Reigning world champion Pankaj Advani and veteran Geet Sethi will spearhead Indian challenge in a more than 200-strong field of cueists vying for the top honours at the World Snooker Championship commencing in Hyderabad tomorrow.
Dubbed as Olympics of Snooker, the two-week mega event will also see top Indians like Saurav Kothari, Rupesh Shah, Yasin Merchant, Manan Chandra, Devendra Joshi, Brijesh Damani, Kamal Chawla, Shahbaaz Khan and Aditya Mehta in action.
Indian women's challenge will be spearheaded by two-time quarterfinalist Vidya Pillai, Chitra Magimairajan and Anuja Chandra at the sprawling Hyderabad International Convention Centre.
Paul Thomerson (Australia), Deano Kenee (New Zealand), Noppadon Noppadorm (Thailand), Steve Bailley (Scotland), Joe Delaney (Ireland), Andre Vill (Russia), Matk Keving (England), Jaiqui Ip (China), Sherly Smith (Australia), Delphine Morel (France) and Claudia Weber (Australia) were some of the foreigners who have confirmed participation in the event.
"We had started planning for the event one and a half years back and at the bidding in Australia, beat the likes of England, China and Australia to bring it here," Billiards and Snooker Federation of India President Capt PVK Mohan said.
"We have organised a series of world class events every year since 2003, but with the World Snooker Championship in India, we have achieved a milestone. This is going to be one of the biggest snooker tournaments ever held in India," Capt Mohan said.
For the first time, this Championship will be shown on television on each of the 11 days, with Sports broadcaster ESPN-Star Sports showing it live from pre-quarterfinals stage.
It will also be for the first time that women referees will officiate during the event as eight ladies have already sent their confirmation.
According to the IBSF rules, 20 international referees are being invited to officiate at the event.
There will be 20 match tables along with six for practice with each one having an individual scoreboard and will be equipped with the latest technology.
"I'll put my best foot forward and try to regain the title, I won at Jiangmen in China in October 2003," World Professional Billiards champion Pankaj Advani said.
Geet Sethi, runner-up in the masters division last year, is equally confident of a good show and said, "the event would go a long way in showing the world that India can hold competitions of this stature."

Review: BlueTake 400 GII
The Bluetake BT400 GII is a handsfree Bluetooth device (May 28th, 2004)
MacNN Rating:
Product Manufacturer: Bluetake
Price: $80
The Good
- Works as advertised, better than anticipated battery life. Decent sound quality from microphone (nearly as good as talking directly into the cell phone) Great for voice dialing. Great range from the handset and almost no static ever.
The Bad
- Discomfort, only right ear for wearing, conspicuous- people ask me what the \'Star Trek\' thing on my head is, since they can\'t see a wire going to a cell phone. This is nice for the alpha geek in me, but not very good for day to day interaction with regular folks.
The Bluetake GII 400 is a handsfree Bluetooth device that hangs on the ear and works with most Bluetooth-enabled cell phones.
Bluetake makes a number of Bluetooth devices, from USB host adapters, USB host adapters with flash memory on board, to Bluetooth wireless print servers and even a Bluetooth cable/dsl router. They have an impressive line-up of products and really are investing in Bluetooth technologies in a way I haven't seen from many other companies who make one or two BT devices, maybe a mouse and keyboard, or only market the handsfree device. Bluetake makes them all.
The Bluetake is relatively easy to use. It has two buttons for adjusting volume up and down and one button that does all the rest, from powering the device on and off to answering, initiating, and ending calls. This do-it-all button is lit with both a red and blue LED to indicate different status modes. It comes with a removable silver cover and several of the covers in different colors so that you can change it as fashion dictates.
Using the Bluetake BT400 GII
To turn it on, hold down the button for about three seconds until it beeps twice with a high pitched beep. Powering off means holding it down for another three seconds until two low-pitched beeps are heard. When the phone rings, you will hear both the phone ring (provided you have not made it silent) and hear the ring in your ear from the Bluetake GII 400. Press the button once to answer the call and speak normally. Press the button again to end the call.
Voice Dialing
If you have set up voice dialing on your cell phone, simply press the button on the Bluetake once, wait for the prompt beep from the cellphone heard through the GII 400, say the name of the person to call, and which number to call, work / home / mobile, and let it proceed to dial. I love using this feature. I would never voice dial from the phone itself, but with the Bluetake I find myself doing it all the time.
Battery Life
I wear the Bluetake for hours during the day. I keep it powered on at least four hours a day. It seems to last about a week on one charge and starts beeping to let the user know that battery life is low. I was surprised when I first heard it because I thought I would have run out of battery long before I did.
Comfort of Wearing the Device
The Bluetake BT400GII weighs about 25 grams. It clips on the ear in much the same way the earphones Continental provides for viewing movies on international flights do. The hook is hinged on the earphone and you open it perpendicular to the earphone, place the hook on the ear and then fold the earphone close to the head, so that the ear is sandwiched between the hook and earphone. This works well for a lot of people, but it limits the device to being worn only on the right ear.
I'm over-sensitive to things worn on my ears and my head. I find that after about a half hour of wear that I get headaches from wear. This is not unique to the BT400GII but other headphones and sunglasses also give me this experience. If you too find wearing sunglasses uncomfortable over the ear or nose bridge after a half hour then know that this product may cause you similar discomfort. I wear it for hours during the day, not consecutively, even though I would like to.
Using with the Macintosh
On a Bluetooth-enabled Mac, there's no real way to directly connect the BT400GII to the Mac. The BT400GII only has a handsfree profile, not a headset profile. What this means is, if you wish to place a call from the computer, you must have the Bluetooth-enabled cell phone on, associated with the computer, and have the BT400GII on and associated with the cell phone. From Address Book in 10.3, select the person to call. Control-click or right-click on the phone number of type of number and select Dial with (substitute name of your Bluetooth-enabled phone here). The phone will proceed to dial and you'll speak through the BT400GII.
For Windows users Bluetake includes a software program that performs much the same task as what the Macintosh is already able to do with Address Book. You may find this useful to know if you are new to Macintosh and still find yourself using a Windows machine occasionally.
Voice-dialing is a wonderful thing. With the GII, the tone that prompts me to speak the name of the contact to dial is loud and clear. There is hardly ever any static through the ear piece and the range from handset to GII is a true thirty feet. Bluetake cautions the user to wear the phone on the same side of the body as the headset but I have not noticed any interference when ignoring this instruction.
Bluetake informs me that a future version of the GII device will have a headset profile as well.

2015 Facebook Newsfeed Update
If you have a Facebook Page for your brand, you should pay close attention to the following as Facebook has just announced a News Feed update. Organic distribution of posts that are promotional in nature will be reduced.
Starting in Q1 of 2015, promotional posts made by brands will see a significant decrease in organic reach. To put this bluntly, if you use Facebook to promote your brand using promotional language, your content will be less likely to show up in peoples' News Feeds.
If you closely follow Facebook as a business, this should not come as a surprise, given their big algorithm change earlier this year. If you don't follow it closely, don't fret, we've got you covered.
Let's break it down:
- Promotional pieces of content contain strong calls to action that directly drive the reader to download, purchase or click. For example: buy now, 20% off, visit our site, like our page, click here and download now … you get the point.
- Facebook is doing this for a few reasons:
- To create the best user experience possible by showing you the most relevant content your community wants to see in their News Feed.
- To reward brands who create valuable content for the community.
- To aid Pages with the increase in News Feed competition. According to a recent public Q&A with Zuckerburg, as the number of Pages on Facebook continues to increase, the amount of content available for the News Feed also increases, thus creating more competition for your Page to be seen by your fans.
- This does not necessarily mean you have to use paid tactics to reach your audience – you simply have to leave promotional content for other channels, OR create more engaging content that resonates with your audience while also keeping your brand's objectives in mind.
If you have a Facebook Page, here is how to stay in front of your community.
- Do a deep dive on the types of content your audience prefers – this will guide your new content strategy.
- Post content your audience wants to see, not solely what your brand wants its audience to see.
- Engage more with people who engage with your content – this will boost overall organic reach.
- Your audience wants to see and engage with entertaining content, so explore clever ways to weave in promotional messaging.
- Meet with your social team or agency soon to discuss your content strategy for 2015.
While this change may affect some brand Pages more than others, you should take the overall message to heart – content should be developed for the brand's audience, not just for the brand.
Introducing Facebook Rooms
Facebook is bringing back message boards. Well, kind of. Today, Facebook introduced a new app called Rooms, from Facebook Creative Labs. Rooms lets you create places for the things you're interested in and invite others to join you.
Check out Rooms, a new app that lets you create a place for whatever you're into. To @tryrooms, download it at: https://t.co/XcY13cxcde
— Facebook (@facebook) October 23, 2014
Here's how they explained it:
A room is a feed of photos, videos, and text – not too different from the one you have on Instagram or Facebook – with a topic determined by whoever created the room. Early users have already created rooms for everything from beat boxing videos to parkour to photos of home- cooked meals. There's even a room called "Kicks From Above" that showcases photographs of cool shoes in cool places.
Curious about Rooms? Read more about the app and our team at http://t.co/vgMkT60X6J.
— Rooms (@tryrooms) October 23, 2014
In rooms you can:
- Change the text and emoji on your like button
- Customize member permissions
- Set whether or not people can link to your content on the web
- Be known by whatever name you want
Rooms already has Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts. It is available today for iOS users in the U.S., U.K., and some additional English-speaking countries.
How Larger Phone Screens are Changing Media Consumption
Is the iPhone 6 going to change the way consumers relate to media? Always an industry leader, Apple is on the cusp once again, with "phablet" phones, measuring much larger than what we've come to regard as standard. Are consumers on board? It seems they are, and content providers are jumping on the bandwagon as well.
If you think about it, these phones are just encouraging the trend we've already noticed across all sorts of media. Everything seems to start smaller with all text, but then the visuals become larger and more prominently featured, and there's less text involved. It's not surprising that Apple, largely regarded as the authority in mobile technology, would market phones geared toward this image intensive trend. Apple's not the only one doing it, of course, as phones across the market have been steadily increasing in size.
As indicated by immediate sales, consumers like these new larger sizes. What's not to like? You can watch Netflix on the bus, play games in the waiting room, and basically take your media with you wherever you go, on a device you'd have with you anyway. It's all led to a huge jump in mobile use and video traffic – 532% year over year increase between 2012 and 2014 – and it isn't just an American phenomenon, either. Take a look at how consumers across the globe are using their phones to feed their media addictions:
Source: Digiday.com
These numbers are only going to get bigger, and content providers are all over it. Of course, it's a bit of a chicken-or-the-egg scenario: users want mobile content, phones become bigger to accommodate all this content, and the content becomes more readily available to keep up with the demand generated by the bigger phones. Still, it's a savvy company that recognizes the potential. Netflix, for example, announced last week that it plans to chop videos into shorter clips for the sake of mobile users. Short-form video is all the rage among mobile viewers, and video makers across the board are embracing the trend, as everyone from Sports Illustrated to AOL churns out their own video snacks.
What does it mean for the average social media marketer? While there's not really a need for immediate change, it's good to note that marketing trends are blowing in the direction of larger visual delivery, with less text and more images and video. Does that resonate with you? How will this shift impact your marketing strategies in the future?

Hey, is that lizard smoking?!
by Eric
posted Mar 22 2011 10:11AM
Paramount's new animated feature, Rango, has a lot of people up in arms. It seems some of the characters in the PG-rated movie are shown smoking cigarettes and cigars
. In fact, according to Yahoo, there are more than 60 instances of smoking throughout the film.
A Paramount spokesperson says that the movie does not glamorize smoking in any way: "The images of smoking in the film, which primarily involves the animals, are portrayed by supporting characters and are not intended to be celebrated or emulated." The main character, Rango -- voiced by Johnny Depp -- is never shown smoking.
But that might not be enough to appease parents and anti-smoking groups like Breathe California.
So I have to ask ... Would you take your child to see a movie with smoking in it? Did you watch a lot of movies with smoking as a kid? Did it affect how you look at smoking?

I am curious about the name Haselback Potatoes-what is this from?
09/12/2007 - 13:49
This Swedish dish takes its name from Hasselbacken, the Stockholm restaurant where it was first served. I don't think this was the photo she wanted to use here? :) Nikko

Waukesha County and a committee of members from county municipalities are set to begin looking over proposals from recycling vendors to serve the area beginning in 2015.
Initial discussions will begin Thursday, June 5, and interviews with potential suitors are set for Tuesday, June 10.
"We have just received the proposals but have not reviewed them yet," said City of Brookfield Director of Public Works Tom Grisa. "The county is going to recommend, based on this proposal process, which vendor provides the level of service that it thinks municipalities are seeking."
At the time that Waukesha County officials make a recommendation, independent municipalities, such as Brookfield, will have a choice to make.
"Ultimately, it will be up to each municipality to decide which vendor and level of service to pick," Grisa said.
Grisa noted that an important choice the city will have to make will be whether or not to continue a level of service that allows residents to have their recycling picked up from their driveways. However, there is the potential for the city to switch to curbside pick-up.
"Presumably (curbside pick-up) is cheaper, but we haven't seen the numbers yet," Grisa said.
Regardless of specifics into the aforementioned choice, Grisa is tentatively hopeful the changes will result in savings for all property owners in Brookfield.
"We sure hope it decreases, but we don't know for sure," he said. "I would expect it to be less, but there are so many factors that play into this, fuel being one of the major ones."
Grisa hopes Brookfield can band together with other neighboring communities, such as Elm Grove and New Berlin, to garner even more savings.
"We're hoping to get municipalities together," he said. "It doesn't make sense that some of these municipalities can't group together and make things more efficient."
A primary change likely to take place when new vendors come on board in 2015 is a switch from dual-stream recycling to single-stream. Waukesha County currently sorts paper separately from other recyclables, but officials have expressed hopes that the acceptance of unsorted materials will result in residents finding it easier and therefore being more willing to recycle.
While officials hope new programs can be online at the beginning of 2015, Grisa noted the process may take slightly longer.
"It might be delayed until March," he said. "It depends on a lot of things. It will take time if a municipality switches away from the blue bins and goes to carts of cans. It takes time to distribute those. It might take a couple of weeks or a month to roll out everything."

breaker tripping on AC. Why??
Our ~15 yr old compressor unit for no apparent reason, tripped the breaker a month ago. Last night, it did it again. In the 8 years we have been here, this is the first times it has done so.
Is this a warning of something degrading in the compressor? Or could it be a degrading breaker instead? I was wondering if anyone had noticed a similar pattern and what it meant. I realize the AC unit may well be near the end of its run but wouldn't want to replace it until I was sure. At which time I probably would swap out the original furnace (20 yr) as well for a high efficiency unit all around.
I would start by replacing the breaker first.... making sure it is of the correct size. There is a data tag on the side of your outdoor unit that states the minimum and maximum amperage rating and you can make your selection off that. Also make sure the wire from that breaker to the unit is sized correctly. If the unit still trips the breaker after replacing it, then you might be having an issue with the unit itself... a skinned wire... something grounding out... in which case i would seek help from a qualified a/c tech.
Hope this helps
Does your area experience brown outs or instances where the power momentarily goes out or during electrical storms? That will surely do it. I'd start as fluffy recommended since you don't know how many times that breaker has tripped before you got there.

U. S. auto bailout tip of iceberg, analysts warn
Posted By admin On November 26, 2008 @ 9:57 am In Money Watch | Comments Disabled
Wednesday, November 26, 2008
The tens of billions of U. S. taxpayer dollars being asked for by Detroit could be the tip of the iceberg, analysts at JPMorgan said yesterday.
With Congress preparing to hand struggling automakers General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC US$25-billion in loans, JPMorgan analysts said any emergency cash would just be a lifeline until Barack Obama's administration takes over in January.
Mr. Obama's economic team would be put to work quickly, tasked with crafting a second, more comprehensive bailout package involving concessions from creditors and labour in what would amount to a sweeping restructuring of the Big Three.
Structural costs would be a primary target under any Washington-brokered overhaul, JPMorgan said, with concession from creditors and the United Auto Workers "inevitable."
The so-called "shared sacrifice scenario" would take months to negotiate, analysts said, likely equating to further injections of operating capital for Detroit. What all of this means for Canada, which has already shed more than 10,700 auto-manufacturing jobs this year, is uncertain.

"I ordered these invitations for my daughters baby shower. She wanted to start a library for the baby and it was already on invitation. I received a lot of compliments on the invitations. Sweet and simple."
"I loved the background design on this card. I order a sample of this along with two others. The only thing that I personally didn't like about this invitation was how big the word "Baby" was at the top. Other than that its super cute! True to color and size."
"In a word, beautiful. The card was perfectly sturdy, but still had a bit of a gleam to it. The picture that I had chosen for the other side was in perfect resolution."
"This particular card looks AMAZING with the pearl white shimmer paper- not too shimmery, and easy to read still- but gives it that little "extra.""
"I chose the card for my upcoming shower and my hostess ordered them. I had already seen the free sample so I expected to like the card. I received the invites three days after her order, which was impressively quick. The card exceeded my expectations!!!!! We chose to go with the square card versus the one shown, because that aesthetic just worked better for us, and we added more lines than the stock card comes with so seeing how our personalization came together made me so happy!!!! Even my fiancé, who's a man's man, was very impressed. Even the "glitter" (which we knew wasn't real glitter) looked just beautiful and elegant. We are definitely looking forward to ordering the matching wish cards and and thank you notes :)"

Small-signal modeling for microwave FET linear circuits based on a genetic algorithmPublication Year: 1996 , Page(s): 839 - 847
Cited by: Papers (11) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (932 KB)
In this paper we present a new method to efficiently optimize small-signal equivalent circuits for microwave and millimeter-wave FET linear circuit design. The method couples the stochastic search of a Partially Elitistic Genetic Algorithm with a local search procedure. Up to 19 equivalent circuit elements have been included in the small-signal model for completeness and flexibility. Optimization examples are given for an ion-implanted MESFET up to 12 GHz, a pseudomorphic HEMT up to 50 GHz, and for synthetic data. The results show that the proposed algorithm is able to consistently provide an excellent fit between measured and calculated S-parameters without any need of a careful initial guess for the circuit element values. Also, once the device parasitics have been de-embedded, the algorithm is able to extract unique, physically meaningful values for the intrinsic device parameters, and it is numerically shown not to be affected by measurement uncertainties View full abstract»

Model conversion of continuous-time uncertain systems via the interval geometric-series methodPublication Year: 1996 , Page(s): 851 - 854
Cited by: Papers (12)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (360 KB)
This brief presents an interval geometric-series approximation method to convert a continuous-time uncertain system to an equivalent discrete-time uncertain model. The system matrices characterizing the state-space representation of the original uncertain systems are assumed to be interval matrices. The exponential matrix-valued function with an interval system matrix is approximated by a rational interval matrix-valued function using the geometric-series approximation method. Then, the desired enclosing interval approximant is obtained by adding an error interval matrix, which accounts for the approximation error, to the rational interval approximant. The model thus constructed is guaranteed to enclose the precise original interval model. The proposed enclosing digital interval model provides less conservative results than the existing Pade enclosing digital interval model. The newly developed digital interval model can be utilized for analysis and design of continuous-time uncertain systems View full abstract»
Predicting chaos through an harmonic balance technique: an application to the time-delayed Chua's circuitPublication Year: 1996 , Page(s): 872 - 874
Cited by: Papers (6)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (272 KB)
The time-delayed Chua's circuit (TDCC) can be considered as a paradigm for studying chaos in circuits described by difference-differential equations. The dynamics of such circuits cannot be investigated by means of the standard time-domain techniques developed for finite dimensional systems. We show that through a spectral approach the occurrence of periodic limit cycles and of chaotic attractors can be easily predicted, without performing any simulations View full abstract»
Output control of the line type pulse modulator by a duration of "on" state of an additional switch tubePublication Year: 1996 , Page(s): 858 - 862| | Quick Abstract | PDF (384 KB)
A technique is presented that enables rapid control of the output peak voltage of the line-type pulse modulator by changing the pulsewidth of the gate voltage applied to an additional switch tube in parallel with the thyratron. The current and voltage characteristics of the pulse modulator with an additional switch tube are analyzed to establish design rules. It is shown by a numerical example that output pulse voltages of a modulator with 5 kV DC source can be changed from 5 kV to 15 kV during 1 ms by changing the gate pulsewidth from 0 to 0.693 ms. This technique can be applied to the amplitude modulation or the rapid regulation of output pulses of radars and similar equipment View full abstract»

Application of simplified line searches in the design of adaptive envelope-constrained filtersPublication Year: 1996 , Page(s): 854 - 857
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (408 KB)
Envelope-constrained (EC) filtering is to design a finite impulse response filter such that the output of the filter is guaranteed to lie within a prescribed output pulse mask with respect to a given input pulse. The standard unconstrained least mean squares (LMS) or recursive least squares (RLS) algorithms are not applicable to this kind of adaptive filtering problem coupled with inequality constraints. New types of recursive algorithms were proposed recently for designing an adaptive EC filter, and the corresponding convergence properties were established. In this paper, it is shown that faster convergence can be achieved by incorporating a simplified line search into the developed recursive algorithms. The modified recursive algorithms are very efficient, and very simple to implement View full abstract»
Multiparameter homotopy methods for finding DC operating points of nonlinear circuitsPublication Year: 1996 , Page(s): 824 - 838
Cited by: Papers (27) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1596 KB)
This paper introduces multiparameter homotopy methods for finding dc operating points. The question of whether adding extra real or complex parameters to a single-parameter homotopy function can lead to improved solution paths is investigated. It is shown that no number of added real parameters can lead to local fold avoidance, but that generic folds may be efficiently avoided by complexifying the homotopy parameter and tracing a closed curve in complex parameter space around the critical fold value. A combination of real 2-parameter homotopy and complex parameter homotopy is shown to be sufficient for avoiding real fork bifurcations and enumerating all real, locally connected branches. Additionally, the potential of complex parameter homotopy methods for finding all circuit solutions is explored. Results from algebraic geometry indicate that if an analytic homotopy function with a single complex parameter is irreducible, then there exist regular paths through the complex parameter plane connecting any solution of H(x,λ')=0 to any other solution of H(x,λ')=0. Thus, in principle at least, complex parameter homotopy can be used to find all circuit solutions View full abstract»

AL making history hard to believe
Players can't even remember last time NL won an All-Star Game
Originally Published: July 15, 2009By Jayson Stark | ESPN.com
ST. LOUIS -- They're making history. They just can't remember history.
Yeah, not to suggest it's been a while since the American League lost an All-Star Game or anything, but after the AL had ripped yet another All-Star triumph off its relentless July assembly line Tuesday night, we couldn't find a single member of this year's AL All-Stars who could correctly answer the following straightforward trivia question:
Do you even remember the last time the National League won an All-Star ...

I'm a US undergraduate student studying biology. I fluently speak English and German. I am learning Japanese and Korean.
I love to read, write, cook, design clothing, and listen to music from around the world (with Korean Pop (K-Pop) being one of my favorite genres at the moment). I have an avid interest in other cultures, history, and the sciences. I also like to try cooking dishes from other countries. So far I've mastered several tasty bento recipies and am practicing making some Korean and Chinese dishes as well. I also can cook many American, Italian, and German foods. ^_^
I've been traveling since i was a baby, as I'm half German and my mother's family resides in Bavaria. I usually travel light and well-packed. I still have trouble sleeping on planes though and often sleep until morning whenever I land, regardless of the time I arrive. Which means I don't have much jet lag. Yay! I'm also a very independent traveler, so I am very aware of what is going on around me and try my best to plan everything ahead of time.
Whenever I'm in another country, I like to see historical sites a lot and learn the stories about them. On the other side, I also like to see some of the night-life with friends. I'm very level-headed when it comes to drinking or to dangerous situations though.
I always try my best to be respectful and to watch my actions around others. I can often be very shy but I can also be very social around people once I get to know them.
My previous travels include going to Germany and Greece. This summer I will be going to S. Korea for a summer study abroad program. I can't wait to experience a taste of life in Korea. And maybe 뚝볶이 ? ^.^

UXBRIDGE -- Eduardo Giacca continues to have a profound impact on his family years after his death.
The patriarch of the Giacca family died at the age of 62 from liver cancer, and while three of his grandsons never had the chance to meet him, that hasn't stopped them from honouring his memory and doing their part to try to help find a cure for cancer.
Since 2008, Adrian Giacca, who at 22 is the eldest of three grandsons, has participated in the Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, alongside his father Edward. In more recent years, his brothers Daniel and Nicholas have joined in.
In doing so, the quartet has combined to raise awareness for cancer research, fundraised some $50,000 for the cause and kept the eldest Giacca's memory very much alive.
This year the family is holding a fundraising bowling event in Uxbridge to raise money for the ride.
"I never got to meet him but I hear from my family members all the time how much I take after him," says Adrian of his grandfather. "He was such a great man and the idea for joining this ride is to conquer cancer in my lifetime so that I can be there for grandchildren and avoid the tragic loss that so many families go through.
"Each and every one of us is somehow touched by cancer ... but through a collaborative effort in raising money we can made a difference."
While Adrian looks forward to the ride each year, he's quick to admit the 200-kilometre trek between Toronto and Niagara is not a typical ride on a bike -- especially when it comes to a four-kilometre uphill segment in the Hamilton area.
"It's extremely painful," he said.
"The most inspiring thing about the entire ride is that even though you're in so much pain and you're hurting so much, when you see someone else pass you with a yellow flag on the back of their bike, which means they've conquered cancer, it shows you that there's a pain tolerance that you can withhold and be a lot stronger and better for these people," he says.
This year's ride takes place June 7 and 8 and the Giacca family will be there, front and centre, sticking together.
"It's an incredible experience," Adrian says. "We don't ever really delineate ourselves from each other. We stick together the whole time, no matter our different skill levels or sets, age groups or times. We stick together ... We do this as a family."
In years past the Giaccas have received plenty of help from community members when it comes time to raise money for the ride.
This year, they've opted for a different approach. In an effort to raise funds the Giaccas are holding a charity bowling tournament at Parish Lanes in Uxbridge on May 24.
They are looking for 48 teams with five bowlers per team. Entry fee is set at $125 per team and a tax receipt will be issued by The Ride to Conquer Cancer.
Two separate tournaments will take place, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The grand prize for each winner is a seven-night stay at the Giacca family timeshare in the PGA Village in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
"We wanted to do something that was community oriented and something that was enjoyable for everybody," Adrian said. "I've been going to that bowling alley since I was seven years old and it's been a big part of my life and the lives of many in the community."
• The Ride to Conquer Cancer is a two-day, 200-kilometre ride between Toronto and Niagara Falls benefiting the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
• Two out of five Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every day more than 500 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer and more than 200 will die from the disease.
• The money raised provides funds for personalized cancer medicine, including research, treatment advances and survivorship programs.
• Riders will be supported by hundreds of volunteers and crew members who will be providing meals, water and snacks, gear transport, portable restrooms, course safety, medical services and overnight camping with tents, showers and entertainment.
• 2014 marks the seventh annual ride in Ontario, the largest cycling event in Canada. In total Ontario riders have raised nearly $100 million for cancer research.

Author information
Sarah WIlson has written and illustrated numerous books for children and adults. The idea for LOVE AND KISSES came, she says, when she spied a cat and dog with their noses touching. Melissa Sweet has illustrated more than forty books for children. She often uses collage in her personal work and says, "I find it is definitely spilling over into the illustrations I create. I especially liked working with collage for LOVE AND KISSES because the variety of papers helped to convey all the different kinds of kisses."

LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner says that the company is more than just a job networking site: It's a huge business publisher that's set to dominate news media on the Web.
"This is very much an ecosystem that's oriented around our members," Weiner said at Business insider's IGNITION conference. And that ecosystem involves a growing publishing platform that both generates original content via LinkedIn influencers and aggregates the biggest business news around the Web .
The platform is already spread across 1 million sites, he said: "There's over one million unique domain buttons on the Internet with LinkedIn share buttons," Weiner said.
These shared stories—whether they originated on the New York Times or, yes, Business Insider—then get posted on individuals' LinkedIn accounts for people they're connected with to see. If certain articles get enough heat, then it can make it to LinkedIn Today and get seen by some of the company's 187 million users.
The publications that created the shared stories then get boatloads of traffic back to their sites.
LinkedIn Today executive editor Dan Roth explained in a previous interview that "The stories that have a tiny little bit of fire, we pour gasoline on them ... When people start sharing your stories or commenting on stories, our algorithm starts noticing it."

Mafia takedowns win Italian chief FBI honors
By LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON- The FBI gave one of its highest honors Friday to Italy's national police chief for working a quarter-century with the U.S. to bring down an estimated 1,000 Mafia and other organized crime leaders in both countries.
De Gennaro, chief of the Italian National Police, said he worked so closely with the FBI and federal prosecutors that "sometimes I even woke up wondering if i was in Rome or in New York," he told an auditorium packed with current and former top FBI and Justice Department officials.
He said such international cooperation was valuable to help law enforcement face down threats "whether it appeared as a mobster or as a terrorist."
Former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who as a federal prosecutor in New York worked closely with De Gennaro on a number of Mafia cases in the 1980s, said that the U.S-Italy investigative bond "has really changed the face of organized crime.
"It has allowed the law enforcement infrastructure in both counties to really dismantle the command and control of the Mafia," Freeh said.
