This itinerary is valid for departures from 01 January 2014 to 08 May 2016. View the itinerary for departures between 01 May 2016 - 31 December 2016
Day 1 Havana
A complimentary transfer is included with your trip. Please ensure you provide your flight details to your booking agent at least 14 days prior to travel so the transfer can be organised.
After collecting your luggage, please continue walking through the 'Main Arrivals Hall' of the airport (Do not exit through the side door). An Intrepid representative holding a sign with your name on it will be waiting to take you to your pre-arranged transfer. If you can't locate the Intrepid representative, please call +53 52506496 (Do not rely on somebody else to call for you as they may be seeking commissions to direct you to another transfer company).
In the evening, approximately 7pm, you will meet your local guide and the other members of your group for a pre-tour briefing. Please ask reception to confirm the time and place of your meeting. We'll be collecting your insurance details and next of kin information at this meeting so please ensure you have all these details to provide to your leader. The briefing is generally followed by an optional group dinner.
If you can't arrange a flight that will arrive in time, you may wish to arrive a day early so you're able to attend. We'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability).
Havana grew from an obscure port to a bustling hub when gold and silver was being pillaged by the Spanish from New World and taken to Spain. While the ships gathered in growing numbers, the pirates were not far behind and the treasures resting in Cuba's ports were attacked again and again by Dutch, English and French pirates. The Spanish built fort after fort for protection but the English eventually captured the territory. An economic boom followed due to the English lifting the Spanish trade restrictions. Spain eventually exchanged the Florida territory for the island, but these years left an indelible mark on the city and the country, and Havana is slowly restoring its beautiful colonial buildings.
The best place to start any Havana experience is in the Old City. Havana's Old City is one of the best preserved and was designated a World Heritage Site in 1982. The streets are lined with colonial architecture, 16th century fortresses and countless churches. Make sure you visit La Catedral San Cristobal de la Habana, described by the novelist Alejo Carpentier as 'music set in stone'. Also worth seeing is the Palacio de los Marqueses de Aguas Claras (now a restaurant) and the Plaza de Armas, complete with a statue of Manuel de Cespedes, one of the leaders of the independence movement. There are plenty of good museums to check out including Museo de la Revolucion and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes.
While in Havana you must try a Coppelia ice cream. You can join the hundreds of locals who line up to eat the delicious ice-cream that is heavily subsidised by the government to keep the populace happy. There is a Coppelia in every major town in Cuba and the one just up the road from our Hotel in Havana is the biggest on the island. Sometimes there is just one flavour available, a whole bowl of which could set you back about 10 cents. You can however pay up to $3 if you want to skip the queue and go the section where the prices are in Convertible Dollars (CUC) rather than the local pesos (CUP).
Ice cream in hand, why not head to a local baseball game. This is a great experience as the local atmosphere is very colourful and unique and can get quite rowdy at times. Baseball is by far the number one sport in Cuba so the locals can get very passionate about it. Its also interesting to note that the only advertising is government community announcements such as: sport is good for your health! The season runs from October to May.
Day 2 Soroa/Vinales
Next we head west toward Vinales, which is approximately a 3 hour drive in our private bus but we break the journey in Soroa. Soroa is a tiny town in the heavily forested Sierra del Rosario. We have lunch here and also have enough time to take a tour of the impressive orchid garden which boasts 700 different species.
Later we continue on toward the dramatic limestone pin-cushion hills of the Pinar del Rio province and the rural town of Vinales.
Vinales is a small and charming rural village. Its probably the easiest place to mix with locals in Cuba who are very sociable and love nothing better than to drink rum and dance the night away. There are only 3 bars in this town so it is difficult to get lost!
The scenery around Vinales is some of the most picturesque in Cuba. There are many outdoor optional activities available including exploring the area by bicycle or hiking through the tobacco fields or to exploring the caves in the mountains.
Tonight we stay in a Guesthouse. Room facilities include air-conditioning or ceiling fan.
Day 3 Vinales
Day 4 Trinidad
For most visitors to Cuba, Trinidad is their stand-out favourite destination (well, for the ones that make it this far anyway). No other colonial city in Cuba is so well preserved, and the local residents are extremely friendly and festive. Trinidad is steeped in religion, none the least of which is Santeria, which is one of the Afro-Cuban religions (related to Voodoo) that is practised in Cuba.
La Villa de la Santisima Trinidad was founded by Velazsquez in 1514 and the defender of indigenous rights in the Americas, Fray Bartolome de Las Casas, attended over the settlement's first mass. The future conqueror of Mexico, Hernan Cortes recruited sailors here for his future expedition into that land. The town was fairly inactive until the 1800s, when French refugees fleeing a slave revolt in Haiti landed here en mass and brought with them sugar cane cultivation. The new residents settled and farmed in the Valle de Los Ingenios, just northeast of the town. Vast wealth flowed into the local economy from sugar cane cultivation and the area produced one third of the country's sugar at one point. The sugar boom was terminated by the two wars of independence, but the wealth generated by the industry remains visible in the town's once grand mansions, colourful public buildings, wrought iron grill-work and cobble-stoned streets. The town and area also saw a lot of action during and following the triumph of the Revolution, as gangs of counter revolutionaries hid out and struck from the safety of the mountains. The Museo Nacional de la Lucha Contra los Bandidos and the Casa de los Mártires de Trinidad, chronicles the struggles of this period in the town's history.
There are some great Spanish-style churches to explore here and nearby is the Valle de los Ingenios, where sugar plantations stretch out as far as the eye can see. For some beach side fun head down to Playa Ancon for some long stretches of white sand. This is a good place to pull on the snorkel and have a peak and Cuba's underwater world but please be careful of the sea urchins! For more land based activities go horse or bike riding, but be warned, Cuba's bicycles, just like its cars, are vintage. There are also some great treks to be made in the nearby Sierra del Escambray mountains.
While in Trinidad, you can visit a folklore dance and music show at an open-air venue. Cuba has a hugely rich and varied dance and music tradition that draws its roots from as far a field as Africa and France. Many musical styles that have greatly influenced music worldwide originated in Cuba, such as Mambo, Cha-cha-cha, son, and rumba.
Trinidad has a strong Afro-Cuban community and some of the Afro-Cuban religions are also represented in these shows. By now hopefully you have learnt a few steps of salsa and can join in with the locals.
Day 5 Trinidad
Day 6 Cienfuegos
Cubans are known to be very proud people, and the citizens of Cuba's third largest port city call their town La Perla del Sur (The Pearl of the South).
Cienfuegos' appeal lies partly in the European flavour of its colonial centre, with a wide Parisian-style boulevard and elegant colonnades. There is ambience enough here to have inspired Cuba's most celebrated 'son' singer to write the words 'Cienfuegos is the city I like best'. He was born nearby, which may have helped.
While here we take a visit to the Palacio del Valle. Once a modest home for a local trader, this palace is now Cienfuegos' architectural pride and joy. The entire edifice drips with ornate carvings in Venetian alabaster.
Day 7 Havana
On reaching Havana we return to our hotel and it's time for a final night of salsa. Hit the streets and celebrate a fantastic adventure.

Feeney June
This trip is a snapshot of Cuba. The transport was excellent and we got a good overview of Cuba.We arrived in Havana 2 days before the start and I would recommend doing this and if possible a few relaxing days at end of trip as travel is very intensive, with some long bus journeys. It is lovely staying with the Cuban people and getting an insight into how they live and their fascinating history, but be aware there are no hotel stays and accommodation is very basic. Our guide was a really nice guy but lacked organisational skills at times. I think intrepid need to update their trip notes to reflect what actually happens.

Friday Finds--Mel RobsonFriday, September 05, 2008
I recently fell in love with Mel Robson's work through a post on Design*Sponge, where they are doing a virtual design tour of Australia. She is an amazing ceramic artist who has a self-proclaimed obsession with roadmaps, recipes, sewing and handwriting. Her work entails a lot of research and I love the exhibitions she's been in. Check out her blog for frequent happenings and her website as well (under construction).

GMO Shows Why BTFD In Small Caps Is Dead (In 1 Simple Chart)
The future for US Small Caps is not a bright one, according to GMO. While High Quality US equities are expected to return a meager 2.1% annually over the next 7 years, Small Caps have become so egregiously over-valued that GMO's forward-looking estimate of Small Cap performance is a dismal 5.0% annual loss over the next 7 years (compared with a 6.5% annual return average for broad US equities). It seems the BTFD easy money has been made in this bubble...

With all due respect to Grantham and Inker (I know them both personally), their 5 year asset class returns have been total trash for the past 20 years. I can't take them seriously.
Then how do they keep getting assets? I recall they lost 30% of their clients when they under-weighted equities during 1999/2000 Bubble, but have grown since then.

Which vindicates the fact that the only reason the market is being held in relative neutral, for the next 50 years, is to allow orderly liquidation of the securities held in all the pension and other insurance accounts, likley in the multiquadrillion range.
Lord Blankfiend has to sell a coupla billion dollars of shares he has been 'managing' for CALPERS, and Jamie (this is not a man's name) buys them for eesentially the same price that Blankfiend wants, with the FED waiting down at Tim Horton's to give Jamie for any shares they don't want right now. And there goes part of the $85,000,000,000 that was given to the primary dealers in February.
And on, and on, and on.....
THAT's why a 2% 'growth rate' is predicted.
Without the FED, to absorb all the sold off securities to fund with its new FRNs, for donuts for Alan Greenspan, and Bill clinton's pension payments each month, you can see where there is only one outcome, hint:

I tried looking it up in the FAQ and I don't see it listed. What exactly is Backlash? How is it activated? Any help would be much appreciated.
When a character with Backlash wins a round the ability gets activated and affects you (the owner of the backlash character).
It's usually prejudicial for the player. See Beef, for example:
Backlash: - 2 Life Min 2
If Beef wins the round, the number of Life points of the player controlling Beef will be reduced by 2, or up to a minimum of 2. If the number of Life points of the player controlling Beef is lower than or equal to 2, then the ability will have no effect.
Put it this way: say you're using Beef.you win the round with him.he does his damage normally,BUT he inflicts two damage to you(at a minimum of two)..then there's Gork,who does the same thing with poisoning yourself,and Norman,the card who reduces your pills.
Backlash is activated only when a card with the Backlash ability wins a round. You will end up losing life points or pills. Example: Bernie, Norman, and Gork

Does anyone here get the newsletter for the National PTA (Our Children)? What about your state PTA magazines?
I didn't even KNOW that there was such a publication. I have no idea if our PTA subscribes and if they do, they certainly don't share it with us! So, after finding out that they accept items/articles submitted to publish in the newsletter, I send in an article to our state PTA (about, what else? recess, LOL!) and they accepted it ... yes, I'm going to be published! Speaking to someone at the state PTA office, I asked her if all the PTA's get the magazine and she said it was up to the PTA to subscribe and that usually it's the officers or president who gets it. And she said "yes" they should share the information with PTA members. Looking around the website I found out that they have art contests and lots of other interesting stuff. So I subscribed to both the National and my state magazines.
I'm a bit angry, though not surprised, that our PTA either doesn't subscribe or doesn't share with information with members (and I'm not sure which, but neither would surprise me)
I'm just wondering how many people are aware and how many get?

Wine and Spirits Retail Chain Standardizes On March Networks Solution
Total Wine & More has deployed a March Networks solution to capture video evidence to assist with liability protection.
By SSI Staff · March 27, 2014
OTTAWA, Canada — March Networks announced that wine and spirits superstore Total Wine & More has standardized on its next-generation retail video surveillance solution. The privately-owned chain is using the offering to maintain security and loss prevention efforts across 100 outlets located in 15 states, and to capture video evidence to assist with liability protection as it grows its e-commerce business.
Total Wine, which is adding 12-15 new stores annually, transitioned to the March Networks 8000 Series Hybrid NVRs and Visual Intelligence software when it began opening Internet fulfilment centers in its stores. The 25,000-square-foot retail outlets hold nearly 14,000 types of wines, beers and spirits and feature walk-in cigar humidors and keg rooms, wine tasting areas and classrooms.
While existing analog cameras are in place to monitor the stores' public areas, Total Wine needed high-definition (HD) IP cameras to capture essential data when packaging bottles that could retail for up to $2,000. The 8000 Series recorders can support a mix of analog and IP cameras or as many as 32 IP cameras, giving Total Wine the freedom to transition to HD video cost-effectively as its business requirements evolve, according to the company.
"We didn't want to abandon our analog cameras, and the March Networks solution allowed us to add more IP cameras to our build-out where and when we needed them," says Total Wine Senior Project Manager Mark Ganter. "We're very happy with the solution and the support we have received. We have such vast coverage that we can see almost every part of a store, and we now use the video surveillance system if we need to investigate a problem or inspect an area in any of our stores."
Total Wine operates mini-fulfillment centers within select stores, where product is pulled from the shelves, packaged and shipped to customers by courier. IP cameras in the fulfillment rooms capture images of the bottles, shipping information and labels for proof of packaging and delivery. Additional IP cameras are positioned to capture the pickup by the courier, at which time all liability transfers to the courier.
If the need arises, Total Wine can review its video archives to retrace the steps of the fulfillment process and verify exact details. The 8000 Series Hybrid NVRs provide the retailer with centralized system management and the ability to remotely access live and recorded video. In the future, Total Wine may also take advantage of video analytics and software applications available in the March Networks retail portfolio for expanded loss prevention, operations and marketing intelligence.
"Our experience working with some of the world's largest retailers has resulted in our next-generation offering, which is ideally suited to help organizations like Total Wine & More protect and grow their business and optimize operations," says Net Payne, CMO, March Networks. "Retailers are using video-based intelligence to better protect assets, prevent losses, enhance security and increase profits in the process. The technology is now considered a competitive advantage rather than just a security system."

Ghai told IANS: "For Sarabjit's role we have Anurag, the boy who was in 'Black & White'. He is brilliant and one of the finest actors. Our director feels he will play the part well, so we may cast him."
There were reports claiming Sonakshi Sinha will play the role of Sarabjit's sister.
When asked, Ghai said: "Sonakshi is very much on our wish list, but we have not finalised anyone so far. Sarabjit Singh's family has given their approval for the project."
To be directed by Ishwar Singh Muchhal, the biopic will bring to the screen the tragic story of Sarabjit who was convicted for his alleged involvement in the 1990 serial bomb blasts in Lahore and Faisalabad in which 14 people were killed. He was serving his sentence in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat jail and on April 26 his inmates attacked him with bricks and plates and the injuries led to his death.

As Ellis Conklin reported yesterday, a new effort to abolish the death penalty is underway in the legislature. The debate over the ultimate punishment has been going on for decades, but it's not just about morality any more. Like so many things, it's also about the economy.
His argument, derived in part from two studies he has has worked on (one for a group that advises lawyers working on capital cases, and another for the Washington State Bar Association) is strictly monetary. Since the death penalty was reenacted in this state in 1981, it has cost the state "millions and millions of dollars," Larranga says.
Precisely how much is hard to track down, partly because allocations come from different levels of government. But Larranga points to the recent trial of convicted Kirkland quadruple murderer Conner Schierman. Taking into account prosecution and public defense costs, he says the trial cost $2.5 million--and that's not including the cost of appeals.
And yet, for all the money spent, Larranga says the "process has failed" on its own terms. In 30 years, just five people have been executed.
Many more have been sentenced to death--32 to be precise--but 17 of those sentences have been reversed on appeal and others have appeals pending.
Regala, too, makes an economic argument. She tells SW she knows the pain of losing someone to murder, in her case a a brother-in-law, a fact she is just now beginning to talk about. She says she understands wanting to ensure that killers never walk the streets again. But she says the state can "accomplish the same goal" a lot more cheaply by putting people in prison for life with the possibility of parole.
Such thinking is being heard more and more nationally. In an essay for Columbia Law School a few years back, law professor Jeffrey Fagan writes that states need to do some serious cost-benefit analysis.
Even in states where prosecutors infrequently seek the death penalty, the price of obtaining convictions and executions ranges from $2.5 million to $5 million per case (in current dollars), compared to less than $1 million for each killer sentenced to life without parole. These costs create clear public policy choices. If the state is going to spend $5 million on law enforcement over the next few decades, what is the best use of that money? Is it to buy two or three executions or, for example, to fund additional police detectives, prosecutors, and judges to arrest and incarcerate criminals who escape punishment because of insufficient law-enforcement resources?
Or perhaps, Larranga speculates, the state might decide to funnel the money spent on death penalty cases into an entirely different arena--education, for example. He refers to the state Supreme Court ruling just this month finding that the state has neglected its constitutional duty to fund education sufficiently.
Regala, speaking after the press conference and later committee hearing, admits she doesn't know whether her colleagues will buy the monetary argument. A similar bill failed last year, and the economy was no better then. But she notes that, nationally, the thinking is changing. In the past few years, New York, New Jersey, New Mexico and Illinois have rescinded the death penalty. And just last November, Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber enacted a moratorium on executions.

Motivation and Competition:
Their Role in Sports
Edward L. Deci
University of Rochester
Bradley C. Olson
Northern Michigan University
Millions of people throughout the world are highly involved in sports as athletes, coaches, or spectators. Children start at very young ages trying to hit a softball, catch a football, or stand up on ice skates. Recent figures indicate that over 20 million school-aged Americans play organized sports ( Magill, Ash, & Smoll, 1978). Furthermore, the percentage of girls involved in sports although still small, is steadily growing. Adults are no less involved in athletics, though their participation tends to be as coaches and spectators. Sports is one of the most frequent topics of conversation during coffee breaks and lunch hours, and games such as the Super Bowl have more television viewers than virtually any other programs.
Sports, according to Alderman ( 1974), are organized games that have become institutionalized. They have a set of rules and procedures that is essentially constant wherever they are played, and they have become part of our social history. Furthermore, although it is not implied by the definition, sports almost invariably involve competition; individuals or teams attempt to beat other individuals or teams. This competition may be either interactive (where there is a critical defensive, as well as an offensive, component) or noninteractive (involving only offense). Basketball and soccer are interactive competitions; figure skating and diving are noninteractive.
In terms of motivation, sports have all the necessary ingredients to be intrinsically motivating. The activities themselves are interesting and exciting (at least for some people); challenge and mastery are central components; and participation is, in most cases, voluntary. Certainly in sand-lot games and amateur athletics people seem to need no prods or incentives to

Do you make New Year's Resolutions? Pretty much every year I've made the same resolutions: to live a healthier life, to lose weight, and to get more exercise. In the past I did not feel very positively about my appearance; I felt self-conscious and uncomfortable in my own skin. It sometimes felt like I needed a radically different body type in order to fit in. But as time has gone by and I've gotten older, I've come to be more comfortable with myself and to make my New Year's resolution about the benefits a healthier lifestyle brings to me personally, not what other people may think about my shape and size. What are your New Year's Resolutions?
The Lone Star Reading List for 2010 was recently released and there are some great titles this year! I've read several of them and am looking forward to reading some more! The Lone Star Reading List promotes recreational reading for teens in 6th – 8th grades.

I don't get network or cable television at home and watch most of my favorite television shows online or on DVD, but whenever we visit family for the holidays it is always a perfect opportunity to catch up with shows I never otherwise get to watch (well, in addition to catching up with family, obviously). While Dad and my uncle watch football, I'll be huddled around another TV basking in the glow of holiday marathons, watching hours of consecutive episodes.

The films of Spike Lee. Ever since I saw 4 Little Girls, which chronicles the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963, the young lives lost in the tragedy, and the impact the attack had on the community and the nation, I've been a fan of Spike Lee. Controversial, hard-hitting, and thought-provoking, I count some of his movies as among my favorites.

This doesn't happen that often but it gave us quite a scare yesterday. I was sleeping next to my LO in his baby bed and he awoke suddenly coughing and it also sounded like he was choking a bit.
I immediately put him upright and my wife then held him. He wasn't crying and didn't seem like he was in pain. He sometimes does this when he's awake when he's feeding or when we burp him because it seems like there is too much fluid in his lungs/mouth (think I read that this may be the issue somewhere).
My wife thinks this happened because he didn't burp after his last feeding. He usually does but when he's tired he just goes to sleep.
Can anyone provide any insight into this?
Thanks in advance.

I think my little man is going to be walking any day now he has been cruising for awhile and now he is starting to let go here and there I think he will be walking by Christmas. Anyone else's little ones trying yet?
Any babies walking or just about to ?
Mother to DS 10/20/05 and DS 2/19/10
My daughter has been taking steps without holding on to anything this whole month and just last week she really started walking and now she is a full time walker =)
Have fun with it.....its so cool to watch!!!!

Too cute my ODS didnt walk until he was 13 months so its crazy to me how this one is getting around so soon
Mother to DS 10/20/05 and DS 2/19/10
Logan Christopher-February 15, 2010!!
Expecting # 2 on February 13, 2012!!
I've been thinking my little guy was about to start for a few months now. He pushes things around cruises along the couches and can take one or two steps then he gets a little wobbly so he lowers himself down to sit. It's so funny to watch, he moves in slow motion like he's unsure if he wants to sit or stay standing. (Hope that makes sense) I'm hoping he starts walking soon, DD was almost 14 months before she took her 1st step.
Single mommy to Kennedy(05/08) and Keegan(01/10)
Awe that's so exciting! Wyatt is an "end of the month"er (21st). He will kinda walk if he can hold on to just one hand, but no steps by himself yet. He is a cruising maniac though. He has started cruising on one thing, letting go, and leaning to the next thing but never fully takes a step. Babies are so freakin' neat!
EBF, ERF, CD, Delay/Select Vax, Crunchy, Co-sleeping, WAHM
Mine will be 10 months on Dec 10th and he is taking about 7 steps at a time! So exciting the first time he did I screamed and he fell Opps... Mine keeps trying to carry things around with him lol and then he falls over.
� ****Married to my bestfriend 1/29/11****
Mommy 2 2 boys Brayden 2/28/05 Dominic 2/10/10
�****Baby BOY # 3 due May 3, 2011 ****
Sonny is fully walking and he'll be 10 months on Wednesday! He tries to walk fast too like he wants to run. lol
I wasn't ready for it so soon though since my daughter didn't walk till about 13 months.
SAHM to 5th grader, Zoe Alexandria 06/28/04 and
Sonny Andrew, born 02/01/2010!!
I think mine is really close. She's trying to take steps now, but falls with the first one. She gets really brave when she's cruising and lets go a lot. I hope she's walking by Christmas! I would love to take her to the inlaws house for Christmas and let them see her walk!
My guy walks about 80% of the time now. The transition was quick, and I can't wait until it's all the time.

Anytime bro. Let me know if you are willing to deal any of your closers. Almost everyone on my team is available. Not sure why I keep losing to guys who arent even active. I thought I had a good team.
I appreciate it buddy
Thats cool. I just figured I would ask if you were interested before I deal him to somebody thats not a Braves fan.
no thanks, I'm happy with my team right now I don't wana give up multiple players
One of your better closers and another player.
Yes but it depends on what you want for him
Are you interested in Mccann?
It's all good on my end too. Thx
lol its cool man I was just joking
Ok here's the deal. I reposted a bunch of stuff that you posted about the players we drafted. When I posted the info on meeting the draft class of 2012 and the info about the UDFA's I just placed them in the draft section of the forum. I never read up on the rest of the forums spoting the other sections like the section specifically grading the Vikes Draft and the UDFA section.
Then I just copied and pasted the info on Jacoby Jones so people knew what player was being referenced. Go back and look at the multi quote and my statement. I refer to the player as him so I copied and pasted the info on Jones so people reading knew the player that was being discussed.
I'm sorry that you feel I'm purposely reposting the info that you post. I think you're one of the most informed posters on here and I would like to think that I do come up with some of my own posts and that I'm not just reposting the info you post.
Have a great day.

Hillsborough stadium disaster: New criminal probe ordered into 1989 tragedy
Britain's government and top judge advance the search for justice for the 96 Liverpool soccer fans who were crushed to death in 1989.

LONDON—After nearly a quarter of a century, the families of the victims of Britain's worst sports disaster are closer than ever in their campaign for the truth.
Britain's High Court and the government delivered twin decisions Wednesday that advance the relatives' search for justice in the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy in which 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death in a stadium in Sheffield.
A new criminal investigation was ordered by the Home Secretary, and about an hour later Britain's top judge overturned the original ruling that the 96 deaths at the FA Cup semifinal match were accidental. He ordered fresh inquests.
"I'd like a corporate manslaughter verdict in the inquest," said Anne Williams, whose 15-year-old son Kevin died at Hillsborough. "It's the least for what they have done."
Williams, who has been diagnosed with bowel cancer, said she has renewed hope she will live to see the full truth about her son's death established in court.
"I am glad we never gave up. It has been hard," Williams said. "God willing, I will be here. It has been a long wait to see justice."
In Britain, an inquest is held to determine the facts whenever someone dies unexpectedly, violently or in disputed circumstances. It does not determine criminal liability.
The wrongdoing and mistakes that led to the crush at Liverpool's match against Nottingham Forest were fully exposed only in September after an independent panel examined previously secret documents.
The papers uncovered a sophisticated attempt by police to shift the blame onto Liverpool fans watching from a standing-room-only section. Officers were instructed to change statements and insinuate that many fans were drunk and had histories of violence or criminality.
"I can't forgive them the extremes they went to," Williams said. "Why didn't they just give us the truth?"
Many of the fans died due to lack of attention from police and emergency services after about 2,000 supporters were herded by officers into caged-in enclosures that were already full.
British Prime Minister David Cameron apologized in September for errors by authorities. It now appears that the official cause of the fans' deaths might be changed on their death certificates.
"It is bittersweet," said Michelle Carlile, whose 19-year-old brother Paul died at Hillsborough. "We have known the truth for 23 years."
The Hillsborough disaster led to the introduction of all-seated stadiums for leading clubs in England.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Jim Harbaugh insists he will coachable when it comes to the tricks of driving the Indianapolis 500 pace car this weekend.
The San Francisco 49ers' coach will return to the city where he spent four years as a player to take part in the Indy 500 festivities. Track officials made the later-than-usual announcement that the former NFL quarterback would be behind the pace car wheel in a news release sent out early Wednesday morning.

Loan Overview

Loan Updates
María is 52 years old, is married and has 2 children. She has 20 years of experience in raising and selling livestock. Along with her husband she learned the profession due to a situation of unemployment and her low level of education. They found that raising and fattening young cows was their only source of income to keep the family sustained.
She travels in a truck from her home to the place where the livestock is bought, which is a small market an hour away. Later the cows are chosen and bought and they return to the house. The trip lasts one hour each way.
The loan she is requesting from Fundación Campo is to buy five young cows to graze them for a period and then sell them. With the investment, she is certain that she can continue with her business now that she will sell the animals and receive an income for her family. Her desire is to build a brick house to have more space and comfort, since she lives in an adobe house.

The new Aaron Chase model for 2004 tells me that Cannondale is watching the market and knows what the people want as usual. Looks like a reasonable components spec, and I imagine that if the bike catches on they'll start offering more freeride hardtails with higher-end parts specs as well. There's not any high-end gadgetry or anything on the bike, so there's nothing expensive to break. Mavic wheels (But Cannondale hubs ) Avid disc brakes, and 2.35 Maxxis tires. Seems like a solid entry into the freeride hardtail world.
I don't have a clue as to how much it's going to cost, however.

"My goal is always to fight with Jorge, Dani and Marc" - Valentino Rossi.
Hey! That is my goal too!
Race predictions....My Head says: 1.Marc 2.Dani 3.Jorge 4.Vale 5.CarlMy Heart says: 1.Dani 2.Vale 3.Carl..........oh and Marc crashes whipping out Jorge I'd love to hear Dynamo's predictions for the Aragon race hahaha but hey,hope to see a good show and at least four riders fighting for the lead all the way thru
Keep dreaming, old man.
TopDoggThats a good heart prediction and if that happen would be great in terms of championchip fight.. i would just change Dani for 1 place and put Rossi cause he need more points, the 2 place is good to Dani..lol I hope Yamaha have a good race, like they say we have to see the new potencial of Yamaha here after some upgrades... Aragon is a dificult track its esay to make mistakes will be very interesting to wach how Marquez can deal with this pressure of home race and the fact that Lorenzo come from 2 race Wins..
He either needs to change his riding style or his bike set up because something is very badly wrong!Jerry Burgess needs to be string up for this.
Many people made a blind prediction that rossi will never raise to the podium step after his ducati years...Rossi proved them wrong at the very start of the season at losail....So the basher's started saying...He can only fight for 3rd or 2nd position rossi once again shut the basher's mouth by winning the assen....When rossi finished behind cal...Basher's once again started to say that cal deserves a factory ride....once again rossi outperformed cal in the last 5 races....now by seeing misano basher's came to a conclusion that rossi never raise to the top step....I bet to everyone....No matter about practice or qualification....if rossi gets the right fighting setup for the race day....He will make it a supersunday...Vale Go Go Go!!!!
many peoples bashing him because they can't accept that too many peoples supporting him
I would love to see rossi win again but he is nearly 100 points off marquez...Has the goat had his best results ?I like many would hope not but he simply isnt there this seasonyou can see Jorge isnt threatened at all having the multiple world champion in his garage
It will be tough as Rossi is still not comfortable to push the bike at this point but his improved qualifying last race and his decent test results are encouraging. At this point the Championship is too far off but he has a chance at some podiums and even another win if everything works to his liking. I'd be happy if he at least gets a few podiums with a hint that he can hang with the Spanish boys.
Next year he'll have a year's worth of Data to reference. And a years worth of testing input. Jarvis has said publicly that Lorenzo can be unclear with feedback, which is why Yam had Rossi back. IMHO, braking issues on the Yam are down to Lorenzos unusual braking style and iffy testing input. Rossi will be much closer to the front next year. Trouble is, maybe Lorenzo will be as well!!!

Army officer couple share mutual retirement
July 16, 2014
By Dan O'Boyle, AMCOM Public Affairs

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. -- Thirteen days after the Army began its 240th year, Maj. Gen. Lynn Collyar, former commander, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, and his spouse, Col. Sarah Green, former staff judge advocate for the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command, began their transition to civilian life June 27 in Bob Jones auditorium, after a combined 65 years of service.
That transition was poignantly noted by Chaplain (Col.) John Shedd, USASMDC/ARSTRAT command chaplain.
"The Profession of Arms is marked by selfless service and sacrifice," Shedd said during the invocation. "Today, we honor that service and that sacrifice knowing that those two attributes, in these two Soldiers, will glow like embers in the years ahead."
Lt. Gen. Flora Darpino, judge advocate general, and Lt. Gen. Patricia McQuistion, Army Materiel Command deputy commander and Redstone Arsenal senior commander, hosted the ceremony for the couple.
"We are Soldiers for life, and this is a transition not a retirement," Darpino said. "Sarah is a phenomenal athlete and lawyer. She would never let you know that because she is so humble. She was going to do a three-year assignment, but that has turned into 30 years of service. She is an adaptable leader, which is just what the Army is looking for."
McQuistion and Collyar both shared assignments in the Pentagon as colonels.
"We are not saying goodbye, rather we are saying farewell, with some sadness, but with much gratitude, to two Soldiers who have served selflessly," McQuistion said. "Lynn never gave an order that he would not follow himself. He has made a positive, lasting difference everywhere he's served."
Green, a Memphis native, singled out her parents and siblings for instilling in her the teamwork that has carried over into her Army career.
"What you learn as a child stays with you on into life," Green said. "My whole life has been being part of a team, whether it be swimming, basketball or the Army. The best team to be part of is the U.S. Army. Thank you for letting me be one of your teammates."
Collyar, a Huntsville native, echoed the theme that threaded through the ceremony's remarks.
"You make great friends in the Army, and this is a good day," Collyar said. "I have had 35 years of having fun. When I talk to Pre-Command Course students, I tell them about the importance of mental, spiritual and physical well-being, emphasizing that when they take command, they have lost the right to have a bad day."
The former commander summed up with an historical observation.
"You know over the years, the Army has had a number of uniforms," Collyar said. "During my 35 years, I have been fortunate to have worn 50 percent of the Army's uniforms."
The couple, who both hold Army Parachutist badges and will reside in Huntsville, received a number of awards and recognitions from Army leaders, congressional, state and community leaders.

Clinical Trial VICCBREP12116
An Open-Label, Phase IA/IB/IIA Study of GDC-810 Single Agent or in Combination With Palbociclib and/or an LHRH Agonist in Women with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Estrogen Receptor Positive Breast Cancer
Principal Investigator(s)
- Protocol No. VICCBREP12116
- Open Date: 03/25/2013
- Staging: Phase I/II
- Age Group: Adults
- Scope: National
- Objective: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) and assess the safety of ARN-810 in postmenopausal women with locally advanced or metastatic ER+ (HER2-) breast cancer
- Disease Sites: Breast
- Therapies: Molecular Targeted Agents / Immunotherapy / Biologics
- Drugs: ARN-810
- Participating Institutions: Vanderbilt University
- National Clinical Trial ID: NCT01823835
- Secondary Protocol No: GO29642
The participants are being asked to take part in this study because the participants know or their doctor has confirmed that they are postmenopausal (they have stopped having their menstrual period) and have locally advanced or metastatic (type of breast cancer that has spread to other parts of your body) estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer which has come back or gotten worse after treatment with hormonal therapy. ARN-810 (also referred to in this form as the study drug) is an investigational new drug designed to block the female sex hormones which contribute to cancer progression. This will be the first time ARN-810 will be given to humans. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety (side effects) and look for any anti-cancer activity of ARN-810 in postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer. The safety of ARN-810 will be tested at different dose levels, after one dose, and after many doses. This study wants to find out what effects, good and/or bad, ARN-810 has on you and your breast cancer. The study will also test for the amount of ARN-810 in the participants- blood and in the tumor.
