Congratulations, Holly!
Congratulations to Autism Speaks' Board Member Holly Robinson Peete, who was the runner-up in this season's "Celebrity Apprentice" and Bret Michaels, who took home the top prize. We are so proud of Holly, who did so much this season to raise awareness about autism and Autism Speaks.
Bret Michaels, who has diabetes and also has a daughter with diabetes, won an additional $250,000 for his charity, the American Diabetes Association. Snapple, the company featured as part of the final task, also donated $250,000 to Holly Robinson Peete's charity, HollyRod, which helps raise funds for families dealing with autism.
Please join us in congratulating Holly on her success and thanking her for her efforts!

Congratulations Holly on a job well done! My 6 year old son, Nathan is on the spectrum. We've been fortunate enough to get him lots of early intervention and therapies to make big gains but I have friends with children who are severely affected that lack access to care …… I understand why you fight for others and I applaud you!
Big hugs,

I loved this season of Apprentice. Everyone was so aggressive, well almost everyone. I have a grandson who has Autism and is non-verbal. He is six and struggles each day. He wants to be a happy child and is for the most part. I sure hope in time he will develop some speech or be able to through some device. Otherwise he is doomed to a lonely life. Breaks my heart to know he is in there, but can't get out. I love what your foundation is doing for families with that are living with Autism. Great job Holly. I am glad for Bret as well, he is a wonderful spokesperson for Diabetes.
May 24, 2010 at 9:17 pm
Holly is awesome and has such an amazing huge heart! It has been so exciting watching her each week on the show. I am going to miss that very much.
Holly, keep fighting for this great cause. We need people with your influence to bring awareness of Autism to everyone. You have a great story to tell and you do such a great job of explaining how it effects everyone in the family. Everytime I hear you speak, I feel like someone finally understands how I feel. Thank you for all that you are doing!
May 24, 2010 at 10:08 pm
Holly, A BIG BIG thank you for bringing Autism Awareness to Nighttime TV.
I appreciate your openness and honesty about Autism and your family. Thanks for helping Autism Speaks. Congrats! I have 2 sons on the spectrum as well. Enjoy your time with your family. I will be buying your snapple tomorrow. :)
May 24, 2010 at 11:34 pm
Thank You. I have a 7 yr old boy on the spectrum and I have been trying to raise awareness in my state, Idaho for quite awhile. there is not much around me and nobody ever does anything in this area. I have been trying to become an advocate or start a walk here. must people if they do not have a child on the sceptrum r no somebody that does will not even talk to me. so THANK YOU again
May 25, 2010 at 12:27 am
Holly, both you and Bret were inspirations to watch each week. My heartfelt applause go to each of you for your tenacity and commitment to your charities.
I am the director for special programs in a rural Idaho school district. We are progressive in our efforts to afford students with special needs, including students with autism, the educational benefit they deserve from the public school system.
Parents often struggle through the process of eligibility determination and individual educational program development. Your efforts to help these parents is valiant in the attempt to lessen their burdens. Thank you! We have different roles, you and I, but I sense our vision and mission are virtually identical. Best to you, Holly.
May 25, 2010 at 11:31 am
We love you Holly!
May 29, 2010 at 6:46 am

Randy Moss resurrected his career to reach the Super Bowl, but that hasn't assured his return to the 49ers' roster.
Meanwhile, A.J. Jenkins failed to produce a single reception in his first season, but the 49ers are standing behind last year's first-round draft pick.
Out with the old, in with the new? That could be the 49ers' plan, although general manager Trent Baalke praised both wide receivers while speaking with the media at the NFL's scouting combine in Indianapolis.
Moss' work ethic, leadership and football intelligence were highlighted by Baalke, who added: "We're certainly happy that he was there. Is he going to return? I don't know that yet."
Moss also expressed uncertainty about his future prior to the 49ers' Super Bowl loss to the Baltimore Ravens. While proclaiming himself as the greatest receiver ever during Media Day, Moss indicated he wants to play a 15th season in the NFL. Asked whether that would be with the 49ers, he replied: "I don't know about that. Next question."
Moss then admitted he disliked his role as a supporting player, totaling just 28 receptions — the same amount as running back Frank Gore. But Moss' unhappiness wasn't visibly expressed during the season, and Baalke praised his presence.
"Randy's a pro. I can't say enough good things about Randy, and if you ask anybody within our organization, they'd say the same thing," Baalke said. "One of the first guys to work every day, one of the last to leave. A guy that takes great care of his body, that is one of the smartest football players, if not the smartest football player, I've been around. He grasped the offense very quickly. He was a real leader in that group, in that room."
Also in that receivers' room was Jenkins, who dropped the only pass thrown his way while suiting up for just six games, including the playoff opener.
"A.J.'s a young man that's worked awfully hard. He's going to continue to work hard," Baalke said.
Jenkins, according to Baalke, is expected to start training soon in Atlanta with quarterback Colin Kaepernick and fellow receivers Ricardo Lockette and Chad Hall.
"They're going to go at it this offseason," Baalke added. "The biggest growth in players is always between year one and year two, and we expect that's what's going to happen with A.J., just as we do with all of our young players."
The 49ers could be looking to bolster their receiving unit again this offseason, through either the draft, free agency or trades. Moss and Ted Ginn Jr. are ticketed for free agency. Mario Manningham and Kyle Williams are recovering from torn anterior cruciate ligaments.

The 10 Most Requested Hairstyles of All Time
World-renowned stylists share the iconic celebrity hairstyles they've been constantly asked to recreate. Have you had one of these cuts?
The psychology that takes place in and outside the salon chair is profound. Many women believe a quick snip here or highlight there can instantaneously change the way they see themselves -- and the way the outside world perceives them. And it's so darn true. According to a study done by Marianne LaFrance, a professor of psychology at Yale University, "different hairstyles quickly lead others to 'see' different kinds of people." The study, conducted in 2001, found women with short, tousled hair were seen by respondents as confident and outgoing, while long-haired women were perceived to be more affluent. This means that while you stare longingly at Gwyneth Paltrow's sleek bob, you're deriving meaning from the style -- it's informing you of what kind of person it represents. And it's when the vast majority of women see something in a singular hairstyle that they identify with or want to identify with, that hairstyle becomes iconic and consequently, a guiding light, leading women across the nation into the chairs of their stylists -- photo in hand.
To find out which hairstyles women request most or which hairstyles are "speaking" to their psyches, we went to veterans of the hairstyling industry. Sally Hershberger, of the Sally Hershberger salons and product line, and Edward Tricomi of the Warren-Tricomi salons and product line. Both are world-renowned stylists that have been asked time and time again to recreate celebrity hairstyles. Here they share with us the ten most requested styles they have encountered in their successful tenures.

My fav part, "Implied Acceptance of Risk
In a majority of cases, the consent to assume the risk is implied from the conduct of the plaintiff under the circumstances. The basis of the defense is not contract, but consent, and it is available in many cases in which no express agreement exists.
By entering voluntarily into any relationship or transaction in which the negligence of the defendant is evident, the plaintiff is deemed to accept and consent to it, to assume responsibility for personal safety, and to unburden the defendant of the obligation. Spectators at certain sports events assume all the known risks of injury from flying objects. Plaintiffs who enter business premises as invitees and detect dangerous conditions can be deemed to assume the risks when they continue voluntarily to encounter them."
In other words, a waiver seals the deal if it weren't already done so by paying the event fees.
If your still trying to sue your TD or league, try the Chewbacca defense.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1995 Summer Tour."
The opening is pretty standard, maybe a little extra funk than most 95 Tweezers. Trey starts the jam off weirdly with some wah'd out chording giving the jam a funky sound that seems two years early. But it gets weird fast, a lot of listening between everyone here, especially Trey and Mike and a lot of interjecting of weird chords. Still weirdly funky. Very off-kilter. Around 6:50 it breaks into almost double time but softly with strange chording from trey and page. This soon disintegrates into strange dissonant hits from everyone and now its almost half time. back into Tweezer sounding jam at 8:10. fantastic rhythmic playing from everyone. Super funky jam here in the 8th minute. Soon weirdness returns as the jam quiets at around 9:10. Sounds like the ending of AC/DC bag but drawn out. This turns into a scary bluegrassy jam with little fast plucking from everyone accentuated by Fishman's hi hat. Super weird at 10:30. Strange sounds from trey. Unexplainably weird jam around 11:20. Won't even try to describe it. Disintegrates at 11:40. Spacey weird shit now, still active though like the spacey parts of the Mesa (12/9/94) Tweezer. Not very pleasant. Weird interplay between Mike and Trey at 12:40 that sounds cool but very erie. Page joins this with piano fills. Fish is very light on the cymbals. Trey develops a cool theme at 13:30. Every one plays off this cool jam starts to develop at 14:00. Very cool jam here. Starts picking up. I really like this part a lot, its a rocking continuation of the weird bluegrassy stuff. Trey starts soloing in a strange manner at 15:10. Jam breaks down in to a weird double time thing. Little tinklings from everyone around 16 minutes and it starts picking up. Scary build up. Trey soloing happily but no one else's instruments are making happy noises. At 17 minutes this weirdness is sustained for a long time. Until, it breaks down at 17:30. Spaceyness here. Very weird. At 18:13, yes that exact time, out of nowhere Fishman blows out of the gates with a double time beat that everyone instantly adheres to. Sweetness. I feel a hose jam coming. Here we go. YUP. Trey starts chording like crazy but its over to soon. Oh no. Back to weird rhythmic stuff. sounds almost reggae-like at 19:30. Full blown reggae jam around 20 minutes. Trey slipping in the Tweezer theme here. Slowly picking up into a reggae Tweezer jam. Weird, but so cool, this is like Makisupa mixed with Tweezer! Back into the full blown Tweezer theme. Great transition. Sweet little jam at 22:00. Very funky, no big solo form Trey. Just starts coming down into Lifeboy.
All in all, not my favorite tweezer. It reminds me of the Bangor tweezer in that its a lot of short unrelated jams all strung together that all sound more-or-less strange. Much more active than Bangor though. So this tweezer is perfect if you're in the mood for a super weird Phish jam that is not that spacey. And to conclude my review of this Tweezer I will reiterate: WEIRD!
Down in SLC, the parking situation is odd, we end up parking in a lot that seems to be filled with commuters who work downtown. In fact as 5:00 rolls around, many people in suits stream into the lot. I remember thinking it was an odd intersection of cultures.
We meet a guy in a conversion van who came from the boise show using a brick on the accelerator as his cruise control. He tells us about the new songs and hooks us up with some brain expanders.
Inside, the coliseum was half full, but for some reason our seats were still nosebleed. I had a hard time hearing the music, and this took away from my immersion in the scene. This was when phish was heavy into the tension and release, and I remember thinking that this would get old if the whole tour followed the exact same pattern. Red Rocks, night two, set one YEM really proved me wrong on that thought. They really broke through a wall on that song, check it out.
Well, sorry this review is kinda lame....

Honda, Suzuki Cars Perform Best, Toyota Falters in IIHS Crash-Testing
A new crash test from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is turning out to be a difficult hurdle for some car makers whose models had previously won top honors in the safety group's evaluations with apparent ease.
In a recent test session models from Toyota failed to make the list of cars winning the Top Safety Pick + award from the IIHS, a safety-testing organization funded by the insurance industry. In the past the brand had been a regular winner but this time its Camry and Prius v models received "poor" ratings in the small-overlap frontal crash test, which focuses the power of a collision on parts of a vehicle that tend to be relatively weak.
In the group of 18 midsize family cars tested, 13 made the top-rated list. The "plus" sign in the Top Safety Pick + designation means the vehicle gets a good or acceptable rating in the small-overlap test while receiving the top "good" rating in the milder IIHS offset frontal-, side-, and rear-impact, and roof-strength tests.
Of the cars tested in the latest round, only the Honda Accord and Suzuki Kizashi received good ratings in the new test.
The latest testing so far indicates that modestly priced family cars perform better in the demanding small-overlap test than costlier, more luxurious models. Just three of 11 midsize luxury and near-luxury cars recently tested received good or acceptable ratings.
"It's remarkable that this group of midsize family cars did so much better than the midsize luxury car group," says Adrian Lund, IIHS president. "The difference is stunning," he said.
IIHS rolled out the small-overlap test in 2012 further challenge car companies whose latest vehicles were nearly always receiving top marks. Most auto makers for years have designed and engineered their vehicles specifically to perform well in the IIHS tests, but many have not focused on the small overlap test, which replicates the effects of a collision between the front corner of a car and another vehicle or narrow obstacles like trees and utility poles. In the test, 25% of a car's front end on the driver side strikes a 5-foot-tall rigid barrier at 40 mph.
In a 2009 study the IIHS found that among vehicles with good ratings for frontal crash protection, small overlap crashes accounted for almost 25% of the frontal crashes with serious or fatal injuries to front- seat occupants.
Most modern cars are designed around safety cages that protect occupants and crush zones that absorb or otherwise direct crash energy away from passengers. But the main impact-absorbing structures are in the middle 50% of the vehicle's front end, IIHS said.
In many vehicles a 25% overlap frontal crash misses the primary structures designed to manage the forces of impact. As a result the force is directed toward the wheel, suspension system and other parts that can be forced into the passenger compartment. This type of crash is also especially dangerous because of the car's tendency to rotate on impact, forcing the driver's head outward, away from the front airbag.
Here are the cars that have received the top IIHS rating so far:
Midsize moderately priced cars
Chrysler 200 4-door
Dodge Avenger
Ford Fusion
Honda Accord 2-door
Honda Accord 4-door
Kia Optima
Nissan Altima 4-door
Subaru Legacy
Subaru Outback
Suzuki Kizashi
Volkswagen Passat
Midsize luxury/near-luxury cars
Acura TL
Volvo S60

Entombed in snow for more than three hours, unable to wiggle even a finger, Alex White felt his life slipping away. He thought of his family. His friend somewhere nearby and likely in the same trouble. His girlfriend. His studies.
"The last thing I remember thinking was that I was going to die there, honestly," he said. "And aside from a few bursts of panic, it was really kind of peaceful."
March 2 was a cloudless Saturday, as pals White, Joe Philpott, Kylie Nulty and Toby Kraft geared up for backcountry turns on Cameron Pass in northern Colorado.
White, a 24-year-old first-year University of Colorado law student, was riding a new pair of Line Motherships, a wide ski built for powder. Philpott, a 27-year-old banjo-plucking poet, artist and smokejumper, had a new pair of Anvil skis. He designed the graphics on the skis that were forged by his big brother Jim, who founded Anvil in Durango, their hometown.a

Simon Cowell is considering hiring Jennifer Love Hewitt to be an 'X Factor' judge, according to Us Weekly.
Yes, he is running out of ideas.
Following the departures of Britney Spears and L.A. Reid after last season, Cowell has two judges spots to fill.
"Simon is very interested," a source told the magazine.
"This is all just speculation," a representative for the show told the Huffington Post. "No decisions have been made about the panel. Simon and Demi are the only judges confirmed on the panel so far."
Hewitt, 34, known for her TV roles in "Party of Five," "The Ghost Whisperer " and The Client List," actually sort of once had a singing career.
Hewitt was a teen star in Japan when she released her first album in 1992. Seven years later, she had her first charting single, "How Do I Deal," for the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" soundtrack. Her fourth album "BareNaked" made the Billboard Top 200 chart in 2002.
The Huffington Post says Hewitt might be a better fit replacing Khloe Kardashian as Mario Lopez's co-host, after it was announced this week Kardashian won't return.
Kelly Rowland's name has also popped up as a potential judge. The former Destiny's Child singer did some judging on the U.K. version of "X Factor."
"Kelly knows 'The X Factor,' she's aware of what it takes to be a judge and she's also outspoken," a source told the Daily Mail. "Simon has always remained a fan of Kelly's and she's most definitely in the mix to join the judging panel on 'X Factor."

—Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author
#1 New York Times bestseller Debbie Macomber invites readers to an unforgettable Family Affair—a glorious celebration of heart, love, and laughter, and a delightful flourish of the Macomber magic that has made her one of the most popular authors in contemporary romance fiction.

Lacey Lancaster always longed to be a wife and mother. However, after a painful divorce, she just wants to lay low in her charming San Francisco apartment with her beautiful Abyssinian cat, Cleo.
Everything would be wonderful if it wasn't for her impossible neighbor, Jack Walker, who argues day and night with his girlfriend . . . and whose cat, Dog, is determined to get Cleo to succumb to his feline advances. And when Lacey discovers that Cleo's in the family way, she's furious that neither Jack nor his amorous animal seems terribly upset about it.
But things aren't always what they appear. Jack's "girlfriend" isreally his sister—and his intentions toward Lacey are quite honorable (though she's not sure about Dog). And out of the blue, Lacey is discovering the tender joy of falling in love all over again.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "2004 Early Summer Tour."
loving cup: i've grown very weary of this song in the encore slot, but i really liked it here. especially since i was still in the parking lot polishing off a rogue 22. this got me hustling through the gates.
cities: aw... safely in my pavillion seat for this talking heads classic. quick but nifty little funk jam that works smoothly into
gbott: pretty standard version but it worked well coming out of cities
vultures: i love this tune, and it was played oh so well.
mmgamoio: great phish bluegrass cover. gordon sounded good on this one.
dwd: here we go... i was certain this was going to pop up as a 2nd set opener over the next 4 nights. like loving cup, i was not surprised they played, just when they played it. as for this take on dwd, it was very strong, especially for a first setter. trey really knocked this one out of the park before landing in...
rock and roll: very nice pairing. they didn't do anything too crazy with rock and roll here, but it worked as a great set closer. page hit his high note.
set 2:
tube: this is the best tube i have ever seen. gordon and fishman were on fire in the middle section. trey also lit it up. i had not seen tube since deer creek 2000. this song is so much better when trey stays on the guitar and off that mini keyboard. he had some really hot licks too. did mention gordon and fishman really drove this one. oh yeah, trey seemed to really hammer home the bluesy bring it back into tube guitar lick after the jam. very good and it dropped into...
run like an antelope: this was a pretty sharp high energy antelope. they danced through the intro part and when this one broke they really cut loose. the crowd needed a breather after this one.
wedge: score! good second set "breather" tune. well executed
timber ho!: getty up! excellent timber ho!. i was actually with a bunch of people that had never caught this song, and they longed for it. it made it a little extra spiffy, as if timber ho! is not spiffy enough. fishman and trey really hammered this one down.
prince caspian: i hate this song, but after such a hot start, i took this opportunity to burn a quick one, right in time to hear them move into...
simple: fishman, again, was a monster on this one. i really liked the "peter out" jam on this version. the moved the tempo around with ease, and they sounded really nice and tight, similar to the bt gin the night before. it finally worked its way into...
wotc: i was not a huge fan of this song until i heard this version. as they moved into the jam portion, they explored the wotc theme for a couple of minutes before they shifted into familiar territory. while staying in the key of wotc they were playing the ending to dwd. it was a very cool way to end the deer creek run.
coil: cant boo coil. it may not be a super unique selection, but i love ending a run with page alone on the stage. ALL HAIL PAGE!
I thought this two night run was very similar to the 98 deer creek. both nights were really strong on all fronts, and it is tough say which one is best. also, they did without playing the typical big guns, ghost, tweezer, yem, and mike's song. very fun time. while i thought the 2nd night of alpine was the best show of the midwest run, i think, all in all, i like the deer creek run, as a whole a touch more.

Also disregard my review of 6/23/2004 because although i though for a time that was my first show i was wrong and any memory of that show was garnered from listening to recordings

Category:Command-line arguments
From ArachneWiki
Arachne's executable modules accept command-line arguments, in much the same style as Unix shell commands. Command-line arguments specify important details about a module's execution, such as the directories in which it finds input and output files, flags for what algorithms to run, and numeric parameters for its algorithms.
The general syntax for any executable module is
<module location and name> ARG1=val1 ARG2=val2 ...
where the ARGs and vals are command-line arguments and their values. Note that there can be no spaces before or after the equals signs, unless you are specifying a null value (which is legitimate.)
Command-line arguments may be any of the following types:
- Integer
- Floating-point number (float or double)
- Index list
- Boolean (flag)
- Filename
- Directory name
By convention, directory names and other module-invariant argument names are in ALL CAPS. Other arguments may be in ALL CAPS or lowercase; there is little consistency.
Specifying command-line arguments
Each module has a set of command-line arguments that it handles. Some arguments must be specified; other arguments are optional, and if you do not specify them, they will take on default values. The default values are usually perfectly acceptable to use, and thus you do not need to go to the trouble of learning the meaning of every single command-line argument, unless you want to run a module exactly to your liking. To get a complete list of a module's arguments and their default values, run the module with no arguments.
Some command line arguments (e.g., PRE) can be specified implicitly by means of an environment variable.

Anyway the ffmpeg command line to do the conversion is this:
- Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files (x86)\PS3 Media Server\win32\ffmpeg.exe" -copyts -i "video.wtv" -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f vob - > d:\temp\test.mpg 2> err.txt
For DVRMS, you guys are doing this.
- Code: Select all
C:\Program Files (x86)\PS3 Media Server\win32\dvrms\ffmpeg_MPGMUX.exe -i video -title dummy -f vob -copyts -vcodec copy -acodec copy -threads 2 -g 1 -qscale 1 -qmin 2 pipe:
- Why are you using a special version of ffmpeg for this? I think the normal version of ffmpeg supports dvrms.
- Does "pipe:" do the same thing as "-" or is there a difference?
So, a couple of things that seem odd to me:
- I'm not sure "title" does anything for vob because PES doesn't support metadata.
- qscale, qmin don't make sense on a passthrough, or do they?
- I'm not sure threads make sense on a passthrough.
Anyway, I'll play with converting it over to use the standard version of ffmpeg. Just want to know if there are any gotchas. Thanks!

August 22, 2006
Dr. Mohammad Ali Behzadian says health problems, not drugs and alcohol, are to blame for the accident that killed a high school senior.
"I got scared something was going bad," he testified today. "I tried to pull over, not knowing I was on the left side of the road--the wrong side of the road."
A jury has convicted Dr. Behzadian...but the biggest charges got a not guilty verdict.
Jurors decided the MCG researcher and professor is guilty of two misdemeanors in the death of 18-year-old Brandon Layton three years ago: second-degree vehicular homicide and driving on the wrong side of the road.
Dr. Behzadian took the stand in his own defense. He says a heart condition caused him drive down the wrong side of the road down River Watch Parkway.
"I started feeling my heart rate and after that I tried to turn."
18-year-old Brandon Layton was killed instantly when Dr. Behzadian's car hit Brandon's head on.
Behzadian says it was a mistake only made worse by the dark area.
Prosecutors say it was a combination of alcohol and prescription drugs.
The doctor admits to taking medication and aspirin the morning of the accident, and later having a glass of wine at a dinner party, but blood tests were negative for any types of drugs or alcohol.
"I was taking cholesterol medicine and vitamins," Dr. Behzadian testified.
Dr. Behzadian's fiancée Melanie Pitts remembers questioning the doctor about the accident at the hospital the next day.
"He told me what happened, and he's always been consistent with his answer: half of a very small glass of wine," she testified.
Another witness said the intersection at River Watch and Stevens Creek is dangerous. She testified it was an accident that anyone could have made.
"Somebody needs to make people aware of how that intersection can be," she said.
Dr. Behzadian is still employed by the Medical College of Georgia.
Sentencing could take up a couple of weeks. A person found guilty of second-degree vehicular homicide could be sentenced to up to 12 months in prison.

The Vail Valley Foundation's Conway Cup Community Team Race was held Wednesday at Golden Peak in Vail as a memorial ski race in honor of Dan Conway, who passed away in 2009. As director of racing for Vail and Vail Resorts, he played a key role in all competitions held on Vail and Beaver Creek mountains, from World Championships and World Cup's to NASTAR, including the annual Korbel American Ski Classic. The group of racers that took to the course on Golden Peak on Wednesday to brave challenging conditions would have made Conway proud.
When asked about her experience, Holly Nielsen said, "I am happy that I did not fall. That was my goal. I saw three people fall and I was not one of them."
The race was truly a community event; Nielsen raced with her East West Resorts team and fellow longtime local resident DJ Vaughan.
"I moved here in 1996 and started working for East West Resorts and have been for 17 years," Vaughan said. "My last day is Friday. I have an opportunity in St. Louis by family, so this is my last hurrah. I have known most of these people for most of my life."
Vail Valley Foundation's Rick Bald is fairly new to town as he just started with the foundation three weeks ago. Bald had worked with Vail Resorts in the past and lived in Colorado for three years after college. "I can work from a home office on sponsorships and, obviously, I will be spending a lot of time here," Bald said.
Spectators mingled as the serious racers took to the course on four-person teams in a dual-format race.
The American Ski Classic brings skiing legends, sports and entertainment celebrities and corporate America together on the slopes of Vail Mountain, bringing the thrill of both professional and amateur ski racing to the community. If you go, look for live entertainment and festivities on and off the slopes.

Because of the complexity of the manufacturing processes for biologics, transfer of these processes to a contract manufacturer presents challenges. BioPharm International asked representatives of leading CMOs about these challenges, and about how the relationship between CMO and sponsor is evolving. Participating in the roundtable are: Kristie Zinselmeier, senior director of marketing, BioPharma Solutions, Baxter Healthcare Corporation; Vicki Wolff-Long, general manager at Cangene BioPharma; Kent Payne, PhD, vice-president and general manager of the biologics business of Catalent Pharma Solutions; and Krishnan Sampathkumar, PhD, associate director of drug product formulation and process development, Global Biologics R&D, at Hospira.
BioPharm: Biologics are clearly more complex to manufacture than small-molecule drug products. What would you say are the key unique challenges associated with biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing? In your company's experience, how can a CMO best deal with unique regulatory expectations in this regard?
We believe that planning during the development phases helps support the unique regulatory requirements for biologics. By understanding the needs of the molecule and having the proper infrastructure, experience, and support, we strive to successfully comply with the regulatory expectations of our clients.
With regard to regulatory expectations, studies are required—even if the data is obtained through engineering runs. A rationale must be in place to pass the inspection—and the regulatory agencies hold both the customer and the CMO equally accountable for a well-characterized process.
Sampathkumar (Hospira): Key challenges in biologics manufacturing include:

STOCKTON - The city announced Tuesday reaching its first agreement in bankruptcy with a bond insurer, Ambac Assurance Corp., renegotiating a deal that caps payments and possibly stretches the terms of repayment over a longer time.
The New York City-based firm insures $21.6 million worth of bonds issued by Stockton's former Redevelopment Agency in 2003 to finance affordable housing projects such as the Hotel Stockton and to restore Fremont and Gleason parks.
The new agreement with Ambac, which came out of confidential mediation, limits the amount that Stockton can tap from its general fund to repay the firm and provides a reserve fund to pay some debt in addition to possibly extending the term of repayment, the city said.
Ambac will not take a loss. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Klein on April 2 will be presented with the resolution.
"Without the agreement, the city's general fund could be responsible for almost $1 million each year," City Manager Bob Deis said in a statement. "Rather than responding with an unreasonable and expensive, litigation-intense strategy, as some creditors have done, Ambac diligently worked with the city to achieve a consensual resolution."

OAKLAND -- To put himself in a properly nostalgic mood Saturday, Reggie Jackson listened to Marvin Gaye on his way to the Oakland Coliseum. He played The Four Tops, too, as well as a little Barry White.
"I listened to that music and I sung along," Jackson said. "Those are good memories. It gives you some good thoughts."
Once at the ballpark, Jackson cued up a few of the A's greatest hits. The MVP of the 1973 World Series joined Sal Bando, Joe Rudi, Vida Blue, Bert "Campy" Campaneris and other players for a 40-year reunion of the team that won the second of three consecutive titles.
Jackson, also the MVP during the regular season, threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the A's lost 7-3 to the Baltimore Orioles, and drew a hearty round of applause. He even got a warm welcome from Billy North, the former outfielder who once brawled with Jackson in the clubhouse -- part of a Swingin' A's culture as colorful as their Day-Glo uniforms.
"All the bad things are gone," North said with a laugh, "and you remember the joy and the intensity and the efficiency that these guys played with."
The '73 A's defeated the New York Mets in a seven-game series that marked the last-ever games for Willie Mays and the first World Series for the man who would become known as Mr. October.
Jackson, though better known as a New York Yankee, said he thinks of those rollicking Oakland days often. He's even purchased jerseys over the years bearing names like "Blue" and "Campaneris" and "Rudi" to hang in his office.
He bought a Catfish Hunter jersey, too, and brought that one with him to Saturday's reunion. Hunter, the Hall of Fame pitcher, died of ALS in 1999 at age 53.
"Catfish, man, he was in that class with Tom Seaver and (Steve) Carlton and the greats of his day. He was our guy," Jackson, 66, said. "When Catfish pitched, we were going to win the ballgame. ... He was a special guy for us."
His affection for Hunter, who was also his Yankees teammate from 1977-79, went beyond the ballpark. Jackson talked expansively Saturday about the racial climate of the late 1960s and credited Hunter -- "a good homespun guy from North Carolina" -- for helping the A's rise above the fray.
John "Blue Moon" Odom, echoing the love for Hunter said, said: "I always said, if you didn't like Catfish, you didn't like yourself. That's the type of person Catfish was. We need a lot more guys like Catfish in baseball today."
Jackson's reflections on race relations prompted a reporter to ask about the dwindling number of African-American players in the majors. The percentage was 8.5 on this season's opening-day rosters.
"It's not good and I don't know why," Jackson said. But he suspects that the rising costs for youth leagues -- especially for traveling club teams -- is a significant factor. Jackson is rooting for Commissioner Bud Selig and MLB to reverse declining number of black players in the big leagues.
"I'm still a colored man. I'm still a sensitive black man," he said. "I'm part Puerto Rican -- my middle name is Martinez. I am a minority. I'm proud and I want you to know that."
Jackson had one of his finest seasons in '73, batting .293 and leading the league in home runs (32), RBI (117), slugging percentage (.531) and OPS (.914) to capture his only regular-season MVP award.
Against the Mets in the World Series, he hit .310 with a home run and drove in six. Jackson and the rest of the lineup had help from a deep pitching staff led by three 20-game winners -- Blue, Hunter and Ken Holtzman -- as well as busy relievers Rollie Fingers and Darold Knowles. Knowles remains the only pitcher ever to appear in each game of a seven-game World Series. "My claim to fame," Knowles said.
Knowles played down his iron man feat, saying that pitchers of that era never worried about workload. Holtzman said much the same about his career high of 297.1 innings that '73 season and scoffed at the notion of pitch counts.
"Yeah, right. Pitch counts?" said Holtzman, 67. "You ask Wes Stock, our pitching coach, if he kept track of pitch counts. I'd tell him to stick that counter up his (nose).
"You know what Mr. Finley told me at the start of spring training? He said, 'You're not in there to count pitches. You're not in there to strike 'em out. You're in there to win.' And, in a brutal sense, he was right. I think that's part of the reason we were so good."
Another reason they were so good, players said, is that despite their reputation as a ragtag wild bunch, the A's were among the most fundamentally sound teams of that era. Manager Dick Williams demanded as much.
"That's how I got my job," North said. "Angel Mangual missed a cutoff man in Baltimore. After that game, Dick came in the clubhouse room and said, 'Ain't nobody eating here tonight.' And he flipped over the food table. He called me into his office and said, 'You're the center fielder.'"
Jackson, now a special adviser to the Yankees, was happy to share the memories. Along with a No. 9 jersey provided by the A's for the weekend, he hauled out his old warm-up jacket. He recalled how cool it was to see J-A-C-K-S-O-N on the back of it of the first time.
"I work for the Yankees and love the Yankees," Jackson said. "But the A's are certainly a part of me and it goes forever."

I'm looking forward to the upcoming spring holidays, for some relaxing days off work and for spending time with a group of university friends from Mexico city, who are coming for a visit. When I asked if they had any activities they would love to do while visiting Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, they replied they would love to go surfing! I am not surprised that surfing is on top of their wish list, as Ixtapa Zihuatanejo area has been known for surfing since the 60-ies! And while some of my friends are avid surfers, for the others learning to surf is a long-yearned wish. I rolled up my sleeves, did some exploring, and created a selection of surf spots that I think would be great to visit.
If you are planning your sunny getaway to Ixtapa Zihuatanejo soon, and are looking for some surf spots, perhaps you would find this list useful as well.
Surfing Ixtapa Zihuatanejo:
- Playa Linda is located just North of Ixtapa, at the mouth of Ixtapa River. This beach is more than 1 km (0.65 miles) long and it is the host to Ixtapa Zihuatanejo's annual surfing tournament. This beach is very close to Capella Ixtapa, so my colleagues love heading here for a surf session before or after work. It has a river-mouth, which creates waves that break in both left and right directions with a long, smooth wall and in some parts a bit stronger. It breaks year round.
- Playa Las Escolleras is one of the most popular surfing spots in the area, you can access it at Playa El Palmar, by the rocks dividing the marina from the beach. This beach is particularly popular with locals. It has a strong right beach break at a breakwater of rocks with a sandy bottom. It breaks 3/4 of the year.
- Playa Troncones is located about 15 miles north of Zihuatanejo. It has strong waves with occasional tubes. The north point is a left break on reef, sometimes with tubes followed by a smooth wall. It breaks all year round. In addition to be a great surf spot, I love visiting Troncones village for it's laid back atmosphere and colorful streets, sea caves and waterfall (read more about it here).
- La Barrita, a rocky beach 10 minutes southeast of Barra de Potosí. Not many tourists stop at this village, but this and Loma Bonita beach are some of the best local spots for surfing. It has a strong wave with tube in season. It breaks 3/4 of the year. I suggest making this a day trip and visiting Barra de Potosí and Petatlan town and its gold market as well.
- La Saladita beach has a long and smooth left point-break that breaks all year, albeit very small in the winter but still perfect for a long board. It is located about 20 miles north of Zihuatanejo, entering through a village of Los Llanos. My colleagues have recommended this beach, and I'm looking forward to visiting soon.
- Petatalco surf spot is probably the largest break in the region. It is a very powerful beach break with perfect gigantic tubes. This was one of the most famous waves during the 70's, and it still has many very good days. I am intrigued by the reputation and history of this beach, and can't wait to experience it in person!
These are just some of the surf spots in the Ixtapa Zihuatanejo area. For more recommendations please leave a comment below or send an email to our Personal Assistant, who will be happy to advise you on the surf spot based on your wishes and desires.

Toyota pulled the wraps off of the all-new 2013 Avalon with much fanfare at this year's New York auto show. The sinewy sedan was well-received, but Toyota had yet to announce just what would be under the hood. Now we have a formal answer: the exact same V-6 and hybrid powertrains you'll also find in the 2012 Toyota Camry.
The 2013 Avalon is available with one of two powertrain options – a first for Toyota's large sedan. The first option, which pairs a 268-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 with a six-speed automatic transmission, is essentially carried over from the previous-generation Avalon. Toyota claims that the 2013 V-6 Avalon can now hit 60 mph in under seven seconds (the old one hit it in 6.2 seconds) and will achieve an EPA-rated 21/31 mpg city/highway — an increase of two and three mpg, respectively. New powertrain programming allows drivers to either increase (Sport mode) or retard (ECO mode) throttle response. Sport mode also alters the electric power steering to provide more feedback and weight, while ECO mode also reduces the amount of energy used by the climate control system.
The all-new powertrain for the 2013 Avalon is shared with the 2012 Camry and 2013 Lexus ES 300h, — fitting, since the Avalon shares its underpinnings with both cars. The Avalon uses the same 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle I-4, electric motor (powered by a liquid-cooled nickel-metal hydride battery pack), and continuously variable transmission as both cars, but the Avalon's net output is rated at 200 hp like the ES. Hybrid Avalons have the same ECO, normal, and Sport modes as the V-6 cars, but also add an EV mode that allows the car to travel roughly one mile on electricity alone, assuming speeds are kept below 25 mph. Unsurprisingly, the 2013 Avalon Hybrid achieves the same 40/39 mpg city/highway as the ES 300h.
The 2013 Toyota Avalon is one of the first all-new vehicles to come out of the Japanese juggernaut since CEO Akio Toyoda promised Toyota's cars to be "more emotional." Designed in California, engineered in Michigan, and built in Kentucky, the new Avalon is the first Toyota that has been completely conceived end-to-end in the U.S. for the U.S. market. It shows – the design is evocative, drawing on the four-door coupe trend characterized by the Mercedes-Benz CLS without feeling "me too." Inside, the Avalon may be stepping on Lexus' toes with a leather-and-wood-swathed interior and advanced technology like Toyota's Entune infotainment system and a capacitive-touch center stack.
Expect pricing to be announced closer to the 2013 Avalon's on-sale date this winter, but the 2012 model starts at $33,955 (including $760 destination)

Well its august and the summer heat has seemed to have broken a bit, so its time again to start running. I have done c25k twice, have completed the program both times but have not actually entered an official 5k. I stop running in the summer months because its just too hot and hope to finish the program and enter one in Oct. Good luck to all!!! Lisa
I started this program the 1st of August, I am 50 and am doing it with my 22 year old daughter and 25 year old niece. W1D1 was tough, I had to walk the last part of my last jog, I have completed all other workouts although I am slower than the girls. W4D1 was last night; I just couldn't run the last 1/4 mile of the last jog. I was so upset with myself. Hope to do better tomorrow night and we will be going when the sun is not beating down on us. I thought I was crazy for starting this in the hottest part of the summer but hopefully it will start cooling down for these next few hard weeks.
Started 1st August, just did Week 5 Day 1. Feel great. Great, and surprised. Surprised, and shocked.
Really? Is this even possible? Me running?!
I too started back on the programme at week 1. I know it works and I am looking forward to getting back up to full fitness again. I'm quite happy just out running, or should I say jogging, for 30/45 mins at a time. I'm not fast on purpose. I did the programme before and went as fast as I could even doing speed intervals to help with my training and all I got was fat legs.
This time I am taking it slower and building on distance rather than speed. I want slim runners legs not fat footballer legs. Well that's the dream.
Happy running everyone.
Hi I am on Week 2 Day 2. I am sore, I am tired but I am doing it
congrats to you!!!!!
august came and went i had good intentions but work and school got in the way BUT i am presently on week two and have vowed to keep it going!
Happy running to you!!
Hi all, my first post here!
I started in mid-late August but didn't realise there was a forum!
I've just done W5 D2, planning to run D3 the day after tomorrow. I run alternate days. Have to say I'm surprised at my progress, although I seem to be younger than many on here at 24.
I'm 6' tall, but after my third year of university I weighed over 15 stone from the constant drinking, lazing about and junk food eating, followed by office work. I never looked huge or anything as I'm quite a heavy set person - I used to play rugby and that, big thighs, big bum lol - but I was just kind of flabby and aerobically I was ridiculously bad for my age. I played 5 a side one week and had to come off after less than 5 minutes and I had barely moved anywhere, it was embarrassing! I broke up with my girlfriend about 6 weeks ago and realised how comfortable I had become! Time to get into shape I thought!
Its amazing to see how many other people are on here trying to improve their fitness, it raises my spirit just knowing there are other people puffing away through the pain barrier too!
W5 D3 looks mad! Going from 8 mins jogging, 5 mins walking and 8 minutes jogging to 20 mins jogging with no break?! Huge, huge jump. I shall put my trust in the system though, I have managed every other week despite doubting it so fingers crossed this one is the same!
I can really feel the difference now though, I can't believe its only been four weeks since I started. I struggled hugely with W1D1, just four weeks later I pretty much breezed through the first 8 mins jogging today, and the second 8 wasn't THAT hard - even though it was exhausting I could feel I had some more in me so I ran an extra two minutes on the end. If any of you are sitting in week 2 like I was and thinking "cor, I'll never be able to run 5 solid minutes" stick with it rain or shine because you will suddenly find yourself able to jog distances you thought impossible just two weeks before! I'm excited thinking about the next two weeks if all goes to plan!
Good luck all! Hope you all achieve your goals!
Hello. I started September 18. I've finished the couch to 5k once before, after a few false starts, and was doing three or four miles regularly until the winter. I had just started again when I broke my leg at the end of April. Not running, I was walking in the woods and slipped. No surgery or cast; just crutches and a walking boot. Now after a down summer I am trying again.
I just did the first day of week four. It is tiring but I know I can do it. Might sign up for a 5k turkey trot since that would be after week nine but will wait until later to see how I feel.
