Mrs. Mak, a woman of sophistication and means, walks into a café, places a call, and then sits and waits. She remembershow her story began several years earlier, in 1938 China. She is not, in fact, Mrs. Mak, but shy Wong Chia Chi. With WWII underway, Wong has been left behind by her father, who has escaped to England. As a freshman at university, she meets fellow student Kuang Yu Min. Kuang has started a drama society to shore up patriotism. As the theater troupe's new leading lady, Wong realizes that she has found her calling, able to move and inspire audiences - and Kuang. He convenes a core group of students to carry out a radical and ambitious plan to assassinate a top Japanese collaborator, Mr. Yee. Each student has a part to play; Wong will be Mrs. Mak, who will gain Yee's trust by befriending his wife and then draw the man into an affair. Wong transforms herself utterly inside and out, and the scenario proceeds as scripted - until an unexpectedly fatal twist spurs her to flee. Shanghai, 1941. With no end in sight for the occupation, Wong - having emigrated from Hong Kong - goes through the motions of her existence. Strangely, Kuang re-enters her life; as Wong reprises her earlier role, and is drawn ever closer to her dangerous prey, she finds her very identity being pushed to the limit...

A few months ago, I received a phone call from a cyclist with an incredible story about an incident in Lawrence County, Ohio. Because the cyclist-a guy named Tony Patrick-was in need of an attorney, I hooked him up with Steve Magas, a contributing author to Bicycling & the Law, and a well-known bicycling attorney in Ohio. After hearing Tony's story, Steve took his case. More about that later; first, let me tell you about Tony.
Weekdays, Tony runs his small construction company in Huntington, West Virginia. Weeknights, and weekends, Tony, a Cat 2 racer, can often be found hanging out at Jeff's Bike Shop-that is, when he's not out on a training ride, or racing. And that's not unusual; Jeff's Bike Shop is the center of a vibrant racing scene in Huntington, the second-largest city in West Virginia, and the home of Marshall University.
That racing scene means regular training rides, all of which start out and end up at Jeff's. There's a ride every other day, each geared to a different set of riders, but the real hammerfest is the Tuesday night ride. That's the ride where the locals try, as Tony puts it, to hurt each other over the course of a 23-34 mile route that takes them across the Ohio River, into the back roads of southern Ohio, before looping back across the river into Huntington.
And that's how Tony found himself just outside of Chesapeake, Ohio, one Tuesday night in August of 2008, heading into town to take the bridge back across to Huntington. Tony was riding with "Ryan," a then-16 year old nationally-ranked racer with a 4.2 GPA. ["Ryan" is a pseudonym; I've concealed his identity because he's a minor.]
That night, Tony and Ryan were a little tired from a hard training ride the night before, so they decided to take the shorter route. Thus, as they headed into Chesapeake, they were separated from the peloton. Just outside the town limits, they passed the library. Exactly what happened from this point forward is the subject of dispute. Both Tony and Ryan say they were the only two people on the road. But they weren't alone-in the library parking lot was a Lawrence County Sheriff's Deputy. Over the course of several interviews for this story, Tony and Ryan told their side of what happened. The Deputy's account of what happened is contained in his written report of his encounter with the two cyclists, and in his later testimony at a hearing before a judge, nearly five months after the events that occurred on that August evening.

2 believed missing, 4 sent to hospital after blast off Louisiana coast
A photo posted to Twitter by local Lafayette, LA KLFY TV10 is reported to show smoke billowing up from the burning oil rig in Gulf of Mexico.
Coast Guard officials say an oil rig has exploded off the coast of Louisiana, sending four people to hospitals. Two are believed to be missing.
Petty Officer 3rd Class Jonathan Lally, a spokesman for the Coast Guard, did not immediately have information on the conditions of those taken to hospitals.
The rig, a production platform owned by Black Elk Energy, is about 40 kilometers southeast of Grand Isle, La.
The platform, unlike the Deepwater Horizon rig, which was drilling an exploratory well in mile-deep water well to the east of Friday's reported explosion.
A parish official says the rig is not drilling at a deepwater site like the Macondo well that blew out in 2010. That blowout led to an explosion that killed 11 workers and led to the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
Lally says two helicopters, an airplane and small boats were sent to the area on Friday. He did not know if the fire caused by the explosion had been put out yet.
The Coast Guard says it has activated a command center to investigate the fire.
A spokesman for Black Elk Energy could not immediately be reached for comment.
Black Elk is an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, Texas.
The company's website says it holds interests in properties in Texas and Louisiana waters, including 854 wells on 155 platforms.

Gegardi Mousasi hints at move back to middleweight - Mixed Martial Arts News
Mousasi recently questioned whether or not a move back to middleweight would be the best for his career:
Mousasi (34-3-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) , who's 21-1-1 over his past 24 fighters, hinted at a potential move down to middleweight.
"Hey everybody, what you think about if I go to 185?" he tweeted today. "I am curious what people think about this idea."
The 185-division isn't uncharted territory for the 27-year-old, who previously held DREAM's middleweight title after winning the organization's grand prix in 2008. However, he later signed with Strikeforce, where he held the organization's title in the light-heavyweight division. All of Mousasi's recent work has come in the weight class.

We've heard it said that Stephanie Herseth Sandlin has departed from her South Dakota roots. We don't believe it. The other day, when our dog got loose, who helped us round him up? Our neighbor, South Dakota's very own congresswoman.
Having Stephanie as a neighbor means that we can find her and her husband, Max, playing with their son, Zachary, in the back yard. In the evenings, on our way to bed, there she is washing dishes in her kitchen window. Continue Reading

Mr. Raynor asked'if the tivo -candidates feel. . the Tillage Court's handling of building code, violators has been "effective?" .--Cohen classified the present handling by the Court as a "slap -on the wrist," pointing out that the story on the front page of THE LEADER some weeks b ad about a S500 fine should not have been newsworthy. Referring to figures in a recent Republican/ VUlage Party mailing piece, Cohen interpreted tiiem. as number of code violations in 1980 had increased '400% since Judge Franco first sat on the bench, the average fine was $45, only $2 more than in 1976. "People should know that it will cost them more for the fine than to fix up the code violation,". said Cohen. Franco answered that he had only seen Cohen in Village Court twice.

New York Rangers (31-24-3) at Pittsburgh Penguins (40-15-2), 7 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins have used excellent play both at home and against fellow Metropolitan Division residents to build a commanding lead atop the standings.
They'll look to further that advantage ahead of the Olympic break on Friday night as they take on a New York Rangers club that is among the conference leaders in road victories.
Pittsburgh has lost just once in its last 17 games at home. Combine that with a 17-5-0 record against the division and it is no surprise that the Penguins lead the second-place Rangers by 17 points in the Metropolitan standings.
The Pens have 82 points on the campaign, three back of the Anaheim Ducks for the most in the NHL, and are 11-3-1 in their last 15 games overall. They are coming off their 40th win of the season, a 5-1 decision over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday.
It marked the fastest that Pittsburgh has reached the 40-victory mark in club history, doing so in 57 games. That surpasses the 1995-96 squad that reached the plateau in 65 contests.
Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin both scored and Marc-Andre Fleury posted 24 saves to earn his NHL-leading 31st win of the campaign. Pittsburgh has won all eight of its games this season when both Crosby and Malkin score in the same contest, while Malkin has three goals and six points over his last four games.
"We took a little bit of time to get going, but once we did, I felt like we did grab a lot of momentum there," said Crosby, who snapped a five-game goal drought and added an assist to up his league-leading point total to 77 through 57 games.
James Neal, Brian Gibbons and Harry Zolnierczyk had the other goals for Pittsburgh.
The Pens played a fourth straight game without Kris Letang and reveled on Friday that the defenseman had suffered a stroke last week. He is expected to miss at least another six weeks of action, but the issue is not believed to be life threatening.
Letang experienced dizziness and nausea and did not play last Thursday as he continued to feel ill.
"I hope that by making my condition public at this time, I can help other people by encouraging them to seek medical help if they experience some of the symptoms associated with a stroke -- regardless of their age or general health," Letang said in a release on the team's website. "It obviously was a shock to get the news but I'm optimistic that I can overcome this and get back on the ice."
Not only are the Penguins playing well at home, but they are even with the Rangers in road victories with an Eastern Conference-leading 17.
New York, though, has won five straight on the road and 15 of its last 19 away from Madison Square Garden, where it hosted the Edmonton Oilers last night and dropped a 2-1 decision.
Derick Brassard scored for a third straight game and backup netminder Cam Talbot made 29 saves in a tough-luck loss, which snapped the Rangers' season- high winning streak at four games.
"We were a little bit sloppy through the neutral zone, and when you do that against a team like that it'll cost you," said New York's Ryan Callahan, who was stoned on a short-handed breakaway chance in the second period.
The game was the 6,000th in the history of the Rangers' franchise. They also lost in their 4,000th (Dec. 12, 1987 to Philadelphia) and 5,000th (Oct. 26, 2000 at Philadelphia) outings.
The Rangers are just one point ahead of Philadelphia for second place in the division and also play their final game before the break.
The Blueshirts have lost two straight and 10 of their last 12 versus the Penguins overall as well as five straight and 15 of the last 21 played in Pittsburgh.
The Pens are 15-2-4 versus the Rangers over that 21-game span at home and have outscored them 17-5 during the current five-game home winning streak.
Fleury is 2-1-0 versus the Rangers this season despite a 3.25 goals against average and .891 save percentage.
New York will counter with No. 1 netminder Henrik Lundqvist, who has won four straight overall and is 9-2-0 with a 1.46 GAA over his last 11 games but just 1-1-1 with a 2.92 GAA and .899 save percentage this season versus the Pens.
Brassard (3 goals, 4 assists) and Mats Zuccarello (2g, 5a) are both riding five-game point streaks for the Rangers. Brassard also has two goals and three points versus the Pens this season, while Zuccarello has two goals and three assists in the three meetings.
Crosby has a goal and four assists in 2013-14 against the Rangers, while Chris Kunitz is pacing the Pens with three goals and six points in the three meetings.

"Slammin" Cleon Salmon is a former Heavyweight Champion of the World turned celebrity owner of a high-end Miami seafood restaurant, The Slammin' Salmon. A terrifying bull of a man, Salmon uses fear to rule over his misfit waitstaff, and on this particular night, he takes his bullying skills to a new level. In an effort to pay off a gambling debt to the Japanese Yakuza, Salmon sets up a contest to 'inspire' his waitstaff to sell more food than they ever have before: the top selling server wins $10,000 while the waiter in last place gets served with a broken rib sandwich-courtesy of the Champ himself.

Well, free after rebate, but ultimately you're getting a $55 security suite for $0. Plus: four bonus deals!
By letting Android users see files stored on their PCs, Backblaze takes another step toward sync services such as Dropbox.
That's half off the regular price for this highly automated service, which works with Windows and Mac PCs and includes laptop location-tracking.
It's not unlimited storage, but the 100GB allotment should be more than enough for most users. This same subscription would normally run you $99.99.
Lots of great deals, including dirt-cheap cloud backup and a $50 touch-screen Nook e-reader with GlowLight.
You can back up your files or sync them. Or, with Mozy, you can do both. It's a flexible but confusing service.
To infinity -- and not beyond, because infinite storage is quite big, and that's what Bitcasa is offering for less than £7 a month.
Even customers who paid in advance for long-term unlimited storage at RapidShare will see it disappear on March 20. The company says its terms of service permit such abrupt changes.
Good news for the Android crowd: Mozy's new app links you directly to your backed-up data, which you can view, play, share, and so on.
The online backup and storage site now has its own iPhone app through which users of the service can view, download, and e-mail any of their files.

Product Selection
Learn More About Lacrosse Protective Gear
Its the fastest game on two feetget ready for lacrosse season with the right lax protective gear.
Theres no question: Lacrosse is a contact sport. Proper safety equipment is required to ensure player safety. Keep in mind this list of lacrosse protective equipment when youre prepping for the season.
Beginners Checklist for Boys
- Gloves
- Lacrosse Helmet
- Should Pads
- Arm Protection
- Protective Cups
- Mouthguard
Its imperative that your lacrosse equipment fits and functions properly during play. Shop top lacrosse brands, including Bodyguard Pro®, Battle Sports Science®, STX® and Shock Doctor®.
Buying Tips
Several pieces of protective equipment are key to your lacrosse game. Always suit up with the essentials before taking the field. Remember to consult league requirements when prepping for the season:
Helmet: The protective makeup of a lacrosse player starts with the helmet. The goal of a lacrosse helmet is to provide safety, security and a comfortable fit. Helmets are made of a hard plastic to protect the head with a mask to protect the front of the face. They come in a variety of styles with customizable options and colors.
Gloves: Lacrosse gloves have heavy padding on the tops of the fingers, the backhand, and around the wrist to protect against checks. Synthetic and/or mesh materials allow for good grip and let your hands breath during a game. A good fitting glove should protect you without compromising your stick handling ability. Women's gloves are designed to offer protection and mobility. The typically offer padding on the back of the hand and thumb but are thin enough to stay flexible. They also add grip to prevent dropping the stick in cold or wet conditions.
Should Pads & Liners: Shoulder pads slide over the head and rest on shoulders to protect the shoulders, chest and back. They come with adjustable straps that loop or strap underneath a player's armpits onto the chest. Many have hard plastic shells on the high impact areas for maximum protection. Any shoulder pads should fit tightly to the body without restricting mobility.
Mouthguards: Most mouthguards attach to the face mask of the helmet via a plastic strap. Women lacrosse players are required to wear strapless mouthguards. Mouthguards come molded to the mouth.
Womens Goggles: Womens lacrosse goggles should fit comfortably and not hinder vision. Vented, silicone padding provides comfort and a secure fit during play. Eye protection is available in youth and adult sizes.
Expert Advice
Body pads provide extra protection from shots on goal. Ventilation is critical in lacrosse body padding. Look for pads with built in ventilation and moisture-wicking properties to combat perspiration. Pelvic protectors and goalie pants are also available. Look for body padding treated to be anti-microbial. In addition, arm and elbow pads provide extra coverage.
Keep in mind these factors when purchasing your new lacrosse helmet:
- The helmet should be examined for damage before each use.
- The helmet should be examined for damage before each use.
- Be sure there is a four-point chin-strap attached to the helmet. The chin-strap should be tightened so that there is no slack. The chinstrap should be adjusted to fit snug.
- Proper helmet fit should never cause headaches.

Joints are mainly classified structurally and functionally. Structural classification is determined by how the bones connect to each other, while functional classification is determined by the degree of movement between the articulating bones. In practice, there is significant overlap between the seven types of classifications.
Terms ending in the suffix -sis are singular and refer to just one joint, while -ses is the suffix for pluralization.
There are many different forms of arthritis, each of which has a different cause. The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis (also known as degenerative joint disease) occurs following trauma to the joint, following an infection of the joint or simply as a result of aging. Furthermore, there is emerging evidence that abnormal anatomy may contribute to early development of osteoarthritis. Other forms of arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, which are autoimmune diseases in which the body is attacking itself. Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection. Gouty arthritis is caused by deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint that results in subsequent inflammation. Additionally, there is a less common form of gout that is caused by the formation of rhomboidal shaped crystals of calcium pyrophosphate. This form of gout is known as pseudogout.

Did you try Aptana Studio ?
It's not the fastest around but imo for web dev it's awesome.

Update: Although Microsoft's page claims that Blend will be integrated with Visual Studio, we areinformed by Microsoft's XAML tool developers that this is not in fact the case, and Blend will remain as a standalone product, albeit one that is bundled with Visual Studio.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 00:17
Come on Microsoft. This is utterly moronic.
These tools should have been baked into Visual Studio from the start. It's annoying as hell to have a better XAML *designer* in one app, and a better XAML *editor* in another, trying to work on the same file simultaneously.

I did for a long time, it's one of the best Eclipse mods I've seen, although it's a bit intrusive for my liking (it's better to install the full version rather than the Eclipse plugin version). A couple of months ago I started using Netbeans. I was quite pleasantly surprised by it's PHP/HTML/JS/CSS support. It seems quite a lot faster than Eclipse as well.

Microsoft annoys me the way they'll release a nice piece of software one year and then kill it off the next. Be consistent Microsoft.

Quick View
Gres de VosgesA rich riff on traditional Munster, which has been made since around 850 A.D. when local monasteries developed the cheese with regular beer baths in their cellars. This ultra-meaty version, produced by Fromi, is a tad lighter in flavor than traditional, hair-curling Munster, and it's washed and aged in the cellar of a vineyard, much like its forebears. Under its straw-yellow exterior that's marked with a telltale fern leaf, dig into its semi-soft, tacky paste and spread on crusty rye bread with smoked ham and pickles for a holy, hearty repast—don't forget to pour a mug of Trappist Ale to swig along side it.

Forests.org, a project of EcoInternet
June 23, 2013
HSBC is the world's third largest public bank, with operations in 80 countries, that markets its social and environmental commitment. This nearly US$3 trillion dollar bank, that makes $22 billion in profits a year, has earned around $130 million from funding rainforest ecocide. The bank provides financial services to companies suspected of rainforest bribery and corruption, such as Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud of Sarawak. Such support contradicts HSBC's forest policy and environment standards, which require dropping clients not operating to the standard of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). None of HSBC's forestry clients are FSC certified, a 100% compliance failure, illustrating yet again how FSC is used to greenwash industrial forestry. Sarawak's loggers, flush with cash from their timber grab, have expanded to many of the world's remaining old-growth forests, where they demonstrate similar contempt for the local environment, laws, and the rights of forest-dependent communities.
Time is running out to conserve the 20% of the world's primary and old-growth forests that remain in a pristine state, providing crucial local and global ecosystem services. Industrial-scale logging in tropical forests cannot be both ecologically and economically sustainable. Successive rounds of harvesting quickly degrade fragile ecosystems until commercial value for natural timber and conservation is considered so low that that it is cleared and converted to plantations. HSBC has said it will conduct an audit of its relationships with logging companies to see whether its lending has violated the bank's environmental policy. They need some prompting to end forever their funding of old-growth forest logging.

HSBC must end all funding of old-growth logging immediately
Your Message:
Douglas Flint Group Chairman, HSBC Holdings plc
Stuart Gulliver Group Chief Executive
Dear Mr. Fling and Mr. Gulliver,
HSBC has earned tens of millions of US dollars financing the destruction of rainforests and invasion of indigenous land in the Malaysian state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo. You have capitalized the industry and profited significantly from what has been called the "Malaysian timber mafia", which now threatens virtually all the world's remaining old-growth forests, profoundly harming local livelihoods, climate, and the global biosphere. I am writing to demand that HSBC immediately stop all funding of logging of any sort in old-growth forests.
I demand that HSBC make an unambiguous commitment that you will never bankroll companies logging or clearing natural tropical or other primary forests, and then put credible measures in place to show its customers and shareholders that it is serious about delivering on that commitment.
This will require that HSBC immediately cease all commercial relationships with forest and plantation companies Ta Ann, Shin Yang, Sarawak Oil Palms, and WTK, who have failed to meet HSBC's "Forest Land and Forest Product Sector Policy". It is inadequate to engage Proforest, who has a strong bias towards greenwashing industrial rainforest logging as sustainable, when in fact old-growth logging is always ecocidal and must end if we are to sustain our shared biosphere.
Time is running out to conserve the 20% of the world's primary and old-growth forests that remain in a pristine state, providing crucial local and global ecosystem services. Industrial-scale logging in tropical forests cannot be both ecologically and economically sustainable. Successive rounds of harvesting quickly degrade fragile ecosystems until the commercial value for natural timber and conservation is considered so low that what remains is cleared and converted to plantations.
Please ensure that HSBC ends forever their funding of old-growth forest logging. The world is watching and HSBC's image and profitability are at risk unless you end your involvement in old-growth forest logging immediately.
With grave concern,

Every year during the last weekend in January the Barcelonian neigborhood of Gràcia celebrates the Traditional Party of Mallorcan festival of Sa Pobla in honor of Mallorca's patron saint of animals and farmers, San Antoni Abad.
It`s a festival of arts and entertainment that originated on the island of Mallorca which is part of the balearic islands.
Gràcia's plazas fill with colourful processions and red devils. Everyone gathers around open bonfires and dance to Malloran folk instruments.
On Friday, concerts begin at 10pm in the Centre Artesá Tradicionarius (CAT) with unique performances from some traditional Mallorcan groups. The festivals main events take place from 11am on the 30th with artisan markets, typical food and drink, castellers (towering over the crowds), lively parades, carrefocs and customary dances. The bonfire is finally lit at 11pm and the celebrations continue on into the night. In addition, until 28 February, the CAT and the Ayuntamiento de Gràcia show a collective exhibition combining the work of 30 new and established Mallorcan artists.

HURLBURT FIELD — At the Air Force Special Operations School, one course draws more students than any other.
See photos from the school. >>
Read about Reporter Lauren Reinlie's experience firing a sniper rifle. >>
It's not just the arsenal of foreign weapons that piques interest, or the live fire demonstrations with Molotov cocktails and other explosives, or shooting up old cars and blasting bullets into glass.
Each year about 700 students go through the weeklong course to learn about terrorism — its forms and tactics and the threats it poses — to gain knowledge that could save their lives downrange.
"Terrorism is out there," said Special Agent Randy Metzger, director of the Dynamics of International Terrorism course. "This is about indentifying some common tactics that have been used over time and ring true still today and teaching students to be able to break the planning cycle of a terrorist incident."
Metzger said the course is geared primarily toward newer service members or those who are in fields where they don't have experience with anti-terrorism but may be required to deploy to areas where it is common. Department of Defense civilians also attend to prepare for overseas jobs.
Students hear from a wide variety of experts during the week.
One day, they visit the shooting range; the school boasts the largest collection of foreign non-standard weapons in the Air Force.
Students get to handle or even fire some of their enemies' weapons of choice, from AK-47s to shoulder-mounted rocket-propelled grenade launchers. Instructors also demonstrate how bullet proof vests and glass respond to different ammunition.
One lesson: Don't just duck behind the metal frame of a car; bullets will travel straight through. Instead, use the engine block or rims of the wheels as cover.
Students learn how to search cars for bombs, how to spot potential improvised explosive devices hidden in dirt pathways and how different explosives are built and detonate, including the long-used bottle-based bomb known as the Molotov cocktails.
Students are visited by terrorism survivors, including the course's longest-standing speaker — Army Gen. James Dozier, who was kidnapped in 1981 and held for 41 days by the Red Brigade, one of Europe's most feared and bloody terrorist organizations. Survivors of plane hijackings, bombings and the 9/11 terrorist attacks also have taught lessons.
"We bring in actual victims to give their personal accounts: what happened, what led up to it, what were the indicators they missed that might have helped prevent it, and how they made it through, how they survived," Metzger said.
Students are taught what to look for in their surroundings and how to decrease their vulnerability to attack.
More than 25,000 students have attended the course since it began in 1977. Metzger hopes they take away at least one nugget they can use.
"I don't expect them to be experts on terrorism, but hopefully something in any one of the classes they get will remain with them and protect them or their teammates downrange," he said.

Depends what the actual story is, which the OP barely gave details on. What I described helps mitigate. (BTW, you responded to my original message prior to a bit of editing)
To prevent offline attacks, the only real "solution" is to manage the machines with BitLocker, a TPM, and Network Unlock.
A BIOS System password is only effect against "some" computers with properly designed firmware. A large majority that I've encountered do not block the F12 (or equivalent) firmware/BIOS boot menus even if a System password is present, including some of Dell's business line machines. Only some actually require authentication if a system password is present. I have some Precision workstations that do intrusion detection great, but only a BIOS user password will prevent a user from calling on the boot menu (and of course block them from using the computer at all without support). I don't believe any vendor is 100% consistent across their motherboard models when it comes to securing its BIOS/Firmware boot menu.
Also, when properly managed, "BitLocker+TPM+Network Unlock" is the better solution than any firmware block or physical lockdown because it requires the end user actually have technical skills. They need to have successful online attacks before an offline attack becomes possible. At this point most failures will be the result of desktop mismanagement.
Obviously it's a bit trickier on mobile systems, as Network Unlock likely becomes impossible and you have to replace it with +PIN/+USB.

Zensah Fresh Legs Argyle Compression Socks 18 18
Love These Zensah Socks! My doctor recently suggested I start wearing compression socks help keep my legs from swelling. All I could think of was those awful things all the old folks wear -- until I saw these -- compression socks with flair! I am a male, 5'9'' with size 11-4E feet, and a relatively long lower leg for my height. I purchased the blue/green socks in Large, and, if I'm careful to stretch them well when I put them on, they fall about an inch below the tibial tuberosity -- the bony prominence at the top of the shin, just below the knee -- and comfortably above the widest part of the calf, even after washing according to instructions. They stay put. I have used them for extended day hikes, and have not had to readjust them. The socks seem well-made. Even though I pull and tug to put them on they do not seem to have weakened, even after several washings. They are wonderfully soft and comfortable, and seem to provide just the right support. My legs feel revitalized. Thank you, TravelSmith, for offering them at such a reasonable price! October 27, 2013
Pink Socks These socks are good compression socks with the added bonus of color and argyle. I ordered my size according the chart but needed the next larger size to comfortably fit my foot. The leg compression was fine. May 6, 2013
comfortable, nice looking Bought these for an upcoming flight. Have worn them a few times to try them out. Nice fit around the calves. Just a tad long up by the knee so I don't pull them up so tight & that works. They stay put, don't bunch up, don't compress unequally. They feel good and do what they're supposed to do. I like the argyle look. Actually got on to buy another pair & saw mixed reviews so wanted to add mine. Will get a pr. for hubby too as he likes argyles too. I machine wash & air dried them without a problem. November 16, 2013
The quality(of the socks) was great but they did not fit me. I have large calves and they were very tight. I am also tall (5"11") and they did not go to my knees. January 13, 2014
travel with ease These feel comfortably snug, and the white with pink and black argyle is cute. I plan to wear them for a long distance flight to keep my legs and feet from swelling. They feel more comfortable than a lot of compression socks because they really do what they say in terms of compression and hugging the foot, and yet they aren't too tight, and I have large calves. The only thing is I haven't washed them yet. I shan't put them in a dryer, and I hope they don't shrink, like a lot of socks do. They are so comfortable I would wear them even at home, because of the way they are knitted around the foot. July 9, 2013
high quality compression socks I chose these socks because they do not have wool in the blend. Wore them on a 7+ hour flight and arrived with no ankle or foot swelling. My concerns about itchiness were unwarranted; the socks are comfortable and not too hot on an airplane. The only downside is that for a hour or so after I took them off, I had the diamond argyle pattern pressed into my skin, which makes for an 'interesting' look with shorts and sandals. March 18, 2014
Best buy - definitely getting more. Felt good circulation, no swelling of ankles during flight across Nation! I have large feet, so I order next size up for better foot fit. I fold top over smoothing any wrinkles as little long, feels great on leg. Liked this design and fit so much, bought two more. They are all I use now for car or plane, any travel! I am allergic to rubber latex, these are latex free -- best buy ever. May 22, 2013
Great Socks for Flying I wore these on a nine hour flight from Italy and had no problem with my feet swelling during that flight or the rest of the long travel day. I would recommend these to anyone who has problems with feet swelling during flights. These socks put an end to that and you will arrive at your destination in comfort (worked for me).

A LAKE District boat is to join a thousand-strong fleet sailing in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee procession on the Thames this summer.
One of Windermere's well-worn wooden tourist vessels has been selected by Royal organisers to take part in the event – the largest flotilla in modern times.
More than two million people are expected to watch from the embankments of the Thames as the seven-mile procession steers through London waters.
Cumbria's own aptly-named participant, The Queen of the Lake, owned by Windermere Lake Cruises, is currently being repainted and refurbished for the spectacular, on Sunday, June 3.
The flotilla will be led by Her Majesty the Queen and other members of the Royal family aboard a barge called The Spirit of Chartwell.
It will sail under 14 bridges, alongside groups of narrow boats, historic vessels including World War Two ships from the Dunkirk beaches and replica Tudor ships.
Managing director of Windermere Lake Cruises Nigel Wilkinson said: "We are delighted Cumbria will be represented at such a high-profile, patriotic event which will inevitably strike a cord with the whole country as we celebrate her Majesty the Queen and her 60-year reign together.
"We hope to be able to involve the wider Cumbria community in this project and to give some younger Cumbrians a day out that they will remember for the rest of their lives."
Boat building manager Alex Williamson and operations manager Russell Bowden will lead the team south for the patriotic event.
Windermere skipper Ron Walker will captain the boat on the day itself.
The 15-metre tourist boat, built in 1949, will be hoisted out of the water at Ambleside and driven almost 300 miles by lorry before it is launched on the Thames.
It is a reversal of the ship's initial northern voyage, 60 years ago, when she was transported to Windermere from the Thames-side town of Molsey, where she was built.
It is not the first time the Queen of the Lake has been given a Royal mark of approval. In March 2010 it carried the Prince of Wales when he visited the Lake District.
BBC Radio 1 DJ's Chris Moyles and Greg James are packing their bags early and taking their shows to Carlisle a week before Radio 1's Big Weekend.
The pair will broadcast their shows live from Cumbria from Monday (May 9) to Friday (May 13) when they arrive a week ahead of the main event. In addition to their daily shows, Chris, Greg and their teams will be getting out and about in the city and surrounding areas, meeting the residents and celebrating all that Carlisle has to offer.
The pair will immerse themselves in the local community for a whole week, and they also plan to meet the city's students in a Q&A session during the week.
Chris Moyles says: "The Big Weekend is always the highlight of my year and I'm so excited that we get to go up to Carlisle for a whole week beforehand and settle in before everyone else arrives. I'm hoping the good people of Carlisle are going to show us a good time!''
Greg James adds: "I'm really looking forward to this year's Big Weekend and to bring my show live from Carlisle. Chris and I will be out and about meeting the locals during the week and I'm hoping we can experience the best of the city!"
BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend is the UK's biggest free ticketed festival and 40,000 lucky music fans will be able to enjoy performances across four stages at Carlisle Airfield where the event is taking place – the Main Stage; the In New Music We Trust Stage; the Outdoor Stage and the BBC Introducing Stage. This year's artists include, Lady Gaga, Foo Fighters, The Black Eyed Peas, Tinie Tempah and Ellie Goulding.
A truly multiplatform experience, Radio 1's Big Weekend will be broadcast on Radio 1, with a major interactive presence online and many live performances available to watch on demand. There will be highlights on BBC Three and extended performances can be seen via BBC Red Button on digital TV during the weekend.

Virginia Capital Semester offers qualified students from VCU and other universities the opportunity to experience an internship in the state government while continuing their studies on a full-time basis through course work at VCU. Internships are arranged with the legislative and executive branches of Virginia government, and with the advocacy and lobbying organizations associated with the state government. The program is offered in the spring semester and begins the first week of January, corresponding with the calendar of the Virginia General Assembly.
The select group of students participating in the program will assemble weekly in a policy-making seminar, GVPA 423, to hear from key leaders at the Capitol and to compare experiences from their various internship placements. Students will receive three credits for the seminar, and three credits and a $1,000 stipend for GPVA 494, the internship. Both courses are required of all students in the Virginia Capital Semester. Additional related courses taken from the VCU curriculum are recommended. Given the demands of the internship, however, students should not exceed a total of 15 credit hours during the Virginia Capital Semester. The program is designed for full-time students, but if space is available, students who do not wish to take a full course load may be allowed to enroll in the internship and policy-making seminar for six credits.
The program is open to all undergraduate students from accredited colleges and universities, both public and private, including those from colleges and universities in other states. Virginia Capital Semester also is open to graduate students on a case-by-case basis. Acceptance into the program is competitive. Program participants are selected by a committee comprised of faculty members and state officials, with preference given to full-time students who will have advanced sophomore, junior or senior standing at the time of enrollment in the program. Contact information, application procedures and deadlines are available on the Virginia Capital Semester Web site: www.vcu.edu/capitalsemester/about.html.

Engle has what's called gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. It's a digestive disorder that occurs when a muscle at the end of the esophagus (the tube that carries food from mouth to stomach) doesn't close properly. This allows stomach contents to leak back — or reflux — into the esophagus and irritate it.
This can cause a burning sensation in the chest or throat often referred to as heartburn. Sometimes, people will taste stomach fluid in the back of the mouth. When these symptoms occur more than twice a week, it's likely to be GERD. Some people can also have GERD without having heartburn. Their symptoms can include a dry cough, asthma symptoms or trouble swallowing.
Engle's heartburn symptoms became so severe that she ended up going to the hospital emergency department more than once, thinking she was having a heart attack.
"They told me that they see this in the emergency department all the time, that GERD can mimic a heart attack," she says. "I do have heart problems, so they told me if I ever have any chest pain, it's best to go to the emergency department so they can figure out what's causing it.
"The last episode was pretty bad, so I went in for an endoscopy," Engle continues, referring to an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), a procedure that uses a lighted, flexible "scope" to look inside the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
Of the estimated 20 percent of Americans who have chronic GERD, like Engle, 10 to 15 percent will develop Barrett's esophagus. This is concerning because Barrett's is a premalignant (precancerous) condition that increases the risk of developing esophageal adenocarcinoma, a type of cancer that's increasing faster than any other in the United States today. It's also one of the most deadly cancers, with only a 15 percent survival rate after five years. And individuals with Barrett's have a 44 to 220 times greater chance of developing esophageal cancer than the general population.
"The lifetime risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma for someone with Barrett's esophagus is on the order of three to five percent for every ten years they have Barrett's," says Dr. Conti. "Without Barrett's, the chance of having esophageal cancer is extremely rare."
"I had never heard of Barrett's before," Engle admits. "Learning all this was a little scary."
The good news, however, is that today there is a minimally invasive procedure called radiofrequency ablation (RFA) that not only removes the abnormal cells of Barrett's but also allows normal cells to regrow. Using the BARRXTM RF Ablation System, doctors can remove the Barrett's tissue in an outpatient endoscopic procedure that generally takes less than 30 minutes. Eisenhower is the only hospital in the valley to offer this non-surgical treatment that has a nearly 100 percent success rate in eradicating Barrett's esophagus tissue.
"Before this treatment became available, patients with Barrett's esophagus were followed on a surveillance protocol, or 'watchful waiting,'" Dr. Conti explains. "After their initial diagnosis, we'd repeat their EGD a year later and biopsy their esophagus for abnormal cells to see if there was any advancement to lowgrade dysplasia."
Dysplasia refers to unusual changes in the cells that are pre-cancerous. Lowgrade dysplasia is when these changes do not involve most of the cells. High-grade dysplasia is the most advanced stage of dysplasia with unusual changes in many of the cells and a very abnormal, distorted growth pattern.
The problem with surveillance and biopsy, however, is undersampling. Because it's not feasible to biopsy the entire esophagus, abnormal cells could be missed. "It's like having a driveway with 1,000 paver stones and choosing only 10 to examine," says Dr. Conti.
"If there was advancement, then we'd do more intense monitoring every six months to a year until it progressed to high-grade dysplasia," he continues. "In these cases, the only treatment we could offer was esophagectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the esophagus, which resulted in extremely poor quality of life."
With the RFA treatment, however, the abnormal cells can be eradicated, preventing progression from low-grade to high-grade dysplasia, or from highgrade dysplasia to esophageal cancer — results that have been documented in clinical studies.
Engle has Barrett's esophagus with lowgrade dysplasia. She has undergone two RFA treatments so far and will have a third procedure in November (most patients require two to three treatments).
"We're seeing significant regression of the abnormal cells — 90 percent — after her first two treatments," says Dr. Conti.
"The procedure wasn't bad," reports Engle. "I had some chest discomfort and difficulty swallowing for a couple of days afterward, but nothing I hadn't experienced before [with GERD]. So I just consumed liquids and took some pain medication for a few days, which alleviated any discomfort."
Engle also is taking a prescription medication called a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that suppresses the production of stomach acid to keep her GERD symptoms under control.
Dr. Conti urges anyone over age 50 who has chronic GERD symptoms to have a baseline endoscopy to screen for Barrett's esophagus.
"There's a big percentage of the population who are self-diagnosing their GERD and taking over-the-counter PPIs on their own," he says. "Within this group are people with significant reflux who aren't getting appropriate management. They really should talk to their doctor about having a screening endoscopy."
"You have to be very careful, because when Barrett's tissue changes the lining of the esophagus to mimic stomach cells, sometimes people may not feel the symptoms of reflux," cautions Dr. Conti. "So it's really important to get screened."
Are You a Candidate for RFA Treatment?
You are a likely candidate for this non-surgical treatment if:

It is known that the area of the largest equilateral triangular
section of a cube is 140sq cm. What is the side length of the cube?
The distances between the centres of two adjacent faces of another
cube is 8cms. What is the side length of this cube? Another cube
has an edge length of 12cm. At each vertex a tetrahedron with three
mutually perpendicular edges of length 4cm is sliced away. What is
the surface area and volume of the remaining solid?
This article outlines the underlying axioms of spherical geometry giving a simple proof that the sum of the angles of a triangle on the surface of a unit sphere is equal to pi plus the area of the triangle.
A spider is sitting in the middle of one of the smallest walls in a
room and a fly is resting beside the window. What is the shortest
distance the spider would have to crawl to catch the fly?

I was after something featuring the Punisher that no one else had so I decided to make my own hat to wear and this was the end result:
Very simple to make, just a plain black hat (which was rather hard to find in my size...) with a Punisher Iron on patch from Hottopic. Simply place the patch where you want it and iron it on. After ironing the patch stays on really tight and even "loosens" and bends around the hat instead of having an odd straight edge where the patch is. The holes uptop also allow me to add other things such as spikes, etc. I am pleased with the end result and its comfortable to wear.
