A wild fire burning east of Mount Vernon has closed part of Highway 9.
The Washington State Department of Transportation and a witness said the Big Rock Fire was burning along State Route 538 near State Route 9, about four miles east of Interstate 5.
The Skagit Valley Herald reports no homes have been threatened and cool, damp weather is assisting firefighters.
The Big Rock fire is named for a 500-foot-high local landmark, which is popular spot for hiking and mountain bikers, although it is not technically open to the public.
The Washington Department of Natural Resources reports the fire is burning in trees on rocky, steep terrain.
Fire officials have not determined the cause but suspect it might have started with a campfire.
To facilitate firefighting, Highway 9 was closed at times on Thursday. A helicopter is dropping water on the hillside.

Access to markets
A Single Market for goods and services is one of the main drivers of Europe's economy. It relies largely on the opportunities available for businesses to market goods and to provide or access services in the EU. It is the EU's central mission to secure an increased market integration and to remove obstacles to the free movement of goods, services and capital and to the freedom of establishment.
The changing nature of modern trade means that many of the trade barriers European companies face are not just the traditional import tariffs or quotas but discriminatory regulations.
Studies demonstrate a direct link between internationalisation and company's competitiveness. The EU is helping SMEs to develop and promote their international activities and facilitating the access to international markets.
Local support provided by 600 Enterprise Europe Network partners in more then 40 countries is available to entrepreneurs who need market and regulatory information or who are looking for business or technological partnerships.
Internationalisation also means awareness of standards and compliance certification processes. Actions are carried out to improve the participation of SMEs in the European standardisation process as well as to promote the use of standards facilitating access to the Single Market.
European businesses are entitled to freely establish and provide services wherever they are in the EU. All mobility-related and business lifecycle information and services available at national or European level can be found on the Your Europe Business Portal.

Product Data
About Compression Base Layers
Compression base layers enhance performance in training, competing and recovery, and are designed to reduce the quick build up of lactic acid in the muscles, whilst keeping you comfortable and dry during exercise by wicking moisture away from your skin. Body moulded compression garments also improve recovery after periods of sustained exercise and help to regulate your body temperature. Compression baselayers also help prevent muscle oscillation which leads to muscle fatigue and help to minimise muscle soreness.

My name is Michael. I am a mockoholic.
Whenever the words "mock" and "draft" appear together on my Twitter timeline, I can't resist clicking the link. As I write this, I'm fighting off the temptation to dissect the top "story" on ESPN.com on Thursday afternoon – Todd McShay's latest mock draft.
There's comfort in the realization that I'm not alone. Far from it. Mock drafts – NFL mock drafts in particular – are incredibly popular. In the ongoing battle for page views, mocks are a lock – unlike any of the actual picks made by the multitudes of mock drafters.
"All I know is, it's like throwing bread in the water and you can watch the fish snap it up," said Don Banks, who has been compiling mock drafts for SI.com for about 10 years. "It's a voracious appetite, and it's totally and utterly insatiable."
As of Wednesday evening, users had spent 11.9 million minutes on ESPN.com's mock-draft pages since the first one for 2014 ran in December. That's about 198,000 hours. That's mindboggling. And ESPN.com is just one of countless websites that publish mock drafts. They're everywhere.
What makes them so alluring? The NFL's general popularity obviously is a huge factor. This is a league, after all, that has turned the announcement of its schedule into a three-hour TV show which people sit and watch – even though each team's opponents are determined months before the schedule is released.
But there's clearly something more to it than America's love for all things NFL.
"It brings out the amateur scout in everyone. Isn't that why fantasy sports are so popular?" said Frank Schwab, who runs the "Shutdown Corner" blog for Yahoo! Sports – another source for multiple pre-draft mocks.
"But bigger than that, I think, is people miss the NFL in the offseason. There aren't any games, so the draft is the next-best thing, and mock drafts give people something new to read and debate."
They also provide hope. They lay out all the various enticing possibilities. My Browns could get Sammy Watkins AND Johnny Manziel? Super Bowl, here we come!
What's really interesting about this mock-draft mania is that it doesn't matter how accurate they end up being. It's like "The Bachelor." Hardly any of the couples are still together. Yet millions watch anyway, mesmerized by how things might turn out.
"For whatever reason, people are more fascinated with the unknown than the known," said Matt "Money" Smith, who serves as host of "Mock Draft Weekly" on NFL.com and NFL Network.
Last year, the NFL decided that mock drafts were worthy of a weekly half-hour show on its website and cable network. My only thought at the time was: What took the league so long?
NFL.com has a "Mock Draft Central" page that includes eight frequently updated mocks by its in-house experts, plus a do-it-yourself option. Is that too much of a good thing?
"People complain. They say it's overkill, they say it's embarrassing," Smith said. "At the same time, they keep reading it."
Since NFL.com launched its mock draft page on Jan. 15, it has generated approximately 17 million views.
Every mock drafter I spoke to said he approaches the task seriously. No one wants to embarrass himself.
But the next perfect mock will be the first. All it takes is one surprise to send the dominoes tumbling.
No matter how well-sourced you are, it's still a guessing game. That doesn't stop fans from griping.
"No matter who you give them, you're going to get picked apart," Banks said. "If you say the sky is blue, seven people are going to say it's not accurate – you haven't looked up recently."

What Is Secure Boot?

And do I have to have it to run W8?
After looking again at what isn't compatible for W8 on my PC, it's mainly old software that I can live without. That only leaves the Secure Boot incompatibility issue when I run the W8 assistant along with the possibility of needing a DVD playing app.
On the more info link in that assistant, this page comes up, but doesn't tell me if I need it or not. Leaving me unsure weather I can upgrade or not.
Does anyone know if I can?

I keep looking at various confusing pages on secure boot, but they all seem to be concerned with Linux installations.
I can't see a definate Yes I can install W8 or a No I can't install W8. Or if I can't, if there any workaround solution.

Have a read of this page which suggests it is a feature of Windows 8 which determines what software can or cannot be run. Having said that, I haven't had a problem installing and running any of the programs that I usually use.

Both my laptop and desktop PC's had the Secure Boot issue flagged by the W8 assistant but in both cases the upgrade completed successfully and all seems to be fine.

Put simply it only applies to PC's with newer UEFI type BIOS and prevents malware in the boot sector area of hard disks. If you have older type BIOS then it will install without problem.Basically nothing to worry about.

Thanks for those answers, the upgrade assistant software didn't make it simply clear that it would or wouldn't install, and for all the web pages of bumf on secure boot, all I wanted was a simple yes or no.
I'll give it a whirl this weekend now.

But wait, there's more!
Actually, there is one more picture of Paul for later in this ride report, stay tuned!
Paul and I were out in front of Susan on the leg from El Meco to CD Maiz. On one short straight I noticed there wasn't anyone in my mirrors, then it was back into the twisties. On the next straight I waited for a while and still no bikes...not good. With my limited fuel range, I had enough to make CD Maiz, but not enough to double back and still get to CD Maiz. So I pushed on to Maiz, sat through the military checkpoint (this one complete with a little four wheel robot thing), rendezvoused with Paul and topped the fuel tank. Then we headed back to find the rest of the crew. They came rolling up shortly after we passed the checkpoint, so we got to do that again.
Lunch was good, once we figured out that they were asking how many chickens we wanted, not how many pieces of chicken. After lunch, Paul and I split off from the larger group. We only had a single week of vacation and our time in-country was limited. With the larger group's encouragement we set out for Xilitla.

Reluctant to budge from their views, the government representatives and civil society members of the Joint Drafting Committee on the Lokpal Bill decided on Monday to leave the differences to be resolved at the next stage of wider consultations with political parties.
The government has decided to call an all-party meeting in July to elicit their opinion on the draft Bill and the divergence of opinions before giving a final shape to the Bill and presenting it to the Cabinet. It was decided to skip the June 30 deadline for submission of the draft to the government. The government, however, stressed that the Bill would be placed in Parliament during the coming monsoon session.
At the eighth and penultimate round of talks, the members made it a point to stress the cordiality during the proceedings, unlike in the past, the fruitfulness of the talks and the progress made. They apparently wanted to part amicably on the concluding day of the meeting on Tuesday, whether or not they bridged the gap on the six contentious issues.
There will be no meetings after Tuesday, when both sides will exchange their drafts and submit their comments. Further exchange of views will be made through e-mails, and a common draft will be presented along with the divergence of opinions on various issues.
Union Minister for Human Resource Development Kapil Sibal, who is also a member on the committee, said the proceedings were non-acrimonious, friendly, a major step forward and a breakthrough, on the basis of the broad range of agreement between the two sides.
The differences would be spelt out, and the areas of divergences and alternatives would be presented for being resolved through the political process to be initiated in July. On the basis of the outcome of the all-party meeting, the draft Bill would be presented to the Cabinet.
Anna Hazare, too, described the proceedings as good and said they were conducted in a cordial atmosphere. But he left it to Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan to talk to the media. Both Mr. Kejriwal and Mr. Bhushan, too, said consensus was evolved on some issues, and the meeting was "almost good." But they did not totally agree with Mr. Sibal's statement that there was an agreement on 80 to 85 per cent of the points raised. Consensus had been evolved on 11 issues, while another 15 to 20 issues were discussed, they said. Thus, consensus was to the extent of 60 to 70 per cent, but the areas were not serious in implication.
The contentious issues remained. As a matter of fact, only one of the thorny issues, relating to the structure of the Lokpal, figured at Monday's meeting. Other issues such as inclusion of office of the Prime Minister, the judiciary and the conduct of MPs in Parliament under the ambit of the Lokpal did not come up for discussion at all.

anyone have a yamaha snorkel from a 1966 yj-2
I think other Yamaha's used this part too:
I'm looking all over for one of these. Anyone want to sell one, or loan a n.o.s. one?
I know a guy that remakes rubber parts if some old yamafans want to do a group buy.
It would be even better if anyone has a n.o.s. one to copy
I was kind of thinking that maybe 3d printing might be an option??
I just checked the parts list
Its called JOINT, air cleaner 110-14453-00 or 109-14453-00
Seeing double. Not quite exact, but nice, flexxy, and not leaking grit into the carb chamber.
If anyone else needs a snorkel, pm me.
That is awesome and we want to know more. :D
i learned it on youtube by watching martha stewart tutorials about candles
Ordered the Smooth-On 2 part platinum cure silicone, no vacuum De gassing required.
200 series mold release spray.
Ordered Poly Flex 85, 2 part urethane. The 85 is a hardness rating
Plus urethane color additive from bity rubber casting supply.
The hardest part was finding an original to make the mold, but you could do by gluing the original together, molding it, casting it In Acrylic, and then sanding and adjusting it. Fixing the the areas of cracks. Then re molding and re casting in urethane.
Used a sour cream container instead of the 4sided mold making thing. And a painted shelf board as a base.
I double side taped the original down, but I should have hot glued it or got some stickier double side instead of removable double side.
Release compound seeped under one edge, thus silicone seeped under.
Hot glued the sour cream bucket, upside down, bottom cut out, as the mold.
Filled, cure, carefully remove original without tearing mold, fill it up with urethane, repeat.
Ta-daaaa vintage yamaha snorkels now available!
If anyone needs one, I can make you one for $20(my cost about 80$ to make 4)
Next up, kick start rubber with correct original horizontal grip lines, not the vertical line repros being sold in bangkock.
They're multiplying like tribbles from star trek!! Help!!
Horizontal lines kick start rubber complete!
The original wasn't very clean, so neither is the copy. Boiling water limbered up the copy so it slid right over the widened end of the kick pedal!
Let me know that if you need one
Impressive, my current restoration has some "hard to get" rubber pieces. This could be the ticket. :clap

...make sure you DO NOT use their water-based outdoor varnish. It is pure, unadulterated junk. I had a very bad experience with it when I used it to refinish my wooden kayak paddle. After paddling for a few minutes it started turning white and peeling off! It looked just the way your skin looks when a popped blister starts to peel off. I could not believe my eyes.
Later a friend used it to varnish an entire cedar strip canoe. Guess what happened...

star trek high jacking- devs welcome to comment
reason this is posted here is it consists of other games other then star trek online.
i am wondering, about a game that died before it launched. star trek infinity- it was suppose to be a browser based game and f2p. similar to battlestar gallactica.
for the mmorpg players you know what im talking about.
since the game did not launch and the people are probably moved on to another game or project- the ideas that game had can star trek online steal them? i realise it might not be correct thing to do but like infinity, star trek online pays CBS for the licence.
if it is in the best interest of sto not to do that, then how about recruiting there programers and story tellers? one of the very good ideas they had was fleet star bases before cryptic finally came up with them in season 6. i realise that the stories was based in a different time period but sto has something that no other game has- the foundry. anything can happen in the foundry. like have them make missions and give ideas on how to make sto better.
speaking of the foundry- why not give authors of acceptable missions free gold membership for x amount of missions?
It...... wasn't very good.
It was basically a top down arcade style shooter with Star Trek ships. There isn't much to steal from what I've seen. :P
What I understood about Infinite Space was that it was set during the previous Dominion War. 30+ years previous to STO's storyline. That history has already been addressed and revisited through an STO featured episode series. I'm not sure any content would break any new ground in STO. The real assets that game has are the voice-overs by Nana Visitor and Rene Auberjonois. Even if CBS owns the voice-overs and would make them available to Cryptic, I can't be confident any of that dialogue could be of any use for STO.
Same thing happened many years ago when The Secret of Vulcan's Fury was cancelled before completion. There are voice-over files somewhere with all the original cast that will likely never be heard.
stories, ideas. the people who created them. they already had idea of fleet star bases.
i wonder if CBS could offer cryptic/perfect world the voice overs. that would be cool. the content that was in the games might not have been sto compatible but the authors were good and i think would be a good fit for sto.

Thanks guys, that answers my questions.
I knew how tuners and DVRs worked for the most part, and I assumed that a cable box just took in the cable and output a video signal... but it just seemed too much like a step backwards so I had to be sure. I guess if someone wants to buy a DVR or DVD Recorder (with no tuner... like most of the ones wal-mart sells) these days they have to make sure they have multiple cable boxes (or possibly a box with multiple tuners) if they want to watch one channel and record another. That's pretty lame IMO. I'm just surprised that that is the direction the technology has gone.
As far as the monitor vs TV thing. Are there any significant differences in overall brightness, contrast or viewing angles?
Also, I haven't seen an LCD TV hooked up to a PC. Does a TV generally give a sharp picture with a straight VGA or HDMI signal from a PC? Are there any real draw backs to doing this other than the lower resolution? How about color reproduction? Some TN panel monitors actually have very accurate colors now.
Sorry for all the questions. I've looked around the net a bit and I keep finding the general "I like biggar screen with the 1080 PEEES so TV is bettar" comments.
All of the LCD Tv's that I've had hooked up to a pc have had pretty crisp pictures. They look just as good as a regular lcd monitor IMO as long as your at the proper viewing distance. (IE not 12" away from a 37" tv) I have had Westinghouse, Toshiba, and Sharp tvs all hooked to a pc before. (some 720p some 1080p) The Westinghouse models actually have ATI Xilleon hardware in them. Color reproduction is very good as well. Just make sure that you turn down the insane saturation that most TV's come with now.
I would agree about the whole issue with using tuners. The main problem is that your cablebox or satellite box use some proprietary hardware like Cablecards, so even if you did have a tuner in your DVR you'd probably still need a Set Top Box in order to get all of your programming. I really don't know why a standard wasn't laid out before digital TV was brought to market.

From the author of "A Whisper to a Scream" comes a story about growing up, making peace with your past, and finding a little love along the way.
2013 Readers' Choice Award Nominee: BigAl's Books & Pals
In her first novel, Karen Wojcik Berner introduced book club members Sarah and Annie. Now, it's time for another bibliophile to take center stage.
Catherine Elbert has never been good at making decisions, whether it was choosing an ice cream flavor as a small child, or figuring out what she wanted to be when she grew up. The only thing Catherine knew for sure was there had to be more to life than being stuck on her family's farm in Wisconsin.
While watching a PBS travel show, Catherine becomes entranced by Portland, Maine. The ocean. The lobsters. The rugged coast. Nothing could be more different from the flat, nondescript farmlands of Burkesville. Despite her parents threatening to disown her and her brothers taking bets on how many days until she comes home, Catherine settles on Peaks Island, off the coast of Portland.
She was finally free.
Or so she thought.
"Until My Soul Gets It Right" is the second book in Berner's Bibliophiles series. Unlike most series that follow one character through various adventures, each Bibliophiles novel focuses on one or two members of a fictional suburban classics book club, revealing their personal stories while the group explores tales spun by the masters.
This edition contains a Reader's Guide and book club discussion questions.

My sitter has been watching my intact 4.5mth old son for about 2 mths now. I totally didn't even think about telling her about not retracting his foreskin in the beginning, so I finally emailed her about it. I hadn't noticed any problems with DS, but I simply told her when changing his diaper not to retract it to clean it or anything, but just clean the outside. She emailed me back saying she didn't know what I was meaning about him not being uncirc'ed, that James (her foster son) was too, and she would never pull back the skin without my consent. Okay, good right? But then she went on to say she does for James, but only because the doctor told her too! James is 4. She has had him for 2 years. He is still in diapers, as he has down syndrome and other health complications.
When I mentioned that she should not being doing that, that it can take until puberty to retract on its own, and that it can be painful for him, she said that it should actually be done right away so its not painful later for him! I'm guessing that's what the doctor told her. Or would there be a reason she "needs" to retract him?
Okay, so if shes been doing this for 2 years now, is it too late for James? Like is it still hurting him when she does it? I haven't responded yet to her on this, as I don't want to rock the boat, but I don't want James in pain for no reason.

Age of ApplianceMore than 10 years
I turned off the water supply to the water heater.I unplugged the appliance. Disconnected the two water lines. The water heater was simply hanging on the wall, so it was easy to take it out from under the sink. I pulled the thermostat knob out. I opened the top cap and the front plate by removing the screws (4). I then removed the existing thermal fuse and plugged the new one. I proceeded to close the water heater and installed it back using the same steps in reverse. It only took a few minutes for the water to get hot.

Is there a way to place links in the sidebar that are only visible to someone logged in as an admin. These would be custom links defined by me and not links to the admin section of the dashboard.

I would extend similar reasoning as to why Iron Warriors could be nested in the Khorne book. And I'll continue to hope…

how much of it is thanks to these surfaces being way slower than they used to
? You think a mere clay courter would be able to win Wimbledon without visiting the net more than a few times during a 4-5 hour match?
At the French Open only. When Federer was in his prime he could only beat him there, if only Nadal bothered to go deeper at the Australian and US Opens where Federer excelled (more than at Wimbledon). Instead he waited for Federer to get old and then started to reach all those finals. Luckily, now he's having a taste of his own medicine. Or at least he will if he bothers to show up on court again.
A video?, his results speak for themselves. Yeah, the courts... I've seen haters like you talking here in 2006 saying how the clay specialist Nadal would be beaten by the first decent grass player in Wimbledon, and then how he'd never win the USO. But of course, once he won them they were suddenly just like clay, lol.
Must have been hard for you.
RAfa is 5 years younger, he reached those finals in HIS prime.
Oh, and Fed was the lucky one that Nadal got too nervous in that 2007 final (not to mention the way the scheduling went).

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.7
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class continues its reputation as the "everything to everybody" mid-size luxury vehicle. With the recent addition of the 2-door E-Class Coupe, the E-Class Wagon and the 2-door E-Class Cabriolet convertible, it's possible for the consumer to get a Mercedes-Benz E-Class in a surprisingly large number of flavors. No matter which 2012 E-Class variant is chosen, drivers can expect nothing less than the definitive Mercedes-Benz experience, with ride quality, luxury and comfort standing out in a segment that is among the most competitive in the auto industry today.
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is like a well-tailored suit; it will always look good, feel right and be in style. The wealth of standard features plus the sheer number of base-model options means there's something for everyone in the E-Class lineup.
If the prestige value of owning a Mercedes-Benz is of no importance to you, you may find competitors such as Cadillac, Infiniti and Lexus offer lower-priced vehicles that fully suit your needs.
The 2012 E-Class now boasts an E63 AMG Wagon, while the rest of the line features a set of new engines with substantial improvements in both power and fuel economy. The BlueTEC diesel engine is the only carryover from 2011. Along with some option and package changes, the 2012 E-Class brings a revised 7-speed transmission and minor design tweaks.
Driving Impressions Despite vastly improved power for 2012, there will always be faster cars on the road than those in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class line. However, few can boast the same blend of...comfort, luxury and performance. With individual shocks constantly adjusting to road surface changes and driver demands, the car is both firm and responsive through tight bends and smooth on the highway. Its suspension inspires confidence and the steering is reasonably informative. All this helps make the E-Class a remarkably enjoyable and comfortable vehicle to drive. If you'd like to step out closer to the edge, the E63 AMG brings an upgraded engine, suspension and transmission to bear with giggle-inducing speed and precision. The 2012 E63 AMG is available as either a Sedan or Wagon.
Distronic Plus Safety Package
It's tough to get excited about safety features, but the Distronic Plus Safety Package's features are truly special. The Pre-Safe Brake system uses radar to warn the driver of imminent collision and even applies the brakes to minimize impact.
Sport Package
Ok, so the Sport Package only shows outwardly with bigger wheels and comes with a swanky contrasting interior. You should buy it for the stiffened (and lowered) suspension, which properly livens up the car's handling.
Every 2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class comes rich with standard equipment, providing comfort and convenience expected from the marque. From burled walnut interior trim accents to 14-way power seats with memory settings to the premium audio system and "mbrace" navigation system, the E-Class doesn't leave much room for options (though there are some). New available assistance systems, such as the Lane Keeping Assist (in both passive and active forms) and Blind Spot Assist, take a bow for 2012. Also new in the 2012 E-Class cabin are the steering wheel and instrument cluster display. Front head and legroom is very good on all models. The rear seats, however, can be a bit cramped in the Coupe and Cabriolet but are very nice in the Sedan and Wagon. Luggage space is impressive across the line, even in the Cabriolet, which has ample usable trunk space.
Visually, the 2010 revamp of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class was a "love it or hate it" affair, sparking strong argument from both sides. Combining elements of 1950s sedans and coupes with muscular rear fenders, not to mention its now-signature front-end design, the latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is both distinctive and recognizably Mercedes. The two-door Coupe's lack of a B-pillar gives it a smooth aesthetic and an air of class. The Cabriolet convertible shares the Coupe's modified grille and boasts an elegant soft top that blends nicely into its sharp bodylines. The soft-top look is classic and weighs a lot less than a hardtop. The Wagon is an unsung hero. From some vantage points, its roofline appears to carry a descending angle from front to back, while from locations it seems a straight line to an expansive rear cargo area. New for 2012 are standard LED daytime running lights, a design touch pioneered by Audi and now practically mandatory market-wide.
All 2012 E-Class models come with an impressive list of standard features. Electronic Brake Assist is standard across the line, as is the 7-speed transmission with paddle shifters fitted to the new multifunction steering wheel. Other standards include the 8-speaker, 6-disc CD/DVD system, a 7-inch LCD display and a plethora of comfort and convenience features. Safety features include a litany of airbags plus the LATCH (lower anchors and tethers for children) system. Electronic stability control, long a standard on most Mercedes-Benz, is now required by the government to be fitted on all 2012 cars.
Options of note on the 2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class models include both Sport and Luxury Design Packages, the Distronic Plus Package with Pre-Safe Braking and Parktronic parking assist and Premium Packages offering Bluetooth connectivity, iPod/MP3 capability, HD radio and more. For the sedan and wagon, leather upholstery is optional and across the line seating is available with heating, ventilation and even massage functionality for the driver.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class line continues to feature four engines, three of which are new for 2012: The 210-horsepower, turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel; a 302-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 in E350 variants; a 402-horsepower, 4.6-liter V8 for the E550 cars and the monster 518-horsepower, 5.5-liter V8 in the E63 AMG sedan and wagon. All E-Class engines run through a freshly revised 7-speed automatic transmission with optional manual paddle shifting.

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 26,600overall rating 9 of 10rating details
Pros: "Exceptional mileage, performance and appearance"
Cons: "A bit on the pricey end"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Driving the vehicle has not only been fun, but, satisfying too as you watch your fuel efficiency increase while you drive down the highway. The best MPG has been as high 42. Generally driving about town it is in low 30s but still much better than my old E350 gas model. The clean diesel technology leaves you with a quite and non-offense exhaust system that betters all gas vehicles, IMO. The vehicle handles exceptionally, and the acceleration is probably not what one would expect, but the torque clearly gives the vehicle a jump start that you might see in an electric car. ;)"

Pros: "Solid. Great gas mileage/power, 10 GB music regis"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"I purchased this car last September with 18,000 miles. I love the car. I traded in a Honda Accord and the Mercedes is a much nicer car. It has great acceleration when needed, but still gets excellent gas mileage. It is not as fun to drive as my wife C350, but road trips are a pleasure. Make sure you have a warranty as any repairs will cost you both arms and both legs, but some things are just worth it."

Constipation refers to when an infant or child has difficulty passing stool (bowel movements). This can mean that the stools are infrequent, hard, large, or takes a lot of effort to pass. Sometimes, chronic constipation can lead to encopresis (fecal soiling from an over- stretched rectum).
Stools are either too firm/hard or large/wide to pass easily, or they are not going frequently enough, or getting enough out each time. Some children do not know that they are constipated, but then start to leak soft/liquid stools. This is a sign that they have been constipated for a long time. It is important for parents and children to know what the stools are like when coming to see us.
Causes can vary. Most children have constipation from not eating enough fiber or drinking enough water. Others wait too long before going to the bathroom, which can lead to stools becoming harder and harder to pass. Sometimes side-effects of certain medications can also lead to constipation. For a few infants and children, there may be more serious (yet rare) causes of constipation which may require special tests.
Depending on the age of the child, and based upon the answers we get from asking many detailed questions and doing a thorough exam, some infants and children with constipation may not need any further testing. Other children may need additional tests (blood tests and x-rays).
Treatment depends on the child's age and the underlying cause. Most children will require stool softeners or laxatives, such as PEG-3350 or lactulose. Children will also be counseled on eating more fiber, drinking more fluids, and making time in their daily schedules to sit on the toilet regularly.

Microsoft 4Afrika Initiative is a new effort through which the company will actively engage in Africa's economic development to improve its global competitiveness.
This is a multi-year initiative that aims at empowering every African who has a great idea for a business or an application and to turn that idea into a reality which in turn can help their community, their country, or even the continent at large. The Microsoft 4Afrika Initiative is built on the dual beliefs that technology can accelerate growth for Africa, and Africa can also accelerate technology for the world.
One of the core missions of the Microsoft 4Afrika Initiative is to actively engage in Africa's economic development to improve its global competitiveness. Over the weekend, we took new steps to deliver on that commitment. While visiting Africa, US President Barack Obama announced the Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, a new flagship program of the President's Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI). Microsoft, as part of the Microsoft 4Afrika Initiative, with other leading private sector partners, have committed to support this program and the Fellows involved.
The Fellowship represents a major expansion of U.S. investment in the continent's next cadre of leaders. Through this effort, the U.S. will develop a network of thousands of young African leaders across key sectors for Africa's growth and development. Key components of the Fellowship include regional enrichment seminars, an on-line community, and a vibrant alumni network across Africa. As part of our commitment to bringing world-class skills to the continent, Microsoft 4Afrika will specifically offer internships for YALI Fellows in our offices across Africa, including in Cairo, Tunis, Casablanca, Abidjan, Dakar, Accra, Lagos, Abuja, Luanda, Johannesburg, and Nairobi.
Yesterday, Ali Faramawy, CVP for Microsoft Middle East & Africa, had the honor of participating in a CEO Roundtable with US President Obama in Dar es Salaam. The group discussed growing businesses and investing in Africa to accelerate economic growth, a topic at the core of Microsoft's 4Afrika Initiative.
More information on YALI can be found here.

Ferry sinks off Tonga; dozens missing, feared dead
NUKU'ALOFA, Tonga Giving women and children the comfort of cabins while men stayed on deck may have doomed them to be trapped inside an overnight ferry that capsized in heavy seas off Tonga, officials said. Dozens are missing and feared dead.
Tongan Police Commander Chris Kelly said Friday that the Princess Ashika was carrying 117 passengers and crew – "62 of them unaccounted for" – when it went down around midnight Wednesday, about 55 miles (85 kilometers) northeast of the South Pacific island nation's capital, Nuku'alofa.
The 62 missing included four crewmen, 19 male passengers, 21 female passengers, seven children and several names that could be male or female, he told New Zealand's National Radio.
Fifteen of those rescued "were not on the manifest and this just illustrates the difficulty ... of identifying who was and was not on the boat," Kelly said.
"No women or children made it," passenger Siaosi Lavaka was quoted as saying by the Matangi Tonga Web site after he was brought ashore with the other male survivors who managed to cram aboard the ferry's seven or eight lifeboats.
Only two deaths have been confirmed so far. New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully said one of them was a British citizen.
Tongan Prime Minister Feleti Sevele said the tragedy was "big for a small place."
"This is a huge disaster, a huge loss, we'll try and cope with it as best we can," he told reporters in Cairns, Australia, where he was attending the Pacific Islands Forum.
The missing passengers, mainly Tongan women and children who were sleeping in cabins below deck, likely would have gone down with the ship, he said, so chances they would be found alive "are not great."
A lot of boats traveled between islands of the archipelago every day and "the ratio of accidents to trips is quite small," Sevele said.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, hosting the summit of South Pacific leaders, indicated the toll was expected to rise.
"There has been considerable loss of life," Rudd said in the northern Australian city of Cairns. "Our thoughts and our prayers are with the families of those that have been affected by this great tragedy."
The ferry had been traveling from Nuku'alofa to outlying northern islands of Tonga, which lies in the South Pacific, about two-thirds of the way from Hawaii to New Zealand. Authorities said women and children had been taken below to cabins for the overnight journey. The men stayed up top, sleeping rough in balmy conditions that turned tumultuous.
Lavaka, whose mother was among the missing, said he woke to find the ferry rocking violently and waves breaking over the ferry's lower decks.
The rocking apparently shifted cargo to one side of the vessel, unbalancing it and turning it over, he said.
"We woke up to the sound of shouting and we jumped off," he said.
A mayday distress call was received from the Princess Ashika shortly before midnight Wednesday and it sank soon after, Kelly said.
"It appears that those passengers who were inside the vessel in cabin-type accommodation did not actually gain exit; only those who were outside," Transport Minister Karalus told New Zealand's Prime News television, explaining why all of the survivors so far were men.
