Lepiota viridigleba is a species of sequestrate fungus in the family Agaricaceae. It was first described as new to science by mycologist Michael Castellano in 1995, based on collections made among Populus roots in California.  The fungus was initially called Amogaster viridiglebus and tentatively placed in the order Boletales. Molecular analysis revealed the fungus to be a member of the genus Lepiota, and it was transferred to that genus in 2013.

The grocer is trouncing the market so far in 2014, but still has room to run.
Consumers are gaining confidence, and so are Kroger (NYSE:KR) stock investors. While benefiting from their company's double-digit sales growth, shareholders have trounced the market so far in 2014 with an almost 30% gain.
KR Total Return Price data by YCharts.
But the big question is: Can Kroger keep outgrowing competitors and the market from here? Let's take a look at three reasons why the grocer might continue its winning ways in the years ahead.
Aiming for a foothold in fast-growing vacation and college-town markets, particularly in the Southeast U.S., Kroger spent over $2 billion to purchase its former competitor Harris Teeter in a deal that closed early this year. Sure, the prize was small in terms of revenue: Teeter's $4.5 billion in annual sales amounts to less than 5% of Kroger's massive $100 billion base. But shareholders are seeing benefits to the merger that go beyond just a modest sales bump.
For one, the companies are reaping savings from increased scale that's helping them cut millions of dollars of distribution and labor costs. And those savings have helped upgrade Kroger's earnings this year. While management has targeted long-term profit growth of between 8% and 11%, it is on track to deliver between 12% and 15% in 2014 thanks mainly to merger synergies. Gains beyond that are harder to quantify, but here's one promising candidate: Harris Teeter has had success with its online ordering and store pickup model, which may be the kind of thing that Kroger could scale to its own locations.
Kroger last quarter accomplished the surprising feat of actually outgrowing Whole Foods Market. It posted a 4.6% bounce in same-store sales, as compared to the organic giant's 3.9%. Yes, that favorable matchup was mostly due to a drop in Whole Foods' growth from its more usual 7% comps.
But it still shows that Kroger isn't too big to achieve head-turning growth of its own. In fact, like Whole Foods, the grocer is taking full advantage of the trend toward healthier eating, as illustrated by the double-digit sales increase that its natural and organic foods department posted last quarter. There should be plenty of expansion ahead for those categories, which will lift profits and is likely one reason why Kroger boosted its full-year sales growth guidance to as high as 4% on a same-store basis.
Finally, Kroger's capital return program is massive, and could accelerate shareholder gains in the years ahead. Consider that the company spent nearly $2 billion on buybacks and dividends just in the last four quarters, helping push its outstanding share count lower by 3%.
Given Kroger's short-term goal to pay down its debt, investors shouldn't expect much more in the way of share repurchases this year. However, with annual operating cash flow near an all-time high of $3.4 billion, the company should have plenty of ammunition to fund both debt repayments and an increase in dividends and share buybacks over the next few years.
KR Cash from Operations (Annual) data by YCharts.
One big risk to watch for is a slowing economic rebound that would sap the energy out of Kroger's growth. But the good news for shareholders is that things aren't looking bad on that score. CEO Rodney McMullen told investors in a recent conference call, "We are seeing strong positive indicators in shopping behavior." Kroger's customers are being less cautious in their spending, which bodes well for the company's opportunity to keep extending its streak of same-store sales growth that now sits at 42 quarters straight.

AbstractThe purpose of this research was to investigate the correlation of birth order and roommate relationships. A survey was given to 49 Intro to Psychology freshmen, both male and female, and of different ethnicities. Evaluation of satisfaction with roommate scores on the survey were correlated with the participant's birth order and gender. Findings indicated that there were no significant correlations among birth order and roommate satisfaction. However, there was statistical differences among the means of first borns and later borns. Improved roommate assignments for freshmen in college is discussed with further research on the subject.
INTRODUCTION The Correlation between Birth Order and Roommate Relationships of freshmen in College	There is a great deal of change in the lives of young adults who enter college. Students must deal with academic adjustment as well as social, especially those living away from home. For those living on campus, a roommate unavoidably becomes a very large part of life. Hopefully, a good, healthy relationship will form instead of a conflict filled, disrespectful one. There are many factors that influence relationships. A person's cultural background, the area in which a person is from, similarity in interests and hobbies as well as moral values all play a role in how two individuals interact with each other. A great deal also depends on the family life in which a person has lived in. The context of sibling and parental relationships could parallel the relationships to be formed with a roommate. If birth order does, indeed, correlate with roommate happiness, perhaps the knowledge could be used to match up better-paired roommates. This would allow freshmen students to enjoy one less stress in making the transition to college. One major factor influencing the quality of relationships and hence the transition to college is proximity. Festinger, Schachter and Back (1950) believe that simply being forced to live with someone in close living areas promotes friendship and therefore a good relationship. In a study of friendship formation patterns in apartment complexes, they found that those who lived next door or very close became friends, and those who were more distant within the complex did not know each other very well. This is just one of the many theories on relationship development. More important than any other factor in determining quality of relationships is personality. Personality has been the main consideration in numerous studies, which can be applied to birth order, since each position in the family has been found to possess similar personality traits and characteristics. A person's personality consists of ideas and views the person finds valuable and lives by. This is how one is identified as a person, by their morals and standards. Just as personality identification is important in adolescents, a time of finding oneself (Carli, Ganley, & Pierce-Otay 1991), so it is to freshmen college students who are stepping into a new area of their lives. If looking for similar personality traits is a way of seeking approval, college students may also seek a roommate that has the same opinions and ideas. Ideally, case studies could be performed to find the best possible roommate matches. However, such studies would be highly flawed because of the intrusion on personal life. Television shows, such as MTV's Real World, in a broad sense, have captured the idea of finding correlations between persons who form good relationships and persons who tend to conflict. Again, knowledge of being broadcasted to the entire United States creates an unrealistic research setting. However, the show does aim to find similarities in personality for those that get along well and those that disagree. Many studies have focused on compatibility in relationships. A great deal of social psychology assesses personality and the interaction of people. Katz (1979) believes that those with similar personalities, morale, and level of maturity get along better than those who generally do not agree on such issues, disagreeing with the notion that "opposites attract". In her study, Katz (1979) had freshman roommates in college paired up based on similar or dissimilar personalities, to observe the roommate compatibility throughout the year. She sent out an initial questionnaire before the school year began, to find out which persons could be matched with similar personalities. She measured compatibility by room changes and roommate requests for the following year. Her findings supported her hypothesis that similar personalities had better compatibility (Katz 1979). If similar personalities are the best determinate of compatibility, then each birth order position would best get along with other persons of the same birth order position. There have been numerous amounts of birth order studies, and though the data varies, there are specific trends in personality of each birth position. First born children have generally been categorized as overachievers as far as goals are concerned, and thus also competitive in their actions. Academically, they are perceived as superior, even by other siblings (Paulhus, Trapnell & Chen 1999). Though first borns are more sensitive and aware of others (McArthur 1956), they also have been found to be consistently afraid of conflict and place a higher value on possessions and physical goods (Zemanek 2000). According to Zemanek, in a study involving mailed questionnaires, firstborns tend to show higher materialistic qualities. Competition is the major issue that middle born children deal with. They are constantly striving to surpass their older siblings and often are demanding and seek great attention (Ernst & Angst 1983). The later born children also have a general characterization. They are less goal oriented and do not feel the need to compete, making them more easy going, socially. They also are more socially aware of their peers, and tend to be the "popular children" or the exact opposite, "the outcasts" (McArthur 1956). The purpose of this study was to find if such birth order personalities were related to the type of relationships people form, particularly with roommates. From the past research on typical birth order traits, it appeared that roommates would report better relationships if they were middle or later born children, because of past experience in sharing responsibilities of the household. First borns would have to learn to deal with a new person in their life of the same rank in the new living situation. All chores and room responsibilities would be equal for the first time for many oldest children. Other factors that might influence a good relationship in collegefreshmen would be gender and number of siblings in a family. Also considering past research, any person that grew up with siblings or that is male would score higher on roommate satisfaction, than those that were only children or are female. Only children have obviously not had to deal with equality in a living situation, and males are generally less sensitive than women, which leads to less conflict.
METHOD Participants:	The participants consisted of 13 males and 36 females of freshmen college age (17-19 years old). The aim was to recruit the same number of participants for each gender, however, the pool in which participants were taken from were majority female. The participants were limited to freshman at Loyola University living on campus, in the dorms. These participants volunteered from Intro to Psychology classes of three different teachers for redemption of course credit. The students were asked to participate in the study at the end of the specified classes, allotting enough time to complete the survey. Materials:	The materials used in the study were an informed consent form, an experimenter created survey, and a pencil. The demographic questions of the survey included name, age, and brother(s), sister(s) age(s) (to determine their birth order rank). Birth order was measured by the ages indicated of siblings against the participant's own age. Questions about roommate relationships followed. These questions, in the form of statements, were directed toward activities that roommates engaged in together (ex. I eat dinner with my roommate), as well as general satisfaction of the relationship (ex. I feel that my roommate is respectful of my things) (see Appendix). Scoring was based on a high score of 60 (12 questions on a scale of 1-5). The study was of convenience sampling. Design And Procedure:This research was a correlational study on birth order and roommate relationships, between participants. In this study, those were the two main variables under investigation. However, a few other variables were also considered in the data: gender, number of siblings, and the age distance between siblings. Birth order was based on rank in the family. Those that were born first and were the oldest, were called "first borns". Those who were of families with only two children were considered "later borns" or the last children. If a family had three or more children, the last children born were called the "later borns". Children who fell in between two or more siblings in age were called "middle children", and obviously those who had no siblings were called "only children". Non-traditional families were controlled for by participant indication of siblings who were stepchildren and did not live with them; those siblings were notconsidered when taking birth order into account. The other major variable, roommate relationship was defined as a healthy, respectful, non-conflicting relationship, which included characteristics of friendship, as measured by an experimenter created survey. Gender was categorized as male and female, and the distance of siblings in age was considered by the number of years apart participants were from their siblings. With permission from the Professors, the students were asked at the beginning of class to fill out the short survey about general relationships. Participants were handed a packet containing an informed consent to keep and a two-page survey. The informed consent did not require a signature, as the research was anonymous. The survey consisted of a few demographic questions along with roommate relationship inquiries. After the survey was completed, it was returned and signatures were given for acknowledgment of course credit. Participants were reminded that the results of the study would be posted in mid-December on an undergraduate web site, and told that the study was being conducted to see if birth order and roommate relationship correlate. Any questions were answered. The participants were thanked and dismissed.
RESULTS The main effect of roommate relationships was found not to be statistically significant, F(3, 49) = 1.618, p = .199. The greatest statistical mean difference on scores of roommate relationships was found between first borns (M = 38.79, SD = 12.23) and later borns (M = 45.81, SD = 7.82). Later borns had the highest scores (M = 45.81, SD = 7.82), followed by the only children (M = 43.00, SD = 7.35), then middle (M = 42.43, SD = 5.21), and finally first borns. Standard deviation of the mean for birth orders was generally the same, varying from 5.21 to 7.82, except for first borns who had a much greater deviation (SD = 12.23). One-way ANOVA was performed on first born and later borns. The results were not significant, F(3, 49) = 3.64, p=0.067.
DISCUSSION The study did not find significant results for the correlation of birth order with roommate relationships. It had been expected that later borns would have higher scoring on roommate satisfaction than first borns or middle borns. This patterning was exhibited, though the findings were not significant either. Except for a few high scores, generally, first borns scored lower in on the survey. Any trend in scores supports the view that there are specific personality trends in birth orders. The group, first borns, that did relatively worse on roommate satisfaction scoring obviously has a personality trait that provokes conflict. According to Zemanek these qualities of conflict could be power, authority, and higher values on materialistic things. First born's consistent fear of conflict would also impede on small issues being resolved, which would lead to greater conflict (Zemanek 2000). Distribution was generally the same across birth order, except for only children. One reason that only children received such high scores was because their sample size was exceptionally low (N=5). Only children had been expected to do much worse on roommate satisfaction, because of the lack of sibling interaction in dealing with conflict and resolution. If the study was conducted over a larger population, where more equally distributed groups could be obtained, perhaps results would be more consistent with what was expected. A larger sample size would also have been helpful in finding a higher correlation of first borns with relatively low roommate satisfaction scores. The scoring on the roommate relationships survey of first borns was generally medium to low scores, with 3 outliers of extreme high scores. The hypothesis may have very well been supported if there had been more time for collection of participants. Another problem with the study was the failure to recognize each participant's roommate birth order. With addition of this information, inferences could be made about compatibility of each type of birth order, instead of just personality of each birth order regarding roommate relationships. This compatibility of birth orders has been previously researched, and findings show that there are differences formed in relationships according to each person's birth order. Non-complementary relationships exist between two first borns, and complementary relationships exist between a first born and a later born (Toman 1976). This study could expand on Toman's work if this measure had been investigated, and thus better judgement on the matching of freshmen roommates could be made. The survey could also be improved upon for the evaluation of a healthy roommate relationship. The survey measured activities with roommates and feelings of respect of things and space. More questions concerning emotions and feelings toward the roommates' ideas and values could be beneficial. Along with the survey improvements, the time of the school year when the study was conducted could be changed. The survey was only rated as of knowing roommates for approximately two months. With the addition of more participants and a renovation of the survey to better test roommate relationships, possible correlations could be made. If such was improved, the findings could help match better roommates in first year students, and thus make the transition to college a great deal easier. The knowledge of personality of birth orders would also be expanded. By not just studying typical characteristics of each birth position, but instead their relationships with other birth orders, a greater understanding of relationship formation could also be gained.

In Texas, Statutory Rape is charged as Sexual Assault of a Child, a serious felony offense. If convicted as an adult, the defendant is required to register as a sex offender for life. If the alleged child victim is between 14 to 16 years of age, the crime is a second degree felony and punishable by 2 to 20 years in prison for each count in the indictment. If the alleged child victim is under 14 years of age, the crime is a first degree felony and punishable by 5 to 99 years in prison for each count in the indictment.
These cases seem to be more and more common. A 23 year old male name "John" goes to a friend's house party and meets an attractive, willing woman who says she is 18 years of age. They have consensual sex in one of the bedrooms. Several days later, he learns that she is really 14 years of age and that her mother found out about it and called the police.
John now faces serious sex offense charges. There are several important legal issues to consider:
In Texas, for purposes of the Sexual Assault of a Child and Indecency with a Child crimes, a child does not become an adult until age 17. For other sexual-related offenses, including Possession of Child Pornography and Sexual Performance of a Child, the age of an adult is 18 years.
In Texas, it is not a defense that the accused did not know the child's real age. So, the alleged victim could have lied about her age to the accused and the accused will still face criminal charges.
The alleged victim cannot legally consent to sexual relations unless the alleged victim is 14 years of age or older and there is only a 3 year or less difference between the ages of the alleged victim and the accused.
In Texas, only one eye-witness, the alleged victim, is sufficient for conviction, so long as the jury believes the alleged victim beyond a reasonable doubt.
In Texas, neither genital trauma nor DNA evidence is required for a conviction.
In Texas, voluntary intoxication is not a defense. So, if the accused goes to a party, gets drunk and sleeps with an underage girl, he cannot use his intoxication as a defense to the crime of Sexual Assault of a Child.
In Texas, each separate sexual act can be separately charged within one indictment and, if there is a conviction, each Count can be stacked or served consecutively.
With these types of sexual offenses, there are many other legal issues involved. If a person is charged with sexual assault of a child, possession of child pornography or any type of sex offense, it is important to retain a criminal defense attorney who is experienced defending Texas sex offenses.

I'd have done everything. Been anyone. Changed everything. I'd have made myself be perfect. Why'd you have to ask me?
I've changed so much since we met that I can't remember why I fell in love with you.
I'm always going to win this game. I know. Does that bother you? Sometimes. When does it bother you? When it stops being fun. When what stops? The playing. When the playing stops being fun.
It's only in the last two minutes that people really say what they mean.


Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and they are sponsored by a local Rotary club. This makes them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary.
As one of Rotary's most significant and fastest-growing service programs, with a membership of over 200,000 and over 8,700 clubs in about 180 countries and geographical areas, Rotaract has become a worldwide phenomenon.
Rotaract clubs hold regular meetings, which feature speakers, discussions and visits to other clubs. Rotaractors also get together for service projects, social activities and leadership workshops. Clubs carry out at least one community service project and one international project each year, such as mentoring and tutoring children, organizing activities for people with disabilities, raising funds for medical equipment and disaster relief or creating awareness of AIDS, drug abuse and other issues.
Rotaract clubs also help build the leaders of tomorrow by organizing seminars, workshops and training sessions for their members on career choices, marketing and management, business ethics, technology, and other topics.

About locusts
Australian plague locust
History of locust and grasshopper outbreaks in Australia
Links to related websites
Spur throated locust
The migratory locust, Locusta migratoria, is mainly a pest in the Central Highlands of Queensland where small outbreaks are frequent. Outbreaks also occur in the western Darling Downs and Roma and St George areas in southern Queensland. Migratory locusts are primarily grass feeders, attacking pastures and crops such as sugarcane, sorghum, wheat, barley, oats and maize.
[expand all]
The migratory locust is a large, heavily built species of more 'blocky' appearance than the Australian plague locust or spur-throated locust.
It lacks the spur on the underside of the throat found in the latter species. Unlike the Australian plague locust the hind wings have no markings but may be faintly greenish-yellow in colour.
Adult - solitary form
Nymph - gregarious form
Body colouration varies according to population density from green to brown in the solitary form and straw in the gregarious form. The underside of the thorax is hairy. Adult males are 45-55 mm long and females are 55-65 mm long.
More images of this species can be found in the APLC Locust and grasshopper identification guide.
Biology and behaviour
Oviposition and egg development
The migratory locust often matures and lays eggs after rain, but will lay after several weeks even when the vegetation is drying off. Unlike the Australian plague locust, eggs of the migratory locust survive for only a short period in dry conditions. In central Queensland, the area most commonly infested with migratory locusts, winter temperatures are too high for eggs to enter a diapause stage, and diapause potential has not been demonstrated in Australia. Consequently, if the soil becomes dry after laying, survival of the eggs is poor and substantial mortality occurs unless rain falls at regular intervals throughout the year.
Like the Australian plague locust, the migratory locust lays its eggs in dense egg beds. Favoured egg laying sites include moist soil in areas of cultivation, silt beds resulting from erosion, creek beds or sorghum crops in silted areas.
Each egg pod contains 50 to 60 eggs and a single female may lay 3 to 5 egg pods during her lifetime. The eggs take about 11-15 days to develop depending on temperature.
At normal temperatures nymphs develop in about 30 days and undergo 5-6 moults before the adult stage is reached. However, in dry and cold weather development can take considerably longer.
When nymphs are present in large numbers they become highly gregarious and aggregate into dense, compact bands (up to 1500/m2) and display a characteristic marching movement. Bands can travel up to 500 m/day, depending on vegetation conditions.
Under normal summer temperatures adult migratory locusts live for about two months. They become sexually mature in about 14 days following fledging and at high densities usually form dense swarms.
Females are capable of laying an egg pod every 4 to 6 days. This species can develop rapidly when conditions are favourable and five to six generations are be possible in a year. Often these generations overlap and all stages of locusts may be present within a given area.
The migratory locust can migrate long distances but tends to do so less often than the Australian plague locust. Swarms in the Central Highlands of Queensland have at times moved as far westwards as Blackall, Barcaldine and Longreach, approximately 400 km away.
The migratory locust occurs in Africa, eastern Europe and Asia and it is a major pest of agriculture in many countries. The subspecies in Australia, Locusta migratoria migratorioides, is also found in Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea. Swarming populations of migratory locusts are mainly restricted to central Queensland, shown as persistent distribution in the map below, but intermittent populations may extend across parts of northern Australia and into northern New South Wales. Low density populations of this species are common in coastal or subcoastal areas of Queensland and northern New South Wales.

The holiday season officially kicks off this week. Are you ready? It's a busy time with the hustle and bustle of shopping, school plays, holiday parties, and family functions mixed into the "regular" schedule. It's a season that seems to evaporate as rapidly as it descends. However, Thanksgiving is a perfect time to stop for a moment and remember to give thanks.
Recently I head a story about an 8th grade teacher who was teaching her class this very concept. Each student writes down three negative things in their lives that they are thankful for, and then turns them into positives. For example "I am thankful for a messy house because that means I have a family at home." The teacher explained that their lists represent all the many burdens that we think we have that are actually blessings.
Another example is of a college professor who gave her class the assignment of creating a gratitude journal. For the semester, once a week, the students wrote down one to five things that they were grateful for. The entries ranged from the mundane, "waking up this morning," to the sublime, "the generosity of friends," to the timeless, "the Rolling Stones." Both teachers may not be Thanksgiving experts, but they offer us wisdom on thanksgiving (with a small "t").
These examples inspired me to start my own gratitude journal. Once I began, the list quickly grew.
I am thankful for the Barber National Institute staff who work tirelessly and compassionately with our children and adults 24/7 365 days a year.
I am thankful for all the possibilities that the new day brings.
I'm thankful for the insight and understanding that Ryan has provided me into the challenges facing a person living with autism.
I'm thankful that our city and state support our belief that children and adults with disabilities should be able to reach their full potential within their community and not in an isolated institution.
I'm thankful for Autism Speaks and the Autism Society of NA who advocate for children with autism on a state, national and international level.
I'm thankful for the staff who worked with Ryan these past 16 years. Regardless of the challenge he presented them, they came back for another day.
I'm thankful for researchers who are seeking the most effective methodologies for treating autism.
I'm thankful that we now have technology which enables nonverbal individuals to communicate.
I'm thankful for daily opportunities to see children improve the quality of their lives.
I'm thankful for family and friends who have supported Ryan and me over the years.
I'm thankful that I live in a country which condemns the use of the "R" word in talking about people with disabilities.
I am thankful that my son is enrolled in a training program doing landscape and maintenance and that he looks forward to working.
I'm thankful for those working to make sure that individualized education happens for all children.
I'm thankful for businesses, locally and nationally, who seek a diversified workforce and are open and willing to hire people with disabilities.
I'm thankful for open minded physicians that listen with understanding to concerns parents express.
It's naturally a time of year to reflect and give thanks, but this can also be the time when you lay the groundwork for giving thanks all year long. Start this holiday season, and if you do, I'm sure you'll feel a bit more energized throughout the year. I do already. Happy Thanksgiving!
I am thankful for the Barber National Institute and for Dr. Maureen Barber Carey and her tireless dedication to all of those with special needs, for writing this blog and for making dreams come true for so many children and their families!! Happy Thanksgiving….
Mary Beth, I am thankful for your dedication to the BNI and your life long commitment to meeting the needs of children with challenges. Your years of teaching made dreams come true for hundreds of children. Happy Holidays!
Sallie, you are a loyal supporter! Ryan was so fortunate to have you as a teacher. Happy Holidays!
Maureen this is a wonderful message, happy thanksgiving.
Thank you for your words of support. Happy Holidays!

5 of the Most Hilarious Celebrity Game Face Moments
By Allison Crist Sep 18, 2020 7:02 PMTags
FunnyJamie ChungRaven-SymonéShowsCelebritiesKevin HartThe Bradshaw BunchCelebrity Game FaceTerry Bradshaw
CATCH UP!
Watch: Terry Bradshaw Puts His Lip-Reading Skills to the Test
Just when you think Celebrity Game Face can't get any funnier, it does.
Thursday, Sept. 17's episode of the Kevin Hart-hosted E! special featured celebrity pairs Terry Bradshaw and daughter Rachel Bradshaw, Raven-Symoné and wife Miranda Maday and Jamie Chung and husband Bryan Greenberg.
Kevin and his wife Eniko Hart led the stars in a series of hilarious games—or as the comedian himself put it, "outrageous challenges designed to test their mind, body and soul"—promising the winning team money for the charity of their choice, as well as the giant, gold baby that serves as the Hart of a Champion trophy.
"Without it, what are we?" Kevin said of the infant-shaped prize that looks like him.
"Nothing," Raven responded very prophetically.
While those two went back and forth throughout the entire episode, Jamie and Bryan appeared to stay focused on winning.
Then there was The Bradshaw Bunch's Terry and Rachel.
Despite the NFL legend obviously having a competitive streak, all he really wanted was to find flattering light for his camera set-up.
That, and a "senior division" for the show: "We gotta hurry up here! I gotta take medicine."
Find out what else you missed by checking out all of the funniest Celebrity Game Face moments below!
12 Fascinating Facts About Terry Bradshaw
Fake Facts & Real Fears
As part of the game "Big Facts," in which each team reads a statement about themselves (a preferably non-illegal one, Kevin insisted) and the other teams have to guess if it's fact or fiction, Raven managed to stump her competitors big time.
"I have never popped a pimple in my life," she announced.
Surely no one would fall for that, right?
"Well maybe she's never had a pimple!" Terry chimed in, while Jamie theorized, "She probably pays someone else to do it for her!"
The statement turned out to be fiction, but when it came time for Terry to have a go at the game, he ultimately revealed that his statement about having a fear of parasailing is actually true!
Apparently, when Rachel (and Terry's other daughter, Erin) were little, the family tried out parasailing only to wind up in a scary situation.
"We're 300 feet in the air and the cord is unraveling...and we're floating in the air!" Terry recalled. "We crash into the ocean. I get caught in the kite. It's a scary thought people!"
#ChairGate
One minute Kevin was admiring Raven and Miranda's accent chair, and the next, said chair was flying across the room.
The chaotic moment can be traced back to the "Booty Shake" challenge that Raven was about to start until Kevin chimed in with the compliment. Not thinking of the potential consequences, Raven grasped the chair to seemingly steady herself while dancing.
"I'm gonna say no holding on to the chair..." Kevin said. And there went the chair.
"Technical! Technical!" Terry declared while everyone else yelled in response.
Raven wound up winning the challenge without the chair, but for Kevin, this was a teachable moment.
"As you can see babe, the tension is getting high," he told Eniko. "And that's what happens. You gotta remember what they're competing for. This is all for the Hart of a Champion trophy. So, guys, I understand why temperatures are flaring. I understand why chairs are getting thrown. Nobody doesn't wanna not have that trophy. It's a trophy that people need! I get it!"
Watch Raven-Symone Twerk it Out!
Pie Problems
The game that required teams to eat an entire pie (that Kevin claimed he made himself), all while using tiny doll hands, was doomed from the very beginning.
For starters, as Bryan announced, "Can I just point out that Terry already ate a slice?"
Then, Raven sparked what turned into an ongoing debate by commenting on the pie's appearance: "It looks dry."
Other references to the pie—some of which were made as she tried to eat as much as possible before the time ran out—included "It's called Crisco! Use some next time Kevin!" and "I like a buttery crust!"
Meanwhile, Terry nearly choked on a cherry stem.
Luckily everyone came out of the game unharmed.
Technical Issues for Terry
Unfortunately for the sports commentator, he never seemed to find the lighting he desired—even after trying the most creative camera positions.
"That's alright," Kevin told him. "When you get older, you just put your face close to the camera."
At one point, Terry asked if he could "Photoshop" his "lens," and sadly, none of his fellow competitors were able to offer any useful solutions.

The Awards Ceremony
And the Hart of a Champion trophy goes to...Jamie and Bryan!
While the couple actually loved the trophy, a single glance at the baby-shaped award prompted Terry to announce, "I am so glad we lost."
"I bet if you left that on your front porch, it'd be there 50 years from now," he added.
Congratulations Jamie and Bryan!

Beyond the Extraterrestrial Firewall
An Experiencers Point of View
Niagara UFO Experiencer Steve Boucher
Steve Boucher - Experiencer
Steve Boucher is an AutoCAD Draftsman who lives in St.Catharines, Ontario. He is also a musician, singer and fine artist. Steve has had experiences with non-terrestrial beings since he was a baby. The bulk of his experiences were buried in his subconscious mind for many years until he began to have brief flashes of conscious memory after reading Budd Hopkins' book 'Missing Time'. Steve then wrote to Budd Hopkins and informed him of the memories he was having. Budd then contacted Steve and invited him to come to New York and stay at his art studio in Manhattan for a week. Steve accepted the invitation and during that week in 1984, he underwent 3 hypnosis sessions which revealed that he had experienced repeated visitations from short grey-skinned beings approximately 4 feet tall with large eyes and large heads. After Steve returned to Canada, he went to a UFO Symposium in Toronto and met up with some people from a group known as CUFORN (The Canadian UFO Research Network). CUFORN has since disbanded, but they took over the case and did a thorough investigation of Steve's recalled incidents. They scheduled several more hypnosis sessions for him, at which they were present and published the results of the investigation in their CUFORN Journal. The case was also reported in the MUFON Journal and another publication known as Flying Saucer Review. To protect his identity at the time, CUFORN gave him a pseudonym (Jack T.) However, he has decided that now is the time to reveal his identity to the public because he feels that the story needs to be told. Steve has remembered many more details and more experiences have surfaced since the initial investigation took place.

The UK's offshore wind and wave generation industries could generate up to £70bn ($114.5bn)and up to 250,000 jobs if the country takes a "bold approach to commercialisation", says the Carbon Trust. To achieve this, the UK would need a comprehensive package of technology focused support including investment of up to £600 million in R&D, removal of regulatory barriers and new incentive mechanisms to accelerate deployment of offshore wind power around our coasts. According to the Trust's new study wind and wave generation alone could provide at least 15% of the total carbon savings required to meet our 2050 targets.


The Gucci vs. Guess trademark infringement trial continues. Quick summary: Gucci is suing Guess for roughly $221 million, claiming that Guess has utilized a massive trademark infringement scheme of Gucci's logo since 1995.
On the stand yesterday: Guess's chief executive officer Paul Marciano. He denied direct infringement of the Gucci logo but did say this: "This kind of pattern is common in the world of fashion and it's not particular to Gucci." That sounds like an affirmative defense to me, but oh well. Do you agree? Is the interlocking G fair game in the fashion industry or is it property of Gucci, which was founded in 1921? (Guess? was founded in 1981).
Gucci is not taking any of this lightly; the brand is known to police its trademark pretty seriously. Gucci's lawyer, Louis Ederer, referenced emails between Guess and footwear manufacturer Marc Fisher that indicated the two intended to copy Gucci's patterns for shoes. To further supplement Gucci's claim, Ederer presented previous cease-and-desist letters that Guess received from Coach, Jimmy Choo, Yves Saint Laurent, and Adidas for copying their designs.

Q: What are the differences between the RPG-7 and M2-CG, other than appearance? Both the RPG-7 and the M2-CG are anti-vehicle weapons for the Engineer, but as far as I can tell they act about the same.
Are there any differences between the two, and why would you prefer one over the other?

A: The CG has significantly larger blast radius and faster projectile speed, but it has lower total damage. It's much better against infantry, good against helicopters, but weaker against tanks and light armour.

Delta's passengers are paying more
by Chris Isidore @CNNMoney October 11, 2017: 3:43 PM ET
Hundreds stranded at Puerto Rican airport
What's good news for airlines is bad news for passengers: Passengers are paying more to fly.
Delta Air Lines (DAL) reported better than expected third quarter earnings, even though it took a $120 million hit to profits from the brutal hurricane season. Even better, as far as Wall Street is concerned, a key measure of how much money passengers spend with the airline climbed 2% in the quarter, even while fares are basically flat.
Delta's passengers spent more on things like baggage, ticket changes, seat upgrades and extra legroom.
And the airline said it expects passengers to continue to pay even more on average in the final three months of the year.
Related: Hurricanes will cost Southwest $100 million in revenue
The report comes the day after American Airlines (AAL), the nation's largest airline, issued an improved forecast for the third quarter despite the fact it took a $75 million hit from the hurricanes. The company said that it expects that passenger revenue to increase between 0.5% to 1.5% in the quarter, about a half-percentage point better than its earlier guidance.
And guidance from United Continental (UAL) said its passenger revenue fell 3.5% to 4%. But that was an improvement from its earlier guidance which warned it could fall as much as 5%.
Related: Delta flights to offer free in-flight texting
Airlines are benefiting by strong passenger demand for seats. Delta filled nearly 87% of its seats with paying passengers in the third quarter, up 1.5 percentage points from a year earlier.
Airline stocks rose Tuesday after the guidance from American and United, but slipped in early trading Wednesday following Delta's report.

When 3D casino www.WinADay.com launched earlier this year it promised to keep the new slot machines coming and they've certainly made good on that promise.
In October the unique online casino operated by www.Slotland.com introduced the new Heavenly Reels slot machine. This week the unique casino has added yet another one-of-a-kind game. With symbols that hearken back to gold rush days, Gold Boom is a 9-wheel, 6-pay line slot machine that offers free bonus spins, a progressive jackpot, and awesome payouts.
"Gold miners in the wild west kept themselves going by believing they could strike it rich any minute," said Ondrej Tuma of Slotland.com. "Slot machine players have that same feeling every time they pull the lever, so I think they're going to enjoy this new game!"

SEC says hedge fund hid losses from investors
WASHINGTON – Managers of Global Crown Capital LLC concealed double-digit trading losses from investors in a hedge fund they advised, according to proceedings brought Thursday by the Securities and Exchange Commission.San Francisco-based Global Crown sent misleading account statements to Cogent Capital Management hedge fund investors that falsely inflated the fund's performance, the SEC alleged. Cogent, begun in 2003, quickly experienced trading losses in excess of 20 percent, but fund managers Rani Jarkas and Antoine Chaya, both of San Francisco, concealed that from investors, according to the SEC.It claims the two padded Cogent's books with a $200,000 "reserve," yet didn't put any actual cash into the fund, and included the reserve in calculating quarterly returns on investors' capital. The SEC claims hedge fund investors' account statements understated actual trading losses by as much as 90 percent.The SEC said its proceedings will be brought for a hearing by an administrative law judge to determine whether remedial actions are appropriate.Kathleen Bisaccia, an assistant district administrator in the SEC's San Francisco office, said although Jarkas and Chaya eventually funded the reserve, it kept investors in the dark about the matter. She said the investors are entitled to know "exactly what is happening with their money," rather than get "spin" from the adviser.The hedge fund has about 70 clients and $30 million of assets under management, according to the SEC.An attorney for Jarkas and Chaya couldn't be reached immediately for comment.Vail, Colorado

Buddy Media is out with a new study that examines how marketers are using - and can better use - Twitter as a marketing tool. Between December 11, 2011 and February 23, 2012, the company took a look at how 320 large brands use Twitter. The study examined the Twitter account reply rate, retweet rate and engagement rate defined as a combination of replies and retweets mapped to an accounts number of followers.
The study found engagement rates to be 17% higher on Saturdays and Sundays but noted most brands don't tweet on weekends. Adding to that finding, the study revealed which days were best for particular industries. Weekends are best for clothing and fashion (only 12% of tweets occur but engagement rate is 30% higher); Sundays and Monday are best for entertainment (23% higher engagement rate); Saturday is best for publishers (only 7% of tweets occur but engagement rate is 29% higher than average); Weekends are best for sports (while 9% of brands tweet on Saturday, engagement rate is 52% higher on the weekend).
When brands tweet during busy hours, defined as 8AM - 7PM, they receive a 30% higher engagement rate than non-busy hours, defined as 8PM - 7AM. Interestingly, this is directly opposite the engagement rates of Facebook which receives a 17% higher engagement rate during non busy hours. The takeaway her is to stagger Twitter and Facebook maximizing Twitter during busy hours and Facebook during non-busy hours.
In terms of the length of a tweet, tweets less than 100 characters receive a 17% higher engagement rate then longer tweets. Tweets that contain links receive an 86% higher engagement rate but make sure your links work. 92% of links fail because a space was not inserted before the link.
While only 24% of tweets contain hashtags, those that do receive twice the engagement than those that don't. But be sure to limit the usage of hashtags because tweets using more than two showed a 17% decline in engagement.
Even though users can't see them without clicking, tweets with links to images garner two times the engagement rate than tweets without links to images.
Tweets that ask followers to retweet receive 12 times the retweet rate than tweets that do not ask for a retweet. Most brands ask for retweet using "please RT" but accounts that spell out the word retweet, receive 23 times the engagement rate.
Below is a Tweet Cheat Sheet that neatly places all the findings into actionable steps brands can follow to improve their Twitter ROI. You can download the entire report here.

'Stay tuned' for EU response to US sanctions on Iran
By Shona Murray • Updated: 05/11/2018
The EU has said observers should "stay tuned" in relation to how it will react to the Trump administration's decision to reimpose sanctions against Iran.
A European Commission spokesperson refused to comment saying "There are many different issues, I would not like to advance considerations etc. before events unfold."
The EU's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini issued a public statement last Friday saying the EU 'regretted' the decision by the US to reinstate the full panoply of sanctions removed from Iran in 2015, when the Iran nuclear deal was first entered in to.
At the daily press briefing in Brussels today, the spokesperson said "I won't go in to further details"
"Doesn't make sense for us to go further", but "this is a stay tuned moment."
The EU is working on the creation of a" special purpose vehicle" designed to facilitate legitimate trade between companies within the EU who wish to continuing trading with Iran.
Details of this are unclear, but those close to the talks say the terms of the alternate payment mechanism remain incomplete.
EU - Iran trade has tripled the three years since the removal of sanctions in 2015, from around €7 billion to over €21 billion.
However, some major European companies have already suspended operations with Iran for fear of consequences from the US administration which has warned it will impose secondary or extraterritorial sanctions against any company still trading with Tehran.
The EU says it is committed to maintaining the Iran deal, also known as the JCPOA (Joint Action Plan of Action) as it believes Iran has so far complied with its demands to scale back its nuclear program.
Efforts to dissuade US President Donald Trump from pulling out of the Iran deal by EU officials and leaders of key member states failed in the last year.
Mr Trump's decision to heavily load crippling sanctions on to the Iranian regime has been welcomed by the Israeli and Saudi governments.

Traces Of Katrina: New Orleans Suicide Rate Still Up Five years after Hurricane Katrina, trauma and stress still play a part in the emotional lives of New Orleans residents. The evidence: In 2008 and 2009, the suicide rate in Orleans Parish was twice as high as it was the two years before the levees broke.

< Traces Of Katrina: New Orleans Suicide Rate Still Up
August 30, 201012:00 AM ET
It's MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
And I'm Renee Montagne.
Today in "Your Health," a story about the psychological health of a city. Shortly after Hurricane Katrina hit, NPR's Alix Spiegel spent time in New Orleans, riding around in ambulances with Emergency Medical Service workers who were answering suicide calls.
For our coverage marking the fifth anniversary of the storm, Alix went back again and rode with the Orleans Parish EMS. In some ways, what she found was radically different; in other ways, sadly familiar.
ALIX SPIEGEL: On a recent Tuesday night, EMS worker Josh Bell glanced at the sky through the windshield of his van, then warned his colleague Nina Breakstone that rain was on the way. He pointed at the clouds. They looked dark. Breakstone, a 27-year-old training to be an ER doctor, was unimpressed.
Ms. NINA BREAKSTONE: Maybe it'll rain bullets. God, I hope so.
SPIEGEL: EMS shifts, you see, are 12 hours long - a slog. And interesting injuries make the time go faster. And so as they waited for a rain of bullets to save them from boredom, Josh and Nina and a trainee named Dave passed the time another way. Like thousands of New Orleans residents before them, they spent the night arguing about their favorite restaurants.
Ms. BREAKSTONE: Oh, Commanders, weekday brunch with the 25-cent martinis.
Unidentified Man #1: That's the only reason you're going, is the 25-cent martinis.
Unidentified Man #2: What?
Ms. BREAKSTONE: Martinis.
Unidentified Man #2: Get the - out of here.
Unidentified Man #1: Yes.
SPIEGEL: They argued about restaurants. Then they argued about bars. It was a very slow night. A man fell off his bicycle; another had trouble breathing. Finally, an interesting call came over the radio: a serious injury from assault. Nina perked up.
Ms. BREAKSTONE: Sweet.
SPIEGEL: But once they�got there, the scene was disappointing: a teenager complaining of a twisted ankle. Back in the van, Breakstone stared out the window, clearly frustrated.
Ms. BREAKSTONE: Saving lives - that's what we do.
SPIEGEL: Five years ago, my drive with EMS in a nearby parish could not have been more different. There was no talk of 25-cent martinis, no yearning for more exciting cases. The EMS workers I rode with were haunted. They told me they were seeing two or three suicide attempts a day. And even when the calls were routine, as Josh Bell says, it was impossible to escape Katrina.
Mr. JOSH BELL (EMS): Every time we encountered somebody in a patient-type relationship, it was: This happened to me during the storm or, you know, I haven't had my medications because I've been in some other city or, I just moved back from some other city where I was displaced, and I don't have any medical care.
SPIEGEL: But today, Bell doesn't hear about Katrina in the same way.
Mr. BELL: It's occasional. I wouldn't say it's frequent. I wouldn't even say it would be once a day. I mean, unless I bring it up to somebody, it's pretty rare.
SPIEGEL: Today, it's at least possible to live a life in New Orleans without constantly being confronted with the storm. But that doesn't mean that Katrina is gone.
Around 10 at night, Nina Breakstone tells this story. Recently, she was jogging near her home when she noticed a plaque a couple blocks from her house. It was the Vera memorial. Vera was a woman killed during Katrina whose dead body lay in the street for days before her neighbors finally decided they would bury her. Breakstone said she was shocked to see it there.
Ms. BREAKSTONE: I just - I'd been by this corner a thousand times. Like I said, it's all of three blocks from my house. And I never noticed that it's just - it's right there. So that's - I feel like that's what happens here. You don't think about Katrina. You don't notice Katrina and then all of a sudden, it's right next to you.
SPIEGEL: Twenty-five cent martinis are on offer at Commanders. Much of the city has been rebuilt, but traces of Katrina are still around. One of those traces, some people argue, is the suicide rate in Orleans Parish. In 2008 and 2009, the rate of suicide was about twice as high as it was the two years before the levees broke. The rate of suicides in Orleans Parish has basically doubled.
Ms. ELIZABETH LOGAN: Five weeks ago, my son had called me up. Usually when he calls, he, you know, says, hey, mama, how you doing? But that day, I could tell something was on his mind.
SPIEGEL: Elizabeth Logan is the mother of four boys, a small- business owner, a conscientious volunteer at her children's school. And her son Lonnie, who's 23, is also a conscientious person, the kind of son who calls his mother every day. But Elizabeth says since Katrina, Lonnie has been having a hard time.�Then, five weeks ago, he called her with more bad news. His best friend had committed suicide.
Ms. LOGAN: And he was saying, I just saw him, mama. I just saw him. We were supposed to go out and everything. And then he, you know, did this. So he cried. I mean, he cried for days, you know.
SPIEGEL: Now here's the thing about the suicide of Lonnie's friend:�It wasn't the first - not by a long shot.
Ms. LOGAN: This made the fourth one. A year after Katrina, you know, that's when he started losing friends - one every year since after the storm.
SPIEGEL: Three boys, one girl, four suicides. Now, it's always, always hard to know why someone commits suicide. And certainly, five years after Katrina, it would be impossible to pin blame on Katrina alone. At this point, it's multi-factorial.
But Elizabeth has her suspicions. She feels the stress of Katrina, and the altered circumstances it left behind, can take a toll.
Ms. LOGAN: You know, Katrina just changed everybody.
SPIEGEL: To make her point, Elizabeth points to her own son, Lonnie.
Ms. LOGAN: I know my son went from going to college and, you know, he was going to UNO, and then when the storm came, he had to transfer to LSU. But then he wasn't really concentrating, so he just got out, you know, because he couldn't concentrate because we all lived in a trailer. There was five of us living in one of those FEMA trailers. And he just felt that he needed to go to work, you know, to help us out, because we were struggling. I think that if it Katrina wouldn't have came, he would've graduated like all his other peers did.
SPIEGEL: Lonnie was always a sweet kid, Elizabeth says. But these days, her son is very clearly depressed. He very rarely leaves his home, except to go to work. The stress of everything - of reduced prospects, of lost friends - wears on him.
Ms. LOGAN: It's just eating him up. You know, it worries me because, you know, will he hurt himself, you know. And he says that sometimes he does think about it, but then he thinks about me and my husband and his brothers - you know, what would we do without him? You know. But I do worry about him. I just think he needs to talk to someone, you know, so he can get some relief.
SPIEGEL: But finding relief these days from a mental health professional in New Orleans isn't an easy thing to do.
Dr. JULLIETTE SAUSSY (Director, Medical Director, New Orleans EMS): There is still a lot of struggle that goes on here, and there's still a lot of brokenness. I mean, I'm reminded - every time this BlackBerry goes off, it's a reminder of somebody out there that's suffering.
SPIEGEL: This is Julliette Saussy. Saussy runs the Orleans Parish EMS. And every time someone in the city of New Orleans hurts themselves or someone else, the BlackBerry on her hip vibrates. It vibrates too often for Saussy. Saussy is not only the EMS administrator, but also a doctor who goes out at least once a week to take care of people. And she says that what's intensely frustrating about her work these days is that when she encounters someone who needs psychological help, there's almost nothing that she can do with them.
After the storm, the state closed Charity - its biggest public hospital - and also the adolescent mental health facility, and in the process, lost hundreds of mental health professionals and many psychiatric beds.
Dr. SAUSSY: We had a very robust mental health system here. It wasn't perfect, don't get me wrong. There was nothing perfect about the system. But it worked, and it worked for the people here. They had access to care. They don't have that anymore.
SPIEGEL: This, in Saussy's view, is part of the reason that the suicide rate in her parish continues to be twice as high as it was before the storm. It's not just that people are in pain. It's that there's almost nothing for them.
Dr. SAUSSY: Think it's a perfect storm. I think you subject people to terrible trauma, and then you take away all their mental health resources. What do you expect?
SPIEGEL: New Orleans, Saussy says, is better. There is no question about it. It's not the broken city it was five years ago. But the BlackBerry on Saussy's hip continues its buzzing - a small reminder that New Orleans still has a ways to go.
