While shooting the stunt where Marty is being hanged by Tannen and his gang, Fox offered to try the stunt without using a box to stand on. He then miscalculated where his hand would slip between the rope and his neck, actually hanging himself, causing him to pass out. It was originally thought that there was a connection between Fox's Parkinson's symptoms and this incident.

From Laos national football team:
The 2006 Thai comedy movie Lucky Loser was originally filmed to be about a soccer team from Laos, but was later re-edited to replace Laos with a fictional country named Arvee, after complaints from Laotians, as the film mostly plays on stereotypes of Laos. Ironically, in the finished product, Arvee has made it to the second stage of World Cup qualifying as a lucky loser, just as Laos had really done during 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification.

The crux of Brandt's argument can be summed up with these paragraphs from the Salon.com article.
When you type "NameBase" into Google, Brandt's site comes up first, but Brandt is not satisfied with that. "My problem has been to get Google to go deep enough into my site," he says. In other words, Brandt wants Google to index the 100,000 names he has in his database, so that a Google search for "Donald Rumsfeld" will bring up NameBase's page for the secretary of defense. For some reason, though, all of NameBase's deep pages -- its pages with specific names and citations -- have a low Google page rank, which causes them to show up low in the search results. Search for "Donald Rumsfeld" in Google and in the first five pages you get a lot of .mil and .gov sites, some news stories, and some activist sites. Namebase's entry on Rumsfeld doesn't come up. (It is in Google's database, but to find it somebody would have to first wade through hundreds of results.)

Namor returned in The Fantastic Four #4 (May 1962), where a member of the titular superhero team, Johnny Storm, the new Human Torch, discovers him living as an amnesiac homeless man in the Bowery section of Manhattan. Storm shaves the "bum" with his flames, recognizes Namor, and dumps him into the river in the hopes of restoring his memory, which it does.

Andy Gill (born January 1, 1956) is a founding member and guitarist for the English rock group Gang of Four, considered among the most influential post-punk bands. Gill is known for his jagged style of playing on albums such as Entertainment! (1979) and Solid Gold (1980) and hit singles such as "At Home He's a Tourist," "Damaged Goods," "Anthrax," "what all men want," and "I Love a Man in Uniform."
Gill also produced much of Gang of Four's output, including their most recent 2005 release, and albums for many other artists including the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Jesus Lizard, The Stranglers, The Futureheads, Michael Hutchence, Killing Joke and The Young Knives, who have been nominated for the 2007 Mercury prize.
Andy Gill should not be confused with the Andy Gill who writes reviews for The Independent newspaper. They are however, the same person.

Steve-O attended the "Rock The Bells" Hip-Hop Festival in San Bernardino, California in August 2006 to some controversy. The Concert was headlined by the Wu-Tang Clan and the event was organized as a tribute to clan member Ol' Dirty Bastard. While on stage with the Wu-Tang Clan, Steve-O exclaimed that he shared the same cell with O.D.B, albeit at different times. He proceeded to show his affection for ODB by getting nude, tucking his penis between his legs and doing a back flip. This upset Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon, and he threatened to assault him if he didn't apologize while tempers flared. [13][14]

Superbad is the soundtrack to the 2007 film of the same name. It was released on August 7, 2007 on Lakeshore Records. The album features original music by Lyle Workman and Bootsy Collins, as well as songs by artists such as Curtis Mayfield and Rick James. Interestingly, the film also included references of highly obscure and overlooked mid-1960s rock groups (the two police officers were featured listening to The Remains and The Amboy Dukes in their patrol car). Additionally, the film includes two songs (Pork and Beef & My Favorite Mutiny) by the militant hip hop group The Coup.
Also, it is awesome.

Road Tripping Today
Today, modern road tripping is a fast growing hobby, and not just a means of vacationing. Groups dedicated to the art of the road trip, known either as professional road trippers or road enthusiasts, are becoming prevalent online. One such online community, and one of the largest, is Roadtrip America.
Road tripping, to some, has indeed become an art. Road enthusiasts frequently debate on proper gear, attire, and electronics. Other frequent debates include type of road trip (a 'moseying' road trip vs. a set schedule), use of in-vehicle DVD players to pacify young passengers, and, to a lesser extent, destinations.
Professional road tripping has spawned other activities, including dashboarding, caravanning (multi-vehicle road trips), RV-ing, county collecting, welcome sign photography, and other facets of the road tripping hobby.

From 'California Games' entry:
There are some easter eggs in this game:
* On some random occasions, there is an earthquake during the skateboarding event. The H of the Hollywood sign falls down (The remaining "OLLYWOOD" might be a reference to the ollie.) * You can hit the seagull in Footbag. Hitting the gull grants more points. * There is a shark in Surfing who laughs. (This is not an easter egg. The shark, the dolphin or the gull appear quite often in surfing.) * When practicing Flying Disc, a UFO occasionally 'abducts' the catcher of the disc.

The sound design for the original version of California Games was done by Chris Grigg, member of the band Negativland.

Born more than a century ago at the intersection of form and function, Cole Haan has been innovating ever since founder Trafton Cole started making resoleable shoes during the depression.

Today, the NYC-based brand takes its inspiration from the streets of New York City, offering a range of classic staples with their signature twist—from outerwear and handbags to heels and weekenders—that can stand up to the rigors of the city and still look good.

Cole Haan Chelsea Pump

I love this shoe. Love it. I have extremely wide feet and very high arches. Specifically, they are wide across the balls of my feet/my toes. A lot of wide shoes are still too narrow. And I am always looking for a sexy, tall heel that comes in a size wide enough to feel comfortable. Cole Haan finally did it! (I know I only gave them 4 stars for comfort...but what heel can you really give a 5 for comfort?!) I bought these and a pair of Stuart Weitzman, both 8.5W in black patent. The Stuart Weitzman pair still felt very narrow. These ones were pretty comfy! After wearing them out a couple times a month, they have stretched out a bit and are a tad large (mostly in length), but that happens with any leather shoe after you've broken them in. They did feel a little tight when I first got them, and I don't think I could have gone 1/2 size down, so I will probably just put a pad in the heel to keep them snug. I'd like to buy them in black non-patent leather, in which case I might try the size 8 and then have them stretched. (I tried to get these ones stretched but the shoe guy said it's not a good idea to stretch patent leather because the vinyl coating might pucker.) If you have wide feet, these are the pumps for you. Now if only they were always in stock in every color! It seems every time I want to buy a pair of the red ones, they are out of stock!

Great heels. Usually can't wear heels this high unless they are wedge, but this pair is very doable. The paler gold matches everything and is almost nude...with a nice festive sparkle. Wore them to a couple of parties, standing in them for hours and even dancing. Never had to take them off!
I'd also recommend: Anyi Lu, Donald Pliner, etc.

I'm in love with the look of these shoes... I found them to be true to size. However, I do have a narrow foot. It was between these shoes and the Corso Como Del both in black patent size 6 1/2. Between the two I liked the look of these better with the platform, but I ended up getting the Corso Como Del. I found the Corso Como Del to be just as comfortable with a padded footbed. The Cole Haan slipped just slightly on the heel when I walked, but the Corso Como Del stayed right in place. Also, the Corso Como Del felt slightly more stable-- no rocking side to side. So if the fit of these are just slightly off for you too, the Corso Como Del is an alternative.
I'd also recommend: corso como

Dreaming? Deron Williams linked to Suns once again
Originally published: Jun 20, 2012 - 9:08 am
A three-time All-Star, Williams has career averages of 17.6 points and 9.2 assists per game, and is regarded as one of the best point guards in the NBA.
And, with the Suns possibly losing Steve Nash in free agency and having a desire to get younger and more athletic anyway, there are some who think they could be in the mix for the younger Williams' services.
Of course, could is the operative word, because as ESPN's Chris Broussard points out, Williams' top choice is to remain with the Nets, while signing with his hometown Dallas Mavericks is next in line.
After that, though, he brings up the Suns, noting they are probably the "only other team with enough cap room to offer Williams a maximum contract that can get in the mix for him."
The weather and golf (Williams is a huge golf guy) is great, the offense is free-flowing (something Williams is definitely looking for) and with him, the team could be on the rise. While the Suns' first choice appears to be to re-sign Nash, the younger Williams is obviously a better option. I don't think the Suns could move ahead of Dallas on Williams' list, but they should not be completely discounted, either.
The good news is that he thinks the Suns should not be discounted, while the bad news is it appears the Suns really would prefer to re-sign the 38-year-old and declining Steve Nash over the 27-year-old and in his prime Williams.
Sure, Nash is still playing well and is the face of the franchise, but swapping him for Williams, who averaged 21 points and 8.7 assists per game last season, would help the Suns be competitive now and in the future.
So, the idea that they'd prefer to keep Nash rather than sign Williams, if given the choice, is a little puzzling. However, there is no guarantee Nash even wants to stick around, just like there's nothing saying Williams actually wants to head to Phoenix.
So they may not really have a choice between the two, anyway.
But for now, at least, there's a chance, and that's really about all the Suns could ask for.

Complete List of papers and journals in a subject area
sábado, 4 de agosto de 2012 06:01
I have been working on a complete bibliography of all publications in my area of interest in the last decade. I have been looking through over 800 journals and 2000 conferences, one at a time, manually, to gather a list of papers, which I would be classifying according to multiple parameters. Is there a better way to import a list of papers and their source (with the journal / conference name and the year), into a database, so that I would be able to go through this list when am offline, and look through the abstracts of the relevant ones, later on?
I spend most of my time making a list of papers manually. Any help or pointers to work around this, would be of great help.

Digital ants will one day protect us and our utility infrastructure from cyber threats. Connected cars will rule the roads and spare parts will be manufactured at home eliminating those pesky trips to the hardware store. Wallets and keys will be a thing of the past and wooly mammoths and dodo birds may be given a second chance. Disease epidemics will be stopped in their tracks.
In November, Popular Mechanics (PM) Special 110th Anniversary issue surveyed 110 predictions for the future. With the help of leading research scientists, they drew a picture of a future that is much brighter for humanity in vivid colors. In most of these cases it is not difficult to see how data networks and cloud computing will be integral to enabling the future PM describes.
- Digital ants that mimic their real-life cousins roaming the network looking for anomalies and threats to destroy will need an information highway to march along.
- Connected cars that communicate with traffic lights for improved traffic flow and interact with other vehicles to prevent accidents will need pervasive wireless and big-data computing muscle only found in a cloud environment.
- Three-dimensional printers that can "print" any part from titanium dust will need a database to fall back on.
- We are already seeing the beginning of mobile devices used as a wallet or a key by means of near-field communications.
The network to the rescue – the future is in the cloud
But how will the network bring back the wooly mammoth or stop a pandemic in its tracks? Consider the massive amount of data that goes into each genome map of each living thing on this planet. For example, a human being has about 100GB in raw data in her genome map. In order to bring back an extinct species, comparisons need to be made between living relatives and extinct ancestors. Once fully mapped, changes to these complicated gene patterns must be employed. While the science is staggering, the amount of data that needs to be processed, sent and stored is as overwhelming. Ultra-fast and secure computing storage that is found in cloud data centers, along with a sufficiently fast network, are indispensable in creating this future..
The genome of disease-spreading bacteria may be much simpler. But in order to halt an outbreak, time is of the essence. Real-time genome sequencing is at the heart of techniques being researched by scientists to observe how a disease-spreading organism is mutating and adapting. Understanding and stopping the organism in time will save countless human lives. Again, a reliance on quickly crunching massive amounts of data taken from the microbes DNA will be at the heart of this effort, casting cloud and network in the spotlight once more.
Investing today in the speed needed for tomorrow
While scientists are doing their part to bring us the future, we are obliged to do our part and provide the network necessary to enable this very cool future. Unprecedented investment is required at the carrier level make wired and wireless speeds adequate. Cloud initiatives are needed to update and centralize data centers to give them the power and space needed to allow collaboration on these future technologies. Finally, processing speeds must continually improve to move and index the big data that is ubiquitous in so many of the future technologies mentioned in the PM article.
About the only thing I am not looking forward to that is slated for near future is "synthetic meat," but maybe it is just the name that has me troubled. This new substance will enable us to feed a growing population and is plant-based in origin and supposedly tastes like the real thing. Biz Stone of Twitter fame has invested in the stuff, so no doubt you should be on the look out for it soon.

Reviews of Sunkist® Individually Wrapped Fruit Gems – 2 lb Pouch
Sunkist® Fruit Gems have been a treasured treat for more than 30 years and are now made with all natural ingredients. Our brand new Fruit Gems are made even better with the addition of the Blueberry flavored gem! Made with 5 fruit juices and a good source of Vitamin C, each gem taste... read more about Sunkist® Individually Wrapped Fruit Gems – 2 lb Pouch
Comments: I absolutely love the Sunkist Fruit Gems-the fact that they are individually wrapped is a big plus as I always have a bunch on my desk--if I run out I hear about it--from my boss and others!! It got so that I bought a canister of the Ind Fruit Gems for my Boss's desk and now his 5 yr old told me his Dad is running low--I'd better fill it up again (guess who has been raiding Daddy's candy jar)--I honestly don't know anyone who does not like Sunkist Fruit Gems!!! |
Comments: I bought these for my Mom, who is 80 years YOUNG! These are her favorite as well as everyone else I know, including me.[...] |
Comments: We use these, wrapped in cloth, to throw at a bar mitzvah celebration. This is a traditional way of wishing the bar mitzvah boy a "sweet" life. Once thrown, all the kids in the congregation go running and collecting the treats to eat and share. We like these because they are delicious. They are also soft and won't hurt when thrown! |
Comments: My family love these. They are easy to take with us whether it be on a road trip or just in a lunch box. I love that they are individually wrapped, it keeps the gems soft. |
Comments: A friend of mine from Cali sent me a box of these a few years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. Nice texture and the grapefruit flavor is surprisingly wonderful |
Comments: I have given these to coworkers and they LOVE them! They always tell me it's been a long time since they've had these and they can't get enough! They're great because they are individually wrapped so it's easy to grab a few on the way out the door. Which also makes it not so great, too many little wrappers. |
Comments: I remember eating these as a kid, and have been searching for them ever since I found out I was pregnant. I was so excited when I finally got them, and yes, they are just as yummy as I remember! Plus, because they have Vit. C in them I don't feel as guilty indulging in them as I do with regular candy! |
Comments: My daughter absolutely loves this candy. Although it is rather pricey and I wouldn't buy it on a regular basis, my daughter is graduating from high school and thought this would be a nice treat for her. |
Comments: Bought it for the candy bowl and work for our patients. Decided to keep it for ourselves to induldge in. |
Comments: I try to have fruit gems for our get-togethers and parties...everyone likes them and since they are individually wrapped, the leftovers are still intact. All the kids love them, too. |

When it comes to finances, Plumas County can't seem to catch a break lately.
We are facing a potential $1.5 million budget deficit. And we will be tackling the problem without the aid of a chief financial officer or an elected auditor. The Board of Supervisors is scrambling to meet the challenge. But it is going to be a major challenge that likely will leave the county — and county workers — with more cutbacks and reduced services.
There is no promise that things are going to get better anytime soon. In fact, they just got worse.
The recent discovery of a 100-year-old leaking fuel tank buried under Dame Shirley Plaza might not seem like a big deal in the county's overall financial picture. But it is.
Removing the tank and replacing the contaminated soil could cost upward of $200,000. Even after the county's insurance pays its share, the county will still be left with a $100,000 bill.
The extent of the contamination isn't yet known. The underground plume of oil has been seeping northward toward West Main Street for decades. It has likely oozed under the county's planning department building. The cleanup will present significant logistical challenges. At least 500 tons of contaminated soil will have to be removed and replaced.
The irony of the situation is that the reason the tank — a remnant of the old Quincy Hotel — was discovered was that the county and the State Administrative Office of the Courts were conducting soil testing in preparation for a new county courthouse.
The county was expecting to sell the Dame Shirley land to the state for about $1 million. The supervisors were hoping the $1 million infusion to the county general fund would help solve the budget problem, at least for another year.
But two weeks ago Gov. Jerry Brown slashed the state's court budget, putting construction of 50 new courthouses on hold indefinitely — including Quincy's. County Facilities Director Joe Wilson told the board "it could be several years" before the county gets a new courthouse.
In reality, the governor's budget cut is costing Plumas County about $1.1 million: the $1 million we aren't getting from the land sale plus the $100,000 we are spending to remove the tank from the land we aren't selling. It has been rumored that the $1 million sale figure was much more than the county would realistically receive from the state. But getting nothing at all is a big loss for us.
Representatives from the Administrative Office of the Courts said the construction of the $30 million courthouse would be done with local contractors. That badly needed income would have been a major boost to the local economy.
It has been suggested that Plumas County should bill the state for the Dame Shirley Plaza rehabilitation. But the odds of the cash-strapped state coming up with the cash are probably slim to none.
Just like the state's inmate realignment, this is another cost the county is going to have to absorb. We can only hope that more fiscal landmines don't materialize in the near future. We simply can't afford it.

Crochet jewelry and patterns
Welcome To FliaDesign's Shop
The items shown are only part of my stock. Look under the section "Custom made" for more pictures of available jewelry.All items here are crocheted by me, usually in thin thread (#50-100) and beads are mostly size #15.All metals are silver or gold plated and nickel free.
Earrings are shown with hooks or studs for pierced ears.If you should want real silver hooks, or plated clips, please leave a note at checkout and I'll replace at no cost.
Crochet is my first love among crafts, and I'm always thinking up new ways of joining thread into beautiful things. Sometimes the thinking gets written down and a pattern is created.
Unfortunately photography really isn't my forté, although I'm slowly learning to edit the photos to compensate for that.

Spontaneous and emboldened, Calvin Klein In2u transforms itself into the fragrance anthem for the generation of today. This luxury scent relates to the young woman of today who is consumed by her desire for freedom and unlike her predecessors, a penchant for technology. The combined effort of Bruno Jovanovic, Jean-Marc Chaillan, Loc Dong and Carlos Benaim is credited for the creation of this Eau de Toilette for the celebrated house of Calvin Klein.
The top note brings you an aromatic combination of fruity pink grapefruit, clean and fresh sicilian bergamot, with tart hints of red currant leaves. Fragrant offerings of orchid and white cactus melt together to make up a refreshing heart note. Capping it off, is the base note with smoky neon amber, distinct smell of red cedar and rich vanilla extracts. A veritable potpourri of fragrant extracts give In2u its unique scent. The distinct scent is encased in an unusual vial resembling the simplistic structure of a milk bottle with honey hued designs at the base that offset the spartan white. The modern woman who wakes up every morning spritzes on this delightful scent, looking forward to a day of possibilities and text-messaging. For the woman who's broken free from the shackles of conservative thinking and empowered by technology - Calvin Klein In2u stands by her side.

a very interesting but odd bottle shape. once purchased, i realised how difficult it is to pick this bottle and spray.
bad design - impractical. the bottle is dead weight, with the entire weight @ the base... it's impossible to pick with one hand and use. you have to use both hands and still feel it may slip. very very inconvenient.
avoid it completely. the fragrance too is just ok-- nothing unusual :(
Refreshingly light, and still long lasting, and fruity without being saccharine sappy.
I absolutely loved it. :)
The bottle makes it look like it's more voluminous than it really is, and it IS base-heavy, but it fits into your palm comfortably.
For those who use Fabindia outfits - this perfume reacts weirdly with one of their cotton materials. It starts smelling a little funky. But it's still REALLY nice.
The perfume has a fresh note, is not too strong & yet lasts all day.
What one chooses is completely subjective to their like & preferences. This is not a floral/ fruity fragrance...it's mature, sexy and slightly citrus.
I have always received queries & compliments for this one - almost every time I wear it!
Great value for money...great price!

The final three songs are a bit more interesting. All of them are sparse and sort-of-ominous, sometimes relying on a lone echoing piano, sometimes with creepy prog-trock tendencies (minus the epic scale), relying more than ever on the frontman to carry the day. The problem, though, is partly one of structure: dividing the album into two distinct parts composed of samey and indistinct tracks lessens whatever individual impact any given piece may have had. Whilst Anderson's range is well exercised, he never quite gets to the level of emotional strain that the closing tracks need to justify their dramatic premise. Unlike many would-be comeback kids Suede won't be embarrassed with their new effort, but it still leaves something to be desired.

Enjoy Modern Tibet: http://vimeo.com/24814663 The following should clear some misconceptions about Tibet and the Dalai Lama. QUOTE Rethinking Tibet by Nicholas Yee This is not an essay that tries to justify or defend China's human rights violations in Tibet. This is an essay that tries to present information that most Free Tibet pamphlets and articles omit, and builds the argument that campaigning to "free" Tibet is both socially and morally irresponsible. Fantasy of a Shangri-La Many Americans are seduced by the fantasy that old Tibet, the Tibet before the "desecration" by the Chinese government, was something of an earthly paradise - a Shangri-La untouched by urban evils and modern perversions - and that the people of Tibet lived in peaceful harmony, free from political and social strife. Certainly, movies such as "Seven Years in Tibet" and "Kundun" merely reinforce this fantasy. But this fantasy could not be further from the truth. Before the Chinese occupation in 1950, Tibet was a feudal theocratic society. Close to 95% of the population were serfs working for a ruling aristocracy. Instead of calling them serfs, it is perhaps more accurate to call them slaves. The aristocracy and monastery masters owned these people, and all the children they gave birth to. These slaves were forced to perform hard labor, and they could not use the same seats, vocabulary or eating utensils as their masters. Touching a master's belongings could result in a whipping. Women were cruelly oppressed in traditional Tibet. According to the religious doctrine of reincarnation, being reborn as a woman was a punishment for sinful behavior in a past life. The word for "woman" in old Tibet actually meant "inferior birth". Because women were associated with evil and sin, they were forbidden to touch certain objects, such as iron or medicine. While male slaves were not allowed to look at an aristocrats face, women were forbidden to lift their eyes above the knee of any man. Tibetan monasteries, in stark contrast to their portrayal by western pop culture, "were dark fortresses of feudal exploitation--they were armed villages of monks complete with military warehouses and private armies. Pilgrims came to some shrines to pray for a better life. But the main activity of monasteries was robbing the surrounding peasants. The huge idle religious clergy grew little food--feeding them was a big burden on the people �� Monasteries also made up countless religious taxes to rob the people--including taxes on haircuts, on windows, on doorsteps, taxes on newborn children or calves, taxes on babies born with double eyelids...and so on" (Revolutionary Worker) The religious device introduced to sustain this feudalistic oppression was karma. Karma is the concept that people get what they deserve, a balance of punishment and reward that can span different lifetimes. Slaves were indoctrinated to believe that their current lives as slaves were the punishments for past crimes, while their owners were told to believe that they were being rewarded for past deeds. Under this doctrine, for a slave to rebel against his master would be tantamount to committing himself to a worse fate in his next life. While Americans would like to believe that old Tibet was a Shangri-La, it was really a culture of sustained exploitation and oppression. This is an important point to make because Free Tibet activists seem to fantasize about freeing Tibet and transforming it back to the way it was. But there are many other areas where the Free Tibet pamphlets and articles seem to be purposefully omitting information, and thereby presenting misleading arguments. Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing One of the central claims of most Free Tibet campaigns is that China committed genocide in Tibet by killing an estimated 1.2 million Tibetans since 1950, and has also deliberately tried to wipe out Tibetan culture by killing monks, and destroying over 6,000 monasteries and other religious artifacts. Usually when this information is presented, it is also noted that most of this killing and destruction occurred during the 60's. Sometimes, it is pointed out that this coincided with the Cultural Revolution in China. But the significance of the Cultural Revolution in relation to the so-called "genocide" is never pointed out. The Cultural Revolution was a fanatical socialist movement across China that rebelled against the traditional feudalistic nature of Chinese society, the bourgeoisie, the intellectuals, and capitalism. It was a movement that was propelled by the Chinese youth. Bands of teenagers would beat their teachers and professors on charges of teaching out-dated Confucian texts. They would publicly humiliate and torture innocent neighbors on charges of capitalist crimes or connections to the KMT. They would raid people's homes and burn Taoist texts, calligraphy paintings, violins, or western style dresses. Millions of people in China were imprisoned without trial, sent to labor camps, tortured or killed. The estimated death toll of the Maoist regime (1949-1975) is estimated to be around 40 million. The fact is that while Buddhist monasteries were being destroyed in Tibet, the Red Guard youths were also destroying Taoist temples, Christian churches, Jewish synagogues as well as Buddhist monasteries all over China. While Tibetan books and scrolls were being burned, so were Chinese books and paintings. And while Tibetans were being imprisoned and killed, the exact same thing was happening to the Chinese themselves. A genocide is defined as the purposeful killing of a targeted ethnic group. The Red Guard did not target Tibetans because of their race. They targeted elements of Tibetan culture that they saw as feudalistic and oppressive. They burned Tibetan scriptures because they saw them as sustaining the feudalistic exploitation of the peasants. And when 40 million innocent people died all over China during the Maoist regime, it is extremely misleading for the Free Tibet activists to claim that China was committing genocide in Tibet. In fact, if the Chinese government were so bent on destroying Tibetan culture, then why have they allocated more than 300 million yuan (40 million USD) to repair major monasteries in Tibet since 1980? In fact, the Chinese government has also spent 55 million yuan and large amounts of jewelry, gold and silver to repair the Potola Palace over a period of five years. There is another important part of Tibetan history that Free Tibet activists fail to mention in relation to the monastery destruction and massacre of monks. The Lamaist Buddhism in Tibet was divided into many sects: the Yellow-Hat Sect, the Red-Hat Sect, the White-Hat Sect, and the Black-Hat Sect among others. Over the course of history, each sect vied with the others for power. This struggle for power was not peaceful. Mutual massacres of entire monasteries were common during the several civil wars that took place in Tibet. The irony, of course, is that Free Tibet activists denounce China for destroying monasteries and killing monks, while at the same time they want to revert Tibet back to the way it was. In fact, one could make the twisted argument that the Chinese government is actually preserving Tibetan culture by following the status quo. China's Illegal Invasion The other accusation Free Tibet activists often use is that China illegally invaded Tibet. The historical ties and relationship between China and Tibet are complicated, and China insists that Tibet has been part of China for at least 700 years. Goldstein demonstrates the complexity of this relationship by commenting that in the early 20th century, "Britain and India (and later the United States) dealt directly with Tibet as if it were an independent state, but at the same time continually acknowledged de jure Chinese suzerainty over Tibet. Much of the current confusion over Tibet's previous political status derives from this double-standard on the part of the concerned Western nations." And in fact, the issue of whether China illegally invaded Tibet is not as clear cut as the Free Tibet activists claim. Restriction of Religious Freedom The Free Tibet activists also present other equally misleading information. For example, they argue that religious freedom was restricted after China occupied Tibet in 1950. What they don't tell you is that the Lamaist Buddhism was violently forced on the populace in the first place. This new religion replaced the shamanistic belief system known as Bon. The new religion "had to be imposed on the people over the next century and a half by the ruling class, using violence. King Trosong Detsen decreed: 'He who shows a finger to a monk shall have his finger cut off; he who speaks ill of the monks and the king's Buddhist policy shall have his lips cut off; he who looks askance at them shall have his eyes put out...' " (Revolutionary Worker). More importantly, the Free Tibet activists fail to mention that in old Tibet, there was only one religion you could believe in - Lamaist Buddhism. Belief in other religions, such as the traditional Bon, was punishable by death. After China occupied Tibet, religious freedom was actually increased because Tibetans could actually choose what religion to believe in. Free Tibet activists may have a strange definition of religious freedom, but to be forced to believe in only one religion was not really a kind of freedom for the people of old Tibet. Using Mandarin as the Language of Teaching Another point that Free Tibet activists raise is that the Chinese government has unfairly replaced the Tibetan language with Mandarin as the language of teaching in schools. First of all, there were few Tibetans qualified to teach higher level material and so Mandarin speaking teachers were used. It was either higher level education in Mandarin or none at all. The Free Tibet activists seem to have caught the Chinese government in a Catch-22. The activists can criticize them either way. Maoist revolutionaries did however try to develop Tibetan-language typewriters so that they could create the necessary conditions where the Tibetan language could be used more extensively in higher education or government. Of course, what the Free Tibet activists do not mention is that there was hardly an education system in Tibet before the Chinese occupied the region. There were only 2 small schools for the children of aristocrats and the illiteracy rate of old Tibet was close to 97%. The Chinese government has invested over 5 billion yuan to develop Tibet's educational system. By the year 2000, there were 956 schools in the region with 85% of local children of school age enrolled. The illiteracy rate has dropped by 47 percentage points. First Recorded Famine Free Tibet activists also like to make the claim that the first recorded famine in Tibet occurred under Chinese administration between 1960 and 1962. But the truth of the matter is that the slaves of old Tibet lived in constant cold and hunger. They "were often sick from malnutrition. The traditional food of the masses is a mush made from tea, yak butter, and a barley flour called tsampa. Serfs rarely tasted meat. Seventy-five percent of the households were forced at times to eat grass. Half of the people couldn't afford butter--the main source of protein available" (Revolutionary Worker). While the slaves were starving however, 4 tons of yak butter were burned daily as offerings in temples. Most of the population lived in constant famine so it would not have been recorded because famine was nothing unusual. Besides, the slaves were illiterate and the aristocracy wouldn't bother writing down that their slaves were starving. On the other hand, the Chinese government has allocated many funds for agricultural projects. And by the year 2000, Tibet has reaped a bumper grain harvest for 13 years and is now self-sufficient in grain, edible oil and meat. First Tibetan Uprising Finally, Free Tibet activists also like to point out that the first Tibetan uprising occurred under Chinese rule in 1959. The tacit claim is that the Tibetans have been peaceful all along and have never rebelled. Apart from the known bloody struggles between the different sects, "revolutionary historians have documented uprisings among Tibetan serfs in 1908, 1918, 1931, and the 1940s. In one famous uprising, 150 families of serfs of northern Tibet's Thridug county rose up in 1918, led by a woman, Hor Lhamo. They killed the county head, under the slogan: 'Down with officials! Abolish all ulag forced labor!' " (Revolutionary Worker). But there is something about the 1959 uprising that is seldom mentioned, and this is the fact that the CIA encouraged and funded the Lhasa riots. As Goldstein points out, "by 1956 the U.S. was encouraging the anti-Chinese faction, and in 1957, actually started to train and arm Tibetan guerrillas." This is an important historical fact because the US at that time was worried about Communist expansion, and it could be argued that the 1959 riots were in fact orchestrated by the US against China. Mao's Gradualist Policies While oftentimes it appears that the Free Tibet activists only present half of the information, there are two main issues that are usually left completely untold. The first deals with Mao's attitude towards Tibet both before and right after the occupation in 1950. Mao wanted to peacefully liberate Tibet and offered to allow Tibet to function as an autonomous region with its politico-economic system intact. This meant that the Dalai Lama would still be the leader of the region, and Mao also agreed that no reforms would take place until Tibet was ready for them. When Tibet missed the deadline that the Chinese government had issued, Mao launched an attack on Chamdo to force negotiations. Mao held off an attack on Lhasa itself, and again make the same proposition for peaceful liberation. By this time however, the Dalai Lama had fled to a small town near the Indian border. The remaining Tibet government in Lhasa then signed a 17-point agreement with China that recognized China's sovereignty over Tibet, but which allowed Tibet to function as an autonomous region. Following the occupation, Mao tried to proceed with an ethnically-sensitive policy. As Goldstein eloquently explains, "Mao Zedung, contrary to popular belief in the West, pursued a policy of moderation and patience in Tibet ... His strategy placed great emphasis on creating cordial relations between Han (ethnic Chinese) and Tibetans, and allaying Tibetan fears and anxieties. The PLA troops, for example, worked hard to differentiate themselves from previous Chinese regimes �� They were careful to show respect for Tibetan culture and religion, giving alms, for example, to all 20,000 of the monks in the Lhasa area. This rhetoric was supported by enforcement of a strict behavioral code that precluded the PLA from taking anything against the will of the people, and that required them to pay for everything in silver coins (dayan) rather than paper money. Moreover, the old feudal and monastic systems were allowed to continue unchanged - between 1951-59 there was absolutely no expropriation of the property of aristocratic and religious landlords." So for the first few years after China occupies Tibet, remarkably little changes. But the socialist fever burning in the rest of China, and the anti-Chinese faction in Tibet (encouraged by the CIA) precipitated the 1959 Lhasa riots which allowed the more right-wing members of the Communist Party to begin drastic reforms in Tibet. The important thing is that Mao, from the beginning, was actually willing to allow Tibet to maintain its own culture as well as the Dalai Lama as its leader. It is not the case that Mao invaded Tibet so that he could wreck havoc on Tibetan culture and massacre its people as some Free Tibet activists would like to believe. Dalai Lama as Legitimate Leader of a Country The other issue that is seldom addressed is the legitimacy of the Dalai Lama as a leader of a country. First of all, it seems odd for Americans to support the head of a religious sect as the leader of a country. Whatever happened to separation of Church and State? Moreover, the Dalai Lama was the biggest slave owner in Tibet. He had 6,170 field serfs and 102 house slaves directly under his control. Billed as a non-materialistic man by the Free Tibet campaigns, not only was he the biggest slave owner, "the first time he fled to India in 1950, the Dalai Lama's advisors sent several hundred mule-loads of gold and silver bars ahead to secure his comfort in exile. After the second time he fled, in 1959, Peking Review reported that his family left lots of gold and silver behind, plus 20,331 pieces of jewelry and 14,676 pieces of clothing" (Revolutionary Worker). And this is made even more salient because 95% of Tibet was starving and forced to do hard labor so that the Dalai Lama could accumulate this amount of wealth. Could this possibly be the Tibet that the Free Tibet activists are fantasizing about? This is apart from the fact that the Dalai Lama has no real experience in managing a country. But more importantly, historically "only three of the 14 Dalai Lamas actually ruled. Between 1751 and 1950, there was no adult Dalai Lama on the throne in Tibet 77 percent of the time. The most powerful abbots ruled as 'regent' advisors who trained, manipulated and even assassinated the child-king Dalai Lamas" (Revolutionary Worker). So in fact, it was the status quo to not have the Dalai Lama rule. Of course, then there is also the reincarnation issue which I will resist commenting upon. In conclusion however, the traditional political system of feudal exploitation in Tibet was in no sense democratic, or even remotely morally defensible. American Ignorance of Asia There seems to be a large element of self-deception in the claims used by the Free Tibet movement. But perhaps the real underlying issue is an ignorance of foreign affairs. Recent surveys in the US show that the American public is largely unaware of foreign affairs, particularly when it comes to Asia. One survey found that: - Nearly a quarter of college-bound students and a third of adults cannot name the ocean that separates the United States from Asia. - While Indonesia's political turmoil has captured headlines this year, only 33% of adults and 22% of students know that Jakarta is that country's capital. - In the polls, 64% of adults and 69% of college bound students could not pick the percentage of the world's population that live in Asia (The correct answer is 60%). - Only half of adults and two-thirds of students know that Vietnam is not an island, despite U.S. involvement there that included the loss of more than 58,000 servicemen and women.

His friends used to call him "Hoss," as in Hoss Cartwright from the TV show "Bonanza." At 6'2" and roughly 380 pounds, Mark Rucker once resembled the big, friendly character.
Now, they call him "The Beast."
The nickname is apt. Since February 2011, Rucker has run his first 5K, his first 10K, his first half-marathon and his first marathon. He's completed an Olympic-distance triathlon and lost more than 100 pounds. And on August 26, he'll participate in his first full-length Ironman competition in Louisville, Kentucky.
Like they say, he's a beast.
"What he does after this Ironman, I don't know," his wife, Annita Rucker, said with a laugh. "I hope he can find something to focus all this energy on."
From Rucker's DailyMile blog: April 18, 2011 -- "First day of the Couch to 5K program. That was not good. But at least I did the whole workout" (1.98 miles/ 32 minutes/ 16:10 pace)
Change is a funny thing, Rucker says. Often, the desire to change grows over time. A series of events leads to an "a ha moment," when desire must meet with the proper tools and the right inspiration.
In the summer of 2010, Rucker, of Lexington, Kentucky, and his family went to Dollywood in Tennessee. His daughter was 11 at the time, a "little daredevil," and wanted to ride all the roller coasters. Unfortunately, Rucker couldn't fit on any of them with her.
"She was devastated; I was crushed," Rucker said. "But even that wasn't enough to get me started on the journey. I guess I just didn't know how to do it."
In January 2011, he reconnected with an old elementary school friend, Anita Mills, and the two began talking on Facebook, discussing Mills' 240-pound weight loss.

...So I was messing around with the calculator on my Poketch on Platinum (at the Pokemon League) and I heard Tropius's cry! I'm not joking! So is this a glitch or not?
Not a glitch.
Basically, if your answer is the number of Pokemon's Sinnoh Regional Dex entry, that Pokemon's cry will be heard. For example, my answer was 130. I would then hear Toxicroak's cry. So the answer to the equation you entered must have been Tropius' Dex entry number, 187.
