Accessing Account Information
The Medina County District Library recognizes that its circulation records, member registration records and other records identifying the names of library users with specific materials or queries are confidential in nature.
To access account information:
In Person
A person in possession of a library card has full access to all patron information pertaining to that card. No further verification is necessary. A person possessing only the library card number needs to provide verifying information (Password or D.O.B.). A person without a library card or library card number is required to give verification: driver's license or state/federal ID. To receive information about another person's library record: No member information can be given to a third party unless that person is in possession of the member's library card or library card number with verifying information (Password or D.O.B. of the member owning the card). To receive information about a minor's library record: The only exception to the previous paragraph is if a minor child's parent, legal guardian, or legal custodian requests library record information for that minor. The parent, legal guardian, or legal custodian must provide a photo ID and verifying information (D.O.B. and address of the minor).
By Telephone
To receive information about one's own record: In order to access information over the telephone, a person is required to verify the following: library card number and D.O.B. or Password. To receive information about another person's library record: No member information can be given over the telephone to a third party unless that person is in possession of the member's library card number with verifying information (Password or D.O.B. of the member owning the card). No personal information, including address and/or telephone number, of a member shall be made available to any agency, including state, federal or local government, except in accordance with a subpoena, search warrant, or other court order or to a law enforcement officer who is acting in the scope of the officer's law enforcement duties and who is investigating a matter involving public safety in exigent circumstances. House Bill 389 specifically prohibits the disclosure of information about the public records of adult library users, but the law states that the records of a minor are available to her/his parents, guardians or custodians.
Borrowing Privileges
Borrowing privileges are the rights of a member to charge out library materials on his/her card. Unrestricted accounts have a maximum of 50 items on the account at any given time including no more than 5 video games. Borrowing privileges are granted to a member in possession of a third party's library card (i.e. spouse, parent, friend). Possession of a third party's library card indicates permission to use the library card unless the library card has been reported as lost or stolen. Borrowing privileges are granted to a member in possession of a library card number and verifying information (driver's license, state ID, D.O.B. or Password). In order to receive borrowing privileges without a library card or verified library card number, the member must give the following information: name, address and either birth date or drivers license or state ID. Restricted Borrowing Privileges: A parent/legal guardian/legal custodian may complete a Change of Borrowing Privileges form to restrict a minor's borrowing privileges.
Library Card Statuses
Barred Card - Borrowing privileges are suspended by staff, and must be reinstated by staff.
Blocked Card - Borrowing privileges are automatically suspended and automatically restored when the account is in good standing. If in collections, account must be paid down to $0 to regain good standing.
Deleted Card - If a library card has not been used 3 years after expiration, the record may be deleted. A card number may be manually deleted from the system at the request of a member or the parent/legal guardian/legal custodian of a minor.
Delinquent Card - Bills and/or overdue materials will cause a card to be delinquent. Borrowing privileges are maintained.
Expired Card - A members card privileges will automatically expire every 5 years. Privileges are extended upon confirmation of his/her address and telephone number.
Lost Card - Upon notification and verification by the card holder, the account is barred. To receive a replacement card, a member must present identification and pay a fee of $.50.
Worn or Damaged Card - A worn or damaged library card will be replaced free of charge.
Blocked Borrowing Privileges
Borrowing privileges will be suspended in the event that a member's card becomes blocked. Overdue or lost items from other libraries may cause a library card to become blocked based on the owning library's policies. Once a member pays the fines and fees or returns items bringing the total below the limits, items may be charged to his/her card. If in collections, account must be paid down to $0 to regain good standing. Each individual card-holder is responsible for all items charged on his/her card. An account becomes blocked when: A member has 50 items charged to their account at one time. A member has 25 overdues on their account. A member has more than $9.99 charged to his/her account. This amount may be any combination of unpaid bills and fees for missing and assumed lost items. A member is in collections.
Fine per item per day: $0.10
Maximum fine per item: $3.00**
** Wi-Fi Hotspot: fine per day $5/maximum fine $35
A fine is a fee assessed for overdue library materials. Fines are assessed on a daily basis with a maximum rate based on the overdue material. Fines are not charged on Sunday or on days the library is closed. Members with Golden Buckeye, Teen and 3 for Me Cards are exempt from daily overdue fines but fees for lost and damaged items do accrue. AV material will not be discharged from the member's card until all items in the set are returned or paid for as lost material. Overdue fines will accrue until this time. Please note that these fines only apply to materials owned by MCDL.
Materials from other libraries may have different fine rates and loan periods.
Some parts or pieces of select items may be replaced for a fee if lost or damaged.
|Replacement Costs

* OCLC replacement price is temporarily $25.00 until the actual value is of the item is determined.
When the actual cost of the item is received, the price will be adjusted on the member's record. Payment for lost or damaged OCLC interloans must be made at the Medina Library. Clevnet member libraries may charge processing fees in the event of loss or damage to that library's materials. If an item is returned within 30 days after payment was made, a refund less $3.00 processing fee will be given. The returned item must be accompanied by the dated receipt received upon paying for the item. No refund will be given without the receipt or after the 30 day period. The refund check will be mailed to the member by the Business Office. MCDL cannot refund payment for a lost item from any other Clevnet library.

Indians eye 3-0 start in finale with Blue Jays
The Cleveland Indians take aim at their first 3-0 start since 1998, as they finish up their season-opening series against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday at Rogers Centre.
Mark Reynolds' first hit as a member of the Indians turned out to be the difference in Wednesday's 3-2 win. Cleveland's new designated hitter launched the go-ahead solo home run off Sergio Santos in the 11th inning to send the visitors home happy.
"That's what he has," Tribe manager Terry Francona said. "He's going to miss sometimes, but when he does (connect), it's a game-changer. It was tonight."
Michael Brantley went 4-for-5 with a RBI for the Indians, who won despite going just 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position. Ubaldo Jimenez, coming off the worst statistical season of his career, allowed only a run on three hits in six innings of work. He recorded six strikeouts.
Meanwhile, Toronto's flashy offseason has yielded little production through two games, and now the team is in danger of being swept at home to start the season for the first time since 2004.
The Blue Jays managed just five hits in Wednesday's loss, although Jose Bautista supplied his usual power stroke with a home run off Indians closer Chris Perez in the ninth to send the game into extra innings. After the game, Bautista was not concerned about his team's slow start.
"There are going to be stretches when we're not going to score six, seven runs a game," the right fielder said. "This is just one of them that happened now at the beginning of the season."
Starter Brandon Morrow eased concerns from a rocky spring, as the right-hander allowed just one run over six innings with eight strikeouts.
Toronto will turn to left-hander Mark Buehrle, who was part of the 11-player blockbuster trade with Miami back in November. Like Morrow, Buehrle also had his struggles in spring training, although the veteran southpaw has also pitched at least 200 innings in each of the last 12 seasons.
Taking the hill for Cleveland is right-hander Brett Myers, who inked a one- year, $8 million deal in the offseason. Myers finds himself back in the starting rotation after spending last year in the bullpen for the Astros and White Sox.
When the Indians last swept their season-opening series 15 years ago, they went on to win the American League Central.

someone who is scared, cheap, dirty, a loser, trys too hard.. a weap is someone who is for lack of a better word a square. this person doesn't have friends, and if he/she thinks he/she does, they are probably the person in that group that everyone talks about behind their back. a person can be weap for any number of reasons and can be called so by another person if they do not meet up to the other persons standards of what cool is. weap can also be used amoungst friends as a funny word to joke around with like youre making fun of each other
look at the weap kid with five different colored polos on, try a little harder to fit in, maybe a little more hair gel would do the trick you weap.

Weap: the whooshing metallic sound a bladed weapon is made when pulled from it's sheath or scabbard. The word is neither modern nor urban.
The weap of the sword when The Black Knight unsheathed it sent fear into the hearts' of his opponents
by MerryB August 14, 2011
a long time ago somebody said weap. Spelled weap. You obviously knew that it wasnt spelled weep by the way they said it. They came to the conclusion, that weap is a noun. A weap is a small homeless man wearing but one sock and underdrawers on his nose. I dont know how he does it... but he manages with the help of the good lord. Amen.

What Is Immunology?
Immunology is the study of the immune system, which is responsible for protecting the body from foreign cells such as viruses, bacteria and parasites. Immune system cells called T and B lymphocytes identify and destroy these invaders. The lymphocytes usually recognize and ignore the body's own tissue (a condition called immunological self-tolerance), but certain autoimmune disorders trigger a malfunction in the immune response causing an attack on the body's own cells due to a loss of immune tolerance.
Immunology and Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks insulin-producing islet cells in the pancreas. This attack begins years before type 1 diabetes becomes evident, so by the time someone is diagnosed, extensive damage has already been done and the ability to produce insulin is lost.
It is unknown how and why diabetes causes a loss of immunological self-tolerance, but solving this mystery is important:
- Understanding this problem could lead to new prevention methods and reveal a way to intervene and rebuild immune tolerance early in the disease process.
- Islet transplantation and stem cell therapy hold great promise, but the success of both methods is limited by the need for immunosuppressive drugs to protect the new islet cells from immune attack.
Joslin Researchers Are Searching for Answers
- How does the immune system usually maintain immune tolerance and prevent autoimmune attack?
- How are molecular and cellular processes different in people with diabetes, and how do these differences trigger the disease?
- How can autoimmune attack and type 1 diabetes be detected early on? Is there a way to observe damage in the pancreas through advanced technology?
- Is it possible to prevent the autoimmune attack that triggers diabetes? Can immunological tolerance be restored?
Most Commonly Used Terms
Autoimmune disease:disorder of the body's immune system in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys body tissue considered foreign.
Islet cells: cells found within the pancreas, clustered in formations called islets. These cells make insulin and are also called pancreatic beta cells.
Lymphocytes: immune system cells that identify and destroy foreign agents such as viruses, bacteria and parasites.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The King University men's volleyball team picked up a pair of wins on Saturday afternoon, sweeping Marymount University and Emmanuel College to break above the .500 mark for the first time since a win over conference foe Belmont Abbey on January 18.
The Tornado attack had its best performance of the season in the day's opening contest against Marymount (0-2), hitting .381 for the match. The first set saw the Tornado hit an incredible .682, compiling 15 kills on 22 attempts without committing an error. Eddie Moushikhian and Mason Casner each had four kills for the Tornado in the first set, while Nick Serowski and Matthew DeLong had three apiece. For the match, King's attack percentage sat at a gaudy .381 while holding the Saints attack to an -.011 performance. Marymount totaled 22 kills on the afternoon while committing 23 errors in 88 total attempts.
Moushikhian paced the Tornado attack with 14 kills and a .545 attack percentage. Mason Casner followed with seven kills. Jeff Bosslet had 33 assists in the match, adding six digs and a block, while Matthew Lychock had four kills on five attempts without an error.
All three sets were tight, with King able to piece together a run to pull away. The Tornado led 12-10 in the first set, but then scored seven of the next eight points as part of a 13-5 run to close the set. King trailed 15-14 in a second set that included eight ties and four lead changes before embarking on an 11-3 run to take the set, including scoring five consecutive points to close. King finished the third set on a 10-3 run to earn its first sweep of the season.
In the afternoon's second match, King (4-3) recorded 11 total blocks and held the Emmanuel (2-2) attack to .092 en route to a hard-fought sweep that saw a total of 30 ties and 10 lead changes. Serowski led the Tornado with 11 kills and a pair of blocks, while Moushikhian had a .400 attack percentage that included 10 kills, recorded three blocks, and had five digs. Casner and Lychock each recorded five blocks. Lychock also had six kills to go with his .545 attack percentage.
The first set saw the Tornado score 11 of the final 13 points to turn a 16-15 lead into a 25-17 victory. The second set, however, was a back-and-forth affair from the beginning that included 18 ties and six lead changes. All but six points of the set were played with just one point separating the teams.
The play of the afternoon occurred with the Tornado leading 17-16. After a thunderous Lion attack, the ball bounced off of King's Kiel Bell and ricocheted toward the seats on Emmanuel's side of the net. But Jeff Bosslet chased the ball down, extended fully for a dive, and set the ball back toward the Tornado side while avoiding crashing into the first row of the crowd. Bell went on the attack, and the point ended on an Emmanuel attack error moments later. The momentum-shifting play gave King its largest lead of the set and sparked the Tornado to a victory.
The third set appeared in doubt when Emmanuel went on a 4-0 run to take a 21-19 lead. But a kill from Lychock stopped the Lions' run, and kills by Lychock and Serowski over the next four points kept the score tied at 23. King scored the final two points of the match on attack errors by Emmanuel, securing a second consecutive sweep for the Tornado.
The Tornado attack was dominant in both matches. On the afternoon, King hit .328 as a team with 85 terminations while holding their opponents to just .043 on the attack. The Tornado registered 14 total blocks and had 70 digs. Moushikhian hit .476 with 24 kills on the afternoon, while Lychock hit a blistering .625 with 10 kills and no errors.
King now embarks on a 15-match road swing that will begin at Conference Carolinas opponents Barton College and the University of Mount Olive on Friday and Saturday. The Tornado will return to Bristol on Wednesday, March 19 to face Pfeiffer in a rescheduled Conference Carolinas match from last weekend.

1 Honey Bun – featured Verna by Kate Spain
Mod Podge
Paper Mache Eggs or Styrofoam eggs
Large paint brush
Plastic table cover (one you can throw away)
1. Put all your eggs in one basket or bowl for easy access. The next steps can get very messy so this is very helpful when you are in the middle of it. I used two different size eggs. Jumbo Eggs and regular size.
2. On the Jumbo eggs… apply a coat of Mod Podge in an area and then apply a honey bun strip on the coated area.
3. Working around the egg, continue to apply the Mod Podge, then a strip of fabric, then more Mod Podge on top to help seal the fabric on the egg.
4. Continue adding strips wrapped around the egg until all the egg is covered. In the end you have some very colorful Jumbo eggs.
5. For the smaller eggs, cut the honey bun strip into 1/2″ sections for easy application.

First-place Caps visit Panthers
The Washington Capitals' most recent victory allowed them to forge a tie atop the Southeast Division. The Capitals hope to stay there by continuing their dominance of the Florida Panthers in Saturday's encounter in Sunrise.
Washington began this season with a 2-8-1 record, but has been steadily picking up ground since that awful start. Thursday's 2-1 shootout win over the visiting New York Islanders allowed the Capitals to join the Winnipeg Jets atop the Southeast at 38 points apiece.
The Jets are also in action on Saturday, as they're set to host an afternoon battle with Philadelphia.
Washington has a strong chance of keeping pace with the Jets on Saturday, considering the Caps' recent history against Florida, which is last in the Eastern Conference with 30 points. Washington has won six straight against the Panthers and has outscored Florida by an 18-6 margin over the three meetings this season. The Caps also have won two in a row and six of the last 10 on the road in this series.
Alex Ovechkin recorded the deciding goal during Thursday's shootout win over the Isles, while Braden Holtby turned in an outstanding performance between the pipes to help lift Washington to the big victory.
Holtby stopped 35-of-36 shots through regulation and overtime, then stoned all three New York skaters in the final phase. Mike Green had the lone regulation goal for Washington, now 6-1-1 over its last eight outings.
"We have a lot of hockey left," Capitals head coach Adam Oates said of his team vaulting into a tie for first in the division.
Washington, which will return home to face Tampa Bay on Sunday, is 9-9-2 as the visiting team this season.
Although the Panthers are last in the conference, the club is entering Saturday's contest riding a season-best three-game winning streak. All three victories have come after regulation, including the most recent one, a 3-2 shootout win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
Peter Mueller had the lone goal in the shootout to lift the Panthers past the Lightning. Jacob Markstrom had 39 saves and stopped shootout attempts by Teddy Purcell, Victor Hedman and Steven Stamkos for the Panthers, who are on their longest winning streak since taking five in a row from March 11-20 of last season.
Greg Rallo and Tomas Kopecky tallied, while T.J. Brennan had two assists in the win.
"To me, (Markstrom) was the player of the game," Panthers head coach Kevin Dineen said. "There were some quality opportunities and Markstrom stood tall when we needed him."
Florida is 6-8-5 as the host this season and is playing two straight and three of its next four on home ice.
Highly-touted prospect Nick Bjugstad expects to make his NHL debut for the Panthers on Saturday. The 6-foot-6 center's college career with the University of Minnesota came to an end last week and he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Panthers on Wednesday.
Bjugstad, who ranked in the top-10 in the NCAA in goals in each of the past two seasons, was selected 19th overall by Florida at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

The Russian presidential race is heating up and the question on everyone's mind is who will nail down the virgin vote?
On the off-chance you don't speak Russian, here's the loose English translation from this very cool, very normal political ad for Prime Minster and presidential hopeful Vladamir Putin.
"We'll find out, little beauty, who faith has in store for you."
"You know, I hope it's for love. It's my… first time."
"The cards will tell the truth… I see it will be for love… without deception…"
"Wow. It's him!"
"You'll be happy with him. He'll protect you like a stone wall."
Putin. First time - only for love.

gathered cuff cardiFriday, June 11, 2010
I think I have my new summer "always take with" me sweater. It's light, soft and the perfect weight for those cool mornings, evenings and days.
A pretty straight forward stockinette sweater with just enough interest in the gathered cuff details. Which by the way is the only part of the pattern that I felt required some extra thought. There are increases inside of increases inside of short rows. A little tough at first for my mind to wrap around, but it finally clicked. I love when that happens.

I was just telling LQ that I need a "go everywhere" kind of cardigan! It probably won't be this one...if parts were a challenge to you, I won't make it through!
Enjoy taking it with you each and every day!
The back is great, too! Looks cozy. Happy weekend to you.ReplyDelete
Beautifully done! The color and yarn really do allow those clever details to reveal themselves.ReplyDelete
I've also always blocked after sewing. Now I am curious about why blocking first would be preferable, if you'd managed to adhere to the gauge throughout the knitting.
What is your next project?
Beautiful. I love how soft and comfortable the sweater looks!ReplyDelete
The sweater came out gorgeous! The garments that you make fit you so nicely. I need to learn how to measure for the most accurate fit. Have a wonderful day!ReplyDelete
I've been quite tempted by this pattern, but buying a whole booklet for one pattern is possibly too much. But oh your's is sweet...ReplyDelete

I have been wanting a blue sweater for a while now, and that is a great shade of blue. GREAT looking creation!ReplyDelete
Don't you think though that it is easier to seam together blocking the pieces before you sew? I've done it both ways, still new to it all, but I did think it was a little easier. Everything laid flatter and didn't curl so much. What would be the advantage of blocking after seaming? Just wondering~Jan

The Samsung Galaxy S series has gained a very high level of popularity in the U.S., one of the main reasons being that there is a Galaxy S device available on every major carrier (as well as some smaller carriers). Since Mobile World Congress, Samsung fans have surely been excited for the release of the nifty Samsung Galaxy S II, sporting specs that are expected to blow everyone's mind. Clarifying the rumored delay, Samsung stated that the device would be released within April, but the actual launch is different in every country. Nevertheless, the Galaxy S II should be getting here soon, and Samsung is teasing us with a series of commercials this week.
Samsung is not efficiently demonstrating what the device can actually do, which seems to be becoming a trend lately, but the advertising focuses more on the high quality display (1st commercial) and the voice command advantages (2nd and 3rd commercials). Frankly, although voice commands and Super AMOLED plus displays can be exciting, it would be more interesting to see the device's full potential in other aspects as well. Regardless, it is exciting to get a peek of this device from an official source, because it means that the bad boy is just around the corner. If you have been waiting for the Galaxy S II, check out the videos after the break, and let us know what you think of them. Will you be getting your hands on the Galaxy S II once it is available?
Samsung has given us a 4th commercial to drool on, now featuring the thinness of the device. You think you will be making up with your girlfriend/boyfriend like this? Watch the video if you want to see how this device can make your life easier…

DC elections officials let pot initiative move on
WASHINGTON (AP) — Elections officials in the District of Columbia are allowing a ballot initiative to go forward that would let the city's voters decide whether possession of up to two ounces of pot should be legal in the nation's capital.
Backers have to collect signatures from about 25,000 registered voters to get the measure on the ballot in November. The ballot measure the D.C. Board of Elections let move forward Tuesday would also legalize cultivation of up to three marijuana plants in homes.
Earlier this year, the D.C. Council passed a bill that would decriminalize the possession of less than one ounce of marijuana. Mayor Vincent Gray is expected to sign the measure and Congress, which has a final say over the city's laws, is not expected to intervene.

Several factors have played a part in Dixon emerging as a dangerous football team, one being C.D. Hansley.
Several factors have played a part in Dixon emerging as a dangerous football team, one being C.D. Hansley.
While Hansley was already recognized as one of the most athletic players in the area, the senior quarterback appears to have elevated his game at the right time for the Bulldogs (6-3, 3-1 Coastal Plains 1-A Conference), who host Lejeune (5-5, 3-1) tonight.
Hansley rushed for 265 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries and completed 7 of 12 passes for 76 yards and another score in Dixon�s 41-16 triumph over East Carteret last week.
And because of his effort, Hansley is The Daily News football player of the week for the second time this season.
�Yeah, he did a great job the other night,� Dixon coach Ray Swaney said. �A lot of what he was able to do came because the other guys did their assignments, but he ran hard. He had a great night running and throwing. He worked hard in practice.�
Hansley, who has split time with Robbi Wyble at quarterback, took 90 percent of the snaps against East Carteret (1-8, 0-4). But playing quarterback didn�t prevent Hansley from doing some damage on the ground.
A lot of his gains came when he called his own number, but some also came when he scrambled out of the pocket.
�He has the option to do a lot of running in the offense we run,� Swaney said. �If the opportunities open up, he takes advantage of it.�
Hansley, who has received interest from Charlotte and The Citadel, now has 1,003 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns to go along with 476 yards passing and 4 touchdown passes.
Not too bad.
�He�s getting a quite a bit of attention,� Swaney said. �But he�s a team player. That�s the main thing. The other night he went over 1,000 yards and the one thing he did was he thanked his line.�
Now for the panel
Sports page designer Mike Boaz remains the leader of The Daily News high school football forecasting panel at 74-10 after he went 9-0 last week.
Kinston Free Press managing editor Bryan Hanks is second at 69-15 after he went 9-0. I went 8-1 to move to 68-16 while JDN sports editor Rick Scoppe (9-0 last week) is next at 67-17, followed by Halifax regional desk chief Richard Clark (8-1) at 66-18 and WCTI-12 news anchor Brian North (8-1) at 65-19.

In this 20-minute practical podcast, Judy Capko, author of the runaway best-seller, Secrets of the Best-Run Practices, 2nd Edition, discusses Dealing With the Grouchy Patient. In many practices there has been a change in patients' attitudes when they come into the office. Of course, many of them are ill, but others are frustrated with the workflow through the practice, their financial obligations, and some patients just seem downright grouchy. What can the practice do to help turn this around? Judy discusses how these patients have an impact on the staff members, how to embark on the goal of a patient-centered practice, what can staff members do to improve the patient experience, how some practices just exude enthusiasm and others just don't seem to connect, and what is the biggest change that a practice can make to get patients on their side and improve the working relationship.

Neji, one of the konoha 12 just died. What the heck? I thought they were protected by plot shield. Needless to say I was surprised and saddened since I liked his character
For a second I thought Hinata was a goner but man was I relieved. Seems like Kishi will be protecting her after all (for Naruhina I hope or just not to be killed by all the angry Naruhina fans that would go crazy if something happened to her). But seriously, the Hyuuga need to be stronger than this. They say they are the strongest in Konoha yet they can only use a handful of sucky techniques. All the focus seems to go to the Uchiha in developing their doujutsu every few chapters and Naruto, who has become beyond OP now firing off what seems like infinite rasenshurikens (when there was like a 3 limit before).
Anyway, RIP Neji. You will be missed. Or maybe he'll just get healed or brought back at the end of the war. I don't know. What do you guys think?
Beasting and feasting :)
Revolver Dogelot
I thought it was a well done scene and they hardly looked like sissies. Three Hyuga's basically stopped a series of attacks that would have killed dozens of people otherwise, that seems tough enough to me. I sort of expected Hinata to bite it too, for a moment I was like "Oh SNAP he is gonna do it!!??!" then Neji jumped in and bit it.
I actually sort of liked Neji too, he was one of my favorite characters. I seriously doubt he will be getting brought back, no one else who has died in the series has been outside of an Edo Tensei.
Just call me.... Revolver. Revolver Doge.
The Hyuga were portrayed in a very positive light this chapter, showing that they might not have as many offensive moves as the Uchiha, but they have plenty of moves to protect themselves and others, and a strong iron will. They are often associated for their formalities, but when a war's on, they know what's at stake.
Neji died just like his father did, by choice and to protect those he cared about. Neji clearly wasn't protected by plot shield like how he was in Part I when he almost died. Nope, his character development was done and saw no further progression, so Kishi killed him off. To bring him back later on isn't just bullshit, it's disrespectful to his sacrifice.
Seriously? A few sucky techniques? These are normally lethal, and effective against enemies, and to protect friends, but this story tends to show increasingly powerful enemies that barely anyone can take out.
I agree with Slasch on this, not to mention being able to pull off what they did when they are mainly Taijutsu users is a feat in it self
will come on as often as possible.
Hope there will be some way to bring Neji back...it will never be the same :tears:
I personal like him. Sadly that Kishi rush his manga into the war. Where Neji would have more shine along with Rock lee, TenTen on few side missions against other enemies or tailed beast host.
I personal hope we learn more bout the Hyuuga. They must know a secret bout the Sage.
Boku No Hero Academia is Here!
I personally was hoping Hinata would die. Oh well haha.

Dear all
Being in a small SEN school, this forum is absolutely fantastic because I don't feel so out on a limb. Being only 5 years into the profession also, I'm hugely grateful to everyone here who has shared their ideas, and I want to do so much more in the future.
I wonder if we could benefit from having a seminar purely on helping students with SEN access History, to share ideas, SOW's, assessments etc - I'd also be interested in how many of us there are in small SEN schools, wonder if we could all benefit from meeting up once in a while, if anyone's interested. I know some of you have contacted me in the past, but I have to admit to being woefully inadequate with correspondence over the term.
Some questions to kick us off:
What do you cover in KS3?
We cover enquiries from the Medieval Period to the Holocaust.
How do you assess in Key stage 3?
I've seen a number of excellent assessments on the board, but are not suitable for some of the students at my school. I've come up with some more creative assessments this year e.g a guidance sheet for a Medieval King based on an enquiry from the SHP book on 'Could a Medieval Kings do whatever they wanted?' but I still don't think I've got it right.
What do you find most difficult?
balancing the teaching of the subject with addressing students literacy / numeracy and other difficulties. Sometimes expectations of what they should be producing each lesson. Parent's expectations particularly tricky!
Which GCSE do you do (board and GCSE/ IGCSE) - and why?
We do Edexcel MW at the moment but am registering to change to Cambridge IGCSE, as they don't have a CA - my students have found this horrendous and very stressful. Investigating this further over the Easter.
Thanks all
History and SEN

Police Beat 1-3-13
Two busted for drug lab
PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth Police Department arrested two people Wednesday night after they attempted to purchase precursors to make methamphetamine at a local grocery store.
According to a report from PPD, Earlana Jones and Henry M. Ruiz were located in the parking lot of Martin's Supermarket and found to be in possession of an illegal drug lab.
Ruiz also had two active warrants through Marshall County.
Both Jones and Ruiz were booked into Marshall County Jail on $1,500 bond.
Driver jailed after hitting McDonalds, tree
PLYMOUTH — More details were released about an alleged drunk driver arrested early New Year's Day.

Gangnam Style: Home Edition
I fully admit being late to the K-Pop party. But, like millions of others, I was totally amused by Psy's hit video and song. I belt out "Oppan Gangnam Style!" in the car while I'm driving and have even attempted the equestrian-style dance move he's now made famous (It wasn't pretty).
As I understand it, Gangnam is a district of Seoul, know for its trendiness and the wealthy lifestyle of its residents. The area has its own Rodeo Drive and lots of bars, cafes and upscale shopping. Detractors call it a haven for the "nouveau riche." Reportedly, it's a very expensive place to live, where the average apartment now costs $716,000 — well above reach for the average Korean. The home above was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal as its House of the Day. It's on the market for $3,800,000.
Of course, doing what I do, I went searching for Gangnam-gu rentals, just to get a sense of what's available there, along with any hints of the decor. The newness of the apartments struck me, as did the small sizes. I pulled a few for you to check out.
1. A $1,400 furnished 600 ft apartment from Craigslist
2. This studio is for rent for $762 a month.
3. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath apartment is listed at $6,280 a month.
4. A furnished studio for $1,076 per month
5. $673, not including utilities or the building fee.
6. 500 square feet for just over $2000 a month
7. A whopping 200 square feet for $717 a month.
8. 330 square feet for $1400
Please note that the rents listed above may not include utilities and/or building fees.
Major city-dwellers, does this look and sound like any areas of your city? Better yet, if you live in Seoul, or even Gangnam, are these pretty representative of the neighborhood?

Winegard's Carryout MP1: Satellite TV Antenna
February 10, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Winegard's Carryout MP1: Satellite TV Antenna
Winegard Co. introduces the Carryout MP1 manual portable satellite TV antenna. The Carryout is extremely compact and weighs only nine pounds. "Extensive market research showed us that there is a definite niche in the market for consumers who want a portable and affordable satellite TV antenna," said Aaron Engberg, director of Winegard's mobile products, in a news release. "Not everyone who wants a satellite TV system has an RV to mount it on, so our new Carryout MP1 satellite TV antenna is aimed directly at those consumers." The manual antenna stores in a compact, durable case that doubles as the antenna base when in use. The case features an easy-grip handle for carrying or locking down. A bubble level, compass and elevation markings molded into the base make set-up quick and easy. The Carryout MP1 comes with 25 feet of coax cable to allow for optimal antenna placement. The case with antenna measures 16 inches wide, 18 1/2 inches high and 10 inches deep. The unit supports two receivers (not included), and it is compatible with DIRECTV (standard only) and DISH Network (standard and HD). MSRP: $199.

Goats absolutely love to eat bushes, especially the fruit kind. In fact many people get goats just for that one thing, to clear out their land of briers and overgrowth. Out in California, for instance, goats are heavily coveted for keeping fire breaks clear during the wildfire season.
However, the fruit that I want to talk to you about is actually one that mixes very well with goats and gardens. I'm talking of course about goat droppings or more commonly known as "goat berries". When it comes to manure management goats are some of the cleanest animals you can have around. The reason they are called berries is obvious. Goat berries are solid, round, dark pellets about the same size as blueberries. From a healthy goat they are clean, dry and almost odorless and they stay that way for a long time. That property is what makes them one of the best fertilizers for your garden. In fact goat berries are unique from other forms of organic fertilizers in that there is no waiting for the manure to decompose before it can be used.
Most manures have to be dried and decomposed or the decomposition process will generate too much heat and kill the plants. Goat berries, however, dissolve slowly over time and release the nutrients into the soil at a perfect rate. My neighbor Warren calls them nature's "time-release capsules". One of the best crops of tomatoes we ever had was one where we mixed peat moss and a handful of goat berries with each plant. There was no smell and tomatoes were busting out everywhere that whole summer.
So besides all the other benefits of owning goats, now you have one more. That being, some of the best, free fertilizer you can get anywhere. Just make sure to close the gate behind you when you leave the garden or all those wonderful vegetables will quickly cycle their way right back into the goat again.
Happy gardening! ;-)

At least 11 incidences of burglary or robbery involving medical marijuana were reported from Meridian Township to Eaton Rapids in the past seven months. Six of them were residential. Nine of them were in the city of Lansing. Charges were brought in two.
But it has become clear: Just because you're legally involved in the cannabis business, either in your home or a storefront, it doesn't mean you're any safer.
On Dec. 30, three armed and masked men barged into Paula's home in rural Eaton County at about 8 p.m. Paula, who is 52 and does not want to give her last name or address, was inside with her son and granddaughter.
Paula is a medical marijuana patient and a caregiver for two others. She had between two-and-a-half and six ounces of usable marijuana stored in jars and $1,500 in cash in her purse. The intruders stole it all.
It's puzzling to Paula how anyone could know she had relatively small amounts of medical marijuana stored at her house. It's not like she had a neon pot leaf on her front door.
"I am not a drug dealer. I'm not doing this to get rich," Paula said.
Paula's two patients — she's allowed five — don't use that much medication. She ends up with overages at each harvest. She sells her overages to a dispensary in Lansing.
"My patients and the dispensary are the only two places that have seen my card and address," Paula said. She suspects she was "somehow set up or followed."
Paula reported to the Eaton County Sheriff 's Department that three men all dressed in black escaped in a dark-colored, four-door vehicle. Jessica Larkin, public information officer with the Eaton County Sheriff 's Department, confirmed that Paula filed a police report.
Since her ordeal, Paula installed security cameras, keeps her door locked at all times and owns a couple of guns, she said.
Larkin also said this is the first reported incident involving medical marijuana theft her department has seen. Paula claims that it's going on more than what is getting reported.
"I am not aware of anything like this (happening) before," Larkin said. "If they are not reporting it, it's a little bit suspicious."
In Lansing in the past six months, four residences involving medical marijuana growers were burglarized, according to the Police Department. Incidences on Stirling Avenue and Maple and Bristol streets are open investigations with no leads.
A suspect was charged with breaking and entering and possession with intent to deliver marijuana after a Nov. 8 incident on the 200 block of Mosley Street.
Another five burglaries and robberies occurred at dispensaries. Those are all open investigations with no leads.
Lansing Police Lt. Noel Garcia said there appears to be no connection among the nine Lansing cases.
HydroWorld at 4513 S. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., L.B. Mary Jane at 3711 W. Jolly Road, Turtle's at 2121 E. Michigan Ave. and an unknown location on the 5300 block of Pennsylvania Avenue have all been burglarized or robbed since Aug. 24, police said. An attempted robbery at Homemade Hydroponics on the corner of Mt. Hope and Pennsylvania avenues was foiled as store owners turned away a woman.
But that is only what has been reported, Garcia said, and the department is ramping up efforts to track medical marijuana crime. There could be more, he said.
"I'll tell you this: We're in the process of trying to better capture these types of incidences," he said.
On June 13 in Meridian Township, Bill Baechelor was the victim of an armed robbery at his home on Van Atta Road. Lt. Greg Frenger confirmed that armed robbery charges are pending against one person and that an undisclosed amount of marijuana was taken. He would not comment further because the case is still open. Frenger was unaware of any other instances of medical marijuana-related break-ins in Meridian Township.
What does this all mean, especially for people who thought it was innocuous to be growing a few plants in their basement?
It means they're engaging in a legal but dangerous business, Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings said.
"There are people who make their living by drug rips," Dunnings said, because it's a fairly expensive product. "If this is what you do and medical marijuana prices have gotten sky-high, who are you going to rip? Joe the Drug Dealer with guns and pit pulls or Joe Citizen growing medical marijuana?"
Dunnings said he has never seen a situation like this when law-abiding citizens are at a heightened risk even though they may be doing legitimate business.
"It's sort of like if everybody could print legal money. If someone doesn't want to set up a printing press they will go steal from someone else," he said.
Robin Schneider, owner of Capitol City Compassion Club at 2010 E. Michigan Ave., said there needs to be more acceptance of growers' moving their operations to a commercial facility without fear of being raided by the federal Drug Enforcement Agency. Property owners ought to be protected for leasing space to growers, she says.
"A lot of us have a vision of a safe grow facility away from our homes," she said. While she recognizes some growers' desire to stay at home, there should be more freedom to expand.
"When I was cultivating in my basement I barely slept at night. I knew there was an elevated risk of robbery," she said.
If they're set up legally, Dunnings said he agrees with Schneider, whom he has spoken with on multiple occasions.
As for those growing legally at home, Dunnings has some advice: "Be discreet. Get a dog."

1. load balanced - how to tell what servers user is onRavishankar Munukutla Jan 8, 2012 10:14 AM (in response to KL NameToUpdate)
Hi Kevin,
Please Refer to the post:
Page 15 from the above Doc
- Setup arsystem.response.hostip=true in Mid-Tier config.properties and restart Mid-Tier. This setting prints the Mid-Tier Host IP Address as the ARRESPONSEHOSTIP header in the HTTP Servlet Response. This can be used along with Fiddler for examining the HTTP Response Headers and for making sure that all Requests for a User Session are directed to the same Host IP Address. If all Requests for a User Session are not directed to the same Host IP Address, there can be a problem with Load Balancer settings."
tTis will help from the client machine/browser using fiddler logs- a given request is redirected to which Mid-tier.
Alternatively the logging can also be enabled at the Load Balancer level to know where the requests are getting re-directed too. ( The networking team that setup Load Balancer should help out with the LB logs)
2. load balanced - how to tell what servers user is onpatchsk NameToUpdate Jan 8, 2012 11:52 PM (in response to KL NameToUpdate)
For knowing the which midtier the user is connected to, we slightly modified the midtier login html page to add a hardcoded server name in it. The only down side with this is anytime you redploy midtier you need to redo these changes. And to to know the which arserver the midtier connected to, usually before 7.6.04 once the midtier connected to a arserver it will always connected to the same arserver untill the midtier or arserver is restarted.
So we usually check the user logs in each arserver to verify which midtier is connected to which arserver.
But with 7.6.04 it would be tricky becasue there is no need to maintain a session affinity between midtier and arserver. So these connections can be different from user to user.
3. load balanced - how to tell what servers user is onRon Pierce Jan 9, 2012 9:47 AM (in response to KL NameToUpdate)
For the ARS App Servers you can view the License Management form on each named server and see who is on it.

Hey patchsk:
Would you have that bit of code by chance to share with me?
thanks kevin
5. load balanced - how to tell what servers user is onJose Huerta Jan 10, 2012 7:27 AM (in response to KL NameToUpdate)
To show the mid-tier name in the Patchsk's way is very easy. Just modify the login.jsp file in the mid-tier. Is HTML, and there is an special space to put whatever you want. You can add
 Server 1
 at one server and
Server 2
 at the other server.

XFX & Sapphire HD 7950 3GB Review
The 7 series cards from AMD were officially launched right before CES, with plenty of fanfare and early performance numbers on paper a couple weeks earlier. This time around, AMD chose not to repeat the paper launch and instead, has decided to go with a hard launch today to introduce the second card in the HD 7900 series product stack, the HD 7950. Equipped with all of the features of AMD's Southern Islands (Tahiti) Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture which include Zero Core Power, PCIe 3.0, DX 11, AMD Powerplay technology, and a shrink to AMDs 28 nm process, the HD 7950 looks to impress and follow on the performance delivered by the HD 7970. Right out of the gate, we have a pair of cards that come factory overclocked and with improved cooling to help deliver both a cooler-running GPU and one that is much quieter than the traditional squirrel cage fan design used on the AMD's reference design cards. Both Sapphire and XFX have sent out their factory overclocked cards that come with clock speeds of 900 MHz on the 28 nm Tahiti core, alongside a memory speed of 1250 MHz on the Sapphire HD 7950 Overclocked Edition and 1375 MHz on the XFX HD 7950 Black Edition Double Dissipation. Previously, we saw how the HD 7970 3GB delivered world-class performance as the fastest single GPU video card on the market. Can AMD and their partners follow up by avoiding the sophomore slump and delivering that second punch to truly define the performance of their latest architecture? Let's see how the latest from both Sapphire and XFX perform, and compare them to past generations.
Closer Look:
The packaging for each of these cards is as unique as the company that sends them to market. XFX has loaded the packaging with the full 'what really matters' approach to selling the card, with a list of the technologies supported and attributes on the front, back, and sides. Highlights for the Black Edition Double Dissipation HD 7950 include Double Dissipation cooling, 3 GB of onboard memory, Ghost Thermal technology, and on the back, AMD's GCN Architecture, Power Tune Technology, and XFX X-factors that include Duratec capacitors and ferrite core chokes, HydroCell technology for cooling, GPU Edging, and 4K monitor support. Sapphire's packaging, on the other hand, is not as graphically intense, but gets the message across nonetheless. On their box, Sapphire has an iteration of Ruby all decked out for some war...games? The Radeon HD 7950's features are listed along the bottom of the front panel, while to the right, are images that list the amount of onboard GDDR5 memory, indicate that this is a factory overclocked version, and that Sapphires Trixx utility is included. The back panel goes into detail on AMD's GCN architecture, Eyefinity 2.0, and more.
Inside the outer sleeves are the boxes that hold each of the HD 7950s and associated hardware bundles. Sapphire's box is not illustrated and is a bit spartan compared to the XFX's packaging, which is black in color and displays XFX's logo and slogan. I think these small cost savings allow Sapphire to put together a more robust accessory bundle – more on that below. The bundle and card are held oppositely in each package – the bundle is on top in the XFX packaging and on the bottom in the Sapphire package.
The accessory bundle included each card is adequate to get the card installed and running, so that putting it in on a Saturday night for an all-night session does not end up being a one-sided affair, with you having difficulty finding that one last power connection to the card. Sapphire includes a pretty substantial bundle which include a 6-foot HDMI cable, DVI to D-sub adapter, two 4 pin molex to 6 pin PCIe power connections, a Crossfire Bridge connector, HDMI to DVI and mini DP to DP adapters, and last but not least, the documentation. XFX has a much slimmer bundle on the hardware side, with a HDMI to DVI adapter, Black Edition badge, and a Crossfire bridge connection.
Having looked at the XFX HD 7970 Black Edition already, expectations are high for this card from XFX – Sapphire's build looks equally appealing at this point and comes with a better bundle. It will be interesting to see which of these cards deliver the best performance, based on the difference in memory clock speeds. If overclocking potential is what we've seen on the HD 7970 series cards, then the second offering from AMD's 7 series lineup may look to keep itself in a dominant position for a while.

The Government of Tanzania and the UNDP work towards strengthened capacities in the Energy and Extractive Industries SectorsApr 4, 2014
Friday 4th April 2014: Today, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania through the Ministry of Energy and Minerals and the United Nations Development Programme in Tanzania signed a project document entitled 'Capacity Development in the Energy Sector and Extractive Industries' (CADESE).
CADESE is a demand-driven and results-based initiative that aims to support the government of Tanzania in achieving the Big Results Now (BRN) initiative, implementing the UN Secretary General's Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative, and implementing and promoting the African Union's (AU) initiative in Tanzania on the "Africa Mining Vision (AMV)." The project will focus on capacity development for the management of the energy sector and extractive industries (EI)/mining sector. The project will also enhance the capacity of the Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM) to strengthen the policy environment for inclusive and sustainable management of the energy sector and EI, and support the Rural Energy Agency (REA) in managing rural energy projects and programmes. Capacity development will be conducted through a range of interventions for MEM and REA officials, in collaboration with UONGOZI Institute (UI) and Attorney General's Chambers (AGC).
"UNDP appreciates the trust and the confidence that the Government of Tanzania has in us and we look forward to working with the Ministry of Energy, Rural Energy Agency, the Attorney General Chambers and the Uongozi Institute to implement the 'Africa Mining Vision' in Tanzania. This initiative is a step towards realizing a future for sustainable energy for all and UNDP is committed to support the Government in achieving its development priorities." said Philippe Poinsot, UNDP Resident Representative ai.
Eng. E. C Maswi, Permanent Secretary for Ministry of Energy and Minerals, stressed that "the extractive industries is a major source of investment and revenue for Tanzania. This project has the potential to contribute to the Government's efforts in ensuring that the country is well positioned to achieve a reasonable amount of revenue from the benefits accrued through the Energy and Extractive Industries Sectors. We look forward to working with UNDP and other key partners to implement the 'Africa Mining Vision' in Tanzania.
UNDP provides a range of services that support reforms of the energy sector including upgrading, local solutions and alternative sustainable options. This includes UNDP support to building capacities of national institutions through technical and financial support or facilitating partnerships between private and public institutions to promote the use of renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, and energy policies. Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative launched in 2011 by the UN Secretary General aiming at ensuring universal access to modern energy services, doubling the rate of energy efficiency, and doubling the share of renewable energy around the globe by 2030. UNDP plays a key role in coordinating the initiative and provide advisory support, technical assistance and implementation support around the three goals of the SE4ALL; energy access, renewable energy and energy efficiency.
The Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM) in Tanzania is mandated to facilitate development of energy and mineral sectors. Energy and Minerals resources play an important role in poverty reduction and in supporting socioeconomic development in Tanzania. The Ministry delivers various services related to development of energy and minerals resources through the participation of various stakeholders including public, private, public-private partnerships, local communities, NGOs and civil society.

I am talking about a relation that is what Wikipedia describes as left-unique and right-unique. I never heard these terms before, but I have heard of the alternatives (injective and functional). The question is, which terminology do you recommend? Should I include short definitions? (The context is a text in the area of formal methods. I'm not sure if this helps.)
These are some trade-offs that I see:
- I think that left-unique and right-unique are not widely known, but I'm not sure at all.
- functional is overloaded
- injective sounds too fancy (subjective, of course)
- left-unique and right-unique are symmetric (good, of course)
Edit: It seems the question is unclear. Here are more details. I describe sets X and Y and then say:
- now we must find an injective and functional relation between sets X and Y such that...
- now we must find a left-unique and right unique relation between sets X and Y...
Which one do you recommend? What other information would you add? The relation does not have to be total. For example, various different ranges correspond to different 'feasible' relations. Technically I should not need to say that the relation does not have to be total, but will many people assume that it has to be total if I don't say it?

Florida Man Set on Fire by His Dog
We natives of Broward County, Florida, are really good at two things: shopping, and screwing up voting. Oh, and also setting our dogs on fire, then letting the flaming dogs set our spouses on fire, then dumping our flaming dogs in swimming pools and getting on the news.
Telma Botcherby, the dog's owner was treating her dog with flea and tick spray when she then noticed a live tick on the floor and tried to burn it with a lighter, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office report. The dog became startled and jumped across where Botcherby was trying to burn the tick. The dog then burst into flames, officials said.
Botcherby screamed for her husband, Jess Olivas, who picked up the dog in his arms and jumped into a swimming pool.
Olivas, of Parkland, was then taken to North Broward Hospital and later transferred to Jackson Memorial as a trauma alert for treatment of his second degree burns. Officials said 18 to 24 percent of Olivas' body was burned including his right arm, left forearm, chest and face.
We wish Olivas a speedy recovery. And to the dog, too: The family was too poor to take the dog to an urgent care clinic that night, so his burns had to wait for treatment until a local animal hospital opened the next morning.
Oh, also: Don't fuck around with open flames near your dog's Advantix, for God's sake.

How are the stresses of "achievement culture" affecting today¹s kids? In Abeles' documentary film Race to Nowhere, the Bay Area education reformer and mother of three explores how excessive homework, academic stress, high-stakes testing, the college admissions process and the prevailing competitive climate across the nation are redefining childhood. As the subjects of her film share, the pressure to perform has spawned a
dangerous epidemic of anxious, unhealthy and unprepared students. After more than 6,000 screenings around the globe, Race to Nowhere continues to be an enduring touchstone for parents and educators seeking to redefine success and ignite change in their school communities. Join Abeles and Boaler for an engaging evening of discussion about the obstacles to far-reaching and widespread change and their view of what's possible when people put research into practice and bring humanity and sanity back to our schools and our children's lives.

Long-Term Review
2013 Mazda CX-5: Luxury Car Amenities
My first experience in our long-term 2013 Mazda CX-5 was largely an impressive one. While it may be a little light on power, the crossover's handsome styling and razor-sharp handling go a long way to make up for it. But the CX-5's real strong point is its long list of features.
While a CX-5 Grand Touring equipped like ours might seem steeply priced at just under $29,000 with shipping, it's hard to beat the luxury equipment on our test car. Audiophiles, for example, will enjoy standard satellite radio and HD radio. There's dual-zone automatic climate control for those couples who just can't agree on a temperature setting.
Xenon headlights help you see at night - and our CX-5 even includes Mazda's Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) which swivels the lights around corners. There's a backup camera for the clumsy drivers among us (me included). Automatic wipers sense rain, while automatic headlights sense darkness. And by now, it won't surprise you to hear our test car has leather seats with handsome red stitching throughout.
Yes, $29,000 does seem like a lot of money for a car with just 155 horsepower. But for drivers who rarely put their foot to the floor, the 2013 Mazda CX-5's luxury-car equipment make it seem like a steal.

It isn't often that one gets to say that California has gotten it right in terms of attracting and supporting cutting-edge business enterprises. But in advanced bio-fuels, a new report says the state is leading the way.
E2, also known as Environmental Entrepreneurs, is a Washington-based group of "business leaders who promote sound environmental policy that builds economic prosperity."
E2's new analysis of the nation's advanced bio-fuels industry said that California had 30 of the more than 80 companies that now operate in 27 states.
Advanced bio-fuels, also known as second or third generation bio-fuels, can be developed from a broad array of feedstock, such as woody biomass, Brazilian sugar cane, algae, and much more.
