The World Food Prize/Borlaug Dialogue held in Des Moines, Iowa, each October is an award and conference named in honour of the late Norman Borlaug, the American plant scientist who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his development of higher-yielding "Green Revolution" wheats for India.
Understandably, much of the dialogue is around the familiar theme of how to double food production by 2050 to feed what is now expected to be a global population of 9.6 billion, with many focusing on seed as the chosen instrument.
"Every farmer in the world knows what to do with a seed. The barriers to adoption are very, very low and the ability to reap benefit is high," said Robb Fraley, Monsanto's chief biotechnology officer and one of this year's World Food Prize laureates.
But there is growing acknowledgement of the sad irony of Borlaug's legacy. Much of his good work is literally going to waste.
"Twenty-one million tonnes of wheat is wasted each year because we don't have the infrastructure," Ashok Gulati, chairman of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices for the government of India, told a seminar at this year's dialogue.
"Eighty to 90 per cent of the policy environment is produce more, produce more, produce more, but the issue is what happens after that, and it's horrendous," Gulati said.
Yemi AkinBamijo, the executive director for the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA), said up to 60 per cent of the crops produced in Africa doesn't reach the marketplace. Dealing with post-harvest losses alone would dramatically reduce the need for increased production, he said. It's estimated that worldwide, more than 30 per cent of food production is wasted.
In our part of the world, food waste is a cultural problem. We take preserving post-harvest quality and getting food to market for granted with our cold, dry climate to help control insects and a handling and transportation network that runs like clockwork.
Other parts of the world lack the basics, such as roads and electricity. Producers can't easily access credit for inputs such as seed and fertilizer. Marketing chains are poorly developed.
That exposes the other inconvenient truth about focusing mainly on production -- enhancing technology to feed the world. Despite huge productivity increases, the number of hungry and malnourished in the world isn't dropping. Most of the hungry are self-employed as small-scale farmers or vendors. They, more than any other sector, are key to not only eradicating hunger but to unleashing a country's economic growth.
In poorer countries, most farmers are smallholders with five acres or less. Street vendors use push carts and typically have one day to sell fresh goods before they spoil. Gulati said solutions for these entrepreneurs can't be so big or expensive they are squeezed out of the picture. "Instead of trampling on these people, they can be a force for change."
Frances Moore Lappé, whose 1971 book Diet for a Small Planet pioneered the notion of ethical eating, also addressed the conference and warned against using scarcity as a reason for increasing food production.
"It is a fear-driven message that there is not enough and we must narrow our focus more and more in order that we keep up this race with population growth," she said. "We go along with a power-concentrating market, driven by one rule -- highest rate of return to existing wealth."
Lappé criticized "almost unthinkable extremes" of concentration of ownership in the food system, noting three companies control 53 per cent of the global commercial seed market.
"So concentrating power that is disempowering billions inevitably creates the experience of scarcity, no matter how much we grow."
This year's World Food Prize went to three pioneers of genetically modified seed technology, including representatives of Monsanto and Syngenta. That drew protests, which some biotechnology proponents labelled an anti-science backlash. Lappé disagreed.
"For me, genetically modified organisms not only fail to address hunger, but they contribute to the concentration of power that is at the root of hunger," Lappé said.
"The protest over this year's prize, it is not just about the seed, it is about the system."

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/15/12 -- ForgeRock Inc., the pioneer of open source Identity and Access Management (IAM), today announced availability of the first and only unified, 100% Open Source Stack to secure applications and services across enterprise, cloud, social and mobile environments. With over 250K downloads in less than 24 months, the ForgeRock Open Identity Stack is rapidly building a rich community of global companies working to deploy identity management infrastructure more easily and economically.
Identity Management is typically overly complex, with high barriers to adoption. The number of users, devices, and identities to manage continues to grow exponentially as enterprise security expands to include cloud, social, and mobile environments -- areas that legacy identity management solutions were not designed to protect.
The Open Identity Stack provides architects, developers, and users with an "all-in-one" platform to deploy identity management through simple, lightweight, modular, and highly scalable identity services. The developer-friendly open source platform abstracts away complexity, exposes simple identity services, ensures compliance and supports developers in easily extending identity and access management solutions beyond the security perimeter to the cloud.
Customers Appreciate Fair Share Pricing
ForgeRock levels the playing field with fair-share subscription offerings to support any Open Identity Stack deployment. Fortune 500 healthcare services and information technology company, McKesson Corporation (NYSE: MCK), is one of the hundreds of commercial customers that have purchased subscriptions with ForgeRock for unlimited support, indemnification, real-time updates, technical expertise, and ongoing R&D investment in the Open Identity Stack.
"ForgeRock's Open Identity Stack provides the next generation of identity management technology at a rational price," said Michael Wilson, VP and CISO at McKesson Corporation, a global health industry leader. "Our developers appreciate the inherent flexibility and scalability of this platform, which allows us to grow and build out over time."
Roger Holmes, Head of Software Engineering at BSkyB (LSE: SKY), a leading pay-TV and home communications provider in the UK & Ireland, chose ForgeRock "because of the straightforward implementation and the integrated platform. We needed a solution suited to our specific needs, but with the capacity to handle identity and access management across all our environments at Internet scale."
Comments on the News:
"Proprietary technologies can preclude innovation that is inherent in open interfaces. ForgeRock, open source and scalable, addresses the full potential of identity management in the new, often virtual and always dynamic enterprise," commented Scott McNealy, Chairman/Co-founder of Wayin, Co-founder of Curriki.org, Advisor/Investor in ForgeRock. "As an open source technology company, ForgeRock has created a robust and innovative community of vendors, developers and customers that ensures low barriers of entry and exit while providing trusted and reliable implementations of IDM."
"Open source democratizes identity management," said Lasse Andresen, ForgeRock founder and CEO. "It allows us to build the only integrated, all-in-one identity stack on the market, designed to work together by our developers and community, from the ground up. The beauty of open source is that you can use the parts you like -- our platform works seamlessly, even paired with legacy technologies."
About ForgeRock:
ForgeRock is pioneering open source identity management through innovation, simplification, and openness for all identity services. Dedicated to democratizing Identity Management for everyone across enterprise, social, mobile, and the cloud, ForgeRock products support mission-critical operations with a fully open source platform. ForgeRock's Open Identity Stack powers solutions for thousands of the world's largest companies and government organizations.

The Space
Bedroom available in a large Fishtown row home!
The house is almost 100 years old with hardwood floors, high ceilings, and lots of natural light. The room has a queen size bed (sleeps two comfortably) and plenty of space for your luggage. There is a shared bathroom for the house.
Other amenities include:
HUGE kitchen (cook a feast if you want to!)
TV with Netflix and HuluPlus
Tons of board games
Ceiling fans in bedroom and living room
Window A/C unit in your bedroom
Hair dryer
Large backyard with grill, fire pit, hammock, and huge trees
Unrestricted street parking (it's free!)
An extremely friendly and loving cat
The Neighborhood
Fishtown is a great neighborhood with lots of character. There are several great bars and pubs within a few blocks' radius and several great restaurants nearby. There are also lots of music venues, art galleries, and coffee shops in the area. There is also a huge supermarket 10 minutes away walking, and a 24 hour 7/11 convenient store 5 minutes away walking.
Getting around
Public transportation is really convenient here, with the Market/Frankford subway line only a 5 minute walk away. That line connects you to most places in the city you'd want to see. It takes about 5 minutes on the train to get to Center City and the Convention Center, and about 10-12 minutes to 30th St. Station.
Smoking is not permitted inside the house. You are welcome to use the kitchen but please clean up after yourselves. We'll leave the lights on for you if we go to bed before you get home, but please turn them off before you go upstairs. If you are using the window A/C unit in your room we ask that you turn it off when you are not home. When you return your key, please lock the doors from the outside of the house and return the keys through the door's mail slot or put them back in the lock box.
Jon & Alison were extremely welcoming from the moment we arrived. Their home is amazing with great vibes all around. From fresh towels, to board games, to a guitar we really felt right at home. Jon & Alison were really great people to be around. They were really helpful at recommending good eats and places to go around the hood. Loco Pez was the perfect mexican food. Would definitely recommend this place to friends!
Jon and Allison were fantastic hosts. As soon as I got to the house they welcomed me in as if I were a roommate, and since I travel a lot it was great to have the feeling of being 'at home.' My room was clean and neat and the house was really comfortable. I loved staying in Fishtown and frequented a bunch of the bars and restaurants. I also enjoyed having access to the subway only a few minutes walk away.
I'd absolutely stay with Jon and Allison again.
Jon and Allison were great. Their home was just. As described and looked just like the picture. It was near and clean and the bed was very comfortable. I would stay with them again. I would only make 1 request that they get a TV for the guest room, other than that it was a great vacation with great accommodations. I enjoyed talking with Jon. He is very interesting.
Jon and Allison were fabulous hosts. The space was awesome. Great people, great location.
I decided on Jon and Allison's place after noticing it was walking distance to where I would be working that weekend and the previous reviews were great,so I decided to try it out. This was my 1st experience using this site and everything went amazing! Jon was very quick to respond to any questions I had. When I arrived they were both home and greeted me. They were both very friendly and told me they'd be in and out all weekend. My work schedule ended up being a little crazier than expected, so I pretty much worked, came back to the place to draw (for work) and went to bed. Even when they were home and I was in my room, it was quiet and I was able to have a nice space to work in. The place was clean, I had everything I needed and their cat was a cutie! He was always there to greet me with purrs and snuggles when I got home. I had a very nice stay and would highly recommend this place. Thank you Jon and Allison!
my friend and I spent a marvelous weekend in Jon and Allison's home. Allison was home when we arrived and was very kind to us. She was very welcoming and gave us good ideas for restaurants.
We shared the bathroom without difficulties and the room where we slept was really clean and lovely. Their home is really great and close to the metro.
I would highly recommend Jon and Allison's house,
Thank you !
Jon and Allison have definitely done this before. They are communicative and responsive. They anticipate guests' needs, and make it easy to come and go from the house. House was very clean and comfortable, as well as being quiet in the evening to get a great night's sleep. The bedroom was furnished with everything needed for a comfortable stay - linens, etc. It was located near public transportation and Fish Town restaurants and shops. A totally easy and pleasurable experience, overall.
This host has 25 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
We are avid travelers (we actually met at a hostel while traveling!) and love to meet fellow travelers from around the world. We love food and enjoy trying out new types of food introduced to us. Because things in life (work and school) have made it more difficult for us to travel as much as we would like to, we like to do the next best thing and meet people traveling in our neck of the woods!

I like Pyatt, but he is what he is at this point.
Yes, it comes down to roles. And its an aspect of the game that is often ignored by a lot of fans, despite it being so critical in determining the value of a player.
Taylor Pyatt is playing well in his role as a 3rd line checking winger who can pot a goal here and there. Why move him up? Why place added pressure on him that he likely cant consistently deliver?
This is why the Kreider thing is so tricky. Tortorella wants him to become a complete player, but at what price? I think he winds up on the top line eventually, but that has more to do with Hagelin being a more complete player right now - I think he can move down to that checking role more seamlessly than Kreider.
If Kreider moves up and still doesnt produce, then we've got real problems.

The influence of the stable expression of BMP2 in fibrin clots on the remodelling and repair of osteochondral defects.
ABSTRACT Growth factors like BMP2 have been tested for osteochondral repair, but transfer methods used until now were insufficient. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse if stable BMP2 expression after retroviral vector (Bullet) transduction is able to regenerate osteochondral defects in rabbits. Fibrin clots colonized by control or BMP2-transduced chondrocytes were generated for in vitro experiments and implantation into standardized corresponding osteochondral defects (n=32) in the rabbit trochlea. After 4 and 12 weeks repair tissue was analysed by histology (HE, alcian-blue, toluidine-blue), immunohistochemistry (Col1, Col2, aggrecan, aggrecan-link protein), ELISA (BMP2), and quantitative RT-PCR (BMP2, Col1, Col2, Col10, Cbfa1, Sox9). In vitro clots were also analysed by BMP2-ELISA, histology (alcian-blue), quantitative RT-PCR and in addition by electron microscopy. BMP2 increased Col2 expression, proteoglycan production and cell size in vitro. BMP2 transduction by Bullet was efficient and gene expression was stable in vivo over at least 12 weeks. Proteoglycan content and ICRS-score of repair tissue were improved by BMP2 after 4 and 12 weeks and Col2 expression after 4 weeks compared to controls. However, in spite of stable BMP2 expression, a complete repair of osteochondral defects could not be demonstrated. Therefore, BMP2 is not suitable to regenerate osteochondral lesions completely.

Article: Use of Tissue Engineering Strategies to Repair Joint Tissues in Osteoarthritis: Viral Gene Transfer Approaches[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major chronic disease of the joints, affecting mostly the articular cartilage but also all the surrounding tissues including the subchondral bone, synovium, meniscus, tendons, and ligaments. Despite the availability in the clinic of a variety of therapeutic approaches, there is crucial need for improved treatment to protect and regenerate the cartilage with full integrity and function. In this regard, combining gene, cell, and tissue engineering-based procedures is an attractive concept for novel, effective therapy against AO, a slow, progressive, and irreversible disease. Here, we provide an overview of the treatment available for management of the progression of the OA phenotype and discuss current progress and remaining challenges for potential future treatment of patients.Current Rheumatology Reports 10/2014; 16(10):449.

Article: Tissue engineered bone using select growth factors: A comprehensive review of animal studies and clinical translation studies in man[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There is a growing socio-economic need for effective strategies to repair damaged bone resulting from disease, trauma and surgical intervention. Bone tissue engineering has received substantial investment over the last few decades as a result. A multitude of studies have sought to examine the efficacy of multiple growth factors, delivery systems and biomaterials within in vivo animal models for the repair of critical-sized bone defects. Defect repair requires recapitulation of in vivo signalling cascades, including osteogenesis, chondrogenesis and angiogenesis, in an orchestrated spatiotemporal manner. Strategies to drive parallel, synergistic and consecutive signalling of factors including BMP-2, BMP-7/OP-1, FGF, PDGF, PTH, PTHrP, TGF-β3, VEGF and Wnts have demonstrated improved bone healing within animal models. Enhanced bone repair has also been demonstrated in the clinic following European Medicines Agency and Food and Drug Administration approval of BMP-2, BMP-7/OP-1, PDGF, PTH and PTHrP. The current review assesses the in vivo and clinical data surrounding the application of growth factors for bone regeneration. This review has examined data published between 1965 and 2013. All bone tissue engineering studies investigating in vivo response of the growth factors listed above, or combinations thereof, utilising animal models or human trials were included. All studies were compiled from PubMed-NCBI using search terms including 'growth factor name', 'in vivo', 'model/animal', 'human', and 'bone tissue engineering'. Focus is drawn to the in vivo success of osteoinductive growth factors incorporated within material implants both in animals and humans, and identifies the unmet challenges within the skeletal regenerative area.European cells & materials 10/2014; 28:166-208. · 4.89 Impact Factor
Article: Tissue-Engineering Strategies to Repair Joint Tissue in Osteoarthritis: Nonviral Gene-Transfer Approaches[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Loss of articular cartilage is a common clinical consequence of osteoarthritis (OA). In the past decade, substantial progress in tissue engineering, nonviral gene transfer, and cell transplantation have provided the scientific foundation for generating cartilaginous constructs from genetically modified cells. Combining tissue engineering with overexpression of therapeutic genes enables immediate filling of a cartilage defect with an engineered construct that actively supports chondrogenesis. Several pioneering studies have proved that spatially defined nonviral overexpression of growth-factor genes in constructs of solid biomaterials or hydrogels is advantageous compared with gene transfer or scaffold alone, both in vitro and in vivo. Notably, these investigations were performed in models of focal cartilage defects, because advanced cartilage-repair strategies based on the principles of tissue engineering have not advanced sufficiently to enable resurfacing of extensively degraded cartilage as therapy for OA. These studies serve as prototypes for future technological developments, because they raise the possibility that cartilage constructs engineered from genetically modified chondrocytes providing autocrine and paracrine stimuli could similarly compensate for the loss of articular cartilage in OA. Because cartilage-tissue-engineering strategies are already used in the clinic, combining tissue engineering and nonviral gene transfer could prove a powerful approach to treat OA.Current Rheumatology Reports 10/2014; 16(10):450.

The Class of 2015.
Steady start for the 2014 Moto3 world champion Alex Marquez on his Moto2 debut.
Andrea Dovizioso could be a good outside bet for a podium this weekend.
Need further proof that the future of motorcycling will include electrics? Take this recently published patent application from Kawasaki, that the Japanese OEM filed for back in 2011. The claims are fairly rudimentary, though they do include a transmission, with Kawasaki's lawyers mostly outlining the basics of a motorcycle powered by an electric motor, of course the news is less about the contents of the patent application, and more about the fact that it was applied for, in the first place. When will we see an electric motorcycle concept from Kawasaki is anyone's guess, though there are two big motorcycle shows coming up in Japan in a couple weeks' time. In reality, we doubt we'll see something so soon from Kawasaki, but if the Kawasaki H2 has shown us anything, it is that anything is possible from Kawasaki right now.
Why would KTM be riding around on a camouflaged Aprilia Tuono V4? That is the question of the day, after a spy photographer caught the Austrian company testing in Spain with such a machine. The answer of course points to KTM working on a V4 street bike platform, which shouldn't be too surprising since KTM CEO Stefan Pierer already tipped the media off to the fact that it is working on a MotoGP entry that would be based around a beastly V4 engine called the RC16. While Pierer confirmed the MotoGP, as well as a track-only consumer version of the GP bike, zie Austrians have been mum about other motorcycles in KTM's lineup sharing the new V4 powerplant.
Adventure riders, you prayers have been answered. Honda is set to debut a new off-road model at the Osaka Motorcycle Show, the Honda CRF250 Rally. Based off the Honda CRF250L platform, the Rally concept is basically the CRF250L with rally-styled bodywork. The Honda CRF250 Rally concept will get its worldwide debut alongside the Honda True Adventure concept, which we first saw at last year's EICMA show. This makes for an interesting dichotomy, as the CRF250 Rally is set to look like the CRF450 Rally race bike, while the True Adventure (cough, Africa Twin, cough) borrows heavily from the race bike's technology package. With Honda showing a 250cc ADV model and a 1,000cc model at the same show, one has to wonder when a consumer-level version of the CRF450 Rally race bike will be ready as well.
After it first debuted in Indonesia last October, the Honda SFA concept motorcycle seems to be getting serious, as Honda will be showing the up-market bike at this weekend's Osaka Motorcycle Show and next weekend's Tokyo Motorcycle Show. While Honda only mentions that the SFA concept is a "street-fighter style light-weight motorcycle with a single cylinder engine mounted on a trellis frame," sources in Indonesia say the fetching small-displacement machine is built around the 150cc CB150R for that market. Whether this means that Honda will make more premium-focused 150cc machines, and bring them to markets outside of Asia remains to be seen, though it is clear that the Japanese firm is taking such an approach under serious consideration.
Italy's favorite boutique brand will be back at the Isle of Man TT races this year, with a two rider team that includes American Brandon Cretu. Cretu and his teammate Ben Wylie will campaign for Bimota at the big four road races (North West 200, Isle of Man TT, Ulster Grand Prix, and Macau GP) on-board the Bimota BB3 superbike. This is not the first time that Cretu and Wylie have raced together, having shared a pit while at the Wylie Racing team during the 2011 and 2012 Isle of Man TT races. Though the Bimota BB3 was ruled ineligible for FIM events, the international road racing scene has no hang-ups letting the S1000RR-powered superbikes lineup on the starting grid.
We are still waiting for the 2015 MV Agusta F4 RC to break cover officially, but the top-of-the-line superbike from Varese continues to make itself sneakily available to the public. First there were the leaked studio photos, which looked spot-on to the photos MV Agusta USA teased us with at its press launch earlier this year. Now, we have more photos of the F4 RC leaking, though with some changes to the design — namely more prominent "AMG" badging, for MV Agusta's newest minority partner. The 2015 MV Agusta F4 RC isn't supposed to arrive at dealerships until June 2015; and when it does, it will be in limited numbers. The F4 RC is MV Agusta's homologation special for World Superbike and domestic superbike racing classes.
Aprilia Racing boss Romano Albesiano has big shoes to fill. Taking over from Gigi Dall'Igna, Albesiano must continue the legacy of success which his predecessor left for him. He got off to a good start, Sylvain Guintoli lifting the World Superbike title in Albesiano's first year at the helm. Now comes the hard part, following up on that success and expanding into MotoGP. A small group of journalists spoke to Albesiano at the Aprilia launch in Milan. In a wide-ranging conversation, the Aprilia boss covered many topics, including explaining why the Noale firm came back to MotoGP a year ahead of schedule, touching on what the new bike Aprilia is working on for 2016 and beyond might look like, and the 2016 rules in MotoGP.
In a recent interview by Moto.it with Claudio Domenicali, the Ducati CEO fielded a number of questions about the Italian company's business and its relationship with its German owners (read it here in Google English), but one question was of particular interest: a Ducati Scooter. The often rumored, often debated, and often denied subject is perhaps the most feared topics for Ducatisti, and it ranks generally just below discussions on which oil to use, which tires are best, and how to break-in a motorcycle engine properly. That being said, it seems we are headed for another round of debate, as Domenicali is quoted as saying the following to Moto.it: "a scooter marked Ducati is not blasphemy."
The 93rd running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb may be over three months away, but the historic American road race released its official entry list this week, with some interesting participants for 2015's Race to the Clouds. So far with 78 motorcycle entries confirmed, our attention was piqued with the entry of a 2015 Kawasaki H2 sport bike by Japan's Takahiro Itami. Bringing things more locally, Colorado-based Ronin Motorcycles has an entry with one the company's 47 heavily modified Buells, with Pikes Peak class-winner Travis Newbold at the helm. While Pikes Peak has several "To Be Determined" motorcycle entries still to disclose, noticeably absent from the entry list are many of the race's recent top-finishers.
Aprilia Racing officially debuted its MotoGP team today, giving us our first glimpse of Marco Melandri and Alvaro Bautista in the team's racing livery. It is also our first glimpse of the Aprilia RS-GP race bike all kitted-out, which should be a treat for the tech-heads in the crowd. The RS-GP is an evolution of the Aprilia ART project, now with pneumatic valves, an 81mm bore, and evolved electronics. There is a lot of ahead for Aprilia Racing, Gresini Racing, and their riders. The first check box is developing the chassis, finding one that gives both riders the confidence they need to push the RS-GP to its limits. Aprilia is said to have an all-new bike in the works for the 2016 season, but the development of that machine will take cues from what Aprilia Racing learns this year with the RS-GP.
The Class of 2015.
Steady start for the 2014 Moto3 world champion Alex Marquez on his Moto2 debut.
Andrea Dovizioso could be a good outside bet for a podium this weekend.
I'm going to start the 2nd and final part of my 2014 photo retrospective with the image above of Marc Marquez. Taken at Woodcote during Sunday mornings warm up for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Woodcote was one of the most exhilarating sections of track I shot last year. The sensation of speed as the riders came past, back wheel sliding, only feet away was indescribable.
As the countdown to the new season gathers momentum I thought I'd have a look back at some of my favourite photographs from 2014.
The image above of Scott Redding was taken as he came in for a tire change during qualifying at Le Mans. Sometimes the riders will disappear to the back of the garage during qualifying.
If you're lucky they will stay on the bike while the crew get to work. If they do, it provides a great opportunity for a portrait as was the case here.
After 13 races, 4 continents, 10 countries, 48 flights, 4 ferry journeys, and a train ride. It was time to pack my bag for the last time and take my final four flights of the 2014 MotoGP season.
I had been looking forward to the Valencia weekend. Despite it being the final race of the year. I was sharing a house with friends, and it promised to be an enjoyable weekend.
From the cool of Melbourne it was on to the heat and humidity of Malaysia, for the Malaysian Grand Prix at the Sepang Circuit.
Clare and I arrived into Malaysia on Tuesday evening. For our first two nights we had decided to stay in downtown Kuala Lumpur, and picked a hotel close to the Petronas Towers to give us easy access to the rest of the city.
We had treated ourselves to a room with a Twin Towers view and what a view it was. I think you would struggle to find a better view of the towers anywhere in the city.
After spending Wednesday exploring Kuala Lumpur, we met up with Stephen and Trev who arrived from Melbourne. Trev and Clare stayed in the city for a bit more sightseeing and Stephen and I headed to track to collect our credentials.
I'd not found the heat of downtown Kuala Lumpur to bad, it was hot but I was coping okay. The area of the track was a whole different ball game.
After only three days at home following the Aragon weekend, I was packing my suitcase again and leaving for Australia. The race was still over two weeks away, but I was going for a holiday in Australia with Clare first.
I've been to Australia a few times. Clare has family in Sydney and spent some time traveling when she finished university, but on our previous visits neither of us had been to Queensland.
After some deliberation we decided on some time in Brisbane and Cairns before driving to Port Douglas. Port Douglas being a perfect base to visit the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest.
Before I begin I would like to apologise to the readers of Asphalt & Rubber for my tardiness in bringing you the Aragon story. When I arrived home from Aragon I went straight on holiday to Australia.
I'm finally sitting down to write this from a bar in Gatwick Airport, as I wait for my flight back to the Isle of Man following the Malaysian race.
Apologies over, back to Aragon.
I'd been looking forward to the Aragon race for most of the year. The track looked great and I'd been able to get a room in a house rented by ace MotoGP photographer Andrew Wheeler. There were several other photographers and journalists staying there, so it had the makings of an excellent weekend.
The circuit at Aragon is out in the middle of nowhere. The closest and most convenient airport for me was Barcelona which was around two and half hour drive away.

|Loyd holds ward meeting

By BRIAN HODGE
Millbrook City Council representative Joyce Loyd, of Ward 1 held her first ward meeting of the year recently at the Millbrook Civic Center. Loyd has held a ward meeting each quarter of 2013 and says interest in the meetings is growing among her constituents.
"This time our ward meeting was well attended, approximately 44 people were present," Loyd said.
Mayor Al Kelley gave updates on city projects and ordinances and Chief P.K. Johnson of the Millbrook Police Department spoke of safety in the city.
Loyd said it appears to her that Millbrook residents, not just those in Ward 1, are giving her positive feedback on ward meetings as informal, but informative gatherings.
"I discussed up coming projects to include a possible park in the Sandtown area. I will have an upcoming townhall meeting in that area to solicit feedback from the community. Also we discussed having a Community Health Fair to promote awareness. These two projects are top on my list.
Loyd also says shes has ideas about providing senior transportation within the city in the future.
"It is just an idea at this juncture but I will work on it becoming a relevant topic," Loyd said.
Loyd added her next ward meeting will be held in April

Chief welcomes homes, not third-party manager
OTTAWA -- Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence says her community appreciates the federal government's decision to send more modular homes to the isolated Northern Ontario reserve. But she insists she will not co-operate with a third-party manager appointed by the Harper government to review the band's finances.
Her comments followed a statement by John Duncan, the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, who said Sunday Ottawa has purchased an additional seven homes on top of the 15 previously announced, to help the community deal with a housing crisis.
The minister's statement, however, stated matter-of-factly that "Chief Spence has acknowledged the necessity of working with our government, the third-party management team, and Emergency Management Ontario to get help to the residents of Attawapiskat."
"This statement is completely false and untrue and the minister has been misinformed," Spence said in a statement issued late Sunday.
Spence said she got a call from Duncan's aid on Sunday morning informing her of the minister's expected announcement. "I informed the aide that third-party management is not to be part of the announcement. I requested that a copy of the release be emailed to me to verify our conversation."
A call from a reporter asking her to comment on Duncan's statement arrived before the email she had requested from the minister's office.
"I appreciate and my members appreciate the assistance being provided for renovations, trailers and expertise," wrote Spence.
"I will not accept our First Nation to operate under third-party management, nor will I pay for them out of our band support allocation."
Ottawa's latest offer also included renovations to the community's healing centre so it could temporarily house vulnerable residents until the new homes arrive.
An official with the minister's office said they hoped winter roads would freeze so that the shipment of the homes can start in January.
Duncan also said wood stoves, composting toilets and other supplies were flown into the community Saturday.

Published October 19, 1995
New York City and state officials met yesterday with Yankees Owner George Steinbrenner and agreed to "carry out studies of three possible stadium sites for a new stadium," according to Vivian Toy of the N.Y. TIMES. The sites include two in the Bronx and one in Manhattan. Officials did not rule out keeping the team at their present site. Steinbrenner also agreed to pay 1/3 of expenses for the studies, estimated to cost as much as $600,000. Toy writes the "willingness to spend $200,000 is an indication that the Yankees want to stay" in New York (N.Y. TIMES, 10/19). The N.Y. POST reports the three sites are Van Cortlandt Park and Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx and the 34th St. rail yards, south of Javits Center, on the West Side. One source told the POST "interest is centered" on Manhattan (Christopher Policano, N.Y. POST, 10/19). In NEWSDAY, Steve Zipay examines how stadiums affect franchise values. FINANCIAL WORLD Editor Douglas McIntyre claims that if Steinbrenner "ever got his dream stadium, his team would be worth more than the Cowboys" (NEWSDAY, 10/19).

The Gryphon swim team posted impressive results over the reading week
Led by the efforts of potential Olympian Alisha Harricharan and rookie Evan Van Moerkerke, the Gryphons have dazzled in the pool on the provincial and national levels.
Dating back to the OUA Championships from Feb. 7-9 in Toronto, the Gryphons have combined to tally 17 total medals at the provincial and national level. In the last few weeks, Guelph has proven that they can hang with the traditional swimming contenders like Western, Toronto, and McMaster.
Guelph finished fourth overall in both the men's and women's divisions at the OUA finals. Gold medals from the OUA rookie of the year Van Moerkerke in the 100-metre and 50-metre freestyle events as well as a silver in the 100-metre backstroke encapsulated an impressive performance by the young standout. A gold in the 200-metre and silver in the 100-metre were won by Matthew Stephenson, and Derek Quick earned a bronze in the 1500-metre freestyle.
Harricharan earned gold in the 50, 100, and 200-metre butterfly events, setting an OUA record in the 100-metre. With the assistance of Tess Wey, Sasha Boulton, and Erica Pate, Harricharan also earned bronze in the 400-metre freestyle relay. For her efforts, Harricharan was named the OUA female swimmer of the year.
Harricharan and Van Moerkerke led their respective squads into the CIS Championships held in Calgary from Feb. 21-23. Both would earn two medals over the course of the championship.
Harricharan earned gold in the 100-metre with a time of 59.72, shaving nearly half a second off the OUA record-breaking time. A bronze in the 50-metre butterfly rounded out her performance on the national stage.
Evan Van Moerkerke concluded an impressive few weeks by capturing bronze in both the 50 and 100-metre freestyle events. His times were 22.99 in the 50-metre, and 46.65 in the 100-metre.
The strong performances by these two led to a 14th-placefinish on both the men's and women's side of the competition.
The men's side was won by the University of Toronto for the first time in 18 years, ending a frustrating national drought for the perennial contender. The University of British Columbia and the University of Calgary rounded out the top three. A mere 25 points separated Toronto from Calgary in the final standings.
The women's side was dominated by the University of British Columbia, as the Thunderbirds scorched the competition to win with 150 points more than second-place finishing Calgary. The Toronto women finished third in the championship.
No Gryphons were selected for individual awards, and both swimmers of the year came from the Thunderbirds. The sprinter's cup, awarded to the athlete that wins both the 50 and 100-metre freestyle events, was only awarded on the women's side, going to Caroline Lapierre-Lemire of the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières.
With both Harricharan and Van Moerkerke returning next year, there remains an excellent opportunity for both the men and women of the Gryphon swim team to maintain and improve their standing within the university swimming landscape, an excitement that is sure to be experienced as the team continues the year-round process of training for next season.

Elizabeth Smart marries in Hawaiian Mormon temple
LAIE, Hawaii — Elizabeth Smart and Matthew Gilmour were married Saturday on the North Shore of the island of Oahu.
The couple exchanged vows at the Laie Hawaii Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in front of a small group of immediate family members, according to a statement released by Smart family spokesman Chris Thomas.
The wedding party was celebrated at a private reception and luau. Following Saturday's festivities, the couple planned to leave on an extended honeymoon to an undisclosed location.
"Elizabeth's desire was for what most women want — to celebrate her nuptials in a private wedding with family and close friends," Thomas said.
When the couple became engaged just last month, they made plans to get married this summer. But the couple recently decided the move the date up by several months.
"After the story broke about her engagement and the media became increasingly invasive, Elizabeth recognized it was going to be impossible to have a traditional wedding devoid of distractions and unusual challenges outside of her control," Thomas said. "She decided, about a week ago, the best way to avoid significant distraction was to change her wedding plans and to get married in an unscheduled ceremony outside of Utah."
Gilmour, of Aberdeen, Scotland, and Smart met while she was serving an LDS mission in France.
Smart rose to international prominence after she was kidnapped at knife point from her parents' Salt Lake home in 2002 by Brian David Mitchell. Smart, then 14, was held by her captors for nine months, enduring repeated sexual abuse. She was rescued when she, Mitchell and Mitchell's wife, Wanda Barzee, were spotted in Sandy in March of 2003.
She testified against Mitchell, who was convicted of kidnapping and rape in U.S. District Court in 2010. He is currently serving a life sentence. Barzee is serving a 15-year sentence in a federal prison for her role in the crimes.
Many people who watched Smart testify against Mitchell at trial and during sentencing commented on her poise and confidence on the witness stand.
She has said on a number of occasions that she has been guided by the advice of her mother, who told her the day after her rescue that Mitchell may have taken nine months of her life from her, but she must not allow him to take one more minute.
Smart has advised other victims "not to let it hold them back."
Since her rescue, she served an LDS mission, formed a foundation to advocate on behalf of children, attends BYU and works as commentator for ABC News.
Upon returning from their honeymoon, Smart "looks forward to continuing her child advocacy work," Thomas said. "Her wedding further demonstrates it is possible to rise above challenging circumstance to lead a happy and productive life."
