Green Bay Packers wide out Jordy Nelson is expected to play in this Sunday's divisional game versus the Detroit Lions. The Packers receiver was limited in practice this week but was listed as probable on the team's injury report.
He has been bothered with hamstring and foot ailments, but should be expected to go in Week 11 versus the Lions.
Fantasy Analysis: Nelson is expected to play but there is a question of just how effective he will actually be. He is a favorite target of QB Aaron Rodgers, but if Nelson is slowed and their timing is off, his stats could suffer.
Regardless, if Nelson starts as expected, he is a must-start in all fantasy leagues. He is too dynamic a playmaker to leave out of your lineup. And with Greg Jennings still sidelined, he is the most reliable target for Rodgers.
For more fantasy info, head over to the SB Nation Fantasy War Room 4-8:30 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. Check out SB Nation's own Fantasy Football game, Pick 6!

Twitter Launches New Interest Targeting Advertising
Posted on September 8th 2012
Twitter recently announced that it is taking its advertising to a new level – it will allow advertisers to target Promoted Tweets and Promoted Accounts to a set of interests that advertisers can specifically choose. Twitter says that by targeting people's topical interests, advertisers will be able to connect with a greater number of users and deliver tailored messages to people who are more likely to engage with advertisers' Tweets.
There are two methods of using Interest Targeting on Twitter. Their first method, a broader reach, allows advertisers to target more than 350 interest categories, from movies and television to style and fashion. Below is a sample of the Interest Targeting categories available on Twitter.
The second method allows advertisers to get more specific in targeting the Twitter universe, by allowing advertisers to create custom segments by including certain @usernames that are relevant to the product. Twitter says that custom segments let you reach users with similar interests to that @username's followers, but do not let you specifically target the followers of that @username. This second method allows advertisers to find users who are not followers of your brand but have similar interests.
In addition, the social platform will be lowering the minimum bid to one penny for all of their Promoted auctions. It will be interesting to see how Interest Targeting compliments Promoted Tweets and Promoted Accounts.
Danielle , this could be good for smaller businesses to brand their product or service if targeted properly.
thanks for sharing
Do you know the how much the minimim speend limit on this new program is?
The last we checked, Twitter wanted a 3 month retainer for $15K. Targeted Ads work really well on Facebook. Sure, Twitter will get you followers but not more than 25% will be active or followers who add value. On Facebook, you can target 1,000 people for .25 Cents (thats a CPM of a quarter dollar) and no minimum to spend.

Pours a clear dark copper color with a one finger head which gives way to minimal lacing. The aroma has a nice sweet malt character with a little nutty toastiness to it. The taste was of a sweet malt backbone with a hint of nuttiness to it, there is also that steam beer bite to it much like anchor steam. The mouthfeel was moderately carbonated with a nice body. The drinkability is good, its an easy drink, nothing to dislike.

Atmosphere frontman Slug and St. Louis producer DJ Crucial met in 1998, after the former performed at the Gargoyle and the latter convinced him to record a track in his parents' basement.
"I was probably drunk and really high, 'cause I was doing a lot of drinking and smoking of pot back then," remembers Minneapolis heartthrob Slug. "That was one of the first times I ever collaborated with somebody I didn't know, and it definitely left a good impression on me. Because of how polite he was, it made me more open-minded to meeting new people. Prior to that, man, I didn't trust anybody."
While psyched about the compliment, Crucial disputes one key fact.
"Nobody was drunk at the time," he says. "It was in the morning, the day after the show. We picked them up and met at my parents' house, where I was living at the time. We had doughnuts and orange juice."
Perhaps because he doesn't imbibe or smoke, the 30-year-old Crucial real name Robert Fulstone has a long memory. Today, on a thawing late-March afternoon in his Skinker-DeBaliviere house, he's setting the record straight on his first album, Test Presses and Dub Plates. Eight years in the making, Test Pressesshowcases a slew of underground rap heroes: Slug, gangsta-rap pioneer MC Eiht, Chicago freestyle king Juice, and collaborators-turned-enemies MF Grimm and MF Doom all contribute songs. Gang Starr's DJ Premier voices the intro.
Other featured artists on the album Hi-Fidel, Serengeti, Nato Caliph, Committee and Altered St8s form the starting lineup for F5 Records, the label Crucial founded in 1997, three years after getting his start as a DJ at Ladue High School.
Back in those days, Crucial was blasting Compton's Most Wanted from his Jeep Cherokee while driving to school, dreaming of working with Eiht, the group's standout emcee. Fast forward to 2004. Eiht's been booked at the Science, the stubbornly anachronistic Blueberry Hill party where Crucial and his wife, DJ Agile One, spin tributes to rap's pioneers and traditionalists.
Crucial immediately sends Eiht's people some tracks and a collaboration plea. For weeks, no response. "I was really nervous, like, 'Is he going to call me? Does he not like my records?'" the producer remembers. "Finally I got the call."
But on the day they were to record together, the LA camp's plane was late, making them tardy for their booked studio time. So Crucial brazenly suggested Eiht lay down the track in his DeMun apartment. After being assured that the producer's equipment was up to snuff, Eiht came by and nailed "Life I Chose" in one take in Crucial's closet recording booth.
"We went to his little studio, and he was tellin' me how he releases white-label twelve-inches, that just blew me like, 'Damn, most brothers don't do that anymore,'" Eiht said in a recent interview with AllHipHop.com. "I come from that era. It was authentic to me. I just wanted to write a song looking at all his vinyl and his respect for DJing and all that, and made me wanna take it back. That's the life I chose."
Today Crucial is just about as well-known as any other St. Louis hip-hop DJ. In addition to spinning at the Science, he appears regularly at the Drunken Fish, the Delmar Lounge, Sekisui Pacific Rim and the Upstairs Lounge, supplementing his income by laying and cutting drywall. Sporting a patchy red beard and long hair, he speaks in quiet, halting tones a contrast to the urgent, sharp beats on his records, which are usually couched in soul and classic-rock samples from the late '60s and '70s.
He procured the records that inform Test Presseslargely from the collection of DJ Clockwork, who sells rare records out of his house in Olivette on an invitation-only basis. But Crucial insists that he's not a snob when it comes to vinyl DJ Premier taught him as much.
"If it sounds cool, that's all that matters," he says, pulling a Premier album from his wall of LPs and putting it onto a turntable. "This [sample] is taken from Marvin Gaye's In Our Lifetime. You see this record everywhere for, like, a dollar. You think it's so common, but it's just so dope."
Premier, another of Crucial's boyhood heroes, used the producer's equipment when he played the Science last year. "He was yelling the whole time," Crucial remembers. "'Before there was hip-hop there was this.' And then he'd put on the Clash. He just kept saying, 'You gotta work hard in hip-hop.'"
The yelling may have been inspirational, but it prohibited Premier from doing a promised extended intro for "Life I Chose." He was so hoarse after the show that he only managed to mumble the few sentences that now open Test Presses.
Initially resigned to holding it down as a party DJ, Crucial first tinkered with a four-track at the urging of friend and producer Kenautis Smith while studying radio and television at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. A result of that experimentation: the music from Luniz's "I Got 5 on It" combined with Redman and Method Man's lyrics from "How High," a mix that popularized Crucial's name on campus.

What are the lasting effects of chefs who lash out at critics?
No one looks great here.
Not when there are so many other great places to go instead.
Chef Sotohiro Kosugi's alleged meltdown resulted in a dumb Yelp review.
And why is it so hard for you tell whether we want to be hit on?
Hedi Slimane didn't recognize Him as a deity. Thus, He rants.
"Needless to say, Oliver sticks in my craw and I'd walk a cunty mile to avoid him and all his works."
They lead to abortion somehow, too.
Blue meanies.
He references Jeffrey Dahmer a lot.
Restaurants are better than ever, but menus are still terrible. Here's how to fix them.
The Naked Chef wears his heart on his sleeve, despite having no apparent shirt.
She's moving to New York, naturally.
But he won't explicitly identify the East 40s sushi bar that has a no-tip policy.
"Fucking bitch" also shot a video.
Just make sure it's not at a non-prestigious destination.

In several states, market shares of individual insurers have shifted significantly compared to the individual market prior to the ACA, pointing to the potential for greater price competition in the future and the influence of new entrants to the market.Issue Brief Read More

National Survey Finds 10.6 Million People Helped By Navigators and Assisters During the Affordable Care Act's First Open Enrollment Period
An estimated 10.6 million people nationally received personal help from navigators and assisters during the Affordable Care Act's first open enrollment period, finds a new Kaiser Family Foundation survey of navigators and assister programs nationally. The survey estimates that the 4,400 assister programs operating nationally had an estimated 28,000 full-time staff and volunteers, suggesting each assister would have helped more than 370 people on average during the six-month open enrollment period that ran from October 1 through March 31.News Release Read More

Explaining Health Care Reform: Medical Loss Ratio (MLR)
This fact sheet explains the Medical Loss Ratio requirement under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The MLR provision limits the portion of premium dollars health insurers may spend on administration, marketing, and profits. Under health care reform, health insurers must publicly report the portion of premium dollars spent on health care and quality improvement and other activities in each state they operate. Insurers failing to meet the applicable standard must pay rebates to consumers and businesses.Fact Sheet Read More

Jail for East Lancs thug who broke non-molestation order and punched his ex
10:00am Tuesday 24th June 2014 in News By Wendy Barlow, Court reporter
A THUG who flouted a non-molestation order and gave his ex-partner a black eye, has been locked up for 15 months.
James French, 25, had smashed his way into the Burnley home of victim Jennifer Marsden by breaking a window, days after the attack.
He claimed to the police she had had a black eye when he saw her that day.
French, who has also been the subject of a restraining order banning contact with the victim, has more than 80 offences on his record and has been violent towards Ms Marsden.
She took out the non-molestation order while he was behind bars.
The court heard French had 82 previous offences on his record, 17 against people.
The defendant, of Claremont Road, Accrington, had admitted breaching the order, assault and damage and had been committed for sentence by Pennine magistrates.
Sarah Johnson, prosecuting, said Ms Marsden was caused immediate pain when she was assaulted on May 15, ran away and was away from her home address from that point.
Police were contacted by one of her neighbours, who had seen the defendant break a window and climb into her house.
An officer went to the back of the property and saw a window had been smashed and covered up with a towel.
The officer went to the front, knocked on the door, the defendant answered and tried to shut the officer out. He had a cut on his head and leg from climbing through the window.
Miss Johnson said the defendant was taken into custody and denied the assault.
He claimed he and the victim had resumed their relationship and had been staying together at weekends at his dad's house in Accrington.
His father said French had been living at the address, but the victim had not. Ms Marsden returned to her home on May 21, to discover the damage. She noticed items had been moved.
Miss Johnson told the hearing the defendant had previous offences of violence against the victim and had received custody.

Had to order a funky size (8x8) for my office. This rug is awesome!! The colors are fab and it is a nice, thick wool rug. My co-workers thought it looked great too....they told me it's such a quality rug that it will be here longer than I will!!
This square size was perfect for where we wanted it, under the dining room table. I am quite happy with the rug except I wish the beige color was a bit lighter.
The rugs are really warm and a great value. The neutral color fits with our decor spendidly.
Bought this for my living room. Couldn't be more pleased.
Beautiful rug, colors true to online picture. Much higher quality (especially for the price!) than I could find shopping in town. The backing is soft cotton- perfect for my newly refinished hardwoods! The ONLY problem is... it does shed. But, so does every other wool item I've ever had. I've vacuumed it 6 times so far and it fills up my Dyson each time, though it does seem to be diminishing over time. I still love the rug, and am enjoying it. But, I notice the small wool debris when I sit on it while wearing black pants.

More than ever, recruiting and retaining employees is critical to business success. Management today has come to recognize the HR function as a key strategic component and contributor to the bottom line. You can further explore all of PwC's publications covering current business issues and industry trends.
PwC's report, building on a survey of more than 370 business leaders and interviews from across the region, confirms the necessity of regional cooperation for our companies' futures.
Technology company CEOs are changing their approach to talent management and retention because they foresee the available qualified talent pool shrinking. Each company must approach talent management that supports its corporate culture and aligns with business objectives.
Talent continues to top the list of executive concerns. Company leaders are focusing on how talent can help them achieve the following four strategic priorities: power growth, realize ROI, manage risk, and enable transformation.
In this edition of 10Minutes we talk to leading edge companies about what is driving new mobility patterns and their current talent mobility practices, both from a short and long-term strategy perspective.
According to PwC's annual survey of global CEOs, an inability to find enough skilled talent is the number one concern of business executives around the world.
As Asia Pacific economies continue their rapid growth and become more deeply integrated, multinational companies are changing how they're expanding in the region for the long-haul--from setting up regional hubs and distribution networks, to developing local talent, to building brand loyalty amongst the region's rapidly growing number of middle class consumers.
Employees with access to flexible work arrangements (FWAs) tend to be more satisfied, committed and engaged with their jobs, which leads to increased innovation, quality, productivity, and growth.
In this short report, PwC discusses new governance regulations, new risks, and issues of executive compensation and succession planning.

Two failed Torugart Pass-crossing attempts later and two expiring-today visas in hand, we have resignedly bitten the pricey bullet. This means hiring a vehicle both to carry us and the bike over the icy snow to the China border as well as hiring another to meet us at the top to take us down the other side into China itself. Dave's stomach relaxes as we get the bike safely off the Kyrgyz van, bidding farewell to that gonzo Kyrgyz driver.
The scenery on top of the Torugart pass is otherworldly. Ominous gray clouds part for brief moments to show a crescent of teeny tantalizing snowy peaks to our left. In cahoots with the brusque rigid Chinese guard barking orders to put that camera away, the clouds end photographic temptation by suddenly descending in a dark shroud almost to the feet of the guard himself. He certainly seems to consider himself worthy of worship, or at least a world above the rest of us. This slim guard who can't be more than 20 is displaying every stereotype of small-guy syndrome by hollering at anyone within whispering distance in an overly big, aggressive voice. He blusters at Dave to move the bike, then once Dave has moved it hollers all over again to move it somewhere else. It's pretty funny if you can distance yourself from how irritating he is.
The truck from China is late, so we stand around shivering as the clouds start shedding snow. There's what looks like a waiting room in a brick building to the side, but heaven forbid we go in--veins in Bluster Guy's neck start popping as Erika peers inside. There's a truck about a quarter mile down the hill--is that the one coming for us? The truck's residents start unloading some wood onto the road. Maybe they're making room for the bike. That is taking about half an hour. Now they're turning around and going back. Ah, finally, another truck is heading our way. A Western-dressed young guy hops out along with the driver. Bluster Guy hollers at them to move the truck this way and that. Dave's heart sinks as he notices how high the truck bed is and wonders how the bike will be lifted on. 250 kilos of bike takes at least 5 strong people to lift and B.G. is refusing to let any guards help unless we produce dollars or cigarettes. The local truck drivers don't need any bribery; with their free assistance the bike is finally loaded and strapped down on the open truckbed.
Then we're in the minimally-warmer cab with Iskander, our friendly English-speaking guide, and the driver, whose name neither we nor Iskander can figure out. In order to enter China with the bike, we are required to have the services of a paid guide for the three travel days out of our two week visa en route to Pakistan; during the time spent in the big city we can go out on our own unescorted.
Iskander is Uyghur, an ethnic minority of Moslem Chinese which predominates in most of Xinjiang Province and whose people clearly stand out from the majority Han Chinese. Women in Kashgar wear headscarves in the tradition of Islam, along with a unique fashion statement consisting of socks in varying shapes and sizes under their beige stockings. The language is also quite different from Mandarin or Cantonese which we've often heard spoken by people of Chinese descent in California. Han Chinese apparently hold most of the better jobs.
Miles of snow and ice on the road validate the expense of hiring this truck. The disadvantage is that photography of the stark surroundings has to be done through a dirty cracked window glass. The advantage (as far as Erika's concerned) is...everything else. It's (almost) WARM in here! We're in a TRUCK, not on a bike freezing our hindquarters off as a torrent of hail starts coming down. The pellets hitting the metal truck roof sound like gunfire. One could suggest, for dramatic effect, that they are the size of oranges but to the poor farmers in their little open carts they look painful and dangerous enough being the size of large peas. The hail goes on for an amazing hour or more, reducing the surprisingly good paved highway to a rumbly skidding stretch of icy gravel. No matter, we're in a TRUCK.
Now we must stop at a cavernous, modern customs station. Maybe it will be warm in here. Warmth, it seems, would be a sissy thing. Customs officials have flung open every door and window in order to prevent stiff-backed employees from cuddling up in blankets, wiggling their toes and eating chocolate. Iskander efficiently takes care of all the paperwork. Erika can hardly wait to get back into the truck.
The paperwork for getting into China with a motorcycle is considerably more complicated than most countries which freely allow temporary import of a vehicle. Legal requirements include having a Chinese driver's license, a Chinese registration for the bike, and an accompanying guide. The Carnet, which allows one to temporarily import a bike into many other countries, is not recognized in China. Fulfilling the above requirements on our own would involve extensive entanglement with the cumbersome Chinese bureaucracy, so we have chosen to utilize the services of Caravan Cafe, a Chinese travel agency in Kashgar. This service does not come cheap; however, virtually no one has been able to cross into China with their vehicle independently. With the necessary documents, not to mention Iskander's knowledge of Mandarin, the customs procedure is a breeze.
Homes are similar to those in the Kyrgyzstan countryside, mud compounds with small windows and imagined courtyards. Yet more hail continues to barrel down for another half hour before finally letting up. As soon as the hail stops, people start coming out of hiding. Soon an endless stream of children bicycling back home after a long day at school greets the eye. Bursts of red clothing streak the wet dark brown earthen homes crimson under glistening stands of drenched autumn poplars.
Something has changed however, since crossing from Kyrgyzstan. The dirt road from the border has been smooth and in excellent condition; it has now turned into the best paved road we've seen since Western Europe. There are signs on the road too, although of course they are written in indecipherable Chinese characters. China seems to have the highest level of infrastructure we've encountered since Turkey. Traffic moves in a smooth, orderly manner. No one seems to be drunk on the road. Iskander tells us to buckle our seat belts at an upcoming police checkpoint. Are the police really that serious about seat belt enforcement? asks Dave. With a serious look, Iskander answers, "yes". Looks like we're not in Central Asia any more...
Suddenly the major city of Kashgar appears in the distance. Blocky buildings line the streets. Neon signs and vivid billboards abound.
People are buzzing about on miniature motorcycles alongside belching buses, bicycles and donkey carts. Old and new reside in separate parts of town here but everyone comes together on the road.
We pull into the famously named Hotel Seman, a sprawling compound with neatly blue-uniformed floor attendants, travel agents, (closed) restaurants and internet. Iskander gets us a cheaper rate on a huge fancy room with a big hard bed decorated in ornate pastel Uyghur style. It's like sleeping on a concrete block under silk bedcovers surrounded by walls covered in Easter-cake frosting. Erika quite likes it.
The city's food options raise our deprived stomachs' low roar to the decibel of a bloodthirsty crowd. Iskander knows of a really good restaurant. It's in a modern 5 story hotel complex and boasts huge elegantly set round tables on one floor with two levels of private rooms available as well. Though apparently food prices are the same no matter where you sit, we'd feel a little silly sitting with Iskander at a huge round table for 12 in a room designed elaborately enough to host diplomats. A simpler (12 seat) table downstairs will do. Seated with big gaps between us around the yawning table, it's like being three remaining teeth in an open mouth after all the other cuspids have fallen out. Nonetheless, it's heaven to see a refrigerator case full of potential dinner presentations as there is no English menu. (As far as we can tell there are only 2 open restaurants in Kashgar with English menus--despite its modern buzz and acclaimed old city it doesn't seem much interested in accomodating traveller language differences.) We point to some pot-sticker-looking things and some pasta-like-array while Iskander describes the ingredients for Singapore Rice Stick, Dave's favorite dish. Not too much later the dishes materialize, with Yummy Added Dimensions. The plump dumplings are embedded in a sea of egg omelet studded with attractive greenery, the pasta is frolicking with bamboo shoots and meaty fish tails in a big broth lake, and the Singapore Rice Stick is just about as good as Singapore Rice Stick back in San Francisco. No tears are being shed for the lack of dry bread and mutton lard.
The next day we walk through the broad bustling streets with their abundance of western clothing stores and a few fast food joints. Mao directs a performance of pink-frilled little girls in the main city square and they respond in kind.
Destination: Bank Of China, the only place in town that will allegedly change travellers checks. Erika is thwarted in her efforts to use the ATM as Foreign Cards Are Not Accepted. As usual we arrive at the bank just as it's closing for a 1 1/2 hour lunch break. As usual Dave gets irate over 1 1/2 hour lunch breaks. He heads back for the hotel while Erika heads into Kashgar's Old City.
How cool is this, totally uncorrupted by tourist stalls or tourists at all (besides you-know-who pretending she isn't one). People go about their business in the narrow old streets, cobbling shoes, baking bread, selling fruit, patching tree-grown tires.
Erika has the usual mixed feelings about snapping pictures which simultaneously honor and preserve peoples' unique visages while transforming them into photogenic blog oddities.
Not to mention how snapping photos is Such A Tourist Thing To Do.
Sometimes these thoughts do make her pass up A Great Photo Opportunity because it just feels too objectifying and invasive. No one around here seems concerned about being objectified, however, so the camera is put to good use.
Hours seem to have passed and suddenly Erika is worried that the bank has closed and we're now yuan-less. She rushes back to the bank to discover that it's just barely re-opening after lunchbreak--only 45 minutes have gone by. Talk about being all-encompassingly swept up in another world. Banking gets done. More mysterious hustle bustle on the walk home outside the Old City.
There is a mosque, some surprising old architecture, and more vendors in a square which had apparently been part of the old city but was torn down for a slightly more modern look. Later we have another great dinner at the yummy restaurant with fantastically metamorphosizing refrigerated food plates.
Though our room is a beautiful splurge it fulfils the typical ironic disappointment of boasting neither heat nor hot water along with a rock-hard bed and pillows. Time to trade down to a cheaper room in the same hotel, which though relatively grimy does leak out some warm water dribbles from the tap. The new room turns out to perch almost on top of a woeful Karaoke bar, where off-notes of remarkably ghastly singers wind like tentacles through our restless dreams.
After nice lukewarm showers we set out the next day to meet the guy who organized all the expensive elaborate paperwork required by the Chinese bureaucracy to enter the country with a motorcycle, not to mention the truck that saved us from snow and hail on the way in. (The only good thing about all this rigamarole, by the way, is that Dave proudly posesses a Chinese license plate and driver's license.) Greg, an American, owns Caravan Cafe and has done a great job of procuring the necessary stuff. Caravan Cafe is both an online travel service specializing in Central Asia and a real life cafe in Kashgar which, though just closed for the season, provides Erika with a cup of the first real coffee in quite some time. We are meeting to arrange yet ANOTHER (pricey) truck to haul the bike over the Khunjerab Pass into Pakistan the following week, once again unsure if the weather will warrant the added expense but having had enough bad luck with weather and passes that the truck seems warranted.
Dave enlists Iskander's help to procure a new battery, making obsolete once and for all the daily push starts demanded by the motorcycle throughout Kyrgyzstan. Erika walks around some more, eating hot baked yams and checking out the scene.
Our short lived joy over the delectable food is cut cruelly short when both of us come down with bad stomachs in the next few days. The first night Erika is sick so Dave has dinner with some more bicyclists who share his love of travel and beer. The second night Dave is sick so Erika has dinner with Stephanie and Gibi, Canadians who are bicycling across Central Asia and beyond.
Dave is bummed to be lacking any energy for visiting the famous Sunday Market, but Erika sets off for the long walk across town. The market takes place for what seems like many square kilometers, not in the oldest part of town but oozing character nonetheless. People transport their wares however they can
and display them however they like.
Almost everyone seems to be Uyghur. As in the old town, people seem neither interested in nor disinterested in the differentness which is Erika. This anonymity suits her perfectly.
An hour or so of wandering is enough for some people.
Time to head back to the hotel. En route she stumbles across the canal area where the farmers and country people have parked their vehicles. Though hundreds of yard-long protrusions standing at parallel attention look like militia about to charge, they're really nothing more than the prows of dozens and hundreds of donkey carts wedged side to side.
Dave is still feeling poorly, but the next day he rallies enough for a walk around the old town (which now for some reason is almost abandoned) and a stop at Caravan Cafe to wave good-bye to another chunk o' cash for the Pakistan backup truck. Logistics entail that tomorrow when we set off from Kashgar towards the cold frontier town of Tashkurgan, the truck will follow in case we need delivery from inclement weather and road conditions. Dave has been checking the forecast in every possible way (internet, Greg, other travellers, fortune tellers, snake charmers, etc.) to somehow reassure himself that at least THIS time a pass will be conquered ON THE MOTORCYCLE. But Tuesday dawns gray and rainy--which means there will be snow at the pass. At least we can BEGIN the last leg in China on the bike. An hour into the trip we reach Karakul Lake, rumored to be surrounded by spectacular mountain peaks. But you can barely see the low hills on the lake's far side.
Dave looks down at the bike's thermometer: it registers 32 degrees. On cue, snow begins falling. We agree to abandon bike for the truck at the upcoming security stop. The guards here are far more accomodating than Bluster Guy and the bike's on board in no time. Dave's getting to be quite an inadvertent expert at bike-to-truck-in-bad-weather-loading.
Scenery's stark and dramatic even before we catch a few glimpses of some of the lower pyramid peaks.
After some time we arrive in the stark frontier town of Tashgurgan. Iskander gets us a very fine, very cheap room at the Traffic Hotel. There are no lights on in the lobby, and the hallways are as dark and cold as the great outdoors. Our room, however, has what is supposedly the only heater in the place. This provides erratic bits of warmth during the night until morning brings a flash of smoke and the heater's last sputter. Uh, we didn't see anything.
Tashkurgan has a long long main street with a few hotels and restaurants and one small cross street with a few more places of commerce. Loudspeakers blast what Iskander says is political propaganda from high posts at the streets's crossing. The propaganda follows us down to the end of the road where an older part of town descends to a river-crossed plain. In the other direction you can see big cold snowy mountains.
Up above the town are the thick crumbling walls of the abandoned ruin of a fort. From a distance it looks like a big old chocolate cake with some of the frosting peeled off. Some blog writer seems to have cake on the brain today. There's no one to be seen. It's a very cool place to wander around.
The next morning it's time to cross into Pakistan. At China Customs, another uppity righteous guard tries to show off his authority by prohibiting Iskander from standing on our side of the steps, the same spot where the moment before we'd finalized our paperwork he was sitting right next to us. Luckily we've already snapped his photo and passed over a good tip for all his help.
We're saying good-bye to Iskander here at the China customs post, but we'll be with the driver through the no-man's-land up to Pakistan. It's still plenty snowy as we drive under this gate. The gate speaks to us with its inscription, which reads:
a) "Ruiners of Chinese Hotel Heaters Will Be Prosecuted"
b) "Don't Expect Much Cake In Pakistan"
c) "Coke Adds Life!"
d) _____(insert actual meaning here if you can read this sign)
Trucks coming in from Pakistan block the road near the summit of the Khunjerab Pass, at 4733 meters (15,777 feet) the highest international border crossing in the world.
Everyone has to rearrange for our truck to pass by, a rather time consuming procedure with all that ice. Soon we will be heading over the last of the snow and bidding farewell to the driver. Then finally we'll be back on the bike, heading down into Pakistan on the Karakoram Highway.

Save Gas and Money With Proven Techniques
Saving gas has become more than a nice way to economize; it has become a top priority with prices of gasoline and greenhouse emissions being what they are.
As someone who managed multiple gas stations and a mobile filling station for one of the largest oil companies in the world, and as an ASE certified owner of an auto repair shop, I heard nearly every question on how to save gas and money you could possibly imagine. More importantly, I learned what works and what doesn't.
1. Does filling in the morning truly save gas?
Absolutely! Gas expands and contracts with temperature level modifications. A tank sometimeses reveal 20 gallons of fuel in the morning, have actually some gasoline taken out, but still show the very same level of gas in the afternoon! Right here's the thing; gas is offered by volume, so one gallon of cold gas will certainly provide the mileage of possibly 1.1 gallons of warm gas (by way of example), but you're spending for simply one gallon! Leave your home a little early and fill your tank up in the early morning when it's the coolest. And, obviously, look for the most affordable rates at REPUTABLE filling stations. A clean exterior typically implies clean fuel.
2. Does topping off the tank more commonly when rates are increasing save gas and cash?
Exactly what it does is save money ON gas. This might be hard to understand, but here goes: When assessing any stock that you are depleting, you wish to take into account the cost of replacing that stock. Suppose you utilize a gallon a day, you have a 22 gallon tank, and prices increase approximately one cent a day. Hopefully you're never letting the tank get lower than the last 2 gallons, so you go twenty gallons between refills. If you wait the complete twenty days to fill, you will spend 20 cents more per gallon, equating to an extra $4.00. But, if you 'd been complementing every day, rather of 20 cents more for each gallon you will certainly have paid one cent additional the very first day, 2 cents additional the second day, etc., till at the end of the same twenty-day duration you find that you've invested only $2.10 extra FOR THE VERY SAME QUANTITY OF GAS! That could not seem like much, but increase that out for the year and it …

On the show this weekend we played one of Tim Heidecker's satiric songs about Herman Cain - a frontrunner in the race to be the Republican candidate for President. The song is part of a charity album the comic wrote. Heidecker says someone from the Cain camp has asked him to take down the songs. Here's the track we played.

WASHINGTON—The Obama administration on Tuesday backed a proposal to spend up to $6 billion more on subsidies for electric vehicles, amid renewed interest on Capitol Hill in measures to cut petroleum consumption in response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
The proposals include more spending for research and development of car-battery technology, aid to utilities and homeowners to build recharging outlets, and consumer tax credits to offset the higher costs of battery-electric vehicles.
A bill drafted by Sens. Byron Dorgan (D., N.D.), Lamar Alexander (R., Tenn.) and Jeff Alan Merkley (D., Ore.) calls for the additional spending, and includes a provision that would establish up to 15 "development" communities to receive funds for infrastructure and other programs for plug-ins.
The auto industry has sought more federal spending for electric cars, such as the coming Chevrolet Volt. Bloomberg News
"The rest of the world is moving up quickly on this technology," David Sandalow, the Energy Department's assistant secretary for policy and international affairs, told a Senate hearing Tuesday. "The question before us is whether the United States will lead in this technology."
The proposal has drawn criticism from auto makers, which worry that it focuses on electric vehicles at the expense of other alternative technologies, and from Republicans who cite the need to cut government spending.
Democrats may seek to attach the legislation to an energy bill that could be taken up later this year, Sen. Dorgan said in an interview.
Joe White discusses the decision by a federal judge to overturn the Obama Administration's moratorium on new deep-water drilling.
The federal government has already spent billions of dollars to spur the development of plug-in cars, including funds from a $25 billion program to help auto makers retool plants, $2.4 billion in stimulus money for battery development and other projects, and a $7,500 consumer tax credit for electric-car purchases.
The auto industry has lobbied for more programs out of concern that consumers will balk at the high prices of plug-ins and lack of charging stations.

FedEx Chief Executive Fred Smith, who also serves as co-chairman of the Energy Security Leadership Council, told the panel that the government should help auto makers sell enough electric vehicles to bring down their price. He said companies such as his are heavily reliant on foreign oil, and vulnerable to wide swings in petroleum prices. "The environmental catastrophe unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico is making clear once again yet another aspect of the danger posed by our dependence," he said.
But the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, the car makers' main lobbying group, criticized the bill from Sens. Dorgan, Alexander and Merkley for leaving out potentially promising technologies such as fuel cells.
The group also criticized a provision that would establish five to 15 communities that would receive much of the funding to build an electric-car infrastructure, saying a nationwide approach is needed.
Some senators on the panel said the bill would fall short of ensuring the success of plug-ins, contending much more spending is needed if plug-ins are to avoid the fate of other technologies that have challenged petroleum-fueled internal combustion engines, which enjoy significant advantages in cost, reliability and range compared to the available alternatives.
Others, including Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, the Energy Committee's ranking Republican, questioned why the bill was tailored to favor one type of technology. She said that the Clinton administration had programs to promote diesel hybrids and the Bush administration encouraged fuel-cell vehicles.
"I'm as hopeful as anyone that electric vehicles are here to stay. But the truth is that Washington has a dismal record of picking winners and losers," she said.

In the post-Moneyball era, there are lots of paths to becoming a general manager. You can work your way up through a major league organization, all the while gaining valuable experience in all facets of the job, including scouting and advanced statistical analysis.
Or you can do what Jack Zduriencik did:
"Jack portrayed himself as a scouting/stats hybrid because that's what he needed to get the job," Blengino said. "But Jack never has understood one iota about statistical analysis. To this day, he evaluates hitters by homers, RBI and batting average and pitchers by wins and ERA. Statistical analysis was foreign to him. But he knew he needed it to get in the door."
Look, we all lie on our resumés. I told Rob I wrote for Sports Illustrated in the '60s under the name "Scoop" McAllister. When he found out the truth, he demoted me to "Hot Corner blogger." That was three happy years ago.
Anyway, the key to getting hired in baseball these days is to constantly use buzzwords like "analytics" and "blend" during your job interview, as in the sentence: "I will seamlessly blend traditional scouting with modern analytics." You don't have to actually believe it, and you certainly don't have to do it, you just have to pretend to believe it. And don't worry if you don't know Bill James from Bill Madlock; your prospective boss isn't going to ask you any tough questions like "What does OBP stand for?" That's a detail, and big-time CEOs don't get rich enough to own baseball teams by sweating the details.
Having zero knowledge of statistical analysis but lying and saying that you do is the new market inefficiency. http://t.co/I6IhcwUh9l #6org

Penn State Law Review presents "Of Hope and Humility"
January 28, 2010
On Thursday, January 28, Penn State Law Review will host the next event in its Scholarly Dialogues series, which provides students with the opportunity to engage with professors concerning recent scholarship.
This dialogue will feature Victor C. Romero, Maureen B. Cavanaugh Distinguished Faculty Scholar and professor of law, as he presents his work, "Of Hope and Humility: Christian Realism, Immigration Reform, and Executive Leadership." Drawing upon President Barack Obama's admiration of Reinhold Niebuhr's work, Professor Romero's work outlines a Protestant, Christian realist approach toward immigration policy, with specific focus on the role of the executive in providing providential leadership. He discusses various aspects of such leadership, from negotiating the proper role of states and localities to the promotion of comprehensive immigration reform. Alexis Snyder, managing editor of the Penn State Law Review, will dialogue with Professor Romero about the substance of his article. A question and answer period will follow.
Everyone is cordially invited to attend this event, which will be held from 1:15 to 2:15 p.m. in room 114 (University Park) and simulcast to 114 (Carlisle). Light refreshments will be provided.
Established in 1897, Penn State Law Review is entirely student-run. Published four times annually, it serves as a vehicle for publication of scholarly articles and comments covering all aspects of law, as well as promoting scholarship by enhancing the engagement of its membership with the academic community.
This event is supported by funds from the Speakers Trust Fund of the Student Bar Association.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
styledotcom How Hermès keeps its cool: stylem.ag/YB3ahc via @Forbes pic.twitter.com/eHc5kUOiqc
Thanksgiving may be tomorrow, but Michael Roberts was thinking more ho, ho, ho than gobble gobble. Donning a fuzzy Santa hat and faux white beard, the Vanity Fair style and fashion director (and perhaps the chicest Mr. Claus we've seen) signed copies of his new children's book Snowman in Africa at Gucci's Fifth Avenue flagship last night. The multitasker debuted the first in the series, Snowman in Paradise, in 2004. The second installment came about after Gucci tapped him to create a sequel for charity. "Africa is one of my favorite places, and it just seems appropriate because it's for UNICEF," Roberts said of the sequel's storyline. Gucci will be donating 100 percent of sales from the $25 hardcover and proceeds from three original Roberts collages up for silent auction to UNICEF's Africa programs. As for the Santa outfit? "Well, I'm British, so I don't celebrate Thanksgiving. But I do love the holidays and I get to fly to London for the long weekend," he explained. The toddlers clutching the colorful storybooks in line didn't seem to mind skipping straight to Santa. Nor did the grownups, who included Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy. "Michael just has a way about making the images come alive," said Vogue's Grace Coddington. "And I think the book is for adults, too. If you read it, it's rather funny." Those who prefer fashion to storybooks need not go home empty-handed, though: Gucci is offering limited editions of its wrist wallets, coin purses, and Joy handbags featuring the whimsical illustrations in appliqué and print.

Re "Russia Strengthens hold on Crimea" (Page A1, March 3): Should the U.S. impose sanctions against Russia for its occupation of the Ukraine?
Let's pose this hypothetical: Texas secedes from the union. Years after the secession, Texas undergoes severe economic, social and political hardship and turmoil. Protesters take over the country and throw out its congress and president.
Would the U.S. government be concerned about the effect of the overthrow of Texas on U.S security, the protection of its borders, its economy?
If our president decided that sending troops to Texas was the best way to protect those interests, would he or she be acting in the interests of our country but contrary to international law? If so, should he or she bow to the threat of foreign sanctions? That's the issue Putin faces.
-- Roger Barrick, Roseville
