Next review: » Seventh Omen - Polarized
The Raging Fire
Released: 2004, Frontiers Records/Atenzia Records
Reviewer: Anders Sandvall
Some of you will recognize Billy Greer from the famous rock band Kansas. THE RAGING FIRE is Billy’s second solo record, the debut came in -01 under the name SEVENTH KEY. I haven’t heard the debut so I can only say something about this one. Billy teamed up with guitarist Mike Slamer, his old band colleague from the band Streets. Both Slamer and Greer hare credited with writing the 10 songs on the album together. Slamer has also produced, mixed, and mastered this album. He also plays both guitar and keyboards. The production and sound picture is brilliant. This is what melodic hard rock should sound like.
For once I can actually agree with the info provided with the CD that says this is melodic hard rock, I would also like to add that this is melodic hard rock with very nice guitar playing. There are some very sing a long friendly tracks and a ballad here and there as always. ”The Sun Will Rise” is a bit faster melodic hard rock with a lot of guitar and lead vocals on top. ”Always From The Heart” has lead vocals and acoustic guitar in the intro before the rest of the guys play, this is a melodic hard rock track in regular tempo. This song has a very sing a long friendly chorus and a lot of tempo changes throughout the song. ”You Cross The Line” has an instrumental intro with only guitar and keyboard before Billy starts to sing. The first verse has a ballad like start before the tempo rises and it becomes melodic hard rock. Mr. Greer’s voice fits perfectly to this kind of music. ”An Ocean Away” is more melodic hard rock influenced by heavy rock. ”The Raging Fire” is the first actual ballad, a very slow one with Greer on top of the mix and Slamer’s guitar parts sound really nice. ”Winds of War” starts off as a ballad before it turns into a heavy melodic hard rock track. ”Pyramid Princess” and ”Sin City” are two melodic hard rock tracks with Slamer taking up a big part of the sound picture. These songs are very sing a long friendly. ”It Should Have Been You” is a real ballad straight through. Slamer does a stunning guitar solo in the middle of the song. ”Run” is a heavy, guitar based song with a very sing a long friendly chorus, and if you listen carefully to the chorus you’ll find some similarities with the old Bee-Gee’s song “Staying Alive”.
Billy Greer delivers a really strong second album and there’s nothing bad to say about it at all. This is melodic hard rock at its best. All of the songs are really strong but my favorites are ”The Sun Will Rise”, ”An Ocean Away”, ”Sin City” and ”Run”. This album impressed me a lot and it’s recommended to all of you who like really good melodic hard rock.

Retired Army Chief General V K Singh demands Dissolution of the Parliament and immediate elections at an Anna Hazare Rally~ strongly supported by Former Cabinet Secretary TSR Subramaniam and Retired Brigadier V Mahalingam
Enjoyed a lively debate on Times Now on whether it was correct,given his ex Defence Chief Status,by recently Retired Army Chief General V K Singh to demand Dissolution of the Parliament and immediate elections
….just look at the strong supporting words that were voiced by two panelists
TSR Subramaniam,Former Cabinet Secretary ~ ” ….large number of thugs 👿 are running our country…”
Brigadier (Retd) V Mahalingam ~ “Are we as citizens required to suffer 😥 that misgovernance!?”
Brigadier was talking about the fact that an elected Government and Parliament is supposed to last a full five years during which there could be misgovernance and are citizens required to bear this for the full five years before fresh general elections !
We need more like the likes of TSR and Mahalingam to come forth to save our Democracy
Huge Thumbs Up to Both ! and Retd Army Chief General V K Singh too

After receiving almost $100k in donations, Daniel Pierce, who was violently evicted by his parents for being gay, has asked the public to donate instead to a charity instead.
When the video of Pierce being verbally and physically abused by his parents went viral last week, donation began flooding in from well-wishers worldwide.
However, since the teen has amassed more than 90k in donations, he has urged donors to contribute to Lost-n-Found Youth, an Atlanta-based non-profit that helps get LGBT homeless youth off the streets.
Pierce wrote on his Go Fund Me page ‘Please visit the Lost-n-Found Youth website at www.Lost-n-Found.org for more information on how you can make a difference for the many other kids in the world like me’.
Lost-n-Found Youth’s Executive Director Rick Westbrook told Gay Star News that Pierce was an “incredibly bright and courageous young man” and the epitome of who Lost n’ Found is here to serve.”
‘I would say we’re right at $10,000 (thanks to Pierce donations),” he added.

The aWARE project will demonstrate the technical feasibility and assess the economic and environmental viability of different MBR-PAC-NF configurations for wastewater treatment and water reclamation facilities. The proposed innovative hybrid technologies will especially target emerging contaminants removal, which nowadays are only partially eliminated in water treatment and reclamation processes. The MBR/PAC/NF based prototype will be modular so that a high degree of flexibility will be achieved, enabling the testing of various configurations:
- The first configuration will consist of a Membrane Bioreactor with Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes, followed by Nanofiltration Membranes (NF) and enhanced by PAC/GAC addition. In this flowsheet the NF brine will be partially recycled back into the MBR.
- The second configuration consists of an MBR employing hollow fibre NF membranes for the separation of the treated water from the sludge generated and the application of PAC/GAC to the NF permeate.

Canadian-American actress Pamela Anderson is most famous for her modelling work in Playboy magazine. She also played the role of C.J. Parker on the popular television series Baywatch from 1992 to 1997. She has established herself as a s*x symbol in Hollywood.
Pamela is no stranger to controversies as she isn’t shy about doing what she wants, even when it stirs up fierce backlash. She also made headlines for her affairs with Tommy Lee, Rick Salomon, Marcus Schenkenberg, Adil Rami and many others.
Interestingly, Ex-PSG star Adil Rami’s old teammate revealed that Pamela Anderson used to have s*x with him multiple times a day, and the number will shock you. The French defender dated Anderson for two years until their relationship ended in 2019.
The ex-Baywatch star, who had previously turned down Rami’s marriage proposal, later referred to him as a “monster” after the couple’s acrimonious breakup. And as his former teammate Aleksandr Kokorin has since disclosed, it appears Rami was only too eager to divulge information about his relationship with Pamela Anderson.
Kokorin played with Rami at the Russian club Sochi after the former Playboy model had dumped him. As reported by Mirror. UK, Aleksandr Kokorin, in a conversation with Ukrainian footballer Aliyev Oleksandr, said: “Rami told us a lot of interesting things about Pamela Anderson. Of course, everybody was interested in what their relationship was like in bed. Rami said that Pamela was the best woman he’d had in his life. He said that he and Pamela used to have s*x 12 times a night.”
Adil Rami and Anderson went through an acrimonious break-up in 2019. At that time, the latter revealed that he had been involved in more than one relationship simultaneously. The actress took to Instagram and wrote, “The last (more than 2 years) of my life have been a big lie.”

Get Ready for Nelly’s Supergroup
Nelly has teamed up with Akon, T-Pain and Pharrell Williams to form a rap super-group.
“Me, T-Pain, Akon and Pharrell are talking about doing a project,” he told MTV news. “We got a host of things we’re trying to do — possibly put together this new 2009 [Bell Biv DeVoe] type of thing.”
And Nelly isn’t worried about conflicted schedules getting in the way of the collaboration.
He adds, “I don’t think you try to put things together with people you don’t think you can accomplish (them) with. With ‘Kon, with Pain and Pharrell, I know it’s more about the music than anything. It’s about leaving something.
But Williams won’t reveal details. “Those are all my boys. I’m kinda like the only one that adheres to the oath of secrecy. I don’t wanna break that.”
Obviously, no release date for the project has been set — the guys are just in the planning stages.
Meanwhile, Nelly is about to shoot a video for the next single from Brass Knuckles, “One and Only.”

|Towns||Tofield, Viking, Wainwright|
|Villages||Ryley, Holden, Irma|
Alberta Provincial Highway No. 14, commonly referred to as Highway 14, is an east-west highway in central Alberta, Canada. It stretches from Edmonton through Wainwright to the Alberta–Saskatchewan border, running parallel to the more northern Highway 16. Highway 14 is about 257 kilometres (160 mi) long.
Highway 14 begins in south Edmonton as a freeway named Whitemud Drive at the Calgary Trail / Gateway Boulevard interchange, linking to Highway 2. It travels east for 9 km (5.6 mi) along Whitemud Drive through neighbourhoods of southeast Edmonton until reaching the Anthony Henday Drive ring road, with which it is concurrent for 2 km (1.2 mi). Leaving the city, the highway veers east and intersects Highway 21 before the divided highway ends west of South Cooking Lake. It continues east toward Tofield where it bends southeast, paralleling the main line of the Canadian National Railway, and passes through Ryley, Poe, Holden, and Bruce before intersecting Highway 36 (Veterans Memorial Highway) in Viking. The highway continues through the communities of Kinsella, Irma, Fabyan, and Wainwright, crossing Highway 41 (Buffalo Trail). The route then travels due east and intersects Highway 17 to enter Saskatchewan.
Highway 14 historically began in Old Strathcona at the intersection of 104 Street (Calgary Trail) and Whyte (82) Avenue, following Whyte Avenue and 79 Avenue out of Edmonton until it was realigned to the newly constructed Sherwood Park Freeway further in the mid-1960s. Just west of Sherwood Park, at the Highway 14X junction, Highway 14 branched south for 6 km (3.7 mi) along present-day Anthony Henday Drive before it turned east. In the 1980s, Highway 14 was rerouted to follow Whitemud Drive into the city; however it followed 50 Street and Sherwood Park Freeway as at the time Whitemud Drive terminated at 34 Street. In 1999, Whitemud Drive was extended to present-day Anthony Henday Drive and Highway 14 was changed to its current alignment.

The second route of Highway 14A was 76 Avenue through Strathcona County. Highway 14 formerly shifted south from Whyte (82) Avenue to 76 Avenue before continuing east. When the Sherwood Park Freeway opened in 1968, Highway 14 was moved to the new route and the former route was renumbered as Highway 14A. The route was phased out in the 1970s.

How to cook a turkey
November 24, 2022
By Mrs. Fechtig’s Kindergarten Class
Eston Swaney – You buy a turkey at the store. Take it home and cut it up. Put salt and pepper on it and cook it on the grill for 30 minutes at 10 degrees. You will know when it is done because it will be brown. You eat it with celery. My family will all eat it.
Oliver Wirthanen – You go to the store to get a turkey. Take it home and put spices on it but I’m not sure what they are called. Cook it on the grill for 6 hours. You set the temperature to really hot. You will know when it is done when it looks like a cooked turkey – a tan color. Then...

Dear readers, I prayed diligently about what to share with you today. I felt so blessed, and I wanted to share that feeling with you. In so many ways, God shows us His love through the kindness of others. While I was praying, this amazing thing happened, and I believe this will bless you as much as it blessed my husband and me.
The other day we went through the drive-thru line to buy lunch at a fast food restaurant. When we pulled up to the window, the cashier informed us that the family in the car ahead of us had already paid for our order. As that car pulled out of the driveway, we waved at two smiling faces looking back at us in the rear window.
What a sweet thing to do, and how exciting to realize that the parents of the two young faces in the backseat of that car were teaching their children a lesson … to show kindness and love to others without expecting anything in return. They were “passing it forward.” So my husband and I did the same thing; we paid for the food ordered by the car behind us. That little act of “passing it forward” and seeing the smiles on the faces of the people in the car behind us put a smile on our lips and joy in our hearts. We were showing a kindness to make someone happy.
I’m sure you’ve felt the excitement that floods through you when you do something special for someone unable to act for themselves or when you make something easier for someone struggling? A spoken word of encouragement, a meal for a grieving family, a ride for someone who has no way to church. There is nothing like that feeling of joy.
In today’s world of selfish, greedy oppressors, no one is immune to the Devil’s network of bullies, but we can counteract that negative behavior with love and kindness. Our actions have consequences, and that means we can either hurt someone with our word and deeds, or we can uplift and encourage with what we say. When we choose to follow the example of Jesus Christ and show love to others, it causes a domino effect. Kindness breeds kindness. And that one good deed can start an avalanche of good will. It can change the world.
An act of kindness is like a ripple in a pond. When the first good deed is done, ripples of kindness spread endlessly.
“…it is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35b
What about you, dear readers? Can you share with us a time when you helped someone and felt that surge of joy? Leave your answer below and your name will be entered in the giveaway for a paperback or ebook copy of A Memory Worth Dying For. (*winner may choose any format.)
Author Interview Questions:
- What (2 or 3) fun or unique things can you tell us about yourself?
a) I’m also an artist, and I recently illustrated my first children’s book which released in April.
b) I’ve milked cows by hand. (We own an operated a dairy farm for 33 years.)
c) Pres. George W. Bush and his wife own a portrait I painted of the President in a cowboy hat. Laura Bush saw the painting and sent word that she would like to have it, so I mailed it to them during his last year in office.
- What can readers who enjoy your book do to help make it successful?
I think the most important thing a reader can do to help an author is to spread the word about his/her books: write reviews, tell their friends, promote them on social media. When our readers help us in these ways, it encourages us to write more stories. Without our readers, we are lost.
- What advice would you give to a beginning author?
Read as much as you can in the genre in which you enjoy writing. Don’t give up! Listen to your critics and learn as much as you can from them to improve your writing. Keep a good book on editing in your research library. Try to make your reader feel something while reading your story … an emotional response is imperative if you want the reader drawn into your story.
ABOUT “A Memory Worth Dying For”
“Do Not Return To Texas!” Marti Rushing gets the message, loud and clear. If she returns to Texas, her life is in danger. If she stays in Tennessee, she’s safe. But when she receives a letter telling her that Daniel, her ex-husband and the love of her life, is dying, she is compelled to defy the stalker and return to Texas to see him.
Three years ago, Daniel accused her of things she couldn’t remember doing. Without waiting for an explanation and after four wonderful years of marriage, Daniel kicks her off his family’s Quarter Horse ranch. Now, three years after their separation, he walks into her art reception in Tennessee and acts as if he doesn’t remember her. Does the memory loss have anything to do with the letter she received, or is Daniel pretending? Is he the one stalking her, or is it someone with a deadly, sinister motive?
Ignoring the deadly warnings, she leaves for Texas, but on the way there, the attempts on her life begin. Will she be able to evade her pursuer’s attacks? Or will Daniel’s face be the last one she sees?
Carson City, Texas
Marti gripped the car seat in front of her with rigid hands.
“Please, Vinny, slow down, or let me out.”
“Aw, come one, Marti. Don’t be such a scaredy-cat. I know what I’m doin.’”
Vinny’s wife, Angela, grinned and turned around to glimpse at Marti in the back seat. “His NASCAR reflexes are still there, hon. He can make a car do amazing things.”
Marti leaned back in the seat and tried to relax. Tucking an auburn curl behind her ear with one hand, she massaged her stomach when she felt the baby kick with the other. She swirled circular patterns on her stomach and yearned to be anywhere but in this speeding car.
Up ahead, a crooked stop sign balanced half way between a vertical position and the pavement. Instead of slowing up, Vinny’s foot forced the gas pedal further down to the floor.
“Watch me beat that old rattle-trap, Angie darling.”
Marti’s stomach clenched. With tightness in her throat, she watched a beat-up red truck plowing toward the intersection. The truck was traveling too fast. They weren’t going to make it to the stop sign first. She inhaled a stale gulp of air and watched in horror as the truck barreled toward them.
Marti closed her eyes. If she ignored the truck, maybe it would disappear.
What a Ninny! It wasn’t going to disappear.
Lord, please make it disappear.
Dread forced her eyes shut, but terror opened them up again. The truck was still there, and it wasn’t slowing up. The driver couldn’t see them through the willows blowing on the side of the highway.
She held her breath while Vinny sped through the intersection, foolishly ignoring the proximity of the two vehicles. The front bumper of the truck passed within inches of the back corner of their car.
A long horn blared behind them as the truck flashed by—the sound hollow and metallic in the damp humid air. The tires of the truck squealed briefly, and Marti’s imagination supplied the smell of hot rubber.
She watched the red truck round the sharp corner behind them and disappear. A gulp of air cooled her parched throat, and a sigh of relief made its way to her lips. She turned to the front. “Vinny, please …”
Suddenly she felt the car slide on the muddy road and hydroplane on top of the puddles of water. Her brother-in-law let out an expletive, then wrenched the wheel to the left.
Inside the car, Marti had the surreal feeling of being suspended in a boat on top of frothy waves. The car skated steadily sideways until Vinny lost control, and the right side of the car lifted into the air. Marti experienced a floating sensation and braced her hands on the car frame.
Lord, please help us.
The car tilted. Hard metal met her body when she was thrown against the side door. Broken glass scraped her arms and face.
The car tumbled. She crossed her arms over her stomach and tried to protect her baby from the blows. Screams filled the night air, and she heard crunching … metal ripping apart. The car beat at her whole body. A heavy blow to her arm was the last thing she remembered before something hit her in the back of the head, and the whole world swirled into oblivion.
A pain in her stomach woke her. Groaning filled the air around her until she realized it was coming from her own throat. The taste of her lips was bitter, but wetting them was impossible. Her mouth was parched, and there wasn’t enough moisture to keep her tongue from sticking to the roof of her mouth.
Towering over her, a strange woman gazed down at her. Marti stared up at the blurred face.
“Who … who are you?” Marti’s voice was just above a whisper.
The woman hovered over her. “Don’t you know who I am, Marti?”
Marti shook her head then another pain in her stomach doubled her over, and the woman moved to help her.
“Don’t worry, honey. I’ll help you. You’re gonna have this baby right here, before the ambulance gets here, aren’t you?”
“What h-happened? Where’s Daniel?” Marti grabbed the woman’s hand as another contraction filled her body with agony.
“Just relax, honey. I’ll take care of everything.”

The international community has created, under auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a system of notification and warning as well as a system of international assistance in case of a nuclear or radiological incident or accident. Rules governing these systems are fixed in two emergency conventions: the Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident and the Convention on Assistance in Case of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency. These conventions, which are primary legal instruments, establish an international framework to facilitate the exchange of information and the prompt provision of assistance in the event of a nuclear accident or radiological emergency. They have been signed by allmost all EU Member States and IAEA member countries. Nevertheless, countries which have not signed these conventions still have a right to be informed and to ask for assistance if necessary. Within the framework of these conventions, the IAEA established an Incident and Emergency Centre (IEC) which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The IEC facilitates the transfer of information, assistance of any kind, as well as procurement and transfer of material means if a country needs them. The emergency management arrangements cover not only incidents at nuclear power plants but also those involving the transport and disposal of radioactive materials.

The Eee PC has been lauded for promoting a free, open-source Linux operating system, and current Eees all come pre-installed with a Xandros-based distribution. However, the tables may turn drastically as the year goes on. eWeek reports that Asus expects a whopping 60% of all Eee PCs shipped in 2008 to come with Windows XP pre-loaded instead of Linux.
Last week, the Taiwanese computer maker officially announced a Windows XP-based version of the Eee PC, saying the machine would also come bundled with a copy of the Microsoft Works productivity suite. Microsoft Works includes word processing, spreadsheet, database, and calendar applications, providing a replacement for the free OpenOffice.org software that comes on the Linux Eee.
Asus didn't reveal pricing for the Windows model then, but now
EeeWeek eWeek says the company will peg it at "around $390 to $400." That would make this system about the same price as the $399.99 Eee PC 4G, although considering neither Windows nor Works is free, Asus might cut down the hardware a little in order to stick around the same price range. Nonetheless, Asus expects Windows-based offerings to account for three million of the five million Eee PCs it plans to ship worldwide this year.

text: The period of initial cyst growth is usually asymptomatic, and it is not rare to discover the lesion during a radiologic examination performed for other reasons. Nonspecific symptoms as such as chest pain, cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, allergic reactions, and fever are evident in some cases.14 The presence of vomica, acute respiratory failure, massive hemoptysis, anaphylactic shock, cardiovascular collapse, empyema, PNX, and pleural effusion are life-threatening conditions and usually indicate a cyst or cavity rupture.15 These are rarer than nonspecific symptoms. In particular, direct contact of the HC layer with airways sets the conditions for the onset of tension PNX. In our case, the patient was referred to our attention for the worsening of a 3-week history of nonspecific symptoms (ie, cough, wheezing, chest pain, and fever). Final diagnosis was made only by additional examinations; this emphasizes the insidious clinical presentation of hydatid lung disease.

Sheriff Steven Tompkins and Revere bakery owner Danny Luberto are betting their tail that the New England Patriots will prevail in this weekendâ€™s Super Bowl â€“ a lobster tail pastry, that is.
Tompkins made an official appearance at Lubertoâ€™s Bakery on Broadway Monday to announce the friendly Super Bowl wager between the local Sheriff here in Suffolk County and the other coastâ€™s Sheriff, John Urquhart of King County (Seattle).
â€œThis is a little cross country collegiality and itâ€™s fun and a way to build goodwill between Boston and Seattle, even though weâ€™re going to beat them in the game,â€ said Tompkins. â€œThe King County Sheriffâ€™s Department is one of the finest law enforcement agencies in the country and the Seahawks are a solid team, but the Lombardi Cup is coming back to New England.â€
Urquhart had a similar confidence in his team, the Seattle Seahawks.
â€œThe Suffolk County Sheriffâ€™s Department and the New England Patriots may have a strong history, but the Seahawks and the 12th Man have destiny on their side,â€ he said. â€œNo fan of the Seahawks will ever lose faith in our teamâ€™s ability to win the big game.â€
As part of the friendly wager, Tompkins said that in the unlikely event that the Patriots lose the Super Bowl, he will have to ship one dozen gigantic Lubertoâ€™s lobster tail pastries to the King County, WA Department.
However, in the more than likely event that the Patriots win the Super Bowl, Tompkins will gratefully accept one dozen 12th Man Cupcakes from Cupcake Royale in Seattle and a selection of Franâ€™s Chocolates, also of Seattle.
Tompkins said his Department reached out to Sheriff Urquhart to propose the wager, which was warmly accepted.
He said they wanted to choose a Revere business that had been affected by the July tornado.
Last July, Lubertoâ€™s found itself in the path of a powerful tornado that damaged a number of homes and businesses in Revere and Chelsea.
Luberto said he was happy that his business was chosen.
â€œWhat else can you ask for?â€ he said.


The Selection event is one of the top contests in the country, bringing together the cream of the country's mogul skiing crop to duke it out for only two U.S. Ski Team spots. During three days of cutthroat competition, Joe and Jimmy Discoe, Zak Watkins, Wade Parkinson, Page McCargo, Lindsey Cannon, and Lane Stoltzner represented Telluride.
"These are the seven kids who have really stuck with the team for the last five years," said Martin, who has been at the helm of the Freestyle team that entire time. "To have this many athletes qualify for this event shows the incredible talent of this team as a whole, and offers strong role models for our junior moguls skiers to look up to."
The first day of competition started with a bang, after an 18-inch storm dumped enough snow to create "hero" conditions on the fairly flat, 24-degree incline course. The soft, fast setting increased the competition among the field of 70 men and 60 women, who were all gunning for coveted spots on the U.S. Ski Team.
Joe Discoe started the contest with a huge qualification run, nailing his backflip mute grab and D-spins aerial maneuvers to take the overall top score after the first round. His second run put him in contention at fifth overall.
Meanwhile, brother Jimmy Discoe brought out his big guns in the qualifying round, throwing the new D-spins trick he learned in training over the summer, as well as a backflip ironcross that helped put him in fifth. Jimmy ended the day sitting pretty in sixth overall.
A solid, clean run put Watkins high in the rankings after day one, beating out more than half the field to finish 26th. A bobble on the bottom jump – following a high speed, well skied upper run – cost Parkinson a higher score and put him in 39th overall.
On the women's side, McCargo, Cannon and Stoltzner skied similarly clean runs, finishing 31, 33 and 36, respectively.
Said Martin of the Telluride ladies' contingent: "They honestly skied great, especially considering this is such a high pressure event. All three of them are scoring high with their turns, and as they gain more confidence in their jumps I think we'll see a lot more out of them."
Day two of the single mogul event found Jimmy and Joe as the sole Telluride skiers making the 16-man cut to the final round, with Jimmy finishing fourth overall and Joe coming in at 16th. On his next run, Jimmy went all out; unfortunately, during a sky-scraping backflip on the bottom air he lost a ski and finished 16th. Joe, meanwhile, skied what Martin described as his "best run of the weekend" to finish eighth.
The Discoe brothers also competed in the final event of the Ski Team qualifier, a single Dual Moguls contest. Two strong preliminary runs from the mogul-skiing duo put Joe at sixth and Jimmy in first overall; the two went on to the finals rounds, in which Jimmy won a total of four duals to finish second. Joe crashed on his top air in the second round, finishing in a tie for ninth.
"Winning those preliminary rounds really shows how close these skiers really are" to making it onto the U.S. Ski Team, Martin said. "Once you get to the top ten guys, it's just like picking a name out of a hat in terms of the strength of skiing being displayed."
For the entire team, the experience was as valuable as they come in the world of upper-level mogul competition.
"It's great for these skiers to see what the next level is all about," Martin said.
On tap for the TSSC's traveling freestyle squad are a smattering of regional Rocky Mountain Division events, the first scheduled for the first weekend in January at Aspen Mountain. The Discoes will continue working their way through the rankings on the North American Cup tour, traveling to upcoming races in Quebec, Ontario, Idaho, and Montana.
"There is certainly a long winter ahead," Martin said.

The anatomy of Terra Preta.
Sauerkraut (cabbage, salt) plus hi-carb inoculant
Shredded green waste (forest litter)
Organic charcoal powder
Local, living soil
Hair and nails
¹ Development Process and Possible Manufacturing Method, Notes from an excursion to Dr. Jürgen Reckin's Terra Preta garden on April 28, 2012 [German], Kathrin Ollendorf, Wendepunkt Zukunft, 2012.
http://wendepunktzukunft.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/TerraPreta_Exkursion_DrReckin-3.pdf [Accessed: 24.iv.2013]
The careful selection, refinement and timing of its input materials makes the controlled metabolism of Terra Preta possible. The key elements in ‘Amazonian Black Earths’ are lignocellulose (from fresh wood shreds) and the carboxylic moieties (from plant-based charcoal) that stimulate the desired microbes to participate in the conversion (humification) to vital soil. This concerted metabolism sanitizes human waste products and makes them compatible with soil life and appetizing for the feeder roots of crops.
List of ingredients to accommodate the output of two healthy human kidneys, following Dr. Jürgen Reckin’s method of Terra Preta¹. The following ingredients result in about one cubic meter (6 wheelbarrow loads) of Terra Preta soil:
- BIOCHAR, powdered (48 L from 2003’ Mt. Majura bushfire): perpetual storage medium for moisture, microbes and nutrients
- WOOD SHREDS, freshly cut and sappy (900 L of forest litter from ANU Garden & Grounds): carbon buffer ensuring safe humus conversion
- LIVING SOIL (30 L from ANU/SLC Organic Garden): incubator with micro-organisms and critters
- WOOD ASHES (10 L from April 2013 controlled fire at Black Mountain): rich in Calcium and Magnesium.
- VOLCANIC ROCK DUST, Dolomite Lime, (5 L): provides critical trace elements and balances acidity
- FERMENTED, HUMAN URINE, fermented, (240 L = 1.35L/day over 6 months): Potent source of Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium
- EARTHWORMS (1000 pcs; Kookaburra Worm Farm and donated by Dr. David Freudenberger): Their digestion caters to plants
- SEEDS for cabbage, tomato, carrots, lettuce, basil etc.


Apple is expected to bring iPhone 13 Series next month along with Apple Watch Series 7. Every year, the company’s hardware event happens in September. According to the latest reports, the Watch Series 7 CAD renders have revealed few details ahead of the launch.
A tipster named Jon Prosser has shared details of the Apple Watch Series 7 in May, and now the new renders say that the Watch will continue to have a square-shaped dial.
Leaked Apple Watch Series 7 CAD Shows Design Like iPhone 12
According to 91mobiles, the changes in the upcoming Apple Watch bring high-resolution CAD. The leak suggests that the company is overhauling the design. The Watch 7 will be having a flat-edged design instead of rounded edges. It is said that the watch will have a design similar to iPhone 12 series and the new iPads.
Apple Watch 7 will have a user-replaceable silicone strap. On the right side, there is a crown and flat buttons. On the left side, there is a pair of slits for speakers. And on the rear side, the device has some sensors like heart rate.
Moreover, the Apple Watch 7 will have a 1.8-inch display. It might have a new display with slim bezels. The upcoming watch might offer health-tracking sensors. There are some rumors that the next-gen Apple Watch will have a new lamination technique that brings the display near to the front cover. It will also support ultrawideband (UWB) connectivity that allows connecting to Apple’s ‘Find My Network.’
This is the first time that the Apple Watch is redesigned truly. However, back in 2018, the company increased the size of the device with Series 4, though it wasn’t really a big change.
Apple Watch Series 7 will be able to consider louder sounds than previous models. However, it is still not clear if Apple has any other plans. All these details are according to the leaked render; the company has not confirmed anything yet. So, wait for the official launch and the confirmation.


On August 16th, Zhuhai city, the Chinese Association of Refrigeration organized an appraisal meeting for the scientific and technological achievement made by Gree’s “Research and Application of Distributed Air Supply Technology in Heat Pump Air Conditioners”. He Yaling, academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, with 8 experts from the industry, unanimously agreed that this is a technology initiative first developed in the world and of world-leading level. This is also the 16th “World Leading” accreditation that awarded by Gree Electric.
During the heating course of traditional air conditioner, the hot air is likely to float upward that the temperature in upper part of room is higher than the temperature in lower part of room with about 10℃ temperature difference, which may impact the amenity of user and waste lots of heat.
Gree R&D team has successfully developed the “Distributed Air Supply Technology” for the purpose of efficient air distribution in “Horizontal Heating”, significant reduction of vertical temperature difference, more comfortable user experience and less power consumption.
With distributed air supply technology, the air conditioner can also achieve “Waterfall Cooling Mode” in the summer, that is, the upper air outlet guides the airflow to the upper part of the room, then the cold air will float down and disperse naturally, through which the user may have a better and healthier cooling experience.
This project achievement has applied for 39 national invention patents and 8 international patents.

President Joe Biden rebooted his effort to counter China’s flagship trade-and-infrastructure initiative after an earlier campaign faltered, enlisting the support of Group of Seven leaders at their summit in Germany.
The Build Back Better World initiative, named after Biden’s domestic spending and climate agenda, struggled to get off the ground because not enough G-7 partners contributed financially when it was unveiled a year ago, according to people familiar with its lack of progress. European officials cited the Biden administration’s inability to get its own ambitious economic legislation through Congress.
“When democracies demonstrate what we can do — all that we have to offer — I have no doubt that we’ll win that competition every time,” Biden said during an event on the sidelines of the summit.
The measure has been re-branded the “Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment” and the U.S. is calling on leaders to agree to fund the launch of projects in middle- and low-income countries to the tune of $600 billion over the next five years. It will consist mostly of private sector investments, with some funding from the U.S. Development Finance Corporation and Export-Import Bank and other commitments from foreign governments.
The U.S. would contribute $200 billion in total though it’s unclear what the split would be between private and public sector funding, and how the government plans to convince companies to take part.
There is the potential for the same challenges to crop up under the initiative’s latest incarnation, in part as the G-7 prioritizes other issues such as taming inflation and dealing with the fallout of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 and the uncertain economic recovery from COVID-19 threaten to undermine progress,” Chatham House said in a June 24 research paper. “Changing priorities among donor nations, driven by events in Ukraine, risk a further shift in development policy towards bilateralism and fragmentation within the G7 and with recipient nations.”
Expectations have already been tempered. While it’s pitched as a direct alternative to President Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road program, the U.S. official noted it would be unrealistic to compare the two dollar-for-dollar. Each partner country wants to put its own branding on the partnership, but all would operate under the PGII umbrella.
The Biden team’s view is that countries around the world are waking up to the reality the BRI didn’t achieve outcomes for them and that they’re receptive to a U.S.-led alternative. Russia’s actions in Ukraine also serve as a warning for countries worried about being overly indebted to others with the resultant geopolitical risks, the U.S. official said.
Among the projects announced Sunday are $2 billion in solar projects in Angola, a $600 million contract to build a submarine telecommunications cable that will connect Singapore to France through Egypt and the Horn of Africa and $14 million to support a design study for Romania’s deployment of a small modular reactor plant.
One of the four planks is information and communication technology along with health, climate and gender equality. That includes, for example, offering alternatives to Chinese telecom giant Huawei Technologies Co for the deployment of 5G networks and building childcare centers.
The official said the U.S. will also focus on investing in projects that help supply chain security by making the U.S. and other allies less reliant on China. Amos Hochstein, one of Biden’s key energy advisers, has been leading the U.S. approach and scoping out new projects over the past few months.

The Video: Arsenal fans sweat on Mesut Ozil after the German is forced off by injury against Sweden
Arsenal fans are worried this Wednesday after marquee summer signing Mesut Ozil limped off during Germany’s 5-3 win in Sweden on Tuesday.
Ozil, playing on his 25th birthday, picked up a reported knee problem in the final 10 minutes of the World Cup qualifier after he pulled up following a seemingly innocuous challenge when tracking back a Swedish opponent.
Ozil immediately began hopping after tweaking his left leg, and moments later the Arsenal star was hunched over in pain as it became clear his game was prematurely over.
Worryingly for Gunners fans Ozil then slumped to the floor as he appeared unable to put weight on his leg, and seconds later the Arsenal playmaker was subbed for starlet Julien Draxler. Once hooked off the pitch, Ozil gingerly walked off the pitch straight down the tunnel and into the changing room for treatment.
Ozil is no a major doubt for Arsenal’s match with Norwich this weekend in the Premier League.

The Ashes 2017/18: Michael Clarke’s Advise For England To Retain The Urn
Former Australia skipper Michael Clarke feels that England can stun widely-touted favourites hosts in the upcoming Ashes if they manage to win the first Test at the Gabba, considered as Australia’s fortress.
Since the defeat at the hands of the formidable West Indies way back in 1988, Australia have not lost a single game in Brisbane. On the other hand, the visitors last managed a win at the venue in 1986. Since the win in 1986, England played seven Tests in Brisbane but did not manage to end up on the winning side even once, losing five while drawing the other two.
Not surprisingly, Steve Smith & Co. will start the game as favourites, but Clarke feels a history-defying win at the famous venue will set the tone for Joe Root & Co. Clarke, who had led Australia to a thumping 5-0 win when England last arrived in the country four years ago, had a word of advice for the visitors, saying that they can stun the hosts if they manage to handle Australia’s formidable pace attack well.
“If I was England I’d be focused on the attack I had to face, that would be my concern,” Clarke told cricket.com.au.
“Knowing that you’ve got (Josh) Hazlewood in top form and fit, (Mitchell) Starc bowling like a genius and (Pat) Cummins is a superstar, complemented with Nathan Lyon. If I was England that would be my focus, trying to find a way to be able to combat that and also to be able to dominate,” he added.
Clarke further said the outcome of the series-opener would set the tone for the five-Test series and backed England to retain the urn if they manage to come out on top in Brisbane.
“You’ve got to be able to find a way to get on top of the bowlers. Will we see England come out and be aggressive and play positive or will we see them sit back. That’s why the first Test is so important. The first Test will dictate the series,” he said.
“If England win the first Test I think they will win the series,” he added.
But at the same time, Clarke said it is ‘doubtful’ that England would win at Brisbane unless Alastair Cook or Joe Root come up with a monumental knock.
‘”But it’s at the Gabba, it’s extremely unlikely unless someone like Alastair Cook or Joe root, the experienced player, really stands up and grinds the Australian bowlers into the ground, makes a big double hundred,” Clarke said.
“It’s going to be tough for England at the Gabba because you’re going to see extra pace, bounce and movement and with those three (Australia) quicks it’s going to be good to watch,” he added. “I think Australia will definitely win but I can’t see it being convincingly though.”

Seattle-based Macrina Bakery & Café celebrated its 15th anniversary by promoting some of its signature products.
The bakery's three locations offered customers a free brown sugar shortbread cookie on Aug. 27. For that week, the bakery also promoted its Giuseppe bread, Macrina's version of a crusty Italian bread, with a promotional price of $2.15 per loaf. Giuseppe bread was reformulated to include Shepherd's Grain flour, which is milled from wheat grown sustainably by farms in eastern Washington.
“Customers have really grown to trust Macrina to be a part of their celebrations and, more importantly, their daily lives,” said Macrina founder, Leslie Mackie. “That's really gratifying.”
During the past 15 years, Mackie has expanded her company from one location to three and expects to open a new LEED-certified production facility and café this month. She also wrote the Macrina Bakery & Café Cook-book, which was published in 2003 and re-issued in paperback in 2006.

Kentucky fans have been waiting for several weeks to get a shot at signing Virginia Tech transfer Kerry Blackshear.
The wait will be a little longer, if it comes at all, as Blackshear took his second official to an SEC school on Friday, and neither of those teams have been Kentucky or Texas A&M.
Source: Virginia Tech graduate transfer Kerry Blackshear is taking an official visit to Arkansas today. Averaged 14.9 PPG & 7.5 RPG this past season.— Evan Daniels (@EvanDaniels) June 7, 2019
Many believed that Texas A&M, coached by former Virginia Tech coach Buzz Williams, would be the favorite to land his former player. Florida is also in a good position, being close to the Blackshear's Orlando home and being one big man away from having a competitive roster. But of course, Kentucky is always in the mix and Blackshear’s commitment would put their roster over the top.
Earlier this week, however, another SEC suitor emerged in Arkansas. The Razorbacks are led by newly hired head coach Eric Musselman, who put Nevada basketball back on the map by building that program from the ground up from 2015-2019. He succeeded at Nevada through strong recruiting, especially via transfer, and bringing his basketball knowledge from years of coaching in the NBA.
Although Arkansas’ emergence in the Kerry Blackshear sweepstakes should certainly make Kentucky fans feel uneasy, it is a big victory that John Calipari was able to weather the storm of Blackshear’s Thursday visit to Florida. There was major concern that he would commit while visiting Gainesville.
There is no planned visit to Lexington that we are aware of, but it seems that Blackshear is finally focused on finding his new college destination. I would expect a decision in the next two weeks, so let’s hope he drops by Lexington at some point during that time frame.


Jorge Masvidal might have his next opponent lined up should he be interested in fighting Leon Edwards.
Edwards called for a fight with Masvidal on Instagram on Wednesday afternoon. He wrote in the caption, “Let’s make it happen, it’s the only fight that make sense for me outside the championship.”
This is not the first time Edwards has called out Masvidal of late. They also have history.
Edwards andMasvidal were involved in a backstage skirmish last year at a UFC event in London. The two men are both ranked in the welterweight top-5.
Edwards has not fought since July of 2019 when he scored a win over former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos. On the flip side, Masvidal last fought at UFC 251 in July when he lost to reigning welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.

I've done drafts of novels... two in fact, but those haven't gotten beyond the draft phase. And I had a short story I was working on that stalled out. Basically I fell out of love with the characters and if I don't love them how can I expect anyone else to?
But this time I finished the story, revised it a couple of times, and turned it in. This will be part of an anthology a group of us is putting together for the next RT Booklovers convention in Las Vegas, May 2016 and it will also be offered up for sale.
Things are moving now so I'm real excited. I might even get one of the novels I drafted finished.
Sounds like you're on a roll. Sweet inspiration. :)

A new study found that six popular dietary supplements, fish oil, garlic, cinnamon, turmeric, plant sterols, and red yeast rice, are ineffective at combating “bad” cholesterol.
Study finds fish oil, garlic, cinnamon, turmeric, plant sterols, and red yeast rice are ineffective for fighting “bad” cholesterol.
Research shows statins are superior to dietary supplements, proving to lower cholesterol.
Making smart personal health choices can increase your risk to avoid heart disease more than dietary supplements.
A study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology compared dietary supplements against statins, finding the FDA-approved drug for reducing blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. LDL is also known as “bad” cholesterol, which is tied as an instigator of heart disease.
Luke Laffin, the study’s author and co-director of the Center for Blood Pressure Disorders in the Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute at Cleveland Clinic, believes this study shows significant evidence that dietary supplements are ineffective in reducing LDL cholesterol.
“If you’re taking over-the-counter supplements for heart health or for cholesterol-lowering, you should reconsider,” Laffin said to Cleveland Clinic Newsroom. “Unfortunately, many U.S. consumers believe cholesterol health supplements are safer than prescription medications and believe supplements are as effective, or more effective than statins.”
Statins prove to be effective
Laffin and his team evaluated 190 adults between the ages of 45 and 65 over a 28-day period. Those involved were placed in groups featuring a placebo, fish oil, cinnamon, garlic, turmeric, plant sterols, or red yeast rice, along with a light 5 mg/day of a statin medication.
The study found average LDL reduction at the study conclusion was prevalent in 37.9% of those receiving statin. Those consuming the dietary supplements just about equaled the results of the placebo.
Statins do lead to some side effects versus the dietary supplements tested, including:
- Tiredness, weakness
- Digestive system issues including diarrhea or constipation
- Sleeping issues
- Muscle pain
Study limited by sample size
Although this study shows no benefits of dietary supplements mentioned, it is limited due to the participants observed. None of the population had severe cardiovascular disease, but 42% had high blood pressure — which was linked heavily to high cholesterol. Also, 3.5% were current smokers, and 33 were former smokers. Smoking can lead to higher amounts of “bad” cholesterol.
Although none of the participants had severe cardiovascular disease, a solid portion contained precursors to heart health issues. The study does not probe into the effects of the supplements on a diverse scale, mostly focusing on middle-to-older aged individuals. Perhaps, consuming dietary supplements over a long-term period could provide some benefits.
It is important to stay a step ahead before high cholesterol impacts your health, leading to many cases of heart disease.
How to fight high cholesterol
High cholesterol is currently a major epidemic in the United States. According to the CDC, around 7% of children and teens ages 6 to 19 have high total cholesterol. Heart disease is currently the leading cause of death in the U.S., with high cholesterol only increasing the chances.
High cholesterol has no symptoms and can only be detected through blood work, therefore putting pressure on the individual to eat an appropriate diet. Our body naturally creates appropriate amounts of cholesterol, therefore not making it a necessity to acquire through various foods.
Food with high amounts of cholesterol include:
- Steak, beef roast, ribs, pork chops
- Processed meats
- Fried foods
- Candy, sweets, pastries, and many other deserts with high sugar
- Fatty dairy products
Foods like eggs, shellfish, and lean meat are great foods for nutritional value despite containing high cholesterol. When consuming foods with high cholesterol, it is essential to intake them in moderation. It is nearly impossible to avoid a breakfast with bacon and eggs or an afternoon barbeque with hot dogs in a burger. Try to limit those occasions, and make the healthier option available — like having a turkey burger instead of the quarter-pound beef burger. Oats, beans, and other foods with unsaturated fats can help prevent high levels of LDL.
Exercise is another great method to lower cholesterol. For kids, 60 minutes per day is recommended along with two-and-a-half hours per week for adults of physical activity according to the U.S. Surgeon General. Other bad habits to limit high cholesterol include smoking and high amounts of alcohol consumption.
Being overweight or obese can increase your risk for higher levels of “bad” cholesterol. The CDC recommends assessing your body mass index (BMI) to determine if you are at a healthy weight.
Results from the Supplements, Placebo or Rosuvastatin Study were funded by AstraZeneca with an unrestricted grant. However, Cleveland Clinic was granted full control of the study’s study methodology, data analysis, and discussion of clinical implications.


Premiere: Your Planet Is Next – Rhythm is a Dancer
Warning’s annual 7′ outing is a split release featuring two classic covers.
Like a movie scene or a dream he couldn’t wake from, he passed flashing lights at warp speed with no sense of direction. An experience reminiscent of a nostalgic 90s music video, with faded colours and bodies moving in ways we’d never seen before; all of this stimulated by a simplistic sound, one that’s fascinating, one that transports you back in time to those retro ‘MTV Top 20 Dance Tracks’ TV shows that seemed to play over and over and over again…
Your Planet Is Next is no stranger to making minimalist, low-bit remakes of huge classics. They’re bold, dry and stripped back covers that place you in some sort of hypnotic trance. Having already put his own spin on the likes of ‘Believe’ by Cher and ‘Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others’ by The Smiths, he now takes on Snap!’s 1992 dance hit ‘Rhythm is a Dancer’ as part of Warning’s annual 7″ outing. It’s a noticeable contrast to the original; equal parts melancholic and energetic, the track weaves together pitched-up vocals, clean synth stabs and grooving synth-pop melodies, while on the flip Warning family member Jotel California provides an electro breaks version of Grauzone’s Eisbær.

According to officials who work with several Domestic Violence programs in Yakima County, one area is vastly underserved.
Very few programs exist for counseling DV offenders
According to information from Apple Valley News (KAPP-KVEW TV), there are very few programs available to counsel and help people who commit domestic violence and help them modify their behaviors.
YWCA Executive Director Cheri Kilty, who serves Yakima, said during a recent meeting with county officials, that nationally 74 percent of DV offenders who get treatment show positive behavioral changes.
However, compared to DV victim services, counseling opportunities for offenders are few and far between. According to the Apple Valley report, only four counseling providers are in Yakima. Often, the Department of Social and Health Services mandates such counseling for certain DV offenders, but there’s often a backlog.
To compound the problem these officials say DV offender counseling is not covered by insurance.
A check of DSHS resources on their state website shows only three providers who offer counseling for DV offenders, two of them in Kennewick, and one in Pasco. These programs are referred to as DVIT or Domestic Violence Intervention Training by DSHS.
None are listed for Walla Walla, Lincoln, Adams, or other SE WA counties, there is one DVIT treatment provider listed for Grant County, in Moses Lake.

Bosses planning to retire on business
20 March 2003
Small business owners are planning to use their business as a pension, according to new research by Abbey National business.
Almost a third (31 per cent) of bosses plan to sell their companies when they retire, rather than pass them on to family members.
Of those surveyed a tiny 15 per cent planned to keep the business in the family, while six per cent said they would probably sell it to staff.
Gary Hockey-Morley, director of Abbey National business commented, 'It's a far cry from the days when everyone in the family used to work in the traditional small business and it was simply passed down from generation to generation.'
'Today's small business bosses want to enjoy their retirement and with pensions falling short, they are looking to their business to fill the gap.'
The average boss now plans to remain in control until they are 62 (30 per cent) and only two per cent saw themselves retiring between the ages of 50 and 54.
Retirement plans included spending time with the family (46 per cent), moving somewhere hot (42 per cent) and just under a quarter wanted to continue working as consultants.
The Abbey National business study blames more expensive lifestyles and longer life expectancy for the change in small business owners plans.

Although people infected with HIV produce many antibodies against the protein encapsulating the virus, most of these antibodies are strangely ineffective at fighting the disease.
A new study suggests why some of the most common of these antibodies don't work: they target the protein in a form it takes after the virus has already invaded the cell, when it's too late, report researchers at Children's Hospital Boston and their colleagues.
The findings, published online Nov. 14 in the journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, refocus attention on the rare group of neutralizing antibodies that do work, described by the team in an earlier study. These antibodies home in on the protein at an earlier moment when the virus latches onto a healthy cell. Many people believe an effective HIV vaccine will need to greatly expand this rare antibody immune response to block infection. Children's has filed for patents on two new proteins designed to expand this rare antibody response.
"The key finding of this paper is that we can distinguish the shape of the protein targeted by useful antibodies," said senior author Bing Chen, PhD, of the Division of Molecular Medicine at Children's. "That means we can think about designing immunogens trapped in this defined structure and ways to prevent the protein from forming into an irrelevant conformation."
The same HIV protein, known as gp41, takes two such dramatically different configurations that it reacts with two different kinds of antibodies, Chen's group shows. In HIV, the protein travels under wraps on the surface of virus particles. When the virus locks onto a healthy cell, the protein briefly unfolds and stretches out to its full length, extending out like a person reaching high overhead. This is the shape that generates rare but useful neutralizing antibodies in some people.
Then comes another shape change. After taking hold of the cell membrane, the protein folds over, like a person touching his toes, to fuse the cell to the virus membrane. That final calisthenic to fuse the membranes also creates an opening that allows the viral contents to invade the cell. At this stage, the protein functions as a decoy, serving only to bring on fruitless antibody responses and to distract the immune system, the authors wrote in the paper.
"This paper helps to resolve key questions plaguing the field: Why do certain forms of the protein interact with certain antibodies, and why aren't these antibodies in general more effective?" said virologist Dan Barouch, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, who was not involved in the study. "This paper shows how particular antibodies react with different conformation states of gp41, but the implications are well beyond that. The results also offer a new way of thinking about envelope immunogen design." Barouch is collaborating with Chen to test the immunogenicity of the protein in animal models.
Chen's team discovered the immune-evasion power of the decoy protein shape in studies led by Gary Frey, PhD, and Jia Chen, PhD. Frey and Chen solved the atomic structure of a useless antibody bond to the final form of the protein. "The postfusion state is very stable," said Chen, allowing plenty of time for the body to churn out worthless antibodies.
A companion paper from a Duke University group published simultaneously online shows another non-neutralizing antibody binding to a slightly different region of the protein in the postfusion form, further confirming the findings reported by Chen's group.

Greetings from the sleepy upstate, NY town of Cortland, where the Jets have arrived for a nearly month-long training camp to prepare for the 2010 season.
Actually, Cortland wasn't really sleepy this afternoon, as around 1,500 people gathered along Main Street to welcome the team. Rex Ryan greeted the cheering crowd, and talked about —what else — the Super Bowl.
Ryan then elicited a cheer when he told the crowd that "every single player passed their conditioning test."
Of course, that didn't include cornerback Darrelle Revis (pictured), who didn't take his conditioning test. Revis is embroiled in a contract dispute and has decided to stay away from camp for an indefinite period of time.
