Zeroes keep piling up as Marlins endure three shutout losses in row to Brewers
The Marlins have gone 37 consecutive innings without scoring — the longest drought in the major leagues since 1985.
The goose eggs are piling up to staggering heights for the punchless Marlins.
With a 1-0 loss in 13 innings on Sunday to the Milwaukee Brewers, the Marlins extended their streak of consecutive innings without scoring a run to 37 — the longest drought in the majors since 1985.
"Well, I'm glad I can be a part of that," first baseman Logan Morrison said, his voice dripping with sarcasm, after the Marlins were blanked by the Brewers a third consecutive day at Miller Park.
Said rookie third baseman Ed Lucas, pretty much summing up the situation for everyone: "It's pretty embarrassing to have a three-game series like that where you don't get a run."
The Marlins have not scored since the third inning on July 14 in their final game before the All-Star break. Since then, it has been nothing but zeroes.
They totaled only 15 hits the entire weekend series, which covered 31 fruitless innings. Six of those hits belonged to one player, Adeiny Hechavarria. On Sunday, the Marlins managed only four hits — two by Hechavarria and another by pitcher Henderson Alvarez.
The Marlins didn't even manage to get a runner to third on Sunday.
"Hechy's swinging the bat," Redmond said. "But, to see every single guy in the lineup struggle, I don't know if I've ever seen that before. Ever.
"To get completely shut down in the best hitter's ballpark in all of baseball is unbelievable. I can't believe it."
Believe it.
The previous longest drought by a Marlins team was 30 consecutive scoreless innings in August of last season. That was also the only other time they were shut out in three games in a row. The major-league record for consecutive shutout losses is four. Coors Field is a hitter's park. But so is Miller Park.
"We go to Colorado," Morrision said. "There's a lot of grass there. So, hopefully, we'll find some — in the outfield."
The 37-inning drought is the longest in the majors since the Houston Astros went 42 consecutive scoreless innings in 1985.
Other than Hechavarria, pretty much every member of the Marlins lineup is slumping. Justin Ruggiano has gone hitless in his past 27 at-bats. Marcell Ozuna is 3 for his last 38. Giancarlo Stanton is hitting .175 in July.
"Right now, it's a little tough to watch," Redmond said.
After a successful June and start to July, the Marlins thought their days of scuffling at the plate were behind them. After being shut out 10 times early in the season, they entered the Milwaukee series having not been blanked since May 22.
On Sunday, Alvarez turned in his most impressive performance since joining the Marlins, delivering seven shutout innings against the Brewers.
But it wasn't enough.
"We put so much pressure on our pitching to be perfect because we don't score runs," Redmond said. "If we can't push across a couple of runs, that's what you get."
The Marlins bullpen finally cracked in the 13th when Caleb Gindl swatted Ryan Webb's second pitch of the inning over the fence in left for the game-ending homer, his first career home run.
Webb didn't think the ball was gone when it left Gindl's bat.
"I thought it as a popup foul," Webb said. "The ball kept going."
Thanks in large part to the Marlins, the Brewers set a franchise record by not allowing a run in 35 consecutive innings.
Sunday marked only the second extra-inning shutout loss in Marlins history, joining a 3-0 defeat to the Padres in 11 innings during the 1996 season.

Man apprehended in Mass. for striking Salem police officer during vehicle stop
David Babcock is expected to be arraigned on Tuesday morning on a variety of charges related to him allegedly trying to mow down two police officers who attempted to stop him on a dead end street.
Babcock faces charges of first-degree assault, attempted first-degree assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
A resident of South Policy Street called police about 7:20 p.m., reporting that an intoxicated man had just come to his door, asking for directions, police said.
The resident was concerned because the driver had a child in his truck, according to police.
Police had located the vehicle and stopped it on a dead-end street, Muse Terrace, a short time later.
After the truck was pulled over, Babcock allegedly drove away from the officers, made a U-turn and steered the Chevy Silverado at them, police said.
Police said Babcock revved the truck's engine, causing its tires to spin, before driving at the two officers and striking one in the knee. The officer, who has not yet been named, jumped on the hood of a police cruiser to escape from being injured further, police said.
The officer sustained a non-life threatening injury to his leg. Babcock allegedly sped off in the truck. The officers continued their pursuit of the truck but lost sight of it in the area of Pleasant Street and South Policy Road.
Police were able to track down the driver through the description of the truck and its Massachusetts registration. The truck was registered to a woman in Lowell, Mass, police said.
Lowell police were called, and their dispatchers were able to send Salem officers a photo of the truck owner's boyfriend.
Babcock was identified as the driver of the Chevy truck by both investigating officers, police said.
At 8:30 pm Lowell police took Babcock into custody and held him pending extradition as a fugitive from justice. The injured officer has been released from a local hospital.

The naseau is incressed probably due to the amount of caffeine in it. I laugh at people who say that they take this for a migraine. Obviously they never had a real one.

Essentials list for a week in the sun!(38 Posts)
So, I haven't been on holiday abroad for what seems like a lifetime. My youngest (6) has never been, and my older two have only very distant memories.
We have booked as cheaply as possible, including limiting luggage (although we each have 5kg of handluggage) so I don't want to go overboard and just want to take essentials. There are 5 of us and we are going All Inclusive to Spain for one week.
My list so far consists of:
Euros (have no idea how much to take)
Small medicine box with painkillers, plasters, immodium, diarolyte and anti-histamines - anything I've missed?
Sun lotion (again have no idea how much to take)
After sun (see recurring theme above!)
Beach towels (I'm assuming one each?)
Travel plug
General toiletries including toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo etc
3 pairs of shoes each (one to travel, one day, one night)
4 bikini's/costumes each
7 x evening outfits
7 x day outfits
Cardigan/light jacket in case it gets cold
There are probably a million things I've left out - help!
unless it is October, forget hairdryer and straighteners. To dry hair, sit on balcony for 10 minutes. Too hot for straighteners.
take about £50 in Euros. If there is a cash machine in reach, just draw out more if you need it (Tell your bank where you will be).
two evening outfits (alternate for adults) not 7. More for messy eaters.
insect repellent - 30% Deet
forget aftersun, useless. More suncream so you don't get burnt. Kids should be in sunsuits/rash vests.
insurance docs and your EHICs if this is Europe.
guidebook for the area, you may be going AI but you should get out.
doh...of course it is Europe, you said Euros!
Cheers for that
What are EHIC's?
I hadn't thought to tell the bank ... good idea.
Missed insect repellant too -v Yes, definitely need that.
But only two outfits? Really?
As well as travel insurance You NEED to all have EHIC cards(European Health Ins Cards (These are free - don't go on a site that wants to charge) Also a lot of AI provide beach/pool towels for a returnable deposit - check with your hotel because this can save you some packing space. Overestimate for the 6 year old clothes wise due to possible multiple changes due to ice cream, pop accidents etc. Remember also that you can't carry any liquids more than 100mls in hand luggage and any under that you do carry need to be in resealable plastic bag. This includes make up suncream even mascara
according to one over zealous checker we went with I'm still thinking - forgive me if any of the above seems obvious!!
As for money - it depends ( I make mine aware before they go - its the AI food and drink only!! - no use paying for AI then buying elsewhere!! I only spend on newspapers,slot machine type kids entertainment and things like pedaloes etc I only take so much in Euros then have a credit card back up for trips etc
Righto, so I need EHIC's - where do I get these?
Thanks for the packing tips ...I have no idea with any of this
Great, thanks
I think you could cut the number of outfits per person and if you wear separates in different combinations you can get two wears from each.
Check your accommodation has a hairdryer, they often do so you could leave that at home.
Beach towels one each, but check if towels are supplied for the pool at the place you're staying. That said some will only allow you to use them at the pool and not the beach. We have found microfibre towels really good and absorbent, also quick drying and light and compact. You can get them in Outdoor/ hiking/ camping shops and also places like TKMaxx. We have one beach towel to lie on and use these to dry off after a swim, also handy if you go on a boat trip and they have a swim stop.
Money depends on how much you will need to spend outside the A.I. We have started to use a travel debit card, you load what you need onto it and use as a normal debit card, it's pin protected. You can get money from cash machines too. You need to keep tabs on what you've spent, but if it gets stolen the thief cannot access your bank account because it is completely separate and not linked. Thomas Cook and Thomsons both do them. I would still take a bit of currency as well and credit card.
Medicine/first aid, a few antiseptic wipes are useful to go with the plasters.
I love the idea of the travel debit card!
Yes, I think I'll go with the combination separated clothes for me and dh, but maybe stick with an outfit per day for the children.
Would it be a good idea to put the children's clothes into the hands luggage?
Can you use a holdall for hand luggage or had it git to be a 50x40x20cm-type case?
*has it got to be. Grrr
You can use any shape of bag for hand luggage as long as it weighs less than 5kg and fits in the overhead locker or under the plane seat. We take a change of clothes each (shorts, top, underwear) in our hand luggage, a good idea for DC. If you put them a swimming cossie each and a small towel in they can get straight in the pool if there is any delay with luggage.
Very important to take your travel insurance documents with you, and don't put in hold luggage, all documents should be in hand luggage. EHIC cards have to be kept with you wherever you go in case you have to go to hospital.
It's a good idea to take photocopies of everyones passports in case of loss or damage, (and take them on holiday with you) or at the very least keep a note of all the passport numbers. Then if they need replacing it can be done quickly.
Chewy sweets for take off and landing, will be cheaper if you buy multi packs from the supermarket. So would packs of bottled water, but you are restricted by the 100ml liquids rule, so buy these airside more expensively.
Do weigh all your packed bags (including hand luggage) before you go to the airport, then you can rearrange contents so that they are all under the weight limit. We have occasionally had to put hand luggage on the scales at check-in, and you don't want last minute panic and hold up the queue while you sort it out. They are pretty strict about weights. It's always worth leaving 2-3 kgs under the weight limit in hold baggage in case you buy things on holiday.
These are great tips, really useful, thanks everyone.
Love the suggestion of swimming costume, towel and spare clothes in the hand luggage. I totally forgot about the sweets too, and will definitely photocopy all docs.
I don't have scales but have seen case-weighing gadgets in matalan so may go and get one of those ...
We have just got back from two weeks in Menorca.
If you plan to spend a lot of time by the pool, I don't think you need an outfit a day. Also, it is very hot, we did not need cardigans at all.
I took a fair few evening outfits but tended to rotate 3 maxi dresses.
We took spare clothes and swim stuff in hand luggage, so easy to change as soon as we arrived.
If you packed wisely, you could probably get away with hand luggage only for a week.
I would take one lightweight fleece each for the plane and the airport where the temperature can be very cold. Or very hot!
the 'liquids' rules for hand luggage are actually 'liquids, gels and pastes'. So the 'overzealous checker' who said it includes mascara was absolutely right. All slap is included in these rules. Put it in hold luggage, it's worth nothing and that way there's no problem.
generally: cabin luggage is valuables, essentials and documents. Nothing sharp.
hold luggage is everything else BUT nothing valuable or fragile.
RegularVoltaire, I have a luggage scale which has a dial, I found that it is about a kg out in accuracy. It's fine now that I know to add a kg onto whatever weight it tells me! I hope that the digital ones are more accurate and reliable.
Previously I used to put cases on the bathroom scales and hand luggage on my kitchen ones as they went up to 5kg!
The whole hand luggage weights is silly anyway, once people get airside they fill them up with magazines, food and drink, duty free etc (wait until you are all airside before buying all these heavy items!) It's a nice treat for the DC to choose what they want to read from WH Smith, although pricey.
Re the change of clothes in hand luggage, just roll each persons things into a sausage and put in the bottom of their bag.
Have just come home, 2 boys lived in trunks (shorts) in the day and flip flops. Couple of pairs of shorts and t shirts f. night and pumps, akthough ala lot of people were wearing flip flops.
A couple of bikinis for me, 2 t shirts and 2 shorts for dsy. 2 dresses, skirt and pair of trousers, plus 2 tops for night, day sandles and night sandles.
Hairdryer in hotel, check hotel description before you go. Also they hired towels 1 euro each, emailed ahead for that.

Thanks everyone.
I think I'm starting to get a bit more of an idea of things. Some fab tips here
buy suncream, showergel, shampoo, toothpaste when you get there. but pack eyedrops. after a day in sun and sand and pool it may be handy. and yes, you def dont need tonnes of outfits, shorts and a pile of tops (vests better than tees/dont get so smelly!)
Thanks sofi. Are the suncreams etc not a lot now expensive over there though?
I've added eye drops to the list

Fewer outfits, and a tube of travel wash for emergency cleaning if necessary. 14 different outfits for each person is a huge amount! I'm not sure my kids even have that many clothes! We just stuck to a few pairs of shorts/trousers and a few t shirts/tops, plus a couple of dresses. During the day we only really wore swimming costumes and cover-ups.
Suncream - between 5 of us, we got through nearly a tube a day, it doesn't go far if you put on enough, and every two hours or so. Also my kids all wore sun protecting rash vests, they didn't mind as quite a few kids had them on.
Oh, and I always pack tweezers, my kids always seem to get splinters for some reason.
Re suncream:
We are 2 adults and 2 teens and have just come back from 2 weeks in the sun. We put it on a short while before we go out in the sun and maybe top up shoulders/back/chest after lunch.
DH and DS wear rashies and long shorts the whole time so only cream their lower arms and lower legs and faces. They use factor 50 - one big bottle (400ml?)
DD and I wear bikini's. We use factor 30 - two big bottles (800ml)
None of us burned at all, and DD and I came back nice and brown!
If you don't take aftersun, take a good body moisturiser as the sun really dries you out. Probably 800ml max for 2weeks.
Another tip: pack all toiletry containers in resealable food/freezer bags within your wash bags if packing in hold baggage, it saves an awful lot of mess if any tops get broken or containers get damaged because it is contained in the plastic bag. (We had this happen with a small bottle I had decanted DH'S shower gel into, it had a split in it. Don't think baggage handlers helped the situation!)
I use travel wash as well Budgie, but only on two week hols. Can take less underwear as well as clothes. There might well be a laundry room for guests use at an A.I. hotel. We only go B+B basis and it's not such an imposition to wash through a few bits by hand if there isn't one.
I've got loads of body butter, will that do the same job?
These are great tips - thanks all
Body butter or any good body lotion would be fine, although DH might appreciate something with no scent! I like to use an aloe vera lotion which is very gentle for sensitive skin. I've never bothered with an actual aftersun product.
careful with over scented lotions as the mossies will think it is Christmas. And make sure you don't wear anything with excessive scent in the sun as it can trigger photosensitive reactions.
Yes good point about the mossies special. The aloe vera lotion I use is called Aloepura. it's organic and has no smell at all.
Good points ... thanks.
re suncream, all the supermarkets have their own brand so dont buy nivea/garnier at the beach for 10 euros a bottle, get it in the supermercardo for half that and save a tonnage on your luggage.
Bear in mind that a cabin-sized suitcase weighs at least 2kg so uses up a chunk of your 5kg allowance - 5 kg is easy to carry so I'd go for a wheel-less hold all that will weigh much less & let you carry more. Ryanair, I presume?
Suncream is always expensive in resort - buy at Boots airside in the airports, they often have offers on, same as on the high street. Once you are airside you don't have to worry about the 100ml limit or bottles bursting over your hold luggage. Also buy water, sandwiches etc for the flight, selection will be much better and cheaper than on the plane.
If ai do you need towels? We've booked ai in turkey. Towels supplied by hotel.
I've bought suncream - 2 x 50, 2 x 30 and 2x 15 spf. Does that sound like enough? The 30 and 15 are big bottles and the 50's (for younger dd's) are slightly smaller. I thought I'd buy any extra in the supermarket if we need it.
No walkacrossthesand - we are flying with Thomsonfly.
I can't find anything in the hotel facilities that state AI get towels, so think we need to take our own.
All the shorts I own aprox 4 pairs
Seven T shirts
Two evening outfits (always shower before dinner)
One costume, 2 tankis, rash vest- I burn long before DD2
Light weight but long trousered traveling clothes because we are cheapskates and tale night flights to get 7 full days.
14 pairs of knickers, stack of bras, less if you wear bikinis. I feel stupid in them. Always did even when young and slim.
Beach towels
Suncream-no two for one offers
We do after sun because the DD like it even if they aren't burnt.
Long trousers for DH and older teen boys, some hotels say long trousers for dinner. Certainly smart shorts.

I don't understand how it went unnoticed for so long. You'd think a normal person would check their monthly back statements at least once in that time period.

The recipient probably justified spending the money as it was the bank's error. However, this story puts a name and story to that windfall. In the end it's not the "cold-hearted bank" that was hurt, but someone innocent who made a mistake. Although we don't know the recipient's circumstances, they shouldn't have spent money that wasn't theirs.

Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities
The Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) is dedicated to advancing core and research biotechnology laboratories through research, communication, and education. ABRF members include over 800 scientists representing 267 different core laboratories in 41 countries, including those in industry, government, academic and research institutions.[1]
In 1986 a Research Resource Facility Satellite Meeting was held in conjunction with the Sixth International Conference on Methods in Protein Sequence Analysis. The next year protein sequencing and amino acid samples were sent to survey 103 core facilities. By 1989 the ABRF was formally organized and incorporated. Each year an annual meeting was held as a satellite meeting of the Protein Society until 1996 when separate meetings began.[2]
ABRF Research Groups[edit]
Research Groups are established to fulfill two of the purposes of the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities. First, to provide mechanisms for the self-evaluation and improvement of procedural and operational accuracy, precision and efficiency in resource facilities and research laboratories. Second, to contribute to the education of resource facility and research laboratory staff, users, administrators, and interested members of the scientific community.[3]

This day she was looking forward to flower arranging because she likes doing things herself. She doesn't believe that a 93-year-old should be held "prisoner" without owning her own car and "coming and going" as she pleases. As such, she is pleased with activities in which she can bring her creations back to her room.
Recreation therapy
There are many ways to interpret recreation therapy. According to the American Medical Association, a partial definition says it is "a treatment service designed to restore, remediate and rehabilitate a person's level of functioning and independence in life activities...." Recreational Therapist - American Medical Association
Watching vs doing
Certainly for those residents able to choose their own pumpkin, select flowers, and arrange and rearrange the fall blossoms --this was an independent function. But for those able to do little more than watch, I was itching for an active moment of "Gratitude or Remembrance Therapy."
- What was it like to pick flowers as children?
- Let's talk about your favorite flowers.
- If we plant a garden, should it be filled with vegetables or flowers?
The benefit and the glitch
For our mother, the value of recreating flower arrangements gave her a two-fold benefit. She made decisions regarding the colors. And she was able to engage in an activity that once gave her pleasure. Going to her own garden to snip flowers and bring them to the patio to arrange them brought out her artistic side.
This day she was able to relive the pleasure of floral arranging. Then we hit a glitch. She was getting tired and said, "Let's take the pumpkin back to my room. I'm tired. I need to lay down. I'll finish later."
Here was the problem. The pumpkins had to stay in the dining room – they were to be table decorations. She was agitated by this decision.
Nursing home agitation
Agitation comes quickly to nursing home residents. "I did all the work," she protested.
The recreation director explained again that these were for the dining room. Our mother was not happy. She asked again why she couldn't take the pumpkin flowers back to her room. Explanations can be an exercise in exasperation. It is so much easier to have an alternative to accomodate their wishes. Giving Alzheimer's Patients Their Way, Even Chocolate - The New York Times
The plastic pumpkin
For our mother, this required a quick fix moment. I told her that I thought my sister was bringing over a pumpkin for her and I would be right back. It occurred to me that I had given the nurses a plastic pumpkin filled with candy earlier. So I went to the desk and asked for the pumpkin back sans candy. When our mother saw it, she was thrilled.
"Where did that come from?" she asked.
I gave her the simple explanation. "Lois dropped it off for you. You can fill this with flowers and bring it back to your room and not have to worry about a fresh pumpkin going bad."
Her answer and question: "That makes a lot of sense. Why do I have to go back to my room?"
"To take a nap."
"Why do I need a nap?" she asked. "Who said I was tired?"
With that she smiled, waved me off, and went back to filling her afternoon with pumpkin flowers.
Note: Sometimes just a few practical "fixes" can alleviate agitation in those whose minds are being hijacked by the disease.

All past generations, a scientist once observed, have lived and died in a world of illusions. Prophetically, this was said before Einstein's relativity theory, quantum mechanics, and the discovery of atoms and DNA.
We, in the twenty-first century, are no different. We wake up in the morning and think we're just magically here. Yet, when we examine the stuff we're made of with our matter-microscopes, scientists have discovered that the particles seem to spring into existence with real properties only when we observe them. "It will remain remarkable," said Nobel physicist Eugene Wigner, who laid the foundations for the theory of symmetries in quantum mechanics "in whatever way our future concepts may develop, that the very study of the external world led to the conclusion that the content of the consciousness is an ultimate reality."
The world, it turns out, isn't the hard, cold place we imagine waking up to in the morning. We think we're made up of dead, little balls of material bouncing around like billiard balls on a pool table. Werner Heisenberg, the Nobel laureate whose uncertainty principle showed this wasn't the case, once commented "Contemporary science, today more than at any previous time, has been forced by nature herself to pose again the question of the possibility of comprehending reality by mental processes."

Today, still snowing and gloomy, riding was really slow. Quads made a path that could be ridden except it isn't wide enough to allow room for pedaling. Feet were always hucking snow for miles becoming quite a chore!
The rest of the time was spent shoveling 3/4 of a mile of trail. That was great to ride, but almost didn't happen, as finding the shovel I hid yesterday was really buried... LOL
Back to looking for a plowed or quad ridden road to ride tomorrow

"Cute, fun baby shower invites! Love the yellow polka dots on the back. As always, great paper quality from Tiny Prints. Arrived before they were supposed to. Everyone loves them."
"Perfect! We received many compliments on this card. Staff at little prints helped with adjusting size so we could fit our text in. Tiny Prints is a terrific company to deal with, and I highly recommend it. If I could make a single suggestion, I would ask that more room be left for text on the various design choices. Also, hosts should allow enough time for printing turnaround time."
"This card is even nicer in person. The colors are vibrant, and this invite is absolutely perfect for a gender neutral baby shower!"
"Loved the way this card turned out. I'm throwing a surprise shower for my friend and she just loved receiving this in the mail. She had to read it a few times before she realized it was for her! She isn't registered anywhere so I was happy they didn't have a line for that. It's a sweet card, great quality and beautiful colors. Definitely gender neutral which is always a plus."
"The honoree's name is quite long, so it didn't completely fit onto the banner. I called customer service, and they fixed the problem (it was an error not associated to font or size), and they shipped out another order at no charge- and it was deliverd to me a day earlier than I was told!"

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Commentary Deems Danish Foreign Minister Espersen 'Most Incompetent' in
Commentary by Lars Trier Mogensen: "Charter Flight Queen's Charm Has Worn
Off" - Politiken.dk
Thursday July 29, 2010 14:05:33 GMT
Foreign Minister Lene Espersen (Conse rvative), also known as "Madam 7
percent," has not managed to stop the increasingly more relevant debate
about her professional incompetence and mental absence. On the contrary.
Not a week goes by without new "scandals" popping up. Last week Lene
Espersen -- as the only one of nearly 80 foreign ministers from all over
the world -- had to give up getting to a major donor conference in
The reason? She had chartered a private aircraft from Air Alsie in
Sonderborg which was neither allowed to land at the military base nor was
able to get permission to fly across Uzbekistan. This amateurishness is
like a symbol of Espersen's epoch as the vacation minister for all of
While the "fisherman's girl from Hirtshals," as she has called herself,
meandered aimlessly in her little southern Jutlandic charter plane, people
such as UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Great Britain's Foreign Minister
(title as received) William Hague and, above all, US Foreign Minister
(title as received) Hillary Clinton sat at the negotiating table in Kabul
and discussed the future of Afghanistan.
To the Ritzau Bureau (Danish news agency) Espersen tried to explain away
the sad situation with bitterness: "It feels as if we have been the target
of harassment." Lene Alone in the World
The incompetence at Asiatisk Square cannot be explained away with
conspiracy theories. There is no one besides Espersen herself who bears
responsibility for Denmark's foreign minister being absent at several
meetings in a row.
If she were employed by a private company, she would long since have been
fired. She does not even try to act competent.
But the farce with the flight is already old news.
Yesterday came the provisional culmination of a process that started this
spring when the freshly self-appointed foreign minister sent her regrets
to the Arctic summit meeting with Hillary Clinton because she preferred to
relax on vacation in Mallorca.
Two months later she herself called that cancellation "the dumbest
decision I have made in my entire political life."
But the charter queen has apparently not learned from her mistakes.
Yesterday Espersen chose to send her regrets to a meeting with the foreign
ministers of the EU nations in Brussels.
The reason? The foreign minister is on vacation in Italy. Instead, Denmark
is represented by two officials.
The rest of Europe has not closed down yet. But the Danish foreign
minister has announced her own absence. Presence is power. But Lene is
alone in the world.
So even if, for example, Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt -- who also
managed to reach last week's donor conference in Kabul easily enough --
has interrupted his vacation in Croatia in order to participate in the EU
meeting, Espersen has again chosen to take a relaxed attitude.
The agenda will c ertainly involve EU climate targets, the engagement in
Sudan, sanctions against Iran, and the situation in Gaza. But the world
must wait, or perhaps she has no positions to contribute?
Denmark's deputy prime minister has a unique ability to be on vacation
when political events take place.
The first interrupted vacation came in 1998, when Lene Espersen had to
come home from a vacation in Mexico, when then Prime Minister Poul Nyrup
Rasmussen (Social Democrat) announced an election. The following year she
had to interrupt a romantic vacation in the Pacific when the attempt was
made to stop the Conservative factional wars with Bendt Bendtsen as new
And when former Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen (Liberal) accepted
the position of NATO secretary general as expected, Espersen was on
vacation in Portugal. A Political Dwarf
Conservative party soldiers are trying to fill the vacuum after Espersen b
y insisting that the criticism has assum ed the nature of a witch hunt and
smear campaign. But the events speak for themselves.
Meanwhile, Berlingske Tidende is doing what it can to rehabilitate the
most incompetent foreign minister in Danish history.
In a major interview on Sunday (25 July) Espersen is allowed to proclaim a
new foreign policy doctrine: "We should go out in the world with more
humbleness," was her new diplomatic recognition, which may safely be
called making a virtue of necessity.
On Sunday Lene Espersen, away on vacation, was quoted as saying:
"The reality today is that Europe is an economic giant but a political
dwarf, who is not being listened to. And we will be forced to take up that
challenge. And we do so by us Europeans getting better at speaking with
one voice."
The day after, meaning yesterday, she then once again cancelled her
participation in a summit meeting in Brussels. The reality today is that
the Conservative People's Party is a historical giant but Lene Espersen is
a political dwarf, who is no longer being listened to.

South African Mulaudzi Doubtful for IAAF Diamond League
Xinhua: "South African Mulaudzi Doubtful for IAAF Diamond League" - Xinhua
Thursday July 29, 2010 18:47:16 GMT
NAIROBI, July 29 (Xinhua) -- World 800m champion Mulaudzi Mbu laeni of
South Africa is doubtful to compete at the Stockholm and London rounds of
the IAAF Diamond League after he picked up a hamstring injury at the
Africa Athletics Championship here on Thursday.
Former Olympic silver medallist Hezekiel Sepeng, who is currently in
charge of the South African team at the Africa premier track and field
championship, said Mbulaeni aggravated his Achilles and strained the
hamstring and will need at least three weeks before he can compete
again.This means Mbulaeni will be out of the IAAF Diamond League in
Stockholm on August 6 and London a week later.The world champion was lined
up to run in the first heat of the 800m race but did not participate in
the heats despite finishing fourth on the opening day. Kenya's Jackson
Kivuva won the heat in 1:49.48."I can confirm that Mbulaeni is not in his
best shape at the moment. He injured himself in the heats on the first day
and he is nursing a hamstring," Sepeng told Xinhua.However, S epeng,
himself a former two lap racer, was impressed by the talent of David
Rudisha, the Africa 800m record holder at 1: 41.51.He said that with good
preparation and focus, the Kenyan runner has the record within his grip
and it is just a matter of time before he smashes it.Denmark Wilson
Kipkeret holds the world record at 1:41.11, which was set in Cologne,
Germany on August 1997. However, Sepeng, who run against the Kipketer, was
categorical, Rudisha has better talent."I ran against Kipketer. He was a
fine athlete, but when you look how composed he (Rudisha) is when running,
then you realize we have a world champion among us," said Sepeng."He
(Rudisha) is still young and the world record is possible for him to
break. But I like his take on this feat, running consistently at 1:42
should be his target and with that, the record will certainly come.Already
World Indoor Champion Abubakar Kaki of Sudan has envisaged, the world
record can be lowered to 1:40 and Sepe ng support him saying, it was very
possible this season the record will be set."What I can say is that this
record will be set if there are no big names in a race. But putting
Mbulaeni, Kaki and Rudisha together will not give you that kind of
performance. So I would advice Rudisha, because he looks more capable to
break the record to select where to run carefully and pick a good pace
setter," said Sepeng.(Description of Source: Beijing Xinhua in English --

International Geography Contest Opens In Taipei
By Lin Szu-yu and Fanny Liu - Centr al News Agency
Thursday July 29, 2010 12:14:13 GMT
Taipei, July 29 (CNA) -- The 8th International Geography Olympiad (iGeO)
-- a competition designed for secondary school students -- opened in
Taipei Thursday for the first time, with the highest-ever number of
participants, according to the organizers of the event.
According to the Taipei-based Geographical Society of China and the
Department of Geography of National Taiwan Normal University, a total of
28 teams comprising 106 participants from around the world are taking part
in the competition that will run through Aug. 4 under the auspices of the
International Geographical Union Olympiad Task Force.However, the Ministry
of Education (MOE) said that as this competition is not the same as the
International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) which is globally recognized, so
local winning students will not be awarded by the MOE or be rec ommended
for admission for further studies.Countries and areas participating the
event for the first time include Denmark, the Republic of Croatia,
Singapore and Hong Kong, with Turkey participating as an observing team,
the organizers said.The international competition contains three elements
-- a written response test, a multimedia test and a fieldwork test. The
questions are presented in English and students must answer in that
language.The teams are made up of secondary school students aged between
16 and 19 who are selected through national-level geography competitions
in their home countries.(Description of Source: Taipei Central News Agency

Houshmandzadeh visits Minnesota
Updated: March 2, 2009, 12:37 PM ETAssociated Press
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings have addressed their quarterback situation, though they haven't settled on a starter. Now they're busy figuring out who will be snapping him the ball -- and trying to give him another topflight target to throw to.
Free agent wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh was scheduled for a Saturday visit with Vikings officials in Minnesota, fresh off a trip to Seattle to check out the Seahawks. The Bengals have an offer on the table to keep him in Cincinnati.

Many real-time systems employed in defense, space, and consumer applications have power constraints and high reliability requirements. In this paper, we focus on the relationship between fault tolerance techniques and energy consumption. In particular, we establish the energy efficiency of Application Level Fault Tolerance (ALFT) over other software-based fault tolerance methods. We then develop sensible energy-aware heuristics for ALFT schemes. The heuristics yield up to 40% energy savings.

- Photos
- Hotel Pick-Up
Combine a visit to Muir Woods and Sausalito with a fabulous cruise on San Francisco Bay. You'll cross the Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay area's most popular national monument, visit Sausalito - the prettiest village in California and sail next to Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge on a narrated one-hour cruise.
- Free hotel pickup and drop-off included
- All entrance fees included
- Travel by boat and see the sights from the water
First, this enthralling excursion takes you across the Golden Gate Bridge to stop for a view of San Francisco from Vista Point, then through the coastal mountains to the Bay Area's popular Muir Woods. This national monument is the site of a virgin forest of California Coast redwood trees, among the oldest and tallest on earth. Take the opportunity to roam through an ancient forest of giant redwood trees on your 75-minute visit of Muir Woods.
The tour then takes you to Sausalito, a quaint Mediterranean-style seaside village. Stroll along the waterfront, shop or take photos in this picturesque artists' colony nestled on the northern shores of San Francisco Bay.
In addition, you'll enjoy an hour of breathtaking sightseeing on the Golden Gate Bay Cruise. The fully narrated cruise on San Francisco Bay takes you under the Golden Gate Bridge (weather permitting) for close-up views of Alcatraz Island, the San Francisco waterfront and the California sea lions.

spectacular trip and our guide was very knowledgeable. Plenty of time to explore the Muir Woods and Sausalito. Easy booking and I would recommend this tour.
Reviewed by: Judy K, December 2014
The tour to Muir Woods and Sausalito was great. I enjoyed the fact that someone else did the driving. We stopped at Muir Woods for about 1-1/2 hours and the woods are beautiful. Then we went to Sausalito and just took pics and walked around for about 1-1/2 hours then caught the tour bus back to the pick up location right by Fisherman's Wharf. That in itself was so convenient for us because our hotel was right around the block from there. No trying to find a parking spot. I would highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide was awesome as well. Very friendly.

What is the most commonly misunderstood aspect of your profession?
Click www.PowerCore.net to share your perspective.
Clay Jeffreys is proud to be among the Members who have shown leadership by being an Officer.
The Emory Team benefits from Clay in his role as mortgage broker — and Clay gives more:
He's been TeamCoOrdinator, ParticipationCoOrdinator, VisitorCoOrdinator, MembershipCoOrdinator
and MentorCoOrdinator.
The Hand Pin is only one of the ways he shows leadership. Clay is the first person in each Wednesday morning,
he makes the coffee. Clay also stimulated a six-week InfoMinute series focusing on GateOpeners for five Members
of his Team, and, odds are, he's got other ideas in queue! So when you see that Hand on his badge, shake his hand
with congratulations.
Once a month experienced Members share their success tips with new Members at Orientation.
For giving new Members the boost of straight answers, Tommy Schlosser has added a PowerWings Pin to his badge.
Tommy brings strength to the Whitlock Team with Visitors and leadership — and to Members in every Team by sharing the rules for referral success that have worked for him.
Give a hand to
Raymond "wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands" Jackson
who added a Hand Pin to the credibility row on his badge and profile.
The Hand Pin shows Raymond has served the Marietta Square Team as
TeamCoOrdinator, ParticipationCoOrdinator, VisitorCoOrdinator, MembershipCoOrdinator and MentorCoOrdinator.
He's shared that leadership with the Whitlock Team as an Angel Officer
and with Whitlock and Vinings as Coach.
Put your hands together for Raymond Jackson!
New Members have existing Members to thank for a fast start.
When a new Team forms
five Angel Officers model excellence for their first six meetings.
Valerie Brutti
wears a Teamworks pin
because she was the VisitorCoOrdinator Angel Officer for the Milton Team.
Bravo Valerie! Thank you.
Kriston Sellier is a wife with a traveling husband; a mother with two young children; a business owner with employees, and a five year PowerCore Member. Here's the answer you'll get when you ask what has kept this 7am meeting on her calendar for 5 years:
PowerCore has the best return on investment for my business. I tried other organizations that had networking without success. Due to the science of PowerCore and how relationships are built in referral networking, it has fostered business opportunities. It comes down to simple math. I made a financial investment of $2500 in the last five years and I have deposited more than $100,000 in my business bank account.
The Whitlock Team responded with celebration and joy!
Priscilla Hollman is the 11th Member of the Marietta Square Team to be awared the 5 Year Pin.
That means half of the Team has been consistently participating for longer than many businesses survive.
Five years is a long time – 250 5:45am alarm clocks – so I asked Priscilla what her motivation is.
I didn't get up this early when I was making a six-figure salary. That's the truth. I never did. I'm here because this Team taught me how to talk about my business in an intelligent way, so that I can feel confident about being a marketer – because I was a manager. I took marketing classes, but I don't think I paid attention. (The Team laughed here, but Priscilla didn't!)
This Team has been my marketing 101.
And then they cheered for her!
Michael O'Neill is a Member and often an Officer on the Peachtree Corners Team,
now sports the Teamworks pin because he shared his leadership skills with
the Milton Team during their six weeks of CoreGroup. Applause, cheers
and grateful thanks.
Barbara Kvam was a Member, and then she wasn't, and then she re-joined at the Peachtree Corners Team.
The total adds up to 15 years. As her Team applauded her new pin, I asked why she came back.
I changed classifications – I went back into insurance, I'd been in the printing industry – and when I did that there were no seats available on any Teams. Every single Team had an insurance agent! So I had to wait a year and a half until there was a seat available, and then I came back, on this Team. I enjoy coming here in the morning, even though I don't like getting up that early. My body has gotten used to it after 15 years–even when I'm not supposed to come because it's a vacation day, if it's Thursday, I'm awake!
I love meeting everybody and expanding my exposure, not only for my business, but so I can provide resources for my clients. I can either tell them about PowerCore, as I did with Anna, or I can introduce them to other people who are going to benefit them, and that, of course, reflects well on me. So it works out for me, whether I get a check or a higher estimation with my clients.
Well said, Barbara!
Chuck Green, founding Member of the Central Perimeter Team
wears a Hand Pin on his name badge.
This means he has held all five leadership positions:
TeamCoOrdinator, ParticipationCoOrdinator, VisitorCoOrdinator, MembershipCoOrdinator and MentorCoOrdinator.
Congratulate him with a handshake!
When Darrell Rodgers received his 10 year pin (ten years – wow) at the 30305 Team, I asked
what has kept him coming, every week, for 500 7am meetings:
"I'm not a marketing person by nature. I grew up in technology. I'm a geek. So the whole idea of marketing and relationships and all of the pieces of sales is just totally new to me. I enjoy so much coming, and meeting with all of the people at the table, and getting to know them, and getting the benefit of what they've been able to learn and do. I love the opportunity to be here."
Congratulations Darrell – we get benefit from your leadership, too.
Chris Holzwarth and Lewis Hammond had different reasons why they've chosen to have a 7am meeting on their calendar, every week, for five years:
Lewis said, "Well, when I first started PowerCore I wasn't getting many referrals. But even if I don't get many referrals being here every Friday morning reminds me the discipline – I have a tendency to forget things and sorta slough things off and this is my recharge. I come here and I realize 'Okay, I've got to network. I've got to get new clients.' Every Friday morning I write down all the things I have to do next week on the back of my InfoMinute and it recharges me."
What a great system.
Chris had a different answer. "I love setting my alarm clock for 4:45. I am so inspired when I come here with this group of people. I recently presented in a national conference. It went very well, and it's because of you – my Team. I learn from you. I listen to you. I watch your techniques. I attend the seminars and it's all been wonderful for my business. My goal is to get out and do more presentations, to train the trainers, and I've been recognized in my field nationally and a lot of it has to do with you giving me the confidence to get out there and do what I'm doing
Big goal Chris, and we'll continue to applaud your successes.
Dr. Kristen Gravlin joined the Dogwood PowerCore Team a decade ago, on June 4, 2004.
Ten years seems both like forever and like yesterday. I asked her how that could be:
"Part of it is because there are always different faces around the table — both Visitors, Substitutes and Team Members coming and going. It keeps me on my game. It's been very profitable over 10 years. I don't have time to do research about networking — I do research about spines and health! This is where I get the tidbits that save me hours of reading about marketing."
And then her Team applauded!

If we want our network to talk about us to their network (and we do) it's our responsibility to share new information with them regularly–information they can use to insert us into conversations. No talk = no referral. PowerCore meetings begin with an opportunity for each Member to share new information. Because that's how referrals happen.
|[2] Credibility. Referrals are earned, not owed. We earn them through relationships. The PowerCore structure provides opportunities to show respect, reliability and responsibility. Which translates into Team Member's willingness to refer and endorse us to their clients. Referrals are endorsement with action.
|[3] Reciprocity. Referrals aren't just language, the way a lead is. Referrals are a task list item (or three) and we expect that effort to return personal benefit. The PowerCore structure give each Member the opportunity to bring benefit to the group. That's how reciprocity kicks in.
|Visitors are welcome to check out two meetings to see if the PowerCore referral marketing structure is a fit.(You'll know in the first 15 minutes.) To find a Team near you, with an opening for your classification, (only one person per classification is allowed at each Team, so there's no competition within the group) call the PowerCore office at 404-816-3377.

It's Official: POLITICO's Headed to Brussels
A 12:44pm email from POLITICO president Jim VandeHei confirmed expansion to Europe, joining with Berlin-based media company Axel Springer to cover European politics and policy. The new media company will be headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.
"Axel Springer is a highly impressive, highly ambitious company that shares our obsession with building media companies that produce and can sustain nonpartisan journalistic excellence," wrote VandeHei to staff. "We can tell you this is a 50-50 joint venture with Axel Springer and will cover not just Brussels but European politics and policy more broadly. There is a lot more to this new venture, and we will keep you in the loop as this proceeds."
VandeHei hinted at the news in a follow up email to staff Sunday night after executive editor Rick Berke announced his resignation, saying there are "very big plans for expanding POLITICO here and elsewhere."
