FT. WORTH – The No. 68 Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's tennis team lost a hard-fought 4-2 match against No. 51 TCU in hostile territory on Wednesday night, playing in front of nearly 400 fans at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center for the Horned Frogs home opener. The Islanders were down 4-2 when the match was stopped due to time constraints, with the two coaches agreeing before the match to stop after the first team reached four points and to finish any matches that were close to completion.
"We competed our tails off tonight, we didn't give them anything," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "I was proud of our guys. We lost to a very good team tonight at home. TCU did an incredible job tonight in their opening match, bringing out over 400 people and competing with a lot of spirit at home.
"Give them a lot of credit, they were tough as nails tonight and provide a great college atmosphere."
The Islanders, who played two freshmen and a sophomore in their top six, are now 2-3 on the season after falling to their second nationally-ranked opponent in as many matches. The No. 51 Horned Frogs began the year 1-0 with the win on Wednesday evening. The match was the final of the five-match road match to open the season for the Islanders, with their next opponent being No. 19 Texas at home to open the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.
"This group is really young and I getting excited about their ability," said Moore. "Playing five teams that were ranked last year to start the season is no picnic, but this is how you get good. This is how you learn that you have to max out every point and you can't give anything away."
In doubles action, Alex Pavlov and Nathan Robinson lost an 8-4 match at the No. 3 position to start the action. TCU then clinched the point with an 8-3 victory at No. 1 over Peter Nagy and Gergo Weidinger to make it a 1-0 score. Aurelien Tave and Matt Westmoreland competed until the end before falling 7-6 (7-4) at the No. 2 position.
In singles, the Islanders knotted the score at 1-1 when Weidinger won at the No. 3 position after his opponent retired from the match. Fernando Llorens also came out on top at No. 5 singles, winning his fourth match in five tries with a 7-5, 7-6 (7-4) final.
It was not enough however, as Aurelien Tave lost 6-3, 6-1 at No. 2, Westmoreland fell 6-4, 6-3 at No. 4 and Nagy lost 6-2, 7-5 in a tough No. 1 singles match.
"The thing I like about this group, whether we're winning or losing, we're competing unbelievably hard from start to finish," said Moore. "We're sticking together and there is a ton of character and encouragement with this group.
"Those are the keys to long-term success, and I believe this group is committed to it."
Next up for the Islanders will be a Feb. 12 match at the all-new Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center on the Momentum Campus of Texas A&M – Corpus Christi. It will be the first-ever men's tennis regular-season match at the facility, and they will christen it with a contest against No. 19 Texas at 2 p.m. that Sunday.

"Success is how highyou bounce when you hit bottom."General George Patton
Let's face it, endurance eventsare painful. When it catches athletes off guard, their performance falters. Thesolution is to get beyond the pain, and to maintain focus in the present withthe goal in mind.
On race day Sam knew he had doneeverything possible to prepare for the century cycling event, a 100-mile bikerace. It was a confidence booster. He relished the rush of adrenaline coursingthrough his body in anticipation of the start.
About halfway into the raceduring a steep uphill climb Sam hit his wall of pain. With years of cyclingunder his belt he is familiar with the pain. Sam has inconsistent success toget beyond the wall. On this particular ride he suffered from the pain, unableto regain focus.
Thoughts about deserving,capabilities and doubt begin to surface. His inner critic distracted his focus.As he became keenly aware of the discomfort, his pain increased. For a fleetingmoment he considered falling with a fake injury to withdraw from the race.Anything to stop the discomfort. Sam, however, always continues forwarddetermined to break through the pain.
Only three options were availableto Sam once he slammed into his wall of pain. He could retreat, change his paceand drop back, or move forward pushing beyond the pain. The overbearing painled to him drop back. Cyclists he would normally have beaten began passing him.
His inconsistent response to painwas interfering with his high performance goals. He knew there had to be abetter way. Like most endurance athletes, Sam was persistent, curious about howto push his limits, face his fears, and learn from his mistakes. He possessed adaring spirit.
Sam's initial reaction to painautomatically triggered specific thoughts. He developed this response overtime. It didn't just happen overnight.
Sam's goal was to create a newresponse to the pain. Instead of suffering through it, he was ready to meet ithead on. Once he determined his typical response, the next step was to detachfrom those thoughts, taking away their power.
The easiest approach was to usethe Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). EFT, like acupuncture, works on theenergy system within the body. The goal for Sam was to easily maintain highperformance instead of getting into a struggle. EFT helped Sam to emotionallydetach from the negativity in his story about pain. Once that was done he coulddevelop a new response.
Sam successfully used EFT todetach, changing his perception about pain. Next Sam explored strategies hecould easily use to remain focused. First off, his wall of pain was not animpassible brick wall anymore. Now he saw it as a paper thin wall which hecould easily ride through.
A game plan was developed for pushingthrough his pain threshold. He knew from experience when it would be likely tooccur. He created new positive thoughts to maintain focus, and identifiedseveral incremental goals to challenge himself along the course. Creating a strategychanged his perspective from reactive to active. Sam's new response is to cyclethrough the paper wall, maintaining focus on his performance.
To shorten the learning curve,Sam began visualizing using his new response when the pain hit. First he wouldacknowledge the physiological response to pushing his body's limit, then challengehimself to achieve shorter goals along the course. Choosing a new response wasliberating.
Becoming absorbed with thoughtsabout suffering is energy draining. Yes, the body sensations are very, veryreal. It is important to recognize that hitting a pain threshold does not haveto be a cue for your inner critic to take charge. Minimize the criticalthoughts telling you why you don't deserve to race or what a poor decision youmade thinking you could compete. Fear and doubt tense your body which affectsperformance. Instead of allowing the negativity to take control, recognize itis possible to break through this mindset.
Activity: Athletes know they aregoing to face pain. It is part of the challenge. An abundance of strategiesexist for getting past your wall of pain. Acknowledging the pain withoutfeeding into it is necessary as you strive to improve your performance. Thepain, however, does not lessen. Work on improving your ability to work throughit, making it less of a distraction.
When are you most likely to hityour wall of pain? Consider your thoughts when this occurs. Now list newthoughts you would rather have. Keep them simple to one or two word phrases. Nextdecide how you would like to challenge yourself along the course, choosing tomaintain focus on performance instead of pain. When those tough moments hithaving smaller mile markers along the course helps to provide incrementalaccomplishments along the way.
When pain hits do you become yourown worst enemy? It is difficult to maintain high performance when you are in abattle with your inner critic, fighting the discomfort. Resilience is requiredto excel in endurance sports. It is important to increase your frustrationlevel and will power to cope with emotional pain.

After nearly 20 years as a naturalist, Michael Moran has come to represent the face of the East Bay Regional Park District. Working in East Contra Costa and credited with developing and implementing programs and establishing important community relationships, Moran was recently recognized as one of two 2012 Master Front-Line Interpreters by the National Association for Interpretation.
In a sense, Moran could also be credited as the voice of the park district, after his college plans to work as a radio sports announcer veered off track because of one general education class in recreation. "The class covered everything from land preservation to stewardship, and it hit me like a ton of bricks," Moran said. "That class propelled me in this direction."
After working at Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve, the Oakland resident now serves as acting supervising naturalist at Big Break Regional Shoreline, and he couldn't be happier about his location and the people he shares it with. With Big Break coming into development after 20 years within the park district, Moran sees his role as a spokesman for the Delta.
"Our idea is to get people out there to appreciate and know their Delta," he said. "It's the most important chunk of real estate in California as far as the things it concerns, so we really need to get an informed citizenry, and that's our big key."
Phased development at Big Break has resulted in one corner of the park furnished with a large-scale model of the Delta, a walkout over the pier, a big amphitheater right on the water and a recently completed Visitor Center. Though only open on weekends, the park is now a big draw, and people are happy to see it.
Bringing people out is exactly what Moran and the district want. Aside from all the nuts-and-bolts reasons for the importance of the Delta, the bottom line is what is actually out there. "It's a great place to go and have fun and see things many people probably thought were gone from California -- beautiful wetlands, migratory birds and even Chinook salmon running through Marsh Creek," Moran said. "My bottom line is that when people leave a program I'm doing, I want them to have had a good time."
Moran's enthusiasm and dedication go a long way toward his success as a leader in developing important collaborations within the community. He credits teachers ready to guinea-pig new programs in their classrooms; the Delta Science Center, soon to interpret some of the scientific research collected surrounding the Delta; and Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed, who recently installed a fish ladder. Moran describes all as a "ready and willing bunch of people."
As a representative of both the park district and his craft, Moran describes all naturalists as the face of the district because of the job they do as interpreters, facilitating and making the connection between parks and people. "We want people to understand their parks but also to really get a feel for stewardship," Moran said. "That this is their park."
Humbled by receiving the 2012 Master Front-Line Interpreter Award, Moran sees this more as a reflection on the business of interpretation rather than a personal recognition. He feels so lucky to have the system of interpretation set up and strongly supported by the East Bay Regional Park District and the people of the East Bay.
"If it weren't for that system, there would be no reason to have an award," he said.
Though hugely pleased with the public response to Big Break Regional Shoreline, Moran continues to work toward the district's mission of making a connection with everyone in the East Bay, and it is here that his skill as an interpreter shines through.
"Interpretation is the connections, not the programs. You've got to make whatever you're talking about or sharing part of the experience of each person or else it's sterile," Moran said. "That connection is the key."
Big Break Regional Shoreline is at 69 Big Break Road in Oakley. For more information, call 510-544-2753 or visit www.ebparks.org/parks/big_break.

Motorola is shaking up the way we buy smartphones, but before I get into that, a little background.
Most Americans who buy cellphones take advantage of a carrier subsidy to get their phone at a reduced price or for free. For example, an iPhone 5S actually costs $650. But if you are willing to sign-up for a two-year contract, you can get one for $200 or, sometimes, as little as $100. A Samsung Galaxy S5 costs $600 from Verizon. But the company is "selling" them for only $100 with a two-year commitment,
I put "selling" in quotes because your "ownership" of that phone comes with restrictions. In addition to the buyer being locked into a contract, the phone itself is locked, which means it can't be used on another carrier's network unless the buyer or the cellular company unlock it.
As I found out when I arrived in London last week, the unlocking process isn't always perfect. I brought three phones with me. Two were Google Nexus phones that had never been locked. They're sold by Google at full retail price, and can be used on any carrier with a compatible GSM network. The other phone was my wife's Galaxy S4 from Sprint. Before we left, I called Sprint and, after navigating my way through a long and complicated string of automated options, finally reached a person who then transferred me to the international desk. Ultimately, the phone was unlocked over the network and I was given instructions on how to finish the process by punching in numbers on the phone.
When I got to London, my first stop was the Vodafone shop at Victoria Station, where they sold me two United Kingdom SIM cards and service for 10 pounds ($17) each. The installation in my Nexus phones went perfectly and minutes later I was able to make calls, access data and exchange text messages. But the clerk wasn't able to get data on my wife's previously unlocked Galaxy S4, so I handed him the other never-locked Nexus phone and everything worked fine
That's not the first time I had that problem with U.S. phones that were purchased locked and later unlocked. When I got to Turkey a few weeks ago, my supposedly unlocked AT&T Galaxy S5 wouldn't work at all. In the United States, if you try to use an AT&T locked phone on another GSM carrier, like T-Mobile, you're completely out of luck.
We've always been able to buy unlocked phones but usually at a very steep price. T-Mobile, which calls itself the "uncarrier," was the first to shake things up by introducing a contract-free plan where you pay for your phone monthly in what amounts to an interest-free loan. But by the time it's paid for you're out the full amount of the phone, which can set you back $600 or more.
But Motorola, which is still owned by Google but about to become part of PC maker Lenovo, is changing the equation. A few months ago, it introduced the unlocked Moto G Android phone for $180 and last week, here in London, they introduced the Moto E, which sells for $129 unlocked and without a contract.
I attended Motorola's press event and tried out the new phone. While it's not the slickest phone on the market, it's quite good. The 4.3-inch screen is very readable, it felt good in my hand and seemed responsive enough when I used it to access the Web, make a call and send texts. It comes with only 4 GB of storage but allows you to insert a micro SD card, which gives you up to 32 additional GB. So if you add $20 for a 32 GB card, you have a $149 phone that has 4 GB more storage than a $750 iPhone 5S, at one-fifth the price.
My only major complaint about the Moto E is the lack of a front-facing camera. You can't easily use it for selfies or video conferencing. That seems like a silly thing to leave out on a phone that's priced to appeal to younger users who typically love to take selfies.
I'm hoping that other companies will follow Motorola's lead by introducing high-quality phones for under $200 without a contract. Personally, I'm tired of being locked into a long-term relationship with my cellphone carrier. A few months ago my contract expired and rather than re-upping, I got a relatively low-cost Nexus 5 phone for $350 and a $60 pay-as-you-go plan from AT&T that gives me unlimited text and voice and 2.5 of GB data, and the right to cancel the plan or switch carriers without a termination fee. There are even cheaper plans out there from AIO Wireless, Walmart and others.
So, to summarize my new situation and borrow from those MasterCard commercials: Phone: $350. Service: $60 a month. Freedom: Priceless.

About the Book
Caldecott Medalist Paul O. Zelinsky illustrates Kelly Bingham's outrageously funny, critically acclaimed, and boundary-breaking story about a moose, a zebra, and the alphabet! Zebra wants to put on a show as simple as ABC, but Zebra's friend Moose has other (unexpected and hilarious) ideas!
Zebra thinks the alphabet should be simple. A is for Apple. B is for Ball. Easy! But his friend Moose is too excited to wait his turn, and when M isn't for Moose (Mouse gets the honor), the rest of the letters better run for cover. Exuberant and zany storytelling brings to life two friends and one laugh-out-loud comedy of errors that's about friendship, sharing, and compromise. The incomparable Paul O. Zelinsky's artwork is bursting at the seams—literally—with child appeal. Breaking the borders of the page, and creating the art both digitally and traditionally, Zelinsky turns convention on its head. The result is a picture book that is innovative, hilarious, and begging to be read over and over again.
Named a Notable Book for Children by the American Library Association
Supports the Common Core State Standards
Z is for Zebra.
Zebra is absolutely certain he'll be able to direct everyone to appear on the correct page, at the appropriate time, without any mishaps, unnecessary drama, or hurt feelings. It's the ABCs, for goodness' sake. How difficult can it be?
Oh, dear.
Zebra forgot about moose.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Asked about the recent rash of elbow injuries around baseball, Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti jumped back as though stabbed with an electric cattle prod.
"No way, no way, I'm not talking about that," said Righetti, waving his hands and scurrying away. "I'm not joking. I don't want to jinx us."
Righetti is usually an agreeable and articulate talker on just about any facet of pitching, but his paranoia regarding the mere mention of the words "elbow" or "Tommy John" is understandable. As the epidemic of arm surgeries continues to mount, the Giants are one of the few teams that have largely escaped the well-used scalpels of Dr. James Andrews and other surgeons.
Their record has been so good, in fact, almost everybody in the organization is reluctant to talk about it -- from manager Bruce Bochy and Righetti to the team's training staff to the pitchers themselves. They know it could all change on one toss of a baseball, and they're treading lightly.
"We've been really fortunate, no question, the way these guys have held up ... knock on wood," Bochy said. "They were worked pretty good from 2010 to 2012, and it's a credit of how well they take care of themselves. But luck is a big part of it. Genetics, too."
A study by Bleacher Report sports injury writer Will Carroll revealed last year that 124 of the 360 pitchers who started the 2013 season in Major League Baseball -- a little more than one-third -- have had reconstructive elbow surgery at some point in their careers.
That statistic shows no signs of waning with the almost daily news of some pitcher going down. The A's Jarrod Parker. Atlanta's Kris Medlen. Arizona's Patrick Corbin. The list goes on, and the trend has been more surgeries, not fewer, despite medical and training advancements.
Giants defy numbers
The Giants are going the opposite way. As Bochy stated, it's particularly amazing considering the innings load the club's three homegrown starting pitchers -- Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner -- have undertaken over the past several years, loads that have included two deep postseason runs.
The organization as a whole has been relatively free of dreaded Tommy John news in recent years. Former closer Brian Wilson was the most notable exception. Wilson blew his elbow for the second time (the first time was in college) at the outset of the 2012 season, but even in his case, he hid the symptoms of his aching arm from the training staff until it was too late.
Other than Wilson, the only other Giants pitcher who has had the surgery since 2010 was left-hander Eric Surkamp, who pitched a mere handful of games with the major-league club in 2011. Surkamp was designated for assignment in December and claimed by the Chicago White Sox.
The club's minor league system has been relatively unscathed, as well. Hunter Strickland, an 18th-round pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates who was claimed by the Giants last year off waivers, required the surgery last May after a great start at Class-A San Jose, and he's well on the road to recovery.
But beyond that ... nothing. It prompts several questions. Do the Giants have a secret? Are their training regimens that different? Do the pitchers they draft simply have better mechanics or pitching genes? Or are they just plain lucky?
In Lincecum's case, experts have been predicting an arm breakdown for years. Beyond his almost violent motion, he doesn't even ice his arm after starts, yet he has pitched more than 1,400 innings in the big leagues with nary a twinge in his elbow or shoulder.
Lincecum subscribes to the genetics theory.
"With some people it's luck and with others it isn't," he said. "Some people have sound mechanics and just have terrible luck because their body doesn't allow it. Some people are elastic like me and can mess up with their mechanics and still not have it hurt them.
"I guess I'm lucky in that regard, but I think it's also about preparation. I think our guys prepare really well. Obviously Cain knows what it takes with how durable he's been, and Bum at a young age seems to be following the same track."
Nothing different here
Bochy doesn't believe the Giants have invented the wheel, though.
"I don't know if we do anything that different," the manager said. "Our guys do their throwing every day, and they're faithful about conditioning. Each individual has their own routine that they go through, and each is a little bit different. (Barry) Zito, for example, was a real believer in the long toss. Other guys have different methods."
Zito pitched seven years for the Giants and never missed a start because of an arm injury. The club does now have two members of the rotation who have had Tommy John surgery, but with other clubs. Tim Hudson had the operation in 2009 with Atlanta, and Ryan Vogelsong had it in 2001 with Pittsburgh.
Even though it's been more than 12 years since he had his surgery, Vogelsong still frets about it happening again. But unlike back then, he takes every precaution he can.
"I've been down that road once, and I really don't want to revisit it," he said. "I just really try to focus on taking care of my arm. I'm really religious about my rotator cuff workouts and making sure I do my (scapula) stuff. I do a lot of forearm work, too. I've picked up a lot of things along the way. They're not fun workouts. They're tedious and time-consuming. But you have to do them."
Lincecum, while talking up his genetics, is also wary he can only carry the freak factor so far.
"It's not something I just take for granted," he said. "I really work at it now, and I try to maintain my flexibility as I get older."
He knows he's lucky. He knows the Giants have been lucky as he surveys the daily sports tickers.
"It's sad more than anything because you never want to see a person's career threatened by an injury," Lincecum said. "It's crazy what's happening. It's just really hard to watch."
Or in Righetti's case, even discuss.

Office Parties Are Back, But Hold the Bubbly
After several years in frugal exile, the office holiday party is coming back–but don't expect much.
Nine in 10 companies plan to throw a holiday fete this year, the highest percentage recorded since the Great Recession, reports the latest annual survey by global executive search firm Battalia Winston. Last year, 74% of firms said they planned to host a party.
Employee morale was the main reason companies cited for throwing a holiday party, followed by celebrating good business results. Ten percent said they'll do it mainly because of tradition. The survey, now in its 24th year, polled 105 companies of varying sizes, including a mix of public and private firms.
"You can't be Scrooge forever," says Dale Winston, CEO of the New York City-based search firm. "It's not that business is booming; it's just that [firms] don't want to keep skimming everything down."
Employers may feel they're showering staff with goodwill, but many workers don't actually want a holiday party, according to a Glassdoor study published in Forbes. When asked what they want this holiday season, people overwhelmingly preferred cash bonuses, pay raises, paid time off and grocery gift cards – in other words, perks with a dollar value. Just 5% of employees said they'd prefer a holiday party, according to the survey, which polled more than 2,000 employees.
Of course, your boss's definition of a party may differ from yours–especially when it comes to alcohol. According to the Battalia Winston study, one in five company parties will be dry, and only about a third of parties will be held in the evening, with 43% scheduled to take place during lunch. And most parties will be employees-only: Just three in 10 companies said they plan to extend party invites to staff spouses and kids.
And, though a few firms are planning particularly lavish extravaganzas – at least one company reported that it would whisk staffers away on a weekend trip to Las Vegas – the vast majority are sticking to simple venues. Forty percent will host their holiday parties at a restaurant, while 29% will keep the festivities at the office.
"No one is having champagne-and-caviar-ice-sculpture parties anymore," Winston says. "Those days are long gone."
And that might be for the best, since office parties are also fertile ground for career-killing antics.
The Creative Group a division of staffing firm Robert Half International Inc, recently asked 750 marketing and advertising executives to describe the wackiest incidents they've seen at company parties. Some highlights: a person who rode naked on a Ferris wheel, someone driving a golf cart into a river, and a sighting of bosses in boxer briefs. (Yecch. — Ed.)
Readers, tell us: Is your company throwing a holiday party this year? Will you go?

The Systematic Character of the National Socialist Policy for the Extermination of the Jews: Electronic Edition, by Heinz Peter LongerichTable of Contents
|<< III. Regional mass murder...
|< I. Introduction
|V. The machinery of mass... >
IV. The Escalation of operations in Early 1942
1.A further escalation of the extermination policy can be observed in the period between May and June 1942. Previously the mass murders had been restricted to individual areas and had been represented as responses to problems arising in these areas by the responsible authorities. Now the politics of extermination was extended to the entire area under German domination. Until By the middle of 1942 a new conception had gained acceptance with the authorities: the regionally limited advances towards the "Final Solution", which was previously intended to be accomplished in its full scope only after the end of the war, were now understood to enable the achievement of the "Final Solution" during the course of the war. This was to be achieved through an intensification and expansion of the killings, and by means of the killing -machinery originally intended for mass murders in the separate regions.
2.- At the end of May/June, 1942, the systematic mass murders of Jews in the Districts Lublin and Galicia were extended to all Districts of the Generalgouvernement. The killing of the great majority of Polish Jews carries with it all the typical characteristics of an operation executed according to plan. Relevant here is that when HSSPF Krüger was appointed State Secretary for Security310 (Staatssekretär für Sicherheitsfragen) in May, an order of 3 June regulating his new position, gave him the mandate to take charge of all "Jewish Affairs" (Judenangelegenheiten).311 In May, the extermination camp Sobibor was opened, while Belzec was closed temporarily to enable an enlargement of its killing capacity. In May, or in June at the latest, the construction of a third extermination camp, Treblinka, had began in the District of Warsaw.312 In the District of Lublin, systematic deportations from the localities began in May, independently of the arrival of transports from Central Europe.313 From the beginning of May, the transports from the District of Cracow to Belzec were started.314 The start of deportations from the other districts was delayed due to a barring of transportation which was imposed in mid-June. At a meeting dealing with police matters in Cracow on 18 June 1942 , there was general agreement that "the problem of Jewish resettlement pushes us to make a decision"315, as HSSPF Krüger put it. After the bar on transportation had come to an end, the "Jew-action should be carried out with greater intensity".316 The deportations from the District of Cracow to Belzec were resumed in July immediately following the lifting of the bar on transportation. Between 22 July and 12 September, approximately 250.000 people were deported from the Warsaw Ghetto to Treblinka, where they were murdered. At the beginning of August, the deportations from the District of Radom to Treblinka began.317
3.- Likewise in mid-May, the systematic murder of the Jews of annexed Upper-Silesia was started. In the course of May and June, thousands of Jews were deported to Auschwitz to be murdered by means of gas immediately after their arrival.318
4.- In May 1942, a fourth wave of deportations from the Reich was set into motion. The transports to Minsk were begun again, to which around 26.000 people were brought from the area of the "Greater German Reich" in 23 transports between May and September.319 The modus operandi of the extermination was new, however. The deportees were no longer imprisoned in ghettos. Instead, the trains went on to a station near the estate of Maly Trostinez. There almost all of the deportees were shot on the spot or murdered in gas-vans.320 In the period between August and December the remaining transports of the fourth wave of deportations from the Reich went, almost without exception, straight into the extermination camps of Auschwitz and Treblinka.321
5.- Likewise, the Jews arriving from Slovakia and the District of Lublin, were no longer brought to ghettos from June onward, but were deported straight to the extermination camps of Sobibor.322 - The new level of escalation of early 1942, led to the abandoning of the concept of "transit-ghettos" for Jews coming out of Central Europe. This further radicalisation also had the consequence that between 4 and 15 May, the Jews who had been deported to Lodz from Central Europe the previous Fall - those almost 11.000 people who had survived the devastating conditions of life in the ghetto - were murdered by gas-vans stationed in Chelmno.323
6.- From mid-July the programme of deportations from Western Europe had been set in motion. These transports went to Auschwitz. The trains from Slovakia had also now been redirected to Auschwitz, just as the first of the fourth wave trains from the Reich. After the completion of provisional gas-chambers in two farm houses (Bunkers I and II), the method first introduced in May in Minsk and in June in Sobibor was now begun in Auschwitz on 4 July. Starting with the transports from Slovakia, the SS went over to murdering the majority of the deported in the gas-chambers, immediately after a "selection" had taken place on the ramp.324
7.In July, after the bar on transportation had been lifted, the European-wide programme of deportations and killings had thus come into operation in its full compass. Himmler, immediately after he had convinced himself that the programme of extermination was functioning during an inspection tour in July325, established a concrete schedule demanding the extermination of the Jews of the Generalgouvernement on 19 July; by the end of the year, the Jews of the Generalgouvernement were to be killed, excepting only a small remaining group of Jews "fit for work", who were to be placed under the control of the SS.326 Himmler's demand had immediate repercussions on the deportations in the Generalgouvernement where from 22 July onward, 5000 people a day had been deported from Warsaw alone to the extermination camp at Treblinka.327

Version is 3.0 and developer sold the software to a different company.
i used this for some time, then switched to MarsEdit. people that are not satisfied with ecto should look into that.
I use ecto to manage half a dozen different sites (all Wordpress driven), and it works beautifully. The only problems I've ever had were related to timing out when sending a post with several images as thumbnails, but creating a new entry quickly solved that issue.
Highly recommended!
I saw a reccomendation on this app and thought I would give it a try. In the middle of working on a new blog post, the damn thing crashed on me. Lost the entire entry. Major suckage. I'm going back to other tools.
Well, I don't like Textile either, it produces some pretty weird coding too. If anyone has anything better to suggest I would definitely be interested.
It's a great app, and the Universal one is muuuuuch faster.
Yes, it makes nasty HTML code, but I use Textile so meh.
Too complicated. It can't handle code. Ends up cluttering oen database with slow, difficult to handle code, especially for pictures.... also the picture uploading feature doesn't work. I've basically just about stoppped using it....
This is one amazing app. If you blog on a Mac, you'll want to give it a try.
Its editor make blogging much easier!
Perfect for keeping more than one blog up to date.

Today, most Chinese biopharmaceutical companies have realized the importance of external services and are looking for those that meet their needs and standards. This issue was discussed in detail with CEOs and senior executives at five Chinese biopharmaceutical companies: 3S Bio, Inc., Shanghai Sunway Biotech, Beijing Four Rings Biopharma, Beijing Tri-Prime Gene, and Shenzhen Interlong Biotech Co.
Most Chinese biopharmaceuticals are relatively small and there are not enough of them to sustain a robust services sector. According to Dusheng Cheng, general manager at Beijing Four Rings Biopharma, "Most Chinese biopharmas are small and product distribution is relatively scattered, because most companies have only a few strong-selling products." Cheng says that additional funding would be required to enable companies to complete the entire pharmaceutical process value chain. More importantly, he believes, "Completing the process value chain [internally] would be a waste of capital, manpower, and material. Some of the time-consuming, investment-demanding processes would become a big burden to companies [if they were brought in-house]." More and more Chinese biopharmaceutical companies are seeking external service providers to help complete the whole process.
Yongqing Cheng, general manager at Beijing Tri-Prime agrees, "Facing harsh competition in the domestic market, Chinese biopharmas certainly wish to invest their limited resources in ways that will allow them to be most competitive. Therefore, they really need external services."
Analytical testing, toxicology, and animal test services are among the services that have a great demand in China today. Four Rings Biopharma's Cheng believes that these services are critical because, "Chinese biopharmas find these assays are more strictly evaluated by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA)."
Dr. Jing Lou, CEO of 3S Bio, Inc., notes that his company has already contracted out analytical testing such as carbohydrate structure analysis of glycoproteins from mammalian cell-expressed process. Dr. Lou believes that such external services can help ensure in vivo activity in certain glycoproteins such as erythropoietin (EPO) and thrombopoietin (TPO).
Other services in demand include clinical research services, technology transfer, and cell line construction and development. According to Dusheng Cheng, though, "The companies providing these services are still early stage and large-scale professional service companies are not available." Moreover, quality management, training, and drug distribution services (contract sales) are sparse in China. Services that may be required in the near future, but are not in high demand yet, include contract manufacturing, formulation, and stability studies, which today are needed at relatively few companies.

I've been using PMs for a couple of months, and while I had problems with it at the beginning, I somehow managed to fix them and make it work.
I haven't used it in a while (I'd say around two weeks) and two days ago when I wanted to use it, I powered up my PS3 and updated it.
Since that moment, PMS just can't find my PS3, and vice-versa.
can anyone suggest a solution?
I have tried un-installnig and installing numerous times, I tried switching from Wired to wireless internet connection (both PC and PS3), none of these worked for me.

An audacious plan to build a diverse supply of skilled programmers by ensuring that computer science classes are available in every K-12 school in the United States received a tremendous boost Monday when a who's who of Silicon Valley and the tech industry announced they would back the effort with money and know-how.
Tech superstars such as Microsoft's Bill Gates, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Susan Wojcicki of Google (GOOG), Jack Dorsey of Square, Reid Hoffman of LinkedIn, investors John Doerr and Ron Conway and powerhouse companies including Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Amazon and Salesforce.com have all signed on with Code.org, a nonprofit that started just over a year ago as the dream of Iranian immigrants and tech investors Hadi and Ali Partovi.
"It's been amazing, collecting this group we've assembled," Hadi Partovi, a Seattle-based angel investor, said at a San Francisco news conference to kick off the effort. The group aims aimed to expose more kids to a rapidly growing field that is fast becoming one of the most important in the U.S. economy. "This is incredible support from the tech industry," he said.
Code.org would not disclose how much money it had raised through its benefactors.
As a kick-start to the ambitious effort, Partovi issued a challenge for every school student to spend an hour coding during a week in December. He said he would donate enough laptops for an entire classroom to 50 participating schools. Another 50 classrooms will win a video conference call with a tech luminary, including the likes of Gates, Dorsey and Wojcicki.
The hour of coding challenge, which Partovi hopes will result in 10 million students being exposed to programming, is something of a gimmick for the much larger goal. Code.org's plan, with the help of the deep pockets and big brains it has recruited, is to train at least one teacher in every school to be a computer science instructor.
The idea is to give every student the opportunity to decide whether computer science is for him or her in the hopes of staving off a severe shortage of programmers, a worry of the tech industry for years. Hoffman, who appeared at the news conference -- which ended with a panel discussion including California State Superintendent of Schools Tom Torkalson, PayPal co-founder Max Levchin, Brad Smith of Microsoft and Maggie Johnson of Google -- said computer science education would prove valuable even for students who go into other careers.
"For one," Hoffman said, "it actually teaches problem solving and critical thinking, which is useful anywhere in terms of what you're doing in your life."
Moreover, social scientists and others have for decades pointed out the lack of diversity of those studying computer science and holding positions in the field. While women make up a majority of those attending college and have nearly reached parity in the fields of medicine, law, math and some sciences, they account for only about 18 percent of those who received computer science degrees in 2010, the latest figures available from the National Science Foundation.
The numbers for blacks and Latinos are even worse. The Computer Research Association reported that in 2011, blacks earned 3.6 percent of computer science degrees. The association reported that the number for Hispanics was 5.4 percent.
Those who have studied the issue say one factor in low participation among women and some minorities is a lack of exposure to the field early in their academic careers. Computer science becomes a closed club, the argument goes, of white and Asian boys who took to computing early through the encouragement of teachers, parents and media stories of the successes of young men in the field. By the time women, blacks and Latinos are exposed to the subject some time in college, it is often too late to embrace computer science as a major.
Though no exact figures are available, Code.org estimates that only 10 percent of the nation's high schools offer computer science classes. Smith said during the panel discussion that fewer than 3,000 of the country's 42,000 high schools are certified to offer advance placement computer science.
UCLA senior researcher Jane Margolis, who co-wrote "Unlocking the Clubhouse: Women in Computing" and who's studied the gender gap in computer science since the 1990s, says Code.org's push into schools is needed to diversify the ranks of computer scientists. Today high school computer science is largely limited to kids whose families can afford private instruction or who live in marquee school districts that offer advance placement computer science classes.
"What we're trying to do is make sure that it's not just the kids of preparatory privilege," says Margolis, who's working with the Los Angeles Unified School District on an effort to expand and diversify computer science education there. "We want to make sure that all these other kids are learning this really important knowledge."

A mammogram is a screening test for breast cancer . These types of screening tests play an important role in maintaining good health. While some tests can be done quickly during a regular doctor's visit, a mammogram requires an additional appointment at a special facility. The test itself is also rather uncomfortable, not to mention the stress that just the mention of cancer can cause. Do the benefits of mammograms outweigh these downfalls? The following will help you understand the benefits and risks of a mammogram so that you can make an informed decision about your options.
Screening tests can help identify illnesses and health problems before symptoms arise. For illnesses like cancer, early detection may allow for more treatment options and can improve the prognosis.
Mammograms may detect changes in the breast that could be cancerous up to two years before a lump can be felt. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early stage of a type of breast cancer, can also be found with mammography. An early start to treatment may also stop the cancer before it spreads to the rest of the breast tissue or to other organs.
As a screening test, a mammogram cannot actually diagnose breast cancer. To diagnose breast cancer, other tests or procedures will need to be done to closely examine the suspicious tissue. A mammogram simply suggests that cancer may or may not be present. Limits of the test can lead to false results. The test may suggest that cancer is present when it is not. This is called a false positive. The test may also suggest that cancer is not present when it does exist. This is called a false negative.
Sometimes, a mammogram may suggest that there is a cancerous change in breast tissue when there really is not. Benign (noncancerous) tissue can look suspicious on a mammogram. Follow-up tests to confirm what the tissue is may include additional mammograms, ultrasound exams, breast biopsies, and other medical tests. If the original mammogram was a false positive, which may happen 10% of the time, the additional medical tests and associated stress are unnecessary.
A normal mammogram does not guarantee that you are cancer free. One possibility is that the test result may be a false negative, meaning the mammogram was not able to show a cancer that was there. A clear test may also encourage a false sense of security, which may lead you to ignore symptoms that should be discussed with a doctor. You may be inclined to rely solely on mammograms instead of manual exams at doctor's appointments or general self-health awareness.
Radiation can cause cancer and is used during a mammogram. However, the mammogram uses small doses of radiation that are considered safe. Some have voiced concerns about long-term exposure with repeated mammograms. Research has not found a link between mammogram testing and cancer development. There appears to be little risk of harm from this radiation.
Some studies suggest that mammograms can decrease the rate of cancer death, while other studies have questioned these findings. What is agreed on is that the effectiveness of the mammogram may change based on the individual and the type of cancer, for example:
There are many professional, medical, and cancer groups that have their own set of mammography guidelines. The majority of guidelines agree that:
The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has provided some added qualifications. The USPTF does not recommend regular mammograms for women 40-49 years of age with average risk of breast cancer. Instead, the task force suggested that each woman in this age group make an individual decision with their doctor based on her personal risks and benefits. Also, they recommend mammogram screening every two years for women 50-74 years of age, rather than every year.
Most guidelines do not have a recommended age to stop mammogram screening. The American Geriatric Society recommends mammography frequency changes to every 2-3 years after 75 years of age and the termination of screening if life expectancy is less than four years.
Discuss these benefits and harms, as well as any risk factors you may have, with your doctor. This may help you make a decision on whether to have a mammography exam.
Awareness of your own health and periodic check-ins with your doctor will help identify signs of illness that need further testing, as well as ensure regular screenings. Contact your doctor if you notice a change in the look or feel of your breast.

In the news lately there has been a rash of child drownings that caused me to remember a prayer I clipped from the Old Louisville Times in 1966. I have files of newspaper clippings and magazines, and quotes from writers of books, something that will cause my children to gasp at when they find them someday. I thought some of your readers might find the prayer as beautiful as I did.

The very famous designer, Nils-Magnus 'Måns' Hartelius, was the father of many successful cross-country vehicles designed and produced by Volvo. One design, which proved to be very efficient, was the 'Laplander' vehicle developed in the late 1950s.
A first-class successor
The Laplander was designed in response to a design competition created by the Swedish armed forces, who wanted a first-class successor to the 'GP' ('General Purpose') vehicle which had been purchased as surplus material after WW II and was now growing old and less efficient for new tasks.
The 'Laplander' was presented to the Swedish Army in 1959, when a number of pre-production units were produced for testing under the designation 'P2304'.
Forward-control type
The new vehicle was of the forward-control type, in order to decrease the total length, to increase the handling quality in terrain and to improve the weight distribution between the axles. This configuration also presented extremely good vision for the driver.
The final version 'L3314' was presented after very careful testing and was very similar to the early 'P2304' units. It now featured the more powerful 'B18' engine (at the end of the production period both the final version of the L3314/L3315 and the C202 were propelled by the slightly more powerful B20 engine with increased capacity).
Built from car components
The L3314 (as the final version's basic version was called) was an ingenious cross-country light-duty vehicle which was based to a fair extent upon components which were used also for Volvo cars like the 'PV544' and the 'Amazon'. Apart from the engine, the gearbox and the rear and front axle transmission units were also identical to the cars, even though an intermediate reduction transfer gearbox had been added to transfer the power to both axles and to reduce the speed at normal engine rpm in terrain.
One of the most important factors behind the extremely good terrain mobility was the large tyres, together with a generous ground clearance. A differential lock on the rear axle added traction under muddy conditions.
The basic version for military use was presented as an open vehicle with canvas roof. Somewhat later a 'Hardtop' version with steel superstructure and room for eight people was also introduced and produced in parallel with the canvas version.
A multi-purpose vehicle
The Hardtop version became the basic model when the civilian Laplander vehicle was introduced. A third version with pickup body, with room for two persons in the front seats and a small platform, was also available. This became popular for community service functions like snow-ploughing and for forest fire-fighting.
The Laplander was a genuine multi-purpose vehicle which was intended initially for transport of personnel and for intelligence scout duty by the Swedish 'Cavalry' troops (which did not use horses any longer...). Very soon a version for mobile radio-transmission was developed (on the basis of the Hardtop body) as well as ambulance models.
Qualified for combat duties
The Laplander, however, also proved its qualities on active combat duties, including its role as an anti-tank gun light-duty vehicle, in use in both Norway and Sweden. The Norwegian anti-tank vehicle was based on the normal forward-control version, while the Swedish special 'L3304' anti-tank vehicle had a unique body with a bonnet and a very strong roll-over-bar for improved safety for the crew.
A special version was also developed serving as a launch vehicle for very efficient anti-tank robots.
This generation of vehicles became very popular for both active military service and civilian service. The production of these vehicles stopped in 1970, since it was to be superseded by the more powerful (and much more expensive) 'C3' generation of high-mobility vehicles.
Production starts again
There was, however, a constant demand for the efficient and slightly less advanced 'Laplander' vehicle from various civilian customers. After constant requests for several years, production was re-started, this time in cooperation with a Hungarian manufacturer 'Csepel Auto' where production capacity was available (no suitable building was available for the production of these vehicles at the rapidly expanding Volvo factory in Gothenburg, Sweden).
The C202 was improved in several ways, in relation to the previous 'Laplander' version, including revised transmission components, new safer door-locks, etc).
In total, about 3,000 C202 vehicles were assembled before production finally stopped in 1981.

Todd Shanesy: Chas Dodd's talents wasted at Rutgers
Published: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 10:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 10:03 p.m.
Rutgers first-year football head coach Kyle Flood must be stubborn.
What happened Friday night as he stuck with his undying loyalty to sophomore quarterback Gary Nova during a pathetic effort in the Russell Athletic Bowl, a 13-10 overtime loss to Virginia Tech in Orlando, Fla., was absolutely mind-boggling.
It was might have been the worst game by a quarterback in bowl history if not college football history. Nova was unwatchable.
The only reason some of us peered through our fingers at this miserable performance was to see if Byrnes High School product Chas Dodd, the record-breaking and bowl-winning starter in his first two seasons at Rutgers, would get another chance.
It didn't happen.
Nova continued to be awful. He missed three wide-open touchdown passes in the first half alone and finished 17 of 40 for 129 yards. He led the offense to just three points and that was a missed opportunity for seven. He was sacked three times as he stood in the pocket for too long, had two balls knocked down at the line of scrimmage, threw a bad interception and could have been picked off five — yes, five — other times.
ESPN commentator Matt Millen, a former NFL player and general manager, said Nova has "awful footwork" and "throws a terrible deep ball."
Truth be told, despite leading Rutgers to a share of the Big East championship behind a strong defense, Nova hasn't been that good. He racked up more than 2,500 yards, but if Virginia Tech had held on to the would-be interceptions, Nova would have finished with more picks than touchdowns. The Scarlet Knights were seventh in passing offense, ahead of only Temple. In the red zone, they were dead-last in the league and not in the top 100 teams on the FBS level.
For the final third of the season, Nova actually got worse, ending with the lowest of low performances in the bowl game. For goodness sake, he was picked off six times by Kent State. In the final three games of the regular season, Nova threw five picks and the only win was 10-3.
And, yet, Dodd barely saw the field in his junior season.
Dodd started 16 games in his first two years, breaking numerous school records as a freshman (including 322 yards and two TDs in his first career start against Connecticut and four TD passes against Cincinnati) and leading Rutgers to a bowl victory against Iowa State as a sophomore.
This year, however, Dodd appeared briefly in three games. He threw one pass.
How this happened is beyond my understanding. How he never got a chance even in a mop-up role cries not only of stubbornness by the head coach, but perhaps something much, much worse.
Rutgers desperately needed a spark in the bowl game. Why not try Dodd?
In the postgame news conference, Flood was flooded with tough questions.
Reporter: "Are you confident in Nova as your starting quarterback going into the spring or will you open the competition?"
Flood: "I'm confident in Gary as our starting quarterback."
Say what?
"Nothing I saw from him made me feel like I should make a change," Flood said.
Really? Were you watching?
Meanwhile, Nova did not appear to have been knocked down a peg.
"I don't lose confidence. I never lose confidence," he said.
And when told that Flood stated that he would not open the quarterback competition next spring to Dodd or anyone else, Nova said, "I like that. It's great."
Dodd, to the surprise of no one who has been around him, hides his frustration and shows nothing but class.
"It's been difficult," Dodd told The Star-Ledger and NJ.com a few weeks ago. "Any guy wants to play, wants to be on the field. … Right now, in my position, instead of going and crying about it, I'm going to work hard and still try to be a leader on this team."
So you can count on Dodd not getting a chance next year, his senior season, and Rutgers riding all the way with a Nova that should have been parked.

More than 700 guests attended the gala, which honored Robert J. Ivanhoe, National Jewish Health Humanitarian Award recipient. Ivanhoe is the global real estate practice chair of Greenberg Traurig LLP, a highly regarded firm and the recipient of the prestigious 2010 USA Award for Excellence in Real Estate from Chambers and Partners.

Donations raised for "A Winter's Evening" will support The Robert and Anne Ivanhoe Fund for the Research and Care of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Immune-Related Diseases at National Jewish Health. The fund supports the Autoimmune Lung Center at National Jewish Health, which treats and researches rheumatoid arthritis, cancer and other immune-related diseases.
