PRANIC HEALING is a highly developed and tested system of energy based healing techniques that utilizes "prana" to balance, harmonize and transform the body's energy processes. "Prana" is a Sanskrit word that means "life-force". This invisible bio-energy or vital energy keeps the body alive and maintains a state of good health. In acupuncture, the Chinese refer to this subtle energy as "Chi". It is also called "Ruah" or the "Breath of Life" in the Old Testament.
Founder of Modern Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga, Grand Master Choa Kok Sui is credited with the development of an energy healing system using more effectively and efficiently prana or ki, which is the life force that keeps the body alive. Albeit a trained Chemical Engineer and successful businessman, he spent more than 30 years researching and studying literature and books on esoteric sciences, examining and sorting through their various healing techniques, and eventually developing the concepts, principles, techniques, and practical applications of Pranic Healing as it is widely known today .
Modern Pranic Healing as a science was finally born in late 1987, with the publication of Master Choa Kok Sui's book, The Ancient Science and Art of Pranic Healing ), which has since been translated into more than 30 languages and distributed in over 40 countries, veritably serving as an introduction for thousands to the science and art of Modern Pranic Healing.
Master Choa Kok Sui later founded the Institute for Inner Studies and the World Pranic Healing Foundation, Inc., and went on to author 20 more books on Pranic Healing and spirituality , before his passing in March 19, 2007.
Pranic Healing is a simple yet powerful and effective no-touch energy healing. It is based on the fundamental principle that the body is a "self-repairing" living entity that possesses the innate ability to heal itself. PRANIC HEALING works on the principle that the healing process is accelerated by increasing the life force or vital energy on the affected part of the physical body PRANIC HEALING influences this natural life force to bring about a healthier physical body. PRANIC HEALING is applied on the bio-electromagnetic field known as the aura, which contains the mould and blueprint of the physical body. This bioplasmic body absorbs life energy and distributes it to the organs and glands. Scientific evidence provides tangible proof of the existence of the energy body and its relation to the health and well-being of the physical body. This has been termed as the "bioplasmic body" from the word "bio" meaning life, and "plasma", the forth state of matter after solids, liquids and gases. Scientific experiments conducted by the eminent Russian scientists using ultrasensitive photographic process showed a colorful, radiant energy field surrounding the physical bodies of humans, animals and plants. This energy field, or aura, interpenetrates the visible physical body, extending about 4 to 5 inches from the skin's surface Diseases first appear as energetic disruptions in the energy field before manifesting as ailments in the physical body
In the palm of your hands are energy centers called chakras. Through a simple exercise, these chakras will be activated. Once activated, these chakras will become sensitive to feeling others' energy. You can scan that energy field to locate blockages and be able to cleanse, energize and revitalize the area with new prana. You will also learn techniques to stop the drain of energy on your body that many health practitioners experience while working on others. You will actually energize yourself while your are healing someone else!
Scanning is a process of using and developing your hands and subtle senses to energetically scan the aura of a person to detect any imbalances such as weakness, tear or congested energies within the auric field or a chakra of a person. This gives the pranic healer an insight as to what may need to be done energetically for the person.
Cleansing is a process of removing and clearing energetically areas of the subtle energy fields that are congested that maybe dis-eased or disharmonious patterns within the auric field of the person. This allows new or healing energies to fill the areas of the energy bodies or chakras assisting the process of healing.
Energizing is a process of focusing energies into a particular area where it maybe weak that an increased amount of subtle energies can assist the healing process or balancing of the subtle energy fields. e.g. Energizing the base chakra which is associated to physical vitality can attribute to the effect of a stronger physical health.
PRANIC HEALING is currently being taught to doctors, nurses, massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, the clergy, homemakers, engineers and many others in all walks of life. It has allowed them to heal confidently and consistently in the shortest learning time possible. They find PRANIC HEALING very effective and easy to apply. PRANIC HEALING procedures are simple and easy to learn. However, behind the simplicity is a sophisticated technology that is without a doubt one of the best, if not the best, among all publicly known and disseminated alternative healing arts. . The Pranic Healing workshop also teaches a meditation called the "Meditation on Twin Hearts", Basic Pranayama (how to breathe properly!), teachings on the Law or Karma and character building, techniques to heal oneself and how to heal people at a distance.
This is an experiential workshop. During class time, all the principles will be explained thoroughly and the techniques practiced exhaustively so you will be confident in your ability to produce positive results when you finish the course. Join thousands who have developed the ability to heal a wide range of common health and emotional problems using this safe and effective method of energy healing. Unleash you natural ability to heal with Pranic Healing.
Kindly make use of this opportunity to learn this wonderful art and scientific technology called Pranic Healing.
Examples of Problems (other than Health related) that were miraculously healed by applying PH principles by various people:
There are many exciting applications of pranic healing such as the advanced level of "Pranic Psychotherapy" where the relationships between the chakras and mental attitudes or the psychological state of the person can be accessed and shifted to heal psychological aspects of a person. Others areas such as "Pranic Crystal Healing" using crystals to amplify healing energies or intent and Pranic "Face-Lift" which is a natural way of increasing wellness of your physical appearance, can be of great value to improve the many aspects of living.

Kidney stones are pieces of a stone or crystal-like material. These stones form inside the kidneys or other parts of the urinary tract. The kidneys remove waste from the body. They also balance the water and electrolyte content in the blood by filtering salt and water.
There are several types of kidney stones:

The cause of your kidney stone may be depend on the type of stone that you have. Calcium stones are the most common type.
Factors that may increase your chance of kidney stones include:
Other factors that increase your risk of kidney stones include:
Calcium oxalate or phosphorus stones:
Struvite stones:
Uric acid stones:
A rare genetic disorder increases the risk of cystine stones.
In many people, kidney stones do not cause symptoms and pass during urination. Other people may have symptoms, including:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
Images may be taken of your kidneys and urinary system. This can be done with:
Treatment depends on the size and location of the kidney stone. Treatment may include one or more of the following:
For small kidney stones, drinking at least 2-3 quarts of water per day helps the body pass the stones during urination. You may be given a special cup to catch the stone when it passes so it can be analyzed. If you are having a hard time keeping fluids down, you may need to be hospitalized to receive IV fluids.
You may be advised to take pain medication. You may also be prescribed medications that may help you pass your kidney stones during urination.
Surgery may be needed if the stones are:
Ureteroscopy uses a small camera to locate the stones located in the ureter or kidney. Once found, a small basket is used to capture and remove the stones. Larger stones can be broken up into small pieces with a laser.
PNL is used to treat large stones located in the kidney. A small incision is made in the lower back. A nephroscope is passed through a tube so the kidney stones can be seen. The stones are broken into smaller pieces and removed. A temporary drain may be left in the incision site.
Lithotomy is an open surgery used to remove stones. This is rarely used because of the less invasive options available.
ESWL uses a device called a lithotripter that is applied to the skin. The lithotripter sends shock waves into the body. The impact of the shock waves breaks up the larger stones so they can be passed during urination.

What was the first thing you did when you were diagnosed?
I was terrified. I don't remember being that scared in my life. It was a horrifying moment for me. I fell, cried hysterically. It took a long time for me to recover from that news.
Where were you when you found out?
I was at the nurse's office. They called me just a few weeks after they took my blood work and other tests for the prenatal visit. They called me before my appointment date and told me that I needed to go in to the office. Still, that was the last thing I was expecting to hear. They told me, and of course, one of the first questions I asked the nurse was, "Is my child going to be okay? What will happen to my baby?"
I was worried a lot about her well-being, and they told me that, here in this country, we have treatment available. You will start right away, you're not going to die -- I kept saying that I was going to die, I was going to die, because that's what I know happens when you get diagnosed in my country. They just die so quickly. I didn't even think I would stay alive to see my daughter growing, so I was crying for that reason, too. They said, "We're going to put you on the medicine to protect the baby from getting it. The baby's going to be born healthy, hopefully, and you will be okay, too, because we'll run more tests for you. You'll be fine!" I had to see that happening for me to believe that.
How did you cope? How did you get from being overwrought with anxiety to becoming an activist and being at peace?
It wasn't an easy road. If it wasn't for the great group of professionals who were providing counseling for me, I don't know what I'd do! ... I did promise my doctor that I will do everything that I'm supposed to to make sure I'm okay, and to make sure the baby's okay. I didn't miss a dosage of medicine that they gave me for the baby. I went to the counseling, I was receiving every service that I could to make sure that I'm surviving. I had days when I would just stay home and cry all day, but then after talking to different people, I remember going to my first support group.
There I found people who had lived with this disease for 10, 20 years. A group of women. I was amazed how healthy they looked, how beautiful they looked, how positive-spirited they were. I think it's the combination of those professionals and the people that I saw that lived with this disease for a long time that slowly had an effect on how positive I became.
I really felt like everyone was just trying to make me feel better. Later you meet the actual people, and you think, "Oh, yeah, they do live longer, and this is it. Maybe I can make it like this person made it." I met some women whose children graduated from high school, and they were [diagnosed] while they were pregnant with [those children], same situation like my daughter. So that encourages you more than any other material can do.
I ask questions. I'm a very curious patient. The doctors or people who have worked with me know this. I always ask questions, because then I reduce my level of anxiety. When I get answers, when I know, when I educate myself, I worry less. It didn't happen overnight. But I think that that's why, right now, I am working on helping other people. As far as the hope and being encouraged, it happened faster when I met somebody, an actual person who went through what I'm going through. When I met the person and looked at them, the level of encouragement happened faster than if somebody or my doctor's just telling me, "You'll be okay."
Do you remember who the first person was that you told, after you were diagnosed?
It was a friend of me and the father of my daughter, who had escorted us to the doctor's office. I remember panicking and after I got myself off the floor, I ran outside where the father of my child was sitting with his friend. I just screamed, "I have AIDS, I have AIDS, oh my god, I'm going to die, I'm scared!"
I think I kind of went [laughs] a little over the top, compared to some people I've met where they're a bit more quiet. That explains how the devastation is in Africa, as far as death. I just saw death when I heard that. That's how I reacted.
After that, I was disclosing this news to my family one at a time. I had to recover first, before I had the nerve to tell somebody. Not easy. Some people, it took years for me to tell them, because you always worry how the person is going to react. Is your relationship to the person going to be the same, or are they going to be scared of you? Are they going to treat you differently? But my family had always stayed positive with me, and very encouraging.
What was the reaction of your friend and your partner when you told them?
They were shocked, of course. The friend of ours' eyes were big, and [he said], "Oh my gosh, this is a tragedy; oh my gosh, this is not happening!" And my ex (now) was crying all over the place. We hugged each other and cried.
We had so many questions about me and the baby. We just wanted to know what's going to happen next. We went home thinking, maybe it's our last days. Even though they told us we were going to be okay, we still thought we were so close to dying. I'm living proof now that there's life after diagnosis. There's life, you just have to do the right things, hang out with the right people who are positive to you, stay away from people who would make you feel down. I have done that over the years.
There are some people who are not very nice, who are very judgmental, especially with the stigma going on. So I took myself away from that group of people, and stuck around people who would support me emotionally and physically, so that I can be okay.
HIV, Health Care and Treatment
Do you remember what your first CD4 and viral load were?
For the first six years, they said, other than the bad news of HIV, your counts are pretty good! Your immune system is at the level of a normal, healthy person. My CD4 count was 1,500, and my viral load had been undetectable for six years. I was in pretty good shape.
The good news is my early diagnosis. That's what they told me. It's early enough that you'll stay in care, you keep being tested every four months, and we're going to monitor you and make sure that when you're in the level where you need to start treatment, we'll know. I did just that, I never stopped being in care.
What are your CD4 count and viral load now?
Now it's dropped to the upper 300s, which is still okay, but it's not the best CD4 count, either. My doctor and I are thinking of considering some treatment options, but I'm still getting monitored. My viral load hasn't duplicated too much. [Since this interview, Fortunata began HIV treatment and her viral load is now undetectable.]
That's another thing that I want to tell people: Don't let what happens in your life have an effect on your immune system. Even though there's so much evidence of different things that can suppress the immune system, including the disease itself, what happened to me for the past few years is evidence that what happens around you can have an effect on your immune system.
I can see exactly in which time frame my CD4 count started dropping because of stress and sadness and all these other issues. I lost my father, I lost my ex, and being away from my family back in Africa -- stress that even people who aren't positive have. As a life stress, it would take a toll on anybody. I'm still working on that to make sure it doesn't put me down.
Have you ever been sick?
No, not HIV-related. I eat right, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs. I try my best. If I ever get sick, I don't want to look over my shoulder and say, "I did this, I did that." I want to do everything, I want to be there for my baby, I want to see her graduate from school. I want to be around, and hopefully live long enough that maybe I will go back home one day. I've got to stay alive for that.
What would you say was the most challenging thing about being pregnant and being positive?
For me, because I wasn't very aware of the disease, there was so much information I had to learn. It was a learning process. Also, I had to deal with not knowing if my child was going to be born positive or negative. Even though there was a good chance of her being born without the disease, still there was a small chance of her being born positive. With that chance not being eliminated, it bothered me a lot. I know exactly how it feels to be HIV positive and pregnant, and to worry to death about your unborn child. It tortured me a lot. I had thoughts of, "Am I really going to be okay? Am I going to be well enough to take care of her when she's born?"
To make sure you stick with your medicine regimen. I'd already promised myself not to get my child sick, so I stayed on the medicine 100 percent. I was waking up in the night to take the pills. I had to take the medicine. That was kind of challenging, too. The fact that this child probably saved my life, because I was so depressed to the point of thinking of suicide. That was the thought that I had at that time. I said, "Well, then I'm not going to do anything to myself, because I have this baby." That was a good reason for me to take care of myself, that I'm carrying somebody else. I really think that people who don't have babies, who aren't pregnant, and they just get this news, they should really try to talk to people -- the right people -- and get some help. It can get terrifying.

She explains, "I use my background as a chef and specialty-food buyer to hunt down and evaluate great products that are truly the best in their class. I'll only choose a product if it tells a story — about where it's from, who makes it, and why it's so delicious that it makes me run to my kitchen to cook."
Her site is full of great recipes, beautiful photographs, and top-quality products. There's also a feature that allows shoppers to search within their region for the best seafood, meat, cheese, vegetables, pantry items, desserts, and main dishes.

6. Bobby Wagner is the NFL's most underrated rookie: I brought up this point on Twitter, too (shameless plug: @ChrisBurke_SI), but it's worth repeating. Wagner has been very solid early for Seattle and had his best game Sunday, recording five tackles and two sacks. He's extremely quick to the football — he made multiple plays against Carolina by chasing the ball to the boundary.

January Art Challenge
Since Elfy decided to take a hiatus from the art challenge, I thought I might offer one up and see who is up to the challenge. January gets its name from Janus, the Roman God of doors. It represents the walking through the door of the last year into the new year. To the Romans, Janus was celebrated for his dual nature and was pictured with two faces. For this challenge take a character from either the comics, from Freedom City/Emerald City, or even one of your own, and reverse his alignment. If he's normally a hero, make him a villain. If she's normally a villain, make her a hero. How would their costume change? Have fun with it.

Yale University Press has announced the winner of the 2013 Yale Series of Younger Poets prize. Given annually since 1919 to a poet under the age of forty, the prize is the oldest literary award in the United States.
Eryn Green of Denver received the 2013 prize for his collection, Eruv, which will be published by Yale University Press in April 2014. Judge Carl Phillips says that the winning work "reminds us how essential wilderness is to poetry—a wilderness in terms of how form and language both reinvent and get reinvented; meanwhile, the sensibility behind these poems points to another wilderness, the one that equals thinking about and feeling the world—its hurts, its joys—deeply and unabashedly, as we pass through it."
Eryn Green is a doctoral candidate at the University of Denver and received an MFA from the University of Utah. His work has appeared in Jubilat, Colorado Review, Painted Bride Quarterly, and elsewhere. In addition to the publication of his book, he will also receive one of five writing fellowships offered at The James Merrill House in Stonington, Connecticut.
Green's book will be the 108th volume in the Younger Poet series. Will Schutt's Westerly, also chosen by Phillips, received the 2012 prize, and will be published in April. Past winners have included John Ashbery, Jack Gilbert, Robert Hass, Adrienne Rich, and Jean Valentine.
Submissions for the 2014 prize will open this fall. Visit the website for more information and complete guidelines.

I exercise extreme caution on running research machines. For example, my older clusters have both g98 and g03 installed. This is done to avoid differences possible between the different versions in long running projects. Researchers have the choice of which versions they will use. In general I do the same thing with Gammess, BLAST etc. I will install a new version rather than immediately upgrade an existing version if there is no specific need to do so. > > As you observe, ultimately this comes down to good communications and > core competence among ALL people with root-level access for ANY LAN > operation (not just cluster computing -- you can do the exact same thing > in any old LAN).

There are certainly good resons for individual images. If people like Joe, and Greg and Jim are making those images I feel pretty good about it. One way that we resolve this issue is with a technology refresh rate that attempts to upgrade the computational infrastructure on a 3 year cycle. For example, 2 years ago we purchased a 64p xeon cluster. Last year we cooperated with Physics researchers to purchase a 200p Opteron Cluster. This year we are bringing up a 100p addition to the Opterons. Next year, we will add ~300 processors and begin the retirement of the original 64p xeon cluster. But we will still have gone from 64 to 600 processors over that three year period. > At a guess, Really Big Clusters -- ones big enough to have a full time > administrator or even an administrative group -- are going to strongly > favor topdown fascist adminstration as there are clear lines of > responsibility and a high "cost" of downtime.

I meet with researchers, PI's and postdocs almost daily. Part of that is simple outreach. Showing people the new capabilities that we have and the performance improvements that they can expect. Part of it is building the trust that is necessary to build the kind of cooperation that helps the Institution. The "high cost" of downtime is very real. Unexpected downtime will bring calls to the Provost. I work to minimize that unexpected downtime. And, its not easy. Last week an issue with an upgrade to the University backbone cost one of my subnets external communication for 16 hours. There was no affect on running jobs, but no way for users to login between 6pm and 10am. That's not good. The network change notification specified intermittent short outages as the upgrade progressed. Not a complete loss of comm for 16 hours. When the subnet had been down for 3 hours, I began emailing users to let them know the situation and what was being done to correct it. Two clusters reside on that one subnet. Other clusters including our opterons were not effected. But there is no doubt that we must all communicate and cooperate to make things work in bother the big and small pictures. Mike Davis

The Sensor Head
Related: PR2 Sensor Head Design Gallery
Although we are an open company, we've held some secrets back: we've tried to keep the appearance of the final PR2 robot under wraps. Part of that is because we are still tweaking some details and don't want to confuse people with non-final renderings, but part of it is also so that it will be a fun surprise when the first PR2 beta robots roll off the line. Last week we started selecting the colors for the PR2 beta robots, so it's fair to say that the design process is coming to close and we have a better idea of what the robot will look like.
While we won't fully divulge what the final robot design (we like our surprises), we let the cat partly out of the bag with some photos that have been going out to media publications. It's only fair to share those here with you and also talk about some of the new details that you see. The photo above is still a PR2 alpha prototype, but regular visitors may be wondering what that row of six lenses is. That's a mockup of our sensor head that will be shipping with the PR2 beta robots.
Our PR2 alpha robots have not had a sensor head design. Instead, the PR2 alpha head is just a grid of bolt holes that have allowed our researchers to experiment with different sensors in order to determine what will ship with the PR2 beta robot. This has meant that the PR2 alpha robots have been a bit more "rugged" looking -- we've referred to one of the robots as the "Mad Max" robot because it looks like it's been stealing sensors off of other robots. Our first two milestones stressed the sensing capabilities of the robot and have given us time to develop our own sensors to support bleeding-edge perception research.
With a Hokuyo UTM laser on the base, a tilting Hokuyo UTM just below the head, and two wide-angle cameras in the forearms, it was up to the sensor head to fill out our remaining sensing needs. We knew we would need stereo cameras to support algorithms like Visual SLAM as well as finding door handles, plugs, and other objects. We would also need a camera that could provide higher resolution images. After testing various high-resolution cameras, we settled on 5-megapixel Prosilica cameras for their simplicity, global shutter and resolution. For stereo, we settled on two stereo cameras: one color and one mono. The mono camera's 1-2ms exposure is synced with the LED light projector that projects a static pattern, providing the stereo camera with improved texture for feature matching to give you much better 3D data from the camera. The rest of the cameras are 'anti-synced' so the pattern does not show up in their images. The LED pattern projector was developed in-house and works in combination with the mono stereo camera to give back high-quality 3D shapes. This will be critical as researchers use the PR2 to manipulate objects on tables.
For the physical design of the sensor head, we consulted with a broad range of people. Our researchers gave us feedback on various mounting options for the final sensor head, which mainly boiled down to, "More bolt pattern!" We considered a wide range of sensor arrangements, some of which we included below, and we worked with a color expert to see how color and shapes affected how the sensors were perceived. We also conducted surveys on Mechanical Turk to understand how others would react to them and consulted the human-robot interaction design literature, where we learned that robot heads that are wider than they are tall are perceived as being less human-like. This helped us to rule out tall head designs that would encourage unreasonable human-like expectations of PR2.
More: PR2 Sensor Head Design Gallery
Our designs converged on the layout with the four stereo camera lenses combined into a single unit in the middle and the two larger lenses on the outside. We finally moved the stereo camera lenses lower than the others after seeking some inspiration from the Mini Cooper headlight designs, which are both mechanical and approachable. The problem with this layout is that this combined stereo camera didn't exist. A custom stereo camera was developed with Videre Designs to adapt existing designs into a new combined sensor that interleaves the mono and color cameras in a single package.
We sent all this feedback to our industrial designer who was able to take these broad range of requirements and distill them into a cohesive design. We worked through several iterations of sketches, which led to CAD models, which then led to this foam mockup, where we tested how faceplates would affect the appearance of the robot. The mockups are important as sketches and 3D renderings have trouble capturing what something looks like in person.
Based on this foam mockup, we made some more modifications and produced the mockup you see in the first photo. Orders are now being placed for the real parts and we're looking forward to seeing the final product. As you can see, there's still plenty of bolt-hole pattern so you can continue to do the same sort of research we did in finding the best sensors for the job.

Thanks for the question. The cameras serve different purposes -- the color is wide-angle. The mono is narrow-angle and is used in conjunction with a red pattern projector (hence, no need for color).

CHICAGO – Zero. Less than zero even, if that's possible.
Kobe Bryant didn't delve into negative numbers Monday night in a hallway at United Center, but that's the level of doubt he felt about his next return from injury. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar, out since Dec. 17 with a fracture in his left knee, didn't hedge or blink when asked about the likelihood that he'll come back as the player he was before.
Not just before this latest setback but before the left Achilles-tendon blowout he suffered in April, cutting short his 2012-13 season.
"Zero. Zero," Bryant said, repeating for emphasis his doubt about his playing future and the quality of his game when he gets there. "There was [doubt] before I came back the first time, because I didn't know how my Achilles was going to respond to playing, to changing directions. The game in Memphis, I felt I had a pretty good feel for it. I felt like I was getting back to doing what I normally could do.
"So I feel pretty confident about it."
Bryant fast-tracked his return from the Achilles injury, missing the first six weeks of 2013-14 rather than several months. He came back Dec. 8 against Toronto and lasted six games. Bryant scored 20 points three times and had his minutes up to 32 per night when his left knee gave out.
The timetable now is for Bryant, 35, to be examined again after the Lakers' current seven-game "Grammy" trip. While some — including Lakers legend Magic Johnson — have suggested Bryant sit out the balance of the season for either his own recovery or to boost the team's lottery odds, Bryant made it sound like a February return, before or after All-Star weekend, is inevitable.
This media opportunity, coming in Derrick Rose's gym, meant he was asked about the Bulls' MVP, who also is sidelined by his second serious injury in two years (and isn't expected back till October). While Bryant's response dealt with Rose, it surely applied to him as well, a nod to the drive and will he long has been known for and the younger Rose still is developing.
"Really there's not too much you can do about it," Bryant said. "It's unfortunate, but you have two options. One is to lay down. The second is get up and get to work. I think the second one is more appealing [to Rose] for sure."
Bryant touched on a number of things in his state-of-the-Mamba address, including the Lakers' other injuries, their midseason status (16-25 prior to tipoff) and the state of the league. Among the topics:
- He made it abundantly clear that he won't be joining Team USA in the 2016 Olympics, but teased that he'd be an eager spectator to watch Lakers teammate Pau Gasol play for Spain again.
- The most noticeable change in NBA basketball since his arrival in 1996? "It's more of a finesse game. It's more small ball. Which, personally, I don't really care much for," Bryant said. Like so many from the old-school – even at 35, Bryant qualifies – he is befuddled at the soft stuff now that passes for physical play. "Makes me nauseous," he said. "You can't touch a guy."
- The rule against hand-checking has made it easier for players to shine offensively, Bryant said. "Nowadays, anybody can get out there and get to the basket – you can't touch 'em," he said. "Back then, if you have guys putting their hands on you, you have to have the skills to be able to go both ways, change directions, post up and have that mid-range game, because you didn't want to go all the way to the basket because you'd get knocked [down]."
- He's no fan of the NBA's one-and-done arrangement with NCAA basketball, which no longer permits players such as Bryant, Kevin Garnett and LeBron James to turn pro immediately after high school. "I think it worked out pretty well for all three of us," Bryant said. "The system really isn't teaching players anything when you go to college. … I'm always a firm believer in us being able to make our own decision."
Bryant spoke in a hallway adorned with a floor-to-ceiling Michael Jordan photo, in an arena that Jordan and the Bulls' championship teams of the 1990s built, with Jordan's bronze likeness outside, the spark for what has become a sports statue craze across America. Many see him as Jordan's successor, bracketed between Grant Hill's injury-derailed superstardom and what still is James at full strength, yet the most Michael-like of them all.
The NBA timeline has pulsed with an informal passing-of-the-torch from Elgin Baylor and Oscar Robertson to Julius Erving, to Larry Bird and Johnson, to Jordan, Bryant, James and beyond.
Asked about that, Bryant said he saw time's passage and the game's history differently.
"I've never looked at is as torches being passed," he said. "As a kid growing up, I always looked at it as these athletes representing different things. So what Magic represented to the game, what Bird represented to the game, was different from what Michael represents.
"It's not the same torch. They're picking up their own thing and carrying their own generation."

Workshops and Trainings
Pollution Prevention and Lean Principles Workshops
Our workshops will give you strategies on how to improve efficiency while decreasing or eliminating pollution. Experts in pollution prevention, environmental management systems (EMS), environmental regulations, and energy efficiency conduct an interactive workshop with classroom exercises that will help you use P2 strategies to improve your bottom line.
Past participants saved more than $1.3 million dollars, and reduced over 650,000 pounds of hazardous waste, conserving a million gallons of water and reducing energy use; participants reported these benefits led to a more productive, profitable and clean operation. This course is good for large and small businesses. It should be taken by managers, EHS professionals, facility managers, purchasing officers or anyone involved in production of a product or service.
The courses offered in Texas are in partnership with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Instructors come from both organizations. The course's framework is based on the Texas Waste Reduction Policy Act (WRPA) which requires Pollution Prevention (P2) planning for facilities that are a Large Quantity Generator, or Small Quantity Generator of hazardous waste or report on the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Form R. You will leave this course with the tools you need to create your Pollution Prevention plan.
Environmental Management Systems Operations and Maintenance
The ISO 14001:2015 will be required by September of 2018. We will show you how to implement an EMS. Even if you are not planning to be certified this course will show you the basics of EMS, and how to implement them in ways that reduce liability, ensure compliance, and improve operating efficiency. Guidance will be provided on how to certify your environmental management system or prepare for an audit to renew hour certification.

LITTLE COMPTON, R.I. (AP) — The Rhode Island-based jewelry maker Alex and Ani has purchased a winery in Little Compton.
The jewelry company completed the purchase of the 170-acre Sakonnet Vineyards on Thursday. The real estate firm that sold the property said the price was $8.95 million.
Alex and Ani president Carolyn Rafaelian has said the winery and the jewelry company make a "perfect pairing." Rafaelian also purchased Newport's largest privately-owned mansion, Belcourt Castle, in November.
The Cranston-based Alex and Ani has grown quickly since it was founded in 2004. Its products are made of recycled materials and are manufactured in the United States.

Agent Drew Rosenhaus reportedly will meet face-to-face with the Green Bay Packers on Monday in an effort to hammer out a new contract for cornerback Sam Shields.
Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported Monday that Rosenhaus hopes to wrap up a long-term contract for Shields in time for this week's minicamp. The sides reportedly have been talking about a multiyear deal since before the 2013 NFL Draft.
Shields is a restricted free agent whom the Packers tendered at the second-round level in March, a designation worth $2.02 million for 2013. If the fourth-year veteran doesn't sign his tender by June 17, the Packers have the option to play hardball and reduce the deal to 110 percent of Shields' $540,000 price tag from 2012.
Shields -- who started eight regular-season games last season -- arguably is Green Bay's most talented cover man. ProFootballFocus graded him as the NFL's 14th-best corner and the league's eighth best against the pass, but durability was a concern for Shields last season.
The Packers haven't displayed much urgency in exploring a long-term pact for Shields -- he'd probably sign his tender if it boiled down to it -- but a face-to-face meeting bodes well for his return.
UPDATE: NFL.com's Albert Breer reported Monday that Shields signed his tender with the Packers. Shields' tender is worth $2,023,000.

Motley Crue + Kiss Promise Real Rock and Roll on 'The Tour'
Everyone in the rock community is talking about the upcoming tour that Motley Crue and Kiss will embark on this summer. Billed simply as 'The Tour,' it's going to be quite a spectacle, since both bands are known for "bringing it" in the live realm and having massive stage set ups. The bands did promise that each will be afforded ample opportunity to deliver two completely different, standalone shows, with Kiss frontman Paul Stanley declaring, "It's not half-Motley, half-Kiss." It's full on for both — separate but equal.
While chatting with Revolver TV at Tuesday's (March 20) landmark press conference, Stanley said, "Both bands will be in their element, wild and free, doing what we do and playing live music." In somewhat of a diss against bands and acts that play to tape, Stanley continued, "No lip synching, no dancing backwards with guys humping each other on the side of the stage. All those bands who don't sing, and just kind of lip synch? That's not rock and roll. We don't play always perfectly. We make mistakes. But it's real. It's live. It's blood, sweat and tears."
Amen to that, Paul. Flaws are what establish character and who wants to see a perfect, sterile live show, anyway? It's the spontaneity that makes it interesting!
Crue vocalist Vince Neil said, "It's going to be a great time. What two bigger bands can you put together with the shows we put on? The fans are going to love it. It's going to be amazing."
Host Carla Harvey brought up the rumors of a squabble between the Crue and Kiss bassist Gene Simmons from back in 1982. Word is that the Motley boys were kicked out of the backstage area at the time, but they jokingly blamed guitarist Mick Mars. "It's unbelievable the trouble he causes," his Crue bandmates said of their normally quiet riff maker.
We can't wait to see what kinda "trouble" the Crue and Kiss stir up this summer.

Ford Mustang to be sold in UK
* Ford Mustang to be sold in UK * Right-hand drive model due * On sale by 2015...
The iconic Ford Mustang is coming to Europe - and the long-awaited introduction will also include a right-hand-drive version for the UK market.
The legendary sports car has been a popular grey import choice for many years, but Ford has now committed to introducing it in Europe as part of the company's 'One Ford' global product strategy.
No date has been announced, but it's thought it will coincide with the introduction of the next-generation Mustang in late 2014 or early 2015.
Ford sources have declined to comment on the likely configuration, although it is hard to imagine a Mustang range being offered without a V8 option.
Other engine options could include a turbocharged V6 and, as an outside bet, a turbocharged four-cylinder unit.

The Best Slipknot Collaboration Yet?
Alright, we all know that Slipknot has some pretty slick sounding songs. Pummeling drums, gut-wrenching guitar growls, thundering bass and a singer's voice that will instill fear into uninitiated Slipknot listeners. "Psychosocial" is one of their songs that definitely gets your head bobbing; a classic Slipknot track. Well, some wiseacre thinks they have a great idea for mashup. Slipknot and Justin Bieber...yep. Give a listen after the break.

Snoop Dogg's Smokable Songbook Will Make You Burn After Reading
Leave it to Snoop Dogg to push the envelope in weed consumption. To promote his new rolling papers called 'Rolling Words', the sticky icky rapper has released a book that you can smoke.
Each page of the book is printed on perforated rolling papers using non-toxic ink. So, the idea is that you flip to a page, read Snoop's lyrics, and then tear it out and use it to roll a doobie. Even better, the spine of the book has a match lighting strip to aid in your smoking. The binding is made of 100% hemp, but don't get any ideas – it's not going to get you blazed.
Designed by San Francisco ad agency Pereira & O'Dell, 'Rolling Words' will be available for people to… sample at this year's Coachella music festival.
