Our raw food is designed for optimal digestibility and nutrient bioavailability:
We produce the highest quality, holistic, natural diets that cater to the obligate carnivore. Even though domesticated cats no longer need to hunt as their ancestors have, their digestive systems remain unchanged. We believe feeding a raw diet closely mirrors what cats would naturally eat in the wild, contributing to true health and vitality.
Cats are healthiest and happiest on a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. As grains have proven to be an allergen for many cats, we decided not to include them in our recipes. This simple philosophy provides a broad range of health benefits including: natural weight control, healthy skin and coat, and naturally clean teeth. Staying true to the most natural, evolutionary feline diet, we add no fruits or vegetables to our products. Our main ingredients are meats - muscle and organs - which are incredibly appealing to cats' natural, carnivorous instincts.
We believe in keeping our products simple and basic, therefore we do not mix species within a variety. For cats, simple is better – and they love it! We make Rad Cat Raw Diet as close as possible to the diet that nature intended for our domestic feline carnivores.
Help your cats experience true health and increased vitality by giving them food they were meant to eat. Experience the incredible results that feeding your cats a raw diet can bring.
You'll be amazed and your cats will thank you!

IBM's first tape drive turns 60
Model 726 Magnetic tape reader/recorder replaced punch cards
IBM's first tape drive turns 60 today, May 21st 2012.
The Model 726 Magnetic tape reader/recorder was announced just a few weeks after IBM did the same for the model 701 computer, the first electronic computer the company produced in quantity. The 701 was also known as the "defense calculator", reflecting its intended use helping the US military to design aircraft and what IBM describes as "nuclear development."
The 726 used half-inch tapes with seven tracks. Six were used for data and the seventh was a parity track. Data was stored as six-bit characters, one to a track, for a total storage density of 100 bits per linear inch.
IBM's 726 Magnetic tape reader/recorder
Some tapes for the machine were 1200 feet long and IBM says the machine had "a capacity in excess of 2 million digits a tape." IBM says the drive replaced 12,500 punch cards.
A tape reel from the Model 726
IBM's online exhibit says the drive boasted " a unique control system developed for the 726" which meant "a tape reached full speed in 1/100th of a second, or before moving half an inch," an important feature as the drive started and stopped during operations. Once the tape reached its top speed of 75 inches per second it could "read or write at a rate of 12,500 digits a second." Tapes were magnetic, which was unusual at the time as was the use of plastic as a substrate.
Film of the 726 and its successors – the imaginatively-named 727, 728 and 729 – eventually came to represent computers in the popular imagination, because while the model 701 had a nifty control panel it lacked a screen. The sight of tape reels moving and jerking in and out of motion was more interesting and comprehensible than the Model 701.
The Model 726s were also bigger than the computer they served. Indeed, buyers of the 701 needed two Model 726s and IBM thoughtfully provided two 1,200-foot and two 200-foot reels of magnetic tape for each, then charged US$850 each per month rental for the devices.
Which just goes to show that the infrastructure-as-a-service stuff ain't so newfangled after all. ®

The death of Latino paparazzo Chris Guerra has let the most recent split between on-again, off-again couple Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez slip under the radar.
According to sources at Hollywood Life the couple broke up during their romantic New Year's getaway to Mexico after yet another fight.
"The two of them flew to Mexico for New Year's Eve, but had a blow-out argument on December 30 and broke up," a source said.
"Selena left Mexico that same day and Justin left for L.A. on the 31st."
Just a few hours before Guerra was struck by oncoming traffic after attempting to take pictures of the driver of the car who he believed to be Bieber, the paparazzo had called a photo agency he worked for claiming he was onto a big story.
As a source for the agency told TMZ that Guerra claimed he saw Bieber earlier on New Year's Day smoking what he believed was marijuana from a pipe while driving the Ferrari.
"Man, you won't believe my luck. It's pretty dead in L.A.," Guerra told a contact at the agency.
"Everybody thinks Justin and Selena are in Mexico, but they're not."
However with this new information about Jelena's split the claim by Guerra has proven to be untrue as the off-again couple were not even together that day.
"They haven't seen each other since and she was never at the Four Seasons on New Year's Day," source for Bieber told Hollywood Life.
Just a day before their breakup the couple was all smiles as they landed in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to ring in the New Year with a little fun in the sun.
The latest vacation for the on-again, off-again couple came just a week after the two were seen snuggling in the Salt Lake City airport following a recent ski trip.

At 97, Allan gets fourth degree
IN A world of almost seven billion people, 97-year-old Southern Cross University graduate Allan Stewart stands alone.
Not only does Mr Stewart already hold the Guinness World Records title for being the World's Oldest Graduate - a title he earned after graduating with a law degree aged 91 - but today he will surpass it.
Mr Stewart will graduate with a Master of Clinical Science (Complementary Medicine) at the University's Lismore campus - his fourth university degree.
"I think I can hang up my mortar board and academic robes after this one - although I said that after my last degree and then I got bored. I have so much time on my hands these days and I like to keep mentally active," the nonagenarian said.
Mr Stewart's unique achievement has set a phenomenal benchmark in human history.
At the age of 97 years and 58 days the erudite and energetic bachelor will take to the podium to receive his degree and deliver the graduate address.
He will compare being a university student in 2012 with the 1930s, when he completed his first degree, in dentistry.
Mr Stewart lives independently in his own home, walks around his neighbourhood in the Port Stephens area of NSW daily, fishes, swims in the sea, cooks, grows fruit and vegies in his backyard, acts as a carer to a friend, and supports the community as an assistant in the local community technology centre.
He has six children (one deceased), 12 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
"Truly, the man is a living legend and such a tremendous inspiration to those who aspire to age well and pursue lifelong learning," says Dr Sonya Brownie, one of Mr Stewart's supervisors during his two-and-a-half-year masters degree.
However, Mr Stewart is modest: "Oh, it's nothing really… I have just been blessed with good genes," he said.
He attributes his vitality to fitness of mind, body, purpose, spirit and social fitness.

It has become a theme this season that young stars are breaking out and altering the fantasy baseball landscape. That Gestalt shift is difficult enough to keep track of in its simplest form, but now some youths are being plucked from other countries and quickly thrown into action before we have time to prepare for their arrival.
Yasiel Puig defected from Cuba in 2012 and in late June that year was signed to a contract with the Dodgers. He got in all of 63 minor league games from there, batting .328 overall with 13 homers, 52 RBIs and 21 steals before getting a deserved call-up to the big-league team this month.
Since then, he has put together a list of accolades to rival Daniel Day-Lewis' r�sum�: third player to hit at least three home runs, with one being a grand slam, in his first four career games; fourth player with a pair of four-RBI games in his first four games; tied for most RBIs (nine) in a player's first four games; the second to hit four homers in his first five games; the first Dodger to have 11 hits in his first seven games (he went on to actually post 13 in that time); National League Player of the Week.
In the grandest tradition of hating our betters, some are trying to tear down Puig and have questioned his actions in Tuesday's brawl with the Diamondbacks. It is feigned worry, though, that wonders why someone gets upset when a fastball comes close enough to his face to graze his nose. Even the powers-that-be at Major League Baseball, who went so deep as to suspend Dodgers hitting coach Mark McGwire for two games, let Puig off with only a fine.
Oh, and Ian Kennedy, the pitcher who threw high at Puig and also at L.A. starter Zack Greinke? He was suspended for 10 games. Puig is not the bad guy here.
So on the heels of a 2012 campaign that gave us future stars in the Angels' Mike Trout and the Nationals' Bryce Harper (if he stops running into walls) as in-season call-ups, we could be seeing the next one.
In his first 10 games in the majors, the 22-year-old Puig batted .486 with four homers, 10 RBIs and an OPS of 1.400. Congratulations if you were able to snag him early as a free agent pickup. If not, try to enjoy his rise anyway.
Not only is this the season of altering our views on who the fantasy stars are, one we thought we knew is now stuck on the bench.
Although that is something we maybe should have expected as well.
Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a broken rib, his fifth trip to the DL since 2008 (see chart).
Tulo was fantasy's best at his position when he went down, leading the position in runs (41), home runs (16), RBIs (51) and average (.347) in 61 games.
Josh Rutledge will get the chance to replace Tulowitzki, coming back up from Triple A after starting the season with the Rockies. His time in the majors this season was middling, but not awful, as he batted .242 with 5 homers, 13 RBIs and 5 steals. He looked even better with Colorado Springs, batting .348 with 2 homers, 10 RBIs and a steal in 17 games. Owned in less a quarter of ESPN leagues upon his return to the majors, he could be a good pickup with eligibility at the weak positions of second base and shortstop.
Tim Tebow is another issue that keeps being resurrected. His fall from grace seemed complete — the prodigal son wasn't even allowed to return to Jacksonville, after all — but Tebow did such a good job of washing Bill Belichick's feet that he was allowed to join the Patriots.
While I tried to work out how keeping Wes Welker made less sense than acquiring Tebow, I tried to gain some solace that at least the fantasy enigma quarterback would be forced to play behind Tom Brady, decreasing any value he may be perceived to have.
Just when that idea started to settle, I became even happier when I realized that it wouldn't be strong enough to keep Tebow's new home from forcing him into a good game of "who will jump and how soon" when fantasy football draft time comes around.
I was already counting on my local draft buddies to go overboard when it came time to consider Danny Amendola, but at least he is a new Patriot who stands to play and actually put up numbers. Someone, though, is also bound to pull the Tebow-is-good-for-eight-touchdowns theory out of the optimistic ether and allow me to laugh at him.
So I say bring on the new era.
Fantasy owners of Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki are starting to have to plan for his disabled list stints. With his current broken rib, he is heading to the DL for the fifth time since 2008. His injury list:

Teodora Guererra's abstract artistic vision has evolved throughout her years spent painting and teaching in Fairfield County, Connecticut; Tucson, Arizona, and upstate New York. Arizona's naturally radiant landscape and arid climate led her to experiment with rich under-painting and vivid color; while the shifting seasons of the East Coast inspired Guererra to pursue dripping and staining techniques.
Teodora Guererra received her undergraduate degree in fine art from Southern Connecticut University and graduate degree from the College of Saint Rose, Skidmore College. Additionally, her degree in Art Education from the College of St. Rose, Albany, NY, fuels her experimentation with new materials to explore texture, application and color. Guererra's paintings can be found in public and private collections across the U.S., including the Allmen Health and Wellness Center for Women in New York and SUNY Brockport, NY.
Artist Influences: Pat Steir, John McCracken, Helen Frankenthaler, Donald Jud, Bernar Venet, Agnes Martin and Brian Rutenberg.
"I'm an addict – obsessed and driven. I have to make art and the process is the drug. I work in a conscious, subconscious state, which can be tormenting and sublime at the same time. Experimenting with different materials to layer, stain and drip color my paintings evoke fluid movement that is both organic and minimalistic."


text: Alright.. so like I stated before I'm trying to get back into paintball. I don't want to spend alot of money at one time getting a brand new DM13 or anything. I had thought about getting an RT I saw for a good deal on the Markers forum. If not, and I don't come across a great deal, I have another plan. I want to tinker around and build a mag from the ground up. I have decent knowledge about mags in general. Any ideas where I should start? Just take an old 68 and go from there? I LOVED my RT.. it was second nature to me. With so many paths to choose, I'm at a stand still. Where does this crossroads lead? Is a normal mag with level 10 up to speed, is an electro frame too high maintenance? So many choices, lol.

Even those who don't know a puck from a pansy should be pleased Tampa will host the 2016 Frozen Four — the NCAA college hockey championship.
When Tampa hosted the Frozen Four in 2012, it resulted in nearly 15,000 hotel visitor room nights and more than $10 million in direct visitor spending.
So the April 7-9, 2016, event should give the region a similar financial boost.
It is another example of the Tampa Bay Sports Commission's importance.
Under executive director Rob Higgins, and with the help of political and business leaders, the agency has been impressive in recruiting sporting events that help fill hotel rooms, restaurants and local attractions.
The commission has landed numerous blockbusters, including Super Bowls, ACC football championships, the SEC basketball tournament and the NCAA women's basketball Final Four. Nearly always the players, coaches and fans rave about their Tampa experience.
The commission's stellar performance in holding the 2012 hockey championship surely played a role in it securing another.
But the nonprofit organization also targets events that may not be as high profile but bring plenty of visitors nevertheless.
For instance, as the Tribune's Joey Johnston reports, Tampa Bay also was awarded six other NCAA championship events Wednesday. Among them the 2018 track and field regional, which will be held at the University of South Florida and is expected to generate about 6,000 hotel visitor room nights. Last summer Tampa hosted the National Veterans Wheelchair Games, which resulted in an estimated $3.7 million in direct spending.
Higgins says that since 2004 the commission has hosted more than 800 events that resulted in 961,454 hotel visitor room nights.
And the Tampa Bay Sports Commission is not devoted solely to events that attract tourists.
As the Tribune's Nick Williams recently detailed, the nonprofit organization sponsors a number of high school events, including combines for football, boys and girls basketball, baseball, softball and girls volleyball that help local athletes win scholarships.
So this nonprofit organization gives a boost to young athletes' college prospects as well as to the local economy. It deserves credit for its continued diligence and success.

It Was So Cool Of Beyonce & Jay-Z To Post Pics Of Their Baby On Tumblr
Beyonce and Jay-Z took everyone by surprise when they released Blue Ivy Carter's first public photos on a free blogging platform
We've heard so much about Beyonce and Jay-Z being high maintenance and over the top parents when it's come to their first baby, Blue Ivy Carter (read: buying out an entire floor of the hospital), but they certainly made a statement Feb. 10 when they released first pics of their daughter on Tumblr, of all places.
In a world where most celebrities sell their baby pics to major magazines and tabloids, this was a shocking move on Beyonce and Jay-Z's behalf. Instead of having Annie Leibovitz take portraits of Blue Ivy and then pasting them on the cover of Vanity Fair (yes, I'm looking at YOU, Suri Cruise), they put them up for free for all of their fans to enjoy.
Thanks for sharing your daughter with us, Beyonce and Jay-Z. Now please keep this Tumblr up to date!!

It was a party unlike any other in MAG history! Guests at the October 16 opening for Psychedelic: Optical and Visionary Art Since the 1960s were greeted by go-go dancers and the sounds of the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles. Some partiers pulled tie-dyed shirts, love beads, headbands and fringed jackets out of the attic, while others born too late to remember the 1960s had fun putting together their own groovy garb. The whole building was transformed, from the B&L Parlor (aka Lava Lounge) to the M&T Bank Ballroom, where a disco-style sound and light show mesmerized all on the dance floor.

By Gul Yousufzai
QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) - In a rare challenge, a Shi'ite Muslim leader publicly criticized Pakistani military chief General Ashfaq Kayani over security in the country on Friday after bombings targeting the minority sect killed 93 people.
The criticism of Kayani, arguably the most powerful man in the South Asian state, highlighted Shi'ite frustrations with Pakistan's failure to contain Sunni Muslim militant groups who have vowed to wipe out Shi'ites.
"I ask the army chief: what have you done with these extra three years you got (in office)? What did you give us except more death?" Maulana Amin Shaheedi, who heads a national council of Shi'ite organisations, told a news conference.
Most of Thursday's deaths were caused by twin attacks aimed Shi'ites in the southwestern city of Quetta, near the Afghan border, where members of the minority group have long accused the state of turning a blind eye to Sunni death squads.
Shi'ite leaders were so outraged at the latest bloodshed that they called for the military to take control of Quetta to shield them and said they would not allow the 93 victims of twin bomb attacks to be buried until their demands were met.
The burials had been scheduled to take place after Friday prayers but the bodies would remain unburied until Shi'ites had received promises of protection, they said.
"They will not be buried until the army comes into Quetta," Shaheedi said.
Akbar Durrani, home secretary of Baluchistan province, of which Quetta is the capital Durrani said scores of bodies had been brought out into the road by the bomb site as a protest.
About 2,000 ethnic Hazara Shi'ites were sitting at the site of the attack with the shrouded bodies of those killed in the attacks, demanding that the army replaces the provincial government, he said.
Islamic tradition requires the dead to be buried as soon as possible, so leaving loved ones unburied is a powerful sign of grief and rage.
Violence against Pakistani Shi'ites is rising and some communities are living in a state of siege, a human rights group said on Friday.
"Last year was the bloodiest year for Shias in living memory," said Ali Dayan Hasan of Human Rights Watch. "More than 400 were killed and if yesterday's attack is any indication, it's just going to get worse."
A suicide bomber first targeted a snooker club in Quetta. A car bomb blew up nearby 10 minutes later after police and rescuers had arrived.
In all, 93 people were killed in the twin blasts and 121 wounded. Nine police and 20 rescue workers were among the dead.
"It was like doomsday. Bodies were lying everywhere," said police officer Mir Zubair Mehmood.
The banned Sunni group Lashkar-e-Jangvi (LeJ) claimed responsibility for the attack in what is a predominantly Shi'ite neighborhood where the residents are Hazaras, Shi'ites who first migrated from Afghanistan in the 19th century.
While U.S. intelligence agencies have focused on al Qaeda and the Taliban, Pakistani intelligence officials say LeJ is emerging as a graver threat to Pakistan, a nuclear-armed, strategic ally of the United States.
It has stepped up attacks against Shi'ites across the country but has zeroed in on members of the sect who live in resource-rich Baluchistan.
The paramilitary Frontier Corps is largely responsible for security in Baluchistan province but Shi'ites say it is unable or unwilling to protect them from the LeJ.
The LeJ wants to impose a Sunni theocracy by stoking Sunni-Shi'ite violence. It bombs religious processions and shoots civilians in the type of attacks that pushed countries such as Iraq towards civil war.
The latest attacks prompted an outpouring of grief, rage and fear among Shi'ites, many of whom have concluded that the state has left them at the mercy of the LeJ and other extremist groups who believe they are non-Muslims.
"The LeJ operates under one front or the other, and its activists go around openly shouting 'infidel, infidel, Shi'ite infidel' and 'death to Shi'ites' in the streets of Quetta and outside our mosques," said Syed Dawwod Agha, a top official with the Baluchistan Shi'ite Conference.
"We have become a community of grave diggers. We are so used to death now that we always have shrouds ready."
The roughly 500,000-strong Hazara people in Quetta, who speak a Persian dialect, have distinct features and are an easy target, said Dayan of Human Rights Watch.
"They live in a state of siege. Stepping out of the ghetto means risking death," said Dayan. "Everyone has failed them: the security services, the government, the judiciary."
Earlier on Thursday, a separate bomb killed 11 people in Quetta's main market.
The United Baloch Army claimed responsibility for that blast. The group is one of several fighting for independence for Baluchistan, an arid, impoverished region with substantial gas, copper and gold reserves.
Baluchistan constitutes just less than half of Pakistan's territory and is home to about 8 million of the total population of 180 million.
In another attack on Thursday, in Mingora, the largest city in the Swat valley in the northwest, at least 22 people were killed when an explosion targeted a public gathering of residents who had come to listen to a religious leader.
No one claimed responsibility for that bombing. Swat has been under army rule since a military offensive ejected Pakistani Taliban militants in 2009.
The LeJ has had historically close ties to elements in the security forces, who see the group as an ally in any potential war with neighboring India. Security forces deny such links.
In a measure of the outrage, several Pakistani social media users posted Facebook comments urging the U.S. to expand its covert program of drone warfare beyond Taliban strongholds on the Afghan border to target LeJ leaders in Baluchistan.
Among the dead in Quetta was Khudi Ali, a young activist who often wore a T-shirt with fake bloodstains during protests against the rising violence against Shi'ites.
Ali's Twitter profile said: "I am born to fight for human rights and peace."

China's economy sailed through the financial crisis unscathed — at least in the short run.
When the global crisis hit, the country's government-owned banks started lending out lots more money. The money came largely from the savings accounts of ordinary Chinese people. It went largely to finance big construction projects, which helped keep China's economy growing.
"It sort of explains why China recovered so quickly," Hu Angang, an economist at Tsinghua University, told us. Indeed, China's strong showing through the crisis was seen by some as a vindication of the large role Chinese government plays in steering the country's economy.
But if it turns out China doesn't need all that new stuff it's building, the country will face an economic reckoning, says Michael Pettis, who teaches finance at Peking University in Beijing.
For Pettis, China's economic miracle is just the latest, largest version of a familiar story. A government in a developing country funnels tons of money into construction. This increases economic activity for a while, but the country ultimately overbuilds — and the loans start going bad.
"In every single case it ended up with excessive debt," Pettis says. "In some cases a debt crisis, in other cases a lost decade of very, very slow growth and rapidly rising debt. And no one has taken it to the extremes China has."
The counterpoint to Pettis's argument: China is extreme. It's a country of a billion people, growing at an incredible rate. The country needs to build lots of new stuff — new roads, new power plants, new buildings.
It's been this way for decades, says Arthur Kroeber, who runs the Chinese research firm Dragonomics. When he first arrived in Beijing in 1985, the city had just finished building a new ring road — a highway that runs in a loop circle around the city center. It was so empty that he and his wife rode their bikes down the middle of the highway.
"At that time I thought, 'This is crazy,'" he says. "Why enormous roads with nothing on it?"
Since then, Beijing has built three more ring roads, each one farther out than the last. Today, the ring roads are all jammed with traffic.
"It's kind of an emblem of the way things get done here," Kroeber says. "At any point in the last 25 years you could walk around and say, 'They're building all this stuff, and who will ever possible use it?' You come back five years later and its not nearly enough. That logic will, I think, eventually come to an end. But it has worked for them pretty well up to now."
Kroeber and Michael Pettis — and even the Chinese government itself, to judge from its latest five-year plan — agree that the Chinese economy needs to change. The government needs to spend less money building stuff, and ordinary people need to spend more money buying stuff.
What they disagree on is how much time China has to make this change. Kroeber figures China's got another 10 or 15 years before it has to make the shift. Pettis, thinks it may already be too late.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Melissa Block
The fates of the U.S. and Chinese economies are increasingly intertwined. They are, after all, the number one and number two economies in the world. China has been booming for 30 years. But there's a big debate now about whether it can keep growing at its current pace or if its economy is headed for trouble.
David Kestenbaum and Jacob Goldstein from our Planet Money team recently visited China. They brought back this report.
DAVID KESTENBAUM, BYLINE: The debate centers on something you see everywhere in China: construction, new fancy bullet trains, new airports, new roads...
JACOB GOLDSTEIN, BYLINE: ...and new apartment complexes like this one that we just happened to drive by.
KESTENBAUM: Can we try and count up how many apartments are here?
GOLDSTEIN: Yeah, let's just count.
KESTENBAUM: It's, like, infinite in every direction, so it's hard.
GOLDSTEIN: It's six stories, right? One, two, three, four...
Like lots of big developments you see in China, these apartment towers are in the middle of nowhere, empty farmland with nothing around, a few hundred miles from Shanghai.
KESTENBAUM: This is a huge part of China's economic growth: building new stuff. Michael Pettis teaches finance in Beijing and writes a well-regarded blog and newsletter about the Chinese economy. He says there's one big problem: China doesn't need all this new stuff.
MICHAEL PETTIS: China is chockablock full with brand-new airports, most of which have very few flights every day. And we're building more, 45 more airports.
GOLDSTEIN: Airports, desalinization plants, power plants, local governments are building lots of stuff. And most of it is built with borrowed money. If those airports, for example, stay empty, that is a real problem.
PETTIS: They borrowed money, and how do they pay it back? They can't pay it back.
KESTENBAUM: In the U.S., we hear a lot about China's trade surplus. But the money for all this development comes largely from China's biggest banks, which are controlled by the government. Ordinary Chinese people put their money in savings accounts, and the banks lend it out, often to companies that are also owned by the government.
GOLDSTEIN: Zhang Weiying, an economist here, thinks it's a bad idea for the government to control the flow of all this money. He told us that last fall, he was participating in a panel discussion sitting right next to a very high-ranking government official. And Zhang Weiying, he just came right out and said it.
ZHANG WEIYING: I said it's a bunch of smart people, really smart people doing something really stupid.
KESTENBAUM: A bunch of smart people doing something really stupid.
WEIYING: Yes, I said that.
KESTENBAUM: Michael Pettis says this sort of thing has happened before in other countries. The government takes money from the people and builds things with it. That means hiring people to build roads, factories, trains, airports. For a while, it feels great, it looks great. Your economy is growing at an incredible pace.
PETTIS: But in every single case, it ended up with excess of debt. In some cases, a debt crisis. In other cases, a lost decade of very, very slow growth and rapidly rising debt. And no one has taken it to the extremes that China has.
GOLDSTEIN: China's building boom is definitely extreme. But Arthur Kroeber, who runs a Beijing research firm called Dragonomics, says everything about China is extreme.
ARTHUR KROEBER: It always looks strange. It seems like things should not work. It should just be a total chaotic mess. But in fact, you know, the track record is pretty excellent.
KESTENBAUM: Kroeber points out this is a country of over a billion people growing at an incredible rate. China needs to build lots of new stuff: new roads, new power plants, new cities.
GOLDSTEIN: He tells this story about Beijing's ring roads. A ring road is what we'd call a beltway in the U.S. It's a freeway that runs in kind of a circle around the city center. When Kroeber got here in 1985, Beijing had just finished building a new one. It was empty. He and his wife rode their bikes on it, in the middle of the highway.
KROEBER: Not in the bicycle lane but in the main part because there were no cars. I remember thinking that time this is kind of crazy, why they had this enormous road. There's with nothing on it.
KESTENBAUM: Since then, the government has completed three more ring roads, each further and further out. Today, they are not empty. Today, they are filled with cars.
KROEBER: Full of traffic all day long, which - it's kind of an emblem of the way things get done here. At any point in the last 25 years, you could walk around and say they're building all this stuff and who will ever possibly use it, and come back five years later and it's not nearly enough. That logic, I think, will eventually come to an end, but it has worked pretty well for them up to now.
GOLDSTEIN: Arthur Kroeber and Michael Pettis and even the Chinese government itself, they actually agree. The Chinese economy does needs to change. The government needs to spend less money building stuff, and ordinary people need to spend more money buying stuff. What they disagree on is how much time China has to make this change.
KESTENBAUM: Arthur Kroeber figures China has got another 10 or 15 years before it has to make the shift. Michael Pettis thinks it may already be too late.

Visitors at this year's Christmas at the Park display in Fayette won't be disappointed.
The $15,000 collected at the event last year was used to buy new, bigger, brighter displays that are sure to please, said organizer Doris Brasher.
Visitors at this year's Christmas at the Park display in Fayette won't be disappointed.
The $15,000 collected at the event last year was used to buy new, bigger, brighter displays that are sure to please, said organizer Doris Brasher.
The most impressive addition, she said, is a life-sized Nativity scene. Members of the Fayette Garden Club traveled to Atlanta to buy mannequins before sewing the clothing worn by Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, the three wise men and shepherds.
The thousands of lights and Christmas displays draw visitors from surrounding counties and even out of state to the 300-acre Guthrie Smith Park.
Brasher and her husband John created the display at their home for 15 years until he injured his leg one year. The couple, who modeled their display after Callaway Gardens in Georgia, approached the city and began the tradition at the city park eight years ago. It takes numerous volunteers and weeks of planning to pull it off.
"We started setting up on Sept. 30," Brasher said. "It takes two months to put it up and two to take it all down. We have a lot of volunteers who help put up the displays and help take them down. The sheriff sends inmates to help, and the mayor sends city employees to help."
Other new features this year include a 35-foot tree with LED lights, a 10-by-8-foot birthday cake that spells out "Happy Birthday Jesus" in lights, and what Brasher calls her "sports area," which features light displays of Santa catching a fish and kids playing soccer and volleyball. There's a new display of a police officer catching a bandit trying to make off with Christmas packages and Santa dropping gifts from a rocket ship.
A lit "Seasons Greetings" sign stands at the entrance, near a 16-foot U.S. flag with flashing red, white and blue lights and exploding fireworks.
It takes about 10 minutes to drive through the park and view the 39 animated scenes and five wood scenes, Brasher said.
Entrance to the display is $1 per car, which Brasher said has remained inexpensive so more people can attend. There are many repeat visitors through the season, which lasts from Thanksgiving night to New Year's Eve.
Train rides will begin Friday night and take place every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night for $1 per person. Nursing home and church groups can view the display for free.
All money collected by the nonprofit organization is used to expand and maintain future Christmas at the Park events.
"The purpose of our doing this is to tell people that Jesus is the reason for the season," Brasher said.

Gomez and Brewers beat Phillies 9-4
Milwaukee now 5-0 on the road in 2014
Ryan Braun hit a two-run triple during a four-run eighth inning rally to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to their fifth straight win, 9-4 over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.
Carlos Gomez and Mark Reynolds homered and Jean Segura doubled and drove in a run for Milwaukee, which has won all five games during the streak on the road.
The Brewers snapped a 4-all tie in the eighth when they scored three runs on one hit off Antonio Bastardo (0-1). Reynolds scored the go-ahead run on an error by first baseman Ryan Howard, who let Logan Schafer's grounder go into right field.
Braun, who hit three homers Tuesday, broke the game open with a two-run triple to the wall in left-center that made it 7-4.
Tyler Thornburg (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings of relief to earn the victory.
Braun, who served a 65-game suspension for violations of major league baseball's drug agreement and labor contract, was booed during each of his four putouts and every at-bat - none louder than when he reached third in the eighth.
Reynolds hit a two-run homer in the ninth.
Philadelphia starter Roberto Hernandez allowed four runs - three earned - on seven hits in five innings while coming within one strikeout of matching his career high with nine.
Brewers starter Matt Garza gave up four runs - three earned - on eight hits in six innings with four strikeouts and two walks.
The teams combined for five runs on four hits and two errors in a shaky first inning where both teams looked in early season form. Milwaukee scored a pair of the runs in the top half, bolstered by four-time Gold Glove winner Jimmy Rollins' rare error at shortstop.
Philadelphia took the lead with three runs in the bottom half that included a Garza balk and second baseman Scooter Gennett's throwing error.
Segura's second-inning RBI double tied it at 3 and the Brewers went ahead 4-3 on Gomez's solo homer to left in the fourth. As is his custom, Gomez eschewed the traditional home-run trot for an all-out sprint around the bases.
Marlon Byrd's single to center in the fifth tied it at 4.
Ben Revere, criticized in Philadelphia on Wednesday for making an error and misplaying another ball in Tuesday's 10-4 home-opening loss, made a spectacular, diving catch to rob Gennett of a hit in the second inning.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke successfully challenged a first-inning out call by second base umpire Adrian Johnson, who incorrectly ruled that Revere beat Garza's throw to second. Replays, though, showed that Segura tagged Revere's leg before he reached the bag. The replay caused a delay of 1:29.
Notes: Phillies 3B Cody Asche didn't start due to a minor hamstring injury but entered in the ninth and doubled off the wall in right-center. . Five-time All-Star Chase Utley didn't start for the second straight game due to the flu. Utley was available to pinch-hit. . Philadelphia made two errors, upping its total to nine errors in eight games. . Braun has 23 RBIs in 21 games lifetime at Citizens Bank Park. . Philadelphia LHP Cliff Lee (2-0, 6.00) faces Brewers RHP Marco Estrada (0-0, 1.59) at 7:05 Thursday in the third game of the four-game series.

Most memorable Canada-U.S. women's hockey games
Need more proof there is no love lost when it comes to Canada and the U.S. in women's hockey?
Below are the five most memorable games in the Canadian-U.S. women's hockey rivalry that has seen Canada win 12 of 18 games championship final games between the two hockey superpowers.
Canada 5, U.S. 2,
OTTAWA, 1990 World Championship
In the sport's debut on the world stage, Canada and the U.S. obliterated many opponents en route to the gold-medal game — the home side won an 18-0 nailbiter over Japan while the Americans blasted the pesky Norwegians 17-0. Nevertheless, interest built throughout the tournament as the pink-jerseyed Canadians showcased their game to the nation. In the final, more than 9,000 fans jammed into the Ottawa Civic Centre as Canada triumphed. Notable members of the team included Hockey Hall of Famer Geraldine Heaney and Vicky Sunohara.
Canada 4, U.S. 3 (OT)
KITCHENER, ONT., 1997 World Championship
In the closest final to date, Canada got a hat trick from Nancy Drolet, including the overtime winner 12:59 into the extra frame before a crowd of 6,247. Earlier in overtime, Drolet was hammered by Victoria Movsessian and was slow to get up. "I kept saying to myself, 'Keep going, everything is fine," Drolet said. "The most important thing is everyone believes in each other … It's special, special … I didn't expect it." Angela James, one of the first two women to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, scored the other goal for Canada.
U.S. 3, Canada 1
NAGANO, JAPAN, 1998 Winter Olympics
The U.S. picked a perfect time to win against Canada for the first time in an international final — the sport's Olympic debut. Canada came out flat and coach Shannon Miller drew plenty of criticism in the aftermath. "We didn't play our best game," Canadian defenceman Therese Brisson said. "We didn't have much emotion or intensity. We weren't able to be the best on the night it matters most. I remember watching the Albertville Olympics when the guys were saying they lost the gold, and I told myself I'd never feel like that. But here I am. I do. We didn't win silver, we lost the gold."
Canada 3, U.S. 2
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, 2002 Winter Olympics
After the stunning 1998 Olympic defeat, Canada won the next three world titles. But the best form of revenge could only come at the Olympics — and the Canadians got their way by winning on American ice. Despite controversial work by referee Stacey Livingston that seemed to favour the U.S., the visitors prevailed. Prior to the final, the Canadians had lost eight consecutive pre-Olympic games against their rivals. "We've had (Livingston) before and we knew we weren't going to get anything from her," Canadian defenceman Geraldine Heaney said. "We said no matter who we get, we're going to have to beat her and the Americans. (Livingston) might as well put on their jersey."
U.S. 1 , Canada 0 (SO)
LINKOPING, SWEDEN, 2005 World Championship
Canada's first loss in a world final came in the first shootout in the championship contest. After Canada outscored opponents 38-0 at the event, three U.S. shooters beat Canadian goalie Kim St. Pierre in the shootout. "We didn't give up a goal all tournament," Canadian captain Cassie Campbell said. "You look at Kim, I know she's really disappointed. It's a tough way to lose and a tough way to win, I think."

As always, start with new document and fill it with solid color.
Use very large brush, different colors (similar to main color) and gaussian blur (with large radius) to fill background with chaotic color variations.
Use the following filters:
- noise / add noise
- sketch / water paper
- artistic / sponge
- artistic / water color
For each filter, adjust settings carefully and experiment to achieve natural" look
Here is the photo that I took in Mont Saint Michel. Copy it to the document...
select the layer containing the photo, change its blend mode to Multiply" and opacity to 80%. Duplicate layer (Ctrl-J)
in default brush set, there is a brush called Rough Round Bristle. Select it, create new layer, and fill it with chaotic black and white strokes.
set this layer blend mode to overlay and opacity to 50%.
one final touch is the trees growing around the screen. I used ContextFree software to generate several trees...
...and then copied them into the document. That's all!

Put your leftover Thanksgiving Turkey to work in this Turkey Monte Cristo Panini from our blogger friend, Panini Happy. With it being dipped in egg, French toast-style, it's definitely a little more decadent than your everyday sandwich. But we're in a celebratory mood, right?
For this Thanksgiving twist, I've swapped in turkey in place of the traditional ham and mixed in some cranberry sauce along with the mustard for a tart and tangy kick. And since Monte Cristos are often served with jam, I added a little extra cranberry sauce on the side as well. I didn't include any prosciutto in my sandwich, but if you wanted to tuck a little in there I think that would be incredible too.
Yield: 4 panini sandwiches
3 tablespoons cranberry sauce, plus more for dipping
2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
8 slices country bread, a denser variety is best
8 slices Tillamook Swiss Cheese
¾ lb sliced carved turkey
4 eggs
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Confectioner's sugar, for dusting
1. Preheat the panini grill to medium high heat.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the cranberry sauce and Dijon mustard.
3. For each sandwich: Spread cranberry mustard on one slice of bread. Add a slice of Swiss cheese, a thin layer of turkey and a second sliced of cheese. Top with a second slice of bread to close the sandwich.
4. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, turning to coat well.
5. Carefully place the sandwich onto the panini grill. Close the lid and grill for 4-5 minutes until the bread is lightly browned and the cheese is melted.
6. Dust the tops of the panini with confectioner's sugar and, if desired, serve with additional cranberry sauce for dipping.
About Panini Happy:
Kathy Strahs began her food blog, Panini Happy, in 2007 after receiving a Panini press for Christmas. Her recipes include everything from traditional paninis to decadent desserts you'd never imagine you could make on a Panini press. In October, The Ultimate Panini Press Cookbook was published with over 200 mouthwatering recipes!

DE Kendal Vickers (6-3 230) of Havelock, NC remains dead set on playing at USC, and he hopes he can join the 2013 class. With that in mind, he will visit USC Saturday for the scrimmage along with teammate and Gamecock signee Pharoh Cooper.
Vickers has been working to raise his GPA so he would have the chance to qualify for this year's class. USC told him during the recruiting season they would hold a spot for him in case he qualifies. "They said I need two A's and two B's to qualify and if I do get two A's and two B's we will figure it out from there," Vickers said. Right now, Vickers said, he has those exact grades for this nine week period. He will take the ACT next Saturday.
If he does not qualify, he said USC would put him in a prep school. He has been keeping in touch with USC director of high school relations Robbie Lyles.
Vickers and the other players from Havelock were recruited to USC by Brad Lawing who is now at Florida. Lawing has not attempted to sway those player away from USC.
"When he left he talked to one of my coaches and said he was going to leave us alone," Vickers said. "He said that South Carolina is the place for us."
Vickers' teammate, RB Derrell Scott, visited USC a couple of weeks ago but will not visit Saturday. "He's liking South Carolina," Vickers said.

7 p.m. MDT

5:14 p.m. MDT
Helicopter news footage shows roads east of Greeley cut off by flooding, and broad swaths of land inundated by water. A man is seen escaping flooded farmland on horseback as rescue crews ferry an inflatable raft carrying at least two dogs. Heavy rain is moving through the area west of Denver.
4:04 p.m. MDT
Colorado officials raised the death toll from flooding to four after a woman's body was found in Boulder.

3:26 p.m. MDT
A helicopter has been evacuating stranded people in Larimer County, focusing on those with medical problems. After getting his first aerial view of the destruction, Sheriff Justin Smith said hundreds if not thousands of people, remain stranded and are running low of food and fuel.

1:56 p.m. MDT
The football game between Fresno State and Colorado is being postponed because of the flooding devastating the state. Chancellor Philip DiStefano said the community is hurting and it's not a good time to put pressure on the community and divert attention away from people in need.
1:32 p.m. MDT
The National Park Service says a pair of hikers made it down Longs Peak, one of Colorado's highest points, on their own after being stranded by an ice storm for two days. The news came just as the Park Service was organizing its latest effort to rescue the women.
12:30 p.m. MDT
Rocky Mountain National Park is closed and officials are escorting remaining visitors out of the park. Officials say they're working to mount rescue efforts for two hikers reported missing on Longs Peak, a 14,259-foot mountain there. Trail Ridge Road through the park, the highest continuous paved road in the United States, remains open to emergency vehicles and residents evacuating from the town of Estes Park.
11:56 a.m. MDT

6:31 a.m. MDT
Authorities went door-to-door in Morrison, south of the historic Red Rocks Amphitheater, asking hundreds of people to evacuate as Bear Creek neared flood stage. The amphitheater was in no immediate danger.

Nerd Reactor reports that Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will not be able to do split screen on a television via Wii U. It also cannot be played two-player with one Wii U controller and a Pro Controller. However, it can be played with up to three 3DS systems and one Wii U system, and Wii U systems can play online with up to three other Wii U players.
Nerd Reactor apologizes if the article title was misleading. The title should have been, "Report: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate doesn't do split screen or Wii U tablet + Pro Controller." We do not know at this time whether or not Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will or will not allow the use of the Wii U pro controller. Players cannot, however, use a pro controller and Wii U tablet (two players) on one TV via one Wii U system.
well that sucks but maybe they can patch it in down the line
Okay, that is actually pretty lame. Thanks for the corner cutting Capcom.
...Alliteration aside, that sentence actually feels really redundant.
To be fair, these options take a lot of time to implement. Uncharted didn't get two-player split screen until the 3rd in the series.
Whats the use of a freaking game pad controller if you dont get to use it in any games?
Wow this is really really dumb. How about they just worry about releasing some games because the amount of time its takeing these games to come out is rediculous. last of us, ni no kuni, and gta5 will be out before probably even pikmin 3 lol. why would i buy pikmin 3 if gta5 comes out at the same time, Games for nintendo console and handheld should be releasing before those games especially animal crosssing which is out in japan.
Not a surprise really, co-op in MHTri~ also sucked hard.

Those who have endured the rigors of cancer therapy talk about "chemo brain," the memory and concentration problems that accompany radiation and chemotherapy. Now researchers led by neurologist Michelle L. Monje of Harvard University have found the root of these cognitive difficulties: damaged stem cells.
In the hippocampus, a brain region vital for laying down new memories, "stem cells continue to add new circuit elements," says Stanford University neuroscientist Theo D. Palmer, who helped Monje find out why brain fogginess can persist for years after cancer treatment has ended. They discovered that the chemicals and radiation used to kill tumor cells damage the stem cell reservoir in the hippocampus and nearly halt the formation of new neurons in both children and adults.
Radiation treatment also triggers a response from microglial cells, the immune cells of the central nervous system. Because the inflammatory cells stifle neuronal growth, some experts think that the microglia may be the real culprit behind radiation-induced brain defects. The researchers' previous work in rats showed that anti-inflammatory drugs helped to restore some neurogenesis.
Without such intervention, stem cells damaged by radiation do not seem to recover, according to Monje. But there is hope: exercise has been shown to stimulate neurogenesis in healthy animals and in people, so Monje thinks there is a good chance that being active would help improve cognition in cancer survivors, too.
