Romain Grosjean believes he's looking "pretty good" for the second half of the season and a debut grand prix win..
Romain Grosjean believes he's looking "pretty good" for the second half of the season and a debut grand prix win.
Trying to put aside last year's reputation as a driver who crashes, Grosjean has shown some consistency this season with six results inside the top ten.
He has, however, still had a few issues including a trying weekend in Monaco that ended in an accident and a grid penalty for the following event.
"Monaco was not my best weekend, that's no secret," he admits.
"The pace was there, but for one reason or another I just didn't put everything together when really a strong result was definitely achievable.
"I still owe the mechanics and composites guys a drink for that; hopefully it will be some victory champagne later in the season..."
And although his most recent race, Hungary, saw not one but two penalties dished out the Frenchman, he still brought his E21 home in sixth place.
"We proved in Germany and Hungary that we can compete right at the front of the grid and I think if we can continue to improve at the same rate we will be looking pretty good for the remaining nine races," he explained.
"I'm feeling more and more comfortable in the car every time I drive it which is certainly a good sign looking forwards.
"After our performance in the last few races, I honestly believe my first win is now just around the corner."
Asked to sum up the first half of his Championship, the Lotus driver added: "That's a difficult one, but I guess I'd have to say the word 'potential' is the key.
"For sure we've had some difficult moments and maybe the results haven't always been what the team deserved, but the potential for top finishes has always been there."

Sorry, there are no rabbits available at our centres at this time.
You are viewing all of our rabbits at all of our centres.
Rabbits are a very popular pet, particularly for families with young children.
Unfortunately, rabbits are widely available and often bought without a full understanding of their care needs, which frequently leads to rabbits being neglected or abandoned in the wild.
Rabbits can be fantastic pets and are often best kept in pairs. If you are considering rehoming a rabbit to accompany a current pet then they must be introduced safely and any males and females being kept together should be neutered.
All of our rescue rabbits are rehomed with full veterinary checks. Rehoming fees can vary from £15 to £20.
All council and private rent customers must produce written conformation from their landlord stating they have permission to keep a dog or cat in their home.
On rehoming a rabbit from the Scottish SPCA you will receive four weeks free insurance from our partner Petplan.
The Scottish SPCA does not put healthy animals to sleep.
Our animal rescue and rehoming centres are open daily from 10am to 4pm. Call 03000 999 999 (option 2).

En español | In 2014, about 1.2 million tax returns were audited by the Internal Revenue Service. Here are some tips on how you can best avoid getting audited this tax season.
1. Know your risk
You want to be able to document every deduction and keep that proof for at least three years from your filing date. Certain ZIP codes, like those in higher-income neighborhoods, have a higher audit rate, says tax attorney Frederick W. Daily, author of five tax-related books, including Stand Up to the IRS.
Self-employed workers also tend to get a red flag, especially when they claim a business operating loss "of any size," says Daily. Also on the IRS's radar: those whose overall deductions approach 50 percent of their reported gross income.
2. Avoid round numbers
A tax return with lots of round numbers — $1,200 in travel expenses or $1,500 in charitable contributions — suggests that you're just estimating those claims, "and the IRS loves to go after people who don't keep good records," says Daily. "You don't need to include cents, but use the closest accurate dollar amounts, such as $1,260 or $1,525.
3. Explain on paper what you can't with e-filing
Do-it-yourself tax preparation software makes for easier and more accurate tax return preparation. But you can get into trouble if you file electronically with software that has no capability to include disclosure statements. You should include such explanations "whenever there's something unusual in your return," says Eva Rosenberg, who is an accountant and an "enrolled agent," a person authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS.
If you use a software program, Rosenberg suggests not using its e-filing feature if there's anything that might leave an IRS officer wondering. "Print out your return and attach an explanation statement and mail it in," she says. A new feature this year: "You will able to include PDF attachments with certain forms. Ask if your software supports this."
In many cases, a type-written note will suffice to explain such red-flag issues as losses for a small business, a high mortgage-interest deduction or a home office deduction for a regular W-2 employee. In other cases, you'll be able to attach signed documents related to charitable contributions or dependents.
4. Double-check your math
It's no surprise that sloppy arithmetic on a paper return can flag an audit. "People list correct numbers but on the wrong line," says Rosenberg. So make sure sums are not only correct but in the correct place.
5. Mind each line
Don't forget the easy stuff — your Social Security number, address and signature. "It's a myth that if you fail to sign your return, you will automatically be audited," she says. "The IRS will simply send it back for your signature. But if you repeatedly forget to sign and the IRS believes this is a deliberate pattern, you could face fraud penalties, and unwanted attention on your future returns."

Create a web site where all NGOs and activist groups can present their cause in the form of a proposed act/decree/law
NGOs worldwide and others write up acts/laws that address threatening worldwide problems.
These laws are drafted in a standard format for consistence and easy of comprehension.
The host web site categorizes these acts and indexes them and displays them
Web site becomes host for proposed legislative law available for any party or politician, anywhere on the planet.
Web site asks others to support enactment of proposed laws through petitions etc.
Mirrored web sites could offer translations.
Host site promotes a single worldwide mission and single mission statement (ideas please)
We will never resolve problems so long as we remain fragmented into small numbers without a unified voice
Jun 6 2013: This is not at all what I have in mind. Have a look at stopstopstop.org where I try to make my case,
If we first acknowledge that to make progress that legislative acts/laws must be implemented then look at the process needed to achieve that goal.
We must propose what we as society wants done. We need to then prepare in writing what we want done as a legislative act. We must present the proposals to the public worldwide for input and amendments. We must then promote the proposals and get the public to stand behind such proposals in numbers that leave no doubt as to our objectives.
I have a draft list of a couple of hundred things that need to be addressed - I didn't see any of them on the site you pointed outJun 4 2013: @people out of EU:
It is here: http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/futurium/en/listpoliciesMay 27 2013: Hi Lori,
Thanks for the comments.
First off, at 76, I am not planning on building a site myself as I simply don't have the talent. I would however like to continue exploring this idea with anyone interested.
My latest thought is that we need to break down the problems facing us into categories and then present a case for one issue in each category every second week. If we used 26 categories then we could offer one proposed legislative act every two weeks every year. Perhaps Avaaz could take on that task but rather than offer the act - petition to one legislative body they would send it to every national legislative body in their own perspective language. They have a millions of followers already. Avaaz and others do a phenomenal job but we need to resolve major problems that affect all of us and not just the few.
Here are the 26 categories that I have drafted. needs editing I'm sure
1. Air degradation
2. Biodiversity
3. Democracy/Voting
4. Energy
5. Farming/Logging
6. Fishing/Whaling
7. Food
8. Forestry and Mining
9. Genetic engineering
10. Health
11. Human Rights
12. Land/Soil Degradation
13. Nuclear Issues
14. Ozone Issues
15. People's Commons/natural resources
16. Plastic Dangers
17. Public Broadcasting/Freedom of speech/Right to Knowledge
18. River and Water Resources
19. Space Issues
20. Species
21. Toxins
22. Trade and Labour
23. Transportation
24. Waste/Recycle
25. Other
26. Other -
MattMay 27 2013: I love it! I haven't come across a site like this. The closest thing is Asoka's http://www.changemakers.com/, which focuses on collaboration and funding. Are you looking to build this site?May 22 2013: Hi Fritzie,
I really don't know of anyone trying something similar even though I have been promoting this idea for a long time. If you have any other links pass them on.
Avaaz and change org seem to be trying the same thing with petitions and having favorable results
I asked a few organization to help me write a petition on reducing plastic usage globally and had no response. Its tough to get attention and support.
(I mention plastic because it covers a number of areas - leaching of hormone mimickers, ground water pollution, disrupting male female ratios, chocking sea life, lost fish nets that kill forever etc)
In this concept (that needs a lot of input) Plastic would be category - elimination of single use plastic bags could become a proposed ACT written with input from anyone. I said NGOs as they are the ones with the staff and research data. Individuals could offer input but someone would have to keep it on track. The host of such ACTs would have to stay out of this to remain neutral.
May 23 2013: I would need to search, just as you would.
May 23 2013: Sorry - but I didn't mean for you to search for me. I just thought you might know of one.
While I am here I will mention some ideas that could be written as acts and would go a long way to improve the welfare of people and planet alike.
Eliminate GMOs
Stop deindustrialization of our nations
Stop the use of depleted uranium
Stop the practice of female genital mutilation
Restrict the size of automotive engines
Reverse the concentration of media ownership
Make it illegal to hide assets from taxation and confiscate such assets
Stop embalming of corpses
Stop the use of plurality/majority voting systems
Stop the manufacturing of any product that leaches hormone mimicking chemicals.
That is only 10 acts that would get the ball rolling.
May 23 2013: Are you thinking of just a listing of demands that could be represented as legislation, or do you envision any sort of articulation of reasoning, thoughtful issue papers that show that the proponent has considered all the dimensions of an issue, and so forth?
I think solid NGOs with a lot of credibility would distance themselves from a site on which just anyone could post any sort of demand.May 22 2013: I suggest you look online to see what you find of this type. For example, the petition website change.org would seem to have some overlap with your idea, but carries a broader range of proposals and not just from NGOs.
Another person posted a similar proposal to yours last month but not restricted to NGOs. Maybe such projects are well underway!
Comment deleted
May 22 2013: HI ZX No, I wasn't suggesting that. I am suggesting that each NGO etc would write up their objectives as a law/act/decree so that we would know (in a nut shell) what they stood for and were trying to accomplish.
The host site would index it and post it and allow followers to support it, offer changes, or reject it.
The whole thing would counter the legislation prepared by right winged think tanks that is adopted and passed into law as destructive acts and omnibus bills all the time.May 22 2013: Hi Matthew,
I haven't exactly understood what I am supposed to do in the above mentioned project...
I have a not for profit web site that offers personalized medical expertise on Sexual Health worldwide.
Innumerable teenagers are in the grips of severe anxiety depression caused by their wrong belief that they will be impotent and infertile along with having a host of harmful mental and physical damages to their body because of masturbation or wet dreams.
Teenagers don't confide in parents, teachers, and doctors out of shame and suffer silently.
There is no other way I can prevent such a huge number of teenagers from being fleeced of their money and robbed of robust, dynamic mental and physical health caused by misconceptions about common innocuous adolescent experiences such as masturbation and wet dreams.
Best wishes,
Dr. Ashok Koparday
Consultant Psycho Sexual Medicine
Medical Director
Samadhan IndiaMay 22 2013: Good idea But
Problems it might face
1.Over Crowding
2.Vested interests
3.People' apathy
4.Government's apathy
May 22 2013: Hi Adesh - To prevent overcrowding (as you put it) perhaps we could suggest the preparation of one act/decree for each of the categories.
Wikipedia has a list of about 25 that we could use to get started http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_environmental_issues
As for the other problems they will always be with us - Remember "Big change looks impossible when you start, and inevitable when you finish." - Bob Hunter
Comment deleted
May 22 2013: Good morning LaMar. As the object is to curb the destruction of the planet and to improve the welfare of people I think we need to find something that says that in a few words.
How about something like "Preparing, presenting and promoting legislative ACTs for people and planet"
"ACT NOW" could be the "call to arms"

Comments about Elite Mejio Race Cage - Nashbar Exclusive:
This is a nice lightweight cage for the money. It's a little difficult to get the water bottle into the cage while riding but you eventually get the hang of it. Keeps my bottle secure. I bought 2 of them; one for the seat tube and one for the down tube. I was unable to use the one for the seat tube as I can't get my bottle in and out due to the top tube. I'll have to get a side mount cage for the seat tube.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comment on this review
By Jimbo
from Memphis
This is a very nice, and light, water bottle cage, that splits open at the top to accept any reasonably sized water bottle. Although I find the split at the top a little cumbersome when it comes to replacing the bottle in the holder, you get used to it quickly. But I think if I were bouncing along on a mountain bike or on cobbles, it would be challenging. Looks great on my black Cannondale and with my other older Elite bottle cage.

As the Henry A. Wise High School football team waited outside its locker room for the 4A state championship game, quarterback Isaiah Black stared down an M&T Bank Stadium hallway.
Tight end Micah Till tapped Black's shoulder to get Black's attention and offered a calming high five.
When it counted, Till didn't need a tap. He had Black's attention in full.
Till's 24-yard touchdown catch with 2:14 left proved to be the game-winner in Wise's 12-7 win against Quince Orchard on Friday, giving Wise its first-ever state title.
"We talked about it," Black said of throwing a fade route to Till. "I said, 'How would you feel if that play was the game-winner?' He was like, 'Man, let's just do it. Let's just do it.'"
Wise (14-0) trailed 7-6 at halftime and its offense stalled most of the second half. But on a 3rd-and-10 during the game-winning drive, Black hit Till over the middle for a 26-yard gain, finally giving Wise a spark.
"He kept saying, 'Give me a shot.' He kept saying, 'I'm 6-5. Throw it up,'" Wise coach DaLawn Parrish said.
For most of the game, Black had looked away from Till, who was constantly double-teamed by Quince Orchard. But Wise's coaches finally instructed Black to throw to Till, anyway. On his big catch, Till fought off two Quince Orchard defenders in tight coverage.
"I wanted to make the game-winning play, but I really didn't expect to," Till said. "But anytime my name is called, I want to do the impossible. So, I just did the impossible."
When the game ended following Joseph Shelton's interception, players on both teams fell to the turf — Quince Orchard's in agony of their second straight state-final loss and Wise's overjoyed with their perfect season.
Linebacker Franklin Porter — who delivered a stirring locker-room speech about winning a state title following Wise's playoff loss to Suitland last year — ran around telling everyone, 'I told you."
Running back Chase Powell — who ran for 131 yards and Wise's first touchdown Friday after being slowed the last several weeks with an injury — cried as teammates took turns hugging him.
Wide receivers coach A.J. Jones — part of a staff for which the team holds immense respect — dropped his crutches and stumbled into his player's waiting arms.
The victory, which gave Prince George's County its first state champion since Suitland and Friendly won in 2006, was Wise's first win by fewer than 20 points this season. After losing in the 2009 and 2010 state-title games, Wise won its first title in its seventh year of existence.
"I guess in terms of years, you could say it's been a quick rise," Parrish said. "But, for us, it's been a lot of heartache in this rise. So, it's been a long time coming also."
Quince Orchard understands the heartache.
After losing to Old Mill by one point in last year's state final, Quince Orchard (12-2) came nearly as close this year.
Quince Orchard coach Dave Mencarini stood with his hands on hips at midfield, waiting for the post-game handshake line as, directly in front of him, Parrish conducted interviews and Wise players celebrated — a miserable view, to be sure.
"Last year, I was heartbroken. This year, I'm very frustrated," Mencarini said. "I felt like that was a game we didn't play our best."
"Those men over there deserve to be champions, too, in that other room," Parrish said. "They played their guts out. They played hard. Sometimes, unfortunately, you can't have two champions in one year."
As the Wise celebration spilled off the field and into the post-game interview room, a rarity occurred.
"I'm so speechless," Porter said.
That's not common for Porter, the team's emotional leader who's quick with a pep talk whenever its necessary.
Moments after Black's and Till's pregame high five, Porter emerged from the locker room.
"They've doubted us before," Porter yelled as he skipped ahead.
Not anymore.

That's what Bethesda's official site for the game says, at least, with listings for the next-gen platforms now displayed alongside those of the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC editions of the fifth Elder Scrolls game.
At time of writing the listing was still there; whether it's a mistake or an inadvertent early reveal, who knows. We've contacted Bethesda, and will update if we hear back.
Update: Those listings appear to be the result of a website error, according to Bethesda's Pete Hines.
We have been working on the CMS that runs our sites. A bug caused platforms that don't exist to show up for some games Sorry for confusion.

When small businesses struggle to navigate the world of government contracts or a government buyer seeks out responsible vendors, the Defense Logistics Agency and the Procurement Technical Assistance Centers work to bring the parties together.
Funded through cooperative agreements with DLA, the PTACs have a local presence in 49 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Guam. The centers provide technical assistance, usually free of charge, to businesses as they pursue and perform under contracts with the Department of Defense, other federal agencies, state and local governments and with government prime contractors. PTAC assistance to businesses includes registration in systems such as the System for Award Management, identification of contract opportunities, and help in understanding requirements and in preparing and submitting bids.
The PTACs are staffed with experts in the terms, conditions, procedures, rules and regulations relating to government contracts.
"Without the assistance of Roger Johnson at the PTAC, I would have found doing business with the federal government very difficult. I recommend that anyone wishing to do business with the federal government seek support from the PTAC," said Darrell Starks, owner of Elkhorn Valley Airboats, a small business in Waterloo, Neb.
Mark Santo, president of Mark VII Enterprises, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, also attributed much of his company's success to the assistance and support he received from the PTAC in Omaha, Neb.
"The PTAC assisted during our origination in helping us to setup as a SDVOSB and go after contracting opportunities," Santo said. "That allowed us to be successful during the economic downturn."
Jacqueline Alvarado is president of Century Fire Systems, a woman-owned small business. She reached out to her local PTAC in El Paso, Texas, for help.
"We had the pleasure of working with Julie Suarez and found her to be quite knowledgeable and competent," Alvarado said. "Because of Ms. Suarez, Century Fire Systems is now certified as a WOSB."
The PTACs also support the acquisition workforce in identifying responsible vendors and with other market research.
With little time to spare, a buyer with the Defense Commissary Agency reached out to the PTAC in Petersburg, Va., for assistance in identifying small businesses for a requirement that had previously generated little interest. The PTAC helped identify 10 interested vendors, three of which provided a quote.
"Our contracting staff saved valuable time because of your office's assistance," DeCA contract specialist Barbara Wright said of the PTAC.
The award was ultimately made to a veteran-owned small business.
DLA and the PTACs support businesses as they grow, offering relevant, current and effective training on many topics pertinent to government contracts.
Northern Wings Repair is a historically underutilized business zone small business started in Michigan 11 years ago with just two employees.† Northern Wings first sought assistance from the local Onaway, Mich., PTAC in 2005. Company President David Goudreau described an early PTAC event the company attended as "the single most contributing factor to our success in developing our customer base within the U.S. government and with prime contractors."
Today, Northern Wings is working out of a 13,000-square-foot facility and has completed contracts for DLA, NASA, the Department of Homeland Security, Boeing and Lockheed Martin. Still receiving support from the PTAC, Goudreau continues to speak highly of the program, saying that the "PTAC's are the best business development partners we have."
"We used them to get started, and they continue to provide key training and services to our employees as we grow," he added.
The Procurement Technical Assistance Centers Program is executed and carried out by the DLA Office of Small Business Programs.
More information about the program and locations of local Procurement Technical Assistance Centers are available at: http://www.dla.mil/SmallBusiness/Pages/ptap.aspx.
As a Department of Defense combat support agency, DLA provides the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, other federal agencies, and joint and allied forces with a variety of logistics, acquisition and technical services. The agency sources and provides nearly 100 percent of the consumable items America's military forces need to operate, from food, fuel and energy, to uniforms, medical supplies, and construction and barrier equipment. DLA also supplies more than 85 percent of the military's spare parts.

At the end of the day the starters are the ones that face the other team best players and if they can't do anything against them the team is probably going to lose and the Pacers proved that.
Blame Barbosa, Tyler, Lou, DC all you want but at the end of the day the starters didn't step up.

But that wasn't really the point. The point is Tyler was really bad. Collison did fine. Lou did fine.
Herb Williams for Detlef Schrempf was a brilliant trade. That's the only BIG trade I can think of.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
Hey vzla, nice to meet a fellow Venezuelan (I'm from Barquisimeto), especially in an Indiana based forum.
I'll probably take the time later because right now I haven't been able to find it, but the data for our starter's 5 man unit plus-minus in the Heat series has been shown here in other threads, and I believe it portrayed our starters actually being a net positive or very close to that. I say that because you seem to think that our starters were overwhelmed in said series and it seems to be a factually wrong assertion. I could be wrong but that is what I recall: I'll try to find the info.
Really though, we were up on the Miami heat 2-1. We just got too cocky about ourselves and they came to play. We had all the momentum, we were at home to put us up 3-1, yet we lacked the "killer instinct" as coach Vogel calls it. I hope that they learned something from that, and they come ready to duke it out EVERY game. I was a legitimate believer that we could have won it all last year, but I guess it is hard to expect such a thing from a young team still learning how the playoffs work. I will, however, be just as much a believer that we can do it this year.
The Lost Season
I started a new thread about this, so we can bicker there.
Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!

Poor communication and divergent goals are hampering efforts by China and the United States to improve their understanding of each other's nuclear-arms policy, issue experts said on Wednesday.
In more than 10 years of bilateral talks on their respective nuclear-weapons programs, the United States and China are frequently "like chickens talking with ducks," according to Gregory Kulacki, a senior analyst in the Union of Concerned Scientists' Global Security Program. Neither side really believes or comprehends what the other is saying, he said.
"It's like an old couple stuck in a bad relationship that neither one really wants to leave," Kulacki said. "They both know what the problem is and they just don't have the energy to argue about it anymore."
Kulacki contends the crux of the problem lies with Washington's insistence that Beijing be more transparent about the size and capabilities of its nuclear arsenal.
China counters it is already more transparent than the United States about its deterrent posture as it has a declared absolute no-first-use policy while Washington has only pledged not to conduct nuclear strikes on states without atomic arsenals of their own that are also in good standing with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
Estimates of the size of China's nuclear arsenal range from approximately 155 to 240 warheads. Beijing is projected to have as many as 75 long-range nuclear-capable missiles in addition to 120 intermediate- and medium-range missiles, the U.S. Defense Department said in a 2011 assessment of China's armed forces.
Comparatively, the United States possesses 1,790 fielded long-range nuclear warheads and 822 deployed ICBMs, submarine-launched ballistic missiles and nuclear bombers, according to figures compiled in September by the State Department. As of May 2010, the United States had declared a total nuclear arsenal of 5,113 active and reserve warheads.
Unlike the United States, China keeps its nuclear warheads separate from launch vehicles, according to an official Chinese military textbook.
The Obama administration has publicized the number and types of warheads held in the U.S. nuclear stockpile but Beijing argues that providing similar information would make its nuclear weapons more vulnerable to a potential disarming first strike by the United States.
"Beijing claims that it cannot talk about those things because it's essential to their strategy for [the United States] not to know," Kulacki told a Washington audience at a forum on improving U.S.-Chinese nuclear discussions.
However, the Obama administration is unsatisfied with that stance and argues that a no-first-use pledge would be small comfort in a moment of crisis when lives are at stake, he continued.
This distrust in turn is insulting to Chinese representatives at bilateral nuclear talks, which have been taking place at varying levels for years.
Beijing views the U.S. insistence on more transparency in nuclear stockpile numbers as an attempt to shift the focus away from China's urging that the United States declare a no-first-use policy, according to Kulacki, who has spent years encouraging and facilitating dialogues between U.S. and Chinese analysts on nuclear arms control issues.
In the October issue of Arms Control Today, Kulacki wrote, "it is difficult for Chinese analysts to appreciate why a country with overwhelming conventional military superiority is unable to make a basic confidence-building commitment that a much weaker China finds acceptable."
It was only this May that the first official senior-level strategic security talks were held between the two powers. Other meetings have been at the less formal levels.
One notable success of these informal discussions by U.S. and Chinese arms-control specialists was the 2006 agreement to write a bilingual glossary of nuclear-weapons terminology with mutually accepted definitions, Kulacki said.
Faced with an impasse on the no-first-use issue, the Obama administration is seeking to engage in nuclear discussions with the People's Liberation Army's Second Artillery rather than with the Chinese Defense Ministry, which is more of a "military-diplomacy place" and not a decision-making body, according Li Bin, a noted expert on nuclear-disarmament issues in China.
"I think DOD is right to find someone else to talk with," Li told forum attendees. However, the Second Artillery, which has responsibility over China's nuclear missiles, is not the right body to be talking with, he said.
Unlike the U.S. Strategic Command, the Second Artillery is not particularly active or experienced in nuclear dialogues, said Li, a senior associate in the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace's Nuclear Policy Program. With time, officers from the Second Artillery could be ready to take part in security talks; until then, Li recommended the United States reach out to the Chinese nuclear-weapon laboratories for informal people-to-people exchanges.

Gallery: UCSD's Campus Catering Building Reflects The Ocean with Its Ch...
UCSD's new facilities provide office space for the growing housing and dining department responsible for on campus catering as well as an 8,000 sq ft catering kitchen and event and meeting space. Located on the southwestern corner of the UCSD campus, the catering facility shares loading space with the campus dining commons and is a key crossroad for campus circulation. The ocean and the coast were direct inspirations for the design and aesthetics of the building.
The lower portion of the structure is composed of board-formed concrete walls made with fly ash. Mirroring the coast, the building makes use of a west stair case reminiscent of ramps common along the San Diego beach bluffs and a pier-like overlook. Transparency and daylighting were the most desired features, but they could not come at a cost of overheating from the sun midday through the afternoon. As a solution, the prominent south and west facades use a high performance glazing system, which is composed of two layers of glass and allows for ventilation to reduce solar heat gain. Otherwise, building features were oriented and designed to improve daylighting or provide shading depending on the location. The facility also features an efficient radiator heating system and displacement air conditioning system that reduces energy use by 25% form conventional air conditioning.

Finalist Neel Patel is an 11th grade student at Oviedo High School in Seminole County and is a member of the Beta Club and Mu Alpha Theta. A science research since sixth grade, Neel is now a dual enrollment student at the University of Central Florida and has published and presented his research at various simulation and training conferences. Though he keeps busy with his studies, Neel is also an active member of his school's varsity swimming team and water polo team and enjoys swimming and surfing. He earned the rank of Eagle Scout through the Boy Scouts of America.
Neel's research project for the Ying Competition focuses on how humans absorb information, specifically graphs and patterns. Over the past three years, he has worked on various studies having to do with sonification (auditory patterns). He decided to further this by concentrating on the accuracy of comprehension and the exact processes of sonification. It is his hope that from his research we will be able to better understand how to apply sonification for everyday use such as assisting the visually impaired.

First, the 1948 World Series film, narrated by Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Elson, featuring over 38 minutes of highlights from the series in classic, vintage black & white. All the key moments are here, including: the legendary Bob Feller vs. Johnny Sain duel in Game 1 at Boston's Braves Field, with Sain defeating Feller's two-hitter with a complete-game shutout; groundbreaking centerfielder Larry Doby showing hustle and heart, and Bob Lemon providing ace pitching, as the Indians tie up the series at 1-1 with a 4-1 victory; rookie Gene Bearden's shutout gem in Game 3 at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium; Doby's home run, and Steve Gromek outduelling Sain in a 2-1 Game 4 victory; a record 86,288 fans jamming the stadium on a Sunday afternoon going home disappointed as Sain saves the day in relief, returning the series to Boston; and series aces Lemon and Bearden clinching victory with a 4-3 win in the finale. With rare, historic coverage that gives you great views of the long-gone ballparks, it also features memorable stars like Alvin Dark, Bob Elliott, Tommy Holmes, Mike McCormick, Marv Rickert, Eddie Stanky, Earl Torgeson, player-manager Lou Boudreau, Joe Gordon, Jim Hegan, Ken Keltner, Dale Mitchell, Eddie Robinson, and an ageless Satchel Paige delivering a Game 5 relief pitch, this is an amazing find for any baseball lover.
Next, you get the bonus feature, "Wahoo! What a Finish!", the story of the incredible 1995 Cleveland Indians and their penchant for miraculous combeback victories at Jacobs Field. With exclusive interviews with the players and management, you'll see the stories of a dozen remarkable finishes, including Jose Mesa's record-setting 37th consecutive save, Kenny Lofton defeating the Twins in a 17-inning marathon, and walk-off home runs from Manny Ramirez (twice, including one off Dennis Eckersley), Jim Thome, Sandy Alomar Jr., Eddie Murray, Paul Sorrento, and three from Albert Belle (including two nights in a row against the Blue Jays in August, and a third off all-time great closer Lee Smith). Perhaps the greatest, most exciting Indians team of all-time, this is the club that re-captured the heart of the city, and came within two wins of another championship.
A fantastic, hard-to-find disc you likely won't find in stores! A must for any fan of the Tribe (or of the old-school Braves).

(Sports Network) - While the Minnesota Wild surged to the top of the Northwest Division with an excellent March, the St. Louis Blues have struggled as of late and remain in the midst of a tight playoff race.
The Wild hope to begin the new month with their 11th victory in 13 games on Monday night and hand the Blues a fourth straight setback.
Minnesota's 10-2-0 mark over its last 12 games has the club tied with Vancouver atop the divisional standings with 44 points, but the Wild have two more wins and a game in hand over the Canucks, who visit the San Jose Sharks on Monday night.
The Wild ripped off seven straight wins from March 14-27 before suffering a 5-3 setback at the Dallas Stars on Friday. They got right back to work just 24 hours later and rallied from two goals down to best the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 in a shootout.
Charlie Coyle and Zach Parise scored to erase a 2-1 deficit before Parise, Mikko Koivu and Matt Cullen all lit the lamp in the shootout. Niklas Backstrom made 28 saves and stopped 1-of-2 in the breakaway session to win his eighth straight decision, a new club record. He had set the previous mark of seven in a row from March 8-22, 2007.
"All I can say is this shows a huge amount of character by our team," said Wild coach Mike Yeo. "Back-to-back games, they're sitting here waiting for us; down 3-1 against a team that doesn't give you much. Just a great job by our guys."
Cullen also scored in regulation, while Koivu had two assists to give him 11 points over a seven-game point streak. Minnesota won its fourth straight at home.
The Blues, meanwhile, have lost three straight to post their longest losing streak since a five-game drought from Feb. 1-11. They have been out of action since Thursday, when they lost a 4-2 game to the Kings.
The idle time has hurt St. Louis in the standings. The club went into play on Sunday with 36 points and holding onto the eighth spot in the Western Conference, but comes into this game a point back of Columbus for the final playoff spot in the conference. Three other teams also trail the Blues by just a single point.
The Blues were not completely inactive since their last game, sending a pair of conditional picks in the 2013 draft to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday for defenseman Jordan Leopold.
The 30-year-old blueliner registered two goals and six assists in 24 games for the Sabres this season, following a two-year stretch with the franchise that saw him strike for 23 goals and 59 points in 150 appearances.
His presence will hopefully help a Blues club that has been outscored 10-4 over its slide.
St. Louis got both of its goals last Thursday from rookie Vladimir Tarasenko, who has eight goals and 16 points in 23 games this season. He picked up the second multi-goal game of his career and first since the season opener on Jan. 19.
"This was not good because the team lost," said Tarasenko. "It doesn't matter how many goals you score and how many points you make. It's all about a win."
Jaroslav Halak gave up three goals on 39 shots in the loss.
St. Louis begins a tough stretch of back-to-back road games tonight as it will also visit the Western Conference-leading Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday.
The Blues have won three straight versus the Wild, taking the first of three meetings this season 5-4 in overtime on Jan. 27 in St. Louis. Vladimir Sobotka had the game-winner, one of five different goal-scorers, while Brian Elliott made 12 saves.
Parise, who currently leads the Wild with 15 goals, scored twice and had an assist in the setback, while Backstrom made 29 saves on 34 shots.
Minnesota has won six of its past seven at home versus St. Louis.

Each experience completes. Completion means leading to void or nothing. In the progression of life, you will leave behind every experience saying, "This is nothing." Anything that is completed loses its importance. That is to say it leads you to void - this is nothing. A sign of intelligence is how soon you arrive at this understanding. Examine everything in life and say "This is nothing" and what remains after all that, is Love, and that is everything. When "This is nothing" does not come out of knowledge, it comes out of misery. Either through knowledge or through misery, you come to the point of "This is nothing, this is nothing". The choice is yours. If you got this, it is really NOTHING, If you didn't get this, never mind - this is nothing. (laughter)
Guruji visited Ulaan Bataar, capital of Mongolia, on a two-day state visit and was received by the first President of the Mongolian Republic and a few members of parliament. Though the flight was delayed by five hours, thousands waited at the National Opera House, where Guruji was driven straight from the airport. Even though he had traveled such a long distance, there was not a trace of tiredness as he greeted the cheering crowd. Meetings and satsangs at Ulaan Bataar were filled with gratitude. A 10 year old boy, who was deaf for several years, regained his hearing! On April 29th, Guruji was received by Mongolia's highest Buddhist leader, His Holiness The Hamba Lama Choijamts at the Gandan monastery. The Lama, in his welcome address, noted that Guruji's work has brought so much peace and strength to the people of Mongolia.

It's not edgy in the slightest, and it hasn't been trendy since Huey Long was in office. Yet the Columns endures, and thank God for that. This 1883 Italianate mansion, rising among the moss-shrouded oaks on St. Charles Avenue, just happens to be a hotel. But really, it's a bar: the Victorian Lounge, to be exact—all smoke-burnished mahogany and... More creaking floorboards under an ornate stained-glass chandelier. That a landmark so rife with atmosphere could also function as a workaday tavern is one of the Columns's singular charms. (Is your local pub on the National Register?) Yet a neighborhood haunt is precisely what it's become, drawing a cross section of New Orleans society, from parish pols and Loyola students to debutantes and their mothers. The crowd and the vibe evolve throughout the afternoon and into the night. Choosing the ideal hour is impossible, though it's hard to argue with that last delicious gasp before twilight, when the band launches into Sidney Bechet's "Preachin' Blues," the scent of honeysuckle and fresh-cut grass wafts across the porch, and all is just right in New Orleans.

Confirmation screening of compounds that potentiate TRAIL-induced apoptosis in TRAIL-resistant cancer cells, MCF7

Cytotoxic chemotherapy induces apoptosis via a pathway involving mitochondria, sometimes referred to as the "intrinsic pathway." An acquired resistance to anticancer drugs commonly results from the accumulation of defects in components of the mitochondrial pathway for apoptosis. Discovering and identifying alternative pathways for triggering tumor cells apoptosis offer hope for more effective outcomes. Members of the Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) family of "death receptors" induce apoptosis via a direct mechanism that proceeds without involving mitochondria - referred to as the "extrinsic pathway." These cytokine receptors are frequently employed by immune cells to attack tumors. The PI believes that a successful strategy can be implemented by identifying specific chemicals that will selectively potentiate the therapeutic effects of the Tumor necrosis factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL). Unlike other TNF-family members, TRAIL is a powerful and safe cancer therapeutic because it can induce broad spectrum apoptosis of different cancer cells but not normal cells. Unfortunately many cancer cells have proven to be resistant to TRAIL alone.
The goal of this project is confirm the results of the primary screen for chemical compounds that selectively sensitize TRAIL-resistant tumor cells to the extrinsic apoptosis pathway activated by TRAIL, without affecting other cell death pathways and normal cells. These compounds would provide useful research tools for interrogating mechanisms of TRAIL-resistance, and they also might serve as the basis for future drug development programs to create a new generation of non-toxic anticancer drugs that restore sensitivity to endogenous pathways used by the immune system for eradicating tumors.
This assay was developed and performed to confirm hits originally identified in "uHTS for the identification of compounds that potentiate TRAIL-induced apoptosis of cancer cells" (AID 1443) and to study the structure-activity relationship on analogs of the confirmed hits in TRAIL-resistant MCF7 cells. Compounds are either acquired from commercial sources or synthesized internally.
The TRAIL-resistant cell line, MCF7 is used, because we would like to determine if compounds can potentiate TRAIL-mediated cytotoxicity not only in TRAIL-sensitive PPC-1 carcinoma cells(AIDs 1443 and 1624) but also in TRAIL-resistant cells.

Assay materials:
1) MCF7 cells and TRAIL were provided by the assay provider
2) ATPLite (Perkin Elmer)
Cytotoxicity assay protocol:
Day 1
1) TRAIL-resistant MCF7 cells are grown in DMEM, 10% FBS, 4.5 g/l glucose, 2mM L-glutamine, 1mM Na-pyruvate, 15ug/ml gentamycin (DMEM/10%FBS). Cells are harvested at 80-90% confluency.
2) Cells are then seeded into a 96 well plate (Corning #3595) at a concentration of 2-3 x 10^3 cells/well in 80ul and incubated for 24 hours at 37 oC in a CO2 incubator to obtain 30-40% of confluence.
Day 2
1) Add 10 ul of compound or DMSO to wells to obtain 1.25-5 uM (final concentration which refers to 100 ul of solution per well).
2) Incubate cells 4 hours at 37 oC in a CO2 incubator.
3) Add 10 ul of TRAIL in PBS without Mg2+ and Ca2+ (total volume of solution per well is 100 ul) or 1% NaN3 (100% cytotoxicity). The measured value of 100% cytotoxicity is the background for measurement and is subtracted from all values.
4) Incubate cells for an additional 24 hours at 37 oC in a CO2 incubator.
Day 3
1) Add 12 ul of ATPlite reagent to each well and shake plate for 30 min at room temperature.
2) Read luminescence using a SpectraFluor Plus (Tecan) (integration time= maximum, gain=150).
Compounds in this assay were considered to be active if the cytotoxicity of TRAIL in the presence of the compound is greater than the sum of the cytotoxicity of the compound and the cytotoxicity of TRAIL separately at all three concentrations of compound(1.25, 2.5 and 5.0 uM).
Activity scoring rules were devised to take into consideration compound efficacy, its potential interference with the assay and the screening stage that the data was obtained. Details of the Scoring System will be published elsewhere. Briefly, the outline of the scoring system utilized for the PMI assay is as follows:
1) First tier (0-40 range) is reserved for primary screening data and is not relevant in this assay.
2)Second tier (41-80 range) is reserved for dose-response confirmation data and is not applicable to this assay
3) Third tier (81-100 range) is reserved for resynthesized true positives and their analogues
Compounds that are inactive in this assay are assigned a score of 81
Compounds that are active in this assay are assigned a score of 90

Extreme couponers have nothing on me.
They may have their own television show and purchase $200 worth of groceries for $2, but I grow much of my family's food for pennies. Plus, for no money, my yard is full of stunning flowers and a landscape that stops traffic.
After living through two deep recessions in the 1980's, I became the ultimate extreme gardener. You can, too, in these times of financial turmoil. It's easy to turn garbage into fertilizer, recycle yard refuse and reuse found items in the garden.
Big Money Savers
Compost your kitchen and yard waste for nutrients that make every plant thrive organically. Fertilizer is pricey, because it's usually made from petroleum and synthetic chemical compounds. Organic fertilizers are a combination of kelp, fish and cotton meals, which are even more expensive. Simply layer fresh green waste with brown matter such as straw, dried lawn clippings and dead vegetation. Don't use grass clippings from turf that has herbicides applied to it. Clippings retain herbicides for up to two years that kill plants. See this video on how to compost.
I have a composter at my kitchen back door so I can easily dump kitchen scraps, even when there's a foot of snow on the ground.
Autumn leaves are the best mulch and are free. After you rake them up into piles, run the lawn mower over them to shred the leaves. Apply to all beds, especially ones in the vegetable garden. Mulch shrubs and fruit bushes, too. A six-to-eight-inch layer is optimal. Not only do you have free mulch that looks good, but it decomposes slowly, adding nutrients to the soil. If you don't have enough fallen leaves, ask neighbors for theirs. Grass clippings are also excellent mulch, breaking down like leaves do. Again, avoid clippings from turf treated with herbicides. See more about mulch and low-maintenance landscaping.
Gorgeous fall foliage is a pot of gold for gardeners.
Fireplace ashes are free fruit tree fertilizer. The potash in wood ash is used by trees for fruit production. Scatter ashes around the root zone area of each tree, and then add mulch. Blackberries, raspberries and grapes also benefit from ash applications. If you burn paper in the fireplace, avoid using ash from colored, slick paper and colored newsprint. Color inks contain heavy metals that could end up in the fruit.
Household garbage is free food for roses, rhododendrons, azaleas and acid-soil-loving perennials. Bury over-ripe bananas and their skins at the base of plants. Scratch into surrounding the soil coffee grounds and tea bags. Bananas are powerhouses of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, elements flowering plants crave. Coffee and tea acidify soil, promoting the uptake of more nutrients by plant roots.
Three Freebies
Let annual flowers, vegetables and herbs drop their seeds in beds. Next spring, they will sprout and grow into sturdy plants. Most will come true to variety, but hybrids won't. You may find an interesting tomato, pumpkin or petunia in your garden!
When the first freeze comes, I let the marigolds dry up and drop their seeds. I open the peppers and spread their seeds, too. They'll sprout next spring and grow into free plants!
Hang those CD's and DVD's you get in the mail and ones you no longer use on fruit trees. The laser-etched surface on the disks projects prisms of sharp light that move constantly, spooking birds and squirrels that want to feast on ripening fruit.
Make instant pea fencing by gathering large twigs and small branches pruned from shrubs and trees. Big twigs make great plant props for gladiolas, iris and lilies, too.

Hey guys. Don't have any real dolphin friends. Looked for a good forum to rant about MIA. Hope this is the right place.
Anyway my name is Darius and like the rest of you ive been sadly taking every sunday one at a time so I don't get to stressed.
Right now my favorite players are cameron wake and vontae Davis even though both have disappeared this year.
ALSO I play video games on XBL and pc. So if you want to get the gaming on let me know.

In 1971, Congress declared our wild horses and burros an integral part of our public rangelands and ordered the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to care for them as cultural icons. Over the years, the BLM has rounded up tens of thousands of our wild equines, often with cruel methods, and shipped them to tax-funded holding facilities where they are confined for the rest of their lives.
The BLM is again looking to apply the same failed model of round-ups and removals in revised management plans for wild horses out West. These plans must be altered.
If adopted, these management plans would decimate the wild horse population in the Wyoming Checkerboard, a two-million-acre mix of public and private land where nearly half of Wyoming's wild horses live. This is certainly not the free-roaming vision Congress set out for these majestic animals.
The good news is that you can help! The BLM is accepting public comments through Friday, September 27, on the potentially devastating revisions to Resource Management Plans that will cull wild horses in Wyoming.
Please be a voice for our wild horses before their time runs out. Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center right now to quickly contact the BLM. Urge the agency to adopt policies that give horses their fair share of habitat and keep them on the range where they belong.
On behalf of the horses, we thank you!
