Strauss knew time was right
Keep tabs on the England team - click here for all the breaking news from the camp, exclusive interviews, match reports and much more
Andrew Strauss did not want to 'outstay his welcome' in the Test team he explained, having announced his retirement from professional cricket at Lord's today.
The 35-year-old opening batsman, who won 100 Test caps, has been a regular in that side since his debut in 2004 and, having had a brief taste of the captaincy in 2006 and 2007, led in the five-day form since the beginning of 2009.
He was also one-day international skipper from the start of 2009 to the end of last year's World Cup, having performed the role for part of 2006. He played in 127 ODIs and four Twenty20 internationals.
Having led England to back-to-back Ashes wins, Strauss oversaw their progress to the top of the Test rankings with a 4-0 whitewash of India a year ago. He won 24 of his 50 Tests in charge.
England's time at the top was hard, winning three Tests and losing six, and the recent 2-0 defeat to South Africa saw the Proteas take over at number one. It also confirmed to Strauss it was time for change - with Alastair Cook succeeding him.
"I'm very conscious that at the end of the South Africa series, with us losing the number-one ranking, it's time for the side to refresh and have a little think about how best to retain (sic) that number-one ranking and this is a great way for us to be able to do that," Middlesex's Strauss, who made his senior county bow in 1997, said.
"Alastair is going to come in and instil a huge amount of energy. I'm sure he's rightly excited to be taking on this challenge and that's going to motivate people and push them forward.
"If people think I still should be part of the side, that kind of validates my decision to go in a lot of ways because I would have hated to outstay my welcome."
Strauss admitted he had been thinking about retirement prior to the three-Test rubber with South Africa, although he had given no indication of this until today.
"It just one of these decisions that you just know in your heart how you're feeling about things when the time is up and I knew that probably before the South Africa series started, to be honest with you, and certainly by the end of the series I was certainly very clear in my mind that it was the time," he added.
"I first spoke to Andy (Flower) about this a few weeks ago and said I'm considering it and would talk to him at end of the series. By the time I spoke to him again my mind was made up and I think he knew that."
Strauss conceded his decision was partly motivated by his batting form. Until he hit two hundreds versus West Indies in May, he had not reached three figures in a Test since November 2010.
However, he retires with 21 centuries among 7,037 Test runs at an average of 40.91. He also made six ODI tons en route to 4,205 runs at 35.63.
"It's a very tough decision. For me the driver to it all quite frankly was my form with the bat. In truth I haven't batted well enough for a long time now," he said.
"I think for a captain to perform his role properly, it's important you're not a passenger in the side, but also that people aren't speculating as to whether you should be in the side or not. I think that would have been too big a distraction to the side going forward."
Strauss had some words of wisdom for Cook, who filled in for him as captain during two Tests with Bangladesh in early 2010, sitting to his left at the press conference.
"My advice to Alastair is really savour and enjoy the challenge of captaining your country," he said. "You're very fortunate to be given the opportunity to do so.
"Throw yourself into it with everything you've got. Manage your time carefully because it is all-encompassing at times, and have no regrets.
"I've got every confidence that's what Alastair will do and I'm absolutely certain, the type of person he is, the type of bloke he is, he's going to do a great job."
Asked about his next step, Strauss replied: "That's always a difficult question to answer; I've got some ideas, some things I'd like to get involved in.
"I think long-term I'd like to have some more challenges ahead of me in whatever it is I do, but I'm going to take a bit of time to think about what exactly that means and what that might be.
"And while I'm taking that time I'm looking forward to spending some time with my family and probably getting my golf handicap down a bit as well.
"I would love to stay involved in the game. I'm hugely passionate about the game. I feel like I've got more to offer the game at some stage in the future but in what capacity I've got no idea."

Tour de Fleece Day 10 - Day of Rest?
Of course, while Sugar was otherwise occupied, Grumpy and I were able to spend some photo time with Rex. His Suri locks are so beautiful and the luster is unbelievable. He thinks he's a race horse. I've never seen a cria run sprints like Rex but then again, he is the only "spring" cria we have this year so he has to entertain himself somehow.
Since this is the "day of rest" for the Tour de Fleece, I also plan to finish knitting up the rest of my Confetti Reign Handspun for a special gift I've been working on. I started it while in the hospital last week and hope to finish it before Saturday. Fingers Crossed.
Finally, here is the results of this weekend's spinning. Not a lot done since we were breeding the Alpacas plus I was sorting but enough to make my yarn, Ode to Camelid. It has Suri Alpaca, Huacaya Alpaca and Camel. No Llama because I haven't met a Llama worth spinning yet (or at least blending with my Alpaca). Sorry, Llama peeps. I am thinking about plying some raw Suri locks into the yarn. I've seen too many raw lock yarns posted on FB this week and I've been inspired.
Tomorrow, I'll be back to kicking but on the Tour de Fleece but for today I'll be a Fiber Sorting Queen! Of course that's after I go to work this afternoon. Argh! Too many enjoyable responsibilities.
8 comments:
Rex's locks do look Wonderful! He's a beaut! Still contemplating a wheel. I tend to jump the gun so I'm really trying to wait until I learn more about spinning and until I can get behind several to try them out.ReplyDelete
Rex is a handsome little cria - he does have gorgeous locks!ReplyDelete
Good thing it's a day of rest - otherwise I'd have to feel guilty about not spinning (again) today.
I love the first pic of Rex.ReplyDelete
Your camelid yard is really interesting. Are the different colors the different camelids?
I stopped by a new to me fiber shop in Fort Collins, Your Daily Fiber. She had several different suri llama rovings that were amazingly soft. I was quite surprised.
Kathryn, Alpacas come in 22 different colors and between the Huacaya and the Suri I probably have at least half. You have white, beige, lt-med-drk fawn, lt-med-drk brown, lt-med-drk rose gray, lt-med-drk silver gray, modern gray, bay black and black. I hope I got them all. Then you have the Pintos, like my Buccaneer, who I based my logo on and Multi-Indefinates like my Confetti Reign.ReplyDelete
I've seen Suri Llama and it's beautiful but nowhere near as beautiful as the Suri Alpaca.
I meant there are 3 different colors of yarn on your bobbins and you mentioned there were 3 different camelids represented... so is one color suri alpaca, the second huacaya alapca and the third camel?ReplyDelete
I'm a dork and just realized it was you who asked. Yikes, sorry. I have the fawn colored camel underneath the few colors of Suri and afterwards I added beige huacaya which I ended up taking off the bobbin to use for my Art Yarn so I'll need to add it back on. I guess if I was a good girl I would have used natural colors but some of the suri has been dyed.ReplyDelete

McCain, Romney Unveil New Attack Ads
Susan Davis reports on the presidential race.
Sen. John McCain's campaign released a television ad today suggesting that Mitt Romney is nothing like Ronald Reagan, whose mantle the former Massachusetts governor sometimes lays claim to on the campaign trail. In turn, Romney released a Web ad suggesting that McCain is too close for conservatives' comfort to Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton.
McCain's national ad, entitled "Trust," opens with images of the Arizona senator speaking with then-President Reagan and creatively uses past clips of Romney separating himself from the Republican establishment and Reagan. "Mitt Romney was against Ronald Reagan before he was for him," the voice-over states, "If we can't trust Mitt Romney on Ronald Reagan, how can we trust him to lead America?"
Romney's campaign launched a Web ad, "Very Close," which aligns McCain to Clinton on issues like illegal immigration, opposing the Bush tax cuts, and the appointment of conservative judges. The ad also uses a recent clip from former President Bill Clinton in which he stated, "She and John McCain are very close." The voiceover concludes, "Don't we need a leader who agrees with conservatives?"
McCain and Romney are battling it out Tuesday in the 21 states holding Republican contests. The latest CNN/Opinion Research poll out today had McCain with a handy 44%-29% national lead over Romney, but the race between the two men is tighter in many states voting on Tuesday, including California.

Aliens may be living among us, but we do not know it because they are microbes that do not have the standard biochemistry of Earth-dwelling organisms.
As well as the many forms of life based on DNA that are known to science, the Earth may have been home to a second creation of organisms that make up an unremarked realm of "life as we don't know it", according to Paul Davies, of Arizona State University, a cosmologist and theorist of extraterrestrial life.
Such "weird life" would never have been identified by scientists because the techniques they use for studying microbes are based on the familiar biological processes that drive the living things we understand, Professor Davies told the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in Chicago.
The identification of such life on Earth could aid efforts to find life on Mars or elsewhere in the solar system. A second terrestrial creation would also indicate that life arises easily when the conditions are right, suggesting that it is common throughout the Universe.
The search for aliens should thus begin at home in a "mission to Earth", Professor Davies said.
"When I was a student in the 1960s, almost nobody believed there was any life beyond Earth. The prevailing view was that it was a statistically improbable freak accident, a chemical quirk that happened only once in the observable Universe and we are it. In the past few decades the pendulum has swung, and it's now quite fashionable to say the Universe is teeming with life. But the scientific facts haven't changed that much – we're still completely ignorant of whether life emerges pretty much automatically in Earth-like conditions, or whether it's just a fluke.
"The belief that life is widespread is based on the idea that it's easy to make in Earth-like conditions. There is a rather obvious way [of testing this], without even leaving our own planet. There's no planet more Earth-like than Earth itself, so if life does form readily in those conditions shouldn't it have formed many times over right here on our own planet?
"There's been no systematic search for life as we don't know it here on Earth. There's been plenty of thought given to weird life on Mars or Europa or elsewhere, but very little thought to what weird life on Earth might be like, how it might manifest itself."
He suggested several forms that weird life might take. Known life on Earth is based on five main elements – carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorous – but it is possible that organisms could use arsenic instead of phosphorous. Arsenic is poisonous because it so easily replaces phosphorous in our biochemistry.
Many of the molecules of life are also shaped in left- or right-handed fashion – the double helix of DNA is always a right-handed spiral – and this seems to have been determined randomly. A microbe that uses left-handed DNA could exist unrecognised.
Some microbes may also have a means of carrying genetic information and replicating themselves that is not based on DNA, or that has extra DNA "letters". These microbes could exist in extreme environments such as deep underground or in hot springs, or they could even live inside other organisms, including ourselves. "They might be right in front of our noses, or even in our noses," Professor Davies said.
"In the microbial realm some of those little organisms might have an alternative biochemistry that might represent a second or subsequent genesis event. We can imagine a series of stop-go experiments in which life was formed and annihilated again and again, and it's entirely possible that more than one form was left. Then there's the issue of whether it could have survived to today, and formed a sort of shadow biosphere of all things that are not like the life we know.
"We can make an educated guess as to what this alternative life might be. Almost all of the techniques that microbiologists use are customised for life as we know it. If you go out looking for A, you're not likely to find B, so it's no surprise that microbiologists haven't come across microorganisms that have radically different biochemistry."

The best racing I have ever saw was at a NASCAR road race at Infineon Raceway. The lead changed 19 times and watching the cars go 2 wide through the corners was amazing. I was never a big fan of NASCAR but that race turned me on to it. The ovals are boring but those road courses make F1 a joke. The problem with open wheel cars on road courses is that if they touch they break.... A close wheel car can get bumped around and still stay together. That makes the drivers so much more agressive and willing to take chances.Still love formula one though and can't wait for my visit to Monaco this year. But the party will probably surpass the race when it comes to excitement!

Madonna posted a picture of her 13-year-old son Rocco Ritchie holding a bottle of gin Saturday on Instagram, according to the New York Daily News.
"The party has just begun!" Madonna captioned the shot, which included two of Rocco's apparently underage friends holding bottles of vodka.
Note to self: Tear up kids' invites to birthday parties at Madonna's house.
According to E! News, the photo was taken in the Swiss Alps where the legal drinking age is 16. But, in her defense, Madonna probably never went to math class.
Of course, people immediately criticized Madonna on Instagram, prompting her to post another photo Sunday of Rocco's two friends not holding bottles of vodka.
"No one was drinking we were just having fun! Calm down and get a sense of humor!" she captioned the photo. "Don't start the year off with judgement (sic)!"
In her defense, Madonna probably never went to spelling class either.
Irony can be so ironic.

Gigabyte G1.Sniper 3 Review
Published: 18th June 2012 | Source: Gigabyte | Price: £335 |
Any review that we do, because of the nature of hardware testing, tends to be largely focussed upon the performance of the component in question. Maybe it comes with a nod towards the price and design, but this is a business that places a heavy emphasis on the final numbers above all else so, barring something exceptional, how much we enjoyed testing it doesn't often crop up. With the G1.Sniper 3 this focus upon performance is as large as ever, but we also need to draw your attention to the ease of our experience.
Starting with the design, and with such a clear theme as we've seen from the Sniper range it's a good place to start, it's all rather disappointing if we're honest. The packaging leads us to expect the same gun/rifle themed design as we've seen before, but the heatsinks are now exactly the same as we'd find on any other motherboard. It's gone from being a motherboard that was instantly recognisable, to a generic one that happens to be green. Maybe the difficulty of shipping something that looked like a gun around the world caused too many problems, but even still it's a shame that a design which was so very different, ends up looking so very similar.
However, this is the only disappointing thing about the whole package. The actual layout of the board is fantastic, with plentiful connection options, lots of fan headers, and a wealth of displays, probe points and the like. Everything is very clearly labelled and exactly where you'd expect it to be. It's a joy to work with. The 3D BIOS continues this trend of providing an exceptionally user-friendly experience. If you're new to BIOS tweaking the 3D display is clear and easy to follow, and yet if you want to tweak a near infinite array of things you can do that too. This is made even easier because the labels in the BIOS are clear and even if you don't know where to find a certain option you just need to read and be reassured that if you want Loadline Calibration, that's exactly what it will be called.
Performance is yet another box ticked. Overclocking the Sniper 3 was a breeze. There was no need to tweak a near-infinite array of settings to obtain a stable overclock, and my goodness was the overclock stable. The Sniper 3 didn't have any headroom manually adjusted and yet still could give us a 5GHz overclock, and a bulletproof 4.8GHz one. Not only were the overclock results excellent, but the stock results were streets ahead of anything we've seen so far. The only thing to always remember is auto settings can also mean its over volting areas far to much so for the extreme end of the spectrum its always safer to manually set as many volts as possible. If you don't know, get in the forums, ask and learn.
The only flies in the ointment are the slight one about the vanilla design, and more importantly the big price-tag. We're big fans of getting great value for money here at OC3D, and will always prefer a decent performance/price combination over a wallet-emptying sledgehammer, but the Sniper 3 is leagues ahead of the other Z77s we've tested.
To keep with the Sniper theme, it's an instakill headshot. A great looking motherboard, with fantastic performance, a true joy to actually use, more accessories than you could hope to utilise and a bombproof BIOS. It can be everything from a simple stock runner all the way up to a sub-zero overclocking beast and we love it. The Gigabyte G1.Sniper 3 is a bona fide, unquestionable, Gold award winner. Fantastic.
Thanks to Gigabyte for supplying the G1.Sniper 3 for review. Discuss in the OC3D forums.

Love this board, just wish it wasn't so damn expensive. With boards like the GD65 you have to ask if paying over double the price is worth it.
someone has to pay for the nextgen research, that'll be available this xmas Quote
Gigabyte have certainly done something right with this board.
A great review, Tom - looks as though I may have to devote more attention to the Sniper boards from now on.Quote
Looks like an amazing board but as the others have said, way out of my price range. I'm actually a fan of the fact they've not gone for gun shaped heatsinks etc. but that's prob just me
What a waste of I/O space. Gigabyte dun goofed.Quote
Someone please tell me why such an expensive board should have VGA (or even DVI, for that matter)?
What a waste of I/O space. Gigabyte dun goofed.
Mhm... And you're going to buy a board like this, but not buy a graphics card?
As Josh said though the onboard video would come into play if your GPU failed.
Just a thought, imagine how sexy this board would look with dual 690s *droolQuote
Ha, no but if said graphics card failed, not having on board video would really be annoying, as it would shut you down from your computer until you got a replacement.
And even if your primary monitor and GPU BOTH failed at the SAME time, I'm sure you've got one of those DVI to VGA things you could use, I've got at least three of them around the place.Quote
The chances of your primary monitor and GPU both failing at the same time are pretty slim. Gigabyte (or anyone) should not be catering for scenarios like this if it means wasting I/O space with an archaic connection.
And even if your primary monitor and GPU BOTH failed at the SAME time, I'm sure you've got one of those DVI to VGA things you could use, I've got at least three of them around the place.
actually i have had this happen in the past, albeit part and parcel of a lightning strike, but nonetheless, the fact remains that BOTH my monitor AND GPU were trashed in an instant and i would have welcomed this feature back then so don't suggest "IT CAN'T HAPPEN" as it clearly can
This should've been different with the WiFi module though, as a built-in module shouldn't have made the board so cramped.
Very value board in my opinion. 300 bucks for a board with so many features. It's essentially a thunderbolt port away from the P8Z77-V Premium from ASUS for 120 bucks less. Very fast board, good for HPC as far as I've used it, the 2 Gigabit LAN ports are great, temps are fine and overclocks great. Dual BIOS is cool but doesn't match ASUS's, power cosumption is terribly inefficient, and is sort of bloated for a board. Works well with my Gentoo Linux and Windows 7 and pretty much all of its software works on at least one of those OSes. Wish it had FireWire and eSATA in the back. Shame it was E-ATX, I was going to get it crammed into the CoolerMaster 430.
Board looks rather silly, and the color scheme is weird.Quote
and thanks... love the youtube vids, and hard work you put in to educate noobs like me!!!Quote
Hey TTL what temps were you seeing @ the 1.092v, 4.8GHz OC on air?
and thanks... love the youtube vids, and hard work you put in to educate noobs like me!!!
1.092v wasnt the vcore... And it wasnt me that wrote the review.Quote

Q&A on Benedict's bombshell
John Allen in Rome: The Vatican spokesperson answered questions about Benedict's resignation this morning -- but he certainly didn't have all the answers.
John Allen in Rome: The Vatican spokesperson answered questions about Benedict's resignation this morning -- but he certainly didn't have all the answers.
Regulated by ancient traditions and recent rules, the period between popes -- known by the Latin term "interregnum" -- will begin exactly at 8 p.m. Rome time Feb. 28.
Some leaders know which moments or decisions in their lives will lead all biographies of their lives. Winston Churchill knew that his leadership during World War II would be the central theme of all future historians looking at his life. John F. Kennedy understood that his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis would define his role in the history books: If he messed that up, nothing else would matter.
Opinion: Pope Benedict should bar Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony from the gathering that will elect the next pope because of his role in the sex abuse scandal.
Photos: Pope Benedict XVI was elected pope in April 2005. Here's a look back at the last eight years of his papacy.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. government is "grateful to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI for his leadership of and ministry to the world's 1.2 billion Catholics."
"He has been a man of action and principle, working to promote human rights and dignity in places around the globe where they are too often denied, and a voice of clarity and conviction about our obligations as stewards of a fragile planet," Kerry, himself a Catholic, said in a statement.
FutureChurch, a church reform group based in Ohio, congratulated Pope Benedict XVI in a statement Monday "for his wise decision to resign," saying "it takes courage to recognize when one no longer has the physical strength and health to fulfill the responsibilities of one of the world's most demanding jobs."
While the main group which advocates for the ordination of women to the Roman Catholic priesthood said it is "saddened" by news of Pope Benedict's deteriorating health, it also said the pope "used his power to take significant steps backwards for women."
Cardinal Roger Mahony, the retired archbishop of Los Angeles who was been publicly disgraced in past weeks over his handling of priests accused of sex abuse in the 1980s, has confirmed he will be voting to choose the next pope.
Writing in a statement posted to the Los Angeles archdiocese's website, Mahony recalls that he took place in the 2005 conclave that selected Pope Benedict.

Ochs holds the Ph.D. and B.A. from Yale University and the M.A. from the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. Ochs is an influential thinker whose interests include Jewish philosophy and theology, modern and postmodern philosophic theology, pragmatism, and semiotics. He is cofounder of the Society for Scriptural Reasoning, which seeks to bridge the gap between faith and reason in scriptural interpretation, and he is coauthor of Reasoning After Revelation, with Stephen Kepnes and Robert Gibbs. Ochs has a keen interest in interfaith dialogue, particularly among the Abrahamic faith traditions. He is coeditor of Christianity in Jewish Terms as well as The Jewish-Christian Schism Revisited, a collection of essays by John Howard Yoder. Along with Stanley Hauerwas, he is editor of the "Radical Traditions: Theology in a Postcritical Key" series. His current projects include Another Reformation: Postliberal Christianity and the Jews and Jewish Theology After the Shoah. Columbia Theological Seminary, located in Decatur, Georgia, was established in 1828 and is one of 10 theological institutions of the Presbyterian Church (USA). The Smyth lectures were established in 1911 by the bequest of the Rev. Thomas Smyth, pastor of Second Presbyterian Church, Charleston, SC. The aim of the bequest was to establish "a course of lectures on the fundamental principles of the Christian faith."

Skip to comments.Redskins to be re-named the Washington 'Reds'
Posted on 10/31/2013 8:09:10 AM PDT by MrChips
In a move certain to delight most of official Washington, D.C., it has been decided to change the name of the Washington Redskins football franchise to the Washington Reds. President Obama, himself, voiced his approval of the decision, as did Harry Reid, who was practically giddy upon hearing the news. The stadium will be painted red, in keeping with the new name, and its own name will be changed to Red Stadium. All players who play for the Reds, as well as all Red staff, Red cheerleaders, and Red coaches, will be asked to pay a 60% surtax on their exorbitant salaries and to divest of their pension plans entirely in order to share their wealth more equitably with all of the people of the District of Columbia. Any profit-sharing from games played by the Reds will be placed into the general coffers at Treasury Department and administered by Jack Lew.
Ticket prices are expected to rise, to cover the cost of painting the stadium red, but also because all seating in the stadium is expected to go for the same price in an effort to ensure equality and fairness, although one section of free seats on the 50-yard line is being reserved for members of Congress and select people who work for the Obama administration. There will, of course, be a presidential box with red seats. An account of the new pricing policy, some have expressed concern that the stadium might not fill up as easily on Sundays. However, the former owners of the Reds (now called Ministers) have announced that they are establishing an online marketplace where tickets can more easily be sold through exchanges. A Canadian company has been hired to take charge of the effort.
Nicely done...
And their new symbol will be the 5 pointed Red Star?
Ticket prices to "necessarily skyrocket".
Perfect name for commie central.
"Hail to the Reds"?
I thought the same thing...comrade.
And the stadium will be wrapped tightly in Red Tape to make sure fans have a very, very difficult time getting in.
"Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand."
They'll just play The Internationale, instead.
Well, there may no longer be a fight song. It would promote violence.
Makes sense to me.
And in the interest of "fairness" and "justness" the Reds will not be allowed to outscore other teams.
Why not just the "Red Curtain"
Almost. The goathead pentagram.
Stalin bobble-heads, win a free trip to the Gulag.
>>>Hey,the Steelers are known as The Steel Curtain...the Reds can be known as the Beltway Commies<<<
I think the "Steel Curtain" was the Steelers defensive line from the 1970s.
At any rate, why not call the Washington Reds D-line the "Iron Curtain"?
How apropos
I still like The All Blacks-like the NZ rugby team.
I thought they were going to drop the "Washington" part as being offensive.
i think they should just fold since they no longer have any skin in the game
Please, everyone, this is no joking matter.
They've always been at war with EastDallas...
"The Washington Reds Comrades"
What isn't? Changing the name of the Redskins? Or changing a free nation into a communist one?
"Theyve always been at war with EastDallas..."
You mean East Rutherford.
Lol. Much better pun. My salute to you!
More likely it will be the symbol of a crescent moon.
Best reading of the day!
Seeing as DC is controlled by the democRATS, an appropriate name would be the RATS.
You're welcome. We aim to please. :-)
Not bad!
That could work.
Might as well call them the Washington Pinkos.
Go Commissars!
With a giant post of Stalin overhead? . . . Or of Obama, perhaps.
It is a sad state of affairs when I read an article and can't be 100% certain that it is satire, until I read it a second time; such is the new America.
Players won't be traded — they will be purged.
Wonder where they will place the Hammer and Sickle emblem?
Sorry. But, you're right.
It will screw up sports best fight song.
No, they can change it to 'The East is Red'

AbstractHIV is a chronic viral infection affecting an estimated 34 million people worldwide. Current therapies employ the use of a cocktail of antiretroviral medications to reduce the spread and effects of HIV, however complete eradication from an individual currently remains unattainable. Viral latency and regulation of gene expression is a key consideration when developing effective treatments. While our understanding of these processes remains incomplete new developments suggest that non-coding RNA (ncRNA) mediated regulation may provide an avenue to controlling both viral expression and latency. Here we discuss the importance of known regulatory mechanisms and suggest directions for further study, in particular the use ncRNAs in controlling HIV expression.

Accounts From the South Tower
Published: May 26, 2002
Following are accounts from survivors of the attack on the World Trade Center's South Tower and the friends and relatives of the victims. Accounts from the North Tower can be found here .
Michael Egan , victim
AON Corporation
Portraits of Grief: Siblings and Close Friends
His sister also worked at AON. His wife, Anna, spoke with him briefly. This is her account:
Michael initially started evacuating, pushing his people into the elevators. My understanding is that they managed to get down to the 78th floor and then he was sent back up, along with 15 other people. At that point, Michael decided to go to the floor above in hopes that it was a bit more comfortable. He called at that point, and told me they were stuck on the 105th floor. There were 15 people lying on the floor, they couldn't breathe, it was unbearable. I asked him about his sister, Christine, and he said he had sent her out a while ago, but he didn't know if Christine made it out. They couldn't breath where he was. I was about to ask him who are the people with you, that's when we both saw it. We both said, ``Oh no, I love you darling.'' The line dropped and the building fell.
Interview by Jim Dwyer
Roko Camaj , victim
ABM Window Washing
Portraits of Grief: Working Atop the World
He made one phone call out at 9:14 a.m. from the 105th floor, according to Vinny Camaj, his son. Roko called his wife, Katrina. This is an account of that conversation:
He said, ``I'm on the 105th floor. There's at least 200 people here.'' He was waiting for the okay to go up or down. Before the second plane hit, they told him to stay where he was -- he had a walkie-talkie.
He had full access to the roof. Most likely, he was on the roof when the first plane hit because he was operating the rig (window-washing) that day. He probably heard the plane coming.
He said, ``I'm using a friend's phone.'' A cop's phone, or a Port Authority police officer's phone. He said it took over a half hour to get through because the cell phones weren't working, and then the line at home was busy with people calling to ask about my father.
My mom was very panicked, but he told her, ``Don't upset my kids, we're all in God's hands.''
He couldn't hear my mom anymore, but my mom heard him yelling, ``Close the door, close the door, don't let the smoke in.''
She was very happy to hear his voice. I called her right after they hung up. She said, ``I just spoke to Daddy, everything's okay.''
Interview by Jim Dwyer
Eric Eisenberg and Gary Herold , victims
AON Corporation
Portraits of Grief: The Troubleshooter
Portraits of Grief: Reserved but Loving
Marissa Panigrosso and Sarah Dechalus, both AON employees, worked with Eric Eisenberg and Gary Herold on the 98th floor of Tower 2. Their encounters with these men make clear the men lost their lives trying to assist others to safety, as Mr. Eisenberg rounded up other employees from the 98th floor and Mr. Herold apparently stood by the stairwell, both urging people to leave after a plane had hit the neighboring north tower. Ms. Panigrosso and Ms. Dechalus both lived, Mr. Eisenberg and Mr. Herold did not.
Marissa Panigrosso: The plane hits north tower. You heard a loud pop and then it kind of got you up from your desk. My desk was second from the window. It was very odd like the Fourth of July. There were papers that were singed. I would not go near the window. But you could feel the heat. It was just so so hot, I turned to look at the window and I felt the heat on my face. Like an oven door. That was instanteous. We all stood up, people started to scream. That is when Eric came over.
He said, ``Get away from the window. Everybody get away from the window.'' He said stay calm and go to the stairs. We will go down the stairs to the 78th. A lot of us did want to call family. Most people wanted to talk to someone they love. People got calls, too.
Eric was very take charge, like let's get moving here. He was the wake up voice. You were stunned. You either froze, or you were running around because you didn't know what was going on. I was not going to wait around. We were so high, you had to leave. We followed Eric. He went to the stairway. He started the train and then went back for other people. I started out walking with Sarah. I met up with Mary Jo Arrowsmith, she was hysterical, she was crying. We went out to 78th floor [where the express elevator is] and into elevator. They were all standing in the skylobby. They were talking. That is when they made the announcment. It said the building is secure, don't evacuate.
I didn't hear Gary Herold say anything. [while she was on the 98th floor] He was very, very concerned. He was standing at the door way at the stairwell. He had this lost look, like he knew something bad was going on.
Sarah Dechalus: Saw an explosion ball. It felt like something was coming at us. Someone yelled fire. It felt really hot coming toward us. I sat close to window that faced west. It was, for a moment, it was like it was trying to reach toward building two, but it did not quite make it. I ran toward the elevator. Then I thought, should I try to run back to my desk to get my bag? Some people said, ``I am going to get my bag.'' Some said, ``Don't go down the stairwell. This is kind of high.'' For some reason, I had a thought of Wesley Snipes in a hijacking. He was on a airplane, in that movie, ``Hijack.'' Why am I having this thought? I wondered. Eric passed me. ``Start going down the stairs,'' he said. He was going around. It was a huge floor. He was going around, to the other side. ``Be calm, don't run, We are going to get down safely.'' He was serious, he was concerned about others and making sure. He went completely around the floor to make sure everyone was getting out.

New school trustees take on rooting out waste
Two new San Diego school board members will lead a public committee to root out waste in the district's operations, they announced Thursday.
Scott Barnett and Kevin Beiser, who were elected to the San Diego Unified School District Board of Education in November, will head up the Operations and Efficiency Committee, which will be open to interested members of the community who want to help.
The budget shortfall for the next school year, 2011-12, is estimated to be around $120 million. Barnett, a budget analyst, said he hopes the effort will reveal around $50 million in savings in the next year to 18 months.
"Is this going to solve our budget this year? The answer is no," Barnett said at a news conference.
He said he hoped to uncover savings that can be applied annually, making things better in future years.
Beiser, a math teacher in the South Bay, said he wants the committee to bring more common sense to district operations.
"How can we do things better, how can we do things leaner," Beiser said. "We have a fiscal responsibility and duty to our children to provide them with services and a better education."
The committee will be broken down into what Barnett called "Tiger Teams" that will study the district's various functions and take input from employees and the public, and learn what works best in private corporations and other public agencies.
More information on the committee, including how to join, can be found at
, or by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

What is VANTAS?
VANTAS is a drug-delivery system that contains the medicine histrelin and is placed under the skin. It looks like a small, thin flexible tube. After it is placed under the skin, VANTAS delivers histrelin to your body continuously for 12 months. VANTAS may help relieve the symptoms of prostate cancer. VANTAS is not a cure for prostate cancer.
Who should not use VANTAS?
Do not use VANTAS if you:
- are allergic to the medicine histrelin or other medicines called GnRH agonists.
- are a woman. VANTAS has not been studied in women and is not for use in women. VANTAS can harm the unborn baby in a woman who is pregnant or may become pregnant. VANTAS may cause a pregnant woman to lose her baby (miscarriage) if used while pregnant.
Before using VANTAS, tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and non prescription medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements.
It is not known if VANTAS and other medicines can affect each other.
How is VANTAS used?
- VANTAS is placed under the skin of the inside of your upper arm. Your doctor will numb your arm, make a small cut (incision), and then place VANTAS under the skin. The cut will be closed with stitches and special surgical tape and covered with a bandage. Keep your arm clean and dry for 24 hours. Do not bathe or swim for 24 hours. Keep the bandage in place for a few days until the cut heals. Avoid heavy lifting and exercise for 7 days. Avoid bumping the site for a few days. Your doctor will give you complete instructions.
- After it is placed under the skin, VANTAS will give your body histrelin for 12 months. After 12 months, VANTAS must be removed. Your doctor may insert a new VANTAS at this time to continue your treatment.
- Your doctor will do blood tests to check on your response to treatment with VANTAS. For example, your doctor may check your prostate specific antigen (PSA) or testosterone levels.
What are the possible side effects of VANTAS?
VANTAS can cause an increase in testosterone during the first week after it is inserted. Your symptoms may get worse during the first few weeks of treatment. You may get new symptoms. Call your doctor right away if you:
- get new or worse bone pain
- get weakness or lose feeling in your legs
- have blood in your urine
- have trouble urinating or cannot urinate
VANTAS can cause a loss in bone mineral density. Low bone mineral density can lead to thinning of the bones (oesteoporosis).
The most common side effects of VANTAS are:
- hot flashes
- tiredness
- skin reactions at the implant insertion site
- testicles become smaller
- urination problems
- breasts become larger
- erectile dysfunction (impotence)
- constipation
You may have some pain at the insertion site during and after VANTAS is inserted and removed. You may get some bruising and redness at the site. These usually go away without treatment within 2 weeks. Call your doctor if you have unusual bleeding, redness or pain at the insertion site.
These are not all the side effects of VANTAS. For more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
What else do you need to know about VANTAS?
VANTAS can be expelled from your body through the original incision site. This occurs infrequently. You may actually notice the system being expelled, or rarely, the system may be expelled without your noticing it. If you believe VANTAS has been expelled from your body, call your doctor. Also, remember to see your doctor for routine checks on your condition to ensure that VANTAS is present and functioning in your body.
VANTAS may be difficult to feel under your skin. If VANTAS cannot be felt under your skin at the time for removal, your doctor may order special tests, such as ultrasound or CT scan, in order to locate it for removal.
General information about VANTAS
This leaflet summarizes the most important information about VANTAS. If you would like more information, talk with your doctor. You can ask your doctor or pharmacist for information about VANTAS that is written for health professionals.

Fourth of July?
It was our last day in the studio before the 4Th so we blew it up! David, Crofford, and myself had on matching patriotic shirts. We even had Mannequin With No Name ready for the holiday weekend. If David can get the clip from Daybreak it will be posted on our web and facebook pages. Listen to me. If it can be got David Bazzel will get. He is not one of the most powerful men in Arkansas for nothing!
Said Man of Power is on the lookout for a grill. Number one criteria......it's got to look cool! Knowing David he will buy one and spot a better one in a week and get it too. He got a little advise from Golfer John Daly.
The hits just kept coming. Joining us in the studio was Arkansas Times Magazine and Legendary political writer Max Brantley. Max got caught up in the fun and sang along with us to the theme to Gilligan's Island. Also from The Times, the fellow that wrote an article critiquing The Buzz Babe Bracket, Gerard Matthews. David forgave him for his writings because Mr. Matthews has a hot girlfriend. Isn't our Baz a thoughtful guy. It was the convo during a break that I found most intriguing.
Phillip Martin and Tim Jackson came in and we talked movies. And with movies goes food. Well, it wasn't popcorn but it was great. A new place called Thirst -N- Howl Bar and Grill brought the house down with their burgers and chicken sandwiches. Now you have figured out why we sang Gilligan's Island song. David kept the Eye of the Tiger and stayed away. His heart belongs to tuna fish and water these days.
Oh, I almost for got. Danny-Joe Crofford set the record of 'How many hot dogs can you put in your mouth' contest. 9 all at once. He was a good sport and wears the honor proudly.
(Q)Who is the only President to never stay in the White House?
(A)Of course George Washington. It wasn't done by the time he left office.
Thanks for listening and making The Buzz 103.7 your #1 station. Join The Show With No Name from 6a-10a Mon-Fri with Tommy Smith, David Bazzel, Danny-Joe Crofford and myself.

J Street Welcomes Presbyterian Decision to Stop Selling Anti-Zionist Publication
June 30th, 2014
Late last week, the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. announced that the study guide 'Zionism Unsettled' will no longer be sold on its website. This is welcome news.
Rather than promote an understanding of Zionism, as one would expect from a text purporting to be a study guide on the subject, the guide is an outright attack on the political movement for the establishment and support of a national home for the Jewish people within the land of Israel. It offensively intimates that Zionism is racist, pathological and the very root of the conflict.
The PC(USA) did the right thing dissociating itself from this publication and is now removing it from its website.
We disagree with the Church's recent resolution to divest funds from US corporations that do business with Israeli security services in the West Bank. We don't believe divestment will bring the parties together -- a necessary step to resolving this conflict. At the same time, in light of language by PC(USA) distancing itself from the Global BDS Movement, and the removal of 'Zionism Unsettled,' we believe the Church has made clear its intention to protest the occupation, not Israel.
We hope others in our community will note the change positively and that, despite our disagreement on divestment, our respective communities can find ways to work together toward the shared goals of peace and security for all people in the region.

Cheetah Brothers
Category: Nature
Photo and caption by Torger Totusek
It was amazing to hear that Cheetah Brothers stick together. This photo depics that clearly as they sit atop a hill watching for prey, and as you can tell, keeping one eye on us! We stayed long enough to watch them play, rest and scan the distance for their next meal. It was beautiful the way they blended into the tall Savanna grass. When they stood up it was obvious the are a very strong, fast animal.

As someone in the industry, here's what I would do. Call the manufacturer back and have them email you what class they ship it at and whether that is the true shipping clas (NMFC) or if its a FAK (contracted shipping class).
If their shipping class is for anyone to use, then use that as leverage against them for the re-class. Also the broker should file a re-class dispute with the carrier with evidence of the manufacturer showing what it should be.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

To tell the story of settlement schools in Appalachia is to tell the story of the young women who journeyed from Central Kentucky and New England to establish the schools and to teach the children.
Toward the end of the 19th century, a new emphasis on the education of women emerged in America. Many womens colleges were established during this era, especially in the Northeast, and began producing classes of well-trained young women. Energized by the Progressive Movement and anxious to make a contribution, these graduates still found themselves limited by societal notions of the proper roles of women. Many of them turned to social reform and teaching as acceptable ways to use their college educations. And some of them focused their attentions on the desperate need for teachers in Appalachia.
Lexington and the Bluegrass region were supportive of the reform movement. With the encouragement and financial support of the wealthy and influential Breckinridge family, who were at the forefront of the Progressive Movement in Kentucky, the Womens Christian Temperance Union, and the Kentucky Federation of Womens Clubs, many young, affluent women in the area showed themselves willing to give of themselves for the good of the reform movement. Believing they could make a difference in peoples lives, they were eager to share their knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm with the people of the mountains.
The leaders among the independent, strong-willed women who built and ran the settlement schools in Eastern Kentucky were Katherine Pettit, May Stone, Ethel de Long Zande, Elizabeth Watts, and Alice Lloyd. Pettit, who had attended Sayre Female Institute in Lexington, and Stone, a former Wellesley College student, both left well-to-do Bluegrass families to establish Hindman Settlement School in 1902 after running summer camps there for several years. The energetic Pettit later began Pine Mountain School in 1913 after local residents requested a school in that area. Stone remained at Hindman as principal until 1936.
Ethel de Long Zande, originally from New Jersey, was a Smith College graduate who went to Hindman Settlement School to teach in 1901 and stayed there until leaving to help Pettit found Pine Mountain. She would later become the Pine Mountain Settlement School administrator.
Massachusetts native Elizabeth Watts, strongly influenced by her Abbot Academy teachers to become part of the social reform movement, came to Hindman in 1909 for a planned one-year stay. She remained there for 47 years as a teacher and later as a school director.
The list of women leaders is not complete without Alice Spencer Geddes Lloyd, also from New England, legendary in her vision and determination to provide higher education opportunities in Eastern Kentucky. Lloyd founded Caney Creek School, which became Caney Junior College (officially chartered in 1922). The school was renamed Alice Lloyd College shortly after her death in 1962.
These middle- and upper-class women could have led genteel lives in more comfortable surroundings than they found in the mountains. Instead, they dedicated their lives to educationin an environment many in their social circles would have found uninviting.
Starting out with idealistic notions of educating the masses, they sometimes found culture shock and discouragement as they tackled the realities of illiteracy and unhealthy living conditions. Public education had so far failed the region, and these women were challenged to bring the people of Eastern Kentucky into the 20th century, while at the same time preserving all that was good in the culture of the area. They met the challenge and were able to generate a trust between themselves and their students. In return, local residents revered these women for their devotion to a cause and to a people.

A Day in the Park: The Allen David Broussard Catfish Creek Preserve
Published: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 10:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 10:16 p.m.
HAINES CITY | The Allen David Broussard Catfish Creek Preserve, a sprawling state park in Haines City, is named for a wildlife ecologist who died at age 29 of complications from Hodgkin's disease.
WHAT: Allen David Broussard Catfish Creek Preserve.
LOCATION: 4335 Firetower Road in Haines City.
HOURS: Open year round from 8 a.m. to sunset.
In 2011, the state named it among dozens of parks that could be temporarily closed as part of proposed budget reductions. But a state Department of Environmental Protection official said last month the park no longer faces closure.
The park at 4335 Firetower Road encompasses more than 8,000 acres of varied terrain: scrub land, sandhills and flatwoods. Sixty-five acres sit under water. Six miles of hiking trails and seven miles of horse-riding trails wind through the property.
The park is known as a wonderful place to see protected species in a natural habitat. Scrub jays, bald eagles, gopher tortoises and scrub lizards all call the area home, the state says. Rare plants like scrub morning glory, scrub plum, pygmy fringe tree and cutthroat grass take root there.
A backpacking site opened on the land this year, which drew a steady amount of visitors, said Debbie Mayfield, an administrative assistant at the park. The number of visitors has since tapered off.
In keeping with the natural surroundings, the backpacking site is spare. Amenities include a fire pit and picnic table. That's it. Reserving a spot costs $5 plus tax per person, per night.
Visitors should prepare for strenuous hiking -- some of the trails cross sandhills -- and bring plenty of water, Mayfield said. But don't let that dissuade you from visiting.
"It's very primitive," Mayfield said, "but very beautiful habitat."
To make a reservation, or find out more about the park, call its office at 863-696-1112.
