Dancing with the Stars Recap: And the Winner Is ...
Originally posted 05/20/2015 01:25AM
After 10 weeks, 13 episodes and a two-hour finale highlighting them all, Dancing with the Stars season 20 is officially in the books, dance fans. And as usual, it was a season filled with countless incredible dances and a handful of painful ones, stars that made us roll our eyes and stars that made us cry, rewarding victories and astonishing exits, medical miracles and plenty of gratuitous Chmerkovskiy chest.
Before we get to the final fusion dances and the last, agonizing three minutes, let's take a look at that jam-packed first hour.

Dancing with the Stars Recap: The Finals
Originally posted 05/18/2015 11:35PM
It's finals night, Dancing with the Stars fans, and after the shocking elimination last week where one of the best remaining dancers was cut, many of you seemed to think tonight would be just a two couple race. But after watching each of them perform their two dances tonight, did any of you change your minds?
Let's hit the dance floor and break down each couple's repeated favorite dance and their final Freestyles; dances that I'm betting are going to get a lot of people in trouble on Tuesday for watching – over and over again – instead of working. (That's right, I'm looking at you.)

In a preview of this week's Lip Sync Battle against sister Julianne, Derek Hough does his best Macklemore impression as he lip syncs along to "Can't Hold Us."
Although Hough, 29, does an impressive job of rapping along to every word of the fast-moving song, he doesn't show off too many of the dance moves that have earned him five mirror ball trophies on Dancing With the Stars, opting instead for moves of the "run, jump, pose" variety.
Dancing with the Stars Recap: Judges' Choice Results
Originally posted 05/12/2015 11:35PM
After Monday night's impressive and emotional semifinal performances, would it be such a terrible idea to just hand out four Mirrorballs and call everyone a winner? I don't think so. But unlike kindergarten soccer, someone has to win, and someone has to lose in this glittery game.
On Tuesday, one of the couples who earned some of the season's highest scores from the judges was cut, which I'm sure created an uproar from many armchair dance "experts" watching. But, to be fair, this show is as much about the popular vote as it is about dance skill, and, like it or not, sometimes it's not all about the dance. Unjust? I'll let you debate it in the comments, but for now, let's discuss what happened and find out which couples are left to battle it out for the season 20 golden Mirrorball Trophy next week.

Dancing with the Stars Recap: Judges' Choice Night
Originally posted 05/12/2015 12:40AM
It's semifinals week, Dancing with the Stars fans, which this season means more than the usual ramped up chest exposure and ramped up Hough exposure; season 20 means ramped up judge exposure! But really, why has it taken 20 seasons to integrate the judges into the dance to make them prove they're worthy?
I've spent 10 years Googling Carrie Ann Inaba each season to remember what it is that qualifies her to critique ballroom dancing – or any dancing – and 10 years discovering that being a fly girl is apparently all it takes. (That's 20 seasons of face palms for those of you keeping score.)
Tonight's semifinals was about more than technique, skill, and judges stepping on toes (metaphoric and literal) however, it was a show full of surprises, emotion, and a lot of tissues ...

Tough guy actor MICKEY ROURKE recently underwent a battery of cancer tests at two New York clinics!
The 60-year-old former boxer had been complaining to doctors that he was feeling sluggish and losing clumps of hair – and he was certain he was suffering from potentially deadly thyroid cancer, say sources.
But it seems to be just a scare. While Mickey's life does not appear to be in immediate danger, doctors discovered that he has an enlarged thyroid, and they've ordered additional testing to determine the cause.
One medical expert tells The ENQUIRER that a larger-than-normal thyroid – the butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck – could be caused by cancer.
"Mickey was scared to death," a source divulged. "He was absolutely convinced he had cancer when he went in for testing.
"His brother Je died of lung cancer cancer seven years ago, and ever since, Mickey's believed that the same fate would befall him.
"He also had a friend who suffered from a brain tumor, and he did not want to go through the same thing."
About six months ago, says the source, Mickey went to his regular doctor because he wasn't feeling well. After numerous tests, it was determined that his thyroid was "significantly larger than it should be," according to the source.
"They wanted Mickey to undergo more tests and, needless to say, he was nervous and worried," said the source.
Noted California-based thyroid expert Dr. Richard Shames, author of "Thyroid Mind Power," says there are many things that can cause a person's thyroid to become enlarged, including cancer.
"Although it's a cancer that doesn't usually spread, it can kill and should be checked out," Dr. Shames explained. "Doctors will do an ultrasound the shape and condition of the gland.
"If it seems that a nodule or growth is causing the enlargement, they'd do a biopsy to determine whether the growth is benign or malignant.
"If it's malignant, then surgeons would perform a thyroidectomy to remove the gland and check surrounding lymph nodes for any evidence that the cancer has spread."
Dr. Shames added that even benign growths should be carefully monitored, because they can become cancerous.
ACCORDING to the American Cancer Society, there were more than 56,000 new cases of thyroid cancer in the U.S. in 2012, and an estimated 2,700 people died from the disease.
Mickey, who was nominated for an Oscar for his role in "The Wrestler," has had his share of medical problems over the years.
He was three fights away from a cruiserweight title when he was forced to retire for neurological reasons. He's also undergone a series of surgeries on his face to rebuild his bashed-up nose with cartilage from his ear. But the recent cancer scare has apparently turned his world upside-down.
"Mickey's going back for more tests," added the source. "He's still on pins and needles."

text: Media Surprisingly, people spend more time reading books on smartphones than tablets Image Credit: Photo via Henrik Berggren/Twitter August 21, 2013 10:55 AM Tom Cheredar 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. MALMÖ, Sweden — Reading books on my tiny iPhone screen is something I do out of circumstance, never by choice. (For example, I decided to read fellow staffer John Koetsier's new sci-fi novel on my smartphone during a layover on a recent international flight because my iPad was buried in the middle of my luggage.) And apparently, I'm not the only one, according to e-reader startup Readmill. People actually spend more time reading books on their phone overall compared to tablet usage, according to Readmill CEO and cofounder Henrik Berggren, who spoke about "disruption" in digital media at the Media Evolution conference in Sweden today. Additionally, Readmill's data also shows that people spend more time reading per book on their phones, more frequently pull up books on their phone, and are much more social about books in general. Above: Readmill's slide showing book-reading activity on phones and tablets.Image Credit: Photo by Tom Cheredar/VentureBeat The Germany-based Readmill produces a mobile e-reader app for books on iOS that offers a better reading experience than Apple's native iBooks app. It has support for Adobe DRM-protected ePub and PDF formats. (It's got enhanced social, sharing, and book recommendation features that makes it stand out, too.) One of its primary sources of revenue includes selling data about reading activity to publishers, digital stores, and developers — so I'm inclined to believe the startup's observations about smartphone usage is sound. After seeing the data, I kind of understand why smartphones could be the future vehicle for books. The one thing holding me back from smartphone reading is definitely the subpar reader experience compared to tablets, which Readmill is trying to improve. Another thing I found interesting from Berggren's talk was the amount of time it takes people to finish a book in different regions. Readmill has more U.S. users than any other region, followed by Germany. I honestly thought Americans were probably among the slowest readers, but that's not the case. According to Readmill's data, Americans spend about 30 hours per book while Germans take 36 hours. (Go USA?!) Part of that might have something to do with Germans reading books while on their commute home using public transportation, which obviously means they're going to have many more distractions in between reading. This story is part of our coverage of the Media Evolution conference in Malmö, Sweden this week. Disclosure: Media Evolution paid for my airfare and hotel. My coverage remains objective. Top photo via Henrik Berggren/Twitter VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

On Saturday night, Butler beat Gonzaga 64-63 after Butler's Roosevelt Jones intercepted the inbounds pass from Gonzaga's David Stockton and floated a basket in at the buzzer. The call from Brandon Gaudin on the Butler Radio Network was pretty amazing, as he called the action on the court perfectly, went crazy after the shot went in, then dialed his emotions back a little bit to finish off his call of the game. But I guess as a Butler radio announcer, he's pretty used to calling games that end like this, right?

Kobe makes a very valid point by being upset with Dahntay Jones, as undercutting jump shooters has been a huge problem in the NBA for years. Kobe mentioned in his postgame presser that he felt he Dahntay "Jalen Rose'd me," and it is very true. Check out this article from the LA Times in which Jalen Rose admitted (ten years later) on a Grantland podcast that he intentionally hurt Kobe Bryant during Game 2 of the 2000 NBA Finals (Video here, fast forward to the 2:25 mark). The issue isn't the tight defense, it is the undercutting the shooter. Bruce Bowen has made a career out of trying to end other players' careers, and it was celebrated like he was some sort of defensive genius. Unfortunately there were no rules against his tactics, so they couldn't call him for his dirty play. One way or another the issue still needs to be addressed and as it sits now the Mamba is out 'indefinitely thanks to an intentional or unintentional dirty play. The Lakers lost on the last second miss by Kobe Bryant by a score of 96-92. [The Big Lead] Article found on: Cosby Sweaters

Best of Malaysia , June 2015
manuel rodriguez yague
Malaysia may be not as well-known destination as some of its Southeast neighbours, as Thailand or Vietnam, but it´s, no doubt, a fascinating country worth discovering. It has a rich history and nature and a balanced and exuberant mix of cultures that challenges the travellers.

This was a perfect way to see all the different parts of Malaysia in one amazing trip. Highlights of the trip for me were Melaka and its amazing history, snorkelling in the Perhentian Islands (found Nemo!), amazing artwork in Penang and our wonderful hosts at the Sukasuka Homestay.

Women in bikinis playing beach volleyball on site of 16th century jousting
nepal This really happened:
Women in bikinis were playing beach volleyball … in the rain … under the lights … in a 15,000-seat stadium built at Horse Guards Parade, the hallowed stretch of pavement that once hosted jousting tournaments in the 16th century for Henry VIII and now is the site of the "Trooping of the Colour" to celebrate the Queen's birthday.
On the sidelines, NBA stars Kevin Durant, James Harden and Carmelo Anthony played with blue and yellow volleyballs, dribbling them between their legs, spinning them on their fingers.
Between sets, scantily-clad cheerleaders danced on the 4,000 tons of sand imported from a special quarry in western Canada.
Music pumped through the stadium and echoed off the Old Admiralty building and the Churchill War Rooms, and Westminster Abbey and Parliament and 10 Downing Street and, on the opposite side of St. James's Park, Buckingham Palace.
Then Big Ben began started tolling. It was midnight.
"I walk out on the court and I'm like, 'Look at that chandelier lit up in the window,' " U.S. star Misty May-Treanor said of the nightly dream sequence that has become the Olympic beach volleyball tournament. "We don't see architecture like that too much in California. And the horses. I mean, we're welcomed by guards and horses. Who gets that?
"We played by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, which was pretty neat. But to have to get permission from the (royal) family to play on their land, that's pretty cool."
Pretty cool, and pretty surreal. There has never been an Olympic venue quite like it, and it's hard to imagine there ever will be. You wonder: Is Queen Elizabeth peeking through the curtains at the spectacle?
London's wacky mayor, Boris Johnson, wrote a column for The Daily Telegraph newspaper about 20 reasons these Olympics would be memorable. One of them was:
"As I write these words there are semi-naked women playing beach volleyball in the middle of the Horse Guards Parade immortalized by Canaletto … The whole thing is magnificent and bonkers."
Maybe the most bonkers part was what happened on the special "Redhill 28" sand Wednesday night and Thursday morning. May-Treanor and partner Kerri Walsh, the queens of beach volleyball, lost a set.
You read that right. They won gold medals in the 2004 and 2008, never losing a single set along the way. The streak was up to 36 when Austrian sisters Doris and Stefanie Schwaiger jumped out to a 5-1 lead and won the opening set 21-17.
May-Treanor and Walsh would recover and prevail in three sets (winning the final sets 21-8, 15-10), but their air of invincibility was shattered, or at least severely dented, amid the air of royal pageantry.
"They're a very good team, you can't forget that," Stefanie Schwaiger said when asked if the Americans can be beat. "But yes, they can. They can."
May-Treanor and Walsh refused to make any of the numerous excuses at their disposal. Walsh is suffering from pink eye (her left eye is noticeably swollen).

For a child living in the developing world, poverty looms like a mountain: immense, impassable, immovable. When a child is sponsored, however, all of that changes. With a sponsor in their corner, obstacles can be overcome. Twenty-three One Child Matters' sponsors and team leaders set out to do that very thing for a child in need.
On September 19th, our climbers traveled to Kenya to meet their sponsored child and prepare to take on a challenge that was unequalled: climbing the highest freestanding mountain in the world at more 19,341 feet. You might think that standing on the summit of Kilimanjaro would be the highlight of the trip—but it was easily matched by the joy the climbers experienced when they met their sponsored child. Knowing that they were climbing for their sponsored child gave them the strength and courage that they needed during the most grueling days of the climb.
This incredible journey was captured on video so that everyone can experience a piece of the adventure. We are so proud of our climbers and so thankful for the blessing that they are to their child—a child who knows that someone is in their corner, ready to help them overcome the obstacles they face.
They've got hearts bigger than Kilimanjaro – meet our adventurers and the children whose lives will change because of their climb!

A wonderful YA debut full of drama for two very different sisters.It's off-season at the Jersey shore, when the boardwalk belongs to the locals. Rosie is 15 and her sister Skate is 16. Their dad, an amiable drunk, is spending a few weeks in jail while their cousin Angie looks after them in their falling-down Victorian on the beach. Skate and her boyfriend Perry are madly in love, inseparable—until now, when Perry goes off to Rutgers. Rosie is shyer than Skate, but she's drawn to Nick, a boy in their Alateen group. What happens to Rosie and Skate in a few tumultuous weeks is deftly shaded, complex, and true. Readers will be caught up in each girl's shifting feelings as the story plays out within the embrace of their warmhearted community.
Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, August 15, 2009:"The novel expertly captures the ever-hopeful ache of adolescents longing for love, stability, and certainty."Starred Review, Booklist, October 1, 2009:"This is a novel as brisk and refreshing as an ocean breeze."Review, New York Times Books Review, January 17, 2010:"In capturing the miscues of first love and shifting family dynamics, Rosie and Skate is as sharp as a splinter on the boardwalk."

SF@Seattle (in Week 2) is an NBC Sunday night game, but Seattle@SF (in Week 14) is just a Sunday afternoon game. Granted, the latter is in the "flex" portion of the schedule, so there's always an outside chance that it'll get moved to Sunday night if the intrigue is high enough.
As much as people in general like San Francisco and Seattle (and fans of other teams may disagree), I don't think it's fair to award the SNF game twice in one season to the same match-up. There are 30 other teams that play home-and-away games, in fact every single team plays three of them each year. What makes SF vs SEA the most intriguing of them all?

The new SRO, which will be named at a later date and is expected to begin operations in the second quarter of 2007, will consist of the current 2,400-person NASD organization and approximately 470 of NYSE Regulation's member regulation, arbitration and related enforcement team. The new SRO will operate from Washington, D.C. ; New York , N.Y.; and 18 District and Dispute Resolution office locations around the country.
NYSE Regulation CEO Richard G. Ketchum will serve as the non-executive chairman of the organization's Board of Governors during a three-year transition period and remain CEO of NYSE Regulation, Inc. NYSE Regulation will continue to oversee market surveillance and listed company compliance at the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Arca.
NASD Chairman and CEO Mary L. Schapiro will serve as CEO of the combined organization, which will be responsible for regulatory oversight of securities firms, arbitration and, among other things, the professional training, testing and licensing of registered representatives and industry utilities like NASD's Alternative Display Facility, OTC Bulletin Board and Trade Reporting Facility.
"This is a significant step forward for America 's investors and for our nation's capital markets," said Christopher Cox, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. "Protecting investors from fraud in today's complex, integrated markets requires that regulators look across markets to prevent wrongdoers from exploiting the seams in regulatory jurisdiction. Eliminating overlapping regulation, establishing a uniform set of rules, and placing oversight responsibility in a single organization will therefore enhance investor protection while increasing competitiveness in our markets."
Currently, NASD regulates more than 5,100 securities firms throughout the United States. Of this total, almost 200 firms, including most of the industry's largest, are also members of the NYSE and regulated by both organizations. With this consolidation, those dually regulated firms and their registered representatives will ultimately be subject to one set of rules created and enforced by a single SRO.
The non-binding letter of intent has been unanimously approved by the NASD Board of Governors and approved by the boards of directors of NYSE Regulation and NYSE Group. The transaction is subject to completion of definitive documentation and customary closing conditions. The transaction will require certain amendments to the NASD bylaws, which are subject to an NASD member vote and the execution of a definitive agreement. The plan also is subject to review and approval by the SEC.
"NASD and NYSE Regulation recognize that world markets and regulation are changing," said Ms. Schapiro. "Rather than stand by and let events overtake us, we have chosen to lead and help shape a better system of regulation that is good for investors and securities firms of all sizes."
Mr. Ketchum stated, "New York Stock Exchange Regulation and NASD have worked extremely hard to coordinate and harmonize our regulatory oversight of some 180 of our nation's largest securities firms. Upon completion of this agreement, we will take the further step of eliminating overlapping regulation of those firms by creating a new, single self-regulatory organization. This streamlined approach will benefit the public, the firms and U.S. capital markets. It is an idea whose time has come."

Known for her strong, salty roles on TV's "Two and a Half Men" and "Bosom Buddies," actress Holland Taylor was inspired to write about a personal hero and subsequently wound up on Broadway with her first play, the one-woman show Ann. Taylor stars as outspoken Texas Governor Ann Richards, a woman known for her sense of humor and down-home logic. Rising to national prominence after giving the keynote address at the 1988 Democratic National Convention, Richards became a voice for women's rights in the American political landscape. Benjamin Endsley Klein directs the production at the Vivian Beaumont Theater. Read the Playbill interview with Taylor.

Feel free to swim with flamboyant style in The Finals Solid Butterfly Back Lycra. Ideal for training and fitness swimming.
NEW!Now you can comment & reply on customer reviews. Simply click "comment" below any review.
Fit great at the start and was true to size, but after a couple wears the fabric started to collect in little beads. Its been 10 weeks and the material hangs off my body and is so saggy it looks ridiculous.

This suit fit perfectly. Has the right amount of stretch so my daughter feels comfortable going all out while racing. She is a top heavy teen and this suit keeps everything in place while still being comfortable and flexible .
I worried that it would be too big but the suit fits nicely and feels great.
Swim suit that fits great. Will be used regularly. Fits well and seems like it will last a long time.
I purchased this in red 3 months ago for my daughter, who practices in it 3-4 days a week. Love that it's lined, has held up well and looks great. The color has started to fade recently but she doesn't rinse it out like she should. Will probably buy this again due to the quality.
i like it
This is the second "The Finals" suit that I have bought. I disappointed that the suit I bought last year wasn't available in my size when I needed to order a replacement this year, but I was very happy with this one that I chose as an alternative. I like the design, the butterfly back is not too wide, which is important for me from a design point of view. It is comfortable and feels good in the water. My last suit by "The Finals" lasted a good year with a lot of use without losing any elasticity, so I am very happy with the product.
Fits great, looks great on
I use the suit as a basic training suit and it's great.
Get an alert when we add new styles of The Finals! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.
Since 1976, The Finals has been applying the concept of exclusive factory-direct marketing to racing swimsuits and accessories, and they have steadily worked their way to being the nation's largest team supplier of competition swimwear. Offering a complete selection of superbly designed, carefully constructed swimwear, swim accessories, bags, goggles and more, The Finals works hard to keep their aquatic equipment fun, functional and affordable.

Photoshop CS5 for Photographers provides comprehensive Photoshop training targeting the needs of photographers. In this course, author Chris Orwig demonstrates the fundamental skills used to enhance digital photos, including managing and correcting color, sharpening, making selections and adjustments, retouching, and printing from Photoshop. In addition to teaching the techniques that enable photographers to refine and publish their photos, the course includes live-action segments that encourage thinking photographically and shooting with Photoshop's capabilities in mind. Exercise files are included with the course.
You know the Lens Correction filter was primarily built for photography of objects or of products or of architecture and buildings and whatnot, yet believe it or not, it can work incredibly well on people photographs as well. Let's take a look at how we can use this filter in order to create perhaps a little bit more of a flattering look. Now in this case, with this portrait, I really like it. I like the expression and whatnot. I like how we're really close to the subject. Yet there's a little bit of distortion, and I want to remove that again in order to create a touch more of a flattering look.
Let's copy that background layer, press Command+J or Ctrl+J, and then let's go ahead and name this layer c1 for correction one. The first thing we are going to do is navigate to our Filter pulldown menu then we're going to open up the Lens Correction dialog. Once we're in the Lens Correction dialog, we're going to go to Custom. And all that we are going to do here is simply remove a bit of distortion. So I am going to go ahead and click and drag to the right in order to do so. Already you can see that the image is looking much better. It's kind of evening out the face a little, making the nose a touch smaller, and again keep in mind that this technique and the one that we will do in a second works well on all different types of people photographs.
Okay, well let's click OK in order to apply this. Really simple adjustment but nonetheless really adding a little bit to making this image look more interesting. Well, the next thing that I want to do is I actually I want to Free Transform this a little bit, and I am going to do that by pressing Command+T on a Mac, Ctrl+T on a PC, and then I am going to go ahead and click and drag up. You can really get away with doing this probably about to 5% more than the actual file size here. And a lot of times, this can really just add that extra little touch to the image, and so I am going to go ahead and reposition this and then press Enter or Return.
Let's take a look at our before and after. Here we have it before and then now after. In that final free transformation adjustment, we can really add a little bit of length to the photograph and whenever you add a bit of length to someone it makes them look a little thinner, a little taller and a lot of times it looks a little bit more flattering. So again keep in mind that while we applied this technique to a close-up portrait, I've found and I think you'll soon discover that these two techniques together work incredibly well in a wide range of circumstances.

The interim patient data suggest that the Humacyte investigational bioengineered vessel may potentially be associated with low rates of vessel clotting, low infection rates, and low rates of surgical interventions. Low rates of clotting and intervention are consistent with preclinical data from animal testing that indicated little intimal hyperplasia. Preclinical data also indicated that, in animals, investigational vessels were remodeled to become living and more similar to native tissue. To date in the Polish study, the investigational vessel has remained open to blood flow (patent), with no indication of an immune response in recipients, no aneurysms (abnormal widening or ballooning of part of an artery due to weakness in the blood vessel wall), and flow rates and durability suitable for dialysis. Longer follow-up and additional clinical studies will be required to confirm these preliminary observations.
Co-authors on the presentation were: Drs. Marek Ilzecki, Tomasz Jakimowicz, Alison Pilgrim, Stanislaw Przywara, Jacek Szmidt, Jakub Turek, Wojciech Witkiewicz, Norbert Zapotoczny, Tomasz Zubilewicz, and Laura Niklason.
Described by Investigator as "Breakthrough Investigational Technology"
"Based on our experience to date, this is breakthrough investigational technology," said Principal Investigator Prof. Tomasz Zubilewicz, M.D., Ph.D., head, Department of Vascular Surgery and Angiology, Medical University of Lublin, Poland.

At the University of Texas at Austin, there are calls to take down a statue of the Confederate president on campus.
An astronomical rise in throat and neck cancers in men is blamed on the human papillomavirus or HPV which also causes cervical cancer in women.
In fact, some researchers say these cancers in men may outnumber the cases of cervical cancer within a decade.
Infection with the virus, which is spread primarily through sexual contact, can be prevented through vaccination.
An advisory committee for the Centers for Disease Control is recommending vaccination for 11 and 12 year-old boys.
The vaccine has been routinely offered to girls since 2006.
Studies show that the vaccine is safe and effective. But it's still been controversial because the virus is spread through sexual contact.
From controversial new textbooks to a Maverick family reunion, here are stories from Jeremy Hobson's week in Houston and San Antonio.

Todd Bodine will make a milestone start Saturday night in theTruck Series race at Chicagoland Speedway. The event will be the 200th for Bodine, and it will make him the only driver with at least 200 starts in all three of NASCAR's national series. ''You get into this sport because you love it, want to go in circles, win races and have fun," said the 48-year-old Bodine. "And here we are 21 years later with all these starts, and a lot of wins, good times and great friends. "It seems just like yesterday I was running my first race at Stafford Springs.'' Bodine has made 241 starts in NASCAR's top Sprint Cup Series, and he has 325 starts in the second-tier Nationwide Series. With a total of 766 starts, Bodine ranks 20th all-time in combined series starts. But Bodine is chasing wins, and he would like to add to that total at Chicago. The two-time Truck Series champion has 22 victories in that series, but is winless so far this season. He'd like to end that Saturday night in his Red ...

I don't know if there's a way to disable the automask tho, the app is pretty basic. Did you try sending logs to the SD card? Was there an actual log there, or did it just fail the same way?
Hi folx, hi rpierce99,
1st of all THX for the tool ,
I use it with a SGS+ on a CustomRom based on 2.3.6 KPU. I /We try to figure out a problem concerning the orginal charging cradle from samsung. All new stock kernel recognise the charging cradle, but custom kernels aren't able to recognise it. So the developers need a lot of logs.
I teted your tool yesterday the first time and had a look at the data.txt but there are only a lot of the character "#" Is it normal ? Do i have to change the in this post mentioned file ? Or is there another reason (improper masking ? i haven't set anything in the field)
THX for your answeres and your work
More than likely there is a regex expression being passed in that is matching every character, make sure there are no blanks in your list of custom filters. The latest version shouldn't allow empty account names to screw it up (it skips the account name if it's empty) but it's possible something is slipping through. I can make a version that doesn't force filter if you want. Let me know if you don't find an empty entry in your custom filters and I'll build a version that will work for you. If you want to chat about it drop by #xdandroid on freenode and we can talk.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London

Rating: 5.0
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 08:30AM
Beresford said the investment was 'relatively modest' compared with the spend of international tour operators.
Both Beresford and John Penrose, the minister for tourism and heritage, came under fire at an ABTA conference for funding a campaign discouraging British consumers from holidaying abroad.
In the TV ad, which rolled out in March, actor Stephen Fry asks 'Why on earth would anyone want to go abroad in 2012?'
Beresford told Marketing: 'It's worth pointing out that overseas tourist boards spent £52m in the last financial year trying to seduce Brits overseas, while hotels, airlines and tour operators spent an additional £116m for the same purpose. I think this puts a £5m campaign into perspective.'
He added that initial Visit-England research found 56% of consumers that saw the ad would be 'more likely' to consider the UK for a short break.

continued Since Angellilo was absent and the issue is something he feels strongly about, Jones and Mayor Marty Hubbard both suggested the question be tabled until the board's next meeting on Sept. 22, which was unanimously agreed. Dove said she would talk with Angelillo and also return for the Sept. 22 meeting for further discussion.
The board then heard a request from the Skaneateles Girls Lacrosse Association to hold its second Veterans Day Remembrance and Thanksgiving Ceremony at 11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 11, in Clift Park. The event will have a flag display, comments by local clergy and a local poet, and will be coordinated with the local American Legion chapter veteran's day observances.
SGLA Board Members Mary Gaffney and Carolyn Tierney, and varsity lacrosse player Emma Ford, presented the request, which was unanimously approved by the board.
After a report from Police Chief Lloyd Perkins that the Labor Day weekend SkanRaces and fire department Field Days events went smoothly and without problems, the board discussed a request from the Fennell Street sports business Endurance Monster to host a four-mile Halloween Run. The race would to go up Fennell Street, over Old Seneca Turnpike and back down Jordan Street.
The trustees agreed that they wanted more information about the event, including routes, water stops, insurance, and number of volunteers, and so voted to table their decision until the next board meeting on Sept. 22.
Trustee Cromp called run "a great idea," but added, "every weekend we get requests for something," and he wondered if there were beginning to be too many events in the village.
Mayor Hubbard agreed, saying, "at some point there will be a tipping point."
Also at the meeting:
—The board accepted the resignation Historic Landmark Preservation Committee member Kihm Winship, and will begin looking for applicants for the vacant seat. The board agreed they hoped to get applicants from people who live inside the village historic district, which none of the current committee members do.
—The board reiterated its intention to hold a public hearing on Thursday, Sept. 22, on a local law concerning the placement of traffic devices and parking meters in the village.
—The board agreed to begin having the DPW remove the iron tree grates around village and have them replaced with dark mulch.

Newbury Park woman arrested in Ventura after vehicle stolen
From staff reports
A 23-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday in Ventura after police chased a vehicle that had been reported stolen.
Police said the chase ended after the driver ran a red light and a stop sign and then failed to make a sharp turn in the 300 block of McGill Avenue shortly after 12:30 p.m.
The vehicle hit another parked vehicle, police said.
Police said the driver was trapped in the stolen vehicle and had to be removed. She was taken to Ventura County Medical Center, where she was treated for facial injuries received in the crash, police said.
Police identified the woman as Crystal Marotta, of Newbury Park. Marotta was arrested on accusations of felony evading and possession of a stolen vehicle, police said.
Police said problem began after a vehicle was stolen from the front of a home along the 900 block of Via Cielito about 11:44 a.m.
The vehicle was equipped a tracking system. About an hour later, a police officer on patrol received a signal from the stolen vehicle's system. Police said the stolen vehicle was parked and unoccupied at a gas station in the 4100 block of Telegraph Road.
Police said they monitored the vehicle and watched as a woman entered it and drove away.
Police said they tried to make a traffic stop but the driver failed to stop and continued on, reaching speeds in excess of 55 mph.
The chase ended on McGill Avenue.
No one else was injured in the incident, police said.

Jenny Dell, Tom Caron Join Red Sox Foundation for Announcement of 2013 Run-Walk to Home Base Event (Photos)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 11/15/12
The Boston Red Sox are widely considered one of the most charitable professional sports organizations in the country, a trend which continued Wednesday with the announcement of the 2013 Run-Walk to Home Base, which will be hosted at Fenway Park. The charity's mission is to provide services for Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans who have been affected by combat stress and traumatic brain injuries. The Run-Walk to Home Base is already responsible for raising over $7 million since 2010, and plans to add to that number with next year's event. The fundraiser will take place at Fenway park on May 4, 2013, and all fundraising information is available at the charity's official website.

Best FreeBSD driver for FX5500 / 89Mhz AGP
Usually best performing driver is the one released when used gfx card series was "on the top". Speaking of my second PC, I'm getting best performance of 7900 card with 9X driver etc /I compared 1xx drivers and 9x by 3DMarks/
When new gfx card series is introduced, most attention of driver developers is going to it, which is well understood.
I'm interested in best performing driver for FX5500 card (FX series).
Assuming that
http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd_1.0-6113.html driver is focused on new 6xxx series cards, is the http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd_1.0-4365.html best driver for FX (FX5500)?
I would also like to know about your experiences with overclocked AGP (89MHz) and FX (FX5500) series. This is a must in my system and in the past this could be delivered only by nvidia (GF2), not ATI.. I know that GF3 series (major problems) and GF4 (mixed luck) don't like this setting. I also heard one succes story with FX5700, so I'm hoping FXs are 89MHz capable..

Fashion's musical chairs commence anew, as Christophe Lemaire leaves Hermes
Fashion isn't a house of cards – where one ill-judged manoeuvre brings the whole thing tumbling down – but rather a game of Kerplunk!. Meaning, if you twiddle the wrong bit, it makes a lot of noise and you lose a few of your marbles, but the whole thing doesn't crash to the ground.
That's what occurred to me when news broke today of Christophe Lemaire's mutual parting of ways with the French luxury juggernaut Hermès.

Her Outdoors: I am a gooseberry fool
One of the plants I inherited when I took over Plot 35a last year was a gooseberry bush. It was quite straggly and had criss-crossing branches and as a result cropped poorly last summer. The handful of gooseberries it did produce, however, were red, not green, and I later found a faded label revealing it [...]

A little bit of history repeating: something old makes something new, at Raf Simons' Dior and Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel
The much-vaunted and oft-debated "point" of haute couture is tied up in history. Haute couture is living history, less a retrograde throwback and more a direct link to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The latter was when "haute couture" as a term was officially incorporated by Charles Frederick Worth, couturier to Empress Eugenie and most of her court; the former was when the idea of a fashion dictator was pioneered by the first celebrity dress designer, Marie Antoinette's "Minister of Fashion" Rose Bertin. Those are some heavy antecedents, but they're ones couturiers often bank on. Buying haute couture is a bit like buying a stake in a past you can never be part of.

Chinese Whispers at Versace, Frankenstein's Monster at Schiaparelli. Haute couture autumn/winter 2014
I'm sure I've talked about the importance of individuality in haute couture before. It's the raison d'être for the thing – couture clothes are complete one-offs, made to the specific measurements and requirements of incredibly wealthy and demanding women. Those demanding women come in all shapes and sizes, with different tastes.
They always have. While haute couture once set the trends – there's an exhibition about to be launched at Paris' Musée Galliera titled "Les Années 50, La Mode en France 1947-1957″, which lauds that golden age – it still had room for disparate voices. Balenciaga showed his unfitted suits when Dior-influenced cinched waists were at their tightest. Chanel, Schiaparelli and Vionnet had violently opposed views of dressing women, but they co-existed, and thrived.

Miu Miu gets trippy, Mary Katrantzou loves letters, Roland Mouret throws up. A last look at pre-spring 2015
Miuccia Prada enjoys having the final word. Perhaps that's why she stole the pre-spring thunder, pitching up in Paris to show her Miu Miu collection on the eve of the haute couture collections and close the season. She does the same at the ready-to-wear, after all. On the other hand, maybe it was her acknowledgement of the new power of pre – the first ever, stand-alone Miuccia Prada-manned cruise show. It's been dribbled into the menswear shows before, but this was a different thing entirely.

Creativity, commerce, and choking tradition: Dior Homme, Hermes, Loewe, Thom Browne in Paris
If you ascend Paris' Eiffel tower – say, during a free moment during the spring/summer 2015 menswear shows – you can look out on a vista relatively unchanged from the first day the tower was opened in 1889, of Baron Haussmann's neoclassical façades and wide avenues. French law ensures that: Second Empire plans are in many cases more or less followed, with "alignement" law still in place to regulates a building's height according to the width of the streets it borders. It's fabulous for a sight-seer who gets to step back in time, almost. But many argue it's choking the development of the city as a whole. Personally, I see a parallel with much of Paris fashion, where tradition can often choke creativity.

Standing to attention: at Raf Simons, clothes worth a closer look
The coupling of great clothes and a great show, where neither one outshines the other, is very rare. It's all the more remarkable, then, that Raf Simons' formula for his eponymous label seems such a sure-fire hit. I tried to think back to a Simons show that hasn't worked, gloriously. Then I realised this was his business' twentieth anniversary. I couldn't think of a single instance.

Interventional Pain Management Techniques to be Performed Exclusively by Trained Medical Physicians to Ensure Patient Safety
NEW YORK, April 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP) announced that the Louisiana Supreme Court has denied a court order filed by the Louisiana State Board of Nursing (LSBN), Louisiana Association of Nurse Anesthetists (LANA) and the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) to allow the practice of interventional pain techniques by non-physicians. This ruling means that the permanent injunction issued by the 1st Circuit Court of Appeal is now final.
ASIPP and the Louisiana Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (LSIPP) believe interventional pain management procedures are considered a practice of medicine and should be performed by trained, board certified physicians. Subsequently ASIPP and LSIPP became principal supporters in the case along with the help of the American Medical Association and the American Society of Anesthesiology.
"The utmost concern of these organizations was the safety of patients. When these procedures were being performed by individuals with little or no formal training, patients were unknowingly in potential danger," said Dr. J. Michael Burdine of the Spine Diagnostics Center of Baton Rouge. "Being the first victory of this kind, the case has set a precedent and laid down the groundwork for other states. It will now be easier for others to take action and keep the practice of medicine in the hands of those who have been properly skilled, trained, and licensed to do so."
Dr. Burdine, on behalf of the Spine Diagnostics Center of Baton Rouge, first brought the case to the courts in 2005 in an effort to halt the practice of interventional pain techniques by non-physicians, specifically in this case by Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). It had become commo

ARGONNE, Ill. (Jan. 17, 2008) Twenty research projects have been awarded more than 111 million hours of computing time at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) at Argonne National Laboratory.
The awards are part of a competitively selected group of 55 scientific projects announced Thursday by the Department of Energy's Office of Science. The awards are made through the 2008 Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE), a DOE program that supports computationally intensive, large-scale research projects. DOE has allocated more than 265 million processor-hours for supercomputing and data storage resources located at Argonne, Oak Ridge, Pacific Northwest and Lawrence Berkeley national laboratories.
"The Department of Energy's Office of Science has two of the top ten most powerful supercomputers, and using them through the INCITE program is having a transformational effect on America's scientific and economic competitiveness," DOE Under Secretary for Science Raymond L. Orbach said. "Once considered the domain of only small groups of researchers, supercomputers today are tools for discovery, driving scientific advancement across a wide range of disciplines. We're proud to provide these resources to help researchers advance scientific knowledge and understanding and thereby to provide insight into major scientific and industrial issues."
At Argonne, new and returning INCITE researchers will conduct projects ranging from large-scale simulations of potentially dangerous heart rhythm disorders to running detailed numerical experiments of thermal striping in sodium-cooled fast reactors.
"It is thrilling to see the broad range of scientific projects to be conducted at Argonne," Argonne Director Robert Rosner said. "The investigators on these projects will be able to conduct cutting-edge research that will take only a few weeks or months a relatively short period of time compared to the years a
