Arizona Diamondbacks
Kirk Gibson loves addition of Mark Grace to D-backs
Former Arizona Diamondbacks broadcaster and first baseman Mark Grace started his stint in Tent City this week, serving his time after being arrested twice in a 15 month span for DUI offenses. Tent City is a very different environment for a baseball star who recorded over 2,400 hits in his career with more than 500 doubles.
An environment that is familiar to Grace is the baseball diamond, and that's where you'll find him from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. every day for the next four months, thanks to the Diamondbacks organization.
"I love it," said manager Kirk Gibson when asked about the addition of Grace to the coaching staff. "I called [general manager Kevin Towers] one day and said I'd like to invite Gracie to spring training. Obviously teammates need teammates sometimes and it's just how I felt about it."
After Grace's second DUI arrest became public last August, the team relieved him of his broadcasting duties, and when the season wrapped up they decided not to renew his contract.
"We continued to talk as an organization what would be best for him and with his situation," Gibson said Tuesday at Salt River Fields. "You know he has a lot of knowledge and wisdom. He's been in the game a long time and he's got a great sense of humor so we felt he had something to add."
Team president Derrick Hall felt the same way as Gibson. He said they wanted Mark back in the organization and thought he could have a positive influence on the young players, saying Grace is willing to talk to them about the "rights and wrongs" off the field.
Grace will spend all of spring training with the major league club but also shift over and work with the minor leaguers. Gibson says he will learn the way things work from the bottom up.
"Sky's the limit. You know he's got a great opportunity and I think he's got a great gift. He knows he's got to clean his act up," said Gibson. "I talk to him about it all the time. I think he learned a lesson before but I think this is a whole different lesson."
A lot of organizations invite former players back to help out as assistant coaches or minor league coaches, but this case is a little different. Gibson had no problem acknowledging that this is also about helping out a friend in need.
"His friends are there for him, that's the way I look at it," he said. "It's not like he doesn't have ability or doesn't have anything to add. So with those two things together it was a no-brainer."
During the four months that Grace will spend in Tent City, he is granted work release every day from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. because the Diamondbacks agreed to bring him on as an employee.
"He's good," Gibson said. "So far so good and if you asked him, he's got a good smile on his face here and he really appreciates being here; and my guess is that he's not looking forward to six o'clock."

What is the RSU?
We are a democratic group. Everyone who advocates an anti-capitalist stance is welcome to vote, make motions and otherwise help steer the RSU's campaigns. But voting, as we know, is not enough to make a democracy and allow voices to be heard. We also place prime importance on empowering oppressed person's decisions.
Member of our organization know that Capitalism is intrinsically exploitative and recklessly self-destructive system that was built by the rich, and for the rich. Its institutions encourage the worst in people and divides us any way it can to more thoroughly brutalizes us.
Our organization is non-tendency. This means that means your welcome if you are Communist, Anarchist, socialist, unidentified, or any other freedom fighter, if you are anti-capitalist you can help build that vision with us.
The solution to the problems of capitalism ultimately do not not come in the shape of reform. The political institutions that regulate our social relations are built on a foundation whose core of the dictatorship of capital. Our strategies a built with knowledge of antagonism between us and that system, which ultimately must be unseated.
The Revolutionary Students Union, in association with Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), is committed to campaigning to stop the bogus imprisonment of Rasmea Odeh.
Rasmea Odeh is a 67 year old Palestinian American community leader who was tortured by the Israelis in 1969.
Organizers of the nationwide effort to get justice for longtime Palestinian American leader Rasmea Odeh are urging an all-out mobilization for Odeh's sentencing in Detroit Federal Court on the morning of March 12. Odeh is facing deportation and up to ten years in jail on a trumped-up immigration charge.
Though Rasmea has been unjustly convicted, her struggle is far from over.

In summation: The court case is show trial manufactured to punish Palestinian activists, women, and usher in a new era of attacking those who would support countries fighting liberation against imperialist powers. Rasmea needs our help!

In 2013, the RSU affiliated with the SDS as a chapter in good standing and regularly participates in it nationwide campaigns in addition to its own statewide initiatives.
The new SDS was born on January 16, 2006, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. A group of high school and college students, seeing the pressing need for a broad based group to unite fractured local student groups, worked with members of the old SDS to re-launch the organization. They issued a press release calling for a new generation of SDS to build a radical multi-issue organization grounded in the principle of participatory democracy. Since then, the new SDS has grown to over 150 chapters around the country, winning victories for over 11 years!

Last Saturday saw the moment all footballing architecture fans had been waiting for. There were trials and tribulations, tears, recrimination, months turning to years of delays, but finally it happened. Yes, at last a wheezing Astragal took to the pitch to make his debut for the Wandsworth Common over-60s five-a-side team. Oh, and the FA Cup final between Manchester United and Chelsea kicked off in Norman Foster and HOK's new Wembley Stadium as well.
Although the cup final itself left much to be desired, with Didier Drogba's goal breaking the torpor late on just as the excitement of penalties was looming, the stadium was nothing less than a triumph.
Boasting more WCs than any other venue in the world and room for 90,000 rabid spectators to sit in comfort, it is a delight. But Astragal did spot one aw, which lies in the iconic arch. TV commentators John Motson and Martin Tyler, neither of whom has ever been known to pass up a punning opportunity, spent large parts of the game referring to 'the arch rivals clashing under the arch'.
Groan. Red card!

I have the medela ones, and I'm the same I mostly use them at home. I don't need that many, so I still have a large disposible stash to use out and about.
The medela ones are thick, and after you wash them they can get kind of distorted, so they definetely have to be worn with a thick nursing bra. I guess if you ironed them they would probaby smooth out, but they are still kind of bulky. I don't find them much more comfortable over the Ameda disposables.

I have used both and I love the disposable. I think I have Madela. The disposables are way more comfortable. I think they are more hygenic, too, because they wick the moisture away from the skin.
...and it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune, the piper will lead us to reason...
Whaaaaa here I can't find a box cheaper than 12BUCKS!!!!!!! Anyway, I gave up on disposables adn just stick whatever cloth//hat/dress in my bra when I'm nursing LOL
I have only used the dispoable ones that you currently have and I love them. I tried all sorts of different ones before I opted for that brand. My sister used the reusable ones and hated them because they leaked all the time.

I bought the reuseables and they leak through. But I did run out of my disposables once and used Carefree panty liners. I cut them in half and they worked like a charm. Much thinner than regular nursing pads and I got them for FREE using a coupon out of the Sunday paper. Without a coupon they are only 99cents. So if its about the cost of nursing pads I would recommend the liners they really do work!

Snag This Trendy Day-to-Night Jacket
I love a motorcycle jacket. I guess it's just the bad ass in me, but it's always just so cool.
The trend this holiday season is to layer a fitted leather jacket of a dress (Think last year's black blazer). The style mixes well with sequins, feathered skirts, ruffles, a maxi dress and even an evening dress.
Take Anne Hathaway here. She topped the Marchesa look with a leather jacket. To me, it nails the idea if you're looking for a good way to make it work for evening.
Of course, if you're not party hopping, wearing the jacket with jeans and a tee a la Marlon Brando never goes out of style.

Just here to soak up the info, I have no compact cranks. Just very high geared road doubles, and a couple interesting triples.
Get a bicycle. You will not regret it if you live. --Mark Twain
Last time I was in for a fit, the fitter had to video my pedal stroke so he could slow it down to see what was going on. :-/
Some sort of pithy irrelevant one-liner should go here.
I run a 50/36. I used to do 50/34, but got stronger, and wanted nicer front shifting. With a 12-27, I spent most of my time in the 50t and only use the 36t on the serious climbs.
Thanks for all the great advice guys. Good conversation. A brief point in response to top end gearing. I am not racing or trying to speed too fast down hill. The reason is pretty simple. To me riding much above 30 mph in bike traffic on road I don't know is Russian roulette...my opinion. I am in no hurry to crash. That is why a compact makes the most sense to me in spite of small ring flexibility with 110 BCD. With 50/12 I have all the speed I need if I spin the crank fast which I can downhill in particular. In a paceline in particular I want to see pot holes when flying down the hill. Kinda dangerous to ride over 30 mph in these circumstances. Solo or riding abreast on a know track...no problem. But don't need to go faster than 35 mph for a good rush and start to the next hill.
So do you guys feel 42/52 is too high of gearing for chain rings?
Get a bicycle. You will not regret it if you live. --Mark Twain
Standard is all I've known before until recently I decided to put on a compact just to experiment and to my suprise, I love the the sucker. With the low cadence (in the 60s) going up a steep hill with a standard, my legs takes much longer to recover or don't recover completely at all. But witht a compact, the cadence can stay at least above mid 70s and the legs can just keep going and going. Yes, you shift more with the front but I don't know what the big deal is. It's there for a reason.
I may be fat but I'm slow enough to make up for it.
I REALLY LIKE MY 50/34 and 11-25 set up, seems to work for me. I often think a standard crank set would be a great set up as well. I just hate triples. Good for some, just not my cup of tea.
2014 Felt F2 with Willams 38 carbon clinchers. Really like these sprint shifters.
2015 Gallardo Orange Tarmac with Boyd 30 Rouleurs
I like 50-34 on a friction shifted bike, where you spend most of your time on the 50, and only drop to the 34 in a significant climb.
I like 53-39 on an index shifting crank, because the shifting is crisper (14 tooth vs 16 tooth jump). It, IMO, makes the front crisp and fast, with less overlap and less reluctance to use it.
I liked a 50-36 crank I had, to get the crisp shift between rings, but ended up using the 36 so rarely that I went to a single 46 tooth chainring, and loved the 1x9.
Mostly I ride a single speed now, 47x16, and have done all of the same rides that I did with 9, 18, or 20 gear combinations with 1. So I guess that I am gear agnostic.
So, long story short, I don't think anyone can recommend gearing for anyone else, at least in a meaningful manner.
I'll be buying all my future road bikes with 50/34 as long as I live in Southern California. It seems like the perfect gear combo for hilly and mountainous areas. The 50/11 combo has higher topend than the old tried and true 53/12 that was the de facto standard not very long ago, and the 34/28 combo is nearly mandatory on some of the climbs around here. I never see the small chainring on flat or lightly hilly rides, the range I get with the 50 up front seems perfect for the flats, but 53 would probably be fine too.

12-25: 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25
12-27: 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 24, 27
Note that they are exactly the same except the last two cogs which you should only be using when you're in the small ring. Chances are that if you want the 25, you want the 27. So you suffer no penalty for getting a lower gear.
11-23: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 23
11-25: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25
11-26: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 26
With the 11-25 and 11-26, you lose the 16 which is useful but you'll notice that the width really only comes at the bottom of the range which shouldn't get used that often.
11-28: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 22, 25, 28
If your rings allow you to use the mid and upper ranges of your cassette, everything is still one tooth apart. In the cassettes above, we see that riders that predominantly use their top 5 cogs won't notice any difference from the 11-23 and those that predominantly use the top 6 won't notice a difference from the 11-25. This is still definitely a hill cassette but wider spacing is not as much of an issue at the low end when you're grinding up a hill.
Of course, maximum selectivity would be with a triple and a corn cob. You'd have tight ratios anywhere you wanted them.
50/34, 11-25 good.
I live in a hilly area, don't race anymore, do challenging 30 - 45 mile rides at 14-15 mph avg for fun and personal fitness, no longer ride just to hang with fast groups, and, as someone already said, don't have anything to prove to anybody else anymore.
I ride 50/34 11-28. I'm 27. My knees/legs/back are in great condition. I only bring the latter two points up because I don't really understand why people have to justify their gearing combination with their age/condition.
Coming of standard gearing, it took me a handful of rides to get to know what I was working with but I have come to love this combo in Southern San Diego.
Last edited by enjoi07; 05-21-13 at 11:47 AM.
I ride a 50/34 and either an 11-32 or 11-28 in the back. If there's stuff that's more than 7% for any stretch I'll go with the 11-32, but for say a long climb that is pretty constant grade (like mt hamilton) I'll use an 11-28 and be fine. I don't like killing my knees grinding up 10%+ grades even if it's for a short time. With an 11-32 I can downshift to stand on really steep stuff. Living next to the Santa Cruz mountains you end up climbing a lot, so you don't see many people riding standards out here.
I'll ride the inner for a lot of riding and if I need to just use the smaller part of the cassette. I find myself in the big ring at the top of a hill. I didn't like shifting between rings because you get that weird gap you have to cover with 2-3 shifts in the back but with electronic shifting it's pretty fast to pull that off.

31Pray for the Church Unity
Expand Messages
- Apr 2, 2001Dear Members,
The schism in our church become to an ugly turn. Recently both
factions even started the street fight with the leadership of our
bishops from both side. I am sure there are people in both side wants
to end this, but they are helpless.
I will be posting some letters from the "Methran Kashi" members,
which appeared in the other forum. I hope this will understand us how
the other side thinks about the present situation.
Let we all pray to the almighty to help our leaders to solve this
In Our Lords Love

The quote of the day comes from accused killer Kyle Alleyne, who was in court yesterday for a hearing before his trial, scheduled to begin at the end of the month.
Another hearing is slated next week to determine what jurors can and can't hear about him, but Alleyne asked the judge if he could skip it.
"I add absolutely nothing to the occasion when I'm here," he said. "All it does is interrupt my day. I've been there for 29 months and I have a routine."

Somali Muslims find a new home in Fort Morgan, Colorado.
Fort Morgan, Colorado adjusts to an influx of Somali Muslims.
Reporter's notebook
Reporter Eric Gorski describes his introduction to the Somali Muslims of Fort Morgan.
CENTENNIAL — They gather just before sundown in a vacant office building owned by one of the few people in town who would lease to them.
Large plastic tarps cover the carpet. On the tarps sit row upon row of bowls filled with orange slices, bananas and dates.
It is time to break the fast at Masjid Khadeejah, a mosque in its infancy.
It was founded in March 2008 by well-educated, well-off professionals eager to pray, socialize and teach their children Islam in a place more convenient to their homes and jobs in Denver's south suburbs.
A man rises to give the Adhan, or call to prayer.
A moment later, more than 100 men, women and children enjoy their first sustenance since the Ramadan fast began 14 hours earlier at sunrise.
The larger-than-expected crowd is a nice moment on a journey of successes and setbacks for the new mosque — much like the larger story of Islam in America since 9/11.
As a result of pent-up demand, the United States has experienced a mosque-building boom in recent years. The number of U.S. mosques grew 57 percent between 2000 and 2010, from 1,209 to 1,897, according to a forthcoming University of Kentucky study.
But controversy has accompanied the growth: 35 proposed mosques and Islamic centers encountered community resistance between 2008 and 2010, with concerns ranging from parking and noise to fears about Shariah law and terrorism, a summary by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found.
The most rancorous case involved Park51, a proposed 13-story Muslim community center and prayer space two blocks from the World Trade Center site in New York.
The leaders of Masjid Khadeejah have experienced resistance on a smaller scale in their struggle to lease affordable space despite a problem-free track record at an earlier location.
Their other trials speak to the challenges of living out the faith in the U.S. — finding a qualified imam, reaching their own youths and connecting with the broader community.
"We need to do a better job introducing ourselves," said Behram Mohmand, a 38-year-old kidney specialist originally from Pakistan who attended the breaking of the fast. "Unfortunately, a lot of people were introduced to Islam by airplanes hitting the twin towers."
Mosque leaders had been close to signing a lease three or four times. But then the landlord would back out at the last minute citing worries about parking or something else.
Some concerns were probably legitimate, but to mosque board members, the sudden reversals left the impression that discrimination or profiling also was at work.
Finally, in 2009, space was secured in Lone Tree and the first prayers were held at Masjid Khadeejah, also known as the South Denver Islamic Center.
The space, however, proved too expensive. The founders thought one incident-free year would help them make their case to prospective landlords, but it did not.
Their current home, on the ground floor of an office near the Denver Tech Center, is owned by a wealthy Muslim woman. She has told them they could be evicted at any moment if she finds a buyer or another tenant.
The whole experience would anger many — but not Adnan Al-Ghourabi, a 31-year-old software engineer who is the youngest member of the mosque board.
"The unknown is always scary," he said. "Here's a group of people, they're not so assimilated in society, God knows what they preach, look at these incidents around the world. ... You can understand some of the fears and concerns."
Al-Ghourabi, originally from Iraq, said it underscores the need for Muslims to do a better job explaining the faith and emphasizing they want to be part of society, not isolated.
And Masjid Khadeejah wants to play that role, said mosque president Muhammed Khan. Khan came to the U.S. from Pakistan in 1993, worked as an electrical engineer, earned a master's degree in business administration from the University of Denver and now runs his own company.
Khan said one board member — Frank Vanbaelinghem, a French convert — is interested in reaching out to churches but fears his limited knowledge of comparative religion and lack of time to prepare might undermine the effort.
"My main concern is confrontation," said Vanbaelinghem, a 43-year-old database manager for the state of Colorado.
Right now, the mosque is trying to sort out its own issues — like finding someone to lead prayer.
The man with a white skullcap and bushy salt-and-pepper beard takes his place near the front of the mosque. He removes his folded sermon notes from his front pocket for a final review.
Just that morning, news had come from Norway that someone had blown up buildings in downtown Oslo and shot children on a remote island, leading to speculation that Islamic extremists were to blame.
Only later would the gunman be identified as a blond Norwegian who was influenced by anti-Muslim websites.
Ismaeel Chartier, taking on a temporary role for a mosque in a temporary building, starts to preach.
"We can no longer sit quietly while people in caves steal our voice," he says. "We can no longer sit quietly while people with guns steal our voice."
The mosque tried for almost a year to recruit a full-time imam, said Khan, the president. But no one had the criteria: an intermediate-to-advanced understanding of Islam, proficiency in English and, most importantly, an ability to connect with different segments of the community, he said.
While that effort is suspended, sermons are being delivered by Chartier, who was raised Roman Catholic and schooled in Islam in Egypt. He lacks the Arabic proficiency necessary to lead prayer as a full-time imam, Khan said.
About half of U.S. mosques have a full-time paid imam, up from one-third a decade ago, said Ihsan Bagby, an associate professor of Islam Studies at the University of Kentucky.
He said the shortage of imams conversant in American culture is an ongoing problem and U.S. seminaries are still in the planning stages.
"The imam in America needs to be part pastor and part educator," Bagby said. "And that pastor part is not included in their education overseas."
Although Masjid Khadeejah lacks an imam, it can make claims some larger congregations cannot.
There are beginning Arabic courses (open to non-Muslims, but so far no takers), a community picnic and a children's educational program led by Sima Ali.
"We want them to be solid, active American citizens while having the values of religion," said Ali, who has a master's degree in economics and used to work in finance.
On Sunday mornings, Ali teaches Arabic pronunciation and urges students to donate to a local Muslim-run food pantry. To girls, she teaches the significance of wearing the hijab, or head covering, a display of modesty that is a lightning rod in Western societies.
"It's very hard on these children to get the concept of why we have to do what we have to do," Ali said. "People ask them, 'Are you forced to wear this? Can you take it off?' It is hard for a young mind to fight back."
The fact that a woman oversees the program is significant, said Al-Ghourabi, the board member. He said leadership chose to name the mosque after the Prophet Muhammad's first wife, Khadeejah, because most mosques are named for men and it was a symbolic way to honor women and send a message of inclusiveness.
When the mosque first started, women prayed behind the men in the same room with no partition.
Al-Ghourabi gave the new mosque's first sermon.
He preached about how men and women were not divided by a barrier for prayers during the time of the prophet.
He said he was surprised when the women asked for physical separation. The women, Ali explained, felt more comfortable behind a curtain, where they could shed their hijabs and laugh and pray.
All along, Khan said, the goal has been to create an "extreme environment of openness" where Muslims of all backgrounds and non-Muslims feel welcome.
"We are very nascent, very immature," he said. "We have been surviving. And to us, that is quite a bit of success."

Yes, the time has once again arrived for the most sacred if clichéd of rock-critic tasks: the annual Year-End Best-of Albums list.
As I note annually, the following is my tally not of the year's most "important" or "successful" releases, however you define those terms, but of those I listened to and loved most, which kept me coming back time after time, and which I am most eager to hear again right now—and to share with you.
So, working in reverse order from bottom to top, here are my Top 40 albums of 2014 (drum roll, please!).
40. Leonard Cohen, Popular Problems (Columbia)
Ranking second only to Bob Dylan as our greatest living songwriter, Leonard Cohen hasn't always gotten it right in the studio, sometimes yielding to pointlessly frilly productions that only detract from that monolithic baritone rasp. Here, at age 80, he keeps things mostly simple, the better to let his wit and wisdom shine.

Book Review: 13 Hollywood Apes, by Gil Reavill
From Random House, the first of a new series of detective stories: 13 Hollywood Apes: A Layla Remington Mystery, by Gil Reavill (Amazon link). Oddly enough, this is the second such thriller involving apes that Iãve reviewed this month at The North Country Review of Books. I wish I could say that it is as good as the first one. Parts of it are, and it is certainly an original plot idea. It all starts with a California brush fire, and the murder of 13 chimpanzees at an animal care facility in the hills of Malibu. It ends with a series of gruesome murders of the staff there. Sheriff deputy and assistant district attorney Layla must unravel the twisted twine of the who and why that ties all of the killings together.

Report: Pelicans are set to offer Tyreke Evans a huge offer sheet
Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans has struggled to find a position in the NBA since he joined the league in 2009. He was the Rookie of the Year for the 2009-10 season, when he was just the fourth rookie in history to average 20 points, five rebounds and five assists. But it was immediately unclear if he was a point guard, shooting guard or even a small forward as his career progressed.
After four up-and-down seasons for Evans, the Kings extended a qualifying offer to him this summer after passing on extending his contract last year. While the position that Evans should play is still in question, there is no question if a team might want him to be a big part of their organization. Sam Amick of USA Today Sports is reporting that the New Orleans Pelicans are prepared to offer Evans an offer sheet of four years and between $44 million to $48 million.
The New Orleans Pelicans made a four-year, $44 million offer to restricted free agent Tyreke Evans during their meeting on Sunday night, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the talks. While the Sacramento Kings have the right to match any offer sheet that Evans eventually signs when the free agency moratorium lifts on July 10, it's unlikely they would match such a lucrative deal that, according to another person with knowledge of the offer, could be worth as much as $48 million with incentives.
Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee is reporting the deal could be between $44 million and $50 million bason on incentives, but the exact number isn't known. David Aldridge of TNT reported the deal would be four years and $44 million. Regardless of what the final number is, the Pelicans are trying to keep his yearly salary high in an effort to thwart any inclination for the Kings to match the offer sheet and retain Evans.
To clear the cap space necessary for the Pelicans to be able to offer this kind of money, they will probably need to either trade Eric Gordon and his massive contract or waive the non-guaranteed deals of Robin Lopez, Terrel Harris and Lance Thomas. They would also probably need to either renounce the free-agent rights to Greivis Vasquez or move him in a sign-and-trade that doesn't bring in anything but draft picks or non-guaranteed salary that they can immediately dump.
This still raises so many questions for the Pelicans. If they're able to retain Gordon while signing Evans, how does the rotation of Evans, Gordon, Jrue Holiday and Austin Rivers shake out? You can play small ball, but will Evans willingly play the small forward position when he hasn't wanted to in the past? If Gordon moves on, can you be sure Holiday and Evans are able to play together when both guards need the ball in their hands?
Could Dell Demps be barking up the wrong tree in trying to make a big offer to Evans to lure him away from the Kings? Would it ruin the Pelicans' flexibility moving forward? And is Evans more like the dynamic player whom we saw in 2009-10 or the player we've seen trying to adjust over the past three years? If you have to clear all of those players just to have the room to sign Evans and the Kings match the offer sheet, how do you address your roster needs with newfound holes in the rotation?

In this new book, Wendy Lawson examines traditional theories about the autism spectrum (AS) and reveals their gaps and shortcomings. Showing that a completely different way of thinking about AS is needed, she sets forward the theory of Single Attention and Associated Cognition in Autism (SAACA), an approach that explains autism in terms of the unique learning style of AS individuals. The SAACA approach suggests that whereas neurotypical people can easily shift their attention from one task to another, those on the autism spectrum tend to use just one sense at a time, leading to a deep, intense attention. From the perspective of this new approach, Wendy describes practical outcomes for individuals, families, and places of education and employment, and shows that when the unique learning style of AS is understood, valued, and accommodated, AS individuals can be empowered to achieve their fullest potential. This is a fascinating read for anyone with a personal or professional interest in the autism spectrum, including clinical practitioners, educators, researchers, individuals on the spectrum and their families, teachers, occupational therapists, and other professionals.

Too much bling! It's kind of tacky if you ask me.
lizlee89 7 years
no way - perfection, as usual! she is one of my favorite red carpet dressers, because she always takes risks and ends up looking flawless. I like that this is a little more age-appropriate than she usually goes for (even though she always looks stunning even in somewhat skimpy dresses), and while I agree that the neckline is wierd, I think she looks amazing...

Like everyone else has said, the dress doesn't do her figure any justice. But overall nice look.

Love it though her hips look a little odd (most likely because she has such a fit shape, there is no curve.)

Greg Johnson
Thank you, Vishal. I would like to thank Deutsche Bank for inviting us to the conference. I'd like to talk to you today about Amkor Technology, and our position in what's called the outsourced semiconductor packaging and testing space. First, before I do that, I'd just point you to the disclaimer on forward-looking statements and our guidance policies. This is also in our SEC filings.
From Amkor, so the packaging and test base is estimated to be about a $50 billion market. About half of that is internal with the IDMs, and about half of that is outsourced in the OSAT space and we have about a 12% market share of that $25 billion today.
We are the number two player in this space. We are one of the largest players. There is a Tier-1 of the top-four, which have about 45%, and then there is the host of smaller companies that compete in more niche markets.
Amkor has been an industry pioneer. We actually pioneered a lot of the technology over the years and we have been driving innovation in the space for over four years. We did go public in 1998, and have been listed NYSE since then.
One of our key strengths is that we believe we are in the right markets with the right customers, so we are looking at not just individual customers, but spaces where there is growth and where there is the potential to operate profitably.
We have a strong competitive position within the OSAT space, being the number two player, and there's a number of favorable trends from the perspective of the OSATs, where both, the growth of fabless design houses where they don't have any other manufacturing, so kind of by definition their business gets outsourced to the OSAT, as well the IDMs more fab-lite strategy tends to favor us as they outsource more and more of their demand.
From the key financial highlights, the information here is, this is the last trailing 12 months through June 30th. Amkor, although we are in asset-intensive business, so a lot of our growth does need to come from CapEx. We take a very balanced perspective with respect to our profitability. We want to focus on growth, but profitable growth not just every top line dollar, but we do want to balance that with strong cash flow generation. We look to take the right opportunities, but not necessarily every opportunity.
We do, obviously, work in a very cyclical industry. Our goal is to manage our profitability through those cycles and be able to take advantage of both, growth cycles as well as be defensive when things are correcting.
The balance sheet has gotten much stronger, we paid down about $900 million of net debt in the last six years and debt-to-EBITDA right now is about 2.7, so a very healthy balance sheet and better than it had been in the past.
Our ROIC has been under some pressure in the last couple of quarters, but it's still above our whack. It's about 9%, which is one of the higher ones in the space as well, and we do view that we are well positioned for future growth.
Net sales were about $2.8 billion. EBITDA was about $500 million, adjusted for legal settlement that we had in last quarter that goes up to $533 million, and net income also goes up to right about $100 million, when we adjust for that legal settlement.
Let's talk about the growth drivers that we see, so there is a couple of different areas that we are looking at. One is the end market, and specifically for us where we've seen a lot of growth is smartphones and tablets in the communication space. It's about 45% of the business now and it's been gaining share relative to some of the other end markets and we see that as continuing to grow.
We are deeply penetrated in the key devices in all the spaces that we look at and we do have really strong ties with both, our customers and with their customers, the OEMs where we work very closely with them on developing their roadmaps.
There is also drivers with respect to technology, and for us the big driver technology-wise in the space, has been the migration out of build wire bond. There are two avenues for that. One is, migrating into flip chip, which is really our strength. We focus on advanced packaging more so than our other competitors. Right now about 45% of our business has migrated into flip chip and that's been very successful for us and very positive for our gross margins, and we've also developed some leading edge technology called fine pitch copper pillar, which enables much finer pitch and also cost reductions in the space. Three packaging is coming up in the next couple of years, and then there is copper wire bonding, which is the other migration out of gold wire bonding, and we are ramping that very rapidly this year.

Colombia News
¿Cuál será el legado de Santos?

Elections and Peace in Colombia
Jun 18, 2014

Your dog loves to keep you company on day hikes, and she's even more excited if she feels like she has a job to do. Stash some treats, a collapsible bowl, and a leash or some small water bottles inside saddlebags of the Ruffwear Approach Pack and let your pooch haul her own supplies. The Approach features a harness designed for comfort and stability under light loads, and the saddlebags have a low, streamlined shape that complements your dog's balance. A padded assistance handle gives you a quick way to lift your pooch over otherwise-insurmountable obstacles, and Ruffwear's designers were careful not to include any excessive straps or attachments that might hang up in bushes or low-hanging branches. This Ruffwear dog pack comes in five different sizes so it'll fit securely on pint-sized pups or burly beasts.
- Durable nylon material withstands season after season of running, hiking, rolling, and other dog-like activities
- Web Master Harness uses an adjustable system of wide, synthetic webbing that feels comfortable around the chest and haunches
- Web Master Harness and attached saddlebags were designed to provide a balanced weight distribution so your pooch will feel balanced on her feet
- Padded Assistance Handle makes it easy to grab this pack and help your dog over large obstacles or lift her into a vehicle
- Single-piece, v-ring leash attachment point makes it easy to secure a leash to this pack when necessary
- Other features include stash pockets, coated zippers, and external gear loops
- Reflective trim improves visibility at in low-light situations like dusk or dawn
- Ruffwear recommends your dog carry no more than 25-30% of his or her body weight in the pack. If your dog is new to packs, start with a light load and slowly work up to heavier loads as he/she gets used to the extra weight.

Want better behavior from your dog?
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I don't know what it is about a pack but all of a sudden once the pack goes on, there's a radical behavior shift and Ramsey goes into what I call 'work mode.' He behaves better - WAY better - like he's got a job to do. So, I LOVE this pack. I admit that sometimes I put it on him even when it's not needed just for the improved behavior.
The pack goes on easily and doesn't seem to bother him. It doesn't restrict his movements at all. And if you cinch it correctly, it won't flop from side to side when he's running or cavorting. You do have to balance the weight on both sides though.
I've used it for other things too....We lived in San Francisco at the top of a steep hill for a bit. And the Whole Foods was at the bottom of the steep hill. Ramsey used to come grocery shopping with me and help carry the groceries home.
Ramsey is 60 lbs. Tall slim goldendoodle and he uses a size L.
Here he is enjoying the Telluride snow while we're on a snowshoe.
Great Pack

My name is Bodhi. I am almost two years old. I wear size medium, It fits me well. This is one of the best Packs I have used and highly recommend it. Have fun out there.
Best Regards,
A very nice pack
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Hello, I am Ethan a young german shepherd, I was 2 years old at the time of the picture, I am ussing the L/XL size, and as you can see it fits very well on me, the orange color mixes with my black/brown back, the pack has good water repelency, and is very easy to clean after a ride on the mud and grass.
Lisa E, Gearhead
Hi Uriel and Ethan,
Great review and photo! You look very worn out. Glad to see that you are using your gear!
Ok, enough photos everyone. I'm working.
Ditch Pitt packs for a week!!
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
My NC Ditch Pitt, Lucy, loves her pack. We are going to do a seven day hike along the Appalachian trail and so far the test runs have gone well. Since day one, she's loved wearing the pack and I have slowly added weight to it. Be warned though, if you have done a test run with food in it, don't leave it lying around! Dogs can chew threw it and there is no repair kit sent so my sewing skills are going to have to step up!!! Lol an extra patch of fabric would be handy.
Her pack almost blends with the leaves
Lola's pack was much lighter once she drank most of her water at the top of the hike.
Great day for a hike with her pack
Lola is loving her pack now that the temps have dropped a bit. Hiking up to Lionshead on the AT near Salisbury, CT.
Great pup pack!
My 25 lb. australian shepherd, Hendrix, loves this pack and the xs fits perfectly. Whenever we put his pack on he knows that he is about to go on an adventure & that makes one happy dog!
Functional + fashionable
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
It doesn't get much better than having your dog carry some of her own junk and look great at the same time. My dog Lola (#dumbodoodle) is a 5m old 25 pounder and barely fits into a small, but I think she should grow into it nicely. Here she is taking a break on a hot day in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Can you unattach the bags from the harness and use the harness by itself for small walks?
No, but there's another RuffWear harness that you can do that with... I think it's the Palisades pack.
Perfect dog pack!
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I looked through the reviews, I know the Ruffwear Palisades pack is "superior" according to "experts". However, this pack is great and can't be beat for the price. Copper is used to wearing a harness on walks (he's got the border collie pull), so he adjusted very quickly to wearing the pack. I'm so happy I can tuck away his own water bottle, collapsible bowl and treats/food/ whatever in his own pack. The fit is great and has survived hiking in Colorado, including being submerged in a creek as he chased after a few birds. Would highly recommend! Great quality, great price and has the tendency to make your dog look even cuter!
Sarah, Gearhead
What a handsome guy.. great shot.
Now she can carry her own poop!
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I got this for my dog so she could carry her own water, and am slowly acclimating her to the extra weight. But in the meantime, I discovered the awesome benefit... when out on a 10 mile loop, I don't have to have a poop bag swinging from MY backpack any more!
In all sincerity, this is a great product. Super roomy pockets, rugged construction (good thing, too, since she's not used to being extra wide), easy leash attachment point... it's all good. There's some really well thought out details that at first I didn't understand; you can lift up the pockets and unclip them from the harness straps so you can access the buckles without rooting around blindly. I'm super happy with this purchase (especially because of the lack of poop!).
Great pack for backpacking
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Freja loves her new pack! We had hoped that it would slow her down just a little, which is did not. I guess that's telling of how little she is bothered by it. We pack the backpack with her food and her bowl when we go on packpacking trips. She also carries some of our trash on the way out.
They only times she seems slightly annoyed with the pack is when we manage to pack it unevenly, which is quite easy to do. Aside from that, and the very tiny buckle that straps one of the bags to the girth (which is a bit hard to get to when you have a dog who wants to run off and chase critters) this would easily have been a five star review.
We got a size small for Freja who is a 50 lbs German Shorthair Pointer mix. It fits her perfectly!
We just got this pack for our GSP! She looks just like Freja!
How much food and water were you able to fit in the pack? We want to go on backpacking trips that could last three days- two nights. Junup (our pup) eats about two cups a day....
Many thanks ,
Yaya, Joe and Junup.
It's a really roomy pack, I have the medium for my dog (the review above), and can stuff a ruffwear sleeping bag inside, no problem. You just want to make sure you weight your dog incrementally... you don't want to load her up with 3 days worth of stuff if she's never carried a pack before. Anyway, you could easily fit 6 cups of food in one side of the medium, so you'd have no issue. If you're taking her out for the first time I'd stuff your puffy or something like that in the pack (also, make sure it's weighted evenly, if it's not it's hilarious but really hard for the dog to walk!).

Our go-to pack for our crazy dogs
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Our Airedale (XL), has had this pack for years now (His picture is somewhere down on this thread). He's chased deer, rolled in it, been through scrub oak, sage, etc, and it has yet to even have a hole in it. Introduce his little sister 4 years later, and we decide it's time she needs to carry her own stuff. She's a Welsh terrier, significantly smaller but with 10x the energy. We ordered her a small, and it fits her great. She wasn't particularly happy about it, we just make sure to not overload her pack and keep it balanced. Happy trails! Woof Woof!
Hello! I have a 7 month old Catahoula mix that is measuring in at 29.5 inches right now. Should I size up expecting him to fill out or go for a medium?
Mark Burnett, Employee
It would definitely depend on the breed that your pup is mixed with - I would suggest sizing up because dogs tend to continue growing past a year of age. Once again, this definitely depends on the mix of your dog for sizing.
Does this pack have any straps to cinch down the load in the saddlebags?
Adam Saucedo, Gearhead
Hey Rebecca,
This pack does not have any straps to cinch down the load in the saddlebags.
Much Love, WOW

The XS fits my 25lb Shiba perfect!! Brody now carries his own snacks and water while out on adventures.
What a cute pup! Welcome to the Backcountry Community, Sarah!
Andi, Employee
Recommended for any active dog
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I often dream of my dogs making coffee for me on Sunday mornings. Since that seems unlikely, having them carry their supplies on hikes and backpacking trips is the next best thing. Our dogs are a 45 lb Australian Shepherd (L) and a 18 lb Dachshund Chihuahua Miniature Pinscher mix (XS) and these packs fit them perfectly. With a free range of motion these packs don't weigh the dogs down and carry food, water and small odds and ends. Make sure once your pup has the pack on snugly that all straps are tied away to insure you don't have any snags. Bonus: Everyone on the trail thinks your dog is somehow even more cute now
I have a Collie X Jack Russell here in New Zealand. I measured his girth for a backpack and he is right on the border between XS and S i.e. 55 cm - Which size should I go for? Thanks
It says the XS is good for a dog whose girth, measured at the widest point around it's ribcage, is between 17 - 24inches. Therefore, if your dog is done growing, and it's girth is measured at 55cm, or right under 22inches, I would say to go with the XS.
Hope this helped.
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question James. XS it is!
Happy to be of service. I hope that the size works out well for your pup! In the unfortunate event that it does not, BC will exchange the product pretty painlessly, but hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Salta to Cafayate
El Indio is the only company which runs buses between Salta and Cafayate, one of the most scenic routes in north-west Argentina.
There are 3 buses per day, leaving Salta at 7am, 1pm and 7pm, and the journey takes about 4 hours. There is a short 15 minute stop at the halfway point where you can buy food and drinks.
The scenery in the second half of the journey is excellent, as the bus winds its way through the Quebrada de las Concahs, where you can see some bizarre rock formations, which have been named after that which they resemble; look out for The Devil's Throat, The Toad, The Castles and The Amphitheatre. To see these properly you'll probably need to arrange a separate visit as you'll only catch a passing glimpse of them as the bus passes.
Cafayate to Tafi Del Valle
After leaving Cafayate we moved on to Tafi del Valle, four hours journey by bus to the south. There are two buses a day with Aconquija which pass through Tafi del Valle on route to Tucuman. The first bus leaves at 6am and that's the one we took. The route is very scenic, especially at that time of morning when the sunrise lights up the mountains.
The buses leave from the small terminal at the corner of General Guemes and Alvarado, and the cost is 17 pesos (as of 2007).
From Salta to Cafayate
The five singles were transported in this area by a classic bus. Our drivers were excellent, the road sometimes hard
Impressive was seeing the Movi track passing by on the way above the clouds and driving direction to the "Salina grande"
All i know about this way of travelling is that a german travel buro is specialised in this way of traveling, In Argentina and Morroco, maybe in other countries aswell

How To Amend Your Return
If you make a mistake when you fill out your return, you can correct it. Here's how.
I filed my income tax form wrong. What should I do?
- You should file an amended return as soon as possible after you determine that your original return was filed incorrectly. For tax year 2014, use Form D-400X, Amended North Carolina Individual Income Tax Return 2014. For tax year 2013, use Form D-400X, Amended North Carolina Individual Income Tax Return 2013. For tax year 2012, use Form D-400X, Amended North Carolina Individual Income Tax Return 2012. For tax years 2009 through 2011, you must complete a corrected Form D-400, Individual Income Tax Return with the amended indicator filled in for the tax year you are amending AND you must also complete Form D-400X-WS, Worksheet for Amending Individual Income Tax Return, and attach it to the front of the corrected D-400, Individual Income Tax Return. Do not send a copy of the original return. For tax years 2008 and prior, use Form D-400X, Amended North Carolina Individual Income Tax Return.
Is there a deadline for filing an amended return?
- Amended returns requesting refunds must normally be filed within three years of the date the original return was due,
including any approved extensions, or within two years after the tax was paid, whichever is later. However,
special rules extending the time for filing refund claims beyond the normal three-year statute of limitations
apply to overpayments attributable to (1) worthless debts or securities, (2) capital loss carrybacks, (3)
net operating loss carrybacks, or (4) certain events. For overpayments resulting from worthless debts or securities, the period of
time for requesting a refund is seven years; for overpayments resulting from capital loss or net operating
loss carrybacks, the period of time is three years from the due date of the return for the year in which the
loss was incurred rather than three years from the due date of the return for the year to which the loss is
carried back. Limited-Time Extension of the Statute of Limitations: An airline employee, or surviving spouse of an airline employee that meets all four conditions has until October 15, 2015 to file a claim for refund of individual income tax paid to North Carolina on an airline payment that the airline employee later transferred into a traditional IRA. For additional information, please see Important Notice dated May 6, 2015, Limited-Time Extension of the Statute of Limitations With Respect to Refunds of Individual Income Tax Paid on Amounts Received as a Result of an Airline Carrier Bankruptcy. If an individual is subject to a contingent event or an event or condition other than a contingent event and files notice with the Secretary of Revenue, the period to request a refund of an overpayment is six months after the event concludes. For additional information, please see Exception to the General Statute of Limitations for Certain Events. Amended returns showing additional tax due should be filed and the tax and interest paid as soon as the additional tax is determined to avoid additional interest charges.
If the IRS changes your federal return, you must amend your State return within six months from the date the federal report is received. If you do not amend your State return to reflect the federal changes and the Department of Revenue receives the report from the IRS, an assessment may be made by the Department within three years from the date the Department received the report, and you forfeit your right to any refund which might have been due by reason of the changes.
Is interest paid on amended refunds?
- If an amended refund is not processed within forty-five days after the date the original return was filed or the date the original return was due, whichever is later, interest will be paid.
How can I check on my amended refund?
- Call the Department of Revenue
toll-free at1-877-252-4052.
