27 year old woman | Milton, MA, USA | Seeking men 23-32 within 25 miles
Ain't nobody got time for that
Hey fellahs! I'm not great at describing myself, but here it goes! Here are a few things to know about me: I consider myself a pretty laid back, go-with-the-flow kind of gal. I try not to take myself too seriously and I love to laugh (most times at myself). I try and enjoy life as much as possible and try not to sweat the small stuff. I am really close with my family. I have a great extended family too and they are all pretty local. I love them all and feel extremely lucky to be part of such a close family (most of the time :) ) I am a nurse and recently decided to head back to school for my Master's. I am new to the program and plan on becoming an NP and working with the elderly. I have worked with the old folks in the past and LOVE them, even the grumpy ones- I think they've earned that right! I like to stay active and mix up my workouts (running, biking, yoga, hiking, etc) because I get bored easily (especially of working out). I also like any excuse to spend time outside and get some fresh air. I love Cape Cod, I try to spend as much of the summers there as possible. I also love DC and Boston, I'm trying to explore Boston more, it's such a fun city. I love to travel, see new things, and meet new people. The number one thing I am looking for is a sense of humor. If we don't make each other laugh, then that's a deal breaker. Also I am looking for someone who can take charge, since I tend to be pretty laid back. And then there's the obvious- smart, fun, knows how to treat a lady. Email me if you want to know more!
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing
Cycling, Running, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
I have a special place in my heart for Cape Cod. On an unrelated note I go to Starbucks WAY too often
I love movies, especially a good comedy (that's quote-able). I love food and am always up for trying new kinds. I love doing new things, being outside, traveling, getting outside my comfort zone
Spending time with family, friends, and new people; watching quality TV and movies (and a few guilty pleasures); staying active (running, spinning, yoga); fun nights out to dinner, bars, parties, concerts; traveling

Among the Philippines 7,107 islands are many great locations for golf, scuba diving, and adventure. Scattered throughout are 6 retirement centers that are the hubs linking various attractions in the country.
METRO MANILA, LUZON, VISAYAS, and MINDANAO
The beautiful Manila Bay sunset is just one of the reasons to smile at life in the Philippines. Metro Manila, the political, economic, social, and cultural center of the Philippines, is one of the most modern metropolises in Southeast Asia.
The Intramuros, a former city itself enclosed by thick, high walls and moats situated along the southern banks of Pasig River. The seat of Spanish colonial rule in the East for almost four centuries and was the center of commerce, education, government and religion.
Luzon is one of three main island groups. In the mountains of northern Luzon sits cool Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines. It is home to many tourist spots like Camp John Hay, Burnham Park, and the Philippine Military Academy. Nearby are the Banaue Rice Terraces, 2,000 years old and carved into the mountains of Ifugao. Historic Vigan, in Ilocos Sur, like the rice terraces. Baguio has superb residential and leisure developments, as well as modern retail and medical centers.
In Central Luzon, Clark and Subic form the backbone of a thriving light industrial and ecotourism zone. Formerly US military bases, Clark and Subic now boast of beaches, hotels and resorts, casinos and sports facilities. Mixed use townships are on the rise, which combine residential, commercial and leisure facilities.
In South Luzon, the boom area known as Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas) is seeing the fastest paced development in recent years. Export processing zones are giving rise to the new suburbia, with subdivisions, schools, and commercial centers. It doesnt hurt that this area is also a stones throw from the gorgeous landscapes like Taal Lake in Tagaytay, and the beaches and coral reefs of Batangas.
Visayas, is the second island group and home to some of the countrys most famous white sand beaches.Cebu is the second largest metropolitan area in the Philippines, but its laidback tropical atmosphere makes it a premier diving and vacation destination. Cebu is near other acclaimed beaches, like those in Bohol, Boracay and Siquijor. Boracay in Panay is a fantastic tropical island with long white sand beaches that rival any of the best beaches in the whole world. Bohol is a popular tourist destination with its beaches and resorts. The Chocolate Hills, numerous mounds of limestone formations, is the most popular attraction. Retirement offerings in the Visayas are plentiful, and medical care is often topnotch.
Mindanao, which is the third island group, the largest city is Davao. Davao is a bustling, orderly city that boasts of a rich Muslim and Christian heritage. Cagayan de Oro, The City of Golden Friendship is located along the northern coast of Mindanao. The City of White Water Rafting and River Trekking. The two cities are jump off points to attractions like Camiguin, a small island province, has been regarded as the most beautiful island in the country. With its unique ambience, majestic waterfalls, hot and cold springs, it is not surprising that it is called The Garden of Eden of the Philippines.
In every place, youre sure to meet the same warm smiles and genuine caring with which Filipinos greet their guests.

I dont agree with perfangel5655...why would he need publicity now? The book is already a Bestseller... lot of people have read the book and are still reading it. I have read the book and watched the movie and i too realized a lot of things are directly lifted from the book. So if Chetan Bhagat is asking for credit, he is not wrong.
I also agree with perfangel=]
agree with Perfangel5655 :)
Edited on:06 January 2010 at 7:54pm
i agree. 60-70% of the story has been lifted from d buk n he shuld b given credit for the story. @ shaina is rite. In hp series credit for screenplay and story r separate. n honestly speaking its impossible for any1 to get credit in a amir khan movie. amir, vidhu and hirani all of them r very egoistic n r reluctant to admit their mistake.
Edited on:05 January 2010 at 11:58am
this guy is grossing me out. Before the movie he was totally fine with it. Now that the movie is successful he is trying to use the publicity. Using this to sell his books.
Shame on him! What a direct marketing. " I am just telling people to read my book..."
Edited on:05 January 2010 at 11:30am
After watching the muvi twice....even b4 this issue was up.... I had noticed dem acknowledging Chetan for his story....I mean dey do clearly write.. based on the story of Chetan Bhagat's 5 point sum1. And yeah...the story had some direct lifts from the book....but there were a lot of changes that made the muvi dis much entertaining. Yeahhhh... I myself have gone thru the novel as well have chcked out the muvi....Chetan can in no way tale away all the credits from Joshi.....he indeed remade some parts of it......he made the novel a muvi. I am with Aamir and other....n never expected this kinda thing from a writer like Chetan. I am a great fan of his.....!!! So better things get solved at the earliest .
Keep crying. I thought you said on your blog that you were done commenting on this? Or was that another fib on your part? You didn't read a script - which you later said you did. You were promised something else in your contract - which we all now see you were not. It just keeps escalating.
I have the utmost respect for writers, because that's the field I'm in as well. But you need to STOP. Retain some form of dignity and credibility. STOP SPEAKING.
well, Chetan is contradicting hos own interview!!! a few days b4 film release, he was all praises for the producers. n besides the TV ppl , sme channel, i thin zoom had shown a copy of d contract wjhich Chetna hd made with Vidhu n all
Edited on:05 January 2010 at 8:43am

Giro LTZ II Gloves
The LTZ II is a product that was designed for professional riders taking their input and putting it into production. LTZ is an acronym for Less Than Zero. This obviously refers to the weight, but not so obvious is the low volume. There is not a glove that can match the LTZ II's minimalist approach that offers ultimate ventilation and bar feel. The combination of a Lycra upper with unique Cool Skin synthetic palm creates a custom-fit feel with just enough structure to enhance grip and control. They have a snug fit with a little compression, but the finger pockets makes them a snap to remove. Perfect for time trials, alpine climbs and the hottest days on the road.
- Super Fit three panel palm
- Lightweight, breathable upper with 4-way stretch
- Supple Cool Skin vented synthetic palm
- Finger pockets for easy glove removal

MPTC Current Legal Updates, Massachusetts guidelines, opinions and training regulations.
MPTC Instructor Certifications will expire December 2014. Re-Certifications are now in process.
The Committee is tasked to set policies and standards for the training of municipal police officers, candidates for appointment as municipal police officers, environmental law enforcement officers and the University of Massachusetts police officers in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including the training mandated by sections 116A to 116D, inclusive, of this chapter, section 36B of chapter 40, sections 96B and 97B of chapter 41 and section 24M of chapter 90. The committee shall review and recommend to the secretary an annual appropriation for the administration of the committee, as well as for the operations of a headquarters and regional training centers, and for the delivery of standardized training at the centers.
Entry-level police training for full-time & reserve/intermittent police officers.
Recruit Officer Courses are only scheduled to meet anticipated demand. One of the factors in determining when a class will be scheduled and its location is a list of pending candidates gleaned from the interest we have on file asking for a seat in the next training academy. As a result, MPTC encourages departments, and those who have sponsorship to keep the MPTC informed regarding future hiring plans and recruit officer training needs.

SANDWICH, England -- There's no rational explanation, really.
But irrational ones abound.
Moving well past the point of geographic quirk and topical oddity, the Emerald Isle has accounted for five major championships since this very month in 2007, including back-to-back U.S. Open titles.
"It's a Mecca," David Feherty said, smirking.
Feherty is famous for his one-liners, but he was only half-joking.
He was born and raised in Northern Ireland, same as Rory McIlroy, the reigning U.S. Open champion and the comprehensive favorite this week at the British Open, the oldest major of them all. Any notion of Irish dominance, though, is still in swaddling clothes.
|Graeme McDowell's triumph at the 2010 U.S. Open was one of five major victories by Irishmen in the past 16 Grand Slams. (Getty Images)
Fred Daly, a Northern Irishman, won the British Open in 1947, and wasn't joined in the major championship winner's circle until 2007, when Ireland's Padraig Harrington won the first of three Slam titles.
It's as though Harrington unraveled some dormant genetic code. With Ulstermen Graeme McDowell and McIlroy having won consecutive U.S. Open titles -- ending a 40-year drought by Europeans in that event -- the Irish contingent has combined to claim five of the past 16 majors.
That's the same total over that span as the next-best nation, the United States. For perspective, the combined population of the two Irish countries is 6.3 million, or roughly the population of Tennessee. Northern Ireland has 1.8 million residents, equal to the population of West Virginia.
It's akin to group hysteria, in the best possible way.
"When you see the quality of the guys you play with week in week out, you feed off each other a bit," McDowell said Tuesday. "We all start to believe that we all can do it when one of us wins. It's not like when Tiger was winning 65 percent of the majors.
"When Harrington won three of five [actually six] it became more of a realistic possibility for all of us."
Forgive him for the math error. The numbers have tended to blur. Nary a big event goes by these days without an Irishman being in the mix at some point. In a short span of five seasons, as far as majors go, Ireland has become an island unto itself. Counting off the successes is the easy part, of course. Divining reasons for the breakthrough is quite another.
Just like when you are lost, it's best to ask a local for directions. Preferably one with a sense of humor and off-center point of view.
"I think you have to think about Ireland in general, the whole island," said Feherty, a former Ryder Cupper and now a television analyst. "It's the first place the rain hits when it comes across 3,000 miles of ocean and people spend a lot of time indoors more than pretty much any other place in Europe. Because when there's foul weather elsewhere, there's snow and fun stuff to do. There's not much to do in the mud, except drink. And read."
Indeed, the island has produced poets like Yeats and Shaw, and authors such as Joyce, Wilde and Swift. Creativity is certainly not lacking.
"The pubs over there, it's not the same atmosphere as here where everyone is looking at ESPN and whatever is on," Feherty said. "Conversation is still alive. It's still a tremendous place to develop an imagination, which is probably why we have so many writers, poets, musicians and artists in general. When you think about it in those terms, maybe it transfers over to sports in those that require a lot of time in between shots or whatever. We have had some great snooker players.
"Golf is one of those things where you have to think about what is going to happen and feel it in your head and imagine what it's going to feel like. You can see Rory McIlroy, that's what he is doing, visualizing the shot and he has a keen sense of how he wants it to feel and he goes ahead and swings and lets the ball get in the way."
Nobody better stand in his way at the moment. McIlroy is ranked No. 4 in the world at age 22 and has held the lead at some point in each of the past four majors. The Irish have plenty of time to visualize things in the abstract, since Feherty said the weather's tolerable for perhaps half the year.

"But they still play," he said, "out there in the mud."
The second ascendance theory is every bit as subjective and hard to quantify. Ireland has always had good players -- but perhaps burdened with a slight inferiority complex. Yet when a player you have personally beaten many times over the years wins a big event, it's natural to ask, "Why not me?"
The upward Irish flight path can be traced to 2005, when Michael Campbell won the U.S. Open. The affable New Zealander was something of a journeyman, and a longtime friend of Harrington's since they had toured in Europe for years with moderate success. Then Campbell held off Tiger Woods to win at Pinehurst.
"Certainly Michael Campbell, when he won, I played a lot of golf with him and it definitely made it easier for me to believe I could be a major winner, knowing his game," Harrington explained in 2009. "I'm sure over time, I'll play a lot more competitively with Rory and it's good to have a marker of what it takes to win a major, and that's what I am for those guys, a marker."
More like equal parts trailblazer and bulldozer. They have aligned behind him like he was their Pied Piper, on down through the lineage. Not only have the Irish been regularly in contention at majors, they have enjoyed a renaissance on the European Tour. Earlier this year, veterans Darren Clarke and Michael Hoey, a pair of Northern Irishmen, won in consecutive weeks.
It has become a contagion.
Even the South Africans have gulped from the same cup of confidence, if not confluence. When Louis Oosthuizen won the British Open last year, best pal Charl Schwartzel looked in the mirror and saw no reason why the skinny lad staring back at him couldn't do much the same thing. Schwartzel birdied the final four holes at Augusta in April to win the Masters.
McIlroy, who obliterated a dozen scoring records when he won the U.S. Open by eight strokes last month, senses that he might be inspiring a new wave of players to greater heights. Not just Irish lads, per se, but the younger set in general -- players in his proximal peer group, like Matteo Manassero, Rickie Fowler or Ryo Ishikawa.
"Hopefully my success at the U.S. Open can spur a lot of the younger guys on to say, if I can do it, then they can come up and do it, as well," McIlroy said Tuesday.
There's a lot of that sentiment going around. Nobody was saying those words when Woods was at his peak, because he was hammering everybody and had no psychological equal. But in the new, crowded reality atop the rankings, a shot of confidence is like a stiff European cappuccino -- enough to make a difference.
"We gain a lot of belief," McDowell said, "from watching our friends and colleagues winning one."
Or, especially, countrymen.

Results show that doctoral programs in physical education are highly specialized while advertisements for physical education jobs tended to require more combination of skills. These imply that academic preparation for physical education doctoral programs is not compatible with job availability and employers' requirements and underscore the need to provide broader curricula that would enable graduates to handle multi-disciplinary positions.Citation DetailsTitle: Academic preparation and the academic consumer.Author: Dorothy ZakrajsekPublication: JOPERD--The Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance (Refereed)Date: May 1, 1993Publisher: American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD)Volume: v64 Issue: n5 Page: p20(5)Distributed by Thomson Gale

Mark Ellis released from hospital following emergency leg surgery
May 24, 2012, 8:07 PM EDT
More good news for Mark Ellis.
Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports that Ellis was released from the hospital today, six days after he underwent an emergency fasciotomy which may have saved his left leg.
Ellis injured the leg when he was taken out on a slide at second base by Cardinals' infielder Tyler Greene last Friday. He underwent surgery the next day to drain his leg of blood and fluid. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly revealed earlier this week that if Ellis had waited another four to five hours to get treatment, he may have lost his leg.
Ellis has already begun ankle exercises, but he's expected to be on the shelf for the next six weeks. Of course, baseball sort of takes a backseat after a scare like that.

Don't blame Big Oil for price at pump
Every American who grumbles about the price of gasoline, or worries about America's energy dependence and the national security implications of that, needs to think long and hard about the stupidity Michael Ramirez's April 14 editorial cartoon is illuminating.
Our elected representatives, representing or responding to activist minorities with specific agendas, have put us in this fix, not the oil companies. (ExxonMobil's profit is a significantly lower percentage than those of Starbucks and most other retail enterprises.) We have the necessary oil and coal and know how to safely handle nuclear energy. We must decide to use these sources.
This question should be a major issue in the coming elections, alongside Iraq.
Phil Irish
High cost of oil easily traced
Michael Ramirez's April 14 cartoon shows once more that he has a poor understanding of the subjects he likes to harpoon.
This cartoon featured a frustrated Congress lambasting the oil companies about not doing enough to come up with alternate energy sources while implying their obvious suggestions are ludicrous.
The truth is, the problem lies solely with the oil companies because they have not built a new refinery in this country since the 1970s. Yet the demand has grown exponentially.
The Saudis have repeatedly said they will sell us all the oil we want. We are now refining at maximum capacity, so what good would more oil coming into the United States do if we can't refine it? This is the oil companies' chosen direction. It has little to do with the Middle East, Mexico, South America or Russia and their respective oil policies. If the oil companies built more refineries, the supply would increase and keep up with the demand.
However, keeping the supply low or barely adequate to meet demand will only drive prices higher, especially when there is another scare in the Middle East. That's exactly what they want. Ask Ramirez to draw us a cartoon showing that.
Paul Swanson
This Bush will never be green
I take exception to the Michael Ramirez cartoon, as it depicts the shrub refusing drilling rights to Big Oil, mining rights to Big Coal (clean coal?) and refusing to give the nuclear industry rights to build more power plants. This is the opposite of what our current president would do: He would disregard the untold environmental damage and water pollution such industries have caused for decades and continue to do.
The cartoon does not even address the possibility of these companies producing "green" sources of energy or developing cleaner, less damaging sources of energy. They certainly have the money; they're just stubbornly averse to doing anything differently than they've always done it. And the shrub is averse to facing that environmental damage has been and is being done.
Cheryl M. Dare
Prices would dive at 55
I have not heard any government official talk about lowering the speed limit to 55 miles per hour because of the gasoline prices. Not only would such a change save fuel, but it might also save lives. Why do you suppose this issue has not been raised by any of our presidential candidates?
The sad thing is that not many are complaining except for the few truckers, who are probably independents, who are paying $3.95 per gallon.
It is like no one cares, and we have fallen into a state of acceptance and the elected officials we've sent to Washington do not bring it up.
Mary Devine
Stepping out of bounds with Hamas
Why is former president Jimmy Carter meeting with Hamas? It has always been my understanding that only three people are authorized to discuss U.S. foreign policy: the President, Vice President and Secretary of State.
Anyone else, including the speaker of the House, is not authorized to do so.
Charlie Burdine
Papal visit a privilege for all
Pope Benedict XVI is a man steeped in holiness. As a priest, bishop and pope, he has expended great intellectual and moral energy in promoting and protecting the doctrine of the faith and its morals throughout the Catholic world. He has succeeded in giving witness to the powerful tradition of the Catholic faith in all its depth and beauty.
The Bavarian pontiff has shown tireless dedication to the truth that leads God's children to true freedom. His mission in life is that of being a "collaborator of the truth," after the model of the many wonderful pastors of Christ's holy church. By his example, he has spurred many to discover the service to the truth, who is God Himself, with joyful faith and perseverance in the variety of situations in which they live.
Alongside his many responsibilities and challenges, the pope has never ceased to raise the world up above false ideologies while continually offering fresh hope for a new and fervent springtime in the church. In all things he is a man of peace and unity. May his visit be a profound spiritual blessing to every man.
Ruth Fitzpatrick
Centers peddle coercion, manipulation
Marilyn Loeffel conveniently ignores the fact that crisis pregnancy centers are not legitimate medical facilities (April 8 "A Right Perspective" column, "Abortion is a civil rights issue for the unborn"). Women who enter such facilities expect to receive comprehensive medical care but are instead greeted with manipulation and coercive ideology.
The Web site of Life Choices, of which Loeffel is a board member, says it offers "factual information about all your options." Yet it warns women considering abortion of "Post-Abortion Syndrome," despite the insistence of the American Psychological Association that no such condition exists.
Women who face unplanned pregnancies deserve honest, nonjudgmental physicians who will provide them with the full range of legal options available.
Jakatae Jessup
Practical solutions to the abortion rate
Nowhere in Marilyn Loeffel's April 8 column does she advocate comprehensive sex education and access to affordable birth control as key components to reducing unplanned pregnancies and, thus, abortion. Both anti-choice and pro-choice individuals should be able to agree on the importance of prevention.
John Marshall Jones
Anti-Semitism infects opinion page
In her April 8 column, Marilyn Loeffel used the phrase "high-powered Jewish lawyer." I haven't heard an expression like that since most anti-Semites learned to bite their tongues in public in the 1960s. It might also be important to note that the lawyer, Jay Sekulow, is not Jewish. According to Time magazine, which featured him as one of the top 25 evangelicals in America, he converted to Christianity in college.
I sympathize with the loss of his or anyone's family in the Holocaust. However, I do not believe there is a monument to his family in New York. There is a monument to members of a town where his family may have lived. The Nazis murdered the inhabitants of this town because they were Jews.
Loeffel refers to "the Jewish race." Adolf Hitler often used the same terminology to justify his efforts to exterminate Jews. To be very clear, there is no such thing as a Jewish race. But it has been a favorite description of Jews to identify them for persecution and murder. Most of the civilized world outside of the Ku Klux Klan and terrorists have been able to move on from this anti-Semitic language of the Middle Ages.
Sekulow, according to Loeffel, says Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "was concerned about the genocide of his race due to the focus on abortions." It is unclear how he came to this conclusion, as I can find no such reference in King's writings, and since abortion was still illegal in the United States in 1968, it is highly unlikely King would have ever expressed such an opinion.
Genocide and focus are words to create anxiety and anger and they have no purpose in reference to King, who preached peace. If Walter Bailey heard King express an opinion like the above, then he needs to tell us where and when, or let our community know that Loeffel has invented or distorted a conversation.
A great newspaper is founded on diversity of opinion, but printing Loeffel's lies and religious prejudices does nothing to inspire examination of the ethical and political questions we face.
Barry Chase
Inconsistencies in the argument
"Nevertheless, there is -- and there should be -- something uncomfortable about a free-market approach to baby making." That's a quote from Ellen Goodman's April 13 Viewpoint commentary, the same Ellen Goodman who's an an unapologetic advocate for abortion without restriction.
What kind of convoluted logic is required to maintain that a woman should be allowed to kill her unborn baby at any time prior to live birth, while simultaneously advocating that a poor woman in India shouldn't be allowed to carry and deliver for hire, a live baby to a childless couple in the United States?
If she's truly in favor of a woman's right to choose, why does she bewail the Indian woman's choice of surrogate motherhood for hire? She states that "international surrogacy tips the scales" in crossing ethical borders because "humanity is sacrificed to the economy." Where's her concern for the humanity that's sacrificed every day as a consequence of legal abortions?

Singular MS68 1861 Cent1861 1C MS68 PCGS. The first small cents were struck in an alloy of 88% copper and 12% nickel, but the combination did not last long; after the two years of official Flying Eagle cent production came to an end, the replacement Indian cent design saw only five years of copper-nickel cent production and part of a sixth before the Mint made the change to a bronze alloy for the cent, mirroring developments among the cent-sized tokens created by private individuals during the Civil War.
As of (3/09), in the combined certified populations of NGC and PCGS, for the entire Indian cent series, there are only six coins graded as MS68 across all designations, three certified by each service. Five of those pieces were certified as MS68 Red, indicating that they were struck in the bronze alloy. The last is this PCGS-graded example from 1861; it is the only copper-nickel cent so graded by either service, and as such, its appearance on the marketplace presents an important opportunity for the series enthusiast.
This survivor, housed in a green label holder, has pale mahogany surfaces with ample peach overtones and occasional hints of lilac. The strike is bold, with all four diamonds on the ribbon plain, and the surfaces are absolutely smooth; to find any flaws, magnification is virtually a must. In sum, a copper-nickel cent of singular quality and beauty, sure to be treasured by its next owner.

Siberian man runs marathon in minus-36 degrees
Jan 4, 2014, 6:16 PM EDT
The Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers will play an NFL playoff game several degrees below zero Sunday.
That's balmy sports weather for Boris Fyodorov.
The Siberian man ran a marathon in minus-36 degrees to and from Oymyakon, Russia, one of the coldest settlements on the planet. He was hoping for colder and would like to try minus-76 degrees.
The Siberian Times reported it was the world's coldest marathon.
He completed the 26.2 miles in 5 hours, 8 minutes, starting shortly after midnight on New Year's Day and said it was his first marathon. He was 33 minutes quicker than Pamela Anderson's time from the New York City Marathon in November.
"I came to Oymyakon several days ahead of the start and was lucky to catch a nice steady minus-45 [Celsius]," Fyodorov, 37 and a jeweler, told the Siberian Times. "I did my last pre-marathon run at this temperature and felt great and ready to go. There were issues with getting the right kind of clothes. When you run in extreme heat there is a way to find shade and stop. When you are running at minus-40 [Celsius], sweating, there is a certain danger in stopping."
Fyodorov said there were risks. You know, the usual marathon dangers such as wolves and bears.
"But wolves do not usually attack healthy people, and tend to keep close by the reindeer herds, so the chances as I estimated them were minimal," he told the publication. "Bears were even a smaller risk since they should be hibernating, so I was pretty confident of the risk being low."
He trained in similar temperatures for 2 1/2 months before embarking on the marathon, noting it was about 10 degrees warmer than in most years.
When he finished, he sipped some champagne and quickly ran indoors.
"My legs were hurting, and my body was quite tired," Fyodorov said. "By the end of it, I was getting really cold. But I kept saying to myself, that must go all the way, I've got to finish, I must not give up. And there was the finish!"

In an attempt to right what he perceives to be a wrong-headed Supreme Court decision, President Obama is asking the DOL to change FLSA regulations covering home health care workers. Those workers have been exempt from the law since 1974 when the DOL lumped the workers into a "companion" category along with baby sitters and nannies.
Overtime Labor Laws
Federal overtime laws, designed to help end the exempt vs. non-exempt debate, have made things worse. To non-exempt and exempt employees, labor laws continue to confuse.
Business Management Daily can help you comply with federal overtime laws. Learn when you have to pay overtime, and when you don't.
Q. We pay a bonus for not using accrued sick leave. Does that count when determining an employee's regular rate of pay for overtime purposes?
An increasing number of those managers are filing FLSA lawsuits, claiming they should be classified as nonexempt, hourly employees—and, thus, due overtime—because they spend most of their time doing the same tasks as their subordinates. But that's not the test.
In an attempt to right what he perceives to be a wrong-headed Supreme Court decision, President Obama is asking the U.S. Department of Labor to change FLSA regulations covering home health care workers.
Q. What are the new developments regarding overtime exemption for commissioned sales employees?
Managers may think it's safe to underpay employees by having them work off the clock or shaving time off their overtime tab because no one has complained. But it takes just one short-term employee to get the lawsuit ball rolling. Before you know it, you will be facing an FLSA and New Jersey Wage and Hour Law class-action suit.
A unique case highlights a twist on the usual definition of discrimination: If an employee is fired for failing to live up to a stereotype about a particular race or nationality, she's unlikely to win a discrimination lawsuit.
A federal judge has sided with the U.S. Department of Labor in an employee misclassification lawsuit against Fairfield-based Cascom, which lays fiber-optic lines for Time Warner Cable in the Dayton area.
The California Labor Commissioner is suing ZipRealty Inc., claiming the company owes unpaid wages to hundreds of real estate agents. The lawsuit is seeking minimum wages in excess of $7.5 million, overtime compensation in the amount of $1.25 million—plus damages and penalties of over $9 million.
When claims involve unpaid overtime or misclassification, attorneys representing employees naturally want to handle the case as a class or collective action. Some employers think that if they include an arbitration agreement in their terms and conditions of employment, a wage-and-hour claim has to go to arbitration as an individual claim. That's not necessarily true.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 8/28/13
Really Tuesday night was a night like many others at Chase Field. The Diamondbacks came back from an early deficit and broke a late tie. The bullpen blew a save not once but twice. Arizona went to extra innings for the 20th time this season and won on a walkoff for the 11th time this time 10-9 on Aaron Hill's single to left over a five-man infield in the 10th inning in front of 19807 at Chase Field. The usual. Oh and starting pitcher Ian Kennedy had a rough outing. For the other team. Kennedy traded to the Padres at the July 31 deadline and unavailable to the media until after press time couldn't make it out of the fifth inning in his return to Chase Field giving up six earned runs on six hits and five walks. Though it seemed like eons ago by the time the game ended Kennedy's was a familiar performance for a Chase Field crowd that had seen him struggle in a Sedona Red jersey for the first four months of the season. Kennedy entered the 2013 season as the team ace after winning ...

Speak your mind, rant about games, mods and the development scene, it's simple and who knows maybe someone will read it and agree. It will feel right!

Butter Chicken in Ludhiana: Travels in Small Town India
Picador, 2006 - Cities and towns - 273 pages
A little over a decade ago, Pankaj Mishra travelled through the small towns of India and found they had shed their sleepy, half-apologetic air; brash and ostentatious, kitschy and clamorous, here was an India in transition. A convent-educated young woman from Jhansi aspiring to be a beauty queen; a rich young man in Gujarat speaking casually of murdering Muslims; Naxalites in Bihar trying to foment revolution; small shopkeepers planning a vacation in London --- Mishra captured, with irony and humour, a people rushing headlong to their tryst with modernity.
Acutely observed and rendered with insight and biting wit, "Butter Chicken in Ludhiana" is a contemporary classic, now revised and featuring a new introduction by the author.
'"Butter Chicken in Ludhiana" is a marvellous travel book about small-town India, where the village and the city, the folk and the kitsch, and the comic and the violent threaten to converge' Ashis Nandy
'A love-letter to the real republic. No other book defines as clearly, and with such troubled irony, our last decade of change' Amitava Kumar

Individual defensive player projections for NFL Playoffs: Divisional Round
Your playoff league has IDPs? Awesome. Hopefully these can help with that.
Fantasy football and fantasy baseball assassins
Your playoff league has IDPs? Awesome. Hopefully these can help with that.
In Week 17 we have a lot of potential game scripts. Let's talk about some of them. Just to be clear, I know you might have two-week championship weeks so your season-long team may still be going. But I'm going to focus mostly on daily fantasy football this week, the final week of the NFL [...]
This week is the same as all of the others for our individual defensive player projections. I'm not going to tell you they are super accurate. I haven't studied the injury report, as you can tell by Chris Borland's place among the top-5. Borland, who has been outstanding as Patrick Willis' injury replacement, has a [...]
I'm like a broken record when it comes to individual defensive players. I don't put a ton of time into these projections. I'm not up on injuries or changes in playing time except in the case of players on my rosters.
I say it every week and I'm going to keep saying it. Our individual defensive player projections are good, but they are not as well-manicured as the rest. I don't spend any time on matchups, looking up injured players or making sure players are still starting. They are weighted toward tackles, which are easier to predict.
I said in the offense vs. defense article that I don't typically recommend playing a lot of players from the Thursday game in daily fantasy sports, but I feel like we should reconsider this week. The sportsbooks have put a big over/under on this thing and there are some player matchups to take advantage of.
It looks like I forgot to put int he fantasy points calculation on Thursday. Oops. It's fixed now. DeAndre Levy is our top defender this week.

U.S. Marshals, ATF agents raid home Thursday
CORPUS CHRISTI - Agents with the U.S. Marshal's office arrested a known gang member and recovered guns and drugs Thursday from a home less than a block away from a local elementary school.
The task force searched a home about 2 p.m. in the 400 block of Ashland Drive looking for a San Antonio man wanted on warrants for probation violation, said Bo Collins, U.S. Marshals spokesman.
The intended target was not at the home. Instead, agents found four handguns, a rifle, a shotgun and small amounts of cocaine and marijuana, Collins said.
Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also arrested three men at the scene. The men's names were not released Monday.
U.S. Marshals searched for the San Antonio man, eventually locating him at an apartment in the 3500 block of Cottonwood Street.
Santos Mendoza, 27, of San Antonio was arrested on five warrants for probation violation, stemming from charges including aggravated assault, unlawful carrying of a weapon, forgery and two counts of burglary of a building, Collins said.
The group could face additional charges because of the home's proximity to Windsor Park Elementary School, Collins said.

List of binary codes
This is a list of some binary codes that are (or have been) used to represent text as a sequence of binary digits "0" and "1". Fixed-width binary codes use a set number of bits to represent each character in the text, while in variable-width binary codes, the number of bits may vary from character to character.
Five-bit binary codes[edit]
A number of different five-bit codes were used for early punched tape systems.
Five bits per character only allows for 32 different characters, so many of the five bit codes used two sets of characters per value referred to as FIGS (figures) and LTRS (letters), and reserved two characters to switch between these sets. This effectively allowed the use of 60 characters.
The following early computer systems each used their own five-bit codes:
- J. Lyons and Co. LEO (Lyon's Electronic Office)
- English Electric DEUCE
- University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ILLIAC
- Ferranti Mercury, Pegasus, and Orion systems [1]
More general five-bit standard codes are:
- International Telegraph Alphabet No 1 (ITA1) - Also commonly referred to as Baudot code[2]
- International Telegraph Alphabet No 2 (ITA2) - Also commonly referred to as Murray code [3][4]
- American Teletypewriter code (USTTY) - A variant of ITA2 used in the USA [5]
- DIN 66006 - Developed for presentation of ALGOL/ALCOR programs on paper tape and punch cards
Finally, the steganographic code commonly known as Bacon's cipher uses groups of 5 binary valued elements to represent letters of the alphabet.
Six-bit binary codes[edit]
Six bits per character allows 64 distinct characters to be represented.
Examples of six-bit binary codes are:
- International Telegraph Alphabet No 3 (ITA3) - derived from the Moore ARQ code, and also known as the RCA
- Six-bit BCD (Binary Coded Decimal), used by early mainframe computers.
- Six-bit ASCII subset of the primitive seven-bit ASCII
- Braille - Braille characters are represented using six dot positions, arranged in a rectangle. Each position may contain a raised dot or not, so Braille can be considered to be a six-bit binary code.
See also: Six-bit character codes
Seven-bit binary codes[edit]
Examples of seven-bit binary codes are:
- ASCII - The ubiquitous ASCII code was originally defined as a seven-bit character set. The ASCII article provides a detailed set of equivalent standards, and variants. In addition, there are various extensions of ASCII to eight-bits (see Eight-bit binary codes)
- CCIR 476 - Extends ITA2 from 5 to 7 bits, using the extra 2 bits as check digits [6]
- International Telegraph Alphabet No 4 (ITA4) [7]
Eight-bit binary codes[edit]
- Extended ASCII - A number of standards extend ASCII to eight bits by adding a further 128 characters, such as:
- EBCDIC - Used in early IBM computers and current System i and System z computers
10 bit binary codes[edit]
- AUTOSPEC - Also known as Bauer code. AUTOSPEC repeats a five-bit character twice, but if the character is one with odd parity, the repetition is inverted [8]
16 bit binary codes[edit]
- UCS-2 - An obsolete encoding capable of representing the basic multilingual plane of Unicode
32 bit binary codes[edit]
- UTF-32/UCS-4 - A four-bytes-per-character representation of Unicode
Variable length binary codes[edit]
- UTF-8 - Encodes characters in a way that is mostly compatible with ASCII but can also encode the full repertoire of Unicode characters with sequences of up to 4 8-bit bytes
- UTF-16 - Extends UCS-2 to cover the whole of Unicode with sequences of 1 or 2 16-bit elements
- GB 18030 - A full-Unicode variable length code designed for compatibility with older Chinese multibyte encodings
- Huffman coding - A technique for expressing more common characters using shorter bit strings than are used for less common characters
Data compression systems such as Lempel–Ziv–Welch are able to compress arbitrary binary data. They are therefore not binary codes themselves, but may be applied to binary codes to reduce storage needs
- Morse code is a variable length telegraphy code, which traditionally uses a series of long and short pulses to encode characters. It relies on gaps between the pulses to provide separation between letters and words, as the letter codes do not have the "prefix property". Morse code can be represented as a binary stream by allowing each bit to represent one unit of time. Thus a "dit" or "dot" is represented as a single 1 bit, while a "dah" or "dash" is represented as three consecutive 1 bits. Spaces between symbols, letters and words are represented as one, three, or seven consecutive 0 bits. For example "UP" in Morse Code is "..- .--.", which could be represented in binary as "101011100010111011101".
