Top Picks for Touring In Europe
* Basque Pilgrimage
Let Dragon's Path Cultural Walking Tours guide you through the Basque Country, a single culture spanning portions of two countries: France and Spain. Dragon's Path's walking tour retraces El Camino de Santiago, perhaps the most famous European pilgrimage route, through picturesque villages tucked in the western Pyrenees and spread amongst the limestone towers of the Cantabrian Mountains.
The tour begins with a visit to the grandiose Guggenheim in Bilbao, and wanders amongst castle ruins, through private vineyards and into centuries-old forests and alpine meadows. Walk by day and dine on expertly aged cheeses, fruits of the sea, farm-raised meats, and regional confections by night. Dragon's Path Cultural Walking Tours are experts on keeping you far from the beaten path. thedragonspath.com
* Irish Horses
For the experienced horseback rider and adventurous spirit, Equitour's self-guided exploration of Ireland takes you back to times when people actually traveled by horse. You'll venture from pub stay to farmstay, feeling the harmony of man and beast as you trot through the fairytale woodlands and farmlands that inspired William Butler Yeats. A ride through the golden dunes of Culleenamore and Dornings Strand are one highlight of the trip. Other European destinations include Estonia, Finland and Iceland, as well as the UK, France, Spain and Italy. ridingtours.com
If the idea of horsepacking is attractive, but you're not sure you have the experience to go alone, Cross-Country International Equestrian Vacations offers fabulous, all-inclusive guided horse tours and horseback training camps in Ireland, Scotland, England, France, Spain, and Greece. Meander country roads, stay in glorious inns and castles, and see the countryside the way it was meant to be seen... from the saddle. equestrianvacations.com
* The Road Less Traveled in Eastern Europe
Cross-Culture Inc. takes you on the road less traveled in Slovenia, Slovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, the Czech Republic and the more traditional European destinations. Hike Bohemia or the French Dordogne, visit World Heritage Sites along the Danube, or discover the villages of Tuscany. All small-group tours are unique and focus on the rich cultural and natural heritage of the destination.
If you prefer independent travel and the ease of a FIT, MIR Corporation, a specialist in Russia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe, allows you to custom design your own independent itinerary in Russia, the Baltics, Ukraine and Eastern Europe. Homestays, in-country transportation and expert itinerary planning are all part of the price. Mir Corp. also offers "off-the-beaten-path" small groups tours to the same regions and beyond. mircorp.com
* Food is Poetry is Art in Italy
Visitors to Italy are equally drawn by the medieval mystique of stone villages and ruggedly exquisite countryside as by the region's delectable cuisine. Celebrate Italy with a course at the Ligurian School of Poetic Cooking, April 2-7, 2002 in Tellaro, Italy.
Peggy Markel's Culinary Adventures will make all the arrangements for you to study Seafood and Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Sauces with Chef/Poet Angelo Cabani. Guests stay in the family's seven-room inn in Tellaro, a tiny coastal fishing village. You can savor Angelo's delectable meals after learning the secrets of each. While the sauces are simmering, there'll be plenty of time for you to stroll the rocky coast, take in breathtaking views of the sea, relax, and explore the village. cookinitaly.com
Did that whet your appetite? If you want more Italian cooking and touring, check out Enoteca de' Giraldi's wine and food tours of Tuscany. Enjoy exclusive wine tastings, cooking lessons, visits to wineries and -- because you have to be able to talk about what you eat and drink -- Italian language classes. All tours can be customized to whatever flavors suit you! vinaio.com
Bike and Cook!
Or, bike and cook with Bike Rider's Tours unique cooking/biking tours through Umbria, Burgundy, Tuscany, Provence and Sicily. Award-winning US-based chefs offer hands-on classes, wine tastings, vineyard and market visits, in addition to riding each day. A great way to build up that appetite! bikeriderstours.com
* Literary Europe
Explore the intimate world of Dickens, Keats, Vita Sackville-West, Chaucer, Jane Austen and others during Specialty World Travel's unique literary tour of London. 4-star accommodations are just the beginning of this detailed tour through the homes and haunts of London's most famous writers. Or you can tour the turrets of Sir Walter Scott, Robert Burns and MacBeth in Scotland; Simone de Beauvoir, Hemingway, Balzac, Sartre, Zola, Dumas, Beckett and Victor Hugo in Paris; Dostoevsky, the Brownings, Boccaccio and Lord Byron in Tuscany. Get out those old classics before you go!
* Barging through France
Barge cruises may be the hottest European touring idea out there, and why not? Float in luxury from village to village, sampling the foods and wines of France, England, Scotland, Germany, Holland and Belgium. Unlike a cruise ship, a barge is more intimate and less tightly scheduled, giving you plenty of time to bike through the countryside or just sit on deck and watch it go by. The Barge Company offers special interest barge cruises for 2 - 50 people, so you can indulge your passion for history, art or food while cruising the waterways of Europe. bargecompany.com
Don't want to barge through on a scheduled tour? Le Boat Inc. offers self-drive barges in England, France, Ireland, Italy, Germany and other locales. Stop where you want, when you want, and create your own waterway tour. Perfect for seeing Europe at your own pace. leboat.com
* Pack and pedal
Run by a Dutch bicyclist and her daughter, Pack and Pedal offers self-guided biking tours through Holland, France, England, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Portugal, Greece and other European destinations. Tours include accommodations, bikes, maps, transfers and some meals. And if you want to combine biking with barge cruising, check out their bike and boat tours through Holland, Belgium and Austria. tripsite.com
Holland too flat? Try Sweden. US-based Backroad Travel in Sweden offers the unique opportunity to discover Viking history and outrageous scenery in the Land of the Midnight Sun. Backroad's 4 trips have varied itineraries: discover the Island of Gotland; bike and boat from castle to castle around Stockholm; cycle the gold coast of Denmark and Sweden; or walk the Baltic shores.
* Tour the British Isles by Motorcycle
OK, maybe foot-and-mouth has put a dent in your English walking plans, but you can still explore the UK's countryside on the back of a motorcycle. British Motorcycle Tours offers 13-day cultural motorcycle trips through the north of England, Scotland and Wales on the back of classic British bikes like Nortons and Enfields. (You can also choose a Japanese bike, on a separate tour). Discover pubs, abbeys, castles and more, "away from the tourist buses!" bcmt.co.uk
* Around the Alps
The Alps are the heart of Europe and Mont Blanc is the heart of the Alps. Alpine Hikers takes trekkers on a tour of Mont Blanc beginning in Chamonix, France, and winding through over seven passes, through three countries back to Chamonix. Gear is transported for you, and accommodations are in local inns. Still this trip is for hikers in good physical condition; daily hikes are five to eight hours each day with significant elevation gain and loss. If you find reward in the challenge, join Alpine Hikers August 27-September 8. If you only have a week, you can join or leave the trip half way. It's the closest thing to mountaineering without the crampons.
* Holistic holidays in Greece
If you look for variety on a two-week vacation, and live a healthful life (or desire to), try one of Skyros Holistic Holidays' two-week programs. A new age Club Med on Greece's Skyros Island, you can study everything from yoga and shiatsu, to salsa, songwriting and sailing. Or you can be part of the Skyros Community and just relax.
Skyros Island is a centuries-old village. The Homerian Castle where Achilles was hidden by his mother perches over the town. If you're looking for peace and quiet on Skyros, the Atsitsa campus is nine miles from Skyros Village. Guests stay in bamboo huts tucked in the pine forest, and courses are held outside on stone terraces overlooking the sea. The Skyros Center campus is on the edge of village life, nightlife and beaches with opportunity to explore all at your leisure. Skyros Holistic Holidays gives travelers a chance to develop or hone new interests, make friends and explore an exceptionally beautiful and historic place. skyros.com
* Un-tours
Take the best of independent travel in Europe and combine it with private lodgings, a support network and optional, affordable add-ons, and you have an Idyll Unlimited Untour, the most unique, affordable "tour" in Europe. Forget about the tour buses; Untours make you a "local" by providing a fully-furnished apartment in Austria, France (including Paris!), Holland, Hungary, Prague, Germany, Italy, Spain or Portugal, local support staff for travel assistance, optional flight and ground transport arrangements (inclusive package), guidebooks for excursion ideas, and more, so you can explore your destination at your own pace, but with support.
And the best part is you can take an Untour for one, two or four weeks or longer, so you can really get to know a place well. Be warned: Untourists like it so much, they come back again year after year. untours.com

It means that no blue ribbon is forever. Someday - if the world doesn't explode itself in the meantime - someone will run a two-minute mile in the Olympics. It may take a hundred years or a thousand, but it will happen. Because there is no ultimate blue ribbon. There is zero, and there is eternity, and there is mortality, but there is no ultimate.

I love these sheets from the satiny texture to their light weight. I can appreciate the previous reviewer's comment about wrinkles but I certainly don't notice them whether I'm lounging in bed or sleeping. I too used to iron my sheets and pillow cases but common sense finally prevailed - when the bed's made the sheets are covered by a comforter and no one knows about the wrinkles but me.
Love the lightness of the sheets - definitely a hot-weather sheet. There is no getting around the wrinkles. I do iron the fold-over on the top sheet and the pillow cases.

Heart Attack Counterattack
From Dr. Fuhrman's book Eat to Live:
Two things are necessary to predictably reverse heart disease: one is to become thin and superbly nourished, and the other is to get your LDL below 100. Reversal of heart disease then occurs. If one expects to diminish atherosclerotic plaque over time and stabilize the plaque so the chance of having a heart attack significantly decreases, I insist that he or she must strive to achieve the following parameters of normalcy:
- The patient must achieve a normal weight or become thin (less than one inch of abdominal fat in women, and less than three-quarters of an inch in men), or be in the process of steadily losing weight toward this goal.
- The patient must achieve normal cholesterol. My definition of normal is an LDL cholesterol below 100 (most authorities are now using this benchmark). Drugs are rarely needed to attain this level when an aggressive nutritional approach is taken.
- The patient's diet must be nutrient-dense. Animal products and detrimental fats must be avoided to prevent the after-meal fat surge.1 Refined carbohydrates should also be avoided to prevent the after-meal glucose surges and to control triglycerides. Homocysteine levels should be normalized, by supplementation with appropriate nutrients if necessary.
- Blood pressure must return to within the normal range, below 130/85, or be slowly improving and moving toward this minimal goal. The normalization of blood pressure as medications are gradually discontinued represents reversal of atherosclerosis and is an important criterion to predict cardiac safety. The person who has removed his cardiac risk no longer requires blood pressure medication to maintain normal blood pressure readings. The vessels have become more elastic through nutritional intervention.

"Lethal Weapon 3"
"Lethal Weapon Collection" Soundtrack Review
Music By Michael Kamen,
Eric Clapton & David Sanborn
Featuring "Probably Me" (Disc 2)
Performed By Sting With Eric Clapton
and "Runaway Train" (Disc 2)
Performed By Elton John and Eric Clapton
La-LaLand Records
Disc 1: 25 Tracks/Disc Time: 72:46
Disc 2: 14 Tracks/Disc Time: 53:49
Total Time: 126:35 Grade: B+
After the successes of "Lethal Weapon" and "Lethal Weapon 2", the latter becoming one of 1989's highest grossing films and making a killing along side Warner Bros. surprisingly successful franchise starter in "Batman", another sequel was in store for the fledging franchise that was raking in the dough on home video sales of the first two films. "Lethal Weapon 3" was little more lighter in tone this time around after a very dark sequel and a very moody original, but still had a very serious subject in mind: gun control which was a very important subject at the time and currently still is. With a solid script delivered by Jeffrey Boam (who co-wrote Lethal Weapon 2) and Robert Mark Kamen ("The Karate Kid"), LW3 brings Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Murtaugh (Danny Glover) are back once again as the feuding and fun loving double dose of police mayhem with this time Murtaugh deciding on retiring from the force after a very long run. After a botching a bomb squad assignment and literally blowing up a building in the process, the duo have been demoted back in uniform to L.A. streets where they prevent an armored car robbery which has Internal Affairs interested led by the aullring Lorna Cole (Rene Russo, "Thor") that eventually leads to a rogue dirty ex-LAPD detective named Jack Travis (Stuart Wilson, "The Rock") who is stealing and selling weapons from within the LAPD's armory that have been designated for destruction. As the case gets dirtier and Murtaugh's impending retirement, Riggs finds a surprising connection with Cole who has alot in common with him and soon find a cause along with Murtaugh to stop Travis once and for all.
The film was a blockbuster hit for the studio again paired off with "Batman Returns" sequel and was a wildly popular rental when it was released months later on home video. It has also been a very popular seller on DVD and now Blu-Ray thanks to two collections assembled by Warner Bros. to making the film and the franchise very bankable still which was the perfect time to unleash the massive box set that La-La Land Records has now put together. Now in this third score of the series, in which the music also played a vital and intrigal part of the series, Michael Kamen once again rocks the house with another solid and fun score adding to the diversity of the music for the series. Kamen was really riding high after all the successes of the previous "Lethal Weapon" and "Die Hard" films along with "Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves" and "The Last Boy Scout". This score is a little lighter in tone but does keep its' hard edge action sound when it's appropriate. Kamen really has fun with Murtaugh's retirement gag evidenced in the tracks "Trust Me", "Afterglow", and "Jaywalker", but then takes a more serious tone when tragedy personally affects him "Shooting Daryl Part 1", "Shooting Daryl Part 2", "Roger's Boat", "Shaving" and "Locker Room".
Kamen also displays passionate affection (both action oriented and sexual) for the budding relationship between Riggs and Cole with tracks such as "Scars/Love Scene", "Man's Best Friend/Lorna's First Fight", "Lorna's Second Fight" and "A Quiet Evening By The Fire", and also having fun with Leo Getz again with comedic tracks such as "Leo Getz", "Hockey Game", "Dum Dum Wound" and "Riggs Falls", which features a prominent statement of Leo's goofy trumpet theme. Kamen returns to a more sinister edge for the characters of Jack Travis, which he gives a rather slick and slithery motif for strings and brass with a militaristic edge highlighted by the tracks "Concrete Death", "Jack Kills Billy", "Captain Abducted/Captain And Travis", "Unauthorized Access" and finally culminating in the fierce action of "Gun Battle" and "Fire/Fire Battle". With some rocking action in "Amoured Car Chase" which features some of the trademark action style of the previous films with Clapton's guitar and Sanborn's sax going to work with joy and fun as in the previous films.
The third entry of the series enjoyed a nice soundtrack release (replicated here on disc 6 of this set) on Reprise records featuring two standout songs in "It's Probably Me" featuring great vocals by Sting and Eric Clapton and "Runaway Train" also featuring memorable vocals by Elton John and Eric Clapton in which the former is integrated into the score thematically throughout primarily for Riggs and Murtuagh. The album featured practically a third of the 70 plus minute score and now here it is in its' full powerhouse glory. It's not a perfect score and it's not in the same league with the previous films. However, it really is an enjoyable one and alot of fun to listen to Kamen's musical progression as the series went along which started as really hardcore action for the first two films, to a more lighter tone while retraining that great action material in tact. "Lethal Weapon 3" is not a perfect action score by any means. It is a highly entertaining and energetic score with alot of solid variety of music that is worthy of the series without question!" Strong thumbs up for this one!

I make my own as my lad had a allergic reaction to two well known brands, I use a squirt of fairy liquid (doesnt matter what one), Mint mouthwash (which contains alchohol) filled to about half way then fill the rest up with tap water, I either sponge it on or use in a spray bottle, I would test first for allergies but it really does work, I have seen flies land and fall off lol... don't know why but they hate it x

Coopers is supposed to be very good, it's expensive but I've bought some to try this Summer. Most of the sprays that I have used in the past really don't work so I'll be interested to see the results with Coopers. Do you have a fly mask for your horse ? I find these so good, the Equilibrium range is fab, Tenor has one of these and it has padding and good clearance over his eyes.

I quite like the lincoln one, I've used it for years with good results. In Scotland we have the dreaded midge problem too so we usually invest in some Avon woodland fresh oil spray as the little blighters hate it - if you ever come here on holiday especially a walking one then don't come without it!

I use cold tea, white vinegar, citronella and a drop of tea tree if memory serves - works better than many expensive ones and doesn't melt your sponge like Deet does ! I use a bottle like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PUMP-SPRAY-WATER-BOTTLE-1-5-ltr-WEEDS-GARDEN-BRASS-NOZZLE-Plants-Flowers-NEW-/280859380981?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Garden_Plants_Weed_Pest_Control_CV&hash=item4164860cf5
which allows me to spray the horse without the constant squeaking of the trigger which freaks my horse out! Bigger bottles of Citronella can be bought off Ebay much cheaper than your local chemist or health shop.
Kevin - the Avon product is Skin so Soft - excellent against midges. Tumble dryer cloths are also good for mozzies - can attach them to headpieces etc for horses upset by them.

She didn't think I would eat it but to her surprise I ate it all. It was very good and fresh. The best part is the lettuce was organic. Mmmh yummy. I want to encourage Mom to try more different foods with me. Who knows what all I might like. It doesn't always have to be meat. I know a cat who eats Yams. Maybe I'll try them next.

Wow, it's my birthday already? I can't be six years old. Not possible. What did I get for my birthday? I got a aaachooo, excuse me. I got a cold. I've been sneezing today. Not a good present. I wonder who gave that to me? I think it was my sisfur. She doesn't like me very much. Mom says she tolerates me. Sometimes she sniffs me or she walks right by me without saying anything. But once in a while she'll hiss and swipe at me. Sisfur says it's just so I know that she is the top cat. I let her believe that, MOL.

Yesterday was a tax holiday in Iowa. Mom says you could buy stuff and didn't have to pay taxes. I asked if she bought me a snack. No, says Mom, tax free were only things you can wear. I think it's not fair. I can wear snacks.

Mom said she needs to go to the dentist Monday. I wonder if she will use my dentist. I don't know if I should recommend my dentist to her or not. They seem to be real nice but the customer service could be better. They didn't offer me anything to eat all day long and they shaved my paw without asking for purrmission. I hope Mom's teeth are in as good shape as mine.

The End of Everything
Is there anything more disturbing than child abduction? In Megan Abbott's new novel The End of Everything, the answer is yes. Our naïve, earnest protagonist is 13-year-old Lizzie, who feels like a part of herself, her shadow, has gone missing when her best friend Evie disappears after school.
Set in 1980s America in the Midwestern suburbs, where lawns are fed regularly and hockey practice is a religion, Evie and Lizzie have grown up on opposite sides of the street. The girls are so in sync, their bond so fluid, Lizzie sometimes forgets they are separate people and is confused one day when a scar on her thigh is no longer there, only to remember it belongs to Evie. Naturally, she knows more than most about the circumstances under which her friend disappears, but finds it difficult to distinguish between betrayal and feeling betrayed.
As the plot unravels the web of deceit gets all the more tangled: is the princess stolen from the tower or is she rescued? Abbott probes into the relationships between girls and men; daughters and fathers. As the summer heat intensifies the cotton wool around Lizzie falls apart, revealing home truths far more sinister than the neighbourhood could have guessed.
Echoing The Lovely Bones and The Virgin Suicides, The End of Everything explores the torment and frustration of being a 13-year-old girl sat on the white picket fence between innocence and knowing everything. An addictive read, the story unfolds like a dream: hazy and disturbing, you can't quite shake it off.

Syracuse stamped themselves as the new beast of the ACC with a riveting overtime win over traditional ACC bosses Duke at the Carrier Dome yesterday. Senior CJ Fair led the way as SU pounded it inside and removed Dukes big men only to see the threes rain down to keep the Blue Devils in the game. It was a three at the buzzer that forced the game into overtime as SU failed to foul in time.
Syracuse will be the new #1 ranked team in college basketball as they welcome Notre Dame to the Dome on Monday night as the old Big East/new ACC continues to take shape with former Big East teams making themselves known. Arizona, the former #1, fell last night to California.
In game being called "One for the Ages" it lived up to all the pre-game hype as close friends and the two coaches who define success went toe-to-toe in what Boeheim called the best college game the Dome has ever seen. Duke rained 15-three pointers on the Orange, Rakeem Christmas blocked 6 shots, 7 points, and 10 rebounds. Fair had 28 points while super-sophmore Grant had 24 and 12 rebounds.
Next up is Notre Dame (12-10, 3-6 ACC) at 7:00 PM.

College Hockey:Minnesota State Tops Bemidji State
Beavers Late Comeback Falls Short
MANKATO, Minn. — A few clanks off the post in the other direction and Saturday night's game between Minnesota State and Bemidji State might have been a lot different.
The Mavericks, however, were the first to capitalize on their opportunities and took the momentum and the game, 4-2, at the Alltel Center in front of 4,174 people.
After a scoreless first period, the Beavers hit the post on two separate occasions in the second and had plenty of good shots during their power plays, but still couldn't convert.
"If we convert on that two-on-one where Ryan Cramer hits the pipe or when Cody Bostock hits the pipe, who knows," said BSU Coach Tom Serratore. "But we played well, we played really well. We were a better hockey team tonight and that's the bottom line."
Midway through the second, while the Mavericks were on a penalty kill, BSU's Matt Read lost the puck at the point and Geoff Irwin took off the other way on a breakaway, but was taken down by Ben Kinne on a hold. Irwin received a penalty shot and, after beating BSU goalie Orlando Alamano on his initial move, Alamano threw his glove out to stop Irwin's shot the keep the game scoreless.
"I thought it was a fantastic move and I think the goalie made even a better save," said MSU head coach Troy Jutting.
Just after Irwin's penalty shot, Zach Harrison gave the Mavericks their first lead of the game at 14:40. Harrison won the face off to Rylan Galiardi, who shot the puck toward the net. After it deflected off a BSU player, Harrison put it in.
"When Harrison scored it definitely got the bench going," said MSU sophomore defenseman Kurt Davis. "To finally get that first one, it settled everyone down a little bit and you could play a little more comfortable."
Davis then got in on the scoring himself in the third period, giving the Mavericks a 2-0 lead on a five-on-three advantage. MSU moved the puck throughout their offensive zone, something they did well on the power play all night, and Mick Berge hit Davis at the point, who fired a slap shot over Alamano's glove at 5:09.
Jason Wiley gave MSU a 3-0 lead midway through the third when he knocked in a rebound from the slot off a Berge shot.
The Beavers, however, made the game interesting, scoring two goals in the last three minutes, and were down one with just 1:45 left to play.
Shea Walters scored the first at 17:48 off a rebound and Tyler Scofield made it a one-goal game with his tally at 18:15. Read was behind the net and found Scofield in the slot, who beat MSU netminder Mike Zacharias.
"I thought it was a gutsy effort at the end when we not only scored the first one but we played with a little intensity and got the second one," Serratore said.
After an icing call, and with an extra attacker on the ice, the Beavers won the face off in their offensive zone with less than a minute to play, but a turnover led to Berge having an easy shot into the empty net, which was aided in by Irwin for the goal at 19:36. Berge and Trevor Bruess picked up assists. Berge had three assists in the game.
Alamano made 33 saves in the contest, while Zacharias stopped 29 shots. Zacharias stopped 15 shots on the penalty kill, leaving the Beavers scoreless on all nine power play opportunities.
"I thought Mike played extremely well for us," Jutting said. "We didn't play a great game, he played a great game."
The Mavericks begin their season 2-0 for the first time since 1998 and open Western Collegiate Hockey Association play next weekend, hosting North Dakota Friday and Saturday at the Alltel Center. BSU (0-2) will play two non-conference away games against Air Force.

Harry Potter readers aren't the only ones wishing things had turned out differently for Harry and Hermione Granger. Turns out J.K. Rowling concedes her decision to match Ron Weasley with Hermione Granger probably resulted in serious couples counseling.
In a recent interview with Wonderland magazine for an upcoming issue edited by Hermione Granger actress, Emma Watson, J.K. Rowling discussed her decision to match the genius witch with the red-headed Potter side-kick.
Rowling says, "I wrote the Hermione-Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfilment. That's how it was conceived, really…for reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron."
She went on to say "I'm sorry, I can hear the rage and fury it might cause some fans, but if I'm absolutely honest, distance has given me perspective on that. It was a choice I made for very personal reasons, not for reasons of credibility."
Emma Watson agrees with Rowling, telling the Sunday Times, "I think there are fans out there who know that too and who wonder whether Ron would have really been able to make her happy."

New York City Health Dept. Proposes That Restaurant Chains with 15+ Outlets List Calories
Statement of CSPI Nutrition Policy Director Margo G. Wootan
October 24, 2007
Thanks to the perseverance of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Commissioner Frieden, and Mayor Bloomberg, diners at chain restaurants with 15 or more outlets nationally may soon see listings of calories on menus and menu boards. The new proposed regulations are carefully designed to avoid any potential conflicts with federal food labeling law, and will be compliant with the decision of Judge Holwell in the restaurant industrys ill-intentioned lawsuit against the city.
Its time for the chain restaurant industry to get over its fear of menu labeling. Its pathetic to watch these companies go to such thuggish lengths to keep their customers in the dark. Instead of hiring expensive lobbyists and filing court-clogging lawsuits, the industry should take advantage of calorie labeling as a business opportunity and try to compete with each other to offer healthier dishes.

TEST DRIVE: Inhabitat Drives The Futuristic Three-Door Hyundai Veloster Coupe
BY: Laura K. Cowan
Start Slideshow
- Hyundai Veloster Left SideInhabitat recently had the chance to test the new Hyundai Veloster, which is available for purchase as a 2012 model for the first time - and we absolutely loved it. The all-new Veloster is a wonder of design made affordable, and it's the closest we have ever seen a concept car come to holding its best features through to production. What's so great about the Veloster? Well first of all, it has one door on the driver's side but two on the passenger side of the car, making it a unique three-door coupe with a hatch in the rear. The shape of the Veloster also makes it stand out, with rakish angles that essentially slice the entire top off a normal compact hatch. The front doors are so angled at the top that they are welded together from two pieces of metal - something we have never seen in a modern production car. This lends the car a sporty stance and lowers its center of gravity for better handling than you would expect from a compact car. But best of all, the Veloster manages to pack a start-stop button ignition, manumatic gear shifting, and a world-class infotainment system into a little car that only costs $17,300 to start. We had a hard time giving up our little tester when the week was up, and we expect to see the Veloster change the way people view Hyundai.1
- Hyundai Veloster Michigan TheaterWe took our tester to downtown Ann Arbor, where the historic Michigan Theater made a nice backdrop to our unique little city car.2
- Hyundai Veloster Front Quarter RightThe Veloster marks a new design language for Hyundai, which is moving up in the world in terms of exterior and interior design.3
- Hyundai Veloster FrontNote the new front end shapes and unique headlights. Everyone who asked us about this little car was surprised to learn it was a Hyundai.4
- Hyundai Veloster Front Quarter LeftThe Veloster is compact, but it still manages a muscular stance in the front.5
- Hyundai Veloster Right SideWhile on the left side there is only one driver door, on the right the Veloster sneaks in two doors. The beauty is in the fact that the line of the windows is exactly the same.6
- Hyundai Veloster Rear Quarter RightThe Veloster defies categorization, as it is not only a three-door coupe but also a hatchback, with the sharply angled rear window of a Prius.7
- Hyundai Veloster RearThe rear hatch makes use of a split rear window for maximum visibility, just like the Volt and Prius, but has a slightly more hatchback look from the rear.8
- Hyundai Veloster Rear Quarter LeftThe roof of the Veloster runs smoothly down to the rear taillights. While parked next to a Prius, we couldn't help but notice that the super streamlined Veloster is 2 inches shorter than the petite Prius.9
- Hyundai Veloster BadgeIs it us, or is this the font from Cars the movie?10
- Hyundai Veloster Driver Side Door ExteriorOn the driver's side, the Veloster works just like a standard coupe, with a driver seat the pushes forward for rear seat access. The front passenger seat does the same, but the rear passenger can enter from a small but standard-style door on the rearright of the car.11
- Hyundai Veloster Driver DoorThe interior door handle betrays the low price level of this car, but you won't mind a few lower-end trim bits when you only pay $17,300 to start for such a sporty little runaround.12
- Hyundai Veloster Front Passenger DoorThe Veloster has such sharp angles on the top of its doors that they are welded from two pieces of straight-edge metal at the top of the windows.13
- Hyundai Veloster Rear Passenger Door HandleThere is the rear passenger door handle, so subtly blended into the lines of the car you might miss it.14
- Hyundai Veloster Hatch Door OpenThe hatch opens wide and lifts the grocery cover off the cargo space, which is shallow but wide.15
- Hyundai Veloster Trunk SpaceYou could fit groceries and plenty of other gear in the back of the Veloster, so long as it isn't bulky in more than one dimension.16
- Hyundai Veloster CockpitA state-of-the-art cockpit is more than we expected from such an inexpensive little car. The start-stop button that brings the Veloster to life is located in the center stack below the infotainment system.17
- Hyundai Veloster Steering WheelThe steering wheel is pretty standard, except that it has manu-matic shifters on the back, a feature usually reserved for more luxurious vehicles. You can also manually shift via the gear lever, or leave it in automatic.18
- Hyundai Veloster Instrument ClusterThe Veloster is not a hybrid or electric car, so the instrument cluster stays pretty simple. We averaged the expected 31 miles per gallon during our travels, though you could do much better with careful driving.19
- Hyundai Veloster center stack.Every function of the infotainment system is condensed into one easy-to-use system on the center stack. While many newer cars seem to be spreading the HVAC system controls all over the dashboard, the Veloster keeps them in one location under the navigation screen.20
- Hyundai Veloster InfotainmentWe love how this image of a spunky little Veloster pops up whenever you turn on the car. Ready, racers?21
- Hyundai Veloster RadioSatellite and AM/FM radio are controlled via the info screen.22
- Hyundai Veloster NavigationHyundai must have been working on this navigation system for a while, because it functions seamlessly, a good sight better than most nav systems of just a couple years ago.23
- Hyundai Veloster Navigation 2Select your route from a variety of options on this screen, then proceed to the highlighted route.24
- Hyundai Veloster Navigation 3The Veloster allows you to choose your route via the map or by inputting the address manually or from a list of favorites.25
- Hyundai Veloster Navigation 4A subtle test of the navigation system is to see if the map is updated enough to register the fact that a road near home does not connect through to the north, a common mistake on Google Maps that has only been updated in the newest of vehicle navigation systems.26
- Hyundai Veloster Backup CameraThe Veloster backup camera marks out the safe space you have to back up, then highlights the danger zone behind your bumper. The Veloster has slightly large blind spots due to the shape of the back pillars behind the passenger windows, so this feature came in handy.27
- Hyundai Veloster Start ButtonThat start-stop button makes you feel like you're powering up a little race car. We love how it is located front and center in the dash, instead of in its legacy position by the steering column. If you don't need keys to turn on your car, why not putthe button anywhere you want?28
- Hyundai Veloster SunroofA fabulous feature of the Veloster is its one-and-a-half sized sunroof, which gives your head a little breathing room in the rakishly shaped car. Rear passengers can enjoy the window on top, too. This is the largest sunroof that would fit this roof,and it extends over the back seat.29
- Hyundai Veloster Rear WindowGood thing the sunroof has an electronic cover and the rear hatch has a sun shade fading out over the rear seat, or your passenger might get a little too much sun back there.30

I wasn't long out of university when Ocean Colour Scene made it big in the mid-90s, with grungey guitar hits like The Day We Caught the Train and The Riverboat Song. Can't say I was really into them then, but we went to see them in Dublin at the weekend and they totally rocked... it's rare enough for one Britpop singer to hit every note all night, let alone the whole band! (Well, okay, apart from Oscar on drums and piano, who belted one out during the encore and was pretty dire...)

Investment in shale gas won't be sustained if US natural gas benchmarks stay at their currently depressed levels, Shell chief executive Peter Voser said. US natural gas prices have fallen to their lowest point in a decade as new technologies allow producers to access vast untapped gasfields in Pennsylvania and Texas.
By SUMMAR SAID and ALEXIS FLYNN
Investment in shale gas won't be sustained if US natural gas
benchmarks stay at their currently depressed levels, Shell
chief executive Peter Voser said.
"The current prices of gas are obviously are not a price
which long-term will drive development in shale gas... so
current prices are not attractive from an investment point of
view," Voser told Dow Jones in an interview
that also touched on his outlook for 2012 oil demand.
Shell's CEO - who in 2010 oversaw the Anglo-Dutch major's $4.7
billion acquisition of East Resources and its US shale gas
assets - said he remained convinced the long-term price outlook
for the commodity remained a good one.
"Personally, I think long-term pricing in the US will go
up," said Voser.
US natural gas prices have fallen to their lowest point in a
decade as new technologies allow producers to access vast
untapped gasfields in Pennsylvania and Texas.
And the world's biggest energy firms have been quick to snap
up any available assets: companies like Shell, ExxonMobil and
BHP Billiton have all spent billions of dollars harnessing vast
acreage positions in the country.
However, many of these investments require sustained gas
prices of $3 to $4 per million British thermal units to cover
their costs.
Natural gas futures Friday fell 2.5 cents, or 1%, to
recently trade at $2.580 mBtu on the New York Mercantile
If this level were to be sustained, it could increase
pressure on producers to scale back output in a bid to
stabilize prices.
However, the long-term investment thesis of companies like
Shell is that global demand for natural gas will continue to
rise as developed and developing economies increasingly switch
from coal and oil.
Separately, Voser said the world's oil needs would likely be
matched by supply in 2012.
"Oil demand this year will be under pressure, and growth
will clearly be lower than last year or the year before, but at
the end I see the long-term oil demand still growing after
2012," said Voser.
While crude markets are supplied on the short term, in the
long-term demand will outpace supply, said Voser.
"Oil prices are volatile, but I don't expect them to hit
that [$147 a barrel]," he said.
When it comes to deciding whether or not Shell will spend
money developing a major project, the company assumes an oil
price of $50 to $90 a barrel.
"I think prices need to stay at certain level in order for
us to invest," said Voser.

The world would use much more energy if it was provided. There is also a requirement for us to replenish both oil and gas. This is something we know how to do. Our options tell us reserves are not keeping up with needs.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Consumers are being battered on all fronts and offers from companies to help get them out of debt are extremely tempting in troubling times. Offers of debt negotiation, debt settlement, and debt elimination are three different options available to consumers. Better Business Bureau advises consumers to ensure they understand these critical differences before enlisting the help of a company to manage their debt or they could end up making their current financial situation worse.
The unemployment rate in the US rose from 7.2 to 7.6 percent in January according to the U.S. Department of Labor and more families are struggling to make ends meet. While the unemployment rate continues to rise, so do complaints filed with BBB against companies that claim to help consumers manage their debt. In fact complaints against debt consolidation and negotiation companies rose by almost 19 percent in 2008 over the previous year.
"Consumers are bombarded every day with ads and e-mails offering services to manage or reduce debt and it's hard to know which offer will work for them, let alone if the company can be trusted," said Steve Cox, BBB spokesperson. "Families in debt may think their situation can't get any worse, but trusting the services of some debt negotiation, consolidation or elimination firms can actually lead to increased debt and bigger headaches."
To help consumers understand various options for dealing with debt, BBB offers a brief explanation of debt negotiation, consolidation and elimination services and tips on finding help to deal with debt:
Debt Negotiation/Settlement
Debt negotiation companies claim that they will negotiate with a consumer's lenders to lower the total amount of debt owed for an upfront fee. Unfortunately, some consumers who paid for debt negotiation services found out that the company never contacted their lenders, but instead, took their money and ran. Because the debt negotiation company made it sound like they had everything under control, the consumer stopped talking directly with their lenders and ended up slipping deeper into debt. Relying on debt negotiation firms could also put a dent in a consumer's credit report.
Debt Consolidation
Debt consolidation companies offer to roll up various debts allowing the debtor to make one lower payment to the company, rather than many payments to the different lenders. While debt consolidation can make paying monthly bills more manageable, some companies tack on high fees and charge exorbitant interest rates, which means the consumer is paying much more in the long run.
Debt Elimination
Companies that offer debt elimination rely on many different schemes but they all hinge on the notion that credit lines are illegal. Debt elimination companies typically provide, for an upfront fee, a document for the lender that supposedly absolves the consumer of the debt. Unfortunately, the document has no bearing whatsoever on the debt owed and consumers paying for such services have found that they've wasted money on a debt elimination scheme that would have been better spent on actually paying back their debts.
Before enlisting the help of a business to manage debt, BBB offers the following advice for consumers.
• Stay in contact with lenders and try to work out a plan with them first before enlisting outside help.
• Always check the company out first with BBB. BBB Reliability Reports on debt negotiation, consolidation, and elimination companies are available online for free at www.bbb.org.
• Start with a credit counseling service. Credit counseling services are often nonprofits that offer financial guidance for a small fee, or even for free. Click here for more advice on choosing a credit counseling agency.
• Beware of offers that sound too good to be true. There is no easy fix for reducing debt and any company that makes huge claims and guarantees, probably can't deliver.

Knesset winter session opens

President Peres opens Winter Session of the 19th Knesset
(Communicated by the Office of the President)
President Shimon Peres (Monday, 14 October 2013) delivered a speech at the opening of the first winter session of the 19th Knesset.
He addressed the challenges and opportunities facing the State of Israel and the Knesset first and foremost the ongoing Iranian nuclear threat, "Iran is a threat to world peace, it destabilizes the region and threatens Israel. The world must judge Iran by deeds and not words, even if the words sound sweet to ears used to hearing Ahmadinejad. The deeds must be reliable, transparent, not partial and not delayed. Their outcome must be the end of Iran's ability to produce nuclear weapons; Iran must stop building its long range missiles which are built to carry nuclear warheads into the heart of Europe and even the east coast of the United States. These missiles have no peaceful or civilian purpose; they only carry a nuclear threat. The economic sanctions must continue alongside all other credible options.
The threat is real. The danger is real. Action must be demanded of Iran. President Obama's stance is clear, unambiguous and uncompromising, and we should relate to it as such. It is not the Iranian people but the Iranian regime which is the threat. The regime made its intention to destroy Israel clear. The regime supports Hezbollah, Hamas and the blood-soaked regime in Syria. The regime of the Ayatollah's is a threat to Israel but a danger to the entire world."
President Peres welcomed the renewal of negotiations with the Palestinians and stressed the importance of peace:
"As Jews we are obligated to seek peace and not wait for miracles to bring it about. Peace with Egypt, peace with Jordan, negotiations with the Palestinians; these are not only a strategic, security and economic interest but also a moral call enshrined in our heritage. I welcome whole heartedly the renewal of talks with the Palestinians. The talks are taking place away from the spotlight and this allows for serious negotiations to bring the two-state solution to fruition.
Negotiation is not easy. It starts with a lack of trust between the sides. It takes place when both sides see the other as foe, not friend. Peace requires compromise and this can be painful and difficult – negotiations aren't born out of trust, they create trust. We shouldn't take blind risks but neither should we miss opportunities because of skepticism and cynicism. I am aware of the dangers. I know the difficulties. In my role today I will continue to fulfill my state duties to support the peace process."
PM Netanyahu's remarks at start of Knesset Winter Session
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)
Following is an excerpt from remarks made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today (Monday, 14 October 2013), at the start of the Knesset winter session:
"It would be a historic mistake to relax the pressure on Iran now, a moment before the sanctions achieve their goal. There can be no giving in at this time and the pressure must be continued. It must be remembered that it is international pressure which has led to internal change in Iran, which has led the Iranians to any concessions at all and to the negotiating table, and which can bring them to make tangible concessions on their military nuclear program.
I will tell you something that goes against the accepted view – easing the pressure will not strengthen moderate trends in Iran. On the contrary, it will strengthen the uncompromising views of the real ruler of Iran, the Ayatollah Khamenei, and will be seen as a significant victory by him.
I think that many in the world understand that nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran endanger not only Israel. Iran is continuing, unhindered, to develop inter-continental missiles that are capable of carrying nuclear warheads. These missiles can reach all parts of the Middle East, Europe, the US and other parts of the world as well. The entire region, and the peace of the world, would be in great danger. The Iranians openly declare that this is their intention and therefore, Israel will not allow Iran, which champions our destruction, to achieve nuclear weapons.
I would like to ask you what the international reaction would be if Syria were to offer to dismantle only 20% of its chemical weapons and retain the rest? This is exactly what Iran is proposing. Just as it must be ensured that Syria does not lead the international community astray, and completely dismantles its chemical weapons, so too must Iran not be allowed to continue its military nuclear program and retain its ability to break through to nuclear weapons."

Cloud computing brings with it the promise of anytime, anywhere access, low capital expenses, high performance, high reliability, high scalability, and fast deployment. However, sluggish performance can temper even the highest of expectations. Just because it's "in the cloud" is no guarantee of performance. After all, data must still travel to and from the data center.
For example, if you are using an optimized network to access your Google Apps or cloud-based CRM, those applications will respond and deliver dramatically faster than if you used an inefficient network. If your cloud-based applications are sluggish and unpredictable, it may not be the cloud provider's problem. It might just be a problem with your network. By improving network performance, cloud performance improves as a result.
Software defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization, and other concepts can be used to improve sluggish hardware and software performance in cloud-based and WAN environments.
What are SDN and Network Function Virtualization?
According to an article published last month on NetworkWorld.com, Impact of Today's Hardware and Software Applications in Cloud-based Environments: Part 1, Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization are two potential solutions to cloud performance issues. SDN dates back to about 2006 and has been used primarily for improving the performance of data centers. Network function virtualization is a newer technology that helps to improve network flexibility and service time-to-market.
Software defined networking essentially separates the network control plane from the forwarding, making it easier to optimize these separate planes individually. The benefits of using SDN include:
. Reduced capital and operational expenses - With SDN, the need for purchasing purpose-built, ASIC-based networking hardware is reduced. Because network elements are programmable and the network is controlled algorithmically, networks are easier to design, deploy, manage, and scale. This results in lower operational expenses and reduced human error.
. Improved flexibility and agility - Organizations can quickly respond to changing business needs.
Network function virtualization removes network functions from hardware appliances. These functions, such as DNS, caching, NAT, and intrusion detection no longer reside in dedicated hardware boxes; instead, they are handled by software. NFV can support a fully virtualized infrastructure and deliver similar benefits to SDN.
For example, since hardware requirements are reduced, operational expenses such as power and cooling expenses are also reduced. Perhaps the biggest benefit of NFV is that the time to deploy new networking services is dramatically reduced. NFV also allows for much faster scaling of services.
According to Aryaka, SDN concepts need to extend into the WAN to improve WAN performance. If limited to just the data center, as SDN is commonly used, only the data center will realize the full benefits. What about the WAN that accesses the data center?
Aryaka's global network has MPLS-like and SDN-like capabilities. Software elements, virtualized network functions, QoS, firewalls, and WAN Optimization solutions are built into the global network resulting in improved network and cloud performance.

CD Projekt Red, the developer of "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," has provided an explanation as to why the multiplatform next-generation video game won't be released this year as originally planned. According to a report from Game Planet on March 12, the studio sent an open letter to fans mentioning that the decision was "difficult, thoroughly considered, and ultimately clear and obvious."
Although CD Projekt Red could have released "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" in 2014, the delay will help the development team improved on the quality of the open-world action role-playing game to a level that will satisfy both the company and players. As a result, the release date for the software product has been pushed back to the second month of 2015. You can check out some screenshots from the third entry into "The Witcher" series in the slideshow gallery to the left of this article and the explanation below:
The decision we made was difficult, thoroughly considered, and ultimately clear and obvious. We could have released the game towards the end of this year as we had initially planned. Yet we concluded that a few additional months will let us achieve the quality that will satisfy us, the quality gamers expect from us. Consequently, we have set the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for February 2015.
"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" is one of the most anticipated next-generation video games for the PS4 and Xbox One. The new consoles give CD Projekt Red the ability to increase the visual fidelity in addition to adding open-world elements. However, the studio will need a little bit more production time than originally planned.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is the North American publisher for "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," which is also coming to the PC along with the PS4 and Xbox One platforms.

Counting calories, cutting carbohydrates and keeping up with your calisthenics can get monotonous. Now a new study offers a way to spice up your diet doldrums. Researchers have discovered that sex can be counted as a "significant" form of exercise, reported the Daily Express on Jan. 8.
Conducted in Canada, the study showed that you can burn as many calories in an hour of making love as in a 30-minute jog:
- Men burn 120 calories during 30 minutes of sex.
- Women burn 90 calories.
To conduct the study, University of Quebec researchers analyzed 20 couples who were told to have sex once a week for a month and jog on a treadmill for 30 minutes. The couples wore fitness trackers to determine the precise number of calories burned.
And when compared to other activities, researchers reported that sex is better for burning calories than taking a walk.
Want more ways to burn calories outside the gym? Try these:
- Do housework for 30 minutes to burn 266 calories.
- Vanderbilt University Medical Center researchers discovered that laughing for 10 to 15 minutes a day burns 40 calories.
- Sing to burn 136 calories an hour.
- Go shopping or clean out your closet and focus on changing clothes. Each time, you're burning 11 calories per garment.
And for ways to improve your weight loss that are diet-related:
- Drink eight pints of iced water to burn 123 extra calories (the amount needed to heat that water up to body temperature).
- Eat in front of a mirror. Researchers discovered that people ate one-third less food if they had to watch themselves eat.

Novartis (NYSE:NVS) looks to be the next big pharma to face a breakup. In this video, Motley Fool health-care analyst David Williamson looks at a potential repositioning of assets with Novartis, as reports still linger that the company is negotiating with Merck (NYSE:MRK) over an exchange of NVS's animal health business for Merck's over-the-counter business.

|Limon, Colo.
|High School:
|Varsity Reserve
2005 (Sr.)�He played in all 13 games, including the Champs Sports Bowl, with two starts (versus New Mexico State and Texas in the Big 12 title game), as he was one of 42 candidates on the official watch list for the inaugural Ronnie Lott Trophy. He was in for 280 plays from scrimmage, registering 14 tackles (12 solo), with five third down stops, two pass deflections, a forced fumble (at Kansas State) and two interceptions, against Kansas and Texas in the Big 12 championship. He also caught a blocked field goal in mid-air and returned it 68 yards against NMSU, though he fumbled the ball back to the Aggies at the end of the play. Against the Longhorns the second time around, he matched his season high with four tackles, including three third down stops; the interception was his third at Reliant Stadium, as he had two in the Houston Bowl the previous December. He also had four tackles, all solo, in the season opener against Colorado State. In the preseason, Athlon selected him as a third-team member on its preseason all-Big 12 team. He missed the last half of spring drills due to an injured knee; though a severe sprain, it did not require surgery and he was able to participate full-go in fall camp.
2004 (Jr.)�He saw the first game scrimmage action of his career, earning the reputation of almost always being in the right position to make the play as he saw time at mainly free safety but had some snaps on the string side as well. He played in all 13 games, with five starts including the Houston Bowl, with his first start coming in a win against Iowa State. In 10 games on defense, he saw action for 473 snaps from scrimmage and racked up 28 tackles (15 solo), with two for losses. He also had four third down stops, three passes broken up and an interception (he returned it 23 yards against Kansas State that set up a CU field goal). He had a career-high seven tackles, with two solo, in the Big 12 title game against Oklahoma, and he had six in the two wins leading up to the game, against K-State (five solo) and at Nebraska (four unassisted). He capped off the year by being named the most valuable player on defense in the 33-28 win over UTEP in the bowl game, as he had two interceptions, four tackles (all solo), two third down stops and a pass deflection. One pick led to a missed field goal try early in the third quarter, with the other coming with 11:10 remaining and the Miners at the CU47; it set up the winning points, as six plays later, the Buffs went ahead for good. He was the team leader in special team points, as he won the annual competition with 13 on the strength of six tackles (four solo, two inside-the-20), three knockdown blocks, a recovered onside kick and an interception to thwart a 2-point PAT try by Nebraska. He had a solid fall camp, ending the sessions second on the depth at free safety and a scholarship in hand, as the coaches awarded him one on September 1. He had eight tackles (all solo) in the three main spring scrimmages.
2003 (Soph.)�He played in six games on special teams only, the first five and the finale as he missed six games with a hand injury. He had one knockdown block on return unit duty. He moved from receiver over to defense for spring drills, where he practiced at free safety for the first time. He had five tackles, including three solo and a third down stop at his new position in the three main scrimmages.
2002 (Fr.-RS)�He was to be moved to receiver (from quarterback) for spring practice, but he injured a knee in conditioning in February and did not participate in drills. He was 100 percent by August, and made the move then; he dressed for nine games, but did not see any action.
2001 (Fr.)�Redshirted; he practiced at quarterback the entire fall.
HIGH SCHOOL�He was the recipient of the 30th annual Fred Steinmark High School Athlete of the Year Award, presented by the Rocky Mountain News (one of the state's most prestigious prep honors). As a senior, he earned first-team all-state honors at both quarterback and defensive back. He completed 80-of-155 passes for 1,928 yards and 21 touchdowns as a senior (with only eight interceptions), also rushing for 450 yards and seven scores on 50 attempts. On defense, playing strong safety, he made 60 tackles and had three interceptions, returning all three for touchdowns. As a junior, he completed 55-of-130 passes for 1,101 yards and nine scores, and threw for 850 yards as a sophomore. Limon was 10-3 his senior year, 9-3 his junior year, 3-5 his sophomore season and 9-1 his freshman campaign under coach Dave Grimes. He lettered four times in baseball (shortstop/pitcher) and was a two-time first-team all-state selection, as he hit five home runs and batted .410 as a senior, when he was also 6-1 with a 2.34 earned run average. He lettered four times as well in track (hurdles, relays), with career bests of 14.9 in the 110-meters and 40.01 in the 300-meters (both school records); he was second twice in the state meet in the 110 and third three times in the state in the 300. He picked up three more letters in basketball (guard/forward), averaging 18 points and 10 rebounds per game as a senior when he was first-team all-state. Thus, he earned 15 total varsity letters as a prep standout.
ACADEMICS�He is earning a double major in business (accounting and finance) at Colorado. A first-team Academic All-Big 12 team member as both a junior and senior, he is also a four-time member of the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll. He earned CU's prestigious 4.0 Club Award for a perfect grade point average his second year in college, and as a senior, he was awarded the team's Dean Jacob Van Ek Award for academic excellence. He was the valedictorian of his senior class at Limon, as he was an honor roll student throughout high school in maintaining a perfect 4.0 grade point average, twice earning prestigious Army Reserve Scholar Athlete honors.
PERSONAL�Born February 10, 1983 in Hugo, Colo., and grew up on a ranch in eastern Colorado. Hobbies include hunting and fishing. A brother (Jim) played college football at Bethany, and a sister (Linn) played small college volleyball. He was the recipient of a National Football Foundation Scholarship for his senior year.
