We have now looked at both sides of the argument over whether superheroes should have a secret identity or a public persona. There are definitely advantages to both. Some can be beneficial but there are also disadvantages that can be problematic or deadly.
Deciding whether or not to have and maintain a secret identity could be the biggest decision a superhero can make. Depending on the choice, it can begin to define who a superhero is and how they operate. It can also play a factor in what type of costume the hero has, if they even bother to have one.
There have been some exceptions but, for the most part, once an identity is revealed, there's no turning back.
There is another option besides having a secret identity or not having a secret identity. If a superhero was creative enough, they could consider the possibility of having more than one secret identity.
It might sound crazy. Trying to balance a regular identity along with a superhero one could be more than most people could handle. Having different identities could have many benefits.
The first that comes to mind is Moon Knight. Marc Spector was a former U.S. Marine-turned-mercenary that was reborn by the Egyptian God of Vengeance, Khonshu. Marc Spector was who his true identity but it might've been hard for a former merc to find a place and normal life in New York City. With the identity of billionaire Steven Grant, Moon Knight had access to high profile individuals as well as a way to invest and generate money in order to fund his crusade against crime.
It's possible he could gain information at high society parties but he also had another identity that gave him access to street level information. As Jake Lockley, the cab driver, he was out there and built a trust among different individuals. Now Moon Knight is using his Marc Spector identity to act as a Hollywood producer.
With essentially three civilian identities, it would be hard to pin down who Moon Knight really was. If his enemies ever unmasked him or discovered one of his identities, he could sacrifice one and keep the others. When he was being hunted down by Norman Osborn's Thunderbolts and the Commission on Superhuman Activities, 'Marc Spector' was killed off when Moon Knight faked his death (he later turned up in Mexico with the Jake Lockley identity as his main one.
The idea can also be flipped around. A superhero could benefit from having more than one superhero identity. How many times has someone like Spider-Man or Daredevil been noted as patrolling the same area? If a hero had different costumes and names, it wouldn't feel like the hero seen all the time must live in that area.
During the Identity Crisis storyline (in 1998), Spider-Man actually created FOUR other costumed personas. The reason Spider-Man created new identities wasn't because he was actually having an identity crisis. He was framed by Norman Osborn and Trapster for killing a thug named Joey Z. There was a five million dollar bounty placed on his head.
Spider-Man couldn't fight crime without everyone gunning for him, trying to claim the bounty. His solution was to create the other identities (which would later be used by others as members of Slingers).
This does give a hero some flexibility. Too often when a villain sees the familiar hero coming along, they know how to prepare for their attack. If they know all of Spider-Man's abilities, they could have a plan on how to avoid being defeated right away (similar to how Batman has a plan to take on everyone).
A superhero with multiple identities could patrol their neighborhood without giving away that they live nearby. They could even change up their fighting tactics.
Continuing to use Spider-Man as an example, when Aunt May was shot, Spidey was extremely ticked off. Instead of putting on his red and blue suit, he put his black suit on to show he was dark and angry. If a hero wanted to, they could create a more violent persona that could have more extreme fighting techniques for those really scummy villains that need more than just being captured and delivered to the police. This way, it doesn't tarnish their wholesome image, if they have one.
Even Batman has used more than one identity. For years Batman has used the Matches Malone identity to gather intel among the criminal and low-life. Taking the guise of a small time criminal, Batman had access to places he couldn't exactly go dressed as the Dark Knight. He could uncover information about the bigger criminals in town without tipping them off.
Batman recently created another superhero-type persona as well. When he returned from the dead after his confrontation with Darkseid, he wasn't quite sure where he fit in and wanted to know how the others in the Bat-family were doing without him. Using a new tech-based suit, as the Insider, he confronted each of his former sidekicks and apprentices to test how far they've come.
This was something he could have done as Batman but with a different identity, he could attack and confront them with a level of anonymity he wouldn't be allowed otherwise.
It might be hard enough for a hero to juggle their superhero identity and civilian one. For a superhero to even consider trying to maintain several identities to could enough to drive them insane (cough, Moon Knight, cough). Keeping a secret identity is almost like a challenging game and having multiple ones will give heroes an edge, regardless if they're civilian or superhero ones.

Martí Batres, one of the founding members of Mexico's left wing PRD party, announced on Monday that he will leave the PRD to join Morena, a political movement headed by former presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Morena was previously a social movement allied with the PRD, but it is now in the process of becoming its own political party. Analysts say that Morena is dividing the Mexican left, and creating a schism between Lopez Obrador's supporters, and followers of Mexico City mayor Marcelo Ebrard, who has been signaled as a possible presidential candidate in the 2018 elections.
Bolivian Community Will Punish Thieves by Chopping off their Hands
In the mountain city of El Alto, Bolivia, the National Council for the Ayllu y Marka people will implement a law that has thieves hands cut off and has convicted rapists chemically castrated. The law, which generated huge controversy in Bolivia, is possible thanks to the "community justice" and "separate jurisdictions" system added to Bolivia's constitution in 2009 to give more autonomy to indigenous communities. Only indigenous people can be judged under such laws.
Cuban Real Estate Boom Benefits Foreign Investors
Facing an unbearable housing crisis, the Cuban government authorized private individuals to buy and sell their properties last year. One year later, an Internet market is flourishing, both on the island and abroad, where barely legal brokers are making deals for foreign investors. Prices skyrocketed and valuable houses are passing from Cuban to foreign ownership, while locals move in smaller apartments, away from central Havana.

I purchased this week over a month ago. I have no complaints whatsoever. BestLaceWigs has genuine virgin hair! I have worn hair from different companies, and those companies had mixed hair. On top of that, it shed so bad. However, I have been wearing this wig from BestLaceWigs for a month now (everyday), and I have also washed it. Let me tell you, ladies, I have only seen about 5 strands fall out, and that's better than normal. Also, when the hair is washed and conditioned, the hair waves nicely. It can be worn even after it's air dried. Please don't think twice about this wig. It is a 100% 5-star grade.

This unit is great!!!! I adore the way the layers frame my face so there wasn't a need to do any additional layering, thank God, I didn't want to risk messing it up...12 inches is more than enough for me. I ordered natural so I could lighten it to the color best suited for my complexion. I've gotten so many compliments, it's making me feel like a sexy diva!!!! Thanks Bestlace, I will be ordering again for sure.....
- By: guest (Posted on 3/15/13)
So very glad I purchased this unit. The layers frames my face perfectly, so there was no need for me to trim or add additional layers. I ordered natural knowing I would add color after it arrived. Thanks Best Lace, I will be ordering again soon!!!!!!

This unit is the bomb! I have been wearing & making my own wigs. This is my first full lace wig & I am hooked. I can not tell you how many times I get stopped and asked what type of hair this is. And when I say that it's a wig they are all speechless. I purchased her for my recent wedding. I had a destination wedding and wanted something fabulous. It ended up being so hot that I had to wear her pinned up. She is easy to handle even with the hair being long. I brush her gently and use flex rods to set her. I now wear her down and she is truly gorgeous and worth every penny I paid for her. I WILL be buying another BLW for sure.........

How I spent my Canada Day long weekend

So here's a little back story:
Actually a typical back story that many of you have heard before or perhaps even lived.
Rode early, started on dirt bikes, moved in to street. Succumbed to the pressures of raising a family and making a career and gave up riding for too long. Kids got older but the flame still burned, so back in to riding. And loving it.
Enough of that crap. Let's get to the meat of the story.
Mrs. Squiffy knows I'm thinking of a different bike. I've done my research and have a good idea of what I'm looking for. I understand what to look for and what to avoid. And I'm picky. I've looked at a few locally, and keep showing Mrs. Squiffy the jewels from the FM. Most are in the U.S. and although I can import in to Canuckistan fairly easily, the logistics of distance and time make it difficult. Then I find another gem in the FM, and it's in Canada! PM's and emails ensue. Yes, it's the right bike. Yes, the price is right. Yes, I can get a half decent flight price to go get it. Yes, I can get the time off work. YES!!!
Better yet, it's in Nanaimo BC. I can fly from Regina SK, stay with my Mom in Victoria and her and my sister will drive me up to Nanaimo to pick up the bike!
That's right, it's a
Fly and Ride Ride Report!
Well, maybe not.
Posting all the bikes you have or have owned in this spot is stupid.

We provide a blended online learning and in-school postgraduate Initial Teacher Training (ITT) with PGCE, available in England, through a National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) accredited programme.
ITT courses are available in key teaching subjects including Maths, English, Physics, Chemistry and Modern languages (ML), which include French, Spanish and German. On completion of the programme you will gain Qualified Teacher Status as well as Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE)* if you opt to complete one.
The programme aims to address the current shortages of secondary Maths, English, Physics, Chemistry and ML teachers in England by providing an accessible and flexible path to becoming a fully qualified secondary school teacher.
We have developed a unique two-phase programme that blends Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) with essential in-school experience, which is supported by a personal pathway tutor throughout.
The ITT programme is designed to provide you with the right amount of preparation before starting the in-school phase of the programme, ensuring that your knowledge of the subject and curriculum and teaching skills are at the optimum level.
The length of your full programme will largely depend on the amount of knowledge that you currently have. The shortest time frame that the programme can be completed in is 12 months, if a participant is not required to complete SKE or has already completed an SKE course, and the longest period will be approximately 24 months if a considerable amount of SKE is required. Each programme is tailored to the participant and their programme length will be defined as part of an offer letter.
Our ITT programme is a national programme delivered locally through a combination of online tutorials, lectures, face-to-face tuition and school experience organised by HCUK through our Hub Schools. You will be guided and supported by an experienced subject-specific pathway tutor throughout the programme, both online and face-to-face during the in-school experience to coach you and facilitate effective progress towards QTS.
We offer a range of flexible and accessible Initial Teacher Training (ITT) programmes in shortage subject areas (currently Maths, English, Physics, Chemistry and ML). There are two ITT routes to choose from:
If you choose the optional PGCE you will be required to complete three additional written assignments during Phase II.
* The PGCE option is only available for specific subjects on specific start dates and is subject to annual review by our university partners.
Our ITT programme is broadly split into two distinct phases. This two-phase approach means that your programme will be tailored to your specific needs and will vary depending on your existing knowledge and skills. The shortest length that the programme can be completed in is 12 months and the longest is approximately 24 months.
The first phase provides you with access to key subject knowledge, pedagogy and other resources that you will need to enhance your knowledge and skills before going into the classroom. Your first phase will focus on subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) and will be delivered 100% online with the support from an experienced pathway tutor. This online delivery means you have the option of fitting learning around personal and professional commitments. Phase I is tailored to your individual needs – this means that the programme length will vary according to your current knowledge and skillset. The shortest programme is 8 weeks and the longest programmes is 32 weeks.
The second phase of our ITT programme provides you with three terms (minimum of 30 weeks) of full-time in-school experience, giving you the chance to put all of the knowledge and key skills that you have acquired in Phase I into practice in the classroom. This school experience is normally organised by HCUK with a school within a commutable distance from where you live. The school experience is supported by regular day release for online study and a number of face-to-face workshops throughout the year. Your personal pathway tutor will also continue to guide and support you throughout the second phase both online and in-person with a number of in-school visits.
Motivated individuals who have a passion to teach Maths, English, Physics, Chemistry or ML and meet the following entry criteria:
* A degree of a 2:2 or above is required for English, Chemistry, French, German and Spanish. Other degree classes may be considered for Maths and Physics.
* The PGCE option is only available for some subjects on specific start dates and is subject to annual review by our university partners
**HCUK will do everything it can to arrange suitable school placements for you, however this is not guaranteed
Our ITT programme is designed with accessibility and flexibility in mind. We offer various start dates throughout the year but there are three key factors that will influence the date you begin the programme:
We strongly advise you submit your application as soon as possible to ensure you can join the best possible Phase I and Phase II start dates for your needs and circumstances.
|Application Deadline

|7th Jan 15
|4th Feb 15
|6th Feb 15
|10th March 15
|13th March 15
|14th April 15
|10th April 15
|12th May 15
Please contact us for dates beyond April.
You will only be allowed to start Phase II (core programme) once you have met all of the conditions of your offer (including the completion of SKE programme if required).Please note that successful applicants will be offered the next interview date available to them. If you pass the interview stage you may be asked to complete an SKE programme before starting Phase II (as part of a conditional offer*). If you have to complete an SKE, you will be offered the next available SKE start date based on your assessed needs.
We offer a range of online SKE courses that vary in length from eight weeks up to 32 weeks. Usually you will be required to complete an SKE course as part of your ITT programme.
The length of this first phase will be advised as part of your offer letter, which will detail the next available SKE start date for you.
Applicants who have already completed an SKE course with another provider or those who do not require SKE may be able to join the programme at Phase II subject to completion of any pre-conditions*.
Phase II consists of around 30 weeks of full-time in-school teaching experience with regular day release for online study. Most applicants will be required to complete Phase I and any pre-conditions prior to starting Phase II.
|Phase Two Start Date (induction period)
|In-School Placement

Applicants join Phase II once they have completed SKE and met any pre-conditions. If the applicant has not completed the required length of SKE prior to their intended Phase II start date, the applicant may be required to join Phase II at a later date. We strongly advise that applicants submit their application as soon as possible to avoid this.
* Certain pre-conditions for entry into the ITT programme may be required. These can include the required skills tests and evidence of suitable in school experience
Our ITT programmes are delivered through a blended-learning experience, which incorporates online on-demand sessions, face-to-face tuition and in-school experience.
The programmes are broadly split into two phases, the first is deliver 100% online and includes Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) and subject pedagogy. The second phase consists of 3 terms (minimum 30 weeks) of in-school experience, which is supported by regular day release for online study.
The whole of Phase I and parts of Phase II are delivered online via Moodle, an innovative and interactive e-learning platform.
This platform means that you can learn in your spare time and fit the online elements of the programme around existing personal and professional commitments.
You will be issued with login details for Moodle at the start of your course. You can then access course materials, lessons and tutorials from any Internet-enabled device. This can be done anywhere in the world, at any time, making learning extremely flexible. If you opt to undertake the PGCE as well as QTS you will also benefit from access to our partner university's e-library when completing the PGCE assignments in Phase II.
You are strongly encouraged to attend regular live interactive online tutorial sessions, where you can discuss the topics in more detail, ask questions and interact with other trainees. Tutorial sessions are usually held in the early evening and last around one hour. It is important that you attend these sessions as often as possible. However, live sessions are also recorded and made available on Moodle, allowing you to revisit sessions at a later date.
An important part of the delivery of the programme is the use of specialist pathway tutors. You will be appointed a personal pathway tutor, who will mentor you and work with you to draw up and adhere to an agreed learning plan and calendar. These pathway tutors are subject specialists who provide you with regular feedback on your progress and coach and mentor you on subject knowledge and teaching-skill development.
An essential part of the delivery of the programme is the in-school experience. You will be required to complete three terms (minimum 30 weeks) of in-school experience during Phase II of the programme. School experience is normally split into two blocks (24 weeks and 6 weeks) at two differing schools. This in-school experience is supplemented with continuing online training and you will be given regular study leave from school to complete online learning, tasks and PGCE assignments where relevant.
We understand that finding school placements can be difficult and that is why our team works closely with a national network of schools in England. We will try to find you suitable school placements that are within a reasonable commute from where you live (normally less than 90 minutes travel).
During Phase II, in-school experience, you will be supported by experienced subject-specific, school-based mentors as well as by your personal pathway tutors. Individual training plans guide and support the training experience and make links to the online components so you can put the knowledge and skills that you have learnt in Phase I into practice. Your pathway tutors will make up to nine visits to see you during the in-school experience to observe teaching as well as support and guide you towards QTS.
You will be encouraged to attend a number of on-site workshops and tutorials as part of the blended-learning experience. On-site days will typically take place on a Saturday at one of our Hub Schools. These workshops are designed to further enhance the integration of what is learned online with what is learned in school. They also offer the opportunity to meet your peers and to forge the creation of learning communities, which can prove to be an invaluable source of peer support for online learners, both when online and when in-school.
While you are supported throughout the programme by an individually assigned pathway tutor, our programmes do suit individuals who enjoy being independent learners, who value the flexibility and accessibility to manage their own learning at a pace that suits them.
Phase I and II are designed to seamlessly feed into each other with a slight cross over between both phases. However, you may choose to complete Phase I SKE early in order to have a break before starting Phase II.
The transition between Phase I and II will be subject to the candidate meeting all of the conditional elements of their offer, which may include:
You are expected to:
During the core programme you will be expected to:
HCUK's assessment strategy is based on a formative (self-reflective) assessment. You will be continually assessed with a final summative assessment based on a portfolio of tasks undertaken over the full period of the course. This assessment strategy is designed to evidence whether you have met the Teachers' Standards. The assessment process includes end-of-session tasks and reflections, peer review of learning activities, and evaluating the impact of your teaching on pupils' progress.
Trainees will be continuously assessed by their individually assigned pathway tutor, who will monitor end-of-session tasks, self-assessment grids, Learning Diary entries and other contributions.
You will only be allowed to progress to Phase II of the programme once your pathway tutor and the programme director are satisfied that you have completed Phase I to a high enough standard.
During Phase II (in-school experience) you will be assessed continually by your school-based mentors, senior school managers and pathway tutor to ensure you are making effective progress towards achieving the Teachers' Standards. If you opt in to the PGCE you will be required to complete three supplementary written assignments during Phase II. These assignments are in addition to the other elements of the programme.
The pathway tutor, in conjunction with the programme director, will be responsible for monitoring, assessing and reporting your progress and performance periodically throughout the duration of the programme, as well as more formally at the end of the course.
Our ITT programme will help you to gain:

The present application discloses subject matter which is disclosed and may be claimed in the following international applications as identified by (PCT/US01/05119), (PCT/US01/05120), (PCT/US01/04876) and (PCT/US01/04873) and which are hereby incorporated by reference.
Application No. PCT/US01/05119 is directed to a closed loop method for baselining business bandwidth in a network environment.
Application No. PCT/US01/05120 is directed to analysis of business bandwidth for control of same.
Application No. PCT/US01/04876 is directed to the application of closed loop control to control of business bandwidth.
Application No. PCT/US01/04873 is an extension of PCT/US01/05119, PCT/US01/05021, PCT/US01/05120 and PCT/US01/04876 with respect to exportation of information in a multiple management environment (multiple users with different SLAs).
1. Technical Field
This invention applies closed-loop control methodologies to the field of automated on-line business bandwidth planning tools.
2. Discussion of Related Art
Simply stated, the current rate of change in business bandwidth management is getting out of control. IT business owners and service providers are struggling to manage business systems. Transport of data is exploding at unbelievable growth rates and some service providers are straining at full capacity. Even though data from multimedia networks is still a relatively small proportion of the whole, this is expected to change in the near future. The performance of these streaming protocols is not visible to network probes and sniffers. Service providers and business managers mistrust each other due to the stressful environment. Most service provider contracts are now mandating service level agreements (SLAs) to try to get a mechanism in place to enforce what is promised versus what is delivered. Business managers are contemplating increasing their out sourcing due to the need for outside assistance in managing their networks and therefore new dynamic services are needed. Furthermore, in view of the fact that dynamic routing and the impending internet to "virtual" services model will obsolete current modeling and planning tools new solutions are needed.
An object of the present invention is to provide an automated on-line business bandwidth planning methodology.
Another object of the present invention is to apply closed-loop control methodologies to the field of automated on-line business bandwidth planning tools.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for use in a network for providing an indication of an actual service level relating to business bandwidth provided in said network according to a service level agreement comprises the steps of measuring a business bandwidth parameter, comparing the measured business bandwidth parameter with a baseline for the parameter for providing a change signal indicative of a change in the business bandwidth parameter, and changing the baseline for the parameter according to the change signal. The method may further comprise the step of recording the change in the baseline for use in reporting a compliance level or non-compliance level within or without the service level agreement. The step of measuring may be carried out by means of passive monitoring of data flow or by introducing data into the network for determining an effect on the step of changing the baseline. Such may also be reported.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method for bandwidth management comprises the steps of measuring a parameter relating to business bandwidth and providing a current bandwidth parameter signal having a magnitude indicative thereof, comparing the current bandwidth parameter signal with a baseline signal for providing a difference signal, analyzing the difference signal for modifying the baseline signal. Instead of directly modifying the baseline signal in response to the difference signal, a results notification signal may be provided in response to the difference signal for providing a learning feedback signal, wherein the validation signal is provided in response to the results notification signal.
These planning tools will be used to help both business bandwidth network users and network providers manage and control the growth and high rate of change of business bandwidth. These tools enable automatic planning tools by combining highly accurate monitoring tools and automatic bandwidth simulation tools into a single planning tool framework. The addition of auto characterization and auto partitioning methodologies allows the user to simulate the effects of changes in business bandwidth, then run a real-world test to validate that simulation.
The specific components that make up the closed-loop methodology for planning and managing changes to business bandwidth are (1) business bandwidth measurements according to
Referring first to
Referring first to the measurement domain 10, it includes business bandwidth measurements 16 shown in more detail in
Referring back to
This detailed change analysis is signaled on lines 50, 52 for purposes of component analysis 54 and impact analysis 56. It should be noted that the components analyzed are for any end point, end-to-end and component-to-component. In addition, distinguishing/monitoring both user application and simulated data allows a finer granularity of control/analysis of the simulation to be carried out in the simulation domain described in
Referring back to
Referring now to the simulation domain 14 of
Referring to the simulation analysis 70, it is also responsive to the scenario profiles distributed on a line 98 to a run time analysis simulation block 100. This block is also responsive to the various inputs shown in FIG. (1 from the measurement domain 10) and from the bandwidth profile domain 12. These accurate measurements are provided while running the simulation analysis 70 and observing both the business bandwidth characteristics and the simulated data characteristics; e.g., measuring and analyzing the effects of the simulation on other bandwidth and the effects of the network's capacity handling (any end and any component) on the simulation. While running the simulation on line, the invention provides for monitoring feedback control methods that can "attempt" to minimize the negative impacts on actual applications (minimize impact on critical SLA metrics-end to end and components). The simulation analysis collects simulation results and gives a continuously updated run time view on a line 102 as well as a finished test result on a line 104. The finished test result is then analyzed by additional planning modules in the block 76 that make network bandwidth SLA change recommendations, including price/performance tradeoffs of changing one or more component SLA's.
Referring back to the run time analysis 100, the collected and aggregated simulation effects are provided on lines 106, 108 to analysis blocks 110, 112. The analysis block 110 analyzes the data for the effects of the change and provides an output effect signal on a line 114 to a change analysis block 116 which analyzes the change requirements to determine whether to modify or abort the test. It provides the notice/feedback signal on the line 102 to the simulation control 72.
The analysis block 112 analyzes the data provided on the line 108 and compares it against a prediction provided on the line 96 from prediction module 94 in the simulation engine. It provides an input data and analyzed data output signal on a line 118 to an analysis block 120 in which data is retrieved from multiple locations and an initial analysis is performed.
The simulation control 72 is responsive to the notice/feedback signal on the line 102 as well as the inputs from measuring, learning and baselining and is responsive to the execution signal on the line 98 and a CLNT control signal on a line 106 from a master control 108. In response, the simulation control sends auto control modify notices on a line 110 to the master control 108. The master control 108 is also responsive to the execution signal on the line 98 and provides a finish/abort signal on a line 112 which is used in the block 76 to display the ongoing test report results.
Referring back to the Bandwidth Profile domain 12 of
As more SLA modules are added to the system, the director console receiving the traffic from the SLA modules may become overloaded. To avoid this, the overloaded director clones itself into two or more instances and becomes the parent of the clones. The SLA modules communicating with the parent console will be directed to communicate with the clones. The parent distributes the SLA modules evenly to the cloned directors.
The directors are symmetrical meaning that one can act as a parent or a child. The input and output streams may have identical format and each director console may require its own instances of some data bases.
This mechanism requires a set of available systems and a means of starting the director console which takes a given state information to carry on the needed task. The newly started director consoles will assume the initiating DC as the parent.
Although the invention has been shown and described with respect to a best mode embodiment thereof, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and various other changes, omissions and additions in the form and detail thereof may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Roger Penske bristled Monday at ''petty'' barbs against Joey Logano for his wealthy upbringing and defended his driver in the fallout from Sunday's race at California that left Denny Hamlin in a hospital. Logano was involved in a last-lap accident with Hamlin and then had a post-race altercation with Tony Stewart. ''Listen, Joey is a great driver and what happened at the end there wasn't anything more than hard racing,'' Penske told The Associated Press. ''I stand behind him and I think he's going to go down as one of the greatest drivers to ever race.'' Predictions like Penske's are one reason why it suddenly seems the garage has turned against the 22-year-old Logano, who came into NASCAR with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2008 with the nickname ''Sliced Bread.'' He'd risen rapidly through the racing ranks with the financial backing from his father, Tom, who used funds from the family's Connecticut waste management company to help his two children pursue their dreams. Logano had the mean...

"Hiroshima - City of Peace" Top 5 Page for this destination Hiroshima by pure1942
Hiroshima Travel Guide: 464 reviews and 1,316 photos
Everyone has heard of Hiroshima but the city's fame has less to do with ancient temples, historic sites and beautiful landscapes than the horrific incident which shocked the world and devastated Hiroshima at 8.15 AM on Monday, August 6, 1945. With the dropping of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima, WWII ended but effectively heralded the beginning of the Nuclear age, which to this day, leaves a heavy cloud of uncertainty and fear hanging over the world.
Walking the streets of Hiroshima today, it could be easy to forget the devastation which flattened the city 65 years ago. The bustling energy of the city and its people is only deflated by the mournful shell of the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Hall more commonly known as the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome. This crumbling ruin is the only building in Hiroshima's city centre remaining from pre-1945. The dome is left standing as a constant reminder as to the horrors and devastation of nuclear war and marks a central focal point to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park which spreads out across the river. Away from the dome and Peace park, the city hides it's tragic past, with an energy and friendliness which makes visitors feel more at ease, after visiting the disturbing reminders of devastation and horror on show in the park and museum. This openness and energy shows the true resilience and optimism of the people of Hiroshima who, despite past pain and loss, have rebuilt their city and lives with a hugely admirable determination.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is one of those sobering places which can't fail to move everyone who visits. Laid out in a an area of land in the city centre which was left abandoned after the atomic bombing, the park is a beautiful and moving memorial to the atrocity.
Central to the park is the eternal peace flame and cenotaph sculpture which are located in front of the Peace Museum which itself makes for an interesting but ultimately humbling experience for all visitors.
Most people come to Hiroshima to visit the scene of one of man-kinds worst mistakes, but the city has much more to offer visitors. Most of your time will be taken up with the peace park and museum, but Hiroshima's less depressing sites are well worth checking out. Hiroshima Castle, park and adjacent royal buildings are well worth a look and if there at the right time of year, a visit to the Hiroshima Municipal Stadium to watch the Hiroshima Toyo Carp baseball team, is a popular way to spend an evening, both for locals and visitors alike. Of course every visitor to Hiroshima with more than a day or two to spare, will definitely want to make for the beautiful and sacred island of Miyajima, just a short trip from central Hiroshima.

PSV Eindhoven forward Ola Toivonen is facing a long lay-off after tearing a hamstring while on international duty with Sweden this week.
The 26-year-old suffered the injury during training on Wednesday ahead of Sweden's FIFA World Cup™ qualifier with Faroe Islands tonight, and PSV's medical staff have confirmed the extent of the damage and that he will require an operation.
Following surgery, it is expected Toivonen will be sidelined for six months, the Eredivisie club said on their website today.
A statement on www.psv.nl read: "For optimal recovery of this injury, surgery is required in the short term. It is expected that a rehabilitation period of around half a year will be necessary."

Picture: Michael Fassbender, Empire Hero The Empire Film Awards 2012- Press Room London, England - 25.03.12
Michael Fassbender has no plans to leave London and set up home in Hollywood because he is convinced life in Los Angeles "makes you soft".
The actor was born in Germany and raised in Ireland before moving to England, where he has lived for the last 15 years.
Despite his film career taking off with roles in critically acclaimed movies such as Shame and A Dangerous Method, Fassbender is adamant he wants to stay put in the U.K.
He tells Britain's Elle magazine, "I've met some cool people out there who say I haven't found the right L.A., but I just prefer here. I think L.A. makes you soft - people never get anything done. It's a city where people give out their business cards. I think London has a sense of humour. I like the parks, I like the mentality here. I like walking. I like the immediacy of the city."
Fassbender regularly steps out for a drink in his local pub in the London borough of Hackney, and admits he has yet to be mobbed by fans while out in public.
He adds, "I don't really get noticed. That part hasn't really changed. I thought it would in the last few months, but no. I'm not bothered about being famous. That was never the game plan. I wanted to be good - that was the goal."

Critical Care, 04/10/2012
Two recent controlled trials in out–of–hospital cardiac arrest patients demonstrated that administration of epinephrine and other drugs was associated with a significant increase in short–term survival but not in survival to hospital discharge. In one of those trials, patients in the epinephrine group had more than twice the odds of surviving to hospital discharge than those who received placebo, but the difference did not reach statistical significance, possibly because of inadequate sample size.

I am being critical in giving "good" to some of the criteria, yet none of it is relevant. This is not staying in a hotel, but staying at a friends house, where none of that is important. If the important things are enjoying yourselves, relaxing, and being with friends, then this is the perfect place to do it. Admittedly, having a beach, magnificent sunsets, and free wifi helps as well :-)

For some the location may not be adequate, as some tour operators may not come pick you up, and you'll want a rental car to get to the more touristy spots. For me, however, the location was perfect! Loved the people, love the location, loved the atmosphere, right on the beach. I was even greeted upon arrival with a beer! If you want to escape the hustle and bustle, this is THE place to go. Tell Julie, Paul, Hans, and Jet I sent you!

Merycoidodon culbertsoni
Late Oligocene
Brule Formation
White River Badlands
South Dakota
Merycoidodon ("ruminating teeth") is an extinct genus of Oreodont - an "even-toed" artiodactyl closely related to camels and pigs - although with no close living relative. Oreodonts ("ruminating hogs"), especially Merycoidodon, were the most abundant of the Oreodonts in the White River Badlands and are often found in Oreodont beds of mass mortalities.This browser was pig- or sheep-like in appearance but probably was actually more like a camelid. They lived in large herds and were nomadic going from place to place.They were cud-chewing with short faces and "fang-like" canine teeth although this group was more likely the prey than predator in the Badlands. An excellent example of the medium-sized type, Merycoidodon culbertsoni, this fossil is a complete display all on its own With a very well preserved robust skull, a complete set of teeth and a limited amount of restoration, this specimen features an abundance of post cranial material in the form of numerous bones - vertebrae, ribs and limb bones - that result in a fossil diorama with a myriad of ancient history exposed. This fossil is in fine condition, and two small pieces of bone were reattached after popping off the specimen during transport. The specimen was expertly prepared and offers much more than a typcial Oreodont skull. This common fossil is anything but common.
Measurements: 15 x 10 x 8 inches (38.1 x 25.4 x 20.32 cm) and weighs 17 pounds (7.23 kg).Skull only measures 8.75 inches (22.23 cm) long.
Offered at no reserve.

Mix whiskey and sugar in pitcher to dissolve sugar. Divide among 6 heat-proof glasses. Stud each lemon slice with 4 cloves. Place 1 slice in each glass. Pour 1/2 cup hot water into each; stir to blend.
Great recipe. Made it today and it really is good. The best part comes toward the end when the lemon and clove really compliment the whiskey. A good irish whiskey adds a very nice flavor. Don't go cheap!

The Reds had a great RS698 RA589. Anytime it's over 100RD. 109+ for you guys last year was great even though the season didn't end how you would have hoped.
I hoped the Cards would of paid Choo. I think having him in Center and bat 2nd behind Carpenter would of sealed the deal for the cards for a few years.
But that didn't happen.
He was unreal for you guys last year. I have read around here and most fans without giving much reason except lots of hope think replacing him will be a cake walk.
How? The guy replacing him in theory Hamilton is super exciting. He has torrid SB potential but he will probably bet on base .100obp less than Choo if not worse. I doubt stealing bases can make up for the huge on-base/power/rbi production he gave as your lead-off hitter.
The guy is a superstar at this point. I really thought you guys would keep him.
I am not trolling this board. I know it's only one player. But damn, replacing him with Hamilton is a bit strange for a team that has it's fan base overwhelmingly sure of the playoffs and a world series contender.
