Zoo Boise Welcomes Snow Leopard Cubs
Two baby snow leopards born recently at Zoo Boise have an important job in a national species survival plan.
The cubs were born May 23 to parents Kabita and Tashi. They are the first snow leopards born at Zoo Boise.
Like snow leopards in the wild, the cubs have been spending their first few weeks in a den with their mother. As they continue to grow and develop, they will slowly emerge from the den to explore their exhibit for short periods of time. Visitors to the zoo may be able to catch glimpses of the cubs as they begin to explore more.
As a first-time mother, Kabita is doing a fantastic job of caring for the cubs -- one male and one female, according to Dr. Holly Peters, Zoo veterinarian. Zoo staff members have been giving Kabita as much privacy as possible to ensure that she does not become stressed and continues to take excellent care of the cubs.

The birth of these cubs is a significant achievement for Zoo Boise and snow leopard conservation. Tashi and Kabita were paired up as part of the Snow Leopard Species Survival Plan (SSP). The SSP is one of the Association of Zoos and Aquarium's many conservation programs. Its primary role is to serve as a breeding program for selected endangered or threatened speices.
The goal is to maintain a healthy and genetically diverse population for these animals in order to increase their numbers and be able to reintroduce certain zoo-bred animals into their natural habitats, if necessary.
The cubs are part of a mini baby boom occurring at Zoo Boise. Since April, a mangabey monkey, porcupines, skunks and a serval kitten have been born at the zoo.
Zoo Boise invites the community to "Keep Your World Wild"; the zoo turns the act of visiting the zoo into a conservation action. Zoo Boise is accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums, a national organization that supports excellence in animal care, conservation, education and science.

When to go is largely depends on one's vacation time, budget, weather preferences, and whether you consider high prices and crowds worth overcoming to see Guilin during festival time.
Best Time to Visit: April – October
Low Travel Cost Season: November–February. Winter in Guilin is typically cold and damp, but can by dry and even warm.
High Travel Cost Season: April–May, September–October. These months in Guilin have the most comfortable weather and the most beautiful scenery.
Least Desirable Travel Periods: Spring Festival (in late January or early to mid February), Labor Day holiday (1–3 May) and National Day holiday (1–7 October). Millions of Chinese are on the move during the three holidays.
Guilin is a city located in the north of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, which enjoys a subtropical monsoon climate.
March–May: Spring is the beginning of the rainy season (April to July) in Guilin. The weather is humid and it can still be cold. Prepare warm coats and sweaters in your pack. Light rain coat or umbrella is also necessary.
June–August: Guilin's summer is hot and wet. T-shirts and shorts are enough. Take an umbrella in case of rain. Sunglasses, hat, long sleeve shirt, and sun cream may be needed to protect you from the burning sun.
September – November: Autumn in Guilin is pleasantly mild and dry. Be mindful of the big difference in temperature between day and night. Prepare a jacket, sweaters, long shirts and pants. Locals consider the weather dry enough to require lip balm.
December–February: Guilin winters rarely have snow, except on the high mountains, like Longsheng, but it feels very cold with the dampness. It's alternately damp and chilly or warm/cool and dry. A down jacket or overcoat, along with thermal underwear, is needed on many days for protection against the cold.

The hosts are a very hospitable family of three. The father is a retired middle school English teacher, so there will be no communication barrier between you and this family. They are happy to share their lives and tell you more about Chinese culture.
China Highlights can arrange the home stay if you book a China tour with us.
Guilin is famous for its natural scenery. The highlights here are the hills, rivers, and caves of the stunning karst landscape, and the ethnic culture in Longsheng. There are hundreds of attractions in Guilin. The most famous attractions in Guilin are the Li River, Yangshuo and the Longji Terraced Fields.
Three days are enough if you only want to see the karst landscapes. A recommended itinerary is as follows:
Day 1: Sightseeing in Guilin
Day 2: Li River cruise to Yangshuo
Day 3: Yangshuo's countryside
If you want to explore the ethnic culture in Longsheng as well, you will need a day or two more.
China Highlights' travel experts are glad to help you tailor-made a Guilin tour based on your special interests and requirements, or see our Guilin tours.
Guilin cuisine is characterized by its sour and spicy taste. There is a moderate use of spices, particularly chili. The common cooking methods of Guilin cuisine are stir-frying and steaming. Fresh natural ingredients are used in Guilin dishes, including some wild plants and animals which are rarely eaten in the West. Western food is also available in Guilin. It's not hard to find Western restaurants in the popular tourist areas of Guilin and Yangshuo.
Some local Chinese restaurants and most Western restaurants have English menus. If you have special dietary requirements, it's advisable to get e.g. your guide or hotel staff to write them down in Chinese.

Nightlife in Guilin is colorful and relaxed. You can visit the night market in the downtown or have beer in a bar on the pedestrian street. Walking along the lakes or taking a lake cruise at night is popular. If you're going to stay in Yangshuo overnight, then the Impression show is a must-see.
Most attractions in downtown can be reached by public buses. For some in the suburbs, you should take a taxi. There are many buses to Yangshuo and Longsheng every day from Guilin Bus Station and Guilin Railway Station.

In Guilin most hotels, shops and restaurants only accept yuan. A few tourist shops and restaurants accept US dollars. The Bank of China is the only bank providing currency exchange, with braches at the airport and on the main streets of Guilin. Some hotels also exchange currency, but the rate is a little worse than the Bank of China.
If you want to extend your visa in Guilin, you should go to the foreign section of the Guilin Public Security Entry and Exit Bureau for visa extension. Thirty-day tourist visa (L) extensions are usually issued.
The Guilin Public Security Entry and Exit Bureau
Chinese name: 桂林出入境管理处
Address: 16 Shijiayuan Road, Qixing District
Chinese address: 七星区施家园路16号
Telephone: 0773-5829930
Working Hours: 8:30am–12pm, 2:30pm–5:30pm, weekdays
Chinese government establishments work eight hours a day, five days a week. Business hours are generally set between 8:30 am and 5:30 pm. Most shops and restaurants are individual businesses. They work more than eight hours a day including weekends, many opening and closing late. Most banks also work mornings on weekends.
Tipping is an issue among travelers to China since it is not a part of the culture. We suggest you tip in the following situations as an acceptable politeness as well as bonuses for service providers.
Toilets in hotels and airports are usually well kept Western ones. Most public toilets are free and only provide squatting stalls (and urinals). Always carry your own toilet paper.
Electricity in China is 240 volts, alternating at 50 Hz. Some hotels can provide adaptors for guests, but it's better to bring one by oneself.
Internet: Most hotel rooms offer Wi-Fi or an internet cable for your laptop. Guilin Airport and a number of cafés and restaurants also provide free Wi-Fi.
Telephone: China's country code is (00)86 and Guilin's code is (0)773
Making a phone call from China to your home country: Dial 00 + your country code + the usual phone number (less the opening 0).
Making a long distance phone call within China:
China Highlights offers Cell Phone Rental to help you keep in touch (and save money on local offers).
When in Guilin, it's really helpful and practical to learn some Chinese phrases since English is not widely spoken.
Smoking: Smoking in public is very common in China, and Guilin is no exception. Most hotels provide non-smoking rooms. Now more and more restaurants and stores are becoming non-smoking ones.
Spitting: Spitting can still be seen regularly, though in some public areas there is a fine for offenders.
Lines: The Chinese are learning to be patient and stand in line, but sometimes you still find people jumping the queue. Politely let them know that you are waiting in line and they will probably give way to save face.
Crossing the Road: It is difficult to cross the street in China for those who are new to China. People in China cross the street anywhere they want, not necessarily on the zebra crossings. We recommend visitors cross the street on the zebra crossing when the green light is on, because the drivers usually slow down there, though not necessarily stop. If there is no traffic light on the street, then try to join the flow of people. More people are more likely to get the traffic to stop and force a crossing.
Visitors can more easily be cheated in a foreign city. Note some tourist traps help you to avoid them. Click here to see how to avoid tourist traps.
Most foreign travelers feel very safe when traveling in Guilin, but occasionally theft occurs. Take care of your valuables when touring. Keep your passport with you all times (a money belt or zipped pocket is safer) and keep a copy of your passport separately in case of loss. If you lose something or are the victim of a crime, you should dial 110 to call the police immediately.
The People's Hospital is the only hospital which has a "foreign medical qualification".

|The nature of the marvelous in René Depestre's Hadriana dans tous mes rêves
|Belleroche, Jean Élie, 1968-
|My goal is to study the nature of the Marvelous in René Depestre's Hadriana dans tous mes rêves. I want to demonstrate that René Depestre, in his novel, combines a number of surrealist or neo-surrealist premises that have influenced him as a Haitian writer. This goes beyond differences that can be discerned between the "Surrealist marvelous" endorsed by André Breton and the surrealists, and Alejo Capentier's "marvelous real"later proposed by Jacques Stephen Alexis as "marvelous realism" Depestre adapts Haitian natives' perceptions deep-rooted in their historical and social, cultural and religious past and ever-existing political and economical struggle. Taking into account both the surrealist perspective and the Haitian context, I shall address the complexity of the concept of the Marvelous and discuss Depestre's use of "zombification"as a form of metamorphosis, which preserves the mystical nature of Vodou as a religion that syncretizes the Roman Catholic ritual of exorcism of the Christian West and the animist and magical practices inherited from Africa. Scholars have explored the Marvelous and marvelous realism in Depestre's works as a whole, but not in Hadriana dans tous mes rêves specifically. The exclusive nature of this study will show that Depestre draws from Haiti's complex cultural ethos as well as from surrealism'es key principles, to create a hybrid Marvelous typical of Haiti and Depestre'es aesthetic as a writer.

The program is trying to find partners as well as sponsors for this cultural and economic exchange. As a part of the project, the program will be starting in the state of Baden Württemberg, one of the states in the south of Germany. There is a special need on two principal areas, sponsoring the program and providing traineeships. The German Internship Program will also help the students with their VISA and in special situations with extra financial support from the support of general sponsors in Germany.

The book I read most recently is War and Peace by Tolstoy, its pretty good. I also recently read the Eragon series by Christopher Paolini. - Timothy Siler, Aiken
War and Peace centers broadly on Napoleons invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the best-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves behind his family to fight in the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman, who intrigues both men. As Napoleons army invades, Tolstoy vividly follows characters from diverse backgrounds peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity, becoming some of the most moving and human figures in world literature. - barnesandnoble.com

Circadian Rhythms-Biological Clocks is an upper-level undergraduate course taught jointly between the Division of Biological Sciences (as BIMM 116) and the Department of Psychology (as PSYC 133). This 4 credit-hour course explores the fundamental properties and mechanisms of the daily biological clock in humans, other animals, plants, and microbes. Topics include the experimental approaches that are employed to understand how organisms keep time and the relationship of the clock to human health. Prerequisites are Psychology 106 or BILD 1 or consent of instructor.
The course is offered every Fall quarter, taught jointly by Drs. Michael Gorman and Susan Golden, with an enrollment of approximately 300 students. Guest speakers chosen from the CCB faculty will be invited to speak on their areas of specialty.
Michael Gorman
Department of Psychology
Executive Committee, Center for Circadian Biology
I joined the faculty of the UCSD Psychology Department in 1998, where I have witnessed the growth of UCSD as a "world capital" of circadian research. As a psychologist, my work naturally includes a heavy focus on behavior, particularly how the environment influences the rest/activity cycles of rodents and how physiology and behavior are programmed to vary on a season basis. Recently, we have also begun exploring how circadian clocks influence alcohol dependence and addiction in mice. The thrill of this class -- and of my research -- is in illustrating how environments, genes, cells, brains and behavior fit together as a solution to the adaptive problem of a spinning earth tilted on its axis and the consequences of those evolutionary solutions for human behavior.

I'm relatively new to UCSD, moving my lab here in November 2008 after almost 23 years as a professor at Texas A&M University. My specialty is in cyanobacteria -- a type of photosynthetic bacteria sometimes called "bluegreen algae" that carry out the same kind of photosynthesis as plants. So far, cyanobacteria are the only bacteria we know of that have genuine circadian rhythms. My lab developed the genetic model system for studying the cyanobacterial circadian clock, which we approach through genetics, genomics, biochemistry, and structural biology. UCSD has an exceptional strength and breadth of circadian researchers, spanning work like mine to sleep research in humans. This class provides a wonderful forum in which students can tap the rich resource of circadian biology at UCSD, and I'm happy to be a part of it.

I work on the organism that gave us the world, or cyanobacteria. They are responsible for our oxygen environment, and have served as the engine for all plants and algae as the ancestor of the chloroplast. As scientists, we now turn to cyanobacteria as the simplest model of the circadian clock, and as a potential biofuel producer. I study them in Susan Golden's laboratory as a third year PhD student. I balance all this science, with a healthy dose of every board and endurance sport I can try, and a bit of gardening.
Dongyang Li (Tom)
Timing is everything. It turns out, that the conventional wisdom holds true, when it comes to the biology of time. Circadian rhythm has been linked to the functioning of a host of biological processes on different scales from molecules to whole organisms. Our knowledge on how the molecular "cogs" of biological clocks work together has a broad implication on our physical health as well as mental well-being. On a personal note, this is an exciting field that I'm still learning about. I will be glad to help you as we move along in our journey to a better understanding of the ins and outs of chronobiology.

I am a first year master's student conducting research in Dr. Kim Barrett's lab at UCSD's School of Medicine. I study the brain-gut-microbiota axis which is the interaction between your gut's microbiota and your brain. More specifically I look at how pathogens like pathogenic E. coli can affect memory and anxiety. Having taken this course before, I found the most valuable aspect of this course was that it exposed students to how actual scientific research is conducted. This by itself distinguishes this course from almost every other course offered to UCSD undergraduates. You are walked through how researchers conducted their experiments, how they interpreted their results, and how they came up with their next step. All the while, you are learning about circadian biology which is becoming ever popular in numerous fields (I can attest to this at the SOM). In my free time, I enjoy long walks on the beach and competitive ping pong matches.
Jingtong Wang (J)
I completed my undergraduate work at UCSD majoring in Microbiology, and am currently a Master student in Dr. Susan Golden's Lab. My research thesis focuses on the biofilm formation related to the prophage in cyanobacteria, which has potential significance for creating new biotechnology tools, and increasing the efficiency of the biofuel collection. I would be more than happy to help you with this course as well as discuss the research.

I am a graduate student of the Biological Sciences PhD program. Now I am in my fourth year and I work in Pruneda-Paz lab. My research is mainly focused on the cross talk between plant defense response and plant circadian rhythm. Just as our immunity is regulated by the circadian clock, the immunity and defense of plants is also regulated by the clock. There is also some evidence showing the existence of reverse regulation. This is a new and interesting field and I am excited to work in it. I am very happy to have this chance to help the students and learn more about the circadian clock.
The BioClock Studio is an innovative course in which a team of undergraduate students, drawn from diverse disciplines across the arts and the sciences, work collaboratively to develop their scientific and communication skills and produce creative educational materials. UCSD's Center for Circadian Biology (CCB) is home to two dozen research labs that perform world-class research on circadian rhythms (in behavior, body temperature, protein levels, gene expression) in diverse systems (including humans, mice, plants, fungi, tissue culture cells, and cyanobacteria). Students in the BioClock Studio will work with CCB faculty to enhance scientific understanding among different audiences, including the general public, clinicians and researchers outside of circadian biology, and students' academic peers.
During the Winter of 2015, the BioClock Studio will meet twice a week, Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:00-6:20pm. Currently, students can participate in the BioClock Studio by enrolling for 4 credits in any of the following courses, upon approval of their application:
AIP197 (Academic Internship Program)
BISP197 (Biology Research Internship Program)
CAT124 (Sixth College Practicum)
Honors Project
Independent Study (e.g., BIMM 199 or PSYC199)
Initial projects focus mainly on developing new course materials for UCSD's undergraduate course, "Circadian rhythms and biological clocks" (BIMM 116/PSYC133). For the 2014-2015 academic year, the BioClock Studio is seeking students who are interested in pursuing the following projects:
As a longer-term goal, the BioClock Studio will challenge students to translate and communicate research findings to the public to promote more widespread awareness of the importance of circadian rhythms for daily life, work, and health. BioClock Studio students will work closely with researchers in workshop, conference, and interview settings to bridge the communication gap between scientists and the public.
Undergraduate students enrolled at UCSD can apply to participate in the BioClock Studio (Winter 2015) and earn 4 units of course credit as appropriate for their majors or programs.Application instruction.
Advanced Topics in Neuroscience: Neurobiology of Circadian Clocks
Mammalian physiology and behavior is organized in a daily program that allows coordinated anticipation of the 24 hr day/night cycle. To serve this purpose, mammalian cells contain "circadian clocks" composed of genes that interact in oscillatory transcriptional networks within cells and regulate the expression of many other genes critical for cell physiology and metabolism. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of clock genes and circadian regulation for health; circadian clock genes have been directly implicated not only in sleep disorders but also in diabetes, cancer, and bipolar disorder.
For proper functioning of the circadian timing system, all the circadian clocks in the body must be kept synchronized with one another and to the 24 hr day; this is the function of the master circadian pacemaker in the brain, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Like other cells, SCN neurons can generate autonomous circadian rhythms. But SCN neurons are special in several important ways. First, they receive direct photic input from the retina, which allows them to synchronize to the day/night cycle. Second, they have distinct, topographically organized coupling mechanisms which allow them to remain synchronized to one another even in constant darkness. Third, they generate a pronounced circadian rhythm of neuronal firing rate which allows them, through a variety of direct and indirect output pathways, to synchronize other cells throughout the body. Thus, the SCN master pacemaker synchronizes ("entrains") to the light/dark cycle, and in turn synchronizes other subsidiary cellular oscillators. Further, as a result of internal coupling, the SCN also generates a coherent output signal even in the absence of a light/dark cycle, accounting for the "free-running" circadian (ca. 24 hr) rhythms of physiology and behavior that persist under constant conditions

The Vampire Diaries
Michael Trevino Tells Us How He Got That Hot Body – Exclusive
Why does it feel like all our man candy is leaving us? Sniff! We lose Steven R. McQueen (Jeremy), we lose Michael Trevino (Tyler) -- it's just not fair! Of course we still have plenty of gorgeous guys in Mystic Falls to brighten up the screen each week, but losing Tyler's hot bod from the show hurts!
We couldn't help but get a little nostalgic about seeing him strip down on screen in the in the wolf-tastic Episode 2.11, "By The Light Of The Moon"? The newly transformed werewolf was looking lean, mean, and delicious! In an exclusive interview with Wetpaint after the show aired , Michael told us he amped up his workout to look finger licking good for the transformation. So how did he get that physique? Read on to find out.
WP: How'd your workout change to prepare for the transformation?
MICHAEL: I upped it a bit. Probably a little bit of extra cardio.
WP: Take us through your workout. Did you start adding on three weeks ahead?
MICHAEL: Well, no because I stay in shape and go to the gym regularly. So I just upped my cardio a bit and, with the diet, I just watched what I ate a lot more. Especially when it got down to a week before we were shooting. And while we were shooting I made sure to just eat apples and bananas and have a protein shake. I didn't want to have anything too much. Not that it wasn't going to look like I was physically cut but I didn't want to go through what I was going through on a full stomach. So I would just snack throughout the day on both days. Small little snacks every now and then. I didn't want to feel full or uncomfortable. Even though I was really what's uncomfortable with what's happening in it, I didn't want to put more on myself.
WP: How many crunches a day does it take to maintain Ty's abs?
MICHAEL: Um. Uh. I don't know. I don't really keep count. Let's just say a hundred. Yep. A hundred sounds good.
We've got more Exclusives from Michael! Don't miss 'em!

A store employee politely assured Joystiq of the endcap's existence and noted the February 1 launch date, which will coincide with a midnight opening (at least at her location). We've reached out to Blizzard Entertainment and Activision for comment, but, well, this looks pretty legit. Oh, and it also doesn't hurt that Best Buy's web store is showing a February 1 launch date for the game.
The last official word we heard from Blizzard ("early 2012") was in September 2011, after the game was delayed beyond its original 2011 launch window. When we checked back up with the company during BlizzCon back in October, we were told nothing more solid was ready to be announced in terms of a launch date.
Update: UK retailer Gameplay is showing a February 3, 2012 release date for the game, adding more fuel to the fire. Thanks to Twitter user @JKeverne for the tip!
Update 2: This piece originally credited the photo to a Canadian Twitter user, which is accurate as to its origin with us, but not accurate to the credit of the photographer. Rochester, Minnesota Chatty Pics user "sasquatchxing" tells us that he took the photo (as well as a second) and uploaded them to image service Chatty Pics before taking to the Shacknews forums.
Update 3: It gets more interesting! When we called the Rochester, Minnesota Best Buy this morning, a manager explained that the sign has been taken down as a directive from the store's "GM" (general manager), not because the manufacturer had asked but because the manufacturer has been "not very firm" in picking a launch date. As many had guessed (per the misspelling of "February," among other things), the signage was made in-house and not sent by Blizzard. If you happen to spot any similar signage in your local big box retailer, don't hesitate to contact us!
Update 4: Blizzard community manager Micah "Bashiok" Whipple has responded on Twitter (though not to us), where he said both "The word is lol" and "We can't really keep every individual retail shop from making up a date," as well as "Retailers will not know a date until it's officially announced through a press release," in response to questions from followers. We're still waiting on official response from Blizzard.

Senior Josue Sanchez only lost one set in his singles' win Friday
HOMEWOOD, Ill. — After a four-month layoff from the last time the No. 13-ranked ONU men's tennis team saw action, the Tigers were back at it in their first match of the spring season. Olivet hosted Lindenwood University-Belleville (Ill.) at the Homewood-Flossmoor Racquet and Fitness Club on Friday, February 15. The Tigers showed no rust as they defeated Lindenwood-Belleville 9-0.
The Tigers (2-0) were dominant in singles' play, winning 6-0 in five separate sets. All six Tigers who competed won matches: senior (#9 ITA) Julian Kurz (Stuttgart, Germany) won (6-2, 7-5); senior (#42 ITA) Diego Gonsalvez (San Luis Potosi, Mexico) won (6-3, 6-0); Camilo Giraldo (Medellin, Colombia) won (6-3, 6-0); Peter Jensen (Yuba City, Calif.) won (6-0, 6-4); Josue Sanchez (Morelia, Mexico ) won (6-1, 6-0); and Seth Perry (Jefferson, Ohio) won (6-4, 6-0).
In doubles play, the number four ranked ITA team in the nation, Kurz and Gonsalez, won 8-1; Giraldo and Jensen won 8-5; and Sanchez and sophomore Addison Newell (Williamsport, Ind.) won 8-3.
The Tigers will be in action again on Monday, February 18, as they travel to DePauw University (Ind.) for a 3:30 p.m. match.

Few people have the knowledge of racing at Bristol Motor Speedway as Darrell Waltrip.
The three-time NASCAR champion holds the all-time record with 12 Sprint Cup wins at the "World's Fastest Half-Mile." Waltrip believes NASCAR's new rules will make Friday's knockout qualifying-session a must-see event.
"It will look a lot like a green-white-checkered I think," said Waltrip, now a FOX television analyst. "It will be chaos with 42 cars on the track at one time trying to get a fast lap. The guys who can find an opening and get a clean run, they're going to have a good time.
"There are going to be some guys that have fast cars that aren't going to be able to show it. There won't be that much open track to run a fast lap. I don't think you will be able to be a nice guy at Bristol."
Waltrip fell short of saying any monkey business will be involved like a car pulling on the track at a particular time to just mess up someone else's lap. However, he believes that scenario could happen unintentionally, more as the result of every man being out for himself.
"It could be a situation where guys won't give neccessarily give someone a clear run," he said. "Hopefully, they will get in a flow where you can get a fast lap in. I don't know what to expect at Bristol, but I think we'll see people running over each other to try to get a fast lap."
When it comes to Sunday's Food City 500 and even Saturday's Drive to Stop Diabetes 300 for the Nationwide Series, Waltrip expects the usual list of characters to be the favorites. He believes drivers like Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski and Matt Kenseth who have won multiple races on the high banks are those you have to look at first.
Waltrip, now 67, talks from experience.
He first made his reputation as the driver to beat at a similarly-banked short track in Nashville. He also won races on the other high-banked speedways in Salem and Winchester, Indiana before enjoying such great success at Bristol.
"The first time I came to Bristol, I wasn't intimidated that it was a high-banked, half-mile race track," he said. "That was my background. The thing that makes Bristol intimidating is how quick it is. It's plenty fast, but it's how quick things happen. If the car twitches at other places, you might grab it, catch it and keep going. If it twitches at Bristol, it's in the fence. The speed, the banking and the quickness of the track, some guys can't get comfortable with that."
Besides the physical challenges, Waltrip said a lot of drivers can't handle the mental aspect of racing 500 laps in constant traffic and on the edge of control.
He added, however, it does help if a driver has early success at the place.
"If you look at a lot of drivers, if they do really well at a track when they're a rookie, it turns out to be one of their best tracks," he said. "Bristol was that way and Charlotte was that way for me. A number of tracks I ran well at over my career, I ran well the first time I ever went there. It's like Kevin Harvick at Phoenix. He's got a comfort zone there and a knack for getting around there.
"Attitude has so much to do with getting around Bristol. A lot of guys go to Bristol saying, 'I hate this place. It's too little and too fast.' I embraced it from the first time I went there."
In his 14th season as a NASCAR analyst, Waltrip is at times controversial, although not nearly to the degree he was as a driver who was nicknamed "Jaws" by rival Cale Yarborough for his gift of gab. These days, he hears the fans' accusations that he's cheering for one guy over another. Waltrip won't dispute he can be overly exhuberant at times, but adds it's not that he picks favorites.
"I'm a race car driver and a race fan, and I try to share with the people watching like I'm one of them as a race fan," he said. "People criticize me for being partial to one guy or another. I'm really not. I just like to see the guys who put on a show and win. That could be Dale Jr., Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards or Kyle Busch. I don't care. I'm a fan of the guy putting on that show that day."comments powered by Disqus

Claire Canon: Chesterfield Teen Charged in Stun-Gun Attack on Ex-Boyfriend
You do not want to mess with Claire Canon -- just ask her ex-boyfriend.
Image via Claire Canon: She may look sweet, but you do not want to piss this girl off.
On December 30, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports, the poor bloke opened the front door of his home in St. Louis County. Canon stepped in and asked him for a hug. But when he complied, police say she fired a stun gun at his chest.
Then, when he fell to the floor, three dudes wearing ski masks rushed in and began beating the crap out of him. When he managed to flee, they continued the attack outside the house.
The victim was able to identify at least one of the guys, 22-year-old Bret Lombardo, after he recognized his voice, the P-D reports. (Lombardo is the boyfriend of Canon's sister.) He's been charged with first-degree burglary and third-degree assault; Canon has been charged with first-degree burglary, third-degree assault and third-degree domestic assault.
We have a ton of questions about this case, but we'll try to keep it to just a few. Namely, did Canon somehow think she was gonna get away with this?
And, this: Did her boyfriend not understand prior to this that she's obviously utterly and completely crazy?

Enhanced OST (No Mod Required)Oct 19, 2014 Music 4 comments
This is a selection of tracks from the Enhanced OST, but modified to work with vanilla Zero Hour (and most other mods). Just copy the "Audio" folder (make...
With the variety of advanced techniques and efforts, your battlefield is now implemented with modern-like bloom & SSAO effects, C&C3; lightrays style and depth of field and also ambient reflective waters. The environmental objects have been added and updated so to be said, grass, bushes, trees, rocks, water waves and wild animals. The mod is also featured with some higher resolution textures such as terrains, rocks, decal effects, etc.
In contrast of the vanilla game, this mod allows you to have a chance of avoiding bullets, missiles and one-shot garrison kills. Furthermore, you can block your nemesis's path by destroying their or your own vehicles or aircraft, creating a destructible hulks and debris just as in THQ's Company of Heroes or you could destroy the bridges which are the paths of the enemy or set trees on fire as your enemy burn to oblivious death. Tanks are now implanted with self-defense machine guns, making them more suitable for front line engagements, artilleries are now more deadly and fearsome from afar while infantries are used in a role of strike force.
Just like a typical mod for this game, this mod adds a variety of new things to each faction. Such, the famous Abram Tanks for the main NATO force, the furious wind of the east empire, Storms and Typhoons for the PLA forces and the infamous Katyusha for the GLA. But, that's not the main concept of this mod. This mod is to bring you a "enhanced" feeling of the game, not adding tons of unit to it. Each addition has a purpose and reason. Also, an unplayable faction has been altered to be playable, the "Boss" general aka Leang of the PLA forces.
This mod will be featured with a brand new campaign based on a fictional story after the event of Zero Hour and also new challenge modes for those who hungered for more eradication and escalation which will all be remake from the original ones. Not only campaigns and challenges, this mod will also have new maps and mini-game maps such Stonewall, Blitzkrieg, Assassination, etc. (Noted that this is only a future plan and isn't yet in a procedure of production.)

Brandon Bolden is well known for his intensity on the practice field. The Ole Miss senior running back hopes to use that energy to help the Rebels rebound from last year's disappointing 4-8 finish.
- Filed Under
In the hot summer months, an unlikely leader has emerged for the Ole Miss football team.
"I'd love to say it's one of our three quarterbacks," said Rebels offensive coordinator David Lee, "but that hasn't happened yet."
While the quarterback debate will likely last through August two-a-days and perhaps right up until the Sept. 3 opener against BYU, Lee no longer worries about who may or may not be his best offensive weapon or his on-the-field leader. ...

These bags are approximately three and five eights inches tall from base to bottom of ears with two rows of stitching. We've found that the newer stock styles roll around on top of single stitch bags for lack of contact and have a tendency to wiggle between the ears in three stitch bags. The two rows of stitching between the ears on these bags offer the shooter the best combination of contact and stability. Note: Sand is required to fill these bags.

Best Place to Pick Up Fortysomethings St. Louis 2004 - Brio Tuscan Grille
1601 S. Lindbergh Blvd.
Frontenac, MO 63131
Got MILF? Get some weeknights at the bar at Brio, a veritable buffet of well-preserved west-county women and the polo-shirted men who flirt on them like something out of a Bonobos Gone Wild video. It's probably no coincidence that this local outlet of the upscale Tuscan restaurant chain is located beside Plaza Frontenac. The foxy ladies who sip frilly-tinis (Lemontini, Razzberritini, Sour Appletini) sport the sort of sassy sportswear seen on Neiman Marcus mannequins, with kicky highlights courtesy of The Salon at Saks. The men, meanwhile, seem content to canoodle in less-stylish blazer-and-T-shirt combos (or worse, short-sleeve dress shirts), laughing at the babes' jokes and plying them with Atkins-friendly antipasti platters. If 40 is the new 30, then Brio is the new J. Buck's: a pick-up paradise for the aging-preppy set.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Authorities have identified the victim gunned down at the entrance of a Las Vegas Wal-Mart by a man and woman who had moments before fatally shot two officers at a nearby eatery.
The Clark County coroner's office says 31-year-old Joseph Wilcox of Las Vegas died Sunday.
Officers Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo were killed earlier at CiCi's Pizza.
Friend Tracy Smith described Beck as "invincible," but also "very accepting and loving of people."
The organization 10,000 Kids Inc. is sponsoring a candlelight vigil for the two fallen officers at 6 p.m. Monday in Las Vegas.

Poser: My Life in Twenty-three Yoga Posesby Claire Dederer
Staff Pick
Poser is an intelligent and funny memoir-slash-exploration-of-yoga. It sounds lighthearted, and it can be, but Dederer illuminates hard questions with honesty and grace, and transformed the way I look at my on-again, off-again yoga practice. Poser is inspiring in the best possible way.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The studio was decorated in the style of Don't Be Afraid, We're Not a Cult. All was white and blond and clean, as though the room had been designed for surgery, or Swedish people. The only spot of color came from the Tibetan prayer flags strung over the doorway into the studio. In flagrant defiance of my longtime policy of never entering a structure adorned with Tibetan prayer flags, I removed my shoes, paid my ten bucks, and walked in...
Ten years ago, Claire Dederer put her back out while breastfeeding her baby daughter. Told to try yoga by everyone from the woman behind the counter at the co-op to the homeless guy on the corner, she signed up for her first class. She fell madly in love.
Over the next decade, she would tackle triangle, wheel, and the dreaded crow, becoming fast friends with some poses and developing long-standing feuds with others. At the same time, she found herself confronting the forces that shaped her generation. Daughters of women who ran away to find themselves and made a few messes along the way, Dederer and her peers grew up determined to be good, good, good — even if this meant feeling hemmed in by the smugness of their organic-buying, attachment-parenting, anxiously conscientious little world. Yoga seemed to fit right into this virtuous program, but to her surprise, Dederer found that the deeper she went into the poses, the more they tested her most basic ideas of what makes a good mother, daughter, friend, wife — and the more they made her want something a little less tidy, a little more improvisational. Less goodness, more joy.
Poser is unlike any other book about yoga you will read — because it is actually a book about life. Witty and heartfelt, sharp and irreverent, Poser is for anyone who has ever tried to stand on their head while keeping both feet on the ground.
"'I have never been good at sports; I always feel like a spectator even in the middle of the game,' writes freelance writer Dederer about her initial reluctance to attend a yoga class. But despite her misgivings and her 'defiance of my longtime policy of never entering a structure adorned with Tibetan prayer flags,' Dederer makes it through that first class to develop a strong commitment to yoga in addition to — and sometimes despite — raising two children, coping with a husband struggling with depression, finding time to write, along with a demanding extended family and a move from her native Seattle to Colorado. With lighthearted humor and a touch of irony, Dederer introduces her readers to the culture of motherhood in north Seattle during the late 1990s, a place populated by clog-wearing attachment-parenting women whom Dederer simultaneously disdained and embraced. Each chapter is titled after a different yoga pose as Dederer recounts the challenging births of her children and reflects upon her own emotionally difficult childhood and adolescence during the 1970s. Dederer's memoir, like a challenging yoga class, flows smoothly and shows by example that a full life is one that is constantly in motion. (Jan.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
"Dederer contributes nuggets of yoga trivia paired with a droll, self-effacing delivery that's both down-to-earth and pleasingly introspective. Delicious fun with a friendly nudge for readers on the fence about yoga." Kirkus Reviews
"Dederer's humor is tangy and precision-aimed; her targets are the sine qua non of memoirs: mothers and marriage. A book reviewer and social critic...Dederer writes superbly and offers sharp insights into family dynamics as well as hatha yoga's impact on American life." Booklist
"Poser is a powerful, honest, ruefully funny memoir about one woman's open-hearted reckoning with her demons." New York Times
"It's got the gravitational pull of a good novel and an unusually genuine voice that envelops the reader swiftly.... Dederer sparkles when introspection is ruthless — the result reads true and funny." Seattle Times
"From the bendier-than-thou instructors to the more-locavore-than-thou preschool parents, Dederer captures everyone in her world with humanity and gentle wit. So many readers will relate to her story" Boston Globe
After throwing her back out, Dederer was told to try yoga. Over the next decade, she would become fast friends with some poses and develop long-standing feuds with others. At the same time, she found herself confronting the forces that shaped her generation.
About the Author
Claire Dederer's essays, criticism, and reporting have appeared in Vogue, the New York Times, Slate, Salon, Yoga Journal, Real Simple, the Nation and in newspapers around the country. She has taught writing at the University of Washington. A fourth-generation Seattle native, she lives with her family on Bainbridge Island in Puget Sound.

CCTV Attacks Baidu, Again
- Posted by bbishop
- on August 16th, 2011
Last night CCTV aired a 26 minute report critical of Baidu ($BIDU), its sales practices and its Phoenix Nest system for advertisers. Using undercover reporters posing as advertisers, CCTV showed Baidu employees in Hebei and Beijing helping companies with admittedly fake business licenses get approval to run ads. It was smart of CCTV to use more than one location, as that makes it much harder for Baidu to dismiss the problems as the work of "rogue" employees.
One firm with a fake license that Baidu was happy to help was a health supplement company, which is surprising given that a 2008 CCTV expose crushed Baidu stock and led the company to promise in a press release that:
"Baidu removed paid search listings of certain customers, particularly medical and pharmaceutical customers without licenses on file with Baidu. Baidu will allow these customers to resume access to Baidu's P4P paid search platform once their relevant licenses are provided to and reviewed by Baidu."
The report asserts that the Phoenix Nest advertising system is not nearly as transparent as Baidu claims and that the opacity may lead advertisers to overpay on a cost-per-click basis.
CCTV of course has an agenda, and there are several viable conspiracy theories behind this report. The 2008 expose of Baidu was basically a shakedown of the company. After Baidu bought 100m or so RMB in advertising around CCTV's 2009 Spring Gala, CCTV left the firm alone. It is a bit early to be buying ads for the 2012 Spring Gala, but perhaps CCTV has a Q4 budget hole to fill.
An established competitor such as Tencent, Alibaba or Sohu ($SOHU) may have commissioned this report, as could one of the two startup, state-backed search engines (Jike and Panguso), neither of which have much hope of competing against Baidu without using "regulatory innovation".
Since Google's 2010 retreat, Baidu has become an effective monopoly in Internet search. It is unlikely the government is pleased with Baidu's market power and the CCTV report may be a sign that Baidu should expect increased scrutiny and regulation.
The broadcast concludes with the narrator saying that Baidu has proven it can not be trusted to regulate itself and therefore given the importance of the Internet and search advertising the government needs to enact new laws and regulations to solve the issues raised in the report.
Regardless of the motivations behind the CCTV report, I think Baidu investors should be concerned for at least three reasons:
1. Baidu may be again forced to suspend medical related advertising, which could hurt Q3 results;
2. Advertisers who see this report may learn that they have been overpaying for ads on Baidu and will cut their cost-per-click rates, which could hurt Baidu's revenue growth and margins;
3. New laws and regulations may have a negative impact on Baidu's revenue and future growth.
The CCTV report is embedded below. It is streaming from China so may be a bit slow, and appears to be coded to start automatically.
[UPDATE: CCTV has created a minisite dedicated to "building trust on the Internet", with most of the items so far attacking Baidu. Investors in Chinese Internet stocks should be wondering if Baidu is the only target of this CCTV campaign, or if other firms are next..END UPDATE]

For Immediate Release
Contact: Deborah email@example.com
Next Session of Free English Language Classes Begins January 12
Lakewood, N.J., Dec. 10, 2008—Ask Amanda Brown to help out, and you're probably going to get more than you bargained for. After she was asked to help Spanish-speaking adults to review English for their citizenship classes, she volunteered to help with the English as a Second Language (ESL) classes that are held for community members on the Georgian Court campus. Ms. Brown speaks English and can speak, read, and write Spanish.
It's not like Ms. Brown, a 19-year-old junior majoring in criminal justice and psychology, is lacking enough things to do, however. President of the Class of 2010 and an active member of the campus group Women in Leadership Development, Ms. Brown has traveled abroad and been instrumental in organizing campus marches to bring attention to the plight of the missing women of Juarez, Mexico. However, she feels a calling to help community members prepare to become citizens.
"I think it is crucial that, as a community, we help our newest immigrants to learn English," she says. "They have so much to offer, but we miss out on a lot of what they have to say if we are unable to communicate because of a language barrier. We often expect immigrants to learn our language, and I believe if we're going to make that a requirement, as a nation we need to provide adequate means and opportunities for individuals to learn the language. That means that individuals must be willing to set aside time and energy to help others learn. They're more than willing to learn, but the system has to work both ways."
Ms. Brown volunteers on a regular basis. In addition to believing in the cause—she is a strong proponent of the contributions that naturalized citizens can make to the United States—she also believes this will help her long-term goals of researching the link between crime and psychology internationally.
Classes meet four times per week in Hamilton Hall on the Lakewood campus of Georgian Court University. The next ESL session at GCU begins January 12, 2009. These classes are free and sponsored by the Ocean County Education Consortium. For more information, please contact ESL instructor Sister Peggy Nulty at email@example.com.
Founded in 1908 and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, Georgian Court University is a comprehensive university with a strong liberal arts core and a special concern for women. A forward-thinking university that supports diversity and academic excellence, Georgian Court serves over 3,000 students of all faiths and backgrounds in a residential Women's College and a coeducational University College with undergraduate and graduate programs. Georgian Court's main campus is located at 900 Lakewood Avenue, Lakewood, N.J., on the picturesque former George Jay Gould estate, now named a National Historic Landmark. Georgian Court also offers classes at its site at 90 Woodbridge Center Drive in Woodbridge, at Coastal Communiversity in Wall, and at Cumberland County College in Vineland.

In addition to being a place of exceptional healthcare, I have been awed by the amount of support the Hospital enjoys from caring people such as you.

The two German giants meet at Wembley Stadium with Dortmund looking to complete a remarkable campaign but going into the match as underdogs.
"We are a club, not a company," Klopp told the Guardian, "but it depends on which kind of story the neutral fan wants to hear. If he respects the story of Bayern, and how much they have won since the 1970s, he can support them.
"But if he wants the new story, the special story, it must be Dortmund. I think, in this moment in the football world, you have to be on our side."
