Ofield Dukes, the public relations mogul known as a powerful mover and shaker in Washington political circles, is remembered this week, not only as a national PR giant but as a champion for the Black press.
"He was a remarkable, extraordinary individual whose presence will be missed beyond measure. He was probably the leading advocate of the Black press and was one of the great pioneers," said Danny Bakewell Sr., immediate past chairman of the National Newspaper Publishers Association, the Black Press of America, which Dukes served faithfully for decades.
"He was always there when we asked him to do something. His legacy will be a light of truth and courage and undaunting pursuit of equality for Black people measured through the eyes of the Black press."
Dukes died Wednesday, Dec. 7, at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, where he started his career as an award-winning columnist and editorial writer for the Michigan Chronicle from 1958 to 1964. He had returned to his home of Detroit in the latter part of this year, suffering with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that affects the bones. He was 79.
"While Ofield's accomplishments and accolades are varied and plentiful over the past four decades, the best adjective I can bestow upon him is true and loyal friend who was like a brother to me," said John B. Smith Sr., publisher of the Atlanta Inquirer and two-term NNPA chairman, a fete that he attributes to Dukes' support.
"I will never be able to recount the many times we discussed various issues pertaining to the Black Press of America and his foresight and aptitude was always on point…Ofield was among the premier communications strategists."
A viewing was set for 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 13, at the James H. Cole Funeral Home Northwest Chapel at 16100 Schaefer Highway in Detroit. The funeral was set for 11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 14, at Tabernacle Baptist Church, 2080 W. Grand Blvd. in Detroit with interment at Woodlawn Cemetery, 19975 Woodward Ave. For more information on arrangements, contact Naomi R. Patton at (313) 223-4485 or email@example.com.
A Washington, D.C. memorial service is being planned for Wednesday, Jan. 11.
Richmond Free Press Editor/Publisher Raymond H. Boone Sr., who had known Dukes for 50 years, remained in touch with him during his final months.
"We remained in constant touch until the last weeks before his death. In our last telephone conversation, he remained courageously upbeat while cherishing the blessings of his life as he faced the reality of his future," Boone said.
Boone met Dukes as a member of the Johnson-Humphrey administration, which Boone was covering as a reporter for the Washington Afro American. "We immediately struck a lasting friendship in 1964," Boone recalled.
After Humphrey lost his presidential bid against Richard Nixon in 1968, Dukes established Ofield Dukes & Associates, beginning a stellar PR career. The first African-American recipient of both the Gold and Silver Anvils, the highest awards of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), Dukes was among the most highly sought after public relations executives in Washington. Motown Record Corp. was his first client.
He remained grounded, never forsaking his passion for the progress of Black people.
Dukes organized the first Congressional Black Caucus Dinner in 1971 and worked tediously in his final years to keep the CBC and Black press connected.
"He will be sorely missed for his many years of service to the Democratic Party, the Congressional Black Caucus and The Black Press of America," says Dorothy Leavell, former NNPA president and former chair of the NNPA Foundation of which Dukes served as a board member for six years. "He loved the Black press and served it faithfully throughout his career. We shall all miss his service to the fourth estate."
Leavell specifically recalled Dukes' working for Black press inclusion in briefings with President Clinton as well as the inclusion of the Black press on advertising buys with the Democratic National Committee.
Among CBC stalwarts, Dukes was especially close to U. S. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.).
"As a member of Congress, I have been blessed to call many wonderful people my friend, but none more than Ofield Dukes. I am extremely saddened by the passing of such a great man who had significant impact in not only my life, but that of my colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus, dating back to its founding," Rangel said in a statement.
Ofield Dukes was born Aug. 8, 1932, in Rutledge, Ala., served in the U.S. Army from 1952 to 1954, earned a journalism degree at Wayne State University in 1958 and got a job at the Chronicle the same year.He left the Chronicle for Washington, D.C. in 1964 to serve as deputy director of information for the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity under President Lyndon B. Johnson.
In 1966, he joined the staff of Vice President Hubert Humphrey as a consultant and continued as a consultant to every Democratic presidential campaign since then.
In 2002, Radio One founder Cathy Hughes named the building that houses three of her Detroit stations the Ofield Dukes Communications Center.
Dukes taught as an adjunct professor at Howard University for l7 years and at the American University School of Communications for eight years.
He was founder of the Black Public Relations Society of Washington and was a member of the Washington, DC/National Capital Public Relations Society of America Hall of Fame and the Virginia Communications Hall of Fame.
Dukes is survived by his daughter. Roxi Victorian, a performing arts graduate from Howard University; a grandson and three sisters, Anne Harris, Betty Hayden and Lou Brock.
"His kind, there are no more Ofield Dukes," said Sam Logan, publisher of the Michigan Chronicle. "There will not be another."
The Chronicle honored Dukes on its 75th anniversary in November.

NEW YORK (AP) – A woman accused of pushing a man to his death in front of a subway train was charged Saturday with murder as a hate crime.
Police arrested Erica Menendez on Saturday after a passer-by on a street noticed she resembled the woman seen in a surveillance video.
A spokeswoman for Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown said Menendez told authorities she hates Hindus and Muslims.
The victim, Sunando Sen was from India, but it's unclear if he was Muslim or Hindu.
Sen, who lived in Queens and ran a printing shop, was killed Thursday night. Witnesses said a muttering woman pushed him on the tracks as a 7 train entered a Queens station and then ran off.
Menendez was in custody Saturday and couldn't be reached for comment. It was unclear if she had an attorney.
"It's just a really sad commentary on the world and on human beings, period," said Howard Roth, who takes the subway daily.

We've been picking flowers and sticking them in containers for thousands of years.
The early Egyptians did it, as did the Chinese: Feng Shui guidelines for creating harmony in a home suggest placing vases of fresh-cut flowers throughout the dwelling to relieve stress, and increase productivity and creativity.
Ikebana, the 600-year-old art of Japanese flower arranging, became a craft of high regard, with a spiritual element.
Today, artisans, designers and even florists continue to dream up interesting new vessels.
New York City-based floral designer Matthew Robbins has created a line of vases for Teroforma that takes the guesswork out of flower arranging.
Each vase describes what works best in it, and each is crafted of the same neutral white bisque porcelain, with a subtle yet referential etched motif. (www.teroforma.com)
"We wanted to create a line of vases that provided a perfect visual anchor for fresh flowers. Clean shapes and surfaces are wonderful; they keep the focus on the flowers," says Robbins.
The Museum of Modern Art's store offered several interesting vases at this spring's design preview in New York. French design team Charlotte Arnal and Francis Fevre's Zouzous vase is a polycarbonate receptacle enrobed in a shaggy coat of colorful polypropylene bristles.
Also at the MoMA store, Charlie Guda perches a narrow vial in front of a small yet powerful lens to magnify a flower.
Guda created the Big Bloom vase as homage to 18th-century French physician Augustin-Jean Fresnel, who invented a lens to enhance the brightness of lighthouse lanterns and contributed to naval navigation safety.
And Ricardo Saint Clair's playful chalkboard-faced vase gives you a surface to add an image or a message, and comes with chalk. (www.momastore.org)
Bliss Home and Design has an array of ceramic vases with textural elements that add drama: The Pompon vase is festooned with white balls; the Sea Sponge is made of layers of glazed clay resembling fronds of ocean sponge, and Monkey Paw is made of dozens of iridescent ceramic blooms. (www.bliss homeanddesign.com)
Toronto-based design outfit Chive has decided to focus solely on selling vases. At the NY Now show in February, their booth was abuzz with buyers placing orders for Pooley 2, a cluster of glazed ceramic bud vases affixed to a slab, as well as the Hudson 4 collection of clear glass vessels in configurations ranging from simple single shapes to conjoined vases that form a caterpillar or bubbles.
A porcelain bird vase in gray, white, blue or black seems to rest on the flowers or greenery placed in a receptacle at its feet. (www.chive.com)
Waterford's Evolution series has some striking examples of artisanal glasswork. The Menagerie Trinidad vase interprets the markings of a graceful ocelot, while the Nairobi invokes the bold stripes of a zebra. The Agate vase was inspired by the colors and concentric bands of quartz agate. (www.macys.com)
Ikea's Socker vase is an enameled steel-and-eucalyptus-handled bucket of diminutive proportions, so flowers have the look of a European flower market. Ikaprig is a stoneware cylinder with a homespun aesthetic. (www.ikea.com)
Waterfords Evolution Agate Collection features animal and nature designs rendered in glass.×
Chives Pooley 2 is a set of fully glazed ceramic bud vases that come in 8- or 12-vase configurations, and attach to a rectangular base.×
A Minimalist style Big Bloom Vase, designed by Charlie Guda, features a powerful Fresnel lens that magnifies the flower placed in the vial in front of it.×
A Zouzous vase was created by the French design team Charlotte Arnal and Francis Fevre to explore the tension between texture and color in a commonplace object.×
Waterfords Evolution Nairobi Collection features zebra, ocelot and agate designs rendered in glass.×
Chives Porcelain Bird vases come in white, gray, blue and black.×
A playful Chalkboard Vase by designer Ricardo Saint-Clair features a chalkboard front that can be used for drawings, messages and more. The top of the bud vase houses a removable glass tube designed to hold water and flowers.×
Chives Hudson 4 Caterpillar glass vase works well on a long table or window sill.×


text: This left hand leather holster is ideal for carrying the Smith & Wesson Model 500 with a 4" barrel equipped with the scope of your choice. The slot cut down the top of the holster serves two purposes. First it allows a good fit for a scope but equally as important is to make this large revolver easier to draw. The slot on this holster is cut down to 3-1/4" from the muzzle end of the holster, leaving the shooter only 3-1/4" of leather to clear making the draw much easier. We have added five bullit loops down the side of the holster for your convenience. There are double hammer straps and double snaps for the straps, one strap fits above the hammer spur and the other below the spur resulting in a secure revolver. The holster also comes with a leather harness that fits on your weak side shoulder/neck and a belt and buckle on your chest to adjust the harness to relieve pressure on your belt and can be adjusted one inch at a time. The adjusting process is very simple and can be done while walking. Lastly this holster comes embossed with our Smith & Wesson logo, a symbol of excellence.

Are nikken magnets correct for kids next to asd?
Yes, and I am not a Nikken salesman.
An American paediatrician did an informal trial in 1997 and found nouns as long as the children wore the magnets.
I have a copy of the trial if anyone desires to read it.
This is not proof, but magnotherapy is certainly worth a trial.
You would enjoy to ask a Rep of Nikken. A natural juice supplement called Vemma is also right for kids or adults with ASD. Good luck.

Harden wants to start: "James Harden is laying down his own challenge. The Oklahoma City Thunder guard wants to crack the starting rotation next season. "I hope so," said Harden, last year's No. 3 overall pick. "That's what this summer is for."
Dime looks at 10 players to watch in Orlando: "Latavious Williams, Oklahoma City – By now, you might know Latavious Williams was the first D-Leaguer to get drafted into the NBA. What I want to know is how the 21-year old is just one year removed from high school? Oklahoma City has done a good job of developing his game so far. We are interested to see the progress he's made since finishing his first year in the D-League."
Serge Ibaka is listed as day-to-day with an ankle sprain.
A couple notes from Zach Harper of HP on the Thunder: "BJ "Byron" Mullens: His stat line looks great with 24 points on 12 shots, 15 trips to the line and seven rebounds. But I'm afraid of his defensive rating when he actually plays in the regular season consistently because he's way too slow to guard anybody or rotate properly. Serge Ibaka scare: He banged knees with Semih Erden and crumpled to the floor. He had to be helped off the floor and it looked bad for a few minutes. Luckily, he walked it off on the sideline and appears to be just fine. Eric Maynor: Within two years, he's going to be the best backup point guard in the NBA and it won't be close."
Also this note on Daniel Orton: "He was easily the worst rookie of the day. He proved that jumping into the draft and securing a first round contract was maybe the smartest thing he could ever do with his life. He sold high on his hype and now will be guaranteed at least four years in the NBA. He fumbled passes, had slow post moves with no purpose and played pretty mediocre defense. He even got in a fight with Josh McRoberts and was ejected. All of this took place in just 13 minutes of action."
Darnell Mayberry on yesterday's game: "Byron Mullens sounds more passionate about the game. That, to me, means more than his 24-point, seven-rebound performance against Boston on Monday night. You might think that's backwards. It's not. No. 1, it's summer league and Mullens' production, especially against an overmatched group of "Celtics" needs to be taken with a grain of salt. And that's not taking anything away from Mullens' game tonight. He was a stud and did everything asked of him. No. 2, Mullens has never really struck me as a fiery guy when it came to basketball. Today, for the first time, I got that vibe from him. Mullens clearly has skills, and up until last season he was getting by on those raw talents. But now he seems eager to want to get the most out of his God-given attributes."

Azarenka ready to test herself
Victoria Azarenka is ready for some "top battles" as she bids to defend her Australian Open crown - starting with a tricky-looking quarter-final against Svetlana Kuznetsova.
- Related Content
Azarenka breezed through her last-16 encounter with Elena Vesnina, winning 6-1 6-1 in 57 minutes - the latest in a series of mis-matches in the women's draw.
But Kuznetsova is a different proposition.
Having spent the last six months of 2012 recovering from knee surgery, the two-time major champion is now fit and looking good.
"I think it's going to be a very tough match," said top seed Azarenka.
"I can see Sveta has come back much fresher, much stronger.
"She knows how to handle big stages, big tournaments. She's a grand slam champion as well.
"It's definitely an exciting match for me to be in. I'm sure it's going to be really tough but I will give my best."
Azarenka was pleased to have made untroubled progress after being embroiled in a three-set battle with American Jamie Hampton on Saturday.
World number 47 Vesnina was overpowered and overwhelmed on Rod Laver Arena with Azarenka returning to the kind of form which carried her to the title 12 months ago.
"I felt like I was playing pretty well today," she added.
"I was focused and in control from the beginning. That was important for me.
"I feel like I'm improving from match to match. I just want to keep going the same way.
"With every match you build up, the top battles are starting now and it's exciting to be this far in the tournament."
Kuznetsova, a former world number two whose lay-off has seen her drop to 75, came through a tough three-setter with former world number one Caroline Wozniacki, winning 6-2 2-6 7-5.
And she admitted she had even surprised herself in reaching the last eight.
"If you had asked me before coming to Australia...I would have laughed," she said.
"I have been working hard but still I have not had much time to work on my fitness."
Kuznetsova has won four of her seven meetings with Azarenka but lost both in 2012 and she knows she is facing a player who has developed over the past 12 months.
"She has got calmer, more consistent," she said. "She works differently and has different goals.
"I think her head was letting her down all the time before. She would always go crazy in matches. But she's changed and become more stable."

Kirilenko was barely in the contest as the American cruised to a 6-2 6-0 win in under an hour.

To the Editor.—Reduction of warm ischemia time is important for both the successful revascularization and replantation of injured extremities, and it is considered the critical determinant of ultimate limb salvage. Several authors have advocated the use of temporary arterial shunts to minimize ischemic time while allowing unhurried débridement and fracture stabilization before definitive vascular repair.1 Most of the shunts used today must be kept in the correct position by clamps or "keepers"; however, these external fixing appliances have been shown not only to contribute to vessel wall injury but also to become dislodged occasionally and to impede other aspects of the operative procedure.
The Pruitt-Inahara shunt (Ideas for Medicine Inc, Tampa, Fla) avoids those problems and allows unimpeded and unhurried completion of the procedure. The shunt was developed and initially used as a carotid artery shunt. The use of this shunt in difficult elective vascular reconstructions has been

DERY Family
The family starts with Nicolas in the mid 1600's when the name was spelled D'HERY. His son Maurice was the last to use that spelling and from that time on it was spelled as " DRY ", however this program will not accept the accent, and when i tried to search for the correct name, it came out as "DRY" instead, completely ignoring the accented letter. So i am not sure i will be able to find others because of this short coming in the program. Most of the family is living in Quebec Provence of Canada.
My branch starts with my father and mother, Thomas-Louis Laureat Dry 1909-1980, and Violette Dorothy Charland-Dry 1908-2009.

The real reason behind all those bitesUPDATED 11:06 PM CDT Jul 06, 2014
Feeling the mosquito bites after celebrating the 4th? Why you may be a target for the summer pest.Video Transcript
BUT FIRST....THE REASON BEHIND GETTING BIT THIS SUMMER, IS IN YOUR BLOOD! HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THE BUZZING PESTS SEEM TO BITE SOME FOLKS MORE THAN OTHERS? IT'S TRUE - 40/29'S LAURA HUCKABEE TELLS US WHY. IT'S NEW TONIGHT. YOU SPRAY --- YOU BURN --- YOU SLAP --- AND STILL .... THEY BITE. sound bite from Dr. Stuart Benson / NWA Internal Medicine: " Well, it's true - however,there is a particular group of people - that appears to be more delicious to the mosquito... Laura Says IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE BUT THE BUZZING BUGS ACTUALLY PICK FAVORITES.. WHEN I WAS LITTLE, MY MOM USED TO TELL ME THEY BIT ME ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I WAS SO SWEET - NOW I KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW SWEET YOU ARE - BUT EVERYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT TYPE OF BLOOD YOU HAVE. sound bite from Dr. Stuart Benson / NWA Internal Medicine: " There is also a genetic component as to why people are bit more ------ mosquitoes prefer blood type O - and two times greater than other blood types - and then they least prefer blood type A" IF YOU'RE EASY TO FIND, YOU'RE EASY TO BITE - MOSQUITOES LOCATE YOU BY SCENT AND BY SIGHT ... THE HOTTER YOU ARE - THE HARDER YOU BREATH AND THE MORE CARBON DIOXIDE YOU EXHALE - AND MOSQUITOES CAN SMELL THAT CO2 FROM MORE THAN 100 FEET AWAY... THINK OF IT THIS WAY - THE HOTTER YOU ARE - THE BIGGER THE BULLS EYE... AND DID YOU KNOW MOSQUITOES CAN SEE COLOR? WELL, PUT IT THIS WAY - THEY MAY NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLUE AND GREEN - BUT THEY DO NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE IN LIGHT AND DARK COLORS - AND THE DARKER ONES MAKE YOU EASIER TO FIND - SO GO LIGHT. FINALLY, ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT TIMING IS EVERYTHING....... sound bite from Dr. Stuart Benson / NWA Internal Medicine: Mosquitoes tend to bite more during dusk or dawn so avoiding those particular times is somewhat helpful. " THERE'S NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO ABOUT YOUR BLOOD TYPE - BUT STAYING COOL - DRESSING IN LIGHT COLORED CLOTHING - AND AVOID THE MOSQUITO'S MAIN MEALTIMES - MIGHT BE A GOOD WAY TO STAY "ITCH" FREE.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Accessory, Pendant
|Whimsical, Romantic, Hipster, Funky
What materials did you use? This necklace is part of my Aquarius series. The vase is made with sterling silver wire and beads as well as turquoise beads. It is a 3D hollow construction and measures 1 1/4" from the rim to the point at the bottom and 1 1/4" from loop to loop on the handles. There is a chain tassel coming from the mouth of the jug, representing the water it carries. there are various turquoise beads and chips attached to this tassel, with a shell, seahorse and turtle silver charms. The chain I have used is flattened, so that it gives the impression of water glinting in the sunlight. This tassel is 2 1/4" The second tassel is attached to the bottom of the vase to add balance to the design. This tassel is 3". The whole pendant measures 5" from the loops at the top to the bottom of the longest tassel and it hangs on an 18" snake chain.
Yet again, awesome, I'm not sure I would have the patience,

A general evaluation of the hyposensitizing treatment of allergic disease is fraught with many a dilemma. On the one hand, in certain settings the decision for and implementation of this type of treatment can be as simple and unchallengable as is treatment of streptococcal infection with penicillin. On the other hand, the great number of patients who have received immense benefit from this treatment can probably be matched by an equal number of hapless victims for whom injection treatment has presented nothing but a source of pain, financial loss, and potential hazard. An estimated 10% of the population of this country is suffering from allergic disease, and the roughly 500 board certified allergists of America cannot begin to offer competent treatment for all of them.

Most of us have heard the numbers by now. Thirty percent of the generation born in the '80s and '90s check the box labeled "none" when asked about their religious affiliation. A top reason they disengage from faith is their perception that faith and science inevitably conflict.
Notre Dame sociologist Christian Smith has conducted the most substantial study of emerging adults and published the results for 18–23 year olds in his book Souls in Transition. His findings offer a stark challenge to the church:
- Is it true that "the teachings of science and religion often ultimately conflict"? More than two thirds of Smith's respondents agreed.
- Would they say, "My views on religion have been strengthened by discoveries of science"? Well more than half (57 percent) disagreed.
I'm in the minority on both counts. Because I believe Jesus is Lord of all, I'm committed to grasping and celebrating the beautiful intricacy of the created order (which, according to Psalm 19, declares God's glory). So, if science can truly uncover truth about the world, we should embrace those discoveries. Our faith might be challenged, but more often, I've discovered, it is enhanced. Indeed, one reason I came to love studying science, after being a lifelong student of literature and theology, is the amazing way scientific discoveries strengthen my faith.
But while I used to suspect that my fascination with science was something best kept out of the pulpit, I've realized that I actually have a great deal of company—especially among those young adults who have found the church door marked "Exit."
In You Lost Me: Why Young Christians Are Leaving the Church, David Kinnaman details, in six chapters, the major reasons that emerging adults (18–29 years old) are losing interest in our congregations. One chapter is simply titled, "Antiscience." The next generation sees the church as standing against the findings of science. Consider one of the most startling juxtapositions in Kinnaman's book: 52 percent of youth-group teens aspire to science-related careers like biology, chemistry, engineering, and technology, along with the medical and health-related professions. And yet how many pastors or youth workers had addressed issues of faith and science in the past year? One percent.
In the Game
The good news, I've found, is that we don't have to have all the answers to our kids' (or our own) questions about the complex intersection of science and faith. We just have to be in the game. If we're willing to address the topic, people will listen eagerly and engage with us. If we're not even attempting to address it, we leave emerging adults to assume that science and faith are not only part of separate domains, but can't ever get along.
Since 2011, 35 congregations in the United States, one in Canada, and one in France have taken up this challenge as part of a program called Scientists in Congregations. My colleague David Wood and I awarded grants to churches willing to take the dialogue between science and faith further, drawing on their own pastors and the scientists already in their congregations. So far the project has produced some amazing results, transforming stories, and a list of key topics every congregation should—and can—address:
1) How to begin the discussion of science and theology by being clearer about what science (and theology) does and doesn't claim for itself.

The Indiana University History Graduate Student Association invites proposals from graduate students in history and related fields for its annual history conference.
The HGSA conference committee invites paper submissions and panel topics related to the theme of violence and its alternatives. Cognizant that interpretations and experiences of violence vary according to time and place, the organizers welcome submissions from a variety of perspectives and periods. For example, although many Americans have only begun to think personally about terrorism and violence since September 11, 2001, for millions of people in other countries, the threat of terror and bloodshed was commonplace well before that date. Attention to non-western and pre-modern attitudes toward violence in society is especially welcome.
Given the purposes of the conference in allowing graduate students the opportunity to present their work, the theme will be construed broadly. The conference committee also encourages the organization of graduate student roundtable discussion groups to address the conference theme.
In a time when terrorism and war figure prominently in news reports and everyday discourse, historians and other scholars are inclined to examine the historical meanings and uses of violence. How has violence affected past societies, how was it justified or opposed, and what were its alternatives? How has violence been experienced or perpetuated by different groups, and to what extent has it been affected by gender roles and social norms? How have people attempted to understand and control violence? How are various forms of violence, from the state-sponsored violence of military action to the intimate realm of domestic violence, related to each other?
The deadline for submissions is Friday, March 7, 2003.
We welcome paper abstracts of 350 words or less that relate to the conference theme. Participants are also encouraged to submit proposals for panels. Please direct abstracts and any questions to either of the conference coordinators.

Comments: Shin pads are comfortable and light. The sizing for me was spot on with the sizing chart. Already took a few hard shots and I could barely feel the impact. The protection is fantastic!!
From: Chris, Spokane, WA
Comments: Matt is either optimistic about his height, or has very short legs for someone 6ft tall. I'm 5'7" and consider myself pretty proportional and the 14s fit me about perfect. The upper strap is a nice design with a pad to keep from digging into your calf but it's a little too narrow to be totally comfortable. These do have alot of protection for someone looking for a reasonable priced shin. If you've seen the inside of a hard hat, the suspension type liner is similar in operation. They are also more comfortable to me than the reebok 9ks that are more money.
From: T MAN, NJ
Comments: Absolutely amazing, comfortable, lightweight, and very protective. I got a 15" and im 6'0 and they are little large for my taste, could have gone with a 14" would be perfect. None the less great shinguards.
From: Matt, Kapolei, HI USA (Yes we play inline hockey in Hawaii)

Energio (ASX: EIO) and Oro Verde (ASX: OVL) are just two examples of companies that have made a successful transition into the still booming resources sector.
Energio began its life as a toy and gaming business for some years before it evolved into an iron ore explorer.
The attractive investment opportunity and the steep increase in the price of iron ore were drivers too great to ignore.
This week the company re-listed on the ASX, hitting the boards at the opening bell on Thursday and trading as high as $0.25 on the exchange of 3.2 million shares.
Importantly, Energio has secured itself a strong iron ore project in Nigeria with an exploration target of 1-2 billion tonnes of iron ore at a minimum of 30% iron.
What is interesting about the Agbaja Project is it continues to exceed Energio's expectations, with results coming in higher than the initial target range of 48-53% iron, indicating the strong potential for the presence of direct shipping ore.
The Agbaja licences contain magnetite in banded iron formation, along with rich oolitic deposits, with rock chip samples within the project area returning grades of up to 55% iron.
These high grade iron rock chip results are well supported by drilling, which has also returned grades of up to 55% iron.
The project is located in the Kogi State, an iron ore rich region with abundant existing reliable infrastructure, such as sealed roads and highways and rail links to the Port of Warri, and also home to the largest iron and steel factory in Nigeria.
Meanwhile, Oro Verde, in its former life, was a software and services company named Ezenet.
The company re-listed on the ASX on Friday February 3 as a gold and copper focused explorer operating in Chile.
Again, this is a company with strong projects. Among its portfolio of highly prospective bulk tonnage projects is Chuminga, which has an exploration target of 50 to 60 million tonnes of between 1% and 1.1% copper, 0.3 to 0.4 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 0.5 to 1% zinc.
Chuminga is located in a region that hosts several world class copper mines such as Mantos Blancos, Chuquicamata and BHP Billiton's (ASX: BHP) Escondida.
Oro Verde also wholly owns the Vega Project located on the El Indio gold belt, host to a number of large gold mining centres.
So far, about 50 million ounces of gold and 900 million ounces of silver have been discovered in the region.
In the healthcare space there are also a number of companies transitioning or diversifying into the resources sector.
The reason for this is generally the long timeframe it takes to get products to market and the large financial outlay to get them there.
Some companies will diversify to secure another means of potential cashflow during the development phase, while others will just opt out of the sector altogether and usually head for the cashed-up resources sector.
BPH Energy (ASX: BPH), formerly named BioPharmica, is one example of a company that diversified.
While it changed its name to reflect its investment in unlisted oil and gas company Advent Energy, it is still working to commercialise a portfolio of biomedical technologies, including its infectious disease diagnostic technology BacTrak and Brain Anaesthesia Response (BAR) monitor.
In the meantime the company has invested in Advent Energy because of its attractive portfolio of exploration and near-term production assets both on and offshore Australia.
Advent's cornerstone project lies off the coast of New South Wales and is estimated to comprise up to 13.2 trillion cubic feet of prospective recoverable gas.
The attraction of Advent and its oil and gas portfolio is the location. All permits are located next to a ready market and available infrastructure, maximising Advent's ability to optimise any resources.
BPH Energy is also still advancing its biotechnology interests, with investee company Cortical Dynamics announcing on Thursday it had recruited its first patient in an Australian clinical trial of its BAR monitor.
It is expected that a total of 20 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery will be enrolled in the trial.
The primary objective is the validation of the BAR monitor in an operating room setting where the presence of multiple artifacts are known to complicate the EEG assessment of anaesthetic action.
Investors responded well to the news with shares up 13.79% to A$0.03 on Friday.
BioProspect (ASX: BPO) has also diversified into the oil and gas space with its 50% stake in Frontier Gasfields.
Prior to its foray into the resources sector, the company was solely focused on developing products using natural plant extracts for use within the insecticide, termiticide and human health markets.
BioProspect's biotechnology projects include the AGRIPRO and GI-GUARD range of natural plant extracts for the animal health and nutrition markets, the REGEN range of personal care products and QCIDE natural insecticide.
On the oil and gas side, Frontier Resources has a number of oil and gas assets in the Philippines and China with considerable potential, providing BioPropsect with the opportunity to secure additional cashflow for its natural product development.
Last month Frontier and BioProspect spudded the Nassiping-2 re-entry well at Service Contract 52 onshore Luzon Island, Philippines.
Nassiping-2 is a previously discovered but untested gas discovery with estimated contingent resources of 35 to 350 billion cubic feet of gas.
The target Nassiping Dome is located just 700 metres from the national power grid, giving the SC52 partners the opportunity to commercialise the project by developing a medium-scale gas-fired power plant.
One company that has gone a step further and made the decision to completely transition to the resources sector is C @ Limited (ASX: CEO), formerly engaged in supplying wholesale optical frames and lenses to opticians.
In 2010, the company, which will be renamed Draig Resources, announced its intention to seek opportunities in the coal sector.
Late last year the company entered an agreement with Peabody‐Winsway Resources to acquire all of the issued capital in its subsidiary BDBL, which holds eight highly prospective Mongolian coal licences, for $7.87 million.
Importantly, the eight coal licences cover 625 square kilometres in a major emerging coal province. The region is characterised by a number of recent major black coal discoveries on the doorstep of the expanding Chinese steel and energy markets.
A number of the licences are close to existing producing assets and infrastructure with close proximity to major energy markets like China and Russia, which make the economics of this project very favourable.
As part of its technical due diligence on these licences, C @ undertook an exploration drilling program which intersected three coal seams on the Ovorhangay licences.
Initial raw coal quality tests at both Mongolian and Australian laboratories have confirmed high quality coking properties both near surface and at moderate depth, likely to be enhanced by washing.
All of the licences have had limited exploration but offer considerable potential.

Microsoft says it will play nice with patents
Turning over a new leaf, then
SOFTWARE MONOPOLIST Microsoft has announced that it wants to work with industry and its competitors in a more friendly way and will look to license its patents to them, as opposed to chase them through the courts.
This will be a shift for the firm, and it is taking a route not favoured by its competitors. Usually companies look to chase down and wring cash out of any rivals that might have borrowed their technology, but Microsoft claims it has seen the light and will open its arms to them.
"Like other leading high-tech firms, Microsoft regularly contributes to the development of industry standards. Industry standards are vitally important to the development of the Internet and to interoperability among mobile devices and other computers," said the firm sanctioned for anti-competitive practices on two continents in a statement posted to its web site yesterday.
"The international standards system works well because firms that contribute to standards promise to make their essential patents available to others on fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms. Consumers and the entire industry will suffer if, in disregard of this promise, firms seek to block others from shipping products on the basis of such standard essential patents."
Microsoft's new approach is to be more straightforward and do things like stick to promises that it has made. It said that it will adhere to the wishes of standards organisations and make its standard patents "available on fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms".
This should mean, and does mean according to Microsoft, that the firm will not pursue injunctions or exclusion orders against rivals based on those "essential patents". Microsoft said that it will make these essential patents available without requiring that anyone license them back to it.
The patents will have some future protection too, as the firm said it will not transfer them to any other organisation unless it shared the same open beliefs.
The announcement conveniently follows one from Google that took a slightly different approach. Yesterday, in letters sent to standards organisations the search firm said that it will license fairly the patents that it acquires by buying Motorola.
Google said that it will use its patents defensively rather than use them to strike out against its rivals. µ

"We are rockabilly, psychobilly and honky tonk all wrapped into one," said Walt of Hot Rod Walt and the Psycho-DeVilles.
Formed in 2002, the band has released five albums. Its latest, Rockabilly Rodeo, came out in April. Many of the songs the band will perform will be from the latest release. The band sings about hot rod cars and mean women, according to their Web site. They are based in the Atlanta area and perform in Augusta about three times a year.
"We have a good following in Augusta – a good, loyal following. We've been doing Augusta for about six years," he said. "There's a special kind of crowd that comes to see us. It's a subculture, but there are some who aren't rockabilly types."
Hot Rod Walt and the Psycho-Devilles is comprised of Hot Rod Walt on vocals and guitar, Buford T Ogletre on bass and Steve "Burnout" Barnett on drums. When not singing about hot rods, Walt also works on cars and motorcycles.
"We put on our fancy suits, pull our hair up and have good fun," Walt said.
In addition to the performance at The Loft, the band will be at Augusta Harley-Davidson, 4200 Belair Frontage Road, for the Hot Rods and Hot Dogs event around 11 a.m. Saturday, July 21.

So plenty has already been said about this, but we're going to weigh in too because it's just so ridiculous. Amazon began remotely deleting books from Kindles this morning. Illegal books? Nope. Perfectly legal versions of George Orwell's "1984″ and "Animal Farm", purchased through Amazon.
Why? Well, apparently the publisher changed their minds about having digital versions of the books available for the Kindle, reports David Pogue. Okay, that's up to them — from this point forward. But those who already paid for the books, own them. In a word, this is bullshit.
Seriously, why doesn't Amazon just come into our houses and burn the print copies as well while they're at it?
This remote deletion issue is an increasingly interesting one. Last year, Apple CEO Steve Jobs confirmed that the company has a remote "kill switch" to remove apps from your device if it thinks that is necessary. To the best of my knowledge, they have yet to use such functionality, and would only do so if there was a malicious app out there that was actually causing harm to iPhones. They have not even used it to kill some poor taste apps that were quickly removed from the App Store, like Baby Shaker.
That sounds reasonable. What Amazon is doing, is not. Yes, they credit your account with the money you paid for the book, but I don't want the money. I want the book, which I legally bought. And this follows its poor choice in making certain app makers remove their apps from the App Store that call their APIs in ways they don't like — that is to say, on mobile devices. Laughable.
Pogue and our own CrunchGear have it right in pointing out the parallels between a move like this and Orwell's own novels that are being removed. "And of course the fact that this happened to 1984, of all books, makes this even more surreal," write Gizmodo.
Big Brother is in your Kindle. Watching.
Update: As commenter Edward Virtually notes, this action is likely within Amazon's legal rights. I think that's pretty obvious or there is no way they would have done it. But that doesn't mean it's not complete and utter bullshit too. Everyone who hears about this and has a Kindle will now think twice about buying a book on there. Legal BS aside, this is Amazon shooting themselves in the foot here. Big time.
Update 2: Amazon has admitted how stupid this was, and says it won't do so in the future. But InformationWeek is reporting that the FTC may be interested in looking at Amazon's shady actions.

Convenient that they pull out the day Obama takes office?
JERUSALEM — The last Israeli troops left the Gaza Strip before dawn Wednesday, the military said, as Israel dispatched its foreign minister to Europe in a bid to rally international support to end arms smuggling into the Hamas-ruled territory.The timing of the troop pullout reflected Israel's hopes to defuse the crisis in still-volatile Gaza before President Barack Obama settled into the White House. The military said troops remain massed on the Israeli side of the border, poised for action if militants violated a fragile, three-day-old truce.The troops' exit marked the end of an Israeli offensive that ravaged Gaza and left some 1,300 Palestinians dead, at least half of them civilians, according to Gaza health officials and a Palestinian human rights group. Thirteen Israelis also died.Israel launched the war to halt years of militant rocket fire on southern Israel and to stop arms smuggling that put one-eighth of the country's population within rocket range. The death toll in Gaza provoked international outrage, but in Israel, the war was widely seen as a legitimate response to militants' attacks.The Israeli military announced Wednesday that it would investigate claims by the United Nations and human rights groups that it improperly used white phosphorous — an ingredient in weapons that inflicts horrific burns. Although the use of phosphorus weapons to mask forces is permitted by international law, Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing a war crime by using it in densely populated areas.U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon left the region early Wednesday after touring Gaza and southern Israel. Ban called for an investigation into the Israeli shelling of U.N. compounds in Gaza during the fighting, which he termed "outrageous." He also called rocket attacks against Israel "appalling and unacceptable."Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni was headed to Brussels on Wednesday, hoping to clinch a deal committing the European Union to contribute forces, ships and technology to anti-smuggling operations."She will sum up with the the EU representatives their involvement in the international handling of the problem of smuggling into the Gaza Strip," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor.An EU commitment would build on a deal the U.S. signed with Israel last week promising expanded intelligence cooperation between the two countries and other U.S. allies in the Middle East and Europe.EU officials said it was too early for that, saying providing humanitarian relief and efforts to secure a lasting cease-fire were their priorities."The situation is fragile," Javier Solana, the EU's foreign and security chief, said ahead of the meeting.In a sign of Israel's concern over a hostile international climate, government officials said Livni's departure had to be approved by Foreign Ministry legal advisers concerned she could face lawsuits over Israel's Gaza operation in Belgium, which has called for an international investigation into deadly Israeli attacks on U.N. buildings in the Gaza Strip. The trip was approved only at the last minute, they said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deliberations had not been made public.Obama called Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who runs a rival administration in the West Bank, to express his commitment to achieving peace, said Saeb Erekat, an aide to Abbas. Wednesday's call came in keeping with a promise by Obama to get involved in Mideast peacemaking from "Day One" of his presidency.In the waning days of the Bush administration, the U.S. promised to supply detection and surveillance equipment, as well as logistical help and training to Israel, Egypt and other nations in the region. The equipment and training would be used to monitor Gaza's land and sea borders.Some EU nations, notably Germany, have promised to help Israel stop the arms smuggling. The issue will likely be debated at a regular EU foreign ministers meeting scheduled next Monday.Most of the smuggling was carried out through tunnels underneath the 8-mile (15 kilometer) border between Egypt and Gaza. Egypt has proved unable or unwilling to halt the flow of weapons and medium-range rockets coming through the tunnels, alongside fuel and consumer goods.During its offensive, Israel said it destroyed most of the hundreds of tunnels in repeated bombing runs by Israeli jets. But Wednesday, smuggling was under way again.AP Television News footage showed Palestinian smugglers Wednesday filling a fuel truck with petrol that came through a cross-border tunnel from Egypt. The footage also showed workers busy clearing blocked tunnels and bulldozers carrying out other repairs.Iran has rejected the international attempt to deny Hamas weapons. In statements reported Wednesday on the Web site of Iranian state TV, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said because Israel is so well-armed, Palestinians shouldn't be barred from obtaining weapons.Iran is one of Hamas' main backers but denies Israel's claims that it arms the Palestinian group.Meanwhile, a Palestinian human rights group said it had completed its count of the death toll from the Israeli operation, citing data collected by its researchers and checked against information from hospitals and clinics.The Palestinian Center for Human Rights said a total of 1,284 Palestinians were killed and 4,336 wounded in the 23-day war. It said 894 of the dead were civilians, including 280 children or minors ages 17 and under. The PCHR was a main source of information about dead and wounded during the war.The Israeli military says 500 Palestinian militants were killed in the fighting. Gaza's militant groups say they lost 158 fighters.

The "conference" ended yesterday as the final presentations were given, however we still have 4 days left here among the sunny beaches. Today Till Adam gave a fantastic lecture-slash-hands-on-workshop of Qt's Model/View and plugin architecture. Just a couple weeks ago I was slamming my head against the desk trying to wrap my head around Qt's M/V concepts, the results of which can be seen in Amarok's new last.fm service browser. Through the creative use of roleplaying (thanks Ade, Jeff, Sebas, and Leo!) and two helpful hands-on exercises I've finally gotten a decent grasp of the system. Tomorrow morning we hope to sip QtConcurrent knowledge from the cup that is Till.
I'd write more, but the ocean is calling and I still need to get a Pina Colada. But before I go, check out some photos from the past couple days.

The goal is to create a product that people love. If people love it, they'll forgive a lot. They'll talk about it. They'll promote it. They'll come back. They'll be less price sensitive. They'll bring their friends. They'll work with you to make it better. If you can't do that, though, perhaps you can make your service or product less annoying. I understand that "love" and "annoying" are rarely two ends of the spectrum, but in this case, I think they are. I think smart marketers at Apple work to make products that people love. Smart marketers at American Airlines ought to work at making an airline that isn't annoying. Firefox used to be a product that people loved. Compared to the alternatives, it was magical. You could go on a quest to promote it and improve it. At that point, a few years ago, the Firefox movement had a choice. Either continue to make it ever more quirky and lovable (engaging a small audience, but with more passion), or work to make it less annoying (and allow it reach more people). Today, people like (not love) Firefox, they continue to use it, the spreads, but slowly. The goal has been chosen by the Firefox folks: to continue to make it less annoying. That's disappointing to the passionate, but it's a strategy. Another example: I use iCal to keep track of my schedule. It defaults new appointments to 9 am, and if the appointment isn't at 9 am, I have to manually change it. Makes sense. Problem: If the appointment is at 4 pm, and I change the 9 to a 4, iCal sets the alarm to go off at 4 am. Hey, wait a minute. I have never, ever had an appointment at 4 am. Doesn't iCal know this? Why is it so annoying! No one is ever going to love iCal as it stands, or even with some simple improvements, so why don't the engineers spend time making it less annoying instead? What could iCal do to make the product something you would love? Really love? Clearly, that would require an overhaul. What could they do to make it less annoying? 100 little things, easy to do. Example: Momofuku was a New York restaurant beloved by many people. People loved it because (not in spite of) how annoying they could be. They were annoyingly inflexible. They didn't have particularly comfortable seating, or great waiters. And the flagship restaurant makes getting a reservation almost impossible. The quirkiness was part of the deal. Something to talk about when you brought a friend... If all they did was think of ways to be less annoying, the restaurant wouldn't get better for the people who loved it, it would get worse. Unfortunately, they got really popular, forgot what made them lovable and crossed a line. The annoying parts got really annoying, and they forgot to dream up new ways to be beloved. I gave up. It flipped and I hate it now. It's unloved and annoying. Boy are customers like me fickle. Think of the pretty ordinary things you do or places you go. Could they be less annoying? What if the marketers there spent time and money to eliminate annoying? No, it's not the sort of big time stuff that leads to love, but they're probably not going to get to love anyway. I'm not going to love my dry cleaner or the post office. But if they made them less annoying, I'd spend more money and go more often. Face it, you use Fedex because it's less annoying than the post office, not because you love them. I think there's a chasm here. You don't go for love and end up with less annoying. You need to do one or the other. There are products and services I love that are annoying, but that's okay, because that's part of being in love. And there are products and services that are annoyance-free, but I don't love them. That's okay too. I like them just fine. Put a sign on your office door, or send a memo to the team. It should say either, "Everything we do needs to make our product less annoying" or "Everything we do should be and engage people and invite them to fall in love with us. That's not easy, which is why it's worth it." Can't have both. Must do one.
