THIS section, a long rectangular area extending through the middle of the borough, embraces several of Brooklyn's oldest and choicest residential sectors, virtually untouched by commerce or industry. The borough's domestic character is exemplified here by the Victorian mansions in Bedford, modern apartment dwellings ringing Prospect Park, old houses in Flatbush, newer homes in Midwood, and the cottages and bungalows of Sheepshead Bay.
BEDFORD, in the mauve decade, was one of Brooklyn's most fashionable neighborhoods. Except for one or two quiet, less crowded streets on "The Hill" around Washington Avenue and Ryerson Street, and the newer section around Eastern Parkway, few traces of its past elegance survive. The brownstones of its heyday, faded and neglected for the most part, are now crowded by frame houses, small industrial establishments, and warehouses. The hamlet of Bedford was settled by the Dutch in 1662.

The six-story main building, erected in 1887 from plans by William Wingren, is in the Romanesque Revival style; Memorial Hall, designed by John Mead Howells, follows a simplified Byzantine style.

In Harm's Way: Evacuating Employees from the Middle East
Wade, Jared, Risk Management
The unrest occurring throughout the Middle East transformed business centers into virtual war zones. A company can do nothing to quell a revolution, but when the going gets tough, it's time for employees to get going--out of the country. For times like these, companies need a plan to evacuate workers before the violence ever begins.
No one predicted the revolutions that have erupted throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa. The full extent of the social and political transformations will only become evident in the years--and decades--to come, but the immediate fallout for foreign nationals in these countries was obvious: stable cities became danger zones.
In January, widespread protests in Egypt, for example, forced many companies, universities and nonprofits with personnel in Cairo to determine if the situation had become too treacherous for their workers. The magnitude of the unrest even surprised Charlie LeBlanc, who, as president of security evacuation provider ASI Group, makes his living by staying abreast of breaking developments across the globe. "If anyone says they saw this coming, they're lying," said LeBlanc.
Having traveled to Egypt many times, he knew there were many foreign nationals living and working there who would need assistance when the riots broke out. He did not know there were close to 80,000 expats, however. And he never imagined there would be an event so widespread that so many would need his company's advice at once. "It seemed like all 80,000 were calling at the same time," said LeBlanc. He expects that this will be the largest event of this type that he will ever come across. "We can't envision a larger-scope scenario," said LeBlanc. "You know, short of Armageddon."
LeBlanc's company is who you want to call if you are trapped in such a situation. Through a 2008 acquisition, his ASI Group, which was founded in 1989 as Air Security International, became part of MEDEX, a travel assistance and international medical insurance provider that works with insurers including Travelers and Chubb.
Immediately following the unrest in Egypt, the ASI team had some 30 corporate clients seeking consultation on how to keep their employees safe. All told, the company directly chartered more than 800 people out of Egypt in short order.
There were many others who wanted advice but wound up on State Department flights. ASI provided them with information on where they needed to go and how to sign up to get evacuated, but they made final arrangements on their own. LeBlanc does not know how many cases of indirect assistance his firm was involved in. "We stopped even counting," he said.
For most people, all they wanted was a way out of the country. "When you're talking to these folks," said LeBlanc, "they're frustrated, they're upset, they're discouraged and some of them ... are worried that they're not going to be able to get off the ground."
But the decision on when to leave ultimately comes down to organizational and personal risk appetite. Those in the oil and gas industry, for instance, may have a vested interest in toughing it out longer then, say, an agricultural researcher for a nonprofit. And while most companies will adopt a blanket determination on when to pull out, the decision may be more personal in other cases. "On the scholastic side, it gets down to the individual," said LeBlanc. "We had a lot of students in Egypt that didn't want to leave. They felt safe. They're young. We've all been there where we feel...that this is literally history in the making and we don't want to leave."
While some choose to live more dangerously, Dominick Zenzola, vice president and travel accident expert at Chubb Group of Insurance Companies, recommends that all organizations have insurance coverage that includes access to a travel assistance provider. When employee lives are at stake, you would rather have something you don't need than need something you don't have. …

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS: A Tiger in a Sea of Pussy Cats; Trinidad and Tobago Bids Goodbye to Oil, Hello to Gas
By LARRY ROHTER
Published: September 4, 1998
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago— The flights coming in from the United States are so jam-packed with oil and chemical company executives hungry for a piece of the action here that reservations are hard to come by. Almost weekly, it seems, the Government has some natural gas find or new factory project at the booming Point Lisas Industrial Estate to announce.
While much of the rest of the English-speaking Caribbean worries about making ends meet, this twin-island nation, almost evenly divided between citizens of African and Indian descent, is experiencing a burst of investment and growth. Thanks to the belated realization that its substantial natural gas reserves may prove to be even more valuable than its oil, Trinidad is rapidly emerging as the region's foremost economic success story.
Since the beginning of the boom less than five years ago, the 50 American companies now operating here have invested more than $4 billion, a remarkable figure in a country with only 1.3 million people. Seeking to take advantage of cheap and abundant energy supplies, petroleum, chemical and steel companies from Britain, Canada, Germany, India, Norway and Spain are also flocking here.
In the process, ''this country is becoming industrialized'' and turning into a Caribbean tiger, said Krishna Persad, a leading Trinidadian oil and gas industry consultant. ''If only 50 percent of what is being talked about actually comes to pass, you're going to be seeing a Singapore in the Western Hemisphere,'' he predicted.
But as Government officials here acknowledge, they must also resist the temptation to spend too much too soon and risk overheating the economy. Administering a bonanza, while more pleasant than coping with scarcity, offers hazards of its own. For confirmation of that, Trinidad need only look at its own recent past, or neighboring Venezuela, where billions of dollars in oil profits are said to have been squandered or pilfered.
At the moment, though, ''This country is booming, going gangbusters, and the boom is nowhere near peaking,'' a diplomat here exulted. ''With all the recent finds and the plants coming on line, you're going to see a substantial level of activity for the next several years.''
In 1997, Trinidad's economy grew by 4 percent, compared with a 1.5 percent contraction in 1993; over the same period, inflation has dropped to 3.8 percent from 13 percent. Income per capita, adjusted for inflation, has risen to $4,290 from $3,920.
Fueling the boom are Trinidad's proven natural gas reserves of more than 21 trillion cubic feet, up from 8.9 trillion just five years ago. David Wight, president of the Amoco Energy Company of Trinidad and Tobago, the local subsidiary of the American oil and gas giant, said that figure was likely to double yet again, while Mr. Persad predicted reserves could eventually reach 75 trillion cubic feet.
''Whatever the numbers turn out to be, they are big, comparable to anywhere in the world,'' Mr. Wight said. ''Trinidad has already become a very big and active player, both in terms of natural gas resources and the downstream side, offering development opportunities here in-country and also significant export opportunities.''
The natural gas discoveries have coincided with a downturn in oil production as Trinidad's proven crude reserves dwindle. Output has dropped from a peak of 225,000 barrels a day in the late 1970's, when oil accounted for 80 percent of the country's export income, to 130,000 barrels; at current rates of production, existing reserves will be exhausted in little more than a decade.
But with oil prices in decline and now ''at their lowest level in a dozen years,'' explained Finbar Gangar, Minister of Energy and Energy Industries, ''we have consciously diversified our economy away from oil.'' The basic strategy of the Government of Prime Minister Basdeo Panday, which took power late in 1995, has been ''to widen and deepen our industrialization thrust,'' Mr. Gangar said.
As a result, this Delaware-sized nation at the southeastern tip of the Caribbean, just seven miles off the coast of Venezuela, is already the second-largest exporter of ammonia and methanol in the world. By the end of next year, when the last of five plants built here during the last five years comes on stream, it is expected to become the largest exporter of both those key industrial products.
''If you stand back and look at the broad picture, you can identify four major industrial thrusts,'' Mr. Persad said. ''Gas is being used as raw material for petrochemicals, as fuel for steel plants, as fuel for aluminum projects, and is being liquefied and exported.''
In addition to the methanol and ammonia complexes, plants that will produce urea, ethylene, fertilizers and other industrial chemicals are completed or under construction, many of them at the Point Lisas Industrial Estate on the coast south of here. The Indian steel company Ispat already has one plant here and has committed to another, Government officials said. Negotiations are under way with Brazilian interests to refine iron ore mined in the Amazon and with other foreign investors interested in building an aluminum smelter here.

Heh, I did that on purpose. You should rely on what your event log is
telling you the problem is. That said, the keys I had to open
permissions on were:
And any sub-entries that have permissions problems (I believe there
were two under IconHandler that needed fixing).
I also did what you mention, opened permisions on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,
maybe thats what fixed my other apps? When I did that though I
noticed it did not cascade down to subkeys. In any event some
combination of these changes fixed the problem for me for all apps.

Glaucoma: The 'Silent Thief' Begins to Tell Its Secrets »

With some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, there exists the potential for increased bleeding time due to interference with thrombocyte aggregation. There have been reports that OCUFEN® ophthalmic solution may cause increased bleeding of ocular tissues (including hyphemas) in conjunction with ocular surgery.
There is the potential for cross-sensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Therefore, caution should be used when treating individuals who have previously exhibited sensitivities to these drugs.
Topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may slow or delay healing. Topical corticosteroids are also known to slow or delay healing. Concomitant use of topical NSAIDs and topical steroids may increase the potential for healing problems.
It is recommended that OCUFEN® ophthalmic solution be used with caution in surgical patients with known bleeding tendencies or who are receiving other medications which may prolong bleeding time.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Long-term studies in mice and/or rats have shown no evidence of carcinogenicity with flurbiprofen. Long-term mutagenicity studies in animals have not been performed.
Pregnancy Category C
Flurbiprofen has been shown to be embryocidal, delay parturition, prolong gestation, reduce weight, and/or slightly retard growth of fetuses when given to rats in daily oral doses of 0.4 mg/kg (approximately 300 times the human daily topical dose) and above.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. OCUFEN® ophthalmic solution should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from flurbiprofen sodium, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
Geriatric Use
No overall differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between elderly and younger patients.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

"Viking Sweden" Top 5 Page for this destination Sweden Travelogue by Sjalen
Sweden Travel Guide: 12,113 reviews and 30,190 photos
The best place in Sweden if you are interested in vikings and who they were. The old viking settlement at Birka is very alive since archaeological diggings still take place every year during the summer months with new finds. The people who work with those are your guides on tours around the islands (in Swedish, English and sometimes German) with various themes. The price for the tour is included in the ticket. Most tours pass the fields with viking burial mounds and it feels a bit like walking in an outdoor church if you see what I mean.
Summertime you get there with a boat from the city centre (a scenic and guided 1 1/2 hour trip) and once there, you will find a museum with various exhibitions (starting point for tours) and shop, and a cafeteria by the jetty. If the weather is nice you can sunbathe on the tiny beach too. Just remember what time the boat leaves...
when being invaded (the most probable reason), people settled in nearby Sigtuna which is today Sweden's oldest existing town. There are runestones everywhere in the streets still today and the town museum has some of the viking gems you have seen in books. It is also a nice enough town to stroll in as you can see on my VT page...
Sweden's biggest burial mound can be found just outside Västerås (see page). Here, it shares the site with several smaller mounds, five ship settings and a runestone! All so impressive that it is on the European Council's Viking Heritage Trail with the fifty most important viking sites in the world.
Foteviken is a unique place in viking Scandinavia as it isn't a museum or heritage place (like Hedeby, Birka, Trelleborg or Borg) but rather a village where people live viking life during summer and where you are given guided tours by the inhabitants and can then wander around people's houses as you wish, looking at the great hall, the king's house, the catapult or the ship and many other things. Should you wish to live viking life yourself, that's no problem. Just contact them about joining the "SVEG" society, don your viking robe and live a few weeks with archery, handicrafts, house building and barbecuing evenings, sometimes even parties in the "Ting Hall". If that is too much for you, just rent a cottage outside the village and explore both viking life and the surrounding countryside.
If you want to see some of the oldest tapestries in western Europe, go to Östersund (see page) and discover the magnificent Överhogdal viking tapestries at the Jamtli museum. Whilst there, you can also take time to see the northernmost runestone in Scandinavia, just across the bridge to Frösön island.
R?k has to be mentioned as it is the most famous rune stone in Sweden with its own little exhibition centre since 1991. You will find it outside ?desh?g (E4 between J?nk?ping and Link?ping) very close to where it was thought to have stood when created. It is an unusual stone in that it has an extreme amount of runes on both sides! Varin, the man who created it, must have been a wealthy and influential man.
The island in the Baltic Sea has many viking treasures. Starting at the History & Archaeology museum in Visby with its unique Gotland rune stones is a good idea.
The most famous burial site in Sweden with its three huge mounds and several smaller. Old Uppsala was the centre for viking activity and Swedish history for a long time. You can visit the burial mounds and the adjacent museum and also go on guided tours in English in summer. A very fascinating place which you can read more about on my Uppsala page.

Let me say that I LOVE black Dommes. Glad there is some boot licking in this one for a change (enough bare feet already). But here's a question: Why does the Domme have to hold her leg up like that just to get her boot licked instead of having the sub go down?

WASHOUGAL — Two years ago, Ryan Villopoto missed the Washougal MX National with a torn knee ligament.
A year ago, Villopoto did show up at Washougal, but only as an expert spectator. He could not ride, his season wiped out because of a broken leg.
Saturday, Washington's pride and joy on the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship series is in Clark County to compete. He is focused on staying near the top of the points race, and he would love to win an overall in his home state. For him and his fans.
"Whenever I come home, whether it's for supercross (in Seattle) or motocross (Washougal), there are a lot of fans. They saw me grow up in racing. They're always pumped," said Villopoto, a 22-year-old from Poulsbo who rides for Monster Energy Kawasaki.
Villopoto, though, has never won an overall title at Washougal.
"Hopefully we can do it this weekend," he said. "To win in front of your home crowd is always going to be cool, more special than a normal national."
The Washougal MX National, the eighth round of the 12-stop series, begins at 1 p.m. today with the first moto of the 450 Class. The 250 Class follows, and then the two second motos will conclude the day. The overall winner is the rider who has the two best combined finishes.
The athletes also are chasing the series points championship. And unlike most recent years, when the first-place rider has had a huge lead by the time the tour hits Washougal, there really is a race this season. Seven points separate the top three in the 450 Class.
Chad Reed, who somehow managed to finish fifth last week after a terrifying fall, has 300 points through the first seven events. Villopoto, the only rider on the series to finish in the top three at all seven stops, is second at 294. And Ryan Dungey, the defending champion at Washougal, is third at 293.
To motocross fans, the points battle is a major topic of discussion. It is rarely this close this deep into the season.
Villopoto said the riders, though, barely think about the season championship. Not yet, anyway. They know where they stand, and they know they have to keep placing high to have a chance. But they cannot allow themselves to start thinking about the trophy.
"There are so many races left," Villopoto said, noting there are two motos for every stop on the tour. "There are still a lot of points to be made or lost."
Villopoto knows about championships. This past winter, he won the supercross title. He also has 250 Class season titles in motocross and supercross.
"Even in supercross, you really don't start looking at the standings until about two races to go," Villopoto said.
Motocross is just as wild.
"It just takes one mistake to lose a whole bunch of points," he said.
Take last week at Spring Creek in Millville, Minn., for example. Reed had a 21-point lead over Villopoto after winning the first moto. Reed wiped out in the second moto and made a big recovery to finish 14th in the moto, but he saw his lead shrink.
One moto. Fifteen points. Just like that.
After Washougal, there will be eight motos left in the season.
Dungey ended up winning at Spring Creek, his second overall win of the year. Villopoto's lone overall win this outdoor season was round No. 3, at High Point in Pennsylvania. The other four titles have gone Reed's way.
Just being in a battle for a second championship this year is worthy of celebration for Villopoto. After missing so much time in 2009 and 2010, he won six of the 17 supercross events and held off Reed for the season title by four points. Dungey was third, just 10 points off the pace.
"To win a championship, whether it's supercross or motocross, nothing bigger or more to do than that," Villopoto said. "To finally get that out of the way (in the 450 Class) was nice."
Supercross might be more of a mainstream sport, with its events in stadiums in large cities, but motocross has a special place in the riders' hearts. Because he has missed the past two outdoor seasons, Villopoto said it would mean a lot to him to claim a summer championship.
"The injuries are part of the sport," he said. "We have been dealing with them since we began riding."
While it is frustrating to be away from the track, Villopoto did say there was at least one benefit. A break from racing or training every day gives time for not only the injury to heal but for the whole the body to rest, as well.
It seems to have worked for Villopoto, who became a champion again in the winter and is looking for another title this summer. A win in his home state today would go a long way toward that goal.

Jamie McMurray captures the Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte
Jamie McMurray was able to pull away from Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and the rest of the field in the final 10-lap segment to score his first win in the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race.
With a fast car and a fast pit crew, Jamie McMurray was able to hold off Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick to win his first NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race and the $1 million prize to go along with it.
McMurray was helped to the front of the field in part thanks to great pit calls from crew chief Keith Rodden. Taking two tires after the third segment allowed McMurray to get to the front of the field, setting him up for a run to the finish in the final two segments.
Restarting the final segment of the night in the second spot, McMurray and Edwards battled hard for the lead right off the bat, neither giving an inch. Running on the high side of the track, McMurray was able to get a strong run off Turn 2 to power out front and take the lead as Edwards fell back behind him.
As Harvick raced hard with Edwards for the second spot, McMurray was able to pull away and score the win.
"Really, as a kid that's what you want to do is to have a shootout like that, and to have a possibility to race for 10 laps" McMurray said of his battle with Edwards. "Carl got a little bit of a jump on me on the restart. I was able to hang on his quarter-panel. When we kept entering (Turn) 1 and Turn 3, I was like, 'This is for a million bucks, if we wreck it's not that big of a deal.' It's so cool to come out on top of that."
McMurray credited much of his success to Rodden, his rookie crew chief.
"It's really hard as a driver to be in the car and know the handling is going away, and have him say you're have to stay out on old tires or get two tires," McMurray explained. "Keith did an unbelievable job. He was a huge secret in the garage, and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to work with him."
We really did!!! Victory lane!! pic.twitter.com/1SAS0T0kjN— Keith Rodden (@keithrodden) May 18, 2014
Harvick was forced to settle for second, followed by Matt Kenseth, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Edwards, who continued to fall back in the final 10-lap segment.
"That's frustrating," Edwards said. "I just went back and watched the replays. Jamie just did a perfect job on the start. I had him cleared for a minute. If I would have pulled in front of him in Turn One, if I would have gone high, I think we would have won that race, but I was just so reluctant to give up the bottom. Jamie just did a perfect job."
While McMurray praised his pit crew and strategy, runner-up Harvick felt his race was lost on pit road.
"I thought we had a really fast race car and did all the things we needed to put ourselves in position on the racetrack and just couldn't get it done on pit road tonight," Harvick said. "We just didn't make it happen at the end and ran out of time as we got to the closing laps."
Edwards took the lead on the initial green flag to start the first segment, but had to put up with a hard-charging Kyle Busch in the No. 18 Toyota. As the two battled, Harvick and Jeff Gordon closed on their back bumpers as the two Chevrolets battles for the third spot.
Busch took the lead from Edwards on Lap 10, while Gordon took second from the No. 99 Ford Lap 13. Edwards continued to fight a tight car falling back to fifth at the end of the first segment.
As Busch set the pace up front, Hendrick teammates Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne raced hard for the fifth spot, swapping the spot between them lap after lap.
When the caution fell to end segment one, Kyle Busch led Gordon, Harvick, Kahne, Edwards, Johnson, Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth and Joey Logano.
Kyle Busch led everyone but Denny Hamlin to pit road, while Brad Keselowski, Ryan Newman and Kurt Busch won the race off pit road with two tire stops.
Hamlin jumped out to the lead on the start of the segment, but behind him the fight was on.
The first caution of the night came when Kyle Busch got a huge run off Turn 2 and got into the back of Clint Bowyer, when Bowyer got loose, he got into Busch, who slid up the track narrowly avoiding Dale Earnhardt Jr. As Busch slid back down the track, he made hard contact with Joey Logano.
"I was just trying to run the high side there and got a run off (Turn)," Busch said. "I saw Kurt get really bottled up and about get in the wall so he had to check-up real had and my shot was in the middle -- to go across three lanes and underneath Bowyer, but Bowyer blocked it and when he did I got into him and got him squirrely and I was still going low trying to get him and he touched me and just spun me out the wrong way. I don't know, just trying to go."
"They were just crashing in front of me," Logano said. "I thought he was gonna stay up by the wall and he started coming down and I was in the wrong spot and I couldn't get low enough quick enough as quick as he was coming down. I wish I would have turned back to the right and maybe I could have gone back to the outside of him, but once he started coming down you're kind of aimed right at him unfortunately and it killed our Shell/Pennzoil Ford, so we don't get to have any fun tonight."
Under the caution, a number of teams hit pit road for tires and adjustments on thier car.
Following the restart, Greg Biffle took it three-wide with Brian Vickers exiting Turn 2 and as the No. 55 Toyota came down, he hit Allmendinger, sending him down the track and into the inside wall to bring out the second caution of the night.
Under the second caution, a handful of cars hit pit road for service, including Harvick, Josh Wise, Ryan Newman, Jamie McMurray and Brad Keselowski.
Kahne's car came to life following the restart, taking the lead from Edwards on Lap 35 and leading the rest of the second segment.
As Kahne led the field to pit road, McMurray, Matt Kenseth, Keselowski and Martin Truex Jr. stayed out on the track. On pit road, Biffle and Earnhardt Jr. took two tires, while Harvick, Kahne and Edwards followed with four tires.
Biffle and Earnhardt Jr. led the field to start the third segement of the night, as Kahne charged to the front on four fresh tires. With a fast car that could run the high line and the bottom of the track, Kahne retook the lead from McMurray on Lap 47.
Kahne led the field to the end of Segment 3, followed by Harvick, McMurray, Keselowski, Kenseth, Johnson, Earnhardt Jr., Gordon, Vickers and Truex.
As the field hit pit road between segments, McMurray won the race off with two tires, followed by Keselowski, Johnson and Kurt Busch, who also took two tires. Harvick and Kahne were the first cars off pit road with four tires.
McMurray and Keselowski brought the field to the green flag to start the fourth and final 20-lap segment.
As the field fought for postion, something broke on Jeff Gordon's No. 24 Chevrolet entering Turn 3 and was tagged by Truex Jr. The two cars hooked together and shot into the outside wall, collecting the No. 16 of Biffle to bring out the third caution of the night.
Bummer about our night. Fast car. Not sure what broke but something in the front end. Great racing out there! Can't wait for next week.— Jeff Gordon (@JeffGordonWeb) May 18, 2014
McMurray's No. 1 Chevrolet was able to jump out to the lead on the restart on Lap 67, as Harvick, Keselowski, Kurt Busch and Edwards battled for second behind him.
One of the most dominant cars of the night, Kahne caught the wall on Lap 70 running 12th, blamining oil on the track. The hit didn't bring out the caution, and out front Harvick and McMurray put on a great battle for the top spot. Harvick was able to grab the lead with an agressive move under McMurray into Turn 3 on Lap 76.
As the fourth segment came to an end, Kahne's right front tire gave out, sending the No. 5 Chevrolet into the outside wall.
Harvick led McMurray, Keselowski, Kurt Busch, Vickers, Hamlin, Kensethh, Earnhardt Jr., and Edwards to end Segment 4.
With the field under caution, NASCAR reset the field according to the field's average finish in the first four segments. Harvick led the field onto pit road, followed by McMurray, Johnson, Earnhardt Jr., Edwards, Kenseth, Keselowski, Vickers, Kurt Busch, Bowyer, Hamlin, Stewart, David Ragan and Josh Wise.
Following the mandatory four-tire stop, Edwards won the race off pit road followed by McMurray, Harvick, Kenseth, Johnson, Earnhardt Jr., Hamlin, Bowyer, Kurt Busch, Vickers, Keselowski, Stewart, Ragan, Wise and Kahne.
After a hard-fought battle for the lead, McMurray was able to wrestle the top spot from Edwards before opening up a commanding lead with eight laps to go.
As McMurray pulled away, Harvick took second from Edwards and set his sights on the No. 1 Chevrolet. Unable to chase him down, Harvick was forced to settle for second as McMurray won his first Sprint All-Star Race.

This is a great lamp! I love it!
We use it as a boudoir lamp; it works well with our furniture. My only concern is that the glass pieces are not fastened in place, merely held with two clips at the bottom and the filial at the top.
This is just a lamp with pretty print to add to a bedside table! Handy with the touch feature! Three way is really an addition! Service and delivery were great!
This lamp arrived broken in shipment. I called the customer service dept. and they sent me a new one out immediately, the orginal one was thrown out. Excellent service. It was an Xmas gift.

I am not sure what's up but I bet a bunch of shorts wet their pants.
This whole run up may be in anticipation of the Freidrich's ataxia phase 1 results. The trial was done in Italy and you know they cannot keep a secret. I bet a lot of people know the results. Futhermore, the study actually included patients afflicted with Friedrc's Ataxia. Something you can do in a phase 1 study in Italy but not in the USA
Anyway, the study is completed and now the results are being analyzed. Everyone from the paperboy to the pizza delivery guy in Italy knows the results. Wish I did, but the stock action shows that something is brewing.
Hopefully a breakout .
Should have traded the pop instead of hold. Oh well there is always tomorrow.

Forwards have got the guts and the courage, and backs haven't. I want a forward beside me and the only time I want a back is when I'm retreating because I'll want a fast piggy-back.
Forwards have the important jobs and positions in the rugby league game. We have all heard the old truisms: "Forwards win big matches", "control the middle of the field and the ruck", do the hard yards first"….When it comes to defending in the trenches, when it comes to going forward with the ball, when it comes to the sickening clashes and biffo - it's the forwards that provide the grunt and the guts.
Look at recent grand finals - all won on the platform of the forwards. The 2001 and 1999 grand finals are great examples of this. The 1999 grand final was in the bag for St George Illawarra at half time on the back of great work by Mundine and Blacklock, but in the second half the Storm forwards came out and monstered the St George Illawarra pack, led by Nikau and Lazarus. This got the St George Illawarra team on the back foot and allowed the outside backs to score the tries. In the 2001 grand final, why did the Knights win over the much-vaunted Parramatta ? The gutsy Knights forwards blew away the Parramatta pack in the first half and Parramatta never got a look in. Joey Johns had a bit to do with it, but remember, he's a half-back which actually makes him a half-forward too!
The dominating images of the State of Origin are players like Spud and Chief lining each other up, the raging bull Tallis rampaging and big hitting, and the littlest half-forwards like Johns and Alfie bamboozling the tackle-shy gutless backs ! The 3rd origin match in 2003 shows this perfectly, the previously tired and outplayed Queensland forwards came out in the 3rd match and just steamrolled the NSW pack leading to their win in that match - Queensland didn't have a real chance until their forwards stood up to be counted.
Maybe the smartalecs outside the part-forwards (half and five-eigth) score the tries but it's because of the forwards that backs get their opportunities. Everyone knows how important the forwards are, screaming out "Go forward". The only guy on the field who says "go back" is the referee !
Too many forget the hard work by the forwards for the fancypants backs, but when it matters the forwards stand up and take control of the game. Its no accident that the teams soften each other up in the early stages - no wonder the backs back away when the going is tough ! One of the best compliments given a modern winger is to say he played like an extra forward ! Modern wingers are chosen partly on their ability to play in the ruck area. Most are just forwards waiting to slow down whilst speedy backs like El Masri, Slater and Wesser languish on the sidelines because the selectors realise it's better to have a couple of extra forwards. Even master coaches like Bennett often stack their bench with four forwards.
The forwards are the only ones you can depend upon, when you're on your own line and the opposition is pressing hard, it's the forwards who form the nucleus of the defenders, spreading out from the ruck. The softest try you can score is the pushover next to the ruck (probably because some backs are defending there), because it's recognised that the gutsiest and hardest men (the forwards) are supposed to be there.
At the end of the match you only have to look at the jumpers to see how dirty and ripped they are, from the backs to the forwards, the jumpers get dirtier, because the forwards have been doing the work. The shirkers out the back just ponce around bludging on the hard workers.
Don't get me wrong, backs have their uses, when the team plane crashes on the desert island and you're stuck there for years, it's the backs who are going to be wearing the skirts and high heels and the forwards will be controlling the rations in exchange for favours……

Prop 8 Update
March 28th, 2009
Join the Impact Responds to the Call for DayOfDecision.org Co-Sponsors
NATIONAL - In the near future, the California Supreme Court will announce its decision on whether or not to repeal Proposition 8. The ruling could come down as early as this week, and as late as June 5th. When this time comes, it will either be a moment of protest or celebration for the LGBTQ community. To respond to both possible outcomes, grassroots activists Robin Tyler and Andy Thayer are calling for Day of Decision activities across the US. Join the Impact and many other national organizations are adding their support and resources to the national effort.
"We have over 200 amazing organizers across the country who are eager to respond to Proposition 8″ says Willow Witte, co-founder and Executive Director of Join the Impact. The California Supreme Court will give 24 hours notice before reading its decision, but Witte is confident that with proper planning, 24 hours will be enough time for organizers to rally their base.
"I'm hoping that the day is one of celebration in the streets," says Amy Balliett, co-founder and Communications Director of Join the Impact. "If it is not, then the California Supreme Court will set an unhealthy precedent in this country; One that allows the majority to vote on the rights of the minority, and take a minority out of the Constitution."
Along with their organizers, Join the Impact has also lent its virtual organizing platform to the mix by re-creating their November 15th Wetpaint tool for DayOfDecision.org. This tool (http://dayofdecision.wetpaint.com), will allow organizers to update their city pages with event information, and will allow all who sign up the chance to be notified of their city's actions almost immediately.
Robin Tyler and Andy Thayer are seasoned activists when it comes to events like this. They called for national action by organizing celebrations in 50 cities for the Federal Supreme Court Day of Decision regarding Lawrence v Texas, the decision that struck down sodomy laws across the nation. Tens of thousands of activists were on the streets, from Alaska to Hawaii to Puerto Rico and all over the mainland. Robin Tyler has been the main stage producer for 3 marches on Washington and she and her partner, Diane Olson were the first lesbian plaintiffs in the California Supreme Court Marriage Equality case in 2008. They are also petitioners in the recent California Supreme Court case to overturn Proposition 8.
To get involved in Day of Decision activities, go to DayOfDecision.org and sign up to organize. To stay informed about a local Day of Decision event in your area, go to http://dayofdecision.wetpaint.com and navigate to your state and then city pages to stay informed. Joining the site will put you on the national mailing list to receive a call to action the day the decision is read.

Respond to Review of May's Thai Kitchen
by TB
Review: I wanted to update my review to note that the last time I was in, May told me that at the request of some of her other vegan customers, she's putting together an entirely separate vegan menu to make the restaurant even more veggie friendly! Very cool, although as far as I'm concerned, they're already doing a great job making vegans feel welcome and attended to :) *** I am obsessed with May's - they don't have the most fun location, in the sense that they're not in the heart of downtown or near "cool" Retro Row, but the restaurant itself is adorable, and their food is hardcore authentic Thai and so so SO tasty, so the location doesn't matter! May's is a lovely, family-owned and run restaurant. May herself will often come out into the dining room to check on everything, and because she gets to know her customers so well, she's really responsive to their needs. The servers are also always lovely and full of knowledge about what is veg and what isn't, so if you're unsure, just ask. There are other Thai restaurants in Long Beach with better locations, but none with better food. Their special of the day is often vegetarian, and they offer both white and brown rice, which I appreciate. Our favorite dishes currently are the pineapple fried rice, the tofu with young ginger, and the red veggie curry! Amazing food, great ambience - come to May's!

McCollum Gains Big: 12 Points Ahead of Scott
By Jim Meyers
Bill McCollum has opened a 12 percentage-point lead over Rick Scott in his campaign for the Republican nomination for governor in Florida, according to a new poll released by the Florida Chamber of Commerce.
The poll of likely Republican primary voters shows McCollum with 45 percent of the vote, Scott with 33 percent, and roughly 20 percent undecided.
Attorney General McCollum has a comfortable lead over businessman Scott among moderates, 48 percent to 27 percent, as well as conservatives 43 percent to 36 percent, according to the polling firm, McLaughlin & Associates. He also has a huge lead over Scott among Hispanic voters, 52 percent to 21 percent.
A Mason-Dixon poll released last week showed McCollum leading Scott by four percentage points, as did a survey by the Florida Medical Association.
McCollums comeback has amazed political observers and McCollum critics and supporters alike. Some earlier surveys had him trailing Scott by double digits, and as recently as Aug. 4, a Mason-Dixon poll showed Scott leading McCollum by 37 percent to 31 percent.
Voters evidently are becoming increasing concerned about Scotts highly questionable business dealings and his refusal to release a deposition he gave in regard to a lawsuit alleging fraudulent practices at a healthcare company he now heads.
The new allegations likely remind voters of fraudulent practices uncovered at Scotts former company, Columbia/HCA, the nations largest hospital chain.
Continued Here: http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/McCollum--Scott--Florida--governor/2010/08/16/id/367633
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
In 1997, Scott was forced to resign as CEO of the firm while it was being investigated for massive Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The FBI launched a multistate probe that led to the firm pleading guilty to criminal charges of overbilling the government.
It remains the largest Medicare fraud case in U.S. history, and ended with Columbia/HCA paying a record $1.7 billion in fines, penalties and damages.
Scott, who walked away from the company with $310 million, accepted responsibility for what occurred at Columbia and said he had learned hard lessons from the case.
But Scott is once again under pressure, this time for his role at Solantic a chain of about 30 walk-in Florida clinics he co-founded after leaving Columbia/HCA as the company, ironically, faces an allegation of billing irregularities involving Medicare.
MCCollum was against the AZ law before he was for it. Rubio is another open borders RINO.
Crist is just a liar and a freak.
McCollum's making a big comeback.....PING
My recollection of him is as a pretty solid conservative, with some of the worst political luck I have ever seen.
Bill was against Arizona before he was for it.
At least he is sueing Obama. I would vote for a Kangaroo before a Democrat or Crist at this point.
McCollum is a flip flopper on the immigration issue. Although I do like his credentials, polls show he has trouble beating the Democratic candidate, Alex Sink for Gov. Rick Scott, who admittedly has issues fares better as he is running as the 'outsider' candidate. He however, has some baggage as well.
I am somewhat torn on who to vote for in the primary.
Yes....a solid conservative who was one of the House Managers during the Clinton Impeachment. He is pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, supports the Second Amendment, and a fiscal conservative.
He was also the first state Attorney General to bring a case that the Obama Health Care insurance mandate is unconstitutional. Numerous states have followed his lead.
He also recently proposed an Illegal Immigration Law for Florida that is similar to the Arizona law.
Actually the polls I've seen indicate that McCollum is more electible against Sink than Scott.
I like McCollum's conservative record andI trust him to be a solid conservative governor.
With all the shady Medicare stuff that has gone on with Scott's past & current companies....I don't trust him to manage Florida.
McCollum was one of the members of the House's managers of Bill Clinton's impeachment and trial.
In 2000, he was the GOP nominee for US Senate but lost to Bill Nelson.
In 2004, he ran again for US Senate but lost the GOP primary to Mel Martinez.
In 2006, he was elected Attorney General of the state of Florida.
In 2008, he was state campaign manager for Rudy Giuliani's Presidential campaign.
McCollum is a conservative, but he's also a politician. I think he'll be much more conservative than Crist, more in the vein of Jeb. Jeb wasn't the perfect conservative, and McCollum won't be either, but he'll be a whole lot better than the alternatives. At this point, I don't think Scott can beat the Dem. He has too much baggage. McCollum will also have a tough time with the Dem, but can probably pull it out in a Republican year. Denying the Dems control of the governorship will help the GOP a lot in 2012.

Yeah. I'm afraid Scott will just embarrass the GOP.
McCollum and Sink are tied in the polls. The billion dollar scandal ridden Rick Scott could hardly be a wise choice as nominee.
At this point, I dont think Scott can beat the Dem. He has too much baggage. McCollum will also have a tough time with the Dem, but can probably pull it out in a Republican year. Denying the Dems control of the governorship will help the GOP a lot in 2012.
I agree. And the liberal Florida newspapers would have plenty of ammo to 'sink' Scott's Campaign and that would mean Florida is stuck with the ultra liberal Alex Sink during the critical 2012 election....not a good scenario!
McCollum isn't just surging against Scott; he's doing much better against the Democrats. Funny that even NewsMax can't even suppose that it's at least partly due to the fact that he has "seen the light" (at least politically) on Arizona-style immigration enforcement.
"Thats not the case when it comes to Scott. She blows him away by a 40-24 margin. Only 42 percent of Republicans would support Scott against Sink — but if she faced McCollum, hed receive 69 percent of the GOP support.
Translation: Scott might be unelectable."
Easy choice - we MUST nominate McCollum, he's a good conservative and Scott is unelectable.
Yes, coming out in favor of an Arizona-style law (which McCollum says is a stronger enforcement law) for Florida has gotten a lot of attention.
That has certainly helped McCollum.
Also recent news about charges of Medicare fraud at Solantics has definitely hurt Scott. Looks like a pattern of corruption....that would be used & repeated by the Dems.
BIG BUMP.....what you said!
Brilliant......WOSG quotes the poll I saw a couple of days ago...with McCollum beating Sink.
What these two have done is to ensure that Sink is elected.
I'm not sure that that wasn't the plan all along.
No...see post #18....another poll showed McCollum does much better than Scott against Sink.
I read that McC was against something in the early version of the AZ law then when they amended it, he was happy with it. We're voting for him.
Scott is bombarding our area with very pricey, slick literature about himself. Today, he left a very long plea for my vote on my answering machine.
He's got lots of money that he walked away with when he left as the company's CEO. He is using it to buy the governorship of Florida.
The MSM would open up all his skeletons if he runs against a Democrat.
This is the first poll that has McCollum in the lead...when every other poll has Scott in the lead
McCollum is pro-Illegal Alien, does not support the AZ SB 1070...he went John Kerry on it now. And, he is not going to beat Sink...not with Jeb Bush endorsing him
Scott is the better candidate, and is the conservative. Granted he has the issue of HCA getting zapped by the feds...but it will not hurt him against uber liberal Sink
Any poll done by Chamber of Commerce is questionable. Chamber of Commerce supports Illegal Alien Amnesty...and McCollum is pro-illegal...regardless of where he stands now.
National security begins at home. A vote for McCollum is a vote for an Open Borders liberal
He's started out great but has become a first class RINO. The areas I specifically remember are he likes to spend, like McCain he has become a very recent convert to stopping illegal immigration, and he voted for the Brady Bill. There are other two faced actions that I can't yet recall, but I do know never to trust him because he is now a full waffle RINO.
Here's the deal in Florida:
A possible crook running against an actual RINO. You can take your pick, but I don't vote for RINOs.
He was a pretty good congressman but he always looked too much like an assistant branch manager.
This is the poll that the press is trying to hide. Masons Dixon from Aug 9th to 11th.
The liberals want to run against Scott. He will lose, either in the primary or the general.
Newsmax is in the tank for McCollum.
"I agree. In the beginning I was leaning toward Scott. However, I will now be voting for McCollum.
I am afraid of some Scott scandal coming out and handing the governorship to the Dems."
This is exactly what I've been thinking. I'm going back to the McCollum side. Scott's background makes me nervous. I only hope McCollum can "sink" Sink in November.
This is my biggest concern about Scott.
I would really curious to know how many health care companies are accused of overbilling Medicare. FWIW I have NEVER had a hospital bill that did not include things that I didn't get or were not done. I can't imagine Medicare patients' bills are any different.
Everybody sucks?
If you run for the highest office in a State, you can't hide behind a "Private Matter" no matter how good a business man you are. Likewise what we now have been experienced for about 20 grueling months from an illegal alien and certainly an usurper who by help of the greatest political scam in the nation's history is taking it into Sharia Law!!!
Agree partly, but what are the alternative options now???
Not many options. The RINO GOP stinks. It takes lots of money to break through. I am not sure Scott is the one but MCCollum was against AZ. McCollum's AZ law for FL will die after the primary.
I do wish I could agree with you on this one, but I can't, because the truth is that McCullom was NOT against AZ, but supported it when wordings were changed, and that's enough in my book. Strong Conservative candidate is a question mark, but seems to be more than the other candidates.
And I give him a plus for his stand as the House Member Manager in the late nineties. Just what is lacking right at this moment in Washington D.C. (District of Corruption) where you have nothing than pussycats, including a certain "retired"(?) USAF and FINO on the national threads plus a few other defectors not facing up to the Constitution!!!
Bumping your # 27.....
Thanks Fred for all those great links....Anyone thinking of voting for Rick Scott needs to read this information.
Scott's shady Medicare fraud connections would be great ammo for the Dems to destroy him!
OOOOPS meant to BUMP your # 31!
This is exactly what Ive been thinking. Im going back to the McCollum side. Scotts background makes me nervous. I only hope McCollum can sink Sink in November.
I saw a poll recently that said McCollum was much stronger than Scott against Sink.
With Jeb's endorsement and the GOP grassroots behind him, McCollum can beat Sink who would be an Obama-clone.....especially this year!
McCollum, as Attorney General, has opened up a bogus investigation on Scott's new business.
McCollum has switched positions on illegal immigration.
Along with Clinton, Reno and the Jack-booted justice department, he was in favor of the railroading of Elian Gonzales. Also as a representative, he went along with Clinton on NAFT and GATT.
Hillary was responsible for the suit which took down Columbia HCA. Scott wanted to fight the suit but was overruled by the board of directors.
Vote Scott. McCollum is a consummate, PC, chameleon politician.
Get rid of incumbents!!

You Are An Evil Tribe... Who Me? What???
Well, despite owning Civ 3 Complete, I have found myself addicted again to Civ 1 for the SNES.
"You are an evil tribe that must be exterminated." I hear that quote quite often playing the SNES version of Civ 1. What I would like to know is why does the AI tell me this so often? I also get sneak-attacked often by tribes that aren't very advanced. Other times the AI will say that they can easily destroy me and therefore I should give them gold. Then they say that my rejection of their attempts at conciliation mean that I am nothing but warmongering vermin. I tell them to stuff it and eventually get mad enough to wipe that weaker foe off the map.
Is it normal for the AI to attack a human player if the human player is way ahead or behind? Are my city defenses not adequate perhaps, resulting in the AI thinking they can beat me?
I've noticed that the AI will want war if I only have Militia guarding some of my cities, so I avoid doing that. The barbarians tend to appear often under those circumstances as well. Is there a minimum requirement for defenses that I am missing? Perhaps two Phalanx minimum?
Right now I tend to have a Militia, a Phalanx and a Chariot guarding each town early on. Then later I replace them with veteran units.
I would just like to play a peaceful game for once, from start to finish. Is that not possible?

In negotiations, the AI assesses relative military strength for the landmass in which the negotiation is taking place. They "cheat" in a sense by knowing your total attack points, defense points, and number of cities, and comparing it to theirs. The number of cities counts against you (more land and innocent people to defend) whereas something like a nuke will send your attack strength off the charts and they'll offer peace.
One thing I'm not sure about is if they keep these military ratings in mind when their units are wandering around looking for openings. I'm guessing that they do not, though, and attack regardless. Gives Shaka the chance to trollface (again) when his legion vaporizes your MechInf.

Having a perfect peaceful game from start to finish in Civ1
is something a lot of players have attempted,
but very, very few have succeeded.
It requires deep, Yoda-like knowledge and some luck also,
especially when you are in a precarious starting position.
I sometimes try this peaceful approach, and most of the
time I have to settle for (or choose to allow) one or two or three short-term wars
(I very seldom retrace my steps and go back to an old savegame even
when I make obvious mistakes so it's especially hard getting everything
right the first time when you don't know what is hiding behind
the next turn).
I find the challenge (and discussing it) interesting though, and after
a lot of practice (and listening to the experience of other gamers)
you start understanding some of the mechanics involved
on how the computer thinks.
Also you understand a bit about what preventive measures
it's smart to take.
I'll try to gather some of my thoughts on this based on
my personal experience and post again in a little while.
I'm assuming the SNES version is very close to the
DOS version I'm usually playing (ver.474.01).
I also assume you are playing with all seven Civs
as I myself do 90 % of the time.

I used to pay tribute to Stalin in this one game I played, but he would always sneak attack, even if I always payed him. Whenever I want a peaceful game I usually either play on Earth as the Aztecs or Americans and restart if the Aztecs appear, or I replay an old save file where I know I'm starting in an isolated position. Starting alone in the Americas on Earth and changing the difficulty level to Emperor +2 is so fun. The happiness problem becomes quite interesting.

If you would always pay the money for peace and dont let other units reach places next to your units, they cant make sneak attacks and declare war.

Latch MatchWritten by on December 1, 2001 Latch On To A Dons Hot Rods Hood Latch
Opening and closing doors and hoods on any hot rod or custom should be accomplished with ease and without any compromise to safety. Original equipment is adequate in most cases, but modern technology can improve the operation and safety of these items. Dons Hot Rods in Germantown, Ohio, builds some of the finest hot rods in the worldthey have the awards to prove it. Their catalog of quality parts, designed and developed in-house, can add value to any hot rod buildup.
One popular item that Dons Hot Rods offers is a hood latch kit for the 40 Ford DeLuxe, standard, or pickup. These laser-cut and die-stamped steel parts are designed to be bolt-in kits, and with a little patience and perseverance, they are. Check out our photos of a hood-latch installation from Dons Hot Rods.

Before you can start installing any latch, the three-piece grille and support brackets will need to be assembled. The curved pieces that bolt to the sides of the grille are necessary to keep air flowing through the radiator—not around it. A Don's Hot Rods hood latch will also improve air flow through the radiator.The visible grille cover latch panel (right) and the inner-hood bracing are new steel parts. It's a good idea to spray a coat of protective primer when you get these parts or you'll be cleaning up some surface rust at a later date.A square-tube T-shaped brace mounts in the hood behind the flat latch plate to give greater support to the latch pin and the steel latch.To install the grille cover latch plate and bucket, a little modification to the center cross brace is necessary. Cut the tongue-shaped piece off of the cross brace so the latch bucket butts up against the cross brace.Here's the latch cover in place—three small holes (on each side) need to be drilled to attach it to the grille mounting rails. Mark and drill holes in the grille cross brace to attach the latch-bucket mounting bracket. Then run a wire or pull cable to the latch that will reach to the interior pull handle.The inner hood bracing and nose cover can bolt directly to the hood flanges. First install the latch pins and secure them—we wrapped some tape around the latch to prevent scratching it. Some adjustment is achieved by raising or lowering the latch using the threads and a locknut behind the nose cover.
