Getting up at 5.30am is never easy, I didn't get up until just before 6 but Bobbie was up on time to straighten her hair and get ready. Our pre arranged taxi was waiting at the corner at 6.30 to take us to the train station in Poroy, a 30 minute drive to the next town, to be at the station half an hour before our departure time of 7.45am. On the way in the taxi we got to see some of the outer Cusco areas up the hill and in the next town. There are lots of mud brick run down houses with stray dogs everywhere, you see lots of dogs getting around Cusco but up in these areas it's twice as bad. We saw dogs in the skip bins and around the rubbish areas, some dogs having sex, dogs everywhere! These outer areas are where the poorer people live. We also drove through a market area that's just on the side of the road, all the local farmers bring their produce down early in the morning and people come from everywhere to buy up. Once we arrived at Poroy station our taxi driver dropped us off and told us he would be back to pick us up when we return which was arranged by the nice girl from the hostel
Our train carriage
. We arrived half an hour before the scheduled departing time as written on the train tickets, we got a coffee and some banana bread and croissant to eat and waited for the boarding. About 10 mins before the departing time they opened the doors to the area with the train and begun boarding. You show you ticket and passport at the appropriate carriage and find your seat, Bobbie and I had 2 seats together with a good view out the window, a few seats didn't have a window which pissed a few people off, you could see outside wherever you sat, there were windows on the roof as well but some seats had an obstructed view from the panels holding all the windows together. The train ride was 3 hours long, the train goes fairly slow as we only cover 94km in 3 hours. It's not a bad thing though because you get a really great view of the amazing scenery Peru has to offer. You wind through a few small farming towns where the locals wave to the train, lots of picturesque mountains and the train follows a river most of the way to the sacred valley and the last town where the train stops Aguas Calientes. On board the train we were served snacks and drinks about halfway through. Although it took a long time to get there the scenery you get to watch go by makes the long trip worth it, we took a few photos and enjoyed the ride. Once we arrived at Aguas Calientes we wasted no time in finding the bus station and getting on board one of the buses that runs up and down the mountain every 5 minutes everyday. The tickets were pretty cheap, the trip lasts 20 minutes up a windy mountain road. Making our way up the mountain in the mini bus at time was pretty freaky, it's only a one way road and with other buses coming down going around blind hairpin corners at times you come pretty close to running into another bus or even off the mountain. A couple of times we had to stop and reverse to let other buses through, they do this everyday all day so I'm sure they know what they are doing. Once we got to the top of the mountain at the Machu Picchu gates we found ourselves a guide to show us around, he was an older man that seemed pretty nice and his English was ok, we got a private tour for 150soles, his name was Braulio
Us on the train
. We made our way through the gate with our tickets and passport and Braulio met us on the other side. First he took us to a lookout point just near the front entrance so we could see the amazing site and he could also take our photo for us. It looked spectacular, we had waited and traveled a long way to be hear and the expectations were high and the ancient Inca city didn't disappoint. After having a few photos Braulio begun his tour by siting up down up in the agricultural area of the site and gave us a run down on the history and how the place was discovered. He told us he speaks Inca as his first language so he was extremely knowledgable about everything from the surrounding mountains to the insides and out of the ancient city. Over the next 2 hours Braulio took us right through the city giving us in depth information on everything Machu Picchu, his tour was terrific and very informative, we were both very glad we got a proper tour for this place, being one of the 7 wonders of the world it's worth to know the real story behind it, just like we did at Chichen Itza in Mexico another one of the 7 wonders. Once he finished his tour it started to rain for a while, we quickly got a photo with him and put on our rain coats and tried to look for shelter. It didn't rain too hard, it drizzled on and off for the next hour or so but it didn't ruin the day in anyway. For the rest of the afternoon up until we had to head back down the mountain at 3.30 to get the 4.45 train we explored the site by ourselves, trying to get to every section so we could see it all
Windows in the roof
. There seemed to be thousands of other people there, at certain points it got crowded in areas, some people would walk way to slow but it's no different to any other popular tourist destination we've been too so you come to expect it. We took a few walks out to other varies parts surrounding the main site. We walked up a shitload of stairs, took a ton of photos and had an amazing day. Being Bobbies birthday she really enjoyed it, I even had a surprise to make it even more special. By about 3pm, 4 hours after we started, we had seen pretty much everything, we thought we would make our way back down the mountain on the bus early so we know for sure we won't miss the train. Once we arrived back in Aguas Calientes we walked around the markets for a while checking out all the hand made Peruvian products, lots of alpaca wool nits like gloves and beanies, wooden instruments, toys, jewelry, silver, tapestry and trinkets. Soon enough it was time to head back into the train station and wait for the boarding, the half an hour wait seemed to go on forever as we were starting to get tired from being up early and having a big day. We finally boarded the train and unfortunately we did not have seats together, I was a bit pissed off at first because we wanted to look at our photos and read the book Bobbie had purchased, but I thought I might sleep or write blogs on the 3 hours back so it didn't matter, I was going to ask the guy who sat next to Bobbie to swap seats but I didn't want to be a nuisance making people swap seats. I sat on the window next to an American lady who was really chatty, at first I wasn't feeling talkative but after a while I actually enjoyed chatting with her, we ended up chatting like 2 old ladies all the way back, she had been hiking with her daughter and another friend around Machu Picchu for 5 days and was very interested in our trip. Bobbie sat next to a French Canadian dude who she thought looked like Bradley Cooper so she was ok with not sitting next to me either
Farm towns on the way
. It was dark most of the way back so we couldn't see the scenery anymore and the train had to stop for half an hour, I'm not sure why but it made us late and the ride seemed to go on forever. Once we made it back the taxi driver was waiting for us amongst the other hundreds of transport vehicles. We gave the French Canadian a lift back into the city with us as he had just finished the Inca trail and didn't arrange a taxi. We got the driver to drop us in the main plaza as we were both starving and exhausted and wanted something quick. Bobbie ended up choosing KFC which turned out to be a really bad decision as it was terrible, nothing like what we had in Lima which was why Bobbie made the choice. After our shit dinner we struggled back up the hill to our hostel. We made it back at about 10pm, a 17 hour long day. I briefly skyped with my dad and then we went to bed as we were very tired.

Quick hits after a busy day
I don't know about you, but between the busiest trade deadline Baseball has had in years and two nail biters between the Rays and Yanks, I'm pretty wiped out. Here are some quick links with the best stuff I've read over the past few days.
–Greg Fertel over at Pending Pinstripes has an organizational leader board chart that I just love. Quick, handy way to see who's really performed this year for the Yankee farm system.
–A-Rod tells everyone to get comfortable, this is going to take a while. No kidding, Alex.
(UPDATE: Alex out of today's lineup)
-Mike Francesa's gonna be pretty bummed out over this one. His future Yankee CF and favorite fair haired boy Nate McLouth has been sent down to the Braves AAA Gwinnet club. What a fall from grace for a guy who hit 26 dingers playing CF and was an All Star a few years back.
-The Rangers really cleaned up acquiring Cliff Lee, Bengie Molina, Jorge Cantu, and Cristian Guzman. Maybe they should go bankrupt more often. The Yanks may have the best team in Baseball, but you can easily draw up scenarios where either the Rangers or Rays beat them in a short series.
–Quote of the week from old pal Johnny Damon:
- "I tried doing everything I could to get ready for this game," Damon said after Detroit's 6-5 win. "I know we're very shorthanded. I wanted to come out and play in front of the Fenway crowd without wearing that Yankee uniform. But that looks like it's going to have to wait.
–David Golebiewski of Fangraphs breaks down the Kerry Wood deal. Much like David Robertson, he got off to a slow start this year and has been much better of late. The injuries this year (strained Latissimus muscle in his back/blister on his right index finger) were nothing arm related. Maybe most importantly the stuff is still there. Pitching for a contract after a disastrous stint in Cleveland, I'm keeping an open mind on him.
-Not sure if this is NSFW or not.
–Mike Silva over @ NYBD has some quick facts on Lance Berkman. Don't expect the guy from a few years ago who was one of the best sluggers in Baseball.
- Berkman came into this season with a lifetime .299 batting average. He's hitting .245 this season and is down to .296 lifetime.
- Berkman has had 20+ homers for the last 10 seasons; he has 13 this year.
- His 19.6% strikeout percentage is the highest since he became a full-time major leaguer.
- From the left side of the plate, Berkman is hitting .188. Even Curtis Granderson is hitting .214 against lefties.
- Away from Minute Maid Park this season, Berkman is hitting .194
- Since the break, Berkman is hitting .179/1/6.
- Berkman is hitting .272 with runners in scoring position; .229 RISP/w 2 outs.
- Berkman has grounded in 12 double plays in 80 opportunities (15%).
- Berkman will have much more protection in the Yankee lineup: Astros hitting .240 with 69 homers. Yankees hitting .273 with 120 homers.

Exactly. There's a guy I had no idea was pitching as well as he has. And Nova's leading in Wins/IP but none of the rate stats illustrates why people say his ceiling is fairly low. Love that chart. Steve S.(Quote)
Moshe Mandel says:
Berkman was an older player coming off a knee injury, and most of he splits Mike gives are small samples. He projects to have a .383 wOBA for rest of year, which is quite good. Moshe Mandel(Quote)

Yeah, I don't love all of those stats. But at his age, even trends like that have to concern you. Again, this was one of the top hitters in the game a few years ago, and fans shouldn't expect him to be that guy. Steve S.(Quote)
Moshe Mandel says:
Oh, definitely. Anyone expecting an MVP caliber player will be disappointed. Moshe Mandel(Quote)
Steve S. says:
I thought Texas was by far the biggest winner, filling multiple needs with quality players. If the season ended today, the Yankees would play either them or the Rays in the ALCS. That should scare Yankee fans, facing that lineup, that bullpen, and Cliff Lee twice in a short series. Ditto for the Rays starting pitching, bullpen and defense. Steve S.(Quote)
misterd Reply:
August 1st, 2010 at 2:17 pm
I agree. But I don't think any team is salivating over the chance to play the Yankees either. The Yanks are clear favorites to win it all IMO, but not by a large margin. The Rays and Rangers are both capable of knocking us off.
Thankfully, if the season ended today, the Rays and Rangers would play each other, and the Yanks would whoever is leading in the AL Central. I'll take the Sox, Twins and Tigers any day over the Rays and Rangers. misterd(Quote)
misterd says:
Just for perspective, there are eight categories on the chart. Noesi appears 7 times, Hall 6 times, Stoneburner 5, Nova and Phelps 2 each, Z-Mac only once. misterd(Quote)

Ever since the mini-biography on Pastor Melissa Scott, I've been getting emails addressed to her from people too stupid to realize the contact form on this site does not go to her inbox.
Now, I usually try to avoid name-calling. But it's hard for me to understand how someone can come to a site that says "Unreasonable Faith" that has an article about Pastor Melissa's risque history, and then use a contact form thinking they are emailing Melissa.
These people must really be something.
Here is a sampling of the emails I've received for Melissa (each paragraph is a separate email):
Melissa, i found you two weeks ago. I love the way you talk. I love your greek. If its raining,i can see your face. In my mind,and see rainbows. In the rain. Thats just a start of how wonderful YOU are. I watch every mondaynight.. Tammi
melissa, havent heard from you yet. But your picture went up on my model room wall today. I build model cars. So when i goof. instead of getting mad at myself i look up at you .And know you and god are with me. Oh and my friend i see god everday. I just look in the mirror. He is my father. Your friend tammi
Pastor melissa, maybe your not answering my e.ms because i didnt write pastor. If so,i,am sorry for that. I think your great. I watch you every mondaynight. I dont believe any bad crap they say about you on the internet. I would love to learn more of your greek. i prey soon or later you will return a e.m. well hope to hear from you soon. your friend, tammi…..
pastor melissa, yes i,am saying hello. How was your day?. I prayed to god today, that when i ckecked my e.ms. There would be one from you. (not yet) thats ok. Good news been telling all my friends about you,and to tune in to your sermon. My friends for the most part listen to me. Well will try again monday. Before your show. Your friend,tammi.
dear faith tell melissa scott that i love her very much i want to see her in heaven love jc
dear melissa, i believe thomas37 says "you must strip your self of earthly garments to see God!" your purpose, really great- ts in the religious field. your purpose of getting 3000 new members on sunday is huge but achievable. i listen on sw every nite. you get my spirits up!
dear melissa i cant wait to get to heaven.the first thing im gonna do when i get to heaven is go in my mansion and take off all my clothes and enjoy a smoke by myself then ill go and meet you by the river of life and give you a kiss all my love joe
Yes, I'm afraid these people are fracking nutjobs.
I would, however, like to see William Shatner read Tammi's first email to beat poetry (like he did with Sarah Palin's speech) — it might make a little more sense:
I love… the way you talk.
I love… your greek.
If it's raining,
I can see your face.
In my mind,
and see rainbows.
In the rain.
Perhaps Tammi should consider poetry writing?

The Phenom Goggle uses Smith's Vaporator lens to dish out top-notch optical quality and make fogging a thing of the past. Adjustable top vents let you tailor the air flow to exactly where you want it. Smith's QuickFit strap adjustment helps you get dialed in seconds, so you spend more time ripping and less time messing with gear in the parking lot. These fully featured goggles also include an Articulated Outrigger Positioning System for a precise fit with or without a helmet.

Share your thoughts
Not a fan
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Changing lenses is a bitch. If you change lenses frequently, I would look at different goggles. If you dont get the lense in perfectly, it fogs. Badly.
Smith Phenom Goggles
Ignitor Mirror goggles! A little bit of underkill eye protection-wise on a super sunny day, but love this style!
Loooove Smith goggles!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I am a woman with a big head and a prominent beak yet somehow, a medium-sized face. Therefore, I have a pretty wicked time finding perfect goggles. Smith's fit all my needs! Plenty big enough to fit over my helmet, comfy on my nose and a perfect fit on my face. Good range of view and great styles. They fog up once in awhile when I've got a facemask tucked up into them on super cold days, but I think that's pretty unavoidable with ANY goggles. Up on Hood, we get a lot of mixed-bag days where it will be cloudy, snowing, flat light, then peeks of sunshine...for those days the ignitor mirror lenses are great. For low light/snowy days, red sensor is awesome. Although these are technically a dudes' goggle, I'd totally recommend them for ladies who find women's goggles just a teeny bit too small!
Good goggles
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Got these goggles for a snow trip to Queenstown, NZ and they came through with flying colours. No fogging when it warmed up in the afternoon and they fit like a dream.
This is not described as a women's goggle...
This is not described as a women's goggle and I see several reviews from men but the header after clicking through to it reads, Snowboard >Goggles & Accessories >Women's Goggles. Can you please tell me if it is a small frame model?
Wayne Christoffersen, Gearhead
Hey Stefan,
Smith has these listed in the men's category and sized for medium faces. Not sure how took it onto themselves to reclassify these goggles but I will try to get to the bottom of this post-hast.
Great googles
- Gender:Male
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Solid googles at a good price, fit my helmet and face well, I love the RC36 lens for all purpose, this is my 3rd pair of googles by Smith with the RC36 lens.
Second pair and loving them!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
My husband purchased these for me to replace stolen snowboard equipment. Previously I had the Phenom Blue Cape Fear with ignitor mirror lens goggles and I am now reviewing the Irie Rocker with ignitor mirror lens goggles. I loved my older Phenoms and couldn't wait to try these out. I took these out on a snowy night boarding adventure and they worked great! There were no issues going from day to night and I've found the ignitor mirror lens works a little better than the sensor mirror lens while night boarding. I had a few faceshots and there were no issues with build up on the lens or clogging due to snow sitting on the foam (no ventilation issues/my vents were closed).
These were a bit tight while trying to get them on the Boeri helmet in medium that I was given to use until I can replace my stolen helmet. They were tight but they didn't leave lines on my face and will probably stretch out a bit after more use.
Eric Watford, Gearhead
Basic goggle that works
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Very basic goggle that rocks! Nothing fancy no bells and whistles just a goggle that works. I have had these for 2 years now and changed out the lens this season and will continue to do so year after year. The ignitor mirror lens is where it's at! Perfect middle of the road lens that works great on a storm day and will protect your eyes on a bluebird day.
SUNPDX, Employee
Crispy white
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Got these goggles in the white w/ blue lens and they are very cool. Great price point, comfortable to wear, and the blue lenses took some getting used to, but they work out awesome.
not bad
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
nice snug fit for the $; you may want lighter lens for bad light
Good goggles for the price.
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
This is probably one of the best intermediate goggles Smith makes. They aren't spectacular, but they get the job done effectively. The only qualm I have with these is that the plastic buckles are pretty weak. I broke one of the snaps when I was trying to adjust the strap. Fortunately they still work. I'd recommend these to anyone who's been riding for a while and needs a step up in their visibility but doesn't want to spend a fortune.
not a bad choice
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
But I definitely prefer my IOX goggles from smith. Better visibility and multiple lenses. Still not a bad goggle for the price though.
Where can I find clear lense for Smith...
Where can I find clear lense for Smith Phenom goggles?
From Smith optics directly, they're hard to find usually. if you're using them for night riding, the yellow works great!
Does the Phenom googles include a single...
Does the Phenom googles include a single or a double lens?
There is a single lens on the Phenom model. No extra lenses included. Hope that helps.
why do these goggles say they are 54.98,...
why do these goggles say they are 54.98, but in my cart they are 109.95?
Jared Downs, Gearhead
Howdy Melissa,
So the difference in price is that a few of the color / lens options are in the outlet at the cheaper price. The remaining now outlet items are at full price
Will Stance lenses fit in this goggle...
Will Stance lenses fit in this goggle frame?
Laurel Nelson, Gearhead
Unfortunately the Stance lenses will not fit in this frame. The Phenom has a spherical lens whereas the Stance is a cylindrical lens. This and the fact that the frame shape is slightly different will cause issues with fit for sure.
Does anyone have any experience fitting...
Does anyone have any experience fitting these goggles with the Giro Seam helmet?
I have these goggles, but not a Giro helmet (mine is a Bern). My experience with Smith goggles has been that they fit helmets better than any other brand on the market. I would be shocked if they didn't fit your helmet well.
i use this with a giro seam medium. It works for me; but one thing to note are the straps are almost all the way expanded.
All helmet/goggle combos though depend on how you wear your helmet so what works for my face and head might not work for your head.
Have the Giro Seam helmet in medium and the phenom goggles. Fits perfectly. Get a "helmet helper" to expand the band. Otherwise they're too tight. Oh yeah, the ignitor lens is a great all around lens for white out and bluebird days. Good luck finding them, I had to get mine from Smith, online.
Is it possible to remove the lens if it...
Is it possible to remove the lens if it gets scratched or if the weather changes from sunny to cloudy (or vice versa)? If so, how easy is it to swap out lenses?
Absolutely, I have a pair of these myself. It's really easy. The frame itself is quite flexible and just pulls apart, then snaps into place around the new lens. It's quick enough to do on the lift ride up.
Pete OBrien, Employee
Goes great with the Maze helmet
I like how the Phenoms have a distinct plastic frame all the way around the lens, protecting my face from the sharp edges of the lens when I faceplant. The Blackout lens is my everyday workhorse lens for varied conditions. It's not obnoxiously reflective, but still difficult for an outsider to see your eyes. The gold Sol X "Opium Den" lens is my favorite for late spring/summer riding when the sun stays out late. The Blue Sensor Mirror lens works the best for low light storm shredding.

TEMPLE (November 7, 2013)—An electronic sign went up this week at the Temple VA in a move to educate patients and staff about laws that don't allow weapons on federal property.
The discovery of guns and ammunition in an employee's truck and the earlier suicide of a patient who carried a gun into the facility and shot himself prompted a recent safety and security review of the entire campus.
Representatives of the central VA office did the assessment and finished up this week.
VA Chief of Police Thomas Carnes said the recommendations haven't been released yet, but said when they are they will be implemented.
TEMPLE (November 7, 2013) Police at the Olin E. Teague Veterans' Center in Temple are still investigating after authorities discovered nine handguns, more than 5,800 rounds of ammunition, magazines and a knife in an employee's truck that was parked illegally outside the medical facility.
An investigative report obtained by News 10 through the federal Freedom of Information Act details the weapons found on Oct. 2 inside a silver Honda truck that was in a no parking zone on Teague Place Road behind building #202.
Police contacted the owner of the truck after an officer spotted several boxes of ammunition on the rear seat, and he gave officers permission to search the vehicle.
"He admitted to the ammo being his, but was unsure if any weapons were present," the officer said in the report.
The man's name was redacted from the documents released to News 10.
The search turned up a Smith and Wesson Air Lite .357 revolver with a laser grip, a S&W .45 APC Thunder Ranch revolver with a sure fire flash light, a Colt Army special .38 revolver, a S&W DA .45 revolver model 1917, a S&W .45 revolver model 1950, a Browning 9 mm semi-automatic pistol with magazine, a Makarov 9 mm semi-automatic pistol with magazine, a Hecklre and Koch semi-automatic 9 mm with magazine, and a S&W .45 revolver model 1989.
Officers also found 5,883 rounds of various brands and calibers of ammunition and a Karshaw knife with a 5.25 inch blade.
The weapons and ammunition were seized and stored as evidence and the truck's owner was cited for possession of a firearm on federal property and for possession of ammunition on federal property.
On Thursday Central Texas Veterans Health Care System Public Affairs Officer Deborah Meyer said the man involved in the incident is now a former employee of the Temple VA.
Meyer could not say if the incident was the reason for his termination of employment, but did confirm the weapons were confiscated and he was given citations.
Meyer said the incident led to the implementation of unspecified procedures at the Temple VA Hospital campus.

Whats the story behind Shimano Tourney? I have an old set of tourney brakes from 70s (80s?) I assume they're low end, but I'd like know more.
Another question...Why are pretty much all new wheels black. And I'm not talking carbon ones. I like shiny bits. Nice polished shiny wheels. But everything is black. Is it just fashionable? Or is there some mechanical benefit?

My High School Musical
Three seniors will take us along for a ride as they prepare to appear in their final high-school musicals. Read blog posts from Harrison's Marisa Urgo, Stepinac's Doug Daniels and Rockland Country Day School's Tim Bidon at mymusical.lohudblogs.com
Plenty happens in Act 1, scene 9 of "The Sound of Music," on stage at John Jay High School in Cross River this weekend.
Just ask Maeve O'Neill, the John Jay sophomore who directs that scene in the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic.
"The children are in their playclothes and they're laughing and playing with Maria and they're not marching — they're wearing the drapes!" said O'Neill. "So the captain comes in with the baroness, whom he plans to marry, and sees all this going on and he completely freaks out."
He confronts Maria for not following his orders and Maria delivers an impassioned plea for the captain to listen to and love his children.
"They win him back over, when they come back out and sing 'The Sound of Music.'"
The title song begins to melt the captain's long dormant heart, O'Neill said, with the lyric "the hills fill my heart with the sound of music."
"It's interesting how the lines line up — the sound of music is filling his heart — even if nobody realizes it," O'Neill said.
"I've always loved Maria's monologue begging the captain to love his children and I wanted to direct that speech, but Geiger said 'Why not direct all of scene nine?'
"Geiger" is director Amy Geiger, who has helmed exceptional productions at John Jay in recent years, from "Crazy for You" to last year's ground-breaking "A Chorus Line."
O'Neill was a freshman assistant stage manager last year and mentioned that one day she'd like to direct.
This year, that "one day" arrived.
The scene Geiger assigned to O'Neill is a long one.
"I was a little worried at first," the student director said. "But Geiger told me to relax."
The young director watched rehearsals to get a feel for Geiger's directorial flow. She didn't want her direction to differ from the rest of the show.
O'Neill said a funny thing happened when she went to stage her scene.
"I had everything so minutely directed — I want this person to go on this line because of this reason — but as it happened on stage, it didn't work necessarily," she said. "I liked how they stayed in one spot for a while. In the end my blocking got completely reversed."
Almost all of the named non-nun characters in the musical make an appearance in Act 1, scene 9, including Uncle Max and the baroness.
At center of it all is senior Elena Pascullo, as Maria, a far cry — or yodel — from Diana Morales, the character she played in last year's "A Chorus Line."
Pascullo said researching her character gave her portrayal the depth it required. Oscar Hammerstein's lyric "the hills are alive with the sound of music" really resonated with Pascullo.
"It's so relevant throughout the show," the actress said. "Everything she does is surrounded by music, so that definitely sticks in my head at every rehearsal."

text: Latest IRS Sin: $50M Spent on Conferences in 3 Years 'Inappropriate' outlay included line-dancing lessons By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Jun 3, 2013 2:36 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (35) (Newser) – Sympathy might be in short supply for the IRS, which has been hit by an audit at a very inconvenient time. A government watchdog's look at the scandal-hit agency's books found that it spent around $50 million on more than 200 conferences for employees between 2010 and 2012, according to the House Oversight Committee. The spending included baseball tickets, $135,000 in fees for 15 outside speakers (among them: $17,000 paid for a talk on "leadership through art"), and videos showing IRS employees taking line-dancing lessons and acting in a Star Trek parody, the AP reports. The two videos alone cost more than $50,000 to produce, a small part of the $4 million spent on a conference in Anaheim for which the agency failed to follow standard government practice and negotiate lower room rates, congressional aides say. Some of the 2,600 attendees at the Anaheim conference stayed in presidential suites that cost up to $3,500 a night. Acting IRS chief Daniel Werfel says the spending was "inappropriate" and conference spending has since been cut dramatically, the Wall Street Journal reports. He says the expenses for the Anaheim shindig were "an unfortunate vestige from a prior era." [Images (1)] [Videos (1)] IRS employees learn the "Cupid Shuffle" line dance.

Two Bath teenagers charged after two robberies just ten minutes apart
Posted: January 06, 2014|
Two Bath teenagers have been charged in connection with two robberies which happened just ten minutes apart.
Spencer Girt, 18, of Kelston View, Whiteway, and Andrew Marks, 19, of Rosewell Court, in the city centre, have been jointly charged with robbery.
They have both appeared at Bath Magistrates Court, with Girt remanded in custody and Marks released on bail, ahead of an appearance at Bristol Crown Court later this month.
Police are continuing to appeal for a Good Samaritan who helped one of the victims during last week's robberies to come forward.
A 16-year-old boy was allegedly threatened and robbed of his rucksack in Woodhouse Road, in Twerton, between 8.30pm and 9pm on New Year's Day.
A member of the public went to his aid and chased two offenders into Rodney House, where he managed to get the victim's belongings back.
This happened shortly after a 29-year-old man was allegedly robbed of his wallet as he walked along a footpath through St Michael's churchyard.
He suffered a broken nose after being assaulted during the robbery and was taken to the Royal United Hospital for treatment.
Investigating officer Det Sgt Leon Swaby, of Bath CID, said: "We are treating these two incidents as linked as they both happened within the space of ten minutes.
"We are very keen to speak to the man who went to help the teenage victim and bravely chased the offenders, as he has information which could be extremely important to our investigation."
If you are the Good Samaritan or know who he is, or if you have information about these incidents, please call Det Sgt Swaby via the 24-hour non-emergency number 101.

As usual, the United States kills the fly with a sledgehammer, as its overkill in approaching what is a justified attempt to get undeclared revenue and unpaid tax, has now made so very many non-US bankers unwilling to offer US securities and other financial products to their clients, for fear that another "sledgehammer overkill attempt" by the US authorities at some future date, for some other reason, may put those investments in peril. Doing business with the US is simply too risky and all dealings are ever more complicated and the compliance costs continue to mount. The global economy is now so vast, so the US market is no longer the only game in town. China, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Australia and others are far more interesting markets nowadays, with rosier futures, better managed economies, less debt and don't go around the world with a sledgehammer in order to resolve disputes. In addition the stupid FATCA law has made US citizens persona non grata throughout the international business world and now banks outside the US don't even want US citizens resident in other countries as clients, potential business partners outside of the US don't want any US citizens in their business ventures, as the IRS demands that the entire non-US business venture, located outside of the US, with other non US partners, reports all of their earnings, bank accounts, results, etc. to the IRS in the US just because there is one US stakeholder in the company holding more than 10%. At the rate they are going there will be very very few businesses with US citizens outside of the US, limiting the USA's global presence in an ever more globalised world. So, that is the price the US economy will pay for the USA's shortsighted, provincial and poor not thought out legislation and the brutal self destructive approach that they take in dealing with their own citizens living, working and paying taxes overseas and in resolving problems with foreign financial institutions.
Possibly what you say may come to pass but if the goal is to eradicate tax evasion and money laundering then stiff regulation is required. Much of the world's violence and repression exists because of lax regulation. A sort of zero tolerance policy is necessary until a dent has been made in the problem. I think it is a small price to pay to rid the world of criminals.
@Anonymous - "Much of the world's violence and repression exists because of lax regulation." You're kidding, right? The US has become the biggest bully of all terrorising its own citizens who happen to live overseas, while destroying its own economy as described by Peter. The USA happens to be one of the world's biggest tax havens where investors from around the world hide cash while the US turns a blind eye. I used to be against FATCA but now there is a side of me that says 'bring it on!.' I'm going to get a big bowl of popcorn and watch. It's you people living in the States I feel sorry for.
Sadly, many in the US are unaware that their own country, the United States of America, is rated by the OECD and is known by ALL foreign tax professionals as having the world's most opaque tax haven, the State of Delaware, where corporations can register and operate internationally with impunity and without paying taxes to the country where they operate! Delaware is only the worst example. Florida is another, with literally hundreds of thousands of accounts in Florida banks owned by tax dodgers and worse from Latin America in particular. Florida banks gladly accept and shelter their money, money for which no tax has ever been paid to their home countries in Latin America. Switzerland is a kindergarten concerning aiding and abetting tax evasion in comparison to the US. The US has created a real Frankenstein with FATCA, because it will eventually put Delaware, Florida and other banking jurisdictions in the US, who are actively aiding international tax evasion, into the spotlight. Several international lawyers that I have met have clearly said that they are waiting for the moment to demand transparency in Delaware and Florida. It is only a matter of time. Let the US start chasing the world with FATCA, only to see, like Frankenstein, their own draconian law turn on themselves and reveal the tax evasion that has been deliberately and knowingly created in jurisdictions such as Delaware and Florida.
The Wall Street Journal writes an article on the fact that bank secrecy is disappearing thanks, according to them, to the efforts that the United States has taken against Swiss banks, here the oldest Swiss bank, Wegelin, that had to close due to the case brought against them of aiding tax evaders. Oddly, they don't once mention the fact, rightly stated in the comment above, that it is in the USA where the highest, certainly in value, amount of sanctioned tax evasion is going on, notably in places like Delaware and Florida. Why doesn't the WSJ journalist even mention the possible repercussions that this new situation may have on those banks in the USA actively courting and hiding billions in untaxed funds and how FATCA will soon put the international spotlight on US banks, in Delaware, Florida and elsewhere, who are even more engaged in aiding millionaire/billionaire private tax dodgers and corporations (in Delaware) than any bank in Switzerland ever was? Only when the WSJ addresses that aspect will I be able to take their journalism totally seriously on this topic.

The Mother Baby Center: More than a building; a new way of delivering care
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 06 February 2013 12:46
- Every year there are nearly 480,000 premature births in the United States. That's one in every eight live births. In Minnesota, the preterm birth rate is on the rise and has increased by 26 percent since 1990.
- Every year, 120,000 newborns are born with birth defects, and they are a leading cause of infant deaths in Minnesota.
- Maternal age is rising: one in five women in the United Stateshas her first child after age 35.
- Nearly one-third of women in the United States don't receive prenatal care.
The opening of The Mother Baby Center, a partnership between Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota and Abbott Northwestern Hospital, represents a new way of delivering care that reflects the current state of pregnancy and birth. The Mother Baby Center isn't just a building. It brings together the state's leaders in obstetrics and gynecology, and children's health to develop a system-wide approach to address the challenges and opportunities in prenatal and neonatal health.

Medical Assistance, Minnesota's Medicaid program, provides essential care for a broad range of families in Minnesota and nearly half of the program's beneficiaries are children. "Faces of Medicaid" is a year-long series that will highlight stories from some of the patient families at Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota who have benefitted from this safety net program. Protecting Medicaid is a high priority for Children's. Read more about why Medicaid matters to Children's.
My journey started in Bozeman Montana in November of 2009 when I was so excited to find out that my husband and I were expecting our second child. Not long after we got the news, I started experiencing complications with my pregnancy due to a tear in my placenta. Initially, my doctor thought this wouldn't be a big deal, but at 22 weeks the problem grew serious enough that I moved away from my husband in Montana to South Dakota where I was admitted to the hospital for the remainder of my pregnancy.

(http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/zeitgeist/index.html)
At the end of 2010, iPad, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry topped the list of Google's top terms of the year (Justin Bieber was also among the most tweeted terms of the year, too). In the spirit of the times, we've looked at Google's regional list to see if it has any relevance to Blackboard, and it does. With lots of faculty, students and parents logging on frequently, some multiple times a day, "Blackboard" or a similar search was a "Top 10 Google Search Term" in 10 of the top 31 major city searches and one of the most popular sites across the United States.
Atlanta, GA (#3)
Austin, TX (#3)
Chicago, IL (#2)
Miami, FL (#1)
Philadelphia, PA (#1 & #4)
Pittsburg, PA (#2)
Raleigh, NC (#10)
St. Louis, MO (#3)
Tampla, FL (#4)
Washington, DC (#4)
To see the full list of city-by-city search terms, check it out here: Zeitgeist 2010: How the world searched. Also worth a look is the Fastest Rising Queries graph – it's pretty cool to see what was on the minds of people across the United States in 2010.


text: Even with precautions there are risks. Certainly life without risks would be boring. It's like the old story. Ask the photographer "Would you give up one of your two eyes for consistently perfect negatives, or would you be satisfied with average negatives, keep both eyes, but have to wear glasses for the rest of your life ?"

by Masuo Aizawa
Monday, October 18, 2004 | Honolulu, HI
Professor Masuo Aizawa was introduced by Junichi Tanahashi, the President of ECSJ for 2004. After a stellar academic career at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in the field of bioelectronics and biosensors, Aizawa joined the administrative ranks there and is currently serving as president of the University. Professor Aizawas lecture, entitled Innovative Challenges of Bioelectronics, began with a discussion of the world changing to a globalized knowledge society. He identified an emerging new frontier melding biotechnology, nanotechnology, and information technology in which electrochemistry
could play a key role.
Bioelectronics is one field that has grown out of this synergy. Professor Aizawa then painted a historical backdrop of this field. He showed how Galvanis discovery of bioelectric events in a frogs leg spawned the disciplines of electrophysiology and molecular biology. Scientists subsequently began to be interested in how information was processed in the brain. These studies have focused on both inter-cellular (sensory, nerve, immune) and intra-cellular (signal transduction, gene expression) phenomena. The concept of molecular information networks took on new significance not only from a fundamental perspective but also in terms of practical applications (e.g., artificial intelligence). It is interesting that such studies have transcended the hard sciences of biology and physiology into disciplines such as psychology and biomedical engineering.
Professor Aizawa presented the notion of bioelectronics as providing a bridge for the gap between the bio-information world and the electronics information world in which molecules and electrons/photons could be regarded as the transduction elements. As an example of the role that bioelectronics could play in this regard, he described electrically-controlled gene expression in a living cell. Specifically, the activation of nerve growth factor (NGF) gene expression by electric stimulation was described.
The final part of the lecture dealt with challenges for the future in bioelectronics. The first category involves evolving therapeutics including cell-based devices for tissue prosthesis and on-demand production of insulin. Drug delivery is another important application of bioelectronics. The second category seeks cell-based biodevice alternatives for animal testingobviously important from both ethical and cost-cutting viewpoints. Thus the living cell substitutes for an animal to probe the effect of chemical and drug-induced stress. Other aspects in this category include bioanalytical approaches for diagnostics based on patch clamp, optical, or electrode array methodologies.
The last challenge identified was the scale progression from macrolevel biosensors to the ultimate biodevices based on DNA chips or bio-MEMS and micro-TAS. This bionanotechnology interface encompasses challenging problems such as single molecule detection and on-the-fly monitoring of dynamic molecular interactions within living organisms.
All in all, this plenary lecture kept a packed audience in the hall thoroughly engaged in envisioning the exciting possibilities with bioelectronics in the biodevices and bioanalysis areas. Perhaps, the notion of popping a diagnostic biosensor pill that instantly reports back on everything going on inside our body real-time via a reading device may not turn out to be science fiction after all.

Financial Assistance & Scholarships
Sadly, I'm no longer able to offer assistance as I have in the past.Funds budgeted for recreation and entertainment should be the first to trim or eliminate when it's time to cut-back. I don't like to hear that someone didn't sign up due to not having the money because, frankly, this event is priceless and so needed for many people. In scope, an event of this nature, specifically geared for Christian single adults, is quite rare.Make this mini-vacation opportunity a priority. Begin saving today.

My husband inspired these burgers. He wanted something healthier than a beef burger, but with lots of flavor and spice. The chipotle mayo is the key. Now this is one of our family's favorites.
I am trying to cut fat out of my diet, so turkey burgers are the best way to go. I am allergic to wheat, so I eat these without a bun.
Hi, I try to be healthy sometimes but cheat here and there. I came up with this burger to try to cut down some of the fat, but not losing any flavor.
These mini turkey burgers are a great party food, but also filling enough for a meal.
I wanted a change for the better when it came to burgers for my family. I started experimenting with ground turkey and this is what I came up with. Awesome flavor in every bite!
The perfect way to get the kids to not only eat that left over bird but to actually enjoy doing it.
If you are someone who enjoys a good burger but likes to eat healthy, this burger is perfect for you.
Once you taste this burger, you will never again want to eat a beef burger. It is tasty and delicious, and without the fat content of a beef burger. A healthy alternative for a favorite food.
The challenge was to make a healthy burger out of lean ground turkey breast that is juicy and flavorful. The results speak for themselves.
I created this recipe when my husband and I wanted a flavorful burger, but didn't want the guilt from a regular burger. It's easy, delicious, and low cal.
This is one of my favorite burgers to make. Although it's a healthy version of a burger, you never feel like you are depriving yourself of flavor.
These turkey burgers were invented on a whim during a boring night when I decided to 'make something delicious'.
Ground turkey, spinach, a few more ingredients and a grill...and you have one awesome burger!
Sometimes your craving a Thanksgiving dinner, without the fuss and mess. My Tipsy Turkey burger gives you that Thanksgiving taste all in one bite.
I set out to prove to my husband that a turkey burger didn't have to be a dry, bland and boring burger. He now looks forward to turkey burger night and prefers them to traditional beef burgers.
My philosophy in the kitchen is healthy but tons of flavor.
This fabulous turkey burger is so moist and delicious and oh so nutritious!

There's a new resident at Sir Winston Churchill's home at Chartwell in Kent, and he has four legs, orange fur and meows.
The British politician's unusual request to always have an orange-colored cat at his estate has been met with the adoption of a rescue cat named Jock VI, who was a stray taken into the care of an animal welfare group before he was adopted. The cat's desired characteristics were very specific, including white paws and white chest fur. The late Prime Minister's obsession with cats of this kind began when his secretary, Jack Colville, gifted him a similar kitten for his 88th birthday.
Churchill lived in the Kent home from 1924 until his death in 1965, and the estate was his pride and joy, with rooms and property virtually untouched since his passing. The estate currently belongs to the National Trust and is open to the public for visitation. A stop over at the lavish home could mean catching a glimpse of kitty Jock VI along with pictures, books and personal momentos belonging to Churchill during his life.
As animal lovers, we adore the fact that Churchill had such a fondness for cats, and it is even better that the tradition of having an animal at the estate is being kept alive by rescue and adoption.
