text: Turkish Grand Prix first day driver quotes 28 May, 2010 Turkish Grand Prix Friday practice day May.28 (Grand Prix 247) Below are quotes from drivers reflecting after the first day of the Turkish Grand Prix weekend at Istanbul Park. Updated as they become available from the teams. Mark Webber's car gets airlifted after its Renault engine expired Mark Webber – Red Bull Racing RB6: "The engine went at the end of P2, but it was a high mileage engine, so we were expecting it to be on the edge. There's no hand brake on a F1 car so when I stopped I was trying to tell them to put something behind the wheel to stop the car rolling back. A frustrating thing to explain from within the car! We need to analyse the new F-duct system tonight, we know it's not the most straightforward of systems. The guys have done a phenomenal job to get it to this point and we're happy with how it went today but, whether we race it or not, we don't know yet." Sebastian Vettel Sebastian Vettel – Red Bull Racing RB6: "It was a reasonable day – and quite tough as we introduced the F-duct. We still need to do some fine tuning, but it looks good. I think McLaren looks very competitive here, their system seems to be working well and they seem quite a bit quicker than everyone else on the straights. You can make up time in the corners, but there are quite a few straights joining them. We'll see if we keep our system on. It feels more natural now with the new chassis, it was good to change it and overall I was happy with the balance of the car." Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso in the Istanbul paddock Fernando Alonso – Ferrari F10: "Compared to the Spanish Grand Prix, I think the situation is a bit better, down to the fact the track characteristics are different and do not require the maximum aerodynamic downforce, but rather an intermediate level which is better suited to our car. However, it would be a surprise if the Red Bulls were not ahead of everyone. We are thereabouts, behind them along with McLaren: that is my prediction. We tried some solutions for finding the best way to manage the blown rear wing system and have made some progress, even if it is not yet perfect: we will work on it for the upcoming races." Felipe Massa- Ferrari F10: "I was not able to do a time on the soft tyres because I ended up spinning on my first timed lap at turn 8. This was the most inconvenient factor today, as that set of tyres was no longer useable and I had to do almost the entire second session on just one set of the harder compound tyres. The track improved from the morning, bit by bit as the cars did more laps, which is something to bear in mind for the rest of the weekend. We have to improve the car still further to be competitive: McLaren and Red Bull seem very strong here. Having said that, I think we can manage to find the right way to progress to take the fight to them." Jenson Button Jenson Button – McLaren Mercedes MP4-25A-03: "This morning was reasonably good, and this afternoon was better. I was struggling a little through Turn Eight, it's an area we'll be working on overnight because it's pretty tricky through there at the moment. It's a tough corner, especially if the car's moving around – so we've got to hope we can solve some of those issues before tomorrow. The car feels reasonably good around here – there are still some areas where we're not so strong, and the Red Bulls will once again be the cars to beat in qualifying tomorrow, we can't get away from that. I just hope we're closer than we've been in the last two races. I think the Ferrari will be quick here too. It should be the top four teams that we normally see, and possibly Renault as well, so I don't think qualifying tomorrow will be boring. There should be some good battles." Lewis Hamilton Lewis Hamilton – McLaren Mercedes MP4-25A-01: "This is such a great circuit, and the grip didn't seem too bad today. It also seems very tight between all the frontrunners – the times are very close. Our car doesn't seem to be performing too badly, so I'm happy with today's running. Turn Eight is quite bumpy as always, and you could see today that some of the others were having a few difficulties through there, but it wasn't a problem for us. I have no doubts that tomorrow in qualifying the Red Bulls will pull out something extra, which they always seem able to do. We haven't made too many changes to the car for this race, but we've got a chance this weekend, and I think we'll be able to compete with them." Nico Rosberg Nico Rosberg – Mercedes MGP W01/02: "We made some good progress today and have been working hard with our updates for the car. It wasn't a perfect day as we lost some time in the process of evaluating the new developments, particularly in the second session, so I was playing catch-up this afternoon. However we achieved a lot of interesting work and arrived at a decent balance by the end of the day so I am reasonably happy. We have a few question marks remaining and it will be a busy final practice session tomorrow. The early indications are that we have made a decent step forward and although we don't know how much yet, it is a good job from the guys at the factory and at the track to get everything here and working." Michael Schumacher Michael Schumacher – Mercedes MGP W01/01: "It's really difficult to judge what the current picture is after today's practice sessions, especially as we don't know who was running on what fuel loads. We certainly have some improvements on the car which you can notice but it is very difficult to quantify the full effects coming from Monaco to here and thus not having a clear reference and comparison. Clearly the improvements are in the right direction but as always it is a matter of how quick we develop compared to our competitors. Turn eight is still a nice challenge here. It has small surprises in terms of bumps and it is fun to drive obviously. It is exciting and technical at the same time. Let's wait and see what is going to happen tomorrow." Robert Kubica Robert Kubica – Renault R30-03: "This morning the track conditions were not ideal but we did a couple of runs to evaluate the balance of the car and to decide which direction we should take with the set-up. We also did a comparison with the new front wing, which seemed to give us an improvement compared with the previous wing. In the afternoon we mainly concentrated on improving the balance of the car and I did a long run with the option tyre to check the degradation rates. Everything is working pretty well, but we just need to improve the balance a bit more before qualifying." Vitaly Petrov Vitaly Petrov – Renault R30-02: "I'm pleased to be back here in Istanbul Park because it's a circuit that I enjoy and I won the GP2 race here last year. The track conditions today were not great to begin with and the track was quite dirty, but it was the same for everybody and hopefully it will improve during the weekend. Overall it was a fairly normal day because we started with a basic set-up and just tried to improve the balance in the morning and the afternoon. The car felt quite good by the end of the day, but we can still improve it, so I will work my engineers tonight to be ready for final practice tomorrow morning." Vitantonio Liuzzi passes Adrian Sutil in first practice Adrian Sutil – Force India VJM03/03: We got as much data as we could on the new developments we have this weekend. The morning was pretty useful to get the first information about our switchable rear wing, and we also got a lot of running in on the hard tyre. Unfortunately I had an accident towards the end of this session – I got some understeer through turn eight and went wide on the marbles and that was it really, I was into the barriers. I was OK but the front right s uspension was pretty damaged. The team did a fantastic job to get me out in the second session and we made a few runs to at least get some data on the option tyres. At this stage it's good to get the information, we'll look at it tonight and see how we can make some improvements for tomorrow. Tonio Liuzzi – Force India VJM03/04: It was quite a productive day today. In the afternoon the balance of the car was not ideal, but in the morning it was good and we could get some useful data on the new SRW. I think it's working pretty well, it's a clever solution to it and not too difficult to use considering what you have to do. We made some progress to understand it over the two sessions so now we just need to work on the balance as we are still not in the right ball park just yet. Overall a positive day and I can definitely feel an improvement over the last weekend with the car. Nico Hulkenberg – AT&T Williams Fw32: "Today was a typical Friday. We had a problem in the afternoon with a hydraulic leak, but we still managed quite a few laps and covered everything that we wanted to test. We will see where we are tomorrow." Rubens Barrichello – AT&T Williams Fw32: "I had a busy day. The car didn't really perform that well so we need to search the data tonight to see what we can find for qualifying." Jaime Alguersuari Sébastien Buemi – Scuderia Toro Rosso STR5-02: "We had a lot of things to test today and the programme went quite smoothly. I think we have seen what we needed to see from the data side, so we have a clear picture of the car, which is positive. It was a good day for us, even if the circuit was very dirty this morning and took a long time to clean up. The high temperatures were useful, as it should be like this on race day and at the moment I am feeling quite confident for the rest of the weekend." Jaime Alguersuari – Scuderia Toro Rosso STR5-03: "To be honest, I find it difficult to assess how we got on today. We tried lots of different things on the car and my team-mate was on a different programme, so it will be up to the engineers to analyse what we have done. From inside the car, I never felt I had a good grip level. Overall, I am not so happy with today's performance but hopefully we can put everything together and have a much better day tomorrow. It's my first time here and I enjoyed the circuit which is interesting and challenging with a good mix of high and medium speed corners." Kamui Kobayashi Kamui Kobayashi – Sauber C29.01: "To me the balance of the car felt fine but we do have two areas to look at. We have a lack of grip and we are too slow on the straights. If you work on one issue you tend to increase the other one. But we will find a good compromise. I enjoyed driving a lot and as we had no trouble with the car it was a productive day for us." Pedro de la Rosa – Sauber C29.03: "In the afternoon we had a very good test with comparing the race tyres – the harder prime compound versus the softer option compound. We did a lot of race preparation today which went very well. The long runs were good and pretty consistent. What we still need to work on is to find the right balance with new tyres." Heikki Kovalainen Heikki Kovalainen – Lotus Cosworth T127-01: "It was a very good Friday again for me. I had a really good first session this morning, with no problems with the car and we were again able to improve the setup. The track felt good all day, a little dusty to begin with, but it cleared quickly and overall it felt great all day. This afternoon we were able to try both tyre compounds and successfully got through all our plans, so I couldn't really ask for more." Jarno Trulli Lotus Cosworth T127-03: "A bit more bad luck for me today as this afternoon's session was cut short by losing third gear. We'd planned to do some setup work in the second session, and didn't get the chance to do so, but against that you can look at the times and see that we have continued to move forward overall with the car. We are moving away from the other new teams, and closer to those in front – obviously we still have a lot of work to do, but it's pleasing to see we are going in the right direction." Lucas di Grassi Timo Glock – Virgin Racing VR01: "Today hasn't been the best start to the weekend. We experienced a lot of balance problems with the car and this morning I was worried because it looked like we were going backwards rather than moving forward in the way we had hoped. Things were a bit better this afternoon but we have to home in on what is causing us the problem and find a solution overnight so that we can improve for tomorrow. Generally, at this stage, we have a big gap to close at the moment." Lucas di Grassi – Virgin Racing VR01: "We've had a trouble-free and productive day in terms of completing our programme. Having said that, the set-up is far from perfect so we have a lot of work to do to find some solutions and improve the car for tomorrow. Despite this, it is good to have the revised car for the first time and to know that I will be able to push it on Sunday." Karun Chandhok – Hispania Racing: "It was a bit of a tough day for me. We had some mechanical issues in FP1 which cost track time and this afternoon we evaluated some modifications on the brake system on my car. I had some issues on the option tyre runs at the end which we have to look into overnight but thus far we seem to be at a similar level as Barcelona relative to Lotus. It was a bit abnormal to do my best time on the prime tyre but I just struggled for rear end grip on the options." Bruno Senna – Hispania Racing: "Today was okay but it was a bit different to be a spectator like I was in the morning session as Sakon was driving my car. In the afternoon session, I came back to my duties. We are working hard and tried to improve car balance on the track to get the car a little bit better for tomorrow. I completed 35 laps wit no major issues. I was running high fuel during the session." Sakon Yamamoto – Hispania Racing:"Today was a fantastic day! I am very happy to be back behind the wheel of a Formula 1™ car and its great to be part of a team such as Hispania Racing, HRT F1 Team. Everything went quite well and I managed to complete a full 26 laps of the Istanbul Park circuit. We made some good progress and are already working to improve the performance so we can achieve even better lap times." Tweet

Exclusive: MSLO Faces Discrimination Suit After Firing 'Phenomenal' Staffer With Broken Back
(From left: Kiki Paris before her accident, and afterwards wearing a halo neckbrace and holding her separation papers from MSLO)
In May 2008, Kiki Paris, a senior director of national accounts at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia's Body + Soul magazine fractured her spine after being hit by a car. Paris underwent surgery to screw her fractured vertebrae together and was placed in a halo neckbrace for 12 weeks to immobilize her spine. According to Paris, her supervisors at Body + Soul pressured her to go off disability and begin working from home nine weeks after her accident. Less than a month after she returned to work, Body + Soul executives came to her house and laid her off. Now, Paris has filed a disability discrimination claim against her former employers with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and her case may be headed to court.

Team player: McLean would play anywhere to help the Hawks
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — Alex McLean had a number of memorable moments in a standout season with the Marshwood High School boys soccer team. But the one he remembers the fondest was a game in which he was decidedly not the star.
"I just needed to be on the field to help them," McLean said. "I felt awful because I wasn't there and it kind of stunk to be on the bench when they came back. But I wanted to be in that game. It was nerve-wracking. There was a (Noble) penalty shot at the end, but the kid missed it."
For his part, McLean prefers playing up front, but just wants to be on the field.
McLean started playing soccer when he was 5 with the Eliot Rec Department. He said soccer and baseball are tied for his No. 1 sport.

Miami Heat Playoff Games Will Look like Goth Festivals
Categories: Sports
"Black is Back 2010 re-establishes the color Black as the focal point for all playoff-related activities, with the color Black serving as a community-wide rallying point; something everyone in South Florida can get behind and participate in. Black will not only be the color fans wear to the game, it will become a recognizable symbol of support for the HEAT in all daily activities," read the press release.
It's very chic, no?
Of course, we don't care what gimmick the marketing department pushes out. We just want to see the Heat win, win, win until our heads explode in a rainbow of joy when they take home the championship. Which will happen. And if it doesn't, well, at least we'll all be dressed in the appropriate color.
The Heat take on the Celtics in Boston tomorrow night at 8 p.m.
To get in the mood we wanted to play some AC/DC, but YouTube embedding is blocked. Instead enjoy this version of "Back in Black" by the Foo Fighters and Jack Black.

Drinking water is imperiledMay 16,2014To citizens of Vermont: Your capital citys drinking water is threatened.
Two years ago, our Supreme Court voted to allow open access to year-round fishing, seasonal canoeing and kayaking, and even swimming in Montpeliers sole source of drinking water, Berlin Pond. You may have driven by the pond, on the west side of I-89 at Exit 7. Before May 2012, the pond was off limits to any recreation other than bird watching from its shores or running, walking or cycling on the surrounding roadways. Berlin Pond, a small, shallow, and silt-bottomed body has already changed.
The drinking water of our capital city is now additionally threatened by a proposal to increase open access with the construction of a boat launch and boat washing station on the pond, bringing with it the possibility of gasoline and other fuel leaks from snowmobiles, trucks, or ice augers, all of which transportation and recreation devices are currently allowed on or near the pond. Prolonged or increased human contact will necessitate the increase of chlorine, a known carcinogen, to disinfect Montpeliers drinking water, and without expensive changes to the filtration plant, petroleum contamination cannot be filtered or even detected. Water recreation on a municipal drinking water source the size of Berlin Pond should not be allowed. Excellent fishing and boating ponds, lakes, and rivers abound in our beautiful state, many within an hours drive of the capital area.
Citizens To Protect Berlin Pond (CTPBP) has petitioned our states Agency of Natural Resources to restore the pond to its protected status. On Tuesday, May 27, 6 to 8 p.m., at the Berlin Elementary School, in Berlin, the ANR will hold a public hearing on this petition. The number of people present at this hearing who are in favor of returning the pond to full protection will impact the ANRs final decision. We are asking everyone who cares about clean drinking water to be present.
The CTPBP petition has the full backing of Montpelier Mayor John Hollar, and of the Montpelier City Council, Montpelier Conservation Commission, and Berlin Conservation Commission.
Please contact your legislators, Laura Wood at the Department of Environmental Conservation, and ANR Secretary Deborah Markowitz about this matter. Please use respectful, concisely worded, and proofread phrasing. As you know, our state is recognized as a national leader in environmental protection. To have its capital citys drinking water supply marginalized would have, we believe, consequences far beyond Vermont. This is not a Montpelier problem. The ANR decision will affect every city and town and hamlet in our state and will have a long-term ripple effect across our nation.

Elderly suffer when decisions about their care are unclear
TERRY SAVAGE firstname.lastname@example.com July 15, 2012 7:18PM
Melissa Levine of Northbrook fills out paperwork for the Lacey Horwitch bone marrow drive at Highland Park's North Suburban Synagogue Beth El at 1175 Sheridan Road. Karie Angell Luc~for Sun-Times Media
Updated: May 3, 2013 12:15PM
When is it elder abuse — and when is it an adult child trying to make arrangements for a parent who is losing the ability to cope with the daily activities of living?
Every day, police and social workers and others face these decisions, and last week, it was my turn. It was pure coincidence that a friend was checking into a small hotel and ran into an elderly woman sitting in the lobby and crying. After she calmed down, she explained — and her story was backed up by the desk clerk — that her daughter had come with a power of attorney, and the police, and had moved her husband of 62 years to a nursing facility. She said they wouldn't let her come to visit.
She was staying alone in the hotel, with a little money and their small dog. When she revealed that she and her husband had a substantial sum of money in the bank as a result of selling their home, I grew more concerned. Financial elder abuse is a growing crime. Sadly, the statistics reveal that elder abuse is almost always a family crime.
The most recent reliable study of elder abuse was done by the National Center on Elder Abuse in 2005. But according to that report, between 1 million and 2 million Americans age 65 or older have been injured, exploited, or otherwise mistreated by someone on whom they depended for care or protection.
It's as difficult to imagine a family taking advantage of an elderly parent as it is to imagine parents who would abuse their children. But it happens with even more frequency in these tough economic times.
Get involved
How could anyone who suspects this kind of treatment stand by and not get involved? That certainly wasn't something I could forget. So I called the local suburban police department, and police and a social worker came right over to interview the woman. She was distraught but able to answer all their questions. Because of the woman's allegations that the daughter now controlled her bank account, an investigation was opened, and I left satisfied that her complaints would be heard.
The next day I went back to the hotel, drove her to the nursing home and witnessed a very tender reunion with her husband. I also met her daughter, an aide at the facility, and heard the other side of the story. She said she had no choice as her father is suffering from Alzheimer's and her mother could not take care of him. She gave me a long list of their dangerous experiences and her multiple interventions in their living conditions. She was hoping to move her mother into the assisted-living section of the nursing home, keeping them at least in the same building. And she would use their money to pay for it, saying she didn't want a penny for herself.
So what was the final word, you might be wondering? I cannot really tell you yet how it will work out, or whom I believed most. The police are still investigating the financial aspects, social services will stay on top of the situation — and I promised to visit again to make sure her move in to the assisted-living facility goes smoothly. I left them holding hands, agreeing that being near each other was most important.
The big questions
You can't have participated in this experience without thinking about yourself and your family. What plans have you made? What documents have you executed? What relative or friend do you trust to make these decisions for you — when you are least able to be heard, and most likely to be confused and resentful of changes forced on you?
Now is the time to make a revocable living trust, naming a successor trustee to handle your financial affairs if you are in an accident or unable to make decisions for yourself. And now is the time to create a health-care power of attorney and a living will. And if you need help finding resources to do this, I recommend going to www.naela.org — the National Association of Elder Law Attorneys. There you can find links to a list of elder law specialists in your community.
And if you suspect elder abuse, contact the National Center on Elder Abuse, a part of the U.S. Administration on Aging, at www.ncea.aoa.gov or contact them at 1-855-500-3537 (ELDR).
Their website home page has quick links to both statistics and resources in every state, including telephone hotlines to report abuse. And for eldercare resources in your community available to those who have elderly parents or neighbors, go directly to www.eldercare.gov.
The 7th Annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day was just a few weeks ago, on June 15th, 2012. I missed that day, never noticing the media promotion. But I didn't miss a chance to step in a few days ago. And I know that if everyone who reads this column would just speak up and report suspected elder abuse, we could all make a big difference for the generation that made it possible for us to be here. And that's The Savage Truth.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Gaming the Russell Rebalancing
Click here for an archive of Cramer's "Mad Money" recaps.
The Russell 2000 index is the key to this year's trades, he told viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Thursday.
When a company gets added to the index, the biggest advantage is that the stock gets a lot more attention and promotion, Cramer said.Every year, the Russell indexes (not indices), he explained, need to be rebalanced because of certain stipulations the indexes have. The annual rebalancing of the Russell 2000 index, which is made up of 2000 small-cap stocks, will take place in June this year. To be eligible for the Russell, which makes up its own rules, a stock must have a market capitalization of $233 million to $3 billion, trade on a major exchange and trade at more than $1, among other conditions, Cramer said. On June 22, the Russell 2000 will be reconstituted, and all companies that don't meet the criteria will be "purged and replaced," Cramer said. "The additions and deletions are based on stock prices as of today's close."

Does Jim Pitts live in District 10?
WAXAHACHIE – Jim Pitts said rumors circulating Ellis County about him not living in Waxahachie can now be safely put to rest.
A fellow state representative, who asked that her name not be used, alleged to The Ellis County Press that Pitts, who was first elected in 1992, lives in Highland Park.
Pitts, R-Waxahachie, said he resides at his home in Waxahachie on Sycamore and only lives away when he's in Austin during legislative sessions.
"I'm an Ellis County man all the way," he said.
The state representative, who was the state budget chairman two sessions ago and who is waging a campaign for speaker of the house, has a Libertarian opponent in the fall. Aside from Austin duties, Pitts said he vacations at a nearby lake and visits his children "from time to time.

Prepare for anything as you wind through the best single track in the Cedar Valley. Rock gardens, lung busting climbs, an obstacle course, and a sand hill that will make this event the only topic around the water cooler Monday morning. Fox River socks and a hug from Jeff Slade to pre-registered athletes, sweet awards and prizes, free massages, and demos from the title sponsors (read: Bike Tech and Ergon).
If you don't show...may your head be eternally filled with Michael Bolton songs. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

The alchemy of turning lightning into gear comes to fruition.
You might be wondering if the K2 Bolt Ski with Marker MX 14.0 Binding is as fast as the name might imply. Yes, it is. This is the flagship of K2's turn-trenching, Mach-speed armada of frontside skis, and it specializes in an unshakable hold throughout medium to long-radius turns. The Bolt gives expert-level skiers a stable and highly-responsive platform for crushing groomed run at lightning speed, because of the Rox Technology, which is the careful balance of Speed Rocker, Carbon Web, Mod Suspension, and primary core and structural layers.
The Bolt boasts an elevated Speed Rocker tip that gives this ski a 10/90 rocker-to-camber balance and creates near effortless turn initiation and smooth-as-silk transitions between deep, aggressive turns, while camber along the rest of the ski provides precise and steadfast power and edge hold on hard, groomed surfaces. Metal Laminate (alternating layers of fiberglass and full-length sheets of Titanal metal above and below the wood core) is K2's most complex construction, and it creates a high-performance platform that's stiff, damp, and stable at speed. Mod Suspension is a secondary core that lies on top of the ski's primary core and absorbs vibrations from choppy terrain and dampens the ski to increase overall ski control and reduce tip skipping or wandering at speed. Hybritech Sidewalls blend sidewall and cap construction to give this ski both the power and edging accuracy of sidewall construction and the lightweight feel and smooth turn initiation of cap construction. Carbon Web is an x-shaped carbon support that sits on the top sheet, far from the core, where this support independently increases torsional rigidity without affecting overall longitudinal flex (tip to tail flex).
The included MX 14.0 ski binding directly attaches to the M3 binder mounting plate via the imbedded Titanal hubs and operates as an integrated system. It utilizes Inter-Pivot Heel technology and the lightweight Triple-Pivot Comfort MX toe piece for extra safety. The MX 14.0 is adjustable up to an expert-level 14.0 DIN setting in order to provide the most precise control.

BY MIRIAM DI NUNZIO Staff email@example.com October 30, 2012 1:06PM
George Wendt was forced to leave the Northlight Theater production of "The Odd Couple" due to health reasons. | RICH HEIN ~ SUN-TIMES
Updated: October 30, 2012 7:45PM
Actor George Wendt was hospitalized Sunday night, and as a result will be leaving his role as Oscar Madison in the Northlight Theatre production of "The Odd Couple" opposite Tim Kazurkinsky, who is starring as Felix Unger. The 64-year-old actor, best known for his role as Norm on the television series "Cheers," had complained of chest pains and checked into a local hospital late Sunday. He is now receiving medical care and is expceted to make a full recovery, according to a prepared statement released by the theater. Mark Grapey (who was playing Murray the cop) is stepping into the role of Oscar.
"George is family to us at Northlight and we wish him well for a complete and speedy recovery. He will be missed in the rehearsal room and on stage," said "Odd Couple" director BJ Jones. "We are so fortunate to have the brilliant Chicago actor Marc Grapey on our team, who was in the Broadway company of 'The Odd Couple,' covering for both Nathan Lane and going on for Matthew Broderick. Marc will step in to the role and we couldn't be more pleased to have his talent and energy in the cast."
The play begins previews on Nov. 2 and runs through Dec. 9 at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie.

'Nothing happens when you sit at home. I always make it a point to carry a camera with me at all times…I just shoot at what interests me at that moment.'
Elliott Erwitt
Having just cycled into Yunnan in Southern China I have been able to make some time and upload some photographs from Northern Laos. This far north the Mekong is at her wildest and the languid river that meandered through Cambodia and Southern Laos began to become narrow and fast moving. This does not stop the locals here making the most of this natural waterway. As I cycled along the river from Vientiane, through Luang Prabang and along the border with Burma I was able to witness first hand how important the Mekong is to the people of Laos. Whether washing, swimming, fishing, panning for gold or simply getting from A to B the 'riverine' life of Northern Laos is fascinating and delicious and I hope these images give you some idea of what it looks and tastes like.

Parks Add Options for Kids' Exercise, Study Finds
Certain features of outdoor spaces help cut sedentary indoor time, Australian researchers say
FRIDAY, March 4 (HealthDay News) -- Children are more likely to be physically active if they have good parks and playgrounds in their neighborhoods, researchers report.
The study authors asked the parents of 171 nine-year-old children to give their opinions about outdoor public spaces in their neighborhoods and to estimate the amount of time their children spent watching television, using the computer and playing video games.
The Australian researchers, from the Center for Physical Activity and Nutrition Research at Deakin University, also conducted their own assessment of local outdoor public spaces and how sedentary the children were outside of school hours.
The more satisfied parents were with the quality of their neighborhood parks and playgrounds, the less time their children spent engaging in sedentary activities such as watching television and using computers.
Among the specific findings: children who lived near a large public open space with a water feature and those who lived on a cul-de-sac spent less time in front of the television or computer than those who had a walking path in the park closest to their home.
The study was released online in advance of publication in an upcoming print issue of the journal Annals of Behavioral Medicine.
These findings highlight "the complexity of designing communities to meet the needs of residents across the life-course," Jenny Veitch and colleagues concluded in a news release from the journal's publisher.

With snowfall last night and this morning causing school districts around the area to close on Monday, the regularly scheduled Washington County School Board meeting will be held with a change in venue.

Tom Logsdon left Springfield long ago, but when he did, he took the initiative to put Washington County on the map in the world of advanced mathematics and the aerospace studies.
Logsdon, a 1955 graduate of Springfield High School, was born and raised by Stanley and Margaret Logsdon on Lebanon Hill in Springfield in a community that he describes as "a treasure swarming with cordial neighbors situated in the middle of a wonderfully friendly state."
The Washington County Fiscal Court met in regular session this past Monday, where one of the main topics was a recent problem with Lewis Realty out of Elizabethtown.
The realtors had not received permission from the planning and zoning committee before trying to subdivide tracts of land on the sale of the Hall property on 2418 Jimtown Road in Springfield. Prior to the auction on Oct. 18, Planning and Zoning Commissioner Buddy Parker contacted Lewis Realty and informed them that they had not received permission from the committee.
Last week's midterm election in Washington County led to several new faces taking office, and 55 percent of registered voters made it to the polls to have a say in the results.
The election was highlighted by Debbie Wakefield taking the office of Springfield mayor, Jerry Pinkston taking over the sheriff position for the retiring Tommy Bartley and Bill Robinson taking over as county attorney with Hamilton Simms stepping down.
Though representatives from Ross Tarrant Architects stated at last month's Washington County School Board meeting that the construction of the new high school was substantially complete for beneficial occupancy, the district has recently shared a differing view on the project's progress.
Ed O'Daniel, attorney for the school board, was on hand at a special called meeting last Thursday to share his recommendation with school officials after reviewing information regarding the project.
Fifty years in any field is an impressive accomplishment, but 50 years in the business of skydiving is a whole other feat altogether.
Last Friday at Arnold's Airport in Springfield, Bob Boswell celebrated just that, jumping from a plane on a chilly morning to commemorate the date when his life in the sky began.
Boswell's first experience with skydiving came in 1964 when he was fresh out of high school and he had joined an apprentice program.

(AP) After several years of taking a beating, the coal industry was on the rebound this year as mining projects moved forward in the Western U.S. and demand for the fuel began to rise, especially in Asia.
But almost overnight, coal is back on the defensive, scrambling to stave off President Barack Obama's renewed push to rein in climate change.
The administration's proposal would put facilities like Montana's 2,100-megawatt Colstrip electricity plant in regulators' cross hairs. That could have spin-off implications for the massive strip mines that dot the surrounding Powder River Basin and provide the bulk of the nation's coal.
Colstrip burns about 10 million tons of coal a year, serving customers as far away as Washington state, and produces as much carbon dioxide as roughly 3 million cars.

He was married to Sophie Roman on Aug. 31, 1940, at St. Michael Catholic Church in Junction City.
He served in the U.S. Navy during World War II from 1943 to Oct. 9, 1945. He served on the USS Chincoteague as a yeoman third class in the invasion of Iwo Jima. He was awarded the Asiatic, Pacific and American Theater medals and three Bronze Stars.
He worked at Lullabye Furniture in Stevens Point for 17 years and then at Nekoosa Edwards Paper Co. (now Georgia-Pacific) for 25 years, retiring on Oct. 1, 1978.

Remembering the Gulf, looking forward to Southeast Asia
By Phillip Jordan
During Thursday's closing ceremonies for the 25th annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project, President Carter challenged volunteers to remember the Gulf Coast long after they leave. Return to volunteer again, he instructed. Tell others to get involved. Don't let anyone forget.
"Habitat needs 600 volunteers every day on the Gulf Coast," Carter said. "This is a step on a long road to make this a beautiful place in America once again."
This year's build is also only one stop on the Carters' journey with Habitat. After a quarter-century building, the Carters still aren't ready to hang up their tool belts.
The next Carter Work Project, "The Mekong Build 2009," will build homes in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and China along the Mekong River. Thursday evening, the Carters passed ceremonial trowels to Habitat for Humanity Thailand Chair Chainarong Monthienvichienchai and Habitat for Humanity Thailand CEO Panida Panyangarm.
This will be the fourth time the Carter Work Project has headed to Asia. Previous builds have been in the Philippines, South Korea and India. Habitat for Humanity has worked in Southeast Asia for more than a decade.
"Habitat helped 24,000 families in Asia last year," said Habitat for Humanity International CEO Jonathan Reckford. "But the need is breathtaking there."
And just as this year's build highlighted the housing crisis that still exists three years after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita struck the U.S. Gulf Coast, next year's event will emphasize the great need that remains for the multitude still affected by the tsunami of 2004.
Sandra Strassner, a registered nurse from Houston and a first aid volunteer this week in Biloxi, was more than elated at the news of the Mekong project.
"It's an answer to prayer," she said. "For years I've been praying Jimmy Carter would take veterans back to Vietnam. For healing. It will be so healing."
Presidential tears
During the week, the Carters helped build in locations throughout the Gulf: Pascagoula, Biloxi and Bay St. Louis, Miss.; Mobile, Ala.; New Orleans and Covington, La.
"Today, I've only cried three times," Carter said, after describing conversations he had with future homeowners at different work sites.
"I cried a lot more than three times," Rosalynn Carter said, with a laugh. "I even cried during the videos tonight."
"Jimmy and I get so much credit — too much credit," she told the crowd of volunteers. "But you are the ones who do the work … There would be no Habitat for Humanity without you."
Reckford presented the Carters with a painting that included representations of all the types of houses that they have helped build over the past 25 years. He then thanked the Carters for once again being "the hands and feet of Christ in such a tangible way."
Rain forced Thursday's evening closing ceremonies indoors. After a day spent battling the elements, volunteers knocked the caked mud off their work boots and marched into the Magnolia Ballroom at the Beau Rivage Hotel and Casino to celebrate their work.
As many speakers noted, however, the rain did not force a halt in building. All told, more than 5,000 volunteers throughout the Gulf Coast this week have helped bring 250 more families closer to their dream of owning a home.
"You have quite an accomplishment," said Chris Monforton, CEO of Habitat for Humanity of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. "We have a lot to be excited about."
Monforton specifically thanked everyone for sacrificing their time and energy to be in the Gulf. He also put into perspective how long the road to recovery has been. When he first moved his family to the Gulf Coast after the hurricanes of 2005, his wife was pregnant with their first child. While thanking his wife for her support, Monforton's voice broke.
"Four months ago, she blessed me with a second child," he said.
Monforton then expressed his gratitude to the Carters for the attention this week, but said this week is really all about the families Habitat builds with.
One of those families also took the stage.
Daisy Garner, a future homeowner in Pascagoula, said she was thankful for all the focus on Habitat's work in the local newspapers and on television during the week. "You hardly ever see good news anymore," she said.
With her son, Will, on stage by her side, she added, "Words can't describe the way I feel about how you all have treated us." Her house will be dedicated Friday.

According to an MLB.com report, the Arizona Diamondbacks have narrowed the field of candidates to be their next GM to two -- and Angels' director of scouting Eddie Bane is not one of them.
The Diamondbacks are apparently going to choose between former Padres GM Kevin Towers and their own current interim GM Jerry Dipoto. Towers has been considered the front-runner since the search process began with salary the main sticking point.
Bane and two Dodgers assistant GMs (Logan White and DeJon Watson) also interviewed with the Diamondbacks last week.
