Yoga Poses - From Beginner to Advanced
Beginner Have you ever wondered how to heal a rotator cuff injury, or how to prevent yourself from damaging or tearing your rotator cuff? The answer is to both strengthen and stretch the muscles that make up the rotator cuff - the Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Tere Minor and Subscapularis. This video shows you how. |
Beginner This pose stretches the latissimus dorsi and teres major of the top arm and the biceps and anterior deltoid muscles of the lower arm. Latissimus dorsi stretches help people with tight lats due to poor upper back posture. |
Beginner The Trapezius is made up of three sheets of muscle, the upper, mid and lower trapezius, which together cover the entire upper back from the bottom of the rib cage to the base of the skull. When strong and functioning properly, they provide support for the shoulders, neck and back. |
Beginner This is a great exercise to do if you find yourself sitting for long periods of time, and in particular if you tend to slouch. This exercise strengthens the muscles that help reposition your shoulders properly and help you sit more upright. |
Beginner This is the best way to isolate the achilles tendon. Stretching the achilles can help a lot when trying to lengthen the calf muscles. |
Beginner This hamstring stretch is great for isolating the part of the hamstring muscles that are behind the knee joint. Tight hamstrings are a common finding in most people. However, you can do easy exercises to increase your hamstring length. |
Advanced Bird of Paradise pose challenges your focus, balance, strength and flexibility. It's one of the more difficult poses to do well, since it demands so much from the body. This pose strengthens the standing leg, ankle, knee and thigh. This pose strengthens the legs, improves balance, opens the groins and hamstrings. |
Intermediate Baddha means bound; ardha is half, matsya is fish and indra is ruler. This deep twist with a bind is a fantastic stretch for the spine, hips, legs and shoulders. Ensure that your pelvis acts as an anchor so that your spine can lift and lengthen to its fullest capacity. Breathe deeply and avoid stiffening the body. |
Intermediate Dhanu means a bow. Bow pose is a fantastic stretch for the spine, abdominals, hip flexors, biceps and pecs. It is an all-around, great total body-opening backbend. Be sure to engage your core muscles, encouraging the spine to bend evenly, rather than pivoting in the lower back. Regular practice will relieve lower back pain and release tension. |
Beginner If you are looking for a gentle, easy way to get a deep stretch in your calf, this calf stretch is the way to go. While seated comfortably you are able to use a strap or tie to deepen or lessen the stretch with ease. |
Beginner This video shows how to effectively stretch the calf muscle, as well as change the angle to stretch the outer and inner fibers of the calf muscle. |
Beginner Utkata means powerful or fierce in Sanskrit. Fiji takes you through chair pose, showing you how to properly maintain alignment through the entire body. Chair pose strengthens the ankles, thighs, calves, and spine, stretches the shoulders and chest, and stimulates the abdominal organs, diaphragm, and heart, as well as the feet.

Michelle Obama and Barack Obama at National Prayer Service
Michelle Wears White, Barack Tears Up at National Prayer Service
President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama — his "better half," as he called her last night at the inaugural balls — took part in a more somber time of reflection after all the weekend's inauguration festivities during the national prayer service at Washington National Cathedral. Michelle wore Naeem Khan as she sat beside Barack, Vice President Joe Biden, and Dr. Jill Biden at this final inauguration event. The tradition of a national prayer service occurring the day after the inauguration dates all the way back to George Washington. This morning's service included a message from the Rev. Adam Hamilton from the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, KS. While we saw the president let loose yesterday during the parade and inaugural ball, today we saw his emotional side as he teared up while listening to the Children of the Gospel Choir perform. See the sweet moment now.

Article: Blood platelet-derived microparticles release and bubble formation after an open-sea air dive.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Bubble-induced platelet aggregation offers an index for evaluating decompression severity in humans and in a rat model of decompression sickness. Endothelial cells, blood platelets, or leukocytes shed microparticles (MP) upon activation and during cell apoptosis. The aim was to study blood platelet MP (PMP) release and bubble formation after a scuba-air dive in field conditions. Healthy, experienced divers were assigned to 1 experimental group (n = 10) with an open-sea air dive to 30 msw for 30 min and 1 control group (n = 5) during head-out water immersion for the same period. Bubble grades were monitored with a pulsed doppler according to Kissman Integrated Severity Score (KISS). Blood samples for platelet count (PC) and PMP (annexin V and CD41) were taken 1 h before and after exposure in both groups. The result showed a decrease in post-dive PC compared with pre-dive values in experimental group with no significant change in the control group. We observed a significant increase in PMP values after the dive while no change was revealed in the control group. There was a significant positive correlation between the PMP values after the dive and the KISS bubble score. The present study highlighted a relationship between the post-dive decrease in PC, platelet MP release, and bubble formation. Release of platelet MPs could reflect bubble-induced platelet aggregation and could play a key role in alteration of the coagulation. Further studies must investigate endothelial and leukocyte MP release in the same field conditions.Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism 06/2012; 37(5):888-92. · 2.23 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Decompression sickness (DCS) with alterations in coagulation system and formation of platelet thrombi occurs when a subject is subjected to a reduction in environmental pressure. Blood platelet consumption after decompression is clearly linked to bubble formation in humans and offers an index for evaluating DCS severity in animal models. Previous studies highlighted a predominant involvement of platelet activation and thrombin generation in bubble-induced platelet aggregation (BIPA). To study the mechanism of the BIPA in DCS, we examined the effect of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), heparin (Hep), and clopidogrel (Clo), with anti-thrombotic dose pretreatment in a rat model of DCS. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 208) were randomly assigned to one experimental group treated before the hyperbaric exposure and decompression protocol either with ASA (3×100 mg·kg(-1)·day(-1), n = 30), Clo (50 mg·kg(-1)·day(-1), n = 60), Hep (500 IU/kg, n = 30), or to untreated group (n = 49). Rats were first compressed to 1,000 kPa (90 msw) for 45 min and then decompressed to surface in 38 min. In a control experiment, rats were treated with ASA (n = 13), Clo (n = 13), or Hep (n = 13) and maintained at atmospheric pressure for an equivalent period of time. Onset of DCS symptoms and death were recorded during a 60-min observation period after surfacing. DCS evaluation included pulmonary and neurological signs. Blood samples for platelet count (PC) were taken 30 min before hyperbaric exposure and 30 min after surfacing. Clo reduces the DCS mortality risk (mortality rate: 3/60 with Clo, 15/30 with ASA, 21/30 with Hep, and 35/49 in the untreated group) and DCS severity (neurological DCS incidence: 9/60 with Clo, 6/30 with ASA, 5/30 with Hep, and 12/49 in the untreated group). Clo reduced fall in platelet count and BIPA (-4,5% with Clo, -19.5% with ASA, -19,9% with Hep, and -29,6% in the untreated group). ASA, which inhibits the thromboxane A2 pathway, and Hep, which inhibits thrombin generation, have no protective effect on DCS incidence. Clo, a specific ADP-receptor antagonist, reduces post-decompression platelet consumption. These results point to the predominant involvement of the ADP release in BIPA but cannot differentiate definitively between bubble-induced vessel wall injury and bubble-blood component interactions in DCS.Journal of Applied Physiology 03/2011; 110(3):724-9. · 3.43 Impact Factor

One secretary attended school and had skin treatments on the taxpayers' dime. Another employee was let out of work for jury duty ... on most Fridays between January 2005 and June 2006. And a third person — also paid by you and me — possibly used publicly funded help to feed clients to her realtor husband.
All of these allegations and more help explain why one of county hall's most long-lived and wily veterans, Metro-Miami Action Plan Trust President Milton Vickers, resigned last week. They give a pretty good idea as to why three prominent MMAP board members have quit in the past two months. And they almost surely had something to do with state prosecutors' December 4 raid of MMAP's offices.
The shenanigans might even shed light on why Miami Commissioner Michelle Spence-Jones is facing indictment.
"It's really, really bad over there," says one county employee familiar with the agency, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of losing her job. "MMAP used to be a good agency. Now it's foolishness — they just recycle money to each other and their friends."
Created in 1983 after the Liberty City riots, MMAP was supposed to help inner-city Miami escape poverty by providing cash for businesses and down payment assistance for low-income home buyers. It also oversees a program for young offenders called Teen Court and gives money to two youth leadership institutes. The organization, which employs about three dozen people, operates without much scrutiny; it is independent of county commissioners, which means its director and board of trustees make all decisions on a $12.2 million annual budget.
There have been problems in the past. In 1998 a county audit said the trust didn't track thousands of dollars given to community groups. In 2002 administrative officer Arthur Jones pleaded guilty to accepting a $3,000 kickback for recommending approval of a $25,000 commercial loan, and served five months in prison. The same year Teen Court founder Ralph McCloud was charged with orchestrating a kickback scheme, but was acquitted. And in early 2006 the Miami-Dade Office of the Inspector General (OIG) said Teen Court staff "lacked in accountability" and that "files reviewed contained questionable and/or blatant falsification of documentation."
Vickers took over in May 2006, assumedly to clean up the mess. The third trust leader in five years, he had worked in the county's personnel office, at the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, and as chief of staff to Miami Commissioner Jeffery Allen.
He didn't turn things around, though. This past March the OIG received 18 complaints from MMAP employees regarding personnel matters, fraud, mismanagement, and other issues. Because of all the problems, county leaders discussed pulling funding. But virtually nothing was done.
Two documents explain the morass: One is a May 11 memo from Donald Allen, director of the Miami-Dade Employee Relations Department, to Cynthia Curry, a senior advisor in the county manager's office. The other is an August 22 report by Howard Piper, a county management and performance analyst, addressed to County Manager George Burgess. Among their findings:
• Joanne Hicks, a special projects administrator at MMAP, steered people who had received down payment assistance from the agency to her husband, a realtor. Hicks denied these allegations and has not been charged.
• Another administrator, Eric Johnson, is a mortgage broker. The county received reports that Johnson "wants calls from citizens who inquire about mortgages to be forwarded to him... [He] has allegedly been seen processing qualifying mortgage paperwork for citizens who later receive down payment assistance from MMAP." He denied wrongdoing and has not been criminally charged.
• Telephone operator Pamela King filed questionable time sheets, did homework on county time, and left early three days a week. Administrative officer Brian Clarke was paid for days off to study for and take the bar exam. Contract officer William Simmons took paid time to serve every Friday on a grand jury for a year and a half.
• Several other employees were found to have either not signed in or out for the day, while others were not charged leave time, vacation time, or sick days despite being absent.
• Vickers was aware of all of these problems yet did nothing — and even scolded people for talking to the county about the agency's inner workings. "Mr. Vickers called in all clerical staff to question who had snitched to the [county]," wrote Allen, the employee relations director. "Mr. Vickers referred to them as 'traitors.' Those who were in attendance felt intimidated by Mr. Vickers's demeanor and choice of words."
Vickers did not return calls from New Times seeking comment, but told the Miami Times in July that the employees' complaints and many of the other allegations were "disturbing" and untrue. "A number of lives are dependent on my being able to do my job well," he said. "I can't think of any circumstances in which I would compromise that."
MMAP spokeswoman Melba Gasque acknowledged Vickers was under a lot of "stress," but claimed he quit because his mother just died and his daughter was recently diagnosed with leukemia. "He tried to do his best," she said. "I think he resigned for quality of life reasons."

Everything was great! Place was excellent and check-in check-out was super easy. Spectacular space and I hope to use it again sometime in the future! Any questions I had were answered promptly, communication was no issue at all.
Great space, easy access, very cool location south of the city. Highly recommended.
Great space for hanging out with friends. Celebrated a 40th birthday weekend with a couple close friends. We had a total blast. The views are awesome views and the loft is a lot fun. The kitchen and food prep items could use a little TLC. Be warned however, if you are looking for quiet, this is not the space for you. On the weekends there is a full-on after hours club directly above this space (literally directly above the beds), that starts promptly at midnight. There is lots and lots of bass to vibrate you to sleep! The after-hours people are very nice and will host you at their parties, but if you want to get any sleep, bring very good ear plugs and your seasoned festival sleeping mind-set. Otherwise, party on!
We had a good time at your loft, but it's not oriented to families. Reception was ok, instructions very clear, parking lot and building easy to use and access. Main problem: very noisy party-neighbours (at least on one friday we stayed).
This is the coolest place I have ever stayed at in my 4 years in SF. Great space with a well thought out layout. Everything you possibly need and more. I had a great experience here and did not have any trouble with the neighbors other businesses in the building. It is a bit different, if you are looking for a very classic residential spot, this is not for you, burt if you are looking for a large space that really captivates a fun SF lifestyle, you can't do any better than this, highly recommend this place!
This was a very good Airbnb experience.
Booking the property was easy, and the place looks exactly as pictured. This is a clean, mixed live/work loft in a commercial building containing many different businesses. Parking was fine for one vehicle in the ground-level gated area, but local street parking seemed limited. Check (website hidden) Maps to get an idea about the general area in relation to the entire City.
As photographed, the unit is a corner loft with tons of windows and light; however, only one small window opens, so managing temperature can be a challenge. The bathroom was serviceable, but could stand some improvement. We didn't cook, so can't comment on the kitchen, but the fridge was new and kept our beer nicely cold.
We were there for only one night, for an event at City Hall, and we were very happy with our stay.
The place was large and looked as pictured. Worked out well for our group. It did get a little warm though so not sure how comfortable the temperature would be other than during the winter.

Big data architecture
As enterprise organizations begin to collect massive amounts of data and to begin to find ways to capitalize on that data, enterprise application developers are increasingly being asked to build big data architecture. Developing effective big data strategies that can go beyond processing big data in big batches and bring the enterprise into real-time big data analytics is a heavy challenge. Big data frameworks such as Hadoop can be very helpful, but at this point, enterprise architects need a thorough understanding of basics of big data.

3d artist and animator. You want cool thing? I make you cool thing.
Awesome to see more progress!
None of this wankery. Anyone can extrapolate a tri-count if they really care.
Gorgeous work.
Yay new concept art! That's really awesome looking.
Unless you're trying to integrate new art assets, in which case Source is backwards and obstinate.
The feet or too small, and duck wings don't really attach to the rest of the body like that.
Shame you're wrong, then. It shines in the animation department, but as a modeling tool it's really no better than max/blender/etc.
zomg broken! Patch angler spam!
I kid. That's a pretty good, the only major weakness is that the texture is pretty boring. Nice sculpt though.
Not a garage. That's a storefront. You're right though, not knowing that it looks really out of scale. I need to add a shop sign of some kind to attend to that.
The scale shouldn't be hard to fix. I built this thing to be modular. Hmmm... Might have to extend it out more. Maybe another floor or two.
I'm planning on replacing a lot of those windows with more detailed cracked/stained glass, so I haven't touched the spec on them yet. I'm holding off any more work on it till I've done a few grime passes. The shader I'm using for screens is limited to SI, so you're not getting the effect a production render is going to show.
Fixed it. Print screen screw-up. I've got a heap of textures I've collected over the years, I don't know the origin of that particular texture. Probably Cgtextures.com
May I suggest a real-time shader like Xoliul's viewport shader?
It's far better than the standard dx shader. It should allow you to more quickly set up and view your maps.
Ah, I see then! You really do want to make one for showing off in your portfolio or whatever. It comes off as really flat right now. Heck, you might as well make a basic normal map as well, bring it to a current gen level of polish.
From what I can see you really just need shadows, brighter lights, and some specularity.
Google: "3ds max modeling tutorials." There are heaps out there, covering almost anything you'd want to model. You just have to look them up.
If it's done it's done, I just think it needs a little more detailing to make the asset really look good. It's still an excellent piece.
It's not a bad piece of software.
Awesome detailing on this man! I'm very impressed!
Solid machinegun! I dig it. I want to see the other side with the handle!
Just a few critiques: You're missing the support strut on the back of the gun, bracing it against the tripod. Also, your lighting scheme needs more rays, that should clear up your artifacting. Doesn't really matter for the game, but if you want to show it off as a portfolio piece it'd look much better.
Basically awesome nonetheless!
Sounds like you answered your own question. Blender is good.
Nice model, but the texture needs more work. You've got the basic marble, which is alright, maybe a little too rough for so fine a column, but you might add some weathering as well, spattered mud/dust or moss or something. Make it look less pristine.
Those are unwrapping techniques. Not sure the naming convention on your modeling tool of choice, but it's stuff you need to know to get better.
Not bad for a first try. You really need to separate the sections of your uv unwrap so you don't get stretched sides. That would fix all the non-side views.
More importantly, you need to bevel! Round those edges!
I completely understand! That can be as much a difficult step as anything else.
Except when they're cylinders.
Looks solid enough. I'd love to see a wireframe!
That's well on it's way! Those doors on the side really make it a lot more interesting shape. It's coming along. If you still want to add more detail I'd put some panels or something there in the interior section, make it pop a little more from the main hull!
Nice. Did you model the ejection port on the other side?
No applause please, just throw money.
They ask because it's important to know if you're going to put it in a game engine. They ask because making a model look good with a smaller number of polys takes skill. They ask because large numbers are inherently exciting.
I can't really tell what this is, so I shall mock it. MOCK MOCK MOCK.
Looks like the normals on the nose needs some smoothing. Actually there are a couple of spots like that. Nice unwrap though, the texture looks great.
You could take out most of the chest and neck detail for the low-poly if you're going to sculpt it. It's not really adding to the profile.
It's a little better, still having trouble telling everything apart. Interesting choice to model! It'd be cool if you made the folded up version as well.
Dark render, I'd like to see it lightened up!
At least AR is still mostly DIY goofy tooling around in the world today. As awesome as the idea is I don't think I could stand that much visual clutter.
You're making a mistake then. You need to at least scuff it up. These things are picked up by either a mechanical arm or a man in a boiler suit, neither of whom treat it tenderly. I don't want more magical pristine objects, it's simply not realistic.
Textured train is teh sex.
Gorgeous photoreal model. It'll be a shame to lose all the detail in the low-poly.
Or even better, post the tri count.
Fun concepts, good sense of 3d space.
That'll look good when it's done, good stuff.
Do we really need 6 views of this? It's a nice model, but I'd keep the extra views to your personal profile.
This is a good start, if you can get your texture to the level of the revolver it will be close to perfect. The parts of the stock that are supposed to be brass(?) are pretty jagged next to the wood, fix that and it will be excellent.
That's a solid revolver. Good work! Is it penetrating the ground there at the handle? I assume not, but the way you've set up the render it leaves the question open.
I can see what you did with the windows now. Looks good! The green at the base and and above the trim, I'm not sure what it's supposed to be. It looks like pond scum. Maybe too saturated?
Nice piece, I suggest blowing out some of the windows. Don't know how you're running with texture space, but it'd break up the space a little more.
Shiny. You should upload some wireframes of your models too!
Baby needs a normal map! And your textures don't match going from one side to the next. The weathering is horizontal on one side and vertical on the next.
A classic pistol model. Looks good!
It's a great start. You've got some funky normals there on the grip.
This is really just a framing comment. All your screenshots feel pretty square. If you changed up the angle and height of the shot, perhaps taking it from a corner, you'd have some much more dynamic shots to interest people. Don't get me wrong, I like what I see, I'm curious about the environment these are set in, but you could take it to the next level pretty easily.
Nice model, really well-textured. Kind of hard to tell the detail with a black background though. One suggestion, you got some spots where the grime looks like it's caked on an area that would otherwise rub on another, like the clip. Add some smudging or clean sections to show where the moving parts are and it would be even better.
Cool syringe, and it looks pretty low-poly. Nice.
Nasty tearing you're got going there on the clip. Looks like you have too many polys close together.
I'd as soon not waste an extra click having to go to the separate media pages. You're fouling up my ergonomics! I do like that you've divided mod groups from interest groups, that could allow for a lot of more focused features down the line.
Is this based on a real model of grenade? It looks a little cartoony, which is great if that's what you're going for, otherwise I'd suggest building a grenade based on a modern military model, that way you can pull some visual references and get something that looks close to real.
I was going to complain about how square the rear looked, but when I looked up a reference it turned out the thing really does have a flat butt. Nice model!
That's a really intense blue on the deck, is that what it look like in reality? I'd change it to gunmetal like the towers, but other than that it looks good enough.

They would love the variety, and the worth of all items would completely floor them.
Baby dress set: Find out whether this is a girl or perhaps a boy. Get the baby a dress set that looks attractive and feels as flexible as down. Babies feel affection for soft clothing & parents just can't get adequate of the material. Because babies are good at creating a mess that is one thing that parents just can't get sufficient. Whether it's a night suit, a summer dress or even a bath dressing gown, dresses are for all time a problem for the baby.
Personalized bed sheets: Imagine giving a personalized bed sheet set containing of small blankets, pillows and its covers. The greatest way to personalize the baby gift set will be to embellish the baby's name over this; or, you might yet embroider a message on the set. The gift set would really remind the whole family of you every night.
Personalized baby bath set: feathery towels and a baby bathrobe –it would produce a superb baby bath set; impressive diverse things but enormously caring and of good use. Go one step advance and personalize the baby gift set with the baby's name.
The ideal baby bath set wouldn't have to become a handy baby set from the store alongside you. This can be something that suits the baby or responds the requirement of parents. Just keep your thoughts cap on, keep your eyes open and acquire somewhat helpful. With that kind of thinking, you just cannot go wrong in choosing the correct baby gift sets.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Can Gordon turn it around at 'Dega?
TALLADEGA, Ala.
Could Sunday's Aaron's 499 be the race where Jeff Gordon finally turns his season around?
Gordon is currently 17th in the Sprint Cup point standings. But the four-time NASCAR champion, who has finished outside of the top 10 just once since his rookie year in 1993, isn't concerned — yet.
NASCAR on FOX brings live coverage of the Sprint Cup race at Dover International Speedway on Sunday. The green flag drops at 1 p.m. ET, with coverage on FOX beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET.
"The only thing that weighs on me is, I know that we're better than where we are," Gordon said. "I know that we don't belong in the position that we're in. ... We have not seen the results of the performance. And that's racing. That's just part of it.
"I mean, we have been on an amazing streak of good fortune and doing things right. And this year we can't seem to do anything right.
"But, it's a long season. There's a lot to change and still a lot that's going to happen. I think we're very capable of winning races. And we're certainly not out of it yet. So, to me, being outside the top 10 in points right now means nothing."
Gordon has not won a title since the inception of the Chase for the Sprint Cup in 2004. But he believes NASCAR's new format offers teams a mulligan for getting back in the hunt.
"Now if this was 1998, then that would be a whole different situation," Gordon said. "This season would be completely done. And with the new Chase format, the season is never done until you get one or two races within the Chase.
"At this point we are not out of it. We are still in it because, until we don't win any races or until we are not in that top 10 when it comes to Chicago, we still have a shot at it."
At 40, Gordon doesn't consider his age to be a factor. He says he entered 2012 "feeling as good as I ever have."
And though Gordon said he doesn't believe in luck, he remains confident with the caliber of equipment and personnel at Hendrick Motorsports.
Certainly, Gordon's record at Talladega should offer the team a bump. He leads all active drivers at the superspeedway with six-career Cup wins. However, two years after Gordon swept the races on the 2.66-mile speedway, tandem drafting at the two restrictor-plate tracks (Daytona and Talladega) became the trend.
And Gordon evolved into more of a victim than a victor. In the last six Talladega races, he's posted just one top five and two top 10's with an average finish of 19.5.
While there are those drivers who enjoy tandem-style drafting, Gordon isn't one of them. He doesn't think the practice is safe. However, the evolution of changes NASCAR instituted with the restrictor-plate package prior to the Daytona 500 should separate the cars here at Talladega, particularly with temperatures in the high 80's forecast for Sunday.
"We all know how big of an issue it was to keep the engines cool or the water temp cool (at Daytona)," Gordon said.
"It's going to be a major issue here. I think that is the first thing that we are going to be working on. Really not even pushing, just being in a regular draft. Just trying to see in these temperatures how we are going to be able to manage the water and oil temperature.
"I think it is going to be a real challenge. I wouldn't be surprised if you actually see some concessions before this race starts."
As of Friday evening, NASCAR had not altered the existing cooling package for the cars or changed the size of the restrictor plate. But Gordon anticipated a lot less pushing and more pack racing with the current set-up.
And like most competitors, Gordon is optimistic the drivers will more of a factor in Sunday's outcome.
"What I found at Daytona was getting back to normal drafting, or I guess we could call it the old way of drafting with the pack," Gordon said.
"I feel like the things that I've learned and the things that I have been good at on the restrictor-plate races, the things I learned from Earnhardt years ago, are the tools that you can now use to win the race, which make me more comfortable and make me enjoy this type of racing more; and allows you to create opportunities yourself instead of totally relying on the car that you're pushing or the car that's pushing you.
"So, yeah, I definitely think this brings things back into our own hands a bit."
34 - Sprint Cup drivers who participated in Happy Hour.
199 - Races won by Hendrick Motorsports, Toyota Racing and the No. 11 on a variety of cars.
195.697 mph – Best 10 lap average posted by Brad Keselowski — tops among competitors.
Kyle Busch on whether NASCAR should eliminate the wave around rule during race cautions: "Hell no, hell no. We had that (before the wave around rule) and it was stupid because we were watching lap down cars take the green flag as the leader and the leaders actually in the back of the pack — it was the most confusing thing we've ever seen."

Sylvester Stallone's "Expendables 3″ has finalized it's cast.
Joining the "Rocky" star, back as writer and lead hero, are Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews and Arnold Schwarzenegger, with franchise newbies Mel Gibson, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Harrison Ford, Kellan Lutz, Robert Davi, Ronda Rousey, Victor Ortiz and Glenn Powell.
Here's the official synopsis :
In THE EXPENDABLES 3, Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables — but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables most personal battle yet.
Snipes is said to be playing a Mafia/Mobster type. No word on who Davi ("Die Hard") plays yet.
Absent from the cast list issued by Lionsgate were Jackie Chan, Mickey Rourke, Nicolas Cage and Milla Jovovich, who were all previously rumoured to have joined the cast.

1-2 Lunch
Afternoon session 1: What are the most significant types of drugs needed for the treatment of malaria? Paul Willis will lead a survey of current treatments.
3:30-4 Break
Afternoon session 2: Which compounds should we pursue? Who should do it? How?
5 p.m. Drinks and dinner
Sessions will broadly address these questions:
- How is it best to share chemical and biological data in an open project?
- What technical barriers prevent open science?
- Which licence governs an open source drug discovery project?
- What psychological/professional barriers are there to open science?
- Is there a danger that open source drug discovery can be hijacked by people taking all the data and patenting them?
- Who might participate?
- Who will fund later stages such as clinical trials?
- Who will manufacture open drugs?
- Is the GSK arylpyrrole set the best set of compounds to start with?
- What other compounds are promising starting point? Who might want to work on those compounds?
- For hit-to-lead, what data are typically needed, and from which assays? What criteria do we apply to compounds as they progress through such assays?
- Do we only want to look at compounds with both blood and liver stage activity? (e.g. those in recent Novartis screen) How can we access liver stage viability assays?
- Do we want compounds with cross-species activity, e.g. HAT/Chagas. Can we mine this information from e.g. Chembl?
