California Department of Transportation representatives told Mariposa officials Tuesday they're considering separate options that would eliminate the need for a detour that's been slowing traffic for several years.
The Merced Sun-Star ( http://bit.ly/VVQYzL) reports that officials had the detour built after a rockslide more than six years ago dumped 70,000 tons of rock on the roadway about 12 miles outside the park.
The proposals to eliminate the detour include building a so-called "rock shed" or building a tunnel through the mountain along the side of roadway.
Caltrans officials say they expect one of the alternatives would be selected by fall, with construction starting by the summer of 2015.

My dearest family,
I have gone, I'm not coming back.You know when edward first explained it all to me I didn't takeinto account of the fact that I would be losing everyone I knew and loved. Charlie dying is the last straw. I love you all andthis is not about you it's about me. Tell Nessie I love her lots and thta this is not her fault either. I love you Edward but it is not enough, not anymore
I read the letter in disbelief. My emotions started with a flurry ranging from shock fear and then finally anger. How could Bella do this to me. I looked at Alice and the shock was written all over her face. I ran as fast as I could to get away from those thoughts just in case they held something i did not want to hear. As I ran I thiught about the letter. Something seemed wrong. Bella hated being called Isabella ans she did not like people calling Renesseme, Nessie. As I thought about it the more sure I became that this did not fit in with Bella. I knew she had taken Charlie's death hard but she had accepted it. Even Jasper had been comenting that her moods had been getting better. I turned toward home again frightened but ready to face what horrors lay bfore me.

Self Care Measures After A Stroke
What are self-care measures after a stroke?
Self-care measures are steps you can take to help recover from a stroke. Self-care measures help you learn skills to do your normal daily activities and decrease pain or problems moving. Your healthcare provider will help you develop a plan to care for yourself at home and at work.
What changes can a stroke cause?
- Weakness, or trouble moving, walking, or balancing
- Trouble swallowing, or breathing food and liquid into your lungs
- Pain, or lack of feeling when something touches your skin
- Vision loss
- Trouble speaking or understanding others
- Trouble remembering things, or getting lost easily
- Problems urinating or having bowel movements
What therapies may help me after a stroke?
Rehabilitation (rehab) is an important part of your recovery. Attend all rehab sessions so you can learn to prevent falls and to do activities more easily.
- Occupational: You learn new ways to do daily activities. You may learn new skills to help you bathe, dress, eat, and drive.
- Physical: You learn to strengthen your arms, legs, and hands. You learn exercises to improve your balance and movement to decrease your risk of falling.
- Speech: You learn skills needed to talk or swallow. You may be given thickened liquids to help keep you from breathing liquid into your lungs.
- Vocational: You learn skills that will help you return to work.
What exercises should I do?
You will have to exercise carefully after your stroke. You may have problems with balance or movement. You may need to have a healthcare provider with you when you exercise, to help keep you from falling. Carefully follow your healthcare provider's instructions.
- Gait training: Gait training helps improve the way you walk. You may walk on a treadmill or walk up and down stairs. You may have a harness (belt) strapped on you for support.
- Strength training: Weightlifting helps strengthen your muscles, including your heart. Do not lift weights that are heavier than your healthcare provider says is safe.
- Water exercises: Water exercises may be safer for you, because you will not fall while you exercise.
- Balance training: A healthcare provider helps you walk on a board. He will support you until you are able to balance on your own.
- Sensory training: This training helps you know when you are being touched.
- Vision coaching: A healthcare provider helps you learn how to cope with the changes to your vision.
What devices can help me recover?
- Canes and walkers: These may help your balance and decrease your risk of falling. Your healthcare provider may want you to use a cane with 3 or 4 legs for extra support.
- Splints and braces: Splints or braces can help keep your bones and joints sturdy as you walk. If your ankle or knee is weak, you may need to wear a brace for support.
- Wheelchairs: You may need a wheelchair if you cannot walk on your own. Ask your healthcare provider for more information about different types of wheelchairs. Healthcare providers will teach you how to move safely to and from your wheelchair.
- Tools: You may need special tools to help you get dressed or reach things. You may need to have grab bars installed in your home to help you move more safely. You may need tools installed in your car to help you drive safely.
What else can I do to recover?
- Stop smoking: If you smoke, it is never too late to quit. Smoking increases your risk of another stroke. Ask your healthcare provider for more information about how to stop smoking if you are having trouble quitting.
- Eat healthy foods: The foods you eat can help prevent or manage high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Eat foods that are low in fat, cholesterol, salt, and sugar. Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. If you take warfarin, it works best when you eat about the same amount of Vitamin K every day. Vitamin K is found in green leafy vegetables and certain other foods.
How can I tell if someone is having a stroke?
Know the F.A.S.T. test to recognize the signs of a stroke:
- F = Face: Ask the person to smile. Drooping on one side of the mouth or face is a sign of a stroke.
- A = Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. One arm that slowly comes back down or cannot be raised is a sign of a stroke.
- S = Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence that you say first. Speech that is slurred or sounds strange is a sign of a stroke.
- T = Time: Call 911 if you see any of these signs. This is an emergency.
When should I contact my healthcare provider?
- You have a sore on your skin that does not go away.
- You have new symptoms, or your symptoms are getting worse.
- You have pain that does not go away, even after you take pain medicine.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
When should I seek immediate care or call 911?
- You have fallen.
- You have chest pain.
- You have trouble breathing.
- You have weakness or numbness in your arm, leg, or face.
- You are confused and have problems speaking or understanding speech.
- You have vision loss or a severe headache.

An appeals court finds that
Kentucky State University officials were justified in confiscating a student-produced yearbook.
By Jane Kirtley Jane Kirtley (email@example.com) is the Silha Professor of Media Ethics and Law at the University of Minnesota's School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
Hazelwood was nothing less than a license to censor, and many school administrators jumped at the chance to do so, as the mounting requests for legal assistance received by the Student Press Law Center in Arlington, Virginia, attest. But the collegiate press successfully dodged this bullet because, in a footnote, the high court explicitly left open the question of "whether the same degree of deference [to school administrators] is appropriate with respect to school-sponsored expressive activities" at the college level. Relatively few officials at public universities tried to use Hazelwood to interfere in the exercise of students' free press rights, and no federal appeals court considered the question--until now.
In September, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled, 2-1, that administrators at Kentucky State University were justified in confiscating and prohibiting distribution of the 1992-94 student-produced yearbook, The Thorobred. The majority relied on Hazelwood to support its finding, but provided no explanation for its conclusion that the Supreme Court intended that case to apply to the collegiate press.
Former yearbook Editor Capri Coffer and student Charles Kincaid have petitioned for a rehearing, says their lawyer, Bruce Orwin.
The Supreme Court's reasoning in Hazelwood turned on several factors that would seem to have limited applicability to publications produced by university students. The court emphasized that the student newspapers censored in that case were produced as part of a credit-bearing course, taught by a faculty member, and therefore subject to tighter restraints in the interest of improving style and content. The court also cited concerns about the "emotional maturity" of the intended audience, hinting, for example, that younger students might be upset if an elementary school newspaper suggested that Santa Claus doesn't really exist.
But the most important element of the Hazelwood decision was the Supreme Court's finding that a school-sponsored newspaper, produced as a "supervised learning experience for journalism students," is not a "public forum" open to all viewpoints and opinions. Instead, the court said, "a school must be able to set high standards for student speech that is disseminated under its auspices."
And so it was that the KSU administrators made their case for applying Hazelwood to The Thorobred. When the yearbooks arrived, Betty Gibson, who was vice president for student affairs, didn't like them. She didn't like the purple cover. She didn't like the "vague" theme and title, "Kentucky State: Destination Unknown." And she didn't like the inclusion of photos of current events, presumably at the expense of campus activities. Pointing out that the yearbook was published on campus and partially funded by a mandatory student activities fee, she argued that The Thorobred was a school-sponsored publication.
Citing some ambiguous language in the KSU student handbook about whether the yearbook was an official organ of the university, Gibson argued, and the appeals court agreed, that the book wasn't a public forum. Even though it was the work of a single editor, not a class, and the Student Publications Board hadn't exercised its nominal authority to oversee production, the court said those factors failed to create the kind of "public forum" that would have been granted broad First Amendment protection.
The university had intended that The Thorobred provide a record of school activities and enhance the image of the school. When the 1992-94 edition failed to do that, school officials were entitled to confiscate it, the court majority ruled.
Dissenting Judge R. Guy Cole Jr. rejected the majority's unexplained adoption of Hazelwood, but was even more disturbed by its declaration that The Thorobred wasn't a public forum. At the least, Cole wrote, it was a limited forum, and speech in such a setting can be censored only to advance a compelling state interest.
September's decision plays into the hands of administrators who would like to turn student publications into public relations brochures. Although it is understandable that a college would like to show its best face to the community, that's not an appropriate goal for the scholastic press.

Update on the Coalition for Responsible Sex Ed
For the past 11 years, MOAPPP was a partner in leading the Coalition for Responsible Sex Ed. Formed in 1999 with the Minnesota AIDS Project, the Coalition advocates at the Minnesota state legislature for science-based sex education, while also defending Minnesota's minors' consent statute. Today, the Coalition has an active membership of more than 1200 individuals and 55 organizations. MOAPPP's role has been to keep the field informed and mobilize grassroots efforts in support of these issues. However, due to funding changes, MOAPPP can no longer serve this role and we are in conversation with our partners to determine next steps. These issues remain at the core of MOAPPP's vision and mission, and our dedication to the health of the young people of Minnesota is unchanged. We will provide further updates when available.
We will keep the Coalition website open so you can find information about previous years?work, but will not update it further at this time.
Press Coverage of Governor's Decision to Turn Back Federal Teen Pregnancy Prevention Funds
Several media outlets covered Governor Pawlenty's decision to turn back federal funds for evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention funds, but accept federal abstinence-only-until-marriage funding. This story got more complicated when the Governor issued an Executive Order directing state agencies to decline all discretionary funding associated with federal health care reform legislation. The ramifications of this action for the state are staggering.
The Coalition for Responsible Sex Ed urges you to contact the Governor's office to express your opinion about his decision to refuse funding for evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention funds:

The NFL draft takes center stage around here this week end. Start time is 3pm on ESPN Saturday and thankfull the time between selections has been shortened from 15 minutes to ten. Michigan State's Devin Thomas likely will be chosen around the 5 o'clock hour and the Detroit Lions' 15th over all pick likely will come shortly after that. The first bit of mystery comes with the second pick from the St. Louis Rams, since Jake Long has already signed with the Miami Dolphins.
Michigan State and Iowa play a 1pm doubleheader in Olds Park. The crowd could be significantly smaller than the record 12,862 on hand Thursday night for the game with the Lugnuts. The big lures there, let's face it, were the great weather and $2 beers on thirsty Thursday. Reports tell me it was a zoo in centerfield with people roaming around and pretending to be at a party with little clue that a baseball game was being played at the same time. Playing the Crosstown Showdown on a Thursday, however, lure many MSU students to Olds Park-- it's in advance of final exams studies and if the weather is good it's a great night to party. The $2 beers are the big key though.
Two of high school baseball's best collide at 11am in a doubleheader-- Mount Pleasant at Grand Ledge. Both are highly ranked and Grand Ledge is 9-1 after sweeping league rival Okemos on Thursday. MSU softball is home in the afternoon against mighty Michigan.
And the Big Ten men's golf championships run all day at Forest Akers West Course. The five man teams play 18 holes Saturday and Sunday after opening with 36 holes on Friday. Michigan State is defending champion and Spartan senior Ryan Brehm will have a great chance to win the individual title.
On TV, hi def, 3pm Saturday, game two between the Red Wings and Colorado Avalanche from Joe Louis Arena. The Red Wings opened with a 4-3 win on Thursday. The Wings beat Colorado all four games during the regular season. Former Spartan John-Michael Liles is now in his fifth year with the Avs and he scored a goal in game one.

Zuckerberg on IPO, Disappointment Over 'Home' App
For Mark Zuckerberg, what a difference a year makes.
The Facebook CEO returned to the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco Wednesday to talk up his company's successes on mobile phones and discuss its widening mission to connect people through new initiatives such as Internet.org. His on-stage interview was preceded by a company milestone: Facebook's stock closed on Wednesday at an all-time high of $45.04.
Just one year ago, Facebook seemed to be on a free fall. At the time, its stock was trading at about $20 per share — almost half of its IPO price — and many were wondering it Zuckerberg would ever figure out a profitable mobile business model. Then, at last year's TechCrunch Disrupt conference, Zuckerberg described his big bet on HTML5 — a technology that allows an app to work on various mobile devices — as one of the company's biggest mistakes.
This year, Zuckerberg didn't dwell on mistakes — though he did joke that he would be the last person that Twitter executives should talk to about "how to make a smooth IPO." He said he had worried that the messy IPO would leave his company demoralized or spur an exodus. But he now believes it is stronger and that he has a better grasp of its business.
With that chapter behind him, Zuckerberg says he's focused on fulfilling Facebook's larger mission. He said it is moving beyond the goal of connecting a billion people and now "retooling the company in a lot of ways" to go after more difficult problems — and to connect everyone and everything. Essentially, he wants a map to "understand everything in the world," he said.
Zuckerberg said that the company's heavily touted Home app for Android-based phones was "slower in rolling out" than he would have wanted. But he defended the software, describing it as a work-in-progress that more users would find valuable over time. "We're patient," he said, adding that the company was working on several improvements to Home, including more prominently featuring Instagram content and other social content in the app's lockscreen page, and promoting downloads of it within the Facebook app.
Michael Arrington, TechCrunch's co-founder, also asked the Facebook chief about one of the company's longstanding mottos, "move fast and break things." Arrington wondered: does that style ever get the company in trouble?
"Yes, it gets us into tons of trouble," said Zuckerberg. He later added, "values are only useful when they are controversial.

Apache Junction, Arizona, USA
Where's that confounded Dutchman?
First of all, this was an amazing event. The course was beautiful and varied and the support amazing. All the aid stations had both water and GU brew, and there were also GU gel, bananas, and Krispey Kremes broken into bite-size chunks. (I missed the Girl Scout cookies that were reportedly at one station.) The organizers had to scramble at the last minute when a storm blew through on the weekend that's normally clear and sunny. Portaloos were plentiful, and thanks to the full marathon being capped at 600, there were no lines at any of the loos enroute. In addition to the marathon there was a half, 10K, 8K trail run that was moved to the road last minute when the trails turned to mud overnight, and a 2 mile fun run for the kids.
On Saturday I drove out to AJ to pick up my packet at the expo . It was raining off and on with a little wind. The expo was indoors at the AJ multigenerational center and, in keeping with the size of the race, small. I considered picking up a "26.2" sticker but decided I should wait on that till after I'd actually earned it. Since it was a smaller race & expo there was more of an atmosphere for people to stand around an chat than at the PFChang's, and I talked to several locals and some people who'd flown in from out of state. Afterwards I cantinued on to the Gold Canyon Golf Resort, where I'd reserved a "casita". I was a pretty nice place, with a waist-high room divider between the bed & TV area that was perfect for laying out my race clothing and condiments, in order of application, for the morning. The all-you-can-eat pasta buffet was only a few hundred yards walk. I chatted with a few more people there, including one guy doing his hundredth marathon, and a couple from Canada working on the 50 States (because the 8 Provinces is apparently not that impressive), then back to my room for an early night.
Unfortunately I got got bugger-all sleep for a variety of reasons. The pillows were those hard overstuffed kind (I ditched them eventually), the heating system was loud and kept going on and off all night because of the weather, and oh yeah, I had nerves. About every two hours I woke up from a dream where I'd slept through my alarm. So around 4:00 I got up, which gave me plenty of time to dress and have a leisurely Weatbix breakfast before trotting down to the bus at the lobby.
And it was a little yellow school bus, with the kids' names still taped above the seats. Soon a busload of excited, chatty racers chugged off into the misty morning, down 7 miles of rolling forest road to Don's Camp at the foot of the Superstitions. Little duralog fires provided warmth against the chill and a place to swap stories. The moon appeared briefly from behind the clouds. "Remember, if anyone finds the lost gold, we all split it!" one guy said. The sun was starting to rise as we herded ourselves to the start line.
This was a gun start with chip timing, the chips being the new kind attached to your bib. The course starts from Peralta trailhead in the Supersition Wilderness Area, and ends at Prospector Park in Apache Junction (for those of you following along on Google Earth). The first 7 miles were along the rolling dirt road we came in on, through stands of saguaro and cholla cactus, and dodging the occasional puddle in the washes. The Supes wore a misty cloud hat all day. The temps were nice for running, cool and balmy. I was wearing my fair weather outfit with the addition of calf warmers and a windbreaker. I started out a little fast, holding a 10:00 pace, but figured that was OK as this section was net downhill and I could slow down when we levelled out if needed.
Short 1-mile interlude on Highway 60, which had one lane coned off. The highway stretches were pretty desolate, in part because when you're not whizzing by in a car you can see how beat up the road is - one guy running on the shoulder tripped over the buckled asphalt - he was fine, got up and dusted himeself off and I talked to him later.
Right after mile 8 we leave the highway and head into the Gold Canyon area. Lots of nice houses here, more views of the Supes and "Dinosaur Mountain", and southwestern architecture like the Methodist church styled like a Spanish mission. This is where we started seeing the local community groups manning the aid stations - the red hat ladies cheered my rainbow sox! This section of the course was a loop that gradually climbed and went downhill again, and here is where I started having problems with my knee, around mile 12. I've narrowed it down to my right LCL. It's not so much painful, though it does hurt, but what happens is my foot hits the ground and my knee gives out a little and I have to catch myself, and my foot feels like it's flopping around for a second. Walking didn't make it hurt any less, so I kept running, even though it was a slow and limping run, down the hill and back out to Hwy 60 at the 15 mile mark.
I should mention that the weather had been variable all morning. Gloves on and off, windbreaker flapping open and zipped, and the sky increasingly threatening rain. There was a little over a mile of straightaway here and it was the longest distance of my life. Despite a recently-eaten Krispey Kreme, and people in their cars yelling "Go rainbow sox!" and "You can do it!" I was thoroughly angry and frustrated. I wasn't tired, I certainly wasn't breathing hard, but I was basically dragging my gimpy right leg behind me and being passed by the first of the walkers. At that point I was crying and whining to the air "I'm going to finish this @#*$&^ marathon!"
This is where it gets weird. Shortly after 16 miles we leave the highway for the last time and turn into a residential area, where I get two Advil and use a somewhat precarious partaloo. I try to run on the dirt shoulder as much as possible. Sometime over the next couple miles my knee recovers and give me barely a few twinges for the rest of the race. By the time I reach the infamous Hill at Mile 19 - actually a gentle uphill slope - I'm feeling quite chipper and cracking jokes with the volunteers. Another racer and I exchange encouraging words as I pass; he says "Way to pick it up at the end" - and it's true - I'm passing people now, and keep it up till the finish!
AJ has a history of eccentrics, and it's refelcted in the yards & houses I pass. This is where I find the rooftop Canada goose statue that the race video told me to look for!
There are two more straightaways to go. The wind has been blowy for a while, and now it's starting to rain off and on. We few, we tired, we back of the packers trudge on. A glance at my watch tells me I still have a good chance of crossing the finish between 12 and 1, the window I forecast - not that I expect anyone I know to be there, the way the weather's shaping up. The final straightaway is 2 miles, piece of cake, but what's this? A hill up to the overpass to get to the park? I object, and walk that bit. I pick it up on the final approach though, passing an exhausted-looking couple with "Come on! You can shave 2 seconds off your time!" I is raining in earnest now.
I cross the finish line at 5:29:50, and why is that nice volunteer with the umbrella smiling at me? OMG one of my friends did show up!
It's a good thing he was there, because my brain was shot. He helped me pick up my bag and find the food, including the best breakfast burrito I have ever eaten in my whole life. The park was deserted except for the volunteers and finishers crammed under two ramadas. The volunteers from the aid stations were also starting to roll in. I was a little disappointed that I missed some of the photo ops - "The Wall" at mile 24 had blown over by the time I got there, and the prospector and his burro showed they had better sense than me when it comes to getting out of the rain - and my time could have been better if my knee hadn't had "issues". Overall though, I was pleased that I was able to tough it out and finish, and loved the course and the volunteers.
This was my 50th brithday present to myself, and I think I chose well. I got a ride back to the hotel, spent the afternoon stretched out on the couch with an ice pack between my knees, and had a big dinner. I still couldn't sleep for cr@p.
Next year I'm bringing my own pillow.

Not too long ago, Dudley Boyd, president and CEO of National Bankers Trust, entered a conference room at the Greater Memphis Chamber's office at the Falls Building Downtown.
The results of the second Memphis Economic Indicator, a new survey measuring general business sentiment jointly produced by The Daily News and Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP, reflect a modest overall improvement in optimism among business leaders compared to last quarter's survey results.
The Bluff City and the city of Liége in Belgium, this year's Memphis in May International Festival-honored country, are both growing hubs of biotech research and incubation.
And as part of the business exchange activities between Memphis and Belgium, representatives from Memphis' business, government and scientific community Thursday gathered at the Memphis Bioworks Conference Center, 20 Dudley St., to hear professor Joseph A. Martial of the University of Liége speak during a luncheon event.
Jeni Stephens Thompson has been named the new chairwoman of the MPACT Memphis board of directors. Thompson is the director of marketing and development for the Memphis Bioworks Foundation. She has a bachelor's degree in communications from Lambuth University and a master's degree in education from Vanderbilt University.

work out at home
Hi all,
I heard of people saying it is troublesome to go to gym to work out. Some may not be able to find the time or afford the gym membership. I would like to recommend 3 simple work-out at home exercises here which are very effective to help one build up muscles and keep fit. These exercises do not need any expensive equipment at all. Hope it help some of you start working out at home.
Squat with a Kick (lower body, abs, back, overall conditioning)
1: Start by standing with feet close together.
2: Keep arms up with elbows facing forward.
3: lower down into a squat as low as possible, keeping feet flat on floor.
4: As you stand back up, raise right knee up and extend to a kick.
5: Go back down into a squat when the right foot goes back down to floor.
6: Kick up with left leg, and then repeat on each side.
Inch Worms (Abs, back, hamstrings)
1: Begin in push-up position; perform a push-up, keeping stomach tight.
2: While keeping knees straight, raise hips and walk hands towards feet as fat as you can while keeping knees straight.
3: Walk hands back to starting position.
4: Repeat from the push-up.
Walkouts (Abs, back, legs, shoulders)
1: Start standing; bend over and place hands on floor.
2: Walk hands out until in the push-up position.
3: Walk hands back to standing position, and then repeat.
4: For a challenge, add a push-up at the end of each walk-out before returning to standing position.
Follow these 3 simple but effective routine without the need to use any gear or equipment at the comfort of home and start losing those calories fast.

Fullscreen transparent windowPosted Monday, 11 June, 2012 - 07:17 by abroekhuis in
Can anyone help me with this?
I've already figured out I need to set the WS_EX_LAYERED on the window, and using this with the TAO framework works. How can I do this with OpenTK?
I am using the GameWindow, and setting it the same way as with the TAO framework does not work.

Early Stage Venture Capitalist Brings Yuan to China's Start-Up Scene
Beijing-based Innovation Works, founded three years ago by former Google Inc executive Kai-Fu Lee, is testing out Chinese entrepreneurs' appetite for yuan funding.
The firm closed a small pool worth less than $100 million dollars in Chinese currency this February, Mickey Du, part of the firm's investment team, said. The fund had "some degree of government support," with contributions from a few high net worth individuals and companies in the internet space. Alongside this, Innovation Works raised $275 million for its second dollar-denominated fund from institutional investors in the U.S., U.K. and Hong Kong.
Some 90% of the companies in Innovation Works' portfolio have received funding in dollars, according to Mr. Du. But five of its portfolio companies that want to focus their business in China, have opted for funding in the Chinese currency, with the goal of a public listing on the mainland stock exchanges, he said.
Among them is AppChina.com or Yingyonghui, which wrapped up Series A funding earlier this year. Innovation Works has bet over $3 million dollars worth of yuan so far in the firm, which provides Chinese users a mobile database to download Android apps, according to Mr. Du. Unlike in the U.S., Chinese users with Android phones have pre-installed application stores from third parties on their devices, instead of Google's official Android market, after Google withdrew its mainland China search site in 2010.
While Chinese entrepreneurs who aren't planning to expand their businesses overseas may prefer yuan funding, Innovation Works doesn't plan to expand its yuan fund in the next five years. That's because the majority of companies, especially with the Internet and consumer sectors, will continue to look to towards listing on the Nasdaq, despite negative sentiment towards Chinese stocks, added Mr. Du.
"Accounting scandals were certainly prevalent in the 1990′s, but there is much greater scrutiny today, which has lead to a drastic decrease in the frequency of such cases," he said. "I think the continued outperformance of many star Chinese stocks (such as) Tencent, Baidu, Qihoo and etc. will help to over time alleviate this stigma."
In China, companies still face uncertainty as to how long it takes to get listing approval from regulators, and they must show three consecutive years of profit before even applying for an IPO listing, he added. Therefore, Innovation Works will still invest overwhelming with dollars, in preparation to for an eventual listing abroad of their portfolio companies.
As for other differences of approach in the Chinese versus U.S. market, Mr. Du says that start-up businesses in China need far more financial and legal guidance, as well as help with talent recruiting, improving the user experience of their products and managing public relations with the government. By contrast, he says Western entrepreneurs in places like Silicon Valley are looking for more help with sales and business development, on top of recruiting.

Virtual Ride
Overview1:44 average time for 5.9 miles. Details
Don't confuse this with the old jeep road that goes by the same name. This trail is mostly singletrack and slickrock and designed for intermediate mountain bikers.
This is a great introduction to Moab riding: the climbs are very gentle, the copious slickrock is smooth and not as ledgy as most areas, and the sand traps are short and easy to walk.
DescriptionStart at the enormous parking lot ringed with red boulders (there is camping here, but there are better spots on the nearby roads). Follow the main dirt road south (the same one you used to get here) just a short ways and you will come to an intersection with signs indicating "Mill Road" and "Dino Trail" to the right. You will exit this way, so for now, stay left on the main road.
In another tenth of a mile, you'll come to a sign saying "Halfway Stage Station" to the right. Take this right turn on a very sandy, smaller road. You might have to walk it 50 yards. You are now at the historic Halfway Stage House, and the beginning of the singletrack, through a gate straight ahead.
The singletrack starts with a few short sandy spots but quickly changes to slickrock. You climb very gently up remarkably smooth slickrock following white painted markers. Once you reach the end of the enormous bluff you have been hugging to the right, there is a shortcut trail branching to the right. This cuts off the most fun slickrock, so the shortcut not recommended.
Continue riding an enormous expanse of easy slickrock around another huge bluff, and eventually turn back north. You now begin a gradual descent of the mellow slickrock and you can go quite fast. It's very smooth with no surprises, but rock is harder than dirt, so watch it.
The slickrock ends where you intersect with an old jeep road that is also called Monitor Merrimac. Go right and you're soon back on singletrack following a stream bed wash. After a mile or so, you pop out at the end of a road and parking area.
Put down your bike for a minute and take the 150 yard, signposted Dinosaur trail. There really are purple-ish dinosaur fossils and petrified wood (including a cool 2 foot diameter tree trunk!) that you can even touch.
Hop back on your bike for the dirt road ride back to the parking lot, a couple tenths of a mile away.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being
by Milan Kundera
The Unbearable Lightness of Being Part 5, Chapter 16 Summary
- Several days later, Tomas posits that somewhere out in space, there is a planet where everyone gets to be born again. They will retain all the information about their first life, and get to try again. Then there is another planet, where they get to try the third time. And so on. This is Tomas's vision of eternal return (5.16.4).
- Now, says the narrator, we have real definitions of pessimism and optimism.
- An optimist is a person who thinks that on planet number five, the history of mankind will be less bloody. A pessimist is someone who thinks otherwise.

This one's a bit creepy, but fascinating too. 'LivesOn' is a new Twitter app, designed to tweet for you after you pass away. (Nice one, Darren)
Launching in March, the service uses Twitter bots powered by algorithms that analyse your online behaviour and learn how you speak. The app can then continues to scout the internet once you've passed away, favouriting tweets and posting the sort of links you like – creating a personal digital afterlife. As the tagline explains: "When your heart stops beating, you'll keep tweeting."
Dave Bedwood, creative partner of Lean Mean Fighting Machine, the London-based ad agency that is developing it, told the Guardian: "It divides people on a gut level, before you even get to the philosophical and ethical arguments," says
"It offends some, and delights others. Imagine if people started to see it as a legitimate but small way to live on. Cryogenics costs a fortune; this is free and I'd bet it will work better than a frozen head."

Rehabilitation Counselor
Typical Day
Felicia Facilitator pours her third cup of coffee, grabs a laptop bag crammed full of client folders, and tears out the door at an Olympic sprinter's pace. Who in their right mind would schedule a staff meeting at 8am on a Friday morning? Answer: Felicia's agency director, a clueless woman oblivious to the fact that the entire staff has been playing catch-up all week. No one has finished their weekly reports yet; that's what Fridays are for. Besides, the weekend is almost here, and Felicia desperately needs some time to decompress.
Unfortunately, Felicia's not going to get that time right now. She slides into her chair just as Carrie, her agency director, begins to speak. Carrie soon discovers her rehabilitation counselors have great photographic memories. Each staffer can rattle off their clients' treatment plans and provide progress reports while barely glancing at their hastily scribbled notes. Few of those notes, however, have been entered into the computer-based treatment log. Carrie painstakingly reads the agency policy about maintaining good client documentation to her yawning counselors, who keep sneaking looks at their watches when they think she's not looking.
Finally, the excruciating meeting is over, which creates an obvious sense of relief for everyone but Carrie. Felicia could give a rat's patootie about the meetings, documentation requirements, and other regulations made up by bored, over-caffeinated government workers sitting in policy meetings. Felicia just wants to help her clients. Looking at her day planner, she realizes today's schedule is crammed full of appointments, and she'll probably have to squeeze in a few more calls and emails.
First, Felicia reviews her voicemail messages. One of her rehab clients, an elderly woman making significant progress after a stroke, has suffered another fall at her nursing home facility. This means Felicia must get an update from the woman's medical team, talk with the facility's nursing manager, and determine when the woman can progress with her rehab program.
Next, Felicia meets with a young auto accident victim who required a partial leg amputation following her traumatic injuries. Although the young woman is progressing physically in the hospital, she is experiencing severe emotional turmoil when she confronts the reality of life after she is discharged. Felicia has arranged for two of her former clients to accompany her to the hospital. Both companions have also had leg amputations, but have recovered to resume their athletic lifestyles and careers. Felicia listens closely as the two visitors, an energetic man and woman in their 20s, speak with heartfelt sincerity to the young woman.
Now it's time for lunch, or more accurately, a fast-food sandwich Felicia gobbles down while she types away on her computer. She tries frantically to finish her treatment log so she won't have to work over the weekend again. No such luck—now it's time for her next appointment. Felicia has visited this employer before, and he's receptive to hiring three of her physically disabled but computer-skilled clients. The meeting goes well, and Felicia sets a tentative hire date for the new employees. Returning to her office, she excitedly calls them with the good news.
Felicia's Friday is winding down, but she still has one more client and a group counseling session. Josh, a veteran in his early 40s who has just returned from a long deployment overseas, may be exhibiting symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Since Josh has recently retired and moved back to his home town, receiving treatment on base is not an option. Because Felicia can't diagnose Josh's symptoms herself, she arranges for an appointment with a psychologist with PTSD treatment experience. She also assembles a list of resources that may help Josh readjust to civilian life. Finally, Felicia asks if Josh's family includes a dog; he says no. Felicia feels the steady, unconditional love given by a canine companion will help Josh with his recovery. He agrees to consider the possibility, although he wants to wait a few weeks before Felicia takes him to a local animal shelter.
Felicia can just taste the weekend, but it's tantalizingly out of reach for one more hour. She is about to host a group counseling session for substance abusers who have been clean for at least a year. These clients now want to re-enter the workforce and resume productive lives without their abusive substance of choice. Felicia is not responsible for the clients' recovery; the clients and their 12-Step program sponsors must keep that on track. She does, however, help them along the path to employment and independent living by providing an environment that encourages rather than denigrates them.
Finally, Felicia's weekend is here! She still has to complete this week's treatment log by Monday morning, but fortunately she can do that from her home computer. Tonight, she's going to put her feet on the coffee table and watch a couple of trashy reality shows. Come Monday, Felicia gets to do it all again.

Also, Gary Van Wieringen (RSA) and Ross Williams (HAW) are Awarded Silver and Bronze Medals in the Masters Division of the 2011 ISA World Masters Surfing Championship
ISA Headquarters, La Jolla, California, August 19, 2013- The International Surfing Association (ISA) announced today that as a result of a positive drug test by Gold Medalist Mark Richardson (AUS), Puerto Rico's Carlos Cabrero has been awarded the Gold Medal in the Masters Division (over 35 years old) of the 2011 El Salvador ISA World Masters Surfing Championship. This competition was held at the famous right-hand point break, Punta Roca, La Libertad from October 16-23, 2011.
With maneuvers like this at El Salvador's famous right-hand point break, Punta Roca, Carlos Cabrero is the new Gold Medalist of the 2011 ISA World Masters Surfing Championship.
The ISA also awarded Gary Van Wieringen (RSA) the Silver Medal, who moved from 3rd to 2nd and Ross Williams (HAW) the Bronze Medal, who moved from 4th to 3rd, leaving the 4th place, Copper Medal position vacant.
The ISA is a signatory of the WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) Code and, as a result, is required to conduct drug tests at all ISA World Championships. Richardson tested positive for Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), exceeding the maximum level under the Wada Code in force at that time. Following a lengthy review process, Richardson lost his Gold Medal, team points and received a three-month sanction, which has been completed.
Puerto Rico's Carlos Cabrero is the new Gold Medalist of the 2011 ISA World Masters Surfing Championship in El Salvador.
"The ISA has been conducting drug tests at every ISA World Championship since 1992. Since then, the ISA has conducted over 600 drug tests, including to all finalists at all our World Championships, and this is the first Gold Medalist who has tested positive," remarked ISA President Fernando Aguerre.

Ko Samui is so big, we've split it up into areas, select one of the below for detailed accommodation and food listings in that area. Sights and general overviews for Ko Samui as a whole can be found via the icons above. Don't know where to start? Read an overview of Ko Samui's different areas.
Viewing Ko Samui from the sea offers quite a different perspective from traipsing around the island on foot. We recently did a trip around the island, in a clockwise direction, starting from Fisherman's Village, where old Chinese shophouses are neighbour to modern apartments, and boutique hotels are interspersed with beach bars.
Travelling east, we passed Bophut Beach, where five-star hotels such as Zazen share the beach with backpacker spots including Chalee.
Passing Bang Rak and Plai Laem, we approached Samrong Bay, at the northeastern tip of Samui — a small protected cove only frequented by locals in the know, and guests from the few resorts in the bay. On the upmarket side, one will find Melati, and next door on the point between Samrong Bay and Thongson Bay is a backpacker gem, Thongson Bay Bungalows.
Heading south, we approached family-friendly Choeng Mon beach, ideal for swimming. This beach is by no means secluded, but far from the crazy crowds at Chaweng further south. Here you'll find a few non-pushy vendors available to quench a thirst or satisfy a hunger as you while away a day on the sands.
South of Choeng Mon is Samui's largest and most popular beach — Chaweng. Arriving early morning it's easy to see why this beach gained popularity first on the island. But these days the beach is home to loud bars, opportunistic jetski operators, franchise fast food outlets and just too much of everything really. To appreciate Chaweng, arrive early morning when the party crowd is still sleeping off a hangover.
South of Chaweng, and before entering Lamai, are several small bays and coves offering probably the best snorkelling available on Samui without venturing out by boat. These include Chaweng Noi, Coral Cove and Crystal Bay, also known as Silver Beach. Large boulders protect these bays, and the local fishing boats can often be seen here when waiting out a storm.
Along this stretch is a small, private beach that is home to the exclusive Banyan Tree Hotel. Lamai itself offers pretty much everything that its big sister Chaweng does, but at cheaper prices and on a smaller scale; hence its popularity with backpackers. It does however, have a seedy element in the way of sleazy bars and dodgy massage parlours on most street corners.
Leaving Lamai and heading west, we next passed Hua Thanon, home to a Muslim fishing village, as well as the "rude rocks", Hin Ta and Hin Yai – huge rocks shaped like male and female body parts. Tong Krut houses a longtail boat harbour, which offers snorkelling tours to two small islands just offshore: Ko Tan, inhabited by about 20 people and home to one small bungalow resort, and Ko Matsum, with a long white beach popular with picnicking locals.
Starting to head north again, we zig-zagged through the Five Islands. These islands are home to swifts, known for their famous nests which are the main ingredient in birds' nest soup. The birds are protected as their nests sell for thousands of US dollars. Sea Gypsies are the only human inhabitants of the Five Islands, their small wooden homes perched on rocky outcrops. The gypsies are employed to guard the nests from poachers trying to get their hands on this strangely precious commodity.
Along Samui's west coast, we sailed beside the cruise liner, Dawn Princess, bigger than some of the islands we had just passed.
Passing Samui's capital of Nathon, we entered heavy ferry traffic, passing both Seatran and Raja ferries. The Seatran pier is in Nathon, and the Raja is in Lipa Noi — both take car and passenger ferries to the mainland port of Donsak. Here a Raja ferry, with a belly full of cars, trucks and passengers, is about to dock at Lipa Noi.
Heading back along Samui's northern shores, we had views of Bang Po and Mae Nam as well as to neighbouring Ko Pha Ngan.
Shortly before arriving back in Fisherman's Village at sunset, we passed a colourful fishing boat, a reminder that these waters are not just for tourists, but support Samui's fishing industry too.

In the clip, the boys take on different personas. Band members Niall Horan and Louis Tomilinson play pretentious Hollywood executives and Zayn Malik acts as their female assistant. Harry Styles has a career as a marketer while Liam Payne is a lively choreographer named Leeroy.
The song is the lead single off the group's documentary "This Is Us," which comes to theaters on August 30. The movie shows the band members before they were famous, their time on U.K.'s X Factor and their current superstar status.
"It's not trying to make them anything they're not," the video's director Ben Winston told MTV on Monday. "And that's what's incredible about One Direction, I think, is that they are a boy band that break all the rules and always do what they want to do."

Bulk up with a diet thats high in fiber
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — Six months ago, Don Stahlhut of Oakland, Calif., went on a high-fiber diet per the suggestion of his nutritional coach. Stahlhut, 65, had a family history of heart failure and was taking three medications for high cholesterol.
He began scanning labels for fiber content. He switched from sugary cereal to corn bran, and sprinkled it with ground flax. And, when he woke up each day, he stirred two tablespoons of psyllium, a plant-derived form of soluble fiber found in bulk laxatives, into a glass of unsweetened juice.

FARMERSVILLE (October 29, 2013) FARMERSVILLE (October 29, 2013)--Gov. Rick Perry presented the state's highest military decoration posthumously Tuesday to World War II hero Audie Murphy, the Texas native who was among the most decorated war heroes in U.S. history.
Perry bestowed the Texas Legislative Medal of Honor on Murphy posthumously Tuesday in Farmersville, saying that Murphy "lives on in the hearts and memories of a generation of Americans."
Murphy, whose portrait hangs in the Texas House chamber, was born in Hunt County.
He joined the U.S. Army in 1942 and served with the 3rd Infantry Division in Europe and Mediterranean, earning more than two-dozen medals including the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, two Silver Stars, the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Stars and three Purple Hearts.
He was also decorated by France and Belgium.
"He personifies the traits that led America to victory in the Second World War and on other battlefields around the globe. Audie Murphy remains a shining example for anyone who believes in the importance of service, for generations now and into the future," Perry said.
Murphy went on to a film acting career.
He died in a plane crash in Virginia in 1971 at the age of 46.

Doctor Who: has the next Doctor been chosen?
A breaking rumour has identified the man who may be replacing David Tennant in 2011.
A major rumour is emerging about the future of Doctor Who, and more specifically who will be replacing David Tennant in the Tardis.
With Tenant – as we reported earlier this week – likely to stick around now until 2010's fifth series, it seems that a change will be taking place in time for 2011's series 6.
And the name that's now circulating as the next occupier of the famous blue box?
Paterson Joseph.
Joseph has already appeared in Doctor Who before, in the season one concluding two-parter Bad Wolf/Parting of the WAys (he played Roderick). He's also appeared in Peep Show and Green Wing, and most significantly of all, Jekyll.
Jekyll, of course, was the last programme to be overseen by a certain Mr Steven Moffat, who takes up the reigns on Doctor Who from its fifth season onwards.
This information has been broken by the excellent, and reliable, Comic Book Resources site, and you can read their full story here.
Paterson Joseph's agent denies the rumour to us, claiming that this was the first they'd heard about it. "If Paterson had the part, it would have come through us, so I think that's a no..."

Plan Guides the City through 2020
Heritage. Community. Service. Opportunity. If you had to sum up who we are as a City, where we are headed and where we've been, these four words would be it. They also forge the new mission statement for the City of St. Charles as outlined in the 2015 update to its Strategic Plan. Review the Strategic Plan Summary Report.
For the next five years, all that we do as a City organization will be viewed through the lens of our city's heritage, community, service and opportunities. Our Guiding Principles remain the same: to operate with respect, engagement, a sense of community, accountability and excellence.
In October 2014, the City began the process of updating its 2008-2014 Strategic Plan which identifies a vision for the City's future. Working with Sikich LLP, input was gathered from nearly 200 community stakeholders, City staff and elected officials. This feedback helped shape the long- and short-term goals and priorities for the City. Information was collected from:
Data from the City's 2013 National Citizen's Survey
18 interviews with key community stakeholders and City leaders
8 focus groups with individuals from the community, business, schools and City
2 community workshops
"We received valuable feedback and appreciate the effort of all who participated in the strategic planning process," said City Administrator Mark Koenen. "The Strategic Plan serves as our North Star, helping us shape our community's future and navigate to our future successes."
The Strategic Plan was completed in November 2015. After moving through committee, it was officially approved by the City Council at its Feb. 1 meeting. Next step: Develop an action plan to accomplish goals identified in the plan.

This is the kind of book that has all the ingredients for a feast you want to eat.
Beautiful location?
Check. Doesn't get much better than Tuscany.
Intriguing premise?
Yup. A fancy-pants woman is checking her husband's golf shoe for size when a laminated photograph of his "other" family drops out.
But along the way to its destination -- which is both Italy and a place of peace for its career-minded, fortysomething heroine -- this narrative of overseas travel, marital unhappiness and bliss-seeking self-analysis falls flat.
It's like the cake, minus the baking soda. The result isn't good -- and in the end it just doesn't make sense.
Lily Turner, Lynch's heroine, is a career-consumed corporate executive whose big sorrow in life is that she is unable to have children with her husband, Daniel. Not only that, but an adoption the couple had arranged fell through, in a particularly cruel way. And all the time there's Lily's sister, who is fecund and home-sated to the point of caricature, hanging about.
We could forgive the cliche of Lily's characterization, perhaps, if she lifted off the page with sparkling dialogue or fascinating inner drama. But she doesn't. We are reminded of her baby sorrow on every page; indeed, we aren't given a chance to forget it, and neither is Lily.
After she discovers that Daniel, a wine importer, has a second family salted away in the hills of Tuscany, Lily decides to fly over there to surprise him. She does make the trip, but then changes her mind when she becomes entranced by the Italian countryside and its people.
There's Alessandro, the handsome and wealthy widower who owns a Tuscan villa and who lies flat as wallpaper on the page. (It's hard to regret a potential suitor when one was never made to like him in the first place.)
There's a mysterious child that Lily connects with in powerful ways.
And then there's a group of women that function as the novel's saving grace -- a group of elderly widows called the Secret League of Widowed Darners. While they sew and gossip, these harmless-looking ladies try to brew romance for the population of their town.
The old ladies become, by midway through the novel, pretty much the only reason to finish it. Lily, with her sad lot, we get tired of. Daniel never interested us to begin with.
But vixenish 90-year-olds with needles and thread?
Now that's an image you don't come across too often.
