A 30-year-old Romanian will bike off Bucharest this Saturday in an attempt to cover a total of nearly 15,000 km, heading for Central Asia's Kyrgyzstan, where he will dare scale the 7K peak Khan Tengri.

Radu Diaconescu, a programmer by profession, will set off on his bike from Bucharest and will ride over 7,000 km until close to the border between Kyrgyzstan and China, largely following the Silk Road; he will then walk more than two weeks to the base camp from where he will "assault" the Khan Tengri peak.
The sensation seeker will do everything by his own forces, relying in no way on motorized transport, and will neither have a support team to rescue him in case he runs into danger. All the equipment he needs to sleep, cook and fend off the whims of the weather will be fixed on his bike's rack.
He says the idea came to him while reading the books written by others who travelled to all corners of the world on motorcycle, bike or on foot, but the desire to dash out of the daily routine had sprung into his mind a long time ago, as a reaction to the fixed office hours. To get the time for this adventure which he expects to take about nine months, Radu resigned his well-paid position as a programmer with a German company, where he has been working in the past year.
"I love riding my bike, I love climbing, I love trekking, I now have the opportunity to merge all three," Radu Diaconescu told Agerpres.
He has been mountain trekking since the age of 19, and then discovered climbing, skiing, mountain biking and running, as well as mountain competitions.
He has been dreaming in the past five years about a journey to the endless steppes of Mongolia and began inquiring about cycle tourism, ie long distance bike trips, which — he says — offers one more freedom than just riding the train or the plane, plus the satisfaction of having worked one's muscles to see those places.
Another advantage he sees in travelling by bicycle is the interaction with people one needs to communicate with to ask about the basics of life: "Where can I pitch my tent?", "Where can I get water?", "Where can I find a store?" and taking direct contact with local customs and traditions.
"I trust that most people are good, and to an extent of 99 percent, the experiences I've had travelling through Romania and Europe were positive; besides that, someone biking to a place from the end of the world enjoys a greater capital of confidence than a rich tourist who stops his car to ask the locals for guidance," the adventurer considers.
Radu Diaconescu is not at his first adventure of this kind. In 2011 he and his wife Mihaela Diaconescu pedalled off on a two-week journey to Mont Blanc and then summited the Alpine giant.
"This time it will be something different. This is a nine-month journey through several countries that are not so developed in terms of road infrastructure, but which have a lot to offer from the cultural and spiritual point of view," Radu Diaconescu also says.
The outbound leg of the journey will take him through Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. His plan is to travel some 80 km a day on average, mainly on secondary roads to avoid busy traffic.
Radu Diaconescu will leave on Saturday from the Bucharest Park of the Youth accompanied by several friends who will see him to the Giurgiu border crossing point where he will exit the country.
Diaconescu's adventure can be tracked on the blog www.diaconescuradu.com. AGERPRES

Cub has really picked up his game as of late and tightened the areas that were always his troublespots. I'd put him in the top five to seven range, but he's at risk of getting shafted when it comes to rankings and future matchups.
Cub's in a rather unenviable position when it comes to contendership, as he's already been dusted by Aldo, and also already lost convincingly to Lamas and Mendes(who I regard as the top two). On top of that, I think Zombie probably has dibs being that he's never fought Aldo and would be an exhilerating fight and then you've got the looming Gilbert Melendez, who I see dropping down once he gets dominated by the bigger, stronger, faster Bendo.
Koch, Nunes and Hioki are good challenges for Cub, but they're coming off of losses and are lower ranked. I don't know if he and Clay would fight each other because of the Jackson connection, which leaves his original matchup, Dennis Siver, which would be a great war.
As long as he stays away from Lentz or a rematch with Mendes or Lamas, he's good, but he's in a rather unfortunate spot of having dropped losses to his contemporaries and will suffer from further LW stars dropping(Frankie, Pettis, Clay and potentially Gil)
I like "the diamond" but i'm a little weirded out by his talk, at the presser Cub mentioned that Justin had some words for him during the fight including something like " i cant believe you're going to take this from me" it just reminds me of how he spoke after the loss to korean zombie. i dont know if it should be categorized as whiny but it seems a little immature. On the other hand its nice to see Cub has matured into a entertaining veteran contender
Cub Swanson Hungry for Dominant Wins Following UFC on Fuel TV 7 Decision
Cub Swanson Hungry for Dominant Wins Following UFC on Fuel TV 7 Decision
I knew he was going to be a tough guy, but I just know that Im sharper than that, Swanson told Fox Sports after his unanimous decision victory. I was really frustrated about that, and I know I have to do better. I did enough to get the win, and Im proud of that, but I could be better.
Poirier did appear to be the tighter -- though not necessarily the more effective -- striker during their featherweight bout at Wembley Arena in London. However, Swanson managed to connect several times with hard, looping shots, notably clipping The Diamond with a sweeping uppercut in the first frame.
Im a lot more accurate than that. He did a pretty good job of holding back just enough, said Swanson. I give him credit. He was a lot trickier than I thought. My hats off to him. He was talking some trash, and I was like, My apologies, but I won it.
Swanson consistently stuffed Poiriers takedown attempts through a competitive first 10 minutes between the world-ranked 145-pounders. In round three, it was Swanson who shot for a takedown after Poirier began to find his range. While the decision resulted in Swanson winning the final round and the fight, the Jacksons MMA product was nevertheless injured in the process.
When I took him down, I landed on my head and my thumb at the same time. Im glad I didnt knock myself out, said Swanson. I bent my thumbnail back, and it started bleeding pretty good. That really hurt, but its cool. Its part of the job I chose.
The hard-fought victory should move Swanson further up the featherweight ladder, inching him one step closer to a rematch with reigning champion Jose Aldo. Swanson was initially supposed to face Dennis Siver on Saturday evening, but the German withdrew from their bout, leaving Poirier to fill in. Though a meeting with Siver would certainly make sense at this juncture, Swanson said he will be ready for whomever the UFC throws at him.
I think [Siver] should fight another guy first. I could see [myself fighting Chan Sung Jung] or [having] a rematch with [Ricardo] Lamas, said Swanson. Im trying to dominate these opponents, not just win. Im going to go back in the gym and work it. Im hungry.

Here are questions from real customers. If you cannot find an answer to your question, please feel free to contact us at email@example.com.
1. "Where is it most advantageous to apply eye black? i.e.: around the eye, cheekbone, down a tear line (like a cheetah), What shape provides the most reflective properties?" - Peter C.
- "The optimal placement is along the cheekbone under the eye. Studies have found this placement prevents reflected light from enteting into the pupil of the eye. Therefore, the eye black acts like polarized sunglasses (reducing reflected light from entering into the eye."
- Dr. Brian M. DeBroff, MD, FACS, Ophthalmologist, Yale Medical School
2. What is the best way to apply Farkas Eye Black?
- Many athletes who use Farkas Eye Black prefer applying it to their face directly with their fingers.
- However, some athletes have told us that they use a piece of paper towel to apply Farkas Eye Black along the cheekbone under the eye.
- To do the paper towel method: Roll a piece of towel to finger size. Apply desired amount of eye black to paper towel by pressing it in the product. Then apply product to face.
- Tim Shaw, Linebacker, Tennessee Titans
3. What's the best way to remove Farkas Eye Black?
- While Farkas Eye Black is made for the serious athlete and designed to stay on throughout competition, we understand that at some point it may need to come off. According to Farkas Eye Black's doctors and scientists here's the best way to remove Farkas Eye Black:
- Remove as many layers of eye black as possible with a dry towel.
- Switch to a wet towel, with hand soap, and wash off the rest of the eye black.
- Wash face with water.
- Look in the mirror and be proud of what you see.
- Neil Thanedar, President of Avomeen Analytical Services (avomeen.com)
4. Will Farkas Eye Black wash out of jerseys?
- Yes. In fact, here is an excerpt from an unsolicited email:
- "Our Men's and Women's Lacrosse teams both use Farkas Eye Black and love it. The players like the ability to use their fingers to create their own designs for games. I like it because of its ease to wash out of our uniforms after games. We look forward to the continued use of your product in the future."
- Jay Bissette, Equipment Manager, Duke University
5. How do I enter this custom information on the order page when there is only a one-line window on the ordering page? - Mike V.
- As the custom tin examples show, we can have a team name above the Farkas logo and then the player's name and jersey # below the Farkas logo or vice versa.
- Enter in your text in the one line window as if it were a note to us. We review every order before we engrave it.
- Include " " around the text you want.
- For example, you can write the following note: Above the logo "TEXT YOU WANT ABOVE THE LOGO" below the logo "TEXT YOU WANT BELOW THE LOGO"

Melling holds nerve to help Europe retain Mosconi Cup
8:13am Friday 14th December 2012 in District Sport
Keighley's Chris Melling helped Europe make it three Mosconi Cup victories over America in a row last night.
Leading 9-6 after Wednesday's session, the hosts only needed two of the five singles matches in the final session but the States fought back in a thrilling climax at York Hall.
They won the first three matches before Melling calmed home nerves with a 5-2 win over Brandon Shuff to put Europe 10-9 up.
Holland's Nick Van Den Berg then beat Mike Dechaine 5-2 to spark wild scenes of celebration.

From back alleys to Facebook walls: the street art-tech connection is heating up -- and changing SF's street scene
STREET SEEN The mural was neatly rendered in aerosol, with an expert's eye for color. It read "Facebook." Surrounding text bubbles proclaimed "poke," "write on your wall," and "I'll find something to put here" to the denizens of Sixth Street.
Tech-based graffiti? If you're up on the Bay Area art scene, the juxtaposition won't come as any surprise — the companies building the Internet have emerged as major supporters of professional street art.
"The influx of tech companies has affected our business at all levels," says Daniel Pan, founder of SoMa's 1AM Gallery. Pan and his team exhibit works by local graff legends and recently came under attack by conservative SF Chronicle columnist C.W. Nevius for 1AM's retail space, which sells one of SF's best selections of street art sprays and tools.

The gallery also facilitates corporate graffiti workshops like the one that gave birth to the aforementioned 2010 Facebook mural, and arranges custom murals for techland's stomping grounds. Last month, the gallery released a mobile app perfect for capturing, cataloguing, and searching for one's favorite pieces of street art all over the world.
"On a very fundamental level, tech has allowed the street art scene in San Francisco, and worldwide, to spread faster and further than ever," Pan says.
1AM is by no means the only site of this pairing. Though Facebook may have led the way for the tech-street art connection, having tapped artist David Choe to do its office walls back when the company was still in its Palo Alto offices, you can now see murals in the YouTube office park — and in many tech companies across the Bay.
Among the experts with whom I spoke for this story, many attributed the trend to the fact that the new tech elite is much younger than the leaders in other industries.
"They share a lot of the same values," Vikki Tobak of the Palo Alto Arts Commission told me. "[Street art] is young, DIY, there's no pretense. It's very 'of the generation' in terms of who works at these companies."
Tobak points to various ways the two worlds are interfacing. Eyebeam's Graffiti Research Laboratory is the maker of "L.A.S.E.R. Tag," a system that allows artists to project digital tags onto buildings from a distance of hundreds of meters. Re+Public's reality augmenting mural app allows street art fans to travel through time at NYC's famed Bowery wall and digitally hallucinate via animations and 3D effects in Miami's Wynwood Walls mural complex. Locally, Tobak sees the in-progress University Avenue tunnel mural project that will transform a major pedestrian connector in one of Silicon Valley's first cities as an example of how street art-style work has gained traction among techies. Zynga neighbor Project One Gallery hosts tech happy hours within walls covered in murals by acclaimed visual artists.
wow - everything is wrong with this
keep Facebook out of SF
How utterly destitute San Francisco has become since the days when Twist, Reminisce, and Animal Liberation Front roamed the back alleys and byways.
where is this stuff and how quickly can we annihilate the private property?
this is not art, this is "corporate" linguistics of the inchoate sort.
to those with the right eyes, this is easy to perceive.
It is over.
I simply couldn't leave your website prior to suggesting that I really enjoyed the
standard information an individual provide for your visitors?
Is gonna be again incessantly in order to investigate cross-check

Regarding data-mining Facebook:
FYI: "Mark Zuckerberg Makes Enemies of Some Liberal Groups, He Supports Keystone Pipeline"
From the article:
"Among the experts with whom I spoke for this story, many attributed the trend to the fact that the new tech elite is much younger [ed. and mostly white] than the leaders in other industries.
The new San Francisco = Tiburon
Fortunately, Facebook is slowly dying. People are tired of the data-mining. I read that teenagers are turning off from it. They're quickly changing over to the latest and newest fad.
What ever happened to talking with each other (as opposed to texting)? Talking is still much faster than texting, even if every-other word is "like."
More from Mr "Change we can believe in" and "Looking Forward":
Obama administration to back wiretap law for social media
"The Obama administration is close to announcing its support for a law that would force Google, Facebook and other Internet communications companies to build back doors for government wiretaps, according to an article in the New York Times Wednesday.
Such a measure would allow intelligence agencies, particularly the FBI, to monitor a vast array of communications, including Facebook messages, chats, and email using services such as Gmail."
...is simply commercial illustration.
"People don't need to know anything about art to get something out of the experience."
Ah, art that doesn't challenge. So easy to take in, like spoon-fed yogurt.
Street wall art is becoming a trend now days. Many countries and organizations are giving their maximum support to promote it. The wall art competition took place at San Francisco is an example for it. Thanks for sharing the pictures of it.

MUMBAI: The fate of Indian Premier League cricket franchise Deccan Chargers hung in the balance after the company failed to provide a bank guarantee to the Board of Control for Cricket in India by 5 pm on Friday evening, the deadline set by the board.
Late in the evening, the IPL team received a temporary reprieve after a court-appointed arbitrator extended the deadline for termination of the franchisee to Wednesday. The court had earlier appointed an arbitrator after the owners of Deccan Chargers challenged BCCI's move to terminate the franchise.

January. I went on the most amazing vacation ever: The Rock Boat (Number X). This year, partly because of the moving expenses and mostly because of the settling in (and that we feel old and tired), we've decided to take the year off.
Soon after returning from said cruise awesome-ness, I lost my job of three years. Talk about cleaning house. It would probably be the best thing to ever happen to me.
And then we prepared the apartment for the addition to our family: Rudy the Cat. Who would essentially take the term "Sidekick" to the most literal level. And make me hate wearing black forever-and-ever.
February. I went red. With bangs. And have pretty much hated that decision ever since. Whomever said a "change can do you good" — was that Sheryl Crow? — yeah, she needs to be kicked in the gonads.
March. AB took a new job with his company, which resulted in him traveling weekly to Pittsburgh.
I visited for our anniversary. That's ONE YEAR, people. I did a little house cleaning on Facebook and my cell phone, as result. A little demon cleansing as well, if you will.
I strapped on some skates (and a set of balls) and started playing roller derby. Hitting does a body good. And is subsequently amazing for changing my exercise and eating habits.
April. AB & I went to Chicago for Whiskey Fest. Ahh, cleanse the palate.
And I threw out the first pitch at a Lake County Captains game!
May. *sigh* How the hell am I 33 already? Pffft… whatever. I'm in the best shape of my LIFE!
But additionally: WTF, hormones?
June. I went back to Pittsburgh to *gasp* start looking at apartments… To be continued.
But ALSO to break the most awesome of World Records!
July. Finally: BOSTON! Damn, we traveled a lot in 2010! Cleaning house here must equate to doing shit-tons of laundry.
But not before announcing our moving away from Cleveland.
August. OMG! Get me away from this bitch! I spent most of the month lost in a haze of overly-emotionally emotions: anger, sadness, loneliness, apathy, stress… and a whole bunch of physical bruising from my "acceptance" into the Fresh Meat Program with the Burning River Roller Girls. Clearing my brain in the only way I know.
It would also be my last month living in Cleveland. *tear* And I'm taking it out on everything around me. And packing up two locations by yourself is probably the worst idea ever.
September. I decided to quit BRRG, instead of traveling back every week until tryouts. *sobbing tears*
And WE FRICKIN' MOVED! Pittsburgh celebrated the event with fireworks. True story.
October. I was named "Rookie of the Year" by the blog 'Burgh Living. Where I will continue as a newbie correspondent to the city (look for a new post next week).
We returned to Cleveland, and it felt… different.
November. Firsts! Lots of them here, of course. (or attempted to). I went to my first rally in downtown Pittsburgh (and oddly, received a condom in a pill pack cover). And like any newbie… I got lost. A lot. And speaking of "cleaning house," I really need to clean my car so it shines for those upcoming state inspections.
December. Yeah, there was this thing called Pittsburgh Magazine (January issue, but that's neither here-nor-there) that included MY NAME in a byline. I'm still pretty stoked.
But we also traveled to a foodie and craft beer adventure to Toronto. Love.

If you've ever struggled to find clothing that matches up with the idea of how you want to look, then maybe you've considered making such clothing yourself! And who knows? There might be other people out there who also want what you have in mind–maybe you can sell clothing to them. It seems fun, and it is, but it's also hard work! Here's an outline of the process. Put who you are into your designs.
1. Write a business plan. Use this as an outline, you can deviate from it a little, but keep this as your map. The important thing is to be as specific and as realistic as possible!
- Funding – How much money will you need in order to launch your clothing line? Consider an SBA loan. Do you have money saved up for this, or will you need bank loan? To get a loan, you might need to have collateral. Read through the rest of this article, then make a list of all of your anticipated costs (materials, manufacturing, supplies, equipment, advertisement, marketing, etc.).
- Research – Who is your competition? Your target market? Get a retail job at a store that caters to your target market. See what they are buying. How much do you think you can sell your designs for at the retail and wholesale level? Ask around. Get feedback. Talk to store owners and potential customers alike. Find examples of clothing that is similar to what you're going to design – where and for how much do they sell?
- Profitability – Do you want to do this full-time? How many years are you willing to wait before this company starts turning a profit, and then giving you a salary? Or do you want it to be a side thing, that if it makes you money, it's a bonus, but you value your expression more than profitability? You'll probably spend more money than you earn for the first four seasons (1 year) but once you're established, you might be able to expand with funding from Angel Investors, celebrities, and pre-orders with store accounts.
- Legalities – Decide on your business structure (LLC? partnership? corporation?). In the US, you'll need a tax ID number, a business license, and you'll also want to fill out a DBA (doing business as) form at your local bank so that you can accept checks written out to your company's name.
- Your brand name and company name can (and should) be different. Your company name, for example, can be your initials or a variation of your own name, while the name of the collection (the clothing line) can be something more creative and representative of the style you're going for.
- Ask whoever is producing your line whether there are any restrictions, such as if they can't print certain colors. If you are designing a t-shirt line, get the following information from the t-shirt printer: size specifications (specs) of the design (how big it can be), the type of shirt you want to print on, and the weight/quality of the fabric (e.g. choose thinner, less expensive fabric for summer clothing lines).
- Detail is everything. When you do your sketches, create a layout that shows every detail clearly and uses the proper terminology–if you don't know what the terminology is, find a photo and show it to the manufacturer and ask what they call it. "Learn the lingo" and be prepared to properly identify the fabric you wish to use by weight (yield), content, and construction.
- Collections are usually designed by season. Most departments stores buy at least two seasons in advance, while smaller stores buy 1-2 seasons ahead. You'll need to time your design, production, and delivery accordingly.
- To find manufacturers, do an Internet search for "clothing manufacturers". Many people use garment manufacturers overseas because the costs are lower. Shop around, and ask for turnaround times and how fast you can get samples sent to you (they should provide samples before your designs are finalized for production).
- If you know how to sew, you may be able to create the patterns and prototypes yourself. Consulting with someone who's an expert at sewing apparel is also an option.
- Write a press release, send it to local newspapers and magazines.
- Purchase ads in papers and on websites that people in your target audience read.
- Sponsor events that cater to your target audience.
- Get a celebrity endorsement (or get the most popular person you know to wear your stuff–give it to them for free).
- Establish relationships with websites and blogs that can bring attention to your brand and site.
- Use yourself as a walking billboard. Wear your own fashions and ask people's opinions and record them; this will also aid you in designing a product people will like. Take every suggestion a person has to offer; it's like having your own marketing and design team and it doesn't cost you a thing. Starting out, money is going to be tight, so take advantage of every opportunity you can.

CAA Paper: Atom Feeds and Linking DataPosted by Eric Kansa under archaeoinformatics , archaeology , Atom , conferences , cyberinfrastructure
No Comments
Just a post to share a draft of a paper authored by myself, Tom Eliot, Sebastian Heath, and Sean Gillies (lots of thanks to them; they are dream co-authors!). I presented it at the CAA meeting in Granada.
The paper describes using Atom feeds for helping content escape scientific / archaeological collections. We looked at how Atom feeds can be used to help third-parties annotate resources obtained from other collections. These annotations (using some common vocabulary) can be useful for looking at a research question like trade and exchange.
Here's the paper (pdf).

Times West Virginian
The magic number is 270.
In many cases, it doesn't matter whether your next-door neighbor or your cousin support a presidential candidate. It doesn't matter if husband and wife are on opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to political viewpoints. All that matters is that one presidential candidate gets to 270 electoral votes. That means that a majority of voters could support one candidate, but the other guy gets to hang out in the Oval Office for four years.
Of course, it's only happened four times in the history of the United States — John Quincy Adams in 1824; Rutheford B. Hayes in 1876; Benjamin Harrison in 1888; and George W. Bush in 2000. As of Saturday afternoon, according to Rassmussen Reports, President Barack Obama and GOP contender Mitt Romney were in a dead heat with 48 percent of the popular vote.
But who's counting that? If so, we'd have a lot more presidential and potential presidential visits in West Virginia. Sadly, we've had none, leaving our voters a little disenchanted and feeling like the red-headed stepchild with all of the attention going to our western neighbor Ohio.
Why? It's a toss-up state. And West Virginia isn't. Our five electoral vote are most certainly going to Mitt Romney. So that means the Obama campaign isn't going to put people on the ground here and try to collect support. And the Romney camp isn't going to bother fostering the support they already know they have.
It just depends on which poll you use to guess where those electoral votes are going to go. According to Rassmussen Reports, Obama has 237 toward the 170 needed, while Romney has 206. That leave 95 toss-up votes from eight states.
But if you click over to Huffington Post, they're reporting that Obama already has 281 votes with really only four undecided states.
Who can say ... it's all about as reliable as astrology. We'll find out come Tuesday.
But in the meantime, we asked our readers to vote in our "election" — our weekly poll question which can be found online each week at www.timeswv.com. Last week we asked "Who is getting your vote as you head to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 6?"
And here are our returns:
• I'm still undecided 1.67 percent.
• Is there a "none of the above" option on the ballot? 7.67 percent.
• Barack Obama 38.33 percent.
• Mitt Romney 52.33 percent
Just for the record, the Huffington Post has voters in West Virginia leaning toward Romney 56 percent and Obama 39 percent. Not too far off from our own.
This week, let's move far away from the election and back to our own backard ... literally. Do you think that an urban deer hunt would help with overpopulation?
Log on. Vote. Email me or respond directly online.
