text: Romney Leads, Obama Follows: Obama Acts Against China After Romney Exposes Weakness Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 21 Sep 2012 post a comment In keeping with his administration's philosophy of "leading from behind," President Barack Obama filed a new complaint against China with the World Trade Organization (WTO) this week--after Republican nominee Mitt Romney began highlighting Obama's failure to out-compete China in trade and manufacturing. Not even the Obama-friendly Washington Post could explain away the rather shameful sequence of events: The White House on Monday filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization over Chinese subsidies to its auto and auto parts industry, the latest in a series of actions dating back to 2009 to protest what U.S. manufacturers say are the unfair advantages China gives its own industries. The move came four days after Romney launched an advertising campaign accusing the president of allowing American manufacturing jobs to be lost to the Asian power. Obama campaigned in 2008 on fears of Chinese economic dominance. But he also touted the supposed superiority of the Chinese economic model of state-driven development and infrastructure investment--a model that is now in doubt as Chinese economic growth slows and significant Chinese infrastructure projects are exposed as ghost-town boondoggles. In addition, Obama's stimulus--the center of his economic plan--illegally sent taxpayer dollars to China to pay for solar panels, even as his own government-backed solar panel boondoggle, Solyndra, collapsed. Other stimulus money also went to companies that outsource jobs to China. The Obama administration has lodged no fewer than ten WTO complaints against China. But appealing to the WTO--and to protectionism--is a confirmation that the U.S. is losing. Lower wages and regulations in China are only part of the story. The refusal of the Obama administration to free key economic sectors--such as domestic energy--is also a factor. When President Obama turned away the Keystone XL pipeline, for example, Canada turned to China as an export destination for its fossil fuels, costing the U.S. thousands of potential jobs. To the extent that Romney is appealing to some of the same protectionist impulses, he is opening himself up to some of the same criticism that has hit Obama. But his turn to China as a key topic in the presidential election--and Obama's immediate reaction--shows that Romney knows it is a weakness for the President. President Obama, apparently, agrees. His latest gesture may be too little, too late--and the wrong policy. But at least he can be prompted to act--when someone else is willing to lead.

In Syria, the conflict has entered into its fourth year. Since March 2011, Bashar al-Asad has refused to heed the call of the Syrian people to step aside. He has directed a war against his own people, destabilized the region, and created a humanitarian catastrophe.
Syrian journalists and media activists are under constant threat on multiple fronts. The Asad regime has tortured and killed scores of journalists and continues to target them for detention, monitors and censors online activity, and blocks internet access. Non-state actors, including violent extremists, are also attempting to silence journalists through kidnapping, harassment, and killings.
Yet in the face of egregious abuses and violence, courageous Syrians continue their pursuit of justice and fundamental freedoms. Building on the momentum of UNESCO's World Press Freedom Day activities, last week U.S. Embassy Paris organized an event at which I had the privilege of meeting with a group of Syrian journalists and media activists who continue to provide the invaluable service of getting information in and out of Syria. Despite the tremendous risk, these journalists and activists communicate regularly with independent media and civil society networks, so the world can hear what's happening inside Syria.
These Syrian journalists and activists are keen to focus the world's attention on the many cases of detention, kidnapping, and killing of Syrian journalists, human rights advocates and media activists. We discussed the case of the on-going detention of staff from the Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression held by the regime, as well as the kidnapping of human rights activist, Razan Zaitouneh. As with so many of my meetings with Syrian civil society, every participant has a close colleague, friend, or relative who has risked and sometimes lost their life to collect the facts on the ground in Syria. Their brave determination and steadfast commitment in the face of such adversity sets an inspiring example for journalists around the world.
Our Free the Press campaign has been highlighting the perils and problems facing journalists from every region around the world. The United States is committed to promoting freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and journalist safety and security globally. The State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor funds 86 media programs, including programs that focus on investigative and conflict sensitivity reporting, civic engagement by youth through media, increasing diversity in the media sector, gender-sensitive media programming, and access to independent media in local languages. In addition, DRL's SAFE Initiative provides state-of-the-art trainings to journalists on physical and digital security and psychosocial care through centers in San Salvador, El Salvador; Tbilisi, Georgia; and Nairobi, Kenya.

I have been working at MIT part-time (more than an year)
If you like hard but meaningful work, this is the right place. Knowing that you are at the cutting edge of research is exciting. Graduate stipend is good enough to live on, and health benefits are great.
As other people have pointed out, you are working with the best and brightest, so it is easy to get down on yourself if you aren't "perfect." Sometimes the hours are very long--expect to work 50+ hours a week for a "part-time" RA.

From Tips and Steps
Make a Plant Hanger from a Sock
- Find an old sock or use new fun socks.
- Paint the outside with oil based paint to make it waterproof, bright colors are best
- Fill the inside with quality topsoil from your local nursery. The better quality the better it will work because your plants will thrive
- Purchase good quality flowering plants with good strong roots from your local nursery. The plants should be small and hardy. Bring the sock with you to the nursery and explain what you are trying to do.
- Carefully punch a hole in the center of the soil and place the plant in. Cover the roots and pour 2 ounces of water into the soil.
- Attach a tack or nail in your garden or on your fence and hang the sock in a sunny area of your garden. The plants will need to get enough sun to thrive and grow.
- Invite your friends over and show off your beautiful plant hangers
- Shorter socks work best
- If you have a longer sock that you want to recycle because of a pretty colour or pattern, you can cut it to make it a shorter length to make it a better length for a plant.
- Be sure to use enough paint to make the plant hanger waterproof from leaks.

This MATLAB interface allows users to easily convert algorithm models into VSIPL++ compliant C++ code and to verify the correct function of the deployed code on a specific target system.
The Sourcery VSIPL++ product is an open standard, high-level C++ image and signal processing library for high performance computing (HPC) applications. The new product allows users to express algorithms in high-level C++ code, to improve application speed performance and software development productivity for signal and image processing algorithms used in embedded systems while simultaneously ensuring application portability across a wide variety of compute platforms. Key applications for VSIPL++ include radar for military-aerospace, medical diagnostic imaging, and computer vision for industrial control and automotive markets.
Mentor Graphics and the Object Management Group (OMG) have been working closely on advancing the VSIPL++ specification as a global standard for compute-intensive applications targeting embedded systems. Last month, the OMG officially adopted the VSIPL++ specification, marking a smooth and rapid integration of the High Performance Embedded Computing Software Initiative (HPEC-SI) efforts and the OMG Technology Adoption Process. The overall mission of HPEC-SI is software portability to enable "write-once/run-anywhere" capability for high-performance embedded computing applications.
"VSIPL++ is an important step forward for interoperable, portable, reusable applications in the high-performance computing space, the last bastion of non-portable applications," said Richard Mark Soley, chairman and CEO of the Object Management Group. "There's no reason developers for HPEC systems should live without the write-once/run-anywhere standards deployed in other markets, and Mentor Graphics Corporation's leadership role in creating VSIPL++ stands out in support of HPEC developers."
"Our Mentor Embedded team is proud to be a key contributor to OMG's initiative to standardize the VSIPL++ specification," said Glenn Perry, general manager, Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division. "We expect that the newest enhancements to the Sourcery VSIPL++ product, which incorporate this standard, will benefit the growing number of developers working on compute-intensive applications."

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Shelton High School seniors Sonali Rodrigues and James Tate stand outside the Connecticut school. Tate asked Rodrigues to the prom by posting big letters on the side of the school. | AP
Updated: June 16, 2011 12:26AM
SHELTON, Conn. — A high school headmaster on Saturday announced she had changed her decision to bar a senior from prom after he asked a girl to the dance by posting an invitation in big cardboard letters on the side of the school.
Shelton High School headmaster Beth Smith had said that James Tate's punishment was the result of a well-publicized policy outlining consequences for anyone getting into trouble at school after April 1.
But on Saturday, Smith announced a policy change. Now, the school will decide prom attendance for suspended students on a "case-by-case" basis. In Tate's case, he may go to the prom.
Smith acknowledged the "international notoriety" the case received on social-networking sites had an effect. Students also had staged a protest sit-in.
Tate's punishment had followed his posting, with the help of two friends, a prom invitation made of 12-inch-tall cardboard letters outside the main entrance to the school last week.
The message read: "Sonali Rodrigues, Will you go to the prom with me? HMU — Tate." HMU means "hit me up," or "call me."
Rodrigues said yes. But Tate and his two friends were given one-day in-house suspensions by Smith and were barred from the June 4 prom in Shelton, a city of about 40,000 residents 45 miles southwest of Hartford.
Tate was told that posting the message constituted trespassing and posed a safety risk. His plight has made him a cause celebre — he appeared on talk shows including NBC's "Today" show and ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
"Me and Sonali are good people, and we should have been able to attend the prom together," Tate told the "Today" show.

The Evening Herald reports that residents in Newbridge, Co. Kildare raised the alarm after a man posing as a priest called to homes looking for charity contributions.
Local garda Sgt Seamus Rothwell of Newbridge Garda Station told the paper that "someone dressed as a priest" has been collecting for charity. He said the matter is being investigated.
Local Councilor Damien Molyneaux said he had received several complaints from constituents.
Community representative Ger Murphy advised people to check charity collectors' permits.
Last March a man posing as a bogus priest was arrested for collecting door-to-door in Co. Kildare.

Sunday afternoon, a small group of people, some on foot, some on bikes, marched around McMillen Park to promote healthy living, but they also had another purpose.
A group called the Urban Trail Project wanted to drive home a point. If you live on the southeast side, there is no safe route to get to the Rivergreenway.
Oh, the city has made efforts to make various parts of town more bicycle friendly. It has designated bicycle lanes on Rudisill Boulevard, letting people ride from South Anthony Boulevard to greenway trails at Foster Park.
But you don't want your children riding their bikes on that route, said Diane Rogers, who is affiliated with Urban Trails.
What the area really needs is a good north-south route that will let people who live in the area go north to downtown or south, which would give them access to Southgate Plaza and the Southtown Crossing area, which has Wal-Mart, Menards and other businesses.
Living on the southeast side, there's no safe way to get anywhere if you don't have transportation, that is, a car, Rogers says.
It isn't as though the city has ignored the southeast side. It has miles of planned Rivergreenway and plenty more miles of trail that have been proposed in that part of the city.
Ultimately, it is supposed to be possible to get from one extreme part of the city to another using the Rivergreenway, including from Waynedale, all the way to New Haven.
One proposal is to create a path for use by bicycles, pedestrian and wheelchairs that stretches along Anthony Boulevard from the area just east of downtown to Tillman Road.
That's where the rub is.
Anthony is certainly a direct route. It stretches from IPFW on the north to Southtown on the south. It crosses plenty of other main drags, including Jefferson and Washington boulevards and Rudisill and Oxford Street and Pettit Avenue.
But Anthony, being a main drag, is busy and noisy, Rogers says. It's full of busy cross streets and driveways.
Who wants to go for a peaceful walk or ride along such a noisy street? Rogers asks.
The people with Urban Trails prefer Hanna Street, which also stretches from downtown to Tillman, giving people access to Southtown. It's a quieter street, Rogers says, and it's not nearly as busy.
Oh, she knows that the city says there's more space to put in a path along Anthony.
She and others, she says, are just trying to provide a voice for the southeast side and make sure any paths that are developed are suitable.
It's easy to understand the position of both Urban Trails and the city. Fitting trails into areas that were designed and built 70 or more years ago, when no one rode bikes and only weirdos jogged, is a tall order.
At lest the Urban Trail Project is trying to get its voice heard now, while trails in that area are still in the proposal stage.


text: Obama's Rogue Union Board Dealt Major Setbacks Print article Send a Tip by Warner Todd Huston 9 May 2013 post a comment Upon coming to office, President Obama began using the obscure National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to give big payoffs to unions at the expense of businesses and to the detriment of our economic recovery, but now it appears his abuse of this agency is coming under scrutiny. By and large, NLRB is not one of those Washington agencies that gets much notice. In normal times, that wouldn't be a big deal. The NLRB is a federal agency controlled from the White House that is supposed to act as an unbiased arbiter between the business sector and labor unions; its chief job is to write rules to govern how business and labor relate to each other. But since President Obama took office, he's thrown out any pretense of his board being an unbiased arbiter and used this obscure agency to implement all sorts of union-favoring rules at the expense of businesses, economic recovery, and often in direct violation of what the courts have ruled. At long last, though, Obama's NLRB is seeing its assumed powers questioned. The most recent reversal of fortunes occurred on April 7, when the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the NLRB's poster rule. U.S. Circuit Judge A. Raymond Randolph ruled that the NLRB had exceeded its legal authority to force over 6 million employers to post signs advertising unions to employees. The rule dictated that businesses hang large posters informing employees how to set up a union. The court ruled that the NLRB's poster rule violated employer free speech as protected by the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act, as the posters were only allowed to have pro-union information on them. Obama's labor agency will appeal the ruling; in the meantime, it will hold off implementing the rule until a decision is reached. That hasn't been the only deafeat for the NLRB recently, either. In January, the D.C. Circuit court also ruled that Obama's appointments to the board were made illegally. The January ruling maintained that Obama exceeded his Constitutional authority with his attempt to use "recess appointments" to stuff the board with pro-union operatives. In January of 2012, Obama announced that as far as he was concerned, the Senate was in recess and proceeded to appoint Sharon Block, Terence F. Flynn, and Richard F. Griffin Jr. to the NLRB. In January of 2013, however, the court ruled that the Senate was not in recess at the time of the appointments, despite Obama's claims to the opposite. Despite this ruling, Obama and his NLRB have proceeded apace, with the fraudulent appointees still in place, churning out more pro-union regulations by the day. The NLRB's actions continue, in spite of the fact that the court's ruling puts all the NLRB's rules and regulatory changes made since last year in legal limbo. Even more brazenly, after the ruling that his recess appointments were illegal, Obama re-nominated the same people the court deemed illegitimate. Labor is increasingly agitated by the NLRB's setbacks. The AFL-CIO released a statement after the poster rule was struck down: The Republican judges of the D.C. Circuit continue to wreak havoc on workers' rights. After attempting to render the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) inoperable (in the Noel Canning decision), the D.C. Circuit has once again undermined workers' rights – this time by striking down a common-sense rule requiring employers to inform workers of their rights under federal labor law. In February, the AFL-CIO warned that it might take out its frustrations on Senate Democrats. At a gathering of the AFL-CIO executive council, a resolution was proposed to pressure Democrats on NLRB issues. The NLRB also made a splash in the news in 2011. One may recall that in a blatantly political move, the NLRB ruled that Boeing was not allowed to build a new manufacturing plant in right-to-work state South Carolina. The move was so transparently political that it drove one labor lawyer to note that "the willingness to ignore statutory language and judicial precedents is unique to the current administration."

I had met this guy at one of my friends shows, I asked him how I could be a promoter/do what he does. He brought me under his wing for about a month. I heard these rumors, and blocked him/never going near this man again..
I always got a sketchy vibe from him, just not like this.. On all of his websites he has no information with his last name or anything so I honestly have no idea.
To be honest, I'm kinda scared. I'm really glad he does not know where I live, and need to try to clear up anything online that might possibly have my address on it.
Thanks for the heads up guys.
When this guy tried to "promote" my band and when he got mad we weren't playing our last show at his venue, I knew he was a weirdo. I spray painted on the wall of his venue so I guess it works out too.

Turnout may be up in this week's Texas primaries, but experts say it won't be nearly enough to change the bottom line: The votes of a few will choose the officials who govern us all.Historically, turnout in the state's Republican primary has been 6 to 8 percent, while in the Democratic primary it has sunk to 3 to 6 percent over the past 15 years. Democrats had a one-time big bump to the 16 percent range in the 2008 primary when Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton battled for the presidential nomination. And Democrats hope to get another boost this year from the interest stirred up by Fort Worth state Sen. Wendy Davis' gubernatorial campaign.Experts say turning a primary surge into a general election victory in November is difficult."People can choose, one time in the calendar year, which primary they are going to vote in," said Matthew Eshbaugh-Soha, an associate political science professor at the University of North Texas. "That [turnout] isn't going to translate into more votes in the general election."This year, 364,952 Republicans and 224,676 Democrats from the state's 15 largest counties voted early in Tuesday's primary, state records show. Early voting ended Friday.While still trailing, more Democrats voted early this year than in the past two primary elections, prompting party officials to say their momentum is growing and they hope to find more success than in the past."We are voting more than we have in 2010 and 2012, which is especially exciting," said Deborah Peoples, who heads the Tarrant County Democratic Party. "As a Democrat, I have to believe that 2014 is going to be our year. You can't say to wait 10 years. You have to work hard for it to be right now, this year."At the same time, Republicans are poised to have more voters at the polls as they look to continue their dominance. No Democrat has been elected to statewide office since 1994.Tarrant County Republican Party Chairwoman Jennifer Hall said she's pleased with early voting in Texas, particularly here in one of the reddest counties in the country."The most important race in a political season is the primary," she said. "That's when people get to make the [real] choices. … Everybody seems to be working really hard this time to turn out their voters."Texans who didn't vote early will head to the polls Tuesday.Top of the ballotStatewide, 589,628 Texans, or nearly 7 percent of the state's 8.6 million registered voters, cast early ballots, according to data from the 15 largest counties provided by the Texas secretary of state's office.Among those were more than 75,000 Tarrant County residents — 52,719 Republicans and 22,621 Democrats.Republicans dominated turnout in most of the large counties, except for Cameron, El Paso, Hidalgo and Travis."The ratio of Republican to Democratic voters has remained roughly the same, with about 1.5 GOP voters for every Democratic voter in the state's 15 most populous counties," said Mark P. Jones, a political science professor at Rice University in Houston.Since 1990, Texas Republicans have cast more ballots in six primaries — 2012, 2010, 2006, 2000, 1998 and 1996, state election records show.Democrats had higher turnouts in six primaries as well — 2008, 2004, 2002, 1994, 1992 and 1990, records show."The parties oscillated back in forth in terms of winning the turnout battle, with the victor often determined by who had a competitive presidential primary and who did not," Jones said. But no matter which party had a better showing in the primary, Republican candidates claimed the top post on the ballot, whether president or governor, in all but one of those years.The exception was Democrat Ann Richards, who was elected governor in 1990.From the 1970s until the early 1990s, when the Democrats were in power in Texas, participation as a percentage of the voting-age population in their primaries regularly hit double digits. It peaked in 1972, when 28 percent of the voting-age population cast ballots.Republicans have dominated the last two decades. Four times George W. Bush was at the top of the ballot, first in his quest to become governor and later as he sought the presidency. His dad topped the ballot in 1992. And Gov. Rick Perry led the ballot three times, running for governor in 2002, 2006 and 2010.Republican presidential candidates have found success in Texas, even if they lost nationwide. Even in years when more Democrats turned out for the primary, the GOP presidential candidates — John McCain in 2008, Bob Dole in 1996 and George H.W. Bush in 1992 — walked away as victors in Texas.Gains/losses?Significant this year, Peoples said, is that Democrats are heading to the polls."Republicans have all these contested primaries," she said. "We have so many candidates in noncontested races, and people are turning out. Not only that, but we are seeing an uptick in the vote in some areas."We are seeing Democrats vote."Now party leaders need to make sure Democrats stay engaged, especially in Tarrant County, which many view as a bellwether of the state's political leanings."We refuse to cede Tarrant County," Peoples said. "We have to start believing every part of this county has great Democrats in it. There are Democrats all over Tarrant County, and we will find them and get them out to vote. This very well could be the year."Hall said she believes Republicans will easily retain their dominance in this county and in other areas."I'm pleased with the numbers we are seeing," she said. "I don't think [Democrats] are going to make significant advances here in Tarrant County. I don't expect them to close in on us that much."We are making sure people are aware there's an election and our candidates are working very hard."She said any Democratic increase locally or statewide is likely due to Battleground Texas, an effort by campaign workers for President Barack Obama to help turn the state Democratic."They are really working here, really setting up for the 2016 election," she said. "Everybody seems to be working really hard this time to turn out their voters."But Hall said she is confident that Republican voters will maintain their enthusiasm. "I think it will carry over to November," she said. Staff writer John Gravois contributed to this report, which includes material from The Texas Tribune.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee coach Derek Dooley's biggest question about his players heading into the season was how they would handle adversity. He got his answer when the Volunteers collapsed after back-to-back scores by Oregon.
Figuring out how to bounce back from bad plays -- like a 72-yard run by Ducks running back LaMichael James and an interception thrown by Vols quarterback Matt Simms that was returned for a TD -- is now Tennessee's biggest concern.
Saturday's game against No. 10 Florida may not carry the same national appeal without former Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin takings shots at the Gators or All-Americans Tim Tebow and Eric Berry meeting head on.
It gives Dooley a chance to see if his team can prevent another meltdown like the 48-13 loss to Oregon.

US rises to third in competitiveness table, Singapore maintains second
- POSTED: 03 Sep 2014 06:47
- UPDATED: 03 Sep 2014 06:55
The United States has risen two notches in the economic competitiveness stakes, the World Economic Forum said on Wednesday (Sep 3).
GENEVA: The United States has risen two notches in the economic competitiveness stakes, the World Economic Forum said on Wednesday (Sep 3).
"The United States improves its competitiveness position for the second consecutive year, climbing two places to third on the back of gains to its institutional framework and innovation scores," said the WEF, which issues an annual ranking. The United States had held the top rank seven years ago but slid to seventh amid the financial crisis.
The WEF, which organises the annual Davos meeting of the global political and business elite, said that Switzerland, where it is based, remained the world's most competitive economy. Singapore came in second, holding its ranking from the previous year.
Finland and Germany, which had been ranked third and fourth respectively, both dropped down one rung on the ladder. The highest climber in the top 10 was Japan, which moved to sixth place from its previous ninth.
Hong Kong and the Netherlands held their berths of seventh and eighth, while Britain gained one place, rising to ninth. Sweden fell from sixth to 10th.
"The leading economies in the index all possess a track record in developing, accessing and utilising available talent, as well as in making investments that boost innovation," said the WEF.
"These smart and targeted investments have been possible thanks to a coordinated approach based on strong collaboration between the public and private sectors," it added.
Below the top-rankers, the WEF underlined that a string of economic crisis casualties had gained ground, lauding their "significant strides to improve the functioning of their markets and the allocation of productive resources".
Portugal rose from 51st to 36th, and Greece, from 91st to 81st. Spain remained in 35th place for the second year running.
The WEF also pointed to countries facing "major competitiveness challenges". It cited France and Italy, unchanged at 23rd and 49th respectively, saying they "appear not to have fully engaged in this process".
"While the divide between a highly competitive North and a lagging South and East persists, a new outlook on the European competitiveness divide between countries implementing reforms and those that are not can now also be observed," the WEF said.
Examining eight of the world's largest emerging markets, the WEF said they continued to face difficulties in improving competitiveness. Saudi Arabia fell to 24th from its previous ranking of 20th, while Turkey dropped one notch from 44th, and South Africa dipped to 56th from 53rd.
Mexico slid six places from 55th to 61st, while India dropped 11, sliding from 60th to 71st, and Nigeria was down to 127th from 120th.
The stand-out performer among emerging markets was China, which gained one place, moving to 28th.
The WEF began measuring economic competitiveness in 2004. Its ranking is based on a raft of criteria: institutions, infrastructure and the macroeconomic environment, plus health and education, goods and labour market efficiency, financial market development, technology, market size, business sophistication, and innovation.

Do you suffer from: • IT band irritation? • Bouts with plantar fasciitis? • Inflexible hamstrings and calf muscles? • Piriformis pain?
Are you interested in: • Improving your running by heading off injury? • 3 simple things to help combat your IT band issues? • A straightforward routine to help you alleviate plantar fasciitis? • Gaining more flexibility in your hamstrings and calf muscles? • Overcoming your piriformis pain?
Running presents unique challenges to our bodies. Our muscles act like scaffolding; they protect and support the skeletal structure.

This is a 6 week course based on 2 things: science and results. We'll focus on a very specific area - the kinetic chain of muscles and connective tissue that runners count on, including the plantar fascia, calf muscles, hamstrings and quads, IT bands, tensor fascia lata, glutes and the piriformis. During the 6 weeks you'll learn specific routines that will benefit your running and help keep injuries at bay. We'll focus on working with the calf muscles to increase the range of motion in our ankles and feet. You'll learn methods for keeping IT bands trouble free. We'll practice the most effective ways to develop strong and flexible hamstrings. You'll learn how to avoid and deal with plantar fasciitis. Gain an advantage for your running and maintain and heal these areas of your body.

What are people using for their Bit Torrent client? I need to install one, but want to ensure I don't get anything 'iffy'.
I use Utorrent, have done for years and its by far the best client out there
I use uTorrent speed is generally good, supports UDP TCP and Magnet links also
dont think it has any iffyness to my knowledge
uTorrent - i concur!
uTorrent it is then. Thanks all.
uTorrent for Windows and Transmission for Mac. Boo-yah!
I used Vuze until recently, I seemed to get slightly better speeds than with uTorrent, and it acted as a media bridge to my PS3 so I could watch my (legally, of course!) downloaded movies on the telly. Just lately though it's been crashing on me too regularly for me to put up with it, so I'm back to uTorrent
Have been using Vuze since it was Azureus. Never found fault with it but might take a look at utorrent.
ps3mediaserver - Project Hosting on Google Code
found it fairly robust, and it does transcoding for files the PS3 can't play :-)

Cheers I'll take a look.
I tend to use XBMC now though with a huge HDMI cable from my PC directly to the TV, because I have an android app that acts as a remote control, it's preety nifty
I know I mis-typed pretty, but I'm going to leave it as it is, because I like it.
