- If you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, or certain other conditions, you may need to be checked more often.
- Cholesterol should be rechecked every 5 years if levels are normal.
- If you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, or certain other conditions, you may need to checked more often.
- Some men should consider taking aspirin to prevent heart attacks. Check with your doctor beforestarting.
- People from age 50 to 75 should be screened for colorectal cancer.
- A stool occult blood test should be done every year.
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years.
- Colonoscopy every 10 years.
- People with risk factors for colon cancer, such as ulcerative colitis, a family history of colorectal cancer, or a family history of large colorectal adenomas may need a colonoscopy more often.
- After age 75, you should discuss colon cancer screening with your doctor. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends stopping colon cancer screening after age 85.
- Go to the dentist every year for an exam and cleaning.
- Have an eye exam every 2 years if you have vision problems or glaucoma risk.
- If you are age 65 or older, get a pneumococcal vaccine if you have never had one, or it has been more than 5 years since you had the vaccine.
- You should get a flu shot each year.
- Get a tetanus-diphtheria booster every 10 years.
- You may get a shingles or herpes zoster vaccination after age 60.
- You may need to be screened for infections such as syphilis, chlamydia, and other infections. Screening will depend on your lifestyle and medical history.
- The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening all adults up to age 65 for HIV infection unless the prevalence is known to be less than 1 in 1000 people.
- All men over age 65 with risk factors for osteoporosis should check with their doctor about screening.
- All men age 50 or older should talk to their doctor about prostate cancer screening.
- If screening is done, a PSA test is the best method.

text: So... I'm the creator of this crazy game. I've been working on it for about 3 years and when I started I knew nothing about making a game. I'd like to get more serious about game development now, and it looks like Unity has a strong future and is a good tool for making games. For those reasons and a few others, I've been thinking about porting the game to Unity. I was just wondering what people more familiar with Unity would have to say about this decision. Does anyone have any general comments? What kind of challenges do you think I might face? SMBC uses a very complicated graphics system that supports changing the skins during gameplay, so I expect that will be the most difficult part of the port. I was also thinking about adding online multiplayer to the Unity version, and I have no experience with that. Do I need to make a decision about how I'm going to do the networking before starting the project, or is that something that can be easily added later if I get the game working with local multiplayer first? Also, will I be able to keep the file size down if I port the game to Unity? On Flash the game is 3.5 MB despite all of its graphics and music. Super Mario Bros. Crossover is and will always be a free game, and I'm just looking for ways to make it the best possible game it can be. Thanks for the help.

"I am so happy with my invitations. The quality of the paper is great...weighty and perfectly textured. The design is so elegant. The only thing I would say is that they are smaller than I expected but I was reading that's that is a good thing as it saves on postage! Service was also prompt and a pleasant experience."
"This invitation was exactly what we were looking for! It has our wedding colors on it. I love how you can personalize it with whatever font you like. We ordered it on the shimmery paper and loved the turnout. Can't wait to get them ready and send them out! Thank you Wedding Paper Divas! They are beautiful."
"I really liked this design, but I was nervous that it would be hard to communicate my tweaks without meeting someone in person. I made a couple of tweaks, and the team was able to complete all of them and they made the product even better than I was thinking. Really easy process and the took minimal effort on my end!"
"I did extensive personalization with this invite. I had custom colors with the flowers and different font (also in different colors). I got my proof quickly and it matched what I envisioned in my mind exactly! When the invites were delivered they were beautiful and the colors were awesome. I just sent them out and have received lots of compliments on them!"
"I purchased these invitations for my outdoors wedding. The invitations arrived very fast in a cute box and nice packaging. The invites were printed on very sturdy paper. The clarity of the print and the colors i selected were exactly what i wanted. Any concerns i had about the invites were professionally resolved in quick response time from the staff. I will continue purchasing from wedding paper divas because of their top notch quality and customer service."

A colonoscopy is an exam of the large intestine, also known as the colon. The exam is done with a tool called a colonoscope. The colonoscope is a flexible tube with a tiny camera on the end. This tool allows the doctor to view the inside of your colon.
Determine the cause of abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or a change in bowel habitsA colonoscopy is used to examine, diagnose, and treat problems in your colon. The procedure is most often done to:
- Detect and treat colon cancer or colon polyps
- Take tissue samples for testing
- Stop intestinal bleeding
- Monitor response to treatment if you have inflammatory bowel disease
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a colonoscopy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Bleeding
- Puncture of the bowel
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Smoking
- Pre-existing heart or kidney condition
- Treatment with certain medicines, including aspirin and other drugs with blood-thinning properties
- Prior abdominal surgery or radiation treatments
- Active colitis, diverticulitis, or other acute bowel disease
- Previous treatment with radiation therapy
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Perform a physical exam
- Review your health history
- Review any medication you are taking
- Test your stool for blood
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners like clopidogrel or warfarin
- Iron supplements or vitamins containing iron
On the day of the procedure:
- Wear comfortable clothing.
- Arrange for a ride home after the procedure.
Emptying the Colon
Your colon must be completely clean before the procedure. Any stool left in the colon will block the view. This preparation may start several days before the procedure. Follow your doctor's instructions, which may include any of the following cleansing methods:
- Enemas — fluid introduced into the rectum to stimulate a bowel movement
- Laxatives — medicines that cause you to have soft bowel movements
- Oral cathartic medicines — a large container of fluid to drink that stimulates a bowel movement
For the entire day before your procedure:
- Do not eat any solid foods. This includes milk or cream in your coffee.
- Drink only clear liquids such as water, coffee without cream, ginger ale, apple juice, Gatorade (do not drink red Gatorade)
- You can also have Jello or popsicles as long as they are not red
- Do not drink alcohol
- If you have diabetes, ask your doctor if you need to adjust your insulin dose
Description of the Procedure
You will lie on your left side. Your knees will be drawn up toward your chest. The colonoscope will be slowly inserted through the rectum. The colonoscope will inject air into the colon. The doctor will be able to see the lining of the colon with a small video camera on the colonoscope. The colonoscope will be gently passed through the colon to view the entire area.
A tissue sample or polyps may be removed during the procedure. This is done with small tools passed through the colonoscope.
The procedure takes less than one hour.
Will It Hurt?
Most people report some discomfort when the instrument is inserted. You may feel cramping, muscle spasms, or lower abdominal pain during the procedure. You may also feel the urge to move your bowels. Tell the doctor if you feel any severe pain.
After the procedure, gas pains and cramping are common. These pains should go away with the passing of gas.
After the Procedure
If any tissue was removed:
- It will be sent to a lab to be examined. It may take 1-2 weeks for results. The doctor can usually give an initial report after the scope is removed. Other tests may be advised.
- A small amount of bleeding may occur during the first few days after the procedure.
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions when you return home. Some general recommendations include:
- Resume medicines as advised by your doctor.
- Resume normal diet, unless directed otherwise by your doctor.
- The sedative will make you drowsy. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or making important decisions for the rest of the day.
- Rest for the remainder of the day.
Cause for Concern
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occur:
- Bleeding from your rectum — Notify your doctor if you pass a teaspoonful of blood or more.
- Black, tarry stools
- Severe abdominal pain
- Hard, swollen abdomen
- Signs of infection, including fever or chills
- Inability to pass gas or stool
- Coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, severe nausea or vomiting
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Less like grass, more like hot plastic
By walker

I'll bet others were hoping it would feel like grass too and that was probably too much to hope for. The real feeling is not intense, but still like hot itchy plastic, not grass (soft and cool.)
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
So funny
By Finndian
from Santa Monica
I have size 13 feet so I bought the large size... it fits me with plenty of room so I'm not sure how well large would fit someone with smaller feet. There is enough grassy space all the way around my foot that it appears I'm standing on grass and people notice it and laugh.One note is the grass mats down pretty quickly under my weight so I have to rake the grass with my fingers to get it to stand up when I take them off since I leave them outside my front door. They look like an art installation sitting there.

It would be easy to conclude on the basis of the impressive Galaxy road victory over Real Salt Lake, once one of the preeminent teams in MLS, that the club's productive youth Academy was the key to the 2-0 victory.Easy, but overly simplistic.After all, the Galaxy were without injured stars Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane, Carlo Cudicini and Todd Dunivant, the type of designated players and veteran defensive stalwarts who are at the heart of the defending MLS champion's twin title wins the last two seasons.
Without them, in came former UCLA goalkeeper Brian Rowe, who promptly recorded a shutout in his MLS debut.
Top draft pick Charlie Rugg, 22, scored on his MLS debut while partnering 18-year-old Jack McBean of Newport Beach up top and rookie Greg Cochran got a second start at left back.
But it was well-established players who provided the necessary leadership and cohesion, including Mike Magee who set the tone with his MLS-leading sixth goal in the sixth minute.
"They did a great job," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said after the game Saturday. "There's seven veterans on the field, so it's not like we just had a bunch of kids. The group of (A.J.) DeLaGarza, (Omar) Gonzalez, (Marcelo) Sarvas, Juninho, Magee and (Sean) Franklin were giving our young players confidence and helping us get the result. "
With every passing week it's becoming apparent, just in case it wasn't before, that the Galaxy's depth is unsurpassed in MLS.Real Salt Lake, for example, were without forwards Alvaro Saborio and Robbie Findley, both late scratches, but were unable to compensate.MLS teams that were once among the Galaxy's elite peers are stumbling - inconsistent RSL is 3-4-2, Seattle even worse with one win in six attempts, for instance.
But the 4-1-2 Galaxy motor on with a blend of youth, experience and big names that has opponents unsure how to adjust, as RSL coach Jason Kreis observed. "It wasn't just Donovan and Keane, there were five players that started tonight with the Galaxy that aren't typically in their strongest 11," he said. "When I got their lineup I was nervous to even write it up on the board. ... I feel that our guys have a tendency over the past to let down when they are playing a team that they think is even weaker than they are and tonight they got shown that team isn't weaker than we are. Their 11 was better than our 11. "
Force is with Galaxy
The South Bay Force, long among the top youth clubs in Southern California, who have produced three players on the Galaxy roster - Gyasi Zardes, Jose Villarreal and Oscar Sorto, - have now forged even deeper ties with the MLS team.Force Technical Director Todd Saldana announced Sunday the club has become the Galaxy's exclusive youth soccer club in the region. "We are dropping the 'South Bay Force' and becoming LA Galaxy South Bay," wrote the former UCLA coach and longtime Torrance resident in an email to players and supporters. "The Galaxy has provided us with a new logo and our new uniform kit is designed around their colors. "This is a first for the Galaxy and we are honored they choose us as their partner," he added. "We are now one of the very few youth soccer clubs in the nation that has a direct affiliation with an MLS club. "
The Galaxy selected six teenagers Sunday to join the 15-player field for the national final next month in Carson of Sueno MLS, the competition that gave Chivas USA's Jorge Villafana a pro contract: goalkeeper Heriberto Becerra, 17, of Fontana; and midfielders Erick Bermudez, 17, of South Gate; Daniel Crisostomo, 16, of Chino; Josue Soto, 17, of Perris; Joshua Varon, 16, of Bakersfield; and Edgar Villalpando of Wilmington.

GSA Ranks Among Top Federal Workplaces/Improves PMA Scorecard
February 2, 2007
Contact: Steve Hoffman (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – Employees ranked the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) among the top 10 Federal workplaces in three of four broad categories in the FY 2006 Federal Human Capital Survey (FHCS), the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has announced.
In related news, GSA was one of only eight federal agencies to receive a rating of yellow or higher in each category of the President's Management Agenda (PMA) scorecard for the final quarter of 2006.
"This is great news for GSA, and demonstrates what I believe – that a workforce comprised of employees who feel their work matters and believe important things happen daily can achieve amazing success," said GSA Administrator Lurita Doan. "We will make these terrific results the foundation for continued improvement in 2007."
On the scorecard, GSA, which received a clean financial audit in 2006, jumped in December from red to green in "financial performance." This is known as a double jump and marks GSA's strongest PMA results.
The scorecard results for the first quarter of 2007 were posted February 1 to Results.gov, a website designed to show federal employees where and how their counterparts are helping to advance President Bush's initiatives to improve government performance.
Regarding the survey, OPM categorized results into four main focus areas: Leadership and Knowledge Management, Results Oriented Performance Culture, Talent Management and Job Satisfaction. GSA ranked: 7th in Leadership and Knowledge Management, 12th in Results Oriented Performance Culture, 8th in Talent Management and 10th in Job Satisfaction among 29 major Federal agencies and selected small and independent agencies.
The survey was administered to a random sample of GSA employees last summer. Seventy-three percent responded, compared to 53 percent in the FY 2004 survey. GSA's response rate was fifth-highest among all participating agencies.
"Our high response rate validates our responses," said GSA Chief Human Capital Officer Gail Lovelace. "These reports help identify areas for focus in terms of improving the overall work environment and to develop appropriate strategies to improve employee satisfaction."
Overall, GSA scored higher than the government-wide average of 53.4% on the 73 survey items. Thirty-three items were marked as strengths for GSA; one was marked a weakness. GSA's top strengths were: Satisfaction with alternative work schedules; having sufficient resources to get the job done; having electronic access to learning and training programs; having training needs assessed and having a feeling of personal empowerment with respect to work processes. The lone weakness pertained to the survey item, "My performance appraisal is a fair reflection of my performance."
Government wide Federal Human Capital Survey results are available at http://www.fhcs2006.opm.gov/
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the Federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in Federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 170,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, acting as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to Federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and e-travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows Federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did you know! GSA has several programs designed to ensure a continued tradition of strong leaders. One such offering, the GSA Leadership Institute, provides a week of training in delegation, performance management, and conflict resolution to new GSA supervisors.

U.S. District Judge Linda Reade appeared unimpressed that Hawkeye stands to forfeit $5.7 million that it spent on 724 machines (and has not had an opportunity to recoup). TouchPlay operators now await the outcome of a second lawsuit in a different court.
SOUTH BARRINGTON, IL — Howard Cole of Cole Vending (Weaverville, NC) has been confirmed as the next president of the Amusement and Music Operators Association. Cole, who now serves as AMOA's first vice-president, will succeed president Jim Pietrangelo, Top Draw Amusement (Winchester, VA), on Sept. 29 at the conclusion of the AMOA International Expo in Las Vegas.

(Holyoke, MA), will become treasurer; Gary Brewer of Brewer Amusement (McMinnville, TN) will become secretary. In other association news, Williamson reported that AMOA's reserve fund topped $2 million for the first time ever.
IRVING, TX — CEC Entertainment Inc., parent company of the 522-store Chuck E. Cheese's chain, said its first quarter earnings rose to $227 million from $214.1 million. Net income in the first quarter of 2006 decreased to $29.2 million from $31.3 million in Q1 of 2005. Executives said new store development and an increase in comparable store sales of 1.2% spurred the increase.
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Senate on Monday unanimously (47-0) approved a ban on youth access to violent video games. The bill (HB3004) passed the House unanimously in March. Under terms of the proposal, offending retailers could be fined up to $1,000. The bill and its amendments now await reconciliation between the two chambers; final passage is expected. If the governor signs the bill, it will take effect on Nov. 1.
COLUMBIA, SC — South Carolina House members voted narrowly (55-52) this week against a proposed statewide smoking ban in bars and restaurants. Local news sources said 17 lawmakers declined to cast a vote on the measure, which appears likely to resurface next year.

Big Bad defiant still babbling their limited trolling nonsense. A couple of a little Foxy pups chasing their tails. Observe how their social family has disintegrated all about them for their lack to progress and advance their individuality. Typical of the Jim Crow mentality of the right. Sputtering callow hollow archaic verbalism of discontent and paranoia. Sad Sad for people like them. Never to know what they really need. Akin to a computer looping in its own virus infected destruction. Egotistic in individuality with false illusions of their successes and obliviously to their failure. Rejecting communal advances as some deprecating ideology. Why do they do for? For absolutely nothing! Pity, Pity nothing more ambition than to seek out the undertaker. Fortunately we have systems that will dispose of their remains. While they R.I.P. they may finally discover a tid bit of reality.
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If youve got a business -- you didnt build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didnt get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. Alas too late for them...

Can't agree with you about not building your own business. Someone may teach you to do what you do, that is the way it works. You work for someone else, you save the money YOU EARN, then you decide what you want to do. At that point you invest YOUR MONEY in equipment, and advertizing and YOU BUILD YOUR BUSINESS. Other than being taught your skill and earning your start up capital working for someone else you do infact BUILD YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

Your getting the idea. However you do not go far enough. Who educated you to read, think, deduce, communicate, etc. etc.. How was the infrastructure established that produced the fertile soils for your business to grow. Who provides the security that protects your business and how long has that been going on. Passing from one generation to another. Thats just the tip of the many necessities required for your businesses to survive. Now what of your children. What are they going to build on, if not what you produced as a foundation for them to continue to make things better or perhaps worse. Should they discard your achievements and decide they want to start all over from ground zero . Hermit Hmmmm. They say you achieved nothing its all about them and no one else. Hmmm Unable to communicate, uneducated etc. etc. What chance do you think they will have in survival and or happiness?
#16899 Feb 19, 2013
I go beyond far enough. My taxes pay for infrastructure, education, and security. There is no free ride. The same as if I build a fence I buy the land, I buy the post, I buy the wire, I dig the post holes, and I set and tamp the post. I BUILT THAT FENCE! That which I didn't do I PAID FOR. It is the same with building a business, that which you do not do you pay for. I agree that we are all in this together but I did not help you build your business, and you did not help build mine. You can twist it any way you want but I owe you nothing that you do not earn and you owe me nothing I do not earn. I meaning me have worked for everything I have. Niether you or the government has GIVEN me anything, period point paragraph.

Tuli Safari area is a protected area in south-western Zimbabwe. It comprises four areas within the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Estate and covers the entire west bank of the Shashe River within the Thuli Circle. Tuli comprises four reserves.The reserves are administered as a single unit, from the National Parks and Wildlife authority office on the east bank of the Shashe River.
Flora and fauna
Wildlife includes elephants, cheetah, leopard, black rhinos, wild dogs and lions. Most of the Tuli area is scrubland. The park's eastern border supports riverine vegetation.
How to get there
Tuli Safari Area can be accessed through two routes that is firstly, for those travelling from Bulawayo they have to use the Bulawayo- Beitbridge road and drive along this road for 129km through Gwanda town and turn right along Guyu road where there is a white on green metal signpost written Tuli Institute. Drive for about 53km along a tarred road past Guyu business centre and Guyu Police station then travel the remaining 87km on poor gravel road past Manama Business Centre turnoff, Bengo Secondary School and Nhwali Business centre then Tuli Police camp and finally Tuli Safari Area.
The second route to Tuli Safari area can be accessed via Beitbridge especially for those travelling from Harare; Masvingo or other clients passing through the Beitbridge border post into Zimbabwe. For all these clients when coming from Beitbridge they have to drive for about 10km along the Beitbridge-Bulawayo road and after the 10km peg they then turn left where there is a sign post written Nottingham Estate along a well graded gravel road. Here visitors are advised to travel following the route to Nottingham Estate which is approximately 51km in a westerly direction and then another 15km past Sentinel farm towards the west. As they pass through Sentinel they should then travel for another 33km to Shashe Business Centre ; 23km to Limpopo Business Centre; 5km in a north direction up to a junction where an unsign posted left dust turn goes to Tuli Police camp which is about 13km west from that turn off and finally the last 2km to Tuli Safari Area.
What to expect to see in Tuli
1. The Pioneer Grave Yard/Cemetery-has graves of those Pioneers who died in Fort Tuli during wars fought against the Boers at Pont drift and other natural deaths.
2. The Pioneer Prison
3 The Old Fort at Tuli
4. The Old Pioneer Administration Offices Foundation
5. The Pioneer Baobab with names of the Pioneer Column
6. The Somlale ruins
7. The three Botanical Reserves (Pioneer; Tolo; and South Camp)
8. The Pioneer Scrap Yard (beef cans; beer bottles; old cartridges and other metal containers dumped by the pioneers)
9. The wild animals (Lion; Leopard; Cheetah; Elephants; Giraffes; Zebras; birds and unique vegetation) etc
10. The beautiful scenery (landscape)
11. The location for the Old Pioneer Hotel
12 Enjoy guided walks with friendly Parks Rangers
There are no Parks lodges or Parks campsites in this area but there is a private lodge nearby which is about a kilometre to the north of Parks reception on the eastern bank of Shashe (Shashe Wilderness Camp).
Bookings for the Shashe Wilderness Camp private lodges can be done through the following means:
(i) Book and pay through a Mrs Harrison of Shashe Wilderness Camp who is based at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair Grounds in Bulawayo and can be contacted on the following numbers +263(09)884911-16.
(ii For clients who are far away from Bulawayo they can deposit their payments into the Wildlife Society Account with Barclays bank under the following banking details:
Bank : Barclays
Branch : Main Street Bulawayo
Account Name : Wildlife and Environment Zimbabwe Matabeleland Branch
Account Number: 23072223098
Charges for accommodation at Shashe Wilderness Camp
$45 for the use of the camp plus $20 per person per night.
When to visit Tuli Safari Area
Visitors to note that the Tuli Safari Area is situated on the western side of the mighty Shashe River and there is no bridge across this river and therefore meaning that the Safari Area can only be accessed easily during the dry season (May to October) depending on the rainfall pattern for each year (this is the best time for visitors to plan their visits). It's impossible to cross Shashe during the rainy season (November to April) for the reason already stated. Even during the dry season visitors are advised to bring four wheel drive vehicles to cross the sandy Shashe River.
Although Tuli Safari Area is a hunting area the various Historical Sites within the Safari Area do fall within the non hunting area and therefore both consumptive and non consumptive tourism can take place at the same time without any major inconvenience to both clients.

Ashly - from Missouri City, TX
Although they are completely edible, decorations made from gum paste are rarely eaten because it dries very hard. The flavor of gum paste is neutral - sweet, with a very mild vanilla flavor. Gum paste is a very specific mix of confectioners' sugar and natural gums that can be molded into flowers and other decorations. I don't recommend adding additional flavoring because adding even the smallest amount of moisture can affect the structure of the gum paste, making it sticky or affecting it's ability to dry.


text: i know 99% of the people in this post have and love the 7mm excel dry lock booties but i was wondering if there is a second choice 7mm booties ones that are split toe instead of round toe. I have 5mm quiksilver ignite booties and im starting to get a little cold here in ny and im looking for good 7mm booties but rather a split toe. is there any recommendations for 7mm split toe booties? or is there no difference with board control and cutting and carving on waves with round toe oppose to split toe in the winter?

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the first section of the Act entitled "An Act to authorize the purchase, sale, and exchange of certain Indian lands on the Yakima Reservation, and for other purposes", approved July 28, 1955, is amended to read as follows:
"That (a) the Secretary of the Interior is authorized, in his discretion, to—
"(1) purchase for the Yakima Tribes, with any funds of such tribes, and to otherwise acquire by gift, exchange, or relinquishment, any lands or interest in lands or improvements thereon within the Yakima Indian Reservation or within the area ceded to the United States by the treaty of June 9, 1855;
"(2) sell or approve sales of any tribal trust lands, any interest therein or improvements thereon, such sales being limited to agencies of the Federal, State, or local governments for recreational, educational, civic, or other public purposes, and to individual members of the tribes;

"(b) Where lands are held in multiple ownership, the Secretary is authorized to sell and exchange such lands to other Indians or the Yakima Tribes only if the sale or exchange is authorized in writing by the owners of at least a majority interest in such lands; except that no greater percentage of approval of individual Indians shall be required under this Act than in any other statute of general application approved by Congress.
"(c) In all cases in which the Secretary is acquiring for the Yakima Tribes lands or interests in lands presently held in trust or under restrictions for the benefit of an individual Indian, title shall be taken in the name of the United States in trust for the Yakima Tribes. In all cases in which land being purchased is presently held by the grantor in fee simple, title shall be taken for and held by the Yakima Tribes in fee and such land shall not, by reason of its being owned by the tribes, be exempt from taxation in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington.
"(d) The Secretary shall obtain the advice and consent of the Yakima tribal council before entering into any of the above transactions involving the acquisition or disposition of tribal land. The terms and conditions of any such transaction, including the price at which any land is so purchased or sold and the valuation of any lands so exchanged, shall be mutually agreed upon by the Secretary, the Yakima tribal council, and the individual Indian or Indians concerned. Any such exchange of lands shall be effected on the basis of approximately equal consideration with due allowance for the value of improvements in determining the value of such lands."
The first sentence of subsection 2 (a) of such Act is repealed.
Subsection 3 (b) of such Act is repealed.

Why take the chance? Safe Sea is a convenient and effective way to protect your family from jellyfish, sea lice, sea nettles, and most other ocean stingers!
Safe Sea is clinically proven to protect against many common varieties of stinging marine life. There are over 13,000 species of marine stingers in the ocean, and over 200 million beachgoers around the globe are exposed to marine stingers each year.
Along the US coastline, more than a million people are stung every year by sea lice, sea nettles, and other marine stingers.
Safe Sea helps protect against the painful stings caused by these marine organisms, and many more:
Jellyfish Stings: Hi-tech Micro injections
Jellyfish, sea lice, sea nettle, coral, sea anemone and other organisms which belong to the phylum cnidaria family are all equipped with stinging cells. These stinging cells consist of a capsule containing a condensed highly folded eversible needle with potent toxins. The discharge of this needle is driven by the building up of a high internal hydrostatic pressure of 200 atmospheres. This pressure is about 100 times the pressure in a car tire and is similar to the pressure that exists in scuba diving tanks.
When jellyfish come into contact with their target, the folded needle is fired from the capsule at accelerations of up to 40,000xg, similar to the acceleration of a shell being fired from a cannon.
The jellyfish toxins are delivered into the prey through the needle which resembles a multi-headed poisonous arrow.
Jellyfish stinging mechanism
A: Jellyfish and jellyfish tentacles
B: Tentacles and stinging clusters
C: Clusters with hundreds of stinging mechanisms
D: Cluster with stinging capsules and folded needles
E: Resting and discharge stinging mechanism
How Jellyfish Sting:
A. Stimulants from the skin initiate discharge process.
B. High internal pressure of 200 atmospheres is built in the capsule.
C. With 40,000xg of acceleration the needle drills a hole into the skin.
D. A tubule follows the shaft and injects poison into the body.
Keep ocean lovers in the water and out of agony with Safe Sea lotion to prevent jellyfish stings.
How Safe Sea Lotion Works:
Safe Sea protect against jellyfish stings in several ways:
Safe Sea lotion works by inactivating the stinging cells in several biochemical sites. It reduces tentacle skin attachments, mimics jellyfish self-recognition, blocks stinging cells activation, and interferes with the cellular signal, reducing the internal osmotic pressure in the nematocyst capsule.
In less scientific words:
The Safe Sea lotion's slippery texture makes it difficult for the stinging tentacles to get a grip.
Chemicals (stoppers) in the lotion block up the sites where the stinging process is activated.
Other inhibitors (stoppers) block the chemical pathway
The chemical stoppers reduce pressure in the stinging cells, preventing the jellyfish from firing its stings.

A quarter of its community college students graduate or transfer. A third of nine campuses risk losing accreditation. And its chancellor just resigned.
The challenged Los Angeles Community College District offers a leg up into higher education for come-from-behind Angelenos. Yet its governing board gets scant attention.
On March 5, voters will choose between eight candidates vying for three at-large seats on the LACCD Board of Trustees.
"It's a tough race, because it's a large district that no one in hell knows about," said David Vela, 37, of Montebello, who is competing against three candidates for Seat No. 6.
The sprawling L.A. district, the largest in the nation, serves more than 240,000 students across 36 cities and cost $626 million to operate.
Each trustee candidate expressed hope in managing the district's daunting budget squeeze, construction bond headaches, accreditation worries and dismal graduation and transfer rates.
In the rearview mirror, the district has lost $100 million in state funds since 2009, compelling it to close 1,500 class sections.
It's also been forced to revamp a voter-approved, $5.7-billion campus rebuilding program after state Controller John Chiang found "shoddy fiscal management and subpar oversight."
Last year, a state accreditation commission put Los Angeles Harbor and Los Angeles Southwest colleges on probation, while issuing a warning to West Los Angeles College.
This followed a study the year before that showed Los Angeles community colleges lagged behind others in the state, with three of four students failing to earn degrees or transfers..
Its chancellor, Daniel LaVista, announced last week he would step down in June. He said despite the Prop. 30 sales tax increase that gave hundreds of millions back to higher education, the district still projected it would be $25 million to $30 million in the red.
For the future, the district is looking at a new round of accreditation reviews this month at three San Fernando Valley colleges.
Meanwhile, Gov. Jerry Brown has proposed new California Community Colleges reforms and funding formulas, to affect 112 campuses statewide.
One includes saddling community colleges with adult education programs now taught by K-12 schools. For the Los Angeles district, that may mean teaching 200,000 more students.
A state bill passed last year to allow the district to run winner-take-all primaries to avoid a runoff election costing up to $5 million has not been approved by the board.
"We haven't made a change to the primary until after this election cycle is over ... so as not to confuse voters," LACCD President Steve Veres said of AB 2572.
Eight candidates are contending for three of seven Board of Trustees seats, which pay up to $24,000 a year. There are two wide-open races.
For Seat No. 2, John Burke, a retired community college accounting instructor of Chatsworth, is battling Mike Eng, a termed-out assemblyman of Monterey Park.
As of Jan. 21, it was unclear what Burke had collected for his campaign, according to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. Eng, however, drew $105,000, mostly in union contributions. Neither had filed a statement by late Thursday, the close of the filing deadline.
Burke, 68, told the League of Woman Voters he hoped to improve the quality of teaching through joint seminars with four-year universities. He also hopes to impose strict accounting practices across the district.
Eng, 66, said he is qualified to run the district having served as a city councilman, mayor and as a former legislator facing a "fiscal cliff."
For Seat No. 4, Jozef Essavi, a real estate broker and repeat candidate of Van Nuys, is pitted against Ernest Moreno, a retired president of East Los Angeles and L.A. Mission colleges, of Los Angeles.
Essavi, 38, has billed himself as a consensus builder and problem solver who would focus on high student dropout rates, limited courses, misused building funds and the influence of special interests.
Moreno, 66, said he hoped to save money through efficiency, providing more opportunity for students. He also advocated each campus have control over its own budgets and classes.
Essavi, who didn't file Thursday, had raised $3,600 by mid-January, according to county election records. In comparison, Moreno had drawn $55,000, with large donations from engineering and architectural firms, while accruing $78,000 in debt.
Seat No. 6 harbors the most competitive race, with three candidates vying with an incumbent.
Nancy Pearlman, a trustee since 2001, defended a record of staunch environmentally friendly construction. She aims to focus on accreditation, student success, green construction and financial accountability.
"I'm grass roots," Pearlman, 64, of Los Angeles, told the Daily News. "I'm out there. Students and faculty love me. But everybody thinks you can buy this election."
Tom Oliver, a retired president of Pierce and L.A. Mission colleges, touted experience as a community college student, teacher and administrator.
He said the biggest challenge to the L.A. district was a threat to campus accreditation, which could cost students valuable loans. He also advocated training for its board in complex budget issues, and more online instruction for students.
"I understand the issues," said Oliver, 67, of Chatsworth. "I understand the accreditation issues. I understand business. I know what needs to be done."
Vela, a board member of the Montebello Unified School district and chief of staff for Assemblyman Roger Hernandez, D-West Covina, has major union backing.
He advocates for less district bureaucracy, more teachers for students. He also said professors should bear more responsibility counseling students.
"I'm socially liberal, but very fiscally conservative," said Vega. "We have a really crummy system in which few students graduate because of the excesses ... of bureaucracy."
By Thursday, Pearlman had raised $12,500, Oliver had drawn $4,400 and Vela had garnered $178,000, mostly in union backing.
Mike Aldapa, a community organizer certified as a Seat 6 candidate, did not file election papers.

About Other SpainView a map of Other Spain wineries
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monestrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 55 Dos scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.
Other regions of Spain include:
La ManchaHome of most of the Airen grapes planted as well as Don Quioxte, La Mancha is a vast desert-like area of flat land and penetrating sun.
SherryThe Sherry region is located near Spain's southernmost point along the coast. Sherry produces white varietals used to make the fortified wines from which it received its namesake such as Palomino, Palomino Fino, Palomino de Jerez, Pedro Ximenez and Moscatel.
PenedésThe Penedés wine region is located in the province of Barcelona, along the eastern coast of Spain. The Penedés wine region consists of 185 vineyards. Penedes is home to Spain's sparkling wine, Cava, and also produces Garnacha, Merlot, Tempranillo, Pinot Noir, Monastrell, Carignane, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah (reds), as well as Macabeo (Viura), Parellada, Chardonnay, Riesling, Gewurtztraminer, Chenin Blanc and Moscatel de Alejandria.
YeclaLocated in southeastern Spain, Yecla is situated in the province of Murica. Neighboring the Jumilla region, Yecla is one of Spain's smallest wine regions. Common red varietals include Monastrell, Garnacha Tinta, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cencibel, Merlot, Tintorera and Syrah. White varietals include Merseguera, Airen, Macabeo, Malvasia and Chardonnay.
About PortugalPort, Madeira and corks is often overlooked when consumers think of red and white still wines – but take note! The table wines of the region have improved dramatically in the past few decades. The winemaking areas trickle down the country's narrow shape, bordered by the Atlantic on the west and Spain on the east.
Notable FactsFurthest to the north lies the region Minho, which produces the slightly spritzy white wine, Vinho Verde. Translated, it means green wine, not because the wine is green, but because it is meant to be drunk in its youth. Vinho Verde is a light, refreshing wine, low in alcohol and with a slight spritz. It can be made with a number of grapes, but the best whites are made with Alvarinho (same as Spain's Albarino). Red Vinho Verde exists too, but not much on the export market. For other red table wines, the three most common regions are the Douro, Dao, Bairrada and Alentejo.
In the Douro, home of Port, red wines are made from the primary port grape, Touriga Nacional, as well as Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo). Still red wines from the area are good quality and contain fruity, spicy notes. The Dao and Bairrida areas use Port grapes, as well as the local Tempranillo clone. They produce high quality, good value red wines. Bairrida also makes a few sparklers. Alentejo is a super big and super hot region in the south of Portugal making reds and whites.

2013 NFL Mock Draft
Hello before you read my mock I just wanted to say a few things. This is MY thoughts in how the draft might go not yours so any comment say "no this player sucks give us this player." I'm not "giving" you a player I'm saying who I think best fits the draft. So if you don't like it say why and give me the player you think would fit and say why. Seriously, it's not that hard. And honestly I don't have to do what you suggest to make you happy so if it doesn't happen and it's a pick you don't like, sucks, deal with it. Your team isn't going to pick the player you like cause you like him, they might pick the guy you just didn't want at all. I just want to say that cause I'm tired of people saying no and giving no reason why, it's stupid. So enjoy my mock... Or don't, I really don't care to much cause well I like it and think its extremely plausible. Have fun.
1. Kansas City (2-14) - Bjoern Werner, DE - Florida State
Werner can fill a hole here as a pass rusher and a possible linebacker. I just think Geno Smith is too much of a risk at the number 1 spot and I'm sure Kansas City has thought about this as well. A second round quarterback will be more worth the risk and probably just as effective. Kansas City will also be looking to trade for a QB such as Alex Smith or Michael Vick. Sorry KC but it's true.
2. Jacksonville (2-14) - Star Lotulelei, DT - Utah
Jacksonville needs a QB but again Geno is not worth the pick. So instead Jacksonville grabs a top D-line player and fill a needed spot. Knighton is going to be a free agent and might not be retained. Alualu has also been a disappointment thus far and Star could a much needed improvement.
3. Oakland (4-12) - Damontre Moore, DE - Texas A&M
And another defensive player goes off the bored. Raiders were definitely lacking in the pass rush and Moore can help, either rushing at the end or from an OLB position. He could be a Mario Williams player here. And the Raiders are definitely known for taking big players on D.
4. Philadelphia (4-12) - Luke Joeckel, OT - Texas A&M
An the first offensive player is off the bored with a desperate Eagles team taking a much needed player. The Eagles O-line was just put to shambles this year, enough that a preschooler could have gotten through and sacked the QB. Yes Peters was lost for the season early on but the O-line needs to step up and power up and Luke can help. Luke and Peters could make a great duo in the NFL next season and Luke will learn well under Peters.
5. Detroit (4-12) - Barkevious Mingo, DE - LSU
Ba dum, dum, dum... Another DE off the bored... LSU seriously spits out DEs like a machine. I men find me a draft where there isn't a DE from LSU and find one that he isn't a somewhat high pick. But anyway Mingo is an essential pick for the Lions especially if they don't retain Cliff. Bosch is most likely gone cause they're not going to want to pay the 5 mill they owe him.
6. Cleveland (5-11) - Jarvis Jones, OLB - Georgia
And as a Bengals fan I cry. Jones is the top OLB on, I guess now off, the board. They need a OLB and they got one heck of one here. He will definitely be a nice pass rusher and help make they're already good defense better.
7. Arizona (5-11) - Eric fisher, OT - Central Michigan
Could Geno finally get off the bored here?!? Nope still no. Arizona needs to boost their most sacked offensive line in the NFL here. Before they can get a QB they need to get someone to protect that QB and like I said before teams can still get good value QBs in the second round.
8. Buffalo (6-10) - Geno Smith, QB - West Virginia
And finally Geno is picked, and he is still a major reach but Buffalo is that desperate. Hopefully they can make a nice combo with Spiller and Geno and make a majority running team. At least they know Geno can run but he's definitely has to do better then that horrible bowl appearance.
9. New York Jets (6-10) - Lane Johnson, OT - Oklahoma
Now what can those J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets do here? The answer is really anything. The holes of the jets are enormous and could go after nearly anyone to fill them. It's just like (insert dumb sex joke here). So really for any fan who doesn't like the pick its a top pick available situation so just look at whose left and hope the Jets take him. OT is a glaring need for the Jets so that's why I chose Johnson.
10. Tennessee (6-10) - DeMarcus Milliner, CB - Alabama
Let's be honest here, Tennessee's pass defense was just god awful. They need help in all pass defense categories and Milliner is the top CB. Vaccaro is also available here but Milliner is taken for the value of the pick as well.
11. San Diego (7-9) - Barrett Jones, G/C/OT- Alabama
Yeah I know I know, he's definitely not best available, honestly he might not be considered at this pick by a lot of people, 99% of us. But look at last year with Seattle, I guarantee none of us predicted that. So with that said I believe San Diego takes the man that can play it all on the O-line so that they can but him where they need to and know he'll be able to play it... This gives the more freedom in the free agency and later in the draft.
12. Miami (7-9) - Cordarrelle Patterson, WR - Tennessee
They drafted a QB last season and he did pretty well considering he didn't have any weapons to throw to. I'm a huge football fan and can name at least one receiver per team except for two teams Miami and St. Louis. Both need to give there good QB, and yes Sam Bradford is good (I'll get to that in 4 more picks), a new weapon that they can rely on and since Miami is the first pick out of the two they get the top WR out of the draft in Patterson. Some may say Keenan is the top WO in the draft but I say Patterson cause I think he is more all around sound.
13. Tampa Bay (7-9) - Johnthan Banks, CB - Mississippi State
For the last three years I have been saying the same thing about Tampa Bay and maybe now they will finally listen. They are in a pass heavy division and they need a corner. Ronde Barber is too old to be a corner and is a safety now and now they need a new top corner to try and shut down the pass.
14. Carolina (7-9) - Johnathan Hankins, DT - Ohio State
Again I have said this in years past they need an interior lineman. They have no interior pressure and no run stop in the middle. Last year I gave them Cox, I dont disagree with Kuelchy (I don't know how to spell his name) but this year they definitely need a interior lineman and would be stupid not to get one.
15. New Orleans (7-9) - Sheldon Richardson, DT - Missouri
Ellis has been a bust for the Saints and is probably gone for the next season so a top ranked interior lineman should be on the top of the Saints list
16. St. Louis (7-8-1) - Chance Warmack, G - Alabama
Okay like I was saying when I was picking for Miami Sam Bradford is a good Quarterback but he is missing two things, weapons to use and pass protection. And since they are picking again in 6 more picks protection is a higher priority right now. They need to keep Bradford on the field and off the injury report and he needs more time so he can hit whatever weapons he's got and going to get.
17. Pittsburgh (8-8 ) - Dion Jordan, DE/OLB - Oregon
Pittsburgh is basically in as much debt as the U.S right now. Okay over exaggeration, they are not debt but they're or will be over the cap limit this season and they will need to do a lot of contract reconstructing and a lot more releases. Harrison will probably be one of those releases and they'll need a new pass rusher and Jordan can be that person.
18. Dallas (8-8 ) - Kenny Vaccaro, S - Texas
Dallas safety situation was not good this year a definitely could use some help. So they'll add to there secondary by getting pass coverage help for the second year in a row by taking Vaccaro and keeping him in the state.
19. New York Giants (9-7) - Sam Montgomery, DE - LSU
Osi and Tucker were disappointing this season and Pierre-Paul could use a friend on the other side. Sam could also be used as LB which they also need. So with duel position "fill" New York gladly scoops up Sam to beef up their defense.
20. Chicago (10-6) - Manti Te'o, LB - Notre Dame
Urlacher is getting old and a protege for him to teach is something the Bears will gladly take. Te'o should have been taken ages ago but because he got screwed over by some [inappropriate/removed] dropped him down pretty far. Yes he had a bad bowl game but for some reason a story that wasn't his fault and something that was cruel to him dropped down his stock which is pretty dumb but hey, Da Bears ain't complaining.
21. Cincinnati* (10-6) - Alec Ogletree, LB - Georgia
Manny Lawson is not coming back next season and neither is Maualuga. Howard is coming back from an ACL injury and should regain his spot as WLB and our cover LB. With Ogletree the Bengals can put Burfict in the middle and Ogletree as the SLB and run stopper (what I personally think would be best) or have Ogletree as the MLB and keep Burfict on the outside. Either way its a major improvement in the LB core.
22. St. Louis (Washington)* (10-6) - Keenan Allen, WR - California
Already said it 6 picks ago, Bradford needs protection and weapons, he got some more protection so this time it's a weapon he can use.
23. Minnesota* (10-6) - Tavon Austin, WR - West Virginia
Percy Harvin needs a running mate who is more constant then Jerome Simpson. They might also need a #1 receiver if Percy wants out and Minnesota trades him. So another receiver might be on Minnesota's draft board later.
24. Indianapolis* (11-5) - Xavier Rhodes, CB - Florida State
Indianapolis needs someone to be opposite of Vontae Davis so that they can have a good tandem.
25. Seattle* (11-5) - Robert Woods, WR - USC
Russell Wilson did very good for a QB without a true #1 wideout and yes there are better WR on the board but Pete is USC. He's already coached him and I wouldn't be surprised if Pete picked Woods. But he might also go with a different wideout but hey it's my pick and I'm going for some surprise picks.
26. Green Bay* (11-5) - Jonathan Cooper, G/C - North Carolina
The center position definitely a must needed upgrade for the packers. Saturday is too old and the replacement wasn't all that good. Green Bay will gladly take Cooper and make him a starter off the bat.
27. Houston* (12-4) - DeAndre Hopkins, WR - Clemson
It's been said for years that Houston needs a #2 next to Johnson and why not make it another Andre?
28. Denver* (13-3) - Jonathan Jenkins, DT - Georgia
Denver has got plenty of pressure on the outside with Dumerville and Miller and now it's time for one inside help and Jenkins will seriously fill that need right up.
29. New England* (12-4) - Terrance Williams, WR - Baylor
Let's be honest, New England is all TE and no receiver they need to put a consistent #1 receiver and that'll give them just about an unstoppable receiving corps.
30. Atlanta* (13-3) - Tyler Eifert, TE - Notre Dame
Gonzalez is most likely retiring and Atlanta will want to replace him immediately because I know they're back up and he will not be able to replace him. Tyler will be much better then Coffeman and might help the offense from choking late in games.
31. Baltimore* (10-6) - Kevin Minter, ILB - LSU
Rey Lewis is gone and Ed Reed might be. So they can replace the definite missing spot with Minter or the maybe spot with Elam. I say fill the hole you know you'll have.
32. San Francisco* (11-4-1) - Ezekiel Ansah, DE/OLB - BYU
San Fran already has an amazing defense but they need to keep it up with players growing old and going to free agency.

It is a somwhat possible pick but one i pray Atlanta doesn't make in Eifert. He just isn't that much better than guys in the 2nd to 4th round. This TE draft isn't that impressive in general at the top and even you would have to admit without a new TE our offense would still be deadly compared to us needing a upgrade on the D-line something massive.
A new TE won't have no where near the impact for us as a new DE or DT would. With Julio, Roddy, Harry, Quizz, a new mid round RB and mid round TE we are still gonna drop 24 points on a team probably.
1st - Ansash - DE or John Jenkins DT
2nd - Insert best RB/TE available
3rd - Insert best RB/TE available
4th - Geathers - DT if we go Anash

Werner fits no role with the Chiefs man. We're keeping the 3-4 and have two stud OLB's. Joeckel would make sense if we don't resign Albert.
You obviously don't like Geno but I think it will be either him or Wilson taken #1 barring a trade.

No to Tavon Austin for the Vikings.
The Vikings need a WR in a bad way, but Austin is not the kind of WR we're looking for.
We need an outside WR who can run the whole route tree, get separation downfield, and can be a jump ball threat in the red zone.
Austin is strictly a slot receiver best utilized by getting him the ball in space and letting him run free - pretty much exactly like Percy Harvin.
DeAndre Hopkins, Justin Hunter, Terrance Williams, Quinton Patton, Da'Rick Rogers, or Robert Woods would all be better choices at WR.

Before the guy on the floor for the Saints would turn in the card with Sheldon Richardson's name on it he would be ordered by Mickey Loomis, Sean Payton and Steve Spagnuolo to do 3 cart wheels, 2 back flips and 1 summer sault on his way down the isle!!!

Good pick in T.Williams to the Pats. They definitly need a WR even if Wes is back. He has really impressed at Senior Bowl practices too.

The Art World's Most Fabulous Women
Scarlett Johansson's Marilyn Turn
The platinum curls, the bright lips, the come-hither gaze—is that Marilyn herself? Not quite. In a striking ad campaign for Dolce & Gabbana's Classic Cream Lipstick, the designers styled Scarlett Johansson exactly after Marilyn. The campaign was first unveiled in 2009, and in an interview with ELLE, Johansson talked about the similarities between her and the cultural icon: "I've always loved her, but the comparison is probably aesthetic—I'm kind of a signature blond, I'm curvy, I've embraced my femininity and my sexuality. But I certainly don't have that lifestyle. We've lived in different times and come from different places. She was from the middle of nowhere. I'm from Manhattan!"
Diamond Bras Are a Girl's Best Friend
Victoria's Secret unveiled its $2 million diamond-studded fantasy bra in 2010. Adriana Lima, the Brazilian model who wore the bra, was styled as Marilyn for the over-the-top piece. Complete with the long gloves and a satin dress, her ensemble had everything the beloved actress and singer had—except for, well, a top.

Asustek has announced Z87-Deluxe/Quad, featuring the Thunderbolt 2 technology certified by Intel. Based on the new Intel Z87 chipset and ready for the latest fourth-generation Intel Core processors, the Z87-Deluxe/Quad ATX motherboard has two Thunderbolt 2 ports for connecting up to 12 devices at once. Each port has up to 20Gbit/s transfer rate and is backwardly compatible with Thunderbolt 1.
The original Thunderbolt standard has four separate transfer channels - two upstream and two downstream - with a maximum transfer rate of 10Gbit/s per channel. Thunderbolt 2 combines these four channels into two 20Gbit/s bi-directional channels, which are four times faster than USB 3.0, the vendor said.
