This summer, Chronoswiss plays sponsor to the fascination of classic cars twice, sending four-wheeled treasures to both the Trentino Classic and the Deutschland Klassik:
Trentino Classic:
From 25 to 29 August 2010, this very special old timer event takes place in the Italian Fassatal. For the seventh time, historical and classic automobiles go driving through the beautiful landscape between Lake Garda and the Dolomites. Chronoswiss has sponsored this event since the beginning and will once again present the winners with watches in 2010: specially designed versions of the Klassik Chronograph with the Trentino logo make the experience unforgettable.
Deutschland Klassik:
The Deutschland Klassik will take place June 24 through June 27: the first German classic car touring event is scheduled to be held in a different German region every year. The Ruhrgebiet with Essen as European cultural city of the year represents the beginning. The winner will receive a valuable Chronoswiss, a special edition of the Timemaster Flyback decorated with the rally's logo. Gerd-Rüdiger Lang wouldn't miss the premier of the Deutschland Klassik for anything, participating with his own classic Jaguar.

Nice hostal. We had a front room which was very noisy, people standing in the doorway talking loudly during the night. But would recommend, nice breakfast, couldn't get wifi in bedroom, only in foyer.

The location is excellent. The place is a bit old so are the beds, mattresses, etc but its in general very clean. Its a good value for money given the location and also the fact that you have a good breakfast (bread, ham, cheese, jams, coffee, tea, juice, cereals)

Ultimate Driving Machine Indeed!
by Casey on 08/10/2010.
Trim: 2006 BMW M3 Convertible, Owned less than 1 year.
THIS CAR IS UNBELIEVEABLE! The styling, the handling and performance is incredible! I brought it a month ago and it is hands down the best car I have ever driven. It is a total sports car which you have to keep in mind though. It still rides like a dream and never disappoints you when you step on the gas! This car is definately the "Ultimate Driving Machine". She is not for the beginner. She handles perfectly as long as you know what you are doing. The new M3 is amazing but I still love this body style the most. This is truly a great car with a great balance of class and power! I highly recommend it! Once you drive a BMW, especially this M3, it will be hard for you to drive anything else!
Other than a few hard morning starts & leaving her alone in parking lots.. NOTHING!
Overall review:
AMAZING WORK OF ART! You just need to drive it to understand! You will not regret it! Put the top down, take her out for a drive on a curvy canyon road and open her up! You will love it! She aims to please that is for sure and will not disappoint you! She is like an F16 Fighter Jet on wheels!

"High Performance Bimmer"
by Invisible Silver Streak from S. MD. on 03/29/2012.
Trim: 2006 BMW M3 Coupe.
Bought this Competition Packaged M-3 in 2009 with 23K miles and am the second owner. It's not a Porshe Carrera or a Z 06 but it is a sports sedan that has all-around balance. This little Bimmer won't disapoint you and love to turn off the HK Radio and listen to high reving ponnies roar through the Sunday S bends.. If you grudenly drive it less than 70, It'll get 26 MPG and 18 in the city. The car is mechanically perfect thus far and I much prefer this E-46 M-3 body over the current V-8 new M-3's. I you can find one of these Tigers that's been serviced ,maintained and with low miles, it's a definite plus to your garage. I know one thing for sure, I'm not parting with mine.
CoulD use a little more low end Torque but will be fixing it with Dinan Supercharger Only complaint I have is from a rear sagging headliner that just appeared.

This Bimmer is a Tiger on the hunt seeking S Bend country Roads.

612: Estimation
Estimation |
Title text: They could say "the connection is probably lost," but it's more fun to do naive time-averaging to give you hope that if you wait around for 1,163 hours, it will finally finish. |
[edit] Explanation
When moving or copying files using the Windows Explorer, a dialog box opens to inform the user of how many of the files being moved have been moved with an estimate of how long the rest of the files should take. However, this estimate is often subject to seemingly random and extreme changes from a time measured in seconds or minutes to one measured in hours or days. This is caused by variations in file transfer speed (for instance, transfers of many small files are generally slower than transfers of a few large files, because of per-file overhead). A brief slowdown may cause the system to display that the transfer will take a long time (based on the total amount of data yet be transferred and the current low speed), and then revert to a more accurate estimate when the bottleneck is cleared.
The joke in the comic is the idea that this feature was actually purposefully implemented and that the person who did so actually talks like that. He tells some friends on the phone how long it will take for him to arrive at their meeting point. However, like with Windows's estimation feature, he quickly changes his estimate multiple times from the extremes of days to seconds.
The title text refers to the fact that if the connection is lost, and data can no longer be transmitted, the estimation just gets larger and larger as time goes on rather than realizing that no data being sent means there is no connection. A behavior that occurs on Microsoft network connections even when the connection is not lost.
[edit] Transcript
- Cueball: I'm just outside town, so I should be there in fifteen minutes.
- Cueball: Actually, it's looking more like six days.
- Cueball: No, wait, thirty seconds.
- The author of the Windows file copy dialog visits some friends.

Blackbox M10-RB
An impressive pair of headphones with capable noise-cancelling tech and an enjoyably clear sound – but that bass needs tempering
Write your own reviewFor
- Effective noise-cancelling
- punchy and detailed sound quality
- No in line controls
- slight emphasis on bass.
The Blackbox M10-RB headphones' noise-cancelling is very effective, doing a good job of reducing background hubbub.
They're good musically, too, with clear vocals, natural highs and punchy bass all conveyed in a wide stereo image.
We recommend keeping the noise-cancelling tech turned on, as the sound is a bit muffled when listening otherwise.
On the minus side, the M10s' bass is a touch heavy, and we reckon they'd benefit from a greater dose of transparency.
They're sturdy on the head, though, and their circumaural design is reminiscent of the Bose QuietComfort 15.
The M10s aren't as flexible, but are comfy to wear for long periods and, as a bonus, double as a great pair of earmuffs in the cold. Well worthy of an audition, then.

Story sketch thumbs for The Road
I read an amazing book recently, Cormac McCarthy's "The Road". I have never been so into a book before....inspired me so much that I started thumbnailing some story moments from the book.....it would make a great graphic novel..as it is already going to be a movie starring Viggo Mortensen . I wanted to get my ideas down first before I am influenced by the flick.... Enjoy.....

Among the many things Fox News has to answer for is the proof it has provided that news relentlessly slanted to match an agenda works: It can bring audience, financial success and influence, the three things any media owner craves.
This is called propaganda when used by state-run organizations, and for a long time it fell out of fashion. Most serious news media, state-owned or private, figured that the attempt at objectivity and independence would more reliably create those rewards. (Before anyone snorts, yes, editorial objectivity is unattainable, but the effort to achieve it makes a big difference.)
This was the policy Svetlana Mironyuk followed when she was appointed to take over and modernize Russia's lesser-known state news agency, RIA Novosti, in 2003. For someone who in essence was an employee of the Russian state, she was remarkably thoughtful, professional and independent. In 2011, for example, RIA Novosti reported on anti-government protests in Moscow and gave crowd numbers. RIA's website purveys news. Mironyuk turned a Soviet propaganda tool into what was widely regarded as the most professional news agency in Russia.
Now it seems President Vladimir Putin has caught the Fox bug and is shutting RIA Novosti down. He's no longer interested in providing a strong, independent news agency on which Russians and foreigners working in Russia can rely for information.
RIA Novosti costs about $89 million a year in state subsidies to run, according to the Wall Street Journal. That's chump change to a government willing to spend $50 billion on the three-week Winter Olympics. But RIA's closure isn't about money. Mironyuk has been fired, to be replaced by Dmitry Kiselyov, a sensationalist propagandist from the state TV station Rossiya-1 who would fit in nicely at Fox. RIA will be changed into a new entity called RT, after the English-language propaganda channel Russia Today, and will, according to Kiselyov, aim at "restoring a fair attitude toward Russia as an important country in the world with good intentions."
Kiselyov apparently also once believed that journalists should try to show the world as it is. Recently, though, he said he has changed his mind: "Aloof, distilled journalism absolutely isn't in demand," he said, according to the Journal. "There's a place for agitation."
RT will be slimmer and employ fewer people than RIA Novosti, which makes sense: Gathering news is labor-intensive; creating propaganda isn't. Kiselyov will be able to dig into a deep tradition of "agitation" - what in the former Soviet Union was called agitprop - returning the agency to its roots.
Here's a quick taste of how he might go about his job. When protests recently broke out in Ukraine, Putin called them "pogroms." Kiselyov, on his TV show, called the protests a plot by Sweden, Lithuania and Poland to avenge their 1709 defeat by Russian forces at the battle of Poltava. No evidence for this interesting conspiracy was offered. Contrast that with the thoughtful and data-supported, if Russia-centric, column in which RIA Novosti explored why Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych decided to snub the European Union. Similarly, when the Kremlin issued a law banning the promotion of homosexuality, Kiselyov proposed collecting the dead hearts of gays and burning them.
So soon RIA Novosti will be providing a view of Russia the way the Kremlin would like the world to see it. This explicit shaping of a world view works for Fox, but Rupert Murdoch's runaway success operates in an environment that still has plenty of media choice. In Russia, the closure of RIA Novosti is just one of the last pieces to fall in place during Putin's campaign to secure editorial control over the country's mass media.
All I can say is, thank God that almost two-thirds of Russians are now Internet users. The sooner the remaining third are reading their news online, the better.

[JURIST] Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley [official profile] filed suit [complaint, PDF] Wednesday against the US government, challenging a provision of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) [text] that allegedly interferes with the state's same-sex marriage law [JURIST report]. Coakley argues that the federal law, which denies federal recognition for same-sex marriages, interferes with the state's right to define and regulate marriage. The complaint, filed in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts [official website], alleges that the DOMA excludes more than 16,000 married same-sex couples and their families in Massachusetts from rights and protections afforded to other married couples. The suit claims that the federal law violates the US Constitution [materials] by interfering with the state's sovereign authority to define and regulate marriage for its residents, exceeding Congress's legislative authority under the Spending Clause of Article I. The state alleges that § 3 of the federal law creates separate and unequal categories of married individuals, prohibiting same-sex spouses from filing joint federal tax returns, receiving Social Security survivor benefits, guaranteed leave from work for spousal illness and other rights given to married couples of the opposite sex. Coakley addressed the problems [press release] with the federal law:
It is unconstitutional for the federal government to discriminate, as it does because of DOMA's restrictive definition of marriage. It is also unconstitutional for the federal government to decide who is married and to create a system of first- and second-class marriages. The federal government cannot require states, such as Massachusetts, to further the discrimination through federal programs, either. The time has come for this injustice to end.

Spotify is now available on Sonos devices in the US. Spotify for Sonos allows you to create queues based on Spotify content and play playlists you've created on your desktop. You can thus stream ad-free tunes (at 320kbps) throughout your home.
To add the service to your Sonos devices you'll need to sign up for Spotify Premium and then follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Music Menu on your Sonos Controller.
- Click More Music.
- Select the service you wish to add.
Most services require login information in order to begin streaming. Once you add your Spotify credentials, you'll be able to start discovering more content.
After many months of rumors and speculation, Spotify officially arrived in the US earlier this week.
For $5 per month you get unlimited, on-demand access to over 15 million songs, while the $10 monthly plan adds offline storage of tracks and lets you use the Spotify client on your mobile device. You can opt out of either plan at any time. There's also a free, ad-supported option in case you want to test the waters first, and it comes with unlimited streaming as well – unlike the European offering, which was recently capped at 10 hours per month. Unfortunately, the free option is in an invite-only beta phase so you'll have to get your email in the queue and be patient.
Four months ago, Spotify passed the 1 million subscriber mark, making it the biggest paid music service in the world. A leak last week showed that the company is projecting that the service will have 50 million US users in its first year of operation.
User Comments: 2
Got something to say? Post a comment-
1 Million to 50 Million Paid Subscribers in 1 year? Somehow I think they will be lucky to get to 5 Million. I mean they are ok but I still think Rhapsody is a better paid service since you can download the music to your computer and Mp3 players. They are the only service that allows that currently that I know of. I have have 3 Sansa Fuze Mp3 players...very cheap..And I can download as much music as I want to those devices...And you can also stream to phones like all the other services...like Spotify..So I think Rhapsody has better service in the Paid area...Now if Spotify is counting their free service then they might be correct.
unrelated but i think a huge factor to them selling premium service is ipod support for offline music. afaik rhapsody doesn't offer this unless you buy the music outright.

Posted by jamie raben on Wednesday, January 4, 2012 3:19 PM ASTHi, does anyone know where I can purchase paw paw trees in southern ontario? And does anyone have experience growing and pruning them? Thanks. Jamie
re: Paw Paw fruit trees
Posted by Cliff on Sunday, February 5, 2012 2:49 PM ASTHi Jamie, In Niagara on the Lake, called Grimo's. We bought 2 a couple of years ago. I've been looking for info on growing them well too, as ours have been taking their sweet time to get to any size, although they do seem healthy enough. Cheers.

Posted by Francine on Saturday, December 8, 2012 11:01 AM ASTHello I bought two paw paw trees from Grimos about five yrs ago. One is about 3 ft tall and the other maybe 3.5 ft. They are heathy but slow growing. If you know of anything to promote their growth please let me know. Mrs Huyben

+ - The Individual Midnight Thread 40
So if we can get this thread out of the Firehose, I was thinking that, as the 10th arrives for us in our respective locations, we could leave here what may be our final farewells to Slashdot.
Until Midnight, this is our meeting place, our City Hall, our town square.
(and yes, our playground)
After that I'm not sure where we can congregate to discuss how the Slashcott's going and whether it's time to move on.
I'm going to jump the gun and lay claim to "So long and thanks for all the Karma", and perhaps someone could do a Bob Hope and re-write the lyrics to "Thanks for the Memories".
In the meantime, a bit of housekeeping.
An AC beat me to the week-long boycott idea by a couple of hours, and suggested the date range of the 10th through the 17th.
As part of a group of people familiar with the concept of beginning a count with 0 instead of 1, I really should have spotted the mistake of putting 8 days into that particular week.
So, should Slashcott Week end as the 17th begins, or do we give Dice a bonus day?"

The design is OBVIOUS.
this argument is invalidated by Samsung successfully carving niches for a 5" note, a 7" tablet, and phones with wider and taller screens than the iphone's. the iphone itself has also grown an extra row of icons in height. there are criteria regarding screen size selection that have outgrown the original 'human hand' argument.
Rounded edges. Wow. Not having rounded edges are uncomfortable in your pocket. Oblong, well oval or round phones are not comfortable in your pocket either and you'd also like something that doesn't use more space other than to house the required components, of which the size of the touch screen is probably the most important factor.
I too, have 20/20 hindsight. You also focus on the hardware design, and fail to acknowledge the blatant copying of the the IOS look and feel. it wasn't accidental, there are 132 pages which look at every aspect of the iphone with the intention to copy software features wholesale.
Most people handed the same components would come up with the same generic design.
This is precisely the argument, except the components were proprietary at the time. During the development of the phones in dispute, Samsung was responsible for mfg. parts for the iphone and ipad, including screen. of course they would have intimate access to the components ahead of the competition, which is how apple stays ahead. Samsung abused their agreements with apple, and were given an unfair competitive advantage./p

we all make mistakes. and we are all jets fans who love the draft so I dont see why it has to be a constant war for "credibility"
Brady was just really unathletic overall. He has really improved his arm strength over time, though. I'm sure Sanchez will as well.
CBNY, I'm not a scout, but I don't understand how people can't determine arm strength just from watching a game on TV. I've read comments on here along the lines of "Peyton Manning has a rocket arm." Guys like Sanchez, Ryan and Rivers have so-so arms, which you can clearly see from watching the games.

I've seen Elway underthrow passes too, what's your point? Sanchez underthrew that to give Braylon a chance at a jumpball, that was evident to me, in that situation the worst possible thing he could've done was overthrow the pass. He lobbed it and put some air under it on purpose.
The point is that he doesn't have the strongest arm and underthrows a lot of long balls because of that.
So, even though Sanchez saw Edwards behind the defense, he purposely underthrew the ball, even though he could have thrown a TD if he had just put the ball in front of Edwards? Makes sense.
There was nowhere Sanchez could have put the ball where Haden wouldn't have had a chance to make a play on the ball. There wasn't much field left, if he led Braylon to a spot where Edwards wouldn't have to break stride, he'd have thrown the ball out of the endzone.
I think Sanchez has an above average arm, but the distance he gets on his throws has more to do with the spiral than his arm.
Peyton Manning doesn't have a cannon arm, it's part of the reason why he struggles in the elements. If the Colts don't have homefield advantage, they're not going anywhere in the playoffs.
Guy you have obviously know understanding of what's going on. Mark Pennington - I mean Mark Sanchez has a weak arm and it's only in spite of him that we almost got to the Super Bowl last year and this year are arguably the best team in football.
Mark "Pennington" Sanchez sucks. So does Taylor Mays. So does Terrence Cody:
November 14, 2010
Cody helps boost run defense
Terrence Cody's best game of the season helped the Ravens shut down Falcons running back Michael Turner on Thursday night.
Cody, a rookie nose tackle, recorded a season-high five tackles, which nearly doubled his entire total (three) in five games this season. It was also the same amount of tackles as middle linebacker Ray Lewis.
"It looked like Terrence played pretty well," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "I'd have to see the tape. But I thought we did a pretty good job of handling the run."
Turner was limited to 39 yards on 17 carries (a 2.3-yard average) after gaining 100 yards in his previous two games.
You gotta admit...A man his size with his athleticism and abilities will last a long time in this league...if Pouha got a billion chances to stay healthy with his one team then someone with Cody's upside will float around forever if he doesn't make it with the Ravens...and it looks like he's doing fine.
lasting a long time in the league and playing to one's abilities are night and day....
Cody's gone form a potential top 12 pick to having certain disciples jump for joy because he finally surfaced the first week of November....not heading in the right direction i'd say...
yes...its too bad the jets didn't draft him....a straight line, run defending safety who can't cover or play centerfield is really the missing piece to the defensive puzzle...
but hey; what do i know- abillifyboy, er vincenzotesteverde, er jetsknicksyanks, er jets terminator knows football talent...
btw- mays lost his starting job this week...lol
Mays, a second-round draft pick in April, has started the past six games, including Sunday against the Rams. However, Mays played only a handful of snaps after the opening series, with Smith getting the most playing time of his career.
Smith knew he would play some, but not that much.
The unspoken reason is Mays has struggled in pass coverage, and the 49ers needed to make a change. Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman said he sees the difference between the two when watching video.
"For sure, I feel like Smith moves a little better laterally and he covers a little more ground," said Freeman, who added Mays is "talented as well."

It's funny how people assume that just because Mays started for a couple of weeks that he also has to be good. He played horrible in centerfield, just horrible...
Easy there cowboy, there was nothing combatitive about my remark. I knew you weren't a fan, but i didn't think you campaigned against him.
I still stand by my assertion that in OUR system, he'd have a headhunter role, and he'd be good at it. SF doesn't have Revises and Cromarties covering WRs.
the Jets have plenty of headhunters at safety- in fact they've been penalized for their head hunting ways at times this season...they need a safety with consistent ball skills in the secondary....Poole was a good FA signing but he's yet to show consistency and has not shown durability in his career...
I stand by what I said pre-draft, I don't think Sanchez has great arm strength... there I said it.
He's got a decent NFL arm... he might not even have an average arm in today's NFL as there's at least 15-20 starting QB's with stronger arms...
There about 10-12 who are in a different league too when it comes to arm strength...
and for the record - I do like Sanchez and am not concerned with arm strength...
I'm more concerned with his accuracy... :-)

Social Networking for Fashion Doll Lovers
Items needed:
I found that the push pop ice cream treats make perfect lamps. Once your done eating the treat. I rinse the plastic push pop. I also rinse the cardboard cylander. Allow them to fully dry before you build your lamp.
You will also need
scrapbook paper or cardstock
wooden beads that will fit on the small plastic stick
glue stick
plastic bottle caps
and a hot glue gun
While the hot glue gun is heating up. This is a good time to choose your beads and how you want it. This is a how the base will look once I glue it all together.
First of choose your base(plastic bottle cap off of a powerade drink)
Then glue one bead down and center it.
Next drop some more hot glue down inside the bead and them place the plastic stick and hold straight till glue sets.
Now you just need to stack your beads one and a time till you finish your desired look.
I carefully run a line of glue on the previously laid bead then slide a new bead down and press and turn until the beads are glued to each other.
Now you can set aside the base and allow the glue to completely cool. Don't forget to turn off your glue gun. You will not be needing it anymore.
Now it is time to make the shade for your lamp. The tube as it sits right now is too long cutting it in half will give you 2 shades. You can easily swap these so you have to differnt shades for your lamp.
You can either cut with a scissor which may not give you a perfect edge or use a blade(if you are a minor ask an adult to do it for you).
Now slide the push pop peice back ito the tube that is now cut in half. I placed mine in the middle.
Measure your tube and mark on the paper you have chosen to cover the lamp shade with. I have a scrapbook paper trimmer which comes in really handy for cutting long strips of paper. Or you can carefully cut by hand on the line you have marked.
Now with the trip of paper and a glue stick your ready to cover the tube.
Apply a very generous amount of glue and work fast because the glue with dry quickly. Then begin to wrap the paper around the tube. You will have excess paper once you gone around the tube don't cut it continue to wrap it around.
Don't cut the excess continue to wrap around apply more glue to the paper and press. Once the paper is completely glued down you are ready to add the shade to your base!
Your lamp should look something like this once you are done :)
My kids followed along with me and each made their own lamp too....

Morningside College launches the 2010 season of its summer fine arts series
Morningside College launches the 2010 season of its Betty Ling Tsang Summer Fine Arts Series with the Tony Award-winning musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" at 7 p.m. on June 4 and 5 in the Buhler Outdoor Performance Center, 3625 Garretson Avenue, on the college's campus.
The free performances – the first of five productions scheduled this summer for Morningside's amphitheater-style performance center – tell the stories of six quirky, but charming, adolescent spelling bee contestants. When "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" opened on Broadway in 2005, it received six Tony Award nominations and won for best book of a musical and best featured actor. At one point during the one-act musical, audience members are invited on stage to participate in the spelling bee with the six characters.
In the event of rain, performances will move to Klinger-Neal Theatre, 3700 Peters Avenue, on the Morningside campus.
Randy Peters, artistic director for the Betty Ling Tsang Summer Fine Arts Series, said the series is named for the late Betty Ling Tsang, a 1940 Morningside College music graduate, and is designed to bring free, quality music and theatre performances to residents of the Sioux City area.
"Since the start of the summer performance series in 2008, it's been very gratifying to have hundreds of people attend each of our productions every season," Peters said. "This summer's season offers a variety of productions that will appeal to fans of musical theater, storytelling and big band jazz. Then there is the added bonus of enjoying these performances at Morningside's beautiful Buhler Outdoor Performance Center and being surrounded by the outstanding landscaping that is part of the college's Hilker Campus Mall."
Other performances scheduled for the 2010 Betty Ling Tsang Summer Fine Arts Series include the musical comedy "Nunsense" on June 25 and 26; Tahira, an African-American storyteller, on July 9 and 10; the children's musical "The Elves & the Shoemaker" on July 30 and 31; and The Noteables, the U.S. Air Force Heartland of America Band's jazz ensemble, on August 13. All performances are free and open to the public.

CNET Editors' Take
June 1, 2008 10:31 PM PDT
CNET did not review the LG 26LG30, but we did review a larger model in the series.
Although CNET did not review the 26-inch LG 26LG30, we did review the 32-inch LG 32LG30. Judging from their spec sheets, the two LG LCD HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the review of the 32-incher to give a good indication of how the 26-inch model will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the LG 32LG30.

'American Idol': Kayden Stephenson uses Cystic Fibrosis to live life to the fullest
Kayden Stephenson - Oklahoma City Audition... by IdolxMuzic
Sixteen-year-old Kayden Stephenson auditioned for "American Idol," looking like he's not old enough to be there. But that's because he has Cystic Fibrosis, which means he probably won't live past the age of 35.
Kayden says, "It's definitely scary, but also it gives me an opportunity to do everything now while I'm young. I'm doing 'American Idol' because this is my dream. I've always wanted to be on the show, that's why I came here as soon as I got of age."
He sings "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder and it's just OK, but the judges just love him and send him through to Hollywood. Honestly, how could you not? What a sweet kid.

Born on June 2, 1980, in Rochester, New York, Abby Wambach became the all-time leading scorer at the University of Florida. She played for the Washington, Florida and Western New York clubs in U.S. women's pro soccer leagues, and twice led the national team to Olympic gold medals. After earning 2012 FIFA Player of the Year honors, Wambach scored a record 159th career international goal in 2013.
"I've always been motivated more by negative comments than by positive ones. I know what I do well. Tell me what I don't do well."
Early Years and College
Mary Abigail "Abby" Wambach was born on June 2, 1980, in Rochester, New York. The youngest of seven children, she roughhoused with her older brothers, developing a competitive mind-set that served her well in various sports.
Wambach starred in basketball and soccer at Our Lady of Mercy High School, but channeled her athletic energy into soccer at the University of Florida. After helping the Gators win the national championship as a freshman in 1998, she was twice named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year and earned three All-America selections en route to recording a school-record 96 goals.
Club Career
Drafted second overall by the Washington Freedom of the Women's United Soccer Association in 2002, Wambach paired with U.S. soccer great Mia Hamm to give the club a dynamic 1-2 scoring punch. The 5'11" forward was particularly dangerous on corner kicks, using her size to establish position and rise above the pack to blast a header at the goal. She was named Rookie of the Year in 2002 and MVP of the championship game in '03, but was left without a club when the WUSA folded after the season.
Wambach joined the updated version of the Washington Freedom following the formation of Women's Professional Soccer, and led the league in scoring in its inaugural 2009 season. She was named player-coach in 2011 after the club moved to Florida and was rebranded the MagicJack, but was again left to ponder her options when the league suspended operations in early 2012.
Women's soccer returned to the U.S. in 2013 with the National Women's Soccer League, and the five-time U.S. Player of the Year lived up to her billing as a premier draw by leading the Western New York Flash to the championship game.
International Acclaim
Named to the U.S. national women's team in 2001, Wambach helped take the Stars and Stripes to a third-place finish at the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup, and knocked home one of her patented headers in extra time to give the United States a thrilling win over Brazil for the gold medal at the 2004 Olympics.
The team again finished third at the 2007 World Cup, with Wambach claiming the Silver Shoe as the tournament's second-leading scorer. She missed the 2008 Olympics due to a broken leg, and then suffered a gruesome head injury in a collision during World Cup qualifying play, famously having her head stapled to remain in the game. She went on to deliver one of the 2011 World Cup's most thrilling moments with an extra-time header to help beat Brazil in the quarterfinals, though the U.S. team lost to Japan in the finals.
Wambach was sucker-punched by Colombia's Lady Andrade early in the 2012 Olympics, but took the rough treatment in stride by tweeting a photo of her black eye afterward.

► The structure of a CARD of human RIG-I ► The mechanism and structural role of phosphorylation are revealed ► In trans interaction with the Helicase and regulatory domains is shown ► Lys172 lies in proximity to the CARD2:helicase-CTD interface
RIG-I is a cytosolic sensor of viral RNA, comprised of two N-terminal CARDs followed by helicase and C-terminal regulatory domains (helicase-CTD). Viral RNA binds to the helicase-CTD and "exposes" the CARDs for downstream signaling. The role of the second CARD (CARD2) is essential as RIG-I activation requires dephosphorylation of Thr170 followed by ubiquitination at Lys172. Here, we present the solution structure and dynamics of human RIG-I CARD2. Surprisingly, we find that Thr170 is mostly buried. Parallel studies on the phosphomimetic T170E mutant suggest that the loss of function upon Thr170 phosphorylation is likely associated with changes in the CARD1-CARD2 interface that may prevent Lys172 ubiquitination and/or binding to free K63-linked polyubiquitin. We also demonstrate a strong interaction between CARD2 and the helicase-CTD, and show that mutations at the interface result in constitutive activation of RIG-I. Collectively, our data suggests a close interplay between phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and activation of human RIG-I, all mediated by CARD2.

By Not-a-paid-spokesperson (Havre, Montana) on Jun 5, 2013
Comments: I've had my Nordic Track Pro for over 25 years and it has undoubtedly been the best exercise equipment investment I have ever made. Although there have been some occasional dormant periods, I still use it fairly regularly (3 to 5 days per week)and the durability of the equipment has been outstanding. I have used it for general fitness, conditioning for nordic skiing, alpine skiing, ice hockey, hiking, and most any activity that can be enhanced by developed physical endurance. The only parts I have ever had to replace are the friction pads on the arm exercise fly wheel. The service rep told me to occasionally oil the new ones them with 3-in-1 oil and they will be fine; and they have been. The waist cushion may need some attention in that it has a couple of seam tears, but hey, it's over 25 years old! Regular maintenance with cleaning the skiing track flywheel, wiping off perspiration (because you will sweat), and using the equipment properly have been keys to my NordicTrack still going strong. If you buy it, use it. If you use it, I think you'll be pleased with how you feel.
A classic in the home fitness world, the Classic Pro Skier is still a fan favorite for its effectiveness. Smooth, natural motion of Nordic skiing offers exercise without injury or discomfort, while adjustable resistance and elevation let you easily adjust the intensity of your workout. Independent resistance controls for the arms and legs give you training variety. The LED feedback window tracks time, distance calories burned and pulse.

Community-Wide Effort May Help Tame Troubled Teens
Towns using 'Communities That Care' system saw decrease in vandalism, theft, study finds
FRIDAY, Oct. 7 (HealthDay News) -- A community-based prevention system may lead to lasting reductions in teen smoking, drinking, violence and other bad behavior, according to a new study.
The Communities That Care system helps communities choose programs that have been shown to be effective in preventing teen problems.
The system was developed by University of Washington researchers, who conducted the study that looked at the behaviors of more than 4,400 youngsters in 24 small- to moderate-sized towns in Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Oregon, Utah and Washington.
Half the towns received training in the Communities That Care system. In those towns, students in grades 5 to 9 participated in programs designed to reduce risk factors such as family conflict and school difficulties. The behavior of all the students in the study was assessed when they were in grade 10.
Those in towns using the Communities That Care system were less likely to have tried smoking or drinking than those in towns that did not use the system. Delinquent behaviors, such as vandalism, theft and fighting, also decreased among teens in towns that used the system.
The study was published online Oct. 3 in the journal Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
"What's exciting about this paper is that these decreases in alcohol use, smoking and violence were apparent even after outside support for the Communities That Care system ended. It shows that community coalitions can make a sustained difference in their youngsters' health community-wide," lead author J. David Hawkins, founding director of UW's Social Development Research Group, said in a university news release.
