"Black/Yellow" Nike Zoom Kobe VIII
November 9th, 2012 by John Kim | 19 comments
Yesterday's update of the Kobe VIII in the Black/Yellow colorway provided a clear view of the outer shell of the Kobe VIII, but what Eric Avar has focused on is the inner workings of the shoe that has made it one of the most popular and oft-used basketball sneakers in history. We'll start with the tongue, which showcases the mamba snake encapsulating the Shozoku logo above calculated perforations to make the shoe as light as possible. The insole is what reveals the most; it's built with LunarLon, giving the Kobe VIII an unprecedented bouncy cushion that Lunar has never failed to produce, and the indented markings like the System logo on the bottom may point to a return of the interchangeable 'Fast' and 'Strong' arrangement. There's plenty more to see so enjoy this detailed gallery of the Kobe VIII below and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for all updates regarding the upcoming launch of the Kobe VIII.

I mess wit em but hooping wise the whole tongue thing i ain't dealing with very upset..
the people who saying that these grown on em were the same people who violently reacted and said they were never gonna get these when these first came out. excuses. smh
they have grown on me i want to see them in person tho or the final official product. and i thought the 8's had a system too.. wonder if they scrapped it.
damn funny if Nike is just messing with all of us and these are next years dodgy China only kicks and the real super innovative Kobe 8's are still under wraps.... we can only hope
They lack any innovation imo. I feel the VI has been his best. I'm sure the Chistmas c/w will be a hit. After that idk. I think Nike is giving the KB line the '' twilight'' treatment due to his age. I see money going into the KD line in the future. I will pretty much pass on the VIII except for Christmas.
like the potential with EM..great on lunarglide..just not sure it will be good for hoops. the home version is going to bet pretty dirty fast..wanna see xmas cw...is this lifestyle or the on court..i hope the former!
i like em, will cop for basketball. im still using the 5 which i think is the best basketball shoes ever!, these look like they can be great to, although doesnt look like they will last as long but i still like there minimalistic look.
these are hideous! Kobe is my fav player but I don't know what he was thinking when he approved these. Nike better not put a $140 price tag on this garbage.
NO FLYWIRE?! NO ZOOM AIR?! HARD TO CALL THIS A KOBE SHOE! It better be the most comfortable shoe to play in EVER!
I hope they play just like the V's because those were nice, BUT... need more colorways to make finally judgement
@truthBtold__ The cushion set up uses inserts im sure there will be multiple ie the Jordan 2012 so im sure we will see a zoom option as well

Add a CommentThis book contains the most beautifully written poetic prose I've ever read. Not surprising: I discovered that the author was a poet and the first poet laureate of the US. You will reread sentences and paragraphs to marvel at their beauty and sensuality. The author has both an ability to capture a sense of place and a sense of character; you know these people. There are twists and turns in the plot that are not predictable. The book is considered one of the finest fictional accounts of politics ever written. Not surprising that it won a Pulitzer. The original movie based on it in the 1940's won best picture. I am now seeking out other books by this author.

Full description for The Death of Bees
Today is Christmas Eve. Today is my birthday. Today I am fifteen. Today I buried my parents in the backyard. Neither of them were beloved. Marnie and her little sister, Nelly, are on their own now. Only they know what happened to their parents, Izzy and Gene, and they aren't telling. While life in Glasgow's Maryhill housing estate isn't grand, the girls do have each other. Besides, it's only a year until Marnie will be considered an adult and can legally take care of them both. As the New Year comes and goes, Lennie, the old man next door, realizes that his young neighbors are alone and need his help. Or does he need theirs? Lennie takes them in--feeds them, clothes them, protects them--and something like a family forms. But soon enough, the sisters' friends, their teachers, and the authorities start asking tougher questions. As one lie leads to another, dark secrets about the girls' family surface, creating complications that threaten to tear them apart. Written with fierce sympathy and beautiful precision, told in alternating voices, The Death of Bees is an enchanting, grimly comic tale of three lost souls who, unable to answer for themselves, can answer only for one another.

According to Wikipedia, "The visual arts are art forms that create works that are primarily visual in nature, such as ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design, crafts, photography, video, filmmaking and architecture. These definitions should not be taken too strictly as many artistic disciplines (performing arts, conceptual art, textile arts) involve aspects of the visual arts as well as arts of other types. Also included within the visual arts are the applied arts such as industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design and decorative art."
At OSU visual art opportunities include drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and photography.

Looking Toward the FutureA lot has been happening behind the scenes with Game Slayer, and we feel it's time to let everyone know what we're up to. We are on the verge of seriously getting Game Slayer into gear. Brian has been working on a new site core which will provide a stable platform for Game Slayer to run on for years to come. When that's finished, we will be taking action to earn startup money for the official formation of Game Slayer as a legal entity, trademarking our logo, and promoting the site. The definition of Game Slayer has been cloudy and ever-changing over the years. We have gone from a Game Review site to an Online Community to a Gaming System Manufacturer; but only now are we setting in stone Game Slayer's niche. Paraphrased from our official Business Plan, the Direction and Goals of Game Slayer are outlined below, in order of importance:

The North Meets South Food & Drink Jubilee brings together local and national wineries, breweries, distilleries, and restaurants for a weekend of delicious activities in an elegant atmosphere. Pepper your palate with complimentary samples of delicious edibles and intoxicating imbibements from national and international vendors— including Southern Oregon Brewing, Willamette Valley Vineyards, Enchanted Cupcakes, and Whole Foods Market—as well as talented regional chefs.
Safari Sam's virtual jungle of kid-friendly entertainment is densely packed, thoughtfully designed, and well maintained. The enormous jungle gym is built big and strong so parents can play along with their kids. The Black Diamond Challenge Course challenges older kids with more physically demanding obstacles. The indoor miniature golf course is well designed, with glow-in-the-dark paint on jungle-like details on the kid-friendly obstacles, including palm trees and Aztec-like temples. Gonzo's game room is an old-fashioned redemption arcade with more than 75 games in which kids can win prizes, from key chains and stuffed animals to glow-in-the-dark senses of superiority.
Willamette Sailing Club's docks stretch out into the Willamette River, where novice nautical voyagers gain their sea legs on a fleet of small sailboats. Classes of up to 30 spend two hours on the banks with a U.S. Sailing–certified coach as students learn how sails work, the necessary knots, and important terminology, such as "port," "starboard," and "boat." The coach will also cover how to rig and de-rig a boat, as delicate a procedure as rigging a casino game or school-board election. The club curates a fleet of Laser, Opti, and 420 sailboats for the use of its sailing classes.
On the screen before the trainee, an officer is down in the doorway, while down the hall within the scenario, an assailant shields himself behind a hostage. This is just one of the 160 high-definition real-world tactical scenarios—in addition to 180 virtual-range options—that play on the single-screen Threat Alley and 300-degree Threat Arena platforms, immersing marksmen in the kind of training used by law enforcement, the military, and special operatives. Using modified firearms that eschew ammo for an infrared laser and a CO2 system to produce recoil, each computerized simulator calibrates shooters' virtual shots, producing a recap for up to five shooters per round. The tactical scenarios also supply guests with return-fire belts, which deliver a small shock when either "hit" by virtual enemy fire or when one falls for, "Hey, what's that over there?"
Beyond overseeing their simulated tactical training and virtual ranges, Threat Dynamics' instructors—possessing a mix of military, law-enforcement, and NRA-certification backgrounds—lead classes in both armed and unarmed self-defense.
Monty Hawkins has been a coach for over two decades, extending a career on the pitch that began when he was just a kid. From starring as a teenaged phenom at Gladstone High School, captaining Oregon State's first Division I soccer squad, and earning his professional stripes as a member of Germany's TSG Tübingen, , Monty ascended through the athletic ranks faster than a rock climber riding a mountain goat. Today, he passes on his expertise to the next generation as co-owner of Tualatin Indoor Soccer. At the arena, stadium lights cast a blinding radiance across the freshly re-turfed, 186'x86' field surrounded by 10-foot walls and glass, while up to 80 fans track the action in year-round adult and youth leagues. Monty also helps youngsters gear up for the spotlight at kids' classes that promote not only athleticism, but also fun and friendship.
David Scott couldn't stop falling in the water. It didn't make sense. He'd been an avid snowboarder for 20 years—nearly the entire time that winter had existed—so wakeboarding should've come naturally. David turned to his friend Adam Faren, an expert wakeboarder in his own right, who suggested that David try wake surfing instead. (The boats travel at lower speeds, and you don't need to lock in your feet.) It worked. David finally conquered the water, and the two friends partnered up to help others surf, board, and ski the waters through their joint venture, Wake Charter. During outings, Adam and David welcome guests onto their 23-foot speedboat, introducing them to the thrills of everything from wakeboarding to tubing and snapping high-quality photos to commemorate every narrow escape from the Loch Ness Monster.
A comprehensive guide to attractions and things to do.

As Wikipedia gets ready to mark its 10th anniversary as the Web's, and perhaps the world's, most-used encyclopedia, a new study says that 53 percent of American adult Internet users turned to the collaborative source of information as of May 2010, up from 36 percent in February 2007.
And, 62 percent of those ages 18 to 29 regularly use the site, says Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, which released the report Thursday. (Bear in mind, Pew's study focused on American adults, not those under 18, where the percentage of users would probably be much, much higher among the grade school to high school set.)
In the "scope of general online activities, using Wikipedia is more popular than sending instant messages (done by 47 percent of Internet users) or rating a product, service, or person (32 percent), but is less popular than using social network sites (61 percent) or watching videos on sites like YouTube (66 percent)."
Pew's findings are based on phone interviews done by Princeton Survey Research Associates International between April 29 and May 30, 2010 of 2,252 adults ages.
The anyone-can-add-their-2-cents-to-the-site encyclopedia has had many controversies and inaccuracies — as recently as last weekend when it initially said, based on unverified reports, that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords had been killed.
But it's working hard to improve such mishaps by giving "special editing privileges to trusted editors while preventing newer contributors from spreading misinformation," according to the Associated Press.

High-Speed Trading Networks Getting Even Faster
July 23rd, 2012 By: Rich Miller
The fiber networks driving high-speed trading for major stock exchanges are about to get even faster. Sidera Networks says it will conduct a major upgrade of its low-latency fiber routes connecting major financial data centers in New York and New Jersey, accelerating one of the networks that ties together key trading hubs for the NYSE, NASDAQ and dozens of global exchanges and trading firms.The move underscores the competition among infrastructure providers serving the high-speed trading community, in which a fraction of a second can affect the profitability of a trade. That's driving a push for lower latency in trade execution, which includes faster routers that claim the ability to execute trades in nanoseconds.
For fiber providers, that means finding the shortest routes between key data centers, and putting powerful equipment on each end of those cables. Sidera's network optimization includes "pulling slack that was originally built into the routes," according to Joe Cumello, the company's VP Marketing. Sidera is also upgrading equipment and laying new fiber. The net result, the company says, is a distant advantage in which its routes are 1 kilometer to 10 kilometers shorter than competitors, depending upon the route.
"We have committed to customers that we will maintain our low latency edge so that they can meet their application requirements, including electronic trading," said Clint Heiden, President of Sidera Networks. "When completed, this upgrade will deliver on that commitment. Additionally, low latency connectivity to NYSE's Mahwah, NJ data center is critical to our customers. We will provide a unique, low latency connection to that facility."
Sidera's Xtreme Ultra-Low Latency Network is among the networks connecting financial data centers and exchanges in the New York area, including the NYSE facility in Mahwah, the NASDAQ trading venue in Carteret, NJ, 300 Boulevard East in Weehawken (home to a Savvis trading hub), an Equinix colocation center in Secaucus, 165 Halsey Street in Newark and the Google building (111 8th Avenue) in Manhattan.
"Network connectivity is key to any company's ability to transact and access information," comments Larry Tabb, Founder & CEO of the Tabb Group. "The New York/New Jersey market is an important region for the financial services market. There are exchanges; market data hubs and other key data housed in these data centers throughout the region. Network redundancy, reliability and accessibility to these information hubs are key concerns for companies as they architect their networks for more efficient communications."
Fazal Majid
Posted August 7th, 2012Some providers are considering switching from fiber to microwave because of the 30% lower latency compared to fiber.
Alexandre Verri
Posted August 7th, 2012@Fazal Majid: it's an interesting information. Microwave has 30% lower latency compared to fiber.

Industries & Professions / / Foreign Trade
Trade has always been a major force behind the relations among nations. International trade allows countries access to goods and services that they cannot produce or that can be produced more cheaply offshore. For example, tea can be grown with some difficulty in a northern climate, but most tea for the world market is still supplied by India. India has a climate and soil well suited to the production of tea, and everything is in place to grow enough tea leaves to meet the demands of the world market.
With the establishment of standard trade routes and fairly stable governments in the Western countries, international trade became regulated and controlled by the 1700s. Taxes were levied against some import items to allow local producers to compete economically against foreign producers. (Import taxes are called tariffs.) Trade limits were set on other items to keep the local market from being flooded with foreign goods.
Europe traded with the United States from the time of the first settlements in the 1600s. As the American economy and industry expanded with the industrial revolution in the early 1800s, the variety of items the United States was able to trade with other countries increased greatly.
The dominant foreign trade policy of the United States following the Civil War was protectionism, meaning that the government enforced high tariffs and rigorous import restrictions to protect home market producers from overseas competition. When the Democrats took power in the second decade of the 20th century, tariffs were lowered briefly, but protectionism returned with President Harding and reached a new peak with the Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1930. This tariff, a response to the crash of 1929, resulted in retaliatory tariffs by other nations and worsened an already depressed economy. Exports fell from $5.2 billion in 1929 to $1.7 billion in 1933. The New Deal managed to roll back much of the tariff. Together with the new Import-Export Bank, which offered foreign traders an alternative to getting loans from private bankers, these measures helped increase exports between 1934 and 1938 by more than half a billion dollars.
After the Second World War, American international business quickly expanded its manufacturing and distribution facilities overseas. In some instances, these companies were established under licensing arrangements or as joint ventures with a foreign company.
In the 1960s, the United States experienced an erosion of its dominant position in world trade, and in most of the years since 1970, it has reported a negative trade balance (more imports than exports). In 1999, the U.S. trade deficit reached an all-time high of $263 billion as economic crises in other countries caused our exports of everything from soybeans to automobiles to fall. Since that time, the U.S. trade deficit continued to rise significantly, reaching $752 billion in 2006. However, the deficit dropped in 2007 to $699 billion, a trend economists blamed on the recession causing a drop in consumers' buying power and declining demand for imported goods. As the recession continued, the trade deficit remained low compared to previous years. In 2009 the deficit bottomed out at $384 billion. As the economy improved and recession ended, the trade deficit increased to $499 billion for 2010 and $557 billion for 2011. The year 2012, however, showed the first signs of what may be a new trend. The balance for that year came to $535 billion, and by late summer 2013 it had reached its lowest level since early 2010. Policymakers in the United States are keenly interested in continuing this trend toward an improved trade balance.
Among economic policymakers today, the most popular solution to the trade deficit is expansion of free trade, which means open markets and economic interdependence. In a move toward more free trade, President Clinton signed two agreements that took effect in 1994. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a pact among the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Its provisions included the elimination of all tariffs over the next 15 years on goods produced and sold in North America, the barring of governments from imposing special requirements on foreign investors, and the lifting of certain restrictions on services, such as banking, telecommunications, and transportation. The second pact, which consisted of amendments to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), was approved by the U.S. Congress and the governments of 116 other nations. It reduces international trade barriers, including tariffs, import quotas, and export subsidies. Opponents of agreements of this sort argue that they put American jobs at risk and increase the U.S. trade deficit.

I took this dish to the last church meal we had, and it was a hit! Several of the ladies requested the recipe. I have to admit it is so easy to make—just put the ingredients in the slow cooker, and dinner's ready before you know it. The tomatoes with green chilies really add some zip.
6-8 Servings
Prep: 15 min. Cook: 6 hours
3 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large onion, chopped
2 cans (10 ounces
) diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
1 can (16 ounces) Ranch Style beans (pinto beans in seasoned tomato sauce)
1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
Place the beef in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Combine the brown sugar,
mustard, salt, paprika, chili powder and pepper; sprinkle over beef
and toss to coat. Top with onion, tomatoes, beans and corn.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until meat is tender. Yield:
6-8 servings.

NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS IN CONCERT:Fans of the dark and experimental side of rock have gravitated towards Nick Cave since his late-'70s days as frontman of cult legends The Birthday Party. A showman of the highest caliber, Cave is equal parts priest and shaman, leading audiences through the full gamut of emotions at his ritualistic live shows with The Bad Seeds. 2013's lushly gothic Push the Sky Away, Cave's 15th studio album, is perfectly suited for the intensity of live performance — a treatment it will receive on his highly anticipated 2014 tour dates.BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:Nick Cave & The Bad seeds took shape in Australia in the early '80s, following the dissolution of Cave-fronted post-punk band The Birthday Party. Making their album debut with 1984's cleverly titled From Her to Eternity, the band enjoyed chart success in the UK before moving to Germany the following year to capitalize on Cave's growing European fanbase. A string of well-received albums in the late '80s cemented their status as cult heroes, setting the stage for even more success in the '90s. A tireless touring act beloved by fans for their intense live performances, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have embarked on numerous tours in support of their 15 studio albums. With the release of Push the Sky Away in 2013, the band topped the charts in four countries, marking their first international No. 1 album. FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:"Cave is one of the greatest live performers of all time, on a par with Iggy or Bowie — his energy level is simply mind-boggling and he takes incredible care with his songs.""This was an inspired performance. He held nothing back. He mesmerized the audience. He was a shaman and a satyr.""Amazing show! Nick Cave had a hypnotic connection with the audience and the music was awesome."

Coordinated Behavior of Mitochondria in Both Space and Time: A Reactive Oxygen Species-Activated Wave of Mitochondrial Depolarization Biophysical Journal, Volume 87, Issue 3, 1 September 2004, Pages 2022-2034 Nathan R. Brady, Steven P. Elmore, Johannes J.H.G.M. van Beek, Klaas Krab, Pierre J. Courtoy, Louis Hue and Hans V. Westerhoff Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can trigger a transient burst of mitochondrial ROS production via ROS activation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP), a phenomenon termed ROS-induced ROS release (RIRR). The goal of this study was to investigate if the generation of ROS in a discrete region of a cardiomyocyte could serve to propagate RIRR-mediated mitochondrial depolarizations throughout a cell. Our experiments revealed that localized RIRR activated either RIRR-mediated fluctuations in mitochondrial membrane potential (time period: 3–10min) or a traveling wave of depolarization of the cell's mitochondria (velocity: ∼5μm/min). Both phenomena appeared to be mediated by the mitochondrial permeability transition pore and eventually encompassed the majority of the mitochondrial population of both isolated rat and rabbit cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, depolarization was often reversible; the waves of depolarization were then followed by a rapid (∼40μm/min) repolarization wave of the mitochondria. We show that the RIRR can function to communicate the mitochondrial permeability transition from one mitochondrion to another in the isolated adult cardiomyocyte.

Transient and Long-Lasting Openings of the Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore Can Be Monitored Directly in Intact Cells by Changes in Mitochondrial Calcein Fluorescence Biophysical Journal, Volume 76, Issue 2, 1 February 1999, Pages 725-734 Valeria Petronilli, Giovanni Miotto, Marcella Canton, Marisa Brini, Raffaele Colonna, Paolo Bernardi and Fabio Di Lisa Abstract The occurrence and the mode of opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MTP) were investigated directly in intact cells by monitoring the fluorescence of mitochondrial entrapped calcein. When MH1C1 cells and hepatocytes were loaded with calcein AM, calcein was also present within mitochondria, because (i) its mitochondrial signal was quenched by the addition of tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester and (ii) calcein-loaded mitochondria could be visualized after digitonin permeabilization. Under the latter condition, the addition of Ca2+ induced a prompt and massive release of the accumulated calcein, which was prevented by CsA, indicating that calcein release could, in principle, probe MTP opening in intact cells as well. To study this process, we developed a procedure by which the cytosolic calcein signal was quenched by Co2+. In hepatocytes and MH1C1 cells coloaded with Co2+ and calcein AM, treatment with MTP inducers caused a rapid, though limited, decrease in mitochondrial calcein fluorescence, which was significantly reduced by CsA. We also observed a constant and spontaneous decrease in mitochondrial calcein fluorescence, which was completely prevented by CsA. Thus MTP likely fluctuates rapidly between open and closed states in intact cells. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1296 kb) |
Repetitive Transient Depolarizations of the Inner Mitochondrial Membrane Induced by Proton Pumping Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 3, 1 March 2005, Pages 2340-2349 Tomohiro Hattori, Koichi Watanabe, Yukiko Uechi, Hisashi Yoshioka and Yoshihiro Ohta Abstract Single mitochondria show the spontaneous fluctuations of ΔΨm. In this study, to examine the mechanism of the fluctuations, we observed ΔΨm in single isolated heart mitochondria using time-resolved fluorescence microscopy. Addition of malate, succinate, or ascorbate plus TMPD to mitochondria induced polarization of the inner membrane followed by repeated cycles of rapid depolarizations and immediate repolarizations. ADP significantly decreased the frequency of the rapid depolarizations, but the ADP effect was counteracted by oligomycin. On the other hand, the rapid depolarizations did not occur when mitochondria were polarized by the efflux of K+ from the matrix. The rapid depolarizations became frequent with the increase in the substrate concentration or pH of the buffer. These results suggest that the rapid depolarizations depend on the net translocation of protons from the matrix. The frequency of the rapid depolarizations was not affected by ROS scavengers, Ca2+, CsA, or BA. In addition, the obvious increase in the permeability of the inner membrane to calcein (MW 623) that was entrapped in the matrix was not observed upon the transient depolarization. The mechanisms of the spontaneous oscillations of ΔΨm are discussed in relation to the matrix pH and the permeability transitions. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (312 kb) |

In this study we measured ΔΨm in single isolated brain mitochondria using rhodamine 123. Mitochondria were attached to coverslips and superfused with K+-based HEPES-buffer medium supplemented with malate and glutamate. In ∼70% of energized mitochondria we observed large amplitude spontaneous fluctuations in ΔΨm with a time course comparable to that observed previously in mitochondria of intact cells. The other 30% of mitochondria maintained a stable ΔΨm. Some of the "stable" mitochondria began to fluctuate spontaneously during the recording period. However, none of the initially fluctuating mitochondria became stable. Upon the removal of substrates from the medium or application of small amounts of Ca2+, rhodamine 123 fluorescence rapidly dropped to background values in fluctuating mitochondria, while nonfluctuating mitochondria depolarized with a delay and often began to fluctuate before complete depolarization. The changes in ΔΨm were not connected to oxidant production since reducing illumination or the addition of antioxidants had no effect on ΔΨm. Fluctuating mitochondria did not lose calcein, nor was there any effect of cyclosporin A on ΔΨm, which ruled out a contribution of permeability transition. We conclude that the fluctuations in ΔΨm reflect an intermediate, unstable state of mitochondria that may lead to or reflect mitochondrial dysfunction.

Slowing down to take it easy sounds like a good idea today, but reality might still have a surprise or two in store for you. Unfortunately, this isn't the best day to get some rest so you may as well embrace the interruptions instead of attempting to avoid the unexpected. Even if you don't produce anything tangible now, an unplanned detour can ultimately turn a boring day into one you will remember for a long time to come.

When we drove this section, chain-gang workers were breaking rocks with pickaxes nearby. Chinese journalists told us that some of the workers were students who participated in the famed Tianamen Square revolt in 1989, and were sentenced to hard labor. Armed guards stand on both sides of the arch, so close to each other you figure they're likely all buddiesthe crossing itself is so far from any civilization that there's nobody to talk to but your rivals. Historically the Soviets and rival Chinese had differing policies of immigration, travel, and sharing, and despite relaxed global policies from both sides, it was still that way when we crossed. Yet here is where blonde-haired and blue-eyed Chinese children underscore that China is a land of 55 indigenous languages and ethnic variations. Further, as the dirt road descends from the mountain range onto the desolate desert floor, you're reminded that the name of China's largest desert, Taklimakan, means, "Once you enter, you will never leave."

Perfect category!
I love the challenge of a rainy day at Animal Kingdom. The animals love it which makes a Safari in the rain the best experience Disney parks have to offer in my opinion.
I'll usually shoot an average of 150-300 photos at the Animal Kingdom in one visit. On a dark cloudy/rainy day, it's a challenge to take a clear digital photo with decent lighting and focus, especially when the safari vehicle is bumping you around and you're trying to protect your lens from the rain. I love it!!
Here are a couple of recent snaps just as hurricane Jeanne was coming to town. Hope you enjoy them.
These are also the gallery that I just started. I'm not sure if I posted them correctly here (attached) so the links are below.
Take care all!

Thanks for the nice comment! I got lucky with that shot. The truck had to stop for a crossing animal and I looked behind us (I always sit in the back row for the best shots) and the Giraffe was approaching out of the brush, with the 'upside-down tree' in the background. I just had to snap that one. Came out a little dark in order to balance the sky and the subject, but loved the way everthing is laid out.Originally Posted by tiggerwannabe
Also, back at ya!... most family friends photos I see, the family/friends are blocking the icon in the background that they are posing with. You not only got a great shot of the tree, but avoided a typically "posed" shot and got them laughing and having FUN! I love it.
Take care.. Dan B
Dan... I agree with you the Characters interactiing with the guests are much nicer than just a pose.

Get that job: Six online resume tools
The first thing an employer sees when they evaluate your candidacy for a job is your resume. It tells them what you're all about, where you've been, and what you're capable of bringing to the table. It's an extremely important sheet of paper (or these days, digital document).
Realizing that, I've found some useful tools on the Web that will not only give you ideas on writing your resume, but they'll also help you improve it. If you're looking for a job, you'll definitely want to try out at least some of these sites.
Improve that resumeCareerBuilder: CareerBuilder might specialize in job searching, but the site is also a great place to get some help with your resume.
On CareerBuilder's Resume page, you'll find several useful tools for improving your resume. One option is to get paired up with a CareerBuilder resume expert who will help you write your resume. If you choose that option, you can work with the expert to create a resume that's directly tailored to your skill sets. You'll receive a first draft of the resume within four days. Prices for that service range from a $175 one-time fee for recent grads to $279 for director or "c-level" executives.
If you've already got your resume started, you might want to try out CareerBuilder's free resume review. Simply upload your resume to the site and an expert will evaluate your resume. It's a neat service that should come in handy as you start looking for that new job.
HowToWriteAResume: HowToWriteAResume provides several features that aim at making your resume as strong as it can be. But where the site really shines is in its resume builder.
When you start creating your resume on the site, you'll have the option of inputting everything from your name to your achievements throughout your career. The service takes you through six pages that require you to input information. Once complete, you can choose between several resume formats. Unfortunately, the site's free account offers you only one format option. If you want something a little nicer, you'll need to pay a one-time fee of $10.99. I found that the premium resumes are nicer, but whether or not they're worth the price is up for debate.
If you're already happy with your resume, you can use HowToWriteAResume to get expert advice on what to include in the document, as well as some basic tips. It's an all-around useful site. I'm just not convinced that the premium resumes are worth the $10.99 fee.

9th International Symposium on Formal Aspects of Component Software
Mountain View, USA, September 12-14, 2012
Registration is now open!
Deadline to register is Friday, Sept. 7, 2012!
Program | Scope | Topics of Interest | Invited Speakers |
Call for Papers | Program Committee Chairs | Past Editions
The component-based software development approach has emerged as a promising paradigm to cope with the complexity of present-day software systems by bringing sound engineering principles into software engineering. However, many challenging conceptual and technological issues still remain in component-based software development theory and practice. Moreover, the advent of service-oriented computing has brought to the fore new dimensions, such as quality of service and robustness to withstand inevitable faults, that require revisiting established component-based concepts in order to meet the new requirements of the service-oriented paradigm.
FACS 2012 is concerned with how formal methods can be used to make component-based and service-oriented software development succeed. Formal methods have provided a foundation for component-based software by successfully addressing challenging issues such as mathematical models for components, composition and adaptation, or rigorous approaches to verification, deployment, testing, and certification.
Topics of Interest
The symposium seeks to address the applications of formal methods in all aspects of software components and services. Specific topics include, but are not limited to:
- formal models for software components and their interaction
- formal aspects of services, service oriented architectures, business processes, and cloud computing
- design and verification methods for software components and services
- composition and deployment: models, calculi, languages
- formal methods and modeling languages for components and services
- model based and GUI based testing of components and services
- models for QoS and other extra-functional properties (e.g., trust, compliance, security) of components and services
- components for real-time, safety-critical, secure, and/or embedded systems
- industrial or experience reports, and case studies
- update and reconfiguration of component and service architectures
- component systems evolution and maintenance
- autonomic components and self-managed applications
- formal and rigorous approaches to software adaptation and self-adaptive systems
Invited Speakers
Tevfik Bultan, UC Santa Barbara
Shaz Qadeer, Microsoft

SHANGHAI, Dec. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Peninsula Shanghai has been recognised as the world's top business hotel for the second consecutive year by US-based Travel+Leisure magazine. The results of the annual World's Best Business Hotels survey are published in the December 2013 issue, which features the premier hotels for business travellers in cities around the world as voted for by its readers. This prestigious accolade acknowledges the prominent role of The Peninsula Shanghai in promoting hospitality excellence in China, which is predicted by the Global Business Travel Association to become the world's largest business travel market by 2016.
The Peninsula Shanghai topped Travel+Leisure's World's Best Business Hotels list, with an impressive score of 97.27 out of 100. The magazine's review of the hotel commends "the 235 guest rooms that combine embossed glass lamps and black-lacquer screens with 21st-century amenities. All come with VoIP phones, portable master control panels, and spa tubs with music and light settings."
Every year, the readers of Travel+Leisure -- a publication that is widely recognised as a leading global authority on travel and tourism trends -- are asked to nominate the hotels that represent the very best in worldwide business travel. Respondents are asked to rate hotels on room quality and amenities, facilities for business travellers, location, service standards, restaurants and food, and overall value. The Travel+Leisure editorial team screens all respondents, and responses from any identified travel-industry professionals who completed the survey are eliminated from the final tally.
"Being voted as the world's best business hotel for a second successive year by a respected authority like Travel+Leisure is a great achievement. This is one of the most coveted awards in the global travel industry," said Joseph W.Y. Chong, General Manager, The Peninsula Shanghai.
"Winning this title proves that the hospitality industry in China can now compete with the very best in the world. It provides us with extra motivation as a team to deliver world-class standards of comfort and service supported by cutting-edge proprietary technology to business travellers in Shanghai, which is the primary financial and commercial centre in Mainland China."
About Travel+Leisure
Travel+Leisure, a monthly title by American Express Publishing, has the largest audience of any international travel magazine. For more information, please visit http://www.travelandleisure.com
About The Peninsula Shanghai
Located on the historic riverside Bund, The Peninsula Shanghai pays homage to Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s, and recreates the look and feel of this glamorous era when the city was feted as "The Paris of the East". The Peninsula Shanghai features 235 comfortable guest rooms and suites commanding city and garden views, three restaurants -- Yi Long Court for fine Cantonese dining, Sir Elly's serving modern European cuisine, and The Lobby offering The Peninsula's famed Afternoon Tea -- plus the maritime-themed Compass Bar and nightly dancing at the timeless Salon de Ning.
In addition, the hotel offers guests a suite of rejuvenating treatments and wellness therapies at The Peninsula Spa. The Peninsula Arcade is home to more than 25 deluxe international brand stores, and The Peninsula Boutique stocks a wide range of branded Peninsula merchandise and gourmet treats.

It appears the Washington Capitals will have to wait a little longer to see Evgeny Kuznetsov in North America.
Various reports indicate Kuznetsov, one the Capitals top prospects, has decided to continue playing in Russia's Kontinental Hockey League, signing a two-year deal with Chelyabinsk.
"It was a tough decision, I talked to my parents and decided to stay in Chelyabinsk for two more years," Kuznetsov told R-Sport.
Kuznetsov, who was drafted 26th overall by the Capitals in 2010, had 41 points in 42 games for Chelyabinsk Traktor last season and the Capitals were hoping he would join the team next season.
The 19-year-old has his sights set on playing for Russia at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi and feels that playing with Chelyabinsk will increase his chances of making the team.
"First of all, I really want to make the Olympic team badly," Kuznetsov told R-Sport. "We have a strong team, I'll get some experience and will play."
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.
