Uppsala, with the cathedral in the background
Photo: © Kalbar/Uppsala Tourism
With its hugely impressive cathedral (Uppsala Domkyrka) and the ancient Viking burial mounds in and around the city, you'll realise that this is a place with a history.And what a history it is. The kings of ancient Svea were crowned here, the Vikings traded and settled here and Uppsala has been at the centre of cultural and religious life in Sweden for centuries. It is also home to Uppsala University, which was founded in 1477.The presence of Uppsala University can be felt everywhere in the city, housed in its many historic buildings, student residences, study halls and research centres. The student clubs here, known as 'nations', are famous in Uppsala for their social scenes and traditions and some are almost as old as the university itself.We should add here that the Uppsala University's collection of art, books and scientific memorabilia is not to be missed. The collection includes the world famous Silver Bible, dating from the 6th century, which is worth a trip in itself. Other university-centric spots of interest include its Botanical Gardens, Main Building, University Park and its library (known as 'Carolina to the locals if you're asking for directions).Uppsala manages to meld the ancient, the medieval and the ultra modern beautifully. It has bustling shopping precincts and malls with the big name Swedish clothes and accessories retailers and smaller designer boutiques. No less attractive is its range of eateries in and around the city.Did we mention that Carl Linnaeus, world famous botanist, physician and zoologist lived and worked in Uppsala in the 18th century and that Ingmar Bergman, legendary movie and theatre director grew up here. Not that we're dropping names.

American Mountain Men Set Up Camp At NYPA Visitors Center
Steve Ramsey
June 15, 2010
NORTH BLENHEIM—Brush up on your tomahawk skills when the American Mountain Men visit the New York Power Authority's Blenheim-Gilboa Visitors Center and transform the surrounding grounds into a lively 19th century encampment, Saturday and Sunday, June 19 & 20, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Mountain Men are powerful symbols of America's wild frontier. Participants in the encampment are from the Brothers of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts unit of the national Mountain Men organization, founded in 1968. The group prides itself on the accuracy and authenticity of its interpretation, and sharing their knowledge with all who are interested.
In addition to tomahawk and knife skills, the visitors center event will feature demonstrations on other useful survival skills, like fire-starting and cooking, basket-making and more. Sharpen your flints, and make plans to attend.
Guests are also invited to enjoy the admission-free visitors center's attractions, which include hands-on exhibits for people of all ages and abilities. Visitors can learn how this pumped-storage power project acts like a giant battery, generating hydroelectricity by recycling water between two huge reservoirs. Other displays demonstrate the basics of electricity, energy production and conservation.
The Blenheim-Gilboa Visitors Center is located on Route 30, five miles north of Grand Gorge, 17 miles south of Middleburgh and 50 miles southwest of Albany. School groups and community organizations are welcome. For more information, visit www.nypa.gov

It is great to have a thread here devoted to "the beautiful game" of soccer, as we know it in the states. As soccer fans, we know that our game is something special and it takes unique people to make this game as great as it is.
Saying that, I like how the game has grown in this country. The expansion of MLS and the USLs has raised awareness of the game like never before. The growth of soccer in America has been slow, but the game gets stronger on these shores every year.
The way squads develop talent vary in America. It's been mentioned here that the Columbus Crew has worked with the Cleveland City Stars on developing players for the MLS squad. It's good to know that the Crew has that pipeline.
But the question about how the sport should grow in this country rests firmly with how individual clubs develop players.
To make soccer a truly unique venture in America, the concept of player development should adopt the European academy model. Each club develops its own talent in a community atmosphere and the clubs have several self-contained levels. Clubs spot and recruit talent at early ages (similar to the way hockey talent is spotted in Canadian junior hockey) and develop the whole person in house. Recruits play the game for the club while continuing education. Families host the players and assist the club in building a team, while assisting the recruits with developing life skills away from their real families.
Brad Friedel's Premier Soccer Academies http://premiersocceracademies.com/index2.html is a great first step in instilling this concept in this country. It is a way of spotting and developing talent for the sport in a controlled atmosphere. If the clubs in America were to adopt this concept in house from club to club, I believe you'd see an exponential growth in the quality of play and the level of sustainable professional clubs in America.
I wanted to just lay out the concept here as a beginning of a discussion on the topic. Most true fans of the game of soccer are already familiar with the academy system and how it works outside of North America. The next step in America is implementing the system here in the states.
The discussion begins here.

General Diaper Service, 1989
The Columbus Dispatch - August 29, 2010 08:00 PM
The photo above shows Florence Hamilton of Columbus busily folding 1,000 diapers per hour at General Diaper Service, which was located at 691 Bank Road in Columbus. When this photo was taken in 1989, the New Jersey-based company had just launched a nationwide advertising campaign to promote its cloth diapers over disposables. When disposable diapers were introduced in the 1960s, sales for cloth diapers and cloth diaper services plummeted, and in 1989, disposables had cornered about 85% of the diaper market.
Today, cloth diapers are making a comeback. Made of mostly reusable and biodegradable materials, they appeal to both the environmentally and fiscally conscious. According to Consumer Reports, families can expect to pay $1,500-$2,000 for disposable diapers by the time a child is potty-trained, and in these tougher economic times, an increasing number are turning to cloth diapers as a more cost-effective option.
Diaper services like the one shown above are not as easily found as they once were. I saw only one local listing for this type of business that picks up soiled diapers and delivers freshly cleaned ones to the customer's doorstep. Public perceptions regarding the impact on the environment of powerful chemicals and energy expenditure for commercial-grade washers and dryers has led the greener crowd to shy away. Likewise, the thrifty crowd is not very interested in shelling out $500-900 per year for something that they can do themselves for less.
Cloth diapers have certainly evolved from the safety-pinned piece of cloth that my own mother used for me and my siblings—many include waterproof covers, diaper inserts to increase absorbency and flushable liners. But despite these advances, the convenience of disposables is still winning out and they are currently the most popular option for both families and daycare centers.

I had sex recently, and afterward I saw some small cuts on the skin between the bottom of the lips of the vagina and the rectum. The area burns and it's very sore. I thought it was fully healed...but when I had sex again, the cuts opened up more. What is it? What can I put on it?

I think that they still would have been a bit too doughy for my taste considering the preferment is about 64% of the final dough.
By relatively high yeast % I'm referring to the 3% in the preferment, and then the 4% in the final dough.
Chau,Can you tell me where the 64% figure comes from and how it was calculated?Did you mean 0.30% and 0.40%? Normally, I would leave out the percents in the preferment and final mix displays but left them in this time in case I ever have to audit the recipe some time in the future. The key number is the percent with respect to the total formula flour. Peter
The 64% value I quoted is 64% of the final flour weight. So 151gm of preferment divided by 235gm of flour in the final mix = 64%. In my case I used 134gm of preferment to 209gm of flour to get 64%. My hydration ratio was estimate by dividing the preferment in 2 and adding 67gm to each the flour and water weight in the final mix. It came out to about 67%.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (24 votes).
In short: Very well-organised - but more than 'gently undulating'!!!In full: In brief, a good morning race, with excellent organisation, marshalling and route-markers courtesy of 'Purple Patch'.The killer hill at the beginning nearly finished me off! The ground was hard, and there were plenty of interesting fox holes and tree roots to fall over, but at 7K I finally began to enjoy the race if that is the word for it! I would consider entering next year, but I'd prefer the big hills not to be at the beginning.Date of review: July 11, 2010
In full: Phew! being someone not too keen on hills and definately against running through fields of livestock, on this course I met both instantaneously. A very scenic route , mainly all off road which made for hard work with the rough terrain and steep up and down hill trails but enjoyed the lovely cool breeze and shade of the trees. I knew I was well away from a PB early on so at the 5k mark decided to slow the pace and enjoy. The most interesting 10k completed so far and very well organised and signposted.Date of review: July 11, 2010
In short: Well organised. Though hilly and tough going it is a lovely location to run.In full: This race started with a 1km uphill climb through a field of cows. Being quite scared of cows I had some motivation to get up to the hill quickly but it was certainly hard work and made the first few kilometers tiring. The hills and also flinty uneven paths make this a slower race than an on road race but I enjoyed the challenge and the location is great.Amazing organisation from Purple Patch as always, a nice goody bag, plenty of water stations and a shiny medal made this an enjoyable run.Date of review: July 11, 2010
In short: Another total success for the Purple Patch Team!In full: So....PB potential? Only for mountain goats as the first 5K seemed to be uphill, but it was worth it for the second half! Some lovely running through leafy trails with hazards (such as roots etc) well marked and the route well marked and marshalled- although somehow at least one person did manage to get lost! At the end I commented "evil but stunning" but to me a road hump is a hill so it was rather a challenge, but a great event and all credit to Purple Patch, they are superb at race planning and organisation and nice goody bag and medal too! Do it next year (but do some hill training first!)Date of review: July 11, 2010

Lawyer puts aw-shucks in high-profile success
Tampa's John Fitzgibbons is politely having a very good year.
By COLLEEN JENKINS
Published August 9, 2006
TAMPA - John Fitzgibbons introduced his restaurateur client to potential jurors last week with a little levity.
"I want to make sure there is nobody here who doesn't like Thai food," the attorney said.
Jurors laughed. Fitzgibbons smiled. It was the beginning of a brief but beautiful relationship.
Jurors experienced classic Fitzgibbons - penetrating and pointed, yet endearing and polite. Fitzgibbons won an acquittal for a man looking at 15 years in prison.
"Very few in this town would have pulled that off," said Tracy Sheehan, a Tampa defense attorney.
The same can be said for the year Fitzgibbons is having.
Long one of Tampa's top criminal defense attorneys, he has added three headline grabbing victories to his resume in 2006. First, the U.S. Attorney's Office abandoned its tax evasion case against Hooters founder Lynn "L.D." Stewart. Then schoolteacher Debra Lafave, Fitzgibbons' most notorious client to date, managed to avoid prison for the sexual assault of a 14-year-old male student.
Last week, he beat a manslaughter rap for Lawrence Storer, the Sumos Thai operator who in October 2003 ran down a man minutes after getting robbed, killing him.
Fitzgibbons, 55, celebrated Thursday night with a grouper dinner at SideBern's. The next morning, he flew to Iowa to sort through his parents' possessions in anticipation of selling their home; his father died two years ago and his mother is stricken with Alzheimer's.
His beloved pleasure boat, Acquittal, sat moored on Tuesday. There was no time for relaxing on the bay. After he returned from Iowa, Fitzgibbons hustled back to his office, where the air conditioner was broken, and sat around in a gray sleeveless T-shirt, wading through dozens of pink phone message slips.
"I had to cancel three ski trips this year because I was so busy," the lifelong bachelor said.
He's not complaining. The work keeps him intellectually challenged, earns him more than $500 an hour, and affords him the ability to live in a waterfront home on Harbour Island, where for 14 years he threw Gasparilla parties for thousands.
Being a lawyer fulfills a decision he made around age 5, when he began attending depositions and court hearings with his father.
Francis Fitzgibbons, an accomplished trial attorney who served as president of the Iowa Academy of Trial Lawyers, practiced law in the north Iowa farming community of Estherville. People there didn't lock their doors at night, and a man could instill simple Midwestern values in his Irish Catholic family.
The oldest of eight children, John Fitzgibbons grew up playing basketball and refining his argument skills on the debate team.
Four of the Fitzgibbons children followed in their father's footsteps. John graduated from law school at the University of Iowa, followed by stints as a federal prosecutor in Des Moines and an attorney for the U.S. House of Representatives and Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.
He quickly came to miss the courtroom. He decided lawyers in Washington didn't have a life.
A job offer in 1983 from then U.S. Attorney Bob Merkle in Tampa solved that. He worked his way up to become deputy chief of the criminal division. In 1987, he set up shop as a private attorney, eventually moving into his current office, a refurbished marble and mahogany suite six floors above the Tampa Theatre.
Fitzgibbons quickly developed a reputation as a tough negotiator for his clients, turning down plea deals and going to trial in federal and state cases.
He represented Sigma International employee William "Andy" Walton in the 10-week stinky shrimp case and former Mayor Dick Greco's wife when she faced misdemeanor battery charges for throwing hot coffee in a gym manager's face.
He got Buccaneers tight end Tyji Armstrong off an aggravated battery charge, and argued on behalf of a Pasco County man who castrated himself after being accused of rape.
Colleagues say he handles each case professionally, always a gentleman, always prepared.
He's "a lawyer's lawyer, among the guys that the practicing bar tends to look to for leadership and guidance," said Eddie Suarez, who several years ago worked an eight-week federal fraud case with Fitzgibbons.
He also has learned to use the media to build sympathy for his clients. Over the past decade or so, he said, he has gone from a strict "no comment" stance to one that recognizes the power of getting a defendant's story out.
But Fitzgibbons' aw-shucks Iowa accent couldn't temper the fury that resulted last year when he suggested that putting Lafave, the attractive former Greco Middle School reading teacher, in prison would be "like placing a piece of raw meat in with the lions."
Does he regret the choice of words?
"Nope," Fitzgibbons said, grinning mischievously. "It certainly stirred the pot. And the pot being stirred didn't hurt us one bit."
The Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office later sought and received a gag order on Fitzgibbons, arguing that he had gone too far in his public comments on the case.
"I don't always agree with his comments to the media," said Michael Sinacore, who prosecuted Lafave. "But in appropriate cases, he uses the media to try to shape his defense. Whether he's successful or not is subject to debate."
The Storer case was an interesting fit for Fitzgibbons. A registered Democrat who gripes that the country's conservative laws make defense work harder, he becomes downright hostile in describing the "thug" who robbed Storer at gunpoint and for whom a violent death was "just inevitable."
The forcefulness of his argument resonated in the courtroom.
"Prosecutor (Jalal) Harb tried to present it to your face, like just put it right in front of your eyes," said Andrew Thornton, the 27-year-old hospital worker who served as a juror. "And John Fitzgibbons put it down your throat."

Mr. Speaker, founded in October 1994, Place des aîné(e)s de Laval is a not for profit organization that has rapidly become a place of belonging and a support centre for individuals 50 and over, a place where they can have a sense of their own worth.
This is a resource centre with a focus on improving the quality of life of seniors and managed in such way as to promote active participation on their part. It is also a place for involvement, growth and living which provides each individual with a special opportunity to remain active, fulfill their potential, find and explore new interests and widen their social circles.
The success enjoyed by Place des aîné(e)s de Laval is a reflection of the active involvement of its 5,000 members, about 250 dedicated volunteers, including Raymond Monette, a founding member of the centre who has been its president since the beginning, and 15 employees under the supervision of Carmelle Lefebvre.
Happy 10th anniversary and long life to all the members, directors and employees of Place des aîné(e)s de Laval.

Mark Holland Ajax—Pickering, ON
Mr. Speaker, I had occasion this summer, along with the hon. member for Whitby—Oshawa, to tour General Motors, to take a look at its new facility and to talk about the Beacon project. I want to start my comments by commending the member for Whitby—Oshawa on the leadership role she has played in advocating the Beacon project.
This dynamic and innovative project represents a $2.5 billion investment in Canada's automotive sector. It is of vital importance to our economy. It will bring research and development, and design and engineering capacity to the Durham region. I look forward to our government supporting this project.
I know there have been discussions between our government and General Motors about a potential partnership. I have confidence that will materialize. It is something that will ensure that our automotive sector remains relevant on a go forward basis.

Mr. Speaker, on October 28, busloads of citizens from greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley will be heading down to Washington state to speak at a public hearing on whether a U.S. power plant called SE2 should be granted an extension of its air emission permit.
SE2 plans to build a polluting power plant less than 500 meters from the Canadian border, which will become the largest air polluter into the Fraser Valley air shed. This must not happen.
There has been unanimous opposition to SE2 from local citizens, local governments and the province of B.C. The only one not actively opposing SE2 has been the federal Liberal government. If it does not take this opportunity to oppose this environmental polluter, its support for Kyoto is nothing more than a political ploy to deceive Canadians.
Will the environment minister agree to go down to Washington state on October 28 to make a stand for our environment and help fight this Goliath?

Mr. Speaker, on September 22 and 23, I participated in two meetings of the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development round table on sustainable development for the Minister of the Environment. Also attending the meetings were ministers from around the globe, as well as innovative thinkers from world-class institutions and the private sector.
During the meeting on renewable energy, it was clear that there was no silver bullet to ensure that renewable energy technologies are deployed in the marketplace, but we all agreed that the right financial incentives need to be in place. Canada is poised to play a global leadership role in renewable energy technologies.
During the meeting on sustainable mobility, we also discussed the important role for financial incentives and the challenges we face within urban communities.
These meetings only reaffirm the important role that Canada plays and will play as a global leader in renewable energy technologies and sustainable communities.

October 22nd, 2004 / 11:05 a.m.
Peter Julian Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
Mr. Speaker, since 1997, "Navigating the Waters", a national employment initiative of the Canadian Association of Independent Living Centres, has supported over 5,000 persons with disabilities by helping them upgrade their skills and find jobs at a cost of only $950,000 per year. It does not take a lot of math to see that this is a very good deal for the public purse.
With an unemployment rate for persons with disabilities of more than 50% and a fiscal surplus exceeding $9 billion, I cannot imagine why the government is cutting the funding to such a program as of December this year.
"Navigating the Waters" is on death row and has had so far two stays of execution. This is a real scandal.
This program is restoring equality and dignity to thousands of Canadians. I ask that the minister immediately revoke this death sentence.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to share sad news concerning my riding of Chicoutimi—Le Fjord.
On Wednesday, officers of Abitibi Consolidated announced that the plant at Port Alfred would remain closed indefinitely, which confirms that the 640 workers affected will be losing their jobs. Hon. members will understand that this announcement will have a heavy economic impact on my riding, as well as major social consequences for all the families concerned.
I wish to tell the workers that I am with them all the way and to recognize the professionalism they have been showing ever since they were forced off the job on December 10. Hang in there. I hope that a recovery plan is a possibility in the medium term for the plant at Port Alfred and that the government will be involved in it.
Fixed Incomes

Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, recently I have heard from many of my constituents on fixed incomes. Seniors and people with disabilities are finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet as the cost of living goes up and their incomes do not. I met a number of people who were really struggling with basic necessities. I visited a number of homes where there was no food in the fridge and they did not know where their next meal would come from.
One major area of concern is the high cost of drugs. Our seniors and disabled people not only have to pay for daily needs with their income but also medications. We live in an affluent country where these people should not have to worry about their next meal or how they will heat their homes and pay for their medications.
Both levels of government need to work together to ensure that those seniors having difficulty can look forward to a comfortable retirement.

Mr. Speaker, this week the Etobicoke Rotary Club was recognized by the Trillium Health Centre for its 50 years of continuous support of the hospital.
The Etobicoke Rotary Club was established in 1930 and has accomplished an exemplary amount of community service, including raising $1 million in the last 15 years for various charitable causes that are essential to the fabric of our community.
To mark this important event and in keeping with the club's commitment to the Trillium Health Centre, Rotary Club president Sue Foley presented a $50,000 cheque for the new Kingsway Financial Spine Institute which will open in January 2005.
I would like to commend the Etobicoke Rotary Club and its membership for its vision and longstanding commitment to the community. I join all members of the House in congratulating the club on its 75 years of active and exceptional community service.

Mr. Speaker, you just gotta love the headlines in some of the papers this morning as Sheila Copps blasts the current Prime Minister for his doublespeak.
In this House we have heard the Prime Minister say one thing when, before coming here as the Prime Minister, he said another thing. And now he is accused by Sheila Copps of widespread organized crime, wanting to abolish the Canada Health Act and old age pensions, and privatize the CBC.
These allegations are not coming from the opposition, they are coming from Sheila Copps. You gotta love her, Mr. Speaker, on days like this.
What we have seen in the House over the last several weeks, in answer to questions from the opposition, has been the Prime Minister just simply refusing to stand up and answer questions. Maybe Ms. Copps has--

Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation
Statements By Members

Mario Silva Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, in 1998 the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation was created by an act of Parliament. The objective of the foundation was to assist Canadians to meet the challenges posed by an economy that is changing ever more quickly.
The Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation provides, among other things, financial assistance to students to assist them as they pursue post-secondary education.
I am very pleased to recognize two constituents in my riding of Davenport who have been named as millennium excellence award laureates for the year 2004. On behalf of the residents of Davenport, I am pleased to congratulate Vera Bieber and Julia Popova on their receipt of the Canada millennium scholarship award.
The millennium excellence award is recognized across Canada as one of the most prestigious national scholarships.
In being chosen for the award, laureates have to be successful in a nationwide competition that recognizes achievement in four key areas: academics, community service, leadership and innovation.
The people of Davenport are justifiably proud of Vera and Julia, and I am pleased to extend to them the best wishes on behalf of their community.
Natural Resources
Oral Question Period

Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, after opposing the spirit of the Atlantic accord for years, the Prime Minister did one of his famous complete about-faces in the election campaign and promised that he would end the clawback in offshore resources. In fact, he promised Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia that they would get 100% of the revenue from offshore oil resources.
Given that there are now mixed signals in negotiations, my question is for the Minister of Natural Resources. Is this still a 100% commitment from the Prime Minister that these provinces will get 100% of their offshore resource revenue?

Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, that was nothing less than a complete assurance. The government should have let the Minister of Natural Resources, who also made these commitments, answer the question directly.
I will ask again. Yesterday and again today this government suggested it would reach an agreement if possible, but that was not the promise. The promise was that they would get 100% of their offshore resource revenues and there would be a deal by October 26. I ask the Minister of Natural Resources, is that still a commitment of this Prime Minister and this government?
Natural Resources
Oral Question Period

The only commitment that is made, Mr. Speaker, is that this issue will be resolved in the shortest time possible. As to how those negotiations take place, I would ask the hon. member to defer until such time as the provincial ministers and the federal minister resolve their negotiations.

I have been wagering on football for as long as I can remember. It makes the games or event so much more entertaining. I heard something very very interesting that I wanted to pass on to all of my degenerate buddies.
As far as prop bets go for the Super Bowl, the public has only ever made money off of the casino on one wager out of 20 years worth of prop betting.
It just happens to be the very 1st prop wager ever. It was 20 years ago and the casinos/sportsbooks got buried. The prop bet was none other than:
Will "The Fridge" score a TD in Super Bowl XX?
The odds started at 12:1 and by game time was down to 2:1
Everyone recalls that fat piece of shit scoring a TD and the great Walter Payton didnt in that game.
That being said, I still plan to place a few small wagers. There are only 250 or so to choose from.
Head or Tails?
Tom Brady for some reason is doing the coin toss this year, the 1st active player to ever do so. It has been tails 6 years in a row. I have to go with heads due to the change.
Here are a few others I like due to some higher odds:
Will there be a 2 pt conversion
Will there be Overtime(never happened in a Super Bowl)
Will the game be tied again after 0-0
Will the game be decided by exactly 3 points
The only player props I like are:
No Int for Hasselbeck
Alexander over 7.5 yard recieving
Any ones you guys are looking at?
Happy wagering

The purpose of each CAMC Auxiliary is to render assistance to their respective hospitals and carry out projects that might improve patient care and morale. Each CAMC facility has its own auxiliary and auxiliary board which is made up of CAMC volunteers in good standing.
Through the years each auxiliary has donated an enormous amount of time and effort to CAMC. In addition to serving as volunteers throughout our hospitals, many auxiliary members help in fundraising efforts through activities such as book, jewelry or uniform sales at their respective hospitals. Monies raised at these events and through other opportunities support the needs of the hospital. Examples of items recently purchased through the auxiliaries to improve patient and visitor experiences include new furniture for the CAMC General Hospital ICU/Surgery waiting room; a contribution to the purchase of new diagnostic equipment for CAMC Memorial Hospital's EKG department; and crafts and art supplies for child life therapy at Women and Children's Hospital.

Well here are my pizza's. I thought they turned out pretty good but crust was overdone. I just couldn't get my temp up high enough. The dough didn't rise much, but I did not put in refrigerator before making pies. I just could't wait! I have a few question's if someone could help.Why would the leftover dough triple in size in bag in refrigerator?Will using infrared for rotiss help with evening out upper and lower temps in grill? Please let me know what you think about my piesThanks all have a great day!
I can answer the first question for you. Once the temperature of the dough gets too warm, it doesn't matter if you place it in the refrigerator. It will just continue to proof until the yeast dies.

Cleveland Indians
What's Working: The team is now approaching the nexus of their second major rebuilding phase since the early 90s. The John Hart version led to six division titles in seven years, and the Mark Shapiro version, led by home-grown stars Victor Martinez, C.C. Sabathia and Grady Sizemore (originally drafted by the Expos, but developed primarily by Cleveland) should be a contender for years to come. With most of their top position players graduating to the majors, the Indians re-stocked the cupboards by getting one great prospect (third baseman Andy Marte) and one pretty good one (catcher Kelly Shoppach) in the Coco Crisp deal.
What's Not Working: The Indians have had some major bad luck with pitching prospects lately. Jeremy Sowers looks like a good one, but top prospect Adam Miller missed the first half of 2005 with an elbow injury, and then was highly ineffective when he returned. In addition, righthander Jeremy Guthrie continues to edge closer to a $3 million write-off, and J.D. Martin, who was on the verge of delivering on the promise of his spectacular 2001 debut, went down and required Tommy John surgery. Among position players, the system is completely bereft up the middle, with no significant prospects behind the plate or at the middle infield positions.
2006 Rookies: Fernando Cabrera (more on him in a second) moves into the classic rookie-apprentice setup role, and should be the first to get save opportunities should Bob Wickman falter. The Indians are trying to figure out how to get Ryan Garko's bat into the lineup, and replacing Ben Broussard at first base with the ex-Stanford star is not out of the question. It's hard to imagine the Indians taking very long to realize that Marte would be an immediate upgrade over Aaron Boone.
I Like Him Better Than Most: Fernando Cabrera was untouchable at Triple-A Buffalo last year, and was almost as good in 15 games with the big league squad. His stuff is closer-worthy, he throws strikes, and his makeup is tailor-made for late-inning situations. I think he's one of the best relief prospects in the game.
Don't Believe The Hype: Sowers was the sixth pick in 2004, and has gone 14-4, 2.37 in 27 minor league starts, with a fantastic 149/29 K/BB ratio in 159 innings. There's nothing wrong with Sowers, but I don't see stardom for him, as he's more of a command/finese specialist who doesn't overpower opposing hitters. I think he may have a better chance than any prospect in baseball to be a consistent 10-14 game winner, but I can think of many more prospects that have a better chance of being a star. Outfielder Brad Snyder is generally considered their top position prospect, but his power is average at best, and his ability to make contact (158 Ks in 513 at-bats last year) leaves us with far more questions than answers.

Did you miss me?
Do you have letters stored in a shoebox in your attic? I bet your grandparents did.
With email, instant messaging, texting, and cell phones have you ever wondered in our busy society if we are allowed to miss each other anymore?
I go to our mailbox daily and bring in the bills and junk mail and occasional returned key from a guest who inadvertently kept it in their pocket at check out. I open up the mail box and pull out the junk. There is no joy there anymore, there are no "I miss you" cards, photos of loved ones, graduation announcements, very rarely even a thank you card.
(Friends of our family - lovely mom is expecting first child, dad is now deployed)
Allow me to reminisce for a moment. Guests, a retired Commander of War Ships and Vietnam Vet staying with us went to the National D-Day Memorial in nearby Bedford Virginia today. It is in Bedford due to this small southern town losing more boys per capita in D-Day than any other. The movie "Saving Private Ryan" was based on a book about Bedford and D-Day called "The Bedford Boys" I highly recommend this book.
Back to the whole lost art of letter writing scenario…Have you had a loved one overseas in the service? In a war, in deployment? Do you recall the ultimate lift in your spirit when you opened the mail box and saw that air mail/par avian letter sitting there? Just seeing their handwriting on the envelope put butterflies in your stomach and an ear-to-ear grin across your face.
Tony (your outside innkeeper) was in the Royal Australian Navy for 10 years. Shortly after we first were married in 1989 in Australia, he was sent off to the first Gulf Conflict. His ship HMAS Adelaide was the first to fire enemy fire in the gulf. HMAS ADELAIDE an FFG had come back to Sydney after a 2 month deployment, and I heard it on the news that his ship would refuel, restock and turn right around and head to the Gulf of Oman. I was heartbroken.
(Tony's Ship now decommissioned - HMAS ADELAIDE more on it here)
Now all of this was pre-cell phones, pre-personal computers, we owned a type writer and pen and paper, there was no way contact each other except via the regular old mail. The ship used to receive mail once a fortnight and if the sailors had a letter ready and got it out there in time it would be taken via helicopter, processed and sent our way. So when the mail eventually reached my letter box it would contain letters for the entire month, if you have a husband like Tony, that meant three or four. Your heart would race, yours hands would shake as you carefully carried them to the nearest stoop to open and absorb every word, every dot on an "i" and every cross on a "t", then run inside for a Kleenex!
If that was you, then you would agree that you not only held the letters in your hand until the ink wore off, you also smelled the letters hoping to get a far away whiff of your loved ones. Yeah it sounds silly, but it is true!
I beseech you today, write a letter to someone you love, if nothing else, write those three little words we all long to hear "I LOVE YOU" and sign your name.

Icahn, Elliott Associates and Other Investors Drill for Oil and Gas Deals
Updated to clarify Hess asset sales
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- From corporate raider Carl Icahn to hedge fund firm Elliott Associates , activist investors are drilling into the oil and gas industry for value investments.
The moves indicate that the energy sector is poised for another busy year of asset sales and board transitions after many of the nation's largest players, from ConocoPhillips(COP) and Sunoco(SUN) to Chesapeake Energy (CHK) , underwent dramatic change in 2012 .
On Monday, Hess(HES) said Elliott Associates may take an activist stake of more than $800 million in the integrated oil and gas driller, in an effort gain seats on the company's board. Elliott's move comes amid analysis that the company should split its energy-exploration assets from its midstream refining and marketing operations.
According to a press release from Hess, Elliott Associates has notified the company it may nominate candidates to Hess's board of directors at its annual shareholders meeting this year.
Hess has hired Goldman Sachs (GS) to sell its terminal network in the U.S. and close a terminal in Port Reading, N.J., which will release $1 billion in working capital. The network, concentrated on the East Coast, has a storage capacity of 28 million barrels of oil spread among 19 terminals.
Still, Hess reiterated its conviction in remaining an integrated player in the energy sector, with businesses in oil and gas exploration and those in downstream businesses like energy marketing.
The New York-based company has already been an active seller of assets to unlock value for shareholders, an effort Chief Executive Officer John Hess referred to on Monday.
In recent months, Hess has announced asset sales worth a total of $2.4 billion, in addition to divestitures ranging from oilfields in Russia to the Eagle Ford shale in Texas.
"We have transformed Hess into a predominantly exploration and production company, which is part of a multi-year strategy to grow shareholder value," the CEO said in a statement. "We are pleased that the market has been recognizing the success of our strategic transformation as reflected by the fact that Hess shares have significantly outperformed our peers over the past six months."
In November, Jim Cramer said at The Deal's Deal Economy 2013 that Hess should split off its downstream businesses because its oil and gas assets would be worth more without the added expense of running its refining business.

Owners of Roman-style shades and roll-up blinds are being advised that their blinds may be a serious risk to children. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is saying that since 2006, five deaths and 16 near strangulations have been reported, and three deaths have been connected to roll-up blinds since 2001. Consequentially, 50 million blinds are being recalled.
Walmart, Pottery Barn, JCPenny are amongst several major retailers participating in this recall. The CPSC is warning the industry and parents to take a look at all shades and blinds in the home to make sure that they don't have any accessible cords that children can get too, and that these blinds are not placed near cribs, a child's bed or any furniture that kids can use to climb on to and reach the cords.
Free retrofit kits are being offered for Roman shades and roll-up blinds by going to www.windowcoverings.org or by calling 1-800-506-4636.

Pullmantur Air Continues Transition to Paperless Cockpit
Pullmantur Air is expanding its use of cockpit tablet applications, as the airline is introducing its pilots to several new flight technologies from Lufthansa Systems.
The Spanish charter carrier recently acquired the electronic Lido/Enroute charts, Lido/DocView app and the web-based Lido/DocView Management system. Pullmantur pilots will access the charts and app on iPads, which serve as an electronic flight bag (EFB) for Lufthansa's enroute charts.
The EFBs will be deployed on Pullmantur's fleet of four Boeing 747-400s.

With an increasing number of ways to install luxury vinyl tile (LVT) — glue, click, grip-strip and loose lay — it has never been more important to correctly match method and application.
FCW reached out to a number of industry leaders to compile the following simple guide on how to best leverage LVT installations. Doing so, they said, creates additional profit opportunities while reducing work and potential headaches.
Success starts with floor prep
Without a clean, level and dry subfloor, it doesn't matter what LVT installation option is employed, the floor is likely to fail, said experts.
To speed up and reduce the expense of subfloor preparation, a number of suppliers now offer specific LVT-oriented underlayment that smooth uneven subfloors while doubling as moisture and sound-dampening barriers.
"You can't glue LVT down onto asbestos or existing flooring like ceramic tile. You either have to remove what's there or patch it up. But our new underlayment has become a highly sought after option to prevent all of that expense and consumption of time," said Ann Wicander, president of WE Cork, which showcased its cork and rubber Silently-LVT underlayment at Surfaces 2013.
Glue: Guaranteed to work
If an application involves irregular layouts, curving hallways, custom designs or is subject to heavy static and rolling loads, industry experts said that it's best to glue LVT down.
However, just because an installation needs to be glued doesn't mean it has to be difficult, said Jonathan Train, vice president of product development, EarthWerks.
"We always suggest gluing LVT when there is heavy rolling traffic involved, such as in a hospital, or if there is a custom design or logo. We offer SprayWerks, which is easily applied using a spray bottle. It has great sheer strength but allows you to pull up the LVT if needed. It's a clean and simple process and you can reuse the LVT," he said.
Glue down installations may take a little longer to complete but the peace of mind they provide is priceless, said insiders.
"You glue when you want permanence. And that tends to be the idea in the real commercial world," said Allen Cubell, vice president of resilient product management, Armstrong. "Schools and hospitals are being glued down."
Floating floors fill need
Floating click and grip-strip LVTs serve as more than a quick and easy glueless installation option; they're often the only suitable solution for high-moisture areas that would damage wood-based products or destabilize an adhered vinyl installation, according to experts.
"Click LVTs such as our new Engage are well suited to high moisture areas and projects that require fast installation," said Russell Rogg, president and CEO, Metroflor. "Engage can be installed in areas with relative humidity of up to 85 percent. Most adhesives can't perform at that level without some type of moisture mediation."
Floating LVTs can also be installed directly over minor subfloor imperfections, reducing costs.
"Floating LVT products can be installed over many subfloors that are not conducive to adhesives," said Terry Fitzpatrick, Mannington's national installation services manager. "Other benefits of floating LVT include no cost, odors or wait times from adhesives; and the area can be put into service as soon as the installation is completed."
When to loose lay
LVTs can now also be loose laid without glue or locking systems, relying solely on their specially-constructed cores and self-adhering backers to keep them in place.
"Some customers prefer to go with our LooseLay because it is quick to install and can be replaced easily if damaged or flooding would occur," said Steve Huth, technical manager, Karndean Designflooring. "The reason we chose LooseLay is because we found that in most floating floors on the market, the major weakness is that the click system is the first thing to break. So we developed a plank with superior dimensional stability that does not curl and as long as it is installed correctly does not move or gap."
Loose lay systems are unique in that they must be installed flush against the wall, contrary to the industry standard of leaving an expansion gap, according to experts familiar with the new systems.
"If you follow the instructions and install it right up against the wall, you don't need glue or tape, it works perfectly. The problem is when you get into a setting where no two walls are straight and there's a non-professional installer that doesn't take the time to make adjustments," said David Reichwein, president and CEO, FreeFit.
FreeFit partnered with the International Standards & Training Alliance of Floorcovering Professionals (INSTALL) to educate and help certify professional installers on its loose lay system.
"Since we partnered with INSTALL, we changed our warranty. If you use a certified FreeFit installer, we'll cover labor and material for the life of the warranty. And since we have done that, our claims have dropped to nearly zero," said Reichwein.
To alleviate concerns associated with irregular-shaped spaces and heavy rolling loads, FreeFit and other loose lay suppliers have implemented double-sided tape and easy-to-apply spray adhesives to secure perimeter planks or tiles.
"Our new iNTACT loose lay floor does not require overall adhesive but we do recommend double-sided tape or spray adhesive around the perimeter and in areas with pivoting objects such as refrigerators," said Rogg.

ALT Inks PBH Contract with Airbus for EC145 T2 Fleet
Source: Airbus Helicopters
Airbus Helicopters and ADAC Luftfahrt Technik (ALT), the maintenance arm of ADAC Luftrettung, have signed a parts-by-the-hour service contract for the air rescue organization's EC145 T2 fleet. The 10-year service agreement with a volume of some 25 million euros covers a comprehensive range of services for the new aircraft.

André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, a broad coalition is calling for more transparency in the labelling of genetically modified organisms. Like the Bloc Québécois, this Quebec coalition wants the government not to thwart the Codex Alimentarius negotiations on GMO guidelines being held this week in Quebec City.
Does the government plan on supporting the plan that is on the table, which would protect a country that imposes mandatory labelling of GMOs from being brought before the WTO tribunals on those grounds?

Mike Allen Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, our government's economic action plan provides more support than ever before for Canadians in the area of arts and culture.
Earlier today, our government delivered on another promise in our economic action plan to create a new, world-class prize to honour Canadian artists.
Could the Minister of Canadian Heritage please tell us how our Conservative government is supporting the arts and giving artists from coast to coast to coast a chance to be honoured around the world?

Mr. Speaker, I was very pleased earlier today to be joined by the National Ballet of Canada and the legendary Karen Kain, the Canadian Opera Company and the Writers' Union of Canada in support of our government's proposal to create the Canada Prize for the Arts and Creativity.
This is going to be one of the largest, multidisciplinary prizes for artists in the entire world. It is going to be hosted here in Canada, and it has the support of the artistic community. Here is what Joe Rotman, the chair of the Canada Council for the Arts, said to the Prime Minister. He said, "Thank you for your commitment to our cultural success. Your leadership will recognize Canadian excellence of the highest possible standards. We look forward to creating something significant for Canada's cultural future".
We are delivering for the arts.

Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, the government has promised much but delivered nothing on the issue of pension reform.
The toughest problems are facing those who rely on long-term disability benefits, while their companies are going bankrupt, and there are thousands of vulnerable Canadians in this predicament today.
Bill S-216, now in the Senate, fixes the bankruptcy problems for thousands of people and it could be passed unanimously as early as tomorrow night. Will the Prime Minister instruct his senators to get this job done today?

Mr. Speaker, the government has been consulting all across Canada. The Minister of Finance has consulted all across Canada. This is an important issue for Canadians. We will put in place those forms that help Canadians and will be the best thing for Canadians.
400th Anniversary of Quebec City
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, although the Government of Quebec and Quebec City have paid everything they promised toward the celebrations of the 400th anniversary of Quebec City—$40 million and $5 million respectively—the federal government has paid only $37.5 million of the $40 million it promised.
A year and a half after the festivities concluded, this dispute is complicating the negotiations concerning the surplus of the Société des fêtes du 400e anniversaire de Québec, which is estimated at some $2.5 million.
What is the minister for the Quebec City region waiting for to resolve this situation and quickly pay the full amount the government promised?
400th Anniversary of Quebec City
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Josée Verner Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for giving me the opportunity to say once again how successful the celebrations of the 400th anniversary of Quebec City were. Unfortunately, I have to say that the Bloc members did not contribute to that success. That said, the surplus generated by the festivities will be reinvested in the Quebec City area.
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, a report just out warns that first nations languages in B.C. are in deep trouble. If immediate action is not taken, most will be lost within six years. There are now only 5,600 fluent speakers left and most of them are older than 65.
The window is narrowing to preserve these languages and the culture and knowledge systems that they represent. We need investments in human and financial resources to create new generations of fluent speakers.
Will the minister act now to preserve first nations languages?
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions

Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam
James Moore Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages
Mr. Speaker, yes, this is a cause for concern. In fact, in a week and half's time I will be meeting with George Abbott, who is the minister responsible for this in the province of British Columbia, to come together with a plan with first nations communities, the province and the federal government about how we can best protect these aboriginal languages.
It is part of our heritage. It is the responsible thing to do. We are working with the province of British Columbia to get something done.
International Co-operation
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Bob Rae Toronto Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the minister of international development.
The minister will be aware that a decision by her department to cut all funding for MATCH International, a budget of over $400,000 a year, is yet another sign of the ideological direction of the government, cutting an advocacy organization for women, forcing it to lay off staff, forcing it to stop its work, forcing it to stop fighting for women's equality around the world.
Just what kind of a grudge does the government have for the women's organizations around the country that are working so hard for women?
International Co-operation
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Bev Oda Minister of International Cooperation
Mr. Speaker, let me put the facts on the record. A 2009 evaluation of this organization showed there were performance and management shortcomings, declining organizational capacity that had not been sufficiently addressed by the organization. In fact, there is a question as to the organization's capacity to manage and deliver programs.
This government will ensure that it uses its international assistance effectively and accountably so we can really make a difference in the lives of those who want to move out of poverty.
Winnipeg North
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
The Speaker Peter Milliken
It is my duty to inform the House that a vacancy has occurred in the representation, Ms. Judy Wasylycia-Leis, member for the electoral district of Winnipeg North, by resignation effective April 30, 2010.
Pursuant to subsection 25(1)(b) of the Parliament of Canada Act, I have addressed a warrant to the Chief Electoral Officer for the issue of a new writ for the election of a member to fill this vacancy.

Power outages possible this summer
June 4, 2008
There is a "distinct possibility" eastern New Mexico and West Texas will have controlled power outages this summer if above-average temperatures continue, Xcel Energy spokesman Wes Reeves said.
Reeves said if Xcel is unable to meet demands this summer, the company could shut down power to randomly selected 50 megawatt areas for one hour. The areas would exclude hospitals, nursing homes and key municipal buildings. The most likely times for the outages would be between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., which are the company's peak energy hours, Reeves said.
He said the company would inform affected customers through the media before an outage occurs.
Xcel, which serves 386,000 customers in eastern New Mexico and West Texas, reported a 19.4 percent increase in power usage in May from a year ago related to higher-than-normal temperatures, according to Reeves.
Farmers' Electric Cooperative, which serves 6,400 customers in Curry, De Baca, Guadalupe, Harding, Quay, Roosevelt and San Miguel counties, has also experienced an increase demand for power.
Thom Moore, a spokesman for Farmers' Electric, attributes a rise in its customers' energy demand to irrigation usage and the economy.
"There are a lot of homes being built that are all electric; farmers are converting from gas motors that pump water for wells to electric, and they are converting from diesel to electric because of the high cost of diesel," Moore said. "Economics is the driving force as to why they are converting to electric. Economics and convenience, because right now electricity is the better deal."
Farmers' purchases its power from Xcel. It is uncertain if Farmers' customers would be included in the controlled power outages, officials said.
Xcel and Farmers' Electric Cooperative Inc. officials believe the customers can make a big difference by being more conscious with their energy usage.
"The same way they would think about their gas tank, we want customers to think that way about the energy supply coming into their home," Reeves said. "It's more costly than it used to be and it's a little more scarce than it used to be. Very much like your gas tank."
Xcel has not had to resort to controlled outage in this area before, although outages are common for companies in Texas and California, according to Reeves. Ten years ago, Xcel came close to implementing power outages in eastern New Mexico and West Texas, according to Reeves, and the company credits customers for preventing the need for an outage.
"We did this in 1998, which was another record breaking year. We had a very close call that day to having controlled outages," Reeves said. "After we talked to customers, we actually saw a decrease of about 5 percent (in usage), which is very significant. We credit the customers for helping us get through the day."
The cost and difficulty of building new power plants is the reason for the power shortage, according to Reeves. He said new power plants and power lines are financed by the company's base rate, which he said has not increased in New Mexico in 21 years.
"It's good in that we have not been charging high cost through the years, but it is bad because we haven't kept up either," Reeves said.
Reeves said a generating station under construction in Hobbs, scheduled to be operational this month, would have eliminated the possibility of controlled outages by adding 500 megawatts per hour of energy into the grid.
However, its opening has been pushed back to July or August.

Implications for nursing practice
▪ Nurse prescribing roles can be successfully implemented within acute healthcare services, but effective workforce planning is required to engage the whole team.
▪ Nurse prescribers have the potential to enhance patient satisfaction with medication information in acute settings. The impact of this on concordance and adherence requires further study.
Implications for nursing research
▪ The impact of increased satisfaction on concordance and adherence rates requires further study.
▪ The findings suggest that further research is necessary with Black and Minority Ethnic populations, with a particular focus on concerns about prescribed medication.
The aim of this study was to outline the differences that prescribing roles make to team working to investigate how independent prescribers employ their roles in an acute hospital environment and what difference this can make with respect to …

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (140 votes).
In short: Fast friendly and fabulous!In full: My second marathon after Windermere hence the 100% for PB! The hill at Parliament Street wasn't nearly as bad as I'd been led to believe. The frequency of water stations was perfect and there were plenty of gels and sports drinks on offer too.The support was fantastic. The charity teams, especially the Alzheimers cheerers were really funny and made me smile as they all cheered my name as if I was one of their own family! It wasn't just "come on, you're doing really great" but more personal, funny words of encouragement. This makes a massive difference when you're struggling. The people of Liverpool should be proud, as should the organisers. I really can't fault this race. There was no goody bag but an energy bar, fantastic tec-tshirt, fruit, drinks and an awesome medal made up for that. I absolutely recommend this race to anyone! Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: This was my first marathon & I am still going over it in my head 2 days later!Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: Fantastic first marathon, will hopefully be back next year :)In full: Runliverpool couldnt of made it any better of an experiance for me, well organised, fantastic support from locals, great route. One of my favourite all time events :DDate of review: October 16, 2012
In short: well organised and great support from the public. end of tunnel and finish are highlightsDate of review: October 16, 2012
In short: Special and emotional race In full: This marathon challenges your mental strength during 13-19miles as you climb the hills in tunnel and upper parliament street. Great feeling when you conquer the 26.2 miles. A must for anyone wanting a sense of achievement.Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: First time MarathonIn full: With this being my first time marathon I have no real frame of reference but I have to say I thought the organisation was magnificent! Start was bang on time, hundreds of toilets, baggage was quick and easy (although bags being handed out by the trucks would help those that missed them!).As others have said the support was great, coming out of the tunnel after being pulled up the hill by the sound of the drums reverberating down the tunnel was unreal! Big thank you to all the volunteers and the support! Just about got me sprinting the last km despite starting to cramp!Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: fantastic organisation, great run, challenging in parts, tunnell exit was amazing, definately recommend itDate of review: October 16, 2012
In short: Scenic, interesting and friendly - no queues at loos or kit drop!In full: Thoroughly enjoyed it ... except for possibly the uphill tunnel part and Parliament Hill :) bits! It was so well organised - no queues at the kit bag vans, practically no queues for the loos beforehand and plenty of volunteers handing out the water and gels! The start was great - only took me 1.5 minutes to get over the line and the finish funnel was kept moving and plenty of places to sit at the end! I'm trying to think of any bad points as it really was fab - including the support on this thread! The only thing that would have been better could have been moving the start slightly so people didn't have to wade across the field to get to the portaloos - there were plenty of wet feet at the start.Loved the route and runnig along the river and through the city. Couldn't belive how beautiful Liverpool was and the people were fab!! Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend there. Also excellent support on the forum thread.Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: fast!In full: As a slower runner and first time marathoner it was a bit lonely after 5 hours - numbers dropped at the back as did support in some areas, HOWEVER this is to be expected with a relatively new race, and is no reflection on the organisation or the volunteers! The hill at 18 miles seemed to come as as a shock to a lot of people, only the truly hardy were running up it, but what's a challenge if it isn't challenging?!Overall I enjoyed, organisation was great, and hopefully slower runners will be encouraged to sign up for there is surely power in numbers!Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: Brilliant organisation from Alan and his team.Date of review: October 16, 2012

Apple Wins in Microsoft's Vicious Cycle of PC Abuse
It's even time to lay off jabs at Steve Ballmer and his company's less than desirable Surface tablet .
Unless Sinofsky's exit was step one in a Bill Gates' master plan nobody knows about, Ballmer's not going anywhere, even if shareholders raise hell.
With the stock unable to hold $30 when it had the chance on a slight whiff of Windows 8 euphoria, MSFT shareholders have a choice of three positions: Get out, be happy with an increasing dividend yield on a dying stock or put your faith in Ballmer.
Loyalty vis-a-vis an investment is a dumb concept. Given the obstacles Microsoft faces, faith will not be rewarded.
PC Confusion and Tablet Adoption
Barclays, via Forbes, anticipates PC sales and demand to swoon precipitously "for years to come."
The firm has legitimate answers for the lame defenses PC and MSFT bulls use to make a case. It's all so reminiscent of what happened last year with Research in Motion (RIMM) . The same thing is happening right now with Intel (INTC) .
Just like RIM bulls defended with The enterprise won't leave RIM because of security line, MSFT ardents speak of "replacement cycles" and emerging markets growth.
Barclays squashes that nonsense with reasonable offshoots of smartphone and tablet -- particularly iPhone and iPad -- PC cannibalization.
Businesses will move more slowly to replace PC accoutrements because they're diverting resources to mobile initiatives. They're also embracing tablets (in lieu of PCs) at a rapid pace. And, in emerging markets, consumers will adopt smartphones and tablets earlier in the cycle than Americans did causing them to fall far short of the 100% penetration per person in the U.S.
Retail Presence
Microsoft should be embarrassed by its retail presence. I'm not sure how Steve Ballmer can show his face in public after knocking off Apple's (AAPL) design and failing miserably in the process.
Relatively speaking, Microsoft stores are a waste of space.
According to RetailSales, Apple ranks number one among over 200 chains across 15 sectors with sales of $6,050 per square foot. That's double No. 2 Tiffany & Co. (TIF) ($3,017) and way ahead of a gaggle of strong others, including Lululemon (LULU) (No. 3 at $1,936) and Coach (COH) (No. 4 at $1,871).
These companies all have something Microsoft and its partners do not have -- unique retail experiences driven by atmosphere, exclusive and premium products, exceptional customer service or some powerful mix of one or more of the above.
These points link together to tell a story of abuse: We're living through a vicious cycle where enablers help losers lose and losers help enablers enable. And nobody has the guts, the will or the capacity to make a true break from the pack like Apple did when Steve Jobs came back as CEO.


text: So, should Joe Miller have to answer questions about his background or not? Forty members of the Alaska Republican Party have signed their names to a letter urging tea party candidate Joe Miller, who is running as the GOP nominee for Senate in that state, to begin answering questions about his own background and qualifications for office, the Anchorage Daily News reports. "It is unacceptable -- and certainly not a winning strategy -- to explicitly refuse to answer reasonable questions about oneself, and to disrespect the Alaska public and the press' right to do so before the questions have even been asked," the letter, which was signed by members of the party's central committee as well as other GOP officials, stated. At issue is the media's attempt to find out more about Miller's time at the Fairbanks North Star Borough. After Miller's personnel file was leaked to reporters, it was learned that Miller had violated the borough's ethics policy and was nearly fired as a result of conducting political activities on computers belonging to the borough's other employees. A judge in Alaska is expected to rule this weekend on whether the public is entitled to know more about what is contained in the file, Anchorage Daily News reported. 40 Alaska Republicans Tell Joe Miller to Stop Dodging Questions
