Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
Actually, in the past 12 months we have actually been better than the Aussies.
In ODIs, we can certainly match the Aussies, as shown by the recent 1-1 series draw.
Not since Austrlia last played a ODI series there.Originally Posted by cric_manic

Higher winning percentage last year?Originally Posted by FaaipDeOiad
Umm... until New Zealand prove they can beat Australia they haven't shown themselves to be a better side. Australia played a 5 match ODI series in Sri Lanka last year, which is about as tough as it gets, and lost two matches there. The fact that New Zealand lost less matches against different opposition is not a valid point of comparison. In 2003 Pakistan had a higher test winning percentage than Australia as well, it didn't make them a better side.Originally Posted by Blaze
Yeah thats why I am looking forward to the upcoming series becuase hopefully we can show how good we areOriginally Posted by FaaipDeOiad
as if the retirement of Richardson hasn't caused the selectors enough problems (the ongoing opener saga of which the only position that had been resolved was Richardson), the current injury clouds re Oram & Vettori must have them tearing their hair out...............both being the better performers in AUS............
if Vettori & Oram are both out we will probably see Wiseman as his replacement, but I'm not sure they will take Franklin (despite his contract), due to the way that Langer & Co took to him in AUS...........
another point will be wether they replace Oram with a batsman or a bowler.......
I'd like to think that they'd accept that they are likely to be on a hiding to nothing & look at some new faces in the Tests, but in reality I don't think they will & will go with their recent squad players - including the likes of Mills & Macca..........
that being the case they will need to pull something out of the bag so far as tactics go otherwise it is still a case of nothing new / different & the Test series result is likely to be much the same.............
You may have a better winning percentage, but then again England's Test winning percentage was better in 2004 - and nobody says they're a better Test side.Originally Posted by Ming
Erm, I'm afraid so.Originally Posted by marc71178
Yeah but England didn't draw a test series with Aus like NZ did in the ODI's against Aus. And that series was very very evenOriginally Posted by marc71178
Based on what?Originally Posted by cric_manic
Australia are ranked number 1 for a very good reason - they are the best side, and have been for some time now.

n the early 1830s, Thomas "Daddy" Rice, a white actor, began caricaturing blacks in his stage performances. One of his characters, a black man named "Jim Crow," would become synonymous with legalized segregation in this country. During the so-called Jim Crow era of the late 19th through mid-20th centuries, separation of the races in public transportation, parks, restaurants, and other public places was either required by law or permitted as a cultural norm. Public schools were no exception to this rule. School systems across the South were typically segregated. After 1896 these schools were supposed to adhere to the separate but equal rule established by the United States Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson, but in reality, the schools for blacks were most often inferior to the schools for whites. It was this inequality that galvanized the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to begin the process of dismantling Jim Crow through the court system in the early 20th century.
The New Kent School and the George W. Watkins School, located in New Kent County, Virginia, are associated with the most significant public school desegregation case the U.S. Supreme Court decided after Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. While Brown determined that separate schools were inherently unequal, it did not define the process by which schools would be desegregated. The 1968 Charles C. Green, et al., v. County School Board of New Kent County, Virginia, et al. decision defined the standards by which the Court judged whether a violation of the U.S. Constitution had been remedied in school desegregation cases. Henceforth, a decade of massive resistance to school desegregation in the South from 1955-1964 would be replaced by an era of massive integration from 1968-1973, as the Court placed an affirmative duty on school boards to integrate schools. The New Kent and George W. Watkins schools illustrate the typical characteristics of a southern rural school system that achieved token desegregation following the Brown decision. They stand as a symbol to the efforts of the modern Civil Rights Movement of 1954-1970 to expand the rights of black citizens in the United States.

Matt Costa Shows

About Matt Costa
When Matt Costa sat down to write what would become Unfamiliar Faces, the follow-up to his 2005 debut full-length Songs We Sing, the singer/songwriter took his most treasured belongings and put them on a shelf then stared at them and just let the memories flow. "That way I could see everything that I loved," he explains (the collection included his favorite books, a giant wooden pipe, and a box of old 45-speed records from the late 1950s). "I let my imagination wander. Regular life isn't as exciting as an imaginary life."
He may thrive on imagination, but Costa's real life has never been dull. He grew up next door to a pet cemetery, played trumpet and piano, gave his first impromptu performance on a houseboat, and focused more on skateboarding than school in his hometown of Huntington Beach, California. He was drawn to the freedom and improvisation of skating, and also says, "I discovered a lot of music through skating B-sides that nobody else had heard that made me want to find more music."
A few years later, just before he was ready to turn pro, a life-changing leg break led him to turn his attention to songwriting while he healed from painful surgeries. He wrote some songs on guitar, befriended No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont via the vibrant SoCal arts scene, and recorded Songs We Sing with Dumont as his guide. "One of the first things he told me was 'stop practicing so hard and let the feeling come out,'" Costa says. "It stuck with me because that's the key to music. The light went on in my head."
On the strength of the folky, beautiful Songs, which displays his gentle artistry and skillful acoustic guitar playing, Costa earned a rep as an L. A. buzz act, crisscrossed the U. S. in a van, and performed at all the major North American music festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Sasquatch, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits among others. Invigorated by onstage collaborations with tour openers like Los Angeles rockers The 88 and Elvis Perkins, he returned to California and wrote nearly all of Unfamiliar Faces in Sacramento, then recorded the album in the spring of 2007 in Santa Ana, again with Dumont, even inviting Adam Merrin from The 88 to play keys on a few tracks. It's Costa's second release on Brushfire Records, the label co-founded by Jack Johnson, who has been a longtime supporter the two fellow musicians have toured together several times and collaborated on numerous soundtrack projects.
From spunky piano-driven opener "Mr. Pitiful" and the country-tinged acoustic "Never Looking Back" to the textured "Bound" and jangly power-pop of "Emergency Call," Unfamiliar Faces finds Costa wrapping his appealing melodies in increasingly ambitious packages that recall the Shins, Spoon and Ben Folds. Though Costa's sound has a sunny, bouncy vibe, he's not afraid to get introspective: "Trying to Lose My Mind" is based on a dark period during his recovery from surgery when he faced crippling panic attacks that he only later found out were brought on by pain-killer withdrawal after a friend mentioned his parents had undergone the exact same experience. He says the title track summarizes how he felt while writing the album. "I'm always feeling like I'm suspicious of what people are really thinking. Everyone has another side that maybe you don't know: their unfamiliar face."
Costa has never had a shortage of ideas for his songs (he did, however, have a shortage of tape recorders: A girlfriend who wasn't particularly fond of his touring had a habit of burying his four-track in the backyard when he skipped town for shows). When he tells stories, he speaks with the kind of poetic good humor he demonstrates in his songwriting like when he relays how he and his band drove through a twister on a trip through the Midwest, but didn't really know what they'd been through until hours later. Or how an agave plant recently saved his life after a tequila-fueled fall off a balcony.
Thinking back to his time writing Unfamiliar Faces, Costa reflects on how he pulled stories out of the possessions he packed into that bedroom in Sacramento that he painted an inspiring green. "Every day I'd look at the same things and find different memories and attach different moments. You can come into a room and every day feel different about it, I feel the same way about songs, each time you listen to them you can find something new," he muses.

EVERETT — A north Everett family of six lost their home in a fire Wednesday afternoon.
The fire occurred in the 2200 block of Eighth Street near Everett Community College.
No one was home when the fire broke out, Everett assistant fire marshal Eric Hicks said.
Someone called 911 around 12:50 p.m. to report smoke and flames coming from the three-bedroom rambler, Hicks said.
"The bulk of the flames were put out within 10 to 15 minutes," he said.

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 1: Who is Frederick Douglass?
Born into an enslaved life on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in 1818, Frederick Douglass grew up in his grandmother's small cabin. Raised by her, Douglass never knew who his father was and he only saw his mother a few times in his life. While he was still a small boy, his grandmother brought him, under orders, to the master's home at Wye Plantation. This event began Douglass's journey through slavery.
Like other enslaved children, Douglass wore rough clothes and ate slop (leftovers from the kitchen). Unlike other enslaved children, however, he was not restricted to running errands or helping in the fields. Instead, he became the playmate of the plantation owner's son. Despite his access to the plantation house, Douglass was not an equal. He fished and played games the way his white "friend" told him.
He was very intelligent, but never went to school. When he lived in Baltimore working as a house servant, the wife of his temporary master started to teach him to read. When her husband found out, he angrily stopped her. After this, Douglass realized education was a key to success and freedom and he became self-taught.
Sent back to the Eastern Shore, Frederick Douglass yearned for the freedom he saw white men had. He did not want to work in the fields for the rest of his life. As a teenager, Douglass attempted his first escape by canoe from a plantation that had hired Douglass from his owner. He failed and luckily avoided a harsh punishment, but he continued to dream of freedom. Douglass finally escaped in 1838 by boarding a train in Havre de Grace, Maryland, dressed in sailor's clothes and using the pass of a free black man. The following is an excerpt from Douglass's recollection of his escape:
Terrified that he would be discovered, Douglass described a close call on the train:
He was not caught. Arriving first in New York City, Douglass continued on to New Bedford, Massachusetts. There he adopted a new name, married his sweetheart (whom he had met in Baltimore), and began a new life. Thanks to the African American married couple who gave Douglass shelter in New Bedford, he realized the privileges and disadvantages (prejudice, threat of recapture) of the life of free blacks in the North. After impressing an audience in Nantucket with his speaking skills, Douglass became a traveling lecturer familiarizing audiences with the realities of slavery. He presented himself so well that he had to publish his autobiography with details of his identity to make his time in slavery believable. After the publication in 1845 of the first of Frederick Douglass's three autobiographies, friends encouraged him to take a trip abroad, in part from fear that the publicity might attract the attention of his former owner. While in Great Britain, Douglass became legally free when he inspired supporters to purchase his freedom. Once back in the United States, Douglass continued to speak out against slavery and began publication of his newspaper, The North Star. Well-known to both free and enslaved people, Douglass remembered his own flight from slavery and aided freedom seekers wherever he lived.
Douglass viewed the Civil War as a war for freedom. When war came, Douglass was the leading African American to advise Abraham Lincoln on the need to end slavery and to urge the use of African American troops. Once Lincoln gave permission for their inclusion, Douglass became a recruiter, beginning with his sons. After the Civil War, Douglass was appointed as the first African American in several government positions -- United States marshal (1887) and recorder of deeds (1881) in Washington, DC. In 1889, President Benjamin Harrison appointed Douglas as the U.S. minister to Haiti. Throughout Douglass's remarkable life, he passionately spoke out against slavery and other social injustices. He died a respected statesman, orator, journalist, and author.
Questions for Reading 1
1) What was Frederick Douglass's life like in slavery? What made his experience different from many others who were enslaved?
2) How did Douglass try to escape the first time? How and when did he successfully escape from Maryland?
3) What did he do once he escaped from slavery? If you had been in his position, do you think you would been so outspoken and risked recognition? Remember, you have a family that will likely suffer if you are caught and you are likely to be punished for escaping. Can you think of a reason why Douglass might not have wanted to publish the details of his escape until after the Civil War?
4) Name a few of Douglass's accomplishments throughout his life. What do you think is the most meaningful?
Reading 1 was compiled from Life and Times of Frederick Douglass (Boston: DeWolfe & Fiske Co., 1892); William McFeely, Frederick Douglass (W.W. Norton & Company; Reprint, 1995); Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass (Boston: The Anti-Slavery Office, 1845).

SAN DIEGO, March 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Verenium Corporation (the "Company") (Nasdaq: VRNM), a leading industrial biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of high-performance enzymes, today announced certain preliminary financial results for its year ended December 31, 2012. The Company intends to provide fourth quarter and full year audited 2012 financial results on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 after market close.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120924/MM79973LOGO)
Verenium expects to report total revenue in the range of $57.0 million to $57.5 million and product gross profit in the range of $16.5 million to $17.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Verenium also expects to report operating income between $20.8 million and $21.3 million, including a $31.3 million gain on the sale of the Company's oilseed processing business and, excluding this gain, a non-GAAP operating loss between $10.0 million to $10.5 million. The Company believes that excluding the impact of this gain provides a more consistent measure of operating results.
The Company also expects to report capital expenditures in the range of $8.0 million to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and an unrestricted cash balance of approximately $34.9 million as of December 31, 2012.
"The progress we have made during 2012 towards our operational and partnering objectives, together with our solid financial performance, sets a strong foundation for 2013," said James Levine , President and Chief Executive Officer at Verenium. "We remain optimistic about the near-term opportunities for our high-performance industrial enzyme products and the long-term growth prospects for our company. We look forward to providing more detail on our 2012 financial performance when we report our final financial results for 2012."
Verenium also announced today that during the preparation process for the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K an error was identified in the Company's previously-issued financial statements related to the Company's accounting for its facility lease at 3550 John Hopkins Court in San Diego, CA.
Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") the Company is required to record an asset representing the total cost of the building and improvements, including the costs paid by the lessor (the legal owner of the building), with a corresponding lease financing obligation. As a result, the Company will restate certain historical financial statements as of, and for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2011, September 30, 2011, March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012. The restatement is expected to have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheets for the relevant periods. The impact of the restatement on the Company's consolidated net income (loss) for the relevant periods is expected to be insignificant. Further, the restatement will have no impact on the Company's reported cash position for the relevant periods.
"As we indicated in our June 2011 disclosures when we entered into this lease, we believe our facility is a highly attractive means for us to provide the space we need to grow our business on financial terms favorable to the Company," said Jeff Black , Chief Financial Officer at Verenium. "Today, we are revising the accounting treatment for our San Diego facility lease, as prescribed by GAAP; however, we feel it is critical for our stakeholders to fully understand that going forward, the approximately $22 million asset that will appear on our balance sheet as a result of this accounting revision is not legally owned by Verenium. We are considered the owner of the building solely for accounting purposes. This change in accounting does not represent a change in the economic terms or substance of our lease."
The financial restatement is described in more detail in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Obama administration sought on Wednesday to limit any damage to the long-standing U.S. alliance with Saudi Arabia in a rift over America's role in the Middle East that has underscored growing strategic differences.
A spate of unusually public complaints from leading members of the Saudi ruling family has shed new light on the kingdom's frustration with the United States over its perceived inaction on Syria, its diplomatic engagement with Iran and its coldness toward the military government in Egypt.
While no one is expecting a rupture in a strategic relationship that has served for more than half a century as a pillar of U.S. policy in the region, some of the mutual interests that brought the two allies together have started to fray.
A Saudi warning that it is considering a "major shift" away from the United States caught the Obama administration by surprise but it did not set off alarm bells in Washington. The White House has shown an increased willingness to risk strains with allies in order to pursue U.S. goals of avoiding military intervention in Syria and seeking a nuclear deal with Iran, Saudi Arabia's chief rival.
U.S. officials have taken pains to avoid the impression that they are not taking the Saudi concerns seriously.
But they are also showing no signs of giving ground, despite the warning by the Saudi intelligence chief to European diplomats earlier this week that Riyadh was contemplating a shift away from the United States.
White House spokesman Jay Carney acknowledged disagreements with Saudi Arabia but said: "We work those out in a candid and forthright way as we maintain the basic foundation of a very important relationship."
"We're going to keep working with our Saudi partners because that relationship is very important economically and in national security ways," he told reporters.
Some current and former U.S. officials privately have likened the Saudi outburst – all but unprecedented for a kingdom that prefers to conduct diplomacy in the shadows – to a temper tantrum that will have little lasting effect on bilateral ties.
There has been no sign, for example, that the Saudis want to scale back or close U.S. military installations, including a base used to launch unmanned drones against Islamist militants in neighboring Yemen, a U.S. national security source said.
Washington and Riyadh have long been close partners in the fight against al Qaeda, and there is mutual benefit seen in the long-standing U.S. role as ultimate security guarantor for oil supplies flowing from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf exporters.
"I would not say it's a fundamental breach. There are too many ways we depend" on one another, said a former senior U.S. official who has extensive experience dealing with Saudi Arabia.
"It's a family spat (between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia). But it's a serious one."
Still, some Washington-based analysts say views have become so divergent on issues like Syria, Iran and Egypt that it will be all but impossible for the United States and Saudi Arabia to ever return to being as closely aligned as they once were.
Saudi anger boiled over last week when it renounced a coveted seat on the U.N. Security Council, in protest at what it called international failures to resolve Syria's civil war and grant Palestinians a state.
Behind its concerns was a fear that its closest major ally had failed to respond robustly on Syria – both with threatened military strikes and the arming of anti-government rebels – and would give away too much in any negotiations with Iran.
Simon Henderson, an expert on the Gulf states at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said the Saudi message was that it regarded President Barack Obama and his administration as "tone deaf to Saudi interests."
Saudi Arabia, like Israel, is dismayed at the prospect of a U.S.-Iranian thaw because of what it sees as a threat to its own security if Tehran is given freer rein in the region.
The United States is also at odds with Saudi Arabia over Egypt, where Washington has curbed military aid after the overthrow of an elected Islamist government and Riyadh has pledged to replace any foreign assistance that is cut.
Prince Bandar, the kingdom's intelligence chief, has created the biggest diplomatic waves with his stark warning that Saudi Arabia would begin distancing itself from the United States.
Though questions have been raised in Washington whether Bandar was speaking for the Saudi leadership or just offering his personal opinion, diplomatic sources in the Gulf said the message from the prince – an outspoken former ambassador to Washington – reflected the views of King Abdullah.
The king once famously advised the United States to "cut off the head of the snake" by launching military strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, according to a 2008 U.S. diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks.
When Obama met Abdullah in 2009 on a visit to the Sunni Muslim kingdom, he had to sit through the monarch's lengthy monologue on Iran, Saudi Arabia's Shi'ite Muslim regional rival.
But the Saudis ended up helping Washington by filling the gap in global oil supplies created by Obama's drive for international sanctions that hit Iran's energy sector hard.
Some analysts now believe a shakeup of Obama's second-term national security team may have contributed to tensions by failing to name a high-level point person to deal with Saudi Arabia, and they suggest the president should now send an envoy to mend fences.
As Obama's counterterrorism chief, John Brennan, now CIA director, often went beyond his brief to handle issues related to Saudi Arabia, where he was CIA station chief for six years.
"If they perceive that they don't have a go-to person at a senior echelon, that's a problem because they're such a key partner," said Brian Katulis, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress think tank in Washington.

I am self-studying Discrete Mathematics, and there is the following exercise. (in Portuguese)
A plane is divided by many lines. Show that it is possible to color the regions formed with only two colors so that no two adjacent regions share the same color.
First of all, I was not able to solve it. Then I did I search on Google, and I've find the following here.
4.Show that if n lines are drawn on the plane so that none of them are parallel, and so that no three lines intersect at a point, then the plane is divided by those lines into $\dfrac{n^{2} + n + 2}{2}$ regions.
The next exercise is:
- Show that if the same lines as in problem $4$ are drawn on a plane that it is possible to color the regions formed with only two colors so that no two adjacent regions share the same color.
Proof: With zero lines, you can obviously do it; in fact, one color would be sufficient. If you can successfully $2$-color the plane with $k$ lines, when you add the $(k + 1)$st line, swap the colors of all the regions on one side of the line. This will provide a $2$-coloring of the configuration with $k + 1$ lines. (In fact, for this problem, there is no real need to have the lines in general position: some can be parallel, and multiple lines can pass through a point, and the proof will continue to work.)
I did a drawn, and I got convinced, but I did not understand it. I am feeling stupid, but I was not able to understand the proof without drawing.
I would appreciate your help.

Minced Fish on Lemongrass – For 6 skewers
400g firm white fresh fish fillets
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 fresh red chilli, finely chopped
2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves
2 kaffir lime leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fish sauce
juice of 1⁄2 a lime
1 tablespoon caster sugar
2 tablespoons plain flour
a scant 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1 egg white
6 lemongrass stalks
Cut the fish into very small pieces, or pulse very briefly (or it will become tough) in a food processor. Place the minced fish in a bowl and add the shallots, chilli, coriander, lime leaves, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, flour and salt. Stir gently until combined.
In another bowl, lightly beat the egg white and carefully fold it into the minced fish. Shape the mince into 6 balls (or flat patties), transfer them to a plate, then cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Take the fish balls out just before grilling, then press the balls around the lemongrass stalks, reshaping the fish mince into oblong patties. Barbecue the skewers for a few minutes on each side and serve them straight away.
One Pot Chicken with Fragrant Saffron Rice - SERVES 4
350g basmati rice
50g almonds, blanched and peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil for the rice
2 litres water + 1 teaspoon salt
15-20 saffron threads + 200 ml boiling water
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
6-8 chicken thighs
1 large onion, roughly chopped
50 g sultanas
10 whole green cardamom pods
1 small cinnamon stick
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
4 whole cloves
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
about 2 tablespoons butter
2 fresh bay leaves
Pour the basmati rice into a fine sieve and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Soak the rice for 1 hour in a saucepan with plenty of cold water.
Toast the almonds on a baking tray in a 200C oven for about 8 minutes, or until nicely coloured. Tip the almonds onto a plate and set aside. Rinse the soaked basmati rice once more in a fine sieve.
Pour the oil, 2 litres of water and salt into a heavy-based pot, add the rice and bring to the boil. Set aside and let stand for 5 minutes. Carefully pour out the excess water not absorbed by the rice. The rice should now be half-cooked; set it aside for now.
Next, grind the saffron in a mortar and mix it with the boiling water. Set it aside.
Heat a frying pan with the butter and oil and brown the chicken thighs over medium heat. Cook the chicken until nicely browned all over, and gradually transfer the pieces and cooking juices to the rice pot. Add the chopped onion, sultanas, toasted almonds and whole spices as well. Season with salt and drizzle over the saffron water, but don't stir (this will give the rice pretty yellow stripes).
Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer, covered, over very low heat for about 35 minutes. Dot with a few knobs of butter and garnish with the bay leaves. If you like, serve some thick natural yoghurt on the side.
Tiramisu – SERVES AROUND 8
24 savoiardi biscuits (ladyfingers or sponge fingers)
300ml strong coffee, cooled
2 large eggs, separated
5 tablespoons caster sugar
2-3 tablespoons amaretto (almond liqueur)
250g mascarpone, at room temperature
about 2 tablespoons sifted cocoa
Dip 12 of the biscuits in the coffee: they should just soak up a little coffee without becoming mushy. Arrange them in a dish that will fit two snug layers of biscuits. Beat the egg whites in a bowl until stiff and then set aside.
Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in another bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in the amaretto and
mascarpone. Gradually fold in about half of the egg whites, then fold in the rest and stir to combine.
Pour half of the mascarpone cream over the biscuits in the dish. Place another layer of
coffee-dipped biscuits on top, and cover with the rest of the lovely cream. Cover with plastic wrap
and place the tiramisu in the fridge for a couple of hours. Just before serving, dust the tiramisu with a generous layer of sifted cocoa.

The best ever management production team for cricket games, empire, make a great game for all cricket lovers. In my opinion the best cricket game ever made. get ure copy now!!
well, wat can i say. I'm perfect!
ICC2 was the best of the series I reckon.
Moderators - firstname.lastname@example.com (will go to all moderators)
Email/Hangouts - email@example.com
do u have ICC2001??
why do u think it is betta?
No I don't have ICC2001 but I've played the demo and didn't like it much. I find the interface in ICC2000 and ICC2001 terriable and I can't move around in it easy enough.
Besides you can do everything in ICC2 except internet play .
who here has ICC2001, i would love to have a game online with u sometime. Email me or leave a message on this topic and i will see u there, remember to leave a time
I have it, but am not very good. I tend to play on easy as I don't like losing!
marc71178 - President and founding member of AAAS - we don't only appreciate when he does well, but also when he's not quite so good!
Anyone want to join the Society?
Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
nononono, don't do that, its a waste of time. On ICC2001 it may take a while to get ure first win, but after a few seasons ure players start to get really good, plus easy is far to easy and normal is a raelly good challenge. Start a season on normal and enjoy
Cybersmurf - I'm not playing online any further until my team is more competitive. A 1 win, 14 loss record with the first season Middlesex squad has shown me the importance of following the manual's advice!
lol, at two things. One a 1 win 14 loss record!!!, well, lokk whos talking, i would prob do worse. Two, u must really like a challenge if u chose Middlesex!!!
ICC2 was great game, and the improvement from ICC to ICC2 was probably the biggest improvement between any games in the series.
However, there was one terrible statistical bug. Have you noticed that in matches that are simulated, the wicketkeepers never take catches?
With the editor, ICC2 beats ICC2000. I haven't played ICC2001, but I imagine it would be the same as ICC2000.
Also, I can't play international mode in ICC2000 because NZ wears turquoise! The editor in ICC2 means you can make them play in their rightful colour, BLACK!
[Edited on 11/12/01 by Rich]
I can understand the reason for there not being an editor for ICC 2000 and 2001 with the online play, but I wish they could sort something out so that the files get some sort of "tag" which stops them from being used online in competitive play (friendlies should be OK)
I mean, when you consider the errors in the data, we should be able to play with proper starting teams!
I play online alot with ICC 2001, this is byfar the best feature in any of the games. I have 3 teams Middlesex, Surrey and Somerset. I'll give you a game sometime get me on msn messenger email@example.com or leave a time and date hear and I'll take you on.
graham when can expect to see you online playing with underdogs????????? :rolleyes:
"Matt Damon"
Very soon. Next season the Middlesex squad will consist purely of original players I've re-signed and the newbies that I've signed.
If u play and miss the ball is that a lucky or unlucky thing?

IVAO division is not established
No SO events have been organised. You may check archive data for SO events organised before 01 December 2018.
For enquiries regarding SO in Comoros please
contact us at HQ–SOD
Discuss SO in this country onHQ–SOD forum
Current Specialised Traffic flights [ ? ]
**by country's aerodromes**
Recent Specialised Traffic flights totals [ ? ]
Last 48 hours: 0
Normally these are the current SPT (Specialised Traffic) flights that are operating on the IVAO network as of this time within the Flight Information Region(s) of the concerned country, regardless of the filed points of departure and arrival or filed flight plan route.
Many countries do not have a FIR associated with them; for such cases the current SPT flights are determined on the basis of filed points of departure and arrival — aerodromes that are associated with the concerned country.
This data is updated regularly, usually once every several minutes (you do need to refresh the page manually, as it will not update itself once initally loaded). At peak IVAO times update interval may reach 7 – 10 minutes. When for technical reasons this data becomes older than 30 minutes, current SPT flights are not displayed.
Please note that the term SPT (Specialised Traffic) used hereby is different to what the SO Regulations recognise as SO (Special Operations) traffic. Please refer the 3'th FAQ question below for clarification.
These totals are updated every 15 minutes and only include SPT flights that got airborne and with a duration of at least 15 minutes (total session time). When for technical reasons this data becomes older than 1 hour, it is not displayed.
Please note that the term SPT (Specialised Traffic) used hereby is different to what the SO Regulations recognise as SO (Special Operations) traffic. Please refer the 3'th FAQ question below for clarification.
While SO Regulations define Special Operations as "aerial military operations, aerial work, and other aviation flights (activities, operations) that are performed in accordance with rules and procedures other than those that fully comply with ICAO SARPs or other civil rules and procedures", it is not particularly useful to use this precise definition for a number of purposes. In some cases a wider classification is required, the one that includes, for example, military, governmental and other special traffic in general, regardless of the kind rules it follows on a particular flight. The SO term is very specific and only applies to the traffic that performs flights under the rules other than civil rules; it has been defined as such for the purposes of classification and distinction of IVAO flights under the SO Regulations, to delimit the area of responsibility of the HQ–SOD.
Very often the kind of traffic that performs such SO flights also performs flights under ordinary civil rules. For example, military flights very often operate under civil procedures; it would have been not entirely correct to omit such type of traffic from statistics, current (live) flights and so on. Therefore, for a limited number of purposes, where explicitly indicated as such, the term SPT (Specialised Traffic) has been introduced.
SPT flights include the following (regardless the of kind of rules that are being followed): flights operated by military operators, state flights (military, police, and customs), flights operated by governmental and international bodies, ministries, agencies, etc., flights operated on military or special–use aircraft (except retired aircraft first introduced before approximately year 1950), flights of IVAO HQ–SOD registered Special Operations Groups (SOGs), flights of not IVAO HQ–SOD registered special groups (not yet registered, but routinely performing SPT flights), all the flights performing official IVAO SO WT legs, flights performing IVAO divisional SO or SPT–equivalent tours, search and rescue operations, firefighting operations, coast guard operations, medical evacuations, humanitarian operations, construction work flights, external loads operations, human external cargo operations, hoist operations, oil spill work, avalanche mining operations, parachute operations and skydiving, special events flights, including such as flying display and competition flights, agricultural flights, news media flights, air to air filming and air to ground filming, including aerial photography flights, news media flights, television and movie flights, glider towing flights, aerial advertising flights, aerial observation flights, aerial patrol flights, aerial survey flights, animal herding flights, animal rescue flights and veterinary dropping flights, dropping or spraying from an aircraft in flight, scientific research flights, cloud seeding flights, sensational flights, calibration flights, aerial work in general, high risk operations in general, as well as training flights for the above.
The term SPT Flight is only used on this website for displaying current (live) SPT Flights operating on the IVAO network and for recent SPT Flights totals.
While the system and algorithm that identifies SPT flights is reliable, there is always a possibility that a small number of flights are either mis–identified (false positives) or not identified. Therefore, SPT figures should not be seen as absolute and totally precise. Please contact HQ–SOD if you notice possible errors with false positives and missing flights (please include the exact callsign and the date of observation).
Please note that this term does not apply to any part of the SO Regulations. SPT flights are not the same as SO flights; SPT flights include a much wider array of flights.
Only the international Special Operations events are mentioned on this page and on this website in general. Divisional SO events and civil events are not displayed here.

Prolactin is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland in both men
and women. In women, it prepares breasts to produce milk (lactate); in men,
prolactin's function is not well understood.
In a lactating woman, more prolactin is produced when her breasts
are emptied frequently, resulting in more milk production. Less frequent
emptying of the breasts reduces the amount of prolactin produced, which in turn
reduces the milk supply. Above-normal prolactin levels in women can cause
ovulation to stop.
Above-normal levels of prolactin can indicate a problem with the
pituitary gland that may affect reproductive functions.

Peripheral Vascular Disease
Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is the term used to refer to blockages of the arteries to the extremities which reduce nutrient blood flow to the effected areas. It is a common ailment which generally has an increased incidence in older individuals, males, smokers, diabetics, and those people with high cholesterol. While the usual cause is atherosclerotic plaque buildup, there are some less common causes which generally effect younger people.
The most common symptom, occurring in the earliest stages of the disease, is pain or fatigue of the calf muscles brought on by walking a distance, carrying a heavy weight, or climbing stairs. This pain or fatigue, termed claudication, goes away with cessation of the activity and is reproduced by repeating the same activity. The pain or fatigue is caused by the inability of the blocked blood vessels to provide the necessary nutrient blood flow demanded by the exercising leg muscles. With cessation of ambulation blood flow catches up with the demand and the symptoms resolve, usually within 5-10 minutes, allowing return of ambulation for a similar distance before symptoms return.

At this stage, PVD, while not limb-threatening, can certainly severely compromise the performance of a patient's activities of daily living. As most patients will not progress to more severe limb-threatening stages of the disease, any decision to treat blocked arteries causing only claudication should be based on an individual patient's need or desire to ambulate more than their current limitation. However, if the severity of the blockages does worsen, patients are at risk of having inadequate blood flow to meet the demands of even their non-exercising extremities. This can result in gangrene, non-healing sores, or intractable pain in the foot. At this stage the leg is at risk and more aggressive intervention to improve blood flow will be required to save the leg.
Therapeutic options for PVD depend greatly on the location and severity of the blockages. All patients should undergo evaluation and treatment of any contributing conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or any elevation of cholesterol. In particular, cessation of smoking is critical to long-term improvement, regardless of the therapy employed. In the earliest stages, where claudication is the only symptom, a dedicated exercise program, with or without supplemental medications, may be all that is needed to significantly improve walking tolerance. As the effect of the blockages become more severe, however, endovascular procedures such as balloon angioplasty and stenting or surgical procedures such as bypass grafting may be required to restore sufficient nutrient blood flow to the extremity.
The vascular surgeons at SIU are uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat all stages of PVD by all presently available approved therapeutic approaches. Furthermore, the Division of Vascular Surgery at SIU has a long-standing track record of participation in U.S. FDA clinical investigational trials of new devices and therapies, offering our patients cutting-edge options often not available elsewhere in the region. Using both approved and investigational therapies, the SIU Vascular Surgeons are here to manage all aspects of patients' PVD, from initial diagnosis and treatment to wound care and long-term follow-up.

Pot-laced brownies turn up at another CO school
COLORADO SPRINGS – Pot-laced brownies have turned up at another Colorado school. A 14-year-old girl in Colorado Springs was sent to the hospital Wednesday after eating a marijuana brownie at a high school.
The (Colorado Springs) Gazette reports that another student is accused of giving her the brownie. The 14-year-old boy was arrested and released to his parents.
Police tell the newspaper that the girl knew what was in the brownie before she ate it. She has not been arrested.
A school district spokeswoman says the district has not seen a rise in marijuana incidents since approval last month of legalized marijuana for adults over 21.
Last week, two students at the University of Colorado in Boulder were arrested for allegedly giving a professor and other students pot-laced brownies without their knowledge.

UltraBright UV transilluminator
Discussion of all aspects of biological molecules, biochemical processes and laboratory procedures in the field.
Moderators: honeev, Leonid, amiradm, BioTeam

Re: UltraBright UV transilluminator
From the attached EtBr spectrum, it is possible to excite EtBr by VIS light, expecially blue wavelength. Band image relates to contrast. If intensity of blue light is high enough, the contrast of band image can be acceptable. We cannot say ONLY UV can be used for EtBr.
the question is, whether will you get emission in VIS, if will you excite in 500 nm, what I highly doubt about... Nonetheless, the maximum of emission is ~600nm, what makes difference only 100 nm and I don't know, how great would you see the yeallow (green in your case) bands on blue ligth...
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
If you highly doubt about excitation at 500 nm and emission at 600 nm with a filter to cut 500 nm background to see the bands, you can simply check the mechanism of Sybr dyes. The difference between excitation and emission wavelength of SyBrSafe is even smaller. So it is possible for EtBr to excite with storng 500 nm light and observe the emission of 600 nm with an amber filter to cut the 500 nm background.
It is hard to say. From the spectrum of EtBr, it shows the response of 302 nm is approximately 5 times higher than that of 500 nm. For consideration of intensity of lights, UV lamptube is with diverse light but LED is with a more intense and focusing light. It means the convergence of light cone angle is smaller for LEDs. LED's light flux is much higher than UV lamps. It is also hard to measure the luminance with a fair condition. The UV luminance meter is with a sensor compatible for UV and blue light needs the luminance meter with sensor suitable for visible light. So, I think if we want to judge the feasibility of 500 nm, just consider the contrast of bands and sensitivity of DNA gel. If the sensitivity is acceptable, it is not needed to use UV. The diffuculties of current LED transilluminators are, first, their LED intensity is not strong. Second, their amber filter is not optimized to cut the blue background.

Romney heads to D.C.
Mitt Romney may not have attended President Obama's second inauguration on Monday but he's returning to Washington on Friday.
The former GOP presidential candidate will attend a luncheon in his honor at the J.W. Marriott, according to the National Journal.
Story Continued Below
The event is being hosted by two big Romney campaign fundraisers, Virginia philanthropist Catherine Reynolds and Bill Marriott Jr. Romney, who removed himself from Marriott's board to run for president, rejoined it in November.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama, Romney have chili summit in November)
Romney has kept a low profile since Election Day: he returned to D.C. for lunch with Obama but otherwise has spent most of his time in La Jolla, Calif., where he has a home. Former aides have said he spent Inauguration Day in La Jolla.

Hoya to Liquidate Pentax Factory in Shanghai China
Hoya Corporation made an announcement on Monday that they will close down and disband their digital camera manufacturing unit in Shanghai as part of efforts to streamline operations, which has just been told recently in their recent financial report for the first quarter of the current financial year, see the Dow Jones Newswires report below:-
The to-be-closed down Pentax unit supplies parts to Pentax plants in Philippines and Vietnam, which make Pentax digital SLR bodies and lenses respectively.
Although it is expected that Hoya will close down those "non-profitable" Pentax units as told, they really act very fast to do what they have just told! What an efficient company!
Besides, other Japanese financial news agents online also report this piece of news, see:-
1. http://www.lnews.jp/2008/08/28866.html (in Japanese)
The quick factsheet for the Pentax business unit to be liquidated is translated as follows:
Unit Name: PENTAX(Shanghai)Corporation
Location: Shanghai, China
Head of Unit: Torigoe Oco. (鳥越興)
Business Scope: Manufacturing of medical instrument and optical equipment/parts
Established: March 25, 2003
Invested Capital: 3 Billion Japanese Yens (300,000,000 JPY, or about US$ 2.73M)
Net Asset Value: 10,858,000 RMB (US$ 1.606M), as at end-March 2008
Total Asset Value: 12,731,000 RMB (US$ 1.883M), as at end-March 2008
Account Settlement: December
Owned by: HOYA, 100%
Well, it can be seen in the above that the factory is still quite new and very probably the investment has not been paid back yet as its net asset value (excluding liability) is now only 58.8% of the initial investment cost (the face value dropped by 41.2%, or simply US$ 1.124M has been lost).
2. http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/NEWS/20080825/156853/?ST=observer (in Japanese)
Translated and quoted:-
"The subsidiary company of Hoya, Pentax (Shanghai) Corp. in China, which manages the manufacturing of optical parts and the lenses, will be liquidated and closed down in March 2009. The company was established by Pentax in 2003, for the production of camera and optical parts. The initial production scale was set at 20,000 units per month, but profit has not been reached. The production changed to include the production of parts for digital cameras since approximately 2 years ago.
HOYA had explained in the August 2008 financial results meeting that they were reviewing the production facilities related to the digital camera business where the profits are unable to be met. In the future, they will continue to "rearrange" the production facilities at the Japanese home and to "re-group" and "re-gather" most of the digital camera production at the two plants in the Philippines and Vietnam."
So, after all these reports and happenings, I could only see one message and the attitude taken by Hoya, which is very clear: "Any business units which are not profitable will be executed!". But then there is one big question left and actually there exists a serious contradiction in their philosophy there: The whole Pentax camera business division is actually not profitable by now, thus neither the Philippines nor the Vietnam factories are profitable, very obviously, WHY not close them all together if they just follow the (only) reason they given and told??
To explain, the only answer is that Hoya are *still* interested in the camera business. However, with their shortsighted-ness and mean-ness shown and reluctance to invest and there is actually no commitment and determination of any kind for the camera business and the brand Pentax, I don't think they will ever succeed, or, just survive, for Pentax.
In fact, Hoya should do more to boost sales, but NOT *just* know (how) to cut costs. The key elements to succeed should include smart product ideas, up-to-date R&D and product features and system performance, competitive and comprehensive product lineup, which I think Pentax have none of these by now (Whilst Canon, Nikon, Olympus and Sony all have all or some!) But of course, to have better R&D and a more comprehensive lineup, Hoya needed to INVEST, FIRST! But sadly up till now, they do the reverse, which is the most disappointed thing afterall! Really really sad.. :-(( However, smart and unique product ideas are actually not much costly, but yet, where are those?? Can you see them in their latest digital products??
Now that the Photokina is coming close, Canon already have announced their 50D and Nikon have their D90 (and just earlier the EOS 1000D and the D700 Full Frame have both been marketed too), what Pentax (actually Hoya) are going to offer? Are they really just sitting there and wait to die?

Senate battle hits Big Sky country
GREAT FALLS, Mont. — Rep. Denny Rehberg sports black cowboy boots and drives a Jeep Wrangler with "RNCHR MT" on his license plates. Sen. Jon Tester — a farmer himself — thinks Rehberg's putting on an act.
"He's a land developer," Tester says dismissively. "Why are you trying to be something that you're not?"
Story Continued Below
But Rehberg has a question of his own: "What percentage of the time does Jon Tester vote with Barack Obama?"
"95 percent!" the Republican's supporters shouted back at a campaign event here.
As these two candidates crisscross the Big Sky State in the final month of a bitterly contested race that could decide the Senate majority, this is the essential question facing voters: Is Tester too much like Obama, or is Rehberg not a real Montanan?
The tactics employed in Montana are not unique to this sparsely populated state — a similar dynamic that pits likability versus ideology is playing out across the land. Sen. Scott Brown in Democratic-leaning Massachusetts is trying to project a "regular-guy" persona as Elizabeth Warren tries to tie him to the conservative elements of his party. Heidi Heitkamp, the Democratic candidate in North Dakota, is hoping her personal charm will woo voters in a state certain to go big for Mitt Romney.
"There's a pattern there," said Brad Coker, a Mason-Dixon pollster who found Rehberg last month with a 3-point lead but within the margin of error. "If your voting record is a little out of sync with the voters, sell yourself and try to, as much as you can, downplay some of the positions that are not popular."
Both sides in the Montana race concede that the race is virtually deadlocked ahead of three crucial debates, including one with a libertarian candidate whose ultimate influence on the race remains uncertain.
"We're in the middle of a war right now," Tester said.
As he faces GOP attacks on his voting record, Tester is furiously trying to distinguish himself as an everyman who still farms wheat and barley on the land his grandparents inhabited nearly 100 years ago in the tiny town of Big Sandy, Mont. He sports the same flat-top haircut he's had since he was a teenager; and the two fingers remaining on his left hand are a stark reminder of a meat-grinder accident he suffered when he was 9 years old.
Instead of touting himself as a first-term Democratic senator, the 56-year-old's campaign refers to him as "Montana farmer Jon Tester." Rather than calling Rehberg by his nickname "Denny," his campaign refers to Rehberg by his full name, "Dennis."
And Tester believes that no way can Rehberg consider himself a rancher since he hasn't owned any cattle in 12 years, a charge rejected by the Republican congressman — who views the attacks as nothing but distractions from the senator's record in Washington.
"I'm talking about his issues," Rehberg told POLITICO. "I'm talking about his failed stimulus; I'm talking about 'Obamacare'; I'm talking about him supporting the president 95 percent of the time."

Hopefully one of those people is a GM who is willing to give up a ton for him.
I like Letang. I dont "WANT" to trade him. But if he is going to command an ungodly amount of money from the team then you move him and pull off a trade that potentially sets you up for years to come by adding 3 or 4 pieces to the lineup in exchange for 1 defenseman.

However, by Wednesday a series of negative news stories emerge from the UK and affect the country's economic performance. These dynamics then adversely affects how well the two currencies are trading. At this point it's important to know what's just happened because it will influence whether or not someone should cease trading this currency pair for a while or continue.
