Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers
Anthony Robbins
Good questions are a source of inspiration (other sources could be creative people, insightful blogs and books, rousing music and exhilarating new experiences). Being inspired ALWAYS feels good; why leave it to chance. Why not be proactive in seeking inspiration. Inspired people are more creative, decisive, have higher energy and consequently they do more, achieve more and feel more fulfilled. The immediate answers to the questions posed are almost secondary in benefit. Good questions can stimulate the mind to think and question further. Prolonged unhappiness can mean you aren't properly aligned with your true desires. Questioning can identify root causes to your unhappiness and highlight the needed changes.
Here are a couple of questions about questions: Can you answer them honestly? Do the answers hurt or intimidate?
If you can answer questions truthfully, you may find insights that can lead to greater wisdom which may lead to change and the change could lead to a larger life and the larger life might give more purpose to your existence and that is the answer you were probably seeking in the first place. These are some questions posed by a Jungian analyst whom I greatly respect:
- Where has life blessed you?
- What works well in your life and what isn't working?
- Where are you blocked by fear?
- Where are you stuck?
- Where are you resistant to change, what price are you paying and is the price truly worth it?
- What ideas, habits and behavioral patterns are inhibiting you from pursuing what you desire? What are the secondary gains that keep you mired in inactivity – security, comfortable predictability, avoidance of risk?
- Where do you need to grow up and take responsibility for your life?
- Where have you felt a tinge of yearning but never pursued or investigated the feeling further.
- What are you willing to commit to (e.g. a specific long term relationship, personal growth or healthy living) ?
This isn't a test in which correct answers (as determined and agreed to by others) matter. Just jot down what first comes to your mind and see if there are any insights or wisdom that will help you move forward and grow. Learn to cultivate the art of asking good questions, it's the proper path for those seeking truth and authenticity.

Great Barrier Reef Airport
The Great Barrier Reef Airport is a busy place – in fact it is the main airport hub for the Whitsundays. While we were at the Golf Driving Range we saw two jets landing, another taking off, a seaplane landing as well as two helicopters. All in the space of about 45 minutes!
Up to six commercial flights arrive each day from Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Virgin, Jetstar and Qantas fly to Hamilton Island arriving and leaving between 10a.m. and 3p.m. daily. It is the front door to your Hamilton Island holiday.
Hamilton Island Air operates seaplanes and helicopters for Great Barrier Reef tours and transfers to Whitehaven Beach. Corporates with their own planes arrive daily. I have even heard of locals who have used small planes from Whitsunday Airport on the mainland to get their groceries home from Airlie Beach (after missing the last Fantasea ferry)!
Of course the big advantage of living on an island with its own airport is that you can wait until you actually hear the aeroplane coming in to land before leaving the house to pick-up the family.
TIP: The in-house TV station at Hamilton Island Hotels has arrival and departure information on display. You can also get this information on your phone via the Hamilton Island Mobile website if you are on the move.

What we all thought before we drafted him has come true. Apparently Cushing has been suspended 4 games for violating the NFL's steroid policy...I had grown to love Cushing but this is just killing me!
NFL suspended Texans SLB Brian Cushing four games for violating the league's steroids policy.
Source: Adam Schefter on TwitterAnalysis - We wish we could say we're surprised, but just look at the guy. Cushing will sit against Indianapolis, Washington, Dallas, and Oakland. To compensate, the Texans figure to move weak-side starter Zach Diles to "SAM" for the first month of the season, with Xavier Adibi joining the lineup. Houston's run defense is likely to take a hit. Cushing was the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2009, helping the Texans to field the NFL's No. 13 overall defense.

The soup made me do it tonight:
Buffalo 7 (69-61)
Pawtucket 6
Sowers got the start and the victory in what superficially was a good start, but in reality is a step back from his last couple of outings. When Sowers got sent down it was clear he needed to do at least two of the following three things much better; strike guys out, not walk them, keep the ball in the park. Lately he's done a good job with that, but tonight he went 6.1, gave up only 5 hits and 2 runs, but walked 2, struck out only 1, and allowed a HR. Not terrible...but not a sign of great progress. Joe Inglett was the offensive hero with 4 RBIs and a big 3B. Marte had a decent night at the plate with two singles and two walks. Mulhern (35) and Jason Cooper (25) added doubles, while Ben Francisco put in a single a walk and his 21st SB (and 7th CS). Ben's tear hasn't slowed down since his demotion, .333/.389/.529 for August coming into tonight.
Akron 4 (71-56)
Erie 7
After getting down 4 early, the Aeros rallied to tie it, only to see Reid Santos give up the lead and take the loss. Santos has actually been solid all season in Akron and is something of a bullpen sleeper for the second half of next season. Jordan Brown provided the only real excitement on offense with his 10th HR of the season in a 2-3 effort. He's now got 44 extra-base hits on the season and a very nice 52:45 BB:K ratio. Stephen Head who seemed like the wrong guy to promote to Akron from Kinston a couple of weeks ago still does. He had a double tonight, but it's only his 3rd XBH since the promotion and his .167/.186/.214 line at Akron coming into tonight is thoroughly uninspiring.
Kinston 3 (34-25, 2nd half)
Potomac 6
Steven Wright got roughed around in his start and continues to get roughed around in the Carolina League (8.76 ERA). Matt Meyer, a 22-year old lefty reliever who had been putting up a very solid season till a rough patch about a week ago, put in a solid outing tonight (2.1IP,0H,0R,0BB,4K). Matt Whitney went 1-5 on the night with 2Ks, but that one hit was his 30th HR of the season (14th with Kinston). Chris Gimenez added three hits including his 16th 2B of the season (to go along with 25 HRs). Uber-hot Josh Rodriguez went 1-3 with two walks, but added his 32nd error at shortstop for the season.
Lake County 2 (27-28, 2nd half)
Lakewood 11
Lake County got blasted by Lakewood. Adam Davis and Cirilo Cumberpatch each had three hits. Luis Valdez pitched well in relief (3IP,0H,0R,1BB,2K). Not too much else of excitement.
Mahoning Valley 7
Auburn 8 (12 innings)
GCL Indians 2
GCL Tigers 3
I'll let you sort through these games...

Notes: Cook wins Opening Day nod
Matsui fond of socks with 'foot fingers'; Corpas strikes out two
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Rockies manager Clint Hurdle informed right-hander Aaron Cook that he will start against the Diamondbacks in the season opener, April 2 at Coors Field. Then Cook pitched as if Opening Day were here already.Cook threw 5 1/3 shutout innings Saturday, forced 12 ground-ball outs and gave up two hits in the Rockies' 12-2 victory over the Giants at Hi Corbett Field. Afterward, he relished, as much as he'd let himself, the idea of facing the D-backs' Brandon Webb on Opening Day. "It was right before the game, but I wasn't thinking much about it," said Cook, who went 9-15 with a 4.23 ERA last season, his first full and uninjured year in the Majors. "He told me, 'I'm proud to give you the ball; you deserve it.' "I don't know if it's really set in yet. I'm kind of hoping it doesn't, because I just want to treat it like every other start -- like I've been telling you guys all year -- like one of hopefully 32 or 34 starts." Cook, 28, was beginning to establish himself in the Majors in 2004 but suffered blood clots in both lungs during a start that August. The condition led to surgery and a year missed. Now Cook has shown signs of growing into the pitcher the Rockies have wanted since they drafted him in the second round in 1996. Saturday was a window into Cook's 2007 plan. After relying on his sinker throughout his career, Cook is more dedicated to mixing a four-seam fastball, a curve and a changeup. Hurdle said Cook going with a changeup in a 2-0 count Saturday "never happened before." Pitching coach Bob Apodaca said Cook's work away from crowds has been equally impressive. "Every drill that we did out there, he wanted to be the first guy doing it," Apocaca said. "No words said, he just led by example. Every drill he did, he did to the best of his ability. It's that quiet leadership that speaks louder than the oral words." Hurdle said the Rockies have leaned toward Cook. The uncertainty surrounding left-hander Jeff Francis, who must start the appeals process of a five-game suspension he received Friday from Major League Baseball for throwing behind a batter earlier in the week, helped solidify the decision, Hurdle said. "He's worked hard, he's done everything we've asked him to do, he's battled some adversity on the field, and he's battled huge adversity off the field," Hurdle said of Cook. Twinkle toes: Second baseman Kazuo Matsui continued Saturday to work his way back from a left foot strain that has kept him off the field since Monday. The attention to his foot also has brought focus on his unusual hosiery choice.

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK & FIELD: Fast start
Winters runner on record pace; others on track for state trip
ABILENE — A trip to the Class 1A state meet and possibly some school records will be up for grabs today for West Texas athletes at the Region II-1A track meet at Abilene Christian University's Elmer Gray Stadium.
Winters' Angelica Taylor had the top qualifying times in the 100- and 300-meter hurdles Friday. She ran the 100 hurdles in 15.09 seconds and crossed the finish line in 46.19 in the 300 hurdles.
The Lady Blizzards senior also qualified for the finals in the 200 with an eighth-best time of 27.61. Crowell's Jasmine Sillemon (25.56) was the top qualifier.
The top two finishers in each event qualify for the Class 1A state meet in Austin on May 11-12.
Taylor finished fifth in the long jump with a leap of 16 feet, 9.5 inches. Meridian's Sydney Wright soared 18-11.5 to get the gold medal, and Sillemon was second at 17-10.5.
In addition to shooting for some regional gold medals today, Winters head coach Brooke Bicknell said Taylor will be trying to set school records in the two hurdles races.
The Winters school mark for the 100 hurdles is 14.87 set by Lacy Walker in 2003. Former Lady Blizzards standout Kelly Slimp set a school record of 45.28 in the 300 hurdles in 2008.
Bicknell says Taylor got off to a great start Friday.
"She had a really, really good day of running," Bicknell said. "I thought she ran real smart today.
"She's excited, and we'll be ready to go."
Garden City's Kamie Halfmann punched her ticket to the state meet with a second-place finish in the 3200-meter run. She ran a time of 12:07.63. Hamlin's Jacqueline Villareal placed first in 11:52.49.
Paint Rock's Jonathan Santiago barely missed out on making it to state in the 3200, but he had to settle for a fourth-place finish, clocking in at 10:45.10.
Texas Leadership Charter Academy's Ginnie Lee advanced to today's finals in the 100 after running a time of 13.19 seconds in Friday's prelims. But she has her work cut out for her, since the top two prelim times were under 13 seconds.
Bronte's Kimber Lee had the fifth-best qualifying time (49.04) in the 300 hurdles, but she's hoping to shave off enough time in today's finals to finish in the top two.
"They're running some pretty decent times," Lee said. "It's definitely way harder than what you see in district. It's good competition, and it's fun to run in, that's for sure."
On the boys' side, Bronte's John Deller had the fifth-best qualifying time in the 300 hurdles at 42.81.
The Longhorns' 4x200 relay team will also be running in the finals today after qualifying sixth in 1:33.79.
The meet continues today, beginning with field events at 9:30 a.m., followed by running finals at 11 a.m.

May 6, 2014 : India's home-grown automaker Mahindra has launched a new variant of the Ssangyong Rexton, the RX6 which will be added to the existing model range of Rexton as a mid-variant. The RX6 inherits the basic mechanics from the RX5 that is the entry level variant and all features from RX7 that is the top end variant. The newly launched RX6 comes with manual transmission along with host of features and is priced at Rs 19.96 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi) . The feature list includes premium leather upholstery, electrical sunroof, 8-way electrically adjustable driver's seat with memory function, automatic headlights, rain sensing wipers and intelligent 4x4 Torque on Demand (TOD) system. The RX6 is powered by 2.7-litre 5 cylinder common rail, turbo diesel engine which produces 162bhp of maximum power and 340Nm of maximum torque.
Ssangyong Rexton is a seven seater full grown SUV that is soon going to come to Indian shores. Mahindra showcased the Rexton along with a crossover, Korando, developed in association with South Korean firm Ssangyong Motors, at Auto Expo, 2012. M&M will display its Korean subsidiary's vehicles for the first time in India. Rexton will be a Sports Utility Vehicle for those who value boulder and rough driving. The former business tycoon acquired Ssangyong a year ago. In November, 2010, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) had signed a definitive agreement with Ssangyong Motor Company (SYMC) to acquire 70 per cent stake in the ailing South Korean auto maker at a total cost of USD 463 million (about Rs 2,105 crore). Mahindra & Mahindra also has utility vehicles namely XUV 500, Scorpio, Bolero and Xylo MPV in India. The car's design was styled by Giorgietto Giugiaro's Italdesign studio. The Ssangyong Rexton I was produced from 2001 to 2006. The Rexton II was released in 2006 as a replacement for the original Rexton and in the beginning of 2010; Ssangyong unveiled the upgraded 2010 Rexton or Rexton III. India will get the Rexton III. An off-roader by nature, the Rexton will be powered by a massive 2.7-litre direct-injected common rail diesel engine . This strong and muscular engine with its 5-cylinders will pull out 162bhp of power and 402Nm of torque. The power machine will be a turbocharged diesel motor and will be mated to a five-speed automatic gearbox. Even a 5-speed manual gearbox will be available as option. Both four wheel and two wheel drive versions are well anticipated with Ssangyong's SUV. The Rexton is famous in all markets for its car-like handling, decent ground clearance and impressive traction control.
Tough Rexton will be taken out of its cocoon in the grand event in New Delhi; the seven-seater SUV is expected to hit our roads in the third quarter of 2012. The SUV will be placed in luxury segment well above Mahindra XUV 500. Both of them will cater to different audience in India. Rexton will definitely come out as a world class product from Mahindra's stable. It is said that the Rexton is the combination of all of Ssangyong's off road knowledge and experience and offers one robust package, providing class leading all-weather and all-terrain transport capabilities. It uses a body-on-frame chassis and the suspension is all-independent with double wishbones up front and a multi-link setup at the rear. Rexton has quite imposing dimensions. It adorns alloy wheels, muscular fenders, tough looking hood, body color ORVMs, side steps, roof rails, chrome tipped exhaust and rear spoiler. Interiors of Rexton are completed with three rows of seats. Interior comfort features like cruise control, AC with Climate Control, Power windows, AC ducts for rear seats with separate controls, auto wipers with rain sensors, headlamp leveling device, rear window demister, steering mounted controls, rear cargo 12V outlet with front passenger 12 V outlet. Mahindra's new SUV Rexton will be loaded with safety features like Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, Enhanced Parking Brake Technology, Forward Collision Warning and Avoidance System, ABS with EBD, ESP and SRS airbags as standard equipment.
This trim is powered by a 2.7-litre XDi diesel engine that is coupled with a 5-speed manual gearbox. It displaces 2696cc that enables it to produce 162bhp at 4000rpm, while yielding 340Nm between 1800 to 3250rpm. This variant is equipped with premium fabric seat upholstery, leather wrapped steering wheel, 8-way manually adjustable driver seat, ORVMs with heating, folding and adjusting function, tilt adjustable steering column, all four power windows with driver side auto up/down function, key less entry, a cigarette lighter, 12V power outlets, removable ashtray, cup holders, rear AC vents with blower controls, reading lamps, key hole illumination, front sun visors with vanity mirror and light, front glove box illumination and premium floor mats. It also has a video function with DVD/DivX/MPEG/MPEG2 compatibility, navigation system with preloaded maps, fully automatic climate control unit, audible rear parking sensors and ultra rigid steel frame with triple layer construction. Additionally, it has anti lock braking system, dual front airbags, seat belts with pre-tensioner and load limiter, headlamp leveling system, engine immobilizer, power door lock, side impact beams, front and rear crumple zone, rear windscreen defogger, tubeless tyres and door ajar warning....
Mahindra Ssangyong Rexton RX6 is the mid variant that sits between the RX5 and RX7 variants. Apart from the features equipped in RX5, the RX6 sports premium leather upholstery, gear knob leather wrapped , 8 way electrically adjustable driver seat, automatic easy function for driver seat, day and night IRVM auto, speed sensitive steering wheel, memory function with 3 pre-sets for driver seat and ORVMs, electric sunroof with tilt/open function and sun-blind, automatic headlamps, and rain sensing wipers. While for the safety of its passengers, the SUV comes equipped with electronic stability program with off switch, anti-slip regulation, active rollover protection and side airbags. The RX6 also has features intelligent 4x4 Torque on Demand (TOD) system....
RX7 is the top of the line E-tronic automatic transmission variant. The 2.7-litre RX270 engine is tuned in way to develop a power of 184bhp and peak torque of 402Nm. Apart from the features listed in RX6, the SUV comes equipped with leather wrapped steering wheel with additional metalgrain accents, gear knob with chrome and metalgrain accents, E-tronic gearbox with sporty manual mode and winter switch, E-tronic shift buttons on steering wheels and shift position indicator, cruise control and all wheel drive system (AWD)....
Ed's Take: The Rexton has decent fuel economy on the manual. The efficiency on the auto mode isn't that bad either.
The new Mahindra Ssangyong Rexton SUV launch is round the corner and the company is making its best effort to make this one a huge success in the Indian car market. Ssangyong knows very well that Indian car consumers give a very high priority to the mileage delivered by the car. Therefore, the company has made the new Rexton SUV a fuel efficient car. Under the bonnet, you would find a 2.7 litre of turbocharged diesel engine that is capable of giving out maximum power of 165BHP along with producing maximum torque of 340 to 402NM. The five speed automatic transmission that would be coupled with the 2696cc of engine will definitely keep the mileage a bit maintained. Apparently, this combination of engine and gearbox would make the SUV to deliver mileage around 9.1 to 9.8 km per litre . This mileage figure might seem to be a bit less, but for a premium SUV Rexton, it is acceptable and not a minus point for the car.
Ed's Take: The power of the Rexton automatic is good, despite the sluggish nature of the gearbox. The manual has a new variant RX6, which isn't permanent four-wheel drive.
Mahindra Ssangyong Rexton would be first product of Ssangyong in the Indian car market and the car manufacturer is putting all its heart and soul to make it ideal for the country. The company has provided the car with a 2.7 litre of turbocharged engine, which leaves no stone unturned and push it towards an awesome delivery of performance. This 2696cc of diesel engine without any trouble gives out maximum power of 165BHP at the rate of 4000rpm along with producing crest torque of 34.6kgm at the rate of 1800 to 3250rpm. The engine will be coupled with a five speed automatic transmission. The fresh reports floating in the market suggest that a variant with five speed manual transmission could also be expected.
Ed's Take: Despite being such large in size, the Rexton has good acceleration. The drivability is decent too.
Who doesn't want to take their car to the top speed and talk with the wind? Almost everyone would like to do that and keeping this in mind, Mahindra Ssangyong has blessed the new Rexton SUV with great acceleration and pickup as well. The 2.7 litre of turbocharged engine, manages to put out good amount of power and torque and the coupling done with the five speed automatic transmission is just ideal. When accelerated, the SUV zooms away with a 181km per hour . What is more interesting here is that the car doesn't consume so much of time and reaches the 100kmph speed mark in 11.6 seconds . So one thing is for sure, if you take the Rexton out for a driver, the performance on the highways would be mesmerizing and the driving experience provided to the driver would be top-notch.
The outsides of this formidable SUV have been done up with flamboyance and the designers seem to have done an exceptional job. The complete overall structure of this massive SUV is aerodynamic with a bold and aggressive frontage. The front radiator grille is fantastic with a trendy and new design and a lot of chrome has been used in it. This grille has three vertical slats and is quite large, which has been surrounded by a big head light cluster that has been equipped with powerful high intensity eagle eye shaped projector lamps that gives a radiant view to the driver. The front body colored bumper is also styled trimly and it has been integrated with a pair of bright fog lamps, which add to the utility of the driver. This bumper also has a large air dam in between these fog lamps, which further assists in cooling the massive diesel engine behind it. The front windscreen is quite large and gives a better view to the driver and is equipped with a couple of intermittent wipers, which has an automatic rain sensing function . The side profile is smooth and lustrous with body colored external rear view mirrors, which have been integrated with side turn LED based blinkers. This latest entrant also gets sleek and trendy side mouldings with integrated chrome treatment, which makes this SUV look polished. Then the body colored door handle of all the doors are placed quite aptly and has pull type levers. The pronounced neatly carved wheel arches have been fitted with an exclusive and modish set of ten spoke, 16 inch light alloy wheels, which have been covered with robust tubeless radial tyres of size P 235/75 R16 that have a superior road grip on any terrain . This well built SUV also gets sleek side steps, which are made of stainless steel and has rubber inserts as well for a better grip that makes the entry and exit from this massive vehicle very easy.
The roof gets a pair of stylish silver colored roof rails and a panoramic sun roof that adds to the elegance and classiness of this powerfully built SUV. The roof of this well built sports utility vehicle is also fitted with a shark fin antenna to enhance the in-cabin entertainment. While the rear end gets a large wind screen that has been fitted with a rear wash and wipe function along with a defogger. The rear tail gate is quite big and the tail lamp cluster is rather large and radiant. This SUV gets 'L' shaped parking lights and a prominent Rexton emblem at the rear end as well. This latest Mahindra SsangYong Rexton SUV also gets a sporty rear spoiler, which has been fitted with a high mount stop lamp. The rear exhaust pipe is finished in chrome and adds to the elegance of the appearance of this masculine SUV. On the whole, this all new well built SUV has all the qualities of a rugged mean machine and the Indian customers are surely going to admire it. Apart from all these high class features, the all new muscular SUV also gets 'REXTON' branding on the scruff plates, which gives it a distinct look. The company is offering this powerfully built sports utility vehicle in a few vibrant and lively exterior paint options, which are making this vehicle look smooth and lustrous. The color options to choose from are an elegant looking magnificent white metallic finish, an innovative and unique opulent purple finish, an outstanding and masculine volcano black metallic finish and also subtle and refined moon dust silver.
The overall dimensions of this gigantic SUV are very spacious with a total length of 4755mm along with an overall width of 1900mm, which also includes the external rear view mirrors. Then the total height inclusive of the integrated roof rails is about 1840mm, while the roomy wheel base of this massive SUV is close to 2835mm, which is quite liberal and large. The minimum ground clearance of this SUV is 252mm, which is quite remarkable even for adventurous off road drives. On the other hand, the minimum turning radius of this mammoth SUV is 5.7 meters, which is again exceptional and makes it easier to handle this vehicle in peak traffic as well.
Ed's Take: The interiors of the Rexton has spacious and do feel premium. The plastic quality is good and the overall fit and finish is decent. The third row of seats are disappointing as there isn't any kneeroom.
The company has made the exteriors of this New Mahindra SsangYong Rexton SUV very remarkable and striking, while they have left no stone unturned in adding elegance as well as lavishness to the interiors as well. The insides of this commanding SUV are enchanting and magical and are exude luxury from all corners. To begin with the interiors are done up with a dual combination color scheme of beige and black interiors, which also have some metal grain accents and are making the insides look classy and urbane. The seating arrangement is very comfortable and lavish with well cushioned soft seats, which are covered in premium quality leather upholstery. The four spoke power steering wheel is also wrapped in leather along with the gear shift lever as well as the hand brake, which adds to the elegance of the interiors . All the seats have superior lumbar support, whereas the front two seats are adjustable and the driver seat is electrically adjustable in eight different ways and also has a memory function to store the varied sitting positions. This extremely comfortable driver seat also has adjustable lumbar support along with an automatic easy access function as well. There is also a trimly designed arm rest between the front two seats that has some storage and also assists in making the drive comfortable for the front seat occupants. The rear seat can be folded in a 60:40 way, so as to accommodate more things inside it. This SUV is quite liberal and roomy from inside and has been equipped with a powerful air conditioning unit with independent blowers for the second as well as the third row seating as well, which will further give the occupants, a very pleasurable driving experience.
The external rear view mirrors are highly developed, which can be electrically adjusted, folded and have a heating function as well. The central console also has been bestowed with a brilliant touch screen infotainment system that has quite a few different features. This rugged and masculine SUV has also been given an internal rear view mirror, which is automatically adjustable to add to the convenience of the person driving this SUV. The company has given this SUV stylish premium floor mats for the front and the rear end, while it also has a three 12 V power outlets that are dash board mounted, below the front passenger seat as well as the boot for added convenience for the passengers. This sports utility vehicle also has a lot of storage spaces such as an overhead sunglass holder, a center console armrest that has some storage as well as cup holders. Then there are storage pockets in the doors as well as behind the front seats, there is also a storage compartment under the boot floor , a mobile or MP3 holder in the dash board, an internal tailgate assist handle and also a flip up tailgate glass for easy access of the boot compartment as well. All these and many more such impressive features make this SUV, one of the best in class vehicle in the Indian car market. There is also a cigarette lighter, a removable ashtray, reading lamps in all the three rows of seats, ignition keyhole illumination, a coat hook, driver and front co-passenger sun visors with vanity mirrors and lights and the front glove box is also illuminated for better visibility in the dark.
Ed's Take: The automatic transmission has a more powerful engine. But the transmission does blunt the performance of the engine. However, overall it's a decent package and the power of the engine is at par when compared to competition. The manual RX6 is the pick of the lot.
The most important thing for any car is the engine that it has been powering the vehicle. The new Mahindra Ssangyong Rexton SUV would come endowed with a 2.7 litre of diesel engine that would have a displacement of 2696cc . The engine here would be thoroughly powerful and dynamic. So far the reports in the market suggest that engine would be able to churn out maximum power of 165BHP at the rate of 4000rpm along with producing crest torque of 34.6kgm at the rate of 1800 to 3250rpm. Apparently, this engine would not be the best performing engines available in the market today, but still it will try to deliver a good performance on road. The company has tried its best reduce the NVH (Noise, vibration and harshness), which in turn will definitely develop the performance of the car and make it better for the driver and the passengers.
Ed's Take: The Rexton comes loaded with leather seats, electrically adjustable front seats, gear controls on the steering also. It has electric sunroof, infotainment system with navigation, automatic headlamps and rain sensing wipers.
The stereo and accessories in the new Mahindra Ssangyong Rexton SUV will be decent and not a disappointment. The car will have a single CD-player with Am/FM radio and speakers. This audio system will be coming with USB, Bluetooth and Aux-In support . This would make the car quite fit and up to date on the entertainment front. According to the grapevine the SUV will also come with GPS navigation system that would not let to be lost in a new city.You can now buy . Great discounts available.
The new Mahindra Ssangyong Rexton SUV would be impressive in every section and Ssangyong is not leaving any loopholes. Therefore, even when it comes to the wheels, the car maker has made sure it has provided the SUV with bold and big alloy wheels that would be best suited for the Indian terrain. According to the firm, the bold wheel arches of the Mahindra Ssangyong Rexton SUV will be fitted with 18 inches of alloy wheels that would give you a very downy and bump-free ride even on the uneven topography of our country. These 18 inches of alloy wheels will have tyre of 255/60 R18 size .
Ed's Take: The ride of the Rexton is composed and it feels like a premium SUV cabin, as it doesn't jitter. Even the handling is decent for the size of the vehicle.
With the high performing engine, good interiors and rugged looks, it is crucial for a SUV to have a superb braking and handling system that helps the car and the passengers to be safe and sound. The new Mahindra Ssangyong Rexton SUV will be blessed with a very powerful and reactive braking system, which would give the car driver complete control over the vehicle. The ventilated disc brakes will be present for the front and rear. The presence of anti lock braking system and electronic brake force distribution system would further add on to the brake system here. These two will help the wheels from locking up and thereby preventing the vehicle from skidding. To augment the handling of the SUV, the car maker would give the car an awesome suspension system, which would keep the power gobble up all the potholes on the uneven topography of the country. The suspension system will comprise of double wishbone coil spring for the front along with the rigid axle with 5-link coil spring type suspension for the rear. Apparently, this suspension system is a bit soft and doesn't actually match up to the level of other premium SUVs like Premier Rio or Mahindra Bolero. But one thing is sure, which is that the suspension here is noiseless and no harshness.
Ed's Take: The safety features on the Rexton include dual airbags, ABS, ESP with hill descent.
Besides the suspension system, the power assisted steering wheel would help Mahindra Ssangyong Rexton SUV to have a good handling and make it absolutely easy for the driver to glide through heavy traffic conditions without any trouble or hassle. On the other hand, the safety features in the Mahindra Ssangyong Rexton SUV will not fail you. The car would come with airbags for the driver and front co-passenger, traction control , electronic stability program, collision avoidance system and engine immobilizer . These features make sure that the car passengers are secure during an accident or collision. Also, there are chances that the car would come with hill descent control, big halogen headlamps for better visibility at night and brake assist as well.

With all the Olympic Curling coverage we've had in the past few weeks you have undoubtedly become confused on the difference between Curling the sport and CURL the highly useful PHP library. Lord knows I have! Here is a brief explanation of both that'll hopefully clear things up for you.
Curling (the sport):
Curling is a team sport in which stones are slid across a sheet of carefully prepared ice towards a target area. It is related to bowls, boule and shuffleboard.
Two teams, each of four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished blue hone granite stones across the ice curling sheet towards the house, a circular target marked on the ice.[1] Each team has eight stones. The purpose is to accumulate the highest score for a game, points being scored for the stones resting closest to the centre of the house at the conclusion of each end, which is completed when both teams have thrown all of their stones. A game may consist of ten or eight ends.

Select Route:
Start at the large chockstone in the gulley. Before stepping up to the ledge above the chockstone, place a 1" (+/-) cam in the big hole off to your right. Once you step up to the ledge and under the roof you can place a small nut or cam above your head so you can step up and clip the bolt above the overhang. Make the bolt protected mantle move and work your way up past 1 more bolt on your way to the anchors. The runout to the anchors is 5.6. Once you reach the top rap off or TR Dark Side (5.10) or Jeff's Crack (5.9). Both are left of Dark Side. The upper pitch has nothing harder than 5.6 but provides a nice way to get to the top of P-Wall. After you make the top of P-Wall, work your way up to Sunnyside (5.9) and cruise to the summit.
Starts on top of the very large chockstone lodged in the gulley. Go up over the roof. Yes, it's only 5.8!

Start by the tree to gain the left trending crack. Great holds gets you to the first clip. Move up on more great holds past clip 2 and through the short headwall with somewhat harder moves to a stance. Move to left of the bulge using the flake with really good holds to the anchors.
This is the second route encountered if coming from the Feline Parking Lot which is the quickest approach of about 3 minutes. Rickles is right in front of the sawed off tree on the trail.

Top litigator quits Paul Hastings after falsifying degrees from Harvard and Oxford
Readers' comments (22)
What an absolutely bizarre moment of madness - particularly as it sounds like he was trading under he less glamorous (presumably correct) CV while at Paul Hastings (not an angle picked up on in the RoF story). So all it would ever have taken, as presumably happened, was someone at his prospective new chambers looking at his existing profile. Even without that anomaly it's pretty crazy - Harvard's a big place, but Oxbridge colleges aren't, nor is the Bar. There always seem to be people knocking around from one's year - or purported year - in College, more's the pity.
Proof if it were ever needed that a law firm partner's workload is easy and all bluff if this charlatan could pull something like this off.
He ought to have been struck off. Its complete, unashamed dishonesty - no moment of madness, but a gross misrepresentation of one's training and a discredit to the barrister profession. People spend years earning these credentials, not for some joke to add them to his name having done no work for them whatsoever.
No Oxford connection at all, never mind a Dphil from there. As for the supposed first class honours from UEA - that too, it seems, another total lie. Thankfully there has been an outing in the end, at least. If I was one of his clients at Paul Hastings, I would be dismayed beyond words.
The Bar Directory today lists a Dr Dennis Thomas Delcaron O'Riordan, MA, D Phil(Oxon), said to be of Quadrant Chambers and Paul Hastings. Called October 1993. Could they be the same? A 20 year old, grave fantasy?
"Anomaly" is the key word there. If that's the case, this (apparently very talented lawyer) was trading on his proper credentials until very late in the game - I wonder what went wrong here. Poor chap.
that pesky internet again. its not like it used to be.
someone recently found out i'd not actually been a supreme court judge (now that was embarassing)
Madness. The irony, of course, is that he clearly proved that it is perfectly possible to be a successful City lawyer without the academic pedigree that academically high-achieving partners insist on in for their recruits. His on-paper credentials are false, but his achievements in the law are as real as anyone's.
Too many others faking away!
Surely the entire miserable tale here raises the essential qualities of professional trust and integrity clients expect from their lawyers - the very first qualities required for any lawyer who holds him/herself out as having standing.
Without them, there can be no client lawyer relationship at all...
Tragic. Why would you lie about going to Radley? Perhaps he was looking for sympathy?
I am stunned to hear that. I worked with Dennis at Sumitomo, where he was very highly thought of and, coincidentally, where the Head of Legal at the time was forced to leave for the very same thing...
Doesn't Paul Hastings do any DD at all?! All the big international firms hold up the recruitment process until every detail on a partner candidate's CV is checked.
Surely the key point here was that he already had a successful career and was highly regarded. There was absolutely no need for him to make up additional credentials. If he felt there was a need, then more fool him, but this story may also reflect the ridiculous emphasis on collecting high-end qualifications that ultimately mean nothing in real life. Tony Abbott, our lamebrained PM in Australia, is a former Rhodes Scholar. That should tell you all you need to know.
Did no one ask to see any credentials? It is easy to find out - about 5 minutes on the phone to the relevant institution. Most firms, especially US firms, have this down pat for grads and associate hires but seemingly once on the gilded throne of partnership all one has to do is say what you want and that will be fine, old sport.
I don't want to enhance his misery but I had a client who applied for jobs in false names (he said to avoid race discrimination) as a labourer, worked for years doing this and then got done for obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception. He got a year in prison and lost his two houses and all he had worked for (forcing his wife and kids on the dole). They also tried to get all his wages back under POCA - luckily he had nothing by then. How is this different?
What this really is, is tragic. Tom is a very talented lawyer, and is also a decent person who treated others with respect - and there is a shortage of those. It is a shame that he felt the need to lie, presumably to get ahead some time in his career, and that apparently has now brought his career down, at least for a time. I and I believe the others who encountered him professionally hope he can find the strength to put this behind him and soldier on. Also that the gloating about this tragedy stops.
Spare me all this "Tom is a great guy" crap. The fact of the matter is that he has behave dishonestly if not fraudulently in order to advance his career and to make money.
If this man was not a highly educated high flying middle class type person then I am sure you beautiful magic circle people would have no sympathy for him at all.
I endured years working as his secretary at one of the banks. It was constant mood swings and gossiping with Dennis, and chocolates after each mood swing to kiss and make up. Not an evil man though and I hope he's ok overseas now and can get a 9-5 job when the dust settles at charity shop or something like that. Thinking back, he never liked talking about his impressive qualifications - but folks just assumed it was out of modesty.
I don't know why the 1st sentence has to declare that the guy was well liked. The partner told porkies & got away with it for years.
What a waste of potential and talent! If the fellow had a successful career why then did he have to compromise his ethics and lie? Right, to get the job in the first place.
I worked with him many years ago when he was in house counsel at a bank that shall remain nameless. He was a bright guy, very erudite, gave sound and pragmatic advice, and he was a generally entertaining and personable colleague although he could be occasionally moody. From what I remember he traded off his intellect rather than his qualifications. I liked him, but I now feel let down that he lied.
Dennis lived across the road from me with his mother and his mother and my late mother were close friends. His mother used to tell us about all his different jobs and later his legal work. She was incredibly proud of him. I knew him from childhood until about the time he went to UEA to do his Law degree in Norwich. He worked very hard to get money together as a young man, working as a theatre technician at St Thomas' Hospital in London, his mother told us, and for a while did some chiropody, too, she said. Then we heard from his (lovely) mother about the Japenese job in, she said, derivatives and his purchase of a fabulous house quite nearby to where we all lived. It is so sad, as he clearly had the motivation and where-withall to get some money together to pursue his ambition. They were not a family bathed in riches, I can assure everyone. It is just not clear when he began this web of deception, but as a member of the Bar and specialising in regulatory law now, there must have been a reason why he did not get the ultimate sanction - one cannot know if one was not at the hearing - so do not judge without knowing the facts.
His dishonesty, if proven, would be unquestionably unethical.
Let's not forget how flawed a system it is that so disproportionately prizes Oxbridge degrees that one might deem it necessary to falsify academic achievement. Perhaps this was the best/only way to secure pupillage/tenancy? Why else would he do such a thing?

Phillips has released a limited edition black diamond care toothbrush. Its a very sleek looking toothbrush, but I already see one problem.
The toothbrush on my comes with one black tooth brush head. Looking at various stores such as London Drugs, Walmart, Shoppers Drug Mart I could not find any black replacement tooth brush heads. So that means when it comes time to replace your tooth brush head you'll have to opt for the standard white tooth brush head. I don't know about you, but I think that will look ridiculous.
If the black is truly limited edition it dos not make financial sense for Phillips to produce black toothbrush heads for such a small market. What's your opinion?

PLATTSBURGH — City of Plattsburgh Republican candidates will start their petition process today with a platform of controlling taxes while exploring opportunities for growth.
"There is an undercurrent of fiscal stability here, and we've been through some tough times, but I think there might be some easing in the future," mayoral candidate James Calnon said at a news conference Monday afternoon.
"We need to realistically plan how we are going to invest in the coming years."
Calnon, a councilor from Ward 4, heads the GOP ticket for the Plattsburgh City Common Council races. An independent, he was endorsed by the party last month to run for mayor.
Calnon has been on the council since 2007. As mayor pro tem, he serves as its budget officer.
He was joined Monday by the six council candidates and the two Clinton County Legislature candidates who represent areas in the city.
Ward 1 Republican candidate William Ferris said his business experience will help him as a councilor.
"I hope to bring that experience to the council," he said.
Ferris will run against Democrat Rachelle Armstrong.
In Ward 2, former Ward 1 Councilor Michael Drew will run for the Republicans. Drew, who also used to own Lake City Skate, a popular roller-skating venue, served on the council for six years from 2002 to 2008. He was mayor pro tem for five of those years.
He said Plattsburgh has a lot going for it, citing big fishing tournaments, the renovation of the Strand Theatre and recreation opportunities.
"We have a lot of opportunities for the future," he said.
"There are challenges, but with those challenges come opportunities."
Democrats have endorsed former Councilor Michael Kelly to run against Drew in Ward 2.
In Ward 3, Dale Dowdle will run for the Republicans against Democrat Justin Meyer.
Dowdle is retired from the New York State Department of Parole. He served on the Plattsburgh City School Board for 10 years.

I did this blog post a couple of years ago and I like to share it every year. It's my how-to guide for brining a turkey. Food snobs all think they have the BEST SECRET TURKEY RECIPE EVERRRR and I'm sure they do....but this method is fool-proof for me, making the juiciest, most flavorful turkey ever. I prefer a fresh turkey, but this works great for frozen turkeys too. In fact, this year, we have a frozen turkey and I plan to start the brine wednesday afternoon...
Not everyone knows this about me, but I'm a pretty awesome cook :)
It's my 2nd love, next to photography, and I love Thanksgiving because it's one of the few times of the year that I really get to throw-down in the kitchen. Most people love to EAT Thanksgiving dinner...I love to COOK it.
One thing that I have PERFECTED over the years is my Thanksgiving Turkey. The secret is the BRINE... and now I want to share my recipe. You gotta start early though... this needs at least 10 hours to be just right.
First, start with a fresh turkey. Frozen is ok too, but make sure you let it thaw thoroughly and properly beforehand. My turkey is 19lbs, but this recipe will work with any size bird:
I take out the neck and innards, and save for later. I use it to make a broth for my Homemade Cornbread Dressing and Gravy.
I gather my ingredients (I use all fresh stuff):
3 stalks of celery
3-4 carrots
2 large onions
2 large oranges
1 bunch each of parsely, sage, rosemary, thyme (cue Simon & Garfunkel)
1 cup each of sugar and salt
3-4 tbs. butter
I roughly chop the veggies (celery, carrots and onion) and sautee...
I then add the sugar and salt to a LARGE pot... large enough to hold whatever size turkey you have.
Add 4-5 cups of hot water and STIR to dissolve the salt & sugar.
Then I use my hand to carefully separate the skin of the turkey from the muscle. I SLOWLY and GENTLY stick my hand inside to separate the skin without tearing it. I then put the butter (thin slices) and the about 1/3 of the fresh herbs between the skin and the muscle.
The herbs and butter REMAIN INSIDE once I roast the turkey.
Then, I stuff the cavity of the turkey with the remaining herbs, the other onion, cut up, and one quartered orange. These things also remain inside the turkey when roasting.
Place the turkey in the pot and add enough water to cover. Add the sauteed veggies and the other orange, thinly sliced.
Cover and refridgerate...
I leave this in the fridge overnight. I put it in the fridge at 1:30pm and will roast my turkey tomorrow morning at about 9am. The longer you let your turkey the brine, the better, but give it at least 10-12 hours.
Once I remove the turkey I do the following:
*drain the turkey and allow to sit on the kitchen counter for an hour before placing in the oven. It cooks better when its brought to room temperature before placing in hot oven.
*leave veggies and herbs inside the turkey...sometimes I add more!
*roast at 325ºF for however long your Turkey requires to roast...
*I cover my turkey while roasting, and remove the cover for the final hour of cook time so it can get brown.
*allow 20 minutes to rest before slicing!

Raptors lost in Detroit
Wednesday, October 10, 2012
The Raptors struggled on the glass and couldn't find their offence late against the Detroit Pistons in a 101-99 preseason road loss on Wednesday. DeMar DeRozan scored 17 points, John Lucas added 16 points off the bench and Jonas Valanciunas posted two points and two blocks in his NBA Debut.
Game highlights and video:
Download Game Book, full stats and etc:
It was a debut game for Jonas Valanciunas.
The Raptors rookie centre saw just over 13 minutes of work in his first appearance on Wednesday since suffering a calf strain and finished with two points and two blocks (I saw three) in a Raptors 101-99 loss to the Pistons.
Head coach Dwane Casey said Valanciunas did an "excellent job" given the context of his first game and competition in the form of a big Detroit frontline.
"He was where he was supposed to be a lot on his offensive sets and defensive situations and he opened up Andrea (Bargnani) on rolls," Casey said post-game.
It wasn't perfect. He didn't grab a rebound on a night the Raptors were beaten badly on the boards and a turnover on a handoff attempt for a teammate come to mind. But the flashes of just how he could thrive in the NBA were also on display.
Both of Valanciunas' blocks came against gifted offensive forward Greg Monroe and he maintained an aggressive approach while recording just the one foul. One of those swats also led to a major Raptors highlight as he sparked a fast break with a block, sprinted up court to command defensive attention in the lane and created room for DeMar DeRozan to attack and finish with a vicious dunk.

Update 7/11/14: We are conducting a FREE seminar about "WorkPlace Bullying". If interested, You Can Get your FREE eTICKET below!
Update 10/12/13: After the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013- More Needs to Be Done
Update 9/19/13: Republic Act 10627 or the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 has been signed into law, and cyberbullying is defined as one of the prohibited acts. Please read the salient points of the anti-bullying act of 2013
You may be interested to check the survey result that defined the local cyberbullying culture, some statistics related to incidence bullying and cybercbullying in the Philippines, and the proactive steps to deal with cyber bullying.
I was asked if there is a law against cyber bullying in the Philippines, given the effectivity of the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 today, Oct. 3, 2012.
Cyber bullying is not included in the new cybercrime law, but there are pending bills filed in both houses of congress on this. It was widely believed in the legal circles that "Republic Act 7610 also known as Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act" is being recognized as one of the possible laws that can be used by families who are victim of cyber bullying.
ARTICLE VI- Other Acts of Abuse
Section 10. Other Acts of Neglect, Abuse, Cruelty or Exploitation and Other Conditions Prejudicial to the Child's Development. –
(a) Any person who shall commit any other acts of child abuse, cruelty or exploitation or to be responsible for other conditions prejudicial to the child's development including those covered by Article 59 of Presidential Decree No. 603, as amended, but not covered by the Revised Penal Code, as amended, shall suffer the penalty of prision mayor in its minimum period.
If, however, the cyber bully created a false account about the victim, the cybercrime law, may now be used as basis for filing of complaint.
There is a special challenge to identify the cyber bully since bullying can be done anonymously, or hide behind a pseudo online personality. But according to PH law enforcement groups, they have the capability to trace the identity of the anonymous bully.
If in anyway, you or your family is a victim of cyber bullying, you can file an ONLINE complaint at PNP CIDG's PROJECT ANGEL
hi I just read a conversation of a certain people talking about me somewhat backbitting at me I read something that is really below the belt already is that a cyber crime already? if it is how can I report them? they we're actually planning to poison me yet the another person refuse to her plan. how cab i teach them a lesson ? I read it at the bullies facebook
Hi. I just joined a facebook community group. In this group they had a discussion where in they post pictures of a vehicle not properly park with plate number clearly shown in it. They tagged this discussion as "stupid drivers" and calling them "mga ngengot". Can this be consider as a cyber bullying?
the elements of cyberbullying may include: deliberate and repeated act, use of technology to cause an embarrassment, fear and loss of dignity to another person. But in your example, only plate numbers are shown. Car owners and drivers are not necessarily one person.
(1) Does the current law on bullying "really" criminalize bullying? as a whole? with that, i mean including school bullying. of course, they would call it juvenile delinquency and so no imprisonment and just rehab, etc. (2) But other than school bullying, is there a penalty, like imprisonment, on such acts?

After Awhile
After a while, you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads
On today, because tomorrow's ground
Is too uncertain for plans, and futures have
A way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine
Burns if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate
Your own soul instead of waiting
For someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth.
And you learn and learn...
With every goodbye you learn.

"Disney for Ducks" wetlands wildlife reserve at Steart proves controversial (From Bridgwater Mercury)

"Disney for Ducks" wetland wildlife reserve at Steart proves controversial
9:08am Thursday 24th April 2014 in News By Joe Dempsey
A CONTROVERSIAL £20million wildlife reserve at the mouth of the River Parrett has been dubbed "environmental vandalism".
The Environment Agency and the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust were granted planning permission two years ago to create the wetlands at Steart.
But local farmers whose land was bought at the time have dubbed the project 'Disney for Ducks' and are unhappy about how it has turned out.
Robert Pocock, aged 64, from Stringston, was one of the farmers whose land at Steart was bought two years ago. He told the Weekly News he feels that they had no choice but to sell.
He said: "They put it to us that they were not going to keep the flood defences up so we had the choice of taking £5,000 an acre or staying on flooded farmland."
Ben Tarr, 33, also took the decision to sell some of his family's farmland. He said: "We did feel put upon to sell the land.
"Everybody who was involved got set back by it. I have replaced our land but it cost us a significant amount of money."
A spokesman for the Environment Agency said the wetlands had to be built under EU law.
He said: "Inter-tidal wetlands, which are very valuable habitats, have been lost through climate change and also through man-made structures such as tidal defences.
"To compensate for that, you have to build a habitat. It's not an option. If we don't follow this EU directive we could be prosecuted for not implementing EU law."
But Mr Tarr said: "It was a pretty flourishing natural habitat down there anyway. Considering Bridgwater was nearly flooded this year, surely the money could have been better spent.
"I did some contracting work down there and what they have done is absolutely destroy it. I didn't even recognise where I was because they ripped out all the landmarks."
Mr Pocock said: "I call it environmental vandalism. I never go down there any more because it just makes me depressed.
"People do not respect food production. It was good ground. They have no idea what people need for farming.
The wetlands are due to be ready by September and Mark Simpson of the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust, was positive about them. He said: "Three 3km of pathways have just been opened this year. It's an open bit of landscape so people are free to visit it whenever they like.
"People who live nearby will be able to take their dogs for a walk. There will be toilets and a car park. A lot of local people can get involved by volunteering and we hope to bring school groups down eventually."
Adam George, Oxford Brookes PhD student who is teaching at Bridgwater College's animal conservation programme, said: "Wetlands provide protection from flooding and offer temporary or enduring habitats for a diverse range of flora and fauna."

being disabled and not being able to walk far i can take my disability scooter down there and continue my hobby of photography and bird watching the place is seething with all kinds of birds i have even got photo's of 3 roe deer looking very happy there as for the farmers moaning if you didn't want the marshes then you should not have taken the money in the first place from what i know the land was not compulsory purchased so you have nothing to complain about

Biomarkers are becoming a major focus of pharmaceutical research and drug development, in part because they can be used as alternatives to clinical endpoints (e.g. how a patient feels, functions or survives). A "biomarker" is defined as a molecular signature found in blood, other body fluids, or tissues that reflects a normal biologic process, pathogenic process or pharmacologic process to a therapeutic intervention. A biomarker can be used to measure the risk for a disease, the progress of a disease or how well the body responds to a treatment for a disease or condition.
In the post-genomic age, the search for clinically useful biomarkers is a problem of computational and systems biology. Indeed, this challenge is one of the reasons that I left academia and accepted a position as a Computational Biologist at Covance's Biomarker Center of Excellence. Using high-throughput genomics and/or proteomics methods, hundreds of biomarker candidates can be identified from a given experiment. I've also generated lists of biomarker candidates by data mining PubMed for gene- or protein-disease associations. However, these candidate markers aren't "true biomarkers" until their clinical validity, analytical validity and clinical utility has been determined. Validation of candidate biomarkers is a time-consuming and not-always-accurate process because a standardized prioritization methodology doesn't currently exist.
I've found it particularly challenging to keep current with the latest news and developments on biomarkers. It's been difficult to find consistent, high-quality information from any one source; there's a lot of repeated and worthless information out there. And it's only going to get worse — some experts predict that, within a few years, the amount of content on the Web will double every 72 hours!
A "commons" refers to a set of resources maintained in the public domain for the use and benefit of everyone. In the spirit of Proteome Commons, Pathway Commons and Neurocommons, my latest project is Biomarker Commons.
Biomarker Commons (http://biomarkercommons.org) is a curated archive of news and research focused on biomarker discovery, development and use.
I'm using my knowledge and experience with the Web and search tools to find, organize and share the best and most relevant content on biomarkers. As I've strived to do with Highlight HEALTH, every news article on Biomarker Commons will include a link to its original source and every research article will link directly to PubMed.
If you're interested in biomarkers, you can keep up with the latest news on biomarkers via the Biomarker Commons Biomarker News RSS feed. I've also setup a Twitter account @BiomarkerCmns to share the latest news on biomarkers.
Additionally, you can keep up with the latest studies on biomarkers via the Biomarker Commons Biomarker Research RSS feed. This feed polls PubMed every few hours for the latest in biomarker research. Additionally, thirty-seven therapeutic area research categories comprising five categories aggregate biomarker research from PubMed every six hours. RSS feeds are not currently available.

Romanian pirates have attacked by boats the Bulgarian ship "St Apostol Andrey" at the 128th kilometer on the Danube river.Seriously? Someone unloads a ton of grain and the crew sleeps through it?
The Bulgarian daily "Trud" (Labor) cites the captain of the ship, Nencho Anchev, who says 1 ton of barley from the cargo has been stolen.
The incident happened late Sunday night, neat the Romanian city of Braila, where the ship came to anchor. The crew noticed the loss in the morning.
"No one hear[d] anything during the night. It is just three of us working 12-hour shifts, so we do not have a night guard," Anchev says.
Bralia riverside
Anchev further voices outrage that the European Commission is pouring money in border police cutters for Romania all while the Danube River remains unprotected from pirates' raids, adding such incidents were common occurrence.

Synthpop is a type of pop music in which the synthesizer is the dominant instrument or otherwise is highly placed in the mix. In the 80s, it was associated with the new wave scene, particularly with the success of groups such as Abc, Duran Duran, and Erasure. Kraftwerk (from Germany) and Yellow Magic Orchestra (from Japan) are often hailed as the pioneers of the style due to their experimental 70s work.

Regarding Vic Gundotra's post....
I'm trying an experiment. I'm traveling (for business) across the world over the next two weeks.
Arrived in London today. Heathrow's terminal 5 pictured below.
Here is the kicker: I don't have a laptop with me. I'm also doing a few photo walks and I didn't bring my DSLR.
I'm relying on my Nexus 7 tablet and two HTC ones, and iPhone 5 for everything else.
In other words an all mobile diet. Let's see how this goes....
Nexus 7, 2 HTC One, Iphone 5 = 7 + 1 + 1 + 5 = 14.
Ending the post with 4 dots.
In the comments he asked us to "connect the dots".
Nexus is a connection or series of connections linking two or more things.
Connect 4 dots = Nexus 4.
14th of October is the rumored release date of Nexus 4.

BOISE — The best college golfers, like the top college football players, used to go straight to the big league.
Now many of those golfers end up on the Web.com Tour, which winds its way through Boise this week. The Albertsons Boise Open is Thursday through Sunday at Hillcrest Country Club.
The PGA Tour's new qualifying format, implemented last year, removed the direct route from college to the top tour. The change shows with one look at this year's Web.com Tour money list.
Of the players ranked in the top 25 - the ones who, as of today, would earn playing privileges on the PGA Tour for the 2014-15 season - six are rookies who turned pro in the past two years.
That includes leading money-winner Carlos Ortiz, who graduated from North Texas in August 2013, and Sebastian Cappelen, who tied for ninth in the NCAA men's golf tournament in May and won his first start on the Web.com Tour in June.
Also, Alabama star Cory Whitsett, who helped the Crimson Tide win the past two NCAA titles, is expected to make his third start of the season this week.
"I like (qualifying) this way," said Cappelen. "Obviously I can say that, now that I'm on here. People who are still trying to get on here, it might seem like a long way to the PGA Tour. But I think it's healthy for everyone."
The old system allowed new pros to enter the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament and advance directly to the PGA Tour. The new system sends players from Q-School to the Web.com Tour, where they must earn a promotion to the PGA Tour.
The top 25 money-winners on the Web.com Tour get PGA Tour cards for the following season. The next 50 finishers on the Web.com Tour and the players ranked Nos. 126 to 200 on the PGA Tour compete in the four-event Web.com Tour Finals for an additional 25 PGA Tour cards.
The Boise Open, with its $800,000 purse, has attracted all of the top 25 money-winners this year.
Cappelen will make his fourth start. He got into the Air Capital Classic in Wichita, Kan., through a Monday qualifier and won. That secured his spot on the Web.com Tour for the rest of this season and all of next season, but it also earned him enough money that he ranks 22nd on the money list.
"It's like I just skipped 100 steps on a ladder on the way to where I want to be," he said. "I felt like this is kind of cheating, but it is possible and I did it. I've just got to take it from where I am now and see where I can take it."
Ortiz, who is from Mexico, can advance immediately to the PGA Tour with a third win. He won early-season events in Mexico and Panama, and finished third in Colombia and Georgia.
He chose to play out his last summer as an amateur last year, rather than chase the Web.com Tour like Cappelen did this year.
Ortiz used the time to complete some changes in his game.
"Everybody thinks, 'You're playing great. What are you doing?' " he said. "It's not what you're doing right now. It's what you did maybe six months ago. I really practiced hard. It was part of my path to be here."
Ortiz, 23, hopes to build momentum late this summer the way he did last summer. He's a lock to make the final top 25 and advance to the PGA Tour, which begins the 2014-15 season in October.
"I'm having great success here, and I want to try to continue learning from this so I'll be where I want to be for October," he said. " I think if I keep working hard and give my best, I'm going to be successful on the next tour, too."
Cappelen, 24, came to the U.S. from Denmark to pursue his golf career. Some European players skip college, turn pro immediately and play on the European tour.
Others go the American college route. In Denmark, Cappelen said, it isn't feasible to play sports while attending college.
At Arkansas, he became the school's first four-time golf All-American and won the Southeastern Conference title in 2013.
"The golf courses never get this good in Denmark," Cappelen said. "We don't have the right resources. We have some stupid laws that we can't water the golf courses. We can water the greens, but if we have sun for a week the fairways are yellow."
His first act as a pro was to try to qualify for the U.S. Open. He lost in a playoff at a sectional event, the last stage.
Because he missed the U.S. Open, he entered the qualifier in Wichita.
"You could say that the best thing to happen to me was missing the U.S. Open," he said, "because otherwise I probably wouldn't have gone to Wichita."
The win, though, wasn't enough to clinch a spot on the PGA Tour for next season. He probably needs one more strong finish.
"It's very nice to have some security," he said of his guaranteed spot on the Web.com Tour through next season. "Once that goes through your mind, then you realize, 'I can make it to the PGA Tour.' Now the pressure is right back on."
Junior clinic today
The Idaho Statesman Junior Clinic is at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Hillcrest Country Club. Web.com Tour pros will give 1-on-1 lessons to the children in attendance.
Other events this week

Classic X-Back Suspenders
X marks the spot and classic 42 inch long suspenders like these mark you as the perfect gentleman or lady. Made in the USA.
Fiber Content: Leather with elastic, metal clips.
Brass hardware is brass-plated.
Silver hardware is nickel-plated.
We were previously offering these in a vinyl faux leather, but currently that is unavailable. We'll update here if we're able to offer them in faux leather again.
Sizing Tips: 1.25 inch elastic, 42 inches long unstretched allows them to fit a wide range of heights by using the adjustable slides."
Label: Sock Dreams
How big are the clips on these? My grampa loves the x back suspenders but cant find any with big enough clips.
My son made Honor Roll, and when we told him he could have anything he wanted as a "way to go" gift, he grabbed the computer and started shopping for socks. Just though you'd like to know that even 12-year-old boys cannot resist the awesomeness that is Sock Dreams!

I'd prefer double elim, but WTF, this could be setting a great precedent. Wouldn't it be great if Khan v Maidana and Alexander v Bradley fought on the same night.
Oh yeah, Khan v Maidana will be fighting on the same night as the Bantam tourney first round.
I think boxing is finally starting to get its shit together.
