On high schools with Stuart Duncan
28-5A title close for Carroll girls
Carroll High School can retain its District 28-5A volleyball championship with a victory over Moody today or with a win over King on Tuesday.
The Tigers (22-15 overall, 8-0 in district matches) have already clinched at least a share of the district crown and a playoff spot, as they have a two-match lead over the second-place Mustangs (22-9, 6-2).
King has also claimed at least a playoff spot. Victoria Memorial (24-12, 5-3) has a two-match lead on Ray (13-17, 3-5) for the final playoff berth from the district.
Flour Bluff (25-4, 11-0), meanwhile, is the District 31-4A champion, while Calallen (26-8, 9-2) and Gregory-Portland (14-14, 7-4) are the other two playoff teams from that district.
Beeville (18-13, 6-4) can claim a playoff spot from District 30-4A with a victory over San Antonio Southside (14-14, 2-9) today. Floresville (20-6, 11-0) is the District 30-4A champion.
The Class 4A bi-district playoffs start next week, while the Class 5A bi-district playoffs begin the following week.
Cross country
No. 1 Mustangs ready
The nationally ranked King High School boys cross country team will attempt to retain its District 28-5A title Saturday at West Guth Park. The Mustangs will run at 9:30 a.m. The girls varsity race is scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday.
Class 5A King - ranked No. 1 in the state - is No. 20 in The Harrier's Super 25 national cross country rankings this season.
"We never made the Top 25 (nationally) last year, so hopefully we'll be there when it counts," Mustangs coach Tom Castillo said. "The kids are really looking forward to doing well (at the district, regional and state meets this season)."
Band of brothers
Another Cavazos will be joining the high school ranks next season.
And Eric Cavazos is already proving he's well equipped to carry on the Cavazos' family tradition of fine golfers.
The Driscoll Middle School eighth grader, Cavazos, shot a 27 in nine holes at Gabe Lozano executive golf course recently to cause quite a stir locally.
Cavazos is the younger brother of Miller High School golfer Vince Cavazos, who was the first Bucs' boys golfer in 24 years to advance to the Region IV-5A golf tournament this past season as a freshman. Cavazos' other brother, Vance, is also a golfer at Miller.
Team Tennis
Carroll, King finish 1-2
With recent victories over Ray, the Carroll and King High School tennis teams claimed the top two spots in District 28-5A team tennis.
The Tigers - ranked
No. 18 in the state in Class
5A - earned their sixth straight district team tennis championship with a 17-2 victory over the Texans. Carroll finished district with a 5-0 record.
Meanwhile, King secured second place in the district with a 19-0 victory over Ray. The Mustangs finished district play at 4-1.
There will be no District 28-5A team tennis tournament this year. Thus, both Carroll and King move on to the Region IV-5A team tennis tournament, which will be Oct. 28-29 in Corpus Christi.

For some reason that pic reminded me of Warcraft II... So awkward.
Open-Source reimplementation of Westwood's Command & Conquer: Red Alert game engine, updated to use the hardware acceleration of modern video cards using OpenGL and OpenAL for sound playback. It runs natively on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The game was designed with modifiability in mind, but is not identical to the original. Campaigns and mods made for the legacy game won't work out of the box.
With our current releases being not that stable as they should have been, the current changes focus on stability. Well that does not detain us from adding more great features with unforeseen consequences... anyway have fun playtesting this.

You know what's funny about that? I believe it is/will be quite possible to re-create 'WarCraft 2' as an OpenRa mod... hmm... >_>
I love Red Alert, and i'm glad to see that there is a Open version more updated of This AWESOME game, and not the f.. sh... that EA games made in the RA III...
Good luck with the game, i hope that we can play it soon :D

Renaud Laplanche (FRA) and Ryan Breymaier (USA) team up for a brand new ocean racing and record breaking program starting in 2015 with the VPLP-designed 105ft maxi trimaran LENDING CLUB 2. Renaud and Ryan met for the first time racing on John Sangmeister's 77ft trimaran 'Tritium Racing', renamed "Lending Club" for the 2013 Transpac race to Hawaii where they won the race but missed the course record by just two hours. On discovering a common vision of sailing and ocean racing, discussions ensued between the two and before departing Hawaii, they both knew they would be back together for the long term.
Throughout 2014 they worked on putting together a program that would make 2015 a record-breaking year.
Ryan was tasked with sourcing a boat and with Renaud's support and advice they negotiated the charter of 105ft Banque Populaire VII (launched in 2006 as Groupama 3) from its new owner for the 2015 summer season. Since 2010 the maxi trimaran has been raced in a solo-sailing configuration including a shorter rig and smaller sails. Renaud and Ryan agreed immediately that the taller rig should be reinstalled and presently the technical team is working with designers VPLP to bring the boat back to its big rig/full power mode.
Lending Club 2 is due to be launched in Lorient, France in less than two weeks when the team will commence training. While named "Lending Club 2", the program is fully funded by Renaud personally.
Renaud and Ryan will race as co-skippers and helmsmen and have selected an international crew comprising of highly experienced French talent such as Jean-Baptiste Le Vaillant and Roland Jourdain as well as rising star USA sailors Jan Majer and Skip MacCormack and German navigator Boris Herrmann. Dutch Wouter Verbraak will be shore side weather routing advisor.
The 2015 program includes a series of World Speed Sailing Record attempts taking the team to the UK, France and to both the East and West coasts of the USA including Newport, New York and San Francisco.

Renaud Laplanche:
Renaud grew up in the South of France and sailed competitively from a young age. He won 2 French National championships in 1988 and 1990. Instead of starting preparation for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Renaud decided to focus on his studies and pursue a business career in New York and then San Francisco, founding two highly successful companies, the first acquired by Oracle in 2005 and the second, Lending Club, that he just took public on the New York Stock Exchange in the fourth largest US-based Internet IPO in history. Renaud became an American citizen in 2014.
Ryan Breymaier:
Ryan, an American native, had to wait until college in St Mary's, MD before discovering sailing. Thanks to the school's donation program, his first experience was with boats such as Whitbread 80 'The Card'. He quickly realized this was to be his vocation and pursued racing positions on offshore programs in the USA and Europe. In 2007 he pierced the tight world of short-handed racing in Brittany, France becoming one of the few Americans to have raced around the world non-stop in the IMOCA class, He is also holder of the WSSRC New York to San Francisco record in 2013 and winner of the New York to Barcelona IMOCA transatlantic in 2014.
Report by Lending Club Sailing.
Chris Rashley has been sailing International Moths since 2011. He has been reigning European champion for the past 4 years and came second at the Moth Worlds in 2014 at Hayling Island, having led right up to the last day. He was integral to the development of the Exocet Moth design, working alongside the designer, Kevin Ellway of Ellway Aero Hydrodynamic Designs and the builder, Simon Maguire of Maguire Boats. Chris is proud to be sponsored by Allen Brothers, Zhik, Marlow Ropes, CTech, Lennon Sails and the Royal London Yacht Club. He enjoys working full time coaching the British Olympic 49er FX Podium Squad.
The Moth Worlds 2015 was held in Sorrento in Australia. We were told this was an idyllic Moth sailing location with winds typically 12-20 knots. It wasn't quite the nirvana we were promised, but we did have an extremely warm and generous welcome from our hosts, the great people at the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club.
The Moth is widely appreciated as the most demanding high performance dinghy, and the line-up for this Worlds boasted pretty much all the exceptional sailing talent of our generation. It's tempting to rank it as the most prestigious sailing event ever. We had previous Moth World champions such as Nathan Outteridge, Josh McKnight and Bora Gulari; a huge contingent of America's Cup sailors including Pete Burling, Dean Barker, Glenn Ashby, Ray Davies, Chris Draper and Kyle Langford; plus Olympic legends like Iain Jensen and Tom Slingsby. No one expected an easy ride and there were bound to be big names who wouldn't make the top 20.
I always take a really disciplined approach to my sailing though, and I don't leave things to chance. Working full time means my time on the water is as limited as any other weekend warrior, but I made sure that the training I had done was really effective. I am fully committed to Moth sailing and it's important to me to do the very best I can for myself and for all the people who back me.
So I left the UK for two weeks of training at the venue over Christmas with my ultimate goal to make the top eight at the Worlds.
It's the way of things that the best laid plans go awry. Sitting here after the event, I'm astounded that I not only managed to achieve my goal, but I actually finished in fourth place. It's a fourth I value really highly and, in achieving it, I learnt a lot about myself too.
So what happened? Well, training at the venue before Christmas I knew I was fast – really fast. However, I began to have some serious back problems. I collapsed and ended up in hospital receiving conflicting advice from specialists. There were some dark days before an MRI scan helped diagnose a protruding disk.
I was told a steroidal epidural could help get me back on my feet and might, just might, allow me back in a boat again. This gave me hope I badly needed, but I had to wait until after the holiday period for treatment at Melbourne's Olympic Park. I was in huge pain and couldn't sleep. This was not the event preparation I'd had in mind.
Eventually I had the injection on Monday, two days before the Australian Nationals. Within 24 hours I couldn't feel the pain anymore.
I was advised to do nothing for three days but I knew I owed it to myself, my sponsors and supporters to push harder. So I discounted doing the Nationals but took a couple of gentle sails on Wednesday and Thursday. My back was painful and I knew I would have to compromise my technique, but participating in the Worlds looked more realistic.
The World's practice race took place on the Friday. Unlike the other races where the fleet splits into two starts, for this one all competitors would line up together. There was a nice 16-18 knots blowing. I tried hiking but quickly realised the pain was too much and settled for just sitting on the side. It wasn't fast, but racing was possible.
Despite doubting I'd be competitive, I found myself in second place. When Scott Babbage bailed out of the win for superstitious reasons, I was happy to cross the line first - I really felt I couldn't possibly have any more bad luck. I was pleased to take the accolade of winning the biggest Moth race ever and was stoked just to be on the race course. I went to bed on Friday night confident of beginning the Worlds on Saturday morning.
Saturday dawned a nice sub 10 knots day. Despite constant pain, the conditions were easier on my body, and I bagged some solid results: 3, 3, and 7.
The second day, Sunday, was windy and I felt nervous about hiking. But out on the start line I thought, "Hey, this is just like Stokes Bay – I love this stuff. Play it safe, get counters, a little hiking off the start line. I can do this."
To be honest, I just felt privileged to be on the water and not be stuck in bed. It was a major achievement. I wanted to live in the moment and enjoy being able to sail. Knowing my back might give up and I might not be able to finish the event, I decided just to aim for the Gold fleet.
I started with small ambitions but my confidence grew. I can't believe I pulled off a win in the second race which gave me a 4, 1, 4 and 4. I came off water feeling tight, sore and with a ripped shoulder muscle, but I was confident. I had more than made Gold fleet, I was lying 5th. It was a good day.
Monday continued the good vibes for me. With just one light wind race sailed, it was stressful but not physically tough. I took home an 8th.
Afterwards, there was some discontent in the boat park regarding the conditions in which the race was run. I don't get into that stuff though. The RO can only put on racing when he's happy to. All you can do is follow the instructions you get and not try to second guess the RO or the weather. Some high profile names launched just four minutes before the start – a schoolboy error in anyone's book. I was happy simply to have a gentle day.
The next day, Tuesday, was tougher. It was windy, raining like I'd never seen before and 11 degrees. We were postponed and my back was seizing up in the cold. I spent the day doing exercises in the shower to keep warm. We were sent out at 6pm. It was really rough and I'd already been round the forestay once before they finally called off any racing.
The forecast for the next day was dreadful and the RO confirmed it would remain as a lay day. I was able to relax a bit and, for the first time in weeks, I got 5-6 hours of sleep. It was great.
After unwinding on Wednesday, my mind set shifted from being happy just to sail, to really believing I could get a decent result. I wanted top 8 positions from Thursday – an ambitious goal in the shifty 12-28 knots. However I achieved 6, 8, 3 and 5. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I'd pushed harder. I felt I'd lost touch with the podium - Pete, Nathan and Josh were really consistent.
Yet I felt comfortably destined for the top six. With the pressure off, I slept well again. We had four more races scheduled. I could give it my all in the first two, discarding the rest if necessary.
The final day was breezy and choppy – enough to keep the Silver fleet ashore all day. But I went out to win the first race, ignore the pain and not worry about anything else. And I did win it, and I can't tell you how good it felt.
We were sent in while the RO assessed the conditions. It was howling. At 3pm they ran a final race. I'm pretty sure it was the windiest I have ever raced the Moth in. There was spray at head height flying over the committee boat. However, I came away with a respectable third to Pete's win and Nathan's second.
So there I was with a healthy fourth place overall and I was a bit overcome really. I'd got through the event – something I'd thought impossible at times. I was massively relieved. In that calibre fleet, I would have been delighted with fourth even without an injury, so I'm really happy.
The best news is that I know now that I'm mentally tougher and more committed than I realised. I know I will always deliver my very best performance regardless of the situation. I'm determined to win the Worlds one day. Undoubtedly this was Pete Burling's year though – he was in a league of his own and absolutely deserves the World Championship title.
2015-16 Series
Marlow Ropes, are very happy to officially confirm we will be continuing our long-term race partnership on board once again ahead of the 2015-16 series.
As the Clipper Race's official rope supplier, Marlow Ropes will once again provide each of the fleet's twelve Clipper 70 yachts with over 40,000 metres of high quality ropes which are made of modern, light weight fibres such as Dyneema. Crew will be provided with rope care and splicing advice by Marlow experts during training to help them get maximum lifespan and efficiency out of the running rigging during their eleven month challenge.Paul Honess, Leisure Marine Sales Director for Marlow Ropes Ltd, said: "Marlow is very proud to continue our association with the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race for the seventh consecutive race series. It was clear to see from the last edition of the race that the new Clipper 70 is a big step up from the Clipper 68s with regards to power and performance. "We continue to use mostly standard products on most of the running rigging but have now upgraded some cover composition for a few of the lines, this is to increase the longevity and performance in a few key applications ready for the next edition of the race."The great thing about working with the Clipper fleet is that we can trial and test our products and look at ways to increase performance and longevity of the lines and get great feedback which we can then use to develop our Cruiser/ Racer range of products."
Clipper Round the World Yacht Race
Up and coming 49er sailors Rory and Neil Hunter are the latest recipients of the Marlow Ropes Award, which will give the Scottish brothers free rope for a year after recently being selected to join the British Sailing Team Podium Potential Squad.
The Marlow Ropes Award was introduced in 2002 with the aim of rewarding Britain's most promising young sailors for their determination, focus and talent.
The sailing siblings from Lamlash on the Isle of Arran, Scotland, have spent the last three months training alongside the Podium Potential Squad and given their 49er potential and recent performances the brothers earned selection to the British Team in January.
"We were both absolutely delighted to have won the Marlow Ropes Award only days after our selection for the Podium Potential Squad," said 17-year-old helm Rory.
"We feel we have won the award from the results we have gained over the past season and from displaying a high amount of dedication and commitment during our time training alongside the Podium Potential Squad.
"The award will be a huge benefit to our campaign over the next season as we will be able to fit our boat out with top quality rope. In the 49er class, halyards and control lines come under high loads in the windier conditions, making top quality rope absolutely key to ensure a successful day racing with no breakages."
Over the past 18 months the duo have recorded some impressive results including the 49er National Championship title in August, finishing second overall at the RYA National Ranking Series in November and their season highlight coming at the ISAF Santander World Championships where they posted 36th overall and 11th in the Silver fleet.
The 19-year-old Neil added: "We feel that the key ingredient to our results over the past year has been mainly a lot of hard work! We've spent a lot of time sailing and just learning as much as possible. The learning curve is so steep, especially in a class like the 49er."
"Over the next 12 months our main goal is a top five at the Youth Worlds, that's our target event this year. We've got a lot of sailing planned between now and then, with events throughout Europe and we're going to Miami later this week. The Marlow award entitles the brothers to free Marlow rope for a year, which Rory says will be invaluable as they prepare for their inaugural season as British Sailing Team members.
"The award will help us massively. In a high performance boat like a 49er having the best kit is crucial for us to achieve our goals. With Marlow Ropes we can be sure that we are using the best rope available so it's just one less thing for us to worry about! It will be a massive boost to our campaign."
Barrie Edgington, British Sailing Team Podium Potential Squad Manager, commented: "Rory and Neil are rare examples of sailors who have taken a slightly more independent tack to campaigning and making the case for support from the World Class Programme. "In doing so their professional approach combined with achieving measurable international and national results has got them noticed and rewarded both by officially joining the British Sailing Team and being nominated for the prestigious Marlow Ropes Award. - "If they keep up the level of commitment to their 49er sailing and goals, I am sure they will continue to excel and achieve higher things."
Marlow were proud to be a part of the Yachts & Yachting Awards 2015 and would like to send Huge congratulations to winner of The Marlow Ropes Youth Sailor of the Year Award - Vita Heathcote!!
Presented BY PETER LILLINGSTON at the 2015 Yachts and Yachting Magazine Awards at London Boat Show 2015.

Venice Biennale 2012: Architecture Dolomiti Pavilion
Although the city is seen as a place of meetings and exchanges, many urban centers have become over-saturated with cars and car parks. This phenomenon has created a series of "non-places" that have claimed "common areas" from city dwellers. Occupying a space no larger than a typical parking spot, the Architettura Dolomiti Pavilion reflects on David Chipperfield's "Common Ground" theme and explores ways on how to exploit these common areas currently occupied by parking places. This wooden pavilion reinterprets and reintroduces the "larin" – a traditional space found in the rural houses of Belluno where the family meets to eat, drink and share stories – in an effort to create an intimate space within the city that offers an escape and an opportunity for interaction amongst city dwellers. With this pavilion, Dolomiti Architetture explores the possibilities of "a new life free from cars" within the city center that also reflects their values of environmental sustainability by using disassemblability techniques, recycling methods and renewable raw materials.
The Architecture Dolomiti Pavilion is currently being occupied by the city dwellers of Belluno, Italy. Continue reading for the architects' description.

The leaning Colosseum of Rome
Officials have warned that the 2,000 year old Colosseum in Rome is leaning. About a year ago, they noticed the south side of the Colosseum was leaning about 40cm lower than the north. As reported on the guardian, Prof Giorgio Monti from La Sapienza's construction technology department stated that this could be the result of a crack in the 13-meter-thick concrete slab below the amphitheater; however, it too early to judge.
Authorities are investigating whether an intervention is necessary. Additionally, tests are being conducted to review possible effects from nearby traffic.
Some of you may remember back to 2001, when the Leaning Tower of Pisa reopened after being closed for more than a decade as engineers worked to prevent it from falling.

Urban Movement Design debuts UNIRE/UNITE at MAXXI (Young Architects Program)
Urban Movement Design, winner of the 2012 Young Architects Program (YAP) MAXXI in Rome, has reinvented the MAXXI experience by engaging the mind and body with their interactive, summer installation. UNIRE/UNITE responds to the current public health crisis by offering an alternative solution to traditional urban furniture that choreographs exercise and play back into our daily lives. As our world struggles in crisis, Urban Movement Design believes it is imperative that we rethink the way we live and change the disabling, sedentary lifestyles that are currently promoted by our built environment.
The New York and Rome-based practice has merged the two disciplines of architecture and movement therapies in an effort to integrate health back into design and promote a greater sense of community. This project is a reflection of their philosophy. Continue after the break to learn more.
Urban Movement Design: "All of nature acts according to the law of interconnectedness, but humankind has moved away from this natural law and into an unnatural state of self-interest and isolation."

Venice Biennale 2012: Catalan and Balearic Islands Pavilion
This year's Venice Biennale will kick off on August 29th and run through November 25th and for the first time, the Institut Ramon Llull will be presenting an exhibition dedicated to Catalan and Balearic architecture entitled "Vogadors", featuring nine projects from nine different architects that epitomize the contemporary and avant-garde works from the regions. The exhibition is inspired by the Mediterranean Sea, which is the main geographical feature of the regions, and by the words of Jorge Oteiza, "He who forges ahead creating something new does so like an oarsman, moving forward but back-paddling, looking behind him, towards the past, towards what exists, so as to be able to reinvent its underpinnings."

FS: Chrysler 300M 17" Rim and (new) Tire
4 Attachment(s)
Hey guys -
So, I have a 17" Chrome rim and tire from my Chrysler 300M (recently sold). The tire is new, but I did run the rim for some time before moving the rim to spare duty (which is when this new tire was installed).
The rim itself has some scuffing and signs of wear, but the tire is brandy new. I also know, from doing some ebay research, that this rim will also fit:
Chrysler 300M - Years: 2003-2004
Chrysler Concorde - Years: 2002-2004
Dodge Intrepid - Years: 2002-2003
The lugs, centercap and tpms are not included. Local pickup only in Northern NJ (North Caldwell).
I'm asking $125.
Thanks for looking!
Good luck with the sale! :smileup:
Thanks for the bump!
Nice deal there man, hope someone jumps on this soon! :)
- Cajun
Good luck with the sale .
The item has been sold...
I will close the thread .

Mississippi Highway Patrol officers had their hands full throughout the July 4 weekend. The Golden Triangle region in particular was a hotspot for DUI activity, according to MHP citation reports.
MHP issued 6,555 citations statewide and arrested 203 drivers statewide on suspicion of DUI, according to the report. Troop G — the Golden Triangle district — lead the state in DUIs with 36 of those arrests, up from the 20 arrests made in the region last year. Overall, Troop G issued 983 citations and responded to 11 accidents, with five residents suffering injuries as a result. Of those 983 citations, about half were non-moving violations including seatbelt and insurance citations, according to Sgt. Criss Turnipseed, Troop G public information officer.
"Most of those (non-moving violations) we catch at checkpoints," Turnipseed said. "We had a good mix of hazardous and nonhazardous violations this year. ... It was more (overall) this year. This is the most we've had in a while."
According to MHP 2013 holiday citation reports, Troop G issued only 854 citations last year. Of those 407 were nonhazardous. MHP responded to 11 accidents last year as well, however just one injury was reported.
Fatalaties increased this year, as well. Statewide, MHP reported seven fatal accidents this year — up two from 2013 — on Mississippi roads — one in Holmes County, one in Bolivar County, one in Newton County, one in George County, one in Covington County, one in Jackson County and one in Wilkinson County. Turnipseed said at least three of those fatal accidents involved pedestrians.
"... There were just a lot of freak things," Turnipseed said. "We had two — one in Bolivar and one in Wilkinson — where people had broken down and gotten hit when they got out of their cars. Then we had a woman in Covington (County) who'd had a blowout. She was in her car, on the phone with 911 when an 18-wheeler topped the hill and hit her.
"It's been a long time since we've had this many," he added. "Usually Memorial Day is our worst (holiday). We had three fatals this year (statewide), and that's about average. Seven is pretty significant."
Turnipseed said as of Monday it was unclear if alcohol played a role in any of those fatalaties. Investigations remain ongoing.

Why is the Divorce Rate Rising With Age?
THE common curmudgeonly perception is that the youth of today aren't very good at commitment. While there may well be some truth in that, they are certainly not the only ones. According to a survey by Saga magazine, the divorce rate among couples in their 50s and 60s is rising sharply.
In Scotland, the proportion of divorcees approaching retirement age is higher than the average. But rather than pointing to a relaxed attitude towards marriage creeping in among older generations, most experts believe the rise is much to do with the financial independence of women.
Once children leave home, an unhappy marriage is more clearly exposed as such and, while thoughts of losing the family home or financial security once held women back, many now feel able to look after themselves, having had their own careers.
The survey says that over the past five years the divorce rate for the 50s to 60s age group has increased by 8.7-per cent. The age a person gets divorced is increasing -the average age for men is 42 and 39 for women, compared with 39 for men and 36 for women 10 years ago. Those in the 50 to 64 age group are now more likely to be divorced than those aged between 35 and 49. Mick Jagger, who was divorced from Jerry Hall in 1999 at the age of nearly 56 (after famously contesting that the wedding, in Bali, was valid in the first place), is not so unusual.
For Paula Hall, a relationship counsellor with Relate, the trend among the over-50s can be attributed to a higher expectation of romantic relationships, rather than disregard for marriage.
"People used to stay together come what may because that was what you did, " she says. "The concept of a marriage being happy or unhappy wasn't relevant.
Now we want happy, fulfilling relationships. We live longer, healthier lives, we have another 20 or 30 years of marriage and people are unwilling to spend all that time in an unhappy relationship."
The think-tank Demos predicts that there will be two million elderly people living alone in 10 years' time. Dr Maryanne Vandervelde, a psychologist and founder of the Institute for Couples In Retirement in Seattle, has spent many years exploring the challenges faced by couples after many years of marriage.
After retirement, she says, couples can be surprised that life isn't as straightforward as they always predicted it would be. The long periods of free time, decisions about where to live and how to manage money, whether to get pets and what kind of sex life they want to have, are suddenly much more pressing issues.
"One reason so many couples have problems in retirement is that they don't anticipate the changes accurately, " she writes in her self-help book Retirement for Two. "The adjustment may take some time and effort, and retirement will never be perfect."
Hall adds that many people are divorcing, just because it seems a less difficult option. "There's less stigma attached to it, more people are doing it, so more want to do it. And because there are more people doing it, there are more single people available, and the prospect of finding someone new is increased."
For others, however, divorcing after decades of dedication is nothing nearly as cosy as a lifestyle choice. Margaret Cook's very public separation from the ex-foreign secretary Robin Cook at the age of 52 was forced upon her after 28 years of marriage, when it came to light he had been having an affair. Her view of divorce among her age-group is that it's a natural follow up to an era of increased sexual freedom, but also "the way men are".
"The superimposition of the male ethos on the female ethos has a lot to do with it, " she says.
"Sticking with someone for life is part of the female morality and men have to come up against it or fit in with it."
Young women, she says, should prepare for this because it is unlikely to change. "Men aren't all rotten, " she says. "But if we're realistic, what they get out of a relationship and what a woman does are completely different.
When someone divorces in their 50s they are left with precious little.
They lose their esteem, social network, their friends and house.
"Young women entering into relationships must not lose their identities in it. It's easy to get caught up in the romance, and think that yours is different, and lose touch with friends or your own source of income.
"The tendency is to follow the man and get lazy about your own network. This kind of imprinting is something women do much more strongly than men. Men want women to do that, and will often belittle their relations and friends, encouraging women to drop them. The longer you're with a partner, the more inextricably linked you are, and the more painful the split can then be."
If all that sounds rather bleak, Cook is nothing if not an example of how even a messy and unwanted divorce can be turned into an opportunity.
"Although it hurt, my divorce being so public gave me a voice.
Anything I said ended up near a newspaper front page, and that was seductive and empowering.
"It must have wreaked all kinds of psychological havoc for me but it also meant that I discovered I like writing and having my views known.
"For most people, this won't be their situation, but they must make an opportunity of whatever theirs is. When people are bereaved or lose a partner they can get a real burst of emotional energy, and it needs an outlet."
But not even Cook, who used her burst of emotional energy to write an explosive autobiography and Lords of Creation: The Demented World of Men in Power, thinks women left single later in life should give up hope of finding another excellent partner.
"There are an awful lot of lonely people out there and nobody should give in, " she says, in agony aunt mode. "It's not the end of your life, and it's no shameful thing to sign up to a dating agency.
"Men tend to drown themselves in beer, but women tend to go out more. It's crazy when there are other people in the same situation to not go out and meet each other."
Getting under one another's feet
Some couples feel guilty for getting irritated by being in one another's company for too long, but it's natural to want a little freedom. Find at least one activity you both enjoy so you can spend fun time together, but allow one another exclusive hobbies too.
Arguments over money
Some retired people want to enjoy the money they've worked hard for, but others are more cautious. It's important to address the issue, as money niggles can be the cause of bitter resentment.
Poor communication
After years of marriage, routine can end up being the thing that happens where conversations used to be. Make time to talk to your partner about something other than taking out the bins.
Realising you've changed
The children leave home, and you see the ways you neglected your own marriage to look after them. See this as an opportunity to rejuvenate your marriage.

Boychuk on D&H: Krejci 'took a hit for the team'
|05.06.10 at 1:35 pm ET
Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk joined the Dale & Holley show Thursday afternoon to talk about the Bruins' success in the Stanley Cup playoffs. To hear the interview, click on the Dale & Holley audio on demand page. Boychuck was asked if he felt capable of providing more offense to help make up for the loss of Marco Sturm and David Krejci to injuries. "I know I can do it for sure," Boychuk said. "With those two guys out, everybody's going to have to step up their game. I can't really jump up in the rush at the wrong time, but when I see an opportunity to jump up in the rush, I'm going to make sure to do it and try to put the puck in the back of the net."
On the hit from Flyers forward Mike Richards that injured Krejci Wednesday night, Bochuk said: "It actually looked like a clean hit to me. It was unfortunate that Krejci got hurt on it, but he made a play and we scored a pivotal goal in the game last night. He took a hit for the team, and we made sure to capitalize when it happened."
Boychuk took some heat from Sabres fans for his hit that injured forward Thomas Vanek in the first round, but Boychuck said he doesn't care if he's the bad guy in Buffalo. "I don't even think it was a cheap shot," he said. "It was just a hockey-instinct play. It wasn't like I was trying to hurt him. But they had to point the finger at somebody, so they had to point it at me, I guess. I just take it as it is. If they want to point the finger for their loss at me, then go ahead. That's fine by me. It won't bother me at all, and I'll just keep playing the way I am."
On the contributions of veteran forward Mark Recchi, Boycuk said, "I think we have to check his birth certificate, because he sure doesn't play like a [42]-year-old. He's a great team leader, and he plays like he's 25. Having him in the dressing room — just his presence in the dressing room helps our whole team out just by keep it calm, keeping it cool. He gets goals for us that we need and want."
On goalie Tuukka Rask, Boychuck said, "He's kind of like an ice man. Nothing really bothers him. He's always focused and into the game. You can't really get him off his game easy."

Watch My Wag, LLCRead MoreWatch My Wag, LLC is more than just a place for dogs to play while their parents are away. Because it was designed and supervised by a dog behaviorist, the pup-focused facility delivers a therapeutic experience that hosts structured play sessions and helps younger pups adopt good habits and shake the bad ones. Older canines get some time to socialize with spirited youngsters, during which they can play, run, and jump with their new hard-to-tire friends. Over the course of playtime, youngsters watch their more mature companions to pick up proper doggy etiquette and the best tricks to convince owners to hand over some bacon during Sunday brunch. Private training sessions help pawed pupils ditch bad habits and adopt good ones, from not chewing on furniture to how to create Excel spreadsheets should they ever grow opposable thumbs. When the sunsets and playtime ends, pups staying overnight retire to a private suite, where high-quality dog food and a comfortable bed await them.255A Commerce Ave.Southern Pines, NC US

It's really that bad!.. Believe what your reading, a shame BMW does not work and fix this. Seriously BMW give us BT Pandora functionality at a minimum, a $100 aftermarket radio has this function, and so did the ATS I had prior to my M235i..

I was on the fence between buying a new 535i and a Volvo S60 R Design. I can assure you I would have bought the Volvo if I'd know what a joke the BMW app is! I have see the BMW iPhone app and assumed a company like BMW could never crate such a lame excuse for an app. I truly believe this borders on false advertising! Would never buy another BMW unless Android integration is seriously improved.

Latest update seems to have "broken" the ECO PRO function! One star reduction. Happen to have both Galaxy S3 & iPhone 4s; the 2014 328xd sport wagon is quite biased towards the 4s! I did get the S3 to connect. Great news! I got echo pro to log and fully work (nice feedback and graphs) ! Calendar did come thru as did the media access; no contacts as of yet. Agree that apps such as Pandora, TuneIn

Combined Company to Expand Cryoablation Clinical Programs and Broaden Global Business Presence; Also Signs Agreement for $16.25 Million Financing
with Current Institutional Investors
IRVINE, Calif. and YOKNEAM, Israel, Nov. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Endocare, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENDO) and privately held Galil Medical, Ltd., both innovative medical device companies, today announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement. The combined company will be focused on the promotion and development of cryoablation, a minimally invasive method to freeze and destroy cancerous tumors. The transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2009, will combine the complementary clinical, technological and marketing strengths of the two companies.
The terms of the agreement call for a stock-for-stock merger transaction resulting in Galil Medical becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Endocare, and would provide current Endocare stockholders 52%, and current Galil stockholders 48%, of the outstanding stock of the combined company. The combination of Galil and Endocare will form a company with pro forma combined revenues and gross profit in the twelve months ended September 30, 2008 of approximately $55.6 million and $39.1 million (70.3% of revenues), respectively.
The new management team will be composed of executives of both companies and will be led by Martin J. Emerson, Galil Medical's President and Chief Executive Officer, and Michael R. Rodriguez, Endocare's Chief Financial Officer.
Emerson commented, "As a combined company, Endocare and Galil will be
better positioned to advance the acceptance and growth of cryoablation as
an important treatment for cancerous and non-cancerous tumors inc

Man shoots himself inside Ala. federal courthouse
Thursday - 12/13/2012, 4:48pm EST
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A worker who killed himself inside an Alabama federal courthouse Thursday went through an employee entrance to avoid a security check that could have caught the gun, officials said.
The U.S. Marshals Service said the worker used an access card to enter the Hugo L. Black U.S. Courthouse in Birmingham. The card system is being used at times while renovation work is done on the main entrance.
The man, identified by authorities as building services director David Lee Williams, 50, of Birmingham, did not walk through metal detectors that are staffed by security officers to prevent weapons from entering the building, the Marshals Service said.
Police Sgt. Johnny Williams said the worker shot himself once in the head in a first-floor clerk's office. It was unclear how open or public that area of the office is, and officials would not elaborate Thursday. No one else in the building was threatened, Williams said.
Officials said courthouse procedures were under review after the shooting, but they declined to discuss details, citing security concerns.
Courthouse business was delayed briefly after the shooting, but the building remained open.

text: Marks SEASAF's first investment in Thailand Kuala Lumpur: The South East Asian Strategic Assets Fund (SEASAF), advised and managed by CIMB Standard recently completed the acquisition of Babcock & Brown's (B&B) interest in Babcock & Brown Asia Infrastructure Fund's (BBAIF). BBAIF is based in Thailand. B&B was an international investment and specialised fund and asset management group with capabilities in structured finance, with the creation, syndication and management of asset and cash-flow based investments. It had set up a funds management platform across its four operating divisions including real estate, infrastructure, operating lease and corporate & structured finance, which resulted in the creation of a number of focused investment vehicles in the areas of real estate, renewable energy and infrastructure. The company went into voluntary administration in March 2009. Established in November 2007, BBAIF is an infrastructure fund co-sponsored by The Bank of Tokyo–Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU) and B&B with a focus on investment grade countries in Asia. "In terms of geographic coverage and investment strategy, the acquisition of Asia Infrastructure Fund (AIF) complements those of the two funds we already have under management. With this acquisition, we effectively take over BBAIF's office in Bangkok and this immediately gives us presence on the ground in Thailand, one of SEASAF's main markets," said Dr Johan Bastin, Chief Executive Officer of CIMB Standard. "Furthermore, we are anticipating that two additional experienced senior investment professionals will join our team and contribute and strengthen our investment sourcing and management capacity for SEASAF and CIMB Standard as a whole," he said. Johan explained that the acquisition will also enable CIMB Standard to more rapidly expand its investment portfolio and allow it to strengthen its post-closing investment management capability. "It is an integral part of CIMB Standard's strategy to consolidate and strengthen its position as the leading infrastructure funds manager in the Southeast Asian region and expand its fund management platform through the launching of new funds and through the acquisition of existing funds such as BBAIF," he added. This acquisition follows on the initial closing in July by CIMB Standard of the Islamic Infrastructure Fund (IIF), with the ADB and IDB as sponsor investors and a target size of USD500 million. It is also a testament to the achievements of SEASAF, CIMB Standard's first fund which closed in March 2006 at USD147 million and focuses on energy and infrastructure investments in the ASEAN region. "Adding an office in Bangkok is strategic and precedes the planned opening of an additional office in Jakarta later in the year. We are also looking towards establishing a presence in Central Asia in 2010," he concluded.

If you work on a computer or mobile device away from home, you probably use Wi-Fi hotspots in hotels, cafés, restaurants, airports, or on campus. The problem is, there is no way to know exactly how secure those networks are.
Given the current prevalence of mobile devices, especially smartphones, it comes as no surprise that they are becoming more and more entwined with everyday aspects of our lives. We don't just use them to make calls, to text, or to browse the internet anymore. We can use them to do just about anything, and that includes using them as a means to provide our credentials.

The Angels were a young team to begin with this season (the youngest Angels manager Mike Scioscia has ever started a team with). Slumping veterans like Torii Hunter, Bobby Abreu and Vernon Wells have only put more pressure on the young players to perform.
But Scioscia believes any bumps in the road now will be worth it in the long run.
"The long and short of it is we've got a lot of youngsters who are getting their opportunity," he said. "There's a learning curve and we've lost some games to the learning curve. But I think the bottom line is we're a team that will improve as the year goes on."
That could be the difference in the AL West this season. One game separates the Rangers, Angels and A's going into tonight's games. The team that manages to improve -- whether it's by improved health (an area that would most benefit the defending champion Rangers) or an in-season acquisition -- could be the one that pulls away to claim the division title.
A light rain shower is passing through Oakland during pre-game but it doesn't look like the game will be affected.
UPDATE: Rain stopped. Tarp off. New game time 7:45 p.m.

...OPSing rather stoutly.
Before today's first pitch:
Jr. OPS .932
Dunn OPS .929
Hamilton OPS .879
Whatever else this disastrous 2007 has been, its been at least fun with regard to the OF and their collective offensive game.
Oh, and WK needs to continue to ask a high price with regard to Dunn and Jr. trade inquiries. Outfielders with .900+ OPS' do not grow on trade trees...
Today, 12:56 PM #2
Bumping back up a thread no one cares about because, doggone it, I work hard not to get feelings hurt. As of July 6, the OF OPS of the big three:
Jr. OPS .971
Dunn OPS .898
Hamilton OPS .916
And, wow. Again, whatever else the disastrous 2007 has been, it's been fun to watch those three play everyday. I hope WK really does hold firm to asking for a ton for anyone who wants either Jr. or Dunn. No reason to undervalue how good they have been or how much of an impact they can make to a team making a playoff push.
And Hamilton's year continues to amaze...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>
I have to applaud the intelligence of this guy - especially on the bolded comment above - maybe that's why he's in the ORG, and rest of us hapless slobs have to wallow in the SunDeck.
I'd like to post a line for "Everyones Favorite Reds OF-er", who epitomizes "Scrappiness" and all that is Reds Baseball - a "mini-me" version of Peter Rose himself:
.249 .307 .355 .662
YEP - that's BA, OBP, SLG, and OPS for Ryan Freel
Let's not forget this line:
8 6
YEP - that's Stolen Bases, and Caught Stealing
I know, he can make a Spectacular Diving Catch - sometimes into other players, and almost ALWAYS because he made a bad read, took a bad first step, and was otherwise FOOLED into having to make an Unnecessary adjustment to get back to the ball, when he PROBABLY could have made that same play look ROUTINE. But hey, those don't make it on the ESPN Highlight reel - OR land you on the DL for 5/6 weeks...
I already posted about how our OF"s rank with the rest of MLB. At least SOMEONE in this place agrees with me.
We can't replace our OF-ers with the Ryan Freel's and Norris Hopper's of the world - or even a Jay Bruce - and think we are going to win any more games. AND, if we're going to try to get anyone NEAR .900 OPS on the FA market, you're talking $15M per season MINIMUM. The only guys available for cheaper are the young guys who haven't put enough time in to be eligible for FA, and their teams OWN THEIR RIGHTS for the next 2-3+ years, only getting Pay Increases through Arbitration.
We need TOP LINE Bullpen guys and Starting Pitching, and some YOUNG Power Prospects in return for any proposed Dunn/Griffey. If we don't trade for a Power OF-er in return, we'll NEVER be able to pay for an adequate replacement for the same/less money.

Diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) is a result of poor glycemic control which adversely affects your internal organs particularly your heart and blood vessels, your stomach, your bladder and bowels. It can occur to any diabetic particularly if not careful with glycemic monitoring. The best way to reduce the progression of DAN is to educate yourself about glycemic control as much as possible, monitor and stabilize your glucose levels and treat any symptoms you are having as a result of the DAN. Don't despair, it is possible to interrupt the progression of DAN with proper glycemic control.
Great answer as always Laurie! Here is a link for this person to read & learn more about this condition too...
Thanks Mary for the link, I realize you put it there for the questioner, but it has helped me as well.
Great answer, Maryofmany#'s. And Luarie,too. Lots of information and
lots of encouagement on how to take the proper steps to treat DAN. And
then you will have your Dr. talking with you & prescribing meds to help your own body heal. Please don't despair, know you have the real tools of
Knowledge and empowerment to Succeed overcoming this diagnosis. Stay tuned into us and we will understand your updates with empathy. D-Squared
You are very welcome!

Hi Grace Mae, I suffer from neuropathy, yet it is not due to diabetes. But neuropathy is very painful no matter the cause. Mine is due to fibromyalgia.
The pain is truly the worst pain I've ever had, and I've had fibro for about twelve years, which is painful in itself. But the neuropathy is enough to make me nutty!
I hope your neuropathy is controlled by medication, I take oxycodone and Neurontin (or gabapentin - the generic) and they both help a little, I am able to live my life with some semblance of order and have some fun. When I am busy (socially speaking) I don't notice the pain as much.
Are you on any medications, besides meds for diabetes?
I really feel for you, it's no easy time when one feels as if their body, or parts of their body is stinging like mad.
I wish you all the best.
Mac, my husband is diabetic & has fibro. Can you imagine? His neuropathy is horrible. Mine is bad enough just from fibro, & messed up back surgery. I can't imagine how he feels. He also take gabepentin & says it does help him quite a bit. It never did help me tho'... Mary

Hi Gracie, I have both Diabetic Periphetal and Autonomic Neuropathy. I won't go into details on the Peripheral I will just talk about the Autonomic Neuropathy since that is what you asked about in your question. The symptoms I am currently experiencing are the following: Orthostatic Hypotension (my blood pressure drops 35 points when I go from lying to standing), ED (self explanitary), loss of sensation of my bladder (I never ever feel the urge to urinate). So these are my symptoms. You are not alone.

Initiative to take education to the doorstep of street children
NEW DELHI: Two "chalta phirta schools" or mobile learning centres equipped with computers, televisions, learning kits and books were launched by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit at her residence on Sunday as part of the Delhi Government's initiative to take education and learning to the doorstep of the street, working and other disadvantaged children.
Launching the two mobile schools under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan in the presence of Education Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely and High Commissioner of Australia, Ms. Dikshit said the idea behind these schools was to provide educational facilities to the children who do not go to schools since they live in difficult circumstances such as red-light areas, construction sites, railway stations, traffic signals and the like. She said while DSIIDC has gifted the two vehicles for mobile learning centres, UNICEF has contributed towards the refurbishment work and procurement of resource material.
Stating that these mobile schools were fully equipped with a variety of teaching and learning material including computers, televisions, books and animated lessons in VCDs, soft toys, games and learning kits, the Chief Minister said the Delhi Government was now considering to utilising the old Delhi Transport Corporation buses as "chalta phirta schools".
Further, Ms. Dikshit said these schools would be run on a public-private partnership basis. And a memorandum of understanding has been signed between the Department of Education and two non-government organisations, Butterflies and Salaam Baalak Trust, for the operation of these schools.
The Chief Minister said these schools would be parked at four definite locations in a single day and educational activities will be organised for two hours at each location. Both the NGOs have submitted their own routes. The routes submitted by 'Butterflies' will be covering the focused areas in Ashram, Bhogal, Nizamuddin, Lodi Road Sai Baba Mandir, Moti Bagh, Okhla Mandi, IIT Gate, Nehru Place, Darya Ganj, Jama Masjid, Kashmere Gate and Yamuna Bazar. The 'Salaam Baalak Trust' will be covering Kali Bari Area – Cannaught Place , Guru Nanak Eye Hospital (backside habitation), Kashmere Gate, Mori Gate Khyber Pass and G.B. Road .
Once in a week, the mobile schools will also be used for awareness programs on health and hygiene, HIV/AIDS, drugs and dowry for educating the children and the community. Nutritional support will also be provided to children attending these schools under the mid-day meal scheme.
Mr. Lovely said the scheme had been launched to address the educational needs of the children who are still out of school. As such it would primarily target construction labour, children of red-light areas, rag pickers and slum children. The Minister said while the dropout rate of school children in Delhi has reduced to 5.7 per cent from the 17.5 per cent earlier, the project will help in reducing it further.
