I read some of the comments about the 2013 survey. Yes, it is a bit simple and so on, but it is an opportunity to start the conversation off rather that simply saying "give us some money". They do offer some small trees that might be valuable to contributors. Instead of "bad mouthing" the organization, I consulted Guidestar that offers in-depth information about a million charitable organizations. Based on the 2012 IRS Form 990 The National Arbor Day Foundation supports many good causes, their officers are not overpaid and their administrative costs are reasonable. The total administrative and fund raising expenses total about 10%, which is reasonable. I have seen instances of what appear to be worthwhile organizations with great sounding titles, yet they spend 25%-30% or more of their total expense budget with a contract service to solicit funds. The description of the worthwhile contributions this organization supports are well worth public support. Enough said!

I recently received a mailing labeled as the 2013 New Jersey Tree Survey. Seriously packaged, complete with a "Participant Number" on the front. But the survey itself was just 16 silly questions... things like "Have you ever climbed a tree?" It was obviously an attempt to tug the heart strings and package a fund-raising pitch as something else. That duplicity bothered me enough to consult GuideStar.
I might have responded well to something more direct and honest, and seeing that others felt the same way, I decided to write this review. There's more than a little irony when an organization dedicated to saving trees sends such a paper-intense communication, which included a calendar, various coupons and personalized return address labels. Please!

Treat your potential contributors like grown-ups. If you want to take a survey, take a REAL survey. See Consumer Reports. If you want money, just ask for it. Tell me why you need it, and ask for it.

I was a former donor to National Arbor Day Foundation and still believe that it serves a worthy cause. However, I was a bit disappointed in their recent mailing to me (2013 Forest Survey - Texas) that indicated that I had "been selected as part of a representative sampling of Texas residents to participate in this year's survey." Additionally, to "thank me" I would receive 4 free gifts. The survey was very shallow and was important to their donation marketing, I suppose (my demographics, whether I visited forests or National Parks, whether I thought the pecan was a good choice as Texas' state tree, etc.). I expected questions about how Texas was affected by the current drought, or whether I noticed signs of recovery from recent wildfires throughout the state. But, apparently it was mostly about the ten dollars that I would need to donate to get my "free gifts". I would rather have been asked to donate without the marketing survey disguised as a "forest survey," or at least, indicate clearly that their purpose is to survey to improve their marketing outreach. A forthright approach would have been much better. Their approach cost them my donation.

Duplicitous marketing. The net takeaway from their recent mailing was that it was somehow sanctioned by New York State; they used the state logo in their return address. They were also giving away "free" trees and plants, but they were available only if a donation was made. A legitimate organization wouldn't resort to such sleaze, in my opinion.

I have been a member of NADF for several years. I applaud the work that they do to restore our national forests devistated by wild fires. Their mission to plant and encourage others to plant is vital to our wild life and our protection of the environment.

We were passing through on our way to Wyoming and stopped in Provo. We had another motel in mind but they had no vacanies.That motel recommended Executive Inn. They must have the same owner because I don't see how anyone could recommend this motel. It was so dark and dingy. The bathroom was so bad, moldy and stained that I didn't even want to take a shower. We had a kitchenette but I don't believe anyone would ever want to use the fridge, sink or microwave. I wouldn't want to cook here. I almost didn't want to sleep on the bed thinking there'd be bugs jumping on me at night. This is absolutely the worst motel I ever stayed in. When we checked out in the morning the clerk came out in his pajamas! Do not stay here.

This was a great recipe! I did tweak it with the addition of a tsp of vanilla and a dash of nutmeg. Will make it again as my husband has already eaten a third of the cake!!
We made this for National Applesauce Cake Day at Day Care. I was looking for a simple recipe & This was easy for the kids to help with:) They could hardly wait to cut into it & it was still a little warm when they ate it !! It has a wonderful aroma from mixing to baking :) It's very moist and mild flavored so the kids really enjoyed it!! I am gluten free so I am going to try this recipe with the GF yellow cake mix so I get to enjoy it :)
Yummy !!! Delish!!! This cake was so moist and so easy to make. This is definitely a keeper. I used homemade applesauce that was made with brown sugar, aside from that I followed the recipe exactly as written. I baked it in a 13x9in pan for about 33 minutes instead of using a bundt pan. Thanks again.

AbstractWe will conduct research on nutrition and food intake regulation mechanism in hybrid striped bass. We will determine: 1) how dietary energy density, satiated feeding, energy-to-protein ratios, fish size, and temperature affect food and energy consumption rates; 2) how "high-energy" diets can improve growth and feed conversion; and 3) how these diets affect fish health, effluent water quality, and shelf life of the final product. We also will establish an energy expenditure budget for hybrid striped bass to determine the required dietary energy necessary for growth, metabolism, and excretion. This integrated approach should lead to feed management strategies that result in significantly better and more cost-effective production strategies that can result from typical nutritional studies which emphasize growth rates alone. With a better understanding of these factors, we will be able to develop diets and feeding regimes which will increase production yield, improve water quality and decrease the cost of commercially-raised hybrid striped bass. It is possible that the least cost solution may prove to be one in which the maximum sustainable biogain, the net increase in fish biomass (in kg of fish per day), will not require the rapid fish growth rates sought by many researchers and producers.

So, I've finally settled on a hunting rifle that I want from Bass Pro: a Savage bolt-action .308 with Nikon optics.
It's a nice rifle; trouble is, it's over $500. I'm thinking of parting ways with my 360 to buy it buy I'm not sure. I like my 360, but I haven't been playing it like I used to. To be honest, I'm kinda bored with it, but I'm worried that it's just a phase and that if I do sell it to buy the rifle I'll want another one.
Have any of you ever sold a console to buy something else you wanted?

From Fosse to a History of Funk
Movies for Music Lovers in this Week's Repertory Film
We Landed/I Was Born/Passing By:
New York's Chinatown
On Screen
Anthology Film Archives
32 Second Ave., (212) 505-5181
It was the last of the Chinatown theaters, a Bowery portal to all things chopsocky that showed double-bills for $6. The Music Palace shut down in 1999, but remains legend among the city's Asian film fanatics. This weekend series celebrates the movie house and other cultural aspects of Chinatown life from 1940 onward with an assortment of short films, readings, photography and performance. Besides Eric Lin's documentary "Music Palace," there are films by Gordon Matta-Clark, Jem Cohen, Lynne Sachs, Miao Jiaxin, Shelly Silver and others.
124 S. Third St., Brooklyn
Through Wednesday
An ongoing revival of classic and underground music documentaries heralds the new year. For punks, there's "Population: 1," starring Tomata du Plenty (of mid-1970s Los Angeles band The Screamers) in a dystopian fantasy, with cameos by Vampira, members of Los Lobos and a 12-year-old Beck. For Bjork fans, there's "Rock in Reykjavik," a compendium of the Icelandic rock scene, circa 1981. And for those who hate the music industry, there's "Sonic Outlaws," Craig Baldwin's film about the copyright dispute between Island Records and the art collective Negativland over their release "U2."
Stranger Than Fiction
IFC Center
323 Sixth Ave., (212) 924-7771
Tuesday–March 18
More cultural history is on screen as this nonfiction film series devotes its current season to a different music documentary each Tuesday. Author and filmmaker Nelson George is the special guest on opening night. He'll screen his new "Finding the Funk," which tracks the evolution and influence of a fundamental rhythmic form in African-American music. Questlove of the Roots narrates, connecting the dots between James Brown and hip-hop.
' Peter Brook:
The Tightrope'
30 Lafayette Ave., Brooklyn
(718) 636-4100
The title references not an actual tightrope but an invisible one. It's the name of an acting exercise led by the English theater director and filmmaker. Simon Brook, the artist's son, planted unseen cameras that capture a session in which actors walk that imaginary line with such conviction that they make it seem real. The exercise opens a window into the elder Brook's creative process. Father and son will appear at a sneak preview, and during the opening weekend of the film's theatrical run at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, which begins Jan. 31.
See It Big!
The Musicals
Of the Moving Image
36-01 35th Ave., Queens
(718) 777-6888
Friday–Feb. 28
A 14-film survey of great movie musicals leads off this weekend with Bob Fosse's "All That Jazz," featuring Roy Scheider in an Academy Award-nominated performance as pill-popping, womanizing choreographer Joe Gideon (a thinly veiled version of Fosse himself) in a razzle-dazzle fantasia modeled on Fellini's "8½." New York magazine critic Matt Zoller Seitz will introduce the screening. The weekend's other selections include the more wholesome "The Sound of Music" and Rouben Mamoulian's groundbreaking 1932 "Love Me Tonight."

I'm not about to sit here and criticize President Obama for sending military support into Libya to try and stop a crazed dictator from hurting his own people. That would be hypocritical on my part. I supported the war in Iraq primarily for the same reason.
Sure, there was the question of weapons of mass destruction and the idea of a long term threat somebody like Saddam posed. But, I was more interested in stopping the genocide he was committing against his own people.
The same thing is going on in Libya. But this time, those who opposed the Iraq war are supporting Obama's move to join our allies in enforcing a "no fly zone," and those who supported the decision to go into Iraq after 9-11, are being less than supportive.
And this whole thing about "a war for oil;" I wish it was, then I wouldn't be paying $3.50 a gallon.
It seems like just a couple of years ago when Libyan ruler, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, was warning the rest of the Middle East not to irritate America to the point of military intervention. He'd tried it before and it didn't turn out too well for him.
Apparently the slap down he took in the 1980s is fading from memory as he gets older and crazier. So it's time to put him in his place again.
I'm not so much concerned about our involvement over there, as I am concerned about our method.
Quite frankly, I'm not sure violence is the answer with these knucklehead rulers in the Middle East. The argument is often made, "violence is all they understand." Yes I agree. But they understand it so well it means nothing anymore. Bombs blowing up in the streets is kind of a way of life over there.
Allow me to suggest the introduction of the most vile thing I can think about. Something that truly borders on cruel and unusual. Drastic times call for drastic measures.
I would suggest we take over their airwaves - radio and television - and broadcast non-stop episodes of "Jersey Shore." That's right, I said it, give them a dose of the meatball soap opera. You want Muammar to throw his hands into the air in surrender, strap him into a chair and broadcast Snooki at him 24/7. That little shaved Ewok can make any man give up. After listening to Vinnie or The Situation butcher the English language for a couple of hours, Muammar will be willing to give up his rule in exchange for ear plugs.
It would just be nice for Jersey Shore to prove useful. At least make this group - the most no-talent celebrities thrown at America since Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie - do something to earn their fame.

ICU Care and ICU Environment
The ICU is an intensive *****d often chaotic work environment for nurses and patients alike. Some authors have described the ***** ***** as one where patients often enter in a state of physiological crisis; as such it is vital that nursing activities be structured in a m*****nner to promote rather than inhibit patient recovery (Cilik, et. al, 2004). Further most patients admitted to intensive care units are more likely to be d*****tressed, anxious and alarmed which may negatively impact recovery or their ability ***** sleep (Cilik, et. al, *****). Lack of sleep ***** other factors may affect patient outcomes.
It is increasingly important that nursing staff understand any and ********** factors contributing to positive or negative ***** outcomes within the ICU. Multiple studies ***** been conducted examining ***** effects of nursing care in the ICU and the ICU environment on patient ***** rates. From these studies researchers have determined a number of variables may influence patient recovery. Some positive factors identified include familial visitations, which ***** promote a ***** c*****ring, comfortable ***** relaxed environment within the ICU (Gonzales, et. al, 2004). In some cases however, ***** as in ***** case when children visit adults ***** an ICU environment, increasing tensions *****d anxiety may result (Clarke, 2000).

Hello Dr. Marvin,
I have a broken tooth that was previously a cavity. When I went to St. Joseph Dental clinic, I was told I have two options 1) root canal 2) extraction. Honestly, after all I have read about root canals, I have NO interest in getting one done. So, I have been halting off all procedures until I feel like I am making the best decision. I talked to a holistic dentist about my teeth, Dr. John P. Roeder (PA) and he basically said the same thing EXCEPT he acknowledged the downside of root canals causing chronic illness. So, now I am just STUCK and do not know what to do. I'm wondering if tooth extraction would be safer in the long run even though I would have to lose my tooth. What does you believe the best options are? Or is there anyone that you could direct me to in Pa? I live about 1.5 hours from the Philadelphia area. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dr, i'm having bad toothache, was molar infection & 2 options given by dentist. Extraction but it may affect next tooth which was also problem tooth. Which means I will potentially lost 2 if extraction. Root canal being 2nd option but was scared with the bad impact read. Need advice pls. Any good dentist to consult from Penang Malaysia pls. Tks. Belinda from Penang Malaysia.

I was wandering what are the causes of cracked teeth.
The causes of cracked teeth is tooth much force on the teeth. The tooth could also be weak or weakened due to drilling/filling. The tooth could also be out of proper position due to poor jaw growth or due to braces. The cause could also be due to poor structural alignment leading to abnormal jaw positions. In essence, there are many causes of cracked teeth. Go to a dentist that can diagnose and treat it properly.

I have decided on a compromised approch. I will have a root canal done on my molar (upper right, next to the rear molar) with gutta percha. Save my money and have it replaced with a Zirc implant within 2 years. Does this seem reasonable?

Dear Dr. Marvin,
I just done my Root canal second time on the same tooth, i haven't rad any of the information before, 1st time root canal they did with metal which causes pain and infection in 2 years, so here Dr suggest that i have to do it again, my concern is if i remove the tooth, what will be the problem i can face, as i feel i may have infection again in future, which will be more worst than not having the tooth.
Denise Says: February 15, 2012 at 3:12 pm
I just had root canal done on my front tooth, which showed signs of being dead about 5 years ago. It recently got really discolored, and it was DEFINITELY dead, so I decided on the root canal. Now I'm becoming nervous reading all of this stuff about health concerns due to root canals. Should I really be concerned?

What type of doctor/dentist can safely extract root canal teeth? After 17 years dependency on inhaled asthma steroids causing weakened bones and teeth, I've had 2 root canals due to cracked teeth. (I completely changed my diet 4 years ago and was dismayed that the diet changes eliminated my need for inhaled steroids. I stopped eating artificial ingredients, stopped drinking milk, started eating lots of fruits, vegetables, brown rice, beans etc. and less meat/poultry.) However, the steroid damage was done and I may experience more cracked teeth in the future no matter how careful I am. Regarding existing root canals, you emphasize that root canal removal must be done properly. Could you please explain? Thank you.
Renzo Tejada Says: January 12, 2011 at 8:26 pm
I am very concern about this root canal that i got done a year ago. I must say that right after i got this done my general health has decayed dramatically. I am going to pull this tooth off for sure I am just concerned of how much would it'd cost me to get a partial?

- VC funds drop by 12% in Jan - June 2016
CHENNAI: The fund tap for startups has not dried up yet, shows data from Xeler8, a startup data cruncher that uses machine learning to track and analyse over 400 companies in a week across 40 industries. The first half of 2016 saw record breaking deal activity with 654 deals as against 536 deals in July-December 2015 and 279 deals in Jan-June 2015. While the first half of 2016 saw VC interest drop by 12%, the report said entrepreneurs could take heart from the fact that over 60% of the deals in Q2 of 2016 were seed and angel investments, indicating investor confidence in the startup ecosystem. Jan-June 2016 saw number of deals and total investment size go up to 134% and 76% as compared to the same period last year. While Delhi NCR and Bangalore constituted 56 % of the total deal volume, several tier-2 locations like Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Chandigarh were seen as emerging destinations. Quarter 2 of 2016 (Apr – Jun 2016) saw 310 deals worth $1.5 billion, falling short of the earlier quarter's 344 deals worth $1.7 billion. Early stage deals were on a high accounting for over 200 deals of the 310 deals in the quarter. "The growing confidence of investors to bet high on early stage ventures has put more focus on startups to strive for best in class efforts to scale further," the report said. "There is no slowing down in our deal making since the beginning of the year. We are averaging slightly over a deal a month. The quality of deals we are seeing has gotten better, and more varied, but many are at the cusp of seed to early stage. Our investors seem to be looking for more proof of traction than these seed-to-early companies can show. As a result, the average size of our investments has gone down from last year. I think our deal size is poised to come back up, as heavy-hitter investors from last year are gearing up to re-engage", said Rajan Srikanth, co-president, Keiretsu Forum. Our deals are in healthcare, health-tech, fin-tech, edu-tech, and SaaS, he said. The last two quarters have also seen significant action in the M&A activity with over 88 deals. Multiple startups were active more than once in the M&A landscape. While Jan–March 2016 accounted for 40 deals, the following quarter saw 48 deals with 30 M&As in the last two months alone, reflecting a rising consolidation in the B2C markets Bengaluru remained the hotbed for investment activity with 80 deals in the last 3 months. The investment portfolio in the last 3 months indicates that fin-tech bagged 32 deals, health-tech 29 and SaaS more than 20, while e-commerce grabbed a larger share of the pie with over 40 deals.
- 'Enhance doctors' retirement age from Jan 2011'
Patna: The Patna high court on Wednesday directed the state government to enhance the age of retirement of all the doctors in its service from 62 to 65 years with effect from January 28, 2011 and to provide all consequential relief and benefits to those doctors who have retired between January 28, 2011 and December 22, 2011. The order was passed by a division bench of Justice Navniti Prasad Singh and Justice Nilu Aggarwal while hearing appeals filed in respect of enhancing the age of superannuation of doctors from 62 to 65 years. The order would be applicable to doctors holding postgraduate (PG) or MBBS degrees. The verdict came after a prolonged litigation in the matter. In 2011, the health department enhanced, with effect from January 28, 2011, the retirement age from 62 to 65 years only for those PG degreeholder doctors of Bihar Health Service who were posted in Indira Gandhi Institute of Cardiology, PMCH. The rest unhappy PG degreeholder doctor of Bihar Health Service cadre filed a writ petition before the high court, demanding parity for themselves. During the writ's pendency, in December 2011 the state government raised the retirement age of all doctors - holding either PG or MBBS degrees - to 65 years. This order did not cover those doctors who retired before December 22, 2011, leaving them dissatisfied. Taking note of the same, Justice Ajay Kumar Tripathi passed an order in 2012 in favour of all PG degreeholder doctors, directing the state to fix their retirement age at 65 years with retrospective effect from January 28, 2011 and to provide all consequential reliefs to them. But the said order did not provide any such relief to MBBS doctors who retired between January 28, 2011 and December 22, 2011. Thus, the aggrieved MBBS doctors preferred appeal. Meanwhile, the state government also filed an appeal against the order of Justice Tripathi. The appeal of MBBS doctors were clubbed together with it.

- Grievance redressal in Dankaur to ease with the 'Jan Samvad' app
GREATER NOIDA: Grievance redressal in Dankaur will now be a click away with the district administration launching a mobile application to ensure speedy and easy solutions of residents' problems here. The "Jan Samvad" app launched on Monday will also help them to keep a check on their pending property dues. The app would allow a user to register a complaint about eight kinds of day-to-day problems like garbage cleaning, cleaning of roads, lifting of dead animals, drainage cleaning, hand-pump and street light maintenance, etc. "The app has been on trial for about a month. If it is successful here, we will launch it in Dadri and Jewar too," District Magistrate NP Singh said. It would especially be helpful to the property tax payers who can now view the details of their tax dues after registering their number on the app. "The user can download the app from Google Play Store for free. Any user would first have to enter his 10-digit mobile number following which he would get a 4-digit One Time Password (OTP) for verifying the mobile number," Anil Pandit, Executive Officer told TOI. The app has been developed under the campaign "Roshni:Ek pahal" by a private company. According to the nagar panchayat officials, the user would be able to view the details of his property tax through the unique property ID, which has been allotted to each property by the administration. "We have around 3000 residential and 2000 commercial properties in the panchayat, all of which have been allotted a unique ID. The app will allow all the property holders to view the details of their dues through this ID. If a user has more than one property, then he will have to choose one default property ID. After that, he can view the tax amount with the property id and ward number under the User Panel," Pandit said. The 'Home Page' of the app provides an opportunity to the user to complain, inform and give suggestions. Under the complaint registration panel, a user can complain on eight accounts. The time limit for the redressal of a particular complaint has also been defined. For example, the lifting of dead animals has to be done the same day, complaints about cleaning of roads, drainage, garbage and loud rickshaw sirens have to be solved by the next day, hand-pump and street lights have to be fixed within next three days, pipeline leakage within next three days. "Under the complain form icon, the user has to first select the ward number followed by the location name and type the complain message in either English or Hindi. He can also upload pictures of strewn garbage, leaking pipelines, broken hand-pumps or street lights, etc and submit the complaint," Pandit said. There is also a provision to share information about the illegal construction and illegal encroachments under the information menu. A menu for suggestions is also available. The employee panel will contain the pending complaints, undisposed complaints and the 'work list' which will have all the jobs assigned by the user.

- Anti-superstition body to set up training centre in Sangli in Jan
KOLHAPUR: The Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti (ANS) has decided to set up an information and training centre in Sangli, which will hold workshops for people, clear their doubts about superstitions, and teach them how they affect the lives of people. There will also be training sessions for people who wish to work for the ANS. The centre will start functioning from January 2017. Started in 1989 by late Narendra Dabholkar with an aim of bringing down exploitation in the name of superstitions, ANS adopted the way of holding street plays and discussions. Dabholkar himself, a long-time medical practitioner, had been involved in holding informative and educative lectures, where he had explained to the people the medical facts of some illness which are attempted to be cured by non-medical methods. Though Dabholkar earned ire of many sects he also garnered support from various strata of life across the state. Rahul Thorat, coordinator of ANS information and training centre, Sangli said, "We realised that we have much work but its proper documentation was never e had also conducted programmes to educate people about various superstitions and gimmicks used by quacks to fool the society. Now, we have decided to set up a proper centre, where training sessions and refreshment courses will be conducted. This would become the backbone of ANS workers, who relentlessly work in their village, town or city." The centre will also hold courses for fresh candidates who wish to work for the ANS. The centre will have literature of Dabholkar as well as other members of the ANS as study material. Details of important events, articles written by key ANS people, and photographs of key events will also be displayed at the centre, he said. Dabholkar was killed three years ago near his office in Pune. Since then, the organisation and its workers were mulling over formation of a centre that would officially conduct trainings for fresh candidates.

AMD forecasts GDDR coming to CPUs as prices fall
DRAM lacks bandwidth to feed the firm's GPUs
SAN FRANCISCO: CHIP DESIGNER AMD said lower prices for GDDR5 memory will lead to its use as part of chip memory hierarchy.
AMD has long been promoting its idea of unified memory access where the CPU and GPU both have access to main memory. What the firm is now looking towards is making that main memory comprised of both types of DRAM, that is, both DDR memory and significantly higher bandwidth GDDR memory.
John Gustafson, chief graphics product architect at AMD told The INQUIRER that firms have been looking to increase bandwidth between the CPU and system memory but the price has been prohibitive.
He said, "Everybody is looking to use that extra speed memory in combination with the lower cost memory, just like you do with all memory tiers. It's a new tier of memory. A long time ago in HPC you always wanted to have static RAM right next to the processors and the DRAM far away and we're back to that situation again."
Gustafson's reference to static RAM (SRAM), is a nod to the well documented history of high performance computing (HPC), where SRAM is preferred for its performance characteristics but is naturally limited by its price. However Gustafson said that gamers' demand for high performance graphics cards has lowered the cost of high performance memory such as GDDR to a point where it becomes feasible to use gigabytes in consumer machines such as Sony's Playstation 4.
Gustason said, "Everyone's been using conventional DRAM because if you walked even a tiny bit away from conventional DRAM the price went up by a factor of 100, but who broke the back of that problem was the video gamers, because they are demanding this stuff by the millions of parts and they are engineered for a reasonable price.
"They are still more expensive, but it's not crazy expensive so for all the applications that are so memory bound that if you make the memory five times faster they will run at least four times faster, there's a lot of people that will pay for that."
Both AMD and Nvidia have said that the GPU's biggest challenge is memory bandwidth, as the chips cannot be fed with enough data to make use of its computing capabilities. Gustafson called memory access the "GPU's biggest problem".
While Gustafson doesn't see DDR memory going away anytime soon, he sees that processors such as AMD's APUs will have access to GDDR memory in the future as part of a memory hierarchy. Given that AMD, Intel and Nvidia all offer somewhere between 6GB and 8GB of GDDR5 on their high-end GPGPU accelerator cards, it might not be too long before a subset of that capacity trickles down to consumers. µ

Definición de back row en inglés:
back row
sustantivo[treated as singular or plural] Rugby
The forwards who are in the third row in a scrum.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- It's easy to make parallels between the back rows but really a back row is only as good as the forward pack in front of it.
- At hooker, scrum-half and in the back row, there are few solid alternatives.
- The young scrum, the front and back rows especially, has been a revelation and should develop into a fearsome unit given a little time and a following wind.
back-rower sustantivo
- Oraciones de ejemplo
- Not the biggest of forwards, but this Kangaroos back-rower of the early 1980s could mix it with the best and liked to do so at every opportunity.
- Confusingly, however, the Knights have already secured the back-rower's signature and lodged his registration with the Rugby Football League, so his immediate future is seemingly in their hands.
- But a new-found maturity in recent seasons has seen him develop into one of the finest back-rowers in the game, able to hold down his spot in the Kiwis and the Warriors sides despite intense competition from a host of talented youngsters.

Alabama Legislature spent money with firm partially owned by House speaker Mike Hubbard
But company spokesman says Hubbard was unaware of the transaction
Published: Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 9, 2014 at 12:46 a.m.
MONTGOMERY | A spokeswoman for Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard said the lawmaker wasn't aware that a company he partially owns got paid about $11,000 by the Legislature during the past two years.
"Speaker Hubbard is a minority investor in Craftmaster Printers Inc. and has nothing to do with the day-to-day operations of the business," Hubbard spokeswoman Rachel Adams said.
The Decatur Daily reported Tuesday that state financial records show three payments of $2,754 for printing and copying work since April 2012 and one in March for $2,834.
Hubbard, R-Auburn, was unaware any work had been done until the Decatur newspaper inquired, Adams said.
Secretary of Senate Pat Harris said he approved the most recent expenditure for folders that hold resolutions passed by legislators.
"It was strictly based on price; they were cheaper," Harris said.
A state Republican Party financial review in 2012 showed that when Hubbard was party chairman in 2010, a Florida company hired by the party subcontracted $752,262 of work with Craftmaster. Party officials made the financial review public after the state attorney general subpoenaed party financial records.
At the time, Hubbard said it saved the party money to route the printing through Craftmaster because of economies of scale.
"I'm real proud of what we did. Our goal was to win races and to win them efficiently as possible, and that's what we did," Hubbard said in 2012.
Hubbard recruited candidates and raised millions in the 2010 election to help his party take control of the Legislature from Democrats. The Republican majority in the House then elected him speaker. He is seeking re-election to the Legislature this year.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Understanding Lab Test Results
Lab test results may be positive, negative, or inconclusive. Your doctor will discuss what your test results mean for you and your health.
- A positive test result means that the substance or condition being tested for was found. Positive test results also can mean that the amount of a substance being tested for is higher or lower than normal.
- A negative test result means that the substance or condition being tested for was not found. Negative results can also mean that the substance being tested for was present in a normal amount.
- Inconclusive test results are those that are not clearly positive or negative. For example, some tests measure the level of antibodies to some bacteria or viruses in blood or other bodily fluid to look for an infection. It is not always clear if the level of antibodies is high enough to indicate an infection.
What are false-positive and false-negative test results?
A false-positivefalse-positive test result is one that shows a disease or condition is present when it is not present. A false-positive test result may suggest that a person has the disease or condition when he or she does not have it. For example, a false-positive pregnancy test result would appear to detect the substance that confirms pregnancy, when in reality the woman is not pregnant.
A false-negativefalse-negative test result is one that does not detect what is being tested for even though it is present. A false-negative test result may suggest that a person does not have a disease or condition being tested for when he or she does have it. For example, a false-negative pregnancy test result would be one that does not detect the substance that confirms pregnancy, when the woman really is pregnant.
Some lab tests can give you specific information. For example, your doctor may suspect you have strep throat and order a throat culture to see if streptococcus bacteria are present. A positive lab test confirms that you have strep throat and helps your doctor choose the right treatment for you.
But some tests give only a clue that must be considered with other information to support a diagnosis, identify a risk, or help choose a treatment. For example, your doctor uses your cholesterol levels plus other things, such as blood pressure and age, to check your risk of a heart attack.

Hi Todd,
Thanks for a nice plugin.
While customizing it for a client, I found a bug. (actually client found this bug, I just fixed it)
In HTML5 player function...
function WpaudioHTML5 (parent) {
start = player.seekable.start();
end = player.seekable.end();
Should be
start = player.buffered.start();
end = player.buffered.end();
seekable and buffered seems same but they have a small difference.
"seekable" failed in my case because of following note at http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/video.html#seeking
If the user agent can seek to anywhere in the media resource, e.g. because it is a simple movie file and the user agent and the server support HTTP Range requests, then the attribute would return an object with one range, whose start is the time of the first frame (the earliest possible position, typically zero), and whose end is the same as the time of the first frame plus the duration attribute's value (which would equal the time of the last frame, and might be positive Infinity).
Related post on this topic is - http://happyworm.com/blog/2010/10/04/html5-media-seeking-and-the-buffered-attribute/
Also, I noticed another strange thing.
My safari started buffering automatically which I didn't like.
So I fixed by adding following line...
player.preload = "none";
after lines...
player.src = parent.getUrl();
player.volume = 1;
If you find these fixes helpful, add them up in your code.
Keep up the good work. :-)

Deciding where to eat in Bloomington is always an adventure. The diversity of the student body invites an array of restaurateurs to the area, specializing in everything from Thai and Indian food to Japanese and Mediterranean cuisine. There's never a shortage of delicious choices; the hardest part is figuring out what you're in the mood for. Impressive restaurants unique to Bloomington include the Bombay House (an Indian restaurant close to campus), which has a lunch buffet during the week that could satiate the most intense hunger. There is also Michael's Uptown Café, which offers a cozy atmosphere and fantastic food with a New Orleans kick. Try the eggs Benedict for a great way to start the day. If more traditional American fare would hit the mark, Jimmy John's makes quality subs "so fast you'll freak," and Brave New Deli has a wide variety of sandwich choices.
Of course, Bloomington houses the requisite fast food and chain restaurants as well, but part of the allure of a small town with a big school in the middle is the explosion of culture. A student could probably eat three times a day at a different local restaurant for a month without repeating. If you have a craving for a favorite food, Bloomington has the answer.

Build this hardware-store airframe in a weekend for about $40
There are essentially two configurations for a quadcopter: the "+" frame and the "X" frame. Here we've chosen to build an "X" frame so your onboard camera can have a clear forward view.
We'll take you all the way from building the airframe to adding autonomous flight capability with ArduPilot. Once you've got it working, you could program this drone, for instance, to automatically visit a series of landmarks or other waypoints and take pictures of them.
The copter's central hub consists of 2 polycarbonate plates. Download the cutting and drilling templates here, print them full-size, and affix them temporarily to your polycarbonate sheet. Use a plastic cutter to score and snap each plate to shape, then drill out the holes with a ⅛" bit.
Saw 4 square dowel booms to 10"–11" each. Shorter booms will make your quad more agile, and longer booms will make it more stable. Drill two 3mm holes, one 6mm and one
26mm (on-centers) from the end of each boom.
Secure the booms between the hub plates using four M3×25mm screws through the inner holes and four M3×20mm screws through the outer holes. Once the booms are in place and you're happy with the fit, apply thread-locking compound to the outer screws only, add nuts, and tighten them down. Thread the inner nuts on just loosely, for now.
Cut down the bracket that came bundled with each motor and use two M3×20mm screws to clamp a motor to the end of each boom. Verify that each motor shaft spins freely when the screws are fully tightened. If not, double-check that its boom is properly recessed underneath. Smooth any rough edges on the bracket with a file.
The flight controller, ESCs, and gimbal controller all need to be calibrated and configured before flight. Refer to the bundled or online instructions that came with your equipment. Specific tutorials are linked from the bottom of this page.
Don't expect your quad to fly perfectly the first time. You'll likely need to make some tweaks and adjustments before it flies well. If you've never flown a quad before, remember to work the controls gently, as most beginners tend to over-steer. Your first goal should be to hover about 24" off the ground for 1-2 seconds and then immediately land. Once you can do that consistently, try to take off, rise above the "ground effect" zone (3'-4'), and then land gently. Work your way up gradually to longer and higher flights.
It is likely that you will crash at some point, especially if this is your first multirotor. Keep a positive attitude, pay attention, and try to learn something every time. Crashing, learning, repairing, and improving your skills and your machine is part of the fun and challenge of the hobby.

Is Egypt next locale for GCC investment? Prospects developing ahead of Cairo conference
Against a backdrop of rising investor confidence, a group of leading international investors will attend a major investment forum in Cairo on Dec. 4-5.
The organizers will also welcome distinguished delegates from Egypt, the GCC and the wider global economy. Together they will provide a platform to establish clear solutions for how to progress amid the challenges of the current economic environment.
The forum is the next step toward further strengthening economic relations between Egypt and the GCC countries.
The two-day forum will open with remarks from Sultan Ahmed Al-Jaber, minister of state of the UAE and Osama Saleh, minister of investment of Egypt. In addition, keynote addresses will be given by Egypt's Prime Minister Hazem El-Beblawi and Deputy Prime Minister Ziad Baha El-Din.
Last week, Standard & Poor's Ratings (S&P) raised its long- and short-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings of Egypt to B-/B from CCC+/C with a stable outlook. S&P stated that it expects support from bilateral lenders to continue over the medium and therefore the upgrade demonstrates S&P's view that Egyptian authorities have secured sufficient foreign currency funding to manage Egypt's short-term fiscal and external financing needs.
Coming at the same time, news reports say both the curfew and the state of emergency have ended in Egypt. Both these actions point to a return to stability and a rise in investor confidence in the Arab world's most populous nation.
This positive news comes as the preparations for the Egypt/GCC Investment Forum 2013 gathers pace. This forum, co-hosted by the Egyptian ministry of investment and supported by the government of the UAE and the GCC will bring together key Egyptian and GCC investors, financiers and policy-makers to debate and discuss the significant investment opportunities present in Egypt's economic restructuring.
This forum, to be held in Cairo, will focus on fostering ongoing strategic partnerships between Egypt and the GCC as both parties look toward a future of continued co-operation and increasing economic stability in the region. Through a series of targeted workshops, the forum will look closely at the main industry sectors. Topics will include renewable energy, housing and real estate, agriculture and food, hydrocarbons, IT and telecommunications, transportation, infrastructure, and tourism.

6 Sep. 1980The Leisure Hive: Part Two
Another man is found dead, strangled by the Doctor's scarf, so the Doctor is put on trial. By some of the archaic rules of law, he's made to "prove" his innocence by becoming a test subject in a new tachyon experiment with time. The result will prove his innocence or guilt, so they say.
13 Sep. 1980The Leisure Hive: Part Three
With the Doctor suffering from the time experiment, the clandestine schemes of others start coming to light, along with the secreted purposes to which the tachyonic generator has been used.
20 Sep. 1980The Leisure Hive: Part Four
With the saboteur and murderer revealed and arrested, peace should now be restored, but a new threat emerges - a war-monger who's both ready and eager to aggress upon other worlds with a newly manufactured warrior army.
27 Sep. 1980Meglos: Part One
The Doctor, Romana and K-9 arrive on the forest planet Tygella, where the native Tygellans now live in a underground city, due to the carnivorous plants. Where the Doctor finds he has been wrongly accused of stealing the Dodechedron, the city's power source. Only to discover the culprit is Meglos, the cactus-like last survivor of the desert planet Zolfa-Thura and he bids to return the Dodechedron to Zolfa-Thura for his own evil purpose and plans to use it as a powerful weapon and he plans to wipe out Tigella.
4 Oct. 1980Meglos: Part Two
With the TARDIS occupants trapped in a chronic histeratic loop (forever reliving the same moment in time), the devious Meglos - disguised as the Doctor - gains the trust of the Tigellans along with full and private access to their power chamber.
11 Oct. 1980Meglos: Part Three
With the dodecahedron gone, the city goes power critical. Its death, imminent. With Romana seeking escape from Meglos' pirates, and Meglos seeking escape from the sealed-up city, and the Doctor himself seeking to understand what's been going on (and why everybody wants him arrested), religious factions move in to take over the city.
18 Oct. 1980Meglos: Part Four
With the Doctor about to be ritualistically sacrificed to appease the god Ti for stealing the dodecahedron, Meglos and the pirates return to Zolfa-Thura with the dodecahedron to fire up an ancient weapon and blast Tigella out of existence.
25 Oct. 1980Full Circle: Part One
In answer to a summons from the Time Lords, the Doctor heads the TARDIS for Gallifrey where he must return Romana, but having tasted adventure and seen foreign worlds, she's none too happy about the return. Their journey, however, is interrupted by a rare space/time phenomena that lands them - not on Gallifrey - but on Alzarius. There, humanoid inhabitants begin to encounter an infrequent but regular cycle of perilous weather, called Mistfall, that coincides with the emergence of dangerous creatures.
1 Nov. 1980Full Circle: Part Two
As the humanoid community takes refuge in their crashed spaceship, venomous marsh spiders begin to hatch from the local fruit while bestial marshmen emerge from the waters to walk the land. It is quite apparent that the marshmen desire entry into the spaceship. Meanwhile, as a curious marshchild shadows the Doctor, a group of teen rebels decides to take over the TARDIS.
8 Nov. 1980Full Circle: Part Three
Infection from a spider bite causes Romana's personality to change. Meanwhile the Doctor, after discovering that the spaceship society is in a perpetual state of repair and upgrade, has morality issues with the ship's leading scientist who readies himself to perform gruesome experiments on the live marshchild while it's fully conscious.
15 Nov. 1980Full Circle: Part Four
Marshmen invade the Terradonian ship thanks to Romana, who seems to be in communion with them. While the ship's inhabitants flee for their lives, the Doctor discovers a crucial fact why these humanoids can never return to the planet Terradon.
22 Nov. 1980State of Decay: Part One
Looking for scientists to help them find a way out of E-Space, K-9 locates a habitable planet for them to check out. They find a tower harboring royals overlooking a single village of grubby peasants, no fauna other than bats, and a band of rebels hiding out from a severe law that prohibits learning.
29 Nov. 1980State of Decay: Part Two
The Doctor and Romana are escorted to the tower to meet the royal leaders, hoping they can find answers to why this society evolves backwards. The Doctor recognizes the tower as an old Earth spaceship, and further finds that the old fuel tanks, far from empty, are full - but with blood. Meanwhile, Councilor Aukon senses intelligence in Adric and selects him to be the their first "Chosen One."
6 Dec. 1980State of Decay: Part Three
The Doctor finds archive material in the TARDIS that tells him he's dealing with an ancient enemy of the Time Lords, a nearly indestructible king vampire who's ready to revive and reenter normal space, spreading death, once again, across the universe.
13 Dec. 1980State of Decay: Part Four
The Doctor joins the villagers' revolt against their vampire rulers, unsure how to kill the king vampire. Meanwhile Adric is first in line to join the new vampire order while Romana is laid out as a sacrificial Time Lord for the awakening king vampire and his swarm of bats.
3 Jan. 1981Warriors' Gate: Part One
While the Doctor and Romana desperately rack their brains over how to escape E-Space, Time Winds strike the TARDIS, damaging it and K-9. Strangest of all, it allows Biroc, a hurt and hunted lion-man, to enter, phased in time, and set the control coordinates at zero-zero, sending the TARDIS into a milk-white void. Before running off, he warns of others who will be soon following.
10 Jan. 1981Warriors' Gate: Part Two
Three humorless men from a damaged bulk freighter find the TARDIS. Wearily, Romana returns with them to appraise the situation of their damaged ship but, because she's a time sensitive, winds up as a living navigational component to replace their time-sensitive Tharil (lion-man) who escaped. Meanwhile the Doctor, having found a gateway, is having a time with Gundans, robot soldiers programmed to kill.
