One of his most impressive wins came at East Moline, Illinois, when he took the $12,000-to-win Fall Harvest Shootout against a star-studded field. "To get a win against the caliber of guys that were there is really a big deal for me," Van Wormer says
The caliber of the competition, in fact, is the one thing that stands out in the sport, he adds.
"Heck, in the big races, there are really 50 drivers capable of winning. You really have to have things together to win those races. I don't know immediately if the car is right. Things are changing all the time and you have to try to stay up with them. I try to go forward at the end of the race. One thing that you don't have any control over is when the tires seal over. When that happens, you are through."
Jeep Van Wormer's Keys to SuccessDriving For the young guy who has goals to drive a Dirt Late Model in the future, my recommendation would be for him to begin in an inexpensive Super Stock car. With that car, you could learn how to handle the car, drive in a pack, and how to win. It also helps you prevent making mistakes on the track
I wouldn't recommend using an open wheel Modified which is more costly and has a higher tire bill.
If your budget allows, the use of a crate Late Model would also be a good learning tool. The advantage is that you are driving a Dirt Late Model chassis, but with a less powerful engine. And with less horsepower, you have a car that handles somewhat different than a real Dirt Late Model
Technology I think that you have a huge advantage if you have an understanding of, and a capability to work on, your own racecar. If you look around, there is a good percentage of the drivers that cannot set up their cars. But rest assured, all the top-gun drivers do their own car setup

Enraged Islamists pushed back against the toppling of President Mohammed Morsi, as tens of thousands of his supporters marched in Cairo on Friday, July 5, 2013 to demand his reinstatement and attacked his opponents. Nighttime clashes raged with stone-throwing, firecrackers and gunfire, and military armored vehicles raced across a Nile River bridge in a counterassault on Morsi's supporters. Mayhem nationwide left at least 10 people dead and 210 wounded as Morsi supporters stormed government buildings, vowing to reverse the military's removal of the country's first freely elected president. Among the dead were four killed when troops opened fire on a peaceful march by Islamists on the Republican Guard headquarters. Egypt's military announced on Wednesday, July 3 that it has suspended the Islamist-backed constitution and called early elections, replacing President Mohammed Morsi with the chief justice of the Supreme constitutional Court.

Indianapolis -- Say goodbye to star power, and give a big welcome to "quiet but deadly,"
which is the biggest untold story of the AFC champion Indianapolis Peytons (I mean, Colts.)
It's the story about Indianapolis' defense.
That's right, the Indianapolis Peytons (I mean Colts) also play defense -- and they played it well enough to push the Colts to Super Bowl XLIV against the New Orleans Saints on Feb. 7 in Miami.
Sure, Indianapolis couldn't have done it without Manning's talents -- that's why he won his fourth league MVP award this season.
And, yes, Manning leads the Colts' offense with a surgical brilliance that even baffled the league's top-rated defense -- the visiting New York Jets -- in a 30-17 win Sunday.
But some noted experts in the NFL believe the most overlooked reason for the Colts success is that "D," and they point to Sunday's game as the perfect example.
The Jets came in with the league's top-rated running attack, promising anyone who would listen they could keep Manning off the field by gouging the Colts on the ground.
But by game's end, it was the Colts' defense -- previously known mostly for being small and quiet -- that could do the talking (they held New York to 86 yards on 29 carries). They were that good while the game still was in doubt, and they were even better when the Jets had to resort to passing.
"No one gives that defense much thought, because Peyton is always the headliner -- and for good reasons," said Boomer Esiason, a former All-Pro quarterback turned broadcaster. "But that defense is really, really good. They may be the fastest unit in the league. They seldom give up big plays, and they always keep the Colts in the game.
"They give Peyton the opportunity to win those close games, and they had a lot of them this year. In my opinion, this is probably the best defense Peyton has had to work with."
It didn't happen by accident.
Shortly after Jim Caldwell was handed the coaching reins by the retiring Tony Dungy, he did something very un Dungy-like: He fired the assistants responsible for two glaring Colts problems -- the defensive coordinator and specials teams coach.
The quiet humanity that made Dungy one of the most-loved coaches in the game also was his Achilles heel. In 13 years as a coach with the Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dungy never fired an assistant. Through much of Dungy's reign, Indianapolis' defense had a well-earned reputation of being too porous against the run, too soft in coverage.
That image didn't change, even as the Colts added new players.
Well, Caldwell brought that talk to an end.
He brought in Larry Coyer of Tampa Bay as defensive coordinator. By season's end, the Colts' defense still had the outstanding speed which has long been a trademark, but now it was tougher against the run and much less predictable in pass coverage. Remarkably, they achieved that improvement even after losing Pro Bowl safety Bob Sanders for most of the season, and starting a rookie free agent, Jerraud Powers, at corner when veteran Marlin Jackson was limited.
Under Coyer's direction, Indianapolis entered the AFC title game allowing 17 points per game. Yet the only defense that got headlines before the game were the Jets.
They were good, and they didn't mind telling the world about it. They came to town with self-described swagger, voicing confidence in their ability to shut down Indianapolis Peytons (I mean, Colts). Meanwhile, Colts defenders kept with a long-standing Indianapolis tradition: Keep quiet.
"We like let our play on the field do the talking," linebacker Gary Brackett said. "We never worry about that stuff before the game."
An old sport adage goes "it ain't bragging if you can do it."
The Jets bragged last week. The Colts defense didn't have to.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A Tiger Woods penalty, not a disqualification, was levied at the Masters 2013 today under Rule 26 and Rule 33. Tiger Woods got a penalty for actions on the 15th hole. The Masters ruled that Tigers Woods's penalty should be an "assessed a two stroke penalty", not a disqualification, under Rule 26. Officials ruled that a "penalty of disqualification was waived by the Committee under Rule 33″ against Tiger.
What did Tiger Woods do wrong to get the penalty, and from which hole did Tiger Woods get his Masters 2013 penalty today? The confusion erupted this morning prompting an immediate news statement by Augusta National.
Officials told news "Yesterday afternoon, the Rules Committee was made aware of a possible Rules violation that involved a drop by Tiger Woods on the 15th hole." They added "In preparation for his fifth shot, the player dropped his ball in close proximity to where he had played his third shot in apparent conformance with Rule 26. After being prompted by a television viewer, the Rules Committee reviewed a video of the shot while he was playing the 18th hole. At that moment and based on that evidence, the Committee determined he had complied with the Rules."
So why did Tiger get a penalty and not a disqualification? "After he signed his scorecard, and in a television interview subsequent to the round, the player stated that he played further from the point than where he had played his third shot. Such action would constitute playing from the wrong place." Officials also told news "The subsequent information provided by the player's interview after he had completed play warranted further review and discussion with him this morning. After meeting with the player, it was determined that he had violated Rule 26, and he was assessed a two stroke penalty. The penalty of disqualification was waived by the Committee under Rule 33 as the Committee had previously reviewed the information and made its initial determination prior to the finish of the player's round."

In his 13 years on stage, Vittorio has tried to show audiences a new way to see the world - slightly skewed, a bit quirky and governed by cartoon law. Hailing from the streets of Welkom, this Italian-born stallion left home and successfully navigated the many pitfalls of a world with shoes and electricity in his travels around SA. From shoe sizes to the inner workings of the Roman Army; from heavy metal to relationship jargon, this comic takes the world, turns it sideways and gets us to see it as it could be if we'd all just reach behind our backs, pull out a cream pie, throw it and learn to laugh.
Vittorio Leonardi began his career on August 27th, 1999 and has been a stand up comedian for 13 years. Added to that, he is also an accomplished improvised comedian having performed with the Joe Parker's Improv Express and The Starship Improvise for over 9 years. He has been invited to give three talks on comedy by Toastmasters South Africa and twice by Mensa. He has also delivered talks on the mechanics of comedy to the Grade 9 drama classes of St. Mary's Diocesan School for Girls in Pretoria. Vittorio has been the resident MC at various comedy nights across Gauteng including Tanz Café in Bryanston, News Café in Faerie Glen and The Venetian Show Bar in The Marco Polo Casino.

This flying boat, manufactured by the Short Brothers and called the Cavalier (each individual plane was given a name that started with "C") carried passengers between Long Island and Bermuda in the late 1930s until it was lost January 21, 1939 en route to Bermuda. There were 10 survivors and 3 fatalities.

William B. Atwater, c. 1930
William B. Atwater, early Port Washington aviator, entered races, flew to Bermuda, and set speed records.
He also had a bit of legal trouble, according to this New York Times article from August 28, 1915:
Under a decision handed down yesterday by Judge Julius M. Mayer in the United States District Court, William B. Atwater of Central Valley, N. Y., the aviator husband of Lillian Platt Atwater, widow of Senator Thomas C. Platt, must either turn over $5,000 to Jacob A. Decker, his trustee in bankruptcy, by Sept. 1, or be committed to Ludlow Street Jail.
Atwater was adjudged guilty of contempt of court by Federal Judge Charles M. Hough last November for failing to comply with a ruling of Referee in Bankruptcy Walter C. Anthony of Newburg, requiring him to pay the $5,000.
Atwater's defense is that he is practically penniless and cannot comply with the court's ruling. When examined before United States Commissioner Tallman he produced $4 and said that his wife had given it to him. His only bank account, he said, is 59 cents, and his interest in his grandfather's estate, which is small and depends upon his outliving his mother. Atwater told Commissioner Tallman that aviation is his only means of earning a living, and that because his wife objects to it he has been doing nothing but looking after her estate, receiving only spending money from her for these services. Judge Mayer in his opinion characterized Atwater's testimony as "indefinite, unsatisfactory, and not worthy of belief."
In 1912 Atwater made a trip around the world, accompanied by his wife, and made from 200 to 250 flights. He received for these exhibitions, according t0 the referee's report, between $60,000 and $100,000, which he asserts he turned over to his wife.
View of Hangars on Manhasset Isle, 1938
View of Manhasset Bay, in front of Pan American hangar on Manhasset Isle. Notice the flying boat that just landed!
The hangar floors were absolutely without a grease spot on them anywhere, the docks and floats were freshly painted, and a big signal mast with the national colors flying. It was quite a handsome base altogether.

"NOT JUST A CRUISE, not just the treasure isles of Bermuda, not alone the fact that you travel there by air (in 5 hours from New York) but all three put together . . . AIR CRUISES to BERMUDA. Where could be found a more perfect combination, a more perfect vacation?
"A typical itinerary takes you out of New York (Port Washington) aboard America's giant ocean-going flying boat, the U. S. A. Bermuda Clipper or Great Britain's ocean airliner, the R. M. A. Cavalier. Reclining in the easy comfort of your sky-chair first come colorful aerial vistas of continental coastline, ocean and fairy castles in the clouds; next that famous '300 mile luncheon'; and in a few minutes less than 5 hours aloft you are in old-world Bermuda.
"Simultaneously gayest and most simple, quaintest and most comfortable, Bermuda is they playground of the north Atlantic. Waft by the ocean's cool breezes in summer, by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream in winter, the islands abound in opportunities for sport, for gaiety and for relaxation.
"There is so much time to spend . . . because so much time has been saved in transit! Almost all is yours to be passed on the glistening beaches, at golf, sailing, fishing, or in leisurely trips over the Islands. And whenever you plan to return you are whisked back to New York within another five hours.
"Cruises from 7 to 16 days, cruises within 2 thrilling flights and more than 94 per cent of your time to spend in Bermuda. And all for little more than it costs to live at home. Where else an equal travel treat? Where else a more delightful vacation? Glance at the itineraries outlined within, choose your cruise, then call your travel agent for details and your ticket."

King's Day, formerly Queen's Day, in Amsterdam is a can't-miss annual celebration. Taking to the waterways and streets alike, joyous crowds flood the city for the full day event. A perfect addition to the celebration is Ketel One Oranje, an appropriate color for the orange-saturated extravaganza, which is served in many of the cocktails, copper kettle services and simply on the rocks throughout the city. Party boats float through the canals with their own DJs, smoke machines and confetti as onlookers waive from the sidewalks, and the atmosphere is as vibrant and fresh as the newly-bloomed tulips of Amsterdam.
Raucous spectators and jubilant attendees line the streets as we float down the canal, orange confetti sprinkles the air under clear blue skies speckled with white, fluffy clouds. The historic city floats by with momentous chapels and clocktowers alongside contemporary homes and office buildings; boats of every shape and size crowd the canals. The music from our DJ makes adjacent vessels dance and cheer, a fog machine adding to the spectacle as we enjoy Ketel One cocktails and copper pot service complimented with canapés on the water.
Passing under several bridges, some we have to duck under, the spectator-lined streets are a sea of orange. Everything from confetti to water balloons are being tossed in the air and smiles can be seen stretched on every face. On the sidewalks, Amsterdamians barter everything from clothing to coffee, even children trading toys and wares. Photo booths and karaoke stands pepper the stalls, entertainment at every turn in the city.
A buzz of orange and energy permeate the air as we walk back to our hotel; flowers bursting with color as much as the outfits in the busy city streets. Food items being hawked at every turn, the delicious smells intermingle with the calls for customers.
Back at the Andaz, Prince Canal continues a constant parade of floating parties as we return to our rooms. Exhausted by dancing all day, I look to see the jubilation continue on without me, and vow to return for another King's Day celebration.

SEC suspends trading in SCO shares
Going private the hard way
THE BANKRUPT SOCK PUPPET of Microsoft, The SCO Group saw trading in its shares suspended by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) yesterday for not having filed SEC reports in over two years.
SCO is the company that had daft dreams of making billions by extracting 'licences' from Linux users. It sued IBM and Novell in attempts to claim that Linux infringed Unix SVRX copyrights that it didn't even own. It lost in court to Novell, twice, although it still has a last ditch appeal pending. In the process it took refuge in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, from which it has never emerged. Substantially all of its few remaining assets are expected to be sold off soon.
The trading suspension is temporary, through 18 April, pending an administrative court hearing. According to a comment posted at Groklaw, such hearings are often perfunctory.
Groklaw member _Arthur wrote, "If a company choses to contest its upcoming revocation, the company must state that its accounting and its audit [are] underway, with the corroborating testimony of their auditor."
Apparently most companies in such straits with the SEC never bother to show up at those hearings, and thus their stock is revoked. The hearing is expected to be held within 30 days.
Another Groklaw commenter noted that "for many weeks the stock has closed under 5 cents; recently at 3 cents."
If and when SCO's shares are revoked they will become worthless, of course. The INQUIRER knew SCO's stock would eventually become worthless after it attacked Linux eight years ago. µ

On March 4th, FedSmith published an article analyzing the lifecycle investment choices for federal employees. These particular lifecycle funds are within the federal government's Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) which is only available to federal employees and military personnel. The TSP in similar to a 401(k) plan in the private sector. Similar funds are available for any investor through many mutual fund companies.
For federal employees, the TSP is a good deal. It has the lowest expense rating of any investments available through mutual fund companies. It is even lower than Vanguard, usually considered the fund company with the lowest expenses available.
Jason Zweig, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal observed: "The TSP funds are dirt cheap. The average U.S. stock index fund charges 0.59% in annual expenses, or $59 per $10,000 invested. The TSP funds charge just 0.025%, or $2.50 per $10,000–less than one-20th the cost." (emphasis supplied)
Federal employees that invest in the TSP have the advantage of investing in funds that have cut expenses to the bone compared to other options available. The C fund, based on the S&P 500 index fund, usually beats or ties the S&P 500 index.
A lifecycle fund provides automatic diversification. It is an investment for those who do not like to take the time or make the effort to balance their investments between various stock and bond funds. For older investors, there is a greater percentage of the fund invested in bonds and less in stocks. For younger investors with a longer time before they retire, there is a much smaller percentage invested in bonds and more in stocks.
For federal employees under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), investing in the TSP should be an easy decision. For new employees:
- An employee's agency automatically enrolls an employee in the TSP and 3 percent of basic pay is deducted and deposited in the traditional balance of your TSP account.
- The employee starts receiving automatic agency contributions equal to 1 percent of pay from the agency — beginning with your first pay period.
- An employee receives agency matching contributions equal to 3 percent of pay from the agency — beginning with the first pay period.
An employee can opt to invest in one of the lifecycle funds or another fund. For many new employees who are not experienced or knowledgeable investors, the lifecycle fund may be the best choice to start investing.
Here are some of the advantages of a lifecycle fund, or a similar fund with a different name.
- Less risk through broader diversification: Each fund will normally invest in an index fund giving the investor broad diversification among types of investments.
- A professionally managed asset mix: Fund managers will gradually shift each fund's asset allocation—to fewer stocks and more bonds—making the fund more conservative the closer you get to retirement.
- Automatic rebalancing: The managers will maintain the current target mix, freeing you from the hassle of ongoing rebalancing.
A company such as Vanguard has these types of funds available to anyone who wishes to invest in them as long as the investor meets some minimal requirements.
For most investors, consulting with a tax adviser is a good idea as it will give the investor a better idea of how to invest and to minimize taxes. A lifecycle fund, for example, can be used in an account where the investment proceeds build up without paying taxes until money is withdrawn. For others, using such an account may be a good investment even if taxes must be paid each year on the profit in the account.

An Independence Day boating accident on Lake Havasu, bordering California and Arizona, left Marine Lance Corporal Chad Ryan Brammer, 23, dead. Brammer, stationed aboard Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms was visiting friends for the holiday weekend in the greater Lake Havasu area when a fun day on the water turned deadly.
According to authorities, the incident took place about 3:00 p.m. in the lake's South Basin area located across from Copper Canyon. The fatal accident is under investigation, so there are very few details available at this time.
SFGate.com said Brammer was operating a personal watercraft, unknown brand or model, when he crossed the bow of a 31-foot boat. There was no mention of the condition of the six people aboard the larger vessel. Eye-witness reports indicate Brammer was wearing a personal flotation device.
Original reporting indicates someone aboard a third vessel on scene used a cell phone to call 911. Brammer was transported to Havasu Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Lance Corporal Brammer is a native of Lambertville, Mich., and according to a statement released by his father late yesterday, had been in the Marine Corps just under two years.
As yet, there has been no official statement from the Marine Corps.
More information will be available following completion of the investigation, including eye-witness accounts, toxicology, and autopsy.

Many times, when conducting a paranormal investigation (or even simply experiencing something "going bump in the night"), we can jump to conclusions when often the experience is a product of our own mind or body. Because of this, having an assessment guide on hand during an investigation can be both empowering and helpful in determining a phenomenon's cause. Sarah Soderlund, author of the new book Haunted by the Abyss, presents a checklist of five things to consider when determining the cause of any seeming paranormal occurrence.

Theaters are considered to be homes of art, performance, music, and any other reason why someone would want to step in front of a crowd of people. Often, also, theaters carry with them tales of hauntings, ghostly apparitions, and other paranormal phenomena. So why are these spaces so frequently haunted? Alex Matsuo, author of the new Haunting of the Tenth Avenue Theater, explains.

In early 1995, the people of the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico were plunged into states of fear and hysteria. There was a very good reason for that: a terrifying, deadly monster was on the loose. It quickly, and famously, became known as the chupacabra. Nick Redfern, author of the new Chupacabra Road Trip, presents three theories that could potentially explain the existence of the mysterious "goat sucker."

Lincoln scholar Hans Holzer once remarked that, "Either Lincoln is the most peripatetic ghost in the country or people think every tall ghost is Lincoln." Many people claim to have seen Lincoln's ghost, in places ranging from the White House to practically every other place he (or his body) ever visited. So how do we separate fiction from haunted fact? Adam Selzer, author of the new Ghosts of Lincoln, explains.

The Old City Jail ("Gaol") in Charleston, South Carolina was built in 1802 right over the Provost Dungeon and a potter's field. It also served as an insane asylum and housed Union soldiers (prisoners of war). Why is this site considered so haunted? Is it due to the on-site death toll (estimated to be anywhere between 10,000 and 14,000)? Is it due to the deplorable conditions? Or perhaps some of its famous inmates? Jamie Davis, author of Haunted Asylums, Prisons, and Sanatoriums, went to explore.

This book was complied in 2010 after our original wedding album was destroyed when it was stored while we were on Macquarie Island. Producing this book 5 years into our marriage has been a delight as we've been able to relive the day and take the time to savour the experiences we've had since our marriage. It seems we have had the great fortune to appreciate the wishes our friends and family made for us on our wedding day; we certainly have had many adventures, extreme make overs and magic, and our lives have grown very much together. We are just now starting on the rest of our lives and are looking forward to the next adventure.

Alot of women do different types of workouts; running, swimming, walking or jogging. Somehow, a majority of women are not likely to spend a half hour in a weight room or even doing some basic push-ups or squat at home. Despite the known health beneifts of resistance training, only a few women lift free weights or use weight machines. By doing weight training two times a week, it is an essential part of the total wellness package. Women should do a combo of aerobic and strength training on a regular basis.
Weight training could change your body, boost your mood and keep you looking younger. Muscle burns an estimated three times more calories than fat, adding two to four pounds of muscle can translate into an extra 100 calories burned each day. Couple weight training with cardio and the benefits are fabulous. By the way, you will not end up looking like a huge wrestler. It's almost impossible to build bulky muscles like a guy. Women simply don't have the hormonal makeup to get as muscular as men. Remember, combining resistance training with regular cardio is going to help you look leaner as you become stronger. In reality, lyour body acts as a whole unit, engaging multiple muscles simultaneously. Make strength training a priority for yourself.
Update on Stephanie L. She has seen a remarkable difference in her overall weight and is down to 139.5 pounds from her original weight of 147 pounds. She's gained more confidence, energy and feels great. She is almost at her goal of 130 pounds. Keep up the good work, Stephanie.

It's probably safe to say that with some of our friends, we communicate with them almost exclusively via social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. While these networks are fine for sending typed messages and photos, however, there are times when the sound of someone's voice is much more appropriate. Video is one alternative, although many people are uncomfortable appearing on camera. That's why four graduates from the School of Informatics at Spain's Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya created uWhisp – it's a plug-in for use on existing social networks, that lets users send prerecorded voice messages.Read More

Reviews for Blue Cheese Dressing
"This is an excellent dressing recipe. I needed a blue cheese dressing to make wedge salads, and this was it."
"This makes SOOOO much dressing. It is very good, but it is too much for what I need. There is one other recipe that I have found that I like just a tad bit better and the amount is perfect. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!!!"
"Very good. Husband and kids loved it. Super easy to make."
"I do not buy store-bought dressings because they are loaded with sugar and preservatives. I have always loved blue cheese dressing but have had a hard time finding one I really enjoyed that wasn't loaded with all the bad stuff. So I tried this recipe and was very impressed. I substituted a natural non-sugar sweetener for the sugar and it was fantastic. Even my husband, who normally doesn't like blue cheese dressing, thought it was great. I plan to make this one regularly. Yum!"
"I used greek yogurt in place of s.c. is very easy, i did add bit more yogurt and vinegar. It is quite tasty."

After some ugly data out of China earlier this month, we saw a serious contraction in both Asian markets and here at home in the S&P 500. A slowdown in manufacturing is hurting consumer sentiment and ultimately weighing on GDP growth rates in China.
Unsurprisingly, negative sentiment like this has weighed on major Chinese equities and Asia stocks that trade on U.S. exchanges. Here's a short list of big-time laggards in the region:
- China Life Insurance (NYSE:LFC), -21% year-to-date in 2013
- Oil giant CNOOC Ltd. (NYSE:CEO), -19% YTD
- Telecom China Mobile (NYSE:CHL), -9% YTD
But not everyone is a China bear right now, and some think Asia stocks could be a bargain on a pullback. Aberdeen Asset Management, a group with over $300 billion under its watch and a suite of Asia-focused funds in its portfolio, believes that "the attractive fundamentals of the Asia Pacific region are too important to ignore."
Aberdeen notes the following:
"Asia is expected to expand by 5.8% in 2013 versus 2.1% in the U.S. and 0.2% in Europe. When one compares Asia's strong growth record to that of the eurozone, which has entered into a recession with growth at -0.4%, or the U.S. with growth at 2.2%, we believe the attraction for investors is clear."
The investment group also shares this really cool graphic of Asia facts:
Clearly the problem with Asia isn't growth, of course, but expectations. The fact that China continues to cool and has been coming in under GDP forecasts is a bad thing — even if, yes, Asian economies are growing briskly.
But apparently Aberdeen thinks some growth is better than no growth, and that's admittedly an argument that's valid. Theoretically, a shrewd manager may be able to find growth opportunities in Asia and sidestep some of the trouble spots.
I'm personally not buying it … partially because of the challenges for China, but also because active management is the pits. But if you're interested, Aberdeen has a host of products to play this region.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) amplicons can accommodate foreign DNA of any size up to 150 kbp and, therefore, allow extensive combinations of genetic elements. Genomic sequences as well as cDNA, large transcriptional regulatory sequences for cell type-specific expression, multiple transgenes, and genetic elements from other viruses to create hybrid vectors may be inserted in a modular fashion. Hybrid amplicons use genetic elements from HSV-1 that allow replication and packaging of the vector DNA into HSV-1 virions, and genetic elements from other viruses that either direct integration of transgene sequences into the host genome or allow episomal maintenance of the vector. Thus, the advantages of the HSV-1 amplicon system, including large transgene capacity, broad host range, strong nuclear localization, and availability of helper virus-free packaging systems are retained and combined with those of heterologous viral elements that confer genetic stability to the vector DNA. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has the unique capability of integrating its genome into a specific site, designated AAVS1, on human chromosome 19. The AAV rep gene and the inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) that flank the AAV genome are sufficient for this process. HSV-1 amplicons have thus been designed that contain the rep gene and a transgene cassette flanked by AAV ITRs. These HSV/AAV hybrid vectors direct site-specific integration of transgene sequences into AAVS1 and support long-term transgene expression.

How often do you buy a mattress? Like dining room tables and bedroom furniture, people don't purchase new mattresses that frequently. This is probably due to price and inconvenience–it is a major purchase and you need to buy the best mattress for comfort and a good night's sleep.
After a while, though, a mattress can wear out and lose its comfort level (and flipping the mattress over can be a pain).
Mattress toppers provide a less expensive way to get a good night's sleep and also help extend the life of your mattress.
Three mattress toppers were put to the ultimate rest test: the Therapedic All-Season Reversible Mattress Pad, BIOS Memory Foam Ache/Pain Relief Mattress Topper and the Sensor Gel 3" Quilted Foam Queen Mattress Topper.
The mattress toppers in this review were provided by the manufacturers for testing.
Therapedic Sherpa Mattress Pad
The Therapedic Mattress Pad is reversible making it good for the changing seasons. The mattress pad features a soft 200-thread count and 100% cotton face which the company claims makes it more breathable for sleeping drier, cooler and more comfortable during the summer. Flip it over and the Sherpa polyester plush face provides comfort and warmth for cooler temperatures.
It has a poly-knit elasticized skirt, which keeps the pad in place and fits up to 18" thick mattresses. It is stuffed with polyester high loft fiberfill, making the mattress more comfortable. The pad is also stain resistant and machine washable.
The Therapedic Mattress Pad is a less expensive alternative to mattress toppers. It provides a little more cushion than a simple mattress cover without padding, but not as much as a foam mattress topper. If you can afford to purchase both, it is probably better to use this item to provide even more padding to a mattress topper, as well as to protect mattress toppers and mattresses.
The best feature is the plush face which resembles the wool lining in Sherpa outdoor wear and is as soft and comfortable. I couldn't tell whether the mattress pad will actually make one feel cooler in the summer, since the weather was either cool or not humid enough during testing.
The suggested retail price: Twin ($69.99), Full ($79.99), Queen ($89.99) and King ($99.99) at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
BIOS Memory Foam Ache/Pain Relief Mattress Topper
The BIOS Memory Foam Ache/Pain Relief Mattress Topper (Green) is a hypoallergenic memory foam topper that the company says is "scientifically engineered for comfort and tension-relief." It has sculpting gel technology that offers enhanced pressure relief to alleviate aches and pains and also temperature regulation through breathable fabric. The open-cell memory foam is encased in a removable and washable, anti-microbial-treated cover that wicks away moisture. The skirt fits up to a 18" mattress and has a no-slip feature. It can be machine-washed and dried.
I slept well the first night without any problems. However the second night I had minor back pain and the way the foam pad was conforming to my body seemed to make it worse. Once I removed my pillow and lay flat, the pain and discomfort eased up, making me think that this occurred because I have a curvature of the spine. I then had a tester try out the mattress topper. His comments:
"The topper forms to my body and adds to the cushion of the sofa bed. Before using the topper my back would hurt sometimes after a night of sleeping wrong. [With the topper] I've slept longer and woken up earlier and refreshed. One negative: the out-of-the-box smell is strong and took a while to fade."
The BIOS Memory Foam Ache/Pain Relief Mattress Topper has a five-year manufacturer's warranty. The suggested retail price: Twin ($299.99), Full ($349.99) Queen ($399.99) and King ($499.99) at Bed, Bath & Beyond.
SensorGel 3" Quilted Foam Mattress Topper
The SensorGel 3" Quilted Foam Mattress Topper features Sensor Air infused ventilated memory foam quilted to the cover for comfort, support and breathability. The fabric is woven with engineered fibers that dissipate heat, for a more refreshing night's sleep. This is definitely the best item out of the three.
I usually toss and turn before finally falling asleep or lie awake for at least 20 minutes. The first night that I used this mattress topper on the bed, I almost instantly fell asleep. One minor problem that I had with the topper (which the manufacturer warns about in the care instructions) was the smell that apparently comes from the way the mattress topper is compressed and packed for shipping. Ideally, you're supposed to air it out before using, but if you live in a small apartment and/or have a pet and therefore don't have the space to air it out properly, you might not be able to do this. The smell did make me nauseous at first. It took nearly a week to finally dissipate. (You can use a fabric freshener, but sometimes that can make matters worse.) The smell didn't keep me from sleeping, though. It did make getting out of the bed in the more even more difficult.
The SensorGel 3" Quilted Foam Mattress Topper has a 15 year manufacturer's warranty. The suggested retail price: Twin ($440) Twin XL ($480), Full ($560), Queen ($700), King ($800) and California King ($800), at Macys.com.

Volvo not only formally severed any lasting bonds with Ford (which actually sold the brand to China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group in 2010), it has re-branded itself with the debut of its the second-generation XC90 SUV. The vehicle hadn't been updated since 2002.
"This marks a new era for our company," stated Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson. "The XC90 paves the way for a portfolio of exciting new cars to come over the next few years." He also stated that the company hopes to double is annual sales to 800,000 units within the next 6 years.
The unveiling of the XC90 comes as the culmination of a 3 years project costing nearly $11 billion to design the vehicles aswell as to build factories to create all new styling, upgraded safety technologies, more fuel-efficient engines and a more luxurious interior than the current car, including "generous space, celebration of light and focus on wellbeing, all meant to express key elements of the Swedish lifestyle, featuring leather, wood and a crystal glass gear lever made by Swedish glassmaker Orrefors," stated Volvo's senior vice president of design Thomas Ingenlath.
The XC90 also features a "touchscreen table in the center console controls vehicle functions, entertainment and communications without any buttons and provides an entirely new way for drivers to control their car and access a range of Internet-based products and services," he continued, as well as noting the new exterior design created with a " longer hood, "sharper shoulders and a more muscular body than the current vehicle, as well as new rear lights."
The public will get its first chance to see the new XC90 at the Paris Auto Show this coming October before the Volvo hits the international marketplace in the US and Europe early next year.

An Oxford, Connecticut man is charged with shooting his estranged wife and killing her and then turning the gun on his mother-in-law, critically injuring her. The Swan Lake neighborhood in Oxford was put in lock-down mode by the authorities as the manhunt for Scott Gellatly got underway, according to the Connecticut Post on May 7.
The 46-year-old man was due in court on Thursday, as his wife was seeking a permanent restraining order against Gellatly.
Lori Gellatly was granted a temporary restraining order against her husband on April 24, which was still in effect when he fatally shot his wife. The 32-year-old mother of two died from her injuries shortly after she was transported by ambulance to an area hospital.
According to the Hartford Courant, Lori Gellatly's mother, 63-year-old Merry Jackson, remains in Waterbury's St. Mary's Hospital in serious condition today. She was also a victim of this horrendous domestic shooting.
There were two toddlers in the home when this shooting occurred at 5:45 a.m., but they were unharmed. The one-and-a-half-year-old twin babies are now in the care of a family member.
Police received a 911 call from Lori Gellatly at her Sioux Drive residence at about 5:45 a.m. and she stated that her estranged husband was trying to break into the house. He then forced his way in and shot the two women.
The next door neighbors of the Gellately's, Jim and Jacky Smith, heard three gun shots and screams coming from the house and they saw the Gellatly's garage door open and Scott run out. He left in a 2013 Ford Escape, which he took from his wife's home.
Gellatly's car was found about a mile from New England Brake and Tire Shop on Route 67 in Oxford, which had been broken into and a truck was missing. The statewide manhunt was expanded and intensified as police were notified along the East Coast to be on the lookout for the suspect who was now driving a 2012 Toyota Tacoma pickup.
Helicopters and law enforcement across the state assisted in the manhunt. Gelatly was spotted at about 11:30 a.m. in Winsted, Conn. He had rigged the truck to commit suicide with a hose from the exhaust going into the passenger cabin of the vehicle.
He was taken into custody and is currently held on $2 million bond. He will be arraigned in Superior Court this morning, Thursday, May 8, on charges. Gellatly is charged with murder, attempted murder, larceny of a motor vehicle, assault in first degree on elderly person, two counts of reckless endangerment and two counts of risk of injury to a minor.
Lori Gellatly's restraining order stated she was "afraid for my kids and myself." Scott had posted a very detailed and desperate account of the demise of his marriage on his Facebook account. This is the place he also boasted about his marriage to Lori and where he joyful celebrated the birth of his twins a few years back.
Lori Gellatly moved out of the Swan Lake home she lived in with her husband and moved in with her mother in the same Swan Lake neighborhood back in February. The log cabin-style home where the shootings took place belongs to Merry Jackson, who is fighting for her life in the hospital today. Scott and Lori Gellatly are the parents of the toddler twins, but Scott has two older children from a previous marriage.

The best thing about my cancer is that my 14-year-old twins don't even remember it—they were six then, and I disregarded the prevailing wisdom that I should share every one of my anxieties with them. They do have a slightly different mom as a result of the Big C, though, and what's changed the most is my relationships. Before cancer, I spent more time mulling what I should do or, even less productively, should have done. These days I only go to parties I want to attend.
I've also become less tolerant of ties that aren't exactly boosting my immunity; in psych-speak, I think you would say I have gotten better at drawing boundaries. Despite what you may have heard about the pink-ribbon sisterhood, cancer can test and break bonds even among survivors—and sometimes, that's a good thing.
One friendship that did not survive my illness was with the perfectly lovely woman who was with me when I was first diagnosed, who kindly drove me back from the hospital because my family was still in Italy, where we lived at the time. She set me up in her extra bedroom and took five-star care of me after my lumpectomy, until my husband and kids arrived.
Not long afterward, my friend learned she had early-stage cancer and needed a mastectomy. You'd think that would have brought us closer, because I'd want to be there for her just as she had been for me, right? At first, yes.
Actually, I've heard other women talk about tensions between friends with breast cancer whose prognoses are dramatically different, which shouldn't be that surprising. (If we can envy one another's salaries or shoes, what do you think it's like when one woman is pretty sure she'll make it and the other knows there's a high risk that she won't?) That wasn't what went wrong with my pal, though her prognosis was significantly better than mine. Instead, there was just too much difference in how we handled the whole experience. I am no slouch when it comes to processing feelings, but the day came when I couldn't spend one more ounce of energy on this lousy disease; I needed to move on. She, on the other hand, needed to keep talking about it, calling nearly every day to rage at the unfairness of having lost a breast. And what kind of bad friend wouldn't let her vent these very legitimate feelings? After a certain point, that would be me.
A year after my lumpectomy, I learned I had a new cancer, thankfully still contained in the milk ducts, and because I had already had radiation now needed a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction involving a complicated 12½-hour surgery. I was in intensive care for five days and attached to disgusting tubes for weeks. When I was finally able to drive again (though still feeling I'd been flattened by a cement truck), my friend reached me on my cell in the car to tell me again how mad it made her every time she opened a jar and felt the muscle pull in her fake boob, and I went into a full-blown panic attack. I could hardly breathe or see, and had to pull over to the curb.
We didn't fight, exactly, but something changed between us. We tried to focus on other topics, but the bottom line is that she needed to talk to me about her feelings (about me refusing to help her process her feelings) and I needed her not to. Finally, on a day when I got some wonderful work-related news, she skipped over that and went back to sharing her very real, understandable anxiety—and that was the last time we talked. Since then, she's called, written and demanded answers from my husband. But everyone has limits, and both she and cancer helped me find mine. You lose a piece of yourself any time you give up a friend. But I had to reclaim some territory I'd given away. This is not the part where I say cancer made me a better person; on the contrary, I've become much quicker with the trapdoor. And that, to my mind, is better than falling through it.

I got another dating question via email and thought today would be a good day to answer it.
Q: I wanted to give you a relationship question that is on my mind with a current on/off girl I have had... We dated for a while and she told me that she wanted to get back with her boyfriend of 6 years. I wasn't happy about this, but as of recently I have started talking to her again, and all she does is talk about how much she misses me and how she is only giving this guy one more chance, and if he screws up she will give up on him and get back with me. So Sarah, what would be in my best interest with this girl? Should I give her the time of day and try to work out what we could of had when we dated, or should I just give up and realize that it probably wont go anywhere since she seems to like to jump around with different boyfriends? - Sean
A: Sean, as hard as this might be for you, I think it is in your best interest to move on from this girl. Here is why:
1. She's leading you on. She keeps telling you that she misses you and wants to be with you, yet she has another boyfriend. If she misses you so much then the obvious thing for her to do is dump her boyfriend and get together with you. She's not doing that. She obviously is confused and doesn't know what she wants. She wants you and she wants her boyfriend, but she can't have both because it isn't fair to anyone involved. She's being very greedy in this situation and that's not a good quality in a person. She tells you she wants to be with you and misses you to keep you hooked on her. That way, you won't go looking for other girls and if her current relationship fails she has a back-up (you). Do you feel you deserve to be the back-up? Let me help you out on this one, you don't!
2. I know you must like this girl a lot, otherwise you wouldn't be holding on to this relationship. But think about this, put yourself in her current boyfriend's shoes. I don't know his name so I will just call him Mike. Mike's girlfriend is talking to another guy (you), telling this guy she misses him and that one slip up from Mike and she'll get back with him. How would you feel if you were Mike? Well guess what, you could be! What if this girl leaves Mike and gets together with you? You already know she is capable of going behind her boyfriend's back. So at that point, all you will be doing is worrying that she's doing it again, this time to you, (and she probably will be in a few months to a year after the "honeymoon" phase of the relationship wears off and you two have to actually start putting work into it.) Bottom line, this girl is making it really hard for you to trust her.
3. Sean, you deserve more than this girl. She may have a lot of appeal but so do a lot of girls in the world and not all of them are going to treat you like this. It's really unfair to you and her current boyfriend for her to be acting so selfishly. I can bet that you can find another girl who isn't so selfish and who won't make you wait around for her current boyfriend to "slip up." You are wasting your time with her by waiting around and letting her play you like this. Sure, it's nice to hear from someone "I miss you" or "I want to be with you," and she might mean those things, but as the old saying goes, actions speak louder than words. Her actions should be to dump her boyfriend, but something's holding her back. Maybe she's afraid, maybe she still has a lot of feelings for him, it doesn't really matter. That's not for you to sort out, it's her problem. Tell her you need some space and start moving on. It may really suck right now, but it won't in a few months. Keep yourself busy and go out with the guys and flirt with some single girls. Keyword: SINGLE.
Sean, believe it or not, your problem is really common... as a matter of fact, one of my good friends should read this as well... I think you know who you are.
I hope this helps and good luck out there :-)
As always, you guys have a dating question, shoot me an email or leave me a comment and I'll be happy to give you an honest, objective answer. Thanks for reading!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about a popular antibiotic, and the potential heart problems that it may cause.
Specifically, the FDA is warning that Azithromycin, sold as Zithromax (Z-Pak) and made by Pfizer, can cause a potentially fatal irregular heart rhythm in some patients. The agency is basing it's statement on a study by medical researchers as well as a company study assessing the drug's potential for causing abnormal changes in the electrical activity of the heart.
The New England Journal of Medicine compared the risk of cardiovascular death in patients who took Zithromax with those who took several other antibiotics, including amoxicillin. It found that patients who took Zithromax had higher rates of fatal heart issues.
How does this drug cause hearth problems? According to research, it can alter the electrical activity of the heart, which may lead to a potentially fatal heart rhythm known as prolonged QT interval, in which the timing of the heart's contractions becomes irregular.

Tax Court Approves Drunk Driver's Write-Off Appeal
A U.S. Tax Court Judge last week OKed a driver's attempt to write off thousands of dollars of damage to a pickup truck he wrecked while impaired.
"While it's not unusual to deduct property damage (this is claimed as a casualty loss deduction on Form 4684), the circumstances of the case — which required a judge to decide if the driver was or wasn't willfully negligent–set it apart," writes Dow ones Newswires columnist Arden Dale. "It also shows that disgruntled taxpayers can challenge the IRS, and win, on some pretty odd cases."
Taxpayer Justin Rohrs paid $40,210 for a 2006 Ford F-350 pickup in 2005. A few months later, he attended a party at a friend's house – and, as he expected he'd be imbibing, he arranged for a ride to and from home. Once back home from the party, however, he decided to drive to his parents' house. On the way there, his truck slid off an embankment and rolled over. He was arrested at the scene of the accident for driving under the influence – his blood-alcohol level was at 0.09%, just slightly over California's legal limit of 0.08%.
"His insurance company turned down a loss claim because of his arrest and DUI citation," writes Dale. "Then the Internal Revenue Service turned down his claim for a $33,629 casualty-loss deduction on his Form 1040. Rohrs took his case to Tax Court, which decided differently" – mainly because Rohrs was "reasonably unaware" that he was doing anything wrong when he got behind the wheel of his truck.
Paul Caron, a professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Law, told Dale he had a hard time understanding how a court "in this day and age would treat someone driving under the influence of alcohol as not engaged in a 'willful act or willful negligence' under the tax code."
And Chuck Hurely, CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving said the ruling was an outrage. "Taxpayer and other subsidies of drunk driving will continue until the public instructs its officials that enough is enough," he told Dale.
Dale's articles are available to Dow Jones Newswires subscribers.

|A rare Japanese Satsuma pottery two-part device for producing scents, late Edo. Unsigned, it has finely executed shells, tsuba, phoenix and floral roundels with birds in gold and enamels. It measures 11 inches high X 10.5 inches wide, or 28cm X 26cm overall. This device has been used and there are traces of ash in the base, slight staining to the sides, hairline cracks to the upper section and an old repair to the lid. The lid's rim has been bound in metal to secure the repair. This censer was called a choji-buro or clove bath and others of its type were used to heat aromatics to produce a pleasant scent for a room. It and others of its type were made at the Satsuma kilns in Kyushu for use by elite customers and for presentation.
