text: Controversial Book Uses Genetics to Explain Western Dominance Print article Send a Tip by Nick Hallett 12 May 2014 post a comment A book claiming that genetics lies behind the rise of Western civilisation has been denounced as "racist" by some scientists. A Troublesome Inheritance by science writer Nicholas Wade says that there is mounting evidence of genetic variations within humanity, and this these variations can have cultural and civilisational impacts, the Times reports. Mr Wade, who wrote for the New York Times for 30 years before retiring two years ago, also says that human evolution continues to this day, rather than stopping shortly after stone age, as previously thought. "New analyses of the human genome have established that human evolution has been recent, copious, and regional," he writes. Examples of this change include lactose intolerance and the ability to live at high altitudes or cold climates. Although this part of the book has been relatively well received, his claims that there are genetic differences in terms of intelligence and behaviour, and that human history can be explained partly by genetics, have caused unease among some people. For example, Wade says that evidence from surname records shows that rich, entrepreneurial Europeans out-bred less able citizens during the Middle Ages, thus ensuring that Europe became more creative than other parts of the world. This eventually led to the Industrial Revolution, which laid the foundations for the modern world. "The rise of the West is an event not just in history but also in human evolution," Wade writes. Wade also writes that it was thanks to genetics that South Korea was able to heavily industrialise after the Second World War. He says that the genetic make-up of Koreans made them value hard-work, education, discipline and investment. Meanwhile, Ghana, which had a similar economy at the end of the Second World War, stagnated. American statistician Andrew Gelman has denounced this part of the book as "racist". Gelman said: "Wade does not characterise himself as a racist, writing, 'no one has the right or reason to assert superiority over a person of a different race.' "But I characterise his book as racist based on the dictionary definition: 'a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race'. "Wade's comments about creativity, intelligence, tribalism seem to represent views of superiority and inferiority." In a review for the Spectator, however, Ed West writes that objections to Wade's theories are based more on political rather than scientific concerns. He writes: "This book's ideas are indeed fraught but beyond carefully explaining the dangers of misusing science, the consequences are not for scientists to ponder, but rather lawmakers and others of influence; they can choose either to consider the evidence and make things work as best as they can, using what knowledge we have, or they can continue to ignore the ticking of Darwin's unexploded bomb, punishing anyone who raises the subject." However, Viscount Ridley, another science writer, says in today's Times that genetic selection would be far too slow to explain the Industrial Revolution: "Yes, there would have been genetic change in European society as certain types of personality had more offspring. But surely this was not anywhere near fast enough and large enough an effect to spark the Industrial Revolution."

Ayurveda Pura Use Holistic Approach To Spa Treatments
Know anything about Ayurveda? We didn't either until we visited South East London spa Ayurveda Pura. Using the ancient Indian holistic medical system staff treat clients based three different body types, which it's believed we all inhabit to various degrees - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. As a result each individual is provided with a tailored approach when they walk in the door, combining massage treatments, nutritional recommendations, herbal remedies and detoxification to promote happier and healthier living. We tried the Abhyanga 1 hour Full Body Massage, which aims to improve lymph flow, stimulate the immune system, detoxify, strengthen and revitalise the entire nervous system. Different from the usual massage, sweeping figure of eight movements are used to cover the body and there is a lot of oil involved - luckily there are shower facilities for after the treatment - and a cafe for a refreshment before you leave.

His sudden death in a car accident Saturday afternoon stunned fans and colleagues and now fellow famous faces are taking to Twitter to mourn and remember Paul Walker.
At around 3:30pm, a vehicle driven by a friend crashed and was engulfed in flames when police arrived. The driver and the "Fast and Furious" star were pronounced dead at the scene.
Making the most of the Thanksgiving Holiday, some of our favorite stars took to Twitter to post photos of their family celebrations.
Kate Upton helped to depict the sleep-inducing properties of tryptophan, a chemical contained in Turkey. She uploaded an image of her family passed out on around the room, along with the caption, "Post Upton Thanksgiving."
Taking time away from their self-titled MTV reality series, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley enjoyed a few laughs during a photoshoot for Buzzfeed.
The besties struck a few poses for the photographers as famous pairs in pop culture.
After getting voting off "Dancing with the Star," Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is finally getting started on plans for her big wedding day.
The pint-sized reality star took to her Instagram account on Wednesday (November 6) to pose with a bride's must-have item to planning. "Got my little notebook, starting to plan my wedding day," she captioned the pic.
It's one of the most beloved holidays of the year, and Halloween brought out some wild and crazy creativity in our favorite stars.
And while there was a surplus of sexy and scary costumes this year, GossipCenter has identified ten of the most memorable disguises.
She's received more than her fair share of criticism over the years, and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has apparently learned how to let it roll off her back.
The "Jersey Shore" starlet was targeted by Colorado Morning News radio host Steffan Tubbs on Tuesday (October 29), as he called her "f**king ugly" when he thought his microphone was muted.
Week seven of "Dancing with the Stars" gave fans another shocking elimination, as Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and her pro partner Sasha Farber had to hang up their dancing shoes.
The shocked "Jersey Shore" alum was in tears as she was asked to say a few words after the decision was announced, "I just love everyone here," she said simply.
Hitting the red carpet for their signature Halloween gig in New York City, former "Jersey Shore" starlets, Nicole Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley attended the Snooki and JWoww Halloween Event: "Night Of The Living Drag."

God save the umpires from UDRS! The probing eye of technology has been a part of cricket for quite some time now, but things have never been as bad as this for these gentlemen, who have been entrusted with the job of controlling the game. Ask Daryl Harper how it feels to have your decisions overruled over and over again. On Thursday, he perhaps felt like a dummy standing in the middle of a road under neon lights and without any protection, as vehicles zipped past, ever eager to hit him with a ruthless force.
Every time the teams wanted a review, Harper's heart must have skipped a beat. It was just not his day, as he kept crossing his chest, with the hawkeye-inspired third umpire telling him that he was wrong. Every time that happened, he must have hated his job, which, before the UDRS happened, looked so glamorous.
If one of the best umpires in the game is left feeling completely exposed, spare a thought for lesser mortals. Blame it on the UDRS if, after the World Cup, some of these blokes decide to call it a day. These gentlemen are set to become the biggest casualty of this World Cup.
If Harper was made to look stupid by Pakistan and Canada on Thursday, Billy turned out to be really silly in India's match against England. When the ball was pushed back in his court, Billy Bowden, the genial New Zealander, had to stick to his earlier decision. It was perhaps an ego thing for him. The rule says if the point of impact is over 2.5m from the stumps, the hawkeye is considered unreliable and therefore ineffective. In that case, why was the hawkeye brought into use in the first place? Why was path of the ball traced on the tram-lines, and shown to thousands inside the stadium on the giant screen and millions outside on the small screen?
Mahendra Singh Dhoni had a point when he fumed against Bowden's decision, but then no umpire would want to overrule his own verdict. If he sits down to introspect, Bowden might declare Ian Bell out, but at that moment, he had to show to the world that he was standing up for his initial decision.
This of course, would revive the debate on whether umpiring decisions in cricket should be left to technology, or whether human errors should continue to be part of the game.
Have these men in floppy hat at the non-striker's end and at the square-leg outlived their utility? Should we just leave their job to the third umpire, a portly man far away from the scene of action and heavily dependant on television?
Perhaps we are going towards a state when the on-field umpire will become obsolete. As such, the combination of human and technology has rendered the former very vulnerable. The Bowdens and Harpers might well be some of the last quality representatives of their tribe. Who would want to become an umpire, knowing that his decision stands to be overruled? Who would want to be a sitting duck, like Harper was on Thursday? Technology will only improve with time, making the umpires even more vulnerable. Their confidence has taken a huge beating. Technology has devoured many a profession and cricket umpiring might just join this list.

Hollins Defeats ODAC Rival Sweet Briar
|Sweet Briar, VA - Hollins University Soccer at Sweet Briar College, October 9, 2013
Wednesday night saw the annual meeting of ODAC rivals as Hollins traveled to Sweet Briar for their much anticipated soccer game. Hollins came into the matchup looking for their second conference win in order to move one step closer towards gaining a berth to the season ending ODAC Tournament while Sweet Briar was looking for their first conference win of the season.
After having to postpone their game against Bluefield College due to weather, Hollins took the field for the first time since a home loss to Washington and Lee last Tuesday. Hollins got just what they were looking for by scoring the games first goal less than six minutes after the opening kick. Dani Franklin (Chesapeake Beach, MD) beat the Vixen keeper to give Hollins a quick 1-0 lead. 20 minutes later Hollins added to their lead when leading scorer Becca Logan (Culloden, WV) once again put the visitors on the board and they carried the 2-0 lead into the halftime break. Hollins dominated play in the Sweet Briar zone and enjoyed a 10-2 shot lead during the first half.
Both teams had settled in and the opening stages of the second frame was evenly played. At the 60 minute mark, Hollins enjoyed another quality scoring chance. Logan once again got loose behind the Vixen defense and hammered a shot into the back of the net for a 3-0 lead. A little later in the half, Hollins made their lone mistake of the game as the ball got behind the Hollins keeper. The 3-1 score held up as Hollins came away with a much needed win over their rivals.
Logan netted a pair of goals on five shots and Ashton Holliday (Lewisburg, WV) added three shots. Franklin scored her second goal and eighth point of the season. Megan McKee (Madison, AL) stooped three Sweet Briar shots in picking up the win in goal.
Hollins will go for two in a row as they play host to Randolph College on Saturday afternoon at 2:00pm. With a win over the WildCats, Hollins would be in position to secure berth in the ODAC Tournament.

MELVILLE, La. (AP) - Citizens of the small St. Landry Parish community of Melville are planning a final effort to save the town's ferry service, which is scheduled to end Dec. 31.
A rally for those who would like to keep the ferry running across the Atchafalaya River will be held at 10 a.m. Nov. 23 on the steps of the Louisiana State Capitol.
The Melville ferry is one of four targeted for closure by the state's Commission on Streamlining Government in an effort to cut about $5 million in expenses.
While closing down the Melville Ferry may save money, Melville's Mayor-elect Willie Haynes tells The Daily World that it would also cause a hardship for citizens who depend on it every day.

Was the Sensation fixed?
Greetings from the world of ICS on Amaze 4G. You don't have to root, you don't have to unlock. Just install the RUU image in the usual way from the leak that is floating around. There are plenty of instructions out there if your were looking for the same, I just want to update you on the Bluetooth situation. I don't want to be responsible for bad choices and voided warranties etc.
Whatever you do, don't look for RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.1_Radio_1.14.550L.17D C_30.78.550L.15_release
So, it's not the kind of range that BT is capable of, but I am now able to put the phone in my right pocket with the headset in my right ear and only hear a little bit of static. Before, the headset would just simply disconnect.
Indoor range is about 10 feet (up from 5),
After serveral hours of near-constant hammering, the bug list is quite manageble and mostly cosmetic (the merging of Sense and ICS is sometimes imperfect).
Off-Topic Issues
Gmail Notifications will appear on your status bar but when you bring it down, it may not be there for you to select. This is flixed by updating the Gmail Client...easy.
Wifi seems more responsive (this is not scientific). The old implementation would disconnect or timeout for long periods that would just act like you had a slow connection. In fact it was no-connection that would eventually reconnect. This has to do with the sleep/wake state of driver. In any case, it *seems* more responsive.
Somtimes the notification bar will render landscape length in portait mode. Just rotate the phone with the notification bar down and it will clear right up.
The phone call on my daily drive did not do it's daily drop in certain spots like it did. I think it does a little better with pulling-in weak signals.
5 signal bars instead of 4 in the notification bar. Hey, an upgrade is an upgrade.
In my un-professional opinion, it's so much better and cooler that the current firmware that there is no reason not to push this. It does appear to cause major problems and gets you on-board with ICS.

Chattanooga mother charged in beating death of 4-year-old son
jjester, I just saw this on the news and agree this is an AWFUL tragedy. I try hard not to let my emotions get in the way of things and try to go by the facts. I do hope they both pay for what happened to these children and potcat, I am not foolish I just choose to be a bit more sure before accusing someone of something they didn't do as it does happen all the time. I do however retract my earlier statement and hope justice is served for both of these horrible people.
Chattanooga mother charged in beating death of 4-year-old son
Hey potcat were you there??? Do you know these people personally?? I read the story and it clearly states they do NOT believe this woman was present when this occurred also have you ever known someone that was beaten by a spouse or significant other that you would have never guessed would have done something like that? Rethink your ignorant and uninformed statement because there is a GOOD possibility this woman had no idea what was happening when she wasn't in the home. You were probably one of those people who had Matthew Palmgren convicted in your mind as well, we all see how that turned out. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot and you were the one people were sitting around judging without knowing the facts.
Chattanooga mother charged in beating death of 4-year-old son
I can only hope that he will get what's coming to him in prison and we won't have to waste tax dollars keeping him there. Worthless trash should be beaten the same way he did that poor innocent child.... I am all for an eye for an eye when it comes to hurting children. I feel for the poor woman I hope the other child comes out of this ok.
East Ridge Police searching for runaway teen
Can always count on you rolando to make the most absurd comments, really? From that tiny bit of information you gathered SHE MUST be on drugs. You know nothing about this girl and for all you know she has been abused or neglected. I am all for speaking your mind but that is just inappropriate and ignorant!!!! Think before you type next time.
Multiple fights at 807 Fire and Ice club in Chattanooga prompt city investigation
Well Lr103 I took the liberty of checking the young men out that were arrested over this incident and not surprising between the 3 of them they were on this very website under the right2know section for a total of 13 arrests between them. I think they probably have a pretty good reason to focus on this story also the fact that, that particular building has had countless clubs in it all with chaos ensuing inside. Personally I think this building should not be a club it is causing the stand up businesses around it undue bad publicity and it appears lives. If I recall correctly the last big story about this place was about someone getting in a fight at the club then being followed home and murdered.
Train deaths continue to raise questions
rolando I love how you always think your information is so informative and accurate. I personally don't care WHY they continue to report on this, only that they find out what happened to those poor kids.Isn't that or SHOULDN'T that be the most important thing?

When the Honda CBR600F got fuel injection, it also had its personality split. From this point on, two Honda CBR600s would run concurrently: the Honda CBR600F and the Honda CBR600FS (now superseded by the Honda CBR600RR). One a sporty all-rounder, the other, a full-on sportsbike. The Honda CBR600F was, and remains, a brilliant motorcycle with real power and excitement but with the added practicalities to make it a contender for just about anyone's garage.
Some reckon the Honda CBR600F's engine is very slightly lacking in midrange but, for the average rider, there's a lot of very useable power. The fuel injection can make for juddery starts on cold mornings but, once up to temperature, it's as smooth as a baby's bum. To coin a massively-used but highly appropriate (in this instance) cliché: it's bullet-proof.
Fully adjustable suspension means customising the ride to your needs is a doddle. As it is, the Honda CBR600F handles beautifully. It lacks the razor sharp edginess of the Honda CBR600RR or other rivals but it's still an absolute corker. Loads of power, plenty of torque but forgiving of the odd wrong gear or rider hiccup: it's a ball to ride. The brakes are ok but may be a bit spongy on older models.
Dual seat, grab rail, centre stand… It sounds like a roll call for a big, dull tourer but the Honda CBR600F has them all, running alongside its sportier credentials. The dash is clear and clean with a fuel gauge, clock and digital speedo. Mirrors are good and there's enough room under the seat for some waterproofs. Extras available include luggage and heated grips.
Great finish and legendary reliability mean Honda CBR600F owners spend more time riding their motorcycles and less time covered in oil in their garages, trying to fix the bloody things. Even older models, well kept, look pretty spotless and the engines just keep on going.
There's no shortage of Honda CBR600Fs around, in all their guises, but they last and last well. They also hold their value fairly well, which is pretty unusual for a ubiquitous machine. The Honda CBR600F is a lot cheaper than rival 600s and, although it lacks their utterly balls-out performance, its everyday usability works in its favour for many buyers.

I have owned this from new, now 9 years old. Apart from consumables, only header pipes have been changed to stainless steel. Makes 93bhp on dyno, and does 12 second quarters at santa Pod, so not much slower than newer ones. Have done trackdays, mostly ridden hard on sunny days, no breakdown in 9 years. Still on original battery, clutch, brake lines and shocks. Strengths: Cheap running cost, even the insurance is £75 a year. superb reliability, build quality is excellent. Weaknesses: Lots about, but being this good its to be expected.

cbr600fsport 04
This is my first bike and I think it was the right choice. It's looks and styling are great, in my view anyway. It's not too heavy either, which is a plus for me as I'm female. I'd recommend this bike as a first bike for anyone, only thing is the brakes don't seem that good, but as I've only ever ridden a zx7r about a mile up the road I have nothing to compare it with. Strengths: Handling, looks, speed. Weaknesses: Brakes.
12 April 2006
Spot on
Brought the cbr after my triumph was stolen. Comparing the two, the only thing the triumph wins on, is exhaust noise, but then you can buy an end can for that. Like the tt600, love the cbr f sport. My friend has an 600rr and I can keep up with him, spot on bike! Strengths: Handling, speed, style. The fact that you don't feel as if your being thrown over the handlebars like on the rr and r6. Weaknesses: Brakes not as good as the rr.
01 April 2006
CBR600F3 with Honda double bubble and datatool from new.
Had not ridden any sort of bike for some years went on a test ride on the FS model and was hooked. It has got to be the easiest bike I have ever ridden. A few weeks (and lots of research) later, back to the same dealers (Dobles), a new bike was bought - very surprised wife. I did squeeze them on the bike price, but I bought a lot of kit. I've added a hugger and mini indicaztors. Here I am now a Honda convert. Any way bike only done 4K miles or so, but refuses to use oil or anything else. I've ridden it 'on the throttle stop' until a full tank of fuel used, lots of two up riding, dodging the dispatchers (and everyone else) in London, and just lazy riding - it just does everything. Strengths: All round ability and quality product. To be honest, a very good first bike. Weaknesses: You will probably out grow it eventually. I need something capable of long distance two up touring - it will do this job well, but there are just better suited bikes out there.
01 March 2006
Bought this bike less than a week ago, so far im really pleased!
I wanted one since I was about 15 when I got a shot on the back of a 1993 model and I'm am not in the least bit disappointed. Strengths: It's a bit early to say what it's strengths are, but I think it looks so cool, mine has a red black and white color scheme. My last bike was a cbr 400 ,so you can imagine how pleased I am with how this bike performs. Weaknesses: The only thing I dont like, is the fact that you have to take the side panels off to get under the seat! I'd rather just open it up with a key, but its no big deal.
20 February 2006
Bought 2nd hand for first bike, 11000 miles and in mint condition 3 years ago.
Bike is so far been fantastic. Looks and drives gr8 too. Havent driven any other bikes apart from a cb500, so I guess it ain't no comparison. Strengths: Reliability, looks, comfort, and acceleration. Weaknesses: No petrol gauge or clock, brakes are sufficient but could be a lot sharper.
25 July 2004
My Review
Well what can I say, it's my first bike. It's fast, comfortable over long distances, good solid & reliable. It's only just let me down once just recently, with a defective speed sensor, which I have been told is a rare fault, but expensive to repair £200! inc. vat & labour. All in all I think I'll be having another one shortly when Honda get some more in stock!
05 September 2003
What a peach of a bike. It's bullet proof! I commute to work on it every day and tear around tracks at silly speeds. What other bike would fit both roles so well? Also looks and sounds the business in black and silver with race can.
18 July 2003
It's a Canadian import in purple and yellow.Quite unusual as I don't see too many around. I love the way I can through it into corners and it sticks to the road as a sports bike should.
06 July 2003
A bit tall for me so have had to lower front and rear. bike handles like a dream and is well sorted in Liverpool heavy traffic. Out on the motorway I clocked 161.75, mate followed with a busa and show wot u done fitted. Side pods and fairings easy to remove to service the bike. Hugger still lets crud fling up and makes a mess. Pitted forks on the paint is a pain, other than that I love this bike. People say look at the cbr wow. a superb powerful all rounder and is my best mate.

Obstetric services depend on the transfusion service (TS) to provide diagnostic testing and blood component therapy for clinical care pathways.We describe three quality improvement (QI) initiatives implemented to improve TS support of obstetric services.We implemented a pathway for patients requiring an ABO/Rh order for every admission to obstetric services, along with reconciliation of the daily hospital birth manifest and TS umbilical cord log to identify every woman eligible for RhIG. After assessment over 6 months, 21 (1%) of 2041 women lacked an admission ABO/Rh; all subsequently had ABO/Rh determinations. Umbilical cords were missing for eight (0.4%) mothers; four were D- and received RhIG. We developed algorithms for diagnostic blood ordering for patients deemed at "low,"moderate," or "high" risk of blood transfusion. A 27% reduction in total diagnostic test volumes and 24% reduction in charges was documented after compared to before implementation. We analyzed the impact of our massive transfusion protocol (MTP) on blood inventory management for 31 (0.25%) women undergoing 12,945 deliveries, representing 11% of 286 MTPs for all clinical services over a 32-month interval. O- uncrossmatched red blood cells (RBCs) represented 103 (24%) of 421 RBC units issued. Wastage rates of RBCs, plasma, and platelets ordered and issued in the MTPs were 0.7, 16, and 3%, respectively.QI initiatives for RhIG prophylaxis, diagnostic blood test ordering, and MTP improve TS support of obstetric services.

November 2014 –
Motor is running again. Michael brought his Mazda compression tester and we got some results on a weak battery. Both rotors are with in spec (Front @ 231 rpm & Rear @ 244 rpm below)
The first video shows a rear exhaust (Nov 2014) I'm experimenting with to keep under 100 dB, to meet Youngtimers cup rules. The second video from 2008 is the same rear exhaust which had burned out internally. It has now been repacked and you can definitly hear the difference. I plan to dyno the engine once again, so I can compare this exhaust to others I have used in the past.

Progress on the rear over fenders
The under body, engine bay and cabin are finished with the final coat of white. Came out pretty nice until I made a bad decision to give some missed areas a touch-up. The over spray really changed the nice first coat .. live and learn! So I'll decided just to move forward, it a race car. Now I need to make some extra rear over fenders…

A few laps later, the 4th place car spun in a blind right hand corner. Although avoiding a collision, we did make contact with the wall with the left rear tire but moved up to 4th place overall. During the next lap, the car behavior changed and a lap later, entering the chicane I had a big crash. The race was over for us. Very disappointing. photos from Lars Krall.. many thanks!

18/05/13 – First heat started late Saturday. We had a bad start… my fault. I couldn't see the starting lights. We did survive the first corner incident involving three cars. For the restart, we were moved back two positions because the officials use lap times and not race position, this was disappointing because we had moved up the ladder. Again for the restart, I was unable to see the starting lights. During the remainder of the race, we had a comfortable pace in 5th position until the last lap, where we gained a spot up to 4th overall. Photos from Denner photo and unknown

24/03/13 – For 2013, Rush motorsports will once again work together with A.K. Iversen A/S as a primary sponsor. A.K. Iversen A/S has been a successful family business for the past 69 years, specializing in Plastic Injection Molding & Tooling. For more information: http://www.ak-iversen.dk
01/01/13 – Latest news for the teams of Yountimers. We have been invited to race at the Classic Race Aarhus event. This is very exiting for us and our partners. For more in formation: http://www.craa.dk
03/09/12 – Our Second race at Jyllands-Ringen. I would have to sum it up as positive but not what we had hoped for.
During Saturday's first training, we quickly ran into a problem. We were unable to run wide open due to a unexpected boost cut, in the higher rpm's. A bit of a disappointment, we qualified 13th out of 36 cars. Adjustment for the first race made the boost cut worse but surprisingly, we were able to finish the race with a 9th place position. Late Saturday night, we made the final decision and changes to the car, that we hoped would eliminate the boost cut for the second training. Sunday was a rebirth for us. Our changes were working and we qualified 3rd.. we were back in business!
Race day on Sunday, our Mazda got a great start and moved up to 2nd. This was short lived and we fell back to 3rd. We stayed there for a while until the car behind us, gave me a ever so lightly tap in the rear… we slid back again to 4th and that's were we finished. The weekend was over for us..we were very pleased to have solved the problem and go home with some decent points. BUT…That was until we and two other teams battling for 4th, were called up and later given a 20 second penalty for yellow flag infraction. Our final position was dropped to 9th. Clip of the yellow zone infraction.
30/5/12 – Press release (motorsporten.dk) in Danish. We say thanks for a good weekend at Ring Djursland, which ended with a podium position. Read it here.
21/05/12 – Our first race for 2012 is over. It was a fantastic weekend with good weather and high results. Early morning test, we were able to bed in our new front and rear pads provided by Carbotech and get a feel for the new Stance coilovers. First qualifying the track was wet and we decided to run rain tires which was a mistake as the track dried quickly midway. First laps we were in the top 4 but soon dropped to 8th, to those who chose slicks. Second qualifying, on a dry track, we climbed to the top quickly setting pole position, two seconds quicker than last year even though we have + 85 kilo's. The new brake and suspension really worked well together. First heat, starting 8th out of 28 cars. We were hit hard in the first turn by another car avoiding an incident. Now unable to run with the front pack, we were able to move up the ladder and finish a respectable 4th place over all. Second heat, starting from pole position. coming in to the first corner we were bumped from behind but this time we held position until the third corner were we slipped to second position. On the final lap we had secured second place, just one second behind the leader. A fantastic weekend which we thank to our loyal sponsors and team.
04/05/12 – After waiting 6 months, our 3 way Stance coilovers have arrived. Big thanks to our associate sponsor www.autornd.com We now have two weeks to prepare the car for our first race in 2012.

- Release Date: Jul 8, 2005
- Starring: Damien Nguyen, Dang Quoc Thinh Tran, Ling Bai
- Summary: Bui doi - "less than dust" - is a slur aimed at Vietnamese children with American fathers. This film, set in 1990, relates the odyssey of a young "bui doi" as he escapes Vietnam, endures refugee camp, and survives a brutal ocean crossing and indentured servitude with a human-trafficking ring. Nevertheless, he manages to keep hope, humanity, and a generous spirit alive as he searches for connection with his long-lost family. (Sony Pictures Classics)… Collapse

Score distribution:
Positive: 18 out of 23
Mixed: 4 out of 23
Negative: 1 out of 23
The script, by newcomer Sabina Murray, is occasionally cloying as the naive hero falls for a bitter prostitute (Bai Ling), but its epic tale of two cultures tragically entwined is anchored by deep and elemental emotions.
Generous in spirit and fearlessly observant, this tale of an outcast Vietnamese man's journey to freedom deserves a place of honor among the great films portraying emigrant tenacity.
The film achieves its power through a careful gathering of crucial details, in wordless glances, cruelties of nature and of man and the relentless determination to gain the promised land.
It is hard not to admire the independence and ambition of The Beautiful Country, even if the film does fall short of its epic intentions.
Bai Ling plays a resourceful prostitute from a Malaysian refugee camp who grows harder and more alienated by the day. Nick Nolte, Tim Roth and Temuera Morrison offer strong supporting performances.
Feels like a manufactured Asian "Chocolat," which drives the label 'art house movie' even further into mainstream banality.

This attache holds my computer nicely and offers adequate protection, but it's not a good product if your computer is going to be subjected to big drops and rough handling.

DICE just wanted to let you know that Battlefield 4 is still broken
I don't think I've been more disappointed in a recent release than Battlefield 4. After weeks of dealing with audio sync issues, obscene lag despite my solid connection, single player save wipes, server issues, and more on Xbox One and PS4, I really lost a lot of faith in DICE and EA as a whole (although EA has successfully launched Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and Titanfall in conjunction with Microsoft since then).
So it saddens me to hear that Battlefield 4 is still having issues even now, and the latest snafu is "rubber banding on 'certain' platforms." DICE is deploying "more hardware" to fix this issue with better servers, so if you've been having trouble, expect fix soon.
Although with Battlefield 4, I imagine the patching process like an old timey cartoon, where someone tries to plug a hole in a boat and two more appear. It's noble that they're still attempting to fix their game that's been broken since launch, but I hope Battlefield 5 is a lot smoother than this...

In recent years, some companies engaged in property development have chosen to temporarily assign certain property to rent assets, while not find a buyer, to get some return on the investments made.
Therefore, these companies have changed the accounting classification of these assets in stocks or investment property, plant and equipment and therefore when they managed to sell these assets have been credited the tax credit for reinvestment of extraordinary profits (if reinvested the sale price obtained) in order that the profits from its sale are taxed at 18% instead of 30%.
One of the requirements of this deduction is that the assets are transferred must have been in the property, investment property or intangible, have been allocated to an economic activity and have been in operation at least one year within the preceding three transmission.
Well, this accreditation deduction is being seriously challenged by the tax inspection and by the courts, so the promoter companies should take special care to ensure that this deduction proves applicable to them. The arguments used by the Tax Inspectorate and the courts to deny the applicability of this deduction, are:
- The purpose of the deduction. They believe that the purpose of the deduction is to encourage companies renewing their productive business assets; fact is not satisfied that these operations given the weak links of the assets transferred to the production process of the company.
- The active involvement of the business of leasing property. They believe that no leasing activity beyond the occasional holiday, temporarily scarce and economically irrelevant part of the property as they prepare for sale.
- The actual destination of the asset. They believe that the will of these companies is the sale of real estate assets, the lease being a transient destination.
- The accounting qualification. They consider that the classification of tangible assets or investment property does not depend on more or less time they have been in the equity of the company, but the true destination in relation to their participation in the production process. Therefore, consider the transferred assets must be classified as inventory not being linked to the company permanently.
- The accounting performed. Consider the fact that an asset is accounted for in one way or another does not change the nature of things, it is not the accounting that determines the substantive treatment of a transaction. Therefore, although these assets appearing on accounting as plant and equipment or investment property does not automatically allow these companies to be accredited this deduction.
In conclusion, all taxpayers who find themselves in this situation should seek to strengthen those requirements that allow you to establish the best possible rating of these assets as plant and equipment or investment property.

Dental Continuing Education seminars
Dental continuing education seminars are now being offered by Sleep Group Solutions at various times and locations and will allow your practice to begin practicing the screening, diagnoses and treatment of sleep apnea.
You can check the online site for current seminars, time and locations convenient for you. The types of sleep apnea you will be able to recognize and treat will include mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and primary snoring. Many people are now relying on their dentist to help them with their sleep apnea and are particularly excited about the type of treatment options dentists can offer. These treatments include custom fitted oral appliances which are designed to keep the jaw in a forward position during sleep which keeps the air passageways open and keeps the soft tissues and tongue from collapsing into the airway. The recommended treatment in your practice for sleep apnea will be the use of these oral appliances which are simply like a dental retainer or sports mouth piece and are so much less restrictive then past traditional treatments. Many of these new oral appliances allow the patient to move, speak and even drink while wearing them. The custom fitted designs have gained the most popularity and at the dental continuing education seminars we will demonstrate the SilentNight, TAP, Respire and ENA.

Community meeting about attack, sex assault of girl, 15, on NW Side
BY TINA SFONDELES Staff Reporter December 18, 2013 8:18PM
A 15-year-old girl was found beaten and sexually assaulted Tuesday in the backyard of a Northwest Side home. The resident said he discovered the bloody scene and called 911 immediately. | Mitch Dudek~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: December 19, 2013 1:29AM
Belmont-Cragin residents will meet Thursday to discuss safety in the neighborhood reeling from the gruesome attack and rape of a 15-year-old girl Tuesday morning as she walked to a bus stop to get to school.
The 6:30 p.m. meeting at the Northwest Community Church in the 5300 block of West Diversey will address community safety concerns, according to Ald. Ariel Reboyras (30th).
The teen left her home about 6 a.m. Tuesday, en route to the bus she was taking to her high school, when she was hit in the head, dragged into a yard in the 2400 block of North Long and sexually assaulted. A man shoveling snow found her in his yard about 8 a.m.
She suffered severe head injuries and underwent surgery. It's unclear whether the girl has been able to provide detectives with a description.
No arrests have been made in the case.
Reboyras said the meeting, organized by the community group Northwest Side Housing Services will address safety measures and will allow residents to have questions answered. Reboyras said he'll be in attendance, as well as a police commander and detective.
"I think we need to work hard so we can get the communication rolling on this so we don't wait for anything like this to happen again," Reboyras said.
The attack happened less than a block from a CPS Safe Passage route and the area is home to at least four schools.
Meanwhile, an administrator at the victim's school addressed parents and students in a letter Wednesday.
"This is a terrible incident and we are all deeply saddened that a member of our . . . family was the victim of such an awful attack," the administrator said in the letter.
The school is not releasing any information about the student or incident, pending the police investigation. And the family has also requested privacy, the letter reads.
The Sun-Times is not publishing the name of the school to protect the victim's privacy.
"Please keep our student and family in your thoughts and prayers," the letter said.

PHARR, Texas (AP) - Texas authorities say a U.S. missionary fatally shot in the head in Mexico and driven to the border by her husband may have been targeted because of the couple's expensive pickup truck.
Pharr police chief Ruben Villescas said Thursday that pickup trucks such as the 2008 Chevrolet driven by Nancy and Sam Davis are coveted by criminal organizations in Mexico.
Villescas says damage to the couple's truck suggests that another vehicle tried to run them off the road. He says Nancy Davis was struck in the head by a bullet fired through their pickup's back window.
Nancy Davis was pronounced dead at Texas hospital on Wednesday. Police say Sam Davis told officers they were attacked about 70 miles south of the U.S. border.
