Madero in coordination with the Special Olympics Sub City. This event was in honor of EKS Day celebration. During the opening ceremony, after taking the athletes pledge with the judges, a tribute was paid to Eunice Kennedy Shriver, where it was mentioned that thanks to her initiative, Special Olympics is the world's largest program for people with intellectual disability which has very significant presence in Mexico. Several clubs like Armando Angeles (football and athletics) Beautiful People (football and athletics) IGZA Newts (Swimming) Club, JEI (Swimming), Kintum (Swimming), YMCA (Soccer), Roadrunner (Athletics) and other clubs present at the GAM joined ranks in this beautiful sport partnership. Awards were given by the Assistant Director of Sports Promotion and by Mr. Israel Ramirez. We boarded the GAM bus and moved to Deportivo Los Hermanos Galeana, where the event took place. Some competitions were held in the name unified sports with athletes demonstrating tremendous ability. For the sports authorities and judges who for the first time were attending an event for athletes with intellectual disabilities, it was a wonderful experience to see the performance of our athletes. They offered their facilities for future events as well as opened their doors in all sports for training and recruitment of new athletes. For all this celebration was a pleasant experience .

For the second consecutive season, the committee has produced a bracket that has little with which to contend. OK, there's always room for some quibbling
But the top eight teams are accounted for properly (we'll debate this more in a bit and discuss a potential future Pandora's box). For the most part, the geography is a good fit (and that can be a real challenge). And the bracket is fairly balanced. The next three weeks should bring a fair and competitive tournament, and that means the committee did its job. But there are always some questions.
Why put Connecticut and Rutgers in the same region?
The committee has set up a potential third matchup between the Big East rivals -- the Huskies are a 1-seed and Rutgers is a No. 2 in Greensboro -- for the right to go to the Final Four. Such a situation could not have existed last year, but a revision to the bracketing procedures this summer allowed the committee some flexibility in placing teams from the same league in the same region as long as the two wouldn't meet until the regional final. Previously, teams from the same league could not be seeded among the first four seeds in a region.
The question all season long in the land of Bracketology was whether would the committee actually do it. We have our answer now.
According to the NCAA selection committee chairwoman, Judy Southard, it sort of plays out like a draft, with the top selection going to the region closest to its campus. So in this scenario, we would look at Stanford as the first No. 2 seed and getting to go to Spokane, then LSU getting Baton Rouge as the next No. 2. Let's assume Rutgers was next, so it would get Greensboro because it's closest. Then Texas A&M falls into Oklahoma City.
Southard went on to say it had to be done this way to protect the balance of the bracket. In this case, she's correct, or at least close to correct. This year, it all really works out among those top-eight teams (unless you are really opposed to the UConn-Rutgers setup; I don't like it, but I can live with it). However, this placement by S-curve-ranking philosophy could have some problems in other scenarios and other years. The committee might have created a slippery slope for itself.
For instance, what if the No. 5 overall team is located in the same geographical area as the overall No. 1? Here's a hypothetical: NC State is the fifth-rated team on the board. Based on all of Southard's explanation on this today, that would put the Wolfpack, the top No. 2 seed, in the same region with the top No. 1 seed, UConn. Immediately, just five teams into the process, an unbalanced bracket has been established. Avoiding such a thing is supposed be the very first principle of bracketing. That seems to be what happened in 2006 with North Carolina and Tennessee in the same regional ( it also seems to be the reason that North Carolina and Tennessee were paired in the same region on the men's side this year, which was the biggest injustice -- not Arizona State -- on the men's side but barely discussed).
It was wrong then, and following this geography principle this strictly, is wrong now. That ideal can too often lead to competitively unfair placement of teams.
Southard said doing anything different this year would have created imbalance and that this was the most balanced bracket in years. All true. This year. But geography cannot take precedent over competitive balance and fairness. The message on this Selection Monday is that geography is first. That is a huge mistake.
Why Florida State?
No one outside the war room will ever know for sure, but the Seminoles had to be the last team in. The question is, should they have been? The answer here is no, but it isn't that simple. This isn't like the argument on the men's side where pundits were asking, Why not Arizona State? This is more of a argument against, rather than an argument for, mainly because the teams to argue for aren't great, either. They are just better than the Seminoles.
Florida State had an RPI in the high 50s, won merely 18 games, had a losing record on the road, finished with five losses in its last eight games (4-6 in the last 10), and had two sub-100 losses. And those aren't even the reasons why the Seminoles should not have made the field. The biggest reason is they didn't beat anyone. Florida State went 1-11 vs. the top 50, and its only win among those 12 games was against Florida, which was not tournament-worthy.
The Seminoles clearly got credit for close losses to Maryland, Georgia and Virginia. Southard added that eight losses for the Seminoles came against the RPI top-15. Understandably, not all losses are created equal. She also mentioned the Seminoles' nine games without leading scorer Tanae Davis-Cain. Injuries are to be evaluated, but in this case the injury provision was applied incorrectly. Some sort of difference in a team's performance needs to result from a key player missing time. Florida State didn't beat anyone with Davis-Cain -- just as it didn't beat anyone without her. Her absence is far less relevant than it seems the committee viewed it.
The bottom line is this: Florida State got a gift. That the Seminoles were among the three survivors from the group of 11 teams that Southard said the committee discussed for those spots is perplexing.
But if we're arguing Florida State should not have been included, someone else has to go in. The choice here is Michigan State.
The Spartans have five wins vs. the top 50, wins over tourney at-large teams Kansas State, Ohio State and Minnesota, and finished stronger. The case against the Spartans is that they did lose 13 times, like Florida State, had a losing road record and a loss outside the top-100.
Michigan State is still not a great choice, but a better one than Florida State. And the Spartans are a better choice than Auburn, as well. If Davis-Cain's injury was noted, then I'm sure the difference between Auburn with and without Whitney Boddie was discussed as well.
Since the point guard's academic suspension, Auburn went 11-10 with only one quality win (over Georgia by 30). The Tigers' only wins in the last month of the season were over sub-100 Arkansas (three times), sub-100 Alabama and sub-90 South Carolina. Not good and not tournament-worthy.
However, here is where it becomes hard to criticize too much on this issue. None of these teams have been very good and aren't likely to have a lasting impact on this tournament anyway. This is really like deciding between your younger sibling and the nerdy kid down the street who is afraid of the ball for your last pick on the baseball team. You really can't go right. However, the committee could have gotten closer to right with this selection. Florida State was not the best of the worst in this instance. Michigan State was.
Why Maryland over Stanford for the No. 1 seed in Spokane?
Ultimately, this is not a big issue because these clubs are in the same region anyway and also have the benefit of playing first- and second-round games at home. Being a No. 1 seed is a badge of honor (the reaction on the NCAA Selection Show from the two teams said it all), so all the talk is worthwhile.
Stanford has been the choice in this space and it still is today, but these clubs are so ridiculously close that arguing too loudly is wasted air. The Cardinal went 12-1 against tournament teams. Maryland went 13-3. Both outstanding. Stanford a bit better. Thus, let the Cardinal wear the mantle of a No. 1 seed. The committee found reason to disagree and obviously pointed to Stanford's losses to USC and UCLA as the reason.
did Utah fall to a No. 8 seed?
The Utes went 27-4 overall, unbeaten in the Mountain West, and 7-2 (wins over Fresno State, Minnesota, Nebraska, and New Mexico and Wyoming each twice) against tournament teams, yet were give a No. 8 seed. They also open the tournament on the road against Purdue in West Lafayette, Ill., with the prize being a likely meeting with Tennessee in the second round.
Conference tournaments are supposed to only be one piece of the puzzle, but it clearly appears that Utah's stunning loss to Colorado State, which was 3-27 at the time, weighed heavily on the minds of people in that room and impacted the decision on Utah. It should have entered the discussion. It shouldn't have mattered as much as it would seem it did.
For the sake of comparison, let's look at the No. 6 seed in the same Oklahoma City Regional. The Sun Devils, even while playing an overall better schedule, were lower in the RPI. They also went 2-8 vs. the top-50, lost 10 games and, most importantly, went a meager 3-9 vs. other teams in the field.
Even if the comparison is just record vs. at-large teams in the field, Utah is 4-0, while Arizona State is 1-6. Strength of schedule is the only category of note that the Sun Devils have the upper hand. Even if both clubs were moved one seed line for bracketing reasons, at best the committee saw Utah and Arizona State as equal. The numbers above do much more than suggest otherwise.
Tennessee and Rutgers might potentially play road games in the second round?
Higher seeds being put in road situations is not unusual in the current format. However, this is the second season in a row for both of these programs. Yet the committee says it tries to avoid that kind of frequency. In fact, Rutgers will be playing in the home state of a first- or second-round opponent for the fifth time in the last six tournaments.
This is more of an observation than a criticism. No one wants this circumstance, but it can be impossible to avoid and it was as difficult as ever this season. If there was a way around it, the committee would have found that way.
The selection committee did another fine job and it's not an easy one. Most of the disagreements are relatively small. Most.
The placement based solely on geography is not a small issue. That philosophy could have major negative implications on the competitive balance of future tournaments. If this selection gave us anything, it was clarity on this part of the process. Seeing clearly can actually be bad if what's up ahead isn't so pleasing.
It worked out fine this time around, but let this be a warning light. If competitive balance is truly the first priority, then the strict process in which teams were placed in the bracket in 2008 needs to be looked at before we get to 2009.

I need help with a code implementation. I am using the below code to display a specific widget on page parent (level 1) and child pages (level 2) however I realized I also need to have the widget on a third level (grand children) pages.
To make it more clear, the code is working fine for the first two levels:
> Parent (special widget shows)
>> Child (special widget shows)
>>> Grand Child ( special widget is not showing)
This is the code:
<?php if (is_page( '8' ) || '8' == $post->post_parent) { ?>
Special widget
<?php } else { ?>
<?php } ?>
Does anyone know how to implement this code to check if the page "8" is an ancestor?
Thanks in advance.

Talk about a great garage-sale find. A man in California stumbled on a collection of negatives shot by famed photographer Ansel Adams.
Ten years ago, he paid $45 for the shots of Yosemite, Carmel and other landscapes. It's taken him until now to confirm their authenticity.
They've been estimated to be worth at least $200 million.
The glass negatives were believed destroyed in a fire. Art experts say they're a major missing link in Adams' career.

A Shortfall in Leasing Coal From Federal Lands:
What Effect on National Energy Goals?
EMD-80-87: Published: Aug 22, 1980. Publicly Released: Aug 22, 1980.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Serious problems which involve not leasing enough coal, not selecting the best coal areas for lease, and not having needed coal data are indicated in the Department of the Interior's lease sale in the Green River-Hams Fork region of Colorado and Wyoming. Unless these problems are corrected early, Federal lands may not contribute significantly to meeting the Nation's need for more coal. Because much of the Nation's most accessible and economically minable coal lies on Federal or interspersed non-Federal lands in the West, leasing policies hold an important key to whether this gap can and will be filled. Interior establishes coal leasing targets by considering the difference between its mine production estimates and the Department of Energy's (DOE) demand estimates to determine the amount of coal production that must be generated from new Federal leasing. Factors such as mine life, Federal/non-Federal coal ownership ratio, coal recovery ratio, and the level of uncertainty are all taken into consideration.
For the 1981 Green River-Hams Fork sale, at least three times more coal needs to be leased than is presently called for in the leasing target. Interior will not be able to make available sufficient amounts of additional coal to make up for the 1981 leasing shortfall. Immediate action is necessary to assure that enough coal is made available to meet the region's projected coal demand. Exclusion of formal expressions of leasing interest during land use planning may unnecessarily restrict coal development and force it to less economically and possibly even less environmentally suitable locations. Selection of low-quality coal areas not only could result in leasing less economically suitable coal, but also could limit the amount of higher quality coal that could be leased in the future. Industry is currently interested in mining some areas that may not be considered for leasing until 1987 or later. The request for and use of industry input would give better focus on where land use planning should be done. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) does not have sufficient information to identify and evaluate tracts to meet the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) planning schedules. Their condensed timeframe for coal data acquisition may severely restrict the number of tracts that could be delineated and considered for leasing and may limit competition. The private sector could do more pre-lease drilling if encouraged. A decision by Interior at the time licenses are granted would give industry added incentive to invest in exploration activity.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed
Comments: Please call 202/512-6100 for additional information.
Recommendation: Interior should initiate immediate plans for a follow-on sale to meet the region's projected coal demand and, with DOE, review leasing targets. Interior should require BLM to: (1) request expressions of interest in possible lease tracts for all land use planning areas that contain Federal coal; (2) ensure that land use planning for coal is not limited to known recoverable coal resource areas when development interest is indicated by industry and coal data are available elsewhere; (3) decide whether or how threshold development levels will be used; and (4) coordinate with USGS before determining the time to be allotted for USGS work in activity planning, allowing at least one drilling season for the tract delineation process. Interior should require USGS to develop long-range plans for coal exploration activities in direct support of tract delineation and obtain formal public input; appoint permanent tract delineation team leaders; and clarify procedures for making reserve estimates and establish formal quality control procedures in the reserve estimate computation process. Interior should develop explicit procedures under which land exchange applicants could drill candidate exchange tracts and inform those who obtain an exploration license whether they will or will not be allowed to bid on the tract if it is offered for lease. The Secretary of Agriculture should require the Chief of the Forest Service to direct his staff to rely on USGS standards for coal reserve estimates for land-use planning and to coordinate with USGS concerning proposed drilling sites so that USGS can plan drilling and other exploration activities to prepare for future leasing and the preparation of land use plans.

SQL Server team has done some great amount of work in SQL Server 2005 to make the performance analysis of server easy. I am going to post a series of code snippets which I find useful in my day to day work.
Memory Analysis
Let us assume we have a scenario which executes a bunch of queries. For a high level analysis of a given scenario, execute the following command - DBCC MEMORYSTATUS Buffer Counts Buffers------------------------------ -----------Committed 4192Target 117091Hashed 2985InternalReservation 25ExternalReservation 0Min Free 64Visible 117091 See http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?id=271624 for help on DBCC MEMORYSTATUS command and its output. For a description of changes in the command for SQL Server 2005, see http://blogs.msdn.com/slavao/comments/372309.aspx. This shows the distribution of pages in the SQL Server cache. "Hashed Pages" states the number of data pages in the buffer pool. This query can be executed before and after the scenario to see the change in the buffer pool distribution. The distribution of pages across databases can be found by executing SELECT COUNT(*) "Total Pages", database_id FROM sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors GROUP BY database_id ORDER BY 1 DESCCOMPUTE SUM (COUNT(*)) Total Pages database_id----------- -----------557 7449 6342 32767301 4265 5263 1179 2127 856 3 -----------2539
Once the database with the maximum pages has been identified, executing the following command for the offending database should give the distribution of hashed pages in the buffer pool on per object basis- SELECT A.Count, Object_Name(ObjID), ObjId, B.NameFROM ( SELECT COUNT(*) count, p.object_id ObjID, p.index_id IndId FROM sys.partitions p JOIN sys.allocation_units a ON p.partition_id = a.container_id JOIN sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors c ON a.allocation_unit_id = c.allocation_unit_id AND database_id = db_id() GROUP BY p.object_id , p.index_id ) ALEFT OUTER JOIN sys.indexes B ON B.object_id = A.objid AND B.index_id = A.IndIdORDER BY 2,1COMPUTE SUM(A.Count)
After finding out the table for which the maximum pages are present in the database, we can attack the queries which are running queries on the table in question.

PyTopo is a Python-gtk map viewer which interprets local tiled map data and displays it in an interactive viewer, where you can scroll to adjacent maps, switch between resolutions, or produce a map image for printing or editing.
Why does PyTopo exist? I needed a local, offline mapping program that worked on Linux.
I like to travel to remote locations with no network access, and of course I want maps once I'm there. When I first started PyTopo, smartphones didn't exist yet, and even in the smartphone age I often want a larger map than I can show on a phone screen, with a user interface that's easier to use for showing things like track logs.
Originally PyTopo was written to use data from National Geographic's commercial Topo! data CDs. Since then, it has expanded to use OpenStreetMap tiles as well as several other tile open sources. (Not Google Maps, since Google's terms of service doesn't permit other programs to use their tiles.)
Download: PyTopo hosted on Github.
There's a really old experimental MeeGo package for anyone interested in trying it, and I'd be interested to know if it works on other RPM platforms as well: PyTopo-1.0-1-beta1.noarch.rpm.
The first time you run pytopo, it will create a configuration file, typically ~/.config/pytopo/pytopo.sites (if it can't create that it will fall back to ~/.pytopo instead).
You might want to take a look at the file: this is where you can add additional map collections or sites you visit frequently. By default, pytopo will download OpenStreetMap tiles to ~/Maps. Of course, you can change that. See the PyTopo File Formats page for more details.
pytopo -p will print out a list of known sites.
With the initial default configuration you'll just have a few cities like
san-francisco, new-york, london, sydney;
this is mostly to show you how to add your own points of interest.
|Left, Right,
Up, Down
|Scroll the map in the indicated direction.
|+/=, -
|Zoom in or out.
|Save the current map to a file under $HOME/Topo
|Print (to standard output) the current coordinates of map center.
Clicking in the map displays the coordinates of where you clicked, as well as the distance and bearing from the last clicked point.
Dragging and mousewheel move and scroll the map, as you'd expect.
Click on a track or waypoint to select it and see what's known about it.
Right mouse click will bring up a menu offering other options.
Usage: pytopo site_name pytopo trackfile... pytopo [trackfile...] start_lat start_long collection pytopo -p Use degrees.decimal_minutes format for coordinates. Set up site names in ~/.pytopo Print list of known sites with pytopo -p Track files are GPX files which may contain track points and/or waypoints; multiple track files are allowed.
|San Francisco from the default setup.
|Several tracklogs and waypoints hiking in the DOE-owned lands near White Rock, NM.
|Tacklogs and waypoints above Lexington reservoir near Los Gatos, using USGS/Topo! dara
Aside from OpenStreetMap data, pytopo can use local map data on disk or CD.
The Topo! local area and specific park map packages sold in camping/hiking stores (sometimes under the aegis of National Geographic) are reasonably priced as a source of map data. They come with Windows software, but Linux users can ignore the software and use the data files, which are standard GIF, named in a fairly straightforward way. They're a good source of US map data.
Caution: the Topo! Back Roads Explorer and the statewide explorer collections are not in this friendly format. They use large data files in a proprietary ".tpq" format. Tom Trebisky has analyzed the format and has written an extractor, and he also has a C GTK viewer for this format. (Eventually I hope to integrate direct support for them into pytopo as well.)
You can buy map bits directly from the USGS, but they have a hefty setup fee so it's not cost effective unless you're buying quite a lot.
For some areas, you can download topo maps; for instance, for California you can get maps in TIFF format from the California Spatial Information Library. You still have to split up the maps into maplets, though; if you have ImageMagick, you can use a command like
convert in-map.jpg -rotate 90 -crop 300x300 -repage +0+0 out-map%02d.jpg
Note: previously I included -trim as part of that line, and a lot of pages you'll find googling for image splitting will tell you to use -trim. Don't: it will give you maps of inconsistent sizes, and pytopo has no way to tell where the origin of the map should be.
A map split this way can be read with PyTopo 0.5 or later. Maps downloaded as PDF (such as USGS geologic maps) might work in imagemagick, but if not, try converting them to a raster format before splitting, using a program like GIMP or a command like
gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -r300 -sOutputFile=output-map.jpg input-map.pdf
If you want to contribute to PyTopo, or use the code for something else,
you'll probably want to know more about the classes it uses, in the
PyTopo API Documentation.
(This is generated with
epydoc --no-frames pytopo
and is not guaranteed to be up to date.)
I wrote some older commandline helper scripts, but honestly, I don't use them myself and don't vouch for them. I list them here merely on the chance that someone might find one of them a useful building block:

I think this FBI informant had a geek crush on Ray Bradbury. He wanted to stalk him at all costs. He invented this elaborate "Communist-angle" ruse to justify to his superiors the inordinate amount of time he used obsessing over Bradbury's every move, admiring him from afar. I imagine it's easier to maintain this fib than do actual work of any value.
This would make a good comedy sketch, actually! Like a variant of The Tailor of Panama.

I actually invested money into the now dissolved Canadian company, Nexia Biotechnologies, which was the first to do the spider-goats. You are entirely correctly. Spinning the silk is the harder second part. The gains in reducing cost per meter couldn't keep the pace with similar gains in carbon nanotubes, which competed for many of the same practical applications. Nexia's first path to market was to be superstrong medical sutures. At first, the FDA promised expensive human trials would not be needed since the proteins were naturally occurring. When the FDA later about-faced, it was Game Over for Nexia, who sold the IP rights to a company in Virginia. They also sold the IP behind their proven anti-chemical warfare agents. But the tyrants of the world never used chemical warfare against the US military, so that was (thankfully) also a financial bust.
Nexia was also trying to GMO a plant crop that could grow the silk protein in their leaves. After harvesting, the leaves would be grinded and sifted. However, you're still back to the same Spinning Problem that you highlighted.

The activities of whole cells, cell extracts (CE), and a combination of both on sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar protein extracts were determined by protein, peptide, and free-amino-acid analyses. Proteinase from whole cells initiated the hydrolysis of sarcoplasmic proteins. The addition of CE intensified the proteolysis. Whole cells generated hydrophilic peptides from both sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins. Other peptides of a hydrophobic nature resulted from the combination of whole cells and CE, The action of both enzymatic sources on myofibrillar proteins caused maximal increases in lysine, arginine, and leucine, while the action of those on sarcoplasmic proteins mainly released alanine, In general, pronounced hydrolysis of muscle proteins required enzyme activities from whole cells in addition to those supplied by CE.

Forecast snow and cold temperatures today will be welcomed by
skiers, snowboarders and organisers of the 40th Queenstown
Winter Festival but the forecast has forced Australian
breakfast show Sunrise to postpone its broadcast from Coronet
The Channel Seven team will broadcast live from the resort
today and tomorrow and had planned to base itself at Coronet
Peak today.
However, the weather forecast means the programme will now be
broadcast from Queenstown Bay, outside Novotel Queenstown
Lakeside from 9am today, moving to Coronet Peak tomorrow.
New Zealand performers Stan Walker and Ginny Blackmore will
now perform from Queenstown Bay, while Coronet Peak will host
Australian urban pop group Justice Crew tomorrow morning.
Coronet Peak ski area manager Ross Copland said today's
predicted snow combined with a forecast for clear skies on
Friday meant ''every cloud has its silver lining''.
''It was a tough call, but we want to put on the best show we
can for our Aussie neighbours.''
On Friday, the ski area will also be screening the England v
Uruguay World Cup football match from 7am in the cafe, so
residents and visitors can arrive early, watch the football
and the broadcast and make a day of it on the mountain.
''We'll have an area especially set aside for fans to watch
the Sunrise broadcast and Justice Crew.''

We study the evolution of polymorphic life histories in anadromous semelparous salmon and the effects of harvesting. We derive dynamic phenotypic and genetic ESS models for describing the evolutionary dynamics. We show in our deterministic analysis that polymorphisms are not possible in a panmictic random mating population. Instead, genetic or behavioral polymorphisms may be observed in populations with assortative mating systems. Positive assortative mating may be supported and generated by behavioral and phenotypic traits like male mate choice, spawning ground selection by phenotype, or within-river homing-migration-distance by size. In the case of an evolutionarily stable dimorphism, the ESS is characterized by a reproductive ideal free distribution such that at an equilibrium the individuals are indifferent from the fitness point of view between the two life histories of early and late reproduction. Different strategy models - that is, phenotypic and genetic ESS models - yield identical behavioral predictions and, consequently, genetics does not seem to play an important role in the present model. An evolutionary response to increased fishing mortality is obvious and may have resource management implications. High sea fishing mortalities drive the populations toward early spawning. Thus it is possible that unselective harvesting at sea may eliminate, depending on the biological system, behavioral polymorphisms or genetic heterozygozity and drive the population to a monomorphic one. If within-river homing migration distances depend on the size of fish, unselective harvesting at sea, or selective harvesting of spawning runs in rivers, may reduce local population sizes on spawning grounds high up rivers. Finally, harvesting in a population may cause a switch in a dominant life-history strategy in a population so that anticipated sustainable yields cannot be realized in practice.

My Cousin overcoming his stutter because of his boxing hero. I want to share this.
My cousin passed away recently so I feel like I wanted to share this story.
He had the worst stutter imaginable for the longest time. I remember that he could barely get words out and just stopped talking so he won't feel embarrassed. I remember the weekend I found out about his idol. My Aunt told me that he's favorite athlete is a British Heavyweight. I immediately thought Lennox Lewis (who's my favorite), so I was really excited that weekend because I wanted to talk Lewis... I went into his room and Jesus Christ .... there was two big Audley Harrison posters looking at me (I didn't even know Audley had posters) I started laughing right away and kept on making fun of my cousin for idolizing one of the biggest frauds and jokes in Heavyweight History. He walked out the room and left me there laughing, I stopped laughing when I saw the two big quotes underneath the poster..
'Setbacks pave way for Come Backs'
'Yes I can'
I guess those two quotes and the way Audley kept on trying again and again somehow touched my cousin in a way I'll never understand. I remember certain weekends I'll go visit him and he'll be up in his room trying to say those two quotes without stuttering... yet failing again and again. Last year was his first year in college and I remember the day when he dropped by to visit me with the biggest grin I ever seen .. and the first words he shouted at me was
He finally did it, he overcame his stuttering.. I guess I was happy for him but never really paid much attention to just how great of a feat that was and how much of an impact Audley's two quotes had on him. He recently died in a car accident and I realized that maybe to everyone else Audley was a joke, (he certainly is a joke to me) but certain aspects of who Audley Harrison is and the way he live his life might motivate people in ways that most of us can never understand.
Set Backs pave way for come backs.... Audley will probably fail again, but I'm glad his quotes brought my cousin a measure of happiness and peace.

Re: My Cousin overcoming his stutter because of his boxing hero. I want to share this
Sorry to hear your cousin died tragically.
Great to hear that he was able to overcome his stutter.
Audley had nothing to do with it.
Your cousin bravely and faithfully tended his growing sense of self-belief and this is what allowed him to overcome his stutter.
Audley doesn't believe in himself and he never did. He is a compulsive liar and a conman. He isn't brave and he isn't honourable. Audley would never have been able to overcome your cousin's stutter in a million years.
Your cousin is the exact opposite of Audley. Whereas your cousin appeared to be a loser but turned out to be a winner, Audley appeared to be a winner who turned out to be a loser. Audley never tries. He gives up as soon as he gets up in the morning. Unlike your cousin, who tried and tried and tried until he overcame a big challenge. Audley is like an alcoholic who continues to promise that tomorrow he will give up drinking. Your cousin certainly wasn't.

Here's a MMO-Champion thread in which Ramsesakama sets out to recreate the World of Warcraft realm of Kalimdor in the maker-friendly game/environment Minecraft, in faithful 1:1 scale. Using procedural tools and a lot of skull-sweat, the task is undertaken, with awfully fabulous results.
I'm trying to create a replica of Kalimdor in Minecraft, and I want it to be the correct scale. I'd like to create the terrain first, so I need to compute the relative distances (in Minecraft blocks) between the different locations in Kalimdor.
If a Minecraft character is approximately two blocks tall, and if we assume the male Orc model is equal in size, then how many blocks is "one yard" in WoW?

Why did we do it? We had a lot of reasons actually, but above all there is one thing that's NOT the reason. Most probably we will disappoint a lot of people, even make more than a few a little angry for a while. That, in itself, has never, ever been our purpose. We consider that to be a collateral matter. However, enough about what wasn't the reason for doing it.Read the rest
The main reason why we did it is; because we could! But, of course, we don't do everything we can. One should imagine that we have a lot of people with an account on Phaserinc.com. That account will be secured with probably the same password as their EVE online accounts. We could have easily run all these accounts through our EVE client and stolen a lot of assets as well as ISK.

Defense of Marriage Act letters to DHS, EOIR and OIL
Released on Wed, Apr 06, 2011
AILA and AIC, joined by dozens of other organizations, submitted letters to DHS, EOIR and OIL urging the adoption of interim measures in immigration cases involving same-sex marriages pending final judicial or legislative resolution regarding Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Among the interim measures proposed, the letters ask the agencies to hold in abeyance all petitions and applications that are based upon a same-sex marriage and to administratively close or otherwise continue all removal cases in which relief may be available based upon a same-sex marriage.

Katie Couric married fiancé John Molner in an intimate ceremony in East Hampton, New York, on Saturday.
The couple, who got engaged last September after dating for two years, tied the knot in the backyard of Couric's home in front of 50 friends and family.
"We wanted to keep the wedding just very low-key," Couric, 57, told PEOPLE before the wedding. "This is not my first rodeo so I didn't want to go too crazy and neither did John."
The ceremony, which Couric says had "traditional touches," featured readings by Molner's children, Allie and Henry, as well as Couric's daughters with late husband Jay Monahan, Ellie, 22, and Carrie, 18. Couric's youngest daughter also sang for the couple, Molner's nieces were flower girls and there were two ring bearers.
So excited to make my debut as Mrs. John Molner! pic.twitter.com/UjvmtT2ki0
Katie Couric (@katiecouric) June 22, 2014
The bride wore an ivory beaded and embroidered Chantilly lace halter gown by Carmen Marc Valvo that she'd finally decided on just one week before the wedding.
And bucking with tradition, she'd asked her groom to help her make the final decision. "I hope this isn't bad luck but I actually tried it on for him," she admitted. "I tried on a number of dresses and I was so busy, I had a crazy spring."
Over the past couple of months, Couric wrapped up her talk show, embarked on her new role as a Yahoo! News Global Anchor, released a documentary, Fed Up, and celebrated her daughter Carrie's high school graduation.
In fact, she was so busy that Molner, 51, ended up involved in a lot of the wedding planning.
"I call John 'Groomzilla!' " Couric said. "We're a very modern couple."

NuVitality's White Mulberry Leaf Extract Now Stocked
After popularity of Pure White Mulberry Leaf Extract exceeded supply, NuVitality has restocked with larger bottles and an enhanced formula.
The new larger bottles now contain 120 White Mulberry capsules instead of only 60 capsules, giving customers more of what they demanded. "The serving suggestion is two capsules per day," said a spokesperson for NuVitality. "Essentially, our new larger bottles provide a two-month supply of White Mulberry Extract (http://www.amazon.com/
The immediate popularity of this new herbal supplement is easy to understand. The White Mulberry leaf has been praised on television shows like Dr. Oz for its ability to stabilize blood sugar, lower cholesterol, boost the immune system and protect the heart. Now with its new enhanced formula, NuVitality's White Mulberry Extract Complex is changing how people are approaching blood sugar control and overall health.
The active ingredient in White Mulberry Leaf Extract inhibits the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which is responsible for digesting carbohydrates. The extract slows or stops production of this enzyme, which inhibits the digestion of starch and oligosaccharides so that blood sugar levels do not spike after eating a meal or snack. According to Dr. Oz, the sugar intake is not absorbed but instead is eliminated from the system as feces. Additionally, the undigested oligosaccharides passing through the digestive track become prebiotics, supporting the growth of good bacteria in the colon. "A healthy balance of good bacteria in the colon supports a person's overall immune system," said a spokesperson for NuVitality.
NuVitality's White Mulberry Supplement combines not only the power of White Mulberry leaf to block sugar-digesting enzymes, but also four other health-promoting herbs: Garcinia Cambogia extract, African mango, green coffee beans, and Cinnamon. These ingredients work together with White Mulberry leaf extract to enhance cardiovascular health, stabilize blood sugar levels and help kick-start healthy weight loss and appetite suppression. This enhanced herbal blend gives dieters and diabetics a convenient tool to help stabilize blood sugar taken 30 minutes before a meal.
Products made by NuVitality are 100% natural and contain no GMO ingredients. Customer satisfaction is guaranteed with a money-back offer.

Done my EVOTING for YES BANK AGM. I request all the boarders (who have shares ;-) ..and got invite for evoting from Karvy to Vote in Favor of Mr. Rana Kapoor. He has done tremendous job. I can see Yes Bank Beating Kotak Mahindra in next 2 years. Shares must HIT 1800 in 18 months time.

. But for the case by Madhu Kapur it would have crossed Rs 650 at least. Having managed this and continuance as chairman Rana Kapoor is going to lead this bank to higher heights. Those holding should accumulate more

It may come down as one of the reason for its going up was stake sale to L&T which has been denied by Rana Kapoor today. I agre it is a good long term buy but it has moved up faster and is due for a good correction. Sell it and buy it again

Target reached of 500. Now be cautious. As there is a case on rana kapoor. Share might tank 5-7% in coming week after all cloud is cleared then we can buy again with target of 600

I dont think Yes bank is up for sale. Infact rana kapoor intends to increase equity base so that his holding comes down to 10% as required by RBI. He is also not letting his daughter any big post in yes bank and she is just a ordinary employee like any others.May be he is mentoring her for future

Areey Baba...What diff does it make if another director is appointed. Rana holds 13 % and Madhu 12 %. The remaining 75 % is public, banks, fiis , diis etc etc etc. So why worry. They will all back rana kapoor.
