Mao didn't just start throwing Triple Axels, and she is certainly no Harding or Ito as far as that jump is concerned.
Mao didn't just start throwing Triple Axels, and she is certainly no Harding or Ito as far as that jump is concerned.
BTW, there *is* such a thing as jumping too high.
High jumps are much harder to control than low jumps. This is a big deal for combinations, and is why a lot of skaters will jump lower when they're putting a jump in combination than if they're doing it as a solo jump. For a combination you have to be even MORE in control of the landing of the first jump to get the second one off - especially if it's a 3-3 or 4-3 combo.
Being able to control power, speed, effort is important in skating. Things *can* be overcooked.
I agree with everyone else re: Adelina attempting a 4T. The biggest hurdle would be her mind. Her 3T is so massive already, once she gets the mechanics of the 4T down I think she'd be able to do it.
Doesn't it seem odd right after injury to attempt something so risky. She needs to improve her results and climb the world rankings first. This feels like the equivalent to going into a casino and putting everything on black and saying a prayer.
Then she can do 3L or 3F-2Lo and DA.
The BV will still be higher than a 3 Triple SP, and it will likely still score higher than her current setup as well due to how high a Quad + Fall can score in IJS due to the high BV of the jump.
I think people are blowing her "injury" way out of proportion :-) She did not break her leg in 3 places or something.
She should still be working on her skating skills. That should be part of the training regimen of any elite skater. There is *always* room to improve in all places, IMO.
Her spins can improve, as well.
As an athelete, unless you're constantly challenging yourself, things can get pretty darn boring. She may just be trying to keep herself motivated, if she really enjoys the challenge of attempting those hard jumps.
I know I have taken multi-week breaks because I was simply burnt out on working on "basics" because it got extremely boring. I even pulled out of competitions out of boredom and lack of motivation.
I'm just starting physical therapy myself from hitting my knee on the ice then the dasher boards Mine must be way worse because I was told four months before I would be nearing my ability to skate 100%. Mine was a bone bruise and strained MCL. She must be lucky because it looked like there was a cast on her in some of her Instagram photos. I'm just maybe being overly protective. I like Tukt quite a bit. She was the first Russian skater I felt drawn to.
I will also add that I have sprained both ankles and broken one and they actually are stronger now and susequently more flexible overall.
^ It's the no fun, not now, not ever rule!
There is such a thing as bad technique. I am not saying this applies to Tuktamysheva, I am saying that it exists and leads to many chronic injuries.
There is also such a thing as trying too hard. This also often leads to an inability to control a jump because you actually put yourself out of optimal position in the air by trying too hard on the takeoff. This will also lead to injury and inconsistency. As my coach often says "just let the blades do the work" when it comes to the jumps we are working on. I suspect Tuktamysheva has been going through this a bit as her body has changed from little girl to young woman in that she's trying to memorize how much effort is required for jumps when you aren't twig sized.
There is also the case of over training. This is what I believe has been the cause of many skaters' chronic injuries. Some coaches are better than others at working with their skaters to avoid over training/over use injuries. Mishin does not appear to be in the "better" category with regards to over training.
While Lipinski's jump technique was no where near as bad as Zhang, she did over torque her loop take offs and adding her "rotate first" technique to over training led to the end of her career. Her jumps were never big, she really relied on fast rotation (although, I will agree her jumps were bigger than Lipnitskaya's).
I would prefer for Liza to stay injury free rather than trying bigger jumps, but she at least has the technique base to try it (unlike some - yes, I'm looking at you, Lipnitskaya).
I am afraid even a lady lands a 4T in competition (unless other elements are also clean), the overall score would be higher. People would throw in the "circus" argument like when Siu/Han did a 2 footed 4throw,

Globalizing the Right-Wing: Conservative Activism and Transnational Politics
Clifford Bob
Duquesne University
March 2, 2007
Transnational activism by environmental, human rights, and other progressive groups has changed international policy and shaped global culture. Yet these movements do not act unopposed. Recently, powerful right-wing forces have also "gone global," though few scholars note this. This paper, part of a larger book project of the same name, proposes new theory on transnational conservative activism and its clashes with progressive groups. In addition, the paper presents a brief case study concerning the global conflict over gun control. Analyzing interlocking conflicts in national and international arenas, the article highlights the contending strategies of conservative and progressive forces as they promote their goals and undermine their foes. The result is a more complete and realistic understanding of transnational politics and an emergent "global civil society."

The Conquest of Nature (and What We've Lost)
Posted on Mar 13, 2013
By Lewis Lapham, TomDispatch
This essay will appear in "Animals," the Spring 2013 issue of Lapham's Quarterly. This slightly adapted version first appeared at
London housewife Barbara Carter won a "grant a wish" charity contest, and said she wanted to kiss and cuddle a lion. Wednesday night she was in a hospital in shock and with throat wounds. Mrs. Carter, forty-six, was taken to the lions' compound of the Safari Park at Bewdley Wednesday. As she bent forward to stroke the lioness, Suki, it pounced and dragged her to the ground. Wardens later said, "We seem to have made a bad error of judgment."
—British news bulletin, 1976
Having once made a similar error of judgment with an Australian koala, I know it to be the one the textbooks define as the failure to grasp the distinction between an animal as an agent of nature and an animal as a symbol of culture. The koala was supposed to be affectionate, comforting, and cute. Of this I was certain because it was the creature of my own invention that for two weeks in the spring of 1959 I'd been presenting to readers of the San Francisco Examiner prior to its release by the Australian government into the custody of the Fleishacker Zoo.
The Examiner was a Hearst newspaper, the features editor not a man to ignore a chance for sure-fire sentiment, my task that of the reporter assigned to provide the advance billing. Knowing little or nothing about animals other than what I'd read in children's books or seen in Walt Disney cartoons, I cribbed from the Encyclopedia Britannica (Phascolarctos cinereus, ash-colored fur, nocturnal, fond of eucalyptus leaves), but for the most part I relied on A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh, the tales of Brer Rabbit, and archival images of President Teddy Roosevelt, the namesake for whom the teddy bear had been created and stuffed, in 1903 by a toy manufacturer in Brooklyn.
Square, Site wide
Stouthearted, benevolent, and wise, the koala incoming from the Antipodes was the little friend of all the world, and on the day of its arrival at the airport, I was carrying roses wrapped in a cone of newsprint. The features editor had learned his trade in Hollywood in the 1940s, and he had in mind a camera shot of my enfolding a teddy bear in a warm and welcoming embrace. "Lost child found in the wilderness," he had said. "Lassie comes home." The koala didn't follow script. Annoyed by the flashbulbs, clawing furiously at my head and shoulders, it bloodied my shirt and tie, shredded the roses, urinated on my suit and shoes.
The unpleasantness didn't make the paper. The photograph was taken before the trouble began, and so the next morning in print, there we were, the koala and I, man and beast glad to see one another, the San Francisco Examiner's very own Christopher Robin framed in the glow of an A-list fairy tale with Brer Rabbit, Teddy Roosevelt, and Winnie-the-Pooh, all for one and one for all as once had been our common lot in Eden.
The Pantomime of Brutes
Rumors and reports of human relations with animals are the world's oldest news stories, headlined in the stars of the zodiac, posted on the walls of prehistoric caves, inscribed in the languages of Egyptian myth, Greek philosophy, Hindu religion, Christian art, our own DNA. Belonging within the circle of humankind's intimate acquaintance until somewhere toward the end of the nineteenth century, animals appeared as both agents of nature and symbols of culture. Constant albeit speechless companions, they supplied energies fit to be harnessed or roasted, but they also were believed to possess qualities inherent in human beings, subject to the close observation of the ways in which man and beast both resembled and differed from one another.
Unable to deliver lectures, the lion and the elephant taught by example; so did the turtle, the wolf, and the ant. Aesop's Fables, composed in the sixth century BC, accorded with the further researches of Aristotle, who, about 200 years later, in his History of Animals, set up the epistemological framework that for the next two millennia incorporated the presence of animals in the center ring of what became known as Western civilization:
"Just as we pointed out resemblances in the physical organs, so in a number of animals we observe gentleness or fierceness, mildness or cross temper, courage or timidity, fear or confidence, high spirits or low cunning… Other qualities in man are represented by analogous and not identical qualities; for instance, just as in man we find knowledge, wisdom, and sagacity, so in certain animals there exists some other natural potentiality akin to these."

Arm Fracture In Adults
What is an arm fracture?
An arm fracture is a crack or break in one or more of the bones in your arm.
What causes an arm fracture?
Osteoporosis (brittle bones) can increase your risk for a fracture. The following are the most common causes of arm fractures:
- Trauma: A direct hit to your arm can cause a fracture. Car and sports accidents are some examples of trauma that can cause an arm fracture.
- Fall: The pressure when you land on your hands after a fall may cause your arm bone to break.
- Stress fracture: This is a tiny fracture that happens when your arm muscles become tired from overuse. Stress fractures happen most often in athletes who do the same motion over and over.
What are the different types of arm fractures?
- Nondisplaced: The bone breaks but the pieces stay in place.
- Displaced: The bone breaks and the pieces move out of place.
- Open fracture: The broken bone breaks through your skin.
What are the signs and symptoms of an arm fracture?
- Arm and shoulder pain
- Swollen arm
- Abnormal arm position
- Severe pain when you move your arm
- Weakness or numbness in your arm
How is an arm fracture diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider will look for wounds on your arm. He will check to see if you have decreased feeling in your arm or hand. He will also check your arm movement. You may need any of the following tests:
- X-ray: An x-ray will show the type of fracture you have.
- CT scan: This test is also called a CAT scan. An x-ray and computer are used to take pictures of your arm. You may be given dye, also called contrast, before the test. Tell the healthcare provider if you are allergic to iodine or seafood. You may also be allergic to the contrast dye.
- MRI: This scan uses powerful magnets and a computer to take pictures of your arm. You may be given dye, also called contrast, before the test. Tell the healthcare provider if you are allergic to iodine or seafood. You may also be allergic to the contrast dye. Remove all jewelry, and tell healthcare providers if you have any metal in or on your body. Metal can cause serious injury. Tell healthcare providers if you cannot lie still or are anxious or afraid of closed spaces.
- Bone scan: This is a test to look at your arm bones. You are given a small amount of dye in an IV. Pictures are taken of your injured arm. The pictures will help healthcare providers see your arm fracture better.
How is an arm fracture treated?
Treatment will depend on what kind of fracture you have, and how bad it is. You may need any of the following:
- Brace, cast, or splint: A brace, cast, or splint will decrease your arm movement and hold the broken bones in place. They help decrease pain, and prevent further damage to your broken bones.
- Medicines:
- Pain medicine: You may be given medicine to take away or decrease pain. Do not wait until the pain is severe before you take your medicine.
- Antibiotics: This medicine will help fight or prevent an infection. Take your antibiotics until they are gone, even if you feel better.
- Physical therapy: A physical therapist can teach you exercises to help improve movement and decrease pain. Physical therapy can also help improve strength and decrease your risk for loss of function.
- Surgery: You may need debridement before your surgery if you have an open fracture. Debridement is when damaged tissue is removed and the wound is cleaned. Debridement helps prevent infection and improve healing. Your healthcare provider will use pins, screws, wires, or other materials to hold your bones straight so they can heal. You may have pins coming out of your skin.
How can I help my arm fracture heal?
- Rest: You may need to rest your arm so that it can heal. Rest is most commonly used to treat a stress fracture.
- Elevate: Raise your arm above the level of your heart as often as you can. This will help decrease pain and swelling. Prop your arm on pillows to raise it above your heart comfortably.
- Ice: Ice decreases pain and swelling. Put crushed ice in a plastic bag and cover it with a towel. Put the ice over your splint or cast for 15 to 20 minutes every hour.
What are the risks of an arm fracture?
The nerves in your arm may be damaged, which can make your arm numb or weak. Your arm may not heal properly or work as well as it did before your injury. You may have a scar if you have surgery.
When should I contact my healthcare provider?
Contact your healthcare provider if:
- You have a fever.
- You have new or more trouble moving your arm.
- You have questions or concerns about your injury, treatment, or care.
When should I seek immediate help?
Seek help immediately or call 911 if:
- The pain in your injured arm does not get better or gets worse, even after rest and medicine.
- Your injured arm, hand, or fingers feel numb.
- Your arm is swollen, red, and feels warm.

Even with a selection of royal jewels at the ready, Kate Middleton could choose a more simple adornment on her wedding day: Flowers.
Roses – like those being made of sugar for the wedding cake and thought to symbolize happiness – will accentuate Kate's enviable mane, reports the Mail on Sunday. Kate's hair, the paper points out, "competes with her legs as being her stand-out feature."
However, if Camilla Parker Bowles has a say, she is "desperate" to persuade the princess-to-be to adhere to royal tradition and wear a tiara, according to the paper.
But with some reports pointing to a Philip Treacy topper as Kate's after-wedding headwear, the question of her hair being up or down still dividing royal watchers, and the Palace refusing to comment, what we'll see on Kate's head April 29 remains very much up in the air.

I'm in a 14 team, PPR league with 3 WR and no flex, so WRs are pretty important (though QBs do get 6 points/TD). I unfortunately missed the draft and Yahoo autodrafted me a team that is definitely not catered to our league rules so I've been trying to make some trades.
I was just offered Philip Rivers and Justin Gage for Tony Romo and Eddie Royal. Even with Royal's recent significant upgrade, KUBIAK still thinks this deal comes out strongly in my favor since Rivers is predicted to do significantly better than Romo. Also, it looks like Brandon Marshall will play just fine for Denver so I'm not even sure Royal deserves his upgrade.
My only hesitation in doing this trade is that it leaves me pretty thin at WR. I'm currently in negotiations with some other teams to possibly grab some of the under-the-rader WRs (Hixon, Holt, Mason) but getting any of them is by no means guaranteed.
Any good reason why I shouldn't do this trade?
League: QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, D, K.
Scoring: 1/20 passing, 6/passing TD, -3/INT, -1/sack, 1 PPR, otherwise standard
My team:
Romo, Shaun Hill
Frank Gore, Brandon Jacobs, Knowshon Moreno, James Davis
Anthony Gonzalez, Terrell Owens, Eddie Royal, Michael Jenkins, Muhsin Muhammad
Zach Miller, Marcedes Lewis
Vinatieri, Giants D
His team:
Rivers, Kyle Orton
Chris Johnson, Ronnie Brown, Jamal Lewis
Larry Fitzgerald, Santana Moss, Justin Gage, Kevin Curtis, Donnie Avery, Josh Morgan
Dustin Keller, Kellen Winslow
Ryan Longwell, Pittsburgh D

looks like a good move. i like avery more than gage, so you could consider countering that. i doubt he'd object.
I agree. It would be a great deal for you if you could get Avery instead of Gage, and it's probably worth doing as is.
What's wrong with your team? The only weakness I see is that you have no WR depth but overall it looks pretty good. I'd keep your team as is unless a really good offer came along.
The WRs. Having good WRs (and depth at the position) is huge in my league since PPR + 3 WRs means that they score a good number of points. I share Kubiak's assessment that Terrell Owens won't amount to much this year. Last year, my team did well largely on the basis of having 3 elite and 2 solid WRs (Reggie Wayne, Marques Colston, Plaxico Burress and Laveranues Coles).
If you want to add WR depth - and you should - this trade doesn't help. I don't consider Rivers as big an upgrade over Romo as Gage is a downgrade compared to Royal. Avery, Morgan, Hixon, and Holt would all be preferable, though as a Gage owner in two leagues I'd love to be wrong. The thing is, I have him because no one values him.
You'd basically be throwing away a solid starter at a vital position for a debatable upgrade at a less important one.
On an unrelated note, I find it hilarious that James Davis (low floor, high ceiling) is your RB4, while Jamal Lewis (slowly falling through the floor) is his RB3.

Lindsay Lohan's accuser in the case of a $2,500 necklace theft took the stand Friday in a Los Angeles courtroom in a hearing to determine if there's enough evidence for a trial.
Sofia Kaman testified that Lohan was never given permission to walk off with the necklace from her Venice, Calif., store on Jan. 22, and that Kaman never loaned jewelry to any clients before.
Lohan tried on the necklace and wore it for 15 to 20 minutes before walking out with it. "Her friend [stylist] Patrick [Aufdenkamp] was asking me all kinds of questions so I was distracted," Kaman said in court.
Lohan, wearing a black top, a white scarf and blue pants, sat quietly and never spoke during the morning session. Sources close to the actress previously said she believed the jewelry was given to her on loan.
Earlier in the morning, an employee from the store, Tinelli Comsooksri, testified that Lohan, just four days before the alleged theft date, almost walked off with one of the store's earrings in her ear, which the owner and employee brushed off as an innocent mistake.
But after Lohan walked off with the necklace four days later, Kaman contacted police after the starlet didn't return the following day as she indicated she would.
Kaman also testified that she was advised by her lawyer to release the surveillance tape of the alleged theft because she was told the videotape was about to be released anyway, presumably by police. Kaman said she never received any money for the video and alleged she was deceived by a publicist working on her behalf.
Kaman added that the necklace's price tag is the standard markup price in the jewelry industry of three times what the necklace cost to make. Lohan's attorney has questioned whether the value of the necklace warrants the felony charge.

I'm recovering from an eating disorder that I developed by becoming too obsessive about eating paleo. I know a lot of people recover FROM eating disorders on paleo, but it's also a little dangerous because you can trigger restrictive or obsessive tendencies when following a diet like this. You may not have fully recovered from your eating disorder and may have overshot your body's set point as a result. This website has some excellent advice for people in all stages of recovery and has helped me a lot. I am currently widening my food selection away from paleo in order to address the extreme anxiety I feel when I stray from it. I have added soaked oats and soaked stone ground bread with good success; this in an attempt to not be AFRAID of any foods but to be able to choose healthy foods in a rational manner (I still agree with the paleo ideology, I just recognize that right now I need to adjust things for the sake of recovery). Oh, and I'm also 19 Best of luck!!!

Dear Editor:
I was very honored to be invited by Principal Christopher Swetckie at Howe Hall Arts Infused Magnet School and his staff to attend a March 26 assembly at the school in Goose Creek.
Each spring since 1978, the South Carolina Association of School Administrators has recognized a few schools which offer excellent instruction and outstanding leaders, along with strong family and community involvement and a supportive business community. Howe Hall was recognized for finishing second in the category of Special Schools out of a pool of finalists for the 2014 Palmettos Finest School Awards.
The SCASA presents the awards each year to schools that offer the best in innovative, effective educational programs. The Palmettos Finest Award is celebrating its 36th year and is one of the most coveted and respected awards among educators. Last fall, 17 South Carolina schools submitted 20-page applications and received an onsite examination visit by a review committee. The nine finalists had a second onsite evaluation. The finalist schools gathered on March 26 to learn which had won top honors. SCETV streamed the announcement live to each of the finalist schools.
Congratulations to the Berkeley County School Board, Dr. Rodney Thompson, the district staff, Principal Swetckie, the teachers, students, parents and community supporters of Howe Hall School. I am very pleased the Berkeley County School District was recognized as having one of the most outstanding and innovative schools in South Carolina. This recognition represents the many excellent school communities we have serving Berkeley County and the outstanding job that is being done to educate our youth.

Easy Virtue
- Air Date:
- Based on the play by Noel Coward, which was first adapted by Alfred Hitchcock during the silent era, Easy Virtue is the epitome of British wit. Laria, the American, is a Jazz Age racecar driver. After impulsively tying the knot in Monte Carlo with a young Englishman John Whittaker, she travels to England to meet her groom's privileged and batty family. Naturally, they hate her. John's mother, Mrs. Whittaker, and his sisters Hilda and Marion do their best to sabotage the newlyweds and banish their brother's shocking new wife. Only in the family's patriarch, Mr. Whittaker, does the young bride find acceptance, and the two develop a bond founded on the mutual appreciation for motorbikes and flouting social etiquiette.

One of the area's newest financial agencies only may be two years old, but its ownership has a 30-year backing that the proprietor considers to have been led by one of the best.
Tami S. Balas, owner of The Klopp Agency, located on the second floor at 427 Broad St. in Montoursville, has worked since she was 18 years old in the financial services field as an assistant to and beneath the guidance of the late Eph Baker.
The fledgling agency provides individuals with financial advisement for things such as retirement packages, insurance and other investment products. While fairly new to the field on her own, Balas said she's already up to about 220 clients - the majority of which she obtained from her reputation and skills granted to her via Baker's teachings.

GREG HAYES/Sun-Gazette
Tami S. Balas, above, has worked in the financial services field for more than 30 years. Two years ago she started her own business, The Klopp Agency, at 427 Broad Street, Montoursville.
"A lot of them knew me since I was 18," Balas said. "I had a good teacher."
Balas likened the experience as a financial agent to that of a doctor, in that people's most intimate financial details are revealed over a period of time that a level of comfort is created between her and her clients that the possibility of changing agencies for clients may have been daunting when Baker died.
"It's financial planning that I do for people," she said. "It's a very personal service."
When she opened The Klopp Agency, Balas said she had a grateful following.
What separates her business from more corporate financial service agencies is her ability to create a comforting atmosphere at her Broad Street location.
Housed in an old Victorian home, her office is bathed in warm colors and small enough to elicit a sense of ease, as opposed to the institutional and more intimidating office settings of larger companies.
"I always put them (clients) at ease, and don't make them feel dumb asking any question," she said.
With today's technology, clients are able to do their own research prior to coming to her, and by that method, they're able to know what they're getting into, she said.
"I just help steer people in the right direction," she said. "It's their money, and I try to explain stuff in plain language."
One of the advantages of being a local agent with local roots as a graduate of Loyalsock Township High School is that she's known and seen around the area, which establishes a level of camaraderie with her clients, she said.
"If I had to start from scratch, I don't know how how I'd do it," Balas conceded as she reflected on going into business for herself.
Balas said she originally interviewed for a secreatry position at Baker's agency on a whim when she was a student at the Williamsport School of Commerce, now the Newport Business Institute.
She was encouraged to do the interview for - if nothing else - the experience of merely having one.
When Baker asked when she could start, she said, "Tomorrow."
Taking the position was "the best thing that ever happened to me," Balas said.
Baker, at the age of 93 and still working, died in 2007 from cancer, which called into question Balas's future in financial services.
"Having this person as a boss, it'd be hard to work for anyone else," she said, adding she interviewed for a few other agencies before deciding on going into business for herself.
"Thank goodness I stepped out of the box and took the chance," she said of opening The Klopp Agency.
The agency was opened under her maiden name, as she and her sister originally planned to go into business together.
"It was a leap of faith," she added.
For more information on The Klopp Agency's services, call 368-5012.

JAKARTA, Indonesia -- Investigators worked Saturday to identify a pair of suicide bombers who attacked two American luxury hotels in Indonesia's capital, and officials confirmed at least four of the dead were foreigners.
Suspicions hardened that the blasts were masterminded by Noordin Top, a Malaysian fugitive who heads a breakaway faction of the Southeast Asian militant network Jemaah Islamiyah.
Click here for a closer look at those responsible for the attacks with CBN News International Correspondent Gary Lane."I'm 200 percent sure this was his work," said Nasir Abbas, a former Jemaah Islamiyah leader turned police informant who has worked with police on investigations into Indonesia's last three terrorist attacks.
Suicide bombers posing as guests attacked the J.W. Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta on Friday, setting off a pair of blasts that killed eight people and wounded more than 50, authorities said.
A police investigator also told The Associated Press on Saturday that Noordin was the most likely suspect.
"Considering the target, the location and content of the bombs, it was clearly the work of Noordin," the investigator said, declining to give his name because he wasn't authorized to speak to the media.
He said police had confiscated handwritten notes, a cell phone and a bomb encased in a laptop computer from room 1808 of the Marriott, where the bombers had apparently prepared for the blasts.
The investigator said a hotel receptionist told police that the man who checked into the room gave his name as "Nurdin." He gave a $1,000 cash deposit because he had no credit card, he said.
Authorities have not officially named a suspect, but suspicion quickly fell on Jemaah Islamiyah or its allies. The al-Qaeda-linked network is blamed for past attacks in Indonesia, including a 2003 bombing at the Marriott in which 12 people died.
The heads of four of the bodies recovered from the blast scenes - two at each hotel - had been blown off, the police investigator said.
It has been nearly four years since the last major terrorist attack in the world's most populous Muslim nation - a triple suicide bombing at restaurants on the resort island of Bali that killed 20 people.
Friday's strikes raised questions about security gaps at high-end hotels, which have become popular targets for militants in recent years, most notably in Mumbai, India, where attacks in November killed 164 people.
Security was boosted at sites frequented by Westerners across the Indonesian capital of 13 million, where hotels already screen every vehicle, and guests enter through metal detectors. However, many visitors say searches are often cursory.
The attack occurred as the Marriott was hosting a regular meeting of top foreign executives of major companies in Indonesia organized by the consultancy firm CastleAsia, said the group, which is headed by an American.
The Health Ministry crisis center has identified five of the dead - two from Australia, one from New Zealand, one from Singapore and one from Indonesia.
Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said Saturday after meeting with his Indonesian counterpart that two Australians, including Trade Commission officer Craig Senger, had been confirmed dead.
"The hearts of our nation go out to those families," he said, noting that a third Australian at the scene "has not made contact with anyone since ... and we fear the worst."
Family members of another Australian victim, Perth businessman Nathan Verity, were expected to identify his body Saturday before taking it home to be buried, the Australian Associated Press reported, quoting a family friend.
The dead New Zealander was identified by his employer as Timothy David Mackay, who worked for cement products manufacturer PT Holcim Indonesia.
Officials said 17 foreigners were among the wounded, including eight Americans and citizens of Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, South Korea and Britain.
Six of the injured were being treated for burns and shrapnel wounds in Singapore, a 90-minute flight from Jakarta, said International SOS, a provider of medical assistance.
None of the Americans suffered life-threatening injuries, State Department spokesman Robert Wood said.
Two of those wounded at the Ritz-Carlton were employees of Phoenix-based Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., said Bill Collier, a company spokesman. He declined to identity the two men or their nationalities, citing company policy, but said their injuries were not life-threatening.
The blasts at the high-rise hotels, located side-by-side in an upscale business district in Jakarta, blew out windows and scattered debris and glass across the street, kicking up a thick plume of smoke.
The attackers evaded hotel security, smuggling explosives into the Marriott and apparently assembling the bombs on the 18th floor, where an undetonated device was found after the explosions.
Security videos captured the moment of the explosion in the Marriott. The brief, grainy images show a man wearing a cap and pulling a bag on wheels walking across the lobby toward the restaurant, followed by a flash and smoke filling the air.
The Manchester United football team canceled a visit to Indonesia in the wake of the attacks. The team had been scheduled to stay at the Ritz- Carlton on Saturday and Sunday.
In October 2002, two Bali nightclubs were attacked, killing 202 people, many of them foreign tourists. Jemaah Islamiyah was accused of responsibility.

MTV Host's Emergency Landing
MTV's "Senseless Acts of Video" host Troy Hartman, 26, made an emergency landing on a street about 40 miles outside of Los Angeles on Sunday when the engine of the experimental RV-4 airplane that he was piloting to Las Vegas lost power, say authorities. There were no injuries, Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Dan McPherson told the Associated Press. "We had time to deal with the situation, which was good, but we picked a couple of roads to land on, and I realized that they were pretty heavy traffic roads, a lot of cars down there, and it got stressful," Hartman, who had a passenger onboard with him, told L.A. TV station KTLA. "At about 1,000 feet, I realized we were running out of time." Hartman, who re-enacts stunts he has seen on music videos, touched down in Palmdale, Calif., at about 3 p.m. and taxied the plane about three miles to the airport, said McPherson.

your opinion on the cuban prospects?
we have rigondeaux, lara, gamboa, yudel johnson, odlanier solis etc.
out of the cuban defectors who would you say is the most skilled and the one you like watching the most?
i have them listed as such
1. guillermo rigondeaux (two time gold medalist, dominated as an amateur and has shown that he has a nice pro style) rigondeaux is a master counter-puncher who sets his opponents up with disstance.
2. erislandy lara (gold medalist) he has developed a nice pro style, and he has all around good skills, nice defense, great offense, can fight inside very well. he will takeover the jr. middleweight division in my opinion, he is just to versatile and to skilled overall for the current fighters in the division.
3. yuriorkis gamboa (another succesful amateur winning medals) i dont think he is as talented as lara and rigondeaux but he is highly skilled and is very exciting buti think he will get himself knocked out on the top level
4. odlanier solis (gold medalist and overall a great amateur. he has wins over the great felix savon and a stoppage win over david haye also) solis has been coming in high on the scales but i think hes in better shape then people think hes just a very big dude. but yea he could get in better shape. solis is very skilled, he is very rangy for a short heavyweight being 6'1 1/2 with an 79 inch reach. he is a very good body puncher and has a good left hook and overhand right. i think he is one of the best heavyweights currently and will make a beakthrough into the top ten in 2010.
5. yudel johnson (a very good amateurbut not great like his fellow cubans) johnson is a counter puncher who likes to move. he has decnt all around skills but his habit of taking breaks and seeming to lose focus at times worries me when he gets on the top level hence why i have him ranked the lowest.
let me know who you think is the most talented. and if you want to show me your ranking list for the cubans. ( you motha****as better get away for the pacquioa-cotto **** for a lil bit and come into this thread i spent alot of time typing this **** out lol)

It totally agree with you on Gamboa, Lara is the good and in my opinion he will be at the top of the sport in a few year. Johnson is simply not that good in my view....I see him getting beaten by contender level fighters.

They only know Pac and Floyd.. they're not boxing fans they are Floyd and Pac fans only.
1. Rigondeaux.........I said this in another thread...By the start of 2012 Rigondeaux will be the best fighter on the Planet and it wont even be close. Hes the most skilled...the fastest, the most discipline , the most skilled, the most defensive.....He looks like a cross Between Pac and Floyd crazy as it sound.
2. Lara- I seen him figth a couple times, I like his skill set and it will be interesting to see him against the fighters at 154 because that divison will be loaded with Talent.
3. Gamboa- Gamboa doesnt get much love on the forums because we see his chin is iffy but he might end up having a great career and surprising everybody...and we still havent seen the best from him.
*I HAVENT SEEN SOLIS, AND JOHNSON FIGHT) I'll youtube them.

I think Lara is the less talked about, but is the best of the group.
If Solis gets in fuking shape, he could be the saviour of te HW division
Gamboa is very good and very exciting to watch, but like you said his style and shaky chin will get him KO'd sometimes, but he will KO some Mo FO's too.
About Rigodeaux I think he is talented, no doubt, but he wont be as great as they expect. He is too inactive and too within is ama style. He will be champ, but nothing special!!!!

out of the list..I like Lara the most with Rigondeaux (sp?) a close 2nd..
I think Lara is the most complete..but from what I've heard regarding his last performance here in chicago last month on the Malignaggi-Diaz II undercard..that he didn't look all that great but still won a pretty wide UD..
I still believe Lara is the most complete and promising outta the cuban prospects tho.

i've only seen a few gamboa fights, one from rigondeaux, and one from lara. they all seem very talented so far. lara looks solid, gamboa is exciting, and rigondeaux, i need to see more of him to form an opinion. i've only seen his debut and he was a one handed fighter in that fight and not very impressive.

The tale of Hawaiian land snails began millions of years ago as the first plants and animals began to colonize the islands. Researchers don't know exactly how snails arrived - perhaps stuck to the feathers of a bird or on a floating tree trunk. But in a remarkable story of evolutionary radiation, some 21 or more of those first species that arrived over the millennia gave rise to more than 750 distinct species. Of those, 99 percent are endemic to Hawaii - found here and nowhere else.
Famously varied in color and shape, Hawaiians called them pupu kuahiwi, or high-hill snails. Early Europeans collected these jewels of the forest, selling them as lei or to collectors. These snails are still highly valued. Current efforts focus on saving remaining species; high-elevation snail refuges are built to protect them.
Often native snails are found only on one island, or in a single valley or ridge, teetering on extinction because of habitat destruction, shell collection and invasive species. Adding to the challenges, many Hawaiian land snails reproduce at what is truly a snail's pace: Some species are 3 to 7 years old at first reproduction and have only 4 to 7 young per year. They grow slowly - only 0.2 to 0.4 centimeters a year. Compare this to the invasive giant African snail (achatina fulica), which reproduces at one year of age, lays up to 600 eggs annually and grows about 2.5 centimeters per year.

This species Newcomb's tree snail used to live from Lahaina to Makawao. Today, it's only found high in the West Maui Mountains. Crews with the Puu Kukui Watershed Preserve are building an enclosure to protect the snail from hungry predators — rats and the rosy wolf snail.

One species of snail endemic to Maui, Newcomb's tree snail or Newcombia cumingi, was once found from Lahaina to Makawao, but like most land snails has become increasingly rare during the latter half of the 20th century. It was last seen in 1938 by Bishop Museum researchers then rediscovered in 1994 by resource managers with the Maui Land & Pineapple Co.'s Puu Kukui Watershed Preserve.
"One hundred years ago they (native snails) were everywhere," explains Kenneth Hayes, a University of Hawaii researcher who, along many others, has been working to find out how many West Maui snails remain. Today, 50 percent or more are gone, many turned into escargot for invasive predators- rats, Jackson's chameleons and the rosy wolf snail. According to Hayes, the remaining native snails have mostly been relegated to the few areas that still contain native forest, but even these refuges won't last long if we don't stem the tide of invasive species. Native snails dine primarily on the fungi that grow on native plants. Invasive plants change the way water moves through Hawaii's watersheds altering the ecosystem by changing what plants, animals, fungi or microbes can live there. The snails' preferred fungi may not grow in altered habitats.
Pomaikai Kaniaupio-Crozier, conservation manager with Puu Kukui Watershed Preserve, is leading efforts to protect the Newcombia. With U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding and partner help they are planning an "exclosure" in the native forest of West Maui to keep hungry predators from munching native snails.
The West Maui "snail refuge" will be modeled after similar exclosures on Oahu, where the Oahu Army Natural Resources Program has enclosed three areas to keep out rats, chameleons and even the predatory rosy wolf snail. A 4-foot tall sheet metal fence topped by a curved lip deters rats and chameleons. Predatory snails face sheet metal at an impossible-to-scale 10 degree angle - if they do manage they hit an electric wire. One fence is equipped with an electronic sensing system that alerts managers via text message if debris falls on the fence.
The first step in protecting Newcombia is a population survey. "They are the size of a pinky fingernail and very cryptic," says Kaniaupio-Crozier. "It's like finding the needle in the haystack, looking for something that small in 8,600 acres. Up until a couple months ago we were getting pretty demoralized."
Then they made a remarkable discovery. They found a new population, in totally unexpected habitat. The existing Newcombia population inhabited a wet area with lots of ohia; the new population was found on akia, in much drier terrain. "There's hope there may be another population somewhere else."
From survey to construction, building the snail refuge will take several years. You can help. Puu Kukui Watershed Preserve is welcoming people interested in habitat restoration, monitoring, even joining in the brainstorming.

Radiation Therapy Program
Clinical Obligations
Students in the Radiation Therapy Program will attend clinical at four different clinical sites. Transportation to the assigned clinical site is the responsibility of the student.
The program maintains affiliation agreements with twenty five clinical sites. While the program strives to place students in sites within a reasonable distance from the college, there will be a semester or two in which a student will have to travel a distance to clinical.
Parking fees may be incurred at a clinical site, these fees are the responsibility of the student.
Students are also required to "shadow" at a clinical site once accepted into the program. The "shadow" schedule will be determined by the Clinical Coordinator after the program orientation.
The clinical day hours are 8:00am to 4:30pm unless otherwise noted and assigned by the clinical coordinator.

|Hacker Enumerations Tools
SomarSoft's DumpEvt is a Windows NT program to dump the event log in a format suitable for importing into a database.
SomarSoft's DumpReg is a program for Windows NT and Windows 95 that dumps the registry, making it easy to find keys and values containing a string.
SomarSoft's DumpSec is a security auditing program for Microsoft Windows® NT/2000. It dumps the permissions (DACLs) and audit settings (SACLs) for the file system, registry, printers and shares in a concise, readable format, so that holes in system security are readily apparent.
Here is a little tool to dump the contents of the endpoint mapper; real ugly output, but it gives some ideas about what's running and waiting on what dynamically assigned ports.
A command-line utility to view the locally logged on users to a specified computer. Can be used to show the current interactive users, or a list of all users to ever logon through the computer.
A command-line version of Network Neighborhood or Net View, which supports filtering of specific types of computers returned (SQL, workstations only, etc.).
ProbeTS will scan a full C-Class for you to determine if terminal services are being offered up regardless of what port is actually being used.
It basically allows you to get the transport names (devices) in use on a box. With NT4, the protocol name usually contains the adapter type as well as the protocol, so it was pretty easy to see stuff like modems, net cards, etc in a dump
TSEnum stands for "Terminal Services Enumeration", however this program can enumerate pretty much everything not just Terminal Services
UserDump is UserInfo with a twist. It combines LookupAccountSID and LookupAccountName with UserInfo's NetGetUserInfo calls, resulting in a SID Walker that can dump every user in a domain in a single command line.
UserInfo is a little functiod that retrieves all available information about any know user from any NT/Win2k system that you can hit 139 on.
A nice utility showing information about your NT installation including: version, build number, installation date, and whether it is a full or time limited version.

Our Walt Disney World trip reports were the inspiration for this website. For years we wrote trip reports on Disney forums, and in reply, we received a number of questions about the parks, resorts, and dining, plus lots of, "you should write your own blog" comments. In February 2011 we finally listened to these comments and started this site, initially only as a way to organize our popular trip reports. The site has since grown into a full Disney online resource, but its heart remains the trip reports. The trip reports are what regular readers tell us, time and time again, they love most about DisneyTouristBlog.com.
If you've never read Disney trip reports, you might wonder what the heck these reports are and why so many people like them. They're hard to define. Primarily, they're a way to share the incredible amounts of fun we have Walt Disney World and Disneyland, along with gorgeous photos of the parks, many of which are our popular "After Hours" shots. People really seem to like seeing Walt Disney World and Disneyland without any other people in the parks.
Along the way, there are candid opinions about Disney, tips for improving your own Disney trips, random photo-babble, and the occasional witty remark. (Well, we think it's witty…) The trip reports aren't for everyone, but for those who enjoy them, they are great tools for planning, or living vicariously through our past experiences in the parks as you await your next trip!
These trip reports are eclectic smorgasbords of Disney adventures by two married twenty-somethings. The FDA warns that they are not safe for human consumption, but we encourage you to read anyway. Or skim them for pretty Disney photos!

Feedly finally updates to allow users to delete their own account. Previous Feedly nonsense.
Once Google shut down their Reader service I set up a Feedly account. Like Google Reader, Feedly is a service which "subscribes" to a collection of web sites' RSS feeds. An RSS "feed" is, typically, a chronological list of updates to a web site. Each feed entry contains a title, a link, a description, and in many cases it may contain the entire content of the linked article. Most blogging platforms automatically generate these feeds, making RSS an easy way to distribute a site's content or updates. A feed reader, like Feedly, presents all of these updates in one place making it easy to stay updated on way too many web sites, spend too long reading after breakfast, and miss your train.
Feedly is a nice product. The web interface is very slick. The service works with Reeder, which I love. Feedly is a free service, with a "pro" paid option. I've enjoyed using it. But. There's always a but.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I recently discovered that Feeddly was hijacking content from RSS feeds and presenting it on their own site. Feedly lets you directly share any article on Twitter or other social networks. Instead of posting a link to the original article (the link that comes in the RSS feed), Feedly was automatically making a copy of the original article and hosting it on their website. This means the original web site wouldn't be visited by anyone who looked at the shared link. The original web site would get no traffic, get no ad impressions, and make no money.
Feedly was literally stealing from other websites.
RSS feeds are provided by web site authors in good faith, in hopes that they will be used to link back to the original site, and to make it easier for their most dedicated readers to follow them. Feedly was abusing this good faith for their own gain. It appears this may not be an isolated incident.
How to leave Feedly
I decided, promptly, not to support this kind of nonsense and closed my Feedly account.
First I created a new account at FeedWrangler. FeedWrangler, at the time of this writing, costs $19 per year. The interface is less slick that Feedly, however FeedWrangler works well with my beloved Reeder, so that matters very little.
Second, I exported my subscriptions from Feedly. Feedly doesn't make this obvious. While logged into Feedly visit the following URL: https://feedly.com/index.html#opml. This will provide you with a download link for your subscriptions in OPML format, the standard-ish format for exporting and importing RSS feed subscriptions.
Third, I imported my exported feed list into FeedWrangler. It only took a few moments to load up all of my feeds. I have about 150 subscriptions. I know. I have a problem. A few of my feeds didn't end up in the right folder, or "smart stream" in FeedWrangler, but all in all, the import worked fine.
Fourth, I went back to my Feedly account and unsubscribed from everything. Out of spite. Then I followed the instructions here for deleting my account. Note again that you have to search for this information; it's not readily available within the application itself.
Fifth, I updated my copies of Reeder on my phone and iPad with my new FeedWrangler account, deleted the Feedly account, and uninstalled the Feedly browser extension.
Last, I revoked Feedly's access to my Google Account. Feedly uses your Google Account to create your user account on their system. Originally, Feedly used this access to import subscriptions from Google Reader. They won't be needing access to that any more.
FeedWrangler is a paid-only service. They appear to be better citizens, with more respect for their users, who are also their customers. I'm hopeful that because of this arrangement they are unlikely to pull abusive stunts like this.
I'm disappointed in Feedly. Many sites try to make a little money by running ads. These aren't big businesses. They are mostly individuals. Feedly willfully stepped in between readers and publishers, taking traffic and ad impressions away from the publishers. That's abusive and unkind to the people providing a free resource, a free resource which is the foundation of their business.
Feedly has since stopped this practice, which I suppose is good. Now, with their disrespect toward content authors laid bare, I expect that they'll be pulling some other stunt soon enough. None for me, thanks.

If I gain any more muscle right now I'll be back into the obese category at 18% body fat.
I think you're looking at a BMI chart and confusing it with body fat percentage. Your BMI is 25.7, your body fat percentage is 35-39%. 2 different measures. BMI is accurate but pretty worthless, body fat percentage is inaccurate (the way you calculated it) but useful. But they're not the same thing at all.
For reference, my BMI is over 26, which means I'm classified as overweight. My body fat percentage is 15-16% at the moment, which means you can make out my top 4 abs if you look closely.
If I gain any more muscle right now I'll be back into the obese category at 18% body fat.
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
Online calculators are of limited use for body fat percentage. They are based on averages taken from large studies and make some big assumptions. If you are really keen to know get a caliper and read up about accurate measuring. LGN is the best measure in my book.
I was "overweight" in high school according to those charts. I had 6% body fat. Gymnast muscle FTW!

My prior (female) trainer is 5'5" and 150lbs and gorgeously fit and healthy. Absolutely in no way obese or even heavy. It is all relative. Me? At 5'3" I WOULD be fat at 150 the way I put on weight. Some people are just more dense. I hope that doesn't sound negative.
No more scales. No more comparisons. Eat well. Move well. Take care of your body and your brain and it should all fall into place over time. That is the plan, at least.

DETROIT, MI- Efforts to recover eight Chevrolet Corvettes swallowed by a massive sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum have finally come to an end.
The final vehicle, a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette, was pulled from the massive 40-foot wide by 60-foot deep sinkhole Wednesday at the Bowling Green, Ky. Museum.
Katie Frassinelli, museum spokeswoman, said the latest vehicle to be pulled from the wreckage was the most damaged (see photo below). She said workers located the last vehicle last week, but it took days to uncover and pull what was left of the vehicle from the sinkhole.
The sinkhole swallowed the vehicles Feb. 12. Since then, officials have been working on recovering them.
The other cars rescued were a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder, a 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil, a 1962 black Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, a 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette, a 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette and a 2009 white 1.5 Millionth Corvette.
The museum owned six of the cars, and the other two — the ZR-1 Spyder and ZR1 Blue Devil — were on loan from General Motors Co., which has volunteered to oversee the restoration of the damaged vehicles.
The first car hoisted out in early March — the ZR1 Blue Devil — suffered only minor damage. Frassinelli said oil was leaking from the vehicle, but that was about it.
The museum plans to display the damaged Corvettes through August. After which, they will be shipped to GM Design Warren, Mich., where Chevrolet officials will attempt to return the iconic sports cars back to their original beauty.
The National Corvette Museum is independently owned, and supported solely by charitable donations from enthusiasts. It is currently accepting donations on its website to assist in refurbishing the facility. Donations are tax-deductible.
Repairs to the museum, Frassinelli said are expected to be completed by early August, just in time for the museum's Corvette Caravan — a celebration marking the museum's 20th anniversary.
