Washington, DC � August 2002 - A substance derived from dogfish sharks suppresses appetite and decreases body weight in rodents, making it a potential new, safe anti-obesity treatment, according to research conducted at Georgetown University and the University of Pennsylvania Schools of Medicine. The results of this study are published in the July issue of the journal Diabetes.
The researchers tested MSI-1436--a natural compound derived from cholesterol obtained from the liver of dogfish sharks--on normal and obese mice and rats. "Our findings were striking," said Michael Zasloff, Dean of research and translational science at Georgetown and the senior author of this article. "The mice receiving the MSI-1436 ate less and lost weight. But the really remarkable thing was that they lost fat instead of muscle, and they experienced no decrease in their metabolism."
Many diets are unsuccessful because when people eat less, their bodies compensate for the reduced caloric intake by slowing metabolism; these people also tend to lose muscle and not fat, Zasloff said, adding that MSI-1436 could potentially counter these limitations. In previous studies, MSI-1436 was shown to correct Type II diabetes in animals with both the genetic and dietary forms of obesity.
MSI-1436 was discovered unintentionally, when the researchers were studying the dogfish shark liver during a search for naturally occuring antibiotics. It is a chemical related to squalamine, which also comes from the dogfish liver and is currently in clinical trials as a cancer treatment. Squalamine, also discovered by Zasloff, belongs to a previously unknown, completely new class of chemicals.
The researchers initially thought that MSI-1436 could be an effective treatment for HIV because it stopped the reproduction of the virus in the lab. However, when the researchers tested it in animals they discovered that it caused them to stop eating and therefore could not be used safely as an HIV treatment. It was then that the researchers realized its potential as an anti-obesity treatment.
Continue Reading Below ↓↓
"It is likely that new drugs will be required to treat obesity in people for whom diet and exercise have proved ineffective," said Rexford Ahima, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and the principal author of this paper. "All of the currently approved anti-obesity treatments have very serious side effects, making them useful only for the morbidly obese."
Phase I trials of MSI-1436 are expected to begin sometime next year, Ahima said. Phase I trials usually involve only a small number of patients, and give an early indication of the treatment's safety and potential effectiveness.

Slight confusion.
In her chapter the mom says she had never done anything like that and never felt that way towards any woman, here she is mentioned to have licked some. ??
No other complaints other than the rather pointless discovering everyone has to do. Seriously, there is no secret, Sammie knew just as soon as Dad got home from visiting the college if not sooner.by Ducky701/10/13by Anonymous01/13/13
The story as a whole is great, just some of the minor details that could be fixed. One, I don't know about you, but I haven't met any women that come as fast as they do in your story. Maybe you've seen differently but in my experience, it takes them a little while. Two, make sure you are spell checking and proof reading the story. It can e a little distracting when you have to go back over what you just read to clarify what it said. That's mainly it. Great story line!by Anonymous01/15/13
Interesting Story
Nice hot sex scents, but as for the other details and characters upon which the story hangs, there are are numerous disconnects and contradictory elements are becoming a distraction. I understand that the characters are only fictional and the authors take some liberties for the sake of fantasies but unfortunately these characters are far from being real.by SomethingInTheWaySheMoves01/23/13by Anonymous01/31/13by Sex4lf5710/02/16

Every charter customer, at some point, asks us for ideas to help them cost justify the charter investment they make to fly with us in what they call the "company plane."
In this article, we will show you a logical approach to budgeting for the company plane, and how it makes economic sense to do so.
The Single Trip Analysis
Your CFO or controller will almost always be able to make the case that flying commercial costs less money than taking the company plane.
If you happen to have four or more passengers, it was a last minute trip, everyone would have paid full-fare coach, and an overnight stay would be needed, you can usually show a break even between that commercial trip and using the company plane for a same day round trip.
But how often do those circumstances happen? Yet, for many companies, that would be the only time they use the company plane.
Annual Usage Is Better
We suggest that the company plane should be used like any business tool, and you should expect a comparable return on the investment.
Instead of analyzing the isolated single trip, what makes better business and economic sense is to plan the annual business strategy using the company plane.
For example, suppose you are planning next year to hire a new sales manager or any executive who supervises multiple teams across a geographic area. Let's assume the annual salary, bonus, and benefits for this new hire would be $100,000.
Now compare the cost and expected return from a new hire to using the company plane twice a month to leverage your existing management team so that you don't need to hire a new manager.
Instead of losing the time it takes to teach a new manager your products, methods, delivery, and support standards, your existing management team would be productive from day one.
Overnight Trips Waste Your Time
Most of your business travel is probably on commercial flights. Even with airport club memberships and first class upgrades, the reality is that commercial business travel wastes an enormous amount of executive time.
You probably take quite a few overnight trips, either to get to your destination city the night before because you have an early morning meeting; or you stay overnight because business ends too late in the day to catch a reasonable flight back home that evening.
Hours could be lost because you left work early the afternoon before the meeting to fly to the destination city. Or you lost an entire morning flying back the day after your business concluded. And you already know how much time is lost getting to the airport an hour before each departure.
We think your experience would show that the average overnight trip results in a minimum of four wasted business hours.
An Extra Four Weeks!
Through strategic use of the company plane, we believe that you can easily gain an additional four weeks each year of productive time, simply by eliminating some of your overnight trips.
If you and your executive team eliminated just 40 of your overnight trips each year, by using the company plane for same day round trips, you would save 160 business hours, or four weeks of productive time. Think about all the ways your company would benefit from you having that extra time!
Back to the CFO
What your CFO may not know is that companies that plan for the annual usage of the company plane are often able to negotiate rates that reflect the higher usage. And that makes the company plane an even more sensible business tool!

Zeibel Keel
|Japanese name:
Age 17
Hometown Rasheans
Weight 51 kg
Height 174 cm
Weapon Rod / Mace
Japanese Voice Actor Soichiro Hoshi
Keel Zeibel is one of main protagonists of Tales of Eternia.
Keel is a scholarly researcher who spends his time at Mintche University, investigating Craymels and their applications. Keel has the ability to cast offensive magic and summon based on what Greater Craymels are assigned to him. Keel fights with staves and maces, but his physical status is unimpressive, and it is often because of him that the party has to take pauses in their journey.
Keee grew up in Rasheans with his parents, Gizro and Lamina. He was friends with Rid and Farah and was involved in going to Regulus Knoll in search of "star fragments." At 13, he enrolled in Minche University, where he became a research assistant in the Light Craymelology department. He created the theory of World Chain Destruction, for which he was kicked out of the University. He left for the Mt. Minche Observatory, which is where Rid, Farah, and Meredy eventually find him. At the end of the story, he chooses to stay in Celestia with Meredy.
Although Keel is obviously the smartest playable character in the party, he is completely clueless when it comes to the real world. Having spent so much time wrapped in his studies and books of facts, he cannot see in shades of grey at first. Things are either black or white, true or false. This is why Keel is so stubborn and hard to deal with, because he has based his entire life on right and wrong. Through the journey, he evolves away from this shell of his and manages to see the "maybes" and to believe based on faith alone.
Keel was renamed into "Keele" in North America localization.

One of the first things you hear after learning you have high cholesterol or triglycerides is that you should follow a lipid-lowering diet. What does that mean and how can you change what you eat to help lower your cholesterol?

There are many different types of low-cholesterol diets out there. These include the TLC Diet, My Plate, and the Mediterranean diet, but there really isn't a specific guideline to follow. Yet, each of these is designed for the same purpose: keep your cholesterol and triglyceride levels in a healthy range.

All a lipid-lowering diet really requires you to do is eat a variety of healthy foods that are low in saturated fat and calories and high in nutrients. It isn't too hard to stick to, either. You can, of course, include more freshly prepared meals in your diet. There is also a multitude of low-fat and more natural packaged foods available for quick meals.

Healthy choices and a little knowledge can go a long way to keeping your heart healthy. These can easily fit into your lifestyle and leave you feeling as satisfied as any high-fat foods. The difference is that you'll probably feel a whole lot better.

Stock Up on Fruits and Vegetables

The cornerstone of any healthy diet is to include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your meals. Not only are these nutrient-packed foods low in calories and saturated fat, they are also high in fiber and phytosterols. These nutrients have been shown in studies to slightly lower your LDL cholesterol levels.

There are virtually no foods in this category that you need to avoid when following a lipid-lowering diet. According to current dietary guidelines, fruits and veggies should take up half of your meal plate. Try to include many in your cart on a shopping trip because it's easier to remember to eat them if they're already in your kitchen.

Love Your Legumes

Chickpeas, lentils, and beans are also an excellent food to put on your plate for a lipid-lowering diet. These foods are not only high in vitamins and minerals, they are also high in cholesterol-lowering fiber. These ingredients — coupled with their high protein content — can help you feel fuller after a meal and reduce the chance of overeating.

Legumes are very versatile and can be included in a variety of foods. This includes everything from a quick salad to an elaborate meal.

Get Your Nuts

Nuts are often underrated. They may be small, but they are packed full of nutrients, including heart-healthy fiber and phytosterols. Many nuts are high in unsaturated fats, especially omega-3 fatty acids – a type of unsaturated fatty acid that can keep your lipid levels healthy.

You only need a handful of your favorite nuts a day to see their health benefits on your cholesterol and triglycerides. Since nuts are also calorically dense, you shouldn't go overboard as this may cause weight gain.

The Right Bread and Grains Are Okay

Contrary to popular belief, it is okay to include grains in your diet. You just have to watch what type of grain you're eating. In some cases, foods like bread can be high in refined carbohydrates.

You can switch out foods containing white flour for whole grain options. This includes things like pasta as well as bread items. Whole grain and whole wheat foods contain more fiber than other types of grains made with refined sugar or white flour. This can help keep your LDL cholesterol levels healthy.

Moderate Your Dairy

The dairy aisle is another area of the grocery store that you do not have to avoid when following a lipid-lowering diet. Full-fat dairy products are high in saturated fat, which is often frowned upon in a lipid-lowering diet. However, there are a couple of studies that suggest that dairy products may have a neutral or slightly beneficial impact on your heart health.

Some dairy products, such as the probiotics found in yogurt, have also been shown to have a positive impact on your lipid levels. These foods can be higher in calories, so try not to go overboard. There are also low-fat varieties of your favorite milk and cheese products available so you don't feel deprived of those.

Opt for Lean Meats

When looking for meat to include in your healthy diet, lean meats such as chicken, fish, or turkey, can help cut fat and calories from your meals. Red meat — including beef, goat, and pork — is higher in saturated fat, which can add calories to your meal.

If you find a fatty piece of meat on your plate, you can trim it off and instantly reduce the amount of fat you consume. However, processed meats like bologna and sausage should be limited. Some studies have shown that regularly consuming these foods could raise your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

This Is Just the Beginning

There are many other heart-healthy foods that you can put in your shopping cart, too. When in doubt, check the nutrition label on the food packaging. A cholesterol-friendly food should be low in saturated fat and refined carbohydrates and high in nutrients such as vitamins, fiber, and protein.

Lerris Cross is looking great
THEY'RE all wondering who the man over the half door could be as an impressive project by a tidy towns group brightens up a famous north Kerry crossroads.
Lerrig Cross has been transformed by Kilmoyley Tidy Towns who have given an old cottage given a long-needed facelift and added a portrait by local artist Seanie Horan of a distinguished looking gentleman leaning on the old half door.
In recent years the northern side of the cross had become oververgrown and it wasn't until the Kilmoyley citizens started tackling it that they realised quite what a gem they had on their hands.
"We really didn't realise what was behind all the scrub and briars until we started clearing it," PRO Billy O'Connor said. What emerged from the thickets was the old Griffin family cottage. Local contractor Gerard Collins and painter Mike Curran gave freely of their time clearing and painting the premises, while Seanie Horan came on board with his wonderful talent.
"It's getting great feedback and we're delighted with the response! Seanie was telling me that everyone keeps asking him if the man in the scene is legendary local hurler Mike Mull. Seanie said that any resemblance was purely coincidental!" Billy laughed.
The home was last inhabited by local man John Brendan Griffin's father. Among a few curios discovered in the house was an interesting improvisation: one of the windows was the back windscreen of a Morris Minor.

Chapter 1: Confessions
Hey hey, alright well this is our first fanfiction, we tried. we are quite big fans of Deltora Quest, both the book and the anime series (more the book). This is set after Deltora Quest 3, it is focused on Lief and Jasmine's new found feelings for eachother, but hings aren't as they seem and things slowly go from bad to worse. anywhoooo, enjoy and please R&R :) please be gentle with us.
Lief and Jasmine watched as the sun set over the palace gardens. The sun's rays glistening over the pond into the faces of the young companions. Lief raised a hand to his forehead to block the reflection from his eyes.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" said Jasmine softly, as she took in the breathtaking sight.
"Are you happy Jasmine?" Lief asked cautiously.
"What do you mean, Lief?" she replied curiously.
"I know it's not where you always imagined yourself to be, but I just want you to know that nothing makes me happier then to have you here... with me"
Jasmine stared at him in awe. What had Lief meant by 'nothing makes me happier then to have you here...with me.' Was it possible; does this mean he felt the same way?She was snapped back to reality by the distant murmur she just made out to be her name.
"Of course I'm happy here wi – Her voice seemed to failed her before she could finish. She looked up at his face, his eyes seemingly set on her. She could feel her face beginning to blush. "Lief I really am happy here with you. I couldn't imagine being here without you."
"R-r-really?" He said. A grin creeping across his face.
"Really." That same smile appearing on her face.
Lief put his hands around her slim waist, bringing them together into a tight embrace. Jasmine placed her hands around his neck, playing with his dark curls. He placed his forehead on hers and they were staring into each other's eyes lovingly. Without thinking about it, they both leaned in and kissed each other. Melting into each other's arms, their kissed deepened; it seemed as if the world around them had just disappeared.
They finally broke apart and together they collapsed under the oak tree in the garden. Lief put his arms around her shoulder and they leaned back against it. Jasmine nuzzled into him, listening to the slow beating of his heart.
"Jasmine...I need to tell you something." His heart began beating rapidly.
"What is it Lief?"
He leaned in so he was millimetres from her ear. "Jasmine." His voice was all but a slight whisper. "I love you."
She smiled into his neck and leant up so was closer to his ear. "Lief, I love you too."
Lief smiled and took her into a kiss and she melted into it. He lay down on top of her to deepen the kiss further. Jasmine's hands entangled themselves in Lief's soft, dark curls and he ran his fingers down her back.
After realising how long they had been sitting there they decided to make their way back to the palace. Lief offered her a hand up, she took it without question. Then they walked hand in hand back to the warmth of the palace.
Hope you enjoyed chapter 1, we tried ever so hard. more to be added soon. Don't forget to R&R we would love to hear your opinions and advice, as well as praise. Again hope you enjoyed it. :) O and C signing off, till next time.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — A military official familiar with the investigation says the civilian who fatally shot a sailor aboard a Navy destroyer came onto the installation in a tractor-trailer and was killed by a sailor assigned to the ship.
The Navy has said the civilian carried a transportation worker's credential that authorized him to be on Naval Station Norfolk.
The Navy has said the civilian came onto the base unarmed and took a gun from a sailor standing watch on the USS Mahan, then used that weapon to shoot a responding sailor.
The official says the victim was the chief of the guard, a security role. His father has identified him as Mark Mayo from Maryland.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to publicly release the information about the civilian or the victim.

USC Football: Trojans Are No. 1 NFL Football FactoryMay 1, 2011
The USC Trojans have one of the most storied football programs in the country starting with the first of 11 national championships in 1928. There have been many great players and coaches during this time.
During the 2011 NFL draft this weekend, nine USC players were picked which tied the North Carolina Tar Heels for the tops of any school.
USC has more NFL first round selections, 75, than any other college. The Trojans also took back the lead over Notre Dame (USC's top rival) in all-time draft picks, 472 to 469, since the draft began in 1936.
Here is the list of the nine USC players selected:
- OT Tyron Smith (Dallas, 9th overall)
- DT Jurrell Casey (Tennessee, 77)
- CB Shareece Wright (San Diego, 89)
- TE Jordan Cameron (Cleveland, 102)
- WR Ronald Johnson (San Francisco, 182)
- TB Allen Bradford (Tampa Bay, 187)
- FB Stanley Havili (Philadelphia, 240)
- WR David Ausberry (Oakland, 241)
- LB Malcolm Smith (Seattle, 242)
Notable Trojans not drafted include center Kristopher O'Dowd, OL Butch Lewis, QB Mitch Mustain, LB Michael Morgan and RB C.J. Gable. Kristopher O'Dowd will likely be picked up as free agent.
Sure they might not have all gone at the top of the draft, but USC's nine equals the total of Alabama (five) and Auburn (four). Miami was next with eight while Nebraska had seven. Ohio State had five and so did TCU. Stanford, Florida, and Oklahoma had four each.
The nine number is amazing when you realize that Oregon had one and Michigan and Michigan State two each, same as Penn State and Tennessee. Notre Dame had just one.
The NFL continued to pick so many USC players despite the fact that the team lost nine games in the past two years, the worst two seasons in the last decade.
Here is an excellent article written by Rick McMahan predicting how well these Trojans will do in the NFL.
USC also has the most NFL Hall of Famers with 11 (Junior Seau and Troy Polamalu will be the next two Trojans to be inducted):
- Frank Gifford, HB (1977)
- Ron Mix, OT (1979)
- Morris 'Red' Badgro, E (1981)
- O.J. Simpson, RB (1985)
- Willie Wood, DB (1989)
- Anthony Muñoz, OT (1998)
- Ronnie Lott, DB (2000)
- Lynn Swann, WR (2001)
- Ron Yary, OT (2001)
- Marcus Allen, RB (2003)
- Bruce Matthews, OT,OG,C (2007)
It is no wonder that so many great athletes who have NFL aspirations select USC, and the Trojans had another top five recruiting class this year despite the NCAA sanctions.
USC is the best football program if you want to play in the NFL.
P.S. As reader Michael Tierney pointed out, USC is tops in the nation in developing talent also.

BP and Anadarko Petroleum Corp. are liable for Clean Water Act violations, a judge ruled, allowing the U.S. to seek fines of as much as $1,100 per barrel spilled in the Gulf of Mexico in the 2010.
BP and Anadarko, partners in the doomed Deepwater Horizon project, are responsible by law for polluting the water because they owned the Macondo well project, U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier in New Orleans said Wednesday. The ruling allows the government to seek fines without having to prove the issue of liability at trial.
Transocean, the Switzerland-based owner and operator of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig that exploded, can't be held liable for Clean Water Act violations yet, Barbier wrote in Wednesday's ruling. The issue has to be determined at trial.
"BP and Anadarko are liable for civil penalties under the act because they are both owners of the offshore facility from which oil discharged," Barbier said.
"There are disputed facts as to whether Transocean meets" the definition of an operator of the offshore facility, Barbier said. "Accordingly, the court cannot resolve this issue on summary judgment."
The Justice Department asked Barbier to find the companies violated the Clean Water Act on the basis of so-called strict liability because they were operators of the doomed project. Strict liability is a legal term for automatic responsibility.
Barbier, who's overseeing much of the spill litigation, has scheduled a nonjury trial to start Monday to determine liability and apportion fault for the disaster. He will also determine whether any defendants were grossly negligent, which would leave the companies subject to enhanced fines under the Clean Water Act.

Cinco de Mayo party food?
I'll be hosting a Cinco de Mayo party at my house next month, and I'm trying to come up with some different ideas for food and drink. It would mostly be snack type food, and not a complete meal. I just would like to stay away from typical choices for a theme like this: tacos, burritos, etc. But variations on those would be helpful too!
Plus, any drink ideas?

Find info concerning Houston Baptist University football team, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches are constantly looking for the best players to fill next year's open positions, and rely on many different methods to finding the right recruits. If you haven't been noticed, cold-calling coaching staff can get you an initial interview. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Houston Baptist University Football information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Houston Baptist University.
You don't have to quarterback the university football team to a state championship to earn an athletic scholarship. Most major sports that field a team in intercollegiate competition have sports scholarships available. From women's gymnastics to men's track and field, coaches are seeking players to build a team around. Further, that leadership role often is accompanied by a full-scholarship.
The best time to begin searching for scholarships is before your senior year, in order to meet deadlines. Schools confirm that it is important to file financial aid forms such as the CSS Profile early in the school year. There are many sports scholarships that focus on less tangible qualities, such as the ability to lead a team, motivate others, and learn new skills rapidly. Take stock of your athletic abilities as you mature through high school. Students must meet specific eligibility requirements each year to participate in Chemeketa Community College baseball camp. Beyond consideration for Houston Baptist University football team, you may think about SIU Carbondale online undergrad courses for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

This Friday, March 12th, local heavy rock band The Unbeheld will unveil a debut full-length recording, In the Arms of Mother Chaos (self-released), with a CD-release party at the Hi-Tone Cafe. Joining them will be emerging locals the Dirty Streets and Little Rock's Iron Tongue.
The Unbeheld is a relatively new group comprised of ex-members of several prominent local metal acts, including Epoch of Unlight, Serapis, and Grandma, but, thankfully, tends to shy away from current trends in heavy/metal music, embracing a more eclectic and adventurous approach to making eardrums bleed. Combining elements of Southern rock, blues, and psychedelia along with black metal, the Unbeheld's brand of heavy music is musically approachable enough for non-metalheads, but still rocks hard enough to deliver the goods for those faithful to the genre.
In the Arms of Mother Chaos, produced by Ardent's Alan Burcham (albeit, not at Ardent), is currently available for pre-order via www.memphishatesyou.com, and should be in local stores and other online retailers after Friday's release show.

TOKYO SHOW UPDATE: Carlos Ghosn's Green-Car push has captured the attention of the people behind the movie, "Who Killed the Electric Car?" They're in-town, following Carlos Ghosn around for the sequel, "Who Saved the Electric Car?" The answer appears to be Nissan, which begins taking "reservations" next spring on the all-electric, 100-mile-range lithium-ion-powered Leaf hatchback. The car is scheduled for import to the U.S. in November 2010, with U.S. Department of Energy-subsidized production in Smyrna, Tennessee, coming on later.Ghosn promises "a fun-to-drive, everyday car that delivers on the promise of zero emissions." Based on a quick drive of a Versa-based Leaf mule yesterday, "fun to drive" means decent off-the-line torque and all the quiet and smoothness we'd expect of an electric appliance on wheels. Nissan's electric cars will be priced competitively with conventional gas-powered cars of similar size, Ghosn promises. Nissan hasn't decided between leases and full sales — the lithium-ion battery packs might be leased separately. Earlier this week, Nissan announced a joint venture with industrial giant Sumitomo to find a second life for the batteries. After they're reduced to 60- or 70-percent capacity, they would be replaced in the Leaf, and the old batteries will find a second life powering stationary objects. The advantage to the buyer is to potential lower the purchase price of the electric car. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Fully affirming Nissan's commitment to alternative powertrains is the Leaf electric car, which Nissan hopes will be the first mass-produced EV in the world. Limited quantities of the quirky hatchback will begin arriving in dealer showrooms in late 2010.Powered by a 90-plus-kilowatt laminated lithium-ion battery pack mounted under the floor, the Leaf has a range of over 100 miles, which is far more than the 60 miles that 80% of drivers globally average per day, according to Nissan. More than that, Nissan says that, thanks to the 207 lb-ft of torque produced by the 80kw (107 hp) electric motor, the Leaf is actually faster to 35 mph than an Infiniti G37 and tops out at 87 mph. The battery pack can be recharged in 8 hours using a standard 110-volt outlet, 4 hours with a 220-volt outlet and even faster with a special, high-voltage quick-charger.To make life easier on the Leaf owner, the car comes with a number of high-tech gizmos that keep you connected to it. An onboard transmitter allows you to remotely check the battery charge, schedule a charge if the vehicle is plugged in and activate the climate control before you get to the vehicle. Optional solar panels in the roof will power fans inside the car to keep the interior temperature down when the car is parked in the sun. Other features include a back-up camera and a program in the navigation that will display the maximum range of the car on the map and highlight recharging stations.Though the Leaf may look more like a concept than a production car, Nissan insists that the concept seen here is 95% of the way to production already. More importantly, the bodywork isn't just different for the sake of being different, it's all functional. In addition to maximum efficiency, another top priority of Nissan's engineers was quietness. The LEAF's quirky bodywork is all entirely functional and designed not only for maximum aerodynamic efficiency but also to cut wind noise to a minimum by channeling the airflow around the car more smoothly.

Posts Tagged 'Gallup'
Nine days to go and there seems to be a palpable sense that Mitt Romney has the momentum to win the Presidential election.
That would be remarkable.
Just consider a few facts:
The Des Moines Register endorsed Mitt Romney, the first Republican endorsement they have given since 1972.
Speaking of 1972, that is the last time a Republican won the state of Minnesota, and yet Obama's campaign just made a big TV purchase there as polls show Romney within the margin of error in the home state of Walter Mondale.
Polls in Florida, North Carolina and Virginia show Romney's lead expanding, making Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado and Nevada pretty darn important for Obama to win. Recent polling in Michigan and Pennsylvania show the race tightening where Obama won each by double digits in 2008.
Gallup's daily Presidential track has Romney +5 for a second day in a row, and shows that Obama has lost 7 points in approval in the last three days.
Now, there is still plenty of time for Mitt Romney and the Republicans to screw it up and lose. But my instinct tells me that if the landscape isn't any worse next Sunday as it is today for Romney, he's likely to win.

In America, the public is more interested in news about the weather than the controversy surrounding New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's staffers and their involvement in lane closures on a bridge in New Jersey.
A new Pew Research study shows that 44 percent of Americans were following the news of the colder-than-normal temperatures, while 28 percent were following stories of the U.S. economy.
The third most important story to Americans is the unemployment debate in Washington, with 19 percent, followed by 18 percent for news of the Christie bridge story.
Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates' critical book on the Obama administration is tied at 11 percent with the Iraqi fighting in Fallujah, rounding up the top topics during the survey, which was conducted Jan. 9-13. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.
Sixty percent of survey respondents pointed out that their opinions of Christie haven't changed after learning about the news about the bridge closing; only 16 percent said that they view Christie less favorably.

(Medical Xpress)—Anesthesiologists now have more direction for treating patients who have broken their hip and are undergoing surgery.
In the first study of its kind, researchers and physicians at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry have identified a type of nerve block that best serves patients who have broken their hip and require surgery.
Saifee Rashiq, with the Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, said that anesthesiologists have long been freezing the nerves of patients just about to undergo surgery in an effort to improve their recovery and decrease pain after the operation. But there are many types of nerve blocks that can be done, and no literature backing which is best.
That's why Rashiq, along with Donna Dryden and Ben Vandermeer in the U of A Evidence-based Practice Center, decided to do what's called a network meta-analysis of previous studies on the subject to rank the best nerve-block techniques.
"The concept is very simple: if I say A is better than the standard of care by 10 and B is better than the standard of care by five, then what's the comparison of A and B?" explains Vandermeer about the network meta-analysis. "We can get all these treatments together, put them in order now from best to worst and approximate how much better each is compared with the others."
"This is important for doctors because some of these nerve blocks are easier to do than others and some are more reliable than others," said Rashiq. "Before you embark on something that's a bit more difficult and more time-consuming, you want to make sure it's actually going to make a difference. In the past people have speculated, well, maybe it's better not to bother doing these because it doesn't make any difference—we've put that to rest."
Two techniques topped the list and both are relatively easy to perform. One emerged as the most likely to reduce post-operative pain, but more important was that the other technique, which takes less than two minutes to perform, reduced the chances of the patient getting delirium, which can be very detrimental to the patient's progress and can sometimes even lead to death.
"One of the problems when you're in severe pain is that we have to load you up with drugs, and that can cause delirium," said Rashiq. "Elderly sick people can't metabolize the drugs as well as younger healthy people can, so the byproducts of the drugs can cause that."
The group says more research needs to be done, including head-to-head trials to compare the methods against each other. But for now, Rashiq says he wants his colleagues in the anesthesiology community to start using one of the top two methods.
"If everybody used these techniques all the time you could make the business of having your hip fixed a lot less unpleasant," he said. "You could probably prevent a large number of people from having delirium, and I'm sure that would save health-care dollars."
The study is published in the Canadian Journal of Anesthesia.

Summer is in full swing, which means that community supported agriculture (CSA) programs are busy providing people with fruits and vegetables that are in season and straight from the farm.
Dwolla is great for food co-ops, CSAs, and farmers' markets. By accepting Dwolla payments, farmers can stop running to the bank to cash checks, while also adding to their bottom line by cutting out the high fees associated with credit cards.
How CSAs can use Dwolla:
- Customers can pay online or with their smartphone via the mobile app (iOS or Android).
- Members can pay for CSA subscriptions by setting up a recurring payment.
- Request payments from customers by simply typing in their email or phone number associated with their Dwolla account.
CSAs and marketplaces such as Plovgh, Annie's Buying Club, Penn's Corner Farm Alliance, Bells Bend Neighborhood Farms, Wabi Sabi Farm, and Featherstone Fruits and Vegetables are all using Dwolla to accept payments. As always, there is no cost to set up an account, with the only fee being 25 cents on transactions over $10 (under $10 is free).
Think your organization can benefit from online payments? Check out Dwolla for CSAs.

Ellen DeGeneres wants you to remember that she's not only the host of the Oscars. She's also a extremely talented actress who's able to go from role to role in a matter of seconds.
The talk show host showed off her versatility by acting out several scenes from Oscar-nominated films like Dreamgirls, Capote, True Grit and 127 Hours on the social media app Vine.
Now she may not come out on top as Best Actress, she certainly deserves an award for trying. After all, her and Neil Patrick Harris REALLY seemed to support each other well in their scenes together.

A Table, Some Tennis, and a Handful of Athletes
Oct 2, 2012, 12:04 PM EST
Notre Dame sent a record number of athletes to the 2012 Summer Olympics. None of those athletes were there for table tennis; however, that all may change in the near future. Monday evening marked the First Annual Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) Table Tennis Tournament. (That's a mouthful.) Athletes from the football, hockey, men's and women's…

Best Weekend Ever?
Sep 16, 2012, 5:05 PM EST
While I'm no sports historian, I think it's safe to assume that Sept. 14-16, 2012, has to be one of the most successful weekends in the history of the Fighting Irish. From cross-country to soccer to football, it feels like Notre Dame has not stopped winning since Friday afternoon. Here's a recap of the highlights:…

Irish Strike Out Cancer (and Syracuse)
Apr 14, 2012, 12:35 PM ESTComments Off on Irish Strike Out Cancer (and Syracuse)
It was all Orange this afternoon at Melissa Cook Stadium. And that's not to say Syracuse got a big victory. In fact, it was Notre Dame that emerged with a 4-3 win in the first game of a BIG EAST conference doubleheader. Orange was the color of the afternoon because Syracuse was decked out in…

After a week of playing in the ocean, flying with beautiful coloured birds and risking our lives with a carnivorous caterpillar, I thought we would end with an even more bizarre animal. You just need to take one look at the Hammer-Headed Bat to realize it will be a fun animal to learn more about. I mean, just look at their head! To catch a glimpse of this megabit, we need to take a quick trip to equatorial Africa where will will find them hanging out around rivers, mangrove swamps, and palm forests. Now let's find out why their head is shaped like a hammer.
That is One Big Nose
Only the male Hammer-Headed Bat is blessed with such a large head, which they use to create incredibly loud honking noises. The large nose, larynx and lips allow the male bat create sounds that are extremely resonant. The females on the other hand have a head that is about 3 times smaller than their male counterparts. In fact, their head looks more like a regular ol' fruit bat. It is funny how the males are always the ones that have to go out of their way to try and impress their female friends.
Pick Me, Pick Me
Competition for female attention is quite fierce in the Hammer-Headed Bat population. Typically, males will all gather together in a group, which can contain as many as 130 individuals, At this point the female will fly over and assess the entire group of males. She will pick her favourite by landing on a branch next to the lucky winner. I guess it is kind of like picking baseball teams when you were a kid…..I feel bad for the last bat that never gets picked, but I guess that is life. He will just need to go back and work on getting an even larger nose for next year.
The Deadly Megabat
The Hammer-Headed Bat is the largest bat in Africa with a wingspan between 686 to 970 mm (2.3 – 3.2 feet). Typically, the males are larger than the females, which makes sense since they need to be able to carry that big head around all day. Although, it may be tempting to go up and pet this large, hammer-headed creature, iyou need to realize that this particular bat species is one of the 3 fruit bats in Africa that carry the Ebola virus, without showing any symptoms. Not only are they huge but they can also be deadly!

From fascinating and artistic youtube videos to creative television adverts, the Google Chrome browser is literally everywhere these days. Google has decided that it will leave no stone unturned in the publicity of the fast and sleek IE-killer and why not, after all its the backbone of the soon to be born Google Chrome OS.
As for the holiday season,the search giant has come up with a new breathtaking site which allows people to give the gift of Chrome.
The Chrome for Christmas site allows users to send greeting cards to their loved ones(or even strangers) with a gift i.e the Google Chrome Pokeball neatly wrapped in artistic designs to be chosen by the sender.
The sender can attach a photo and a video too along with a short message. The receiver gets a link which shows the Google Chrome logo popping out of the gift wrap in a funky way leading to a link to download Google Chrome.
This campaign is definitely avant-garde as far as browser publicity is concerned which itself might give the browser a lot of attention. There is also the plain old,Give the gift of Chrome site which allows users to gift chrome 365-days a year.
So,if you haven't found the perfect Christmas gift yet, why not give the gift of Chrome to the frustrated IE users?

WISCONSIN NEWS ROUND-UP: Residential property values rise in Wisconsin
The value of residential property in Wisconsin rose by two-and-a-half-percent last year, ending a five-year stretch of losses dating back to the national housing market collapse.
Homes and other residences gained more than eight-billion dollars in equalized value between January 1st, 2013, and January 1st of this year. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue released its report Friday. Increasing home sales prices were the main driver of the improving. Residential property values in Milwaukee were down by two-percent. Commercial property and manufacturing businesses showed gains during the same period statewide.
Cook County, Ill. prosecutors say 15-year-old Denzel Burke was urged on by an adult gang member and at least one friend. When the Chicago teenager shot at a gang rival, he hit photographer William Lewis of Wisconsin. Burke and 17-year-old Michael Phillips were arrested in Racine. Lewis suffered a fatal wound while he waited at a bus stop July 12th. Both teenagers are charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder. Eric Vaughn is accused of supplying the murder weapon and driving a getaway car. He is also charged with first-degree murder.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials are reportedly look for the person who shot an osprey and a barred owl in Bayfield County in recent weeks. Both species are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The adult male osprey had to be euthanized. It was found to be the father of two chicks found a few days later. One of them jumped from its nest and was hit by a vehicle. The mother's body was also found and it appears she was shot, too. The federal agency is hoping it gets some help from the public in identifying the shooter. The surviving chick will eventually be put in a nest with other chicks.
A 32-year-old Wisconsin man has entered a guilty plea to charges he illegally harvested wildlife pelts in Mississippi. Peter Jesunas has been fined $10,000 and has been banned from any trapping for three years. He came to Mississippi two years ago to trap even though he had been barred from buying a license due to previous offenses. The federal agents say he collected 354 pelts, which he was ordered to forfeit.
Wisconsin law enforcement officials are looking for a man who robbed a bank in Weston. Investigators say they are analyzing a note left by the suspect at the Intercity State Bank Friday morning. Although the robber implied he had a weapon, one was never shown. He reportedly got away with an undisclosed amount of cash. Weston police say it isn't clear if he left the scene on foot and used a vehicle to get away.
U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-Oshkosh) was challenged and he came through. As part of a fundraising effort for ALS – Lou Gehrig's disease – Johnson poured ice-cold water over his head in the Utah mountains, where he is camping. He had been challenged by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Johnson tweeted a photo of the act yesterday. In that same tweet, Johnson challenges three radio talk-show hosts. Word is, Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Janesville) wrote a check.

THE High Court in Suva told a man jointly charged with aggravated robbery that he does not need to be in court until his lawyer was present.
Alipate Lesi is charged alongside Sitiveni Tuisamoa, Samuela Beeby and Peni Tuilaselase for an alleged robbery in Nakasi two years ago.
Justice Salesi Temo told Mr Lesi that for the fairness of justice and equality, he was excused until his lawyer was fit to come to court.
The court was informed the defence counsel had been sick and would be fit to start the month-long trial today.
Justice Temo excused the counsel's presence and told Mr Lesi the voir dire involving his challenge on the alleged confession would start once his lawyer came to court.
The four men have challenged the alleged confessions in the caution interview.
Although represented by different counsels, the four stated the alleged confession was derived forcefully.

STARS Restaurant! Ratings and Reviews
The scallops were bland. Lobster was good but close to average. Wine list was a B+ with some good price/value bottles and some outrageously over priced ones. Service was earnest but amateurish. The view is excellent. I believe this restaurant relies on its past laurels. We have had better meals here in years gone by.
Initially treated as a third rate customer, guessing we just were not a recognized customer on the haute client list
The Open Table reservation apparently did not help us reserve one the many window view tables - but after asked we did get to move ..... of course service after that was poor at best
Fabulous dining experience! We were seated directly in front of a huge bay window overlooking beautiful landscaping and the ocean across the street. The service was top notch and the food was delicious. Jody Adams is the guest chef all summer and the menu is fabulous. We got the grilled oysters with deviled eggs followed by the poached lobster. Also had the blueberry gimlet cocktail- very refreshing!! Quite expensive, but a worthwhile splurge!
Very good, but...
For the price, I would expect exceptional. The food was close to exceptional, the service seemed more fussy than exceptional (the servers seemed to be young and inexperienced; so they didn't have the relaxed air that experience and thorough competence brings), and their were some details that were not very well-addressed. The dining room is gorgeous, and the view is gorgeous. So I wouldn't steer anyone away from Stars....I just can't rave about it and urge people to go. There are other restaurants nearby that I would recommend more highly...
Wonderful dining experience! The food was delicious, the staff extra attentive and friendly, and the dining room is beautiful. Chef Jody Adams came out to chat and see how we liked everything. Afterwards we sat outside, listening to the music while having a drink and enjoying the water views. We live on the Cape and Stars is one of our favorite restaurants!
We were very disappointed in most every area but especially the food and the value. We arrived early and it was a beautiful evening in Chatham to celebrate a birthday of one of our guests but from the start the service was just ok and the dishes we ordered were disappointing. A rib eye steak for 2 - the only beef choice on the menu at $150. --yielded small portions and had to be sent back for additional cooking to reach medium. The clam chowder was not really soup but a mixture poured over some clams in their shell. The bass and the scallops were good but very small portions for a dinner meal and arrived without accompanying vegetables or a side dish. I really love dressing up and going out to a grand hotel like this so I was looking forward to it. In particular I have been to Stars and Chatham Bars Inn many times and suggested it for this birthday dinner so I was disappointed and embarrassed that it did not work out. I won't go back anytime soon, if ever.
Although the staff seemed surprise that we had a reservation when we arrrived, all worked out fine. They did know it was our anniversary. The 18oz steak was bone in, so at $150 you were not eating 18oz of meat. Fish was fresh and most likely local. Plenty of staff available, although drink service was very slow.
We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Creamy garlic soup was a delight and exquisitely served. My husband remarked on the freshness of the salad straight from the farm. The NY sirloin was perfect in temperature and had an inviting presentation. My lobster entree was a pleasure to my eyes and palate. We just loved it!
We recommend the apple dessert as well as the chocolate lava cake.
Cocktails, wine, and cordials were of the best quality.
Thank you Travis for your exceptional service! We plan to return to this fine restaurant soon.
Terrific meal experience despite the steak cart (bring that back) being discontinued. Service(Alex) was truly outstanding - friendly, courteous, outgoing, gastric knowledgable and very professional. Entire staff was great. Sirloin wonderful and wife's scallops cooked to perfection; along with very accomadating for diet restrictions too. Great location for a special meal in a wonderful location.
This is the third dinner we have had at Stars, but the first since its change from a steak house. The results were mixed for us. My meal (Salmon) was very good and my dessert (Sorbet) was great also. My wife who had her heart set on steak, ordered the Sirloin and was disappointed. Her steak was a bit tough and there was nothing else on the plate other than two tiny potatoes and vegetables. Her dessert was also a bit dry and although listed as cake was delivered as a cupcake.
Wine list was great as always, service has been better in the past but still above average.
I think this restaurant is still transitioning away from its steakhouse past, its not there yet, but I hope it continues to improve to get back to the level we enjoyed when it was a steakhouse.
The service was terrible. The hostess had to ,finally send a waiter to our table. He never cam back.
My wife ordered a glass of wine from the hostess.
Worse than the service was the food. I ordered the veal chop and it was at least 80% fat. I told the hostess it was a disgrace. The saddest part was my daughter call Stars and paid the bill as a gift to us. My wife had scallops ,five only and nothing with it. Never again
I had heard some mixed reviews about the food - the Inn and restaurant are lovely. Every amenity is cared for, the staff from the parking valet to the waitstaff is outstanding and the food, well any reservations about the food were baseless. The food is excellent - presented beautifully and very delicious. All in all it was a wonderful experience and we will be sure to return.

LONDON -- Prince Bandar bin Sultan, a member of Saudi Arabia's royal family and the kingdom's former ambassador to the United States, pocketed about $2 billion in secret payments as part of an $80 billion arms deal between Britain and Saudi Arabia first signed in 1985, British media reported yesterday.
The reports revived questions about the British government's decision in December to drop a fraud investigation into the deal, which has been plagued by allegations of bribes and secret slush funds for almost two decades.
In remarks yesterday, Prime Minister Tony Blair did not comment directly on the reports made on the BBC and in the Guardian newspaper. But he repeated his often-made defense of the decision to drop the investigation on national security grounds.
"This investigation, if it had it gone ahead, would have involved the most serious allegations in investigations being made into the Saudi royal family," Blair said at a meeting of the Group of Eight nations in Germany.
He added that, "My job is to give advice as to whether that is a sensible thing in circumstances where I don't believe the investigation incidentally would have led anywhere except to the complete wreckage of a vital strategic relationship for our country. . . . Quite apart from the fact that we would have lost thousands, thousands of British jobs."
Prince Bandar declined to comment, according to the news outlets.

TCSP AMPR BRIGHTNESS TEMPERATURE (TB) V2Entry ID: tcspampr
Abstract: The Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) remotely senses passive microwave signatures of geophysical parameters from an airborne platform. The instrument is a low noise system which can provide multi-frequency microwave imagery with high spatial and temporal resolution. AMPR data are collected at a combination of frequencies (10.7, 19.35, 37.1, and 85.5 GHz) unique to current NASA aircraft instrumentation. These frequencies are well suited to the study of rain cloud systems, but are also useful to studies of various ocean and land surface processes. AMPR data were collected at four microwave frequencies (10.7, 19.35, 37.1 and 85.5 GHz) for the period of 06-18-2005 through 07-28-2005.
