Sprint Cup Series
Toyota/Save Mart 350 - Sonoma Raceway - Sonoma, California
Marcos Ambrose knows his best chance of locking himself in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship will be with a win in either one of the two road- course races during the regular season -- Sonoma Raceway and Watkins Glen International.
The Sprint Cup Series will run its first road course race of the season on Sunday at Sonoma, located in Northern California's wine country. Watkins Glen in Upstate New York is scheduled for the second weekend in August.
Ambrose, who is in his fourth year as driver of the No. 9 Ford for Richard Petty Motorsports in Sprint Cup, is considered one of the best "road-course ringers" in NASCAR. The 37-year-old Australian has two career wins in NASCAR's premier series, and both of those victories occurred at Watkins Glen (2011 and '12). In last year's race there, he started on the pole and led the most laps with 51 but was involved in an accident in the closing laps, which led to a 31st-place finish.
Ambrose has yet to win a Sprint Cup race at Sonoma but has come close here in the past. He has finished no worse than eighth in the previous five events at this 1.99-mile, 12-turn course. In the 2010 race at Sonoma, Ambrose held the lead during a caution with just seven laps to go but slowed on the track and fell from his leading position to seventh after he turned his engine off in an effort to conserve fuel. That allowed Jimmie Johnson to grab the top spot. Johnson won at this track for the first time, while Ambrose ended up finishing sixth.
Currently 23rd in the point standings, Ambrose would be virtually guaranteed a berth in the Chase if he wins at Sonoma or any other track during the 26-race regular season. He has yet to make the Chase since becoming a full-time Sprint Cup competitor in 2009.
"We know that the two road races are our best chance to win a race this year," Ambrose said. "That will automatically lock us into the Chase. Clearly, there's a lot to race for at these two tracks for us.
"We've put a lot of energy and effort into Sonoma. We went out there and did the Goodyear tire test earlier in the season. We've done some road-course testing as well, so we feel we're as ready as we can be."
Ambrose has been a road-course expert throughout his racing career. He is a two-time Australian V8 Supercar champion (2003-04), winning 27 races. Ambrose won three consecutive Nationwide events at Watkins Glen from 2008-10 and had a victory in that series at Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in 2011.
"My natural skill set obviously is road racing," he said. "I'm quite confident on the ovals but haven't had the same success I've had on the road courses. Really, it's just the years of training. It's my niche.
"I feel very comfortable road racing. I feel like I can apply myself well on the weekend. The biggest thing I try to do on a buildup to a weekend like this, there's pressure building, there's a chance to lock yourself into the Chase, which would make your season. You get a chance to win a Sprint Cup race, which you don't get to do very often."
There have been nine different winners in the past nine Sprint Cup races at Sonoma -- Tony Stewart (2005), Jeff Gordon (2006), Juan Pablo Montoya (2007), Kyle Busch (2008), Kasey Kahne (2009), Johnson (2010), Kurt Busch (2011), Clint Bowyer (2012) and Martin Truex Jr. (2013). Kahne drove the No. 9 car for Petty's team when he won here. He is now behind the wheel of the No. 5 car for Hendrick Motorsports.
Ambrose is hoping he'll be number-10 at Sonoma. It would make him the 11th different driver to win a race this season.
Richard Petty Motorsports competed in the Chase for the first time with Kahne in '09. Can Ambrose give RPM its second berth in the playoffs?
"It certainly would make our year," he said. "We know our year is not complete if you can't make the Chase. It's like you haven't qualified for the finals. I haven't made it to the Chase yet. This format will give us our best chance to do it, if we can win a race at either Watkins Glen or Sonoma. We know that. It would really make our year, no doubt about that. It would certainly make our sponsors and Richard Petty very happy."
A driver from Hendrick has won the last five points-paying races. Gordon started the streak last month at Kansas. Johnson has scored three victories in the past four events (Charlotte, Dover and Michigan). Dale Earnhardt Jr. took the checkered flag at Pocono.
Gordon holds the record for most wins at Sonoma with five, including three in a row from 1998-2000.
Forty-three teams are on the entry list for the Toyota/Save Mart 350.
Nationwide Series
Gardner Denver 200 - Road America - Plymouth, Wisconsin
While the Sprint Cup Series runs its first road-course race of the season this weekend at Sonoma Raceway, the Nationwide Series has its maiden road-course event in 2014 at Road America.
With Kyle Busch competing at Sonoma, Sam Hornish Jr. will drive the No. 54 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing in this race. Hornish is running a limited schedule for JGR in Nationwide this year. He made his debut with the team on May 3 at Talladega, where he started on the pole and finished fifth. Two weeks later, he won at Iowa after leading 167 of 250 laps.
Hornish also competed in last weekend's Nationwide race at Michigan, driving JGR's No. 20 car to a second-place finish.
"It's been a great start to my scheduled season," Hornish said. "I've had two races in the No. 54 Monster Energy [sponsored] car - a win and a fifth place. Hopefully, we'll keep that up pretty good. I got the bonus of being able to run last weekend in the 20 car, with a second place there [at Michigan]. I'm really happy with the way things have gone. Hopefully, we'll continue to carry that over to the road-course side of it."
After Road America, Hornish is scheduled to drive the No. 54 car at Chicagoland (July 19), Iowa (Aug. 2), Mid-Ohio (Aug. 19), which is also a road course, and Kentucky (Sept. 20).
Hornish drove the No. 12 car for Roger Penske's team in Nationwide full-time from 2012-13. Last year, he finished only three points behind champion Austin Dillon. But at the conclusion of the season, Penske ceased operations with the 12 due to lack of sponsorship. In January, JGR hired Hornish to run a partial schedule in the series this season.
"I'm really proud to be doing this schedule that I'm doing this year," he said. "It's not as much as I would like to be out there on the racetrack, but to be with JGR has been a lot of fun so far. The only thing that's missing is being able to do it every week."
Hornish has a Nationwide career average finish of 8.6 on road courses. He has finished fifth in each of his two starts at Road America (2012 and '13).
"Road America is a great race track, one of the coolest road courses in America," Hornish said. "It's a neat place to race with a lot of history there. My last two times here I finished the same - a strong top-five, but obviously we want more out of it this weekend. I think I can have a really good race with this No. 54 team. I'm really looking forward to it."
On Friday, Hornish posted the fastest lap in final practice. He made a lap around this 4-mile course at 108.189 mph. Brian Scott was second on the charts, with his lap just 0.007 seconds behind Hornish. Alex Tagliani, who is driving the No. 22 car for Penske in this race, was third, followed by Regan Smith, the current points leader, and Brendan Gaughan. The first practice session was called off due to rain.
Smith enters Saturday's 50-lap race at Road America with a 14-point lead over Elliott Sadler and a 20-point advantage over rookie Chase Elliott.
Thirty-eight teams are on the entry list for the Gardner Denver 200.
Austrian Grand Prix - Red Bull Ring - Spielberg, Austria
Mercedes drivers Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton set the pace in Friday's practice for the Austrian Grand Prix, as Formula One has returned to this European country for the first time since 2003.
With F1 teams becoming acquainted with the 2.688-mile (4.326-kilometer), 9- turn Red Bull Ring, located in the scenic foothills of the Alps, Rosberg and Hamilton were the top-two drivers in the two practice sessions.
During the first session, Rosberg had the quickest time in 1 minute, 11.295 seconds. Hamilton was just a tick behind in 1:11.435, while Fernando Alonso from Ferrari posted a lap in 1:11.606.
"I did a lot of laps today, and on a new track, every lap is important for the learning process, so I'm quite happy with that," Rosberg said. "In general, it was a complicated day for me, so there is still some lap time to find compared to my teammate [Hamilton]. My car is bouncing a lot down the straights, and that continues into my braking zones, so it was difficult there. But I'm sure we can improve on that."
Hamilton led the way in the second session. His fastest lap was clocked in 1:09.542, which was almost four-tenths of a second quicker than Rosberg's best lap. Alonso was once again third quickest.
"It didn't feel bad out there today, considering this is a new track to me," Hamilton said. "Already after the first few laps, I was feeling comfortable and always seemed to be finding time with new lines and improvements. To be as quick as I was, considering others have already driven this track, is a great feeling. It was very windy out there today, but we got a lot of running, and we feel set for the race on Sunday."
Rosberg and Hamilton combined for a total of 138 laps in the two sessions, which was the equivalent to nearly two race distances. Sunday's Austrian GP is 71 laps.
"The high speed corners were working the rear tires hard, but they seemed to cope well," Hamilton noted. "The feeling was good for both sets of tires, even in the long runs, so if the car is like this for the race, I'm in a good place. The goal for [Saturday] will be pole position, but there is still a long straight up to turn two so anything can happen in the race."
Rosberg enters the Austrian GP, the eighth round in this year's F1 world championship, with a 22-point lead over Hamilton.
When F1 most recently competed two weeks ago in Canada, Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo scored his maiden win, passing Rosberg for the lead with less than three laps to go as Rosberg was dealing with an ill-handling car. The race concluded with the deployment of the safety car after Force India's Sergio Perez and Felipe Massa from Williams made contact and spun out before both drivers slammed hard into the barrier on the final lap.
Here in Austria, this will be a big weekend for Ricciardo and his teammate, Sebastian Vettel, the four-time world champion, as the Austrian GP is the home race for the Red Bull Racing F1 team. Austrian businessman Dietrich Mateschitz, who founded the Red Bull Energy Drink company in the mid-1980s, owns both the team and the racing circuit in Spielberg.
"It's great to be going to Red Bull's home race after an awesome weekend in Canada," Ricciardo said. "The Red Bull Ring is a tidy circuit, not the longest and not many corners, but what is there is good."
Ricciardo's win in Canada moved him up to third in the championship standings. He is a distant 61 points behind Rosberg.
Formerly known as the Osterreichring and the A1-Ring, the Red Bull Ring has been significantly upgraded since it last hosted an F1 grand prix 11 years go. The Austrian GP was contested on the Osterreichring from 1970-87 and the A1- Ring from 1997-2003. Zeltweg Airfield hosted the first F1-sanctioned Austrian GP in 1964.

What we consider pests in some parts of the world is considered a delicacy—or just plain lunch with a crunch. Did you know that more than 1,700 species of insects are edible? Not only are they in abundance, but they are highly nutritious and sustainable. I learned a lot about eating bugs in the fall issue of World Ark magazine from Heifer International.
Here's the scoop in case you are considering going green by including edible insects in your next stir fry. Entomophagy, the practice of eating insects, is picking up popularity in the U.S., not just in the countries where it is rather common: Southeast Asia, Central Africa and Latin America. According to the article "Extra Crunch with Lunch" by Sarah Schmidt, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization is stepping up efforts to include edible insects in the fight against poverty and malnutrition in the above countries.
Apparently, it is pretty common to eat bugs which are high protein, containing more per gram than meat, as well as a wide range of vitamins and minerals. Put that idea next to the fact that the world population is expected to grow from 7 billion to 9 billion by 2050 and suddenly insect eating becomes more attractive. They don't require much space or resources to raise and they produce less waste than your average meat-bearing edible animal.
Restaurants from Los Angeles to New York are spouting bug-laden recipes like chocolate chirp cookies (with crickets) and a scorpion side salad. The irony, claims the article, is that just as it is becoming more in fashion in the West, eating insects is falling out of favor in developing countries as they are exposed to more Western ideas. That's what the UN and other development experts are trying to combat.
Want to give it a try? The closest event listed in the article to Ohio is the Purdue Bug Bowl in West Lafayette, Ind., on April 14-15, 2012. You can also check out more information on the blog Insects Are Food at insectsarefood.com or Girl Meets Bug at girlmeetsbug.com.
I'll be interested to see if this trend hops along or crawls into a "fad-only" phase. Now get out there and catch some crickets!

Gold Nanorods for Medical Treatment
Fanny Littmarck | January 10, 2013
Nanorods are synthetic nanoscale objects used in the area of nanotechnology. They can be synthesized from semiconducting materials or metals, such as gold. The applications of nanorods are many, ranging from display technologies and energy harvesting to cancer therapy.
What Are Nanorods and Where Are They Used?
Nanorods do not exist in nature; they must be created via direct chemical synthesis (chemical reactions carried out with a particular end-product in mind). The elongated rod-shape is a result of a particular combination of ligands that bond to different parts of the nanorod with varying strength, allowing them to grow at different rates. Once the nanorods have been produced, they can be used in several different applications. For example, they are thought to be useful in display technologies as their reflectivity can be altered by applying an electric field that in turn changes their orientation. Another application of nanorods is in cancer therapy. In that case, the nanorods are conjugated with some tumor targeting substance and ingested by the patient. Then, the patient is exposed to infrared light, which locally heats the tumor cells containing the nanorods — and only destroys the cancerous tissue.
Photothermal Treatment of Cancer with Gold Nanorods
The use of nanorods for cancer treatment is lauded as a safer treatment option since only the cancerous tissue is destroyed, leaving the healthy tissue intact. Researchers from the Italian National Research Council presented a paper at the COMSOL Conference 2012 Milan outlining their preliminary results for designing a new concept for destroying cancer tumor tissue via hyperthermia. When designing the settings for such treatment, the authors suggest that it's important to study the thermal effects close to the nanoparticle (nanoscale), in the vicinity, as well as in the cancerous tissue (microscale). COMSOL Multiphysics was therefore utilized to determine the diode laser irradiation parameters as well as the necessary treatment time for the design.

In the paper, "Laser Activated Gold Nanorods for the Photothermal Treatment of Cancer", you can see all of their 2D temperature-dependent nano-and microscale models of the thermal effects and how they reached their conclusion. The preliminary results, they say, can be used to design experimental measurements in cells.

March 18
by: ASRM Office of Public Affairs
Published in ASRM Press Release
The Practice Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine today issued a new report on endometriosis- its treatment, incidence, and mechanism of associated pelvic pain.
Endometriosis - a condition in which the tissue lining the uterus develops outside of the uterine cavity in abnormal locations such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and abdominal cavity- is one of the most common gynecologic disorders and is found in 70% to 90% of female patients with pelvic pain. The evaluation and treatment of endometriosis are considered difficult because there is no standard method to measure pain; the mechanisms by which endometriosis causes pain are not completely understood; comparisons of the success of medical versus surgical treatments or placebo are difficult; endometriosis and associated pain may involve nearby organ systems beyond the reproductive tract; and pain attributed to endometriosis may have a true origin elsewhere.
Based on a comprehensive review of the literature on the disorder, the committee discussed the diagnosis of endometriosis, possible mechanisms of pain, and the appropriateness and effectiveness of different surgical and medical therapies, taking into account patients' disease stage and reproductive plans.
Surgical therapies are discussed in detail, from laparoscopic procedures to removal of endometriotic cysts to hysterectomy. Medical therapies discussed range from nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs to hormonal treatments, which may include progestins, gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists, contraceptive steroids, and aromatase inhibitors.
The committee also discussed additional treatments such as physical therapy to counter postural changes that may result from chronic pelvic pain, acupuncture, and counseling by a mental health professional to address the stress and depression that may be associated with extended suffering from pain.
They concluded that endometriosis should be viewed as a chronic disease. While further studies comparing medical and surgical treatment are needed, a life-long management plan should maximize the use of medical treatments and avoid repeated surgical procedures. Hysterectomy with removal of the ovaries should be reserved for women with debilitating symptoms reasonably attributed to the disease, who have completed childbearing and have not responded to less intensive treatments.
Linda Giudice, MD, PhD, Past President of ASRM, commented, "Endometriosis and pelvic pain affect millions of women in the US and worldwide. The disease can strike very early in a woman's life, in her teens, and can last until menopause. The pain associated with endometriosis can be severe and debilitating, interfering with a woman's work and relationships, drastically diminishing her quality of life, and potentially contributing to infertility. The Practice Committee's new report on evaluating and treating endometriosis and pelvic pain distills our current knowledge into a detailed guidance that will be valuable to all women's healthcare providers."
Rebecca Sokol, MD, MPH, Acting President of ASRM, added, "ASRM is very proud to be a co-sponsor of the worldwide March for Endometriosis 2014. We invite everyone to join us in showing their support for the women who are suffering from this disease. We hope this event draws more attention to the need for more research into the causes and treatment of endometriosis."
In the US, the march will take place on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Thursday, March 13. Check ASRM's website for more information: http://www.asrm.org/Endomarch_2014/.

Simmons: #NHL #GMs are #Slackers by not sending out offer sheets to #RFA like #Stamkos & #Doughty.
That article is absolute crap. There's no way of knowing if there were any offer sheets for Stamkos because he would have to sign it first. Moreover, that piece of turn Simmons says he would have signed a one year deal. How would that help anyone? The Bolts would have no problem signing a one year deal at that price. There's much more that goes into offer sheets than just putting them out there. Simmons is a dinkus.
Prax - the one year deal might not sound like a big deal, but the reality of it is that as long as Stamkos would be an RFA he would have to be qualified @ that amount + the minimum increase per the CBA. The net effect would be the potential for a 4-5 year contract @$12M+ per year.
Or, alienating the people he works for and his teammates by doing something like that?
The way the one year deal works is that next season, being an RFA still, the minimum qualifying offer would have to be at the lowest the same as the previous year's contract and so Tampa would have to continue qualifying him at that amount until he becomes a UFA or they negotiate something else during the season. It's a stupid argument because if they did walk from this type of offer sheet, the team that signed him would be in the exact same situation.
As for GM's not doing there jobs, I disagree. If a GM went ahead and offer sheeted Stamkos, not only would it have been matched, but now that GM has put a target on his back. There could be retaliation on said GMs own players and even other GMs refusing to deal with them and ultimately like Prax said, alienating himself. Teams are bigger than one player, so I would say by not offer sheeting Stamkos and protecting their own teams, GMs did their jobs just fine.
#Washington #Capitals sign #RFA Troy #Brouwer to a 2 year contract extension for $2.35M per season. Reported by @GMillerTSN @capsmedia via Twitter. #Caps now approximately $2M over the cap limit.
How a team can go over a $65 million cap is beyond me. Semin is obviously halfway out the door now.
They still need to sign Alzner, who will likely sign for $2.5M+. I agree that Semin is likely gone, but it wouldn't surprise me if Greene is dangled as trade bait as well.

Woods' 27 Not Enough; Men's Basketball Falls to Cheyney in Season Opener 100-90
November 15, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Cheyney Universitys Sharif Bray scored 33 points to lead the Wolves to a 100-90 victory over Pfeiffer University on Sunday night in day one of the 2009 Highway 52 Shootout. Tonight marked the season opener for both teams as the Falcons will play Livingstone in tomorrows consolation game at 5:00 p.m. while Cheyney will take on Catawba at 7:00 p.m.
22 of Brays 33 points came in the first half as the Wolves held a 54-52 advantage at the break. The first 20 minutes of play went back and forth as Cheyney held a nine-point lead after a pair of free throws by Rob Townsend just before the break. Isaac Carr pulled down an offensive rebound and converted the put-back with 7:30 to tie the contest at 32-32. Bray would drain a couple of free throws and jumpers late to give the Wolves their two-point lead at the half.
Five minutes into the second half, Pfeiffer would again grab the lead back at 62-60 on a three-ball by James Crowder. Brays three-pointer would square things at 65 before two of Chris Woods 27 points gave the Falcons the lead back 60 seconds later. Woods free-throw at the seven minute mark once again knotted the contest at 82 apiece, but Bray and teammate Kevin Presbery would take over from there. Each would hit a couple of jumpers and several free throws late as the Wolves pulled away from the 10-point victory.
Along with Brays 33, Cheyney benefited from a Presberys 26 point effort along with Rob Townsend and Charles Brazzle each scoring 13. For the host Falcons, Jeff Pettiway dropped in 14 while Davon Gilliard and James Crowder each threw in 13.

Our vehicle skids to a stop at a traffic light in the heart of downtown Panama City, Panama. Through the window I see hundreds of expats congregating around Caesar Park Casino and free internet cafes.
In three days we'll meet an Embera tribe, visit the future site of the Rainforest Discovery Center and rehash Spanish history in Portobelo - activities only minutes away from the 10 x 50 mile stretch known as Panama's 'narrow waist'.
The World's Eighth Wonder
Our small white mini-van bumps from side-to-side along a poorly maintained concrete road. The driver swerves to avoid crater-size potholes and thick pockets of mud from an early morning deluge.
The road runs parallel with what's known as the Eighth Wonder of the World. Though we just left the city 25 minutes ago we're already in the heart of one of the country's greatest national parks, Soberania.
Teaming with wildlife, history and age-old trails, Panama is an eco-traveler's undiscovered paradise. By next year, tourism consultant Christopher Seek of Solimar International hopes to make Panama's 'green growth' an attraction as popular as the Canal. His goal is an ambitious and promising one.
Forty-eight thousand acres of protected rain forest once controlled by the U.S. military is now open for recreational and educational use. When the US relinquished claim to the canal in 1999 they left behind housing, hospitals, commissaries, infrastructures and most importantly - a philosophy of preserving biological diversity.
Seek and naturalists like Luis Paz and Beatriz Schmitt along with eco-adventure experts Skipper and Jill Berger are leading names in promoting sustainable tourism in Panama.
The van stops and we're shuffled onto a small tour boat for a day-long immersion with the Embera Community. The Embera are nostalgic people who have chosen to preserve their culture through tourism and selling famous handcrafts.
Consummate animal and birdwatcher Luis Paz is aboard to interpret their native language. His keen eyes and acute hearing also help pinpoint endemic species like terrestrial antbirds, wrens and finches. Some whistle melodious songs or haunting duets while others sound more like a repetitive alarm clock.
Paz deciphers the cacophony and sets our sights on our fine-feathered friends hidden in lush vegetation. It's an aggravating game of hide-and-seek in a dense tangle of vines. By the time I find the species and focus my camera the bird camouflages itself behind another palm.
In the distance the ominous bellows of a mantled howler monkey can be heard. Their growls and screams travel for miles in thick jungles.
The first Spanish settlers believed the noise emanated from a giant prehistoric monster roaming deep in the woods. Unlike the skittish whimpers of spider monkeys, howlers kept the Spanish from exploring parts of Panama for a long time until the source was discovered.
Our two-stroke engine cuts through the deep blue Chagres River passing a football-field size cargo vessel that could squash us like a bug if we were caught in its wake. Its modern girth squeezes through three locks, Miraflores, Gatún and Pedro Miguel on its way north to the Caribbean.
Meeting the Embera
Waiting on the shoreline is a pair of Embera tribe members dressed in loose loincloth. The Chagres National Park is a protected environment so we don a life-vest and inch our way into a motorized dug-out canoe.
Fifteen-foot long Cayucos canoes are essential to navigate the narrow passageways of the Chagres. It's a tippy journey forcing us through a blanket of dense mangroves and hearty water lilies. Quintessential canoe builders, the Embera once maintained the U.S. government's fleet of canoes when they controlled the Panama Canal.
When we arrive five small sinewy musicians are playing light-hearted beats from strange instruments made from turtle shells and tree bark.
The women are wearing beaded halter-tops that barely cover their chests complimented by colorful short skirts. There are five or six wide-eyed children frolicking on the bank.
Our guide, 27 years young with a daughter and wife, knows jungle warfare all too well. While trekking he describes survival techniques taught to American soldiers before they went overseas to fight in Vietnam. Many Embera kept wounded or stranded soldiers alive when they jumped into the jungles here.
Healing Compounds
The circling mosquitoes don't bother our guide but they're notorious - so make sure your wearing bug repellant.
The sweltering tropical sun works up our appetites. Back where we started, several women are preparing dinner in thatch-roofed huts elevated 10 feet above ground. This protects them from preying animals, insects and the rain.
The Embera Community offers a rare glimpse into one of only seven surviving tribes left in Panama. Their vitality and resilience to change provides a vital link to Panama's past and the rainforest as a whole. For more information on visiting the Embera, contact Rogelio L. Nunez.
Kayaking Panama's History
By way of a short kayak trip across Portobelo Bay we're staggering our way through Panama's history the next day. Our tour guide's momentum is no match for the heady climb that paralyzes the rest of us. Skip Berger absorbs the heat and humidity and empowers us to keep moving. He's given so many tours here that he can literally climb this hill blindfolded.
He and his wife were raised in Panama by parents who worked for the then-American controlled Panama Canal. But after the 1979 Torrijos-Carter Treaty was signed and the US relinquished control of the canal to the Panamanians, Skip and Jill refused to leave. They, like their parents and grandparents before them, call Panama home and are raising a fifth generation son here.
History and beauty surround us at the top of the battery lookout of Fort San Fernando. The city of Portobelo looms in the distance. Christopher Columbus discovered this area on his fourth voyage across the Atlantic from Spain. The aerial vistas of Panama's northern isthmus are breathtaking.
"Look to your left", points Berger, "that's where Columbus first met with the indigenous tribes".
The Customary Looting and Plundering
As the Indians lost to European aggression the city grew so prosperous that it tempted smugglers and infamous pirates. Four forts with walls of thick stone and armed with canon were built to protect it. Munitions depots and an impenetrable Custom House warded off invaders... but only for a short time.
Explorers enjoy anchoring their sailboats alongside the crumbling ruins and decaying cobblestone streets of Portobelo. It's a sleepy little Caribbean fishing town unmarred by commercialism and yawn-some excesses.
The empty beach in the shadows of the Spanish stronghold tempts me to enjoy a plunge before heading back to Portobelo. The sparkling blue Caribbean is temperate as bath water and I wash away the sticky climb.
Says Berger, "Scuba diving and snorkeling for hidden treasure is another popular activity". Next time I'll make sure to bring my fins. For now, I leisurely float buoyant in the salty blue ocean.
A Miracle From Above
Berger goes on to explain how the Black Christ came to find its home in Portobelo. Hundreds of years ago, the black sculptural figure of Jesus Christ washed ashore during a terrible cholera epidemic. Two passing fishermen found the statue and prayed for an end to the suffering in town.
As a result every October 21st, the Feast Day of the Black Christ of Portobelo is celebrated with great adulation. Upwards of 40,000 devotees make the yearly pilgrimage to worship the purple-robed pontiff. Some even come crawling on all fours punishing themselves with scathing burns and bruises hoping for penance for heinous sins.
At eight o'clock, the statue depicting Christ carrying the cross is paraded out of the church on a platform borne by 80 men. It weighs a backbreaking ton and the procession takes hours to complete.
Not far from Portobelo is the beginning of a stone highway called the Royal Path or Camino de Cruces. Before the the Panama railroad or the canal, the Spanish laid a cobblestone road that ran 50 miles through juggles and predatory environments. Once wide enough for mule trains it now requires demanding bushwhacking to locate the original path. We explored only about 2 miles of it before retiring to our vehicle.
The Rainforest Discovery Center
By January 2007, the Tropical Rainforest Discovery Center at Pipeline Road within Soberania National Park will be open to visitors. This is where the Audubon Society has held its world record Christmas bird count record for 19 straight years so bring a set of binoculars!

Most people, including cat lovers, probably are unaware that cats themselves can have allergies, especially to mosquito bites.
Occurring mostly during the hot summer months in warmer climates, mosquito bite hypersensitivity is a moderately common disease in cats, as it was first described during the beginning of the 1980s.
Mosquito bite hypersensitivity is an intense overreaction of a cat's immune system to a mosquito bite. Because a cat's immune system works as its defense mechanism, when something foreign is occurs, such as contact with mosquito saliva, their immune system immediately attempts to repel it from the cat's body.
In the event of hypersensitivity, however, a cat's immune system does not stop trying to repel the foreign matter and, in fact, will make the situation much worse.
Sign and Symptoms
Lesions such as scaling, areas of crusts and raw ulcers are a few of the more common signs of mosquito bite hypersensitivity in a cat. These lesions are mostly predominant on a cat's nose or its ears.
Hair loss and color pigment changes around the bite may develop in the long run on cats that have mosquito bite hypersensitivity.
Another sign is swelling of the underside of a cat's foot. The pads of their feet may also become tender, red and may have fissures. A few cats may even present with a fever and swollen lymph nodes.
If the cat does not interact with mosquitoes consistently after the first infection, symptoms may improve on their own. If symptoms persist, looking similar to roundworm or other diseases, your vet will be able to determine exactly what is going on by taking a biopsy. If need be, the vet can prescribe a corticosteroid to reduce the animal's discomfort.
In cats mosquito bite hypersensitivity is usually diagnosed by a qualified veterinarian. Since it can also look a lot like many other types of skin disorders and allergies, it is important to have a veterinary examination to rule out a Cat Food Allergy, Cat Ringworm, eosinophilic plaque, lupus erythematosus, squamous cell carcinoma, or simply a bacterial infection.
However, there are other factors that are considered before a final diagnosis is given, such as the season of the year, the signs and symptoms, biopsy results and whether or not the skin lesions had improved after a cat had been placed in a mosquito-free area for around 4 to 7 days.
In most mild cases of mosquito bite hypersensitivity in cats, the lesions will resolve in their own time. It is encouraged that a cat remain in a an area that is free from mosquito's during this recovery period, such as inside the house.
Those cases that are more severe, however, may be treated with a corticosteroid that is either injected or digested orally.
Unfortunately some cats who are easily affected by mosquito bite hypersensitivity receive treatment intermittently throughout the mosquito season with low doses of steroids. There are more safer, holistic remedies for mosquito and other Cat Bug Bites.
Mosquito bite hypersensitivity can easily be prevented by limiting a cat's access to mosquito prone areas. Therefore, it makes sense that cats should not be exposed to mosquitoes. It's healthiest for cats-and other creatures-to remain indoors for many other reasons (they could drink or eat something poisonous, they could get hit by a car, and they can wreak havoc on bird populations), and now here's another good reason to keep your cat inside, especially during early morning hours and during dusk, because those are times when mosquitoes are quite active.
If you feel strongly that your cat should go outside and enjoy the fresh air once in awhile, you could purchase what is known as a cat tunnel or outdoor cat run. These are large, long, mesh enclosures that cats can lounge in during the day. These should prevent the entrance of mosquitoes, depended upon the size of the mesh. Additionally, you can feel secure knowing the exact location of your pet.
Conversely, control the mosquito population in your backyard is also extremely important. Never allow rain water to sit still for long periods of time.

Hello fellow Dharma Wheelers,
I was wondering if you had any thoughts about how to gently expose your relatives and other people to the Dharma who are indifferent to it now and who seem to think that believing in anything but material things is pure stupidity.
I met some of my relatives recently whom I hadn't seen in a while. It seems to make them feel pretty awkward that I am heavily involved with Buddhism now. I wish I could expose them Dharma in a gentle way which they would benefit from and wouldn't reject, but I don't think I have the skill to do this yet.
It especially depresses me when I think of my grandmother. She is 85 and knows nothing about Buddhism and isn't the slightest bit religious in any other way either. All she does is cook, clean, shop, go to her exercise class, and visit with relatives. She does a few nice things for others, but I could easily imagine her getting reborn as an ignorant animal.
The thought of someone being very old and knowing nothing about Buddhism is something that I find horrifying. The thought of a person having wasted most of her human lifespan depresses me beyond belief. However, I think that there is little I can do for my grandmother other than dedicate the merit from some of my meditations to her.
At the same time, I am optimistic about my mother. She is very supportive of my Buddhist activities and enjoys it when I tell her the details of the Buddhist retreats I've gone to and about the Tibetan lamas I've met. She naturally feels very warmly about the Dalai Lama. Perhaps in the future, I might be able to convince her to do some simple Buddhist practice, such as reciting the mani mantra. She seems to have better karma right now than my grandmother does.
It's painful to see sentient beings acting foolishly and not to know how to help them.

It was the generation that inspired Cpl. Leslie Reyes to enlist in the Marine Corps and on Wednesday, she got to hear five World War II veterans tell their stories in person.
Hugh Aderholt, Russell Bond, Bill Bass, Raoul Gagnon and Paul Tollefsrud spoke to Marines at the Single Marine Program Center aboard New River Air Station for nearly an hour before accepting questions from the crowd of more than 100 gathered. The presentation was a professional military education event aimed to share their experiences in the European and Pacific Theaters with today's military.
Aderholt served in the Army and was a German prisoner of war for nearly 15 months after traveling from infantry training to North Africa to Naples, Italy.
He told the Marines about the battle of Monte Cassino, during which he and five others entered a house to search it and a tank fired two main gun rounds through the wall. The artillery shells, he said, "came in like rain" and even the Germans couldn't get them out.
During his time as POW, he was forced to sleep in a shed full of hay and then he was moved to a prison camp outside of Florence. He stayed in many different camps and walked across Germany into Holland, he told the troops.
But when the American bombers flew above one of the camps, he remembers yelling at them to "give them hell boys"
"The Germans got mad, thought they were going to shoot us," he said.
Bond told the troops about his 33 top secret combat flight missions over Europe with the Office of Strategic Service as a Carpetbagger, flights he wasn't able to talk about for more than 40 years they were so top secret.
"When we would take off on a mission, we were told just what we needed to know to complete our operation, nothing more than that," Bond said.
He and his eight brothers fought in World War II.
"None of us ever spoke as to what we did during World War II," he said, explaining that he could not talk about it. "... My wife, my children they didn't know what I did in the service."
Bond said his family thought he participated in heavy bombardment missions until 1987 when they traveled to England to visit an old air field.
Tollefsrud served three years in the Marine Corps during World War II, signing up after joining a friend on his way to enlist.
The friend he enlisted with, Jack Peterson, died in Guadalcanal in November 1942, Tollesfrud told the Marines.
Tollefsrud said that his first flight as a divebomber was on his second day in Atlantic. The captain, he said, gave him a paper bag in case he "lost his cookies."
After practicing a dive bomb from 5,000 feet "I said. 'What the hell have they got me into?'," he remembered.
He spent nearly a year in and around Midway picking up and circling submarines.
Bass is an Air Corps veteran who was drafted in 1943 at age 23.
He shared stories of two missions as a tail gunner during which things went wrong — one was a crash landing while the other was getting shot down while on a mission and parachuting into a tree.
"If we flew 35 missions we got to come home," he said. "...Those last ones can be mighty rough."
Gagnon spent 32 years in the Marine Corps and served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
"That gave me a score of three. I quit. I retired," he told the group.
Gagnon said he couldn't remember everywhere he'd gone and all he had done.
"Stick around and you'll see the same," he said.
However, he did remember going on a mission with two five-man teams. Team A was killed right in front of him.
The questions the Marines asked the men ranged from what they think of today's military to if World War II movies depict the war accurately.
Aderholt said the movies show "a bunch of hooey."
The Marines also asked the men what tools were available to help them transition from life as a warrior to life as a civilian.
"When I got back we got a job and from that point on, we didn't talk about World War II," Bond said.
The questions lasted nearly as long as the 50-minute presentation.
Reyes said that listening to the men speak was "a rush" after growing up watching military movies.
"Knowing these people are real, it inspires you. It inspired me to come into the Marine Corps," she said.
Lance Cpl. Rudy Solomon said the presentation was very informative.
"I learned a lot about Marine Corps history that I did not know before. There was a lot of good insight in having someone who lived the history come back and share it with us," he said.
He said he decided to attend the event because "you never get a moment like this."
"I didn't know if I'd get another so I came out," he said.
If there's a chance to do so in the future, Reyes recommends others attend events such as this.
"It's a constant reminder of why we joined, the actions of the eras before," she said.
The five men were selected after being featured in The Daily News in a series on World War II veterans written by military reporter Thomas Brennan who also spoke at the event.

Comments about Blackburn Flea 2.0 Front w/ Solar Light:
I use my Flea for commuting to and from work. The light works best, in my opinion, on bright. The 40 Lumen is good for riding home on streets, but I would not recommend trail riding. The multiple settings are a nice addition. However, just like the Flea rear light, the Velcro strap could wear out quickly. However, this light does have the option of being helmet mounted with a kit. The solar recharge panel is very handy.

Tom Wittman's home might rest atop a hill outside the hustle and bustle of the city on Paseo Laguna, but he said he and his wife are at the mercy of the train horns below. Every night, freight trains blast their horns and the sound billows up from the valley, amplified by what he calls an "amphitheater effect."
"It's an incredible nightmare we live with daily," Wittman said. "Had I known this was going to be like this, I would have never moved here. ... These aren't cute little train whistles. There are things that have changed that have caused us to be irate."
Wittman said he's angry because rail-crossing improvements have been made that could silence many of the horns – including a few that he's lost sleep over – but San Juan Capistrano hasn't yet formally applied for "quiet zone" status, meaning trains continue to sound their horns as they reach crossings.
Federal changes to train horn warnings went into effect in 2005, which included requiring four blasts of the horn in a specific pattern. Wittman said that's when the noise became much more audible. But the rule also established a path for cities to apply for quiet zones, meaning certain crossings wouldn't have to blow the horn usually required under state and federal law.
As a result, many Orange County cities have managed to quiet trains in cooperation with the Orange County Transportation Authority. The authority, as part of an $85 million rail safety enhancement plan, has built the necessary infrastructure in eight cities to apply for quiet zone status, including San Juan Capistrano. Participating cities have contributed 12 percent of the project's cost.
Improvements made through the program included upgraded warning devices, additional gate arms, extended and raised medians, improved signage and coordinated traffic signals.
Many crossings in Anaheim, Irvine, Orange, San Clemente, Santa Ana and Tustin have been silenced, and recent applicant Dana Point awaits a new quiet zone effective Feb. 14.
Of the 63 crossings in Orange County that field daily freight, commuter and passenger rail traffic, the authority has improved or plans to improve 57, said spokesman Joel Zlotnik. Of those crossings, 37 have been quieted through the authority program, with the Dana Point crossing soon bringing the total to 38.
Why hasn't San Juan Capistrano added its five stops to the list, more than a year after the project finished?
The city's insurer, which also insures Dana Point and San Clemente, previously excluded quiet zones from coverage. But after years of discussion, the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority was to include quiet zones as of last week, said Tom Bokosky, the city's human-resources manager.
Bokosky said it took some convincing by the three cities to get the necessary coverage.
"When the whole idea of quiet zones came about, it was a new idea, a new concept, and when the insurance pool learned of it and they made a decision to specifically exclude anything related to a quiet zone from coverage," Bokosky said. "I think it was because it was new, there wasn't any loss data on it, and it was really out of a fear of the unknown more than anything else."
Insurance Authority Chief Executive Jonathan Shull explained how previously the agency had concerns with some wording in contracts between the transportation authority, rail authority and cities.
"Those issues have been resolved, and for a couple of situations we needed to get some insurance in place in order to provide some coverage and we've been able to do that now," Shull said. "So we're excited for the cities that the quiet zones can move forward."
But Wittman fears the pursuit of a quiet zone could be forgotten amid other city work. The issue was not on the council agenda for this week's meeting, and Wittman fears it might never be.

U.S. Senator Charles Schumer says too many trucks are crashing into bridge overpasses, especially in Western New York. Schumer appeared in Buffalo last week and brought the media to the CSX Railroad overpass at William and Metcalfe. That bridge, he said, has been struck by trucks 32 times in the past few years. The bridge, built in 1926, has just a 12-foot clearance. Schumer is calling on the U.S. Department of Transportation to conduct an investigation. He wants national standards to be issued in the use of GPS units in commercial trucks... and we sincerely hope the U.S. DOT is paying attention. WBFO's Eileen Buckley reported that many professional trucking companies equip their vehicles with commercial...

Importing Vehicles and Engines into the U.S.
Importing Canadian Vehicles
Canadian vehicles are certified to Canadian requirements and originally manufactured for sale in Canada, regardless of the country in which they were produced. While many are manufactured to be identical to U.S. certified vehicles with respect to emission requirements (especially beginning with the 1988 model year), they may be manufactured with or without a U.S. emissions compliance label identifying them as conforming to U.S. EPA requirements. Canadian vehicles imported into the U.S. are categorized as either identical to U.S. version vehicles or not identical to U.S. version vehicles with regard to emission requirements.
Importers need to verify whether the Canadian vehicle they are importing is identical to a U.S. certified version. For model year 2002 and beyond, the majority of Canadian vehicles are acceptable for importation into the U.S. without modification. There may be specific models that are Canadian-only packages that are not eligible for importation into the U.S. Any questions about Canadian-only models will be treated on a case-by-case basis. (Refer to options 2 and 3 below).
A Canadian vehicle is identical to a U.S. certified version if one of the following is true:
1. The Canadian vehicle is on the EPA list of vehicles considered to be identical to U.S. version vehicles. This list is only for 2001 and earlier model year Canadian motor vehicles. For 2002 and later model year Canadian motor vehicles, refer to option 3. Detailed information for each year follows:
2.The Canadian vehicle has an emission label stating it is certified to U.S. EPA Federal emission standards.
3.The manufacturer's U.S. representative has provided a letter of compliance that states the vehicle complies with all U.S. EPA Federal regulations. Generally, EPA only accepts compliance information from the Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) U.S. representative. However, as an exception to this rule, statements of conformity from the OEM Canadian representative will be acceptable to EPA as evidence of conformity. U.S. Customs and Boarder Protection (CBP) may request the importer to submit a letter of compliance from the manufacturer, even if the vehicle is determined by EPA to be identical to a U.S. certified version by one of the two options above. You will also needto contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for their import regulations.
If the Canadian vehicle is not identical to a U.S. certified version, please refer to section 220.127.116.11, "Canadian Vehicles Not Identical to U.S. Version Vehicles", and section 2.1.3, "Non-U.S. Version Vehicles", in the Procedures for Importing Vehicles and Engines manual.

Cheers rose above Orange County – from Disneyland, from Huntington Beach and from thousands of points between – as the region paused Friday to salute the space shuttle Endeavour during its farewell flight before it retires to become a museum showpiece.
The shuttle, ferried atop a specially equipped jumbo jet, entered Orange County about 12:30 p.m. Friday, on the final leg of a journey that began Wednesday in Florida and ended with a 12:51 p.m. touchdown at Los Angeles International Airport.
The youngest of NASA's shuttle fleet, Endeavour is the second-to-last to make a final trip and the last one that will do it by air.
"It's history. We may never see something like again," said Floyd Ramey, 52, of Riverside, who joined about 5,000 others watching from Disney California Adventure's Paradise Pier area. "It was worth the drive and the wait."
Graphic: Journey to California Science Center
Watch a video of the shuttle flying over the Disneyland Resort.
The California Adventure crowd cheered and hundreds of cameras and phones snapped pictures and shot video.
"It was exciting to have all of these people cheering around me," said Samir Belani of Fullerton, 28.
The shuttle arrived in California on Thursday after spending the night in Houston and making flyovers along the way. It spent Thursday night at Edwards Air Force Base before taking off at 8:17 a.m. Friday, touring first Lancaster and Palmdale before heading to Northern California to fly over the Capitol and San Francisco.
Along the way, it has made low, sweeping flyovers above significant aerospace sites, museums and aquariums, and cultural icons.
In Orange County, it buzzed Disneyland and California Adventure, heading east over the Little Mermaid ride. The parks are a no-fly zone, and Disney officials said this was the first time such a flyover has been allowed.
"How often do you see a rocket land?" asked Marcus McNabb, 31, of Cerritos, who watched from the Downtown Disney parking lot. "To be in one of the few places where it flew by was pretty cool, especially being a member of the military."
Nearby, more than 600 students from Anaheim's Stoddard Elementary School ran screaming across the school blacktop Friday as they jostled for a better view of the Endeavour as it soared by almost directly overhead.
It passed within a few hundred yards of the school, just a stone's throw from Disneyland.

A neck sprain is stretching or tearing of the ligaments of the neck. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that cross joints and connect bones to each other. They help stabilize joints, including the neck.
Ligaments normally stretch as the joints move. A sprain is caused by a force that makes a ligament stretch farther than it should. The force is usually the result of an accident or trauma. Some forces can cause tears in the ligament tissue.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of getting a neck sprain include:
- Being in a car accident
- Assaults with a blow to the head
- Sporting events that include full contact at high velocity
- Hard fall
- Occupations that put you at risk for severe falls or car accidents
Neck sprain may cause:
- Neck pain that gets worse with movement, especially in the back of the neck
- Shoulder pain and muscle spasms
- Tingling sensations or weakness in the arms
- Headache, especially in the back of the head
- Difficulty sleeping
- Fatigue
- Trouble concentrating
- Irritability
- Stiffness and difficulty moving the head in one or more direction
The doctor will ask about your symptoms, medical history, and how you injured your neck. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will check the stability of your neck and look for any nerve damage.
Images of bones and soft tissue may be needed to look for other potential injuries such as dislocated spinal discs or fractures. The doctor may also need to rule out other causes of neck pain such as arthritis or disc disease. Imaging tests may include:
Neck sprains are graded according to the amount of injury:
- Grade 1—Some stretching with micro-tearing of ligaments.
- Grade 2—Partial tearing of ligaments.
- Grade 3—Complete tearing of ligaments.
Treatment includes:
Acute Care
Your neck will need time to heal but strict rest is rarely necessary. For most, you should continue to move your neck as long as it does not increase pain. Go about your normal activities as much as you can tolerate.
Ice may help decrease swelling and pain in the first few days after the injury. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin to avoid injuring your skin.
After a couple of days heat may help loosen tight or injured muscles. Wait for swelling to go away before using heat therapy.
Medication can help to relieve discomfort and swelling. Medications may include:
- Over-the-counter pain medication, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen
- Topical pain medication—creams or patches that are applied to the skin
- Prescription pain relievers
- Muscle relaxants
Note: Aspirin is not recommended for children with a current or recent viral infection. Check with your doctor before giving your child aspirin.
Therapy may be needed for severe sprains. Some therapeutic methods include:
- Cervical traction—a special technique to stretch the neck and reduce muscle spasm
- Physical therapy—restores flexibility, range of motion , and strength in your neck
Neck sprain is often the cause of an accident. To help reduce your chance of a neck sprain:
- Drive carefully to avoid car accidents.
- Wear your seat/shoulder belt.
- Wear proper equipment and use proper technique when playing sports.
