Even if you don't usually treat yourself to a spa facial, you should still try to get regular treatments – if you can afford it, with follow-up care at home. Why? So you can enjoy some great and long-term benefits, like warding off wrinkles and keeping the skin hydrated.
Celebrate great health! LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook!
Besides removing blackheads and exfoliating dry, flaky skin, facials help fade dark spots from long-term damage and bad habits. Almost 90% of premature aging is attributed to sun damage and smoking…even for Black skin!
But there's one other thing…skin needs change as we get older, so it's important to get the best facial for your age. A glycolic peel that's perfect for a 40-year-old could irritate a 20-something.
20s: Establish Great Skin Habits
At this age, you're probably not worrying about your skin or beauty routine. You're too busy working, hanging out with friends…and probably not eating as healthy as you should.
Perfect Facial: Deep-cleansing facials with masks of clay or kaolin (also known as china or white clay) draw out impurities – including dirt and excess oils – from skin. Fine clay particles also exfoliate, unclog pores and stimulate circulation, which nourishes cells with nutrients.
If your skin is dry or sensitive, a mask with botanical extracts of chamomile or aloe will soothe it.
Don't Forget: Good skin care should be as mindless as brushing your teeth.
30s: Manage Hormonal Skin
Hormones rule in this decade. And that can mean breakouts – from your period, pregnancy or stress. All can push oil glands into overdrive. In fact, adult acne affects 1 in 5 women between 25 and 40 years old.

According to a June 14 report from the Los Angeles Times, the results are in from the UFC 174: Demetrious Johnson vs. Ali Bagautinov card held this weekend in Vancouver. The event, which went down June 14 at Rogers Arena, featured several exciting finishes, including a knockout win from Tae Hyun Bang and a submission victory by Ovince St. Preux, who won with a gorgeous kimura in the second frame of action. However, the fight UFC fans will be talking about for a long time was the UFC 174 co-main between Tyron Woodley and Rory MacDonald.
A title shot against Johny Hendricks was on the line in the UFC 174 co-main, and both men knew exactly what was at stake. Despite facing one of the better wrestlers in the division, MacDonald rose to the occasion by turning in one of his better striking performances. The 24-year-old absolutely imposed his will throughout the 15-minute affair, battering Woodley with kicks and punches to the body.
MacDonald took home a unanimous decision victory, to solidify his place as the top contender in the UFC's welterweight division. With the victory, MacDonald earns a title shot against Johny Hendricks. That fight will likely happen in December, at the UFC's year-end card. No word yet on what's next for Woodley, but he likely remains a top 10 contender at welterweight.
Elsewhere on the UFC 174 main card, Andrei Arlovski made his grand return to the UFC cage by smashing perennial title contender Brendan Schaub, who had been riding a two-fight win streak. Arlovski, 35, turned back the clock with a vintage performance that included solid combos and excellent footwork. Arlovski absolutely moved into the top 10 in the world at heavyweight with a win over Schaub, and many UFC fans were calling for the promotion to sign Tim Sylvia immediately after the win by the Belarusian.
Also on the UFC 174 main card, Ryan Bader moved back into light heavyweight title contention with a win over Rafael Cavalcante. Bader left the judges no doubt who the better man was, as he took home a unanimous decision victory. What's next for Bader following his win at UFC 174? That's an interesting question that the UFC will need to think long and hard about.
Bader, 31, has already lost to several of the top contenders at light heavyweight, including Lyoto Machida and Jon Jones. Perhaps he could move down a weight class. Otherwise, it's looking like he still might be a gatekeeper at 205 pounds. Opening the UFC 174 main card, Ovince St. Preux notched the card's sole victory via kimura. The finish came at the 2:10 mark of the second round.
In the UFC 174 main card, Johnson put his title on the line against Bagautinov. Johnson is perhaps the fastest athletes in the UFC, but Bagautinov is a hard-hitter with serious one-punch power. The winner of the Johnson vs. Bagautinov scrap will likely fight John Dodson later this year.

The day Pope Francis was elected, I went directly to the bar. It was about noon when I first got word that white smoke had been spotted outside of the Sistine Chapel. Soon after, my phone began to flood with texts declaring "Habemus Papam!" I called up a few of my Catholic friends and we decided that the best place to watch the announcement at St. Peter's was none other than our favorite college pub.
The bar was empty so we asked the bartender to change the TV channel and ordered our first round. Our celebration had begun.
I remember the intensity in the room leading up to the reveal of our new Holy Father. When the announcement finally came, it was followed by a dramatic "Who?" None of us had heard of this beloved Cardinal from Argentina nor considered him in our discussions about possible Papal contenders. (more…)

Tobback, T. Verguieva, R.A. Woutersen. Acknowledgements: The European Food Safety Authority wishes to thank the members of the Working Group B on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources for the preparation of this opinion: D. Boskou, U.R. Charrondiere, B. Dusemund, D. Gott, T. Hallas-Møller, K.F.A.M. Hulshof, J. König, D. Parent-Massin, I.M.C.M. Rietjens, G.J.A. Speijers, P. Tobback, T. Verguieva, R.A. Woutersen. Type: Opinion of the Scientific Committee/Scientific Panel Question Number: EFSA-Q-2007-113 Adopted: 15 gennaio 2009 Published: 12 febbraio 2009 Affiliation: European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Parma, Italy Note: Send Print Cite Download Article (286.42 KB) Abstract: No abstract available Summary: Following a request from the Commission, the Scientific Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) has been asked to evaluate the safety-in-use of taurine and D-glucurono-gamma-lactone as constituents of the so-called "energy" drinks. In the present opinion the Panel evaluates the safety of taurine and D-glucurono-γ-lactone as individual ingredients of so-called "energy" drinks based on the new studies provided by the petitioner. The Panel does not evaluate the safety of "energy" drinks as such. Taurine and D-glucurono-gamma-lactone are constituents of the so-called "energy" drinks, but they also occur at much lower levels as natural ingredients in food, and they are also normal human metabolites. Previous Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) Opinions have summarized safety studies of taurine and D-glucurono-gamma-lactone, but the safety-in-use of these two ingredients at the levels of exposure expected from their use in "energy" drinks could not be established at that time. In the absence of new chronic and acute exposure data, the exposures used in this opinion are based on the data reported by the SCF in 2003, i.e. a daily mean chronic consumption of 0.5 cans per person and a high chronic exposure at the 95th percentile of 1.4 cans per regular consumer. The Panel notes that actual exposure data on "energy" drink consumption, especially for adolescents and young adults, may need to be collected. Based on the assumption that a can contains 250 mL and 4000 mg/L taurine and 2400 mg/L D-glucurono-gamma-lactone, the SCF calculated that these values result in a mean daily exposure to 500 mg taurine (8.3 mg taurine/kg bw/day for a 60 kg person) and 300 mg D-glucurono-gamma-lactone (5.0 mg D-glucurono-gamma-lactone/kg bw/day for a 60 kg person). The 95th percentile exposure of regular users would amount to 1400 mg taurine/day (23.3 mg/kg bw/day for a 60 kg person) and 840 mg D-glucurono-gamma-lactone /day (14 mg/kg bw/day for a 60 kg person). If it is assumed that this amount of chronic consumption is relevant to occasional exposure of children of 25 kg body weight, then their exposure (on a body weight basis) would be about 2.5 times higher than that for adults (60-65 kg body weight). It must be emphasized that these estimates relate to chronic exposures by average and high consuming adults, and would not reflect the occasional and sporadic exposure that might occur in children. If the frequency of exposure for children would be 2.5 times lower than for adults, then the average chronic exposure for children, on a body weight basis, would be the same as for adults. If children were to consume the adult intake of 0.5 and 1.4 cans per person only once per week, then the average chronic exposure to "energy" drinks and their constituents for children, on a body weight basis, would be one third of that for adults. These estimates for the daily exposure to taurine and D-glucurono-gamma-lactone from "energy" drinks are higher than the estimated mean daily exposure to taurine from omnivore diets which was estimated to be at most 400 mg/day, and that of D-glucurono-gamma-lactone from naturally occurring sources in the diet estimated to amount to 1-2 mg/day. The SCF Opinion of 2003 used 3 cans/day as a reasonable high (acute) consumption, this amount being higher than the 90th percentile recorded in the Austrian survey (2.6 cans/day) and being the average reported in the Irish survey for the highest number of cans consumed in a single session. The SCF also indicated that it was aware that amounts of up to 8-12 cans/day were reported by a few extreme consumers in both surveys, which would result in an intake of 4800-7200 mg D-glucurono-γ-lactone and 8000-12000 mg taurine per day, equivalent to 80-120 mg D-glucurono-γ-lactone/kg bw/day and 133-200 mg taurine/kg bw/day for a 60 kg person. The SCF Opinion of 2003 and the recent BfR Opinion mention a number of anecdotal and case reports of acute, adverse effects, including fatalities, in individuals consuming "energy" drinks, containing caffeine, taurine and D-glucurono-gamma-lactone. In these cases "energy" drinks had either been consumed in very high amounts (1420 mL), in combination with physical exercise, or more frequently together with alcohol. The Panel considers that it is possible that the effects reported in recent publications by Iyadurai and Chung, Nagajothi et al. and Terlizzi et al. could be due to the well known side effects of high caffeine intake, while the assumption of a causal relationship with taurine intake is lacking scientific evidence. Taurine Upon oral exposure taurine is readily bioavailable in the systemic circulation. The Panel concludes that new ADME data support the contention that oral exposure to taurine was not increasing taurine levels in the brain, because in rat studies, brain taurine levels did not increase after dosage. The SCF already concluded in 1999 that toxicological studies did not reveal any indication for a genotoxic, teratogenic or carcinogenic potential of taurine. It can be concluded that the NOAEL derived from a new 13-week oral neurotoxicity study in male and female rats including functional observational battery and locomotor activity tests, confirmed the NOAEL established in the prior 13-week study, described already by the SCF in 2003, of 1000 mg taurine/kg bw/day, and provided evidence for a NOAEL of 1500 mg taurine/kg bw/day for behavioural effects. The results of this study were sufficient to address the concerns raised previously, notably the observation of increased activity and possible decrements in motor skills on the rotarod. The NOAEL of at least 1000 mg/kg bw/day for pathological changes is respectively 120-fold higher than the estimated mean and 43-fold higher than the estimated 95th percentile exposure to taurine from "energy" drinks only, when calculated for a 60 kg person. Given that taurine is a natural body constituent, the Panel concludes that these margins of safety are sufficiently large to conclude that exposure to taurine at the levels mentioned above is not of safety concern. D-glucurono-gamma-lactone The SCF already concluded that the available data indicate that D-glucurono-gamma-lactone administered orally to humans is rapidly absorbed, metabolised and excreted as glucaric acid, xylitol and L-xylulose. Animals, such as rodents, which can synthesise vitamin C endogenously do so from glucuronic acid and such animals can also convert exogenously administered D-glucurono-gamma-lactone into vitamin C. However, primates, including man, and guinea pigs do not possess this metabolic pathway. The SCF concluded that for this reason, the rodent may be an inappropriate model for man in the study of the effects of D-glucurono-gamma-lactone. The Panel concludes that data in the literature indicate that synthesis of vitamin C is only a minor pathway of D-glucurono-gamma-lactone metabolism in the rat and of limited relevance to the safety assessment of exogenous D-glucurono-gamma-lactone. In 2003 the SCF evaluated a 13-week oral toxicity rat study with D-glucurono-gamma-lactone and concluded that the cause of the kidney lesions remained unclear. The petitioner has now provided data from a new 13-week oral (gavage versus drinking water) toxicity study of D-glucurono-gamma-lactone in rats, with specific focus on the kidneys. This study used the same rat strain as the previous study reported in the SCF Opinion of 2003. Extensive urinalysis and histopathological examinations demonstrated no treatment-related effects. Based on the results of this study, the NOAEL for daily oral administration of D-glucurono-γ-lactone in rats was 1000 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose tested. Toxicological studies on the genotoxic, teratogenic or carcinogenic potential of D-glucurono-gamma-lactone were not available. However, D-glucurono-gamma-lactone is a normal human metabolite formed from glucose and there are no structural alerts for mutagenicity or carcinogenicity. At physiological pH it is in equilibrium with glucoronic acid, its immediate precursor. D-glucurono-gamma-lactone and its hydrolysis product glucuronic acid are endogenous metabolites in humans and other mammals, they occur naturally in several dietary sources and are readily metabolized to innocuous products and excreted. Furthermore, in the high dose 13-week rat studies there was no evidence of any effect on the gonads which might indicate the need for reproductive toxicity studies. The NOAEL for D-glucurono-gamma-lactone of 1000 mg/kg bw/day is 200-fold higher than the estimated mean and 71-fold higher than the estimated 95th percentile exposure to D-glucurono-gamma-lactone from "energy" drinks only, when calculated for a 60 kg person. Given the fact that D-glucurono-gamma-lactone is a natural body constituent the Panel concludes that these margins of safety are sufficiently large to conclude that exposure to D-glucurono-gamma-lactone at the levels mentioned above is not of safety concern. Overall, the Panel concludes that the exposure to taurine and D-glucurono-gamma-lactone at the levels currently used in "energy" drinks and mentioned in the present opinion is not of safety concern. The ANS Panel agrees with the considerations of the SCF Opinion from 2003 on the fact that it is unlikely that D-glucurono-γ-lactone would have any interaction with caffeine, taurine, alcohol or the effects of exercise. The Panel also concludes, based on the new data available, that additive interactions between taurine and caffeine on diuretic effects are unlikely. Other interactions between taurine and caffeine were not investigated.

By P. Lal Arora, M.D., FRCPC
It is not unusual these days that when a patient is admitted to the hospital, a physician who introduces himself or herself as a Hospitalist takes care of the patient. The patient may never see his or her own physician while in the hospital.
So, who are the Hospitalists, what do they do in the hospitals?
Hospitalists are trained physicians in their own specialty and very often Board Certified in their discipline. They exclusively work in the hospitals and take care of patients admitted under their care. Since many of the patients in the hospitals these days are patients with medical problems, most of these physicians are trained in the specialty of Internal Medicine. In certain Institutions, they also work in the department of General Surgery or Obstetrics.
Who determines that they are qualified to practice in a hospital setting?
The Hospitalist may be an employee of an outside agency or be hired by a hospital. But all of them go through the credentialing process developed by the Medical Staff and applicable to any physician seeking privileges to practice medicine in a particular institution.
They are also subject to peer review, required to maintain their License and Malpractice Insurance in good standing.
How do they help the patient or the hospital they work for?
The physicians in the community usually have obligations other than their patients in the hospital. They have almost universally office practice where they spend by far most of the time. Many physicians have patients in more than one hospital. Therefore, it was felt that it would perhaps improve the efficiency, the timeliness of response to patient needs and even improve patient care if they were taken care of by physicians exclusively devoted to care in the hospital. We have now experience over the past several years and it is for the most part the feeling of the practicing physicians that the Hospitalists have met the expectations.
What do Patients think of these Doctors?
The opinions are mixed at least in our community. Some patients are very happy with the care they receive from the Hospitalists while they are in the hospital. Others feel that their own physicians would rather take care of them.
Are their any Drawbacks in the System?
There is no perfect system especially in the health care and that any system is as good as we make it.
Patient loses contact with his or her own physician at the most critical part of an illness. There may be loss of continuity in care, loss of communication between a physician taking care of the patient in the hospital and the primary care physician who may have known the patient over many years. Every Institution has guidelines to improve communication between the Hospitalist and the Primary care physician, both verbally and in the written form. For example, many hospitals have a rule that the Primary care physician must be notified of admission of a patient to the hospital, with any change in patient's condition and all the details be sent to the physician at the time of discharge in a timely fashion. Some hospitals have a policy that the Hospitalist continues to respond to the patient's concerns, need for medications for a short duration after discharge till the continuity of care is re-established with patient's own physician.
So, What I need to do when I am admitted in the Hospital under a Hospitalist?
Let the nursing staff or the physician taking care of you know that you would like your doctor notified of you being in the hospital and he/she should be called if there is change in my condition. A member of the family may do this if you are unable to do for yourself. Because of the privacy regulations, hospital staff at times is reluctant to give out this information without your or your family's permission.
Some physicians visit their patients from time to time in the hospital as a courtesy. This also facilitates personal communication among the medical caregivers. You are also at liberty to request a visit by your own physician if there are issues you or your family wish to discuss.
Remind the Hospitalist and the nursing staff that you would like all the details of your hospital stay particularly any significant changes in your condition or in the medications be conveyed to your physician in a timely fashion after you leave the hospital.
Hospitalists are a group of physicians that provide care to our patients exclusively in a hospital setting.
They provide a useful and timely service and improve care of the patients in the hospital.
The limitation of the system includes lack of continuity of care and can only be improved by enhancing communication between the primary care physician and the hospitalist doctor.

Civano Neighbors is a neighborhood association in southeast Tucson, Arizona, bounded by Irvington Road on the north, Pantano Wash on the east, Bilby Road on the south, and Harrison Road/Davis-Monthan Air Force Base on the west.
Formed in April 2002, Bylaws were adopted by the general membership on August 28, 2002, and the first Leadership Team was elected on October 21, 2002. Civano Neighbors is officially recognized by the City of Tucson.
The purpose of Civano Neighbors is to provide a forum for community dialogue and a mechanism for community action to enhance sense of place, neighbor connectivity, and neighborhood quality of life for the residents and businesses within the boundaries of the Civano Neighbors neighborhood association.
The benefits of Civano Neighbors include:
- Informed of City, development, traffic, and related decisions and activities within and adjacent to the neighborhood, as well as in southeast Tucson.
- Entitled to free funding and technical assistance activities, including grant-seeking, workshops, youth employment programs, and action planning.
- Receive free City services to enhance neighborhood communications — including annual meeting announcements.
- Provides the broadest representation of and communication among Civano and Sierra Morado homeowners, residents, businesses, and other stakeholders.
- Allows Civano and Sierra Morado homeowners, businesses, and other stakeholders to communicate on a more leveraged basis with developers and homebuilders.
Civano Neighbors is open to all residents of all ages, all non-resident homeowners, and all businesses within our boundaries. Currently Civano Neighbors does not collect dues, though we do welcome sponsorships and donations to fund our services and activities. Contact us if interested.
Unlike traditional neighborhood associations, Civano Neighbors operates on a modified consensus process that allows all sides of an issue or proposal to be heard and discussed in a free exchange of information prior to reaching consensus and moving forward. Discussions are led by facilitators from the Leadership Team or the Civano Neighbors general membership, as appropriate.
For further information, view our Bylaws.
Goals and Objectives
Civano Neighbors goals and objectives change over time. The neighborhood association has established the following working groups to help define our direction toward goals and objectives:
- Aging in Community
- Civano Legacy
- Communications
- Civano News/The Town Crier
If you are interested in participating in a working group, please Contact Us.
Additional working groups or tasks may be identified throughout the year.
Participation is Essential
Because of our consensus approach, active member participation is critical for our success. That participation begins with attending general meetings and then participating in working groups, tasks, and other Civano Neighbors activities.
Not sure where to begin? Contact any member of the Leadership Team.
For more information, please contact us.

Editor: I always enjoy the subtle and sometimes not so subtle mind of Ann Coulter. It is always refreshing to see that the inclusion of her column inspires such rancor and vitriol from the left. Truth stings when it is an uncomfortable truth pointed at their fragile point of view. Did I say fragile? I meant non-existent.
Why do the Democrats hate her to the point they want her banned? Are we entering the waters of the left wing agenda? Should we have book burnings too? Unfortunately for the current 'majority' in Congress, the conservatives have rights, too.
I am sure the left has no problem with freedom of speech, just listen to any rap lyrics to prove that point (but not Imus, he's a pariah).
Rappers raise money for the left in huge chunks. I asked some students about the language used in rap music and I was pleasantly surprised to hear a large portion of boys and girls claiming the filthy lyrics were insulting, especially coming from the girls. Good for them. A few students supported it as art, but said if someone called their mother a name like that, World War III would break out.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Let's all crucify Coulter and Prickly City, but allow Doonesbury to not only appear in the daily Opinion page but in the Sunday comics as well. I'm sure the average second graders have a firm grasp of the geo-political events in the world and will greatly benefit from the slapstick and pie-in the-face humor in Mr. Trudeau's warm-hearted and family friendly characters.
What's next, lynch Snuffy Smith?

TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE; 21 February 1824; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18240221-TC-AC-01; CL 3:33-35.
Edinr, Saturday—Afternoon [21 February 1824]—
My dear Alick,
I write to you in the greatest haste; the Carrier's affair having been as usual mismanaged. His box I did not hear of till two o'clock: and after dining and unpacking my articles, I have come up to Jack's room, where I now sit writing. Jack is gone out (to dine, they said; tho' where I cannot guess) and is not to be in again till late. The Waffler or whoever it was that brought the box, charged 1/4 for it; so that I suppose he will need no farther pay. He hurries me extremely with his movements: so I must write to you most incoherently; but better so, than not at all.
I need not tell you how glad I am to learn of your welfare: it is a blessing we have long enjoyed; but for which we can never be thankful enough. It often strikes me to the heart to think that one day this state of things must alter, and some of us be sent to "that undiscovered Country, from whose bourne no traveller returns";1 leaving for the rest a gap in the circle which can never more be filled! But it is very useless to vex one'self with the foretaste of evils which will be bitter enough when they arrive. Let us hope that the date may be distant, the blow soft, and the reunion speedy! I wonder what has put me on this serious sermonising vein. I must leave it.
Your letter is full of rugged ingenuity: but there is only one point in it, which I can find any leisure to discuss—writing in this style, at full gallop, and in another's house. I al[l]ude to the question of my homecoming. Often, often does this come thro' my own head: I long to revisit Mainhill, as if healing lay there for my afflicted carcass, and of course afflicted mind. My lodgings in Moray-street are I think of the best description, quiet, cleanly and orderly. Yet I am not in health: I do not reckon myself better, some times almost worse, than I was in the highlands. "Sleep! Sleep! O gentle sleep!"2—I do not, I cannot get enough of it. I am in consequence obliged to take drugs almost every day, and the result of this is easy enough to discover. I ask myself often what I am doing in this accursed place, which for many years has been to me the scene of woes, greater than the heart of man has formed an image of. The answer is, I am printing a book, and must hold at it for a while; but that when it is done—Quick, March! is the word. In truth, I believe, part of the secret is I am or rather was working too hard. Half the book is yet to translate: I set about doing sixteen pages of it per-day; did thus much for three days, and then felt unutterably sick and downcast. I have since been contented with nine.
In fact I believe the best plan for me will be to go on with the business leisurely; and see if I can get home to work at it[.] Riding two hours per day on Bardolph would do more for me than all the drugs in nature. The Doctor Bell I called on one day, and found just going out. I promised to call again. He said he understood I was quite well!! "Well!!!" I told him in our fathers tone. I believe him to be a consummate ass: the first morning I can get up in time, I design to go and settle with him and pay him off entirely. His mercury seems to have done me a considerable quantity of mischief; and as for the giving up of my dearest tobacco, I cannot find that it has produced in me the very smallest improvement.
You will think me very miserable, when you read this letter. But no: I am not miserable at all; only today, I am rather worse than usual; and this is after dinner. If I had a little health, there is nothing I have reason to care for the want of. Even as it is, I contrive in general to get along very reasonably. Jack comes down to me every night: we have a talk and a walk: we correct the Printer's sheets together, and are very happy. He is a kind faithful slut of a fellow. I have twice or thrice been mentioning to him my purpose of going home; but he does not seem to approve it. On the whole, I can yet say nothing definite on the subject. Next week I have to see Brewster and settle accounts with him; I shall then make investigations about the possibility of printing and living at Mainhill. I know it is possible enough: but what the extent of sacrifice is I do not know. If I grow any worse, or even no better, I will write to you in about a week, appointing to meet you.
Now my dear Alick, you must pardon all this confusion and obscurity; for I write in the most extreme hurlyburly of mind and now it is grown [too] dark to mend the matter. Write to me by the post if I delay writing home too long: it is far better than by the carrier, especially so uncertain a genius as Farries.
Thank my dear kind Mother for the eggs and cakes: I know not how I shall consume them they are so many. The eggs here are on the point of rottenness, so I had given them up. I meant to write to my Mother. But alas! it is close dark before I have finished this: and I have not yet written one line of my translation! Give my heart's love to Father and Mother and every soul about Mainhill. God bless you all forever! I am your true Brother
Th: Carlyle
The Marting[a]le3 is here, and shall be sent home, the first opportunity.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Juniper Networks, (NYSE:JNPR) dropped 10% Wednesday after the network technologist reported solid preliminary second-quarter results, but followed with weaker-than-expected third-quarter guidance.
So what: Specifically, Juniper Networks' quarterly revenue rose 7% year over year, to $1.23 billion, which translated to 38% growth in adjusted net income to $0.40 per diluted share. By contrast, analysts were only expecting earnings of $0.38 per share on sales of $1.22 billion.
For the current quarter, however, Juniper told investors to expect revenue in the range of $1.15 billion to $1.20 billion, which should result in adjusted net income per diluted share between $0.35 and $0.40. Analysts, on average, were modeling third-quarter earnings of $0.44 per share on sales of $1.26 billion.
Now what: In the subsequent conference call, Juniper Networks CEO Shaygan Kheradpir blamed the guidance shortfall on U.S.-based service providers, whose "market dynamics, including M&A activity, are impacting both sequencing and timing of projects." Kheradpir went on, "While this will impact our near-term outlook, we are well positioned with these customers with major design wins in key areas of their network including next generation projects."
It should come as little surprise, then, that Juniper Networks also announced its intention to "opportunistically repurchase" at least $550 million of common stock, in addition to its existing $1.2 billion accelerated share repurchase program by the end of this year. With shares currently trading at a low 11.2 times next year's expected earnings -- and even if those estimates come down in the near term -- Juniper Networks stock should be able to reward long-term investors from here.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

Wonda hit us with another one y'all, and why not appreciate a good thing…good tunes…Wonda. Feel me? This is a remix of the xxxy song called Can't Be Love, and Wonda, wondafully makes it something to talk about with a catchy beat and sick story. There's something you don't always see in an artist, truth. Refreshing. I'm glad he chose this xxxy song too, because if were being honest I can't stand grundge, there, I said it. It's just really not for me. Some people aren't big fans of onions. I in fact, happen to love onions. See how that works? Your not necessarily an onion lover if you love this song though, lets clear that up. I'm just saying, its a preference matter. Nothing to do with whether or not you like to eat onions and listen to this song. Ok, so back to Wonda, heres a little back round for everyone… dude used to be a baseball player. Were talking, Professional y'all…bow down. Joilet, Slammers, look it up. Unfortunately, because of injury, he was unable to continue with his baseball career. My favorite part is…. where one door closes, another opened…and now he's producing awesome music that people love and want to hear. Show some love and Get Your Earz Wet! Oh, I almost forgot to mention….There's a movie snippet from Goodwill Hunting in this number, so for all you Robin Williams and Matt Damon fans…….Wet.

Fire Bush. Vote Kerry.
Here's a couple of links that discuss the issue of
Bush Campaign Ads Using 9/11
, followed by a selection of quotes from each link:
The Bush reelection campaign yesterday unveiled its first three campaign commercials showcasing Ground Zero images, angering some 9/11 families who accused President Bush of exploiting the tragedy for political advantage. [...] "It's a slap in the face of the murders of 3,000 people," said Monica Gabrielle, whose husband died in the twin tower attacks. "It is unconscionable."
Both ads reinforce the Ground Zero imagery with frontal shots of two firefighters. Unlike the paid actors and actresses in most of the footage, they are not ringers, but their red headgear gives them away as non-New Yorkers. The Bush campaign declined to reveal where the burly smoke-eaters actually work.
"It's totally disgusting," said Dawn Peterson, whose brother died in the attack on the World Trade Center.
A White House spokesman defended the election ads, saying they emphasised Mr Bush's leadership at a time of terror. [...] "September 11th was a defining moment for our nation," spokesman Scott McClellan said.
BBC Washington correspondent Rob Watson says President Bush is campaigning on the basic pitch that you don't change leaders during a time of war.
"What I think is distasteful is that the president is trying to use 9/11 as a springboard for his re-election."
"I don't have a problem with his pointing to his leadership at that time," one woman, who lost her sister, told Reuters.
More than a dozen families who lost relatives in the Sept. 11 attacks released a letter Saturday declaring their support for President Bush and his use of images of the destroyed World Trade Center in campaign ads.
The Open Letter to America, signed by 22 people who lost loved ones in the trade center, comes as other victims families asked that the ads be pulled from the airwaves. The spots also show firefighters carrying a flag-draped stretcher.
How this administration handled that day, as well as the war on terror, is worthy of discussion. And I look forward to discussing that with the American people, he [Bush] said.

Reviews for the Shark S900C Finks White / Black / Yellow
Fantastic fit packed with features
Having used this helmet over the past month in some rotten winter weather I am amazed how good this helmet is. Perfect fit ( thanks to the inbuilt pump) and the inbuilt sun visor is perfect for low winter sun. Pinlock is a godsend and works perfectly. It's lightweight, comfortable and very stylish. Notably it is the quietest helmet I have owned, the chin guard helps with this I expect. I would recommend this lid to anyone. Brilliant secure fast delivery from Sportsbikeshop as usual with free helmet bag, Pinlock visor and helmet care kit, couldn't be happier. Many thanks.Simon Webster - Rochford
Great comfort and style
Fantastic looking helmet. Great fit with the air pump and very, very comfortable. Really happy with the sun visor as when using the air pump makes using sunnies a small problem. Great.Jon Poupard - Hastings
Great designed helmet
Super light and great designed helmet. A great new fitting design but get a slightly smaller fit than normal to stop wind noise as using the pump doesn't get rid of it all. It's not down side but a must consideration to take on board.Jason Frodsham - Ulverston

Steve Irwin's son Robert is now 8 years old, and apparently ready and able to take on crocodiles just like his late father. Photos of the boy, who goes by Bob, carrying a crocodile at the Australia Zoo have surfaced in the media, bringing many to reminisce over the loss of The Crocodile Hunter six years ago.
The spitting image of Steve Irwin, Bob is seen below next to older sister Bindi, who is now 14. You may recall that on September 6, 2006, the wildlife expert was killed while swimming with a stingray when his chest was pieced by a spine on the animal's tail.
While most famous for saying "Crikey!" while clad in khaki shorts, Steve Irwin would also often commented on the dangerous nature of his work. A sampling of quotes from the late star read:
"Born a wildlife warrior, die a wildlife warrior."
"I get called an adrenaline junkie every other minute, and I'm just fine with that."
"I have no fear of losing my life – if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it."
"If something ever happens to me, people are gonna be like 'we knew a croc would get him!'"
By all appearances, Steve Irwin's son and daughter are attacking life with the same zest.
Bob and Bindi Irwin, seen here in late June, continue to work at the Australia Zoo along with their mother, Terri Irwin. The family will soon return to television in their fist series together since Steve's death.
"Steve filmed about 300 documentaries, but only about 30 made it to free-to-air television in Australia," Terri Irwin said. "So we have the capacity to bring forward footage of Steve and incorporate it into continuing his legacy."
I've long feared and secretly admired adventurous parents such as the Irwins. Just recently I read an article that helped paint their outside-the-box choices in a new light for me. Writing for Adventure Journal (I 'liked' them on Facebook on a whim because I'm wild like that), Alan Kessellheim explained, "Playing it safe is a matter of perspective."
The man who canoed for weeks with a pregnant wife, then later paddled the YellowStone River across Montana with a 9-month-old on board wrote:
"The safe environment that people tout brims with all kinds of dangers — more dangers, I submit, than we ever encounter in the wild. Routinely, we pile our children into cars and drive around at lethal speeds…put them in social contexts where bad things happen all the time."
Even six years after Steve Irwin's death I feel torn over his decisions. The enthusiasm for life, animals, and adventures that man had was infectious. I want it — even a little bit of it — but I'm scared. He died, doing what he loved, but he's dead all the same. Dead and gone, not able to see Bindi and Bob grow, not there to be a partner to Terri.
I'm torn!
How do you feel about parents who take risks, such as Steve Irwin did?

Can i replace an Amd Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ with a Pentium 4 cpu out of an old Dell? The Amd is in a functioning Compaq desktop....
migrated from stackoverflow.com Oct 17 '09 at 1:23
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
No. AMD Athlon XP's use a different socket type (Socket A (462)) while the Pentium 4 uses socket 478.
There hasn't been a standard CPU socket design since before the Pentium II. Intel moved to the Slot 1 while AMD made gradual improvements to socket 7. Then AMD tried their own Slot A design. Eventually both abandoned the Slot idea and went back to sockets but there hasn't a cross compatible socket design since 1994.
You can't put the P4 into the AMD's motherboard, no. But you might be able to migrate the P4+motherboard (and maybe +RAM as well) from the Dell case into the Compaq. If you end up considering that, also consider that it might be simpler to migrate the components from the Compaq into the Dell's case.

So many children dream of growing up to be animal trainers at a place like SeaWorld Orlando, and some do indeed get to realize that ambition. While most people think of the orcas when they imagine working with animals at the park, there are other critters working in the shows, like dolphins, birds, and even domestic pets that were rescued from shelters.
Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island showcases several different types of animals, including sea lions, walruses, and otters. The show is closing on August 10, but there will be a replacement in 2015. I had a chance to see it one last time and also to get a fascinating look at how the trainers teach the sea lions all those cute and amazing behaviors you see in the show.
Click the video accompanying this article to see the training session for yourself, as well as an informative question and answer session. You'll learn how the park uses targeting and positive reinforcement, in a process that takes years, to transform the animals into seasoned actors that delight guests each day with their antics. You can also see a slideshow of the animals here and some still photos from the sea lion training session here.
You might think that bribery is a big part of the training process, and treats are indeed used to reward the sea lions. However, they get a full meal every day regardless of their performance, so the trainers actually rely on a variety of reinforcers that include attention and affection in addition to the tasty fish snacks. As you'll see in the video, they use target poles to communication with the sea lions and show them where to go, which eventually translates into slides, jumps, and other show behaviors. The dolphins and orcas learn through similar methods.
Sea lions are very smart and love to learn, so they perform complex behaviors in the show. Each of the animals can do both the Clyde and Seamore roles. However, not all of the critters have that sort of attention span. Jump to this article for a video of Opie the Otter, whose role and training is a bit different. If you'd like to see Winston the Walrus show off some skills, go here for a video.

Occoquan Reservoir - Fishing Opportunities
The main species of interest at Occoquan are largemouth bass, bluegill, and crappie, but opportunities exist for anglers to catch channel catfish, flathead catfish, northern pike, and white perch. No matter the skill level, technique of choice, or time of year, the tastes of all anglers should be satisfied while fishing at Occoquan.
Largemouth Bass
The largemouth bass fishing is exceptional at Occoquan. Currently, the population is diverse, with bass found in all size classes up to about 21 inches. Good numbers of fish are available in the 4-6 pound range with an occasional larger fish mixed into the bag.
Heavy fishing pressure with ample habitat and abundant forage may make it more difficult to consistently catch fish. Patience is the key; anglers willing to try different techniques and lures to match the prevailing conditions should find success. Largemouth bass typically are found in transition areas between different habitats, particularly around heavy cover. Anglers should concentrate their efforts in these areas, fishing with a variety of lures such as plastic worms, jigs, spinner baits, or crank baits.
Black and White Crappie
Occoquan Reservoir has a very good crappie fishery and anglers should concentrate on areas with structure during the early spring. Anglers consistently catch fish around boat docks, fish attractors, or brush piles. Crappie can be successfully caught by a variety of methods ranging from small jigs, spinners, or flies fished with ultra light spinning gear or anglers may desire more traditional tactics such as fishing small minnows with a cane pole and bobber. Remember that crappies are a schooling fish, and once a fish is caught it is likely that several more will be caught with in close proximity. White crappie typically run larger; and, with the closure of Lake Manassas, Occoquan is the only District lake to offer white crappie.
The bluegill population has dropped considerably since the early 1990's, but the population remains in balance. Fair numbers of bluegill are found in the 5-7 inch range at Occoquan, which provides anglers' ample opportunity to fish for this delightful pan fish. Bream fishing does not have to be complicated. Anglers may use live bait such as worms or crickets with hopes of enticing a strike. Some anglers prefer to use ultra light spinning gear or fly fishing gear to present small lures or flies. Pound for pound, there's not a fish that fights any harder than a scrappy bluegill. Bream are easy to catch which makes them ideal for introducing young children to the sport of fishing.
Channel Catfish
Occoquan provides a good channel catfish fishery for anglers living close to the Beltway. Channel catfish were first stocked into Occoquan Reservoir in 1964 and were stocked annually afterwards until 1978. Stocking of channel catfish occurred on alternate years between 1981-1991. A good fishery has developed since those initial stockings and the channel catfish population is self-sustaining. Channel catfish are not currently stocked into the reservoir since there is adequate natural reproduction. Anglers can expect to catch fish in the 14-20 inch range, with most fish averaging about 2 pounds.
Flathead Catfish
Twelve flathead catfish were stocked into Occoquan Reservoir in 1965. Since that initial introduction a fantastic fishery has developed which produced the state record flathead catfish catch of 66 pounds 4 oz., caught and released by Mike Willems in May 1994. Anglers may want to concentrate their efforts in areas around rocky bluffs in close proximity to deep water. Live bream are the bait of choice and are often fished on the bottom with a slip sinker rig.

Research InterestsGuadalupe García is currently revising her first book manuscript, tentatively entitled "Beyond the Walled City: Race and Exclusion in Colonial Havana." The manuscript explores how colonial Havana was imagined, planned and developed from its sixteenth-century origins onward. It highlights how local conflicts over urban space reveal Caribbean uncertainties over race. The manuscript aims to illustrate the importance of colonial ideologies in the production of urban space and the centrality of race and racial exclusion as an organizing ideology of urban life in the Americas. It connects colonial urban practices to contemporary debates on urbanization, the policing of public spaces, and the urban dislocation of black and ethnic populations across the region. García is also working on a collaborative book project currently in the early research stages. The project explores the popular consumption of socialist revolutions and the ways in which public, visual representations of revolutionary movements imagine and respond to issues of mass tourism and globalization. The project's focus on post-1959 Cuba brings together García's interests in Cuba, revolutions, and globalization.
Teaching InterestsSex and Gender in Colonial Latin AmericaThis course examines women's roles and gender and sexuality in colonial Latin America. It also examines the conquest and colonization of Latin America through the lens of gender and sexuality. If focuses on the the relationships and belief systems that emerged among indigenous, European, and African populations and looks at how beliefs about women, sexuality, and gender were used to establish relationships of power. The goal of the class is not only to understand the relationships that emerged in colonial Latin America but to also understand how ideologies were used to sustain and contest Spanish colonial rule. Border Crossings: American Migrations in Historical PerspectiveThis course examines the social, political, and economic contexts in which hemispheric migrations occur. Understanding the various circumstances of migration serves to contextualize class discussions of how immigrant categories are constructed and immigration policies developed. Although our focus is on contemporary movements to the United States, the class also makes clear that the historical antecedents of peoples' movements are much broader. We will thus view American migrations as part of a larger, transnational and global phenomenon that spans temporal and geographic boundaries. It is the goal of the class to have students emerge from the course with an in-depth knowledge of what defines migrant flows and how "immigrants" are made from the various groups of ex-patriots, exiles, émigrés, refugees, and "border-crossers" that leave their home countries.The Cuban Revolution in History, Myth, and MemoryThis course explores the various faces of the Cuban revolution. Through the interpretation of primary sources, scholarly works, films, memoirs, and novels, the class analyzes the narratives that have been generated about Cuba and the Cuban Revolution. Analyses are meant to provide students with a critical, in-depth understanding of political events in Cuba from 1959 to the present. The goal of the class is to understand how myth, memory, and political objectives become competing historical narratives, how these narratives are understood as "Truth," and how this process affects both popular and scholarly understandings of historical events. To accomplish this goal, students in the class engage with the methods that private individuals, communities, organizations, and governments have used to produce and transmit histories about Cuba and its revolution. The City in Latin AmericaThis seminar is devoted to the importance that cities have played in Latin America's history. During European colonization, they served as the administrative centers of Hispanic rule and defined the "civilized" spaces of the empire. Yet even the most successful cities never lay fully within the grasp of the colonial administration, subject as they were to local needs as well as imperial designs. In some areas of Latin America pre-colonial urban structures remained (and remain still) as visual evidence of the ability of the city and its residents to erase, legitimize, and transform spaces, peoples, and ideas. Since then, the city in Latin America has been alternately understood as a space of imperial control, social opportunity and mobility, and a place where ideas can be challenged and changed. This class explores the forces, mechanisms, and intellectual currents that define 'the city' in Latin America past and present. It also introduces students to various ways of approaching the study of the city in Latin America.

For the most part you'll be fine starting from there(just before boarding the EH),the only issue you may run into is some jrnl entries may just show up as blank if doing the HKfactory.
It's one of those goofy things the game does because of how jrnl entries were added.
The first small parts of restoration and fixes begin on Telos(Citadel Station).

The problem is that the option doesn't disappear after using it once but I could boost his dexterity infinitely by accessing/logging out of the computer.

While the province of Alberta has a big name in skiing and boarding circles, there are great winter outdoor sports activities with the allure of foreign travel closer to New England. At Ski Mont Orford, in Quebec's Eastern Townships (Cantons de l'Est) you get to ski in the uncluttered beauty of a Canadian National Park. The added fillip is that the trip has the aura of foreign travel without having to cross the Atlantic.
The Eastern Townships, although French speaking, were settled by refugees (Loyalists) fleeing the American Revolution. A large number of its people speak both French and English and everyone involved in the hospitality industry can communicate with ease. This is a laid-back, largely agricultural region with a wonderful gastronomic tradition that parallels France in cheeses and wine, but has its own distinctive dishes such as poutine (fries with cheese curd and gravy), tourtiere (savory pork based pie) and maple syrup pie.
Winter excursions in the Canadian Appalachians: Nordic and Snowshoes
Located in the fringes of the northern Appalachian Mountains, Mont Orford National Park is a magnet for hikers in the summer, and in winter it draws skiers and boarders to the slopes of Mont Orford, the highest peak in the park, and cross country skiers and showshoers to the 50 kilometers (about 30 miles) of trails at the Discovery Center Le Cerisier. The Center is located close to the shores of beautiful Etang de Cerises (Cherry Pond) where a long easy trail winds up along its shores to the shores of Lake Stuckley before looping back. A full map of the trails is available online. All the trails are marked, groomed and packed; 26 kilometers (about 15 miles) are skating trails.
Skiing one of Quebec's highest peaks
Located in the southwest corner of the park, Mont Orford, at 2,814 feet is one of the highest peaks in the province of Quebec. Ski Mont Orford has trails from the top it and from the neighboring peaks of Mont Giroux and Mont Alfred-Desrochers as well. Taken together, these three peaks satisfy beginners, intermediates, experts and lovers of ungroomed natural snow.
The trails on the shoulders of Mont Alfred-Desrochers are rated for beginner and intermediate and are served by a double chair. This entire area, however, is a dedicated natural area and all snow there is ungroomed and natural. If skiing this terrain is your goal, make sure before you leave that it is open and that the conditions are acceptable.
Mont Giroux, at about 2,080 feet, has a lot of heft with trails on two faces, with the learning area and a few green and blue trails on the slope facing the lodge (including a terrain park). On the north face is a beautiful blue named Slalom and a set of four challenging black and double-black trails with additional double-black side trails.
Mont Orford also has a variety of trails for all skill levels, but is heavily tilted to expert skiers that like extreme slopes. The entire center of the mountain, on both sides of the dual chair-gondola, is for experts only. Ranked double-black, they are nearly vertical and will challenge the best. But this part of the ski area also has something for everyone. A gorgeous green trail named 4KM (it is 4 kilometers – 2 ½ miles long) winds off from the top of the gondola, over the back shoulder of Orford and then back to the front, with an overlook onto the top of Mont Giroux below. Intermediates can go to the right off the gondola and follow Grand Coulee, which slides off the north shoulder of Orford toward Mont Alfred-Desrochers before turning easterly and down the challenging valley between the two.
A place apart
Unlike areas where the resort owns the land and can develop around the slopes, Mont Orford is surrounded by National Park. Outside the park there is some development, but at the mountain development is limited to the lodge and the ski infrastructure. The atmosphere is casual and friendly, a good place for families. The lodge is big and well organized with a full range of service from boot room to equipment rental and a full service cafeteria and a separate lounge perfect for après-ski. Special 3-day and 6-day passes are available for $143 and $166, with lower rates for students.
Places to stay and eat
Because Orford is in the park there is no on-site lodging, but consider Estrimont Suites and Spa, only a few miles from the mountain. It is at 44 Avenue de l'Auberge, (800) 567-7320. Most of the suites have views of the mountain, are beautifully decorated and have one of the most fully furnished mini-kitchens we have encountered. For dining, lighter fare is available in the bistro and fine dining in Estrimont's dining room, under the direction of chef David Vinas, is extraordinary. They have ski packages starting at $89 (Canadian). Another place to consider is the Auberge 4 Saisons, on the backside of the mountain. It has large rooms, a nice restaurant and a convenience store.
Getting to Mont Orford
From Boston and southern New Hampshire take I-93 past Littleton into Vermont, then I-91 north. From Hartford and western Massachusetts take I-91 north. At the Canadian border continue ahead on Highway 55 to the intersection of Highway 10. Take it west (toward Montreal) to the exit Chemin du Parc (Route 141), turning right from the exit.

Evaluating the results
From a global perspective, the WDC Torino 2008 designation attracted interest from numerous parts of the world as Torino solidified its position as a noteworthy centre for design burgeoning with design schools, promotional organisations, innovative and diversified creative industries, as well as the support of its local and regional municipal networks. A lively city of interest to visitors and investors, Torino as the WDC 2008 benefited from an increased awareness and appreciation for its accomplishments in design, which has helped the region, as well as the country. The WDC designation helped to develop closer synergies with regional neighbours, as well as with other cities that want to collaborate, learn from best practise or who may also want to become future WDC designated cities.
The city aimed to put Torino and the Piemonte region on the international map of design cities. The WDC Project helped spread the culture of planning throughout the country: with the people, in businesses, in education, in institutions. The legacy left a permanent mark on the city that can renew the effects of WDC over time.
The year of design has helped Torino to create and enhance a system of relationships with national and international design institutions, from the Center de Disseny of Barcelona to the Design Council of London, from the Design Center of Singapore to the Norwegian Design Council. Today, these players perceive Torino as a credible partner and WDC Torino 2008 as a successful programme.
In 2008, 80 great designers came to the city, most of them for the first time: from Jasper Morrison to the Campana brothers, from James Irvine to Martí Guixé, from Ross Lovegrove to Patricia Urquiola, from Giulio Iacchetti to Matali Crasset. All of them had the opportunity to discover and contribute to the city, working with local companies, meeting professionals and taking part in workshops with students. As an example, more than 1,000 people crowded the public lectures held by Ross Lovegrove and Stefan Sagmeister. Remarkable also was the coverage by the media with 3,250 WDC-related articles in the national and international press for the period between 2007 and 2008.
More than 20 competitions and numerous workshops involving companies and designers have significantly contributed to increasing local competencies and above all to show how companies, institutions and designers could effectively work together in the field of design services.
The project Torino Geodesign was the symbol of the process in which companies and designers were asked to design solutions to real problems commissioned by 43 city communities. For instance, the workshop 'Le vie del design', which in the town of Rivoli brought together institutions, designers and companies; 'D_Art Lab', the workshop organised by the Fondazione Pistoletto in Biella, which involved 11 designers and 12 international companies based in the Piemonte region to design new sustainable products; the project 'Canavese Connexion' which put together designers, companies and even students to design new products, through a process of innovation built ad hoc from the existing production systems.
130,000 people visited the exhibitions organised directly by the Committee (L'oro del Design Italiano, Olivetti. A fine company/A better society, Torino Geodesign, Flexibility. Design in a fast-changing society, International Design Casa, Dream. The car of the future since 1950), testifying how design, seemingly perceived as a niche subject, could generate interest not only among professionals.
Exhibitions organised by third parties, such as the private collection of Alexander Von Vegesack in the Pinacoteca Agnelli, the "Sambonet" exhibition in Palazzo Madama or Enzo Mari in the Galleria d'Arte Moderna, also attracted great interest.
Further research on WDC Torino 2008
The Organising Committee of WDC Torino 2008 commissioned Astra Research – an institute specialised in social research and marketing – with research aimed at detecting the perception of the WDC Torino 2008 activity. Between 5 -12 December, 1596 people were called upon to complete an extensive online questionnaire.
Knowledge of Torino World Design Capital
73% of respondents to the research study knew of WDC Torino 2008. Of the 27% that had never heard about the organisation, in four out of five cases the respondent had participated in one or more events organised by itself. Thirteen events organised in Torino in 2008 have been analysed in terms of knowledge. Half of these were known by at least three out of four, in descending order: 'Dream, the car of the future since 1950′ (85%), 'Olivetti, a fine company/a better society' (85%), 'L'oro del design italiano'(83%),' Torino Geodesign '(81%), 'Roberto Sambonet' (78%), 'Enzo Mari' (76%) and 'Flexibility '(75%). All events, except Lovegrove and Sagmeister (52%) lecturers, were known to a clear majority, between 71% and 59%, 'International Design Casa' (71%), 'Piemonte Torino Design' (65%), 'Designing connected places' (62%), 'The Von Vegesack collection' (59%), 'D for design' (59%).
WDC Torino 2008 can be rated as a great success: it promoted an unusual large number of initiatives, activities and events. Despite the limited resources devoted to communication, it got to involve a large part of the population and almost all the 'experts', obtaining an excellent reputation on the major initiatives and a significant participation in many of them. WDC Torino 2008 saw the creation of a fortnight of top events, almost all supported by a strong and widespread consensus. In the researchers view, WDC Torino 2008 was another important step of the more-than-ten-year process that, in full cooperation between public and private, has led to an exceptional enhancement of Torino's image and its citizens.

According to ComicBook.com on Thursday, "Sin City 2's" Josh Brolin takes to a Reddit AMA session to answer questions from fans about his current and up coming projects. Brolin claimed to be fully caffeinated for the question/answer interview as he wound up promoting his next project Sicario which stars "Guardians of the Galaxy's" Benicio Del Toro and "Edge of Tomorrow's" Emily Blunt. It's filming in Albuquerque and Brolin is sporting a more gray ambiance to his facial hair.
Brolin then later brought up the topic of what he thought of his role as it was announced he would be playing the Mad Titan Thanos. He had come to realize the energy that has propagated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe and of course is inclusive with his own role in the movie. He realized it was about the fans and not about the critiques. Brolin also remarks in regards to his rivalry with Robert Downey, Jr.
"Once I was at Comic-Con I realized what it meant to everybody. The critics' impact is minimal here, it's all about the fans. And when I was at Comic-Con, I realized the great rivalry between Robert & myself, and so did Marvel, so I think they have big plans for Thanos in the future."
Fans may recall having first seen Thanos at the end tease of "The Avengers" where he's behind the Chitauri attacks on Earth during the Battle of New York as he sits back on his throne in his sanctuary. Then, just recently, came Brolin taking on the role of the Mad Titan in the full CGI animation as well as details entailing his pursuit of the Infinity Stones as he has Ronan the Accuser do his bidding. Some may recall threatening Ronan, if he should fail to bring back the Infinity Stone to "bathe the starways with his [your] blood." Even his daughter Nebula recognizes that the Mad Titan shouldn't be trifled with even by the likes of Ronan.
Brolin realizes that his role is influential to the story arc that could lead to the Infinity Gauntlet leads him to have extraordinary powers. He proudly donned a Hasbro toy version of the gauntlet as he made his way to the stage and rasied it up high above his head for fans at the San Diego Comic Con only to get an astounding applause. So it would seem that there are big plans and eventually and "end game" for his role.
