Lexus is hardly the first brand that comes to mind when comes to motorsports. In fact, it's not even the first Japanese brand. But Toyota's premium marque is showing new signs of understanding that it will need to at least pay racing further lip service if it wants to be viewed as a more emotionally connected brand with the wherewithal to challenge the Germans on every level.

In case you needed more proof that the Lexus RC F is a statement car intended to scream "This is not your father's brand" (yes, we're paraphrasing the tagline of another automaker), here it is: the Lexus RC F GT3 Racing Concept. Lexus introduced a GT500-spec version of the RC F at the Tokyo Auto Salon last month, but this GT3-spec entrant and its Reading Rainbow paint job will get to show off at the Geneva Motor Show to whet the appetites of European racing outfits.

HEART DISEASE; A Cure for Sudden Cardiac Arrest, but Only if It's Close By
By LESLIE BERGER
Published: September 23, 2002
IT took David Gonzalez, a 66-year-old Bronx building superintendent, about 20 minutes to master the use of an automated external defibrillator, the medical machine designed for victims of sudden cardiac arrest that can literally shock someone back to life.
His hands trembled a bit and, working with a dummy in his building's recreation room, he put the chest pads in the wrong place. Quickly though, with reminders from his instructor, Mr. Gonzalez adjusted the pads and followed the machine's simple, step-by-step commands. ''Shock advised,'' it said in one of those pleasant-yet-authoritative voices that could narrate a Disney monorail ride. ''Stand clear!''
''It's easy,'' he said afterward. ''I'm comfortable using it.''
Everyone seems to agree that today's generation of defibrillators are foolproof. Tucked inside neat, portable cases and weighing but a few pounds, the $2,500 computerized devices have only three buttons to press and that familiar voice to obey. Sixth-grade students learned to use them almost as well as paramedics, one recent study found.
As with so many modern predicaments, however, the issue is no longer about the technology but about how people use it. Researchers are now focusing on whether Mr. Gonzalez and others like him can remember what to do in an actual emergency, and whether it is possible -- or even practical -- to install enough devices to ensure that they will be available in the brief minutes in which they can make a difference.
About 460,000 Americans died in 1999 of sudden cardiac arrest, representing more than 60 percent of deaths from heart disease, according to a recent analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And only about half of them made it to a hospital before dying, the analysis said.
In sudden cardiac arrest, the heart's electrical signals malfunction and cause the main pumping chamber to quiver and stop. Heart attacks, in which arterial blockages choke off the heart's blood supply, usually produce pain or other symptoms that give victims a chance to seek help. But in cardiac arrest, the victim simply collapses without warning. Men are three times as likely as women to suffer sudden cardiac death through middle age, although the ratio evens out after 75.
THE most common cause of cardiac arrest is an abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation, for which there is only one treatment: shocking the heart's nerves back to their normal rhythm, a process known as defibrillation. For best results, the technique must be done within three minutes. After that, the brain becomes too deprived of oxygen.
''I have the cure for sudden death: it's getting a defibrillator to the patient,'' said Dr. Douglas P. Zipes, a former president of the American College of Cardiology. ''The problem is getting the device to the patient in an appropriate time interval. How can I facilitate getting the device to the patient?''
Some experts argue that there is a moral imperative to distribute defibrillators widely. Others argue that such efforts, however well-intentioned, could represent a colossal waste of money, given that 80 percent of sudden deaths occur in private homes, away from most defibrillators.
Concourse Gardens, a government-subsidized high-rise for the elderly, where Mr. Gonzalez lives and works, is 1 of 15 sites in New York City participating in a large experiment, called the public access defibrillation, or the PAD, trial. Nationwide, doctors and scientists in two dozen cities are overseeing volunteers at 1,000 public places, including shopping malls, discount chain stores, museums and health clubs.
They hope to learn not only how many lives might be saved, but also how many machines are needed at a given location, how much training is practical, how much money everything costs and whether, in the end, it makes financial sense. The vast, $20 million experiment, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association, is expected to continue through March.
Depending on the outcome, experts say, it is conceivable that the automated external defibrillator, now sold to individuals with a doctor's prescription, could become an over-the-counter device.
''It's not like a blood-pressure cuff, where all you're doing is making a measurement,'' said Dr. Myron L. Weisfeldt, the chairman of the Department of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a former president of the American Heart Association, who has helped lead the development of portable defibrillators. ''You're talking about an instrument that, if properly used, in 10 seconds can save someone's life. That's a pretty dramatic treatment for someone to do if they're not a physician or health care professional.
''The real question,'' Dr. Weisfeldt continued, ''is will a volunteer remember where the device is, what to do, how to use it when under the stress of someone actually in front of you who looks like they're dead? Or would it be better just to train people to call 911 and do CPR and let the ambulance people do the defibrillating?''
Some health professionals contend that the devices are so straightforward they should be mounted by every water cooler and first-aid kit.

I remember ride monkey. Someone made an account there with my name and posted some junk about guns or drugs or something. Seemed like little ride monkeys made comments to me about that, HERE, for about 5 months like it was me. It was pretty funny... the tiny world they live in over there and their cute little forum. I didn't even know what it was. Their admin forum had a thread about whether or not I should be banned...
It is good you posted this at ride monkey though. They obviously need the help over there. The thing about MTBR is that everyone here is sooo freaking smart, that they would never buy anything from Jeremy just because his name is, "Jeremy". It just wouldn't happen here. This is due to MTBR's greatness.
That is why there really isn't a lot of sympathy here... it was stupid to get into in the first place. MTBR members know better... from birth. It's a DNA thing for us.

We only stayed one night but found this to be a clean and friendly La Quinta. Beds were comfortable and room was quiet. Breakfast was included and there were several choices. Only 1 of the 2 waffle makers was working but Becky on reception was very quick to apologise and did everything she could to ensure everyone went away happy. I would stay here again if passing through Fresno.

Northeast softball schedules second annual Strikeout Cancer doubleheader
Northeast Mississippi Community College softball program knows that timing is everything when it comes to the game on and off the field.
While the Lady Tigers are busy trying to secure a spot in the Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges (MACJC) state playoffs, Northeast will also be looking to help a worthy cause in the process and throw a fastball by a tough batter.
Exactly one year since the Lady Tigers held their first StrikeOut Cancer doubleheader on April 8, 2010, Northeast will hold its second annual StrikeOut Cancer doubleheader against Northwest Mississippi Community College on April 8 at Booneville City Park.
"Our players really enjoyed this event and we are excited that this event would happen this year," said Northeast softball coach Jody Long. "Our goal is to generate community awareness, support for our program, educate our players,continue our mission of community involvement and to use our platform to raise money to be used locally to be used in the fight against cancer"
Northeast played its first StrikeOut Cancer doubleheader against Itawamba Community College on April 8, 2010 after Mother Nature postponed the first event from March 12, 2010.
During the first StrikeOut Cancer event, the Lady Tiger softball program raised $1,000 for the Prentiss County Chapter of the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life event.
StrikeOut Cancer is a national event that is organized by the American Cancer Society and the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) to help raise funds and awareness to fight cancer. The national program uses personal experiences, community leadership and professional excellence of fast-pitch softball coaches nationwide to help increase cancer education and promote healthy living through awareness efforts and fund-raising activities.
Northeast honored one of its own during the first event as cancer survivor Mary AliceCoats threw out the first pitch.
During the 2011 event, Northeast is doubling the stakes as a pair of cancer survivors will be honored during the festivities.
Northeast accounting instructor Robbie Coleman will throw out the first pitch for theLady Tigers while Northeast social science instructor Carla Falkner will serve as honorary coach for the Northeast squad during the doubleheader.
"We want everyone to come out and support their Tigers in our efforts to 'Pink out the Park'," Long said. "Donations will be accepted and we are excited about a great day of softball while raising money for this event."
Northeast's StrikeOut Cancer doubleheader fund-raiser is part of the softball program's attempt to leave a positive impact on the community.
In addition to the StrikeOut Cancer fund-raiser, the softball program has alsoscheduled its seventh annual Racin' Round Booneville/Make-A-Wish Foundation softball tournament for the last weekend in May and is scheduled to continue its tradition of honoring former Northeast head coach David Carnell with a tournament in June.
Prior to the season, Northeast's softball team was active in the community during the off-season cooking for over 500 people at the annual Christmas pancake breakfast, adopting a family at Christmas so that that family's children may share in the joyous holiday or traveling to the local nursing homes to sing Christmas carols to the elderly.

China Export Growth Shows Economy Tolerating Rate Increases
China's faster-than-expected growth in exports and imports last month may allow Premier Wen Jiabao to strengthen his fight against inflation, which probably exceeded his target for the ninth straight month in March.
Overseas shipments jumped 35.8 percent and imports climbed 27.3 percent, unexpectedly pulling the trade balance into surplus after a $7.3 billion shortfall in February, the customs bureau said yesterday.
"March export figures came in stronger than expected, shrugging off the impact of Japan's disaster and the surge in oil prices," said Qu Hongbin, chief China economist at HSBC Holdings Plc in Hong Kong. "This reconfirms that inflation rather than growth remains as the key risk for China. Get ready for more reserve ratio and rate hikes in the coming months."
The government will use reserve requirement ratios, interest rates and foreign-exchange rates to "eliminate the monetary basis for inflation," Premier Wen Jiabao said during a visit to Zhejiang province on April 9, the official Xinhua news agency reported. Wen reiterated that controlling price gains is his top economic priority after food and housing costs surged, threatening social stability.
Investors are growing confident that the economy can tolerate monetary tightening, with China's benchmark stock index climbing 9 percent since the first of two interest-rate increases this year. The index's advance has beaten the 0.6 percent gain in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and a 1.4 percent drop in the MSCI Asia Pacific Index.
Accelerating Inflation
The Shanghai Composite Index, which tracks the bigger of China's stock exchanges, rose for a fifth day. It climbed 0.8 percent to 3,053.24 at the 11:30 a.m. break.
Consumer-price gains climbed 5.2 percent in March, exceeding the government's 2011 target of 4 percent for the third month, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. The statistics bureau is due to release the data on April 15.
Inflation in China is "somewhat out of control and causing some serious danger of wage-price inflation," billionaire investor George Soros said yesterday at a conference in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. "It would be very advantageous to allow the currency to appreciate as a way of controlling inflation," said Soros, chairman of Soros Fund Management LLC.
Higher commodity prices contributed to the nation recording its first quarterly trade deficit since 2004, underscoring the case for yuan gains to help contain prices. Inbound crude oil shipments in the first quarter rose 12 percent by volume and 39 percent by value to $43.7 billion. The cost of iron ore imports jumped 82.5 percent to $27.7 billion while the amount of metal climbed 14.4 percent, customs data showed.
Quicker Gains
"China's economy would ultimately benefit from greater appreciation" in the yuan, Stephen Green, head of research for greater China at Standard Chartered Plc in Shanghai, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. Green predicted a "quicker" pace of appreciation in the currency in the second quarter after a 0.9 percent gain versus the dollar in the January-to-March.
The People's Bank of China has raised interest rates four times and boosted banks' reserve requirement ratios six times since early October. Credit Suisse Group AG forecasts the benchmark one-year deposit rate, which has risen 1 percentage point to 3.25 percent, will climb another 1.5 percentage points by the end of the year.
No Hard Landing
A report this week may show China's gross domestic product expanded 9.4 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. The economy grew 9.8 percent in the fourth quarter.
There's "little risk of a hard landing," Paul J. Heytens, China country director of the Asian Development Bank said last week, citing "robust" growth in industrial production, retail sales and real-estate investment.
Expansion will ease to 9.6 percent this year from 10.3 percent in 2010 as the government's fiscal stimulus winds down and monetary policy is tightened, the Manila-based lender forecast.
The growth in March exports beat the forecasts of 24 out of 25 economists in a Bloomberg News survey and was 53 percent higher than the median estimate, while the gain in imports topped the 20.6 percent forecast. The $140 million trade surplus compared with the median forecast for a deficit of $3.35 billion.
Export Growth
"The better-than-expected exports and imports should remove concerns there will be a rapid economic downturn," Dong Xian'an, former chief economist at Industrial Securities and now at Beijing-based Peking First Advisory, said in a note yesterday.
Export growth to China's biggest trading partners -- the European Union and the U.S. -- accelerated last month as their economies recovered from the global financial crisis, customs bureau data showed. Shipments to Japan surged 37.4 percent from a year earlier to a record $13.1 billion.
U.S. policy makers have pressed China to allow quicker gains in the yuan to help narrow trade imbalances, with Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner continuing to describe the currency as "substantially undervalued."
The PBOC set the yuan's daily reference rate against the dollar at 6.5401 today, a record high for the seventh straight trading day. The currency touched a 17-year high on April 8 and was little changed at 6.5367 per dollar as of 10:02 a.m. in Shanghai, according to the China Foreign Exchange System. The yuan has gained more than 4 percent over the past 12 months, less than half the rise of Singapore's dollar.
Containing Inflation
"China is still facing strong pressure from imported inflation," said Liu Li-Gang, an economist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group in Hong Kong who formerly worked for the World Bank. "While the authorities can use fiscal subsidies to offset this, the exchange rate tool is more effective to contain imported inflation."
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said last week an economic recovery among the world's most advanced economies is gathering strength. The Paris-based body forecast the Group of Seven economies excluding Japan probably expanded an annualized 3.2 percent in the first quarter and 2.9 percent in the second.

Politics The Withdrawal Method
posted by November 24 at 14:23 PMon
More required reading for the "troops out now(ish)" crowdI'm looking at you, Dan, and you, Unpaid Intern.
George Packer in the new New Yorker:
It is true that the presence of American troops is a source of great tension and violence in Iraq, and that overwhelming numbers of Iraqis want them to leave. But it is also true that wherever American troop levels have been reducedin Falluja and Mosul in 2004, in Tal Afar in 2005, in Baghdad in 2006security has deteriorated. In the absence of adequate and impartial Iraqi forces, Sunni insurgents or Shiite militias have filled the power vacuum with a reign of terror. An American withdrawal could produce the same result on a vast scale. That is why so many Iraqis, after expressing their ardent desire to see the last foreign troops leave their country, quickly add, "But not until they clean up the mess they made.â And it is why a public-service announcement scrolling across the bottom of the screen during a recent broadcast on an Iraqi network said, "The Ministry of Defense requests that civilians not comply with the orders of the Army or police on nightly patrols unless they are accompanied by coalition forces working in that area.â
The argument that Iraq would be better off on its own is a self-serving illusion that seems to offer Americans a win-win solution to a lose-lose problem. Like so much about this war, it has more to do with politics here than reality there. Such wishful thinking (reminiscent of the sweets-and-flowers variety that preceded the war) would have pernicious consequences, as the United States fails to anticipate one disaster after another in the wake of its departure: ethnic cleansing on a large scale, refugees pouring across Iraq's borders, incursions by neighboring armies, and the slaughter of Iraqis who had joined the American project.
I'm no hawk. I was against the Iraq war, and I'll freely admit that I was pretty skeptical about invading Afghanistan (on my birthday, no less) with very little attempt to explain to the American public why this was a necessary step. But I strongly oppose any attempt to equate anti-war sentiment with advocacy of immediate withdrawal, "phased redeployment," or any other euphemism for "we have no idea what to do, so we'll back away slowly and pretend this never happened."

tjost deserves the spot he got in this derby. I'm not sure where your going with your comment.
Well, great shirt. Too small. Very disappointed.
I ordered a 2x, which should hang pretty loosely off me, and generally would allow room for shrinkage. Of course, it's skin tight. Figures. Waste of 12 bucks; can't wear it.
EDIT: Woot customer service A+ rating. The Honey Badger shirt I ordered was a 3x and it fits. Woot support contacted me, and reminded me of this, then helped me get a shirt my big butt can wear. Kudos, thanks, and will woot again!!

I'm really sorry to hear that. The new shirts tend to run a little bigger on me then the AA's so I'm suprised if the size you normally order is now too small. Email Woot support and let them know if it's a smaller size then previous shirts of the same 2XL you've ordered. If so they may be able to send you a 3X. Again I'm sorry you can't wear it. I wish there was more I could do
I absolutely love this design, but am not a fan of the grey. The dark shade makes the shirt feel gloomy rather than cheerful like the film itself. The art is wonderful, though!
Love everything about this shirt<3 Princess Bride is mine and boyfriends favorite movie. Espically think the Latin at the top is a nice touch.
Great shirt! Good quality, well made, heavy duty material, superb print, of course. I am an extrinsically happy customer!!!!!
Not sure how I missed this one until today! My son is named Westley because of this amazing book & movie. Just bought one for him. Hooray!!!
If you wear purple with this shirt, the grey looks purple.
tjost, you are my dearest love. Run with me into the Fire Swamp and save me from my boring life and mundane t-shirt existence. I do not blave when I say that you can plan my closet onslaught anyday.

Alleged coup mastermind and former army captain Alfred Matapo has launched a new political party - United Crusade for Achieving Democracy (UCAD) - and insists that Zanu PF's days in government are numbered.
Matapo spent seven years at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison after he was charged with treason and attempted jail break.
He was accused of plotting a coup to overthrow President Robert Mugabe but the treason charge collapsed before he served a three-year term after being convicted in 2012 of trying to escape from lawful custody two years earlier.
Matapo maintains innocence, saying he was arrested by police detectives in 2007 together with his Ucad cadres while they were preparing to launch their party.
Following his release from prison on May 1 this year, Matapo has resumed his political ambitions, formally launching the party on August 1.
His co-accused in the treason charge were released in 2011 and have all gone into exile. They include his Australian-based son Garirai Mazivofa who is Ucad's secretary for youth.
Others are vice-president Nyasha Zivuku, secretary for security and defence Emmanuel Marara whose deputy was Shingirai Webster Mutemachani, education secretary Partson Mupfure and Partson Mudzurahona who is responsible for technology.
Matapo said his party will not wait for the 2018 elections but will lobby for the two thirds parliamentary majority to push out the current government and pave way for fresh polls.
Unbelievable as it may sound, the ex-soldier is confident he will succeed.
"The good thing is we know exactly how Nikuv was used to rig last year's elections. We know that people never voted for Zanu PF. We are going to each of the 210 parliamentary constituencies and convince people to sign petitions that will force their respective member of parliament [MPs] to pass a vote of no confidence against the current government.
"A two thirds majority in the passing of the vote of no confidence will open way for elections. We cannot wait for 2018 because if the current situation persists, Zimbabwe would be charred remains due to Zanu PF's misrule."
Matapo believes Ucad will win the elections because people have lost hope in the MDCs. Being the ambitious man he is, Matapo wants a complete overhaul of Zimbabwe and sees a new country beyond 30 years' time. He dreams of a new Zimbabwe with five states, Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern and Central which would host a new capital city whose name would be suggested by "crusaders," a name referred to followers of Ucad.
The central state, said Matapo, would cover areas like Mhondoro, Kwekwe, Gweru, Kadoma and Chiwundura. He said Harare was now overpopulated and was badly designed.
"We want the new capital city to be near Manhize Mountains and would be served with water from Mamina dam," said Matapo. "It shall be a huge modern city with carriageways that directly lead to all the country's borders. The motorways will have 10 lanes each. "Here we are talking about a city better than New York or London with underground tube trains.
"We will not borrow and will have investors help us service the country's debts while education should improve with graduates able to start their own businesses."
He said his government will resettle and compensate displaced people who would be living in the way of the carriageways. A build-operate-transfer (BOT) project financing model would be adopted to make possible the construction of the new capital city and all infrastructure.
Private entities would be given tenders to build public properties which they would operate and maintain between 15 to 20 years before handing them back to the government. Matapo said it would take 10 years to build the new city.
"We will call for a referendum in awarding tenders. For the BOT model to successfully work, we will invite the Bill Gates of this world to invest in the country. There are many people and entities with money outside there and it is a workable proposition," Matapo said.
"There will be modern villages in these states and the investor will own homes in these villages where they will live with locals. We want villages that have tarred roads, electricity and running water.
"People should use cars when travelling to their fields. Every rural home must have paddocks so that, for example, an old lady who stays alone will not have trouble in rearing her livestock. We will not allow multiple-ownership of farms and also not distribute land on partisan grounds."
He wants leadership to rotate among the five states and a four-year term for each President. Those who committed political atrocities would be prosecuted, he said.
After a tormenting period in prison, the incarceration appears to have ploughed more political determination inside Matapo.
"Even if am offered the whole of Chiadzwa diamond fields, I will not join Zanu PF. If you want to know politics, go to prison. Am not saying it is good to break the law and be jailed but prison teaches one the best politics. You become a seasoned politician because you will be surrounded by 2 500 people from all corners of the country," he said.
"During my incarceration, nothing happened outside without passing through my ears, even before they started allowing newspapers inside the prison. Some people in jail are former workers or neighbours of top politicians. It is difficult to find information from someone outside than inside jail. I also used to teach fellow prisoners politics."

Abstract65172 A high current, high brightness, 10 pulsor per second (pps) ion source is a key component of a heavy ion fusion accelerator. This project will use a high purity pulsed inductive, gas-breakdown plasma source to generate a plasma with a high directed velocity. The source is positioned a large distance from the accelerator, resulting in separation of neutral gas from the accelerator and collimation of the ions entering the accelerator. In Phase I, an experimental argon pulsed inductive plasma source will be fabricated and used to conduct initial research with available drivers and plasma diagnostics. Modifications to the plasma source will be made to obtain ion source parameters consistent with the requirements for standard accelerating structures, as determined from a preliminary injector stage design. Ultimately, Phase I will determine whether the pulsed inductive plasma source can produce desired ion source characteristics for a heavy ion fusion induction linac. Commercial Applications And Other Benefits as described by awardee: Commercial applications of pulsed inductive plasma sources include plasma and ion beam processing and plasma propulsion schemes. Ion sources should also have applications to other fusion power approaches, including high flux neutral beams and plasmoids for injection into magnetically confined plasmas and field reversed ion rings.

One of the best re-issues in recent times. Great quality and colour scheme and jeans have always had great styling.

I want to love them, they are the comfiest, but they squeak soooo much it's ridiculous! I work at a hospital and everywhere I go it sounds like I have water in my shoes.

I have had my ultra boosts for about a month now while running 12-25 miles a day as well as wearing them casually.

I bought my boyfriend two pairs of these shoes in red and green and when he saw them in yellow he had to have them. So...

Flashy and has style.. I am a senior in highschool and I play a mix of tight end and slot receiver. Comfortable and light, feels like nothing is on.

They look great and fit great for the most part, but the arches are waayyy too high. I've experienced this with Sambas before, but those insoles were easily removed and the problem was solved. But these insoles don't seem to be able to be taken out, so I'm not sure how to tackle that issue. ... read more

With a not so well thought of Harden Logo on the tongue, it is just basically regular crazylight boost 2.5 low. Forefoot could had use bounce cushioning OR Boost. It is just too stiff and uncomfortable up front. Heel boost is excellent on the other hand. The length of the shoes is RIGHT ON; width of the forefoot is a bit narrow specially close to the pinky toe area. The reinforce plastic fuse toe cap made the material not able to stretch, anyone with wider foot, pinky toe will feel uncomfortable rubbing against the shoes! ... read more
Searched up some YouTube reviews due to a lot of folks saying the shoes run big. Turns out they do. This isn't a drawback but would suck if ppl didn't know and bought their regular size and the shoe runs too big on them. I went half a size down to a 10, probably could have even gone to a 9.5. The shoe will break in anyway the more you wear them. But all in all I never tried on or own any boost type of shoe. And this was one of the best purchases I've made for a shoe in a really long time. Looking to one day get a pair of ultra boosts and nmd r1's. Will also be keeping my eyes out for more crazylights from now on as well. Can't beat the price either with or without the sale for the tech that you're getting. ... read more
They are great shoes! However, a more varied color choice would be appreciated. The shoes couldn't be better but the I think the lack of color choices or a "customize" option really hurts the product. ... read more

These shoes are extremely comfortable but Adidas really needs better lighting/filter for the pictures they post on here. I bought BB3910 thinking that it will be all black but there's actually a dark grey on the very top of the surface and a dark greyish blue line surrounding it. Not impressed and I cannot return this item since I am buying this on the US website and asking my friend to bring it over to Canada. Adidas, I really wish you take into consideration that there are a lot of Canadians who are also interested in ultra boost. Please release all your restock and new release the same time as US on the Canadian website. So tired of getting the leftovers from US with limited size and weird colorways. ... read more
I purchased the Red and Green version of these superstars and both pairs of shoes fit the exact same way so at least i can say their is some consistency to the size/fit. I am flat-footed which gives me a wider foot then most people and I think these shoes feel amazing, but that means if your a high arch or narrow foot person you will probably think these shoes are too roomy; as far as foot length from heel to toe it is spot on! so don't get a smaller size for a tighter fit unless your okay with sacrificing toe room, I just suggest tying your shoes tight or wearing thick socks... Now to the shoe design! for hat is clearly the combination of two pieces of material (geometric shapes upper layer and the under reflective layer) these shoes do not feel thick, bulky or heavy. the look itself is incredible when the light reflects off the shoes just right it looks amazing! technically all the shoes have a rainbow reflection but it seems each color shoe has a different hue of rainbow. For example the Green seem to reflect more so Blue/green spectrum while on the Red pair the full rainbow reflects fairly evenly but with an emphasis on orange and yellow... regardless of the spectrum these shoes do reflect and do look amazing for a simple geometric pattern and it was genius to add the cut-outs to give it depth and dimension. next let me say a couple other reviews stated that the XEON parts scuff easily and that the material seems old, faded and the color seems off... yes the XEON does scuff so not a great daily wear but this is easily fixed by spraying a reflective clear coat on it. you can search the web to easily find some.... Now let me address the color and quality comments by reminding everyone this shoe is SUEDE! not regular LEATHER. suede imprints differently and shows color differently then then hard leather. so in certain light I am sure the color might seem a bit off or faded but that's true about any shoe color and different lighting. So based off the material these are made with there is nothing wrong with the color or logo print of these shoes. lastly I gave these 4 out of 5 stars for one reason. the reflective part of the shoe is glued to the geometric part of the shoe and on my Red pair you cant tell at all, but on my green pair there are a few spots where you can see the glue squeezing out into little bubbles in the reflective cut-outs. normally this wouldn't be a big deal because you could take a exact-o knife and cut off the extra no problem, but this is a reflective material that will easily scratch so using any type of sharp/hard edge to clean it up only results in tiny scratches in the corner which are only obvious up close and when its reflecting. still nobody likes to have to clean glue off of their new shoes. over all i love these shoes and i will probably purchase the Black ones before the summer starts. ... read more

I was excited to order the James Harden All Star color way when it first came out. I ordered my usual size 13. When I got the shoes it looked like a 14 or 15 the shoe was huge. But by the time I received my pair the shoe was sold out besides sizes 9 and 9.5 I usually wear size 13 with this shoe I could have used a size 12 or even 11.5 I thought it was very weird. I double checked to make sure the shoe wasn't a 14 or bigger but the box and shoe tag says 13. If you can try and try them on before you buy them. ... read more
This is a great shoe at a great price. They are made of good materials that hold up well and don't show a lot of wear. I typically wear a 12, and the 12 in this shoe is a tad bit short. Also, they are narrow, but I LOVE that. I have a slightly below average width, and these shoes fit great. Thinking of buying a 2nd pair! ... read more
I have always worn a size 14 in adidas and every other shoe company and these shoes run way to small. I tired purchasing 3 different pairs thinking that it was just the first pair that was a faulty shoe, but then when I received the other two pairs they were crushing my feet. I would have to buy 1 size larger to make them fit. ... read more

Although the effectiveness of cervical cancer screening has been firmly established in reproductive-age women, its usefulness in older women is unclear. We sought to evaluate the efficacy of cervical cancer screening in older women.
We conducted a case–control study within two integrated health care systems in the northwestern United States. Cases (n = 69) were women aged 55–79 years who were diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer during 1980–1999. Controls (n = 208) were women with an intact uterus and no diagnosis of cervical cancer, but otherwise similar to cases in terms of age and length of enrollment in the health plan. We reviewed medical records to ascertain screening history during the 7 years prior to reference date.
Compared to cases, controls were more likely to have received a Pap test. After adjustment for age and current smoking status, screening prior to an estimated 1-year duration of the occult invasive phase of cervical cancer was associated with a substantial reduction in risk [odds ratio (OR) 0.23; 95 % CI 0.11–0.44]. Similar results were obtained using different estimates of the duration of the occult invasive phase. Analysis of the relative incidence of invasive cervical cancer in relation to the time following a negative screening test suggested a large reduction during the first year (OR 0.09; 95 % CI 0.03–0.24). The incidence remained low for several years thereafter, returning to the incidence among unscreened women after 5–7 years.
Cervical cancer screening by means of cytology is highly efficacious in older women. Our findings also suggest that five-yearly screening is approximately as efficacious as more frequent screening.

Using UAM and loving it, by far one of the best pugins for advanced user management out there.
Not sure if this is even possible with UAM:
1 . Have a public page where future users fill out the form.
2. Users are added to a group that sees categories assigned to it.
3. I'd like to hide the page with the form for the users in that group, if they are logged in.
Not sure if UAM is even my answer. Any nudge in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

A new algorithm for synchrophasor estimation is proposed to improve estimation accuracy under dynamic conditions. The real component of a constantly rotating vector and a low-frequency band-limited vector, which is linearized by Taylor series, is employed to model supplied signals in power systems. And dynamic characteristics of power systems are described in form of Taylor series' derivatives, which are calculated through consecutive phasors. The accuracy of phasor estimation was dramatically improved by the reassignment of estimation of short-time Fourier transform (STFT) with knowledge of these derivatives. Simulation results allow us to make the conclusion that the proposed algorithm improves the accuracy of phasor estimations under dynamic conditions dramatically, such as frequency ramping, low frequency oscillation, etc., at the cost of the calculation burden is a minimal increase whilst still meeting the requirements of the application for power systems.

Wow Ute fans really hate BYU. Can't even make a posative comment about them. O'well. Have fun in Las Vegas Bowl. Thought you had left for greener pastures. Likely you'll be creamed by Boise St or TCU. And I was rooting for you to make an impact, just not a crater!

Not all Ute fans say that BYU hasn't won any big games. Bradford was put out of the game in'09 because the BYU defense looked stellar in that game. I've watched BYU games when my Utes aren't playing. Sometimes I cheer for the Y and sometimes their opponents. I, like most Ute fans, just think it's sad that cougar fans live entirely in the oast and don't even look at their current faults or the current landscape of college football. BYU has everything it needs to put a good team on the field except the players, with a few exceptions. Unfortunately, they seem to be more interested in conversions than recruitment. LaVell knew the difference. It's too bad Bronco can't figure it out. As a Ute fan, 17-16 games are much more exciting than beat-downs.

I wonder what future recruits will think when Utah plays in the rose bowl and fights for a national championship
"My grandfather said this is even more exciting than when the Utes went to the Sugar Bowl when he was little."
"My grandfather said Utah would have made it to the Rose Bowl sooner if the Utes hadn't gone 0-3 to start their first year in the PAC."
"The Utes must be excited to be playing the National Championship game against Vanderbuilt/Duke/Iowa State/Northwestern."

As a BYU fan, I have to say this is pathetic. BYU fans are reduced to reading articles about BYU games played decades ago agains the Big 12, now that we apparently won't be invited to join the conference. I hope someday we get the full story and understand whether in fact BYU was invited to join the Big 12 and turned it down or whether this was all just a pipe dream. Although independence has some advantages, the truth is BYU cannot schedule meaningful late-season games as an independent. Hopefully the powers that be realize BYU would get far more exposure playing in a BCS conference than they will by being able to rebroadcast their games with Weber State or Nevada State. If the Big 12 really extended an invite and BYU turned it down, hopefully it was for some reason more meaningful than not wanting to play football on Conference Saturday or being able to rebroadcast volleyball games. I hope I'm wrong, but I am afraid that BYU may be on a path to long-term football mediocrity and irrelevance.

I am using Hyper cache (rather than super cache or W3). I was wondering if it will be working flawlessly ?
I am using Hyper cache (rather than super cache or W3). I was wondering if it will be working flawlessly ?
I'm afraid it is not working. I quickly installed it on my test blog and it does not work. At this stage the best solution for mobile and cache is Super Cache. I will try to reach satollo and see if we can do something to improve the situation.
Sorry about this.
No prob. Thanks
Actually I am looking at really static along with db cache relaoded.
Trying WordPress Mobile Pack together with Hyper Cache on WP3.0 RC1 in Multisite mode, I have the impression it works just fine...
You have to check the option "Detect mobile devices" on the Hyper Cache settings page. There is a list of mobile agents below it. No idea if that list matches the list that WP Mobile Pack uses though...
FYI I have submitted to satollo a working version of Hypercache modified to integrate nicely with WPMP
And they have been officially integrated: http://www.satollo.net/hyper-cache-2-7-0-and-wordpress-mobile-pack

What's The Most Bizarre Shipping Method?
Did you know the United States Postal Service still uses mules?
Did you know the United States Postal Service still uses mules?
The USPS is replacing the squat little vans you're use to seeing around the neighborhood, and is now trying to find a replacement. This sketch has just been released as an idea of what the Postal Service has in mind.
The United States Postal Service is reviewing bids for America's new mail truck this summer, but we here at Jalopnik have already done the hard work for them. You're welcome, USPS.
The US Postal Service runs about 200,000 Grumman Long Live Vehicles (LLV) all over the country, which you'd recognize as the pokey little vans that look like they're made of Legos. After some 30 years of braving snow, rain, heat, and gloom of night, Uncle Sam has a long list of specs they want for the next mail truck.
Email may be impersonal, email may be unromantic, but at least email isn't flammable. Unfortunately for hundreds of thousands of Orange County letter-writers, paper is.
Chrysler invented the minivan. Now they're using it to try weaseling more money from the government by applying for a loan to give the post office a fleet of electric Town & Country minivans. Progress!

TEMPE, Ariz. -- To get to the Arizona Cardinals' headquarters, you get off Highway 10 and ride one mile up Warner Road. The road wasn't named for new Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner, but by the end of the football season, he might be able to claim it.
"How many times has a two-time MVP ever left his team and gone somewhere else?" Warner said. "There is always that question, 'Why is he not in St. Louis anymore?' The Cardinals are getting the guy they wanted to get."
At 35, Warner still believes. He comes to a Cardinals squad that is arguably the sleeper team to watch in the NFC. Defensively, the Cardinals look hungry and talented. They are loaded at wide receiver. They have a coach, Dennis Green, who produced playoff team after playoff team in Minnesota.
It's hard to imagine Warner being as effective as he was when leading St. Louis to Super Bowls following the 1999 and 2001 seasons. When healthy, he could be counted on for 300 yards passing a game and 35 touchdowns a season. He had a swagger. Not mobile, Warner waited until the last second for the receiver to get open. A defender would barrel into him as Warner released the ball. What followed was a touchdown and a crunching sound. Warner took the hits, but as time dragged on in St. Louis, the hits took their toll. He developed a chronic right thumb problem.
On Saturday night against the Dallas Cowboys, some of the old Warner memories were revisited.
In the second quarter, he spotted his new favorite target, Larry Fitzgerald, running a deep inside route. Warner fired. Cowboys linebacker Demarcus Ware made a belated rush to get Warner, but the ball was already heading to Fitzgerald for what ended up as a 31-yard touchdown pass. Warner took a shot and came up shaking his left arm. The hit caused a bruise on the inside of his left arm.
Warner shook it off and went to the sideline. Touchdown passes sometimes come with pain and Warner is willing to endure it for six points.
"I think that's kind of the nature of the beast," Warner said. "I have confidence in the receivers to be where you expect them to be. That's the kind of receivers we have, ones who can run fast and hit routes so I just have to make the read quickly and get the ball out."
In a little more than a quarter in the preseason opener, Warner teased Cardinals fans and Green with some glimpses of the old Warner. He was Warner-like efficient, completing 14 of 19 for 151 yards and a touchdown. His quarterback rating was 114.1, similar to the numbers he put up during 1999-'01 in St. Louis.
Green's offense isn't like Mike Martz's in St. Louis, so the Cards aren't asking for Warner to completely be the old Warner. Green signed Warner for several reasons, primarily to be a field general who wins. The flashy statistics don't mean a lot to him.
"I don't think we are that type of team," Green said of the need for a 4,000-yard quarterback. "I think we are going to be a much improved offensive team. I think this team is going to be a team that has to rely on defense to set things up, to create some turnovers. We are still a year away from being that kind of explosive team. I think we just need a little more balance across the board."
Warner is the face of the new, improved Cardinals, and this face seems more legit than the Emmitt Smith look of the past two years. Smith came to the Cardinals as a ticket attraction. Unfortunately, the team lacked anything close to what Smith had in Dallas, so it lost. Over the past couple of years, the Cardinals have been assembling a talented cast of receivers: Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin and Bryant Johnson.
Yet, for all of the recent offensive additions, the soul of this club is defense.
These Cardinals have a new, meaner-looking bird on the front of the helmet. It doesn't fully capture the ferocity the defense shows on the field. Second-year defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast was one of the stars for Green last year. He took the defense from 26th in 2003 to 12th last year with an aggressive new style.
Although some of the success is attributable to creative five-man fronts and speed, the Cardinals defense is more about attitude and accountability. These guys fly to the football. During Saturday's 13-11 victory over the Cowboys, they attacked Drew Bledsoe and disrupted the offense.
"We are trying to develop a tougher attitude," Pendergast said. "The guys played hard and they flew around last year. Now, we want to be more of a tough-minded defense. We want 11 guys to play with heart. We define heart as hustle, execution, attitude, respect and technique. The guys bought into that. With heart, you are going to fly around to the football."
The Cardinals' 12th-place ranking last year on defense was quite an accomplishment. It happened in the NFC West, which had two top offenses -- St. Louis and Seattle. Since then, the Cardinals have released former first-rounder Wendell Bryant, demoted another first-rounder Calvin Pace and worked younger players into the rotation. Darnell Dockett developed into a top defensive tackle as a rookie at the three-technique. Karlos Dansby took the season to become a playmaker as a strongside linebacker. Bertrand Berry became the star by earning a Pro Bowl spot after a 14½ sack season. David Macklin, a corner, and Adrian Wilson, safety, did well in the secondary.
"I think the Cardinals defenses of the past depended more on speed than the personnel," Wilson said. "Now, we have the personnel to build the defense. I just think the coaches do a great job combing everybody's strength. Coach Pendergast likes the speed off the edge."
The Cardinals defense got better and deeper in the offseason. Cornerback Antrel Rolle, the team's first-round pick this year, came off the bench in the second quarter against the Cowboys and made four plays in a series. He made two good tackles and broke up a couple of passes, including one that went deep. Chike Okeafor is a hustling defensive end with 8½ sack ability but the technique to hold up against the run. The Cardinals like the playmaking ability of weakside linebacker Orlando Huff, who, like Okeafor, came from Seattle. Robert Griffith is a steadying force at safety next to Wilson.
"These guys have playmaking ability," Berry said. "That's the one thing you can never have enough of on defense. These are proven playmakers. Whenever you can bring in two guys [Huff and Okeafor] from division winners, it helps our team. I think Chike's the big sleeper. He's been very productive, and I think he will take a little bit of the blocking pressure off me."
Pendergast improved the Cardinals' third-down defense from 32th to fourth. Sacks rose from 20 to 38. The Cardinals are gearing for more sacks and more forced turnovers in the second year in the system.
"The guys have a better feel for what [Pendergast] wants to get done," Berry said. "We have the attitude of aggression and making plays and being physical. We are taking the fight to the offense. We are not waiting on our heels and waiting for the offense to do something so we can react. Our defense is kinda like a full-court press in football."
But a full-court press and success on defense don't produce wins if Warner can't get the passing offense going. Go ask the Bears what a good defense can do without a solid passing attack. The Cardinals' success on defense should be a given. It's up to Warner to make it work on offense if the Cardinals want to contend in the NFC West.
"There is always that question that I'm sure teams thinking about me were hoping they are getting the guy who has won two MVPs and went to two Super Bowls," Warner said. "I think so. Of course, I'm always biased. The way I feel throwing the football right now is good. I don't feel there is anything that changed in my game. I can still throw the deep ball. I'm still as accurate as before. I wasn't really a mobile guy, so if I lose a step, so what."
The Cardinals are more solid at tackle with Leonard Davis and Oliver Ross than the Giants team Warner played for last year, but there are concerns in the middle of the line. Center Alex Stepanovich is sidelined after wrist surgery on his snapping hand, and even if he comes back at the start of the season, he may have to play guard. Replacing him is Nick Leckey, who is inexperienced. Guards Reggie Wells and Jeremy Bridges aren't big names.
"We think we can play real good and solid on the line but we are so young there," Green said.
Teams will try to test that middle to get to Warner. He's ready. He knows the Cardinals' road to the playoffs goes through him. A road to the facility already bears his name. Now, it's up to him to make that road popular.

Mitchell A.wrote a review of Volcom Blackout Pant - Men's on March 11, 2013
Expensive pants, but worth it.
These are awesome pants, really quality. Nice heavy canvas type material. I think these things will last a long,long time. Nice modern look and cool details. I feel like these were worth the extra money compared to typically priced board pants. The charcoal looks great. I had seen the tan color and they are cool too.

This film reminds me of Renny Harlin's breakthrough film from 1985,
Born American. The scripts are lacking in both movies, but action
sequences are well made and the propaganda aspects are similar. It's no
secret that these films have a heavy anti-Soviet/Russian agenda, and
actually as a Finn myself, I greatly enjoy that Harlin has the b*lls to
p*ss of the Russians. His 1985 movie was especially gutsy considering
that it was BANNED in Finland for a short while! (The government didn't
want to endanger Soviet relations.)
So it's not a neutral movie, but it doesn't need to be. Somebody had to do it, and Harlin was the perfect man for the job. Russians have their own biased movies of this war, so a counterbalance was needed, and I'm sure "5 Days of War" beats the Russian movies by far in entertainment value, and will be seen by millions more.
I did not like the Daniel Craig Bond debut, Casino Royale. The film was
not a typical Bond, it was just an average action movie with weird
directing and uninspiring acting, and it was sometimes even boring.
The same applies to this film, Quantum of Solace, except that it is shorter than its predecessor, and does not have many boring scenes. However, most earlier Bond films manage to fill over two hours of film without no problems.
To me, the current Bond is just a B-class Jack Bauer. Sure the movie has more dramatic action sequences than the TV-series (because of $$$), but Daniel Craig and his character are totally uninspiring and lack any charisma. He is nothing like the previous Bonds. Some people like that, but I do not.
The script is also weak and directing weird. In fact they are so bad that the film is in many ways not even as believable as previous Bond films, even though many individual scenes are more realistic and not so "over the top" as in previous films (is that a good thing for a Bond film is another question). There aren't even any Bond tech gadgets in this film.
All this means that this Bond is not really a "Bond" at all, just an average action movie with big budget. There is not much in particular to like in this film, in fact I hated most of it. Even the action sequences were not that good in my opinion.
The Truman Show is a product of the age before reality television
really took of, and maybe it even contributed to it. Another movie
having a similar concept (and effect?) was Edtv.
10 years ago the concept was original. Now, the whole thing is ALMOST plausible as a television show. In fact in Germany they had a Big Brother format in which they had a whole village as their "Big Brother house". The main difference to this movie being that the contestants naturally knew that they were on a TV-show (but what if they had had babies?).
So basically this movie is not so original anymore. Except for the concept, the plot is pretty thin actually. As most Jim Carrey movies, this one relies a lot on his skills. The movie is entertaining, because Jim Carrey is entertaining.
This isn't really a comedy, and definitely nobody would even consider this a comedy, if Truman was played by somebody else then Carrey.
I think my summary "summarises" this movie pretty well, except that
it's a lot worse than either of those excellent movies.
Basically this movie is about a government super-computer gone rogue. It persuades/pressurizes people to help itself in its objectives, one man in particular, who happens to be the "hero" of this movie, and who is on the run the whole time trying to outrun the officials chasing him.
I'm too smart for this movie. The concept is pure bullshit. Execution is fine and action sequences OK, but the whole concept and script are so stupid that I just wanted the movie to end as soon as possible. I couldn't care less about the fate of the main characters.
I could imagine enjoying this if I was a 12-year-old. I'm not.
In short, Taken is a typical modern fast-paced action film with lots of
detailed violence and somewhat predictable story. But it's really well
made and one of the best of its kind.
Of course the whole concept and the father's paranoia about Europe's unsafeness is stupid considering that Europe in general is a safer place than the USA. Of course daddy's sick paranoia proves right just about 5 minutes after her daughter lands at Paris. Right. And I'm not considering this a spoiler.
Actress Maggie Grace is supposed to look like a 17-year-old? I'm not buying it.
2001: A Space Odyssey + Alien = Sunshine? That's the obvious plan, but
unfortunately it does not quite work out.
This isn't one of those "buddy films" with good soundtrack, or soundtrack at all. This is no Armageddon, except for the general theme (saving the mankind). No, this is more of an art film.
The beginning is slightly promising, albeit boring. After about five minutes I was already thinking that this is probably not going to be a very good movie-experience for me... And I was right. I didn't like the script at all, and it got more and more stupid towards the end. I don't even know where to begin, so I don't.
Maybe if this was made more like a "buddy film" this could've been more interesting to watch, and also some kind of a prologue explaining the background of the story would've been nice. We DID have an epilogue, so there really is no excuse not to have a prologue. Well, money maybe.
I had very high expectations for this film for obvious reasons. I must
say I was a little disappointed.
The film obviously tries to be "clever" and "not so ordinary", but it ends too soon and things really don't get explained very thoroughly. This is a 2-hour film that potentially could have been a great 3-hour film.
Basically, cinematography was great, acting was great, but script was lacking.
And Americans STILL haven't heard of cell phones? Cell phones really must be a pain in the ass for the screenwriters, because they aren't used even in many new films in obvious circuimstances.
Deja Vu is a thriller based on the familiar time travel theme. Not one
time travel movie is "realistic", but some of them are more
"believable" or "easier to swallow" than others.
Well, this one is not one of those.
No matter how convincingly good actors try to make you believe that earth is flat, not round, you still don't believe them. (That was a metaphor. Actors don't actually try to convince you of the flatness of the earth.) That is the problem with Deja Vu. The script is just way too hard to swallow.
Otherwise, the movie has all the goods for a great action packed ride. If you are a 13-year-old kid or just mentally a little bit "sub-par", you can probably even forgive the stupid concept of the movie.
So I didn't like the script. Also what I didn't like were the constant references to god, devil, creationism, Fox News and support for war in Irak. Makes you wonder about the financing of this movie...
If this film had been released in 1999, it would have been much more
interesting... Probably not very convincing though. Anyway, now the
plot was kind of "predictable".
This was basically a dramatized documentary. It had a "made for TV" feel in it. Not many (any) great visual effects, not much action, not very much interesting dialog either. It gives us an illusion of the real-life events occurring as they did and cameras just following the action.
Speaking of dialog, in the real world the hijackers had SOME dialog with the passengers? Not very much in this film...
I can't really say I was disappointed. The film was everything I expected, in a good sense and in a bad sense. But definitely not one of my favourite movies, merely an average one. Of course the ending is touching, but you could not really expect anything but.
Having read all the comments and reviews, this movie was pretty much
what I expected. Moore does a really good job in making his point.
What bothered me a little was his black & white view of the healthcare industry - either it is public OR private. In reality, many western countries have a "hybrid" system. For example here in Finland we have a pretty reasonable public healthcare system (which by the way is not totally free for the patient, albeit very cheap), but in addition, we also have private clinics, if you want even faster service and are willing to pay extra. You can also get an insurance from private companies, which provides extra financial support and/or service in the private clinics in case of illness. Also some workplaces and institutes have free doctors.
A portion of the cost of medicines is substituted by the government in either case, and there is an annual limit after which they are totally substituted.
I think it would be pretty straightforward to establish this kind of system in the US. There is no need to socialize healthcare TOTALLY. There is no need for the insurance company to "go" (as Moore put it), they just need to step aside a little and stop being the main authority. Also, if insurance companies have to compete with FREE (health care), there is only one thing they can do: offer really good service!
