BEIJING (AP) The white towel fluttered in his opponent's corner. Zou Shiming had forced his final surrender.
Winning gold turned out to be easier than the 106-pound strongman ever imagined. After barely throwing an angry punch Sunday before his opponent quit, Zou was China's first Olympic boxing champion.
His warbling, tear-soaked rendition of the national anthem would have been a perfect coda to a remarkable games for China, which notched its 50th gold medal with the light flyweight's long-expected win. Zou saw his monastic dedication and self-inflicted pressure as a miniature echo of China's labors in staging an ideal games.
Both Zou and Beijing delivered a fitting finale with a nifty 50 - but then two hours after Zou ascended the podium, light heavyweight Zhang Xiaoping crashed the coronation by winning China's 51st and final gold medal.
China had one last gold for the road - to London and beyond for amateur boxing's big new player.
After Zou's well-chronicled four years of nervous anticipation, the two-time world champion got his easiest bout last. Mongolia's Serdamba Purevdorj couldn't keep fighting early in the second round because of a lingering shoulder injury, leading his corner to literally throw in the towel.
"The (final fight) makes it look like I easily won the gold medal, but there was much work and preparation that went into this," Zou said. "It's regrettable that I couldn't be more entertaining to my fans in the gold medal bout, but most important is to get the gold medal, which I did."
Although Zou won without many style points in Beijing, the adoring Workers' Gymnasium crowd gave one last grateful roar for its tiny trailblazer. Four years ago, Zou won China's first bronze medal in a sport banned by its government from 1959 to 1986 for its decadent Western flavor.
While Zou sweated his way through a difficult tournament, Zhang nimbly slipped past several better-pedigreed opponents. After knocking off two medal favorites in the early rounds, he beat Kenny Egan of Ireland 11-7 in the final, leaving another opponent claiming favoritism toward the Chinese fighters in Beijing.
"I think the (judges) got it right," Zhang said. "I believe even if this fight was in Ireland, the result would be the same."
Although Italian super heavyweight Roberto Cammarelle crushed China's hopes for a third gold medal by flattening Zhang Zhilei in the final bout, the Chinese haul of four total medals was just fine with the hosts.
Russia matched China's double-gold performance with a victory by lightweight Alexey Tishchenko, his second Olympic gold after winning at featherweight in Athens. Mongolian bantamweight Badar-Uugan Enkhbat and Kazakh welterweight Bakhyt Sarsekbayev both beat Cuban boxers to earn their first Olympic titles.
Cuba led the Olympic field with eight total medals - but no golds for the first time in a games it didn't boycott since 1968. The Val Barker Trophy for the Olympics' most outstanding and stylistic boxer went to Vasyl Lomachenko of Ukraine, who won the featherweight title Saturday.
Zou was the first man in the ring for the final day of fights in Beijing. He spent the last two weeks at home instead of living in the athletes' village, eating McDonald's hamburgers and pizza in a hilariously misguided attempt to keep down his weight by avoiding the Chinese food he finds too greasy.
"Even last night, when I was sleeping, I thought about what I should do if I fell behind, and what I should do if I took the lead," Zou said.
Right before climbing on the medal podium, Zou choked up when the announcer said "China." He then held the gold aloft to all four sides of the ring, soaking in cheers.
Zou has become one of China's most recognizable athletes with his world titles, and his star might rise even further if he attempts to become China's first successful pro boxer since the sport's ban was lifted.
"What I want to do most is share the joy of the victory with my coach (Zhang Chuanliang)," Zou said. "In the last four years, he has done a lot for me. I really appreciate that, and now he's getting old."
In the final questionable result of a tournament full of judging criticism, hundreds of singing, green-and-orange-clad fans couldn't make the judges count any of Egan's sharp punches against Zhang. Egan dropped to his knees and elbows in visible frustration after the bout, and he kissed Zhang's gold medal on the podium.
Cammarelle left nothing to the judges in the tournament's final bout, plugging Zhang Zhilei with a series of combinations for his second Olympic medal.
Though Enkhbat isn't a flashy fighter, his run to the gold medal - just Mongolia's second in any sport - was among the tournament's most impressive, with five victories by a combined 70-15.
While Cuba struggled late, Russia's problems began well before the final weekend with a shocking series of upsets. They still added Tishchenko's championship to heavyweight Rakhim Chakhkiev's title on Saturday.
Tishchenko is just the fourth boxer in Olympic history to win gold in two weight classes.
"The responsibility was really getting to me," Tishchenko said. "No team had got more than two gold medals in boxing, and my win brought Russia's second gold. Now we can say that the total performance of the team was successful."

The Higher Education Act of 1965 as amended (HEA) suspends aid eligibility for students who have been convicted under federal or state law of the sale or possession of drugs if the offense occurred during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving federal student aid (grants, loans and/or work-study). The student self-certifies in applying for aid that he is eligible.
Convictions only count if they were for an offense that occurred during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving Title IV aid — they do not count if the offense was not during such a period. Also, a conviction that was reversed, set aside or removed from the student's record does not count, nor does one received when she was a juvenile, unless she was tried as an adult.
The chart below illustrates the period of ineligibility for FSA funds, depending on whether the conviction was for sale or possession and whether the student had previous offenses. (A conviction for sale of drugs includes convictions for conspiring to sell drugs.)
Possession of Sale of
illegal drugs illegal drugs
1st offense 1 year from date of conviction 2 years from date of
2nd offense 2 years from date of conviction Indefinite period
3+ offenses Indefinite period
If the student was convicted of both possessing and selling illegal drugs, and the periods of ineligibility are different, the student will be ineligible for the longer period.
The Higher Education Opportunity Act established the requirement for schools to provide each student who becomes ineligible for Title IV aid due to a drug conviction a clear and conspicuous written notice of his loss of eligibility and the methods whereby he can become eligible again.
A student regains eligibility the day after the period of ineligibility ends, or when he successfully completes a qualified drug rehabilitation program or passes two unannounced drug tests given by such a program. Further drug convictions will make him ineligible again.
Students denied eligibility for an indefinite period can regain it only after successfully completing a rehabilitation program as described below, passing two unannounced drug tests from such a program, or if a conviction is reversed, set aside or removed from the student's record so that fewer than two convictions for sale or three convictions for possession remain on the record. In such cases, the nature and dates of the remaining convictions will determine when the student regains eligibility. It is the student's responsibility to notify the Office of Financial Aid that she has successfully completed the rehabilitation program.
When a student regains eligibility during the award year, students may be awarded Pell, TEACH and campus-based aid for the current payment period and Direct Loans for the period of enrollment.
Standards for a qualified drug rehabilitation program
A qualified drug rehabilitation program must include at least two unannounced drug tests and must satisfy at least one of the following requirements:
• Be qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly from a federal, state or local government program.
• Be qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state-licensed insurance company.
• Be administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court.
• Be administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic or medical doctor.

Does Quercetin Work?
Ask the Coach
I'll be training hard this winter for a spring race but am concerned about picking up training-squashing bugs. ...
Illustration by Jeremy Duncan
I'll be training hard this winter for a spring race but am concerned about picking up training-squashing bugs. Is there anything to that Quercetin stuff?
—Juan Martinez, New York, NY
Evidence supporting Quercetin's immunity-boosting qualities is increasing. Recent studies by David Nieman, Ph.D., an internationally known immunity researcher, marathon runner and Western States 100 researcher, found that combining the plant-based flavenoid (an antioxidant) with green-tea extract, vitamin C, niacin and fish oil proved the most effective as an immunity aid.
Published in the American College of Sport Medicine's July 2009 journal, the study reported that subjects who took the supplement for two weeks prior to heavy exercise had a stronger immune system and reduced inflammation and oxidative stress, says Nieman.
"Quercetin alone does not have nearly the beneficial effects of mixing it with some nutrients," he said.
Bottom line, just popping a Quercetin tab or sucking down some sports drink with it may not get results. Tip: Nieman says he's heard rumors of a Quercetin chew with the green-tea-C-niacin mixture being developed.

Amazon Busy Digging Its Own Grave
In order to lower the time between a customer pushing the "order submit" button and delivery, Amazon must sacrifice a portion of the efficiency that allows it to remain competitive against retail stores. Instead of focusing on costs, Amazon is moving closer to the retail model.
Is the retail or near-retail market really the place Amazon wants to go? Amazon must know the competitive landscape in retail is significantly different from mail order.
Best Buy's (BBY) primary business model is retail, and we can see how that has worked against lower-cost online competitors Amazon and eBay (EBAY) . But is it only "showrooming" from Amazon's customers inside Best Buy that resulted in lower revenue and earnings for Best Buy? I believe Best Buy's greatest competitive environment is from other retailers, not Amazon.
Other stores appear to sell the same or similar products. Target (TGT) , Sears (SHLD) and the retail elephant Walmart (WMT) offer the lion's share of products available in Best Buy.
Instead of focusing on cost control, improving margins and remaining competitive on price, Amazon is counting on greater sales (and maybe earnings) from falling delivery times. Amazon is losing its greatest competitive advantage.
If you regularly buy products on eBay and Amazon, you know many of the products are offered by the same merchants and Amazon allows third-party sellers to list products.
What you may not know is that the selling fees for eBay average less than the selling fees on Amazon. This is why you may have found the same item sold by the same merchant for more on Amazon than on eBay. Amazon's merchant fees are gravy compared to selling its own products, and are needed to have an expansive inventory.
However, when checking the same merchant's price on eBay or the merchant's Web site is only a click away, the ability for Amazon to increase margins is naturally constrained. Why should Amazon investors anticipate higher share prices if product sales margins and merchant fees remain under pressure?
My good friend Rocco Pendola correctly pointed out in Apple Competes With Its Unwritten Future that investors of almost all timeframes have made money.
One very popular investing style that never appears to go out of fashion is the musical chair method. I refer to it as the Thanksgiving turkey theory of investing. If you read "Fooled by Randomness" and "The Black Swan" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, you know how this investment thesis concludes.

About the Author: Ambassador Eric Goosby serves as U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator.
The State Department's initial Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR) has been a remarkable undertaking. Secretary Clinton deserves enormous credit for fulfilling her vision of elevating development as an equal partner in the critical platform of defense, diplomacy and development.
At the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC), responsible for implementing the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program, we see in our work each day the real benefits that smart development efforts bring to people across the globe. Simply put, the United States' health and development efforts promote stability and security while improving and saving lives. Our country's investment in the bipartisan PEPFAR program has led to remarkable results. We're supporting treatment for more than 3.2 million people and care for more than 11 million. We supported antiretroviral prophylaxis to more than 600,000 pregnant women living with HIV in fiscal year 2010 alone. As a result over 114,000 babies were born free of HIV.
We've come a long way since PEPFAR was launched by President George W. Bush in 2003. Thanks to the leadership of both President Bush and President Barack Obama and outstanding support from both sides of the aisle in Congress, the investments that the United States is making in fighting HIV/AIDS are reaping real dividends. Not only have the interagency activities of PEPFAR been successful in delivering life-saving services, but these activities support the principles of the Global Health Initiative (GHI): strengthening health systems, investing in country ownership and focusing on women, girls, and gender equality through strong interagency and collaboration. And now it's time to capitalize on those dividends through GHI, which will allow us to connect and maximize the impact of our health investments, building on the foundation of PEPFAR.
As part of the QDDR process, we will be making some changes in the structure of GHI in order to improve our coordination, make our investments more cost-effective, and better integrate our efforts to strengthen our partner countries' abilities to sustain progress over time. The Secretary will be hiring an Executive Director to report to her and the Operations Committee -- the USAID Administrator, the CDC Director, and me -- and assist us with the transition of this Initiative to USAID. This position will initially be housed at State and will eventually transition to USAID as part of our overall efforts to strengthen USAID's capacity, while continuing to report to the Operations Committee. We'll also be working to strengthen the interagency nature of our work, and are committing to benchmarks to help us make the most of our whole-of-government efforts in the health arena. GHI will transition to USAID once it has established the capacity and structures to support a coordinated, inclusive, whole-of-government effort for GHI.
These changes will not alter my role in leading PEPFAR, a duty established by Congress, nor will they move the coordination of the program out of the State Department or change the interagency model that has been so successful. However, these changes will help better integrate and link U.S. investments in communities impacted by HIV to the broader health and development investments in the developing world. Ultimately, the U.S. government will be better positioned to ensure a collaborative interagency effort, and make our investments more effective in saving money and saving lives. As Secretary Clinton said yesterday, " … we will build up our civilian power: the combined force of civilians working together across the U.S. government to practice diplomacy, carry out development projects, and prevent and respond to crises. Many different agencies contribute to these efforts today. But their work can be more unified, more focused, and more efficient."
The QDDR is a reminder of how important advancing global health is to our economic and national security. Over the last few months, I've talked a lot about how we have a shared responsibility to make smart investments that will promote security and save lives. That's a job that PEPFAR takes seriously. In doing so, we look forward to working with Congress, our partners across the U.S. government, other donor nations and partner countries, civil society, the private sector and all those committed to ensuring that PEPFAR continues on our path of defeating AIDS once and for all.
Jitendra S. in India writes:
Respected sirs I wish to state that the hooch tragedy which has killed more than 150 people in Gujarat recently, I want to draw your attention about the another aspect of that accident, I want to remind you that as we all know very well that our state Gujarat is already on the hit list of terrorists and because of the liquor prohibition policy of our state govt. daily thousands of bottles in trucks of English liquor illegally made in our neighboring states and are supplied to our state. and whole of this network is operated by liquor bootleggers and mafias who can fall in to the hands of terrorists at any time and terrorists can supply a lot of poisonous liquor and can kill a largest number of innocent people any time and this will be comparatively easy and effective way for them. So I want to request you to establish the responsibility that who will be sole responsible for the accident if it takes place. Because directly govt is only responsible to first implement the liquor prohi. policy then to allow mafias to smuggle liquor in to the state, the smuggling of liquor is not possible without the cooperation of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats therefore I request you to accept my this request as a PRL and give the right directives to govt. so any major accident can be avoided. Respected sirs I am giving you some more aspects of this policy so please consider my that letter also a request to you which is as follows:-
Respected sirs ,please consider the following points in the aspect of relevancy of liquor prohibition policy of Gujarat and direct the govt. to rethink over it.. [1] Though the liquor prohibition policy is there in force in Gujarat but three times more liquor is being sold here compare to any other state of India .[2]Local gujarat govt. justifies this policy by saying that because this is the Gandhi's Gujarat therefore we implemented this policy here, on moral grounds. But today we have to think that who they are to say that Gujarat's Gandhi or Gandhi's Gujarat. Gandhi is the father of nation and whole nation is Gandhi's. Gandhi struggled for whole India and he never said that he is for Gujarat or Gujarat is for him so today we have to think that Don't we put question mark on his thinking by saying Gandhi's Gujarat.? And after all finally we have to think that Gandhi never taught us the lesson to move on morality by crushing humanity . [4] The transaction of millions of rupees has been criminalized which money moves within the liquor mafia and corrupted officers and politicians only. If this policy is demolished the same money will come in the market to the businessmen and even youths will get a new field to earn and get employment .[5] on the name of country liquor which liquor is being made and being sold here, millions of people are drinking that is made by car battary's acid, detergent soaps water, saltpeter(anum) or ( FITKARI),and Gud(brown sugar).Now it can be understood that drinking such liquor can be how much harmful. This liquor causes the liver diseases, tuberculosis, and other so many skin diseases also.[6] This is the totally failed and unsuccessful policy which violates our religious and human rights because we hindus think we have the right to worship our god Kal bhairav but we cant do so because liquor is required to worship the same god .but we cant get liquor because of this Islamic policy is implemented on our heads.
Respected sirs I wish to state that there are 5 crore people living in Gujarat state of India in which about thirty percent people consume liquor. Still the liquor prohibition policy is in force there. Due to this policy now you can imagine how a big number of people is consuming the poisonous liquor regularly and how big damage the society is bearing due to this policy, we tell the people that this is the policy which does not give anything to society but only crime corruption and diseases. We request all the electronic and print media to understand the seriousness of this matter and give the coverage to us and our voice. But we are neglected everywhere. only because we have no big funds to advertise ourself . but hereby I would like to request you to remind you that the time when they neglect us really they don't neglect us but they neglect a large number of innocent people of Gujarat who are bearing the torture of this policy and are drinking poison with keeping mum because they don't know where to go and whom to ask for their help, at last finally we look at you with the hope of some help from you. But your ignorance to us and such policy of killing the innocents with slow poison will make us more nervous. Therefore once again we request you to reconsider our request and to do needful.
(copy to you)

Public records humor? Yep ... watch this video
The Columbus Dispatch - April 28, 2014 02:24 PM
This is hilarious – and true. And, it involves public records, which typically aren't good for many laughs.
A Hollywood writer and movie director has created a new online feature for The New York Times in which he crafts a verbatim video around transcripts from court cases.
The debut video involves an Ohio Supreme Court case in which an incredulous lawyer (David Marburger of Cleveland in real life) questions a Cuyahoga County recorder's office employee who refuses to concede he knows what a photocopier is. Hilarity ensues.
The deposition that led to the video was part of a 2012 ruling from the Ohio Supreme Court that decided, no; the recorder's office could not charge $2 a page for records – whether on paper or in digital form on a CD.
The office had sought to charge $208,564 for a record-filled CD. The court said the CD should cost one buck.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Sept. 25, 2008) – The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team got 30 points from Evan Patak (Pleasanton, Calif.), but it was not enough as Argentina defeated Team USA, 25-17, 16-25, 25-16, 17-25, 15-13, on Thursday at the America's Cup tournament in Cuiaba, Brazil.
With two losses, the United States will finish third in Pool A and will play either Venezuela or Mexico for fifth place at 6 p.m. PDT on Saturday. Brazil defeated Venezuela in Pool B competition on Thursday, 25-20, 25-19, 25-16. Argentina will play Cuba on Friday to determine the winner of Pool A.
Patak's 30 points on Thursday came on a match-high 26 kills, three aces and one block. Scott Touzinsky (St. Louis, Mo.) scored 14 points on 12 kills, one block and one ace. Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.) added eight points on seven kills and one block.
Delano Thomas (Sacramento, Calif.), Jonathan Winder (Irvine, Calif.) and Phil Eatherton (Glencoe, Mo.) each scored three points. Andrew Hein (Carol Stream, Ill.) and Nils Nielsen (Fallbrook, Calif.) each added two points.
Libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) was credited with 12 digs.
U.S. Head Coach Ron Larsen (Lafayette, Calif.) started Anderson and Touzinsky at outside hitter, Thomas and Eatherton at middle blocker, Patak at opposite, Winder at setter and Lambourne as the designated libero. Hein started the fourth and fifth sets at middle blocker for Thomas. Nielsen, Jayson Jablonsky (Yorba Linda, Calif.) and Brook Billings (Santa Barbara, Calif.) all played as substitutes.
The United States converted 54 out of 127 attack attempts into points while Argentina went 53 for 131. Each team had six aces. Argentina out-blocked the U.S. Men 11-5.
After the teams split the first four sets, the United States took a 7-4 lead in the fifth , including two kills and an ace from Patak, a kill and block by Touzinsky and a block by Hein. Argentina came back to tie it at 7-7, but the U.S. led 8-7 when the teams changed sides thanks to Argentina's serving error.
The teams battled back and forth until the score was tied 13-13. Argentina took the lead with a kill and ended the match with a block.
The first set saw Argentina lead 8-3 at the first technical timeout and 16-9 at the second. The United States never cut the deficit to less than five points after that.
However the United States came storming back in the second set to lead 8-3 at the first technical timeout and 16-7 at the second. Team USA reached set point first at 24-16 and a Thomas kill won the set. The United States converted 61 percent of its hitting attempts into points in the set and had 73 percent "excellent" serve receptions.
It was Argentina's turn again in the third set as it took an 8-6 lead at the first technical timeout and extended it to 16-12 at the second. Coming out of the timeout, it scored three more straight points until a service error stopped it. But later, with Argentina leading 20-14, it scored four straight points to reach set point. The U.S. held off the loss with two kills by Nielson, but it was too little, too late.
Team USA led the fourth set 8-6 at the first technical timeout of the fourth set. Argentina scored three straight points to take a 9-8 lead and the two teams battled until the score was tied at 12-12. Three kills by Patak along with Argentine hitting errors put the United States up 15-12. Argentina scored once to make it 15-13. But Team USA followed up by scoring the next five straight points, including a kill and two aces by Patak to make it 20-13. The United States went on to win and force a fifth set. The U.S. Men had 85 percent "excellent" service receptions in the fourth set and converted 64 percent of their attacks into points.

Ex-Laker Jamison Joins Clippers
The Clippers continued to build a deep and talented roster this week by signing veteran forward Antwan Jamison.
After playing for the Lakers last season Jamison became a free agent. He is expected to take Lamar Odom's place in the Clippers' plans as a reserve on the front line.
Jamison will be in his 15th NBA season. He signed a one-year contract for $1.4 million, a low number by NBA standards. That's the same amount he played for last season.
Jamison had differences with Lakers' coach Mike D'Antoni over playing time.
"Hopefully I can be the piece that takes us to the top," said Jamison, recognizing the highly regarded Clippers faltered in last season's playoffs, losing in the first round to Memphis.
The Clippers will open the season Oct. 29 against the Lakers at Staples Center as the visiting team and will be home two nights later against Golden State.

This bra got me through the North Face Endurance
challenge, which I ran on the wrong course because the race marshall directed about 50 people up the wrong trail.
Alice's Pick · 34C
I size up a band size because this bra runs a little small. I prefer bras with compression and that's what this gives me. The clasp allows me to pull it on and off without getting a second workout.

Topic: How to Get Website Traffic
Chances are, if you have a website or a blog, you'd like to get website traffic. You put information on the Internet because you want people to see it. However, once you got your site or blog up and running, you realized that the hard part was still to come -- getting visitors to your site. Easily get website traffic to your little place on the Web using the right techniques.
1 Publish high-quality content. Before you attempt to get website traffic, you should first make sure that you publish great content that people will want to come back to again and again.
2 Join forums that relate to your topic. If you have a site about guitars, join forums that are full of others who like guitars. Put your website in your signature and get involved. Don't leave spam; instead, become a trusted member of the forum. Answer questions, start conversations and make friends. After you do that, then you can start to link to your website in the forum when it's appropriate.
3 Exchange links with other high-quality websites. Back-links are an important part of getting website traffic. Google rates sites higher if other sites link to them.
4 Use social networking to your advantage. List your website on Facebook, Twitter, and any other social networking sites that you are a member of. Search for other members who have the same interest as you. Get involved in groups that relate to your niche.
5 Use a newsletter to connect with your visitors. Once you have visitors to your site, you've got to offer them ways to stay in touch with you. Send out weekly or monthly ezines. Offer your visitors plenty of opportunities to sign up.
6 Continue to promote your site over time. It takes time and patience to build traffic. That means that you have to constantly engage in promoting your website. Spending one week trying to promote your site and then forgetting about it isn't going to do you a bit of good. Continue to work to get website traffic over a long period of time of Austrian Shades.

My favorite artists that remind me of the Beatles and Macca are the obvious choice, Badfinger...and the somewhat obscure Emitt Rhodes. If you haven't heard anything by Emitt Rhodes, get ahold of his 1st album (the self titled Emitt Rhodes, from 1970) and it bears a striking resemblance to the solo McCartney album. Emitt plays all the instruments, does the vocals, a-la McCartney on his self titled 1970 McCartney album. You must hear it, if you like McCartney. And Badfinger speaks for itself...tremendous.
Are there any others you recommend for Beatles and Macca fans?

In addition, industry would like to avoid short term overly-reactive decisions and appropriately manage the risk and uncertainty associated with long term investments. From a network perspective, the future demands modernisation of Australia's electricity networks, transforming them to become so called "Smart Grids". This will enable a transition from passive to active consumer and empowered participant who can contribute to minimising future long term price rises. This paper argues that, due to the far reaching benefits on offer, there is justification to accelerate the modernisation and automation of the electricity grid and to promote competitive consumer engagement. There are, however, impediments to the transition and this paper makes recommendations to overcome them.

Objective Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a small vessel disease of the brain caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. CADASIL progresses, in some cases, to subcortical dementia with a particular cognitive impairment. Different diseases in the dementia spectrum share a central cholinergic and sensorimotor plasticity alteration. We aimed to study different intracortical circuits and sensorimotor plasticity in CADASIL patients using transcranial magnetic stimulation protocols, and to determine whether these characteristics correlated with the results of clinical neuropsychological evaluation.
Methods Ten CADASIL patients and 10 healthy subjects were included in the study. All subjects underwent a transcranial magnetic stimulation study examining different intracortical circuits. Sensorimotor plasticity was also assessed using a paired associative stimulation and extensive neuropsychological tests.
Results CADASIL patients showed a lack of intracortical facilitation, short latency afferent inhibition and sensorimotor plasticity when compared with control subjects. CADASIL patients also showed an altered neuropsychological profile. Correlation between sensorimotor plasticity and neuropsychological alterations was observed in CADASIL patients.
Conclusions These results suggest that acetylcholine and glutamate could be involved in the dementia process in CADASIL and that abnormal sensorimotor plasticity correlates with the neuropsychological profile in CADASIL patients.

I wrote the new book Wetland Restoration and Construction-A Technical Guide to help you build successful wetlands, and at a low cost. The volume is designed to encourage and help individuals build wetlands for waterfowl and other wildlife species. Its contents are based my experiences restoring over 1,400 wetlands in 18-States and two Canadian Provinces. You will find practical, low cost, highly effective techniques for building wetlands that will require little, if any maintenance.
The chapters clearly explain how to select suitable locations for building wetlands, the best techniques to use, what types of heavy equipment are needed, and how to oversee construction and planting. Of special interest to Ducks Unlimited members are the pages showing how wetlands can be designed to provide habitat to waterfowl and shorebirds. Other sections describe how wetlands can be built at schools for science education, on mined areas for cleaning run-off, as a means of closing old roads, and how wetlands that are not performing can be repaired.
Containing over 650 color photographs and drawings, the book is published by The Wetland Trust in partnership with the Upper Susquehanna Coalition, Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (PARC), and the Center for Wetlands and Stream Restoration. Individuals may visit www.thewetlandtrust.org/wetlandrestoration to take advantage of the introductory price of only $15.50 per copy, which also includes postage. The book features many wetlands that were restored for waterfowl using Ducks Unlimited funding.

Chief executive officer of ARM Holdings, a leading developer of mobile microprocessor technologies, said that Intel Corp.'s latest Medfield system-on-chip is "good enough" for smartphones and the company considers Intel a "serious competitor". But ARM claims that Intel will never be a leader of the mobile chip market since power consumption of its chips is just too high.
"It is inevitable Intel will get a few smartphone design wins – we regard Intel as a serious competitor. Are they ever going to be the leaders in power efficiency? No, of course not. But they have a lot more to offer," said Warren East, chief executive officer of ARM, in an interview with Reuters.
ARM continues to offer both energy-efficient and cost-efficient designs for a broad amount of mobile devices, from simplistic feature phones to powerful media tablets. At present ARM architecture is licensed by 275 chipmakers. Intel's one Medfield chip will not change the trend, moreover, since it still consumes more power than ARM-based system-on-chips, it will not find broad adoption due to battery life constraints it brings.
"They (Intel) have taken some designs that were never meant for mobile phones and they have literally wrenched those designs and put them into a power-performance space which is roughly good enough for mobile phones. […] People want to do more things with their phones, but battery size remains constant. It is like having a car with a fixed-size fuel tank and you want to drive 100 more miles. You've got to make the engine more efficient. That is what we do for a living," added Mr. East.
Intel has a number of ways to substantially reduce power consumption of its microprocessors over time. Firstly, the company is adding special low-power states to its chips along with other logical methods to reduce consumption of energy. Secondly, Intel is rapidly transiting from one process technology to another and that automatically cuts power requirements. Thirdly, Intel is designing novel ultra low-power circuits under its Near-Threshold Voltage Processor project to use them in future central processing units (CPUs). Finally, other technologies can also be used to cut down power consumption.

Cookie dough makes me feel like a messy girl with pigtails, beaters, and a big grin – all over again! I love cupcake batter, but cookie dough is in a class of its own. Sadly, it's probably not the safest idea for me to down gobs of raw cookie dough containing raw egg in my pregnant state.
The good news is that making cookie dough that is egg-free and totally safe to eat is incredibly easy. Because you aren't going to be baking the cookie dough, you don't need to worry at all about getting proportions just right, sifting, or the order of incorporating ingredients into the dough. You just dump all the ingredients in a bowl, mix, and you're done.
What to Do With Raw Cookie Dough
There are countless things to do with raw cookie dough. Some ideas are:
- Mix it with vanilla ice cream for your own homemade cookie dough ice cream.
- Swirl it in with fudge for some cookie dough fudge.
- Spread a layer of it in between two cakes instead of frosting. This would be awesome with cheesecake.
- Just leave it sitting around with a spoon and eat some periodically.
- Make cookie dough cupcakes.
Products Related to This Cookie Dough
Raw Cookie Dough Recipe
I used the recipe for my cacao nib cookies as a base for the raw cookie dough recipe. To make it egg-less, I used milk to replace the moisture from the eggs. It worked perfectly!
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- Any amount of any mix-in you'd like - I used cacao nibs, but chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit would all work.
- Mix all ingredients in a big bowl. That's it!

Smashed windows, chaotic confrontation near inauguration
Crystal Falls officials seek funding to repair city hall
By NIKKI YOUNK
Staff Writer
CRYSTAL FALLS – At 99 years old, Crystal Falls' city hall is showing its age.
Although there are many parts of the building that Crystal Falls City Manager Dorothea Olson would like to spruce up for its centennial next year, there is one issue that requires immediate attention.
One of the glass block walls in the second-floor auditorium is bowing in to the point that the window in the center cannot be properly closed. Two other glass block walls may be starting to bow in, as well.
"It's definitely changed since last year," Olson pointed out. "It's getting worse."
Olson is concerned that the glass block wall could collapse and be a hazard to anyone walking on the sidewalk below. The wall is located on the east side of the building, just above the entrances to the police department and fire hall.
To address the issue, Olson formed a building committee with mayor Janet Hendrickson and city council member Jack Bicigo.
Committee members recently toured the building in order to prioritize maintenance needs. They agreed that the glass block wall is the number one problem.
The committee is currently soliciting for proposals from engineering firms to design and oversee the repair of the glass block wall. A preliminary estimate from a structural engineer put the cost between $30,000 and $40,000.
"The immediate concern is safety," Olson explained. "We have to fix it regardless of any anniversary celebrations."
Other auditorium maintenance issues noted by the building committee included a weak hardwood floor with boards that bend down when stepped on, water damage from a previous leak in the roof, and cracked ceiling plaster in the balcony area.
Fresh paint is also needed throughout the interior of the building.
The city does not have enough funds to complete all of the additional updates, but grant money may be available if the city hall can get on the National Register of Historic Places.
In the past, the building's auditorium hosted plays, performances, and dances. Up until about five years ago, Forest Park High School used the space for its annual prom.
Now, use of the auditorium is restricted. The Harbour House museum utilizes some of the space for storage, but no large groups are allowed to come in.
"Do we let it deteriorate or do we do something with it?" Olson asked.
Olson said that the city is also looking at possibly having the city hall included in a larger historic district.
The Crystal View Apartments complex, which is located directly across Superior Avenue from city hall, and the Iron County Courthouse, which is located a few blocks to the west of city hall, are already on the historic register.

Norma,That would be nice if you are finally able to sample the Marghertia coarse grind pepperoni. At the same time, you might be able to confirm whether Buddy's is still using that product.BTW, the Carando pepperoni you have tried is also a John Morrell product: http://johnmorrellfoodgroup.com/foodservice-page/companies/carando. If you are able to get a sample of the Margherita product, you might be able to compare it with the Carando pepperoni if you still have some of that product left.Peter
Norma,Out of curiosity, when you and Steve had the real Buddy's cheese and pepperoni pizza recently, did you sample a part of the crust all by itself, that is, without anything else on it and, if so, could you taste the salt?Peter
I didnt try to isolate part of the crust to taste, but I didnt think it was as favorable as the crusts I have been making on this thread. I tried to taste the Buddys pizza little by little and tried to savor each bite. I sure dont know if not a lot of flavor in the crust was because of the crust being half-baked or not. The cardboard liner that was under the half baked Buddys pizza was greasy though. I had thought about how I could try to tell what that oil was that Buddys used, but thought there was no way I was going to figure that out. I did try to rub my finger over the cardboard and taste it, but there was no taste. Also, I would believe Buddys crust would taste better right out of the oven at Buddys because of it partly frying in the steel pan.Steve did post though in Reply 553 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,21559.msg225660.html#msg225660 that he isolated a part of the crust on the Buddys pizza and found it not to have much flavor at all.I am curious why you asked. Is that a reason for asking if Steve and I could taste the salt in the crust?
Norma,I intentionally did not tell you why I was asking about the salt in the Buddy's crust because I did not want to bias your response or Steve's response. However, yesterday I went back to the Buddy's Nutrition data at http://www.buddyspizza.com/nutrition.asp?Category=3 to do a sodium analysis. All I was looking for was to see if I could get an idea as to whether Buddy's uses a lot of salt or a little salt in its dough used to make the basic square pizzas. For my analysis, I looked for the smallest and simplest component of a Buddy's pizza. That component is a single slice of a Buddy's square cheese pizza.If you look at the Buddy's Nutrition data, you will see that a single slice of a Buddy's square cheese pizza contains 403 mg of sodium. To put that number into perspective, it is equivalent to 0.173 teaspoons of salt. For a full 4-square pizza with four slices, the total sodium content would be 1612 mg. That is equivalent to 0.693 teaspoons of salt. That would be for all sources of sodium: the brick cheese, the sauce, the flour and the dough. To do another comparison, a slice of a Papa John's cheese pizza with a surface area similar to that of a single slice of Buddy's cheese pizza has 720 mg of sodium. So, if the Buddy's Nutrition data is to be believed, there is not a lot of salt in a Buddy's cheese pizza and quite possibly little or none in the crust if the following analysis is anywhere near correct. You will recall that we were told by Buddy's (see Reply 470 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3783.msg220496.html#msg220496) that it uses approximately 2 ounces of brick cheese for each slice. Elsewhere, we read that Buddy's uses 15 ounces ("almost 1 lb", according to Buddy's) for its larger 8-square pizza. If we extrapolate that amount of cheese to a single slice, it is 1.875 ounces of brick cheese. Brick cheeses can contain varying amounts of sodium, through the addition of varying amounts of salt. For the Foremost brick cheese, for 1.875 ounces, the amount of sodium is 1.875 x 180 = 337.5 mg. According to the Nutrition Facts for the Eddie's brick cheese that you used and presented at Reply 72 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,21559.msg220464.html#msg220464, the corresponding amount of sodium would be 1.875 x 160 = 300 mg. That is in line with a generic brick cheese as noted at the SelfNutritionData website at http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/4/2. The next step of the analysis is to examine the sodium content for the Buddy's sauce. If Buddy's is still using Stanislaus tomato products, and if we assume that a single slice of a Buddy's cheese pizza uses one ounce of sauce, the amount of sodium (in the form of salt added to the tomatoes) for that one ounce of sauce might range from 60-75 mg for the types of Stanislaus tomato products that we believe Buddy's may be using. However, if Buddy's is using a Stanislaus tomato paste, like the one at http://www.stanislausfoodproducts.com/_pdfs/Full-Red-Tomato-Paste.pdf, the sodium levels could be considerably less, especially once water is added. I might add here that the sauce analysis does not assume that more salt is added to the tomato products than what is already present in the cans of the tomato products themselves. Of course, if we assume that one slice of a Buddy's cheese pizza has more than one ounce of sauce on it, then the sodium number attributable to the sauce will increase accordingly. But, as will be evident below, the use of more sauce is not likely to move the sodium needle much. The final step of the analysis is to examine the sodium content of the flour. For the Occident flour that you have been using, and the amount you have been using, I would estimate that the sodium content for the flour is about 3.3 mg. As you can see, it is quite small in relation to the other ingredients. Now, if we start subtracting the sodium contents of the cheese, sauce and flour at the one-slice level from the 403 mg number given in the Buddy's Nutrition data, using just about any combination of the individual numbers I have given above, we end up with a minuscule amount of sodium that would be present in the dough at the one-slice level. If we then multiply the final sodium content for one slice by four to get to a full 4-square pizza, the amount of sodium when converted to salt is still minuscule. It might be no more than around 1/8 teaspoon. To be clear, that is for the entire dough ball used to make a 4-square pizza, no matter the actual weight of the dough ball. So, unless my calculations are seriously wrong or flawed in some way, or else the Buddy's Nutrition data on the sodium is way off, my calculations suggest that there may no salt in the Buddy's dough. At first blush, that might come as a shock to some but we know that there are commercial pizza doughs that contain no salt, including, for example, the Malnati's and Gino's East deep dish doughs. In our case, we have always "assumed" that the Buddy's dough contains salt. This morning I did some more research to see if salt was specifically mentioned by Buddy's anywhere as being used in their dough and I came up empty. All that Buddy's has said is that it uses no sugar or oil in its dough. Since Buddy's often touts the health aspects of its pizzas, I might have thought that it would emphasize a low sodium content of its crust if such were true but I found no such claim. But, then again, I never saw such a claim from Malnati's or Gino's East about their crusts either. At this point, perhaps the best way to test whether my analysis is correct is to make a Buddy's clone dough without any salt and taste the finished crust. Peter
It is interesting from your calculations that you think that may be no salt in Buddys dough. That was somewhat of a shock to me to hear that. I didnt know that Malnatis and Ginos East deep dish doughs didnt have any salt in them.
If you want me to make one dough ball without salt for this coming Tuesday I can do that. Should it be an emergency dough ball? I would think maybe the skin in the pan would rise faster without the addition of salt, but dont really know. I dont recall ever trying a dough without salt before.
I didnt see anywhere on the Nutrition Facts where the bread sticks are listed for Buddys, but I recalled this picture of Mary Heller carrying the breadsticks in the trays. Maybe if we knew what those Nutrition Facts were you could be positive if no salt, or only a little salt is added to Buddys dough. Do you have any ideas of how to find out about those bread sticks?
Norma, After my last post, I went back and looked at the sodium numbers for several of the other pizzas that Buddy's sells, especially those that seem to have the same amount of brick cheese. I saw nothing to suggest that there is any salt in the dough or, if there is, it is minuscule. For those pizzas, it appears that the amount of brick cheese is the same and that the sauce is also the same, albeit applied without weighing. In those cases, it looks like everything that is to make up the rest of the pizzas is put on top of the sauce. The specialty pizzas I looked at included the Detroiter, Gourmet Veggie, Original Veggie, Sicilian, Super and The Florine Mark. One of the things to keep in mind is that the Buddy's pizzas, much like the Chicago deep-dish style pizzas, use a lot of cheese. That alone increases the salt contribution and may offset the fact that there may be little or no salt in the dough. Also, in the case of the Buddy's cheese and pepperoni pizza, and also their pizzas with other meats and other types of cheeses, the meats and other cheeses add a fair amount of salt also. Some of the members who attempted to make Malnati-style pizzas found that they preferred some salt in the crust. Others did not even notice that the real Malnati crusts did not include salt. I think we would learn a lot from a test dough without salt. You are correct that the dough is likely to rise faster without the regulating effect of the salt but if the dough is an emergency dough, which I recommend, you may not notice an overly dramatic rise in the dough over the course of a couple of hours. But, I might be wrong on this, so the results should be instructive.When I first saw that the Buddy's Nutrition data was posted on the Buddy's website, and seeing that the data was not what I was hoping for, one of the first things I did was to look to see if there was any nutrition data on the breadsticks. Like you, I found none. Maybe what we saw Mary Hellers carrying in the pans in the photo you referenced were strips of dough for something other than breadsticks. When I looked at the Buddy's menu (http://www.buddyspizza.com/documents/Carryout101.pdf), I saw reference to fresh bread (fresh bread basket) but not to breadsticks. Peter
Norma,After seeing many references to breadsticks in Yelp reviews, I went back and checked some of the other Buddy's menus. It looks like some of the Buddy's stores offer breadsticks under Buddy Bread: http://www.buddyspizza.com/documents/Carryout110.pdf. The description is Fresh baked breadsticks brushed with garlic butter and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Served with a side of Buddy Bread sauce. The above menu is for the Buddy's Point Plaza location. That is where Mary Hellers was once the manager, but no longer. If the breadsticks were included in the Buddy's Nutrition data, we would not have been able to learn much about them because of the garlic butter and Parmesan cheese. You would want data on the naked breadsticks.Peter
I didnt think about all the cheese uses Buddys pizzas to take up the salt taste just like the Chicago deep-dish style pizzas. I can see that alone increases the salt contribution. What confuses me about that is when I first tried the brick cheese on a Buddys attempt the cheese really didnt taste that salty to me. At least not as salty as my one mozzarella.
Do I need to do another formulation on the expanded dough calculation tool, or do I just omit the Kosher salt in the formulation I have been using for an emergency dough? Do you think I should use my last of my brick cheese, or doesnt that really matter if we just taste the crust?
Norma,There are variations in sodium content from one type of cheese to another and from one brand to another, so it is possible that the Eddie's brick cheese you have been using has a lower sodium (salt) content than the mozzarella cheese you are using. I suggest that you use the expanded dough calculating tool with the 9-ounce dough ball size and omit the salt. That will change the numbers a bit to reflect the omission of the salt. I don't see any need for you to use the rest of your brick cheese since you and/or Steve will be tasting the crust to see if it is like the crust of the recent cheese and pepperoni pizza that you recently purchased from Buddy's. Peter
I understand that the Eddies brick cheese might have a lower sodium content than the one mozzarella cheese I am using. Thanks for mentioning that. I really dont know where the Nutrition Facts are for that mozzarella (the Bella Fran part skim mozzarella, but that mozzarella does taste more salty to me).
Norma,If you are using the Bella Francesca part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese as shown at http://hometownprovisions.net/2011/08/featured-product-shredded-cheeses/, that cheese has a sodium content of only 130 mg per ounce. That is very much on the low side. Peter
Norma,At least you got confirmation from Buddy's on the sauce sample that you received with the Buddy's cheese and pepperoni pizza. Just like uncooked cheeses taste different than the same cheeses baked on a pizza, it is quite possible that if you use some of your Buddy's sauce sample on a baked pizza, it may very well taste different than in the unbaked state.When I first researched the Buddy's salt issue, I thought that there might be a way to approach Buddy's on that matter, possibly in the form of a question framed in the context of a low-sodium dietary restriction tied to a high blood pressure condition. However, I couldn't think of a way of doing this without an analysis that was technical and mathematical in nature. I concluded that such an approach would have been viewed by Buddy's with great suspicion. That is why I suggested just making a Buddy's clone dough without salt. I found the Nutrition Facts for the Bella Francesca whole milk mozzarella cheese to be very interesting, because of the low sodium content, only 105 mg per ounce. That is considerably lower than other brands of mozzarella cheese. In fact, I don't think I have ever seen either a low-moisture part-skim or a whole milk mozzarella cheese with a sodium content that low. But, in my case, all of the mozzarella cheeses I have seen have been supermarket or specialty store cheeses, not foodservice brands.Peter
I also talked to Joe Widmer about the samples of brick cheese he was going to send me this morning. Joe asked me if it was okay if he sent them after the holidays because this is their busiest part of the year. I told Joe it was fine with me if the samples were sent after the holidays. Joe told me to remind him about the samples after the holidays.
Norma,It will be interesting to see how the Widmer brick cheese works out on a Buddy's clone pizza once you are able to get a sample of that cheese. However, I seriously doubt that Buddy's is using a product like the Widmer brick cheese. I have been researching brick cheese and Wisconsin producers of that cheese and I believe that Buddy's is using a major producer of brick cheese, not any of the many small and mom-and-pop brick cheese producers that operate out of Wisconsin. Originally, Buddy's used Kraft as its supplier of brick cheese. Then, it went with Foremost Farms. Foremost Farms is a giant operator and is organized as a cooperative that embraces many producers of dairy products. You can see this at http://www.foremostfarms.com/About-Us/Vision-and-Values/History.php. Also, as you can see from the map at http://www.foremostfarms.com/Commercial/Processing.php, all of the Foremost Farms processing plants are located in Wisconsin. Foremost not only serves the foodservice market sector directly but it also deals with intermediaries that cut, grind/shred and package cheeses for the retail market. An example of such an intermediary is the Deli Source/Wilmont Farms company that was mentioned earlier in this thread as the supplier (along with Widmer) of brick cheese to Central Market stores in Texas. For the quantity of brick cheese that Buddy's must go through, there would be no reason to buy from someone like Wilmont. They would deal with Foremost or a foodservice company that handles the Foremost brick cheese. As was mentioned previously in the Buddy's thread at Reply 322 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3783.msg136883.html#msg136883, Buddy's showed the Foremost Farms logo in the menu that it was using as of 2009 at http://www.buddyspizza.com/documents/WebsiteMenu7.2.10.pdf, specifically, at page 4 in the square pizza section of the menu. For some reason, Buddy's omitted reference to Foremost in later menus. However, when you wrote to Buddy's to inquire about the fat in their brick cheese, you were told that there was 9 grams of fat for a 28-gram quantity (Reply 97 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,21559.msg220645/topicseen.html#msg220645). That is the amount of fat shown by Foremost for its brick cheese at http://www.foremostfarms.com/Commercial/pdfs/Nutritional%20Information/NDS_Brick.pdf. If Buddy's is no longer using the Foremost brick cheese, I wondered what other large supplier it might be using. I thought that Land O Lakes, also a large cooperative, might offer a brick cheese but I could not find that product listed at the Land O Lakes foodservice website at http://landolakesfoodservice.com/products/default.aspx?c=86.. However, at one time, Land O Lakes apparently did offer a brick cheese, as noted, for example, at http://cf.foodfacts.com/NutritionFacts/Mixed-Combination-Cheese/Land-O-Lakes-White-Brick-Cheese-5-lb/70890.If Kraft is still in the business of selling brick cheese, I could not find that cheese listed at its foodservice website at http://www.kraftfoodservice.com/products/productinfosearchresults.aspx?catalogtype=3&categoryid=101&searchtext=process%20cheese&pageno=2.Until better information comes our way, I am assuming that Buddy's is still using the Foremost Farms brick cheese.Peter
I didnt know that Foremost Farms deals with intermediaries that package cheeses for the retail market, like Wilmont Farms company. I dont have time to click on the map this morning to see what all the Foremost Farms produce. Did you see any that produce the brick cheese? I might have to contact Foremost Farms again and see if they sell the Wilmont brick cheese in my area on the retail level to try.
I also didnt know Kraft used to be Buddys supplier of brick cheese. If you want me to, I can try to contact Kraft to see if they still produce brick cheese.
I also dont have time this morning to find the link, but Great Lakes does produce the Eddies brick cheese I purchased from Mandi Cheese. I posted this same pdf. for the Great Lakes brick cheese somewhere on this thread. The nearest location I can get the Great Lakes brick cheese is in Scranton, Pa. I wouldnt think Buddys is using Great Lakes though.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Beautiful views but a bit lonelyIn full: Great race, great vistas, great weather!!!I got a PB, very happy with dipping under 3h50 on the undulating course.Badged as the "friendliest" marathon but in my opinion it isn't. There is virtually no crowd apart from the last mile due to its location. I love the support of the crowd so this was a bit of a downside for me in an otherwise great day.I'll stop moaning now.Date of review: October 4, 2012
In short: Amazing and toughIn full: Over the moon with 28th place and loved the tough hill. Great value as you get free entry to the Belton horse trials which costs £15 per adult.Date of review: April 2, 2012
In short: Great race(as usual), killer hillsIn full: Great stadium start/finish. Great flat wide roads, canal towpath and the killer hills all add up to a great race. Despite choosing to walk up both the hills I still managed a respectable 1h45m.Date of review: March 12, 2012
In short: Great and challengingIn full: I loved it and I was over the moon to finish 52nd out of 700 odd. The course was enough of a challenge to keep you focused.The only gripe was the section where you ran head to head with other runners. Some of the slower/less experienced runners ran head down not aware that we were flying downhill towards them.Other than that it was great!!!!Date of review: May 13, 2011
In short: Great race, NASTY hillIn full: Great value as you get entry to the Belton Horse trial which I think would have cost £15 per adult!!The race was excellent, the hill to the Bellmont tower was nasty but whats the point if you are not going to challenge yourself.I advise everyone to do this race next year.Date of review: April 4, 2011
In short: Good atmosphere, organisation a bit of a joke considering the costIn full: The atmosphere, support and the topography of the course were excellent. However, the start and start facilities are a joke considering the money it costs to enter. There was insufficient toilets(particularly mens urinals which would speed the queues up a lot)and the less said about the ludicrous journey to the starting pens the better, the bottleneck was a joke. I managed to get to the start with 2 minutes to spare but thousands of people were behind me at this point. The starting area itself is too small to accommodate 15,000 runners and famillies at the same time. At certain points of the course the width was too narrow to fit the amount of runners but we all had fun trying to avoid the thousands of pointless cones laid out down the middle of most of the roads!!Despite my moans I enjoyed the experience but I wouldnt do it again. Charge a lower entry fee or improve the start and start area. Date of review: March 14, 2011
In short: Great but challenging race!!!!In full: I knocked 4 mins off last years time so I am cock-a-hoop!!!I agree with other reviewers, BRING BACK THE HOODY, the red jumper is ok but hoodies are better pre/post race wear. I also got covered in a ridiculous amount of red fluff after wearing the jumper.Everything else was great, the cheese bap at the end was great.Date of review: March 21, 2010
In short: Good race hot weatherIn full: According to the Edinburgh marathon official site they had a lot of water/Lucozade stolen. This is not their fault; in difficult circumstances they did a good job. Next year the drinks will have a armed guard.Excellent race, acheived a PB!!!Date of review: June 5, 2009
In short: BrilliantIn full: Cannot criticise this race at all. Considering it was in a small village everything was good. The start wasn't that muddy (contrary to what others have written)and running on the grass only lasted for a couple of hundred metres, what hardship!!!To all of those who said the "finish was hidden",if you had been paying attention at the start you would of noticed the large yellow FINISH signs and timing chip mats next to the start line area. The glass block memento at the end was amazing.The water stations were also good considering you are in the middle of the countryside.Lets be positive about small races and not criticise for criticising sake!!!!!!Date of review: April 13, 2009
In short: AmazingIn full: Despite the rain the crowd and atmosphere were amazing. I have already applied for next yearDate of review: April 16, 2008

Asustek Computer again managed to become the maker of most reliable personal computers in the U.S., according to Rescuecom's quarterly computer reliability report. Apart from Asus, Apple and Lenovo Group are in the top three makers of most reliable PCs. Even though the scores provided by Rescuecom are rather questionable, they outline a rather alarming trend: the amount of calls requesting support for Asus PCs is increasing quicker than the market share of the firm.
"Because Asus just introduced the newest version of the Eee PC laptop last fall, the original predicted computer reliability of this laptop has been somewhat up in the air. However, a good eight months later, we are still receiving the fewest calls for computer repair and support with Asus, while their market share is increasing, adding the Eee desktop to their line as well, indicating that this PC is continuing to prove itself in terms of computer reliability," said David A. Milman, the founder and chief executive officer of Rescuecom.
But while Mr. Milman praises reliability of Asustek's system, there are two points that need to be noted: firstly, reliability score of Asus systems in Q2 2009 dropped dramatically to 416 from 972 in the first quarter; secondly, while the U.S. market share of Asus increased to 2.5% from 1.6% in Q4 2008 (an increase of 56%), the share of calls requesting tech support to Rescuecom raised to 0.6% from 0.2% a quarter ago (an increase of 200%). Reliability scores of Apple and Lenovo remained on approximately the same levels.
For the second quarter of 2009, IDC reported a total of over 16 million shipped PCs among eight major brands. Over this same time period, Rescuecom received 11 560 calls for computer repair and support related to these brands. "Computer reliability" is based on two key measures, including the quality of the components and software that's used in manufacturing the computer, and the post-sale support that's provided by the manufacturer to its customers. The higher the score, the greater the reliability of the brand. The top five contenders and their computer reliability scores are as follows:
Personal Computers' Reliability Comparison
Computer Reliability Report Q2 2009 by Rescuecom
U.S. PC Market Share
Rescuecom Repair Share
Reliability Score
Source: IDC
Percentage of calls to a special line
"When it comes to buying a computer, quality of components and service by the manufacturer after the purchase play a big role in consumers' purchasing decisions. Our reports deliver the most up-to-date information, based on our ability to define and predict the anticipated reliability of today's most popular PCs, minimizing the need for computer repair during the time you own it," added Mr. Millman.
But not everything is that simple. What should be noted about the Q1 and Q2 2009 reports by Rescuecom is that in previous years the reports calculated the "reliability score" for each PC vendor based on the calculated difference between overall U.S. market share, over a three-year period, and the percentage of calls requesting service received by Rescuecom call center over one specified quarter or one year. However, starting from 2008 the service company started to compare the amount of calls over a specified period with the approximate market share in that period (or take market shares from a couple of previous quarters).
This new methodolody substantially alters the outcome as complaints regarding older systems are compared to current market shares. As a result, if a company owned 10% market share three years ago and now has 5% of the market, it will get lower reliability score since it is natural that older systems need more attention from tech personnel. The same is effective in other direction: a company with 10% market share now that used to command 5% of the shipments will get higher score since proportionally to current shipments the amount of complaints will be low.

Kinetic by Kurt Road Machine Training Bike

The ideal choice for the space constrained, this rear-wheel-mount trainer is quick to set up, sturdy and stable to ride, and easy to collapse and stow. And though the unit is small, the heavy-duty flywheel and fluid-resistance system create a smooth, realistic ride that's quieter than with fan or magnetic trainers. Silicone fluid ramps up pressure based on your output, so the harder you push, the more resistance you get. Our only gripe: because of the incremental force, pedaling in the biggest rings can feel like mashing, not spinning. For the money, though, you won't find a better, more reliable trainer.
