Visualization of electrochemically driven solid-state phase transformations using operando hard X-ray spectro-imaging
In situ techniques with high temporal, spatial and chemical resolution are key to understand ubiquitous solid-state phase transformations, which are crucial to many technological applications. Hard X-ray spectro-imaging can visualize electrochemically driven phase transformations but demands considerably large samples with strong absorption signal so far. Here we show a conceptually new data analysis method to enable operando visualization of mechanistically relevant weakly absorbing samples at the nanoscale and study electrochemical reaction dynamics of iron fluoride, a promising high-capacity conversion cathode material. In two specially designed samples with distinctive microstructure and porosity, we observe homogeneous phase transformations during both discharge and charge, faster and more complete Li-storage occurring in porous polycrystalline iron fluoride, and further, incomplete charge reaction following a pathway different from conventional belief. In conclusion, these mechanistic insights provide guidelines for designing better conversion cathode materials to realize the promise of high-capacity lithium-ion batteries.

A former partner in the Beso club, Mali Nachum, claims Longoria violated California usury laws.
The suit was filed on Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Longoria lent Mr Nachum $1 million for the venture in 2009 and was promised repayment at 8 per cent annual interest and a large stake in the club.
But according to the suit, Mr Nachum discovered in December that the terms violated California usury laws.
He estimates damages of at least $4 million and is seeking three times that figure.
A statement from Longoria's publicist calls the suit meritless and blames her former partners for forcing the nightclub into bankruptcy protection last week.

"Life consists of few days..few good and few bad days decide our whole lives"..so it boils down to decisions we make!!..hmm these or something like these lines from movie 'Riding in cars with boys' have been ringing in my head for past...say two months....simple lines, we all know abt it..but still.....
'Million Dollar Baby', another remarkable movie, that casted some sort of spell on me, it happened after long time, last time Shawshank Redemption did more than that!!
whoaa..world cup is in full swing...is seriously interesting n aggressive this time!!
World cup never fails to bring back memories..and hell lot of them....it all started with 'Mexico-86' WC, and the semfinal between Argentina n England was one of the my earliest memories of the game.
Surprisingly, Germany the most boring team is playing good aggressive brand of soccer....hmm..now Brazil is out of it, I support Italy like the way I did in Italia 90' though that time Baggio broke the heart.....thats another story.
Money does something to people, I always knew this but here daily I see this reality in its stark naked sense!!
There is nothing called 'bondings' or 'friendship', rather its all about using people, and making false pride and bank balance swell!
Noisy, be it watering plants or cleaning the streets with huge vaccum cleaners or manicuring the shrubs...all these machines have one thing in common they make a hell lot of noise, good enough to scare away the sleep for couple of days... disappointments in US..as wifey calls them!
Bravo n Sarwan, all set to create history in Sabina Park :-( ...dunno why such things happen with us.

Gordon Craig argued that puppets are "descendants of a great and noble family of images, images which were made in the likeness of God." You can see something of what he means in this video: the amplified illusion, with all the torturous labour to perform it crudely visible, is so much more powerful than any more realistic enactment possibly could be. The awe it evokes is similar to that elicited by images of gods, which, although we know them to be human creations, call our dormant imaginations into play in ways that, breaking free of banality, seem superhuman.

Barack Obama
Being Canadian, I naturally don't get to vote in the U.S. Presidential primaries or elections, but just as naturally, I have an opinion. Because it is the most powerful office in the most powerful country in the world, everyone has some stake in who becomes the next President of the United States of America. And because the country is our closest neighbour, our largest trading partner, and our nearest relative culturally, Canadians have an even greater interest than most others in the question.
So here is my opinion. When the candidates were first named, it seemed to me that John McCain was obviously the best of a rather weak Republican field. For the Democrats, I assumed that I would favour Hillary Clinton, despite some slight misgivings about a couple of her past tactical blunders. At the time, I had little direct knowledge of Barack Obama, so the suggestions of his "inexperience" seemed credible. Over the course of the winter, however, I became convinced that Obama is by far the most promising candidate, for the following reasons.
The world is at a crucial turning point in which the ecological crises are and will be generating enormous political tensions all over the globe, and especially in the Middle East and Africa. Deforestation, lack of clean water and over-population will foment drought, famine, disease and social violence. It is naïve to think that this coming situation is any longer avoidable; the crucial question will be one of how it is managed.
In any attempt to meet this problem creatively and positively, the role played by the United States will be crucial. The world needs it to play a positive role of leadership, because we cannot afford to have so powerful a player working against the needs of the team. But if the United States continues to be riven on the domestic front by all the old dysfunctional suspicions and hatreds between the Right and the Left, between the rich and the poor, and amongst Black and White and Hispanic Americans, it will not be able to provide effective leadership. Likewise, if the profound hatreds and suspicions felt towards the United States by many in the world ⎯ particularly the Muslim majorities in the Middle East and North Africa, which are the greatest ecological and political trouble spots ⎯ continue to grow, then we can only expect the cataclysmic results of the inept invasion of Iraq to spread and worsen. Hearts and minds must be won over and united at home and abroad in order to begin to unite moral authority to the political power possessed by the United States. The nation needs to recover the high idealistic ground represented in its founding documents and overthrow all the years of self-interested conniving, petty ideological grudges and profound social disaffection that have resulted in all those many disgusting spectacles of moral failure which I hardly need to itemize here. The person who should be the next President of the United States is the person with the character and skills best suited to creating the conditions in which this nearly miraculous transformation can take place.
I don't believe that John McCain, for all his courage, can do such a thing, because his domestic ideas are basically cut from the well-worn wishful-thinking of the Reagan era, and because he is too deeply distrusted outside of his own country to build any new bridges. I don't believe that Hillary Clinton can do the job, because although she has had some good ideas, she is in her character a profoundly partisan politician. Her campaign style is further evidence of this fact. In the past, she may have been right sometimes in pointing to the workings of nefarious right wing conspiracies, but nothing she has said since the days of Kenneth Starr's investigations is likely to allay the hatred of any of those who have been against her. If she gains the Presidency, it will represent, at best, a swinging of the pendulum back to something like its place under the leadership of her husband; but she will carry an even longer history of partisan grudges with her, with much less of Bill Clinton's disarming charisma to offset the anger and distrust.
Barack Obama, by contrast, is as honest and forthright and as non-partisan a Presidential candidate as the United States has seen in more than a century. His rhetoric is inspiring not because it offers facile platitudes, but because he re-embraces the founding principles of his country from a stand-point that is fully-informed and truthful about the deep grievances and angers felt by many about the repeated betrayal of those principles by self-interested political parties. He is formidable in debate, but refuses to stoop to cheap shots, not out of weakness, but because he believes what he says: that such kinds of discourse represent much of what is wrong with the political culture of his country, and he would like to change this.
The notion of Obama's inexperience is a canard. The eligible person with the closest experience of what it is like to be President in the post 9/11 world is Dick Cheney. Is there anybody who believes that his experience really qualifies him? George W. Bush, who is rightly considered a strong candidate for "Worst U.S. President in History," was the son of a President, and moreover had years of experience as Governor of Texas (where the experience he gained included signing more sentences of execution than any other politician in American history). The point I am trying to make is this: people gain their experience of decision-making in a certain sort of context; they come to believe through experience that certain kinds of decisions are the most effective. So, if you want a different sort of decision-making, you go to somebody with a different sort of experience: someone whose different experiences have created a different sort of character. That Obama understands American politics well enough to have come so close to the Amerian Presidency as he has already, while runnng a radically different campaign that refuses to practice the politics of fear-mongering, of resentment, of unfair insinuation, of character assassination or of venality, shows, to my mind, that he is eminently well-qualified for the office.
Finally, let's consider the question of race. You would have to be profoundly self-deceptive to deny that race matters a great deal on both the domestic and the international stage. The feelings of disaffection from the American mainstream among young Afro-Americans is probably as severe a problem as the feeling of hatred and distrust of America amongst the Islamic nations. But imagine what the prospects might look like for a solution to this problem from the point of view of someone who actually represents the future. Try to put yourself in the place of a black twelve year-old---either an inner-city Afro-American or a Muslim living in North Africa---who has been taught that the founding principles of American democracy have become nothing more than hypocritical words used by rich, white patriarchs to secure political advantage. The effect of hearing these principles recovered, in a realistic, committed way, by a man who does not come from a rich, white background but who has attained a position of respectability and influence; who has a deep understanding of Islam that was fostered by being taught in a Muslim school; who refuses to gain advantage through low, partisan attacks; and who fearlessly speaks about difficult truths, would make an incalculably huge positive difference.
I'll close with three videos. The first is a long one: about 40 minutes or so. It shows Obama making what I consider to be one of the finest political speeches of the modern age, a speech given in Philadelphia in March. He is talking about perhaps the most inflammatory issue in American society: race. He is honest, forthright, realistic, dignfied, statesmanlike and hopeful. In my view, only the most hardened cynic could listen and yet remain unmoved by what he says.
The next two are short music videos featuring songs by Will.I.Am, from The Black-Eyed Peas. I include them here in an attempt to capture something of the inspiration Obama instils in others. It is difficult to think of any other politician in recent years who could have inspired such heart-felt, unironic, admiring and hopeful tributes as these are.

It seems like Demetri McCamey always has someone talking to him. If it's not coach Bruce Weber, it's kid brother DeAndre McCamey or old pal Derrick Rose speaking through a magazine article Weber gave him.
And then there's the specter of Michael Jordan, who was watching from a suite Saturday as McCamey and his Illinois teammates improved to 7-1 with a 76-42 blowout of Georgia in their annual United Center appearance.

The House Of Torment Revealed!
Ben Armstrong NETHERWORLD Haunted House
FIND THE BEST HAUNTED HOUSES IN TEXAS CLICK HERE: http://www.hauntworld.com/texas_haunted_houses
For whatever reason, Texas is a major Haunted House state. Next to Ohio, Pennsylvania & Michigan it was just one of those places full of attractions that people were always talking about. In the late 90's when we were just getting rolling, names like Dr. Blood's Screamscapes (The brainchild of Drew Hunter, now with Sally Corp.), Hangman's Haunted House (D'Ann Dagen's place), Verdun Manor (masterpiece of the late great Lance Pope), Cutting Edge (owned by Todd James) and Elm Street Haunterpreneurs (Leonard Pickel and Beau Baumann) all called Texas home. Other Texas names often surfaced at Transworld and on the message boards of the time, folks like the late JB Corn of Castle Dragon, Patrick Matthews with Nightmare in the House of Wax and the legendary Dr. John Anderson.
I like to joke that in Ohio it was the proximity to Lake Erie that contributed to the local creep factor, but I still don't know what it is about Texas. But one thing is for certain, all over that great state they love scaring people! In 2008 an Austin, Texas haunt, a mere youngster by Texas standards (at just 6 years old) emerged on the national stage and dropped jaws, a new attraction with a powerful visual presentation that would do the long tradition of Texas Haunts proud….The House Of Torment!
The House of Torment?
It started with a video posted on the Hauntworld forums, a black and white nightmarish presentation featuring a pig-headed man and some truly twisted imagery. Then came the photos, stunning shots of two or three story construction, a toppled steeple, a blasted city filled with rubble and filth, and some crazy custom creatures. Then came the website, featuring a 2008 theme trailer that looked and sounded like a Hollywood movie! Other parts of the site resembled a video game with creature power ranking graphics and pop out monsters and then there was the infamous "Creep" call, a feature that would allow you to get a phone message from their icon "Mr. Creep". Cool stuff that so impressed Larry Kirchner and the Hauntworld message boards that the HoT ended up on the Hauntworld Top 13 list! But who were these guys and where did they come from? I was about to find out!
One Dark Night…
It was a weeknight in early October 2008 at NETHERWORLD when the House of Torment came to call. All four of the core team members had made the trek from Texas just to see us. In attendance were Daniel McCullough, the Owner / President of HoT; Jon Love, the Vice President and marketing whiz; Matt Garcia, the Art Director, creature creator and alter ego of "Mr. Creep"; and Mike Garcia, the General Operations Manager, actor coordinator and slider also known as "Sgt. Graves". It is always fun to have fellow haunters come to visit, but we were in for a special treat! After going through our haunt, Matt Garcia and Mike Garcia transformed into their alter egos and spent the rest of the evening scaring and entertaining our customers with the rest of our lot actors. What a blast to see Mr. Creep comparing top hats with the Collector (our top hat wearing skeletal guy) and Sgt. Graves doing power slides with our slider goblin Caliban and downhill spins with Baron Samedi!
After NETHERWORLD wrapped for the night we spent several hours comparing notes on haunting at the local Denny's and heard some of the background on this emerging haunt. It was clear HoT was on the fast track with their event, and growing at a huge rate. What were the secrets of their success? Don't touch that dial!
Beyond October….
The 2008 season now behind us I saw The House of Torment yet again, this time on America's Scariest Haunted Houses 3 playing back on my DVR. The season at last over it was time to relax for a moment and catch up on all of the Haunt Shows that had aired in October. There they were, greeting and terrifying patrons on their own home turf, flying from zip lines, and generally rocking the joint. The sets and costumes really looked different from most haunted houses, and I started to get the bug to check 'em out first hand. Of course, Larry called within the week and asked if I wanted to write a story for Hauntworld about them. Before I knew it, it was late January and I was on a plane to Texas!
The Trip to Torment…
Now I couldn't go all the way to Texas and just see one haunt… So I stopped by Ft. Worth and saw the infamous Cutting Edge Haunted House! Owner Todd James played a classic joke on me… After driving me to the haunt in his monster truck hearse, we started walking through the show with the lights on and BLAM one of those propane machine guns goes off making me jump out of my skin, the lights go out, Todd disappears and the music turns on. I start walking and actors are leaping out! They gave me a full performance, actors and all, including covering me with 8 feet deep of bubbles in their infamous foam room! It was a massive haunt and a very cool show but that story is a tale for another day…I highly recommend checking it out if you are in that part of the world next October!
A Tour of Torment…
I finally arrived at HoT. They have a very interesting building, a former movie theatre that had been converted to a Laser Tag arena. When they got in the place, the floors were level and all sorts of interesting multi-story ramps were in place. Guests approaching the building are first greeted by the huge Scarefactory Slayer that sits outside, affectionately known as Goggath. Then they must run the gauntlet of marauding characters that stalk the parking lot including Mr. Creep and Sgt Graves. When you enter the main Haunt (called Contagiom in 2008) you are greeted with a massive façade of buildings complete with fire escapes and business signage. The theme was an invasion of strange creatures and some sort of infection of the population stemming from a secret research base. Unlike many haunts they stayed totally on theme through the entire event, and it sort of visually played out just like a video game.
You enter the main haunt through some sort of police station where some creatures are held in cells and then comes the Arena! This striking set is the heart of the attraction. It is a large scene, surrounded on all sides by towering building facades. Directly in front of you is a toppled church steeple, and strewn around are massive piles of rubble. The paint scheme of the entire place drips with dirty washes, almost as if the world has slipped into another realm a la Silent Hill.
In the dead center of the room is an upside down car that guests must wind around to escape the area and that is when some of HoT's wild stunts come into play. In 2008 they used acrobatic Parkour trained actors to leap OVER the heads of guests, and climb about in the rubble. In one spot covered by wreckage is a stage designed for that very purpose, a platform built to allow a leap to the overturned car! Also in the Arena is a long zip line maybe 80-100 feet. Actors in extremely expensive professional harnesses fly over the crowds landing on the second floor of a building on the other side of the Arena only to rotate around and fly right back!
Leaving the Arena you head into a decayed building with several rooms including a bedroom and a living room. One cool thing here is the low ceiling with drop sprinkler heads. Few haunts can afford to do this, and the claustrophobia feeling after the massive Arena is a great effect. Also in this room you come across the first of their remotely controlled scares. From a hidden control room, operators can watch night vision cameras, and decide exactly when to trigger certain gags, in this case a powerful air cannon concealed under the bed. The detail is top notch, webs, drippy paint washes, old magazines and dead flowers are in abundance along with several hidden actor doors.
Back out in the street you have a view of the Arena, passing by police barricades and piles of skeletons near an old newsstand. Then it is into the butcher shop for a surreal experience. After the meat display case scene (where a corpse animation drops down behind the counter) it is into the back room of the shop. Here a nasty stringy meat beast, reminiscent of the THING in the 80's remake dangles from the ceiling. In the meat locker guests bounce between hanging pigs to encounter a twisted sight, a massively muscled bare-chested actor waits in the back of the freezer, his head that of a horse!
Leaving the shop, guests find themselves on the back part of the toppled steeple with more views of the Arena. Here awaits the second zip line, another chance to be buzzed by crazy stunt actors. It is in this area along the back wall of the building that a funny thing began to happen with the HoT guests. When the alley scene was built they added a fake door to the exterior wall for set dressing. Freaked out guests have repeatedly tried to escape out that particular door, repeatedly ripping it off the hinges to reveal a blank wall!
At this point you enter a collapsed building choked with rubble. A faux wreaked elevator confronts guests, along with a room filled with tons of flickering candles. Now a series of sharp ramps must be hiked up, leading them ultimately to the upper level of the building. The final zip line is found here as a strange creature zooms overhead in a hall of pictures. Reaching the top you wind through a series of rooms including an attic (with a weird animatronic creature hidden among the boxes), an office and other mundane settings all rotted out by the effects of the strange invasion. A long catwalk between sections is actually concealed inside of the clock tower, and now guests are very near to the final section, the Secret Lab!
A busted out wall just past a strobing mass of electrical wires reveals the tunnel to the secret lab. All the walls are corrugated metal, a favorite place for indoor sliding! The Lab sequence begins with an autopsy/morgue area featuring several posed creatures and a thrashing chained body. In a corner is a huge rack full of 55 gallon drums, a favorite percussion area for the actors. Then patrons pass a series of cool custom body chambers, made totally in house. Curved plexiglass walls show strange experiments within the tanks and one has a door for a hidden actor.
Now you descend down a series of ramps past odd displays of alien/creature tissues, deeper into the source of the contagium. The final area is a sewer sequence featuring a semi submerged monster leaping up from the water along with a powerful water/air cannon blast! A quick turn and guests run screaming into the parking lot, glad to be alive!
Illusion Manor
The second attraction at the House of Torment was Illusion Manor, a show that had many of the gothic trappings absent from the more modern Contagium. Guests enter an old mansion façade with a siding wall gag designed to move the last person in the group to the front. Of primary importance were the effects, wild illusions and other visual tricks designed to freak you out! They included a vortex tunnel, 2 squeeze tunnels, a haunted singing bust, Illusionator animated painting, upside down room, mirror maze, curtain hall and gypsy séance room among others. Also nice was a very ornate library sequence, and a custom made rotating wall. My favorite scene was the tilted anti-gravity room, a mind warping set where the athletic Parkour actors could literally run up the walls around the amazed guests! The final scare was a clever gag featuring a hanging TV, but I cannot tell you EVERY thing can I?
Behind The Scenes
We spent hours touring the haunts that day…myself, Daniel McCullough, the owner; Jon Love, the vice president; Matt Garcia, the art director, aka "Mr. Creep"; and Mike Garcia, the general operations manager, aka "Sgt. Graves". Other interesting areas were the tricked out boardroom they had for meetings, the aforementioned control room (see control room article) and most of all Matt's creature creation room. This is where all the creatures were sculpted and molded, and the amazing custom costumes were fabricated. The room was brimming with creepy goodies including a vast collection of scary toys for inspiration. Over it all a life sized figure of Mr. Creep stood watch from the corner.
After Hours
It was time for dinner after a long day of driving and haunt exploration. I was treated to a Texas tradition, The Salt Lick, an all you can eat meat feast that would be with me for DAYS! After that we had a considerable amount of tasty adult beverages, returning to the haunt in the wee hours to do a bit of flying on the zip lines! Yes, there was a designated driver/zip line instructor so we were never in any real danger….I think! A huge thank you goes out from me to the HoT crew for being gracious hosts and allowing me such a close look into their nightmarish world.
Torment and Beyond!
Overall the impression of The House of Torment was that of a very tightly themed, very realistic and very SCARY haunt, one that that totally had the vibe of a survival horror video game. The costuming and custom creatures had that twisted, almost S&M look sure to disturb as well as terrify with some of the wildest imagery in the haunt industry.
The environments were initially extremely realistic then covered by a layer of grime and rot that was evocative of the transformation sequences in Silent Hill as a point of reference, a style reminiscent of the paint washes and facading techniques of Universal Studios Horror Nights. For those of you who have been around awhile, it also had a strong feel of BRUTAL PLANET, the Distortions Unlimited/John Burton haunted house from so many years ago that pioneered the central room format and the decayed city look.
I don't think I have seen many haunts that held so close to an actual theme as this one, as the progression of scenes really seemed to follow a clear story. Yet another aspect that totally rocked about this place in addition to the custom art and the crazy stunts was the vast set of the Arena leading into the tight drop ceiling rooms - a juxtaposition that created an extremely claustrophobic feeling. All this in only their 6th year really shows an astounding potential…I know I as well as their "tormented" fans in the city of Austin will be eagerly looking forward to the new horrors they will unleash in years to come!

Asteroidea is bred to win Classics but her career can finally get off the mark in Ripon's Follow AtTheRaces On Twitter Handicap.
The three-year-old is a daughter of the brilliant Sea The Stars, who is really making his mark as a stallion this year, and 1000 Guineas winner Speciosa.
Speciosa was famously trained by Pam Sly, who also bred and owns Asteroidea, so it will be in her best interests that the filly gets off the mark as soon as possible.
She cut little ice in two maidens over a mile late last season but those were decent events, won by Godolphin's Gold Trail and the subsequent Oaks heroine Taghrooda.
Stepped up in trip this year she has shaped much better, firstly over 10 furlongs when second to the progressive Roseburg at 100-1.
She went on to prove that was no fluke when third of five at Doncaster.
Beaten just over five lengths, the winner, Forever Now, is part of John Gosden's St Leger squad so there was no disgrace at all in that performance.
The runner-up was second off a mark of 87 the other day, so off just 74 Asteroidea must take all the beating.
Lady Cecil's Sunrise Star finally opened her account first time out this season and can follow up in the Armstrong Memorial Handicap.
She improved with racing last season in three maidens, yet as she was beaten at short odds a couple of times some felt she had questions to answer on her reappearance at Bath.
Sent off long odds-on in a weak race, she absolutely bolted up by eight lengths and while her rating entitled her to win as she did, her confidence will have been given a nice boost.
This is a decent little contest but Sunrise Star might lead them a merry dance.
Richard Hannon's Mumford looked to be crying out for a sixth furlong last time out and gets it in the British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes at Windsor.
Fourth on his debut at Leicester over six, he was dropped to the minimum distance for what was an above-average contest at Chester, won by RIchard Fahey's Steve Prescott.
The course may not have suited, but he was run off his feet before charging home late to snatch second.
Hannon had him entered up everywhere this week but has decided to send him to his happy hunting ground.
Swiss Kiss is not one of John Gosden's stable stars but she is related to some classy performers.
It will be imperative for her breeders, the Lordship Stud, that she wins a race so the fact Gosden is running her in the Happy Birthday Miss Katrina Thomas Maiden Fillies' Stakes rather than a handicap off 73 is noteworthy.
Donald McCain has branched out into the two-year-old division and his Monksford Lady made a pleasing debut at Carlisle recently.
Drawn wide, she briefly looked a threat before her effort flattened out, although she looked like the run would do her the world of good physically and mentally.
The form is decent as the third, Mrs Biggs, won next time and Monksford Lady was just over three lengths back in fifth.

I'm going to Blog World 2009!By Wade Kwon
Back in September, I went to Blog World in Las Vegas, the second gathering of pros and wannabes to discuss and improve blogging. I had a great time and learned quite a bit (went to eight sessions in eight timeslots), but didn't do two things:
- Network. That was me being anti-social and shy. I missed out.
- Present. I applied, but didn't make the cut.
But I'll be going Oct. 15-17, because …
I won a free pass to Blog World 2009!
I received a Direct Message via Twitter last night:
"so you were one of the winners of a free pass this year for filling out our seminar eval form. I just found out ystrdy"
Thank you, Blog World Expo! I can't wait to go back, and bring more Birmingham bloggers with me.
I've been trading e-mail Rick Calvert, co-founder of Blog World, lately for an unrelated (but to-be-posted) matter, so I've already been thinking ahead to this year's convention. I'm still applying to be a speaker. And I plan to make the most of networking (hey, I did a little bit here and there).
And, of course, I plan on hitting the seminars, and filling out the evaluation forms, always with thorough and constructive comments.
Because, you never know …

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) -- A new study shows that students at Southeast Missouri State University provide a huge boost to the region's economy.
The Southeast Missourian reports that a study released by the university Friday found students spend more than $63 million locally on everything from rent to food to tattoos over the nine-month school year.
University officials say the report can be useful for those looking to open a business in Cape Girardeau, or trying to reach the student demographic in the region.
The largest spending by students was $10.8 million for groceries, with $7 million each spent for gas and rent.

Gibson Guitar was founded by Orville Gibson in 1894, and originally sold acoustic guitars and mandolins that used an innovative implementation of the arch-top design of violins. The company celebrated their 120th anniversary in 2014.Continue Reading
Gibson made all his instruments by hand in his own woodshop until 1902, when soaring demand led him to seek financial backing to form a manufacturing company. Gibson stayed on with the company as a consultant until 1904.
Gibson's first electric guitar was the EH-150. It was introduced in 1935. The ES-150 was introduced the next year and became the favorite model of jazz legend Charlie Christian.
The "Les Paul" models are Gibson's most successful signature guitar line. They were named for recording artist Les Paul, who was extremely popular when the line was launched in 1952.
The humbucker pickup was invented in 1957 by Gibson employee Seth Lover and almost immediately became an industry standard. Between 1957 and 1963 Gibson was also known for introducing very advanced electric guitar concepts such as the Flying V. While they did not do well commercially at the time, these models have gone on to become iconic and highly sought after.
Gibson debuted the world's first digital guitar in 2002.Learn more about Corporations

It culminated in a showcase concert during the Leith Festival which surpassed all our expectations, and which was hailed by the audience as "professional", "moving" and "inspirational".
During Inspire 2 (2012-13), we worked with The Bethany Trust, YMCA Edinburgh, The Alma Project, Edinburgh Cyrenians and The Rock Trust. Inspire 2 was funded by Creative Scotland, The Robertson Trust, The Margaret Murdoch Trust, The High Constables of Edinburgh and many in-kind donations of instruments, time and expertise.

Angels Volume I: The Angelic Realm
Chuck Missler
For thousands of years most of us have either had or still hold to misconceptions, myths, legends, or traditions about angels and our own reality. In this study we will deal with these fascinating entities.
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
2 Kings 6:15-17
A hidden army of protection: A reality that is normally hidden from our view. But are they real? What are the discoveries on the advance of science that may shed light on our understanding of them?

TV's new Charlie'S Angels has been axed, less than a month after its big premiere.
The remake of the action drama, starring Minka Kelly, Annie Ilonzeh and Rachael Taylor, debuted on the ABC network on 22 September (11). It has been dropped by TV chiefs due to poor ratings and mediocre reviews.
The show was produced by Drew Barrymore, the star of the hit 2000 and 2003 movie adaptations, and was based on the popular 1970s series of the same name.

PLPR 2014 Conference to Devote Three Sessions to Coastline Management
The conference of the International Academic Association on Planning, Law and Property Rights (PLPR) will include panel sessions on coastline regulation and management as part of the EU-funded Mare Nostrum Project
Jan 29, 2014, 10:33 EST
HAIFA, Israel, January 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
The eighth annual conference of the International Academic Association for Planning, Law and Property Rights (PLPR), which will take place in Israel for the first time at The Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa February 11-14, 2014, will include three panel sessions on coastline regulation and management as part of the EU-funded Mare Nostrum Project.
Fourteen leading researchers and professionals will present 12 lectures divided into three panel sessions. The researchers represent eight countries including Australia, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Israel, The Netherlands, Spain and the US.
The first panel will focus on coastal management in the Mediterranean region and will include country-specific discussions on Israel, Greece and Spain. Particular attention will be given to comparing the various national frameworks represented, with the two additional panels focusing on comparisons between Australian coastal planning and the situations in the US and Europe.
"The PLPR conference brings together top researchers in the field of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) from all over the world," said The Technion's Prof. Rachelle Alterman, the founding president of PLPR and initiator of the Mare Nostrum Project.
"This will be a unique opportunity - the first of its kind globally - to learn how the tough challenges of coastline management are addressed on four different continents."
Mare Nostrum will present its first interim report, entitled "Existing Knowledge on Legal-Institutional Frameworks for Coastline Management. The International, EU and National Levels."
Following the academic conference, Mare Nostrum will hold a conference of all its partners focusing on Cross Border Cooperation on ICZM, February 18-22, 2014 in Alexandroupolis, Greece. Attendees will include universities, municipalities and NGOs in Greece, Spain, Malta, Turkey, Israel and Jordan.
About Mare Nostrum
Mare Nostrum is an EU-funded project which aims to explore new ways of protecting and managing the Mediterranean coastline within the existing ICZM Mediterranean framework. The project focuses on understanding the "implementation gap" between the Barcelona Convention's high expectations and realities on the ground, and on new legal and institutional tools to improve local practices from the "bottom-up," one notch at a time.

The Innovation Advisory Committee is a group of experts that review energy-efficient proposals not covered in the technical codes. The committee:
The Innovation Advisory Committee is a sub-committee of the Construction Codes Advisory Board.
A recommendation from the committee may include:
A favorable recommendation from the Innovation Advisory Committee helps our staff understand your proposal when we review your building permit application. Later, if we do not approve your permit application, the committee's favorable recommendation will be strongly considered if you ask the Construction Codes Advisory Board to review our decision.
We don't require additional permit fees for this process. Fees are based on the value of your project. Use our fee estimator to estimate how much your permit will cost. We will also charge hourly fees for certain reviews; see the Fee Subtitle for details.
You should allow up to 2 months for the committee review. The amount of time needed will depend on your proposal's complexity and the information the committee needs to review it.
Contact us at (206) 684-8850 to schedule a construction pre-submittal conference before you submit your permit application and before you request committee consideration. The pre-submittal conference will help you simplify your proposal and may even eliminate the need for committee review.

Tom Stevenson of Riverside won first place for an 82.8-pound yellowfin tuna. He said it bit a sardine on a 3/0 Mustad 91450 hook and 40-pound Maxima fluorocarbon, 40-pound Izorline and 65-pound Power Pro spectra on an Avet JX reel and a Calstar 610 rod.
Bryan Sweet of Whittier won second place for a 79-pound Guadalupe Island yellowfin tuna.
Apparently the largest yellowtail of the year, the 74-pound whopper mossback caught by James Stubblefield of Mission Viejo won third place.
James said the giant critter bit on a sardine and a 2/0 Owner ringed Gorilla hook and 40-pound Seaguar Premier fluorocarbon. He used 40-pound Izorline and 65-pound Power Pro spectra on an Accurate BX-2 600 reel and a Calstar 700 H rod.
He bit on the surface, James told dock reporter Bill Roecker, and he fought hard for 25 minutes after he pulled out a hundred yards of line. He took me from the stern to the bow.

Indy Challenge: Plenty Of Prizes
Jeff DeBuys brought Independence home to Pt. Loma Sportfishing after a dandy seven-day trip October 1. His 31 anglers found lots of dorado and yellowtail, and took home a plethora of prizes, as the top seven places got awards. The big one was a $1,000 certificate from the boat.
We fished on The Ridge and offshore, Jeff told Roecker. We had great dorado and yellowtail fishing, got some fat wahoo and some small yellowfin.
The big winner was John Branum of Selma, TX, who won first place and the $1,000 award for his 31.6-pound dorado.
Jeff and the crew were awesome, said Branum, who got his winner with a mackerel on a 3/0 Mustad 91450 hook on 40-pound Izorline, a Trinidad 30 reel and a Seeker Black Steel 6470 H rod.
The prizes were awarded as follows: Benny Le, Scott Ocheltree and William Tally got three Avet reels. Tim Ryan, Jay Love and Steve Johnson won three Seeker rods.

We Left Em All Biting
Art Taylor brought his Searcher home to Fishermans Landing October 1 after a good trip of seven days with 23 passengers.
We had phenomenal fishing all the way around, said Art. We left em all biting when we had enough. We released at least 100 yellowtail and 100 dorado.
A chunk bait was the undoing of the trips best fish, a 47.6-pound yellowtail, the biggest to come from the 23 Spot in years. The angler who bagged that one was Terry Wade of Sand Diego, who hung his piece of fish meat on a 7/0 Mustad Demon circle hook tied to 50-pound Izorline. He used a Tiagra 30 reel and a Calstar 700 M rod.
He rocked me and broke off my 12-ounce sinker, said Wade. He gave me 15 minutes worth after I got him out of there.
Michael Otahal of Seal Beach won second place for his 35.4-pound yellow. Ron Bryan of San Clemente tied with Marshall Randall of Arroyo Grande for third place, as both men had 30.8-pound yellowtail.

Whiteys Back
Several white sharks hanging around the Royal Star during her seven-day trip that visited Guadalupe Island collected a heavy tax, the majority of tuna hooked by 25 anglers fishing with skipper Randy Toussaint.
We had four or five going at times, said Toussaint, but the tight lines would go ping, ping, ping. The sharks were just brutal, and there were no other boats around to distract em.
Enough tuna were decked for the jackpots, however. Steve Bennett won first place for a 71.6-pounder, but he couldnt be located at the dock for a photo or words about his tackle.
Oscar Muela scored a 66.2-pound yellowfin for second place, and Jeff McNeely of Long Beach bagged a 58-pounder for third place. Greg Stott of Long Beach posed for a photo with a typical yellowtail for the trip.
Captains Tim Ekstrom, Randy Toussaint and Brian Sims

I just went to a fair with my kids, where all four of them participated in a hula-hoop contest. My children are not world-class hula-hoopers. They are mediocre at best and didn't outlast the winner. It was just something fun for them to do.
But guess what? They all won participant ribbons! So forever we can celebrate and remember their mediocrity at rotating a plastic hoop around their hips.
Sigh. They loved the ribbons. They smiled and proudly showed them to Dad, who secretly rolled his eyes at me afterward. There's something really annoying about the fact that we've created a culture where we can't allow kids NOT to win. We don't want our kids to think they are less than the best.

myDatavo Communicator - Reliable Functionality That Fits Your Needs
Whether it is individuals or business enterprises, consumers are changing the
way they keep in touch with the outside world. Wireless, wireline and
competitive service providers are now able to meet their customers' growing
demand for contact and telephony demands. These demands range from versatile to
cross-platform and contact and telephony tools. This has been made possible
solely by the myDatavo communicator.
A myDatavo softphone:
The Communicator Desktop developed for windows comes with a superior softphone
with an advanced contact manager to enable users send and receive simple text
messages, superior quality voice conversation or video calls. Clients have the
option of integrating it with social network as well as business networks which
enable them to receive instant voice messages as well as improve their global
presence, both at home and at the office. Most importantly, myDatavo
Communicator can be connected to mobile phone service providers which eventually
strengthens the service provider's signal strength in areas where signal
strength is low or are constantly interrupted.
The exclusive SIP Provisioning Server and the Service Assurance Server has
drastically eradicated the need for client configuration. In addition to that,
the myDatavo service assurance servers provide unique and proactive analysis to
network managers, thereby providing them with experience qualities while also
significantly reducing their time investment on repairing metrics.
Coming with a fully integrated myDatavo, we boast of a leading telephony and
control interface which enables carriers to deliver branded experience that are
in tandem with their customers' download requests.
In the enterprise:
Today's IT platforms demand advanced features, something that myDatavo has
delivered. It can be used to either complement or provide alternatives that are
cost-effective when deploying new office handsets. With its outstanding video
and HD voice features, this application can also synchronize all the important
contacts of the business with Microsoft Outlook or any other active directory
databases. This enables direct click-to-click capabilities from the softphone
interface. This enables employees to have uninterrupted access to business services
which include but not limited to dialing plans and workgroup attendant
consoles. This they can do whether they are at the office or driving home.
In the home:
The myDatavo Communicator can extend to your personal computer back at home. It
comes with residential telephone offerings which have outstanding
high-definition features like voice and video, popup messages and call
histories, among others. It also incorporates XMPP instant messaging, where
users can not only consolidate, but also manage and communicate with their
social and personal contacts. All these are done through a single interface.
There are stringent privacy rules which protect users from unauthorized viewing
or access. On the same breath, buddy tagging feature alerts users when their
friends' status has changed.
For mobile:
myDatavo Communicator has a powerful iPhone and Android application that enables
users to extend their business and residential services directly to their
hands. Valuable business telephony services that are demanded of IT managers
are fully integrated in myDatavo Communicator. These include among others
4-digit dialing auto attendant and call distributions that are fully automated.

Europe-it's a continent full of different cultures, food specialties, architecture, art, scenery, and histories-and this is the ideal Continental Introduction: experience and see what many of the European countries have to offer on your escorted tour of Continental Europe. You'll spend two nights in Paris, Rome, Venice, and Amsterdam and an overnight in Lucerne, Lugano, Florence, Munich, and the Rhineland. On your sightseeing tours, you'll see examples of the local art and architecture, such as Michelangelo's David statue and the magnificent cathedral in Florence, Michelangelo's ceiling paintings in Rome's Sistine Chapel, the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Elysees in Paris, and the mansions in Amsterdam. You'll also learn about the fascinating histories as you visit attractions such as Rome's St. Peter's Basilica; Lucerne's Lion Monument, commemorating the Swiss Guards killed during the French Revolution; the medieval center of Innsbruck; and Rothenburg, a walled town that has preserved its medieval character. Food and drinks are important elements to local cultures and to any vacation to Europe. That's why on this European tour, Globus has included some unique opportunities to sample the local food, like a dinner with Tuscan specialties at a local restaurant in Florence. A cruise on the River Seine, a welcome dinner in Paris' renowned artist area of Montmartre, as well as a visit to Munich's famous Hofbrauhaus, dating back to 1589, are also included. Magnificent scenery also awaits you on this tour to Europe. You'll enjoy spectacular Lake Lugano in Switzerland, the towering majesty of the Swiss Alps, a beautiful Rhine cruise passing by castle-crested hills and terraced vineyards, and more. Scenery, food, historical monuments, distinct art and architecture, and much more-it's all available on this splendid European guided tour!
