The Pharaons Rally, the final round of the 2012 World Cross Country Rally Championship saw two leading KTM riders, Jakub "Kuba" Przgonski of Poland and Spain's Jordi Villadoms finished second and third behind Joan Barreda of Spain after a tough 2500 km encounter with Egypt's shifting desert sands.
The final round got underway without the KTM factory riders. Marc Coma of Spain already took the title in the previous round in Sardinia and he and teammate Cyril Despres, together with other leading KTM riders are to contest the Morocco Rally as they fine tune their training ahead of the Rally on October 14-20.
Barreda was the outstanding rider of the competition but Jakub Przgonski was always in touch with the leaders and rode consistently throughout the six-day event. The Polish rider secured his second consecutive FIM Cross Country Rallies World Championship third place finish after the strong showing at the Pharaons Rally. It was a race of ups and downs for Przgonski's Orlen Team. Kuba's teammate Jacek Czachor finished sixth overall but won the open category but their teammate Marek Dabrowski had to retire with two broken wrists.
Jordi Viladoms was also consistent although riding injured and his second place in Egypt also gave him second behind Coma in the 2012 World Championship rankings. With Viladoms in second and Przgonski in third, KTM took all three places in the 2012 World Championship, also registering another triumph for the Dakar Rally winning KTM 450 Rally bike.

That's the startling finding from a report in today's New York Times on the correlation between income and life expectancy. As the Times' Annie Lowrey writes, the life expectancy for men in Fairfax County, Virginia, (median income: $107,000) is about 82 years. A few hundred miles away in McDowell County, West Virginia, (median income: under $30,000) the life expectancy for men is 64.
That finding may seem rather intuitive, but the extent of the gap between the haves and have nots is nonetheless shocking. And the Times report also notes that the life expectancy divide has only grown sharper in the past few decades at a time of rising income inequality in the nation as a whole. As we've written before, the wealthiest Americans weathered the economic recession far better than did the rest of the nation, further expanding the income gap.
Head over to the Times, which also has some illuminating visualizations on income and life expectancy, and give the entire story a read. Jon Terbush
Famed Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner on Friday came out as transgender in an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer, saying he is transitioning from male to female.
"For all intents and purposes, I'm a woman," Jenner said.
"Bruce lives a lie," the 65-year-old Jenner added. "She is not a lie. I can't do it anymore."
Jenner said his struggles with gender identity began as a child when he would try on his mother's clothing, and it continued in private for decades even as he became a masculine icon while winning gold in the decathlon at the 1976 Olympics. In recent months, tabloid rumors abounded surrounding Jenner's then-alleged transition. Jon Terbush
A powerful earthquake on Saturday struck Nepal near the capital Kathmandu, killing hundreds of people and leaving extensive damage across the area. Rescuers are picking through the rubble, and the death toll, which rapidly rose to around 700 in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, is expected to rise further.The U.S. Geological Survey estimated the initial quake's magnitude at 7.8, with at least 15 aftershocks measuring 4.5 or above.

If there's one person who's glad the Senate gridlock over Loretta Lynch's attorney general nomination is over, it's the man she's set to replace.
The Senate finally voted to confirm Loretta Lynch as attorney general yesterday, five months after President Obama named her his nominee. Eric Holder, the outgoing attorney general, had announced he would stay at the Justice Department until a successor was named when he resigned in September — but he probably didn't anticipate another half-year in Washington. As months passed and Holder's term dragged on, some of his staff started circulating black rubber wristbands with the message "Free Eric Holder" as a protest of Lynch's protracted nomination.
Now, seven months after announcing his resignation, Holder finally made his goodbye speech Friday. In it, he proclaimed: "I think we can officially say now that Eric Holder is free." He then reportedly took the "Free Eric Holder" wristbands off his wrist and threw them into the audience.
Consider Eric Holder's mic dropped. Kimberly Alters
Robert Downey Jr. walked out of an interview with London's Channel 4 News earlier this week, and the rest of his Avengers: Age of Ultron press tour hasn't fared much better.
In an interview with The Guardian on Thursday, Downey was asked about a 2014 statement by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, who said that superhero films were a form of "cultural genocide" for promoting a right-wing agenda.
Downey's response? "Look, I respect the hell out of him, and I think for a man whose native tongue is Spanish to be able to put together a phrase like 'cultural genocide' just speaks to how bright he is," he told The Guardian.
Cosmopolitan for Latinas has deemed Downey's remarks "racist," and E! Online adds that the comment suggests "that native Spanish speakers couldn't be as smart as native English speakers." Downey isn't the only one struggling on this press junket, though: His co-stars Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner called Scarlett Johansson's Avengers character, Black Widow, a "slut" and a "whore" in an interview this week, for which they have since apologized.

It turns out the real threat to America's children is that they don't have enough deep-fried food.
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller (R) wrote a letter to the editor of The Houston Chronicle on Thursday, calling for a 10-year ban on deep-fat fryers and soda machines in Texas public schools to be overturned. Miller wrote that the fight is "not about French fries, it's about freedom."
In response to arguments about childhood obesity and health, Miller stated that school districts, not the state, should have the freedom to make these decisions. "I will always support decision-making at the local level," Miller wrote.
Miller officially proposed reinstating deep fryers in public schools in March, and The Texas Tribune reports that he is expected to announce this summer whether the Texas Department of Agriculture will repeal the ban. Meghan DeMaria
Ohio middle-school officials erased the word "feminist" from an eighth-grader's T-shirt in a class photo to "prevent any unintended controversies."

Sophie Thomas was shocked to see that her shirt had been photoshopped to erase the word, but the principal explained it might be "offensive" to some people. "I just want to spread equality," Thomas said.
American history teachers will soon have a powerful tool in their arsenal.
Paramount Pictures' Home Media Distribution division announced that it will provide a complimentary copy of Ava DuVernay's Selma to every public and private high school in the U.S. Selma chronicles the march that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led from Selma to Montgomery for equal voting rights.
"By providing DVDs to all of the high schools in the country, we hope to reach all 18 million high school students with the film's powerful and inspiring story," Megan Colligan, a Paramount executive, said in a statement. "With many of these students preparing to vote for the first time in next year's elections, it is especially fitting that they witness the bravery and fortitude of those who fought to establish the Voting Rights Act of 1965."

Mariners' top prospect Walker returns to face Mets
New York, seeking series win in Seattle, counters with veteran Colon
He's back.
Taijuan Walker, the Mariners' top prospect and No. 5 in MLB.com's Top 100, will rejoin the Seattle rotation for Wednesday's series finale against the Mets.
The hard-throwing 21-year-old, who missed much of the early season with shoulder problems, struggled with his command (five walks in four innings) in his last big league start, a 1-0 loss to the White Sox on July 6.
He was then sent down to Triple-A Tacoma to keep him pitching over the All-Star break and now returns with a shot to stick. He's 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA in two starts with Seattle this year and 2-1 with a 3.60 ERA in five starts over the past two seasons, having made a brief appearance with the Mariners in the final month last season.
Manager Lloyd McClendon said he told Walker, "Here's your opportunity. Go get it."
Both Walker and McClendon are optimistic that the fastball command that has eluded him this season has been restored in recent bullpen work.
"I think he's better. He's worked out some things down there, from a mechanical standpoint, to try to get him straightened out a little," McClendon said. "Hopefully he'll be more efficient in the strike zone this time out. We'll see."
Walker said he compared video of his throwing motion from last year to this year and thinks he found a flaw.
"I think it all comes down to my lower half. I was flying open and my release point was all over the place," he said. "But my fastball command was there in my last bullpen. I could feel the difference. I felt like I was able to explode and finish everything out front instead of side to side."
Walker will face veteran Bartolo Colon, who is 8-8 and whose ERA has swelled to 4.12 ERA with 17 runs allowed in his last 26 innings.
Colon left his last start early with a stomach illness, but he should be healthy Wednesday in what could be an audition for the approaching non-waiver Trade Deadline on July 31.
Mariners: Walker not worrying about trade rumors
Walker's name has been mentioned prominently in trade rumors the past few weeks as the Mariners are in need of offensive help and the youngster is one of their top trade chips, but he says he's trying not to get caught up in that.
"It's kind of hard not to," he said. "Especially when you've got family and friends always calling and asking, 'Hey, where are you going?' You going here? You going here?' It's tough, but you try to block it out as much as possible."
Some of the information is coming from a close source.
"My mom's the worst," he said with a grin. "I have to calm her down. 'Mom, calm down, I can't do anything about it.'"
Mets: Outfield saddled by injuries
The Mets' outfield could get a boost Wednesday, as manager Terry Collins is hopeful both Curtis Granderson (illness) and Chris Young (left calf) will be available to play.
The pair was held out on Tuesday night, with Granderson on fluids and completely unavailable.
"He came in and said, 'I don't think I can go,'" Collins said of Granderson.
Eric Young Jr. started in left field in the 3-1 Mets win, with Juan Lagares in center and Kirk Nieuwenhuis in right. Bobby Abreu was at designated hitter, as originally planned.
Worth noting
• Despite their left-handed-heavy lineup, the Mariners are 22-13 against left-handed starters this year and have won 10 of their last 15 after beating the Mets' Jonathon Niese on Monday. Seattle's 22 wins against southpaws are the most in the Majors, ahead of the Tigers (21), Angels (20) and A's (18).
• Right-hander Jeremy Hefner pitched three innings of one-run ball Tuesday in his third rehab start for the Rookie-level Gulf Coast Mets. Hefner underwent Tommy John surgery in August, and hopes to pitch for the Mets this September.

With Better Camera and Hardware, Galaxy S IV Looks to Put iPhone on the Ropes

Apple may be in trouble as Samsung's flagship smartphones storms into the U.S. market
March 14 -- mark tomorrow night on your calendars. That's when Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
), the world's largest smartphone maker, will
unleash its flagship smartphone
: the Galaxy S IV.
I. Galaxy S IV is Samsung's First Launch Held in America
Over the last two years Samsung has built a healthy lead in unit sales over archrival Apple, Inc.'s (
) iPhone. And it's
used attack ads
-- borrowing
a page from Apple's own playbook
-- to slowly chip away at Apple's "cool factor".
Apple, for its part, has suffered from a less aggressive path of hardware development. While analyst still praise its App Store and developer ecosystem as the best in the industry, Apple's GUI as of iOS 6 looked
increasingly long in the tooth
, and the jump to a larger screen size was derided by Android fans
as a "me too" move
And yet Apple's supporters have plenty to crow about. The company still has the strongest brand -- even if it has weakened somewhat amid the Samsung storm. And Apple is
more profitable
than any other phonemaker, making approximately twice the profit that
Samsung makes
per quarter.
But analysts believe that for all Apple's success, it may be in trouble when Samsung launches the Galaxy S IV.
The latest Galaxy phone is set to be unveiled at the Radio City Music Hall. Capturing the carnival-esque vibe
Apple once held
during the
iPhone launches of the Steve Jobs era
, Samsung's blockbuster launch will be broadcast live in Times Square. A simultaneous launch event will be held in London, the largest city in the European Union.

The New York City event will be held just blocks away from one of Apple's busiest stores -- a gesture that has certainly not gone unnoticed. Chung Chang Won, an analyst at South Korea's Nomura Holdings Inc. calls the launch a landmark event for a surging Samsung,
commenting to
, "The upcoming event in New York has big implications because it's Apple's home ground. This is the first time Samsung has launched its Galaxy S phone in the U.S."
Past Galaxy smartphone launches
have typically been held at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain,
at the IFA tradeshow in Berlin, Germany
, or in South Korea.
II. Spec Sheet: an iPhone Slayer
Samsung is anticipated to serve up more than just hollow-hype. It's expected to bring a much faster processor and a larger screen size. Here's what
we know so far
about the device:
5.0-inch 1080p display
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
1.9GHz Qualcomm, Inc. (QCOM) Snapdragon 600 processor (U.S.)
2GHz quad-core Samsung Exynos 5450 processor (international) [
16/32/64GB storage options
Removable SD card slot (up to 64GB)
13MP rear-facing camera w/ "Orb" technology for compressed panorama shots
2MP front-facing camera w/ "eye scrolling" technology
4G LTE support
Multi-purpose / Dedicated camera button
Bluetooth 4.0
3100 mAh battery
Plastic shell body
The U.S. processor (a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon), the 5-inch screen, and the new camera have all been confirmed by top U.S. news outlet
, which is owned by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.
[Image Source: Sammy Hub]
Perhaps the biggest "wow" feature could be the eye-tracking technology, which will use the front-facing camera to track the users eyes allowing them to visually scroll through articles.
First reported
The New York Times
, the hands-free feature has been reportedly in the works for a long time and has been perfected to be very fluid.
's sources dispute that full-fledged eye-tracking will appear in the GSIV, but says that simplified versions of the technology may appear in the device. For example, if you look away from the screen, the phone may automatically pause the video you're watching.
The new spec appear to be well ahead of the iPhone 5 -- which only packs a 8MP rear camera with a (reportedly) smaller sensor, a 4-inch screen, and a slower dual-core CPU.
III. "Cooling Off" Apple May be Forced to Change Strategy
Park Hyun, an analyst at Seoul, South Korea-based Tong Yang Securities says that Apple will be unlikely to be able to muster its response (the iPhone 5S) until late this year. He says that is bad news for Apple, whose once hot phone is seeing slowing sales. He comments, "[The iPhone 5's] popularity has clearly cooled off."
Jan Dawson, chief analyst at the New York City office of London-based telecommunications consulting firm Ovum, says Apple's best hope to stay competitive may be to try to release different versions of the iPhone. She comments, "There's been a drumbeat of rumors about Apple working on more than one version of the iPhone. The thinking is, if Apple does several devices it would help dampen the singular effect of having only one phone a year."
Apple may be forced to launch a variety of iPhones to keep up.
But one must wonder if copycatting Android's approach of a broad range of phones will do more harm than good for Apple. Apple's app ecosystem has benefitted from a homogenous screen size/resolution for each smartphone release; likewise its marketing has always focused on the simplicity of its phone offering -- there has always been only one iPhone.
Ultimately, though Apple may be forced to try to reinvent the wheel, as it sees Samsung stealing its thunder. With over
$100B USD in the bank
, and an incredibly strong brand it's far too early to count the Cupertino, Calif. phonemaker out. But the GSIV launch is certainly serving notice that Samsung has Apple pressed up against the ropes and is hitting it hard, in its home turf.

RE: I heard that the new S4 will have Google's new "flexibly adaptive logic"
This is pretty funny, I get it now, you think I am some guy named Tony. I thought for a moment that "Tony", was like some condescending slang word in your language.
Well, I hate to break it to you, but I'm not Tony.
But, cheesewiz, the good news is, if you want to add an imaginary persona to my posts, that's OK with me. I will do the same for you.
I will think of you as that fake yellowish stuff that comes out of the end of the slightly pressured can that most people put on crackers.

Falling behind nothing new to comeback Cards
Garcia aims to help St. Louis even set; Nats counter with Zimmermann
"I wouldn't say we have the upper hand," Desmond said. "That team's come from behind before. They battled back all last year. I don't think you ever have the upper hand against a team like the Cardinals.
"Obviously, it's nice to win this one, but it's only one game. We have to play the way we have all year. You play as hard as you can all the time so when the pressure comes, you can't turn it up any more than you already have.
"We've been grinding through injuries, one-run games, seven-run come-from-behind games. We've seen it all. So has our manager. Davey [Johnson] has seen it all, and he's prepared us well."
Desmond, who had three hits in his first postseason game, will face Cardinals southpaw Jaime Garcia in Game 2 at Busch Stadium on Monday at 4:30 p.m. ET on TBS. The Nats have right-hander Jordan Zimmermann lined up to confront the Cards, who were held to three hits in the opener but drew enough walks (Gio Gonzalez issued seven) to go 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and leave 10 men stranded.
"The bottom line," Garcia said, "is to just go out there and give it my best shot and try to keep us in the game."
One thing the Cardinals certainly don't want to hear is that the team that takes Game 1 is 30-4 in NLDS play coming into this postseason. More reassuring would be the 18-16 record Game 1 winners have recorded in the American League Division Series.
"We don't have the attitude, 'Oh, man, I hope I don't mess up, our back's against the wall,'" St. Louis closer Jason Motte said. "We just go out and do what we can to win."
Adam Wainwright, who struck out 10 Nationals in Game 1 in his return to postseason play after missing the 2011 ride recovering from Tommy John surgery, was leading cheers when those Redbirds repeatedly rebounded from adversity.
"We came from behind in the postseason last year in two series," Wainwright said. "We were down 4-0 in Game 2 in Philly and beat Cliff Lee. These guys do not hang their heads. We lost a good ballgame, 3-2, and we'll show up [Monday]."
The Cardinals would love to buck those NLDS odds and repeat their 2011 formula. After falling, 11-6, to the Phillies in Game 1 of the NLDS, they rebounded from a four-run deficit after two innings to prevail, 5-4, and go on to take the series. It was more of the same in the NL Championship Series. After the Brewers took Game 1, 9-6, the Cards stormed back to claim a 12-3 Game 2 decision, once again turning the series their way.
The World Series began and ended with Cardinals victories.
The Nats won 98 regular-season games -- 10 more than the Wild Card Cards -- with superior pitching, defense and timely hitting. It's a formula they plan to carry into Game 2.
"Very rarely in the playoffs do you see blowouts," third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. "All the games are going to be tight games. It's a matter of whoever executes.
"We've had a lot of games like [Game 1]. I think it's why we're where we're at. We stay calm. The fact we put ourselves in position to stay in the game is kind of what made this win so special."
Much was made coming into this series of the Cardinals' vast postseason experience in relation to the young Nationals. Washington appeared intent on taking that out of the conversation in the opener, playing with poise and confidence.
"It's baseball," Desmond said. "It's about controlling your heartbeat. It's a big moment. We've got some clutch players here. It doesn't matter if you have 15 years or one year. We're all equal."
The Cards, to keep a heartbeat, understand their challenge and how vital Game 2 is. No team in NLDS history, taking in 21 series, has come back to prevail after losing the first two.
In the AL, four teams in 21 series have rallied to celebrate after falling down two games to none.
Arithmetic is interesting, but every game and every series are distinctly new entities.

I'm able to rapidly identify the independent variables that govern complex problems and to plan a strategy to avoid (or at least to solve) them through the use of the proper tools.
Whenever the current technological offer does not match to my requirements, I can design and develop the missing tools or hack into existing ones.
During the last 5 years, I've gained some experience with Domain Driven design and supporting architecture and I'm building Epic as a "DDD software factory" that aims to make DDD much more cheaper than it is now. I've also contributed to various opensource projects with patches and bugfixes.

But when I think of the bedtime routine of my kids, it's like this Royal Coronation Jubilee Centennial of rinsing and plaque and dental appliances and the stuffed-animal semi-circle of emotional support, and I have to read eight different moron books. You know what my bedtime story was when I was a kid? Darkness. That was my bedtime story."
What's your bedtime routine with your kiddos? I want to hear the steps! Toby's is insane, complete with back rubs, a glass of milk, stories read by Mommy, stories read by Daddy, stories read by himself alone in his room, challenges and questions from Mommy, requests for water...

Your ventilation system ensures the exchange of stale air for fresh air, and your Honeywell ventilation system makes that air exchange efficiently, so you'll enjoy fresh air while continuing to receive the benefits of energy efficiency.
Air introduced into the home through a quality ventilation system helps maintain positive pressure in the home to keep air fresher and cleaner. Ventilation also helps reduce carbon monoxide (CO) levels as well as lingering odors from smoke, food preparation, cleaning products and more.
Your air system works with your heating and cooling system to exchange stale indoor air for outside air at regular intervals, but it will also work independently to ensure that your family is breathing quality air. The independent operation is your assurance that the system is effectively maintaining the exchange of stale air for fresh air. So if your furnace or air conditioner isn't running and your air system comes on, relax — it's all part of normal system operation, even at night, ensuring improved comfort and indoor air quality 24-7.
The climate where you live will determine whether you need a Heat Recovery Ventilator or an Energy Recovery Ventilator. HRV's are usually recommended for colder climates with longer heating seasons. ERV's are used for warmer, more humid climates with long cooling seasons. Please see our helpful reference map to assist in selecting the right unit for you.

Uterine cancer is the most common cancer of the female reproductive system, with more than 49,500 Americans diagnosed with the disease each year. It tends to develop after menopause, when a woman is between the ages of 50 and 60.
Experts from Memorial Sloan Kettering discuss the latest approaches to early detection, screening, and treatment for women with endometrial cancer.
The uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped organ in a woman's pelvis in which a fetus grows after conception. Most cancers begin in the lining of the uterus, which is called the endometrium. Rarer forms develop within the actual muscle of the uterine wall; this is called uterine sarcoma and is managed differently.
There are many different types of uterine cancer. Each type varies in the way it behaves and how it should be managed. For this reason, specialized pathology review is often recommended.
More than 90 percent of women with endometrial cancer experience abnormal vaginal bleeding. In some cases the bleeding may appear as vaginal discharge that is watery, or pink or white instead of red. Women in their late 30s and early 40s may also experience heavy bleeding between periods. For women who have gone through menopause, any vaginal bleeding should be discussed with their doctors; one in ten postmenopausal women with vaginal bleeding are found to have uterine cancer.
Other symptoms of uterine cancer may include:
While these and other symptoms do not necessarily indicate cancer, you should consult your doctor for examination, since early detection of many types of uterine cancer greatly increases the chance of a cure.

Vacuum Cleaner Belts
Did you know that proper maintenance can extend the life of your vacuum cleaner? One of the most basic maintenance items is belt maintenance. It is crucial part in your cleaning system that connects your motor to the brush roll. To check this, you need to remove the bottom plate and place a finger under the best to feel if it is taut. If you find that it's not, and it is showing signs of wear, it is time to replace it. While it is recommended you change vacuum belts once or twice a year, the frequency will actually depend on how often you use your vacuum cleaner. Frequent use makes it prone to cracks, sagging and other forms of damage. The motor is unable to turn a belt that does not have good traction on the brush roll. As a result, your vacuum does not clean up to its potential.
Looking for belts for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we recommend customers reduce the risk for vacuum repairs in the long-term by regularly checking the internal parts including belt, bag and hose regularly. While our advice represents general care and maintenance, we also stock a wide range of vacuum cleaner accessories including belts for a wide range of cleaners and ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs according to your needs!

I can't even believe that 1200 calories would provide enough power for what elite skaters do. I just take it as a journalistic error, until I hear it from "the horse's mouth."

In 2006, her official weight was 43kg. In 2008, it was 46 kg. Now, it is 47 kg.

So, no matter how much calorie she takes everyday (in season), her weight increases continually, which indicates that she has no health problem coming from her diet plan.

Yuna's weight is perfectly normal in any case and she is very strong, because she doesn't seem tired even after her LP. 1200 kcal? Defying the laws of physics? Why not, actually...
But we don't know her diet plan. There is only one article in Google about it available in English.
By the way, you're right.Um ..... 67 kilograms is 147 1/2 pounds. There is no way on this earth Yu-Na weighs that much. I would be surprised if she weighs 100 pounds. Maybe .... just MAYBE she weighs 90.
I just checked her CD book and it says that she weighted 47 kg (that CD came out at the end of the last year).
I wondered if the site is wrong or you
Sorry to interrupt the 'Let's Debate Yu-Na's Weight' show, but this is the predictions thread after all. Here are my picks:
1) Yu-Na Kim
<30+ points, give or take>
2) Rachael Flatt
3) Fumie Suguri
1) Yasuharu Nanri (a Japanese man has won Skate America since 2005, after all)
...ok, I kid.
1) Evan Lysacek
2) Tomas Verner
3) Brandon Mroz
1) Shen/Zhao
2) Zhang/Zhang
3) Volosozhar/Morozov
1) Belbin/Agosto
2. Khokhlova/Novitski
3. Cappellini/Lanotte
1. Evan Lysacek
2. Tomas Verner
3. Brandon Mroz
4. Andrei Lutai
5. Shawn Sawyer
No real thoughts here. Bronze is between four guys (Bradley and the latter three), and I'm predicting Mroz because... why not?
1. Yu Na Kim
2. Rachel Flatt
3. Elene Gedevanishivili
4. Fumie Suguri
5. Julie Sebestyn
I predict that this will be Kim's first competition since the GPF where she doesn't set a record.
1. Shen/Zhao
2. Zhang/Zhang
3. Volosozhar/Morosov
4. Duhamel/Buntin
5. McLaughlin/Brubaker
1. Belbin/Agosto
2. Khoklova/Novitski
3. Capellini/Lanotte
4. Zaretski/Zaretski
5. Gorshkova/Butikov
OK, let me try.
Evan Lysacek
Brandon Mroz
Toman Verner
Rachael Flatt
Yu-Na Kim
Fumie Suguri
Well, first, 47 kg is 103.6 lb. That seem like a reasonable weight for someone her height, maybe a little on the light side but not starvation skinny.
My SA predicts:
1. Evan Lysacek
2. Tomas Verner
3. Ryan Bradley
1. Yuna
2. Flatt
3. Pokyio
1. Shen/Zhao
2. Zhang/Zhang
3. Volosozhar/Morozov
Ice Dancing (guessing totally):
1. Belbin/Agosto
2. Khokhlova/Novitski
3. Chock/Zuerlein
Considering her protocols and programs in TEB, You'd better bet she'll break her records both short program & free skating. But who actually cares? Just let her alone to.........to walk in a park for a while.
I also think Rachel Flatt will prove herself as right person who will go to Cananda next year.
Looking forward to having best performances both Rachel and Yuna.
Yu-Na's diet is more interesting than my predictions.
1. Evan Lysacek
2. Tomas Verner
3. Brandon Mroz
Not sure if Mroz will really get bronze, but I didn't know who else to pick. It's not a great field.
1. Yu-Na Kim
2. Rachael Flatt
3. Fumie Suguri
Again, who will get bronze? Fumie had a weak first outing on the GP, but the rest of the ladies in the field have been skating rather poorly lately, too.
1. Shen/Zhao
2. Zhang/Zhang
3. Volosozhar/Morosov
Pairs has a strong field this week. I hope McLaughlin/Brubaker can skate well to challenge for bronze. They definitely have a chance if they minimize their errors, as the Ukrainians will almost certainly make several mistakes.
1. Belbin/Agosto
2. Khoklova/Novitski
3. Capellini/Lanotte
Dance on the Grand Prix this year has been so predictable.
I'm not familiar with the eating habits of Koreans, so maybe Yu-Na's diet isn't as crazy as we are imagining. But when I see a skater like Caroline Zhang maintain a slender figure while eating anything and everything (including cakes, french toast, pizza, ice cream, etc), I wonder why any skater would torture themselves with such an extreme diet. Isn't it better just to eat healthy and sensibly? I'm not saying eat a bunch of sweets like Caroline seems to do-- that's not good for anyone-- but eating everything in moderation sounds a lot better than extreme dieting. If anything, an extreme diet probably zaps you of the energy and strength you would need for high-level training. And it wrecks your metabolism so that when you do start eating normally, your body can't handle it. When you are training 20-30 hours a week and burning off a ton of calories, an extreme diet doesn't seem necessary. Yu-Na won't even eat meat? That seems way too overboard.
They also went from training 30 hours a week to 0 hours a week and started eating unhealthy-- restaurant meals all the time and whatever food they could grab on the road. It wasn't a healthy lifestyle. If Shawn and Nastia had maintained a healthy, well-balanced diet and a consistent exercise plan after the Olympics, they could have stayed in better shape.I never thought that athletes have such extreme diets. Now it explains a lot - how Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson looked like normal girls in a matter of months after the Olympics.
I could understand wanting to delay puberty, but eventually your body is going to do what it's going to do. Yu-Na is 19 now? She has almost certainly already reached her full adult height and she'll probably always be a rather petite woman. I don't see the point in torturing herself with an extreme diet, and hope this is just a misunderstanding and she actually has a healthy diet.This is also the best way to keep puberty from happening. I don't know how long Kim has been on this diet, but if her former Korean coach is talking about it, I guess not just since last year. It explains a lot.

Wait. I didn't want to get into this discussion about Yuna's restrictive diet, but your post made my jaw drop. I haven't read every single post on this thread but I thought that people are making all these disapproving comments about her diet based on this little information that she has a calorie restrictive diet. Why are some of us jumping into conclusions or making unsupported claims as if we had been waiting for an opportunity to bash her?
I don't know if she eats meat or not, but not eating meat makes someone go overboard...with what? Many people go vegetarian because they want a healthier lifestyle.
Also, who said that she's on diet to delay puberty? Aren't many athletes on diet while maintaining a healthy body? Who is to say that she is torturing herself? Many people watch what they eat. I myself don't drink soda, don't eat snacks, don't eat fatty foods, and I've never felt that I am torturing myself. If I have occasional cravings for something sweet, I treat myself then but I don't crave for that all the time. I guess some people 'have to' believe that all the slim beautiful women are torturing themselves by not eating chocolates and burgers every day.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tom's of Maine. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hey, here's a simple contest - Leave a comment about this blog post describing your most memorable Wicked Fresh moment and you might win a gift card. Read on to find out what it's all about...
Recently, it's been common for companies to market their concern for and effort to protect, preserve, and restore the environment. It seems everyone is 'going green', often in an effort to earn more business without a real commitment to the cause. But, there are a few companies that have had environmental stewardship as part of their corporate ideology from the start.
Tom's of Maine has been around since 1970 and are celebrating 40 years of offering wicked fresh products and supporting the planet at the same time. This isn't just a token support either. They do no animal testing. They use no artificial colors, flavors, fragrance, or preservatives. They use recycled content in packaging. And, quite impressively, they commit 12 days of each employee's workyear to volunteer efforts, as well as give 10% of profits to human and environmental goodness. Show me another company like this one. They even list all their ingredients and what they do on their website.
The corporate philosophy at Tom's of Maine is a key reason why I support them. Another is that I believe they have good products. Their Wicked Fresh! toothpaste works great, and is all-natural and long-lasting. It fights cavities and uses natural oils for flavor. A special, natural extract extends the breath freshening to last hours.
Follow up a brushing with Tom's non-alcoholic Wicked Fresh! mouthwash and you're good to go. I like that there's no alcohol in the mouthwash and the cool mint gives a nice kick. These are still 'smellables' so they go in the bearbag at night, but there's just something that feels right about using all-natural products when out in nature, don't you think?
Even my wife, who's been a staunch Colgate user forever is sold on the Wicked Fresh! toothpaste and mouthwash.
Tom's is using the Wicked Fresh! tagline for a great contest that you should take a minute to enter. It's a fun way for Tom's to give back as they spread the word. Just visit the That's Wicked Fresh contest page and tweet a wicked fresh moment you've had.
For me, my wicked fresh moment this year was standing on the 13,000 foot summit of Cloud Peak in Wyoming with my youngest son on a clear blue, cloudless day. The air was crisp and we could see the entire world from up there!
Go tell Tom's about your wicked fresh moment and you might win a $500 Target gift card or other cool, fresh prizes.
If you Follow @TomsofMaine on Twitter or Like them on Facebook you get additional chances to win in their contest. I've noticed Tom's folks are very active on both Twitter and Facebook, posting and responding to others' posts and tweets.
Now that you know what Wicked Fresh! is all about, leave a comment here describing your wicked fresh moment for a chance to win a $50 gift card.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of SPOT. All opinions are 100% mine.
I've told you a few times about the SPOT Satellite GPS messenger that our troop uses on our backpacking adventures. It's a great little gadget that gives you access to rescue help in an emergency, but more commonly lets folks back home track your progress through the wilds. And, when you get home, you can tie your photos to your trek route for an interactive view.
I've got an old Philmont Trek shown in Google Earth HERE.
And, a week backpacking in Wyoming using the SPOT Adventures website HERE.
If you missed past deals from the folks at SPOT, here's another one that sounds pretty good. When you buy the new SPOT Messenger, you get a $50 bonus adventure kit that includes 15% off Basic Service, a flotation case, LED flashlight, safety whistle, bandana, lanyard, and keychain. Maybe your troop should put one of these in its budget for the coming year and get it for Christmas.
I like that SPOT is one-way communication. It doesn't beep or chirp or ring with incoming messages, but it keeps everyone at home in touch with our location.
If you only use it for a single Philmont trek, the annual service with tracking would just be around an extra $10/person. But, you'll surely use it for many other outings. It costs our scouts about $2.50/year for the troop to have one. We've used it for backpacking, canoeing, and biking. I've even taken it on 10-mile practice hikes so parents could see when we were approaching the pick-up location so they'd be there on time. It's cheap insurance and a good use of technology in the scouting world.

In response to my previous post about recruiting tips, someone asked about specifically recruiting NON-Webelos. Well, here you go. I'd love to hear from anyone that tries them.
There are a lot of 5th and 6th grade boys in your community that were not active in the Cub Scout program. This is a prime time to recruit these boys into your troop, along with Webelos crossing over from Packs.
The best way to recruit these boys is by having scouts talk with them. Consider using these tips to motivate your new scouts to recruit a few more scouts:

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of NAVTEQ. All opinions are 100% mine.
A few years ago, we had an adult driver arrive at our campsite almost an hour after everyone else. He had an onboard navigation system which his family had nicknamed 'Loulou'.
He would just enter their destination and then trustingly follow the directions and instructions it gave him...
"Turn right at the next intersection."
"Turn left."
He loved this system because it saved him lots of effort remembering directions. Unfortunately, on this outing to a remote area, the system knew of a road that used to connect to another road, but now actually led to a deadend. After the system insisted he use that same road twice, he finally gave up and got help at a local gas station - the old-fashion way.
If he had only upgraded his system's map information, he'd probably have been the first at the campsite and in a calm, worry-free mood.
Most in-car navigation systems are driven by technology from NAVTEQ and the updates are easy to get. By visiting NAVTEQ's map update page, you can find the exact update for your vehicle with the latest road and travel information.
How many people would think of this for a Christmas gift?
You can give it to your wife as a gift that keeps the family safe, makes her driving easier, and doesn't need to be returned for the right size.
You know Dad would be happy to have an up-to-date database of gas stations and new roadways so he never needs to ask directions along the way.
I'd love it if all our Scouters had such a system to make our outings a bit more safe and easy.
This is another good use of electronic technology that doesn't reduce the pleasure of the outdoors. I found out the latest revision of the NAVTEQ data includes:
Hey, there's no reason you can't get an update for yourself - just say "Merry Christmas to Me"!

MySQL supports secure (encrypted) connections between MySQL
clients and the server using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
protocol. This section discusses how to use SSL connections. For
information on how to require users to use SSL connections, see
the discussion of the REQUIRE
clause of the
statement in
Section 18.104.22.168, "GRANT Syntax".
Encrypted connections are not used by default. For applications that require the security provided by encrypted connections, the extra computation to encrypt the data is worthwhile.
MySQL enables encryption on a per-connection basis. You can choose an unencrypted connection or a secure encrypted SSL connection according the requirements of individual applications.
Secure connections are based on the OpenSSL API and are available through the MySQL C API. Replication uses the C API, so secure connections can be used between master and slave servers. See Section 17.3.7, "Setting Up Replication Using SSL".
Another way to connect securely is from within an SSH connection to the MySQL server host. For an example, see Section 6.3.10, "Connecting to MySQL Remotely from Windows with SSH".

Looking For Boost, Candidates Hit The Ground In N.H.
With three weeks to go before the New Hampshire primary, presidential campaigns are working at full speed to reach out to voters.
Political strategists say a good ground game — a campaign's ability to identify voters and get them to the polls — is worth 3 points at the ballot box. That's a boost any candidate would want.
Earlier this month, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney kicked off a canvassing drive that his campaign called "Earn It With Mitt" this way: "You guys are going to knock on doors. We're going to make calls. We're going to get the job done and keep America the greatest nation in the history of the Earth!"
The goal that day was to knock on 5,000 doors by sundown. With his small army of volunteers — some local, some imported from Massachusetts — the campaign hit its target with relative ease.
On Wednesday, Romney embarks on another "Earn It With Mitt" production, a three-day bus tour of the state. Along the way, Romney will be joined by many of the local officials who back him.
"We are making a very multi-layered effort to make sure that the voters see and hear our campaign," said Jim Merrill, Romney's top New Hampshire consultant. "And when they go to vote on Jan. 10, we've given them the best opportunity possible to learn about Gov. Romney and choose him as their nominee."
Romney has nine full-time staffers in New Hampshire, and workers from his Boston headquarters visit frequently. For Romney, the only acceptable outcome is a solid victory.
Huntsman's High Stakes
But the candidate who may have the most riding on ground organization in New Hampshire is former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.
"We've done 127 public events in this state. Nobody's working it nearly as hard as we are," Huntsman said Monday night in Manchester.
He's staked it all on New Hampshire, basing his entire campaign in the state. Huntsman hammers home the importance of winning New Hampshire in every campaign speech.
"When New Hampshire speaks, everybody pays attention. That's a big deal," he said.
Gingrich Tries To Rally After Late Start
The guy who has been the big deal recently, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, also returns to New Hampshire on Wednesday. About 1,000 people attended Gingrich's last local stop one week ago.
Since then, his poll numbers nationally and in Iowa have dropped. Gingrich got a late start organizing in New Hampshire, but adviser Bob Smith, the former U.S. senator, said the idea that Gingrich lacks a ground game in the state is no longer valid.
"We were criticized early on for not having it. Well, we didn't open the office until October — late October — but you saw an example with 1,000 people," he said. "I mean, you don't get 1,000 people turned out without some organization. So that's changing now."
Paul's Volunteers Take To The Phones
Texas Rep. Ron Paul spent two days in the state this week, but his phone bank has been going on for months.
During a visit, some of the busy volunteers worked from scripts. But other Paul supporters took the liberty to improvise.
"Ron's plan would allow me to use those pieces of silver as money, and at first it would only be — it would be very few people, a very small piece of the population knows enough about how money works to save themselves and to put their money into gold and silver," one volunteer could be heard saying.
Paul's support is nothing if not motley. And it includes the Yakovs, a family of Israeli immigrants who became citizens just 18 months ago. Merav Yakov said Paul is the only politician she has ever supported and, she added, her family has placed 10,000 calls for Paul. If true, that means each family member has made more than a dozen calls on average every day since August.
"Ron Paul is really a messenger — he's a good messenger, but the message is what's important," she said. "We believe in the message and we are just full-blown behind it. We are not going to miss a day here."
Words every New Hampshire campaign would want to hear — and never more than within weeks of the primary.

Vaccination used to be simple. You bought a couple of vaccines at the feed store and gave them once a year to your horse. Today there are so many vaccination options that if you still administer vaccines yourself without at least talking to your veterinarian, you might be selling yourself, and your horse, short.

Breath so detrimental to your health that no ordinary tooth brush can handle, that the person with this disorder would have to refer to specialist to prevent further injury and in some cases DEATH.
