President Barack Obama's proposed budget for the 2013 federal fiscal year when it comes to funding for NIH and NSF has respondents to a recent GEN poll divided. While 44.4% of respondents replied "not much" to the question "How helpful do you think President Obama's proposed budget is to NIH and NSF," slightly more than half of respondents viewed the spending plan more favorably, answering either "somewhat" (29.6%) or "very" (22.2%). The remaining 3.7% was undecided.
Obama froze NIH funding at current fiscal year's levels: $30.702 billion in discretionary budget authority from Congress and $30.86 billion in overall program level funding. While Obama's NIH proposal has disappointed advocates of greater federal research funding, the president and HHS say they did their best to balance the desire to fund basic research with the need to contain federal spending. NIH will spend more on NCATS and other programs that support translational medicine. President Obama would raise discretional budget authority for NSF by 4.8%, though total program outlays would fall 9%.

September is an important month for the Arctic. As the midnight sun begins to set and summer draws to a close, the melt of the Arctic sea ice cover grinds to a halt and the annual 'sea ice minimum' is set – usually some time around mid-September.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ State Democratic Party officials say they aren't the ones who posted an ad on Craigslist looking for someone to run for U.S. Senate next year.
Party spokeswoman Andrea White says the ad was placed on the Internet classified site by someone who obviously has a sense of humor. But she emphatically denied that the Kansas Democratic Party had anything to do with it.
No Democrats have declared their intent to compete for the seat being vacated by Republican Sam Brownback, who is running for governor.
Whichever Democrat steps forward will likely face a well-financed Republican opponent. U.S. Reps. Jerry Moran and Todd Tiahart are expected to square off in the GOP primary.

SOURCE: Rollyson, Carl. "AIDS." In Reading Susan Sontag: A Critical Introduction to Her Work, pp. 143-55. Chicago, Ill.: Ivan R. Dee, 2001.
In the following essay, Rollyson examines Sontag's short story "The Way We Live Now" and her book-length essay AIDS and Its Metaphors, comparing and contrasting the two, their respective critical appraisals, and includes some commentary on each by Sontag herself.
Stirred by the deaths of friends who had succumbed to a new, terrifying, and bewildering disease, Susan Sontag responded by writing two very different treatments of how AIDS attacked the health of individuals and society. Her story "The Way We Live Now" (1986) and book-length essay AIDS and Its Metaphors (1989) epitomize the way she has tried to bridge the gap between the dramatic and expository modes of her imagination. The story became an instant classic, reprinted...

What are identifiers? What purpose do they serve in the book industry?
According to BISG's Best Practices for Identifying Digital Products, an identifier is generally a sequence of alpha-numeric characters that unambiguosly differentiates one thing from another in a particular context.
But while that answer may seem straightforward enough, the fact is there's a lot more to identifiers than one might think.
The book industry employs numerous identifiers for different reasons in its day-to-day operations. This webcast will cover identifiers basics—what they are, how they are developed, and how and why they are used. Special focus will be given to the venerable ISBN and its use in today's digital marketplace, and the difference between the ISBN and proprietary product identifiers.
In this session, Phil Madans, Executive Director Digital Publishing Technology for Hachette Book Group, will discuss how to correctly use identifiers to ensure your books reach the hands of happy readers.
This is the second in a three-part series, co-produced by IBPA and hosted by BISG, aimed at demystifying several of the core book industry standards through "101"-style sessions presented by experts in the field.

Chipley, FL- The Washington County Sheriff's Office is warning residents about a phone scam involving the department itself.
"In the last few days we've received complaints about people calling them representing the Sheriff's Department and telling these people they have civil papers for them, " said Washington County Sheriff Bobby Haddock.
Haddock said the fake deputy then tells the victim to call a "1-800" phone number, where they're asked for personal information like social security numbers and birth dates.
"That's a form of phishing information from you where they can obtain that information and do an identity theft," said Sheriff Haddock.
Authorities said if you think you're on the phone with a scammer, first check the caller ID, then ask the person who they are, what department they work for, and why they need your personal information.
"If they steal your personal information, they can do multiple accounts, and multiple credit cards and buy things and thousands and thousands of dollars is going against your credit," said Sheriff Haddock.
If you've already given your information, you still have time to freeze your accounts.
"You can do that and that way nobody can look at anything or get anything or buy anything in your name," said Sheriff Haddock.
You can also prevent these types of calls by putting your phone number on the Florida and national "Do Not Call" lists.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office never serves civil papers, like foreclosure notices, or ever asks for any personal information, over the phone.

'Potentially Historic' Winter Storm Nemo Forecast to Hit Northeast
Posted on Feb 7, 2013
More than 1,800 flights have been canceled in anticipation of a ferocious winter storm that's expected to pound the Northeast beginning Friday. The storm, a combination of two systems colliding, could create a blizzard of historic proportions in the region.
The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning for New York City and surrounding areas that will go into effect at 6 a.m. on Friday.
The weather system, dubbed "Winter Storm Nemo," is expected to hit Massachusetts especially hard.

Mental Health News: Effective Counseling Skills Second Edition Released
The online College of Mental Health Counselling announces the 2012 release of the expanded second edition of the practical training and examination manual "Effective Counseling Skills: the practical wording of therapeutic statements and processes."
The practical skills and concepts distilled in the present form, are the contributions of countless colleagues and clients who over the years have challenged the creative energies of the author.
Since the release of the first edition, the author has written brief practical articles on fourteen topics related to skills and approaches to common problems. These are presented in Appendix Two: Skills and Approaches To Common Life Challenges.
This additional section has been prepared as ready-to-use content addressing common life problems and challenges. Topics include grief, depression, marital difficulties, domestic abuse, infidelity, conflict and communication problems, sexual abuse, suicide, death and dying, anger, loss of caring parents, and addiction. The articles in this section can be used freely without alteration, as handouts in workshops or seminars delivered to schools, church or religious groups, hospital staff, and other educational and training events and venues.
This content is also available separately in a volume entitled Counseling In A Book: Help For Common Life Problems with the addition of a Life Story Questionnaire to facilitate self-awareness and healing, and a series of ten empathy lessons prepared for the classroom, workplace, and personal relationships.
The value and success of a counseling practice depend upon the quality of service provided to the public. If the client or referral source can easily and readily perceive the usefulness of counseling approaches and services, word-of-mouth referrals will occur and prospective clients will inquire about counseling. When clients are not appearing, counselors in private practice use the time to make their services known to the public and to referral sources.
The contents of this second edition volume provide articles that can be used to communicate areas of practice and that impress upon prospective clients the benefits of counseling. Appendix Two gives the text of practical articles for issues and problems commonly seen in counseling. The author suggests that the articles can be sent out periodically, depending on the counselor's areas of practice, with the addition of the counselor's own contact information so that referring persons and clients can easily connect with the counselor.
Without permission needed from the author, the complete articles can be circulated individually or added to a newsletter delivered by email or regular mail. To respect intellectual property rights, the author only requires that each complete article be used without abridgment, alteration, or editing of any kind. Effective Counseling Skills is designed to achieve the primary purpose of making counseling skills public knowledge in the belief that the health of society is improved when counseling is known to the most people.
The style of the manual is conversational with numerous examples of the wording of therapeutic statements. Major topic areas in the main content include an explanation of the client's personal history, suicide prevention, how to begin and deepen the counseling process, helping the client learn healthy ways of relating, moving the client from childhood to maturity, skills for healing grief, and working with couples who want to make progress with issues of conflict, infidelity, addiction, and other common problems.
Practical ways to build and manage a counseling practice are presented. A detailed index and table of contents make the volume easy to use as a guide for both the practitioner as well as people seeking help.
After completing an MSW degree at the Kent School of Social Work in 1977, the author gained clinical experience in counselling and psychotherapy in hospital and private practice settings. He began the Counsellor Training Institute in 1985 expanding to five cities, and founded the Canadian Professional Counsellors' Association. Currently he is President of the Online College of Mental Health Counselling providing counsellor training for the general public for personal development and entry to the counselling profession.
Recent student comments on how they benefitted can be seen here http://www.ctihalifax.com/
Other titles by the author include Grow Your Counseling Practice, Counseling In A Book, Loss and Grief Counseling Skills, and Learn Empathy.

Skip to comments.Freep a Poll! (obama v. Romney, if election was today, who would you vote for?)
Posted on 04/20/2012 2:18:20 PM PDT by dynachrome
The presidential election is in full swing, with both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama amassing millions of dollars for their campaigns. If the election were held today, who would you vote for?
Barack Obama
Mitt Romney
(Excerpt) Read more at kvoa.com ...
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
The web sites of these local affiliate stations are WORTHLESS. Too much animation and graphic crap. They never load. Ugh!!
None of the above.
Sarah Palin
She's my choice. (sigh)
Not voting as my choice is not on the poll.
Duncan Hunter
81.2% Romney
18.8% Obama
The Messiah only has 57 votes. :-))
I think we can assume that one or more Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court will retire within the next four years (and not necessarily one of the activists). With Obama you can be certain that he'll appoint more liberals. At least, we can hope that won't be the case with Willard. For that reason alone, I'd vote for Willard. Believe me, I'd rather be thrown into a pit of vipers!
Heck of a choice. ugh.
Not really. The complete and final destruction of our country and freedoms vs. a second chance to right the ship, albeit with a less than ideal candidate. A dictator vs. a president. Take your pick.
A good and reasoned approach. Just imagine the incalculable damage two more liberal Supreme Court justices could do. There would simply be no recovery from that.
Voting Romney.
The Supreme Court issue alone scares the daylights out of me.
I voted against O'Bunghole. looks like the DUs have finished sleeping it off and found the poll.
Barack Obama 85 votes22.5%
Mitt Romney 292 votes77.5%
for the first time in my life...
write-in candidate:
and anything else that would help remove the progressive establishment from every nook & cranny in or around our nations gov't
Had they included Newt, I would have voted for him.
So, I voted for Obama. Now I have to shower and get this vomit out of my mouth..
90 votes22.8%****** One of those votes is mine. Screw this poll.
304 votes77.2
Might I make a suggestion?
Between now and the election, everyone go to every poll they can find, and start pushing 0bambi. If conservatives, as a very large group, could successfully do this, it would completely decimate the credibility of pollsters at election time. Polls showing 0babmi up by 30 points over Mittens would, at least after while, start people looking askance at the polls and pollsters.
If I could do anything of substance in my life (besides raising two great kids) it would be to so damage the credibility of pollsters as to put them out of business so we would never again see "news" based on, or about, polls.
Therein lies the beauty of the Firefox browser with the AdBlock-Plus add-in. 90% (at least) of the ads - gone.
Yeah, not much to choose from. But given the two choices, the answer is pretty clear — ABO!
At last weekend's National Rifle Association convention, Ted Nugent referred to what he called President Obama's "evil, America-hating administration" and urged NRA members to "to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November."
Nugent also said if Obama were re-elected, "I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year."
A Secret Service spokesman confirmed that the agency was following-up on the issue but would not give details.
Do you think the Pima County Fair should cancel Ted Nugent's scheduled performance?
Yes: 29%
No: 70%
Undecided: 1%
Total Responses: 253
They pulled the Nuge from a Ft. Knox concert. PC cowards.
126 votes25.0%
377 votes75.0%
If he'd said that about Bush they would have given him the key to the city and named a street after him.
You can hope. However, is track record on judges is a mirror image of Zero's.
Mitt Romney
384 votes
Barack Obama
127 votes
I voted and if that is the November slate
I will be voting for Romney...anyone but OBAMA
That is a bad idea. Far more people than you might think will vote for whoever they think is going to win. And large numbers of voters will not get to the polls if they think the cause is lost.
White Obama or Black Obama....hmmmm.....That's a tough one!
she could have run and chose NOT TO...
so a write in is a wasted vote...
guess you want Hussein for another four years.
The OLD one or the Young one???
Duncan Hunter...much too weak to be POTUS
He wouldn't have been if ore people got behind him.
Sarah Palin.
You forget that the next president's picks to the Supreme Court will have to run the gauntlet through a Republican dominated Congress.
Given that both Obama and Romney have a warm soft spot in their hearts for far left liberal judicial picks, who do you think would have the better chance of getting theirs confirmed by such a Congress?
What a waste of time.
Yeah, because he's got such a great record of picking solid conservatives to serve on the bench .. rolls eyes
My cat could beat them both.
And you think Romney is going to be any different? Hell, if elected, he's going to cement Obama's agenda down to the bedrock of this republic.
I'd rather have an avowed enemy in front of me, than a quisling traitor behind me any day.
Hunter wasn't running for president, he was retiring after 28 years and wanted the donations and the national publicity to guarantee that the seat stayed in the family, the seat is still held by a Duncan Hunter.
Duncan Hunter, name recognition.
but we have got to stop OBAMA and Democrats completely...
There will be NO America as we have known if OBama returns for four more years...
Romney is not my first choice but looks like he will be the GOP choice and I want Obama voted out....
Hunter was my Congressman, just as his son is now, what I was saying is that Hunter was not REALLY running for president, he was retiring, and was doing it as a multimillion dollar publicity campaign for name recognition, to guarantee that the family seat stayed assured against the Navy SEAL that was trying to take it.
Hunter had never shown any talent or desire for winning office outside of this safe district, and he sure was not expecting to suddenly develop the charisma to become President of the United States, after 28 years he was retiring to a life of leisure, not a sudden, political breakout into greatness and global significance.
I vote for his son as I voted for him, but I found the whole exercise troubling, is a congressional seat supposed to be the family business for multi-generations, passed down generation after generation, occasionally going national to raise many millions of dollars from unsuspecting voters nationally, for purely local, self serving, purposes?
I lost some respect for Hunter in 2008.
Eight years for Romney, then eight years for his rino veep.
Rinos already control our legislative leadership, and obviously the party.
16 years of rinos in the presidency will pretty much finish off the conservative movement that Mitt Romney wants revenge against, and the tea party that they all hate so much.
I find that very deceitful to run only to get money...
that is a prime example to what is happening to the Republican Party...time for a NEW Party and the sooner the better...by the way I live all the way across this great land in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
Don't like Romney, but BO is a vile and detestable marxist pig.

Paul McGinley, the man who led Team Europe to a 16.5-11.5 victory at the 2014 Ryder Cup, has officially joined Twitter.
Using the handle @mcginleygolf, McGinley sent out his first tweet on Friday morning.
Maybe most impressively, McGinley's account was verified by noon on Friday and he already had more than 2,000 followers.
The question lingers about how McGinley will use his new outlet. It would be great to see him follow in some other golfer's footsteps and have some fun on social media.

Best Uses
It was on sale so I thought I'd order a few for my son and a few other little boys. It is a little flimsy, so best not to have around those younger than 3 (choking hazard). For the price, can't be beat. My son was thrilled with it. I think it would make an excellent favor at a boys birthday party, or an elementary school function about fire safety. The decorative stickers on the truck are very detailed.

People keep asking why a few of us are defending Rafa all the time, well its quite simple, you look after your own. He might not be the first choice of all of us neither may many of the players be but they are our players and he is our manager so we support them. We are having a poor season and the players, the manager, the coaching staff and the board as well as the media have all played their part so media aside it is the jobs of all of them to put it right. As we all know, top 4 is the minimum requirement for this club and if we dont acheive it then perhaps his position should be reviewed then.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Hey, I'm Jessica!
Fort Worth, Texas, United States · Member since September 2011
My husband Richard and I live in Fort Worth, Texas with our 2 cats. Although he is an IT guy and she is a writer/editor by trade, we both currently work in the oil and gas business, and have been married for almost 4 years. We are foodies and readers, love music and obviously enjoy traveling. He plays soccer in his spare time, and she runs and loves yoga. This year we've be lucky enough to live in New Orleans, visit both coasts, Colorado and Yellowstone Park. We are hoping to go to Uruguay to visit my husband's family and Russia to visit friends next year. Every day brings a new adventure.

Dan Brown (born June 22 1964) is an international bestselling author. He is best known for his novel The Da Vinci Code which presents controversial information about Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
Dan was raised in Exter, New Hampshire the eldest of three children. He attended the prestigious…more
Dan Brown's all-time favorites films are: Fantasia, Life is Beautiful, Annie Hall, Indiana Jones, the Pink Panther series and Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet.
According to himself he is born to write thrillers.
Dan grew up surrounded by the paradoxical philosophies of science and religion. This is what compelled him to write his fictious works on these topics and subjects.
Dan Brown has made appearances on CNN, The Today Show, National Public Radio, Voice of America, as well as in the pages of Newsweek, Forbes, People, GQ, The New Yorker, and other news networks and newspapers.
Thanks to Dan Brown's donation of $2.2 million, Phillips Exeter Academy had a market value of $706 million, and the largest endowment of any school in the U.S.
Dan's wife Blythe-an art history buff and painter-collaborates on his research and accompanies him on his frequent research trips, such as a trip to Paris where they visited the Louvre for Dan's thriller, The Da Vinci Code.
In 1995 Dan Brown and Blythe Newlon wrote A Guide For The Romantically Frustrated Woman. This was done under the supervision of Danielle Brown, who had previously written 187 Men To Avoid.
Dan Brown's father, a math teacher, has won the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching, before retirement.
Dan has had two lawsuits filed against him for plagiarism regarding the 2003 novel The Da Vinci Code.
The Da Vinci Code, his world-famous bestseller, was the first to reach success and be adapted into a film. However it is actually the sequel to the book Angels & Demons; also starring the character Robert Langdon.
In 2005 Dan Brown made Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people of the year.
Dan married Blythe Newlon in 1997. She is 12 years his senior. Together they have two children.
Although some claim Brown's books such as The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons are anti-Christian, Brown himself is a Christian who says the controversy inspires " the discussion and debate of this subject will ultimately lead to a more solidly defended faith."
Dan Brown: (about what his favorite music is) I've recently become hooked on the Spanish singer Franco de Vita. I also listen to The Gypsy Kings, Enya, Sarah Mclachlan, and (if I'm feeling old) the very young and talented songwriter Vanessa Carlton.
Dan Brown: Until I graduated from college, I had read almost no modern commercial fiction at all (having focused primarily on the "classics" in school). In 1994, while vacationing in Tahiti, I found an old copy of Sydney Sheldon's Doomsday Conspiracy on the beach. I read the first page… and then the next…and then the next. Several hours later, I finished the book and thought, "Hey, I can do that." Upon my return, I began work on my first novel-- Digital Fortress -- which was published in 1996.
Dan Brown: (about being a really simple guy) It's who I am. I'm not really a pretender. I like complicated ideas presented in a fun way. My best teachers were the teachers that made learning fun. There are hundreds of books that deal with the topic of The Da Vinci Code that are pretty hard to read. And here's one that isn't.
Dan Brown: (about what kind of movies he likes) I like it all. I might see a couple a week. I'm not a fan of horror. I never go to that. I see all kind of movies. I'm always fascinated by the way different people tell stories. And even from a terrible movie I can learn a lot about what doesn't work.
Dan Brown: This character Robert Langdon has a fascination for all the things that interest me. It will be through this character that I expand my own understanding of the world. I'll just sort of share it with readers as I go. And I will not be one of those authors who turns out a book every seven months because I've suddenly hired a team of 30 people to write with me. I don't work that way.
Dan Brown: (about if he considers himself a conspiracy theorist) Absolutely not. In fact, I'm quite the opposite-more of a skeptic. I see no truth whatsoever in stories of extraterrestrial visitors, crop circles, the Bermuda Triangle, or many of the other "mysteries" that permeate pop culture. However, the secret behind The Da Vinci Code was too well documented and significant for me to dismiss.
Dan Brown: (about how he spends his money) You know what, my wife and I have simple tastes. We really feel our life needs to stay as normal as possible. We travel a lot, but we always have. We enjoy antiques but we always have. A lot of the money's going to charity. My father's an educator. I grew up a teacher, certainly education is important. I'm a member of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America and I have a little brother that I see all the time, and I'm sure we'll want to help them out.
Dan Brown: The first interesting thing is, I travel a lot for my work, and every time I'm on an airplane there are four or five people reading my book. (Laughs) So a few times I've had to sit next to people who are reading The Da Vinci Code who may or may not recognize me. I often like to say, ''Is that thing any good?'' Just see what they think, maybe engage them in a conversation a little bit about the book without giving them any idea who I am. That's always fun.
Dan Brown: (about what's his celebrity like) On one hand, it's wonderful. It affords you opportunities that you never had before -- I don't mean in a financial sense. It just means you have access to an enormous number of fascinating people with fascinating ideas. At the same time, I have much less privacy. I'm recognized often. And there are intrusions to privacy that are a challenge. But nothing good comes without challenges.
Dan Brown: (about what kind of books he read when he was young) I read fiction as a kid. I read all the Hardy Boys series, and I also was an enormous fan of movies. And so I think through reading a lot of fiction as a kid, and also being a fan of the craft of storytelling as told through the movies, I think a lot of that shows through [in my work]. I also have a short attention span. And one of the reasons I don't read fiction is because I can't really get through it. [Laughs] If I'm not learning, I'm usually not engaged, so I like fiction that teaches. All I really set out to do when I write a book is to write the kind of book that I would like to read. And that is my only goal. Write a book that you, Dan Brown, would enjoy reading. Then I just hope other people will share my taste.
Dan Brown: (about how much research he does when he's writing a book) I would say 60 percent of the effort for Da Vinci Code went into the research. And that's pretty much the same for all of my books. I don't read fiction. Which I realize sounds a little bizarre, but I read almost exclusively nonfiction books for my research.
Dan Brown: It's important for authors to use the Web responsibly. More than half the information out there is garbage. It's very important to realize that just because it's on the Web doesn't mean that it's a fact. I like to use the Web as an inspirational tool to get ideas and then when you actually go to do your research get your actual information elsewhere. There are some major books that were published and had to be edited later because of faulty research. Anybody with a computer can post a webpage and tell you that they know everything about everything.
Dan Brown: The all-time best "gift book" has to be a leather-bound copy of the Oxford English Dictionary. How can you go wrong?
Dan Brown: In many ways, editing yourself is the most important part of being a novelist.. carving away superfluous text until your story stands crystal clear before your reader.
Dan Brown: If you ask three people what it means to be Christian, you will get three different answers. Some feel being baptized is sufficient. Others feel you must accept the Bible as immutable historical fact. Still others require a belief that all those who do not accept Christ as their personal savior are doomed to hell. Faith is a continuum, and we each fall on that line where we may. By attempting to rigidly classify ethereal concepts like faith, we end up debating semantics to the point where we entirely miss the obvious-that is, that we are all trying to decipher life's big mysteries, and we're each following our own paths of enlightenment. I consider myself a student of many religions. The more I learn, the more questions I have. For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work in progress.
Dan Brown: I spend my life essentially alone at a computer. That doesn't change. I have the same challenges every day.
Dan Brown: I suppose discussing books in the classroom also helps me analyze good fiction and incorporate similar themes into my own work.
Dan Brown: No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true.
Dan Brown: One of the hardest things to teach a child is that the truth is more important than the consequences.
Dan Brown: Suggesting a married Jesus is one thing, but questioning the Resurrection undermines the very heart of Christian belief.
Dan Brown: If I'm not at the desk at 4am, I feel like I'm missing out on my most productive hours. in addition to starting early, I keep an antique hour glass on my desk and every hour have a break to do pushups, situps and some quick stretches. I feel this keeps the blood and the ideas flowing. I'm also a big fan of gravity boots. Hanging upside down seems to help me solve plot challenges by shifting my entire perspective.

Re: Kohl's Success!!
I was wondering if someone could pm me the info as well for getting my kohls deleted. It is the only thing negative on my credit and is hurting my score of over 100 points. I am trying to purchase my first home but my score is not enough to help my husband co-sign and I need it off ASAP. I have called corporate and emailed and faxed GW letters to corporate, what I think was the CEO's email, and the person in charge of all financial and customer relations. Corporate/Credit offices denied it. I recieved an email back from the secretary of the director of financial and customer relations denying it too. No word back from the address I thought to be the CEO. Please if you could forward that I would appreciate it so very much!!!

KeywordGravitational collapse structures; Listric and reverse faults; Pleistocene pluvials; Pleistocene erosion; Tilted blocks
The desertic Theban hills between the edge of the alluvial plain of the Nile and the prominent cliffs at the eastern edge of the Theban Plateau consist of imbricated tilted blocks organized in parallel groups representing successive generations of gravitational collapse structures (or slumps). The older (distal) generations correspond to low, rounded hills farther from the Theban cliffs. The youngest (proximal) generation forms higher hills with young relief. Reverse faults occur at the contact between proximal and distal tilted blocks whereas the proximal tilted blocks rest along listric faults on the substratum (Tarawan Chalk and Esna Shale Formations) and against the Theban cliffs. We hypothesize that the emplacements of the tilted blocks were related to major Pleistocene pluvial episodes, each marked by active flow of the Nile River and significant recess of the Theban cliffs. Tectonic thinning and intensive erosion of the Esna Shale Formation were determinant in shaping the Theban landscape.

Football Schedules
Horns will win all three of their Thursday games, but will lose when they play at BYU.
Oops, they only play two.
Texas-TCU is not on Thanksgiving Day this year ?
This is a schedule of games that have been moved to weeknights. Texas/ TCU was announced as a Thanksgiving Day game from the get go.
Interesting that they say Fox when Fox Sports 1 is the network that announced a Thursday night package. I bet it should say Fox Sports 1 or ESPN.
Shouldn't that be TCU vs Tech on September 12?
U forgot,
Iowa St @ Tulsa, Thursday Sept 26th.
Tantalizing midweek selection. Very surprised that UT agreed to play at Iowa State on a Thursday. Even though it's early October, the Longhorns whined and moaned every time they had to come to Nebraska and play in a little sleet. And after Okie State lost at ISU on a Friday, why would risk ISU pulling the upset on a week night?
UT-TTech is a great Thanksgiving night choice today, as good as UT-TCU.
Texas is overrated. Now they fell behind A@M ang their fans are in a panic. The Big 12 is unwatchable.
Its funny to see Aggie fans fall all over themselves to jump on the bandwagon when they are up and Texas is down. This happened before during the 80's and early 90's. Texas is not infallible, the run they were just on was amazing but it was going to stop eventually. Kudos to you guys finally making the right coaching hire, that more than the move to the SEC is why Texas A&M is up right now. But don't act like you guys are the Kings of Texas, you'll just be fooling yourselves again. The Horns will be back, and you will be second fiddle again.

Ripped from the headlines, it's Charlie Shein's Vegas Porn Star Party, a recreation of one TV actor's long, long, lost weekend. Charlie Shein's Vegas Porn Star Party is an original parody, composed of entirely new scenes recreating Charlie's vacation of pleasure and porn stars. It's a simple, old-fashioned story: when superstar Charlie Shein heads to the porn convention in Vegas, the party rages non-stop, leading to a chance meeting with his favorite porn star, Brianna Wholesome (Tara Lynn Foxx), which culminates in a no-holes-barred orgy in his hotel suite. This package also includes a Charlie's Girls full DVD of scenes starring the real girls linked to Charlie Sheen, including Bree Olson, Kacey Jordan, Jenna Presley, Tabitha Stevens and Felony, so you get two movies in one package!!! Winning!

My CBST sits over my kidney at about 7 o'clock. (I'm left handed.) It took a couple days to break it in, but now I hardly notice it's there. I regularly fall asleep on the couch with the CBST and SA XD sub 9 and only start getting uncomfortable if its a 3 hour nap or longer.
I carry day in and day out (no rules at work to forbid it) with a tucked in shirt and no one the wiser. I was in slacks and a tucked dress shirt and asked a friend to find the gun and he still couldn't.
I LOVE my CBST. And their service is EXCELLENT.

AbstractThe pursuit for targeted drug delivery systems has led to the development of highly improved biomaterials with enhanced biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. Micro- and nanoscale components of hydrogels prepared from both natural and artificial components have been gaining significant importance due to their potential uses in cell based therapies, tissue engineering, liquid micro-lenses, cancer therapy, and drug delivery. In this review some of the recent methodologies used in the preparation of a number of synthetic hydrogels such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), polyvinyl alcohol methylacrylate co-polymers (PVA-MA) and polylactic acid (PLA), as well as some of the natural hydrogels and their applications have been discussed in detail.
