tap again to zoom out and then try again.
- MicroB feels more responsive when panning around on a page. This is mostly due to the fact that the UI and panning is done in a separate process from the actual Gecko web rendering process. At FOSDEM, I was pleased to hear in the Mobile talk by Mark Finkle that Firefox will make full use of the Electrolysis technologies that are currently being baked. What this means, in simple terms, is that Firefox will be just as responsive as MicroB in the future since the web rendering process will be separate from the UI/frontend. I can't wait to see the results of that (which of course will benefit desktop Firefox as well).
- The checker pattern seems to show up more frequently on the screen in Firefox compared to MicroB. I don't know if Firefox is just more conservative with how much of the web page it pre-loads off-screen, but sometimes it can cause the whole screen to remain "blank" for a few seconds, which rarely happens with MicroB.
- The Back button history in MicroB is a good idea in theory: when clicking the Back button, small thumbnails of the previous pages are shown, making it easy to pick the page you want to get back to. However, the implementation sucks because it takes several seconds to load these thumbnails and the thumbnails are big enough that you have to pan around in order to see anything more than one page back. Would be nice to see some kind of combination of Firefox's and MicroB's implementation: when tapping on the Back button, Firefox would simply go back to the previous page, but when tapping and holding, it would show a pop-up with preloaded thumbnails in a similar fashion as with MicroB, except without the delay. (Maybe the actual thumbnails could be recorded when you navigate away from a page?)
- Flash — as much as I hate it — works pretty well in MicroB out of the box. In Firefox, I have to enable it manually, and the responsiveness of the UI with Flash enabled isn't great. Can every web site switch to open video, please?
I personally feel that both MicroB and Firefox are really good web browsers, and the fact that they're both powered by Mozilla's Gecko web rendering engine is a huge plus for me. So in a way, I don't feel bad for not using Firefox primarly right now, because my current web browser of choice is still filled with Mozilla love. 🙂
That said, I can't wait to use an Electrolysis-powered version of mobile Firefox later this year!

I am trying to split up a four digit integer so i can perform math on each integer to "encrypt" it. This is what i have so far.
import javax.swing.JOptionPane; public class Project5e { public static void main(String[] args) { String input; int number1; int number2; int number3; int number4; input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is your four digit number?"); number1 = (int)(input.charAt(0)); number2 = (int)(input.charAt(1)); number3 = (int)(input.charAt(2)); number4 = (int)(input.charAt(3)); System.out.print(number1); } }
i know i only have number1 in the output......that is just to test. When i run that and put 1234 for the input i get the number 49 for number 1. Any help is appreciated. I dont know if my current code is just wrong or if i am approaching the entire thing totally wrong.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Kevin Durant had 36 points, Russell Westbrook scored 27 of his 33 in the first half to stake Oklahoma City to a commanding lead and the Thunder beat the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers 114-108 Friday night.
NBA scoring leader Kobe Bryant had 35 points to lead Los Angeles, which trailed by as much as 19 before rallying to get within four in the final minute. Dwight Howard added 23 points and 18 rebounds for the Lakers.
What could have been an early showdown between championship contenders instead had the Lakers limping in with a losing record and three key players out because of injuries.
Westbrook's big first half put the Thunder in control, but L.A. charged back with a late 27-12 run to make it interesting.
