What you need to know: Considering it was a year of
transition, the offense didn't do too poorly. It didn't get any
help from the defense, and there were too many turnovers, but
the spread worked. Adam Weber all but shut down any quarterback
controversy with a strong spring, but he'll need help. The line
will be decent, as it always is at Minnesota, but it'll need
time to jell. Eric Decker is an All-Big Ten caliber receiver,
and Jack Simmons, if he can stay healthy, has tremendous
potential at tight end, but the No. 2 receiver is a huge
question mark with a few true freshmen needing to produce. RBs
Duane Bennett and Jay Thomas are extremely quick, but Thomas is
coming off a torn ACL.
Passing: Adam Weber
258-449, 2,895 yds, 24 TD, 19 INT
Rushing: Adam Weber
146 carries, 617 yds, 5 TD
Receiving: Eric Decker
67 catches, 909 yds, 9 TD
Star of the offense: Sophomore QB Adam Weber
Player who has to step up and become a star: Junior OT
Jason Meinke
Unsung star on the rise: Freshman WR Brandon Green
Best pro prospect: Sophomore OT Dominic Alford
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Weber, 2) WR Eric
Decker, 3) Alford
Strength of the offense: Quarterback, quick running backs
Weakness of the offense: Proven No. 2 receiver, offensive
line certainty
Projected Starter: All 6-3, 220-pound
sophomore Adam Weber did was carry the Gopher offense as
one of the nation's best all-around quarterbacks. Not only did
he complete 58% of his passes for 2,895 yards with 24
touchdowns, but he led the team in rushing with 617 yards and
five touchdowns. Even so, because he had a consistent problem
with interceptions, throwing 19 of them going just one game
without throwing one, and because the coaching staff is looking
for dynamic playmakers, the quarterback job was considered open
going into the off-season. Weber might have slammed it shut
after becoming more of a leader, a more fundamentally sound
passer, and after bulking up to be able to handle more of the
workload. He's a big, strong spread quarterback who should only
be better now that he's considered the main man for the attack.
Projected Top Reserves: Weber might be the leader
of the offense and a great spread quarterback, but true freshman
MarQueis "O.J." Gray is the star-in-waiting. Considered
by every recruiting service to be among the top spread prospects
in this year's recruiting class, the 6-4, 215-pounder has speed,
an accurate passing arm, and toughness. While a few schools
soured on the Elite 11 Quarterback camper after he suffered a
broken arm and missed most of his senior year, he was still a
tremendous coup for the Gopher coaching staff.
While Gray is considered the team's quarterback of the future,
JUCO transfer David Pittman came to Minnesota to
challenge for a job right now. arguably the team's most biggest
recruit this year, he's only 5-11 and 185 pounds, but he's a
phenomenal passer, throwing for 6,346 yards and 61 touchdowns at
Pasadena City College, and is a good runner with a team-leading
572 yards and six touchdowns last season. A great athlete,
there's a chance he could move to another position just to get
him on the field somewhere.
Watch Out For ... Weber to be even better. It's not
like he was bad last year, he was third in the Big Ten in total
offense, but he didn't quite make the team his. Now he's
expected to be more vocal, more of a leader, and most
importantly, more productive. After a year of taking his lumps,
he should be more efficient.
Strength: Big-time spread quarterbacks. Tim
Brewster is known as a recruiter, and he has three fantastic
quarterback options sold on the idea of being the main man for
the Gopher attack. Any one of the three could be the starter on
opening day and the offense would put up nice numbers.
Weakness: Weber's interceptions. Yeah, he was great this spring,
but if he starts throwing picks early on, and if the team isn't
winning, it could be a pressure-packed situation to get Gray or
Pittman in there.
Outlook: In a perfect world, Weber solidifies
himself as the starter for the next three years and continues to
be a key runner, Pittman becomes happy with the No. 2 job and
steps in if and when Weber gets nicked, and Gray is able to
redshirt and then becomes a scary-good option to use now and
then for a few years before he becomes the starter in 2011. In
reality, Gray could play right away, but Weber might make it
hard for anyone to have a shot at the starting gig.
Rating: 8
Running Backs
Projected Starters: The Gophers want to
return to the days of the 1,000-yard running back, and it's
hoping for sophomore Duane Bennett to be the man. The
5-9, 195-pounderfinished third on the team with 442 yards and
three touchdowns, and caught 18 passes for 145 yards and a
score, but he didn't take over and become the main option until
the final four games of the year. While he was held in check
late, he ran for 106 yards against Michigan. A quick, tough
runner, he'll be used inside and out.
Projected Top Reserves: While Bennett will get the
bulk of the work, junior Jay Thomas will see his share of
time if he can prove he still has the type of next-level speed
that made him such a dangerous prospect. While the 6-0,
195-pound star high school sprinter has speed, he also has two
bad knees with ACL injuries to both of them. He ran for 215
yards and a touchdown last year and caught seven passes for 81
yards, but he still needs to heal up after getting hurt late in
the year.
True freshman Kevin Whaley was expected to play a big
role until Thomas is 100%, but that might have to wait as he has
to get his leg healthy after being shot outside a nightclub in
March. The 5-9, 180-pounder is the type of talent the program
hasn't had for a few years, and while he might not be a Marion
Barber or a Laurence Maroney, he has next-level quickness and a
great high school résumé rushing for 6,301 yards and 85
touchdowns in Virginia.
Watch Out For ... The new guys. Whaley is the star
back in the recruiting class, but Terrell Combs is a
250-pound load who gives the offense something different, if he
doesn't move to linebacker right away, and Shady Salamon
is a speedster who fits the attack.
Strength: Quick backs. Brewster knows how to use
smallish, quick backs, and he has them. Bennett, Thomas and
Whaley all fit a type of one-cut speed-back who can fire through
a hole.
Weakness: Power. There isn't any. The Gophers don't use a true
fullback anymore, and unless Combs plays on offense, there isn't
a pure between-the-tackles pounder to rely on when a hard yard
is needed. The offense might have to rely on Adam Weber for
Outlook: There's great potential for someone to
quickly emerge as a major producer, but the line has to provide
a bit more help than it did last year and there has to be more
carries for the backs. The offense relies on the quarterback to
crank out rushing yards, but there might be too much speed and
quickness here to ignore.
Rating: 6.5
Projected Starters: Junior Eric Decker led the
team in receiving with 67 catches for 909 yards and nine
touchdowns, averaging 13.6 yards per catch, and while he was
consistent, and he had a monster early game with 12 grabs for
165 yards and a touchdown against Florida Atlantic, the big
performance came at the end when he gave Wisconsin fits with six
catches for 125 yards and a score. While he's not necessarily a
field stretcher, he can make the deep play and he catches
everything. He even threw a 20-yard touchdown pass against North
Dakota State and is a star on the baseball team. At 6-2 and 215
pounds, he's solid.
Taking over Ernie Wheelwright's old job will be a key question
mark. The most experienced option is Ralph Spry, a 5-11,
175-pound sophomore who finished third on the team with 23
catches for 226 yards and three touchdowns. He turned into a
nice starter as his true freshman season went on, and now he has
to shine as a No. 2 option.
With starter Tray Herndon off
the team, it might be up to true freshman Brandon Green
to find a role when he first gets to campus. The 6-0, 180-pound
true freshman is the team's most athletic receiver with the
all-around skills to be used as a runner, receiver, and as a
kick returner. He won't have the luxury of easing into a job;
the team needs him now after scoring 22 touchdowns his senior
year, and throwing for four others.
Senior Jack Simmons is a
great tight end talent with 6-4, 240-pound size, good hands, and
great route running ability, but he has to get healthy after
having problems with an injured foot. He caught 20 passes for
202 yards last year, but he didn't get into the end zone and he
didn't grow into the go-to, bail-out weapon he was supposed to
because of the foot.
Projected Top Reserves: 6-0, 170-pound redshirt
freshman Damien White is a quick, darting target who goes
from being able to work his way into a role to becoming a key
reserve. He's the type of player who could make big things
happen with the ball in his hands on the move, but he'll have to
establish himself early on with the true freshmen coming in.
The big question for true
freshman Vince Hill will be where to put him. One of the
team's fastest players, he could be a deep threat at an outside
position, he could be used as a running back from time to time,
and he could end up moving to defensive back if needed. He's a
wide receiver, and he'll get a chance to see the field early on.
Considering the foot problems of Jack Simmons, 6-4, 230-pound
sophomore Collin McGarry will have to be ready to step in
at any time. He didn't make a catch last year, but he saw a
little bit of time and was a nice recruit for the program last
year. He's more of a receiver than a blocker.
Watch Out For ... the new guys. Decker is the
established No. 1, but Green and Hill might be the highlight
reel stars if they can use their speed to make plays right away.
Strength: Speed. The coaching staff seriously
upgraded the overall athleticism and deep speed of the corps
over the last few years, and while it'll take a while for
everyone to get their feet wet, at the very least, the young
guys can be told to get on the outside and go long.
Weakness: The No. 2. Decker will be the focus of every defensive
gameplan for opposing secondaries. Wheelwright was a great
sidekick catching 66 passes for 775 yards and nine touchdowns.
Now the one to help Decker out will be ... ? It might take a few
games to figure that out.
Outlook: On a team full of uncertainty and new
blood pumping in at key spots, the receiving corps is the
biggest X factor. Decker is on the verge of All-Big Ten stardom
if he gets a little bit of help. One of the very fast, but very
young new options has to come through right away and become
reliable. That's asking a lot of a freshman or another player
thrown to the wolves. Simmons has to get healthy and live up to
his potential as a top receiving tight end.
Rating: 6.5
Offensive Linemen
Projected Starters: The biggest key for the line will be who'll
replace Tony Brinkhaus at center. He made the move from guard to the
middle, and now junior Jeff Tow-Arnett appears ready to do the
same. The 6-2, 275-pounder stepped in at left guard for three starts
over the second half of the year, and while the former walk-on wasn't
dominant, he was fine. If he ends up in the middle, he'll have to prove
he can hold up for a full season.
The other big opening is at left tackle where Steve Shidell is gone
after starting every game. 6-3, 315-pound sophomore Dominic Alford
will take over the spot after starting the last fie games of last year
at right tackle. A big blocker who was surprisingly strong in pass
protection early on in his career, he'll be a fixture up front for the
next three years.
Needing to stay healthy for a full season is 6-2, 280-pound sophomore
D. J. Burris, one of the team's strongest players and one of the
most versatile able to play center or guard. He fought through injuries
to start every game but one, and he quickly turned into one of the
team's bright young blockers. He'll be an All-Big Ten performer before
he's through.
6-5, 270-pound Jason Meinke needs to go from being a little used
walk-on to a starter at right tackle. He saw get three games of work
over his first two seasons, and while he's a decent athlete, the
spotlight will be on as he'll be in a battle throughout the early part
of the fall to keep the spot.
6-5, 300-pound Otis Hudson played the early part of last year on
the defensive side making two tackles in four games, and while he'll
have to fight for a starting job, he has looked like a natural at times
at right guard. He's physical and can move well.
Projected Top Reserves: Somewhere will be 6-2,
320-pound junior Nedward Tavale, a starter for most of last
season at left guard. While he doesn't quite fit the type of lineman the
team uses, he's more of a pounder than a quick blocker who gets on the
move, he's a big body to run behind.
One of the most experienced backup is 6-5, 275-pound junior Ryan
Rickdashel, the starter in the season opener, and a spot starter at
both guard positions, he's a sound run blocker who can fill in without a
problem. He'll start out on the left side behind Burris.
Pushing for time at right tackle will be 6-3, 305-pound redshirt
freshman Chris Bunders, a guard prospect coming out of high
school, and a good one, he'll be moved outside to use his bulk as a run
blocker. He could eventually find a home as a No. 2 guard at either
Battling Tow-Arnett for the center job is 6-2, 275-pound
redshirt freshman Trey Davis, a great recruit for the
program who had several offers to go to big places but chose to
stay home. A physical blocker, he could be used at guard if
Watch Out For ... a lot of shifting around. A lot.
The line was fine last year, and it will be again, but it might
take every practice to figure out the exact right combination.
Strength: Quickness. Tim Brewster wants to keep
the current Minnesota trend of going with light, quick linemen
who can move in a hurry. Even though he has some more bulk up
front now, the big guys, like Alford, can move.
Weakness: Figuring it all out. The depth is coming around, but
there are still some holes to make sure are filled among the
starters. With Burris and Alford moving sides, and with the
center job still up in the air, there's some work to do to come
up with some continuity.
Outlook: Don't blame the line for last year's
problems. Helped by a mobile quarterback in Adam Weber,
Minnesota finished first in the Big Ten in sacks allowed for the
second year in a row, and was good for the running game. While
there's a whole bunch of uncertainty with Shidell and Brinkhaus
needing to be replaced after being the only two players to start
every game, the new options and prospects fit. The offense tends
to make the linemen better than they are. Minnesota has been
great at that over the last several years.

Public transport services were hit while banking services were partially affected in Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh in the wake of the nationwide strike call given by major trade unions to protest price rise and labour laws among other issues.
Despite issuing strict warning to enforce "No Work No Pay" by authorities against the strike, many employees affiliated to trade unions like CITU and AITUC, abstained from their duties.
Transport department here has suspended inter-state bus services as its employees are observing strike.
"About 50 per cent of buses are not plying on roads.
There has been a suspension of inter-state bus services," UT Transport, Director, ML Sharma told PTI here.
Bus services were also affected with only 40 per cent of total fleet of buses plied on the road in Punjab.
Though Haryana transport department claimed the bus services were normal, Haryana roadways Workers Union said that 90 per cent of buses remained off road due to strike.
"3000 buses out of total fleet of 3200 buses are not plying," Union President, Baldev Ghanghas said.
The strike also cast its shadow on banking service with employees in several public sector banks remaining on strike.
"Employees in all the public sector banks except State Bank of India are on strike," said Naresh Gaur, president Punjab Bank Employees Federation.

San Quentin State Prison (SQ)
San Quentin State Prison - Mission Statement
San Quentin State Prison is Californias oldest and best known correctional institution, which was established on the site currently known as Point San Quentin, in July of 1852, as an answer to the rampant lawlessness in California at the time. During its construction, inmates slept on the prison ship, the Waban, at night and labored to build the new prison during the day. San Quentin housed both male and female inmates until 1933 when the womens prison at Tehachapi was built. The prison rests overlooking the bay on 432 acres, and is located just 12 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge in the county of Marin. The walled prison is made up of four (4) large cell blocks (West, South, North, and East Block), one (1) maximum security cell block (the Adjustment Center), Central Health Care Service Building, a medium security dorm setting and a minimum security firehouse. The state's only gas chamber and death row for all male condemned inmates are located at San Quentin.

If they are interested in the details the media does a great job of illustrating and explaining what is going on in the race. At least there is the spectacle of speed to keep the average viewer watching, which is more than the old monohulls did. With those boats there was nothing to appeal to anyone but sailors. Even I found them a bit boring. If it wasn't for my interest in the boat handling and tactics I would never have watched them.
What I would like to see is a fleet race with those beasts! Now THAT would be exciting!
I think the AC like it or not has absolutely gotten the attention of some non-sailors. I've had lots of non-sailors ask me if I'd seen those "big sailboats" racing on TV as soon as they learned I sailed. These folks didn't know anything about sailing but those boats and that racing format caught their attention and interest.
That can't be all bad, even if it has as much to do with the kind of sailing I do as a moon walk.

Q&A: Ellen Ullman
Elissa Goldstein sits with the author of our latest original fiction
Ellen Ullman does not have the typical pedigree of a fiction writer. She began her working life as a computer programmer in the late seventies, and her first book, Close to the Machine (1997), is a memoir and meditation on her experiences as a tech geek in the burgeoning days of Silicon Valley. In that world, Ullman was something of an anomaly: a woman with a BA in English, literarily and philosophically inclined.
But as an outsider and observer of mechanics—both technological and interpersonal—Ullman makes for the ideal novelist. The building blocks of fiction are not dissimilar to the building blocks of code: Each sentence is dependent on the success of the one that precedes it, and even the smallest error can break the dream of the invented world. In Ullman's first novel, The Bug (2003), a programmer's life is thrown into chaos as result of an elusive "bug" that inexplicably appears and then disappears from a line of code.
Her second novel turns away from the world of computers, but stays close to the tense, psychological mood cultivated in The Bug. Set in San Francisco in the 1970s, By Blood (2012) is an eerie, neo-Gothic thriller about identity, sexuality, and family. A disgraced professor eavesdrops on a woman's therapy sessions, which happen in the office next to his. He becomes obsessed with "the patient" to the point of interfering with her search for her birth parents. It emerges that the woman's parents were French Jews who entrusted her to a Catholic monastery as they were fleeing the Nazis. How she came to be adopted by an American family—despite the fact that her birth mother survived the war—is the question behind "Fathers," the latest installment in Tablet's Original Fiction series. In this story, Ullman's language is as precise and seductive as ever: "glaring white" shirt-cuffs are pierced with "links made of gold"; a flung-off cape "pirouettes" over the back of a chair; a grief-stricken mother holds out her arms, "curled as if still holding her baby."
Tablet Magazine spoke with Ullman last week about the process of writing "Fathers," exploring identity in fiction, and the challenges of portraying anti-Semitic characters with depth and sympathy. What follows is an edited transcript of our interview.
How is your story "Fathers" connected to your 2012 novel By Blood? They are quite different in setting.
'Fathers' is part of the exposition of the novel. I wrote it as an exploration into one of the characters, Joseph, who I thought was not a very admirable person. He went with his father to Germany to save this girl—the "patient" in By Blood—who had been entrusted to a monastery when her parents were fleeing the German invasion of France. This happened to many Jewish families at the beginning of the Holocaust. They left their children in keeping with a monastery hoping that if they survived, they would be able to come back and claim them. Some did come back, and found out that the church had baptized their children. Once a child is baptized the church refuses to return the child to the parent. The young woman By Blood finds out that she was adopted out of a Displaced Persons camp. I wanted to follow her adopted father and grandfather who were fundamentalist Catholics. Writing this story was a great challenge for character exploration, to turn it into a more complete narrative. By Blood is very much about mothers and relationships. And I thought, 'Well, this is the story about fathers.'
Your portrayal of Joseph's anti-Semitism is intriguing, and almost quaint. He has a fairy-tale like fear of Jews as horned creatures; he's shocked that they're able to disguise themselves as "normal" people in the general population. I was surprised to find myself feeling quite sympathetic toward him.
I feel the best villains are the ones you have feelings for. Not that he's a villain. My husband's college roommate was shocked that my husband didn't have horns. He always thought Jews had horns. He led such a sheltered life within a Christian community, and actually didn't know any Jews in Southern Illinois, which is the same area Joseph and his father are from. It's the Bible belt. So I did feel sympathetic toward Joseph, because I felt he was totally unprepared for the experience. I didn't mean to make the anti-Semitism pleasant, I wanted to explore a character who is brought up anti-Semitic, and then has to come to terms with it. It's a story about how you can learn anti-Semitism. Also, Joseph's father doesn't know the world either. What he knows about Jews is what returning American soldiers told him.
The evil in this story is casual, there is a complete lack of empathy in the way the characters collaborate to take the child from her mother.
I really don't like books when characters are just bad, or just good. I'm not going to claim there was any good in Hitler, but as a writer I feel I have to understand what is in the "average" evil person. No one is simply awful. There are complicated, psychological reasons for why we behave the way we do. I'm not excusing anything, this is just my perspective as a writer. It's the necessity of understanding a character with as much dimensionality as I can bring to the page. Originally, I didn't want the mother to be seen in the story, but my editor Sean McDonald said it was important to see her. That to me is the moment where you see the harm in breaking the bond between mother and child.
Do you define yourself as a Jewish writer? Would you say this story is a Jewish story?
I don't consider myself a Jewish writer. It's like asking, 'Are you a woman writer?' I'm a dark thoughts writer. I'm very influenced by the Victorians, Poe, Mary Shelley, so I guess I have a gothic imagination. Though I've written about technology and what it means socially and in interpersonal relationships, I thought there was more to explore of my Jewishness, and the fact that I was adopted. It was very hard for me to think, what would being religious on the other side be like? That was something I had to grapple with.
I felt that the experience of being Jewish right after the war really needed exploring. I read an article in the New York Times about a group of children who were born in the Bergen Belsen Displaced Person's camp after the war. I had that clipping on my wall as I writing, and also I knew someone whose parents were married in a DP camp. Jews were "liberated" from the camps, with all that word seems to imply, but between the end of the war and the founding of Israel is this huge ferment.
How is the process of fiction different than writing non-fiction, for you?
Essays are narratives, they're stories. They begin with an incident, I don't sit down thinking, 'I'm going to talk about this subject.' You walk down the street, and a thought develops and then it unfolds and it's both personal and generally informative. They're related, in that they're both narrative arts. Laura Miller [staff writer at Salon.com] says essays are a lot more intimate than fiction. There's a lot of stagecraft that goes into writing a novel. You have to move characters from A to B, you have to keep track of the exposition and continuity, like in a movie or a play.
The best histories have narrative drive; there are biographies that really penetrate a character. But fiction is made up. That's the first thing I had to understand. Once you leave the particulars of your own biography, you're making things up. And then the questions is, "Is this just tale-telling, which may be vapid?"
In By Blood the professor, who acts as narrator, came to my office one night—his voice did—and I wrote the first twenty pages in one sitting. I thought, 'Well this is crazy!' But there was something persistent in the darkness of this voice that felt very internal for me. I wrote fluently in his voice. You hear writers say 'the character took me over,' and I didn't think that was real. But this character and I inhabited each other.

Chargers Danario Alexander, happy, healthy and productive
It was a golden opportunity to resurrect a flailing professional career, and Alexander's glad he got it. He used the downtime between getting cut and signing with the Chargers to get fully healthy, and the time off has done him good.
He was able to quiet his aching hamstring and let his knee get some needed rest. He's showcasing his true talent, a chance he no longer takes for granted.
"I'm confident in my ability to play football at this level, and that was the driving force during all those rehab stints," Alexander said. "I always knew that I could compete if I could stay healthy long enough to prove myself."
Health was and will always be an issue. Reports out of St. Louis indicated that Alexander's knee is permanently damaged and will never be as stable and healthy as it once was. St. Louis trainers were quoted as saying he'd always have to deal with swelling in the knee, but Alexander believes he has a dependable routine for keeping the joint healthy and productive.
"There were some issues after my last surgery (in 2010)," Alexander said. "But I have been able to maintain it and keep it as healthy as it is now. I'm fine. I feel great. I'm so excited to be a Charger. They gave me a great opportunity, and I'll do anything I can to help this team win."

As we previously advised in the April 2013 issue of Epstein Becker Green's Take 5 Newsletter, on June 11, 2013, over Mayor Michael Bloomberg's veto, an amendment to the New York City Human Rights Law ("NYCHRL") becomes effective, prohibiting discrimination based upon an individual's unemployment. The District of Columbia, New Jersey, and Oregon maintain similar laws prohibiting discrimination based on an individual's employment status. New York City's law, however, is broader than these other laws, in that it permits applicants to file private court actions against employers or file complaints with the New York City Commission on Human Rights ("Commission"), whereas existing laws in other jurisdictions do not provide for such remedies.
Coverage -
The NYCHRL applies to employers, including employment agencies, with four or more employees (including independent contractors who are "natural persons" and not themselves employers).

From 5NewsOnline:
The caller said she saw Allen grabbing handfuls of make-up without looking at the color or labels. She didn't appear to be checking prices, either, the report states.
Clearly these are his mugshots that he's taking as a walking advertisement for Gillette Razor Blades.
The last guy who tried ended up snapped in half.
Chances are, if you wear that shirt you already have a problem.
Another victory for the fashion police.

'The Leviathan,' in Hebrew
Hobbes classic gets its first full Hebrew translation
As of last month, Israelis have access for the first time to a full translation of The Leviathan, by Thomas Hobbes. Earlier Hebrew editions "had quietly dropped anything Hobbes had to say about the Bible," says Yoram Hazony, the provost of the Shalem Center, which sponsored the translation. "For decades, Israelis read Hobbes without any inkling that he is, in a way, part of their own story."
The New York Times asked a few experts to weigh in on the implications of the new translation, which Hazony hopes will allow Israelis "to reconsider their place in the intellectual life of the West." One participant was Rebecca Goldstein, author of the Nextbook Press volume Betraying Spinoza; Goldstein couldn't help seeing a connection between that titular thinker and Hobbes: "Both were impressed by the enormous destructive capacity of religion. Both saw religion as coming from man's terror at his own mortality. The question was how to transform the state so as to stabilize the volatile religious impulse that—realists that they were—they knew could not be made to disappear." One wonders what Israelis might think of Goldstein's assessment that "Hobbes, like Spinoza, not only wants to wrest the interpretation of religious texts away from religious authorities, but to reveal those texts as undermining the very legitimacy of those authorities."

Eucerin moisturizing creme is great. My doctor recommended for this product. If you have rough feet and hands it'll help from drying your hands. I have very sensitive skin, and it keeps my skin soft, without irritation. Great product.
I originally bought this at my local Walgreens but haven't been able to find it. Glad I discovered OTC store and ordered 2 of them
Not only works on those red colored bruises that I bought it for, but also is fading age spots faster than all the other products I have tried. A bonus I didn't expect.
I can highly recommend this.
I love the product. I have been using this cream for years. It smells great and last a good while even after washing your hands, the lotion absorbs in your skin immediately. This is very good for extremely dry skin. This cream is fantastic and highly recommended.
I have major eczema and my doctor told me about Vanicream and I haven't used any thing else since. I move in Minnesota and the winters are very dry. Vanicream keeps my skin moist and feeling good.
My 1 yr old great grandson has severe atopic dermatitis that nothing has helped, even the cortisone creams, but his mother reports that this cream is the most effective thing yet for him. Works very well for any severe dry skin problem. Not greasy. No smell.

The Sydney-Hobart Storm - Such is the power of the Internet that my first column, a year ago, was an early analysis of the brutal storm that hit 115 boats racing off Australia on December 27, 1998, killing six sailors. That 1999 race was a landmark event in the long history of offshore sailing.
The last word is not yet in on that catastrophe and it may well prove to contain many fireworks. The final word will come in the coroner's report after his official inquest. A coroner in the British legal system has many of the broad powers of an American grand jury and can aggressively pursue many threads. Expected to appear by mid-2000, the report may well be more critical of race management and boat handling than the somewhat tame self-investigation by the organizer (the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia) and books written about the race.
The CYCA changed some rules for the 1999 race. Here are some of the new ones. They're worth serious consideration by anybody heading offshore:
At least half the crew must have extensive offshore experience
Experienced cruising sailors, libertarians by nature, may well complain that such rules - any rules - limit sailors' freedom to prepare their boats and themselves as they think fit. It is my long experience that before a race, safety preparations often are assigned a lower priority than racing preparations. If left entirely to their own devices, many racing sailors will prepare to go to sea by buying another jib instead of the best safety harnesses or EPIRB and will spend their spare time practicing spinnaker sets, not crewoverboard rescues. The competitive impulse is that strong.
So I'm not bothered by cautious racing safety regulations. Still, two of the new Hobart Race rules initially struck me as overly restrictive - the ones concerning age limits and satcom. On reflection, however, I could see how each does address important problems specific to this event. Apparently it has been fairly common to take adolescents on the race, and in 1998 some teenagers were in far over their heads. (By the way, there seems to be no maximum age limit; one skipper in the 1999 race was 84.)
Satcom allows boats to be tracked on a web site and permits crews to send and receive e-mail. While old shellbacks whose faith lies in self-sufficiency may not like it, this information does ease the fears of families ashore, including those still having nightmares about the 1998 Sydney-Hobart storm. Satcom affects a race in two other, less important ways. First, the constant flow of positions drives competitors to push themselves and their boats harder than they might if they did not know how the boats over the horizon were doing. And second, satcom feeds the great publicity machine that makes commercial sponsorship possible (which is a mixed blessing that must be kept under control and in perspective).
This Year's Brutal Sydney-Hobart - The fact that there were some 7,000,000 hits on the Sydney-Hobart web site (that's right - seven million) during the long, tough 1999 race suggests how valuable this information can be. This year's fleet, while suffering no casualties, still did not have it easy in one of the most difficult if not bizarre races I know about. Most of the 80 entries were blasted by two force 8-10 (34 to 55-knot) gales from opposite directions, one following on the heels of the other. In the end there were two races. In the first, speed records were broken. In the other, boats were pounded without mercy. In all, 31 boats (40% of the fleet) were forced to withdraw.
The initial gale, with its north wind pushing the boats on a rapid run from soon after the start, produced astonishing boat speeds. The first boat to finish, the Volvo 60 Nokia, averaged almost 15 knots to break the course record by 18 hours. Another 16 boats, including a 40-footer, also broke the record.
Then the wind died for a while, went into the south, and blew up into a second gale while the smaller boats were crossing Bass Strait, between southern Australia and the island of Tasmania, where the race finished. This second gale blew 40-55 knots right on the nose for five days. It banged into a strong current and kicked up steep seas that gave these unfortunate boats and crews a brutal battering. There were many injuries, and 12 sailors with broken bones or suffering from shock were taken off entries, At one point a dozen boats were anchored in sheltered bays on the Tasmanian coast and nearby islands waiting for conditions to moderate. Eight boats welcomed in the millennium at sea, still pounding into the gale, and the last two boats didn't finish until January 2, a week after the start.
American Developments - he Australian activities and rule changes have been watched closely by the Cruising Club of America, the sponsor of the Newport-Bermuda Race that will be sailed in June. The CCA has long had a (justified) reputation for its concern about safety and for not being timid about telling participants in its Bermuda Race what to do. This year the race's rules, already quite strict, have been tightened here and there. There will be regular reporting of positions that will be available to the public. On www.bermudarace.com you'll find the rigorous pre-race inspection check list plus some wise recommendations for use of safety gear. Again, any cruising sailor will benefit from a close study of these regulations and any rules for offshore races.

G418 is an aminoglycoside antibiotic similar in structure to gentamicin B1, produced by Micromonospora rhodorangea. G418 blocks polypeptide synthesis by inhibiting the elongation step in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Resistance to G418 is conferred by the Neomycin resistance gene (neo) from Tn5 encoding an aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferase, APH 3' II.
Selection in mammalian cells is usually achieved in three to seven days with concentrations ranging from 400 to 1000 µg/ml. Cells that are dividing are affected sooner than those that are not.
Product concentration: 100 mg/ml
Working concentration: 400 to 1000 µg/ml in mammalian cells
CAS number: 108321-42-2
Molecular weight: 692.7
Formula: C20H40N4O10. 2H2SO4
G418 Sulfate is supplied as a 100 mg/ml solution in H2O in different formats:
- 10 x 1 ml at 100 mg/ml (1 g)

China warns North Korea via 'diplomatic channels' against fourth nuclear test
Published on May 19, 2014 4:20 PM
BEIJING (REUTERS) - China has used various diplomatic channels to warn North Korea not to conduct a fourth nuclear test, multiple China-based diplomatic sources told Reuters, after the reclusive state renewed its threat of "counter-measures" against perceived US hostility.
North Korea, which regularly threatens the South and the United States with destruction, is already under heavy sanctions imposed by several UN resolutions beginning in 2006 but has defied pressure to abandon its missile and nuclear programmes. It last conducted a nuclear test in February 2013.
"China has told North Korea that there is no justification for a new nuclear test and that they should not do it," said a Western diplomat who was briefed by Chinese officials.
The sources said China had used diplomatic channels in Beijing and Pyongyang to convey its anxiety about the possibility of a fourth test to the North. China is North Korea's most important diplomatic and economic ally, though three nuclear tests and several rounds of sabre rattling have tested Beijing's support.

"Journalist on the move!!!!!" vickss's Profile
Sometimes I wonder how can ppl stay at the same place all their lives and be CONTENT....?Moving around meeting new ppl and testing different cuisines and natural beauty is what is important to break monotonicity of big cities...
Personally, I am a financial journalist based in Delhi- for those poor in Geography-located in India.
Travelling is a real passion for me and I remember when I was a kid I used to sit for hours wth my atlas locating places where I would like to go when I am old enough to do so on my own.
Anyway, till now I hv been to nine countries outside India.
This apart I have been travelling pretty often within India both as part of my work(and I squeeze out some time for personal travel) as also in a personal capacity.
To be fair I have been travelling more often to the northern region of India but also to some parts of south and west.
Unfortunately even though I belong to the eastern side of the country haven't had much of a chance to explore new places on that side..
Our newspaper has a travel supplement I have written some articles on the places I visited.
Hopefully I will upload all of them when i am free some day and can locate them in my computer.
Most of the places i have been outside has been part of official junkets for some corporate or industry event and usually I have stayed back for a day/ two/three(pockets empty) depending on my monetary position.
I would describe my country India as an eclectic mix of people and places having CHAOS THAT WORKS.
The best thing abt my country is the colour in life and the general zest.
Ok, to get back to the page- I have tried to present a first hand account of all places I have visited in my pages and even though mostly I have stayed at 5 stars - courtesy my corporate sponsors- as you might find if you check out the travel pages- the soul of the accounts and suggestions will have a backpackers insight.
Moreover, all pictures are first hand clicked either by my old Kodak point and shoot or my darling SLR- Nikon F55. So no cheating with pics.. Its all original!
Ciao and hope I will be useful in your travel plans and did I mention I will soon start writing my fiction novel---Haven't done yet. Its main character is a travel journalist!!!! Any surprises!!!!!
In the end just wanna say to you guys I would love to get some comments/brickbats on the page which would help me improve it and also pamper myself. If you wan't further info u can mail me, I would try my best to help you out. Bon Voyage!!

The Clergy
The year 2002 saw an explosion of scandals involving accusations of sexual abuse and cover-ups in the Roman Catholic Church in countries including Australia, Ireland, Poland, and the U.S. (See Sidebar.) The developments spurred resignations and expulsions of some prominent church leaders and led the pope to say in April that there was "no place in the priesthood and religious life for those who would harm the young." Five people were expelled from the Jehovah's Witnesses in the United States after they accused leaders of covering up the sexual abuse of children by members.
The Anglican diocese of New Westminster, B.C., stirred a storm in the worldwide Anglican Communion when it voted in June to permit the blessing of same-sex unions. The action led 13 of the nation's 41 Anglican bishops to ask the diocese not to implement the rite and spurred Archbishop Carey to tell the Anglican Consultative Council meeting in Hong Kong in September that unilateral actions by dioceses and bishops could lead to the formation of two or more distinct Anglican bodies. A majority of the 173 regional bodies of the Presbyterian Church (USA) defeated a move to rescind a five-year-old ban on noncelibate gay clergy. In June, Matthew J. Smucker became the first openly gay person to be ordained by the Church of the Brethren. His status was unclear, however, after the denomination's annual conference, meeting in July in Louisville, Ky., reaffirmed its stance against ordaining "any persons known to be engaging in homosexual practices."
In August the Vatican excommunicated seven women who claimed to have been ordained to the priesthood in June, saying their actions had "wounded" the Roman Catholic Church. The Southern Baptist Convention, reflecting a revision of its faith statement in 2000 to oppose the ordination of women, announced in February that it would no longer endorse ordained women's serving as chaplains. In Thailand Varanggana Vanavichayen, a Buddhist nun, was ordained as a monk in February, the first female to join that country's all-male clergy. She was ordained by a female monk from Sri Lanka, where women had been allowed in the clergy since 1998.
A revision of the New International Version of the Bible that replaced some masculine pronouns with gender-neutral language drew criticism from 100 Christian leaders and the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention. The Forum of Bible Agencies, made up of several leading translation and distribution organizations, said in a statement, however, that the revision, the Today's New International Version (TNIV) New Testament, "falls within the forum's translation principles and procedures." In another controversy among evangelical Christians, Wayne Pederson resigned as the new president of National Religious Broadcasters just before his installation in February. Glenn Plummer, chairman of the organization of 1,400 broadcasters, said Pederson had touched off a "firestorm" a few weeks earlier when he said that he was concerned that evangelicals "are identified politically more than theologically."
