Hmm, from how Kurohime talking about the apprentice and master relationship. Could Red Rider's girl friend be Kurohime's master? It sounded like she was betrayed by her master?
Zeh holy cow. 1 Day IRL = 3 years in the Accel World? Man, I think one would go crazy or severly dysfunction because you don't sleep, eat or tire in long period of time. I would think they would forget about how hunger, sleep or even the urge to go to the bathroom would feel like.

Let's take a check on all the kings. There is Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, Purple, and White.
-Red is a friendly.
-Blue is already shown and is too honorable, so that excludes him.
-Purple seems more angry at her than the other way around. That leaves Yellow, Green, and White.
-She was working with Green before to help fight the previous Chrome Disaster, so there is that possibility. However, KYH showed no anger towards him in that review, so I don't think it is him either.
-Yellow is shown to be deceitful, so there is a high chance it is him, considering the talk about it this episode and his appearance in it.
-The only other choice is White, but we know absolutely nothing about him.

I feel fresh after the show resumed from its two-weeks hiatus.
Now, all the theories concerning the identity of KYH's guardian seem interesting, and I believe it could actually affect the outlook of the bond Haru holds for her.
Pretty heroic and dramatic for Haru to declare that he'll rather uninstall Brain Burst than having to fight KYH before her. Under normal circumstances that route could play out, but I strongly have the feeling with the Kings starting to move and things going messy from now on my guess is that it won't be Haru's choice anymore to play that decision.
The Yellow King pretty much ran his real colors if he went with all the trouble to plan this scheming trickery far ahead, or I think he simply took advantage of Chrome Disaster's rampage to wait for any opening for Black Lotus to show herself along with her Legion; killing multiple birds with a stone, if we also take into consideration that the Yellow King won't miss either the chance to get rid of Scarlet Rain; if he can use Chrome Disaster's rampage as a venue to do so it might be possible, so as long as he doesn't get involved too much, but the right amount of time to have Black Lotus disposed of.

Haru's school avatar (pink pig) is as high as a knee, the staff must really like to make him super deformed
Great episode, the neutral zone looks fantastic, I imagined it more like a zone where the various stages (purgatory, swamp etc.) make up the field. This field reminds me of Tron Legacy for some reason.
Didn't know Taku could summon and dismiss his spike, is it something the staff added or from the author?
Emergency landing in a crater, it added a nice dramatic touch to it. Yellow Radio reminds me of Piedmon, from the first Digimon show

Haru was kinda liking that he had two girls around him ^^
Chiyu as Burst Linker, good or not really?
Who knew master-protege link could be a double edged sword..
Niko isn't as bad as I originally though, she's more of a tsundere than anything else.
Unlimited burst in the huge Accel World... now that was very interesting.
Well.... they sure got surrounded pretty quick.

First of all some of the invites probably didn't work and player child didn't get a proper working installation.
Then comes the people who loose all their points and get a forced uninstall before they can get a child.
Basically this game should already be long dead. Not to mention that admin at start had to send thousands of invites.
Waiting for lime bell.

1) They're still a burst linker
2) They're female
And since she was close to Red Rider without being parent/child, I was leaning toward the Purple Lady (or whatever the Purple King's name is, I'm going by what Nickel Doll called her a few episodes back). It would explain why betraying Red Rider hurts her so much. However, since Kuroyukihime doesn't want to fight this person out of fear of real life retaliation, even upon defeat, I don't think it'll turn out to be a King. If it were a King, then all she'd have to do is off the parent and it'd be over, due to the forced uninstall and memory-wipe. It's likely some level 7 or 8 player with the skill or power equivalent to that of a King.

I'm not convinced KYH's parent's a king. She said that she won't fight her parent no matter how much she wants to, and yet she turned against the kings in the worst way.
Also, I feel sorry for him but Taku's so cute when he's dejected.

Wicked weather tests mettle of Granite StatersBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
February 08. 2013 9:19PM
HAMPTON - Rob Hunt knew the blizzard was going to be bad when he showed up at Jumpin Jacks Java and found owner Nick Birmbas wearing sweatpants.
Birmbas wears shorts year-round, but decided it was best to leave them home when he headed off to work at his café on Ocean Boulevard in Hampton.
The café is one of the few places open on the beach during the winter months and Birmbas said he had no plans to close today. He also expects to stick to his 6 a.m. opening time.
"As long as we have power I'll be here," he said Friday.
But whether he'll be able to make it to work is another story.
Forecasters said the potentially historic storm could cripple southeastern New Hampshire with more than two feet of snow.
Blizzard warnings were expanded Friday morning across all of Rockingham and Strafford counties and eastern Hillsborough County through 4 p.m. Saturday as heavy snow and winds gusting up to 50 mph or higher were expected to create whiteout conditions.
"Certainly this is going to be one of the more significant storms that has hit the state in quite a while," said John Jensenius, warning-coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
Snow began falling early Friday morning and was expected to become heavy overnight with blizzard conditions keeping plow truck operators busy.
By the time the storm winds down Saturday afternoon, Jensenius said southern parts of the state and the Seacoast could be digging out from between 20 and 30 inches of wind-blown snow.
Up to a foot of snow is expected to fall in northern New Hampshire.
A coastal flood warning also remained in effect for the New Hampshire coastline Saturday for the threat of moderate to major coastal flooding.
Jensenius said coastal flooding is a serious concern with a storm surge of 1.5 to 2.5 feet at the time of this morning's high tide, around 10 a.m.
Despite the threat, Hampton Police Chief Jamie Sullivan - who is also the town's emergency management director - said there were no plans to evacuate residents from low-lying areas and other places where flooding could be a problem.
For coastal residents, this massive storm brought back memories of the great Blizzard of '78. Long-time Hampton residents Jim Davies and his wife, Barbara Stone, remember that storm well. They live on Ocean Boulevard, not far from North Beach.
"I remember seeing a Volkswagen on top of another car," Stone said.
The deep floodwaters back then lifted the vehicle off the ground and made quite a mess. They're keeping their fingers crossed that this blizzard won't be a repeat.
"Hope for the best," Stone said.
While power companies were preparing for possible outages from the strong winds, Jensenius said he wasn't expecting widespread problems.
"The snow is light and dry and fluffy so it won't be sticking," he said. "The ground is frozen and that should work to our benefit to stabilize trees."
Meanwhile, the blizzard forced schools to close Friday, and many businesses that didn't shut down let their workers leave early to get them off the roads before the worst of the storm moved in.
All state beaches on the Seacoast have also been closed until Sunday morning.
But before things went downhill, many people took advantage of the calm before the storm by taking a walk or jog along the ocean.
Colorado residents Chris Greer and his fiancée, Kate Leary, joined Leary's father, Mark, of Raymond and Ed the boxer dog for some playtime with a ball. The couple arrived in New Hampshire for a visit Thursday night and planned to stay until Tuesday.
While Greer, a Colorado native, has experienced snowstorms before, he said he's never seen a New England blizzard and was pretty excited.
Inside Jumpin Jacks Java, customers sipped on their coffees and munched on muffins and bagels as they watched the angry seas that continued to build throughout the day.
Hunt, who arrived for his coffee in the morning, said he planned to spend Friday wiring up portable generators for homeowners worried about losing power.
Hunt owns Coastal Electric Service in Hampton and is also often contracted by Public Service of New Hampshire to help restore power during outages.
After the paralyzing ice storm of 2008, the windstorm of 2010, the Halloween nor'easter of 2011, and Hurricane Sandy last year, Hunt said, "It's surprising to me that people still call because you would think everyone has a generator by now."
Paula Wood of Seabrook wasn't too worried about the blizzard because the snow was expected to be light and shouldn't leave too much weight on the roof of her mobile home.
She also didn't join the crowds that hit the grocery stores to stock up on milk and other foods.
"I don't have a generator so I'm not going to stock my refrigerator," said Wood, who was armed with her camera and planned to grab some shots at the beach.

"Critical Analysis"—or Critical Deception?
AAAS CEO Alan I. Leshner
Writing in the Akron Beacon-Journal, AAAS CEO Alan I. Leshner urged voters in this fall's Ohio state Board of Education races to be wary of the intelligent design movement's misleading "critical analysis" campaign.
In a commentary published Monday 11 September, Leshner said that efforts by intelligent design advocates to promote "critical analysis" of evolution and other controversial science issues put Ohio's economy and the future of its children at risk.
Leshner, who also serves as executive publisher of the journal Science, wrote that true critical analysis is at the heart of the scientific method.
"But critical analysis, as a slogan embraced by the intelligent design movement, turns the scientific method upside-down," he said. "Proponents start with their conclusion that evolution alone cannot explain the origins of humanity and then construct an argument to undermine evolution. They do no formal experiments to test their hypothesis, and so they have no findings to publish in scientific journals. They produce no hard evidence. They discover nothing."
Leshner's commentary was published on the day that a committee of the Ohio state Board of Education was to consider a "Controversial Issues template" advanced by ID advocates. It would subject evolution and issues such as stem cell research and climate change to "critical analysis" in the state's public school science classes. The committee adjourned Monday without discussing the template. The full Board of Education, meeting Tuesday, also did not address the template.
Ohio has been a national leader in the "critical analysis" campaign. In 2002, it was the first state to adopt standards that called for critical analysis of evolution. Last year, however, Ohio science leaders offered evidence that grossly inaccurate elements of the state's critical analysis lesson plan were drawn directly from intelligent design resources. And U.S. District Court Judge John E. Jones III ruled that intelligent design could not be taught alongside science in Dover, Pa., schools; the judge called the critical analysis argument a "sham."
The Ohio school board, divided and under national scrutiny, then took critical analysis out of its lesson plan.
But the issue is expected to be a prominent theme in this fall's campaigns for the Board of Education.
The effort by ID proponents "divides us at a time when we should be united behind efforts to preserve our status as a global powerhouse of innovation," Leshner concluded in his commentary. "Rather than confuse students with misleading attacks on evolution and other issues, we need to teach science better than ever to inspire a new generation and secure America's future."

CME Group Inc. has extended the review period for its proposal to increase the daily price limit on Chicago Board of Trade corn futures and options amid continued opposition to the proposal from corn end users and producers.
The exchange is seeking to raise the daily limit for corn futures at the Chicago Board of Trade to 40¢ from 30¢. It needs approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
The CFTC on Monday said it had approved a request from CME Inc. that it extend the review period for the proposal by 45 days from Friday, which was the original deadline.
"During the extended review period, which will begin on June 24 and continue through August 8, CME Group plans to hold an industry meeting to explain the rationale for the proposal and its relationship to volatility and the procedure used by CME Clearing to set margin levels for corn and other grains," the exchange said in a special report.
CME Inc. originally sought to raise the corn futures daily price limit to 50¢, but scaled back its proposal in May after the CFTC received only negative comments on the initial proposal from a variety of corn industry sources including farm co-ops, grain merchandisers, farm lenders and end users, including major corn processors.
Comments have continued to run overwhelmingly against the scaled-back proposal with respondents citing concerns that wider price limits will increase market volatility and expose hedgers to bigger margin calls if prices surge.
In a letter opposing CME Inc's current plan, the National Grain and Feed Association also pointed out increasing the daily price limits on corn futures to 40¢ could create a situation where commercial grain firms would be forced to cut back on offerings of cash forward contracts to producers.
Such a situation arose in 2008 when many grain merchandisers stopped buying corn more than 30-60 days out because they were financially stressed by large margin call on futures hedges.
CME Inc. last widened the limit for CBOT corn futures in March of 2008 with an increase to 30¢ from 20¢. Nearby corn futures at the time were trading around $5.50/bu. and ended up climbing to a record high of $7.65 in June of that year.
That price record was broken earlier this month, with the nearby July corn contract reaching a new, all-time high of $7.99 3/4/bu. The nearby contract traded Monday around $7.
Editor's note: Richard Brock, Corn & Soybean Digest's marketing editor, is president of Brock Associates, a farm market advisory firm, and publisher of The Brock Report.

I was flat out lied to by everyone I spoke with at the company over the 20 days (as of today) since my order was placed. My credit card was billed immediately for $3000+ upon the placement of the order on 1/17. I was told twice that the order was to be shipped the next day, then, that they were cancelling the order because they were unable to "get" the camera body, then, when I said I wanted my card credited IMMEDIATELY, I was transferred to a manager/owner ** that told me they had to pay a few hundred dollars more to "get" the camera.
t was not my problem and I would be paying the same, and that it would ship out by 1/30 at the very latest, and to call him back to confirm on his cell phone. His phone has been turned off, and when I sent a follow up email yesterday on 2/5, I was called back and told the order is cancelled, thay cannot obtain the camera, and that my money would be refunded in 3-4 days. The camera was still listed as "in stock" as of yesterday, 2/5/07, while I was having the conversation with the new customer service manager **. As of 11.26 AM on 2/6, it is still listed as "IN STOCK": http://www.mytaxfree.com/ViewProducts3.aspx?ID=4328
I have no reason to believe that I will get the credit on my card as they have not told the truth once. My attorney says this constitutes fraud, my next letter is to the Better Business Bureau in both Delaware and PA since there seems to be some question as to where they are located, and legal action may be taken.
BEWARE!!! - I ordered a Samsung LCD TV on August 28th. The website clearly stated that most orders are shipped in 1 to 3 days. A week later I called about the status of the order and not only had it not shipped, but they could not even provide me with a possible ship date. I cancelled the order and then was contacted by a sales rep who promised I would receive the TV no later than September 8th if I did not cancel the order. I foolishly agreed and did not order the TV from a more reputable vendor as I needed it for a company party on September 10th.
When the item failed to arrive on the 8th as promised, I called and was assured that the item had shipped - ANOTHER LIE! They never shipped it until September 13th and I never received in until the 18th! Prior to the item shipping, the price dropped $100 and to their credit they refunded the difference at my request. However, since it took so long for me to receive the TV, there was another drop before I got it. Despite the hassle they had caused me they refused to give me the credit. CONSIDER ANOTHER RETAILER!!! I'll be curious to see whether or not the company responds to the e-mail, but I can assure you that I have documentation to support every detail!
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- Ordered a Pioneer car stereo and satellite tuner on 7/17/2006. Full amount was charged to my bank account. The order was never received. Many, many complaints to their customer service department both in email and phone format with zero results. It's now 1 August, 2006 and I still do not have the products ordered nor do I have any idea when they will be shipped. Save your money and stay away from MYTAXFREE.COM. As far as I can tell, they're fraudulent.

|Broncos | Will be committed to running the football
Sat, 22 Jan 2011 09:55:02 -0800
New Denver Broncos head coach John Fox has retained five of the team's former assistant coaches on offense, reports Jeff Legwold, of The Denver Post. Clancy Barone will coach tight ends, Eric Studesville will coach running backs, Adam Gase will handle quarterbacks, Brian Callahan will be an offensive assistant breaking down the team's opponents. Mike McCoy, who has a history with Fox, is remaining as the offensive coordinator. Under Fox, the team will have a commitment to the running game, especially in short-yardage situations. Last year, the Broncos had 18 third-and-1 situations and passes on six of them, converting just one. In seven third-and-2 situations, they passed the ball five times with just two conversions. The only coaches on the defensive side retained were defensive line coach Wayne Nunnely and defensive assistant in breaking down opponents Jay Rodgers.

Angle Oar 'Weightless' Paddle Offers Kayaking to New Groups of People
Jan 31, 2014, 08:30 EST
SAN LUIS OBIPSO, Calif., Jan. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Until recently, in order to kayak, a person had to have two fully functioning arms, strong back and core muscles, an absence of shoulder injuries, and cardiovascular endurance. Those preconditions have now been eliminated thanks to the introduction of a new "weightless" kayak paddle, called the Angle Oar.

In January, Angle Oar, LLC, began offering its newly patented kayak paddle which is opening up kayaking to millions of new enthusiasts, including people with physical disabilities, senior citizens, one arm amputees, kayak anglers, children and novice kayakers who want to enjoy the sport without all the physical exertion. "The Angle Oar is not intended to replace or improve upon a traditional kayak paddle - the stroke patterns and maneuverability are very different. Instead, it gives people who would never have been able to kayak, due to strength limitations or health conditions, the opportunity to do so," said Meg McCall, president of Angle Oar.
"I had both of my shoulders repaired surgically a few years back, so I'm hesitant to kayak for even short distances. I've been all over the Internet for months looking for a product like this. It will impact so many people," said Nicole Studebaker, a Michigan woman with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a disorder that affects the formation of connective tissue.
The Angle Oar rests upon a post that is attached to the kayak and absorbs the weight of the paddle. The two shafts each angle downward roughly 25 degrees and rotate about a clevis and post. The paddle can also be removed from the mount and used as a traditional straight paddle (i.e., 180 degrees). The Angle Oar system eliminates the torso rotation, shoulder and upper body movement normally required to propel a kayak. (See video.) As a result, even someone with one arm can easily use the paddle. "The Angle Oar is a great way for people to paddle with only one arm, whether for people who can only use one side or for fishermen who want to paddle with one arm and fish with the other," said Tom Reilly, ACA-certified paddling instructor and owner of Momentum Paddle Sports.
The device was designed by avid outdoorsman and retired engineer, Jim Van Gompel, who took up kayaking a decade ago at age 75. With more than 60 patents to his name, Van Gompel knew there was a way to reduce the physical exertion required to enjoy a day of fishing and kayaking. His daughter, Meg McCall, a former IT marketing executive, is heading up the company. "When I tried it, I was hooked. I can paddle for hours without breaking a sweat, which means I can focus more on the beauty of my surroundings," said McCall.
The Angle Oar is currently in production and will be available in April 2014. Pre-orders can be placed via the company website at www.angleoar.com. Angle Oar is also exhibiting at this year's Canoecopia in Madison, Wi, March 7 – 9.

need some advise here - I´m looking for a board for the following conditions:
- rider 1,73 m; 75 kg
- kite Ion IV 12.5 m
- sea (minimum/average chop) / wind condition: around 10 to 12 knots
- freeride (some jumps, back-roll, front-roll, ie: basic tricks)
- hate to walk!
Would like some advise on the following:
- Btw all the dimensions on the Door boards, what do u think it will suit best?
(i´m afraid about going to small and..walk versus having a Viking war-ship under my foots..)
- Does the difference btw the High Tec and Fun Tec would worth the premium cost?
(not so much premium if you consider amortization over 3 to 5 year time, but there is still a Euro delta btw both options...)
- What´s the physics behind "Jet bottom tec"?
- I was curious seeing FlyDoor uses an assymetric shape.. again, anyone got an explanation about the plus/minus of such a design solution?
many thanks, tiago

Patrick Dinkins sips a spoonful of coffee with a loud slurp, then pauses. As he rinses his tasting spoon, he launches into an analysis.
"It's still kind of sweet. There are still some of those caramelly, chocolaty notes in there," he said. "It's got fairly nice body to it. The acidity is really muted."
Most coffee drinkers don't put this much thought into their morning brew. As long as it's hot and plentiful, they're happy.
Not Dinkins.
As a licensed Q Grader, one of only about 240 in the country, he's been trained to evaluate and score the quality of coffee from raw bean to finished product. His palate is sensitive enough to determine where a coffee was grown and how it was roasted, as well as the individual flavor components in each coffee.
"I can tell if there's Centrals in there," Dinkins said about his ability to pinpoint the origin of a bean to Central America. "I can tell if there are Brazils in there. Brazils are very distinct."
Now one of the kings of coffee tasting, Dinkins started out working in the warehouse and making deliveries for a local coffee company.
"I found that working with coffee can be a real challenge -- whether it's sourcing the best green [coffee beans] or figuring out how to roast a particular coffee to get the most of out it -- and I do like a challenge," he said.
In 10 years' time, Dinkins worked his way up, eventually arriving at his current role as roast master and quality lead for Cameron's Coffee in Shakopee.
Dinkins tests every batch to ensure that Cameron's various blends and roasts taste the same nationwide. That means he typically does 10 to 20 tastings a day. Just how much coffee does that add up to?
"A lot," Dinkins said with a smile. He brushes away questions about coffee jitters, but admits that he drinks coffee every day, even outside of work.
"If I don't have it in the morning, it definitely affects me," he said.
Cupping a cuppa
Dinkins spends his days not tasting, but "cupping," that's how a grader evaluates the quality of brewed coffee. For the 46-year-old Winstead man, it involves the collaborative effect of smell and taste.
"When I grind the coffee [beans], or when I smell them, I can definitely pick it up if there's something wrong," he said. "Then when I get to the taste, it's amplified."
And he's meticulous in his process.
He weighs out 9 grams of consistently ground coffee beans, heats the water to 200 degrees, pours the water over the coffee, and lets it steep for four minutes. He then continuously tastes the product as it goes from hot to cold, because the flavor can change as the coffee cools.
"There's a certain amount of science to it, and there is a certain amount of art to it," Dinkins said.
It is pretty easy for Dinkins to tell if something is off.
"Each roast level tastes a little bit different. Each blend tastes a little bit different, so I know in my head what they should taste like," he said. "If there is something wrong, it shows up."
Just one bad bean can send an alarm to his taste buds. In a recent comparison of Brazilian light roast samples, he detected a "grassy," almost fermented note in one batch. He attributed the off taste to a single bean.
Training and passion
Dinkins' certification put him on the same page with some of the world's best coffee graders.
Getting there wasn't easy.
While anyone can enroll in the five-day course through the California-based Coffee Quality Institute, those who pass the rigorous final test to become a Q Grader have years of experience in the business and an expertise in cupping. Even then, a majority of students don't pass on the first try, according to Alexandra Katona-Carroll, program manager.
In one of the most difficult portions of the test, three samples of brewed coffee were set out to cup, two of which were the same. Dinkins had to select the sample that was different. To make it even more challenging, the lab was illuminated with red lights, so students couldn't let the coffee's color inform their decision.
It takes, said Katona-Carroll, "a lot of practice within the industry and a lot of practice with your senses, understanding taste and perception of taste."
Dinkins brings not only perception, but also passion.
"If you were to meet 100 people who are passionate about coffee, Patrick would be the top of the list," Bill Kirkpatrick, owner of Cameron's Coffee, said via e-mail. "Patrick has the training and natural abilities to break apart coffee aroma and tastes. You may taste coffee and think 'This is very good.' Patrick can tell why."
That's why Cameron's takes care to protect one of its most valuable assets: Dinkins' nose.
"We never send him into our flavoring room. ... We don't have him cup flavored coffee, because it would mess up his senses," said Chris Castillon, vice president of operations. "We have to be careful about that. If he has a cold, we have to account for that."
For his part, Dinkins is more than happy to drink coffee all day. He has only one requirement: It has to be good.
"Life's too short to drink bad coffee," he said.

We recommend scheduling your child's dental appointments every six months. We will do an oral exam, clean your child's teeth and apply fluoride at each of these appointments.
At about 6 months, the two lower front teeth (central incisors) will typically erupt first, followed shortly by the two upper central incisors. The remainder of the baby teeth appear during the next 18 to 24 months, but not necessarily in an orderly sequence from front to back. At 2 to 3 years, all of these 20 primary teeth should be present.
Sore gums and jaws when teeth erupt are part of the normal eruption process. The discomfort is eased for some children by use of a teething biscuit, a piece of toast, or a frozen teething ring. Your pharmacy may also have medications that can be rubbed on the gums to reduce the discomfort.
A toothbrush with soft bristles and a very small head is the best choice for infants and toddlers. Brushing at least once a day, at bedtime, will remove plaque bacteria that can lead to decay.
We recommend using fluoride toothpaste when your child's first baby molars emerge. At this stage, it is important to limit the amount to a smear of toothpaste. As your child grows and becomes more comfortable spitting, the amount should increase to about the size of a pea.
Thumb and pacifier habits that go on for a long period of time can create crowded and crooked teeth or bite problems. If children are still sucking their thumbs or fingers when the permanent teeth arrive, a mouth appliance may be recommended by your dentist. Most children stop these habits on their own.
We recommend replacing your child's toothbrush every three to four months, or if the bristles are noticeably worn. Also, if your child gets sick, replace the toothbrush after he/she is well again.
Yes! Remember, your child will likely need your help to floss. It is an important habit to start. Encourage your child to floss at least once a day.
To comfort your child, rinse his/her mouth with warm salt water and apply a cold compress or ice wrapped in a cloth on your child's face if it is swollen. Do not put heat on the sore area. See us as soon as possible.
Four things are necessary for cavities to form -- a tooth, bacteria, sugars or other carbohydrates and time. Dental plaque is a thin, sticky, colorless deposit of bacteria that constantly forms on everyone's teeth. When you eat, the sugars in your food cause the bacteria in plaque to produce acids that attack the tooth enamel. With time and repeated acid attacks, the enamel breaks down and a cavity forms.
Primary, or "baby," teeth are important for many reasons. Not only do they help children speak clearly and chew naturally, they also aid in forming a path that permanent teeth can follow when they are ready to erupt. Some of them are necessary until a child is 12 years old or longer. Pain, infection of the gums and jaws, impairment of general health and premature loss of teeth are just a few of the problems that can happen when baby teeth are neglected.
All of our practices use digital x-rays. The amount of radiation received in a digital dental x-ray is extremely small, much less than conventional dental x-rays. Even though there is very little associated risk, our dentists are always careful to minimize the exposure of our patients to radiation.
A mouth guard should be a top priority on your child's list of sports equipment. Athletic mouth protectors, or mouth guards, are made of soft plastic and fit comfortably to the shape of the upper teeth. They protect a child's teeth, lips, cheeks, and gums from sports-related injuries. Any mouth guard works better than no mouth guard, but a custom-fitted mouth guard fitted by our dentist is your child's best protection against sports-related injuries.

The Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) Program provides community-based services to young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Our program provides comprehensive one-to-one treatment for young children who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Treatment usually starts in the child's home. As the child learns new skills, treatment is expanded to include early childhood education settings, the community, and other settings.
The program emphasizes a positive and systematic way of teaching skills and reducing behavioral problems. Treatment teams focus on creativity and flexibility, and work with available resources to develop a plan for each child.
The program uses applied behavior analysis principles to determine a young child's behavioral deficits and excesses. The program also teaches appropriate behaviors through the use of EIBI theories, including the analysis of verbal behavior, discrete trial teaching, applied verbal behavior methods, and natural environment teaching.
EIBI staff make every effort to create a setting that maximizes the child's successes and minimizes failures. To help accomplish this, we simplify requests, prompt the child to make correct responses, and provide ample reinforcement for appropriate behaviors. It is important to make sure the child is motivated to participate in the process.
Treatment is focused on providing behavior support that allows children to achieve their individual potential and may include:
The program accepts young children up to five years of age (fifth birthday must occur after September 1) who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and who qualify for medical assistance.
A psychiatric or psychological evaluation that recommends an intensive level of behavioral intervention is necessary. Children receive treatment as long as all involved parties agree at interagency meetings. Children who are in full-time placements through their school districts are not eligible.
Intensive treatment is provided in the home for the child, along with support and supervision for the parents.

JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Bank of America Corp. won a delay of Dodd-Frank Act requirements that they wall off some derivatives trades from bank units backed by federal deposit insurance.
Commercial banks including the Wall Street firms may get as long as an additional two years -- until July 2015 -- to comply with the rules, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said in a notice yesterday. The so-called pushout provision was included in the 2010 financial-regulation law as a way to limit taxpayer support for risky derivatives trades.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission and other regulators need to complete swap rules to allow "federal depository institutions to make well-informed determinations concerning business restructurings that may be necessary," the OCC said in the notice. Dodd-Frank requires that equity, some commodity and non-cleared credit derivatives be moved into separate affiliates without federal assistance.
Regulators including Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke had opposed the provision, saying it would drive derivatives to less-regulated entities. In February, the House Financial Services Committee approved with bipartisan support legislation that would let banks keep commodity and equity derivatives in insured units by removing part of the rule.
The OCC is prepared to "consider favorably" requests for transition, the regulator said in the six-page notice. The agency said delays could be extended for a third year based on consultations with other regulators.
OCC Report
JPMorgan had 99 percent of its $72 trillion in notional swaps trades in its commercial bank in the third quarter of 2012, according to the OCC's quarterly derivatives report. Bank of America had 68 percent of its $64 trillion in its commercial bank, according to the report.
Banks including Citigroup Inc. will be given as long as two years beyond the July 16 deadline to move their swaps businesses, the OCC said. They must submit written requests describing how a transition period would reduce harmful effects on mortgage lending, job creation and capital formation. The requests, which must be submitted by Jan. 31, also must weigh how the transition period would affect insured depositors.

The Greenkill Avenue bridge, before and after
Here's a couple of 360° images of the Greenkill Ave. Bridge over Broadway in Kingston.
The first one, at night, is when they were working on the beams, from Monday night. The drivable part of the bridge was already gone.
This next one is from almost the same spot (the sidewalk was closed so I couldn't get to the precise location, but close enough). It is from this morning.
Big difference!

I recently spent some time with a friend I hadn't seen in quite awhile. She has two sons, close in age to my own. When all four boys were small, the six of us spent quite a bit of time together.
She was the consummate organizer — always quick to suggest a new hiking trail, a field trip, an adventure. I was the overwhelmed small business owner and full-time mom who gratefully followed her lead, knowing my sons would never have slept under the stars on the balcony of a mountain cabin or hiked with llamas or rafted down the Colorado River if it weren't for her.
As the boys grew, they pursued different interests, found different friends, grew in different directions. Though their tight connections unraveled, my friend and I stayed close.
But when her family moved to Portland, the frequency of our visits dropped dramatically. Sometimes I'd only see her once a year, when she came back during the winter holidays.
In December 2009 , I was getting ready to start up Piestewa Peak with my husband and my brother, who was visiting from Seattle. I turned around, and there was my friend. We hugged and made enthusiastic exclamations about how we should get together. I promised to call.
I never did. And I felt so guilty about it that I let many more months pile up, until it felt like the tie had perhaps been severed for good.
But I mourned the loss of this special friend, to whom I'd often confided my deepest thoughts and feelings, knowing that she would always be straight with me in her response. So on her birthday last week, I sent her an email. I told her that I missed her and that every time I was hiking in the desert, I thought of her.
Much to my delight, she responded immediately. Better yet, she was here in town! We made plans to get together for a hike.
When I met her at the trailhead, it was as if no time at all had passed. My sense of comfort with her was intact, untainted by the lapse of time. For the next hour and a half, we caught up on each other's lives as we made a wide loop through the Phoenix Mountain Preserve.
When it was time to go, I told her how glad I was to have had the time with her. I apologized for the fact that my self-absorbed distractions made me such a bad friend.
Her reassurance was immediate. "I stopped judging friendships a long time ago," she said. "When we cross paths, we cross paths. When we don't, we don't."
She knows that real friendships have no room for societal conventions, unrealistic expectations or guilt. Real friendships just are.

SOUTH EASTON, Mass., Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) ("PBI" or the "Company") today announced that scientists from two separate research groups presented data at the recent HUPO 11th Annual World Congress (Boston, MA) indicating that the incorporation of the Company's Pressure Cycling Technology ("PCT") Platform into their sample preparation processes resulted in a marked improvement in the quality and/or efficiency of test results. These studies were presented by scientists from the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research of the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and from Janssen Research and Development ("Janssen").
Dr. Michail Alterman and colleagues from the FDA presented on the "Global Proteomic Architecture of Culture-Expanded Human Bone Marrow Multipotent Stromal Cells (MSCs) and the Proteomic Basis of Heterogeneity". MSCs are believed to offer huge potential for cell-based therapies for a wide variety of diseases. Currently, MSC studies are primarily focused on highly abundant proteins, which are generally unable to reveal important cellular events. The authors presented on the use of a highly improved approach to sample preparation and protein identification. This approach allowed them to better identify and analyze events likely to control the biology of the MSCs. Such information could be essential in the design and development of new, life-saving cell-based therapies. The authors reported that PCT was an important part of their improved sample preparation approach.
Scientists from Janssen Research & Development (a Johnson & Johnson Company) presented on the "Evaluation of Pressure-Assisted Enzymatic Digestion for the Optimal Digestion of Monoclonal Antibodies". Monoclonal antibodies are widely used in scientific research, in diagnostics, and in therapeutics. However, it is essential that monoclonal antibodies be thoroughly identified and characterized before use. This process most often requires the use of an enzyme to completely digest the monoclonal antibody into its basic building blocks. The digestion process can be time-consuming, requiring as long as 24 hours to complete. The authors reported that "pressure-assisted enzymatic digestion" (e.g., PCT) was very effective in significantly reducing the total time required to digest monoclonal proteins and to expedite their complete characterization.
Dr. Nate Lawrence, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for PBI, commented: "We are very pleased that two highly respected scientific teams have shown that the incorporation of the PCT Platform in their sample preparation workflow resulted in significant advantages, including savings in analysis time and improvements in test and result quality. Cell-based therapies are believed to offer enormous potential for improving human healthcare and the quality of life. The monoclonal antibody market is believed to be in the tens of billions of dollars. Consequently, we believe that the results presented by FDA and Janssen scientists at HUPO 2012 bode well for an increased demand of our PCT Platform in 2013 and beyond."
About Pressure BioSciences, Inc.
Pressure BioSciences, Inc. ("PBI") (OTCQB: PBIO) is focused on the development, marketing, and sale of proprietary laboratory instrumentation and associated consumables based on Pressure Cycling Technology ("PCT"). PCT is a patented, enabling technology platform with multiple applications in the estimated $6 billion life sciences sample preparation market. PCT uses cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels to control bio-molecular interactions. PBI currently focuses its efforts on the development and sale of PCT-enhanced sample preparation systems (instruments and consumables) for mass spectrometry, biomarker discovery, bio-therapeutics characterization, vaccine development, soil and plant biology, forensics, histology, and counter-bioterror applications.

(AP) Redskins' Meriweather, like RG3, aiming for Week 1
By JOSEPH WHITE
AP Sports Writer
ASHBURN, Va.
During lunchtime Tuesday in the Washington Redskins locker room, a computer tablet lay on the floor, plugged into a nearby socket to get charged. It bore the team's logo and the No. 31, the jersey that belongs to safety Brandon Meriweather.
How appropriate. It's time to charge up Meriweather and get him out the field, time to see if he is truly the missing piece in the Redskins secondary.
Robert Griffin III doesn't have a monopoly on major knee surgery rehab. Meriweather is returning from a torn right ACL, an injury that cut short a frustrating 2012 in which he played a little more than half of one game _ and still made quite an impact.
To recap: Meriweather's only action came in the Week 11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. In just 41 plays on defense, he had one interception, broke up two passes and made seven tackles before his knee buckled while pursuing a running play early in the third quarter.
The Redskins went on to win the NFC East, but they ranked 30th against the pass for the season. They surely need a better effort this year from the back end of the defense if they're to repeat as champs, and much of that hope hinges on Meriweather. If his knee isn't ready, the starting tandem on opening day will likely be promising-but-raw sixth-round draft pick Bacarri Rambo and veteran backup Reed Doughty, who has gamely filled in many times over the years but is more valuable on special teams.
Orakpo said when Meriweather's presence creates a chain reaction throughout the defense, allowing those up front to play more aggressively.
Meriweather was a two-time Pro Bowl safety with the New England Patriots, but he's been jinxed from the moment he joined the Redskins last year. He sprained two ligaments in his left knee in a preseason game, reinjured the knee during practice just before the regular season opener, then reinjured it again when he collided with teammate Aldrick Robinson during pregame warm-ups in Week 4.
When the left knee finally healed enough for him to play, he wowed the Redskins for half-a-game _ then hurt the right knee.
The right knee was still sore throughout much of this year's training camp, causing Meriweather to sit out practices. He was kept out of the first three preseason games. Coaches figure he's finally ready to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when nearly all of the other projected Week 1 starters will be getting the night off.
Coincidentally, it was in Tampa where Meriweather collided with Robinson in the end zone last year.
Meriweather deals from comparisons with Griffin, who had ACL surgery later than Meriweather but has made a remarkably quick recovery. Griffin didn't miss a single practice during training camp _ unusual for a player coming off an ACL injury _ and appears on pace to start in the Week 1 opener.
The Redskins hope they can soon say the same about Meriweather.
Note: The Redskins made their final roster moves to get the roster to 75. They cut T Jeremy Trueblood, waived LB Roddrick Muckelroy and CB Ryan Mouton with injured designations, and waived OL Jacolby Ashworth with an injury settlement. Also, DE Adam Carriker was moved from the active physically unable to perform list to the reserve PUP list.

Scripps College is one of the truly great institutions in American higher education today and worthy of the full commitment and support of our alumnae, parents and friends, not only in Southern California but throughout the country and abroad.
Claremont, Calif. (PRWEB) February 26, 2013
President Lori Bettison-Varga today announced a $5.5 million gift from the Sidney J. Weinberg, Jr. Foundation. In 2010, the Weinberg Foundation pledged $3 million to Scripps College along with $2 million to Claremont McKenna College to establish The Weinberg Family Dean of Science Endowment Fund for the W.M. Keck Science Department. With these gifts, trustee Elizabeth "Betsy" Smith '74 continues a legacy began by her father, the late Sidney J. "Jim" Weinberg, Jr., chair emeritus of the Scripps College Board of Trustees until his death in 2010. Through the generous support of the next generation, Betsy Smith led the effort to secure this important gift from the Weinberg Foundation.
The additional $5.5 million gift came in anticipation of a significant fundraising initiative and will produce immediate and long-term benefits for the College.
"Scripps College's future is bolder because of the foresight and generosity of our valuable trustees," Bettison-Varga said. "Betsy Weinberg Smith is a committed alumna who exemplifies the qualities of Scripps graduates with her passion for making a difference. This key gift from the Weinberg Foundation to Scripps College will make an impact on the lives of young women for generations to come."
Smith has served as a Scripps trustee since 1995 and currently is co-vice chair of the board. She and her family are well respected for their philanthropic outreach, and she currently is a trustee of the Weinberg Foundation. Jim Weinberg served as Scripps College board chair from 1986 - 1991, and as a trustee from 1974 - 2010. Smith and her father have carried forward the family's philanthropic legacy began by Smith's grandfather, Sidney J. Weinberg, and continued by the Sidney J. Weinberg, Jr. Foundation.
"Scripps College is one of the truly great institutions in American higher education today and worthy of the full commitment and support of our alumnae, parents and friends, not only in Southern California but throughout the country and abroad," Smith said. "It is my hope that our family gift will set an example to all who love Scripps College, especially those on the East Coast and elsewhere, whose lives have taken us away from Claremont. May Scripps always be close to our hearts and minds."
Smith works for the city of New York as an assistant commissioner in the Department of Parks and Recreation.
College officials are discussing with Smith plans for the gift, including the College's endowment fund.

All manufacturers make mistakes, which they probably should have counteracted during the developing faze.
If this didn't happen, it all comes down on how they solve the problem.
North is, at least in the Netherlands, not known for his above average customer support. Kubus doesn't "do" North anymore so I don't know how it is right now. I was a North user for 7 years during which I had several quality problems with bars and kites and they weren't addressed properly, so I changed to a different brand from who I know for fact that they had issues with quality but corrected them very well and very accommodating.
good luck with your case, I think they should repair it and address all other users.

Lightweight and compact, the Williams Turbojet 285 is suitable for fitment aboard many mid-sized production yachts either in the tender garage or positioned on the bathing platform.
The Turbojet 285 will fire up at a turn of the key and immediately settle into a quiet unobtrusive idle, but throw open the throttle and hold on for a truly exhilarating ride.
Powered by the new Weber 850MPE producing 80hp, the Turbojet 285 has a level of performance which belies her size. A sports boat hull ensures she will hold tight in turns even if driven hard, and waterskiers will delight in her ability to track in a straight line - altogether an unexpected experience in such a compact boat. Able to carry three adults with ease, the Turbojet 285 can also be used for general ferrying duties making her a great practical tender choice for any yacht.
The unbeatable Williams Turbojet 285.

Knowledge Ontario pays for Ancestry in Ontario public libraries so ti would be a great loss for genealogists.
- 24 April, 2011 19:03
Knowledge Ontario provides a host of services, including many databases and bite-sized tech tutorials as well as live reference services and more, but the myriad of primary materials available for genealogists and historians through the Ontario News portal and OurOntario.ca is really astonishing. As mentioned, the digitized newspaper content hosted and made searchable by Our Ontario covers more than 200 years of Ontario history available here: http://www.ourontario.ca/demo/News.html; as well, the OurOntario.ca (http://ourontario.ca/) portal contains hundreds of digitized historical objects and collections about and from Ontario. And, it's free: no user subscriptions, no user fees. For people who contribute to these online resources, including public libraries, museums, historical societies, archives, academic and special libraries, the recent funding announcement has a lot of impact, and this will trickle down to the end user in terms of reduced access to and quality of primary materials so critical to researchers of all kinds. The genealogy community is a strong one. Please make your voice heard.
