The largest automobile museum in North America opens in Tacoma, Washington, next Friday
“It’s the most extraordinary collection I’ve ever seen. It’s the most comprehensive anthology of vehicles in this country. The Harold LeMay collection is a gem in the crown of American automotive history and has the potential to become the most complete and exciting automotive history experience in the world.” Molly Carsten, Curator, Museum of Transportation, St. Louis, MO
| Car buffs: start your engines to get the first peek at the bevy of beauties lined up inside LeMay: America’s Car Museum (ACM), opening June 1-3. The LeMay collection, which amassed a Guinness Book record of more than 3,500 vehicles in the mid-1990s, has honed its collection down to a gleaming core of several hundred for its grand opening exhibition in the 165,000-square-foot museum facility next to the Tacoma Dome.

I was scrolling the Internet today when I learned that Teddy Kennedy has a brain tumor. It triggered a wave of physical regret and disbelief intense enough I could feel it in my arms.
The reaction startled me. This was beyond typical grief for a famous person | , but I think it goes back to a simple truth: However you feel politically about the Kennedys, they have endured sorrow outside the normal scope of understanding, and it is difficult to imagine them saddled with more.

Spoiler alert! The last episodes of Project Runway gave a glimpse into the real lives of the finalists. Tim pays visits to their hometowns, where they've been working on their final collections for a month. Learning the roots of the designers is cool; seeing their work spaces, their surroundings, their family, their friends. And Tim really shines as their mentor. Aw.
The challenge was to create a wedding dress — oh, and a last-minute bridesmaid dress — and the results were eye opening. It really showed who had a vision. I was a bit disappointed in Korto's — does any woman want | to wear beige on her wedding day? — and was blown away by Leanne's. Kenley got the quick insult of her dress resembling Alexander McQueen's Fall collection (it's so true). And Jerell's adorned gown missed the mark. It's crunch time people. Do you agree with the final three? Or did someone prematurely get auf'd?

VIENNA, Va. (WUSA) -- Each Veterans' Day leaves us fewer World War IIheroes to tell the amazing stories of the greatest generation.

Announcing New Partnerships
Since September 2008, over 300 children (18 and under) and over 600 youth (under age 26) have been killed by violence. In response to this crisis and to prevent future violence, we are suspending Urban Dolorosa to focus our energies on two new partnerships. Please Join Us!
It is the mission of Chicago’s Citizens for Change (CCC) to strengthen communities and reduce youth violence through outreach to the surviving family members and loved ones of homicide victims. CCC will facilitate the resiliency of families and youth through trained crisis teams, a telephone hotline, a web-based guide to Chicago-area services, and peer support opportunities for parents and youth siblings to become involved in restorative peace-making and anti-violence work. Stay tuned for ways to contribute and volunteer.
CROSSwalk began as an ecumenical pilgrimage for peace – a march during Holy Week from St. James Cathedral, to Daley Plaza, to Old St Patrick’s Church, and concluding at Stroger Cook County Hospital. CROSSwalk is committed to organize churches and volunteers to raise awareness about youth violence, to support community-based peace-making efforts, | and to advocate for change until all children are safe.
Urban Dolorosa means “The Sorrowing City.” We seek to raise awareness about the epidemic of youth violence in our city and to | [

As Marion Jones

Indianapolis last Friday evening, an interested spectator watched from the
stands. "Need to see how she looks," said Maurice Greene, who, like
Jones, won a gold medal in the 100 at the 2000 Olympics. Never known for having
great starts, Jones exploded off the blocks. "Woo, did you see that
start?" said Greene. "Nothing's stopping her."
Nothing did. Jones
led by a half-stride at 60 meters, then held off Torri Edwards, the 2003 world
champ, and Lauryn Williams, the '05 world champ. In the day's third
sprint--rain had canceled Thursday's heats-- Jones crossed the line in 11.10
seconds and calmly raised her hand at the finish. Williams and Edwards were

Battlefield 3 is one of the top titles of 2011 and a serious opponent to Activision’s Call of Duty series. Where the CoD series started back in the days with frantic singleplayer added with great multiplay, the Battlefield series has traditionally focused on multiplay. Now that DICE’s shooter has added singleplayer and co-op the battle against Activision’s shooter is full-on. Let’s see what DICE have cooked up.
If you’ve only looked at the score and are starting to shoot me down already because there isn’t a big +90% score, beware that we tend to judge a product as a whole, and not on parts.
The singleplayer campaign starts off with you jumping on a train, going from one quick-time event to the next until you suddenly find yourself in a room, being interrogated by a couple of operatives who clearly don’t have the idea you’re a good guy. Through means of flashbacks you go from one action scene to the next, all nicely scripted and | with AI partners that tell you exactly what to do. And that’s where things really fail when it comes to singleplayer.

Storied british rock band The Rolling Stones announced a new band doc, Crossfire Hurricane, earlier today. The tour doc, commemorating the 50th anniversary of The Stones as a performing unit, marks another authorized entry into the already deep documentary videography that The Stones have amassed over the years. Classic rock nerds will also note that the film pulls its title from a lyric in “Jumpin Jack Flash.”
Crossfire Hurricane appears to be pretty broad in focus, covering the trajectory of the group from their earliest touring days in 1962 to the band as we know them as today.
| The real selling point of the doc is probably going to be the access. According to the press release for the film, Crossfire Hurricane will be the, “backstage pass to outdo them all.” The film promises rare and never-before-seen footage from famed and infamous gigs at Altamont, Hyde Park, and others along with band interviews regarding their rock and roll lifestyles. | [

With the stock market on a roller coaster last week, Sen. Barack Obama decided it was a good time to take a shot at Sen. John McCain on Social Security. McCain has, in the past, supported plans that would allow workers, if they want, to have a portion of their Social Security put into personal retirement accounts that allow investment in the stock market.

Distance: 3.2 miles round trip
With easy access, spectacular scenery, and a fairly safe route, Lanham Lake is a popular snowshoe destination. The route is pretty straightforward and not too long—but you do climb more than 1,000 vertical feet, so expect a good workout. The small lake is cradled in a quiet valley surrounded by big trees and steep slopes. You’ll feel like you’re a lot farther and deeper in the wilderness than you are.
Starting from the base of the Stevens Pass Nordic Ski Center, enter thick forest and commence climbing beside Lanham Creek. During a heavy snowpack, you'll be hard-pressed to see any trace of the creek. Emerge from beneath the dense forest canopy to cross ski trails* and a set of high power lines. Then re-enter the woods, transitioning from a uniform stand of young trees to impressive old growth.
The climb is pretty steady, but you will get some short reprieves. The valley grows | tighter as you approach the lake. Be sure to veer well away from avalanche slopes to your east while cresting the lake basin. Then wander around the frozen basin, staring at the impressive 6,765-foot Jim Hill Mountain.

Paris in the 1890s was the centre of the modern world. In 1889 the city had staged the Exposition universelle, a world’s fair organised to commemorate the centenary of the French Revolution and to boost the national economy and culture — to mark the event, engineer Gustave Eiffel built his 300-metre tower.
Early work, the Nabis
A number of still lifes, portraits, domestic interiors and street scenes from the 1890s reveal Bonnard’s early talent as a painter who translated his observations of the life around him into highly subjective compositions. Eager to capture striking phenomena for his art, his eyes were continuously moving, literally hunting for new images, transposing into his work the vibrant, irregular rhythm and cultural momentum of Paris.
Bonnard, who had begun to study | law in 1887, also attended art classes at the Académie Julian in Paris. With a number of other young art students, he was co-founder of a group called the Nabis (from the Hebrew word for prophets), who sought to foster a new aesthetic — a poetic transposition of form and colour. They particularly admired Paul Gauguin’s expressive use of colour. The Nabis included Paul Sérusier, Ker-Xavier Roussel, Edouard Vuillard, Maurice Denis, Aristide Maillol and Félix Vallotton.

A bill requiring a prescription to purchase anything containing psuedoephedrine will likely not advance beyond a Monday committee hearing, Sen. Josh Green says.
Green, a Kona Democrat, introduced SB 639, in part, to “light a fire” under the state Department of Health to keep moving on a program that tracks the purchase of cold medicines containing psuedoephedrine, a key ingredient for making illegal methamphetamine. The tracking program, passed into law by legislators last year, finally began in January, Green said.
“I’m continuing to keep my attention on any way to decrease methamphetamine in the state,” Green added. “At the moment, I’m satisfied (the tracking | program is) helping us manage the problem.”
He said he expects he will defer the bill, which drew criticism from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, the Hawaii Food Industry Association and Legislative Information Services of Hawaii.
“Consider this: Both HMSA and Kaiser now have a $20 copay for a doctor visit,” wrote Richard Botti, president of Legislative Information Services of Hawaii, which represents 1,500 people in a group health plan. “Add another $10 in gasoline costs to get to the doctor.

MADRID — Most of my day was spent waiting hours for the arrival of the pope. I was told that some pilgrims arrived at Plaza de Cibeles for the pope’s entrance over 8 hours before he was expected!
If there is one thing I have learned at WYD thus far, it is to practice the virtue of patience.
The anticipation was palpable all through the day at Cibeles, and to pass the time people were playing cards, taking naps, doing the Macarena, throwing beach balls and doing the wave. I had to remind myself I was at WYD, not a college football game!
The long awaited moment finally came, and the party | -like atmosphere faded into solemnity as Pope Benedict took the microphone to address the pilgrims. After greeting everyone in 6 languages, there was Gospel reading and then the pope spoke about the reading in Spanish.

The performer bounds onto the stage, and even before the applause has died down he's standing in front of the microphone, riffing freely.
As his solo takes flight, he picks up the tempo, his thoughts rushing out in a torrent. Quickly, he develops particular themes, discards others, venturing far afield before eventually circling back to where he started.

Glaucoma - Health Information
What is glaucoma
Glaucoma is a condition affecting the eye, where pressure of fluid inside the eye increases above the normal level and affects vision. The progression of the disease may lead to destruction of the nerve fibre and impaired vision in later life.
How does it occur
The eye is approximately the size of a ping-pong ball and its walls are composed of several layers of muscles. The innermost layer of this wall is called the retina and is light sensitive, being responsible for detecting light rays and sending them to the brain via the optic nerve which transmits the light in the form of electric impulses. This helps to establish vision.
Inside the eyeball is a lens suspended by muscles near the front of the eye and this focuses incoming light rays from outside onto the retina. | In front of the lens is the iris which, by alteration of its diameter, controls the amount of light entering the eye.
The eyeball is filled with jelly like fluid which fills the inside of the eyeball and gives the eye its shape and tension. The fluid between the lens and the front of the eye is known as aqueous humour and fills the area | [

I'm a fan of cuddles. I sometimes worry that there's something possessive or emotionally needy or demanding about asking a boy for too much cuddling, but mostly I just think it feels good. Boys are warm and firm and their willingness to touch me constitutes a kind of quiet acceptance that I don't get enough of.
Okay, so I'm a little needy. I don't spend the whole time asking "but do you really think I'm pretty?" or anything horrible like that. Mostly it's either unrelated little things from our lives or it's silent nuzzling.
I can't fall asleep cuddling. It makes me very sleepy and comfortable, but when I get to the point of actually sleeping I've always got some part of my body squished or bent back or too warm, and I have to roll over into a | little Island of Solitude to get any sleep.
Cuddling with Brandon is great, but cuddling with Jon is wonderful because he's so damn big. (Tall and wide; not super fat, just large in a big square doorway-filling way. Trucker-shaped.) I can just sink into him. He puts his arms around me and I'm enveloped. I can disappear inside him. | [

Really loved Jen’s visual artefact but I felt that there was something not quite right about the ‘cabinet of curiosities’ metaphor.

Multiple rally championship-winning team Kronos Racing is to return to circuit racing to run a Lola-Aston Martin LMP1 car in Le Mans events this year.
Kronos took Sebastien Loeb to the 2006 World Rally Championship title during the works Citroen team's hiatus, and has subsequently been Peugeot's top squad in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge, winning the 2008 and 2009 titles with Nicolas Vouilloz and Kris Meeke.
Before focusing on rallying, Kronos' projects included Peugeot's Belgian touring car program, and the team won the Spa 24 Hours in 1999 and 2000 when it was run as a sedan event.

The richly decorated fibula, wrought in silver, is an exceptional example of a relatively rare type of brooch typical of those made in the Roman border province of Pannonia, on the Danube. These objects are called "wing fibulae" because of the winglike extensions that flank the knob at the bend of the bow. On this work, the knob is decorated with a zigzag pattern, and the two wings are adorned with two small knobs. A punchwork design extends from the knob along the length of the bow. As is typical of the few other surviving examples of this quality, the large, trapezoidal catch plate is covered with gold foil, except where it is pierced with elaborate patterns.

The West Laurel Civic Association fall general meeting is Thursday, Oct. 18, at 7:30 p.m., at the West Laurel Community Building. By now, all residents should have received the Fall Hotline, which is full of hot topics that affect our community. President of the WLCA, Melissa Daston, covers many issues in the Hotline and will address them at the community meeting. Such topics include a crime report, use and rental of the West Laurel Community Building and park areas, zoning and development updates at Tommy's Shell Station, churches near Route 198 and Burtonsville Crossing redevelopment. There is much ado concerning the Intercounty Connector. Surveying has begun at Brooklyn Bridge Road to the Route 198 exit ramp. Melissa Daston expresses her appropriate anger that in a time of fiscal constraint, the State of Maryland uses taxpayer money to support unwanted and unnecessary roadway under the illusion of the ICC. It's a complicated matter but we | all need to get involved. Read your Hotline and come to the meeting. Without the dedicated WLCA Board and many more civic-minded volunteers, these issues would probably never come to light until it was too late to do anything about them. They are the guardians of our community but they always need our support. We thank our civic association most sincerely for all of their hard work, absolute dedication and many hours of unpaid service to West | [

This post is not about influence; what it is or who influences who. That topic has been discussed by people with far more knowledge than I have on the subject. Instead I want to show the distinction between advocate and influencer and the importance of building a customer advocacy program alongside your influencer program. The two aren’t interchangeable and an influencer program doesn’t replace the need for a customer advocacy program simply by reaching out to the folks with clout. The truth is your brand advocates or ambassadors aren’t necessarily influencers (in the traditional sense of fans/followers and klout score), and an influencer is not necessarily an advocate of your brand. Having a program to reach out to your influencers and one to empower and connect with your advocates are both equally important.
Companies often build out in-depth “influencer programs” with lists of people who are thought leaders in their industry. Influencers may have hundreds or thousands of fans on twitter, a high profile blog, or they speak at conferences due to their leadership in | a given area. Often these programs divide their lists by context and audience, helping them to determine who to pitch what new product, service or events.
If a pitch receives the outcome the brand is looking for (a mention on a blog post, or a tweet as an example) it can help drive conversation, and build awareness. However, the pitch can be challenging.
These influencers are not necessarily fans of the brand, and in many cases they may be indifferent or detractors rather than advocates. And, if | [

THE POPE’S IMPRIMATUR FOR LIES AND COVER-UPS
When the Bishop of Clonfert John Kirby failed to tell the truth about sex abuse cover-ups, he did so with the benediction of Pope Benedict...
Eamonn McCann, 24 Oct 2012
I suspect that the most common reaction to the story, in the Irish Times on October 8, was a sigh | of weariness rather than a shout of anger. Nothing new to see here. Apart from the role of the Pope.
Religious Affairs correspondent Patsy McGarry reported that Kirby had not told the whole truth: he’d acknowledged knowing of two priest abusers in his diocese when, in fact, he’d known of four.
Kirby confessed that he’d shifted the two abusers, whom he’d admitted being aware of, to new parishes, but insisted there was no evidence either had continued to abuse. But according to McGarry, on the contrary | [

This has been possible pre-5.1. Same is true of Burrow.
Seems if the pets are at the same altitude, their "unattackableness" goes away, which makes sense if you think about it. They only reason they are unattackable is that they are too high (or too low), and if both pets are "too high", then they can definitely hit each other.
That said, I've noticed an abnormal amount of misses myself, and many misses that don't even say they miss, just the animation going off, but no floating text.

Can You Hear Their Voices?
nytheatre.com review by Martin Denton
June 5, 2010
An economy in disarray due, largely, to the excesses of greedy unregulated speculators. Hundreds of thousands thrown out of work due to disastrous events that have devastated their native ecosystem. Gaping disparities between an unemployed underclass and a small, disproportionately wealthy upper class.
Is it 1931 or is it 2010?
Can You Hear Their Voices?, written nearly 80 years by Hallie Flanagan and Margaret Ellen Clifford (from a story by Whittaker Chambers), is about all the things I mentioned in my first paragraph, events that threatened to turn the United States on its ear at the height of the Great Depression. It tells two parallel stories: one of a group of Arkansas farmers who | —their land, crops, and livestock destroyed by drought—gradually turn to thoughts of communist revolution to wrest their livelihoods from a local banker who has foreclosed on their homes; the other about a young woman, daughter of a | [

An anonymous player within the Lions locker room believes the team is 4-8 because "a couple guys don't know how to win."
If the problem was truly just with a couple players who haven't figured out how to win, like this anonymous player believes, that seems like a pretty easy fix this offseason. Unfortunately, it's not that simple.

"Yeah, we're loaded," the player told Cole. "But we have a couple of guys who don't understand what it takes to win. Just making a couple of plays and thinking that makes you great... sometimes you want to just shake some of these guys and say, 'Don't you get it?'"

Title 18 United States Code - Section 1028 Fraud and Related Activity in Connection with Identification Documents and Information.
The Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act of 1998 which became effective October 30, 1998, makes identity theft a Federal crime with penalties up to 15 years imprisonment and a maximum fine of $250,000. It establishes that the person whose identity was stolen is a true victim. Previously, only the credit grantors who suffered monetary losses were considered victims. This legislation enables the Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other law enforcement agencies to combat this crime. It allows for the identity theft victim to seek restitution if there is a conviction. It also establishes the Federal Trade Commission as a central agency to act | as a clearinghouse for complaints, (against credit reporting agencies and credit grantors) referrals, and resources for assistance for victims of identity theft.

Individualistic. A free spirit. Untraditional. In junior high those labels are a death sentence. In adulthood, they usually describe people the rest of us wish we could be – creative, intriguing people like Audrey Assad. Truly one-of-a-kind, this intensely honest singer-songwriter is carving out her own unique path in the music industry and opening hearts to God along the way.
Audrey stood out even when everyone else was trying desperately to blend in. “Middle school was horrendous for me because I loved to study, loved school and loved band,” she recalls, adding, “and kids don’t let you get away with that at all.” It didn’t help that one of the instruments she played was the xylophone.
Then, following high school graduation, Audrey left the suburbs outside New York City and relocated with her parents to Florida. There, amid the sun and sand that lures so many young adults into a life of nightclubs and partying, the longtime Christian took her spiritual life to the next level.
“I was 19 when I started to fully understand the idea of surrendering my life -- not just as a concept, but the daily hopes and dreams | and disappointments -- and giving that away to God,” she says. “That’s when I first started to realize He had gifted me with music.”
Shortly after that spiritual epiphany, Audrey set aside the notion of pursuing an English degree or studying fashion design and began leading worship in the foyer of a church she didn’t even attend. Standing by her lifelong conviction to “b | [

Indiana defeats Gators to win weekend series
Published: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 4:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 4:33 p.m.
For the second time in three days, visiting Indiana combined a solid effort from a left-handed starter with a double-digit hitting attack to down Florida as the Hoosiers claimed the weekend series from the Gators with a 7-4 win Sunday.
No. 5 Florida State at Florida
When: Tuesday, 7 p.m.
Where: McKethan Stadium
Radio: 103.7 FM
With the win before a McKethan Stadium crowd of 3,403, the Hoosiers, preseason favorites to win the Big Ten, improved to 8-3 while a young UF squad (8-9) slipped back below the.500 mark.
“This was a series that we identified at the beginning of the season as important for us because we think we've got a pretty good baseball team and we knew Florida has a good baseball team,” said Indiana head coach Tracy Smith. “They're going to be fine.

Stocks are off to a great start here in the U.S., but Asia's markets are tearing up the script to start the new year. Japan's markets have surged in particular, buoyed by stimulus measures from the new Japanese government that have pushed down a strong yen as exports struggle.

MOBILE, Alabama – At the BankTrust First Light Marathon this Sunday, members of the L’Arche community will hand out homemade medallions to runners as they cross the finish line.

People who are familiar with L’Arche may recognize the faces | of the residents, who are called “core members.” But behind these residents are a lesser known team of employees who cheer them on every day.
We interviewed four L’Arche caregivers who agree that their work with disabled adults means much more to them than a paycheck. For them, working at L’Arche is a calling.

Didier and Akers get their shot at Rossi
Posted by Jim Brunner
Note: Post updated at 7:10 p.m. with additional excepts from the ed board interview
Republican U.S. Senate candidates Paul Akers and Clint Didier finally got a debate of sorts with GOP front-runner Dino Rossi.
The three sat side-by-side Wednesday morning for an interview with the Seattle Times editorial board. It was their first and perhaps only side-by-side appearance before the Aug. 17 primary.
(The ed board runs the opinion pages of the Times and is separate from the news department. | However, news reporters are frequently allowed to sit in on candidate interviews.)
Akers is a Bellingham businessman and inventor who touts his "problem solver" credentials. Didier is a former NFL tight end and Pasco farmer running as a conservative tea party favorite.
Both men are considered underdogs to Rossi, the former state senator and two-time gubernatorial candidate who was recruited by national GOP leaders who believe he has the best chance at unseating incumbent Democratic Sen. Patty Murray.

Parents, bus drivers and Broward School Board members became increasingly agitated Thursday as children waited a fourth day for school buses that failed to show.
School District spokeswoman Tracy Clark said district officials are working to resolve the problems, including hiring additional drivers and making changes to routes. She wouldn’t give a specific time for when the issue might be resolved.
“We’re continuing to investigate, and people will see incremental improvements,” she said. “We’re really looking to having things operating as soon as we can.”
School Board members say a resolution can’t come soon enough for them, as they continue to receive calls from angry parents.
“I have expressed my disappointment to the superintendent,” School Board member Laurie Rich Levinson said. “I have told him this has to be corrected.”
Board member Robin Bartleman said she has asked Superintendent Robert Runcie for a written report on what went wrong, although she wants him to first focus on getting all buses running properly.
District officials | say a variety of issues have caused numerous buses to fail to show up in a timely manner, including an overhaul to the bus routing, a glitch in the routing software, a larger than expected number of riders and longer school hours for some low-performing schools.
Shan Brown, whose son attends Millennium Middle School in Tamarac, said the bus showed up an hour late twice this week and never arrived Thursday morning.

Umniah launches ‘green’ initiative
Amman, June 12, 2010
Umniah, a leading telecom service provider in Jordan, has launched an environmental initiative as part of its interests towards preserving natural resources and the Kingdom.
The launch of Umniah Green Initiative, still in its early stages, coincides with the World Environment Day and will focus on four main environmental fronts reducing water, energy, paper and plastic consumption.
Towards this end, Umniah adopted a number of practices including a reduction in the pressure of water pipes accords the company’s buildings | and main offices in order to save water.
The company also launched an awareness campaign with tips and practices related to water conservation. During the latter stages of this initiative, Umniah will also be installing water saving devices in all of its water outlets, it said in a statement.

When it passed in September 2010, the Small Business Jobs Act set aside a $30 billion fund designed for smaller banks (those with less than $10 billion in assets) to lend to small business owners.
Almost one year later, not one single dollar has been dispersed by the Treasury Department, and only about one third of the total funds available to the banks has been requested.
"We have begun notifying banks that have been approved for the program, and expect to begin providing capital very soon," Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner | told the House Small Business Committee in June.
Participation by community banks and other small lenders has been mild at best. The Treasury received 869 applications seeking about $11.6 billion in total. There were more than 7,500 financial institutions that were eligible.
So why is the Small Business Lending Fund a failure?

In case you can’t remember, before any authority gave its go-ahead on the Google-Motorola merger, Mountain View's officials were suspiciously quick to step up and announce that Google will treat Motorola much like a separate entity. At the time of the aforementioned announcement, many people believed that Google is honestly engaged in respecting that commitment, but there were also voices that pointed out that this is exactly the announcement Google had to make in order to ensure a worldwide approval of the merger.
As it stands, Google’s acquisition of Motorola is pretty much a done deal, despite the fact that China's approval is still pending. So who’s to say Google won’t start favorizing their in-house manufacturer as soon as the next quarter? Apparently | , nobody, as an industry insider recently told Business Insider that several Android manufacturers felt insulted by Google’s decision to buy their own manufacturer.

The unnamed insider went on to confirm previous rumors on the subject by claiming that an increasing number of manufacturers plan to start releasing devices running forked (modified) versions of Android as soon as the end of this year. But as it turns out, manufacturers are so sick of being unable to distinguish themselves in the Android manufacturer jungle | [

LAZARUS PROJECT, THE: DVD
Ben Garvey (Paul Walker) has plenty for which to be thankful. Now that his parole is over, he is appreciative of his beautiful wife Lisa (Piper Perabo), young daughter Katie (Brooklyn Proulx) and steady paycheck. But then Ben loses his job and joins his ex-con brother Ricky (Shawn Hatosy) in a robbery which goes badly wrong. Facing the death penalty, Ben braces himself for a lethal injection, but regains consciousness to find himself in an alternate reality. There, he is haunted by images of his old life and he begins to question whether his death sentence is really what it seems.
Review by Louise Keller:
This chilling psychological thriller that keeps us hardwired to our seats gives charismatic Paul Walker a fine platform on which to display his considerable talents. An intriguing story that keeps us guessing throughout is nicely maintained as reality and sanity is questioned. Suspenseful and thought provoking, screenwriter John Glenn's directing debut (from a story by Evan Astrowsky) combines hints of religious themes with those of redemption, freewill and scientific experimentation. The | result is an absorbing film where most of the action takes place in our minds.
When we first meet Walker's Ben Garvey, we get a taste of his life. He's a guy who has made mistakes in the past, but he has learned from them, and now that his parole is over, is at last realising what are his priorities. Perhaps the weakest part of the script is the speed with which Ben decides to join his no-good brother Ricky (Shawn Hatosy) in a heist, after he | [

Several regions of the brain (including medial prefrontal cortex, rostral anterior cingulate, posterior cingulate, and precuneus) are known to have high metabolic | activity during rest, which is suppressed during cognitively demanding tasks. With functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), this suppression of activity is observed as “deactivations,” which are thought to be indicative of an interruption of the mental activity that persists during rest. Thus, measuring deactivation provides a means by which rest-associated functional activity can be quantitatively examined. Applying this approach to autism, we found that the autism group failed to demonstrate this deactivation effect. Furthermore, there was a strong correlation between a clinical measure of social impairment and functional activity within | [

Trends in Parasitology, Volume 14, Issue 6, 1 December 1998, Pages 234-240
The Steering Committee on Drugs for Malaria (CHEMAL) of the UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) has identified tubulin as a potential drug target, but one that is not yet `validated'. Several inhibitors of tubulins, the principal proteins of microtubules, are potent inhibitors of the development and multiplication of malarial parasites in culture and in vivo. However, most of these compounds are also inhibitors of mammalian cell proliferation. Here, Angus Bell reviews the structure and properties of microtubules, their roles in Plasmodium cells, and the effects of various microtubule inhibitors on the parasite. He argues that microtubule inhibitors are not equally toxic to all proliferating cells but, by | virtue of differential tubulin binding, show selective toxicity that might allow their use as antimalarial drugs.

A photo of my cat, Belle. My daughter gave me a bouquet of sunflowers for my birthday and I decided to take a photo of them. As I was shooting the idea hit me to add Belle to the still life.

I love a good bun with a bowl of soup.
I’ve been making this bun recipe since the early days of Pete’s celiac diagnosis. It’s fast, easy, and one that Pete and I both love.
The other day Callum and I were grocery shopping and he pointed at some buns and told me he wanted to buy them. The cart almost rolled on over and picked up a package. But nope! I told him we could make them, and make them we did!
He loved them. Thank goodness.
This bun recipe can be made a number of ways – I’ll touch on two ways in this post (see savory and sweet modifications below recipe). I’ve played with it over the years, and it’s pretty foolproof. So try it out and then play with it yourself.
I find they’re not very yummy or flavorful plain, so we always try to dress them up some how. But it’s a fast and easy way to have freshly baked gluten-free buns with a bowl of soup or some pasta. Enjoy!

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- When Matt Cain finally got back to work after five days of congratulations, interviews, Top Ten lists and samurai swords, he discovered perfect games come with a hangover.
He still kept winning with plenty of help from his San Francisco teammates.
Cain followed up his perfect game by persevering through five difficult innings, and Brandon Crawford had an early two-run double among the Giants' 13 hits in a 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night.
Ryan Theriot had three hits and drove in two runs for the Giants, who rewarded Cain (9-2) for his resilience in his first start since throwing the 22nd perfect game in major league history against Houston last | Wednesday.
"It was definitely a grind-it-out day," said Cain, the first Giants starter since 1989 to win eight consecutive starts. "I was having to work. You've still got some energy, probably, from (the perfect game), but I was mostly worrying about making pitches."
