- How to Read a Study Record
The study is being done to see if the combination of bendamustine and dexamethasone will help people with amyloidosis that has returned after standard treatment. Bendamustine is currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and is under clinical development in the United States for the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
Dexamethasone is a synthetic (man-made) steroid with powerful anti-inflammatory effects. It can also alter the body's immune response.

So we're all familiar with Rafael Nadal's ass-et - it's been well documented by those who shall remain nameless (fine - it's me.) But who would've known his brilliant backside would have a mind of its very own?
Here's proof: Rafa joined a number of other Majorcan athletes at a ceremony in Spain to honor their Olympic efforts. The world no. 1 accidentally dropped his cell phone and when he bent over to pick it up his ass-et made its move.
Let's just say Rafa finally got his unruly goods under control. But I bet he could give JJ a run for her money in the power shot department.

[1]Precocious puberty is when a person's sexual and physical traits develop and mature earlier than normal. Normal puberty typically begins between ages 10 and 14 for girls, and ages 12 and 16 for boys. The start of puberty depends on various factors such as family history, nutrition and gender. The cause of precocious puberty is not always known. Some cases of precocious puberty are due to conditions that cause changes in the body's release of hormones. Treatment involves medications that can stop the release of sexual hormones.

What a week that was in Dubai, huh? I can't remember the last time a tournament was caught up in so much controversy. But the organizers brought it upon themselves and hopefully have learned better from it. We are in the 21st century after all! Now it's the guys' turn over there, at least those who are showing up. (Hats off to you, A-Rod!) But like Rafa + Roger, VANtage Point is bailing on the tournament and looking elsewhere.
A Look Back: Venus Williams was back at in Dubai, picking up her 40th career crown by taking out surprise finalist Virginie Razzano. I have to tell you, I really didn't see V's win coming! One of these days I'll learn to always pick at least one of the Williams sisters when both of them are in the draw.
This Week's Spotlight: I'm actually giving you twice the Point this week, all for the low-low price of "FREE", by taking a look at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel, a co-ed event in sunny Acapulco (let's just call it my recession special!). This is the last stop on the early-season Latin American clay-court swing, and both the men's and women's draws have some pretty decent names amongst them. David Nalbandian + Gael Monfils are the top two seeds on the men's side, while the women's field has none other than Venus Williams leading the way.
Players to Watch: For the men's side, I'm going with the hottest player on the planet right now, Tommy Robredo, who is coming in with a 10-match winning streak. He could meet up with Juan Monaco in the second round, who he just squeaked out a win against in the finals in Buenos Aires. And, I'm announcing it here on the Point first: Watch out for Tommy at this year's French Open!
As for the women, I think you have to watch Venus. Like me, are you asking yourself "What is she doing here, flying from Dubai to Mexico, going from hard court to clay?" There's a lot going on here but I do hope she plays well, more so for the fans' sake. Watch her while you can, though, because if she does play, I think she'll fall to Lucie Safarova in the quarters.
The Final Fours: Nicolas Almagro over David Nalbandian and Tommy over Thomaz Belluci. For the women, I'm going with Gisela Dulko beating Lucie Safarova and Flavia Pennetta over Tathiana Garbin.
And the Winners Are: Tommy, who keeps it rollin' with his third title in a row, and Flavia, who owns this tournament.

My gut is telling me V is eyeing the French Open. After all, she did make the finals once and lost to little sis ReRe. I haven't looked at the draw yet, but if she does play the kid that took her out at AO, and wins, (who am I kiddin, that kid's backhand is to die for), then I will no doubt believe that she has a chance winning in France (again, who am I kiddin'). Just wishfull thinking.ReplyDelete
Hey Ash. I never understood why the Williams didn't have better French results. They're more athletic and powerful than anyone out there and should be able to hit through slow conditions.ReplyDelete
It is interesting to see Venus playing this week. I wonder if it's with an eye on the French, like you said, or an appearance money thing?
- SideSpinFebruary 23, 2009 at 3:14 PM
It definitely can't be the 'appearance money' thing. Since when had Vee cared much about tht?i mean with the small amount of tourneys she's played her entire career.U know they always aim for the bigger prices.ReplyDelete
I'm thinking Vee is trying to rake up some ranking points.She said it herself that she's working on her rankings and take a chance at toppling her lil sister from the coverted WTA penthouse.
I'm saying Vee could be the player to watch this season.I won't go so far as to say she'll win Roland Garros but saying she can NEVER win it will be ridiculous as well.
Goodluck Vee.I'll be cheering.
*imagines V winning RG*ReplyDelete
*smiles lots*
I love me some V too, always have always will.
I hope V doesnt injure herself by making this fast move to clay...very unlike her, but I think seeing Serena win the Oz Open, its giving her a little more drive this year to do better..not to mention she didnt play that much before wimbledon last year....I wish all the luck to her and I hope she can make her first roland garros win this year...I LOVE VEE-VEE!!!ReplyDelete
Hey, I just thought of something: Maybe Venus has a personal vendetta against Pennetta for those losses last year and is tracking her down to every tournament she plays! : )ReplyDelete
i so want v to win some clay tournys...ReplyDelete

|Sluggers go 2-2 in Yuma
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The Holyoke Sluggers 10-11-year-old baseball team returned to action Saturday, June 29 for a weekend tournament in Yuma.
Holyoke posted a 2-2 record in the tournament.
To get the tournament underway, Holyoke was on the winning end of a 20-3 blowout win over Wray.
Blake Mosenteen led the way at the plate with four singles. Caleb Deaver had three singles and Cody Hamilton chipped in with a pair of singles.
Deaver and Jesus Trejo were untouchable on the mound for the Sluggers, combining to strike out four, walk four, hit one batter and not give up a single hit in the game.
The Sluggers' next outing proved to be more difficult as they fell to the Sterling Zephyrs 7-4.
Xander Speicher picked up two singles in the game while Hamilton contributed a home run.
Mosenteen and Deaver both had stints on the mound, allowing four hits, four walks, one hit batter and striking out one batter.
Sunday began as Saturday did for the Sluggers, with a lopsided victory as they beat Fort Morgan 16-0 in three innings of play.
Hamilton accounted for three singles in the game while Deaver, Mosenteen and Trevor Peterson each had two singles as the Sluggers offensive abilities were on display in the win.
Peterson didn't allow a single hit on the mound for the Sluggers. In three innings of work, Peterson struck out five batters and gave up just two walks.
The most exciting game of the weekend was saved for last as Yuma just squeaked by with an 8-7 win over Holyoke.
After Yuma jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first two innings, Holyoke began chipping away at the lead. In the top of the fourth inning, the Sluggers put three runs on the board thanks to three singles.
Yuma responded in the bottom half of the inning with two runs to push the lead to 6-3.
In the top of the sixth and last inning, Hamilton hit a grand slam to right-center field to give Holyoke a 7-6 edge.
The lead wouldn't last as Yuma scored two more runs in the inning to win.
Hamilton finished the day with a single and a home run and Deaver and Mosenteen each added a pair of singles.
Trejo and Hamilton handled pitching responsibilities for the Sluggers. They combined to allow four hits, walk five, hit one batter and strike out six batters.
Sluggers coach Ron Lock noted that the team fought hard throughout the tournament.
"It was very pleasing to see how we responded to being down early to an older, more experienced Yuma team. It's a credit to the kids to come back and not give up," Lock said.

Museum Manger Display
(Le Mars) -- Jesus is the reason for the season, and the Plymouth County Historical Museum now has on display over 60 different nativity sets, all showing the birth of Christ in a manger. The various nativity sets have been donated by individuals, churches, and organizations and they are of all sizes, and come from all over the world. Delores Burkard oversees the nativity display. She says her late husband Ron used to collect different nativity scenes, or he would spend his time in their basement creating nativity sets. She says after his death, she decided to offer some of the collected nativity sets to the museum for display.
Listen to
In addition to the many nativity sets, part of the display also features various decorated Christmas trees. Burkard says her husband loved Christmas and would gather discarded Christmas trees.
Listen to
Burkard says she has loaned to the museum at least 15 different nativity sets, with plenty others stored at home in the attic. Several area churches have contributed to the display by donating nativity sets. One in particular came from the Le Mars Bible Church.
Listen to
Burkard says the museum manger display has grown each year it has been on display. The museum manager exhibit will continue to be on display through early January. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday between 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. and on Wednesday evenings until 8:00 p.m.
South Dakota Man Sentenced To 10 Years For Lawton Bank Robbery
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A South Dakota man has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for robbing banks in Iowa and Nebraska.
Karlis Baisden of Vermillion, S.D., received the prison term earlier this week in Sioux City. He's also been ordered to pay $19,000 in restitution.
The 25-year-old pleaded guilty last year to an attempted bank robbery in Lawton, Iowa, and robbing a bank in Fordyce, Neb.
Baisden was arrested in April 2011 for his connection to the Lawton bank robbery. Officials later seized handwritten letters from Baisden's home where he admitted to robbing the bank in Fordye
in December 2010. The letters also included his plans to rob the Lawton bank.
IDOT To Print Fewer Iowa Road Maps
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa transportation officials say they plan to print state road maps just once every two years.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports the state Department of Transportation will switch from annual printing to a two-year cycle in 2016.
The agency also plans to drop its usual print of 1.4 million maps to about 600,000 maps for the current budget year because of funding restraints.
The agency's chief says he asked Governor Terry Branstad on Thursday to increase map production budgeting in 2014 and 2015 to allow for more map printing before the switch.
The DOT also says it will go on a two-year printing cycle in 2016 for the agency's separate transportation map for bicyclists.
Council Bluffs Woman Encouraged Son To Fight
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say a Council Bluffs woman has been accused of encouraging her 13-year-old son to fight a schoolmate.
Thirty-one-year-old Alisha Hazen was arrested Thursday. She faces charges on felony child endangerment, serious assault and contributing to delinquency of a minor.
Police say they received complaints about a YouTube video that allegedly shows Hazen encouraging her son to punch a 12-year-old boy at Kreft Elementary School in November. Police say Hazen later
punched the other boy in the face after her son was struck in the face and head.
The newspaper reports the video has received several hundred views.
Hazen was released from jail after posting a $2,000 bond. Court records do not list an attorney.
Marion Man Sentenced
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - An eastern Iowa man already convicted on federal fraud charges has been sentenced to more than two years in prison for selling his pain pills for candy.
Donald Washburn of Marion was given the sentence earlier this week in Cedar Rapids. The time will run concurrently to his separate sentence of more than 11 years in prison on various
federal fraud charges.
Prosecutors say the 63-year-old sold his prescription oxycodone medication to other inmates for candy bars while he was held in the Linn County Jail awaiting sentencing on the investment fraud case.
Washburn was convicted in February of bilking investors out of more than $800,000 in phony gambling and mining ventures.

Images: Battle Boars sharpen tusks, prepare for EIB [Image 7 of 10]
Photo by Sgt. Richard Wrigley
A soldier for Company A, 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment "Battle Boars," 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, tries to get over a log as he negotiates an obstacle at the obstacle course here, Jan. 15. This was just one part of the day's challenge. The challenge consisted of quite a few different tasks performed at the squad level. Each squad within Company A first had to ruck-march out to the obstacle course. Then they had to navigate the entire obstacle coarse and also properly evaluate a casualty, successfully conduct radio operations and properly assemble and disassemble the M249 and M240 machine guns. After finishing all the tasks at the obstacle course, the squad then had to ruck-march back to their headquarters. However before starting on their way back, one of their fellow squad-members was identified as being a notional casualty, and the rest of the squad had to carry the individual and their gear. The event was designed to build cohesion, esprit de corps and physical fitness within the company. The challenge had the added benefit of helping the soldiers prepare for the Expert Infantry Badge competition, slated to take place this coming spring. The EIB is awarded to those individuals who prove that they are experts in their profession as infantrymen by completing a rigorous series of tasks designed to separate the experts from the lay infantrymen.

Several Men Arrested for DUIs While Driving Tractors
A DUI arrest, in the public's imagination, typically involves high speeds, reckless driving, and a dramatic confrontation with the police. And it almost certainly includes a car.
Not every DUI arrest, though, fits this mold. A recent spate of men being arrested for drunk driving while operating tractors shows that DUIs may occur in the strangest places.
The first noteworthy arrestee wasn't even driving a large tractor. Last week, a man in western Pennsylvania faced charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and assaulting a police officer after he was arrested while riding his lawn tractor.
According to the Beaver County Times, 44-year-old Mark Grove was allegedly driving his lawn tractor down the middle of a road on a Thursday afternoon, which prompted a call from a neighbor to 911 concerning an "out of control man."
When police arrived, Grove was carrying a coffee mug full of beer and he admitted to the police officers that he had been drinking.
After the police arrested Grove, he allegedly began kicking a police officer and head-butting the partition that separates residents of a squad car's backseat from the officers in the front of the car.
To the disappointment of newspaper readers across Pennsylvania, Grove declined to comment on his arrest. Court records also show he has yet to choose to hire a DUI lawyer.
Grove can take some solace in the fact that his arrest wasn't the only tractor-related DUI arrest in recent days.
Last week, police in Madison, Alabama, arrested 33-year-old Forrest Stewart for driving under the influence after the man was found driving a riding lawnmower through the downtown streets.
According to WHNT News, a police spokesman said driving any mechanical device under the influence of alcohol makes the driver eligible for a DUI arrest.
In the words of Madison Police Lieutenant John Stringer, "If you've been drinking to the point where you don't think you need to be driving your car, you probably don't need to be driving any vehicle."
Finally, thenorthwestern.com recently reported that a man in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, also unlawfully used his lawn tractor while drinking alcohol.
According to sources, a 73-year-old man was spotted by his neighbors driving his lawn tractor around town on several occasions while allegedly enjoying adult beverages.
After the report, police spotted the man driving his tractor under the influence of alcohol in the early afternoon. It was the man's fifth arrest for operating a motor vehicle while drunk.
The lesson, it seems, from these various anecdotes is that the combination of a motor and alcohol is bad, whatever the circumstances.
You may avoid the costs of a DUI by staying sober on the road, even if you're in an unconventional vehicle.

Wow, all I can say is Wow. I thought KJ could get us there and was being patient. NCAA tourney was a complete and total embarrasement.
Time to make a change, it can't get much worse.
For those that were like me and hanging out for hope, check the team standings at the end of this tourney and see how many finish above us and then check to see if you really don't think even with the hole Cael put us in we realistically shouldn't be better than that.
Pretty sad effort yesterday, depressing.
I think most Cyclone fans, like me, have just gotten to the point that they don't care about wrestling at all anymore.
I think that says everything you need to know about the current state of the wrestling program.... not good at all.
wow no idea it was ncaas for wrestling.
how did the team place in the standing?

I really like KJ, but the results are pretty bad so far. Really hope that next year we turn the corner and see a lot of improvement.
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
― Alan Wilson Watts
Yeah ISU wrestling has hit rock bottom. It's absolutely pathetic. Hopefully some of the recruits KJ has coming in like Meeks and McCaulley can help turn things around.

Season ticket holder for 15 years, have great seats huge wrestling fan. Just can't watch the train wreck any more.
It has gotten pretty bad. I'll admit my patience is waning. The question of course is, if you make a move to replace KJ, who do you replace him with? Will he be able to convince our recruits to stay? Does he have recruits at his current school that will follow him to ISU?
This is the first year since 2008 that ISU has not had a national champion, and the first year since 2003 that ISU has not had someone wrestling in a title match.

It hasn't been that long since Cael left us with little. You have to give him time to work. This year's recruiting class looks good. I can get encouragement from that.

Wow.. That looks exactly like what we were saying when we had McDermmot
It's not official unless there are a minimum of six (6) asterisks in thread title.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not dude?
Follow me unplugged on twitter @fatkid1974
I am not embarrased, but the result is unacceptable under any circumstance. ISU isn't the only school out there with guys hurt. The program needs a change.
So do these threads today mean that lagranqueso was right all along? He sure got **** on every time he posted.
Logranqueso posts on the Iowa site as well and seems to just want to stir trouble on sites like this. I don't think he's a fan of anything.
If your not frustrated with ISU wrestling after today, your not a fan.

Traversi Repeats The Story of Two Worlds (V15)
Carlo Traversi has repeated the Dave Graham testpiece The Story of Two Worlds (V15) at Cresciano, Switzerland.
Carlo says he was close to doing it already on the fourth day but that he then kept falling at the end for five days or so.
A couple of days ago, Traversi told UK Climbing he had "fallen off the end of The Story of Two Worlds probably 10 times now, total mental battle, not tired or anything, just keep making stupid mistakes."
So, what made the difference in the end?
"Rest and healing the splits in my right hand, but it could have happened anytime."
Carlo now has six days left in Switzerland and says he is very close on another potential V15 at Brione.
Original story by Bjorn Pohl at UKClimbing.com with additional reporting by Shelby Carpenter at Rock and Ice.

The Arctic is in danger. Its ice is retreating at an increasing speed, cleaning the path for greedy oil companies that see this catastrophe as a business opportunity. Native people traditional way of life and health will be at risk and wildlife are to be uselessly endangered in the name of a shortsighted idea of progress and growth. Canada is one of the Largest Arctic countries in the world, and as such it has a clear responsibility to take a precautionary approach for any new development. The Arctic campaign is a massive worldwide effort to ban all industrial extractive activities at the inhabitant area in the Arctic oceans Together we can save the Arctic.
Climate change and the threats of nuclear energy are real. That is why Greenpeace works to bring about a clean and just energy future. Tar sands and nuclear development plague the ecosystems and communities they occupy with safety and health risks. The Energy [R]evolution is a set of ready-to-implement solutions that lead away from the dangers of climate chaos and nuclear meltdown. It is a vision of the clean and just energy future for everyone on the planet.
With 80 per cent of the planet's ancient forests already lost or degraded, the need for increased protection of the world's remaining forests is more urgent than ever. Forests help stabilize the climate, sustain life, provide jobs, and are the source of culture for many Indigenous communities. Greenpeace opposes destructive and unsustainable development in the remaining ancient forests in Canada and globally. To effect positive change and put lasting solutions in place, we challenge the global marketplace, engage consumers, pressure governments and work with industry to protect the Boreal Forest, the Great Bear Rainforest and the Indonesian Rainforest.
Life on our blue planet depends on healthy oceans, but recent reports warn that sea life faces the next mass extinction. Next to climate change, overfishing is the single greatest threat to marine biodiversity. Industrial fishing has reduced populations of large, predatory fish like tuna, cod and sharks by about ninety per cent in the last fifty years. Growing demand for seafood, wasteful fishing practices and mismanaged fish stocks and aquaculture operations are leading to broken links in marine food chains in Canadian waters and worldwide. Urgent action is needed to protect marine life and allow recovery. Greenpeace works to relieve pressure on ocean ecosystems and to establish a network of no-take marine reserves–ocean parks–covering 40 per cent of the world's oceans.

Knoxville, TN (Sports Network) - Behind a career-high 32 points from Marshall
Henderson, the Ole Miss Rebels ran past the Tennessee Volunteers, 92-74, in
the SEC opener for both squads at Thompson-Boling Arena.
Henderson, the conference's leading scorer, shot 8-of-19 from the field and
13-of-14 from the foul line for Ole Miss (12-2, 1-0 SEC), which has won four
in a row. Murphy Holloway (15 points, 12 rebounds) and Reginald Buckner (13
points, 15 rebounds) both tallied double-doubles, while Jarvis Summers added
16 points.
For Tennessee (8-5, 0-1), Jordan McRae netted 26 points and Jarnell Stokes
recorded a double-double of his own with 15 points and 11 rebounds.
Neither team shot especially well in the first half. Ole Miss made good on
41.9 percent of its field goal attempts, while Tennessee shot 13-of-37 (.351).
The Rebels went into intermission with a 38-30 lead.
The Rebels' modest field goal percentage continued after halftime (.444), but
they were able to pull away by making 26-of-30 from the foul line, effectively
finishing off an outstanding 86.4 percent shooting night from the charity
stripe (38-of-44).
Ole Miss held a commanding 47-32 advantage on the glass and scored 25 second-
chance points.

Southridge Mall to lose Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body | The Des Moines Register | DesMoinesRegister.com
What's left, target?
I don't do signatures. Blondes, brunettes, and red heads are a different story.
4 malls is a lot for the size of des moines. 1 of them will have to close eventually.
Hooray for Metaphors!
SouthRidge needs to just shut down. They have been losing stores for years now.
didnt even know that dump still had stores in it.
The only thing I remember about that place was the big carousel and some big *** gumball machine.
I honestly thought it had closed down years ago.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
They need to bring back the 2 waterslides they use to have in there.
I thougt Harrison's was closing as well, maybe not. The place is an absolute dump, living in Indianola I go there every once in awhile to maybe fart around Target. Other than that, there's like a church and a bunch of weird stores, the rest seems to just be abandoned.

Save yourself and don't go. Unless you want to feel really bad for the mall or laugh. Old people use it for walking workouts in the morning.

Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
Its sad but inevitable. There are indeed too many malls. I grew up going to SR and worked there for a number of years so watching it go to hell just reminds me I'm getting old!

The circuit is renowned for being slow and full of bends. In 2003, the layout was modified and now measures 4381 metres; during the work, the main straight was extended to make overtaking easier. The succession of curves at the Hungaroring takes a lot out of the drivers physically.
The first curve is found at the end of the 788 metre main straight. It is a severe right hand hairpin that is followed by a semi-right that leads, in turn, to an easy-ish left curve. The asphalt here is bobbly and it is crucial to pick up enough pace in this section before turn 3. This section includes a brief uphill straight and then a very quick left hander, taken blind, where mistakes can easily be made.
The slow right hand turn 5 prepares the driver for the right-left chicane where it is important to ride the kerb going in. Getting the racing line spot on is fundamental at turns 8 and 9, sticking left coming out of turn 8 to gain speed for 9 as it is downhill from here into a short straight.
Turns 11 and 12 are separated by a straight while drivers will recall the second last curve for its uneven surface. The entry to the final curve is always gritty and from there it is onto the main straight. The surface is very slippery here and makes the blind exit even harder to judge.

Mears Sonoma Race Report
Posted by: lori on Jun 24, 2013
Tagged in: Untagged
GEICO driver's 16th place finish accounts for team's sixth top-20 effort of the 2013 season
Sonoma, CA (June 23, 2013) – The Sonoma Valley is known for great scenery, great wine and great racing. This weekend marked the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' first road course race of the 2013 season and allowed the sport to enjoy all three. Mears and his GEICO team have enjoyed a string of good runs and looked to Sonoma as another opportunity to solidify Germain Racing's consistency. They also received associate sponsorship from Caymus Vineyards, a prestigious California winery, which hosted a series of events for team personnel during the weekend.
Mears' arrival at Sonoma Raceway was quickly evident when he unloaded off of the truck and ended up third fastest in the first practice session and 12th quickest in Happy Hour. Qualifying found his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion a bit loose amid the hot temperatures and he landed 21st on Sunday's starting grid.
When Mears slid behind the wheel of his GEICO Ford on Sunday afternoon, gray skies prevailed and raindrops soon followed. The field would ultimately turn six laps prior to the green flag, which immediately called into question previously planned fuel strategies up and down pit road. Mears rolled off 21st and remained there until the event's first caution of the day on lap 24. He visited pit road and took on tires and fuel and restarted the race in time for the next yellow flag to wave. Given that he just visited pit road, crew chief Bootie Barker ordered Mears to stay out and instead gain much coveted track position. Barker's gamble paid off and, after restarting 9th on lap 33, Mears and his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion ran solidly in the top 10 for the next 15 laps.
On several occasion throughout the race, Barker advised Mears to save fuel, as the team found itself three laps short as the race began to wind down. A late-race caution allowed the GEICO team to top off fuel and let Mears go hard until the end. With just 20 laps remaining, he was faster than the leader and again turned a quicker time on lap 98. Taking the white flag in the 17th position, a hard charging Mears managed to hustle to a 16th place finish on the final lap. This is Germain Racing's sixth top 20 finish of the 2013 season and helps to continue their streak of strong results.
"It was a good weekend for us and it was nice to get a decent finish for GEICO and Caymus Vineyards," Mears said. "We needed a little more rear grip in the high-speed corners, but we ran strong in the top ten for a lot of the day and were able to continue our run of solid finishes. I'm proud of the guys on this Germain team and how hard they work each week. You're seeing more consistency because of their efforts."
Mears and the Germain team next descend upon the Bluegrass State.
Casey Mears and the #13 Valvoline Ford Fusion will hit the track at Kentucky Speedway for the weekend's opening practice session on Friday, June 28th, at 11:30 AM (EDT). Qualifying will follow at 5:10 PM (EDT).
The Quaker State 400 presented by Advance Auto Parts NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Saturday, June 29th, and it will be televised live on TNT beginning at 7:30 PM (EDT). The Performance Racing Network (PRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

Two Missouri Men Face Fines For Illegal Fishing
WAPELLO, Iowa (AP) - Iowa authorities say two Missouri men face fines and civil damages connected with the netting of shovelnose sturgeon on the Iowa side of the Mississippi River.
The Iowa Natural Resources Department says 43-year-old Robert Housman, of Sikeston, Mo., was charged with violating Iowa regulations on netting and possessing shovelnose sturgeon. The
state seeks nearly $3,700 in fines and $18,000 in damages from Housman.
The department says 39-year-old Michael Dye, of Charleston, Mo., faces the same two charges and another for lacking a commercial fishing license. The state seeks nearly $3,800 in fines and $18,000
in damages from Dye.
A public phone listing for Dye could not be found. Housman didn't immediately return a message Monday from The Associated Press. Online court records don't list the names of their attorneys.
Iowa DNR Says "Watch Out For Deer"
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - Iowa drivers need be on the lookout for deer as the harvest thins the corn fields and the mating season begins.
Iowa ranks second among the states in the number of car-deer crashes. Only West Virginia has more.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier says this is the time of year for drivers to be most watchful. State Farm, which tracks statistics on deer-related accidents, says November, October and
December, in that order, are the most common months for deer accidents.
Tom Litchfield of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources says corn crops make good cover for deer, and as the harvest progresses, the deer scatter. Deer are on the move mostly at dawn and dusk, but Litchfield says it could be anytime during the mating season.

Turning that trend around, the ENVE Classic 45 Carbon Clincher Wheelset has been specially designed to offer the best qualities of deep carbon rims -- that they're light, super aero, and fast -- while providing all the practical benefits of clinchers.
Though ENVE takes care to develop and test their clinchers and tubulars independently, both versions are lavished with the same amount of care and innovation. The 45 Carbon Clinchers are not the ginger-haired stepchild of the 45mm tubular, quite the contrary. They have a highly developed braking surface, and this is the key element that makes them so attractive. The poor overall braking properties of most carbon rims have been a huge and legitimate stumbling block for consumers. In reality, nobody wants to spend extra money to go faster only to find that you can't properly slow down when necessary. Seeing this conundrum, ENVE uses the latest aerospace grade high temperature resin and carbon fiber system so that the carbon brake surface can immediately respond to braking action and not build up excessive heat over time. So yeah, this is rocket science after all. It has largely been possible because ENVE has been aided by a grant from the state of Utah, and they've been given access to the test facilities at the Utah Center for Aeronautical Innovation. That's a mouthful, and it is as impressive and unusual as it sounds.
A lot of the hype surrounding ENVE Wheels relates as much to their products as it does to wheels from other manufacturers. Recognizing that the world does not need another line of average wheels, ENVE spends considerable time testing their carbon rims alongside rims from competing manufacturers. That, they believe, is the only reliable way to be sure that they're making improvements to what is already available. That's one of the reasons they have chosen their "go-to, jack of all trades" wheelset to have a 45mm depth. From their testing in the labs and on the real-world roads of mountainous Utah, they discovered that 45mm was an ideal rim depth for all-around road racing wheels. The aerodynamic benefits are there while avoiding serious drawbacks in crosswind situations. Versatility is in their DNA; dry or wet, windy or still, flat or climbing, the ENVE Classic 45 Carbon Clincher Wheelset is stable and ruthlessly efficient.
Weighing in with a feathery 440 gram rim, the ENVE Classic 45 Carbon Clincher Wheelset totals 1458 grams with the DT Swiss 240 hubs and Sapim CX Ray stainless steel spokes. They can be had with Shimano/SRAM or Campagnolo compatible freehub bodies. The wheels have 20 spokes in the front and 24 in the rear wheel. There is no rider weight limit. ENVE also recommends the use of their Grey Carbon Brake Pads to gain the best braking performance.
Note: The rims are covered under the 5 year manufacturer warranty. The hubs and spokes are not covered under the ENVE warranty. We are only able to ship to this product to addresses within the United States.

Performs as advertised!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These wheels are fast on flats and descents, handles corners well, climbs up hills with ease, and braking is superb even on downhill. Hubs are like butter with quick engagement. I'm so glad I pulled the trigger on these wheels because now they're sold out. These are truly the best all-around wheels I've ever owned!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
When you use these wheels you don't want to stop riding. Included - valve adapters, brake pads, skewers, and crazy speeds.
Can 25 width tires be run on these wheels?
You can certainly run 25mm tires on these! As in any case, I would normally recommend the Continental GP4000S II as they are the best tire money can buy for nearly any condition.
If there is anything else I can do for you, please feel free to contact me directly at email@example.com or at 801-736-6396 ext 4823.
Do these wheels come with Enve's brak pads, skewers and wheel bags?
Hello, thanks for the question. These come with Enve Brake Pad's and Skewers. A wheel bag is not included.
If you have any other questions or would like to place an order, please contact me directly at email@example.com.

Megan Nellis
My friends would say I...
- Drink way too much tea (borderline addict)
- Love to dance
- Can consume an unfathomable amount of vegetables (probably due to my vegan-ness)
- Am semi nomadic and love to learn about new cultures
- Can be quite clumsy and accident prone
- Will fearlessly committ 100% to something I'm passionate about
The last one is fully in action right now with Imagine Scholar - the organization I now utterly believe in, and stand behind with all my heart. I moved down to South Africa in April 2012 to start volunteering for them, and haven't looked back ever since.
My Personal Philosophy: If I had to live my life all over again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.
Life for me is an endless journey for exploration and learning. Every experience - good, bad, interesting, boring, easy, hard - presents us with an opportunity...an opportunity to learn and grow. A lot of people like to claim people (like us on CR) are trying to save the world, but I completely disagree. The world doesn't need saving, humanity does. Through empowering others and being open minded, we can all learn from one another and foster the change needed to shift the trajectory of humanity.
Imagine Scholar embodies everything I believe in. Through a 4 year afterschool, mentor-ship program for promising youth from the (disadvantaged) Nkomazi region, we're providing South Africa's future leaders with the tools they need to be the change they envision for their generation. We are a student centric program that empowers our students through creative exploration and deep discussion of an array of topics/issues.
Our students have faced hardship after hardship, yet they refuse to let those hurdles define them. Their committment to changing their future and their community's is unparalleled. I've never been more inspired and humbled in my life than by the Imagine Scholar students and their work. I feel so incredibly grateful to be a part of such a valuable program, and hope to give back to them as much as they've given me.
Please join me in pledging support for such a worthy and admirable program. The Imagine Scholar family will only create positive rippple effects wherever it goes - please help advocate for continuing their sphere of influence.
Many well wishes + Happy Crowd-rising!

V.S. North nipped by Roosevelt
Spartans' title chase ends with 26-21 defeat
1 2 Next page >
Down by 24 points to Roosevelt early in the second half of last Sunday's Nassau Conference IV football championship game at Hofstra's Shuart Stadium, Valley Stream North rallied, but ultimately came up short, 26-21.
Senior running back Billy Patsos sparked the fourth-seeded Spartans' comeback with three touchdowns, including scores of 68 and 74 yards on back-to-back offensive plays, but the defending champion Rough Riders got a key defensive stop late in the fourth quarter to hold on.
Junior Johnnie Akins was the workhorse for No. 3 Roosevelt, rushing for 170 yards and a touchdown on 41 carries. He was aided by senior Marquell Saunders, who scored twice, and junior Robert Hansen, who led the way for Akins and made tough carries in short-yardage situations.
Things looked bleak in the early going for North, but head coach Tom Schiavo never lost hope. "You never like to go down by that many points, but I never lost faith," he said. "I believed we were going to win until the buzzer went off."
After the Rough Riders marched downfield on their first possession to cap a 10-play, 58-yard drive with an Akins touchdown, Saunders put his speed on display with two long touchdowns of his own. In the second quarter, he fielded a punt along the right sideline, broke a tackle, and ran across the field and into the end zone, a 67-yard score. Then, early in the third quarter, he rushed for a 70-yard touchdown to put Roosevelt up 24-0.
On North's first play of the second half, senior quarterback Anthony Martelli found Patsos on a post pattern at midfield. Patsos caught the ball in stride and scampered into the end zone, the play covering 68 yards. After North's defense forced a punt on Roosevelt's ensuing possession, it didn't take long for Patsos to reach the end zone once more. He took a handoff on the first play of the drive, ran to his left and found daylight along the sideline for a 74-yard touchdown.
"Billy is as good as anyone in Nassau County," Schiavo said.
The Spartans defense found its groove in the second half, which included a big goal-line stand early in the fourth quarter. On fourth-and-goal from the 6-yard line, Saunders rushed to his right, but was quickly met by North senior James Capoziello and tackled for no gain.

This topic just frustrates the heck out of me. In my opinion, there is no point in having 'public land' if there is no 'right of way' to access it.
I understand laws are laws, but this makes it tough for out of staters or non-land owners.
Western land owners, consider yourselves lucky. The rest of us are very jealous.

(Hey people! DtL contributor Cristina is offering her take on this year's ladies' US Open draw. She also covered the Nike "Grapple in the Apple" event last night for DtL which I'll post about later. So in the meantime, heeere's Cristina!)
New York will once again be the tennis capital of the world when the US Open begins on Monday. It's an understatement to say the women's field is currently wide open. So far, we've had 3 Grand Slams with 3 different champions - Maria Sharapova in Australia, Ana Ivanovic at Roland Garros, and Venus Williams at Wimbledon. But with defending champion Justine Henin retired away and Maria out with a nagging shoulder injury, who will shine under the New York lights to claim the final Grand Slam of the season? Let's take a look:
DINARA SAFINA - It's only appropriate to start the women's US Open preview with the hottest player on the WTA Tour right now, Dinara Safina. Marat's little sis has been playing big since she reached the final at Roland Garros this year. Dinara also won the US Open Series with victories in LA + Montreal then topped it off with a silver medal at the Olympics. Will she be fresh enough for the glitz and glamour of the Big Apple? A win at the US Open would be a fairy tale ending for Dinara's amazing summer. If she continues with this surge, a Grand Slam title is within her grasp.
ANA IVANOVIC - Reigning world no. 1 Ana Ivanovic is looking to improve her performance in New York where she has never passed the fourth round. The sensational Serb has had lackluster results since her exhilarating French Open win including a third round thrashing by Zheng Jie and an early exit at the Rogers Cup, and a withdrawal from Beijing. Ana seems hungry to get back her winning ways so if the thumb holds up and her forehand regains its stellar form, she'll be a threat for her first US Open win.
JELENA JANKOVIC - Aside from being excited to debut a new outfit at this year's US Open, Jelena Jankovic is anxious to reach her first Grand Slam final. Her short, but drama-filled stint as the top-ranked lady baller caused quite a stir because many felt she didn't deserve it. The injury-prone second seed reached the quarterfinals in 2007 but she'll have to do better if she wants to silence her critics.
SERENA WILLIAMS - Heart-inked Serena Williams is looking for her first Grand Slam since 2007 when she fought her way to the Aussie Open title. She had a great start to the year winning Tier 1's in Miami and Charleston and then reaching the Wimbledon final. Unfortunately the 8-time Grand Slammer suffered an injury to her shaky knee forcing her to withdraw from Stanford and LA. She turned it around in Beijing, though, partnering with sister Venus and grabbing doubles gold. Will this win give ReRe enough momentum to drive the 2-time champ to her third US Open title?
VENUS WILLIAMS - Wimbledon champ Venus Williams is looking for her first US Open championship since 2001. With a tumultuous year so far (aside from her fifth win at The All-England Club), Venus isn't a shoe in for this year's Open, but as they say, never count out a Williams sister in any Grand Slam event.
THE RUSSIANS - The Russians made an impressive run at the Olympics, but will they play as well in New York? Last year's finalist Svetlana Kuznetsova has had a disappointing 2008 so far with no tour titles on hand. Can she repeat her 2004 US Open victory? Gold medal winner Elena Dementieva has made progress through each Grand Slam tourney this year – the fourth round in Australia, the quarters at the French Open, and the semis at Wimbledon.
With so many talented players in the WTA Tour it's hard to predict a clear-cut winner. The sudden retirement of Justine Henin has challenged the ladies to fill some pretty big shoes. Every Grand Slam offers its own set of surprises, but tennis fans should expect the majority of the top players to outshine the rest. We'll find out in two weeks which woman ends her summer with a new US Open trophy.
So who are your contenders for the women's US Open title? Do tell!

US OPEN 2008 PREVIEW: The Ladies
10 comments:
wow. i am really excited for the us open. i'll be there on the 30th.ReplyDelete
in the top quarter, i like safina's chances of making it to the semis. she really has been great all summer and hopefully she is rewarded here. ivanovic better watch out.
in the 2nd quarter, i'm picking serena. i pick her for everything b/c i'm slightly obsessed with her, but she's going to have a great match with venus if they both make it to the quarters. meanwhile, venus needs to watch out for radwanska.
the 3rd quarters is wide open. it looks to be a dream draw for dementieva. a possible 3rd round match of chakvetadze and na li. i take li on that match and see dementieva reaching the semifinals.
in the bottom quarter, i want lindsay to power her way through the draw but i'm a little consider with her physical condition and injuries. she's got a tough first round match against wozniak, but being in the olympic spirit, i'm rooting for the home team and for lindsay to make it to the semifinals. (jankovic who?)
in the semis i'd like to see serena d. safina and lindsay d. dementieva making an all-american final of the grand slam champs with serena coming out on top.
and that is my dream draw. :)
ana vs Dementiev...Ana wins!ReplyDelete
I dont think the russians are going to be much of a threat, even with them have such a good year...I am hoping serena gets back on form to take it, and I can see jelena making it to the final too...I am a williams fan, so I gotta root for serena..(she's my favorite of the two)ReplyDelete

i'm always wrong at predicting these things but it would be nice to see elena break through and win a grand slam although i also love serena and would be happy to see her get #9 and tie monica... :)
i consider myself to be pretty bad at predicting slams too. ah well, it's still fun. at the end, we'll compare our draws and see.ReplyDelete

Washington, DC (written by Bethany Crudele/MilitaryTimes) -- President Obama on Wednesday nominated Marine Gen. John Allen, as the next supreme allied commander Europe and commander of U.S. European Command, where he will succeed Navy Adm. Jim Stavridis. Allen now serves as commander of U.S. Forces and NATO International Security Assistances Forces in Afghanistan.
As expected, the president also nominated Marine Corps Assistant Commandant Gen. Joseph Dunford to succeed Allen in Afghanistan.
Both nominations must be confirmed by the Senate to take effect.
"For more than a year, General Allen has served with distinction ... seeing us through a critical period in our military efforts and in Afghanistan's transition," the president said in a statement. "I have personally relied on his counsel and am grateful for his devotion to our national security and to the safety of the men and women with whom he serves.
"Under General Allen's command, we have made important progress towards our core goal of defeating al Qaida and ensuring they can never return to a sovereign Afghanistan. Working with our Afghan partners and international civilians, the forces under General Allen's command have moved forward with a transition to Afghan Security Forces, who will take the lead for security across the country next year."
Obama said "very difficult work remains ahead in Afghanistan," and that he has full confidence in Dunford's "extensive experience, strategic leadership and vision."
"If confirmed by the Senate, he will lead our forces through key milestones in our effort that will allow us to bring the war to a close responsibly as Afghanistan takes full responsibility for its security."
At a conference of NATO defense ministers in Brussels earlier on Wednesday, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta made official his long-rumored endorsement of Dunford to command coalition forces in Afghanistan, calling him "an exceptionally gifted strategic leader."
"He is combat-tested. He believes in ISAF, and if confirmed, will be an extraordinary leader of it," Panetta said.
If confirmed, Dunford would become the fifth ISAF commander in four years. He would be responsible for maintaining current operations through the complete transition to Afghan forces and overseeing the withdrawal of U.S. combat forces by 2014.
Dunford, a career infantry officer, is known as "Fighting Joe" for leading Regimental Combat Team 5 during the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003. He became the Corps' second highest ranking officer in 2010. He previously served a dual tour leading I Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Pendleton, Calif., and Marine Corps Forces Central Command in Tampa, Fla.
When asked about the possible nomination in August, Commandant Gen. Jim Amos described Dunford as "one of the finest officers who [has] ever worn this cloth."
Although Dunford has not served a combat tour in Afghanistan, he tracked combat operations while commanding MARCENT and is described by colleagues as intelligent, decisive and someone who can get the job done.
According to Foreign Policy blog, sources have named Lt. Gen. George Flynn, director of plans for the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Lt. Gen. John Paxton, commander of U.S. Marine Forces Command; and Lt. Gen. Robert Schmidle, deputy commandant for aviation as possible contenders to replace Dunford.
Panetta also spoke about Allen's nomination, which NATO approved Wednesday morning.
"General Allen is well-known to all of you, and if confirmed, his experience as [ISAF commander] will be instrumental in his broader role and in leading NATO's oversight of the mission in Afghanistan," Panetta said.
Panetta stressed the importance of continuing to build relationships with Afghan forces, and urged NATO allies to help eliminate the shortfall of security assistance teams and to assist in training the Afghans.
"The U.S. has filled a disproportionate number of these teams in recent years, and I ask for your help to fill the gap," Panetta said. The addition of 58 teams would bring the total number of security assistance teams up to 465.
"We can only deny the enemy its objective by countering these attacks with all of our strength, and fortifying our resolve with the signs of our progress," Panetta said.

Nice light
Does what it is intended to do. It is by no means bright, but it keeps me seen.
CatEye TL Headlight
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Not the most highpowered headlight but this is perfect for my towny bike- it's more for other things not hitting me than for me to see.

Take Heart is an idiom that translates, "to be confident or courageous." Opening Take Heart has been a dream I have had for many years and pursuing this dream has taken courage on my part, as most worthwhile things do. Take Heart is a boutique located in thriving East Austin. The shop represents my love of well designed modern, handmade, and vintage objects for the home and person. We strive to offer offer a thoughtfully edited selection of home decor, accessories, gifts, and art that are accessible to all. The shop showcases designers, artists, and artisans from far and near, giving customers the opportunity to touch and feel hard to find products, that are more commonly found on specialty retail websites. Our hope is that Take Heart will inspire creativity and invite one to take time to appreciate life's beautiful details. With much excitement, we look forward to seeing you at Take Heart, where you will always find objects to inspire, encourage, and remember.
With the holiday season here, you better believe we're gonna be keeping our eye out for stores, near and far, that will carry gifts we'll want to give to loved ones. A new clean, adorable and warm shop for gifts and more has opened up on the East Side of Austin, and we're mega excited.
Opened by Nina Burke Gordon just a few months ago, Take Heart is poised to become a favorite spot for Austinites looking for thoughtful gifts, home decor and items for the person that are a heady mix of vintage, modern, handmade, local and more.
Housed in a gorgeous retail space in the modern building built by local architects Bercy Chen, the shop isn't just filled with lovely items, it's lovely, too. The shelving and storage units for Take Heart were built by Nina's husband, local Austin woodworker Brian David Johnson, who also has some items in the shop.
You'll find everything from great tabletop decor to cards, soaps, jewelry, vases and more, all curated by Nina's sharp design eye. All together the place is refreshing, sweet, subtle and enjoyable.
