Stretching from the Adriatic coast to the uplands of Lucania, the Alta Murgia National Park is home to Italy's last example of Mediterranean steppe.
The plateau, which is largely made up of limestone and tufa rock and clay deposits, abounds with mushrooms, tassel hyacinths, wild asparagus, and king trumpet mushrooms.
The greenery is dotted with drystone constructions, once used to pen animals during the seasonal transhumance. Imposing and majestic masserie, some of which are fortified like true castles, were the vibrant centres of the local agricultural economy from the 15th century onwards.
The Park's crowning glory is Castel del Monte, the mysterious castle built by Frederick II, the "Stupor mundi" ("Wonder of the World"), as a hunting lodge, and which once teemed with falconers and wild game.
With its rocky formations, thick forests, and vast expanses of steppe, the Alta Murgia National Park boasts barren pasture land where moss and lichen grow, and an undergrowth rich in wild orchids and dog-roses. There are also many indigenous animal species, including the lesser kestrel, which has come to symbolize the Park.
Take the A14 highway Bologna – Bari, and turn off at one of the following exits: Canosa di Puglia, Andria-Trani, Molfetta, Bitonto, Bari-Nord, Bari-Sud, or Gioia del Colle. Then follow one of the various roads that leads toward the towns of the Murgia. The Park's administrative centre is in Gravina in Puglia, at Via Firenze n. 10; the Visitor Centre is in Ruvo di Puglia, at Via Valle Noè n. 5.

Economy - overview: With a well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy, generally pro-investment policies, and strong export industries, Thailand achieved steady growth due largely to industrial and agriculture exports - mostly electronics, agricultural commodities, automobiles and parts, and processed foods. Unemployment, at less than 1% of the labor force, stands as one of the lowest levels in the world, which puts upward pressure on wages in some industries. Thailand also attracts nearly 2.5 million migrant workers from neighboring countries. The Thai government in 2013 implemented a nation-wide 300 baht ($10) per day minimum wage policy and deployed new tax reforms designed to lower rates on middle-income earners. The Thai economy has weathered internal and external economic shocks in recent years. The global economic recession severely cut Thailand's exports, with most sectors experiencing double-digit drops. In late 2011 Thailand's recovery was interrupted by historic flooding in the industrial areas in Bangkok and its five surrounding provinces, crippling the manufacturing sector. The government approved flood mitigation projects worth $11.7 billion, which were started in 2012, to prevent similar economic damage, and an additional $75 billion for infrastructure over the following seven years. This was expected to lead to an economic upsurge but growth has remained slow, in part due to ongoing political unrest and resulting uncertainties. Spending on infrastructure will require re-approval once a new government is seated.
Definition: This entry briefly describes the type of economy, including the degree of market orientation, the level of economic development, the most important natural resources, and the unique areas of specialization. It also characterizes major economic events and policy changes in the most recent 12 months and may include a statement about one or two key future macroeconomic trends.

Komodo dragon bites 2 in officeFebruary 07,2013Komodo dragon
bites 2 in office
JAKARTA, Indonesia Two people have been hospitalized after being attacked by a giant Komodo dragon that wandered into the office of a wildlife park in eastern Indonesia.
An official at Komodo National Park, Heru Rudiharto, said Wednesday the 6½-foot-long Komodo dragon attacked a park ranger after walking into the office on Tuesday.
It then attacked another park employee who came to help him. Both were badly bitten and were evacuated to a hospital on Bali Island.
Rudiharto said the park ranger also was attacked by a Komodo dragon in 2009.
Endangered Komodo dragons can grow longer than 10 feet. Fewer than 4,000 are believed to be alive. They are found in the wild primarily on the eastern Indonesian islands of Komodo, Padar and Rinca.MORE IN Wire NewsEL CAJON, Calif.

I have a few questions about the B777s autopilot's use during take off and the climb. I would really appreciate some information. I was watching the JustPlanes Air Canada 777 video. The Captain flew the aircraft up to FL220 before turning on the AP. I know that LNAV and VNAV are engaged prior to take off so the FD can project the computed route and angle of climb on the PFD. Is the PIC in total manual control until AP is engaged? Or does VNAV or LNAV help the pilot maintain the correct flight path? The Captain seemed to be making very minor inputs on the yoke yet the plane was constantly changing pitch and roll angles prior to engagement of the AP.
If the AP in not engaged and there is a change is heading or a speed intervene, is that information merely reflected on the FD cross or does it have any direct influence on the flight controls.
I know that the B777 has one of the most advanced flight control systems and is easy to fly when compared to the B767. I guess I was just surprised at the ease of the pilots while in control of this massive aircraft.
I hope I have explained my question clearly. My thanks in advance for any contribution to this topic.

We had an amazing Holiday in this apartment. (4 adults and 2 kids). The place is cosy, clean and has all what you need of dishwasher, washing mashine, kitchen, tv, aircon etc. The garden was really nice and the kids could run around all day. Our host was so friendly and helpfull (he even gave us a guided tour in his car to show us where to shop etc...)
The place is just next to the Beach so we only had to walk 200 m to get to the Water. I can highly recomend this appartment and place!
Very nice appartment and very nice stay for the whole family! We traveled with three small kids. The beach is phantastic for them. Antoni was very kind and showed us the area and gave good recommendations for shops and restaurants!

Orioles Activate Chris Davis, Place Wieters On 15-Day DL
The Baltimore Orioles have reinstated 1B Chris Davis from the 15-day disabled list. In a corresponding roster move, C Matt Weiters has now been placed on the 15-day disabled list:
The Orioles have reinstated INF Chris Davis from the 15-day disabled list & placed CA Matt Wieters on the 15day DL with a right elbow strain— Baltimore Orioles (@Orioles) May 11, 2014
Davis, 28, has been on the disabled list since April 27 with a strained left oblique. He was off to a slow start in 22 games before hitting the disabled list, though, as he had hit just two home runs in that span after hitting 53 last season.
Weiters, 27, goes on the disabled list with a right elbow strain. Weiters has been enjoying his best all-around offensive season up to this point, hitting .308 with 5 home runs and 18 RBI's in 26 games played.

These spy shots were captured by Allpar's own David Zatz; the car in question is a mule with a Jeep front, which appears to be the size and shape of the forthcoming 2015 Jeep Compass. Whether it is or not is hard to tell, since Chrysler is ever more secretive.
RedRiderBob wrote, "Expect for a vehicle that is built to be a 80% on road 20% off road vehicle but still have Trail Rated offerings."
There are two sets of insider comments, one saying it would "look very much like the current Patriot in shape and size but mixed just slightly with the soft lines of the old Jeep Renegade and Willys2 concepts" and the other saying it looks like an Alfa Romeo Giulietta with a Grand Cherokee/Compass front clip.
The Compass/Patriot successor and an Alfa Romeo CUV are to be closely related and all are built on CUSW, the same platform as the Dodge Dart, as is Liberty. The "Compatriot" would likely be front wheel drive and all wheel drive, lighter in weight and duty cycle than Liberty, and smaller — C class versus D class.

PPI in March 2008
April 16, 2008
The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods increased 1.1 percent in March, seasonally adjusted.
This advance followed a 0.3-percent rise in February and a 1.0-percent increase in January.
The increase in the index for energy goods accelerated to 2.9 percent in March from 0.8 percent in the preceding month. Prices for finished consumer foods turned up 1.2 percent after declining 0.5 percent in February. By contrast, the rise in the index for finished goods less foods and energy slowed to 0.2 percent from 0.5 percent in February.
During the first quarter of 2008, the finished goods index rose at a 10.2-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR), after climbing at an 11.5-percent SAAR during the fourth quarter of 2007. Much of this slower rate of increase can be traced to prices for finished energy goods, which moved up at a 22.5-percent SAAR for the 3 months ended in March after jumping at a 44.1-percent SAAR for the 3 months ended in December.
The index for finished consumer foods increased at a 10.1-percent SAAR for the 3 months ended in March after advancing at a 9.6-percent SAAR for the 3 months ended in December. Prices for finished goods less foods and energy increased at a 5.0-percent SAAR during the first quarter of 2008 after rising at a 2.2-percent SAAR during the fourth quarter of 2007.
From March 2007 to March 2008, prices for finished goods rose 6.9 percent, as shown in the chart.
These data are from the BLS Producer Price Index program. To learn more, see "Producer Price Indexes -- March 2008" (PDF) (HTML), news release USDL 08-0504. All producer price indexes are routinely subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication, to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents.

Microsoft Defends Frayed PC Ecosystem With $2 Billion Dell Loan
SEATTLE/SAN FRANCISCO: Microsoft Corp is playing defense with a $2 billion loan to help Dell Inc's founder buy back the world's No.3 PC maker as it seeks to shore up support for Windows and beat back the march of Google Inc's Android.
The investment in the landmark $24 billion buyout led by Michael Dell marks the latest step in Microsoft's plan to gain more influence over the hardware supply chain - a departure from the decades-old, software-centric philosophy that helped it dominate the computing world but is now increasingly under threat.
It is far from clear, however, if this strategy will be successful, while the world's largest software maker risks upsetting other computer producers.
"It doesn't mean it's a bad move, but it's definitely defensive. Microsoft is realizing it must be much more engaged in the hardware business than it used to be, it needs to be making bets and forming relationships," said Andrew Bartels, an analyst at Forrester Research.
The company that built its fortune on making high-priced software to go in other companies' computers is inching closer to Apple Inc's belief that software and hardware must be closely integrated for the sake of the user experience.
Microsoft struck a deal to pay Nokia to make phones running Windows software in 2011 and a year later invested in Barnes & Noble's Nook e-reader. It then launched its own computer, the Surface tablet, in October, which rankled some PC makers initially.

Cores and granular samples were recovered from uncovered accelerated carbonated (ACT) and cement-treated soils (S/S) after 4 years to evaluate field-performance with time. Samples were prepared for microstructural examination and leaching testing. The results indicated that the cement-treated soil was progressively carbonated over time, whereas the mineralogy of the carbonated soil remained essentially unchanged. Distinct microstructures were developed in the two soils. Although Pb, Zn and Cu leached less from the carbonated soil, these metals were adequately immobilised by both treatments. Geochemical modeling of pH-dependent leaching data suggested that the retention of trace metals resulted from different immobilisation mechanisms operating in the two soils examined.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabia's top cleric on Friday warned against the mixing of the sexes, saying it poses a threat to female chastity and society, as the kingdom prepares for the first time to grant women seats on the country's top advisory body.
Delivering his traditional Friday sermon, the grand mufti, Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Sheik, said authorities must adhere to sharia, or Islamic law, by ensuring men and women are separated as much as possible at all times. The cleric's comments came weeks ahead of allowing women to be members of the 150-member Shura Council, the country's top advisory body.

The polls in Texas are now closed, but voters who were in line before 7 p.m. still will be able to cast ballots.
Races for president and U.S. Senate are easily the biggest seats up for grabs tonight, but voters in Potter and Randall counties also must vote on candidates vying for state Supreme Court, sheriff, Railroad Commissioner and the state appeals courts.
Voter traffic at Randall Countys 26 precincts and Potter Countys 25 began to upswing just after 5:30 p.m., when most people got off work.
Early voting results are expected soon.
About 54,000 people in Randall and Potter counties either mailed in or cast early ballots from Oct. 20-31. Roughly 134,000 registered voters live in both counties, which share voters in Amarillo.
Statewide, 13.4 million people have registered to vote in this years election, up from 13.1 million in 2004. The Texas Secretary of States Office predicts a 68 percent statewide turnout 12 percentage points higher than the previous presidential race.

I couldn't care less about the the realistic part I want regenerating health to go away because it gives you a reason to explore and usually offers a less linear game.
I agree with this!!!
It also removes much of the challenge of "not dying" away from many games which I miss. Once upon a time it would be considered Mastery to complete a game without loosing a life, but now it just means that you spent most of your time sitting behind a god damn wall.

This is why I loved call of cthulhu. Sure you found medkits but only certain things in them fixed certain wounds so you had to have a bandage to stop the bleeding in that compound fracture you reset or you had better find one soon. If not youd bleed out.

People complain about having health packs in games because they say it breaks the flow, but I think they're just whining personally. Health Items are a staple of the industry. Having them adds another layer of strategic play to the field. Knowing how to win a fight is half the battle, but when you've got a bar of health left, it forces players to be smart about their next fight and it forces players to change their playstyle instead of getting in a rut with the same tactics ever encounter (which is why people are so bored of games like Halo 4 already.)
Unfortunately gamers today are so lazy that they would rather minimize effort rather than challenge themselves. Everything has to be handed to them on a silver platter. Persistent Health makes games better. Look at Halo: Reach,, Far Cry 3, Fable 2, Max Payne, Ninja Gaiden, etc...
Personally I have to say the best system for Health is a cross between the two. Divide the health bar into 3 or 4 segments and whenever a chunk is taken by that segment, it will regenerate after you stop taking fire. Lose the entire chunk and you'll have to find a health kit to get it back. Halo: Reach used this, Chronicles of Riddick is the earliest example of this system, and Far Cry 3 is the most recent example.

So let me get this straight TC...it is realistic for me to be carrying a smörgåsbord of food...stand up get shot to hell...duck behind cover, eat a roasted chicken...stand up get shot again, duck down behind more cover and eat another roasted chicken that makes me magically gain health?
What do you mean not realistic? Sounds like a normal Thanksgiving to me...
The right man, in the wrong place, can make all the difference in the world.

Regenerating health needs to go away because it makes games too damn easy. It turns every game into "oh I'm getting shot up, just need to hide in cover for a few seconds and I'm good to go." With health packs it forces you to play more strategically.
I like how Crysis took the concept of regenerative health and made it part of the narrative. The dirty little secret of those suits is SPOILERS.....
....once you go into combat in that suit, you'll die if you try to take the suit off. Getting shot, taking damage then healing - that's the suit stabilizing your vital signs and patching your wounds and you can no longer survive without the suit.
So regenerative health in Crysis makes sense and is a positive thing.

Suck less at the game, then. I know, getting good at a game will be challenging, but that's kinda the point.
Since you seem to be insisting on being a condescending jerk for no reason, allow me to reply in kind. No matter how good you are at a game, if you play on the harder difficulties you will get hit. Sometimes you'll make a mistake or take a large amount of damage in some way. Most games these days seem to increase difficulty simply by making enemies bullet sponges rather than improving AI, so taking damage is inevitable most of the time. Did you ever think of that, or were you too busy trolling this topic with your nonsense?

Perfect Dark Zero had the best regen health system. There was regeneration but your maximum health decreased each time you took a hit, and the drop depended on the severity of the weapon you were hit by. (its heath system is sort of like some fighters)

Bastardo started the season in Reading's bullpen, but was moved to the rotation a month ago. As a reliever, Bastardo posted a 1.23 ERA and picked up two saves in two opportunities. The move to the rotation didn't seem to bother him much, as he started five games and posted a 1.98 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 27 1/3 innings of work.
Bastardo had been a starter for all of his professional career before moving to the bullpen this spring. He will likely pitch out of the IronPigs bullpen, since their rotation appears set, at least for now.
One thing that the Phillies were looking for Bastardo to do was cut down on his walks and he's done a decent job of doing just that this season. He is averaging 1.8 walks per nine innings this season, a much better number than the 4.5 walks per nine innings that he averaged coming into the season or the 5 walks per inning that he allowed last year at Reading.
To make room for Bastardo, the Phillies moved pitcher Jason Anderson back to Reading. Anderson has been volleyed back-and-forth between Reading and Lehigh Valley this season, spending two separate stretches with each club as of his reassignment to the R-Phils. Anderson had struggled in his first stint with Lehigh Valley, posting a 5.40 ERA, but was much more effective in his latest run with the club, when he posted a 1.29 ERA. Earlier this season, Anderson had a stretch of six shutout innings with Reading before being moved back to Lehigh Valley. On the season, he's a combined 1-0 with a 2.53 ERA.
Bastardo was ranked as the 11th best prospect in the Phillies organization this season by Philly Baseball News.

Our family decided to vacation for a week together this year. There were 18 of us (ages 2 through 60). There was plenty of room for all of us and always something to do. The home includes an amazing lake, boats, indoor pool, pool table, music room, game table, golf cart for getting around the property, beautiful kitchen facilities, etc. There were also laundry facilities which was very convenient. We spent time at Acadia National Park and enjoyed popovers and tea at Jordan Pond Restaurant. We visited Bar Harbor as well which was wonderful too (both the Park and Bar Harbor are about an hour drive away). We cooked lobster and totally enjoyed all that Maine had to offer. Our time at this vacation home was very comfortable for everyone. It was very clean and included everything we could possibly need. It is larger than it appears in the photos and we would definitely recommend this rental to other family members or friends.
our family of 14 arrived on Aug 16th to find that the pictures on the website do not do it any justice...this home is fantastic! Plenty of spacious room for all ages to find something to do, and believe me, we did it all from canoeing to fishing to swimming to totally enjoying the music room with karaoke. we had a 3 year old to two 60+ young seniors, and we could not get enough of this beautiful home! we traveled each day to either Acadia, Bar Harbor or Stonington, and we found that we couldn't wait to get back to the house to enjoy it's warm atmosphere. If Maine isn't on your bucket list, you better add it and rent this home....you won't be sorry!
I can't say enough about how wonderful this home and the owner Charlie, plus Rick and Jenny were to us. We had 10 adults and never a dull moment! The home was amazing and very clean. So much to do! The indoor pool was great! The only issue we had was that we had a day that one half of the house had no hot water BUT they worked very, very quickly to get that resolved and really we didn't even notice because there are so many places to shower! A big thank you to Charlie and Rick for making this vacation THE BEST !!!!!
We spent a great weekend here in August 2012. We were a group of 18 family members ranging in age from 2 years to over eighty. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If anything the internet description does not do this place justice. The house itself is huge - loads of space for different family units - and well maintained. There is loads to do on the property - swimming pool or swim in pond, table tennis, horse shoes, fishing, canoe, kayak, paddle boat, am I may even have forgotten something. There is even a golf cart which was an asset in transporting the older generation to the water-front. Any queries we had were promptly answered by Jenny. There are grocery stores a short drive away and Bangor is 30 minutes away for the shoppers. We ate in exclusively and the house was well stocked with cooking equipment and crockery. The cupboards also yielded a lot of handy non-perishable ingredients. The only thing we did not locate was a tea kettle. The oven in the main kitchen is not as hot as I am used to and one of the BBQ's needs work but these are minor issues. I would happily stay here again and recommend this property to others.
The property is very nice - a beautifully designed house with multi-tier wrap-around deck by a private lake with a mountain in the backgroud. Great view from every window!
It's nicely equiped - everything you'd need in the kitchen, game room completed with all the accessaries, a stage with piano/keyboard/surround-sound system, kayaks, moter boat, paddle boat, fishing rods, golf, heated swimming pool, fire places... plus wifi. They even have a baby crib with changing table!
The staff was very nice and courteous. From booking the property to leaving this place, everything went smoothly.
There're long trails around the property. Kids loved driving the golf cart touring around. Besides spending time in the pool and on the lake, we went whale-watching from Bar Harbor (saw 4 whales, not nearly as many as we saw from Cape Cod), also went to Arcadia several times (sand beach, thunder hole, bubble rock trails, cadilac mountain - do pack some food and water!). The lobsters tasted good! We saw a rare blue lobster at a market outside Ellsworth.
All in all, we really enjoyed this vacation. Highly recommend this place!
6 adult couples with small children from Canada and New York had an amazing time. Unbelievable property. We enjoyed: the large rooms with ensuite bathrooms, the huge gathering and eating areas, visiting the small lake with boat, canoe and peddle boat, touring the estate in a golf cart, and hours of fun with kids in the indoor pool. Owner was extremely kind and welcoming, and had fresh lobster delivered to the mansion for us! Visited Bangor (children museum), Acadia (Cadillac Mountain, Sand Beach, Echo Lake) and Bar Harbor, all beautiful places. We had a unique and memorable experience and would definitely love to return. Thank you!
Location is just off public paved road with no visible neighbors, in "Little Switzerland", a mountainous and lake area only 20 minutes east of Bangor International Airport, and only 40 minutes to Bar Harbor and the spectacular Maine Coast. This home is ideal for the family reunions, weddings, corporate business meetings, or a simple vacation just to enjoy the incomparable setting and home.
Golf: There are many great golf courses in the area. Penobscott Valley is about 45 min away. Lucerne is about 15 minutes away. And the nicest course in Maine(8th oldest in the country)-Kebo Valley in Bar Harbor.

Ken Harrison Radio Speaker In-Dash Upgrade 1965-1966 is rated out of 5 by 10.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Teacher from Poorly designed I purchased this speaker anticipating that it would fit right in place of the original. Unfortunately, the unit does not fit well with or without the dash pad being in place. I had to remount one of the speakers so the terminals were not directly contacting the metal. I found out the hard way. The original speaker and defroster duct grill does not fit well with this speaker in place. When I have more time I am going to remove the speakers from the preformed board and, somehow, mount them in the original location so the grill will fit properly. Purchase at your own risk.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Copesis1 from Not a replacement This will not replace a factory speaker. It sits too high and wont allow the defrost grill to be put back on properly. Im sure the actual speakers are fine but in a nut shell it wont fit. I bought on the advise of a salesman on the phone when I was ordering other things. Its getting returned. The only thing I have gotten from CJ that didnt fit.

Rated 1 out of 5 by georgiajammer from Terrible Fit I bought these speakers because my daughter really wanted a nice stereo sound. It doesn't fit at all and shorts out against the metal dash. The defrost grill doesn't fit over it either. This one was a bust. Maybe I can use the speakers in another location. Please stop offering this product CJ. I've been very happy with all my other purchases.

Rated 1 out of 5 by ps66stang from doesn't come close to fitting I know aftermarket parts don't always fit right but i was surprised that this speaker won't fit at all, its too wide, too long and too tall, would require cutting into a pristine original dash. I recommend the aftermarket kick panel and speaker set. I can always put the original kick panels back in. as for the dash speaker...its just an empty hole now.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Pete 340 from Speaker fitment I agree with another posting is which this item should be removed from inventory. Does not fit and would need alot of trimming to install. Grille will not fit overtop and magnets hit metal dash, all the many items i have purchased this is the only one i had a problem with. Poor design. Would not reccomend to others at all.

Rated 1 out of 5 by cabeman1 from Sucks thinking or not I thought this would fit right in the factory hole. No as others in the review it sits to high, wires touch the dash metal. I want to return it. Next time read the reviews before buying.
Date published: 2016-03-16
Rated 2 out of 5 by doyle from not so great catalog states has to be mounted under dash. The problem there are no holes in the speaker for bolts to mount under dash. So have to modify by drilling holes in the frame to mount.

K2's Loeffler on Golovkin's Next Move at 160, Andre Ward
By Ryan Maquiñana
Middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin continues to impress the boxing world one ruthless demolition at a time.
According to Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions, who handles the rising star, the road ahead for the native of Kazakhstan couldn't be brighter after a fifth-round knockout of top 10 contender Gregorsz Proksa three weeks ago in front of the HBO cameras.
"It was a great debut for him over here on the United States on HBO," Loeffler told BoxingScene.com. "He would really love to fight any middleweight or junior middleweight out there."
Golovkin and Daniel Geale currently hold different versions of the same title and might be on a collision course for the winter, with the former holding the "regular" strap and the latter possessing the "super" title.
"Right now we have the WBA sanction where he has to fight Daniel Geale by December 31st, so that's the first order of business, to see if Geale will fight him," Loeffler said. "If not, we've made it clear to HBO that he'll fight anyone at 160."
Golovkin now finds himself in a precarious position. At the age of 29, the native of Kazakhstan has finally burst on the American fight scene with the punishing triumph over Proksa. However, it remains to be seen if any of the big rival promoters would dare risk sending their prized 160-pounders into the ring with "GGG."
"We got such a great response after his fight," Loeffler added. "Proksa was a really difficult style. He was a southpaw. He had his hands down. He moved around a lot.
"Gennady just keeps coming forward. He puts the pressure on. He throws a lot of punches and throws hard punches. I think he's had 10 straight knockouts in a row now, so people reacted really well to it. It's just a matter now of getting bigger names in the ring."
Following last Saturday's thrilling finish in Las Vegas between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Sergio Martinez, both Top Rank and Lou DiBella—the fighters' respective promoters—insinuated that preliminary discussions had already begun for a rematch to take place in Cowboys Stadium early next year.
If Martinez-Chavez II is inevitable, then Golovkin will have to look elsewhere to defend his title.
"The middleweight division is so deep," Loeffler said. "There's a lot of other names out there like a [Dmitry] Pirog, the guy Gennady was supposed to fight originally. There are so many other names.
"[Matthew] Macklin had a great fight. He had a first-round knockout [of Joachim Alcine]. That would be a great fight for Gennady. It's really open. It depends on what Geale does here in the next week."
Aside from the top dogs at middleweight, there have been talks of Golovkin welcoming a fight with 168-pound champion Andre Ward, who stopped Chad Dawson in spectacular fashion on HBO one week after Golovkin accomplished the feat against Proksa.
"That was tremendous also for the sport of boxing," Loeffler said of Ward's performance. "It really elevated Andre to a different level. That's a fight that Gennady would definitely take.
"At this point, it would be a little premature because he still has so many other fights out there at 154 and 160, but I can see that a year, a year and a half down the road, if Andre keeps winning and Gennady keeps winning, that's a megafight as well."

A man whose wife was shot to death in West Ashley had a message Monday for the man accused of killing her: Turn yourself in before you get shot by police.
Richard Hayes and his wife, Linda, were lying in bed watching TV at their daughter's Debbenshire Drive home shortly after 6:30 p.m. Saturday when their estranged son-in-law appeared at the foot of the bed with a gun, according to an incident report released Monday.
Ronald David Ratliff pointed the black handgun at the couple and fired twice, Richard Hayes told deputies. Hayes heard his wife cry out, "Oh, honey," as he rolled off the bed. He looked up and saw Ratliff fumbling with the gun, which apparently had jammed, the report said.
Linda K. Hayes, 65, died from two gunshot wounds to her side. Deputies are searching for Ratliff, who is 41.
At a news conference Monday at the Charleston County Sheriff's Office, Hayes urged his son-in-law, whom he called David Ratliff, to surrender.
"I met with my lord and savior last night," Hayes said, "and I have total peace that he gave me. ... I just want you to know that you can walk in and you'll be safe. I know that you're going through a difficult time. I understand it. I have no hatred for you."
Hayes said Ratliff is hurting a lot of people by not surrendering and that he should turn himself in so he could get right with God.
"And we don't want you to be shot," Hayes said. "If that's what you choose, you'll be in hell. But if you come in, there's still a chance for you to get yourself forgiven and go to heaven no matter what happens to you."
Hayes, who is 66, and his wife had come up from their home in Florida to visit their daughter and attend a birthday party, Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon said.
The slaying took place within days after Ratliff was released from the Charleston County jail after having entered a guilty plea to assault charges stemming from a Sept. 20 attack on his estranged wife, Melissity Hayes, 40, the couple's daughter.
Melissity Hayes told deputies on Sept. 20 that she and Ratliff had a common-law marriage but were sleeping in separate rooms because he had been violent toward her in the past.
She said Ratliff broke into her bedroom about 10:50 p.m. and attempted to climb on top of her, the report said. Ratliff was upset with her for talking to a divorce attorney, she told deputies.
The couple's two children, a 21-year-old son and a 23-year-old daughter, helped break up the assault after the son heard his mother begging his father to "please stop," according to the incident report. They left the house with their mother and later called 911. Deputies found Ratliff inside with a paring knife.
He told deputies he intended to use the knife but put it down when he knew they were coming, the report said.
Ratliff was arrested and taken to jail, charged with criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature. A family court judge signed an order of protection in September that barred Ratliff from returning to the house on Debbenshire Road, which was the marital home, Cannon said.
In a plea bargain arrangement, Ratliff pleaded guilty Jan. 18 to a lesser charge of second-degree assault and battery. Circuit Judge Thomas L. Hughston Jr. sentenced Ratliff to three years in prison, suspending all but the 119 days Ratliff had spent in jail awaiting trial, with the condition that he be on probation for one year.
The plea bargain was not unusual, and it was approved by the victim, said 9th Circuit Assistant Solicitor Jessica Baldwin. "It was based on a lack of violence in his history," she said. "There was a discussion that he had a substance abuse problem and one of the conditions of his probation was that he receive treatment."
Authorities notified the victim when Ratliff was released, Baldwin said. "Victim notification is automatic," she said.
According to a State Law Enforcement Division records check, Ratliff has previous convictions for simple assault in 1991 and criminal conspiracy in 2002.
From the time he got out of jail Jan. 18 until the shooting Saturday, Ratliff was staying at the Econo Lodge on Savannah Highway, the sheriff said.
Investigators think Ratliff may have headed to Pensacola, Fla., where he has family. He was driving a white 2004 Ford Econoline van with S.C. license plate EPP 250. The van had a Dallas Cowboys license tag in the front and may have Dallas Cowboys window stickers. The van also had ladder racks on top, Cannon said.
Ratliff is described as a white man, 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 210 pounds, with scars on his neck and tattoos on his back, shoulders and upper right arm.
Cannon said Ratliff may be carrying a small-caliber handgun.

Reviewer: James J. Foody, MD (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine)
Description: This is a hardcover collection of humorous articles, essays, poetry, letters, and a few cartoons originally published in medical journals.
Purpose: In the preface to the first edition, the author stated three purposes: (1) for physicians to laugh at themselves; (2) to preserve the best articles and facilitate the use of humor in health care; and (3) to encourage healthcare workers to use humor in their day-to-day practices. In this second edition, he states writing the book is an attempt to be noticed by Dave Barry. The aims of the first edition are well met in the this edition. The success of the second edition's purpose remains to be seen.
Audience: Although written for practicing physicians, residents, students, and nurses, other medical workers may also find the book funny. Anyone who wants to meet Dave Barry has the necessary credibility to be a judge of humor.
Features: There are cartoons, graphs, charts, photographs, and line drawings scattered throughout the book. The collected works are adequately referenced. The book's appearance is appropriate. An interesting addition to the second edition is a brief article on how to get a humorous contribution published in a medical journal.
Assessment: My grandfather used to say, "It's all a matter of taste, said Mr. Murphy as he kissed the pig." Nothing is more individually taste-dependent than humor. As I scanned the contents of the book, the first few contributions I read were on the level of Readers' Digest humor. (This is not a compliment.) Discouraged, I was about to write a nasty review when I came across "The Art of Pimping" and howled out loud. Dr. Bennett has amassed a collection of medical humor that contains much that will please everyone, but not everything will please anyone. All in all, I hope he does get the chance to collaborate with Dave Barry, the real reason Dr. Bennett says he wrote this book.

In many cities and towns, the police publish guidelines for when, after a motor vehicle accident, the police should be called to the scene. However, sometimes an accident victim's interpretation of those guidelines can result in serious problems when later making an insurance claim, which is why I often contact personalinjurysolicitorsdublin.info/car-accident-claims/! Firstly, most municipalities suggest that the police need not be called if the damage to the vehicles is less than a certain amount. In Ottawa, Ontario that amount is $1000.00. The problem is that unless you have some specialized knowledge about cars, or unless the accident was truly just a tap at very low speed, how do you know what the damage is? Very often there is damage inside the frame of the car or inside the trunk.
There can be alignment problems, wheel well problems and various other structural problems that are a much bigger deal than you may realize. Continue reading "Contacting a Lawyer Before the Insurance Company"

State acquires new wildlife area
ATHENS The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife has completed its purchase of a 400-acre parcel of undisturbed wetlands and forest in Windham County called the Athens Dome, now known as the Turner Hill Wildlife Management Area.
The plateau is home to the northeastern bulrush, an endangered plant in Vermont, as well as a rich wetland environment that supports moose, bear and other animals.
The idea of preserving the area was conceived by Bob Anderson, a naturalist from Saxtons River, who started walking in the area a decade ago.
This is very special land, Anderson said. And this means it will be open to Vermonters to use forever. In this age when more and more land is being parceled and posted this is a significant step in keeping land open and accessible for everybody.
Over the years, Anderson has worked with local officials, state agencies, non-profit environmental groups and the Vermont Electric Power Company, or VELCO, to conserve the property.
The deal required the approval of the towns of Athens and Grafton as well as volunteer work by people determined to preserve the land.
VELCO got involved after the company started acquiring land as part of a major expansion, part of which required the company to preserve wetlands on another piece of land for any wetlands it damaged as part of its power line expansion.
The Athens Dome wetlands fit the bill.
Fish and Wildlife owns more than 80 wildlife management areas across the state, totaling more than 118,000 acres. They are open to the public and include areas to hunt, fish, view wildlife and hike.MORE IN This Just InHarwood Union graduate Haley Spittle was named North Atlantic Conference Player of the Week after...

Chest Pain and Arm Pain along with tingling.
Q: 2 months ago I started having pain in my chest on the left side sometimes on my breast area and sometimes below it more on my rib cage. It also spreads to my left shoulder blade and down my left arm, sometimes to my right side of my chest as well. I thought I was going to have a heart attack so I visited the emergency room and they said it could be a chest wall strain. I followed up with a doctor and got a ultra sound of my heart done and they said it looked ok. Well a week ago I was still experiencing pain in my chest and feeling light headed along with tingling in my arms and jaw so I went to the Emergency room again. This time they said it was possibly anxiety related and it was all in my head and I might have stomach ulcers due to anxiety so they prescribed me with 25mg of Nortriptylin to take before I go to sleep each night. I have been taking it for a week and I don't seem stressed at all. I am still having pain around the left side of my chest and tingling in my arms and jaw. Sometimes its a sharp stinging pain and sometimes its a burning type of pain. When I go for a run it doesn't seem to bother me, only when im not actively doing anything or when im trying to sleep do I feel the pain. I'm 17 years old and not overweight. Please if you can provide any information it will be of great help.
A: It seems that your chest pain is non cardiac in origin ie it is not related to the heart. The other causes of chest pain may include chest wall muscular strain, herpes zooster of the chest wall, peptic ulcer disease, reflux problems. These are the most common other causes. You need to get checked up in detail to definately rule out cardiac disease which i see has been already done.However since you are getting arm pain too i would just advice you to get a stress test or stress echo done to definately rule out the possibility of cardiac involvement. You could talk to your physician about starting you on a proton pump inhibitor medication like pantolac which will help and improve the symptoms if it is due to a peptic ulcer or reflux disease. Anxiety can also cause similar chest pain. Please try the trial of the pantolac and also analyse the symptoms as to when during the day they occur. I hope this helps.

Pushback: Levin's Landmark Legal pushes for probe of Tea Party-bullying IRS
Yes, it's about damned time.
Earlier this month, I reported on President Obama's campaign bully brigade — and I noted the IRS intimidation of Tea Party groups across the country.
The Landmark Legal Foundation is not taking it lying down.
Today, conservative talk radio giant and movement warrior Mark Levin's group requested an immediate investigation "into possible misconduct by the Internal Revenue Service's Exempt Organization (EO) Division that calls into question the integrity of federal tax administration and IRS programs." Specifically, the letter cites the feds' information demands that went "far beyond the appropriate level of inquiry regarding the religious, charitable and/or educational activities of a tax exempt entity. The inquiries are not relevant to these permitted activities. Inquiries extend to organizational policy positions and priorities, personal and political affiliations, and associations of staff, board members and even family members of staff and board members."
…inquiries about personal associations and political viewpoints are not only inappropriate, but impinge upon constitutionally-protected freedoms of speech and association.
Although the Internal Revenue Code has limited the tax exemption subsidy ofSOI(c)(3) organizations to groups that do not participate in political activity, the Service must still tread lightly when dealing with fundamental constitutional rights. Inquiring about the positions a prospective organization adopts on various policy issues serves no valid purpose if the organization does not engage in political activity. Such inquiries appear to be designed only to intimidate the applicants. As it has been upheld repeatedly by the Supreme Court, the government cannot regulate political speech with laws that chill permissible speech. Finally, reports that Tea Party-related organizations are being singled out for the IRS's intrusive inquires raises serious questions about the propriety of the personnel involved in the evaluation of tax
exemption applications.
Landmark Legal Foundation respectfully requests an immediate and thorough investigation to determine whether IRS employees are acting improperly in the evaluation of exempt status applications. This investigation also must determine whether the relevant IRS employees are acting at the direction of politically motivated superiors.
The full document is right here.
I repeat: It is no small exaggeration to conclude that Team Obama's dead aim is to chill conservative speech and criminalize conservative dissent. All Americans for prosperity must push back with one voice: No, you can't.

As far as I know, the ATi GPU in the Wii is similar to the one used in their Radeon series of cards, and all but the *very* early ones have an anti-aliasing feature.
Of course, if you turn AA on then you take a performance hit due to the increased rendering time needed for each frame, so I guess it's down to the people writing the games if they use AA or not.
*AA (anti aliasing) is an effect where a "jaggie" is smoothed by colouring surrounding pixels with an average colour of the pixels either side of it. It really does work, we've had it for years in PC gaming, but it has teh downside of making the overall image a touch less sharp.

The outlook for naturalists is expected to be fair in the coming years. While a growing public concern about environmental issues may cause an increased demand for naturalists, this trend could be offset by government cutbacks in funding for nature programs. Reduced government spending on education may indirectly affect the demand for naturalists, as school districts would have less money to spend on outdoor education and recreation. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, employment opportunities for all conservation scientists, including naturalists, are expected to grow more slowly than the average for all occupations through 2022. Despite the limited number of available positions, the number of well-qualified applicants is expected to remain high.

Billy Bang: Long Over Due in Post Production
The dynamics and thought process of innovative jazz violinist Billy Bang when composing music and preforming it as well as the energy that his band mates feed on that is hardly ever explained but is always experienced by the listener
Back in September 2010, I was asked by Billy Bang to direct a documentary about his musical life. He didn't want that documentary to be shot in the traditional format like a standard biography. He wanted it to be about technical aspects and musical communication between himself and the musicians he shard the stage with. Shooting began in October 2010 in Patterson, New Jersey at the public library for an intimate audience of much appreciative music lovers. From there Billy Bang: Long Over Due began to take shape.This is a synopsis of the film.
In the 1970's, the jazz music scene was changing. Out from the traditional modalities of ragtime, dixieland, mainstream, big band, and be bop sprang a new idiom: progressive jazz. A style where structure was bent to include individualism, expressionism, and dynamic energy as well as unadulterated improvisation. Violinist Billy Bang invaded that scene at that time and found a home and continued to contribute to that modality until his death on 4/11/2011. He recorded numerous albums and cd's and toured the world extensively sharing his music and spirit with fans of the genre. To talk to the Bang about labels he will be the first to tell you that he doesn't consider himself akin to any particular style. He would described what he does as just plain music that you need to listen to. Billy Bang: Long Over Due explores the life and musical journey of a true American original. The crux of the film will explain the dynamics and thought process of musicians when putting music together and preforming it as well as the energy that they feed on that is hardly ever explained but is always experienced by the listener. Twelve musicians with intimate and personal knowlege sat down to be interviwed for this film. From his childhood to his formative years to his time in the military and subsequent music career, Billy remained a fascinating and enigmatic figure. Interviews with several musicians who worked with and knew him personally, paint a picture of a man who lived and played free of constructs for 3 ½ decades. Now, the multiple award winning violinist's story is finally being told because it's long over due. Trailer will preceed the teaser linked below with the feature length film to be released in 2012. Stay tuned all you Bang fans...stay tuned.

Canvas Print
Niagara Falls Trestle [16:9]by Tyler Forest-Hauser
Fine art print on bright white, fine poly-cotton blend, matte canvas using latest generation Epson archival inks. Individually trimmed and hand stretched museum wrap over 1-1/2" deep wood stretcher bars. Includes wall hanging hardware.
I've always had a funny fascination with train trestles. I grew up on the plains where the trestles were practically nothing more than a few wooden planks, so to see something so tireless and majestic is just stunning. I gape at its history, its legacy. Standing near no other mark of the times, I feel I can travel back to when such a structure would be regarded not as a decaying relict in the woods, but as an actual achievement, a mark of how far we've come. It might just be imaginary but I like it.

SANTA FE (AP) - As a former Mexican police officer Benito enforced the law south of the border. Now he breaks it daily because he is in New Mexico.
Benito, who spoke with the Albuquerque Journal on the condition his real name was not revealed, is just one of about 37,000 illegal immigrants estimated to be living in New Mexico right now.
That number is believed to be growing by about 1,000 to 3,000 every year, according to a 1996 study by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Santa Fe has developed a reputation as a "safe haven" due in part to a 1999 City Council resolution declaring a "policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of a person's national origin."
Immigrants-rights coordinator Marcela Daz says in spite of the Santa Fe policy, the immigrants live under a veil of a fear.
"Every move they make, every time they drive their kids to school, they are doing something illegally," she said.
The immigrant resolution passed by the Santa Fe City Council says the city will not use its resources, including the police department, to identify or arrest anyone based solely on immigration status unless lawfully required to do so.
Albuquerque Mayor Jim Baca signed a similar measure in January that also allocated $50,000 over the next six years for a program to help immigrants, both legal and illegal, obtain government services in Albuquerque.
Santa Fe's immigrant resolution isn't legally binding.
Chuck Kirk - former head of the INS office in Albuquerque - said the agency works with Santa Fe police in spite of the immigrant-friendly resolution.
But Kirk said the INS is stretched so thin that an illegal immigrant's chances of getting caught in northern New Mexico are "not very great" unless the immigrant is arrested for a serious crime.
"We have enough criminal aliens to deal with that we don't need any more business," Kirk said.
The INS has shifted gears in the past decade to focus on criminals rather than illegal immigrants who are working.
"If (illegal immigrants) are just working, sure that's our business, but we'd rather deal with criminals," Kirk said. "We would rather get someone who is a criminal off the streets who is preying on someone."
While between 1,000 and 3,000 illegal immigrants move to New Mexico each year, those numbers are not high compared to other states.
New Mexico shares many cultural ties with Mexico, but many immigrants say they have faced discrimination and even violence at the hands of New Mexico-born Hispanics.
In September, a Cuarteles man was charged with shooting at a Mexican immigrant family who lived next to him in a trailer park.
It was Benito's family. Bullets grazed his son's leg and almost struck his head, police reported.
The man was arrested on several charges and is awaiting trial.
After the shooting Benito moved his family to another area.
"We lived there three years (in Cuarteles) and never had any problems, never," he said about life before the shooting. "Some people are very racist and some people aren't."
Benito's three sons, ages 14, 12 and 7, are the main reason he decided to bring his family to New Mexico. Opportunities for them were limited in Mexico, but they are now receiving an education and learning English in the Pojoaque Valley Schools district.
"For the kids, school is very important," he said.
He hopes all three boys will attend college, although he is struggling now to pay for rent, utilities and food on the salary he earns making and laying tile.
He also hopes that his wife's father, who is a legal U.S. resident, can apply for the family to receive legal immigration status.under a change in immigration law approved last year by former President Clinton.
