Read more: Irish American Endeavour Commander prepares for final shuttle launch
NASA officials have announced that the final launch of the Endeavour shuttle will be delayed until at least Sunday due to technical problems. Launch director, Mike Leinbach, cancelled the launch just as Mark Kelly and his crew was travelling by van out to their shuttle.
It was planned that Kelly's wife Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who is recovering from a gunshot to the brain, along with his family and President Barack Obama were to be on hand for the launch.
Although the weather had been a concern, due to the blustery, stormy weather hanging over Cape Canaveral it was a technical problem that grounded the launch. The issue was with a thermostat on one of the fuel lines tied to Auxiliary Power Unit 1 heaters. This provides hydraulic power to steer the craft during ascent and descent.
Leinbach said "We will fly no orbiter before she's ready…Today she just wasn't ready to go…We need to keep those lines warm to keep things from freezing in orbit. We tried to let the line cool down by normal means to see if the heater would kick in by normal means. That did not work."
He said the soonest the shuttle could launch would be Monday afternoon but even that is tenuous. Leinbach said the three-day turn-around would be "an absolute minimum".
Thousands of disappointed fans have been crowding the coastal communities preparing for lift off. Police in the area were forecasting major traffic delays and schools in the area were to dismiss class early to watch the launch.
President Obama still plans to visit Cape Canaveral on Friday. He will tour an orbiter processing facility at NASA. This would have been the first time in NASA history that a serving president witnessed a launch.

Why are streptocarpus leaves like this, i let it dry out
I've read carefully all the care instructions about these guys because i know they can be tricky and i don't know what i'm doing wrong now... i let it become completely bone dry between waterings. It was 6 leaves all together and i noticed when it's bone dry four leavess are still very erect and stiff. It's those two that i noticed got all droopy all of a sudden. Was that my mistake? should i have waited until the big leaves were slightly droopy?
The soil for them is very fast draining so i dont think that is a problem.
I really don't want to loose geraldo lol
This post was edited by katsols on Tue, Mar 19, 13 at 13:58
Katsols, the problem could be you let it dry too much, thus shocking the plant. Are you sure the soil was bone dry? It may look dry at the top but where the roots are could have been still wet. Though I doubt that is the case because if too wet the whole plant will tend to collapse.
If all leaves were droopy when you watered and the two outer leaves have not revived, try placing a clear plastic bag over it for a few days to see if they perk up. DO NOT leave the plant in direct sun! Place it in a bright spot. This should help the plant if it was shocked by being too dry. The leaves should revive but if they do not you can always cut those affected off. Take off the bag and return to it's original spot.
To avoid this from happening again, stick your finger into the soil down and inch or two. If wet, don't water,if slightly damp then it is safe to water. The key is to avoid the extremes too much or too little water. If you rather not stick your finger in, then take a sharpened pencil and stick it I the soil. If it comes out wet, don't water. Hope this helps. Irina may have some more ideas or tips to share. She's very knowledgeable. I sure she will post as well.
Dave is so right - avoid extremes. If you lift the pot -- and it is light - - time to water it. Do not wait until the leaves are all droopy. Somebody wrote that he can see the difference in a leaf sheen - I guess they look dull before they start drooping - and it is the time.
The second thing I want to mention - pop the plant out - and add soil to the bottom. They do like to be above the rim, kind of on the top of the hill - probably because improves the air circulation in the root area.
I think you can trim these smaller droopy leaves - it will stimulate the growth of the new ones.

Gallery: Good Eggs: New Online Hub Connects Locavores and Local Foods
A new online marketplace launched July 26 promises to bring together consumers and providers of local foods worldwide. The site is called Good Eggs, and it provides storefronts and e-commerce capabilities for local-foods providers — farmers, bakers, caterers, canners, coffee-grinders, and other businesses. Locavores can search for farmers and foodmakers by city and neighborhood and order online.
Good Eggs is the brainchild of Rob Spiro, a project lead for Google+ and co-founder of Aardvark, a "social search" service that was acquired by Google in 2010. Spiro serves as CEO of Good Eggs; co-founder Alon Salant is CTO.
Spiro tells me that Good Eggs came about because he and Salant wanted "to start a mission-driven company that would make a positive change in the world." It might sound "corny," he admits, but "It's a chance to apply high-quality craftsmanship of software towards a noble purpose."
To Spiro, the most exciting thing about this new venture "is that the food tastes great. At the end of the day, it's just more delicious food than you'll find anywhere else. The local food phenomenon is already making significant change in the world, and we see an opportunity to accelerate that change with great technology."
Good Eggs is now piloting its model in a few neighborhoods in the San Francisco Bay Area, with plans to roll out to the entire Bay Area by the end of 2012 and other cities in the U.S. and worldwide after that.

Satisfactory hotel, beware noisy guests above you if you take a ground floor room! Otherwise normal Premier Inn does what it says on the tin. This one has a Brewers Fare restaurant, which appears to be very old
Review collected in partnership with premierinn.com
Stayed here for one night en route to the West Country, and would recommend this Premier iIn over the other one in Bracknell simply because it looks quieter.As other reviewers have stated, it is very handy for Legoland at Windsor and the M25. Our room was up to the usual excellent standards that you expect from a Premier Inn. We...
Used this hotel as a stopover before dropping two teenagers for a train from Reading station. Very easy to find the hotel when travelling from M25. Upon arrival staff were extremely pleasant and helpful.
Chose to stay here before a job interview at Waitrose HQ. Staff were very friendly and are available 24/7.
Room was immaculate, bed was very comfy.Would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to stay in the area.
Great stay, friendly staff, quiet and comfy rooms.free half hour a day WiFi then you pay.
Near to Ascot and Windsor short drive.
Buses to Bracknell centre or reading to access trains.
But unless your staying for buissness or family its not advisable if no car.
We would stay again, great breakfast to as Beefeaters on site for dinners to.
Stayed over on a Sunday night at this premier inn as we were visiting Lapland uk the following day. Perfect location, took us about 10 minutes to get from the hotel to our destination the following morning. We have stayed in a lot of premier inns and use them time and time again as they are good value for money...
Ideal over night stay after a magical day at Lapland UK. Friendly welcome & very family friendly overall. Room was clean & we all had a comfy nights sleep. Have reduced the rating due to breakfast, having to wait 30 mins for cooked food & then half of my husbands were missing!
We were lucky enough to have tickets for England v Tonga, but as it was an evening kickoff, we decided to stay overnight and drive back to Bristol the following day. Having tried to find a hotel close to Twickenham at a reasonable price and failing, I found the Twin Bridges Premier Inn at Bracknell. The price was right and...
Stayed here on business. Genuinely friendly staff. Clean and quiet. Exactly what you would expect from a Premier inn. I was staying on my own and felt safe and secure. Excellent breakfast as well. No sign of the costa coffee though...
Stayed here 1 night as visited legoland with family. Good location and easy to reach from theme park. Restaurant next door very good loads to choose from and good value for money and breakfast also very good quality overall our stay was excellent

Helping people. Saving gorillas.™
December 3, 2012
On Dec. 2, 2012, one of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International's anti-poaching camps near Volcanoes National Park was attacked, and a member of our anti-poaching team – Esdras Nsengiyumva – was killed by gunfire. Our other rangers escaped and one suffered injuries due to a fall while getting away. According to Rwandan officials, the attack was carried out by the DR Congo-based FDLR. The camp was heavily damaged in the process and equipment was taken.
The Fossey Fund is deeply saddened to have to add the name of Esdras Nsengiyumva to the list of those who have lost their lives while trying to protect the endangered mountain gorillas, a list that includes Dian Fossey herself.
Esdras Nsengiyumva began working with Fossey Fund in March 2009 as a tracker in Titus' group. His very high score on the recruitment exam proved to be a good indicator of the dedicated and talented tracker he would become. After Nsengiyumva's work in Titus' group, he joined Isabukuru's team, where he was a tracker until January 2012, when he began working with our anti-poaching team.
Nsengiyumva lived with his family in Kinigi, not far from Volcanoes National Park. He died at the age of 33, leaving behind a wife, Twagirayesu Dumytila and a daughter, 3-year-old Irahoza Alliance.
Everyone at the Fossey Fund is very grateful for Nsengiyumva's years of service and for the variety of roles he played in monitoring gorillas, both as a tracker and as a member of the anti-poaching team. His loss is deeply felt by all who knew him and worked with him.
Veronica Vecellio, the Fossey Fund's gorilla program coordinator says, "Everyone always enjoyed sharing a day in the forest with Esdras. He was always smiling and in a good mood even on days with severe conditions. Because of his fluency in French and some knowledge of English, he often initiated interesting and entertaining conversations. Despite his short experience in the field he soon developed a bright confidence and knowledge of the forest and gorilla behavior. We will miss him."
The Fossey Fund is providing assistance to Nsengiyumva's family and we are determined to rebuild the anti-poaching camp and carry on our gorilla protection work fully, despite these difficult times.
Studying and protecting gorillas would not be possible without your support for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International's daily monitoring and protection of endangered gorillas and their habitats. To help, take action-donate.
The cold, wet climate and dense rainforest wears out the clothes and equipment of our patrols quickly. Help Us Remain Vigilant!

Historical institutional abuse
The Northern Ireland Executive set up an inquiry and investigation into historical institutional abuse. That is, abuse of children under 18 who were living in children's homes, borstals, training schools, juvenile justice centres, hospitals and orphanages in Northern Ireland between 1922 and 1995.
The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry
The Inquiry is independent from government and has two main components. One is the Acknowledgement Forum, whose members have been listening to the experiences of those who were children in residential institutions (other than schools) in Northern Ireland between 1922 and 1995. The work of the Acknowledgement Forum has now ended.
The other component is the Statutory Inquiry. This is investigating whether children suffered abuse in the same institutions between 1922 and 1995, and gathers evidence from those who say they suffered abuse in those institutions, as well as evidence from the institutions themselves, and evidence from government and other public bodies such as health and social care trusts.
The Statutory Inquiry component started its public hearings in January 2014.
The closing date for submitting an application to the Inquiry was Friday 29 November 2013.
Help for victims and survivors
A support service for historical institutional abuse victims and survivors has been established and help, support and advice is available in the following areas:
- benefits and housing
- debt and personal finance
- education and further education, jobs and training
- searching for personal records
- help with reporting abuse incidents to the police
If you need help or advice with any of these issues, contact the support service (Monday to Friday between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm) on:
- phone: 028 9075 0131
The service will also provide non-crisis counselling for victims and survivors of historical institutional abuse.
For those who require crisis counselling, and are in distress or despair because of historical institutional abuse, support is available at the Lifeline helpline:
- phone: 0808 808 8000
- Lifeline (contacts section)
You can call free, in confidence, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Somewhere for victims and survivors to meet and talk
Two drop in centres for historical institutional abuse victims and survivors were established, one in Belfast and one in Derry/ Londonderry. Historical institutional abuse victims and survivors can get together every Friday to discuss issues, meet with peers and ease tensions and anxieties over a cup of tea or coffee. A trained counsellor is on hand to offer extra help and support as required.
The Belfast drop in centre is provided by Relate NI is located at the following address:Relate offices
3rd Floor
Glengall Exchange
3 Glengall Street
- phone: 028 9032 3454
The Derry/Londonderry drop-in centre is provided by WAVE and is located at:Wave Trauma Centre
23a Bishop Street
- phone number: 028 7126 6655
Reporting abuse to the PSNI
The PSNI has specialist units who will investigate all reports of institutional abuse. You can find addresses and phone numbers for these units by using the following link.

Posted: Mon Sep 30 2013
Sometimes underestimated and reduced to a supporting role in the cubist canon, Braque has for too long rested in Picasso's shadow. The inventor of the collage (he started to assemble bits of paper very young, thanks to his father who was a painter and decorator), initiator of cubism, sculptor, engraver, painter affiliated to a classic French tradition but also a precursor of abstraction, Georges Braque (1882-1963) is well deserving of a retrospective to match his talents. There hasn't been one since 1973, but now, in an immense exhibition covering all aspects of his work from fauvism up to his final pieces, the Grand Palais is attempting to take the measure of this endlessly inventive artist who declared that 'conformism begins with definition'. This is an opportunity to solidify his important role in the cubist movement, but also to consider his figure paintings from the 1920s, and his recurrent explorations of still life and landscapes. Completed with a large collection of related exhibits (including many previously unseen items, like photographs by Man Ray and Cartier-Bresson), the exhibition attempts to make the whole artistic project of Braque accessible, looking at his relationship with Picasso, his interest in music, his friendship with Erik Satie, his association in the poets René Char and François Ponge, and the writer and publisher Jean Paulhan.

Leduc creates 50 prosperous years
One spewing geyser of oil at Leduc, Alta., on Feb. 13, 1947, transformed the province's economy. Until the oil strike Alberta struggled as a have-not province. Leduc "blowing in" was famous and rare because Albertans had never imagined large oil reserves existed beneath the wheat. But ownership of the resource challenged by the national energy program became a political battle: East versus West, Trudeau versus Lougheed. Today, the Leduc legacy lives on with Alberta paying off its debt in 2000 and countless barrels of crude yet to be extracted.
The rest of Canada can also be thankful for Leduc. At anniversary celebrations, Federal Minister of Natural Resources Anne McLellan says, "What would Ontario's manufacturing industry look like today if Leduc Number One had been a dry hole?"
. In 2002, Canada's oil industry was worth $42 billion annually and employed at least 525,000 people.
. In 2000, Alberta's oil investments topped $23 billion - over 200 times the amount spent in 1946 before the Leduc strike.
. Alberta's Athabasca oil sand deposit is Canada largest source of oil. By 1995, the sands had already produced a billion barrels of oil. The reserves are estimated to hold at least 1.7 trillion barrels.
. In 2000, the development of Alberta oil, especially at the Athabasca sands, helped the provincial government eliminate its net debt, set income tax at a flat rate of 10 per cent and do away with provincial sales tax.

Quantum Healing

This ebook is available in the following countries:
- Gibraltar
- Guernsey
- Ireland
- Isle of Man
- Jersey
- United Kingdom
This is an extraordinary new approach to healing by an extraordinary physician-writer - a book filled with the mystery, wonder, and hope of people who have experienced seemingly miraculous recoveries from cancer and other serious illnesses. Dr Deepak Chopra, a respected New England endocrinologist, began his search for answers when he saw patients in his own practice who completely recovered after being given only a few months to live. In the mid-1980s he returned to his native India to study Ayurveda, humanity's most ancient healing tradition.
Now he has brought together the current research of Western medicine, neuroscience, and physics with the insights of Ayurvedic theory to show that the human body is controlled by a 'network of intelligence' grounded in quantum reality. Not a superficial psychological state, this intelligence lies deep enough to change the basic patterns that design our physiology - with the potential to defeat cancer, heart disease, and even aging itself. In this inspiring and pioneering work, Dr Chopra offers us both a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving chronicle of hope and healing.less

Post Content
In Illinois...been 60+ degrees the last 2 days...windows open, no coat needed..muggy, foggy,
I can always tell these storms are coming because I have pressure pushing down on my skull/severe headaches/dizzy/nauseous feelings for a couple days before they hit and until they are all played out..
sometimes, it just takes the rain to release the pressure, but not always..this one is going to be a good one..even has my bones aching...(the ones that I broke, in the past)
I remember the storm of 78...before my parents had a wood stove..lived in country(they are still at same place) and dad had to put chains on truck to get us to town to stay with friends...it was not just snow, but ICE
power went out...extremely cold...ice, snow..power lines down..Looking back, it reminds me of Narnia..beautiful..
I was 8 years old and will never forget that..
Icicles everywhere, tree limbs breaking from the weight of the ice..
The next year, dad had a wood stove put in(they still have same one, it was actually featured in Good Housekeeping..not sure how they came across our stove, but, anyway)
I remember Dad even had to put chains on the tractor(he did not have one with a cab at that time..poor man..) and put out extra hay for cattle as we were not sure how long it would last..he did not lose any, bless his heart. ;)...<<point to this,DON'T forget your animals..
Be safe, all..Better to be prepared and not need, than to need and not be prepared..:)
ETA>>>those who have gas furnaces, remember, in severe cold weather, the line will freeze and you will not have any heat...happened to me, once..I was naive and shocked to learn that a gas line could freeze...lol live and learn..
so make sure you have a plan if this happens to you.

UFC fans have long created funny videos picking on their favorite (or most hated) mixed martial arts fighters. Said videos scale up and down the hilarity meter, but we here at HeavyMMA think this one falls close to the "epic" end of that meter.

You there! Stop! Whatever you do: don't touch that pen. Before you write even one word of that outline, there's something you need to think about long and hard. It's a very important question. It will determine whether your first draft is filled with tears of rage and despair or with joy, rainbows, and mechanical unicorns. It is the most important of important questions, and I ask it with all seriousness: Have you sat down and thought about what kind of a writer you are recently? And no, I don't mean what overworked, underappreciated, underpaid writers whose creativity's constantly under assault by the mundane demands of everyday life we all are. I mean what you do well, what you suck at, and what you hope one day to not suck at. Believe me, this is a far more important question than picking out your hero's name (though that is also a process rife with peril).
See, the success of a book isn't just the quality of the idea—it's also how well the idea fits your skill set and interests. I know designing your book around things you do well and avoiding things you do badly sounds like a total no brainer—but it's actually not very intuitive. Most people are so wrapped up in the agonies of the harrowing that is outlines that they don't think about how they made that thing they hate integral to the plot until it's far too late—or worse, they don't even have an outline, and they wrote themselves into a literary corner filled with all their least favorite writing techniques. Not to mention, giving your talents a place to shine can be hard when you happened to design a plot that doesn't give you a place to show them off.
So take a little time and think about yourself. You're far more likely to finish a book you're jazzed writing than one that fills you with dread. And who knows? You may even come up with an idea or two for a new book while you're at it! Here are a few questions to get you started.
Brag to Me, Baby
Humbleness is well and good. But pre-book time is no time to be humble. I want you to brag to me, baby. Toot your own horn. Sing your own praises from the rooftops. Because I want you to think about what you do really well—and I don't mean about how you really know your way around a comma, or how you hardly ever misplace quotation marks. I mean the kinds of scenes you delight in—and that equally delight your readers. Those blessed writing moments that are so "easy" you don't spare them a second thought—may we all have more of them.

I was unsure if the space I had would be large enough when we were moving in on a holiday so the associate, Dave, by phone provided me with overflow space next to the one I was renting. He understood perfectly what I needed and how to solve my problem.Michael from Chicago, IL

August 9, 2014
I was very impressed with the level of service as well as the facility. I was greeted immediately when I walked in and the sale associate was so helpful and prompt. I am moving and needed to store some books and am very happy to have been recommended your facility by a friend. When moving my belongings into storage my brother even commented how clean and secure the facility was. When I was shown around my sales associate even knew the names of people who were moving materials into storage units which provided a very friendly atmosphere. I left thinking what great customer service skills she had. Would highly recommend to anyone!Meaghan from Gardena, CA

Intel Officially Lifts the Veil On Ivy Bridge 200
from the check-it-out dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Sounds a little like Microsoft's method.
Win 95 - Tock
Win 98 - Tick
Win Me - Sproing
Win 2000 - Tock
Win XP - Tock
XP SP1 - Tick
XP SP2 - Tock
XP SP3 - Tick
Vista - Tock sprooooing
Win 7 - Tick
Win 8 - Tock (maybe)
I know this is how intel defines it, but that's always seemed odd to me. Tick comes before tock. A new architecture comes before the refinement of that architecture. Seems like the tick should be the new architecture. and the tock should be the refinement.
It should come as no surprise given that Intel also got the order of bytes in a word backwards.
You can be replaced by this computer.

I'll ride the wave where it takes me - Eddie Vedder
I'm probably not like anyone you've ever met before. Some would call me a rebel, but I tend to see myself as an adventurer. Sure, I could bore you with delusions about how awesome I am, but let's face it, every other guy on here is writing the same type of thing and you've probably read a similar "About Me" section 500 times over. I'm a firm believer that actions speak louder than words, so why bother? I always surround myself with optimistic people who are going somewhere in life, and are driven. I'm very open-minded and a risk-taker who is always up for a spontaneous new adventure. I love my niece (look at the pic…isn't she just too cute?), sports, anything outdoors, dogs, cooking and good conversation. I keep very busy and love waking up everyday to experience something new and exciting. I don't have the time or inclination to date everyone under the sun anymore, and I have no problem meeting people. I'm pretty selective because, at this point in my life, I know what I want so I'm just fine if I don't meet anyone on here. But, if you are someone who is really special, I'd love to have you along for the ride. One thing I can promise you is that there will be a healthy dose of fun, laughs and excitement. What I'm not looking for: I'd prefer not to stereotype, but I'm most definitely not looking for the typical "Long Island girl". Not every girl on Long Island falls into this category, and for the ones that don't, you know exactly what I'm getting at here. Things like flakiness, games and drama are most definitely not wanted. Thanks, but no thanks. What I am looking for: Someone special who is curious about the world around her. I tend to gravitate towards those who have a natural "cool" sense of humor, and totally digs sarcasm (the light, airy, funny kind…not the mean kind). You can take a joke, are not easily offended and will dish it right back to me. You can spell (without relying on spell check), and are generally a happy and upbeat person who is close with their family. You enjoy going on new adventures each day, and love to cuddle. You're active and athletic like me, and your eyes are bright and convey the depth of your spirit. You're a sweet and beautiful person inside and out, and actually think you can keep up with me. Up for the challenge? If so, you know where to find me…
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Football, Golf, Hockey, Inline skating, Running, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs, Fish
Middle of the Road
I don't really have any hot spots. I can have fun anywhere... it's all about the company you keep. To name a few - home, the beach, sporting events, pubs with live music.
This kind of goes back to the hot spots thing... I can name a billion favorite things. Plus, why give away all the details here when we can talk about it? But ok, to name a few... family/friends, anything active/outdoors, cooking, movies, etc.
I love to joke around and make people laugh, so I can have fun pretty much anywhere doing just about anything.

Italy's lost decade
- 16 March 2012
Since the beginning of this year there has been a considerable improvement in a measure that was previously widely used to judge the Italian economy. If we look at Italy's ten-year government bond yield it reached a peak of 7.38% in late November 2011 and then another peak of 7.17% in early January but has now fallen substantially to 4.85%. The fall in her three year bond yield has been even more spectacular as it has plummeted from 7.72% to 2.72% and if you were holding these large profits were available in a short space of time. However for the Italian government this represents a considerable improvement as it is now much cheaper for it to issue debt and its financial position is accordingly improved.
Is there a "rub" as Shakespeare put it?
The "rub" is that a false market in Italian (and other countries) debt has been created by the European Central Bank with its two large monetary operations which offered cheap (initially at 1%) three-year liquidity. Some of the over 1 trillion Euros supplied was used in what is called the Sarkozy trade where it was invested in higher yielding government debt. If you look at the high for 3 year Italian debt yields of 7.72% and you can fund it at 1% then one can see why banks would find such a trade attractive. For those who want the full details I discussed it in this article.
So this policy has helped achieve two main objectives. It has courtesy of the largess of the Euro zone taxpayer supported and improved the Italian government bond market and hence her public finances and done so via providing easy profits for Italian (and other) banks. So we have themes which are rather familiar which is that you could argue that this is a bank support operation which happens to have helped Italy! And that we have a can which has been kicked three years into the future.
Italy's Economy
In the past I have established the view that Italy has been a slow growth economy with high levels of public debt. The latest economic growth figures only reinforce that view. From Istat:
"In the fourth quarter of 2011 the seasonally and calendar adjusted, chained volume measure of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) decreased by 0.7 per cent with respect to the third quarter and by 0.4 per cent in comparison with the fourth quarter of 2010."
On a quarter on quarter basis there was a possibly ominous note to this as imports fell by 2.5% and exports were stationary. Falling imports improves GDP all other things being equal so we had a flattering influence whilst there was no sign of what is called "export led growth".
If we look back we see that in the last three quarters of 2011 Italian economic growth went -0.2%,-0.4%,-0.7%. If we look forwards we see most forecasts are now for a decline by 1 to 2% in 2012.
A "lost decade"?
We see that in the period 2002 to 2010 Italy's GDP barely rose moving as it did from 1,218,219 million Euros to 1,221,158 million using the year 2000 as a base. But if we add in that her economy had a fourth quarter in 2011 that was weaker than the same quarter in 2010 and looks as if it will shrink again in 2012 then are you thinking what I am thinking? 2012 could be weaker than 2002 in absolute terms and Italy will have had her own "lost decade" and a European economy will have mimicked at least partially Japan's experience in the 1990s.

TLD's Canadian Rippers Top 2 in Garbo DH Women's Pro
MTB - Whistler, BC
Crankworx Whistler's Garbanzo DH is infamous for being the world's longest DH track used in competition. Canadian World Cup racer Steve Smith has been defeated by the very long and technical track the last four times he has raced it; either crashing or just not going fast enough.
This year Smith finally defeated his nemesis, crossing the finish line with a time of 12:33.27, an impressive feat considering the length of the course is 12km and drops 3,400 vertical feet. Second fastest man was Columbian Marcelo Gutierrez Villega +5.48 and in third, Australian Chris Kovarik +15.40.
Canadian women swept the podium today with Casey Brown in first at 14:28.74, Miranda Miller in second +3.23 and Whistler's Claire Buchar (CAD) +3.26.
"This is the first time I have had a clean run in competition on Garbanzo and I took the win," says Smith. "It is a long race so you don't absolutely 'kill' anything. I just kept a good pace all the way; I wasn't really slow and I wasn't really fast."
This kind of race really tests the World Cup racers since they train to reach the maximum speed they can sustain for the duration of 3-4 minutes. The Garbanzo track has them descending three times as long as that. The most successful riders have to find the fastest pace they can sustain for a long period of time and just hang on. At the end of the day, the conditions couldn't have been more ideal for the race. The track was rolling really quick and the clock showed it with athletes coming in with the fastest times ever recorded in Garbanzo DH competition.
Course Route
The same course as 2011 was used - Riders start behind the Garbanzo lift hut -> Original Sin (including the uphill section) -> exit Original Sin at the step down/step up tree island on the Dave Murray flats -> proceed down Blue Velvet -> traverse and proceed into In Deep -> after rock face turn left towards Container (FatCrobbat would require a right turn at this point) -> from Container into No Joke/ Duffman -> remain on Duffman until merges with Golden Triangle -> continue on World Cup Singletrack -> Ho Chi Min -> Longhorn -> Monkey Hands -> GLC drops to finish.

There are a TON of reasons why Star Tours really shouldn't've taken over the ATIS building. Not all of them are going to lead to the same conclusion.
Speaking of multiple conclusions, don't forget to vote in the multiple-choice poll regarding what deserved the axe (if anything at all) for the home of Star Tours.
