COLUMBIA — When we needed a basket, the ball magnetized to Maty Mauk. He was the guy we all expected to make the winning plays under pressure. And he didn't let us down.
The setting was a bit more subdued than a packed Southeastern Conference football stadium, but during a pickup basketball run at MizzouRec one Friday afternoon in May, Mauk carried my team to victory. Impressed? Probably not. But I saw a glimpse of what makes Missouri's sophomore quarterback the type of get-it-done leader his teammates trust.
No matter who he calls his teammates.
Mauk was leisurely shooting with wide receiver Levi Copelin that day. They had "Next," which is pickup-basketball talk meaning that they could choose any other players to fill their team for the following game. I asked Mauk if he had room for me.
"Sure," the Tigers quarterback said, his now-grizzly beard then just a cub.
I'm 5-foot-8, 145 pounds if Shakespeare's Meat Lover's pizza is still in my stomach. In other words, I don't cut an imposing figure on the basketball court. Mauk didn't seem to care. He added two more players just like me.
I thought of this when Mauk commented last week at SEC Media Days about his supporting cast. The Tigers lost their top three wide receivers, including the brilliantly skilled Dorial Green-Beckham. But Mauk didn't seem to care.
"People can say and do what they want, but we know what we have," Mauk told the media. "We have playmakers. We have an offensive line that is healthy coming back. We have a quarterback with experience."
That experience is limited to 133 passing attempts in parts of 10 games as a redshirt freshman last season. Mauk filled in for an injured James Franklin in Missouri's Oct. 12 win against Georgia started the next four games, and was an occasionally used weapon down the stretch for the 12-2 SEC East champions.
Losing is a somewhat foreign concept to Mauk, a four-star recruit out of Kenton, Ohio, who went 42-8 in high school. So when the media picked the Tigers to finish fourth out of seven teams in the SEC East this year — Missouri returns just nine total starters — he simply does not foresee that type of mediocrity.
That's the difference between high-level athletes and the rest of us. We try to use logic to rationalize why a specific outcome will or will not occur. They, meanwhile, have built a large enough reservoir of self-confidence that they expect a positive result.
I witnessed it, even in basketball games with nothing at stake.
Our first game was a bit rough. Our opponents were clearly inferior — like an early-season cupcake. Mauk didn't run hard; he missed easy layups; he threw errant passes. He coasted, and we won by a margin that was tighter than it should have been. (If South Dakota State keeps it close against Missouri in the season-opener on Aug. 30, don't say you weren't warned).
But Game 2 — against a group of players bigger, stronger and faster across the board — brought out the Mauk whom coach Gary Pinkel describes as possessing the "it factor."
It's not surprising or all that extraordinary that an SEC quarterback was physically talented enough to lead a pickup basketball team to victory, but Mauk was impressive in how he did it.
The rules of the court stipulate that games go to 16 points — counting by ones and twos. A team must win by two. It was one of those back-and-forth battles that went well beyond the 16 points, with neither team able to gain a late two-point advantage.
The man guarding Mauk — a burly, athletic player who clearly relished in the challenge of locking down Maty Mauk — was excessively physical on the perimeter. He shoved and grabbed the quarterback, our point guard, who took the contact in stride until calling a foul late in the game (players referee their own games in pickup ball).
In turn, the defender taunted Mauk with words not suitable for print. Basically, he called him soft. He called him weak. He called him unathletic. Mauk softly but defiantly commented that he'd someday make money off his athleticism.
Mauk, whom the Missouri athletics department lists at 6 feet, 200 pounds, never got rattled. He made most of our team's big plays down the stretch. He pulled up and made a 30-foot shot on one end of the court. He rose to the rim for a big block on the other.
Eventually we won the game on a deep shot by a student who will never make money off his athletic ability. Mauk and the rest of our team slapped hands to celebrate the victory.
He did not want us to lose. He would not let us lose. We did not lose.
In a sports arena, I hope and try to win. Mauk truly believes he will win. And in that recreational basketball gym last spring, I truly believed we would win because Mauk did.
Effective leaders in any industry can transfer their confidence to others. It's an especially good quality for a quarterback in the toughest college football conference in America.
When the Tigers say they believe in Maty Mauk, it's because the kid with the beard hasn't yet let them believe anything else.

This thesis explores the implications of the internet for the politics and processes of trade unionism. Michels' classic formulation on the "iron law of oligarchy" and its grounding in a communications based theory of leadership domination is presented as a heuristic devise for uncovering the significance of Information Communication Technologies for trade unionism. The present relationship of trade unionism and the internet in the United Kingdom is characterized and the potentialities for union democratization are presented. A set of concrete case studies of rank and file union internet activism are investigated. This thesis seeks to extend analysis beyond formal decision making processes and to situate communicative pathways, structures and protocols, so that the task of grasping the full significance of Information Communication Technologies for trade unionism can begin. Arising from the presentation of case study materials, new institutional patterning, politics and processes are revealed and uncovered. Established is a communicative network model of union communication, one that challenges traditional bureaucratic top down information models of union communication. With the supplementary powers revealed by the availability of distributed communication technologies leadership practices are challenged within the new context of a distributed discourse. The thesis looks forward to a collective solidarity which may be beyond the structure and shape of the present institutional form of trade unions and draws out the perils, opportunities and dilemmas that the future may bring.

dc.description.abstract | The dissertation examines the role of German and Polish feature films in the Europeanization of the construction of the Holocaust memory. The role of the global media representations in providing foundations for a 'transnational Holocaust memory' was highlighted by Natan Sznaider and Daniel Levy (2002; 2006). However, while the authors of Erinnerung im Globalen Zeitalter concentrated on the international resonance of such Holocaust representations as Steven Spielberg's 'Schindler's List', my aim is to view the Holocaust films selected here primarily from the perspective of the nationally specific historical debates to which they relate. Employing a comparative perspective, I hope to show a dynamic picture of the role of cinema in current public processes of remembrance in Europe, and examine the ways in which different visions of national and European past clash or interact. The conceptual framework of the dissertation is located at the crossroad of the following areas of intellectual debate: the question of possibility of representing the Holocaust in film and other media; the concept of collective memory and the discussion about film as a legitimate media for historical discourse; historical and public confrontation with World War II and the Holocaust in Germany and Poland since 1945, especially after 1989; finally, the debate about a European identity and the place of the Holocaust within it. | en |

Critical Essay by Norman Talbot
SOURCE: Talbot, Norman. "The 'Pomona' Lyric and Female Power." Victorian Poetry 35, no. 1 (spring 1997): 71-81.
In the following essay, Talbot offers a feminist perspective on "Pomona" and maintains that Morris was aware and concerned with feminist and ecological issues.
Admirers of William Morris were (until relatively recently) inclined to assume that his later poetry dispenses with the erotic complexities of the Defence of Guinevere volume and the menacing mortal implications of most of the Earthly Paradise narratives.1 Critics who had not read most of the ten prose romances of his last decade were especially prone to believe that his later poetry consisted simply of "affirmations," such as that brave London Lads will rise and Kelmscott four-posters tranquillize. Undoubtedly, affirmation is there, but as a hard-earned fictive triumph...

Hello, I'm a new member and would like to know if anyone has had dealings with a guide by the name of Dirk Faul?
Guide from North America? Or a PH from Africa? And if he is from Africa....which country? Narrows down the search.
Have to agree with E. A few more data points will help. This is not a Facebook , find friends search.
Dirk Faul I assume so. It's a long story but basically, I won an auction he donated last year. Correspondence has been minimal at best. Just got back from SCI in Reno. The hunt was for Namibia. Found one person who knew him and said he wasn't allowed to guide in the area. Didn't paint to rosey of picture. Hence, my question. Thank you for any help.
Without doing any research....what is the hunt? Is he a member of NAPHA? Not sure of any legalities yet, but you may be able to hunt and just take pictures....then you wouldn't have to worry about permits. But then again why head over there if there are problems in the first place. If you give some more details, I'm sure Brickburn can dig something up.
Ok, thanks for the come back. Just a standard hunt. Two guns for seven days three animals each. I'm taking my Son-in-law and two grandsons booked for this May. Red flags popped up when no info what so ever was presented. Could not get any info on accommodations, which area in Namibia, what additional species/prices etc.,virtually nothing. So, with that said I figured SCI would be a good place to ask around. This is our first trip to Africa and with kids along mistakes are not an option. I wasn't aware of this web site until recently. Fortunately, we have made other arrangements for that time period so Mr. Faul is off the hook as far as we are concerned. I am curious about him. The organization that sponsored his donation is very reputable in my home state of Wyoming and I do not want this to happen to anyone else. The company we found to replace him for that time period is ARU game lodges. We had also booked a 10 day with Bush Africa immediately following. Again, thank you for replies and help.
I have found that SCI does not screen donations. That is the hunters job. Glad your spidey sense was working and you made other arrangements. 1. He is not a member of NAPHA. 2. Claims to be a member of PHASA in some literature. He is not on the current membership list. 3. There are OLD listing/postings about hunts on various forums. 2008, 2009 Lots of references of SCI donations Texas to Detroit. 4. This is the only Dirk Faul I can find. Ntshonalanga Safaris Telephone: +27 82 446 5955 Fax: +27 86 684 2556 Email:dirkfaul @ ntshonalangasafaris.co.za Website:http://www.ntshonalangasafaris.co.za Tags: Hunting & Photographic Safaris in South Africa / Zimbabwe / Tanzania / Namibia / Botswana / Zambia Director: Dirk Faul 5. The Domain registration is open for purchase. None of the alternates are accessible. .net .com etc. 6.Domain Name registration expiration Thu, 12 Apr 2012 044125 GMT My guess: Gone the way of the DODO!
Not to agrevate any one individual but this is exactly the problem with donations to SCI at this point in time PHASA have suggested that all donation to the body should be endorsed by PHASA like DSC'S policy but this has not been done, this is causing "MAJOR" issues as 80% of all complaints by recieved by PHASA was donation related I do not anticipate Namibian complaints being any different..... I am not in the position to state any negative points about the mentioned outfitter I am only stating stats. I truly believe that SCI. Should stay true to their philosophy of FIRST FOR THE HUNTER by screening all who donate hunts, the only way to do the would be by following body's recommendations such as NAPHA, PHASA, ZPHA, and APHA. My best always.
This is certainly one place that SCI has to get their act together. How are people to trust their otherwise excellent organization if stories like this keep popping up? How can we screen the weasels out of the SCI auction and make it a safe place to buy a hunt and support SCI? I sure hope you are not out much money 123elk and good luck on your hunt with the other outfits.
123elk, First,welcome to AH. It's a great resource and I'll bet it will be helpful in planning your upcoming hunt with your Son-in-law and grandsons. You all are going to have a great time. OK, now I have to ask... Did you win this hunt in a raffle, or were you high bidder in an auction? If you were high bidder at an auction, which organization held the auction? Have they helped you with this? Who is the organization that sponsored Dirk Faul's donation? Have they helped you with this? I sure would like to hear Mr. Faul's side of the story. Hope you can get this sorted out.
Yes I think a lot of us have been thinking this same thing! And what is it with this "Dirk" thing it seems the last couple of years when enver we hear about a bad PH the name Dirk pops up, if I were a PH with the name of Dirk I'd go get it changed. :laughing:
Dirk used to work for Peter Harris at Ntshonolonga and at that time was very, very good. Since he has gone off on his own all reports I have received are very dubious.
The organization is Sportsmen for Wildlife Wyoming and yes it was an auction. I was the high bidder. I contacted one of the members who claims to have hunted with Faul and was instrumental in pertaining the donation. It has been a week since I last spoke with him. I view this as a donation. It sucks but I'm thankful ARU stepped up along with the other hunters who were booked for the same time period and are willing to have kids at the lodge. I also appreciate your all's input and help
Based on Brickburn's research, which I trust very much, I think you made the right decision going to a different outfitter. There were some serious red flags in Brickburn's research that lead me to believe Dirk is not on the up and up. I thank Brickburn for his research efforts. There are a lot of good outfitters in the AH community, next time you are looking for a hunt, this is great place to start. Lack of communication, no references....spell trouble in the hunting world. And SCI does need to clean it's act up and screen outfitters better. When I think of "Out of Africa" over the years with SCI...I think it was a damn shame they where there at conventions!
Avoid DIRK FAUL at all costs! He is a complete fraud! He has taken money and not delivered on hunts. I have personal knowledge of a woman that hunted with him for her one and only safari. After she returned home, he sent her someone else's trophy and he refused to correct the mistake. He is hunting out of Namibia now because he has been run out of South Africa. He owes so many concessions holders money, no one will let him hunt there property. He was O.K. when he worked for Peter Harris of Ntshonalanga Safaris but once he went on his own he bankrupted it. He has also defrauded people out of substantial amounts of money. Do yourself a favor and book with someone else.

Welcome to the Dunman Lab
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterial pathogen that is reported to cause more U.S. deaths annually than HIV. Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative pathogen that is emerging as a predominant cause of infections within military personnel injured during Operation Iraqi Freedom and has recently caused deadly outbreaks in the U.S., South America, and Europe. In addition to causing high incidences of morbidity and mortality, both organisms have also developed resistance to all currently available antibiotics, further amplifying public health concern and accentuating the need for new antibiotics for the treatment of S. aureus and A. baumannii infections.
Our laboratory uses S. aureus and A. baumannii as model organisms to study bacterial pathogenesis and develop novel strategies for the therapeutic intervention of bacterial infections. That work has revealed that most bacterial virulence factors are post-transcriptionally regulated in a manner that involves the modulation of their mRNA turnover. Current laboratory projects are geared toward characterizing the molecular components that govern 'native' and temporal changes in mRNA degradation. These factors can be broadly categorized as either: small non-coding RNAs, ribonucleases, or RNA binding proteins. We have purified and exploited several of these factors as targets for antimicrobial drug discovery.

Jenny McCarthy announces engagement on 'The View'
NEW YORK (AP) -- Jenny McCarthy had big news to share Wednesday on "The View": She's engaged to Donnie Wahlberg.
McCarthy raised her hidden left hand from behind the desk, revealing an engagement ring.
"It's a yellow sapphire," she said. "The View" co-host told how Wahlberg, star of CBS' "Blue Bloods" and a member of New Kids on the Block, proposed to her last weekend. She said her son, Evan, helped with the proposal.
Wahlberg, 44, then came on the set of the ABC show and hugged and kissed his fiancee.
"I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. He's so wonderful," McCarthy, 41, said.
This will be the second marriage for both.

Four MU journalism students will receive $2,500 scholarships starting in fall of 2005, courtesy of Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart said Thursday it would award $500,000 in minority scholarships to be divided among 10 journalism schools across the country — including MU — over three years. "The scholarship program is an effort to increase the level of diversity in newsrooms around the country," said a news release from Wal-Mart.
The quality of the journalism program and student demographics were the criteria on which participating universities were selected. Among the other institutions receiving scholarships are Northwestern University, the University of Texas and Columbia University's graduate program.
The scholarships will be given to minority students during their junior year. To qualify, students must have a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Preference will be given to students with a financial need. The scholarships may be renewed for a student's senior year, provided he or she maintains a GPA of at least 3.0.
"The scholarships will help us do an even better job of recruiting minorities who want to study journalism," Dean Mills, dean of the MU School of Journalism, said in a release.
The release said the school's "diversity efforts extend beyond recruitment and are integrated into the curriculum," citing a course called "Cross-cultural Journalism" that aims to help students understand how to relate to different races and cultures. The course is required all MU journalism students.

Down East
Classy set by pianist Peter Zak, accompanied by the stellar rhythm tandem of bassist Peter Washington and drummer Rodney Green. Together they strike a swinging accord on Duke Pearson's "Is That So?," Thelonious Monk's typically quirky "Gallop's Gallop" and Clifford Brown's bright, bristling "Tiny Capers." Zak's penchant for lyricism comes across on sublime renditions of Ellington's "I Didn't Know About You" and Gershwin's "Who Cares?" He contributes spirited originals in "Sector 7" and the swinging 3/4 title track, and turns in a clever new arrangement of the old Bing Crosby chestnut from the '30s, "Love Thy Neighbor," in addition to reinventing Henry Mancini's "Dreamsville" and bravely tackling Ornette Coleman's chopsbusting "Invisible." And his bossa-flavored "He Said/She Said" shows off yet another color of this chameleonic trio.

Cassandra figured that the DEA was monitoring UPS, but she apparently had no clue that agents were tapping her telephone and her computer. In dozens of phone calls and e-mails, she continued setting up deals while scheming with her son to hide their money.
Noting that police were seizing five-gallon shipments, the Harveys decided to limit purchases to one gallon per customer per month unless the customer could explain why he needed more. They also told customers that their product was not intended for redistribution. When Cassandra suggested warning labels that included the word "poison," Joshua objected. "It's not a poison, Mother," he said. "You want to put 'Warning: Intentional ingestion may be harmful or fatal.'"
With sales slowing as the DEA seized shipments, Cassandra worried about having too many barrels on hand. "What are we going to do with it?" she asked Joshua. "Sell it," her son replied. "To who?" his mother responded. "Just tell our clients, 'Oops -- well, it's over, but we've got this much left and it will be shipped discreetly," he answered.
So far as Joshua was concerned, if he and his mother were drug dealers, so were the chemical companies who sold to them and the developmentally disabled who filled the jugs. "We got the shit all set up," he told Cassandra. "We've got WAC over there doing everything -- they've got all the product over there. If they tried to charge us with drug trafficking, they'd have to charge WAC with drug distribution and packaging and all that crap. They'd have to charge [the chemical companies] for distributing drugs to us."
Cassandra mistakenly believed that the DEA thought she was selling GHB. So far as she was concerned, BD was an entirely different thing, even though she knew that the substance converts to GHB when ingested. "What are they going to do, make the human body illegal?" she asked her son. "I am not the mother of the world. I make sure children are not ordering from me. I cannot be responsible for what people do."
Cassandra had trouble following the new rules against shipping large quantities or filling orders for customers who resold their product. When the feds arrested her, she was working on a deal to sell two drums to a San Francisco man who offered to pay about $10,000 apiece. She also didn't cut off a regular who bought by the five-gallon jug and admitted sharing with others, including a friend who went into a coma after "accidentally ending up with a lot in his body."
"It's his choice, but someone like that, you've got to go, 'Whoa, dude, that's not what you said you were going to do,'" Cassandra said. "You don't want to be responsible for that. I don't, either. If you're going to receive from me, then I want all the labels ripped off and I want you to be responsible for what happens to it. I've had a lot of reports from Florida, people who were buying large quantities from me. I was getting these reports that there's all kinds of craziness going on down there -- women getting raped. I can't put up with that. It's just too scary. It's like somebody huffing paint. They can die from it."
Cassandra's worries about law enforcement increased after she heard from a Sacramento customer who warned that the feds could soon be at her door. "Honestly, I take orders in the same fashion you do," said the customer, who assured Cassandra he had a license to resell BD. "I don't want to worry about being visited by the DEA. And that's a distinct possibility that you may have to face. I'm sure you're probably ordering 55-gallon drums. I could do that, but I just don't want to do that and have a flag raised."
The man told her that it was just a matter of time before BD became impossible to obtain. "What are we going to do then?" Cassandra asked. "Find something else that's similar," he answered. "Good luck -- I don't know if there is anything else," Cassandra replied. "Actually, there's a couple of substances that are similar," the man responded. "OK, you'll let me know about that," she said before telling him his order would be shipped the next day.
A rattled Cassandra told Joshua about the conversation and said she wanted to get out of the BD business.
"It's getting too hairy," she said. "What this guy is saying is, they're trying to make it as difficult to get as GBL. So if they do that and we're sitting here with twenty damn drums or 50 drums...."
Joshua interrupted.
"Then we'll have a bunch of drums of product that's harder to get than GBL and we'll be able to sell it for a higher price," he said. "We'll sell it all off and make our damn money." Cassandra wasn't sure it would be so easy. "Well, yeah, but what if they want names and stuff?" she asked. Joshua assured her there would be no trouble. "Well, we were able to get rid of the GBL last time," he pointed out. "It didn't matter. We still sold it."

Bridget Marquardt is on a quest to discover the most beautiful beaches in the world
"I haven't done much travelling in my life at all — if you're seeing these places for the first time, so am I," says Bridget Marquardt, without any discomfiture. And, she's the host of Discovery Travel & Living's new show, 'Beach Watch'. "So I decided not to pretend. I'm not this know-it-all host walking around claiming to know everything. I want the viewers to learn about the places and their stories from the locals themselves."
Criss-crossing the globe
Perhaps, that's what makes this refreshingly honest television host so endearing. Venturing outside the Playboy Mansion to discover the most marvellous beaches in the world, Bridget Marquardt criss-crosses the globe — to places such as Australia, Croatia, Jamaica and Barbados. During her rigorous seven-month shooting schedule, she would visit more than 70 beaches, sample the cuisine, learn the language, experiment with the local apparel, and try her hand at the local sports.
Bridget earned her Master's Degree in Communications from California, but life led her to the world of modelling, and to no less than Hugh Heffner's Playboy Mansion. "But I've always wanted to host my own show," she says. "And imagine being offered a chance to travel to the most spectacular beaches in the world, as part of work!"
The seven months would see her do everything from diving with sharks in Hawaii, to cuddling Koalas in Australia. "In fact, there were a lot of things I had to do that were dangerous, but I turned nothing down," she asserts.
"But there's one thing I can't stress enough; having travelled so much, I know how polluted most of these places have become. Everywhere we went, locals would tell us how different it was, just a few years ago. For instance, most of Morocco's shorefronts are completely swamped in plastic."
She hopes that just seeing the immense beauty of these places will make people want to do something about it.
And yes, India's beaches are very much on her list of places to visit. "I will make it there for the second season," she promises.
The twelve-part series 'Beach Watch' premiered on Discovery Travel & Living on October 1 at 10 p.m.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. — When Paul "The Wrecking Ball" Isadora delivers a devastating body slam that reverberates through the Crown Room — or perhaps finds himself on the receiving end of one — it'll be best to have a good seat.
After all, it's not every day a professional wrestling extravaganza swings through North Tahoe.
Saturday, July 31, is an exception, as the Crystal Bay Casino is slated to host the 7-foot-tall, 300-pound "Wrecking Ball" and other top professional wrestlers at the Stateline Throwdown.
Credit Brad Wagner, a 2000 grad of North Tahoe High School who is producing and promoting the event.
"I've always wanted to bring a show to the Tahoe Basin, because I felt like it was the perfect place for a show and that the audience would be receptive to this type of entertainment," said Wagner, a videographer and owner of 'Til The Paper Comes Productions, based in the Bay Area. "So as soon as the opportunity presented itself, I jumped at it."
Wagner, 28, is working with Rancid vocalist/guitarist Lars Frederiksen and Kevin Gill, who's fresh off the road from touring with the Insane Clown Posse's wrestling league, JCW. Frederiksen and Gill will serve as the event hosts who introduce the athletes — guys like "The Angry Dragon," The Millwall Brawl and, the biggest-name wrestler in the Stateline Throwdown, El Generico, who appears regularly on the Ring of Honor television program.
"People are going to have a great time," said Frederiksen, a pro wrestling aficionado and commentator who also has done musical work with Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards, Dropkick Murphys, Agnostic Front and other punk groups. "For me, wrestling was always like an escape from what was going on in my day-to-day life, whether it was punk rock or whatever. And it's also a good time. It's a place where you can bring the family and be entertained for a couple of hours.
"We've got so many great wrestlers coming in for this show, it's going to be awesome."
With the venue nearly splitting the state line, Wagner had an idea to pit California wrestlers against Nevada wrestlers.
"We booked a lot of California guys and a lot of Nevada guys, so each of these guys are going to battle for state wrestling supremacy," he said.
There will be six matches total — two California-Nevada showdowns — with a showcase match between El Generico, who wrestles full-time internationally, and the winner between Shiek Kahn Abadi and "The Angry Dragon" Mike Hayashi.
These guys are no pushovers, either, and they're certainly not actors, said Wagner, explaining that there are no predetermined outcomes, as is the case with the better-known WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment).
"Once it gets underway, these guys do whatever they want. There is no controlling them," he said.
And once it is under way, Wagner said the level of athleticism is impressive, with guys flying around the ring performing airborne wrestling maneuvers. They're serious about their profession too, with most of the athletes aspiring to get scouted by the WWE for a shot at the big-time, said Wagner, who likened the Stateline Throwdown to triple-A baseball in terms of competitiveness on a pro level.
"It'll be a unique form of entertainment. I think the crowd will be willing to open up and try to forget about their preconceived notions about what wrestling is and just get out there and have fun," Wagner said. "These are really highly athletic contests between a bunch of high-flying competitors. This is not Monday Night Raw, this is not WWE, these are real guys going for it. It's a high-flying exhibition, is what it is."

This has been my third twitter account. I got the first one because I had heard such amazing things about it! I decided to jump on the bandwagon and get one, too...it quickly went up in flames. For some reason, it didn't hold my interest. I was shocked to see that so many people seemed to update their twitter SO often! I could barely think of one thing to write per day, and others could spit out around six an hour. I quickly lost interest and abandoned my account. My first account!
The second time went exactly like the first. This time, I made a whole new account, hoping that this time would work out better. Guess what? It didn't. My second account...under a fake name! >.> When we made the accounts for the class, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I didn't dislike it as much as I previously had. It could actually keep my attention this time!
Before the test on Tuesday, I will admit, I was nervous. The thought of having to keep up with what everyone was saying and translating it so quickly made me nervous. I had never experienced something like that before. After it as all said and done, though, I realized that it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be- I had actually enjoyed it! (Well, as much as one can enjoy a test...)
Although I'm still not the biggest fan of twitter, I'm learning to like it. I still have a long way to go before I'm completely comfortable using it, but in time I'm sure that it will get better.

Autos Focus: The Silver Lining of Japan's Ageing Population Cloud
Analyst Insight by Neil King.
Total passenger car sales declined over 2004-2009 in Japan but demand for standard cars has held up well and actually set a new record in 2010, even outselling mini cars for the first time ever. Given the general popularity of larger cars among older people, the cloud that is the ageing of the Japanese population appears to have a silver lining, albeit a thin one.
The Japanese passenger car market has essentially been declining for two decades due to the urbanisation of Japan's static population and lacklustre economic growth. Faced with declining demand at home, the disastrous supply chain impact of the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 and the strength of the yen, it is no surprise that domestic carmakers are looking elsewhere for sales and are investing in capacity expansion in countries such as Mexico, India and Indonesia.
Millions |
However, as supply normalises after the earthquake and tsunami, this bodes well for sales in the short term. Despite the saturation of the market and the lack of population growth, there are even opportunities over the long term.
Whereas Japan's ageing population is generally viewed as a negative factor, consumer preference is for larger cars, and although total passenger car sales declined over 2004-2009, demand for standard cars (with an engine capacity of over 2,000cc) has held up well. In fact, sales of standard cars were at their highest ever in 2010, even outselling mini cars (660cc and below) for the first time and challenging demand for small cars (661-2,000cc).
There is actually a reasonable correlation between the population of Japan that is aged over 55 and standard car demand. Similarly, demand for mini cars has been flat, in line with the size of the population aged 35-54, while small car demand and the size of the younger population of driving age (18-34) have both been declining since 2002.
Millions |
Whereas the size of the youthful population is forecast to continue to decline and the middle-aged population is predicted to remain flat, the population aged over 55 is expected to expand further and thus support demand for standard cars.

Turkey's Young Shoppers Choosing Malls Fuels Building Boom
Jan. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Turkey, where jewelry, fabrics and spices have been haggled over in bazaars for centuries, was among the last European countries to embrace modern shopping centers. It's catching up quickly.
Property developers attracted by one of the youngest populations in Europe are building malls at a faster rate than in any other country on the continent except Russia. Istanbul, Turkey's wealthiest and most populous city, is leading the way with about 30 centers in the pipeline.
"The attraction of Turkey is the enormous power of young people wanting to go out and improve their lot and their willingness to spend," said Frank Billand, board member in charge of shopping centers for Union Investment Real Estate GmbH. The Hamburg-based money manager owns four centers in Turkey valued at 450 million euros ($574 million).
Private consumption fueled an 8.2 percent increase in gross domestic product in the third quarter, three times Germany's growth rate. The economy's strength encouraged Multi Corp. BV, Inditex SA and Abercrombie & Fitch Co. to invest in a country which, according to Cushman & Wakefield Inc., has 76 square meters (818 square feet) of mall space for every 1,000 inhabitants. That compares with 240 square meters in the European Union.
Emerging Economy
Canada Pension Plan Investment Board chose Turkey over Russia and Ukraine for its long-term investment in emerging European economies. Canada's second-largest pension manager holds a 27 percent stake in the Forum Turkey Fund, which owns seven Turkish malls and is controlled by Multi Corp., the biggest developer in the country.
"It's an emerging market, so it has its bumps," said Wenzel Hoberg, the pension board's head of European real estate investment.
Hoberg and Union Investment's Billand decided to focus on centers that will dominate their area because of Turkey's relatively low number of malls. There are comparatively few opportunities to invest in office and residential projects, they said in Dec. 21 interviews at the opening of Multi's newest mall in Kayseri, Turkey, in which Union has a 50 percent stake.
Investment demand will support retail property prices and ensure capitalization rates have a "modest" gain even if rents decline, Kelvin Davidson, an economist at London-based research firm Capital Economics Ltd., said in a Jan. 5 report. Capitalization rates measure the amount of income a building can generate compared with its value.
Steady Returns
Capitalization rates for prime Turkish shopping centers were little changed at about 7.25 percent in the second half of 2011 after declining by 1 point from two years earlier, Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. said. That's still 3 points more than equivalent properties in the U.K. and 1 point more than in the Czech Republic, one of central and eastern Europe's best-performing property investment markets.
Turkey's first modern mall, Galleria Atakoy, opened in a western suburb of Istanbul in 1988. Outside that city, 37 malls will open across Turkey by the end of 2013, Jones Lang said.
Istanbul accounted for almost two-thirds of the mall space that was built in Turkey last year and will represent about 60 percent of the 1.4 million square meters scheduled to open in the 18 months through 2012, Cushman & Wakefield estimates.
By the end of 2013, the city of 13 million will have 132 centers compared with 93 at the start of 2011, Jones Lang predicts. By then, there will be 275 square meters of mall space to lease for every 1,000 inhabitants, or 15 percent more than the EU average.
Public Offerings
During the past 15 months, the strength of investor demand for mall and residential development projects enabled Turkey's Kiler and Torun families to raise about 600 million liras ($327 million) in initial public share offerings of their real estate companies, Kiler GYO AS and Torunlar GYO AS. Multi plans an IPO for Forum Turkey Fund in about two years.
Deals are heating up in the industry. Sales of large Turkish retail properties rose 35 percent last year to 336 million euros, according to figures compiled by Real Capital Analytics Inc. The figure is likely to rise again this year, the New York-based research firm said.
ECE Projektmanagement GmbH & Co., the developer controlled by Germany's Otto family, offered $525 million for Ankamall in Ankara and the Crowne Plaza Hotel next door. Pramerica Real Estate Investors is seeking more than 200 million euros for the TerraCity mall it opened in June in the resort city of Antalya.
Rent Cuts
Not every part of the market is thriving. The Sapphire Istanbul mall in Istanbul, occupying six floors of Turkey's tallest building, opened in March and the owners already plan to cut rents. The 54-story tower's mall competes with three others in the central business district. The 65,000 square-meter Zorlu Center will open in 2013 and the city's main shopping area is just three miles away.
Kiler GYO, the mall's majority owner, said Dec. 30 it will cut rents by as much as half and fix them at a favorable rate against the euro. Tenants include Sweden's Hennes & Mauritz AB, the world's second-largest clothing retailer.
"Bargaining power is back with the tenants" in Turkey's biggest cities because of the amount of space under construction and the prospect of slower economic growth, Ecem Nalbantgil, a Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst, said in a December note.
Kiler GYO shares have lost 56 percent of their value since trading for the first time in April 2011, while Torunlar GYO has declined 43 percent since the company's IPO in October 2010.
Economy Slowing
Turkey's rate of economic expansion will probably drop to 2 percent this year, the International Monetary Fund said Dec. 7.
The rent cuts are also a response to the Turkish currency's slump. The lira fell 16 percent last year against the euro as rising corporate investment and a credit-fueled consumer spree fueled a record current account deficit.
While Istanbul's center may be getting saturated, a subway extension has enabled developers to build malls in satellite towns, said Ismail Kazanc, chief financial officer of Torunlar GYO AS. Torunlar is constructing the 135,000 square-meter Mall of Istanbul, part of a 500 million-liras ($267 million) plan for 660 homes, a 300-room hotel and 25,000 square meters of offices three miles north of the airport.
Increased competition has prompted some shopping centers to focus on new ways of winning customers. Forum Istanbul, Turkey's largest mall, attracts 2 million visitors a month with 265 retail brands, an aquarium, ice skating, bowling and a 10,000 square-meter dinosaur exhibit.
Some Will Die
"Some shopping centers will die, some will continue to grow, but some adaptation will definitely happen," said Anthony Khoi, chief executive officer of Cenor Group, which manages Carrefour SA's nine outlets in Turkey.
Istanbul's Istinye Park is a modern Turkish center that's focused on high-end brands and attractions. The mall, owned by the Dogus and Orjin groups, features luxury stores including Prada SpA and Gucci. The food court is styled like a market, so diners can eat freshly prepared produce.
Mike Rodda, Cushman's head of European retail capital markets, said it's one of the best shopping centers he had ever visited. "The food court is amazing," he said.
"There's a need to differentiate and create variety in new types of shopping centers," said Avi Alkas, Jones Lang's head of Turkey. "There might be some casualties of centers which are too near to each other and cannibalize each other."

Does anyone have suggestions for luaus, helicopter tours, and snorkeling tours on Maui in December? I am interested in both poistive and negative suggestions and warnings. Are advance reservations needed or can we wake up and decide what to do that day when we know what the weather will be?
Maui-any suggestions for luau, helicopter,snorkling tours?

Deinitely Old Lahaina Luau for the luau!! It's fantastic. Yes you need reservations in advance. If it rains they hand out colorful plastic ponchos.

WHEN in December? If you're talking about Christmas holidays, you may be too late.
Old Lahaina Luau and Feast at Lele are both highly recommended (both in Lahaina).
Blue Water Rafting and Trilogy are good for snorkeling. (If you want Molokini, only book the very first boat out there. It gets crowded fast -- more people than fish.) Get out on the water on *something*, and you may see whales.
I'm not as big on helicopter tour over Maui as I am for Kauai or Big Island of Hawaii, so I don't have a suggestion. -
Report Abuse
I've used Blue Hawaiian helicopters on both Kauai and Big Island and highly recommend them. If I were to go on a helicopter tour of Maui I would pick that company. The tours were great, and I felt safe even though I am somewhat scared of heights. It was awesome.
Report Abuse
Back in the olden days on our first trip we did the obligatory Old Lah Luau. It was serviceable and fit the bill. From what I have heard, it has only gotten better in it's new location and talent. Like another poster said book it now, if it is not too late. Since then we have only gone to local fundraising luau's but doubt any are available during your stay.
Maui and helicopters is not a big thing. Kauai, the Island of Hawaii - yes. Although I have flown with Arman on a trike in Hana and we hugged a cloud! That didn't suck.
Personally, Molokini was like an over run tourist pee pool. Too many boats, too many people. There is wonderful snorkling you can do on your own off shore. BUT I have never gone out with the Pacific Whale group out of Lahaina. If they are going to Lanai that's great. If they are going to Honolua, you can do that on your own. If the whales are running, it's all good.
Happy Thanksgiving and Aloha -
Report Abuse
Another snorkeling option is the Trilogy tour snorkel cruise that goes to Lanai.
I like the Molokini trip not so much for the snorkeling, but for the boat trip and the gorgeous views of south Maui. -
Report Abuse
I went with the Pacific Whale Foundation both snorkeling and whale watching. We were supposed to go to Molokini but too windy so they took us to Shark Fin cove off the coast of Lanai- we were the only boat there and I thought snorkeling was great- but then have never been to Molokini so can't compare.
Report Abuse
Another good snorkeling place - that doesn't require a tour guide - is along the Black Rock - located outside of the old Sherton at Kanapali. Check out the Snorkel Bob's - for renting your equipment for the week, whatever.
Down south - at La Perouse Bay - is also a good spot if it's open?
Hey - just find some rocks off the beach - and you will find fish, but do double check about the local conditions for undertow, and unless you are very experienced - don't go out in big surf, which spoils the visibiity anyway. Also - go early as that's usully when it's the calmest and you can see the most fish.
My first luau was way back in '77 - at the King Kam Hotel in Kona - and it was good - but since then - as noted above - prefer to try and find a local (Sunday?) gathering at a Church - and make a donation. Check the papers, etc for notices. -
Report Abuse
Thank you all. I have the luau tickets. I have also read the trip advisor reviews of snorkling and agree about Molokini. We will try Lanai. And we are staying close to Black Rocks also. Husband wants to do the helicopter thing. I'll just keep my eyes closed and scream. That will teach him... That's why we snorkel. He can't hear me scream when I see a big fish, like a couple hundred pound grouper in Florida. Thanks for the Snorkel Bob's suggestion. We have our own custom masks but may need wet suits. See you all back here in a few weeks, providing I don't fall out of the helicopter.

I used Blue Hawaiian for a helicopter tour around the West Maui Mountains and Molokai. It really was amazing. I am not fond of heights and thought I would be nervous but it was beautiful and peaceful. I won't do another one again but it really was a great experience.

US regulator rejects banks' failure contingency plans, calls them "unrealistic"
NEW YORK (AFP) - US regulators warned Tuesday that 11 giant banks have submitted unrealistic contingency plans in the event of bankruptcy, warning that unprepared lenders could plunge the world into a new financial crisis.
The Federal Reserve and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation said the 11 titans, popularly known as "those too big to fail," must make better plans to restructure their firms in the event of failure.
FDIC Vice Chairman Thomas Hoenig said they had failed to show "how, in failure, any one of these firms could overcome obstacles to entering bankruptcy without precipitating a financial crisis." "The plans provide no credible or clear path through bankruptcy that doesn't require unrealistic assumptions and direct or indirect public support," Hoening warned.
The group comprises JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, Bank of New York Mellon, Barclays, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, State Street and UBS.

- 'Pata Negra' Ibérico ham
- Freshly sliced from whole hams daily
- Aged for over 2 years
- Mountain cured in Spain
- Size - 3 ounces
Jamón Ibérico is the crown jewel of Spanish cuisine. These slices of delectable Spanish ham are packed with complexity: like an aged Manchego cheese or a glass of fine wine, each bite has many layers of flavor. Ibérico ham has very little salt, allowing the levels of taste to take center stage. Serve on a warm plate with good bread and a fine wine.
We slice imported Ibérico ham daily at La Tienda so that you can enjoy the freshest jamón possible. Our manually operated slicers cut extra thin slices from naturally shaped hams. We take pride in making the extra effort for you to enjoy the authentic flavor of Spain.
Ibérico is the name of the famous breed of black pig indigenous to Spain. It is sometimes known as 'pata negra' or 'Jabugo', referring to a famous ham town. There are two levels of quality depending on how the animals are raised. This sliced ham is from Ibérico pigs that lived the normal livestock life, enjoying regular feed. The ultimate quality is called Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, which is made from free range Ibérico pigs that feast on acorns ('bellota') in the fall. It usually costs twice as much as normal Ibérico and is also available.
Ibérico ham is hung to cure for two to three years in the mountains of Spain. As the seasons change from the cold of winter through spring and summer, 40% of the fat melts away, bathing the ham in flavor. As the second year passes, the ham undergoes complex changes that produce incredible layers of flavor. The result is a tender and delicious ham, deep red in color with a very mild saltiness.
Every day we slice Jamón Ibérico from whole hams here at La Tienda. We import the hams bone-in and de-bone them here, so they are as fresh as possible.
Most other sliced jamón on the market is de-boned in Spain and pressure formed into a rectangular loaf. They are then frozen and cut on a high-speed industrial slicer, often months before they are purchased. This type of treatment breaks down the quality and flavor of the ham, which is why we take the slow method, using manually operated slicers to cut naturally shaped hams. We guarantee you will taste the difference!

Fath al-Bari
Author | Ibn Hajr Asqalani |
Original title | Fath al-Bari bi Sharh Sahih Al-Bukhari |
Country | Egypt |
Language | Arabic (main) with various translation. |
Subject | Hadith, Aqidah, Fiqih |
Genre | Sharah |
Publisher | Various |
Publication date
circa 773-852 H / 1372-1449 M |
Preceded by | Sahih al-Bukhari |
Fath ul-Bari fi Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari (Arabic: فتح الباري) ("Grant of the Creator") is the most valued[citation needed] Sunni commentary of Sahih al-Bukhari, written by Ibn Hajr Asqalani. It is reported that it took Asqalani 25 years to finish his work.
Praise of[edit]
'Abd al-Hayy ibn 'Abd al-Kabir al-Kattani said: "When the author of al-Hittah quoted Ibn Khaldun as saying that the explanation of Sahih al-Bukhari is a debt upon the Muslim nation, he said, 'This debt has been fulfilled by the explanation of al-Hafith Ibn Hajar.' For that reason, when it was suggested to Muhammad ibn 'Ali al-Shawkani, that he write an explanation of al-Jami' al-Sahih by al-Bukhari just as others have, he responded, 'There is no migration after al-Fath,' referring to Fath al-Bari."[1]
'Abd al-Hakim Murad said of Fath al-Bari in the introduction to the translation of Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani's commentary on selected hadith (published as a booklet by the Muslim Academic Trust): "The importance of this literature may be gauged by the fact that at least seventy full commentaries have been written on Imam al-Bukhari's great Sahih... the most celebrated of which is without question the magnificent Fath al-Bari (Victory of the Creator) by Imam Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani, a work which was the crown both of its genre and of the Imam's academic career. It is appreciated by the ulema for the doctrinal soundness of its author, for its complete coverage of Bukhari's material, its mastery of the relevant Arabic sciences, the wisdom it shows in drawing lessons (fawa'id) from the hadiths it expounds, and its skill in resolving complex disputes over variant readings."
Editions include one from the Egyptian Press of Mustafa Al-Babi Al-Halabi, 1959 (1378 A.H.).

Hi, i have an all in one p/tv at 32 inches, its got 320 gb hd, 1.5 memory and runs Win 7 Ultimate. Until recently it had built-in graphics which was not good for some games. I brought recently a low profile PCI-E card, a ATI X600 with 128mb.
It took me ages but eventually I was able to work out that I needed to attach one cable to the HDMI and the other to the graphics card output. I now have a picture but the screen is very bright and brittle looking with distortions.
I am ashamed to say that the on-board graphics card looks better but I dont want that. Is there a way to get a better picture?

@ICF, thanks for that, the only drivers available for my pci-e were ones for Vista. I have downloaded and put them into compatibility mode vis a ve the catalyst centre. However, when I start up CC it tells me my version of it is not compatible. Any more ideas?

ICF, I know about the win7 drivers, however they wont work with my card. When I put in my card series and operating system, the only one it finds are the ones for vista. To be fair it does say on the site; "AMD has moved a number of DX9 ATI Radeon™ graphics accelerators products to a legacy driver support structure. This change impacts Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Linux distributions. AMD has moved to a legacy software support structure for these graphics accelerator products in an effort to better focus development resources on future products.
The following products have been moved to the legacy software support structure (including Mobile and All-in-Wonder Variants):
ATI Radeon 9500 Series
ATI Radeon 9550 Series
ATI Radeon 9600 Series
ATI Radeon 9700 Series
ATI Radeon 9800 Series
ATI Radeon X300 Series
ATI Radeon X550 Series
ATI Radeon X600 Series" It also says; "Note: AMD's DirectX 9 ATI Radeon graphics accelerators are not officially supported under Windows 7. If the user chooses to, they can install the ATI Catalyst Windows Vista graphics driver under Windows 7.
Please be aware that none of the new Windows 7 graphics driver (WDDM 1.1) features are supported (as the Windows Vista level graphics driver is limited to WDDM 1.0 level support).
Using the ATI Catalyst Windows Vista driver under Windows 7 is not officially supported by AMD, and as such AMD will not provide any form of customer support for users running in this configuration"
I hope you can still help with this-thanks so far

Acts 1:1-14 |
Entire Chapter | Next Chapter |
1 The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,
3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me;
5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." 6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" 7 And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." 9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven." 12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey. 13 And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. 14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

Ticket #228 (confirmed New Feature)
Clean HTML function (separate from Clean From Word function)

It would be very useful to have a button that cleaned the HTML currently in the editor. What I mean by cleaning the HTML is having the option to do one or more of the following:
- removing FONT tags
- removing CSS Class references (class=".....")
- removing SPAN tags
- removing MS Word formatting
- removing all HTML tags
While the Paste From Word function is very useful for pasting in new content, often it is necessary to clean up an existing document, e.g. to strip out all formatting and get it back to the bare paragraphs, lists and tables.
This function is available in the radEditor with the Format Stripper button (brush icon)- see http://www.telerik.com/demos/aspnet/Editor/Examples/Default/DefaultCS.aspx), and the CuteEditor with the Cleanup HTML button (brush icon) - see http://cutesoft.net/example/general.aspx).
