Next year the British publisher of Anne Frank's diary will release a diary by Helga Weiss, one of the few children from the Czech ghetto of Terezin who survived Auschwitz. Weiss, who grew up to be an internationally known artist, was confronted by Josef Mengele in the camps, but managed to save herself and her mother by convincing guards that she was older and her mother was much younger.

Backpacker Magazine – June 2008
Get maximum support, traction, and protection without wafflestomper weight or break-in. Welcome to the new breed of all-terrain, any-load boots.
Big-Load Support | Fast & Light | Best for Hard Miles | All-Day Comfort | Best Fit | Bargain
Scarpa Barun GTX
Overall 4.9
It's rare for a boot to get a near-perfect score in a BACKPACKER field test, but this nubuck suede model managed the feat with an amazingly balanced performance: It earned the field's top marks for support and stability under big loads, and the highest score for out-of-the-box comfort. The polypropylene midsole is the stiffest in the test (good for heavy loads and edging), but the graduated flex and pronounced rocker (curve) make for natural striding. The high, snug-fitting cuff kept testers' ankles stable even in rooty, slippery conditions on Vermont's Long Trail and rocky ravines in New Hampshire's Presidentials. The traditional square-lugged tread shed mud and gripped well on all types of terrain, and the Gore-Tex membrane kept our feet dry. Fit favors medium to wide feet, but not one tester–regardless of foot shape or volume–reported toe bang or heel slip. Credit pivoting lace loops and ankle lacing hooks that are easy to tighten and that help customize volume, combined with ankle "cutouts" that relieve pressure on climbs and let you cinch the lacing without pinching. Our only gripe: The sole is so stiff it can feel a bit clunky when you roll off your toe at the end of a stride. $219; 3 lbs. 7 oz.; men's 38–47, 48; women's 36–43. (303) 998-2895; scarpa.com.

Does anyone have any input on the difference between the Scarpa Barun GTX and the Scarpa Ladakh?
I'm looking to purchase a pair or either one of these and was wondering if anyone knew pros and cons when comparing them to each other.
Thanks in advance.
Still stupid all 6 of these boots have the same readers comments
I'm a size 12.5 and have a hard time finding boots. 12's fit good but can jam the toes on a down hill, 13 too loose and rub. Anybody make a narrow 13 or long 12 or how bout a nice 12.5?
Hey....just bought these boots from Zappos.com on advice of this site. I've worn them all day with a 2 mile walk through the neighborhood. I'm leaving for Utah's Zion National Park this Sunday and intend on wearing them.....so far...so good. It's funny as I've made plenty of fun of people who buy boots and wear them the next day out on the trail but the boots I had intended on wearing were bruising a toe. I guess will get a "come to Jesus" test in the coming week. I'll report back.
This is stupid, Hey Backpacker.com try reading your READERS COMMENTS section, if I went to buy a pair of boots by how well a reader found them I would have been screwed, for every single one of the boots listed (Big-Load Support | Fast & Light | Best for Hard Miles | All-Day Comfort | Best Fit | Bargain) they all have the same READERS COMMENTS. Good thing I have a great pair of boots from Asolo.
My size is 15-D. Where can I find some good hiking boots? Please send answer to: firstname.lastname@example.com
My comment was in regards to the Hi-Tec Peak II.
I actually just bought a pair about two weeks ago at the Army surplus store on Hampdon and Broadway in Denver.
They are great so far. I know boots pretty well as I am a Wilderness Ranger with the U.S. Forest Service. I go through a lot of boot. I am pretty impressed with these guys so far. The only gripe I have is they are not full grain leather all the way around. There is a seam near the instep. This was a problem on some boots I bought last year in Tibet because the seam ended up splitting after a lot of use.
We'll see.
But, they are available in the US!!! And for the price they are a great deal.
This looked like the right boot for me, then I learned that they are not available in my neck of the woods. I kinda feel cheated.
It might be nice if this shoe was offered in the US......
I found that this boot was available online only in the US in Maine....I would like to try this on at a store prior to my purchase. I have high arches and narrow feet, which severely limits the choices of shoes, much less boots, that I am able to wear. I suffered through 6.5 years in the USMC with gov't issued boots....if I have to buy them now, I would rather purchase something that was readily available to the general public....I would like to have reviews of readily available footware in the future.

Jeff Siegel's Santa Anita Analysis (April 5, 2012)
Santa Anita Derby week begins with a $40,000 claiming sprint that has only four starters following the scratch this morning of #5 Shrug. Late-running sprinter #2 Scofield Barracks shouldn't be too far back early and we're thinking this class dropper will be able to wear down "lone f" #1 Honour Family in the final furlong. Obviously, there are better opportunities later on in the program.
The second race is a weak bottom rung maiden claiming that looks made to order for #5 Warren's Jazz Walk, but he's 4/5 on the morning line so there's nothing to work with here, either.
The Pick-6 begins with the third race, a competitive downhill turf sprint for entry level 3-year-old fillies. The morning line favorite, #2 Starry Skies, has been scratched, so we'll concentrate on #1 Hidinginplainsight and #7 Belle Passe in our rolling exotics. The former graduated in gate-to-wire style over this course last month with a strong number and could be the controlling speed right back, while the latter came from nowhere with the help of the race-shape to win her U.S. debut impressively a couple of months back and looks like the most dangerous of the closing types.
#7 Splendid Fortune is the 8/5 morning line choice in the fourth race – a maiden sprint for 3-year-old fillies – and it will take something pretty good to beat her. The daughter of Giant's Causeway didn't get the best of runs from the rail when second with a solid figure in her debut and Baffert's stats with second time starters indicate improvement is very likely. The best of the newcomers would appear to be #5 Prospero, a Mitchell-trained daughter of Yes It's True with a series of sharp drills to her credit according to private clocker Andy Harrington.
State bred maiden fillies and mares sprint down the hill in the fifth race, and we're expecting the likely short priced favorite #8 Unbridled Ambition to move up a ton following a runner-up effort under similar conditions last month. The Gaines-trained daughter of Broken Vow probably won't show her best until she stretches out, but she's more than good enough to handle this modest band. She'll be odds-on rolling exotic single on many tickets.
The sixth race is a highly competitive second level allowance sprint for fillies and mares. You may feel the need to spread, as there are at least three in here capable of winning. #2 Miss Radiance is back sprinting – she's effective at any distance - and the Puype-trained filly should be doing her best work in the final furlong with the switch to Gomez. #6 Mildly Offensive returns for Gaines (strong with comebackers) and has been very impressive in the morning, appearing fit and ready. Bejarano came out to work her in a sharp five furlong move March 22 (:59 1/5). #8 Chukchi Sunrise has won three of her last four over the all weather surface at Golden Gate Fields and has earned numbers that make her a strong fit on this circuit. She'll be a pace factor outside throughout and offers considerable value at anything close to her morning line odds of 5-1.
The featured seventh race is a nine furlong grassy affair for first level allowance fillies and mares. The inclination is to spread the race, but we're going to take a stand and single #6 Caelis. She has an improving pattern for Miller, gets an extra furlong to work with today, switches to Gomez, and has continued to impress in the morning. There should be enough early pace to compliment her late-running style.
The finale is a bottom rung claiming miler full of question marks. #5 Man Chester Man finished third in a similar event last month and won't have to improve much at all to beat this group; with nine career victories to his credit he at least knows where the wire is. #6 Hammurabi drops for Sadler following an uninspiring recent comeback race that he had a right to need; he switches to Rosario and should be on or near the lead throughout. #7 Wild Revenge is a huge class dropper from Canani's barn; we have no idea what kind of shape he's in considering he beat $35,000 claimers two races back.

Funding opportunities
Stem Cell Lipid Organization
Funding Type:
SEED Grant
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$617 500
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
Cell membranes constitute one of the fundamental structural and functional elements of living organisms. These complex mixtures of lipids and proteins form the outer boundary of the cell. They distinguish between the 'inside" and the "outside", and allow the cell to communicate with its environment and maintain its integrity. Membranes are generated when a cell is "born" and membrane lipids are continuously remodeled during the life of the cell. In this remodeling process lipids from the environment are taken up and used. All cell types in the body have a closely regulated and characteristic membrane lipid organization, and while very little is known on the lipid organization of embryonic stem cells, they are likely no exception. When stem cells are collected and grown in cell culture, it is essential to provide them with an environment that maintains their membrane integrity and allow them to proliferate and differentiate into the tissue of choice. In our proposed studies we plan to define the lipid composition and organization of stem cells in culture. We will change the cell culture conditions to modulate self-renewal and differentiation, and specifically test this in a system to where human lung epithelial cells are generated from stem cells. The biochemical, cell biology and molecular biology technology that has been established in our laboratory for cord blood derived stem cell studies will be applied for these studies on human embryonic stem cells, currently not funded by the federal government. By exploring the role of lipids in proliferation and differentiation of human embryonic stem cells, our preliminary studies will add substantially to the body of knowledge on human embryonic stem cells, and set the stage for full scale investigations to define the role of lipids in modulating the therapeutic use of embryonic stem cells.
Statement of Benefit to California:
A significant better understanding is needed to define the powerful potential of self-renewal and differentiation of human embryonic stem cell for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease and injury. While lipids are essential components of all cells, including stem cells, little is known with respect to the organization of lipids in human embryonic stem cells. Moreover, we pose that lipids in the environment of these cells may modulate both self-renewal and differentiation. We anticipate that our studies will add substantially to the body of knowledge on human embryonic stem cells, and set the stage for full scale investigations to define the role of lipids in modulating the therapeutic use of embryonic stem cells. The opportunity offered by the CIRM SEED Grant program in California allows established investigators to explore studies that would otherwise be impossible due to the lack of federal funds. Our proposed studies will be part of a large effort to establish California as an important scientific center in stem cell research. It will create a scientific community with experience in embryonic stem cell research, attract scientists interested in exploring the potential of embryonic stem cells to our state, and will accelerate the development of applications of stem cells for therapeutic use.
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: This application proposes to determine the nature and organization of lipids in hESC membranes, as possible indicators of SC status (apoptosis, proliferation, differentiation). It also addresses the question whether the composition of the lipids in the culture medium may affect the regulation of SC growth and induction of differentiation or apoptosis. The PI proposes to define the molecular composition of hESC phospholipids, the enzymes that regulate their turnover and the proteins that maintain phospholipid asymmetry at the cell membrane. Variations in the culture conditions that promote growth or differentiation, or that prevent apoptosis will be investigated. Addition of lipids, including synthetic peptides that mimic the LDL binding domain of ApoE, will be investigated. A second aim seeks to determine whether specific lipid composition is relevant to differentiation of stem cells into functional lung epithelial cells. The long term goal of these studies is to identify the role of specific phospholipids species on hESC differentiation and self-renewal, including the use of lipids as potential biomarkers. INNOVATION AND SIGNIFICANCE: The proposed studies are reasonable and feasible, though not hugely original or innovative. All the proposed studies can be done given time and effort. The results are likely to clarify aspects of stem cell biology and provide usful hints to guide the selection of nutrients and additives (including synthetic lipoproteins) in culture medium to prevent apoptotic changes and mitochondrial damage that reduce the efficiency of the cultures. The lipid compositon of hESCs is a timely and important question. To date lipidomic analysis is the most well developed and systematically developed form of the larger field of Metabolomics. The overall goals of this project are important and timely and the potential impact and significance of the results is high. STRENGTHS: The PI and his collaborators are currently supported by NHLBI for studies of phospholipids on red blood cell membranes in sickle cell disease and have all the necessary techniques and equipment at their disposal. Drs. Kuypers, Forte and Serikov are all experienced researchers with substantial publication records in this and related areas. Dr Kuypers has carried out studies of expansion of stem cells in cord blood. The participation of Drs. Ames and Atamna adds substance to the studies on preventing or reversing mitochondrial stress and oxidative damage to cells in culture. The environment at CHORI is excellent for these studies: several investigators in stem cell-related areas including clinical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, will undoubtedly contribute to Dr. Kuypers work. Another strength of this application is the appreciation by the applicants that standard cell culture conditions leads to aberrant membrane lipid composition. Growing cells in 10% FBS does not provide the physiological exposure to many fatty acids and other metabolites. The studies will be conducted incorporating technical improvements to conditions such as lower O2 tension in the incubators as well as higher CO2, to reflect actual live conditions better. The applicants will actively examine the effects of various culture conditions to define the effects on membrane lipid composition. WEAKNESSES: The main weakness is the lack of proper consideration of the potential changes that can occur in cultures. The proposal even suggests that several hESC lines may have to be studied, from the same source (Harvard) or other sources. Conceivably, the studies would be detecting and characterizing artifacts of the life in culture dishes of these stem cells, including possibly the adaptation to those dishes. They might not represent the natural patterns of lipids on native hESCs. Thus, some changes may not be characteristic of the functional differentiation towards mature cells but simply further reflections of life in culture without a functional connotation. One of the deficiencies in the proposal is that the applicants are not experts in lipid mass spectrometry. Some of the lipid analysis will be subcontracted. There is no discussion of how the data will be analyzed. There is no discussion of the levels of significance, what internal standards will be used for quantitative analysis nor any of the numerous bioinformatics issues will be addressed. In short the applicants have presented an interesting question and their expertise in the relevant areas of biology are clear. However, there is no clear demonstration that they will know what to do with these massive data setsthat will be generated from the proposed studies, important in own right. DISCUSSION: Although not a particularly original approach, the question proposed by the work is fundamentally important. The lipidomic/metabolic analysis is being subcontracted; the subcontractor is not known for doing this kind of molecular species analysis. There is no explicit discussion as to how the very large resulting dataset would be handled; typically a bioinformatics core is required for these large analyses. There is a lack of discussion of appropriate controls, how many samples, how many variants scored. In short, there were methodological concerns with the application.

Cinematography of 'American Horror Story: Asylum' Uses Classic Tools to Terrify in 35mm
If you didn't watch last year's premiere of FX networks' American Horror Story, you missed out on some seriously daring television. There was sex (and scandal), there were scares (and some blood-splatter), and there were spirits — though which characters were truly flesh-and-blood and which were a bit more ghostly didn't become clear until much later – all in the context of an addicting melodrama. The series (created by Nip/Tuck and Glee masterminds Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk) recently began its second season with some cast-members returning (to play different roles), but the setting has been moved to a darkly-imagined Massachusetts mental institution. One vital piece of the puzzle that is AHS is its look, which is being achieved on 35mm film — especially notable when FX's own Sons of Anarchy and Justified, for instance, have opted for Alexa and EPIC respectively. Courtesy American Cinematographer, here's a look at the shooting style of this aggressively original program — and just in time for the show's Halloween episode premiere! More »

Another speach with nothing but platitudes. He says we need to control spending and then lists off billion dollar projects which government is supposed to initiate. How does that cut spending? The biggest government expenditures are entitlements – SS, Medicare, and the newly created healthcare 'right'. He mentions not narry a word on how we are going to control these expenditures. His speaches and his actions never seem to match up.
He will do nothing to control government spending and will demonize anyone who makes a serious attempt to do so. This is not leadership – this is (again) voting 'present'.

You are about to see the full court press by every mainstream news outlet to paint Obama as the second coming of Christ. It won't matter what he does, never has before why should they stop now, just so long as he gives good speeches. Re-election is now the name of the game and if the country goes in the toilet, so be it as long as they can pat themselves on the back because they got their guy in. You won't see debate on issues, all you will see is personal attacks and the usual vitriolic BS that has been so over-used before that it has become cliche toward any Republican who dares challenge Obama. One watching the post speech coverage would need a barf bag due to the over the top fawning that went on. Never has a man said so little and gotten so much praise.

Rambo wrote, "Obama said he could fix everything. He and the Democrat Congress only made it worse."
Okay, Rambo, please cite your source that Obama said that. I won't wait, though. Obama never said any such thing. Not once did I ever read or hear him say that. In fact, I have NEVER heard ANY politician in either party, or in between, say that. They are often quoted by people like you as having said that, but it has never been said. They've made claims on which they haven't produced, but they have never said they'd "fix everything." (Conrad said years ago that if he couldn't reduce the deficit he would resign. That was not a smart thing to say, because it is impossible for one person to have that much influence.)
I listened to a lot of speeches by Obama during the election of 2008. I took longer than ever to make up my mind than I had ever before. The phrase that I heard most often was, "It isn't going to be easy…It's going to be hard." NEVER did he say he was going to fix everything…And you, Rambo, call Obama a liar! Grow up.

A back and forth first half that saw chances for both teams should have gone into halftime as a draw, but Fulham's Simon Davies and West Brom's Scott Carson had other plans. Thanks to Davies' shot and Carson's error, the relegation threatened Cottagers have a 1-0 lead at home.
West Brom had the more clear cut chances of the two teams before the goal, causing David Stockdale, starting in the absence of Mark Schwarzer, to do some solid work in goal. Fulham took the lead in first half stoppage time, though off of a 25 yard shot by Davies.
The opportunity was created by Dickson Etuhu, who appeared to commit a foul when he stole the ball off of a West Brom player. The referee waved play on, though, and Etuhu passed to Davies. Davies unloaded a decent shot at goal, but it was right in the middle of the goal, directly towards Carson. The West Brom keeper couldn't deal with the shot, though. Despite the ball hitting him in the hands, it went straight through them and into the back of the net, giving Fulham a perhaps undeserved 1-0 lead.
Everyone who has seen Fulham this season is expecting this one to end in a 1-1 draw, though. Right?

On The Campaign Trail With LN-CC-------
The London e-commerce and by-appointment boutique LN-CC is moving quickly from an insider's secret—it's name-checked as a favorite by the likes of J.W. Anderson, who included it on a list of his London must-visits in Issue 02 of Style.com/Print, and Phillip Lim—to a retail leader. So perhaps it was only a matter of time before the shop tried out a campaign. The five-part series they've created for Spring has launched quietly over the past few weeks on LN-CC.com, but the impact, according to brand director Dan Mitchell, has been immediate. "I'm actually very surprised," he admitted to Style.com. "The response has been fantastic." The men's and women's shots, styled by creative director John Skelton and shot by the in-house LN-CC team, were lensed not in London but worldwide. The store's reach may be growing, but it remains an inside player in some respects. Fashion obsessives will recognize one of the men's models from the first campaign as Robbie Snelders, Raf Simons' muse and righthand man. A follow-up for Fall is soon to be in the works.
East London Calling, Online And By Appointment-------
As the creative director and buyer for the online menswear retailer Oki-Ni, John Skelton was well aware that more than a few women were shopping for dude's duds on his site. Now he's applying that unisex sensibility to his new store. LN-CC—which stands for Late Night Chameleon Cafe—launches online early next week with a mix of fashion-forward menswear from the likes of Raf Simons and Rick Owens, cult Japanese brands including Wacko Maria, and up-and-comers such as specs-maker Illesteva. Ladies' goods include clothing from Preen and jewelry from Lara Bohinc and Mawi. So far, so good—and Skelton has gone unisex one better by asking several of the menswear brands he's stocking to make versions of their apparel and accessories in women's sizes and fits. (A few of the women's labels at LN-CC will be returning the favor.) "We didn't want to get into anything girly," Skelton explains. "There's a certain sensibility at work here, that a certain kind of woman appreciates, and we're staying true to that."
Meanwhile, the LN-CC e-commerce site is only the tip of the iceberg. Skelton and partner Dan Mitchell are knee-deep in construction on the 5,000-square-foot Late Night Chameleon Cafe store in East London, an appointment-only space that is being designed in collaboration with set designer Gary Card and which will host a library curated by Donlon Books owner Conor Donlon and a wide-ranging selection of music titles. The shop is due to open in October. "We really felt strongly that we didn't want this to be a place people just wandered in and out of," Skelton explains, when asked about the decision to make Late Night Chameleon Cafe open only by appointment. "We want this to be a destination, a place people come to with a sense of purpose, and where they spend some time, and engage."

Things were starting to look up for Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker. He had thrown three first-half touchdowns against the New York Jets and was playing about as well as he has in his NFL career. But in the third quarter, Locker suffered a hip injury.
He was taken to the hospital for further tests but no word on his status has been released. The Titans are sitting at the top of the AFC South after Sunday's win, but Locker's health will be crucial going forward.
Here are some other injuries you may have missed on Sunday.
Jason Pierre-Paul suffers knee injury against Colts
Things went from bad to worse for the New York Giants late in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Star defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul suffered a knee injury late in the game and it didn't look pretty. There will be more news to come, but Pierre-Paul's injury looked serious.
Brian Cushing suffers concussion in Texans loss to Seahawks
Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing left Sunday's loss to the Seahawks with a concussion. He was being evaluated by trainers on the sideline before being declared out for the game.
Darren McFadden leaves game with hamstring injury
Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden left Sunday's game against Washington with a hamstring injury. Once considered injury-prone, McFadden has held up well recently. He did not return to the game after his injury and we'll learn more in the coming days.
Santonio Holmes doesn't finish game after hamstring injury
The Jets limped out of Sunday's game against the Titans. Wide receiver Santonio Holmes suffered a hamstring injury late in the game and couldn't finish. He's been working his way back from a foot injury as well, so this is not good news for Geno Smith 's No. 1 option.
Alfred Morris knocked out of game with rib injury
The Redskins are having a disastrous season, and it got worse on Sunday when running back Alfred Morris suffered a rib injury. He was unable to finish the game, but the severity of his injury is not yet know.

Andrew James Whitworth[1] (born December 12, 1981) is an American football offensive lineman for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for Louisiana State University (LSU). He was chosen in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft.
Early years[edit]
Whitworth was rated by CNNSI.com as the sixth-best offensive line prospect in the nation. He participated in the first ever U.S. Army All-American Bowl game on December 30, 2000 along with other future LSU players Marcus Spears, Marquise Hill, and Ben Wilkerson. He attended West Monroe High School in West Monroe, Louisiana, where he played under legendary coach Don Shows and graduated in 2001. He was a part of two Louisiana Class 5A State Championship teams in 1998 and 2000 when the school was listed by the National High School Football Tony Poll as National Champions. He was also part of four straight District Championship teams in one of the toughest districts in the state.
College career[edit]
Whitworth did not play in 2001; he was redshirted as a freshman. In 2002, he started every game, and was recognized as a first-team Freshman All-American by The Sporting News and Football Writers Association. As a sophomore in 2003, he started all 14 games. The team went 13-1 en route to a BCS national title with Sugar Bowl defeat of Oklahoma. He led the team with 1008 snaps and credited with 105 key blocks, including 82 knockdowns. In 2004, Whitworth led the team with 799 snaps from scrimmage as the Tigers went 9-3 with Citrus Bowl berth against Iowa. His play was key for an offense that scored 39 TDs and averaged 395.6 yards per game. He was credited with 96 key blocks, including 66 knockdowns, and played every offensive snap during a four-game stretch against Georgia, Florida, Troy and Vanderbilt. Helping LSU to an 11-2 record, he played left tackle in 2005. That season was capped by 40-3 Peach Bowl win over Miami (Fla.). He played every offensive snap in nine of the 13 contests, for an offense that averaged 374.1 yards per game. By not allowing a sack all season, he finished his career with 22 straight games of no sacks allowed. He was credited with 104 key blocks/knockdowns. Whitworth played in the East-West Shrine Game on January 21, 2006 in San Antonio, Texas.
His 52 career starts from 2002-05 rank second in NCAA Division I history behind Derrick Strait of Oklahoma (53 starts, 2000–03). He earned All-Southeastern Conference first-team honors in each of his last two seasons, including a consensus nod as a senior.
He graduated with a degree in general studies.
Professional career[edit]
Cincinnati Bengals[edit]
Whitworth was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round (55th overall) in the 2006 NFL Draft. He made his NFL debut on special teams September 10 at Kansas City. He started at LG in his second game, September 17 vs. the Cleveland Browns, as part of a line shuffle that saw LG Eric Steinbach replace injured Levi Jones at left tackle. Whitworth helped Bengals pile up 481 yards against Browns, including 145 rushing yards by Rudi Johnson. He was in the starting lineup for the remainder of the season, in part due to the number of injuries that depleted the Bengals offensive line. On November 12 vs. the San Diego Chargers, he helped the offense produce a season-high 545 yards and career-high 440 yards passing from Carson Palmer. He also had a key block on Rudi Johnson's seven-yard TD run in first quarter. On July 25, 2008, Whitworth agreed in principle four-year extension with the Bengals that would keep him in Cincinnati through 2013, worth a reported $30 million.[2]
In 2009, head coach Marvin Lewis decided to move Whitworth from guard to left tackle and saw immediate impact.He started all 16 games of the season allowing just 5 sacks and helping running back Cedric Benson to have a breakout year rushing for 1251 yards. On December 12, 2010 Whitworth caught a one yard touchdown pass from Carson Palmer. It was the first of his career.
In January, 2013, Whitworth was named as a left tackle to the AFC Pro Bowl team. CBS Sports

The place where Sikhs gather to worship is called a gurdwara and literally means the guru's door. A gurdwara meeting place has no specific design. It can be a bare, clean, simple room or an elaborate building, such as the Golden Temple with its marble floors, gilded frescos, and ornate domes. Gurdwaras may be surrounded by fountains, or have a moat used by pilgrims for bathing. There might be a flag marked with the emblem of the Sikh coat of arms. The one necessary feature is the installation of Siri Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh Scripture.
Anyone is welcome to worship in a gurdwara regardless of caste, color, or creed. A specific protocol exists for the gurdwara. Cleanliness is essential. If you are thinking of visiting a gurdwara, here are some things to keep in mind:
- Be modestly attired.
- Cover your head.
- Remove your shoes.
- Wash hands and feet if needed.
- Bow before the Guru Granth.
- Offer any donation such as flowers, food items or money.
- Sit quietly on the floor with your legs crossed facing Guru Granth.
- Accept prasad, a sanctified delicacy made from flour, butter, and sugar.
- Enjoy a meal from the free kitchen.
Inappropriate Gurdwara Conduct
The gurdwara is considered the house of the Guru Granth Sahib, ceremonies and practices not condoned include:
- Festivities associated with other faiths.
- Any other book or scripture level with, or above Guru Granth.
- Rituals involving burning lamps & incense.
- Sounding a gong.
- Idol worship or bowing to statues or pictures of the ten gurus.
- Keeping water beneath the cot on which Guru Granth rests.
- Sitting with legs extended or feet pointed towards Guru Granth.
- Sitting on a cushion, chair, or in any position or posture designating rank.
- Massaging, pressing or rubbing floor, walls, or legs supporting the Guru's cot.
- Smoking, drinking, dancing, or parties
Only a Sikh may perform kirtan or read aloud from the Guru Granth before sangat.
Opening Guru Granth
Prior to any worship service, a Sikh able to read the scripture offers a prayer, and then ceremoniously opens the Guru Granth. The resting place for Guru Granth is required to have:
- A canopy over head.
- A cot with small cushions, pillows or similar items.
- Coverlets to drape over the Guru Granth.
- A small whisk to fan the Guru Granth.
Gurdwara Programs and Worship Services
Sikhs congregate together in the gurdwara for a multitude of purposes. To avoid disruption of any function, only one activity may take place at a time in a particular hall. Gurdwara worship services include:
- Kirtan: Singing devotional hymns of Sikh scripture.
- Katha: Narration of Sikh scriptures and their meanings.
- Gurbani: Recitation of any Sikh scriptures or daily prayers.
- Ardas: A prayerful supplication and invocation of blessing.
- Hukam: Reading of a random verse from Guru Granth.
- Simran and Naam Jap: Recitation of Waheguru, the Sikh word for God.
Gurdwara Events
Gurdwaras with large memberships usually have several rooms in addition to the main hall, which may be used for services or other purposes including:
- Akhand Paath: A continuous unbroken reading of Guru Granth.
- Anand Karaj: A Sikh wedding.
- Amrit: The Sikh initiation ceremony.
- Gurmat: Classes for study in any subject of Sikhism.
- Langar: Cooking, serving, and eating food from the guru's free kitchen.
- Nagara: A drum used for special occasions.
- Kirtan: Singing of hymns.
- Seva: Community service of any kind on behalf of the congregation.
- Speeches: Issues having to do with the gurdwara or Sikh community.

NH's past: Just leave it to Hollywood
At this month's town election, Kingston voters rejected a proposal to spend $150,000 to save the 179-year-old, publicly owned Grace Daley house on Main Street. Rather than spend the money, they voted for demolition. The house is a goner, but its pieces might be given renewed life by a California actor turned preservationist.
Bronson Pinchot, most famous for playing the character Balki in the 1980s TV show "Perfect Strangers" and Serge in the Beverly Hills Cop movies, has a cable TV show in which he salvages pre-1840s buildings. When a fan brought the Grace Daley house to his attention, he contacted the town about using it for his show.
Pinchot carefully disassembles old buildings and reuses their parts. As he said in an interview with the Union Leader last week, "you admire the workmanship and you honor it."
That is something done less and less in New Hampshire. There are numerous examples. To cite only a few, in 2006 Manchester razed its oldest standing firehouse. In 2011, the State Employees Association bought a beautiful Concord home built in 1802 and tore it down. In January, the owners of the Balsams Grand Resort, having no use for one of the original buildings, burned it down.
The attitude expressed by SEA president Diana Lacey in 2011 is more prevalent than it should be. "We're interested in the property. We're not interested in the building," she told Concord's Demolition Review Committee.
Who really is interested in old buildings these days? They're so... old. All that creaky wood and warped glass, those narrow stairwells and drafty doorways. Modern is the way to go. And it is the way New Hampshire is going. Without looking back. Just light the match and walk away, looking ever forward, ever forward.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

There's no NBA season right now (thank you very much, lockout), so what does that leave four of the biggest NBA stars to do on a November weekend? Be recruited by the Oregon Ducks and the USC Trojans, of course! OK, OK, there might be some NCAA rules violation if that was actually taking place (there's probably thousands of pages to the NCAA rulebook, you expect me to read them all?).
Below you can see the four NBA stars who wanted to take part in one of the high-profile games this season.

Provo Canyon Limited
Climb aboard the Heber Valley Railroad for breathtaking views of Mt. Timpanogos and the dramatic, glacier-carved landscape of the Provo Canyon.
The Provo Canyon Limited departs from The Heber Valley Railroad Station, winds around the shores of Deer Creek Reservoir, then travels along the banks of the beautiful Provo River to Vivian Park.

I am in the process of moving over some legacy code and trying to update as much of the code as possible to supported APIs -
We have some code that makes a call to the following to get the current group - is there a PublicApi equivalent for this?
Not until 8.0 and then its a little different. GetCurrent isn't in the inprocess API because it requires a url at some stage in its logic, making it more appropriate in the widget API.
You can always Parse the url. May not be the best but you have a group path up until an application delimiter.
Also depending what you are doing it may be more appropriately done in a widget

Newburyport Daily News
---- — AMESBURY — The Amesbury Chamber of Commerce and Industrial Foundation is getting set to host the 15th Annual Restaurant Showcase, with a new twist this year.
Besides offering food from Amesbury restaurants, the event will also feature a shopping showcase of Amesbury stores.
This event has always been a success for the Amesbury Chamber of Commerce to raise funds for the Amesbury holiday decorations.
Amesbury Chamber Executive Director Melissa Lachance said, "We wanted to grow this event for the shops and salons to participate.
Over the years the restaurants have done a tremendous job at this event and we are hoping to draw a broader audience."
The Amesbury Chamber is hoping that the addition of the shops and salons will encourage guests to stay longer and come back to shop and dine in Amesbury going forward. The event has been moved to a larger location to accommodate more people and the shops.
The event will now be held at Bartley Machine, 35 Water St., on the second floor above Coastal Connections. It will be held Wednesday, Dec. 5, 5:30 to 8 p.m.
The admission for this event is $10, which includes a door prize raffle. There are additional raffle tickets to purchase for prizes including a grand prize of $1,000 worth of gift cards to local businesses. Tickets will be on sale at the door and at the Amesbury Chamber office, 5 Market Square.
The Amesbury Chamber of Commerce and Industrial Foundation is following up the event with two Thursdays (Dec. 6 and 13) of invitation nights. Amesbury shops will stay open until at least 7 p.m. to meet and greet new customers and give people an option to do some holiday shopping at local businesses.
All of this follows up from Amesbury's holiday parade and tree lighting set for Saturday, Dec. 1, with a theme of "Christmas Around the World."

Blog Post by Sarah Jacobs
Dr. Sarah Jacobs participated as an associate ophthalmologist during Week 1 of the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital program in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She is a graduate of the Mayo Medical School in Rochester, MN.
This afternoon, at the end of a day of paperwork and eye drops and cleaning and more paperwork, there was a knock on the door of the plane (that phrase sounded a lot more normal until I actually wrote it out). A woman from the ORBIS Ethiopian office was standing outside on the stairs with a group of grade school children who had arrived for a tour. A lecture was underway in the front classroom, and a surgery was in progress in the back OR. We silenced the kids with stern hushing, then led them to the laser procedure room.
"Ugh. Think of all the equipment in here that they can wreak havoc on," said my inner curmudgeon. "Ooh! Remember the first time you looked at an eye?" said my better self.
I took the kids to the slit lamp in pairs, with one child as the patient and one as the doctor. I turned on the lights and adjusted the beams and let them look at each other's eyes. Every child came away with an expression of curiosity and discovery on his or her face, as if they had just seen something truly amazing. Have you ever had a moment when you perfectly, clearly, joyfully remember why you do what you do? This moment was one of mine.
I grew up on a dead-end dirt road called Poverty Flat, in a small, windy northern Arizona town. I was the youngest of 5 kids in a family living well below the poverty line – grimy faces, hand-me-down clothes, pinto beans for dinner, and a backyard well for water. For most of my childhood, the town lacked specialty healthcare. Even if it had been available, we wouldn't have been able to afford it. My mom had her first stroke when I was 12, and the general sense in my family was to accept it as fate. When my dad had a retinal detachment, the nearest retinal specialist was 5 hours away. We were poor. Care was beyond reach. Nothing could be done to change it. I hated the feeling of helplessly surrendering.
I studied hard, earned scholarships, and worked three jobs to put myself through college. I ploughed on through medical school, planning to pursue general family practice medicine. During my third year of medical school, I was on a service trip to the Dominican Republic where I worked with an ophthalmologist who changed my entire career trajectory. The people there had a local expression describing the blind: "Bocas sin manos," meaning mouths without hands – people who must be fed but can't do anything to contribute back to their families or the community. Think what an impact it can have on their productivity, quality of life, and sense of self-worth when their vision is restored.
Nearly 5 years ago, a South American woman told me a story about a gigantic airplane with an operating room inside that came to her city and made the blind people see again. Fairy tale. Or so I thought. This week, I found myself standing inside that airplane, volunteering as an associate ophthalmologist for ORBIS. I've been on medical service trips before – Dominican Republic, Ghana, Bolivia, Haiti, Chile, South Africa– but the ORBIS experience is distinct in several ways.
On other trips, we would arrive with hundreds of pounds of medication and equipment in duffel bags, then screen and treat hundreds of people each day. Every time, the same question haunted me: "What happens after we're gone?" With ORBIS, an in-country doctor has been caring for the patients before we arrive, and continues to provide care after the plane flies away.
The purpose of and ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital program is not to perform as many cases as possible, but to teach new skills and stronger techniques to the local doctors and nurses so that they can continue the work for years to come.
For example, on Monday during the screening for children with strabismus (misaligned eyes), I met a local provider we'll call Dr Z. He had been doing some straightforward strabismus surgeries, but was not comfortable with his ability to do more complicated cases. His eagerness to improve was striking. By Tuesday, he was sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with the ORBIS surgeon in the OR. By Thursday, he was operating confidently on complex cases. By Friday, he was planning when and how to arrange surgeries for his own patients. ORBIS treated 8 strabismic children during my week in Ethiopia. Dr. Z will hopefully treat thousands.

Arizona Cardinals
Nate Potter: 'Every NFL game is a learning experience'
The move shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, as Potter came in early against Green Bay and held his own against Clay Matthews and the Packers' formidable pass rush.
Entering the Cardinals' lineup during a five-game losing streak, the former All-American out of Boise State will look to cement himself at the starting spot but knows he just has to concentrate on the task at hand.
"I'm just focused on doing my job. As an O-lineman you kind of want to be out of the spotlight," Potter told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf. "You don't want your name to be called because it's probably for a bad reason. So, my focus is on preparing for the game and trying to do what I got to do."
Potter went on to say he's taken advantage of the veterans surrounding him at practice to help get past the mental barriers that come with an NFL game.
"I learned I've still got a long ways to go," said Potter. "I learned about the importance of mental preparation and how that plays into the game. But, this is the NFL so every game is going to be a learning experience with new schemes, new people. So you've got to be ready for anything."
With the responsibility of facing a premiere pass rusher every week, Potter stressed the mental preparation that comes with being a left tackle is just as important as being physically ready.
"It's a huge side of football. It's a football intelligence part and it's all the things that go into it before the snap," said Potter. "I've still got to focus on that, got to be ready for that and make sure by game time, I eliminate those mental errors."

Zumba music is an integral part of Zumba. It is music that motivates you the most in Zumba classes. Zumba music is so sizzling, toe tapping, hip hinging that it not only guides the moves but also puts the people listening to the music into a great & uplifted mood. This music is very encompassing. Now you can easily enjoy your favorite Zumba music with the Zumba CD. (Scroll down for a full list of recommended Cd's)
If you enjoy rocking out to the Zumba music during class, then I definitely recommend getting a Zumba cd for home, turn it on while cleaning to burn even more calories. My favorite is listening to my Zumba music while driving, makes traffic a lot more fun!
Here is a list of favorite Zumba Cd's, these all link direct to Amazon (as they usually offer the best pricing and can be downloaded for iTunes as well as any other MP3 player)

Generally a Zumba program involves 2-3 warm-up songs with 7-10 actual workout songs & 1-2 cool down songs. This data is not precise & can be altered according to the length of the songs. It is usually recommended to use 70% of Latin rhythms while 30% of any other type of music chosen by your Zumba instructor. Many different music styles like cumbia, salsa, tango, rumba, mambo, salsa, calypso, and even Rock & Roll are nowadays included in a Zumba program. You can select any Zumba CD for you from a large collection available like "Vibe Tribe" & "Party Nation". The Exhilerate 1 & Exhilerate 2 are the latest Zumba CD that contains the Latin rhythms with music for Belly Dancing, Hip Hop & Tango. The songs on these CD's are sexy & fun, which can definitely help keep you in a great mood!
The Zumba music & workout routines are individually set by the Zumba instructors. You can get the Zumba music either from the Amazon, iTunes Store or from other music downloading sites. But if your instructor is from a Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN) then your instructor will get different Zumba CD or choreography every month. Your Zumba CD gives you the mesmerizing Zumba music while you can also get the steps of each Zumba song by the Zumba choreographed DVDs. Song selection is completely in the hands of your instructor. He or she can even take some ideas and tips from these DVDs for their classes. Being in a Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN) means all your requirements will be fulfilled.
For people who are new to Zumba exercises as well as for the active older adults, Zumba Gold class programs are there. The music used for Zumba Gold is sometimes the same as regular Zumba programs. The Gold music Zumba CD is also available for the people who get involved in a Zumba Gold Workshop. Generally the Gold music Zumba CD includes the following forms like C'mon and Dance (Merengue); Cabo de la Vela (Salsa Cha Cha); Zumba Cumbia (Cumbia); Ya Llego (Salsa); El Twist de la Munequita (Rock 'n Roll). Muevete Pa Ca Muevete Pa lla and Quien Balia, Quien Goza are used as warm ups while Mi Ritmo and Aromuzak are used as cool downs. The Zumba Gold involves the slower beat & transitional moves.
If you would like the Zumba CD check out the Zumba Music Store.

It's the largest city between Miami and Tampa, but a new report points out that Cape Coral lacks many amenities that allow a city thrive. A new scathing report lists several deficiencies - everything from limited public transportation to commercial development.
On a typical day, you can find Donald Greenspun and his wife at a Cape Coral bus transfer station, waiting for a ride.
"It's annoying because there's no direct route to any place," Greenspun said.
The hours kind of stink too, he says.
"I like to stay out until 10, 10:30, 11 or 12 and we have no method of getting home," Greenspun said.
And complaints like those ended up in a new 130-page report.
The comprehensive plan was put together by the Cape Coral's Division of Planning and Growth Management.
Other key issues identified in the report include a lack of city utilities, no direct access to I-75 and Southwest Florida International Airport, a need for more commercial development along the canal system and lack luster nightlife.
The Planning and Zoning Commission spent three-hours grilling city planners over the report. Chairwoman Patti Martin called on staff to come up with solutions.
"So many issues, quality of life being among the most important and of course economic development," she said.
Greenspun says he hopes the city acts fast in implementing some of the report's recommendations. But like waiting for the bus, he expects it will be a long road ahead.
So where do we go from here?
The Planning and Zoning Commission will set up a series of special workshops during its next meeting two weeks from today.
Based on comments made at those meetings, city planners will make changes to the comprehensive plan.
The Planning and Zoning Commission will make those recommendations to city council. Then it will be up to council to take any action.
