Germany's Next Female Chancellor?
Any 'Hannelore for Chancellor' campaign is still a long way away.
2:59 PM, Jul 16, 2010 • By ULF GARTZKE
On Wednesday, Hannelore Kraft became minister-president of North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany's most populous state, with a minority coalition government between her left-wing SPD party and the Greens. To get herself elected, the 49-year-old SPD politician – a trained economist who previously served as minister of Science and Research in a similar regional Red-Green government during 2002-2005 – opted for a minority government dependent on the radical Left Party, whose 11 MPs abstained in the second round of voting, thus handing Kraft's coalition the required simple 90 - 80 vote over the center-right CDU-FDP parties that lost power in the May 2010 state elections.
Hannelore Kraft
During her campaign, Kraft always emphasized that it was imperative to form "a stable government" for North-Rhine Westphalia and its 18 million inhabitants (the state is more populous than the country that's next door, Holland). Notwithstanding her commitment to stability, Kraft shrewdly avoided ruling out any future coalition options, thus leaving the door open for some type of formal or informal cooperation with the Left Party. Kraft's decision to forge a Red-Green minority government tolerated by the post-Communists immediately drew massive criticism from the ruling CDU/CSU-FDP coalition in Berlin. Chancellor Merkel accused Kraft of "a massive breach of faith," stating bluntly that "you can't trust a government like that."
For embattled Chancellor Merkel, Kraft's election, following the defeat of the CDU-FDP government in North-Rhine Westphalia, is both politically difficult and embarrassing. The most immediate and significant consequence is that the leader of Germany's ruling center-right coalition has lost control over the Bundesrat, the parliament's upper chamber. The Bundesrat is composed of representatives from the 16 German "Laender" (states) and plays a crucial role because it approves more than 40 percent of all laws passed by the lower chamber, the Bundestag.
As a result, the potential for a domestic political logjam in Berlin has just increased considerably, making it tempting for the populist SPD party leader, Sigmar Gabriel, to try and pursue the type of "Blockadepolitik" that had already doomed former Chancellor Helmut Kohl during his last years in office in the late 1990s. Prior to a major constitutional reform in 2006, the Bundesrat approved more than 60 percent of all German laws. Furthermore, it was the SPD's historic defeat in regional elections in North-Rhine Westphalia five years ago that prompted then-Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder to call for early elections. Several months later, his Red-Green coalition was swept from power, mainly due to record unemployment and unpopular economic reforms.
For reasons already outlined in a previous posting, I am pretty convinced that the current CDU/CSU-FDP government will serve out the remainder of its term until 2013, in spite of all the recent political difficulties arising from lack of strong leadership as well as frequent coalition infighting. Of course, whether the leader of that center-right coalition is still the same three years from now is an entirely different (but infinitely more intriguing) question.
That being said, one should not overlook the fact that Hannelore Kraft's election as chief executive of Germany's most-populous state could also have important political ramifications that go beyond swinging the balance of power in the Bundesrat. Very importantly, the rising fortunes of Hannelore Kraft (her last name aptly translates as "power" in German) are also bound to affect the balance of power within the SPD as the country's main opposition party. Until now, SPD chairman Sigmar Gabriel – who, like his mentor Gerhard Schroeder, combines a strong populist streak with killer political instincts – has been regarded as the undisputed front runner to take on incumbent Chancellor Merkel in the next general elections. A second potential challenger, Frank Steinmeier, Merkel's technocratic foreign minister and vice chancellor in her CDU/CSU-SPD "Grand Coalition" during 2005-2009 – is now the SPD's rather isolated Bundestag leader and cannot count on the support of the party's rank and file members.

How to implement individual approaches, such as CPOE, bar coding, and smart pumps. Implementation problems with electronic prescribing systems and unintended consequences arising from the implementation of such systems have been well documented (Ash et al., 2004; Han et al., 2005; Berger and Kichak, 2004; Koppel et al., 2005; Fernando et al., 2004). Guidance manuals are needed to help all stakeholders implement these systems successfully. In particular, more research is needed to understand the specific challenges that exist for institutions of different sizes and different staffing models (Kuperman and Gibson, 2003).
How to link the various individual applications (CPOE, bar coding, and smart pumps) together and with electronic health records and the patient's personal health record. A better understanding is needed of how to ensure that data can pass seamlessly from one application to another, and that the data are interpreted in a consistent way across all applications.
New approaches to improve the safety of transitions between providers and patient care units, and especially as the patient leaves the hospital. Most current prevention strategies are applied in one particular care setting. Transitions from one provider to another are error prone (Forster et al., 2003). Applications need to be developed that can keep all a patient's providers (inpatient and outpatient prescribers, pharmacists) up to date when any one of the prescribers or the patient changes the patient's medication or the pharmacist learns that the patient has failed to fill a particular prescription.
Although CPOE with clinical decision support has been implemented successfully in many acute care hospitals, there are few descriptions of its use in the long-term care setting (Rochon et al., 2005). Use of the technology in nursing homes poses many challenges, and its effectiveness in preventing medication errors and ADEs in this setting needs to be assessed. The impact of staffing levels on medication errors and preventable ADEs in the nursing home setting also has not been adequately studied, nor have deficiencies in communication between nursing home staff and the clinicians accountable for prescribing medications.
Many approaches to medication safety derive from the inpatient setting, and it is not clear to what extent these approaches are transferable to the ambulatory setting. For example, instruments used to assess the safety climate for the ambulatory setting lag far behind those for the inpatient setting (Nieva and Sorra, 2003). Tools for such assessment for a full range

Ultra fine tire!
By Eric
from Southern Colorado
These tires combine excellent road feel and durability. Plus they look cool! If I could only have one tire this would be it. There are racier tires out there, but for real world day to day mileage, hacking it out on trashed roads, Gatorskins cannot be beat.

Second set, plan on buying more
By Retired but riding
from Peeled Chestnut, TN
Ride 80 to 100 mpw in good weather and at least once a week in winter. Gatorskins take the worry out of being by yourself and several miles from home. Love not having flats
I'd sure buy these tires again.

I use these tires for training, and organized tour, and races.
Love the Gatorskin
By Stupendous Man
from Salt Lake City
Cut the number of flats that I was getting way down to almost 0.
Solid performer
By Brad
from Columbus, OH
After first 3 rides, very pleased with the performance of this tire. It mutes and rolls smoothly over cracked blacktop surfaces and has a confident feel. It is more expensive than the average tire, but I expect it to perform better and last longer.

It depends on where you look whether the small business picture is half empty or half full. iStockphoto
Pick your poison, or rather, indicator of small-business sentiment, because surveys and other indicators are all over the map.
Consider, this morning, HSBC is out with its semiannual survey of small-business sentiment across the globe. According to that survey, conducted in May and June, small businesses around the world are feeling pretty good about their prospects.
Of course, they're feeling better in developing countries than in mature economies such as North America and the European Union. But still, those business owners aren't feeling so bad even in North America.
Overall, HSBC's index of small-business confidence in 21 markets climbed to 118 in the second quarter, up from 111 in the fourth quarter of 2009.
That's a nice jump, but what about the picture a little closer to home?
Well, HSBC's index for North America climbed to 119 from 107. So if that latest survey is any indicator, small businesses in the U.S. and Canada are feeling better about their prospects.
That fits pretty well with a survey of economists released earlier this week by the National Association of Business Economics.
That survey shows 31 percent of businesses added to their payrolls in the second quarter of this year, while 14 percent cut jobs. It's a dramatic reversal from the depths of the recession in the second quarter of 2009, when only 6 percent of businesses added workers and 36 percent were cutting jobs.
Further, the survey shows 39 percent of businesses expect to add workers, the highest level since January 2008, near the beginning of a recession that has driven the U.S. unemployment rate to its current level of 9.5 percent.

Our thoughts are with the families and communities in Alabama and Georgia that have been affected by the severe storms and tornados that have ripped through the region this evening and continue to impact the southern states.
Through our regional office in Atlanta, GA we have been in close contact and coordination with state emergency management officials, as they work tirelessly to meet the immediate needs of disaster survivors.
When natural disasters, such as severe storms and tornados, strike, the first responders are local emergency and public works personnel, volunteers, humanitarian organizations, and numerous private interest groups who provide emergency assistance required to protect the public's health and safety and to meet immediate human needs.
This evening, President Obama signed an emergency declaration for Alabama, providing federal support to state and local response efforts.
- The President's action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all federal disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in all 67 counties in the State of Alabama.
- Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency. Emergency protective measures, limited to direct Federal assistance, will be provided at 75 percent Federal funding.
- At the request of the state of Alabama, FEMA is deploying a liaison officer to the state emergency operations center to assist in coordination efforts as the state continues to respond and begins to recover from this devastating storm outbreak.
More severe weather is forecasted throughout the south, so make sure you're taking steps to stay safe before, during, and after the storm:
- Follow the instructions of state and local officials,
- Listen to local radio or TV stations for updated emergency information,
- Make sure you have a safe place to go in case severe weather approaches,
- Familiarize yourself with severe weather watch/warning terms
- Severe Thunderstorm Watch: Tells you when and where severe thunderstorms are likely to occur. Watch the sky and stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information.
- Severe Thunderstorm Warning: Issued when severe weather has been reported by spotters or indicated by radar. Warnings indicate imminent danger to life and property to those in the path of the storm.
- Tornado Watch: Tornadoes are possible. Remain alert for approaching storms. Watch the sky and stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information.
- Tornado Warning: A tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. Take shelter immediately.
For complete tips on getting prepared for a tornado, severe storm, or flooding, visit Ready.gov or our mobile site (m.fema.gov).

Lehigh County assessments are long overdue. It will not change your tax bills unless your property deteriorated or improved in selling value. It should be done for no other reason than to equally share the tax burden that we all bear from living in this county. We all know that to get services from a county, that county needs to collect taxes to pay for those services.
The county assesses all the property values in the county and then divides it by the taxes required to come up with a millage rate to charge each property. Therefore, they raise the tax revenues needed but fairly and evenly distribute them among each property owner. Unfortunately as prices have dropped and individual large businesses have had their properties reassessed, it has distorted the tax base and now it is not even.

Al-Shabaab militants have returned to Twitter with a new account, less than two weeks since they were suspended after threatening to execute Kenyan hostages and posting grim photographs of a French commando they had killed.
"For what it's worth, shooting the messenger & suppressing the truth by silencing your opponents isn't quite the way to win the war of ideas!" al-Shabaab posted on Twitter on Sunday (February 3rd).
Al-Shabaab officials on Monday confirmed that the account, @HSMPRESS1, was genuine, AFP reported.
Twitter warns that accounts can be suspended if they violate its rules, which include the publishing of "direct, specific threats of violence against others", according to regulations posted on its website.
Users are also blocked if they use Twitter "for any unlawful purposes or in furtherance of illegal activities".
Al-Shabaab's previous English-language account had more than 20,000 followers.

Background: This study investigated the effectiveness of brief psychotherapeutic group interventions in reducing dysfunctional fear of disease progression (FoP). The interventions comprised either cognitive-behavioral group therapy or supportive-experiential group therapy. We tested whether these generic interventions would prove effective in different illness types. Methods: Chronic arthritis in- patients (n = 174) and cancer in-patients (n = 174), respectively, were randomized to receive one of the two interventions. The patients provided data before intervention, at discharge, and at 3 and 12 months of follow-up. FoP was the primary outcome, secondary outcomes were anxiety, depression and quality of life. A treatment-as-usual control group provided data on the primary outcome. Results: Patients with chronic arthritis indicated higher levels of FoP than cancer patients. The results revealed that, compared with no specialized intervention, both group therapies were effective in reducing dysfunctional FoP, but only among cancer patients. The effect sizes were 0.54 (cognitive-behavioral therapy) and 0.50 (supportive experiential therapy). The interventions were not differently effective in reducing the secondary outcomes. Conclusions: Dysfunctional FoP can be effectively targeted with brief group interventions. Psychotherapeutic interventions for reducing FoP should focus on specific illness characteristics.

Dual Sport - The Unexpected Passion
Latest blog post on Spirit Strike. Check it out!
How many of you started out street riding first and then started dual sport?
I went the other direction. Started on dirt in 3rd grade, then got a honda 200 reflex street legal trials bike at 16. Kept riding almost exclusively dirt until more recently. Never owned an actual street bike, figured the only way to have fun on tarmac involved a lot of tickets and a good chance of getting killed.
Ironically, I have been hurt more offroad than on.
Same here. I had 7 street bikes before I got a Klr. The first time I got off road with the Klr I couldn't stop laughing. I haven't looked back. Tarmac is nice for cars, but for motorcycling, roads are just the things I have to take to get to trails.
The cool thing is you don't have to give up street riding on a dual sport. You get to do both! Our dual sport street riding is still pretty "spirited" even with knobs.
Great article. I really want to get into dual sporting but need to sell my '12 Wee so I can get a small beater dual sport bike. There is an awesome looking DR350se near me in the flea market but I can't do anything until my Wee sells.
At 5'6" 160lb I need a much smaller bike to get on the gravel and dirt. I don't see how people trail ride the big Adventure bikes like I see pictures of. Thinking back to riding dirt bikes as a kid I never once thought "this thing is too big and heavy to be in the woods like this." We just rode the crap out of the bikes and crashed here and there and it wasn't a big deal. I want that experience again.
That said, i have a ton fun with my XR as well and my GS tractor. I think all have their places they shine.:D
Great article. I started on street as well, on a SV650, and was all into the fast knee dragging stuff on the mountain twisty roads for a while. I sold that bike, and got out of street riding all together, mainly because my other passion (auto restoration) was taking up a lot of discretionary cash. Later on, I went completely the other direction and bought an RMZ 250 to trail ride on with my wife and friends. The magic combination of street and trail riding on one bike really tugged at me for a long time, though, so I gave in and bought the KLX. I can honestly say this is the best kind of riding I have ever done. I'm glad to read about others that have basically the exact same thoughts.
Started out in the 70s on a Honda 360 twin street bike and over the years moved up to a 550k, 600 and then 5 Goldwings. I started to feel the weight of the big touring bike last year and switched out to a 650 Strom.
Moved to Vancouver Island a few years ago and noticed all the Dual Sports. Decided to try this dirt thing starting with a TW200. I was hooked in short order riding around the mountains.
I now have a CRF250L and am loving it. Trying to get the wife into it now. If she takes it up this spring, I will probably sell the Strom and get another CRF250L or a WR250.
The older I get, the more I am preferring the slower riding on the FSRs and trails and not having to worry about the semi on my rear.
This dirt riding stuff sure gives an old guy a work out as well. Hope to try some bike camping this coming summer.
Loving it.
my '99 has provided me w/ MANY hours/days of GRINNNNNNS!
the world of DS was written around those anvil simple/durable machines
i have had some of most every style/type and the DR aint going away
i am, now, playing w/ a 2wd Ural on back roads and scenic 2-lanes
it pushes the DR in the FUN category
and she doesn't slip/fall down in slimy water crossings
minimalistic camping off the DR is quite doable
you can haul the kitchen sink in the hack
keeping my options OPEN, butt... DS will remain in my vocabulary for a long tyme
may you, all, have many days full of grinnnnns:thumb
swoody, post some pics of that Ural on the trail. That would be cool to see.

In the past few weeks, the attention of the global community has been focused on the pathetic images coming through the media of the victims of drought and famine in the Horn of Africa.
Described by the United Nations as the worst drought to strike the region in 60 years, about 12 million people are said to be affected, with Somalia already experiencing famine due to 2-year cessation of rains. According to statistics by the United States Agency for International Development, (USAID), 3.5 million people face the threat of malnutrition in Somalia, 2.9 million in Ethiopia, 600,000 people in Kenya and 520,000 in Djibouti.
The Somali situation is compounded by decades of political conflict, and made even worse by the ban on foreign aid organizations including food agencies, by the anti-government militia group, Al-shabaab.
Reports also indicate that UN agencies have been stockpiling food aid in the capital Mogadishu, and not distributing it to areas that are in critical need. As a result, thousands of Somalis have crossed over to the neighbouring countries of Kenya and Ethiopia to seek food and shelter. Grim images of starving women and their malnourished children and carcases of their dead livestock tell a pathetic story that should prick the conscience of the rest of the world.
Obviously, more action is definitely required to reverse this trend and check the looming humanitarian disaster in the Horn of Africa. African countries are not doing nearly enough to help. In fact, an earlier report into the problem noted that but for Sudan (North), no other African nation has contributed to the UN effort to help the victims.
Even Kenya had to be pressured before the government there relented and allowed the erection of relief camps to cater to those fleeing. The refugees need shelter, food, water and medical facilities to enable them survive the harsh environments in the camps. These camps have become overcrowded leading to problems of sanitation and anxiety over the spread of communicable diseases.
In the settlements in Kenya about 370,000 people are crammed into an area meant for 90 people. For this reason, the authorities in Kenya are raising fears about security concerns and lack of resources to cater for the large refugee population. The United Nations alone cannot provide for the thousands of refugees who troop into the camps in Ethiopia and Kenya regularly. The African Union must also intervene and make its impact felt.
The drought situation in East Africa should not be left to other members of the international community alone to handle. African countries should do more to ameliorate the suffering of those severely affected by the famine. In the first place since it is shortage of food that is forcing the Somalis to leave their country for elsewhere, the African Union should not only provide food relief inside Somalia, but also facilitate the provision of shelter for them.
The Horn of Africa is prone to perennial drought leaving large swathe of its population often helpless whenever the problem occurs. Although, this challenge is caused by the environment and worsened probably by climate change, it is baffling that governments in the region have not made any significant effort to take counter-measures to minimize the effects of droughts on their peoples.
It is regrettable that because of the long-standing crisis in Somalia, the government has not been stable enough to address the crucial issues of poverty and hunger and the failed country's numerous security challenges.
Unless governments in the region become pro-active in dealing with the problem, the danger of donor-fatigue may take the already serious situation to a new and more dangerous level.
Countries in Africa should study what is happening in the Horn of Africa and take some useful lessons from it. With its large and growing population, Nigeria especially should take the issue of food security serious because its northern region is also susceptible to drought due to desertification.
A major shift towards sustainable mechanized and fadama farming could go a long way to boosting food production and curtailing the need to import food, which is a dangerous path to dependence.

Baton Rouge Adult Day Center Receives 'Excellence in Dementia Care' Status
NEW YORK, NY - The Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA) recently awarded its "Excellence in Care Dementia Program of Distinction" status to Charlie's Place of Baton Rouge, LA for achieving AFA's national standard of excellence for facilities that provide care to individuals with Alzheimer's disease or related illnesses.
Charlie's Place, an adult day center operated by Alzheimer's Services of the Capital Area, is the first dementia care setting in Louisiana and the 14 th in the nation to earn this distinction. AFA believes its comprehensive set of standards reflect the essential components of quality dementia care.
"Receiving the Excellence in Care Distinction lets us know that we are living up to our high standards; it is affirmation that we are an organization to be followed," said Barbara Auten, executive director of Charlie's Place. "To our clients, this recognition means they can trust us to have high quality Alzheimer's care."
Charlie's Place is a social model adult day program that provides cognitive stimulation and social interaction daily to 15 individuals in the mild to moderate stages of Alzheimer's disease. Open since October 2007, the home-like center was designed with attention to color schemes and a layout conducive for individuals with the brain disorder. It features a living room, a therapeutic memory garden and a large kitchen where home-style meals are served. Activities include gardening, reminiscing, music therapy and pet therapy, as well as field trips and community service projects based on a person's cognitive abilities.
In announcing the award, Eric J. Hall, AFA's president and CEO, said: "Charlie's Place should take great pride in knowing that it is providing its community with exceptional care worthy of the Excellence in Care distinction. It is the level of care that all individuals with dementia deserve and that all facilities should strive to achieve."
Introduced in 2006, Excellence in Care is a voluntary program in which AFA-trained Excellence in Care specialists conduct on-site evaluations and work side-by-side with dementia care settings nationwide to comply with its standards and for ongoing performance improvement. The evaluation includes assessing a setting's physical environment, safety procedures, program activities, and training for staff and families.
For more information, visit www.excellenceincare.org or call 866-AFA-8484.
The Alzheimer's Foundation of America is a national nonprofit organization headquartered in New York and made up of more than 1,200 member organizations that provide hands-on programs to meet the educational, emotional, practical and social needs of families. AFA's services include a toll-free helpline, counseling, educational materials, a free caregiver magazine, and professional training. For information, call 866-AFA-8484 or visit www.alzfdn.org.

South America
Yesterday we finally made it to South America. Boris and I had some time to kill before our flight so we went to see the Panama Canal.
Really cool. I was surprised by how fast the locks work. It takes about 8 minutes to fill or drain one so you can watch a ship pass. An interesting comment I heard from the announcer was that the Government of Panama accepts no checks, cheques, IOU's, bank drafts etc. CASH only to pass through the Canal!
Welcome to the Panama Canal
Miraflores Locks
Ship coming through
These little locomotives tug the ship through and keep it from hitting the sides
The Canal has a very good museum that explains how it works how it was constructed etc, with lots of photos, exhibits and even a 3-D movie. We both thought it was well worth going to see.
After the Canal we caught a cab back to the fish market so Boris could try the $2 Cervice (Seafood Chowder) everyone at our hostel was talking about.
The Fish Market
Not being a fish lover I walked back to Old Town and shot this snap along the way. This is a picture of a man excited about going to South America
I had my lunch, pasta and chicken, at this nice little restaurant
Old Town is decorated for Christmas, in 35 degree heat
After lunch we killed a little more time just walking around
They are going to great expense to restore the old town
I liked the Panama hats. Never bought one, no place to put it on the bike.
This is where we had the great pizza the first night in Panama City
One last shot of the City and it was time to go to the airport.
Boris at The Tocumen Panama City Airport
It's a nice airport, even has one of Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville's
I had to have a beer there just so I can say I did.
And before long we were off to Bogata, Colombia, SA
Avianca was using a brand new A320, really nice!
Even had remote control for your TV
And they brought you lunch and a beer for free on an hour and ten minute flight. First time I had a South American beer
The view over the Darien Gap
Before we knew it we were in Bogata, Colombia
We took a cab to a hostel in the Candalaria Distric of Centro after we got checked in we went out for a couple beers at a pub that was charging 70 cents for a great beer, POKER
We went for a walk and came upon a major street that had lots of Christmas lights. It is shut to vehicular traffic and was filled with food vendors serving thousands of people who come to see the lights
Sorry it's a little shaky but I don't carry a tripod
We walked and walked and people watched and tried street foods for supper. I loved this BBQ'd corn
Boris tried some Dulce (Not the dulce that comes from the Bay of Fundy) It is Spanish for sweets
I took this picture of our hostel this morning as we left to get our bikes at the airport
At the airport, it was a long process at Aduana, the guy across from Boris had a great attitude, and we waited in chairs, first time at any border
It was a long process at Girag
Finally we got our bikes
I looked mine over it was all good except I noticed I had a broken subframe bolt. Not Girhags fault I'm sure, most likely broke it on the road to San Juan del Sur or riding through Honduras. ****Note to KLR riders**** Bring spares. I forgot to, but I'm lucky I have a center stand installed and the bolts for the handle you grab for the centersatnd fit perfectly, well almost. They thred through and tighten in the nut welded to the frame.
But they are slightly too long.
When I left Girhag I could here a whining or buzzing sound and realized the bolt I had substituted was rubbing against my chain. Boris and i looked for a garage, or anyone with a hacksaw. At a Texaco we were told just around the next roundabout there was a motorcycle mechanic. In fact there were dozens of bike shops. I don't know how my bike knows to have issues as it's passing a bike shop but I like that about it.
My Colombian mechanics had me on the road in about 20 minutes
Boris was headed south and I'm headed north to Cartagena so we parted ways.
We traveled well together, but we are both solo travellers at heart. We do however hope to meet againg further south and will keep in touch. I am very appreciative of Boris' help organizing a flight etc and wish I could speak Spanish as well as he can. Things would be a lot easier for me down here.
I had a terrible time finding the Northbound Highway out of Bogata and saw a lot of the seedier side of the city but I finally found the "autopista" and I am in a nice hostel tonight run by a mother and daughter who are very nice. They both smile and talk away to me, too bad I don't get much of what they are saying. I am in Chia, just north of Bogata but near the autopista.
The ladies insisted I bring the bike into their house and thought it was funny when I wanted to take a picture of the Moto in the Casa. In fact the daughter wanted to knwo if I wanted her in the picture too, how could I refuse. So here is trusty and my wonderful hosts in the lobby, or more accurately entranceway to the house. I only found this place cause I asked for a hostal at a nearby gas station, there is no sign, I was told to come down this little street and knock at the Porto Blanco (White Door) So I did and I'm here
Trusty with my hosts
Headed towards Cartagena tomorrow. I hope I'll see the guys that actually made the Steel Rat

It's the first time since the Feb. 15 poll that the Tigers have been in the top-10. Missouri still sits in fifth in the latest RPI poll, released last Wednesday. The Tigers are 17-5 this year against team's in the top-50 in RPI.
-The Tigers took game one against No. 16 Oklahoma State on Saturday, while Sunday's contest was rained out. Chelsea Thomas completely shut down the Cowgirls on Saturday, facing just one batter over the minimum in her 10th complete game shutout of the year, improving to 23-4 on the season. She allowed just one hit - an infield single - while striking out 13. Nicole Hudson and Jenna Marston collected two hits each, while Princess Krebs hit her third home run of the season. Sunday's game was postponed due to rain with no makeup date announced at this time.
-With her win over Oklahoma State on Saturday, Chelsea Thomas now has 51 wins for her career, tying her for eighth-most all-time. She also now has 10 solo shutouts this season, matching her career-best from 2009, which is tied for the 10th-most in a single season at MU. After striking out 10 batters against SIUE last Wednesday, Thomas became just the seventh pitcher in school history to reach 500 strikeouts. Now at 283 strikeouts for the season, Thomas is just four away from breaking the single season strikeout record, held by Erin Kalka who struck out 283 batters in 2004.
-Ashley Fleming has set a new career-best in runs batted in after driving home three last week, giving her 47 on the year - one shy of joining the top-10 for RBI's in a season. Last year she drove home 44, and now the 10th-most all-time at Missouri with 107 in her career. She's also tied for the Big 12 lead with 15 doubles, tied for fourth-most in a single season at Missouri and five shy of setting the record.
-Mizzou increased their national-best home winning streak to 33 consecutive games last Wednesday in a 10-0 rout of SIU-Edwardsville. Chelsea Thomas and Kristin Nottelmann combined for a five inning perfect game, the third perfect game for Mizzou this season and 10th in program history. All of the Tigers' 10 runs came in the first three innings, led by Jenna Marston's three RBI and a pair driven in by Ashley Fleming.
-Jenna Marston has drawn 31 walks this season, tying her for sixth-most in a season with Nicole Hudson who reached that total last year. Hudson's 31 walks in 64 games last season was the most on the team, while Marston has already reached that total in just 46 team games. She's four away from moving into second. Jen Bruck's total of 43 walks in 2008 is the current record.
-Abby Vock continued her career-year with yet another home run two weekends ago, delivering the first run of the game in Saturday's 4-1 victory of the Cornhuskers. Entering the season with just two career home runs and a .208 batting average, Vock is hitting an astounding .321 this year with four home runs and 10 RBI. Her on base percentage is more than .100 points higher than her career best at .452, and her slugging percentage is almost .150 points higher than her best year ever at .500. After having just eight hits last season, Vock has 27 this year.
-Rhea Taylor is just seven hits away from 300 in her career, which would make her just the second Big 12 player ever to reach that milestone. She's also two stolen bases shy from jumping into the top-10 for most stolen bases in a season for the fourth time in her career.
-The Tigers have 17 shutouts on the year, 12 of which came the month of March. They are walking just 1.60 batters per seven innings, the best in the conference. The staff's .168 opponent batting average is best amongst Big 12 teams. The team is second in the league in strikeouts per seven innings, as they average 9.45, and is second in the conference with a 1.30 earned run average. The team's 1.04 ERA during conference play is the best in the league.
Western Illinois comes into the doubleheader with 19-23 overall record, but stand in fifth in the Summit League with a 14-10 record. They have won six of their last eight games and just took two out of three from South Dakota State last weekend.
The Leathernecks are strong at the plate, boasting a team batting average of .307. Erin Schlotfeldt leads the team in batting average (.419), home runs (seven), on base percentage (.479) and slugging percentage (.752). Five other regulars in the lineup are hitting over .300, including Jamie Goss, who is hitting .338 with six home runs and a team-high 46 RBI.
Where Western Illinois suffers is in the circle, as they have a team ERA of 5.38. Opponents are hitting .331 against them, and they've walked almost as many batters (144) as they've struck out (167). Hailey Bickford and Kelsey Michelini see the most time at pitcher. Bickford is 9-7 in 30 appearances with a 4.10 ERA, striking out 75 to 42 walks in 107.2 innings pitched. Michelini is 6-11 with a 6.21 ERA in 28 appearances and 23 starts, pitching 106.0 innings with 64 strikeouts and 79 walks.
Missouri holds the series edge with a 23-4 record all-time against WIU. The Tigers have won five straight, which includes a sweep last season in Macomb, Ill. Mizzou won 5-1 in game one and 7-1 in the nightcap.

With their quick 10-0 victory over Southern Illinois-Edwardsville on Wednesday, the Tigers pushed their home winning streak to 33 straight games dating back to last season. Here's a look at the top-five active home winning streaks in Division I softball.
1. Missouri – 33
2. Hofstra – 25
3. Alabama/South Dakota – 20
5. Texas A&M/BYU - 19
Playing at University Field has been a major advantage for the Tigers since head coach Ehren Earleywine took over in 2007. In 121 games played at home under Earleywine, the Tigers have won 104 of them for an .860 winning percentage on their home field. Of their 17 losses, 13 of them came in two combined seasons. In Earleywine's first year the Tigers went 17-7 at home, and in 2009 they went 17-6. In 2008, Mizzou finished 22-1 at home while last year they went 31-3, winning their last 15 home games of the season. So far this year the Tigers are 17-0.
For the third time in four weeks and fifth time this season, redshirt sophomore Chelsea Thomas has been named as the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week, She's won a Big 12 weekly award more times than any other player in the conference, and has now been named Pitcher of the Week seven times in her career.
Thomas led the Tigers to a 2-0 record on the week, as she picked up victories in both games. She threw the first four innings in a five inning game against SIU-Edwardsville on Wednesday, combining with Kristin Nottelmann for the team's third perfect game of the season. She struck out 10 batters in those four innings in Mizzou's 10-0 win. On Saturday, Thomas allowed just one hit – an infield single – in her win against then-No. 16 Oklahoma State. She struck out 13 batters in seven innings and faced just one over the minimum as she didn't allow a single walk. For the week, Thomas posted a 0.00 ERA to go with 23 strikeouts, one hit allowed and zero walks.
The Missouri softball team has announced the addition of Carlie Rose to the 2011 signing class, as she becomes the 10th prep standout to sign a National Letter of Intent with the University of Missouri. Rose will join nine previous signees who signed during the early period as next year's freshman class.

Redshirt sophomore Chelsea Thomas was dominant, facing just one batter over the minimum in her 10th complete game shutout of the year, improving to 23-4 on the season.

Elephant seals do it to charm their mates, bees use it to entice their queen and ogres rely on it for comic relief; no matter who does it, dancing is one of the more popular ways to express emotion. Learn a new way to express yourself and never look stupid at a wedding again with today's grooving Groupon: an introductory social dancing course at Arthur Murray Dance Studios for R687.
If the treadmill gets you all teary or you have less self-confidence than a balding Hare, today's Groupon is the answer to your unrealised whims and lingering woes. The introductory course to social dancing is not only the best way to get fit fast, but it's an amazing confidence booster and way to meet new people. Started over a 100 years ago in the States, the Arthur Murray Dance Studio franchise opened its swinging doors for the first time in South Africa in 1955 and has been leading the dance scene ever since.
Because the average person isn't interested in becoming a championship dancer and just wants to gain enough confidence to get up on the dance floor, the introductory course to social dancing teaches students the basics of eight social dances, namely: the foxtrot, waltz, tango, swing, rumba, samba, mambo and cha-cha. With emphasis on foot positioning, rhythm and timing, and leading and following, the course will have even the most timid of foot-tappers taking over the floor and showing the crowd how to get their groove on.
The course itself consists of four 30-minute lessons, four two-hour socials and two three-hour parties; socials and parties being the opportunity to show off your hip-happening hop while schmoozing with the other movers and shakers.
Whether you twinkle as a talented tango dancer or rock at the rumba, today's Groupon gives you the opportunity to learn a skill that'll last a life-time.Foot-tapping fact: The dance that bees do to entice their queen was adapted for people by a bee-enthusiast/break-dancer Mr E. Bizzle. The dance is similar to a tango with elements of break-dancing and disco, and is very popular in East London night clubs.

NAIROBI (AlertNet) – Isaac Kimani's farm is small, but he believes it holds the key to his country's agrarian future.
One third of Kimani's three-acre plot in Ndeiya, a rain-starved village on the northwest edge of the capital, is covered by a polyethylene-sheet greenhouse.
Kimani believes that greenhouse farming can increase crop yields - an essential goal in a country where the poor are at risk of going hungry - while also protecting the environment and helping Kenya cope with increasingly severe droughts believed associated with climate change.
Kimani says that greenhouses offer environmental advantages over open fields, particularly when farmers use chemicals to increase crop yields.
"In open field farming it is not possible to manage the flow of chemicals and so there could be damage to the environment when fungicides and pesticides are applied irregularly," Kimani said.
"But in a greenhouse, where we apply chemicals through drip irrigation, we are able to control spillage and surface runoff."
Greenhouse technology can also help farmers produce more on a small piece of land, according to Elijah Mwangi, the farm manager at Mang'u Youth Polytechnic in central Kenya. He is training farmers to shift away from rain-fed agriculture.
Even under extreme weather conditions, Mwangi says, a single eight metre by 30 metre greenhouse can generate revenue of 240,000 Kenyan shillings (about $2,600) in one season, more than twice what an average small-scale farmer earns cultivating one acre of land outdoors.
Last month, Mwangi led a team of agronomists at the Mang'u farm in testing the efficiency of greenhouse technology by planting a dozen tomato seedlings inside a greenhouse and another in an open field, both watered with drip irrigation.
"The plants in the open field have already withered because of exposure to erratic weather, pests and diseases," Mwangi says. "We are expecting a good harvest from the plants in the greenhouse in the next few months because they are shielded from changing climatic conditions."
Ian Rector, Africa adaptation programme manager at the United Nations Development Programme, says that an additional advantage of the technology is that it reduces emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs).
"Greenhouse farming prevents GHGs emitted by agrochemicals from escaping into the atmosphere, so this is a better way of (adapting to) climate change in industrial and agricultural sectors," said Rector during a press conference in Nairobi.
However, there are concerns that the technology will not be widely adopted in Kenya unless the government subsidises the cost of constructing greenhouses and invests in irrigation, especially in the arid parts of the country.
Kimani says that erecting a greenhouse is expensive: a greenhouse covering 240 square metres can cost as much as 250,000 shillings (about $2,700) to erect, which puts it beyond the reach of many poor farmers.
"Even when farmers decide to invest in a smaller greenhouse, the cost of buying materials is still very high," Kimani says. "This can tempt them to look for timber which they use as poles to put up the unit. It can stress the forest reserves."
Nevertheless, an initiative by the government and a private horticulture company, Amiran Kenya, is attempting to persuade Kenya's young people to adopt greenhouse farming.
Launched in May with a budget of 88 million shillings (about $943,000), the Kenya Polytechnics Next Generation Farmers Initiative plans to equip the country's 650 youth polytechnics with greenhouses, which Amiran Kenya manufactures.
The idea is to change the perception that agriculture is an occupation for the aging, according to Aileen Kamau, the project leader at the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.
So far 100 polytechnics have been supplied with greenhouse training kits to spur uptake of the technology.
"The youth polytechnics serve as community demonstration centres, where the technology can be transferred to farmers living near the institutions through skills support," Kamau said. "This year we will be investing in the technology in another 150 institutions."
David Njagi is an environmental writer based in Nairobi.

Umpqua Oats All Natural Premium Jackpot Oatmeal 2.53 oz. Cups 12-pack
Item #887684
$2.42 per container
A winning combination of raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and pecans. We're betting you'll love it!
Our oats are custom milled. And that's why our ingredient list doesn't say "oats," it says "groats!" No, that's not a typo. Groats are the whole hulled grain. Groats include the cereal germ and fiber-rich bran portion as well as the endosperm, which is the usual product of milling. What does that mean? You are getting a larger, thicker, unbleached, whole oat that is not processed into "instant" oats. Bottom line? Our oatmeal is not soft and mushy! Like the chefs say, it's "al dente!"
- 2.53 oz. single serve cup
- 12-pack
- Shelf-Life: 9 Months
- Shake well: Make sure to shake the contents well to get all of the ingredients mixed.
- Add hot water: Add hot water so that it is just above the oats about a quarter of an inch. If you like it a little more on the "wet" side then feel free to add more water to taste.
- Cover with lid: I know that you just opened it but it is time to put the lid back on for a bit.
- Steep for three minutes: Let stand covered for 3 minutes to allow the water to be fully absorbed and the oats to soften. If you want a little more on the wet side there will still be a little water left, that's okay.
- Stir well and enjoy!
Allergen information: Manufactured in a facility that uses tree nuts and peanuts. Contains Pecans
Fruit Added: Yes
