Shakib Al Hasan suspended for six months by BCB
Shakib Al Hasan has been suspended by the BCB from all cricket for six months and will not be granted an NOC to play in overseas competitions until the end of 2015.
The punishment was handed out because of Shakib's "serious misbehaviour" with Bangladesh's new coach Chandika Hathurusingha, and for his altercation with a spectator during the recent first ODI against India in Mirpur.
Shakib has been involved in several disputes in the recent past.
He had left for the Caribbean to play in the CPL without a valid NOC, and reportedly threatened to quit playing Tests and Twenty20 internationals when asked by Hathurusingha to return and join a training camp

I do a lot of early morning rides to work and was told by a fellow employee they could see my light very bright from a long distance. Only had one problem a couple of times could not get the light to turn off. I now use two lights keep one blinking and the other on steady.
Best Uses
I would buy Bontrager Flare R without even thinking for a second. I have used many other taillights in the past and I can easily say this taillight is the gold standard of bike taillights. Visibility is very important for us road cyclist and Bontrager Flare R does its job perfectly. I see many cyclist on the road with poor visibility and I cringe. I worry about their safety. A taillight is not a worth anything when a car driver can only see you when they get really really close. It's often too late. It sounds a bit pricey but it's worth every penny when you think about the alternatives.
Best Uses
I was impressed with the brightness of this lamp. I had no difficulty attaching it to my seat post. It is easily removed for charging. Testing it in direct sunlight, it was quite bright and visible from well over 200 yards away. Drivers should easily see this from a long way away. While a little on the pricey side, I think the safety factor makes it well worth it. This is easily the brightest bike tail light I have ever seen or used.
This bad boy works like a champ. Super bright. On my first ride with this light I even noticed more girls honking, waving and smiling. One even rolled her window down and asked if I wanted to go out. Get this light.
I was hesitant because of the price and reading that others had difficulty shutting the light off. Neither of those reasons should prevent you from ordering. Money well spent because of visibility and everyone who sees the light wants one because of that. Turning the light off is easy - just hold down the button for about 3 seconds and the light turns off. Apparently these people have not tried holding the button down till the light shuts off. Easy to use. The difficulty for me was attaching it to the clip. LOL but once you line it up and it goes click you have a VERY secure attachment. No bumps are going to knock that light off! Really good product and could save your life because everyone can see you!
Powerful and bright flash mode but not well built used it about 5 times over 4 months now it does not hold a charge.
Best Uses
If you ride on the road either for training or commuting, this should be your next purchase. This light is super bright in the daytime and the flashing pattern is not steady, so drivers can't easily tune it out. The extreme brightness gives you visibility from so far away that even if a motorist is distracted by their phone or other passengers, they will have to look up frequently enough that they will see your light long before they get to you. I have had several drivers pull up beside me and comment on the great visibility. I used to get close-passed and swiped a lot on the road, but now the only drivers who know perfectly well I'm there, but they're jerks. Warning: If you're riding with a group, turn to the lower brightness or turn it off. Your training partners will complain of the blinding light when you're taking a pull.
Best Uses
The mounting bracket has adjustments for rotation (vert or horizontal mounting) and for diameter of bar. But not for angle of mount. When you mount this to your seat post, it points down toward the ground, negating most of the brightness. The instructions show it angled perfectly back, level to the ground, but I can't get it to point that way. As for brightness, yes it is a bit brighter than my previous blinky, but I expected it to be much brighter. I guess lumens and visibility is a log type thing, where it takes 10 times more to appear double, or something like that.
Best Uses
When you need to be seen by drivers, this light is a great choice. After a commute to work, I realized I had lost my trusty Cygolite Hotshot 2W tail light. I retraced my route at lunch, to no avail. I bought this and it has thus far exceeded my expectations. Admittedly I have not had it long, but am very pleased. The daylight settings and side visibility are especially great.
Best Uses
This is a revolution in taillights brought about by the latest LED and battery technology. Despite what seems like a high price for a bicycle taillight, the Flare R is a hot selling item. When it comes to safety on the bike, the price is well worth the benefits. I've spotted the Flare R on the road many times well before the cyclist came into my view. That's when I started using mine during the day as well as at night. The only caution is to use the low steady or flashing setting when on a pack ride. The high settings are too much for the other riders. It's real simple to check the charge status with a red/orange/green indicating light. Charging is real simple with my phone cord since the Flare R has a micro USB connection. I always use the flashing, opposed to steady mode, since it does a better job getting the attention of drivers. This is what I've read in light reviews as well as experienced in our tests with our boys on their bikes. However, I've heard the steady light mode does help drivers better judge distance from cyclists at night. The multiple mounts allow for a quick connection to a saddle bag or seat post. Have fun and be and feel safer with the Flare R!

Theres more posts on here after a loss from peeps then after a win..lol As far as CC's velocity, it dose't look good, but outside of that terrible 1st, he pitched brilliantly.. Hes just gotta stop giving up runs early in games, and he'll be fine, and will be fine..
Our offense is terrible against lefties, at least untill we get Mark Texiera back, which will help.. Seems were getting lefties thrown at us every night lately..
Ben Fracisco simply isn't a ML bat at all.. I hope we bring up David Adams or someone like that.. Time to see what some of these guys got, and i'd start with David Adams, whos bat is solid..

Off the court, Lin's been even hotter. Linsanity is the most popular term to capture the buzz. Everybody's talking Lin. My 9-year-old daughter has been asking about him every day. Even my wife, who prides herself on being checked out of popular culture, knows about Jeremy Lin.
In other words, Jeremy Lin has gone viral. The viral buzz seems even more intense than it was for Tim Tebow earlier in the year.
So what lessons, if any, can Jeremy Lin and Linsanity teach viral marketers? Here's what I think.
You Need a Story Before the Story Can Go Viral
By story, of course, I mean a real story, a compelling story. The best-known example is that Dog Bites Man is not a story. Man Bites Dog is a story. In other words, the common or expected is not a story.
In the basketball world, Lebron James scoring 20+ points for 5 games in a row is not a story. Happens all the time. Even for lesser players, that kind of scoring would hardly garner much more than "Yeah, he's playing well lately," if it got any attention at all.
But with Lin, there's much more. Jeremy Lin is one of just 15 NBA players since 1986 to record at least 20 points, seven assists and a steal in six consecutive games.
That makes his performance historically significant, but that's not enough to push the story viral. It's too insider-y.
This ESPN True Hoop article point to other stats that make Jeremy Lin's performance worthy of being a story – and a good story.
Lin's 136 points in his first five NBA starts is the most for any player in 36 years. In addition, Lin is the only player since the NBA/ABA merger to win his first five starts while scoring 20 or more points in each.
But as incredible as those stats are, on their own they would lack what it takes to go viral. They help sustain the virus but didn't initiate it. The Linsanity started before his stats built up to these truly impressive levels.
Viral marketing lesson #1: Viral marketers need to have a keen ear for story so they don't waste time and money investing in an idea that doesn't have potential. It doesn't have to be a full-fledged linear story. It actually only needs to be the kernel of a story, something truly compelling that generates a story in the re-telling and sharing.
"I can't believe what I just saw…" and "You gotta see this…" are the responses that viral marketing is after, because you know they're going to give the story more viral momentum. To get there, viral marketing needs to defy expectations.
Viral Marketing Defies Expectations
On their own, the stats above are truly impressive. But who's heard about the 14 other guys who scored 20 points with 7 assists and a steal in six consecutive games? My guess is almost nobody.
One of the key ingredients in the Jeremy Lin story and the story of viral marketing is expectations. People rarely talk about it when something expected happens. Viral marketing thrives by delivering the unexpected.
That a blender can blend fruit into smoothies is expected. That a blender can blend (or try to blend) an iPhone, a Rubix cube, golf balls, a Nintendo Wii, a crowbar and a Ford Fiesta, was highly unexpected and led to a viral marketing homerun, the Will It Blend? YouTube videos for Blendtec.
The Old Spice Guy campaign became a viral marketing mega-hit by subverting expectations of a traditional personal hygiene commercial, by blending random and surreal elements with quotable copy and a bizarrely charismatic lead actor.
The Jeremy Lin viral buzz got going based on defying three expectations in a big way.
What was Jeremy Lin expected to do in the NBA? Nothing. That's why no team drafted him. When he finally made a team, he got cut. Then cut again. So expectation #1 was that he would fail based on basketball evaluations by the experts in the NBA. Undrafted, cut twice, he arrives at team #3 DOA. Expectation #2 was failure based on his being from Harvard. The Ivy League just doesn't produce NBA stars (at least not since Bill Bradley). The third expectation was failure based on Lin's ethnicity: he's Chinese-American. And while Yao Ming was a sensation not long ago, there have had been zero Americans of Chinese or Taiwanese descent in the NBA. Zero.
But having these 3 big strikes against him made him a curiosity early on. Undrafted, really? Harvard, really. Chinese, really? The last one especially, since being the first of anything is noteworthy and that's a very big demographic that had yet to be represented in the NBA.
So Lin started his first game as a novelty and underdog and was therefore teed up to generate big-time buzz if somehow he could subvert the built-in expectations (and some would say stereotypes). Which he started to do from day one.
Viral marketing lesson #2: Look for novelty, surprise, the surreal – anything that defies expectations. When you have an idea, push it further to make it memorable and share-worthy. Undrafted player playing well is a story, but not viral. Undrafted from Harvard playing really well might take off if there's something else compelling about him personally. Push your campaign to that tipping point where it has enough to get viral traction.
Audience Matters for Viral Marketing Success
Viral success depends on sharing, and sharing skews young. The 18 – 29 Gen Y demographic is often the driving force of effective viral marketing, since they share a lot and are often seen as the group to decide if something is cool and buzz-worthy.
The NBA fan base is pretty youthful (according to these stats, 25% of fans attending games were 18 – 29 and 62% were 44 or younger), as well as concentrated in major media markets, so Lin had a built-in base of Tweeters, Facebook sharers, bloggers and YouTube video posters to spread his story, if there was any.
Jeremy Lin also had from the beginning two very interested audiences ready to amplify the buzz about his success: New York and Asians.
New York is the largest media market, and it's a passionate basketball city that's without a major (sorry St. John's) college program. So the NBA and the Knicks get all the attention. Knick fans have been desperate for success and this year their desperation had begun to focus on the need for a point guards. So, when injuries and other issues forced Jeremy Lin from the end of the bench into the starting rotation, millions of eyes focused on him. Most were likely bemoaning their bad luck to be down to Jeremy Lin running their team's offence and therefore ready to be thrilled when he defied their expectations.
Asian-Americans (followed by Asians abroad) were another built-in audience for Lin. As noted above, they'd never seen an Asian-American in the NBA so there was obvious keen interest in his story. His early success made it likely that this audience would spread the word and help it go viral, taking it well beyond the typical NBA or any other sports story. A feel-good story is often considered too corny for marketing in our cynical society, but there are times, like this one, where a feel-good story helps it go viral.
Viral marketing lesson #3: Make sure you are producing viral content for at least one audience you expect it to resonate with and be shared by. A viral marketing campaign can't even get started if it doesn't resonate with any particular audience. Identify which element(s) of your viral campaign are likely to do that.
Emotions Feed Viral Marketing
Connecting with people on some emotional level makes viral success more likely.
Humor (Blendtec), especially irreverent or over-the-top humor (Subservient Chicken), tends to work well with viral campaigns. Also surprise (Evian's Live Young skating babies). Curiosity and intrigue (Blair Witch).
Jeremy Lin's story misses out on the big push humor can provide, but it does capitalize on surprise and curiosity. There's also empathy at work, people rooting for the underdog, someone more like they are, fighting against all odds. The Lin story also has another big factor in it's favor: likeability of the central character.
When Betty White rose to viral fame, much of it was attributable to the surprise and intrigue factor of a Facebook petition to get her on Saturday Night Live, but the campaign was a viral marketing success because she was likeable. It was funny (and random) to suddenly push for an 80-something TV star to host a young and edgy show, but people could better get behind it because she's such a likeable star. Jeremy Lin also seems quite likeable. Lin comes across as a smart, hard-working, humble guy, a guy so unsure of how he fit into the Knicks he was sleeping on his brother's couch. In a world of over-entitled and look-at-me sports stars his low profile but intense and successful approach stood out. And encouraged people to root for him. And spread the buzz about him. Again and again and again.
Viral marketing lesson #4: Hook people emotionally and they'll more likely be motivated to share their emotion. Laughter and surprise are good starting points. And if you are featuring a person in your viral marketing campaign, make it someone likeable, someone that others will line up to support. Some viral characters don't really need to be likeable, per se, but they must at least be charismatic or attention-getting in some way (I'd put Old Spice guy in this category as not as likeable as watchable).
Viral Marketing Requires Distribution Channels
Jeremy Lin doesn't have to worry about distribution. Being seen regularly in the largest media market, on national TV, in nightly ESPN highlights, and in daily sports pages ensures that enough people are aware of his story even before it spread on social media. Most viral marketing campaigns won't get this kind of head start.
Viral marketing lesson #5: Viral marketing campaigns need to be integrated into all the social media platforms to facilitate sharing. Ideally you can get a critical mass of socially influential people to tweet about, blog about, post to Facebook, and put the word out to their followers that this is something to look at.
How long with the Linsanity last? Hard to say. He doesn't need to score 20 points every night. In fact, the Knick-Kings game just ended as I'm wrapping up this post Tuesday night and Lin scored just 10 points…but had 13 assists and the Knicks won 7 straight with him. So on it goes…
As long as it's a good story. As long as he keeps defying expectations. As long as he continues to connect with his audience. As long he stays the likeable kid he seems to be. And as long as he keeps appearing on the sports highlights.
And then the playoffs will arrive, just as they did for Tebow. We'll see.
Good luck Jeremy.


text: If not for the Phantom Holding call on Kevin Boothe the Giants would have kept momentum and probable would have scored a TD the way they were moving the Ball. If Mario Manningham had not faded on the route and missed the earlier over the shoulder pass the Giants would have been in scoring position again. So stop making excuses, it makes you look worse than you all ready do. The better team with the better quarterback won that game.

Been reading about biodiesel from Waste Vegetable Oil (fast food joints). There was another seminar at the farm show where I was speaking on bees. You Tube has a bunch of guys making kitchen-grade blender batches.
I've read the archived searches on biodiesel.
Apart from the opinions and P&R, has anyone on this list actually a) converted their diesel to run on straight WVO, or b) bought one of those fuel meister units (around $3 grand) to transform WVO with methanol and lye?

>>Analyisis of oral arguments using excerpts from Court audio is available here.
Yesterday morning, I was privileged to attend Supreme Court oral arguments in Halliburton Co. v. Erica P. John Fund, Inc.
This is the case where Halliburton is asking the Supreme Court to overturn a 26-year old precedent in order to make it infinitely more difficult for shareholders to stand up for their rights in court against corporations that have defrauded them out of their hard-earned money. Halliburton itself is accused by plaintiffs, led by an organization supporting the charitable work of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, of making material misrepresentations to its investors on such issues as its asbestos liability, causing losses to those investors.
As Alliance for Justice noted in our new report, "Halliburton at the Supreme Court: What's at Stake in Halliburton, Inc. v. Erica P. John Fund," if the Supreme Court rules the way Halliburton is asking it to, "In many instances, it would essentially be giving businesses like Halliburton a 'get out of jail free' card to defraud their own shareholders without consequence."

I am moving to Yokosuka (recognize the pin) in January so my parts will sit in storage for two years while I dream of the build. Did the jig work out for you? I was thinking about a machined aluminum jig but yours is more simple.

Last year's fourth installment in the Forza Motorsport series celebrated the car geek. Its introduction featured none other than the premier automotive ambassador, Jeremy Clarkson, waxing poetic about horsepower, speed, and "mechanical soul." His lament was that the gearhead is an endangered species, the odd one out, which makes it just a little ironic that the latest game bearing the Forza moniker is less about the gear ratios and suspension settings, as it is the flash and style of how players drive.
It's worth noting that Forza Horizon isn't meant to be a successor in the Forza line, rather a spinoff that bears the name. However, once you accept the Forza Horizon shift to a much more relaxed style of racing, there are hours of enjoyment in this game.
Forza Horizon is set against a festival celebrating music and cars in Colorado. It's an open-world driving game that's sure to draw comparisons to titles like Test Drive Unlimited, Burnout Paradise, Driver: San Francisco, and others. But while it shares an open world framework, Horizon is different in a lot of ways that count.
Forza Horizon seems to have been created as a composite of the Colorado landscape. There's a fictional ski town on one side of the abbreviated state and desert canyons and mesas on the other. An old mining town and several small cities populate the middle, all boasting Colorado's picture-perfect natural beauty. The only feature missing is the flat, open, and boring eastern third of the state.
As soon as you load the game, you are given only two choices: single or multiplayer. While all of the game's 216 roads are open and discoverable from the beginning, you can't do the same with cars since there is no arcade mode to try out different models. You must earn your way up the ranks to gain credits to buy cars, although previous Forza 4 players will receive a small garage worth of automobiles for their loyalty to the series.

Indianapolis - The Indiana Civil Rights Commission (ICRC) approved its Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2015-18 today. The Strategic Plan establishes a framework for achieving the ICRC's mission to stop and remedy unlawful discrimination, so that the State of Indiana might soon realize the Commission's vision of justice and equality. Implementation of the new Strategic Plan will begin immediately.
"In approving the Strategic Plan, the ICRC today is taking a significant step toward realizing the Commission's vision of ending discrimination and promoting equal opportunity in the State of Indiana," said ICRC Executive Director Jamal L. Smith. "I am very pleased with the hard work of staff across the agency who provided assistance throughout the planning process, and I look forward to the successful implementation of the plan."
The Strategic Plan serves as the framework for the Commission to achieve its mission by focusing on three strategic objectives:
The three strategic objectives each have a number of performance measures detailing outcomes to be achieved during the four year period the plan is in effect. The different outcomes are designed to measure the Commission's progress in carrying out its mission in a time of static resources and a growing need for services.
The plan was created by work groups comprised of ICRC staff, with a broad range of internal and external expertise and understanding of the programs and activities conducted within the agency.

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
we stayed for just over a week and had the most amazing time! Laurence and Nick are nothing short of amazing! so very helpful, we had an email most days to tell us what was going on in the area, which meant that we caught a few things that we wouldn't have known about if we were in a hotel. they were always there to help if needed but didn't intrude on our time for a second. the attic room is wonderful, i have to be honest i was slightly dubious about the 'open bathroom' situation but as the attic is so big you honestly wouldn't even hear someone talking from one end of the room to the other so it really caused no issues whatsoever.
the castro area where the house is located is such a lovely area, probably my favourite area in san francisco, its great staying in a house in a nice neighbourhood rather than being surrounded with hundreds of people when you leave your hotel room.
there are plenty of places to eat/drink within a 5 min walk of the house, which laurence and nick had laid all out for us on a few maps to make it even easier to find places.
at the bottom of the road you can jump on all sorts of transport to go downtown, its in a great position actually for getting around the whole of the city.
i had never used wimdu before and after this experience i will be using it all the time, staying here honestly made our holiday even more memorable.
a massive thank you to nick and laurence
I had a fantastic stay at Laurence's house. it is a wonderful very spacious room with a fantastic view over the town that makes you want to stay there all day long.
It is very well equiped, close to metro, bus, facilities and the amazing castro theatre. I have received daily suggestions to explore San Francisco.
It was a real pleasure and I would recommend highyl this room. I have been received warmly, got a lot of information and it was a pleasure to exchange with hosts.Would love to come back!
Laurence and Nick are fantastic people and their house is just beautiful and perfectly located at Castro. You can't be visiting San Francisco if you don't stay at their home!!!!
This was a last minute decision due to the fact that a previous booking we had made was cancelled by the host, and we had to find an alternative quickly.
The "attic" was very well appointed and quite comfortable. The hosts were very obliging and ready to give assistance and suggest places to eat shop and visit.
The view over the City was terrific.The location was convenient and quite close to everything.
We enjoyed the privacy we had in Laurence's private room and the view over San Francisco. Close to public transport and quiet!
Nick and Laurence were great hosts, very friendly and helpful in finding sightseeing spots ang getting around the city.
The apartment itself is clean and cosy and has an amazing view over San Francisco Bay - definitely a better view than in most of the hotels you find in the city.
The apartment is very close to public transportation with a direct connection through town up to Fishermans wharf and offers a broad range of bars and restaurants in walking distance as well as grocery stores.
When we are coming back to San Francisco one day, this apartment will be definitely our choice again.
Thank you Nick and Laurence, see you soon
Marcus & Oliver
Just i saw the attic i had the feeling to be in something special. I felt the calm inside of myself and the impression was very good. I felt really happy. Laurence and his beautiful labrador came to meet me and showed me the mansard. Everything was in the right place and cleaned. The attic is very big and bright. Also the bed is very big and comfortable. I was alone to spend my holiday week but i never felt lonely in that house. I ve nothing bad to say about the attic, it' s simply perfect according to my taste. And the best thing of that attic is the splendid view of San Francisco that i could enjoy from the large window. Thanks Laurence for everything and your kindness. Cinzia
We loved our stay in San Francisco.
The room was very spacy.
We had a gorgeous view over the city.
Due to our jetlag we saw every sunrise;)
Laurence and Nick were very nice and gave us much privacy.
If we ever come back we would definitely like to stay there again!
The appartment which is located in the attic of their house is fantastic - great view, good bed, clean & tidy and nice bath.
The host Laurence is great - amongst others, he gave good advice on what´s good in SF and the area.
Nick sent daily mails with tips and insights.
Will return to Nick and Laurence next time I´m in SF.

Where I stayed
On the bus!
We left for the Salar from Tupiza, a more expensive option but as we found the rumours to be true, worth every penny. Six of us travelled in a 4x4 jeep, a Portuguese couple, us, our fabulous guide come driver Santos and the very talented chef Isabella. We toured with La Torre and had an excellent experience- could not fault our carers however, the jeep could have done with a new set of wheels.
We packed up and boarded our private jeep at 8am and set off on the 500 mile trip to Uyuni, taking in the most spectacular scenery you could ever imagine. The first day, we spent a long time in the car but stopped regularly to admire the steep drops and irregular rock formations that give Tupiza its�reputation
After a quick breakfast- at 5am we hit the road again. We had the longest distance to cover, but the most sights to see. We started by watching the sun set over a ghost town abandoned by miners a hundred years ago. With beautiful views down the valley it was the perfect start, and we had all had a chance to nap in the jeep first! After several more hours of bone rattlingly bumpy roads, we arrived at the first of the great lakes
Our third day was spent visiting the desert that ajoins the Chilean Atacama, the driest place on earth. There were a few slightly less spectauclr lagoons en route to the Salar, but that did not matter as the pastle colours of the mountains, often described as painted by Dali, dwarfed our view. It was like another world, the colours caused by different minerals gel together to make the back drop look like a beautiful painting. Unbelievable is the only word we can describe it. We visited some volcanic rocks that had been eroded by the wind making them looklike trees. There was also a smoking volcano in the background whilst we stood on its field of lava- very surreal when you can see how many meters thick and for how many miles it stretches for! We visited a thermal lake which was a pleasant 30 degrees, we opted not to go for a swim in the natural pool though due to the temperature outside. No one was catching us in our skivvies at 0 degrees!!! We also saw some geysers which were very active and very smelly
As we raced towards the centre of the Salar, the sun was inching closer and closer to the surface, but we made it in time and watched as the pinks and purples flooded the white wonderland creating a feeling as if you were stood in the midle of a very cold pastel painting. The moon was still high in the sky, the mixture of all the light on the white hexagons of salt created a fairy tale land. The sun eventually showed its face 10 minutes later and the temperature immediately improved, and the colours changed from pastel pinks to a fiery orange. Santos sent us climbing up the catcus full hill so that we could admire the views from the top. the oldest cactus on the island was 1,200 years old- think of how many invaders they have seen in their years. As promised, the view from the top was unreal and we spent a very happy hour wandering between the cacti. Isabella called us for breakfast, hearty cake and lots of coca tea for Jamie before we hopped in the jeep for a drive out into the depths of the lake. Here, it is possible to take some unreal photographs- we were there for hours messing around with the camera! The time came when we sadly had to finish, we had an excellent time, the food was great, we just wish La Torre paid their staff better as we were horrified to find out that Isabella only earned 15 pounds for the whole trip! Thoroughly recommend it though, an unmissble experience!

CLC's Kurtz to recount Guatemala experience
Jan Kurtz of Fort Ripley, a Spanish and Latin American Studies instructor at Central Lakes College, will present the free, public Cultural Thursday program on Guatemala at noon March 7 in Chalberg Theatre on the Brainerd campus.
In February 2012, Kurtz spent the month in San Pedro Las Huertas, Guatemala. This small town just outside of Antigua is the site for Rising Villages, a project founded and run by Little Falls residents Dave and Bina Huebsch. It is a volunteer operation that has supported the people of Guatemala with educational, electrical, water, medical and community building endeavors over a 40-year period.
Kurtz will present information on the village and her time working at the Alabare Elementary school. She worked with three teachers and 35 students in the school. She wrote about the experience for the winter edition of Her Voice magazine in the article titled "Teaching Under the Shadow of the Volcano."
Cultural Thursdays are 50-minute events held the first Thursday of each month during the academic year at CLC, sponsored by the Resource Center for Cultures and Languages of America. Kurtz is the coordinator and may be reached for information at 218-855-8183.

You can get an effective aerobic workout with both an elliptical machine and a treadmill. In general, you can let your fitness goals determine whether you choose an elliptical machine or a treadmill — or a different piece of exercise equipment.
However, elliptical machines might offer some advantages over treadmills. For example:
Using an elliptical machine is generally considered low impact. An elliptical machine might be a good alternative to jogging, whether on a treadmill or outside.
An elliptical trainer shouldn't cause knee pain if you're using it correctly. You may experience knee pain, though, if you have an underlying knee problem, such as degenerative arthritis. With certain knee injuries, using a stationary bike might be a more appropriate option than using an elliptical machine. Talk to your doctor about what exercise is right for you if you have any injuries or health concerns.
And what if you're training for a 5K run or other road race? A treadmill is probably a better tool to prepare you for running events. But even if running is your main aerobic fitness activity, cross-training with an elliptical machine or other low-impact exercise equipment can help keep you fresh and prevent overload injuries.
If you use an elliptical machine, remember to maintain good posture to help ensure the most effective workout. Keep your shoulders back, your head up and your abdominal muscles tight. Look forward, not down at your feet. And don't lean on the handles — let your lower body support your weight.

I was in my early teens when this song came out.
This particular video demonstrates what an eneregtic city San Francsico is.
A little bit of what the "Occupy" groups are doing in these days. Something to think about.
Enjoy the song, Think about a summer of love.

Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll evolved into HIV/AIDS, Crack/Meth and Rap -which praises- rape, violence against the police and drug abuse.
The so called " summer of love " destroyed a generation of young kids through drugs, violence and promiscuity -
-it was a plague that continues to infect our kids.

>>"-it was a plague that continues to infect our kids."
The kids are infected, because their parents never grew up and still believe the crap that came out of the "summer of love".
Others of us who participated in "the summer of love" did grow up. I'm one. Gary is probably one, and maybe even Sharon is one.

Thanks for your question.
Far be it for me to suggest what you or anyone else should think.
What I thought as I observed this video is how the people in it, who largely are our age or older, displayed behavior akin to what I have seen in some of the current videos of "Occupy" events.
I then thought about where all those folks in that San Franscico Summer of Love in 1967--45 years ago--ended up, and where our courrent "Occupy" cohort will end up.
Do you have thoughts Karen?

Sharon -- Are you suggesting that "sex, drugs and rock & roll" are all terrible things that negatively influence our children and should be avoided at all costs? Without sex, you wouldn't exist. Without drugs, some people would be in pain for years. Without rock & roll -- well, let's just say the world would be a very dull place. And your comment about rap -- a broad and unfair generalization -- shows that you have probably never heard any, making a judgement about something you know nothing about (and saying sex leads to HIV/AIDS is also pretty ridiculous). Loosen up Sharon -- life doesn't have to be so uptight.

Karen -- OK, I'll bite. Why exactly do you think the kids in the video are "spoiled"? None of them look particularly wealthy to me. And I didn't see any footage of actual drug use, so why exactly do you assume they are "hooked on drugs"? Because people are dancing and having fun they must be on drugs?

OutsideObserver and Sharon paint a picture of a destroyed generation "The so called " summer of love " destroyed a generation of young kids" that they imply only OuttedObserver, Gary and Sharon survived.
Who knew?
All those 55-65 year olds that I know. Must be lying about their age, or hiding something. Geez, they look so normal. I thought they might all be dead, but the census tells us otherwise.
Who knew?
Funny thing, there were a lot of that age group, along with a lot of young kids at the Orpheum the other night. To see AMERICAN IDIOT. A great time, a great show, great music! Only nit? I didn't care for that many strobe lights at my advanced age of "55-65".
I'll leave it to others to draw the obvious conclusions regarding how the title American Idiot applies.
Be well!

>Karen -- OK, I'll bite. Why exactly do you think the kids in the video are "spoiled"?
Because I was there, and I was one of them. Most of them were spoilt brats from upper middle class families, like me. As an adult, I now realize how naive I was. However, I did have a lot of sex...and venereal disease...and sterlity. My life was changed by the 'summer of love', for the worse.

The CDC estimates that more 3.5 million " baby boomers" have hepatitis C - but do not know that are infected.
They contracted the hepatitis C infection decades ago through unprotected sex, IV drug use, or blood transfusions from contaminated supplies.
Many of these infections lie dormant for about 20 years or more, but are just now starting to emerge over the decade to come.
The unluckiest ones will end up suffering severe liver scarring (cirrhosis), liver cancer, liver transplants, and ultimately, premature death.
The Haight district in SF was a hot zone for intravenous speed and heroin abuse.
Promiscuous sex-- which was also a key part of the movement-- destroyed many lives and bodies.
SF health department gross malpractice a few years later was directly responsible for the HIV/AIDS epidemic in which many 100,000s of Americans died horrible deaths.
The SF health department refused to close the homosexual bath houses-
-the main vectors of HIV/AIDS-and they refused to quarantine the infected vectors.
The SF " summer of love" was a plague that continues to infect our kids.
Rap music is misogynistic, promotes violence and substance abuse.

As always, ten seconds on google shows what complete lunacy the statements are by Sharon.
hep C is predominant with boomers because of events in the 80's, not the 'summer of love'. "...likely due to increased injection drug use and use of blood and blood products for transfusion, which caused hepatitis C incidence to increase steadily throughout the 1980s."
Web Link
Who to believe? Sharon or the Surgeon General?
Tough choice, that.
Re: Sharon's numbers "The CDC estimates that more 3.5 million " baby boomers" have hepatitis C - but do not know that are infected."
Of course, Sharon's numbers are wrong too. CDC says there are 3.2M Americans TOTAL with hep C. About 3/4 of those are boomers.

Still can't get the title song out of my head (information age of hysteria, it's calling out to idiot America, welcome to a new kind of tension, all across the alien nation.....)
Great song. If you go to San Francisco, go see the show, if the short run isn't already sold out.

What does Paul Losch see as the similarities between the hippies and the occupy activists.
Paul put up the original post making a connection.
The occupy activists seem to have flamed out already.

George Clooney has joked he has his testicles "ironed" to get rid of any wrinkles.
The Hollywood hunk is still a hit with the ladies at 51 and is currently dating former wrestler Stacy Keibler.
During an interview he was quizzed on whether he has any help with his appearance, and gave a tongue-in-cheek response to show how silly he thinks such questions are.
"I never fixed my eyes, but I spent more money to stretch the skin of my testicles. I did not like the wrinkles," he laughed to Italy's Max magazine.
"It's a new technique, many people in Hollywood have done it. It's called ball ironing."
However, some of the star's fans began to call into question whether Clooney was joking after realising a similar operation can be booked by self-conscious men.
Despite his humorous comment, Clooney has admitted to going under the knife in the past. In 2007 he was interviewed by fellow Hollywood star Julia Roberts for an Oscars TV special and appeared to lift the lid on his secret.
"I had my eyes done. Can you tell? I think it's important to look awake," he said.

Hello TWIV Crew,
I must first apologize it has been a long time since I have listened to the podcast but I promise to get caught up. I am seeking guidance from you as fellow scientists here. On a matter of personal and professional development I was curious as to the most effective and sanity preserving ways you deal with pseudo-science and or the complete lack of acceptance of science and evidence based medicine by some people. A little background I am entering graduate school going for a PhD and when I try to have discussions with my non-science friends or acquaintances I get hear a lot of science bashing and evidence based medicine bashing. I know this has been experienced by you all in the show many times, XMRV and chronic fatigue being an obvious example. On a personal level I have experienced it myself but in a strange way, a sort of reversal of the normal paradigm. I have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Dissorder), I know its a controversial issue but I have it, and have been prescribed by my physician for some 15+ years now a medication to help me focus. It's worked for me wonderfully, I did well in High School, excelled in sports, have had great work success, got my B.S. in Biology, preformed independent research as an Undergraduate with great success and now I am going to be working on my PhD. Yet I have people out there that are telling me, I don't have a disease I don't need to be medicated (despite the fact that it works and I am successful), I just need more "fresh air" and to exercise and eat right and get more vitamin D and see posters like "Childhood is not a disease, don't medicate children" I try to have rational, science and evidence based conversations with these people but I am just a crony of western medicine or am only treating the symptoms not the cause, etc. I worry that a child who is in my situation may not get the help I got.
I just don't know how to deal with people like that who refuse to accept evidence or only accept anecdote when it works for what they believe (not that anecdote is ever a good argument). I am a man of truth, that's why I love science. It upsets me when people don't want to hear evidence or don't accept the scientific method. I tell them questioning is good but you have to also examine evidence not anecdote. I truly want to educate people and greatly enjoy it but am saddened by people who refuse to learn, and worry that people like that could run our country and in turn try to control my life based on unscientific beliefs. Rarely someone is honest enough to tell me they didn't know something and that I taught them something and changed their mind (and it felt really good, hence why I want to be in an academic setting). How have you learned to deal with people like that refuse to learn. I don't want to give up on them but is that necessary? Should I just pick my battles? I know your podcast has been extremely successful in educating people, especially outside the academic setting, do you feel like the battle for knowledge and education is being won? Sometimes I actually become saddened that people are not willing to learn, or accept evidence, but I don't want to let that ruin my career of seeking truth.
I thank you for reading this I know you are all very busy. I don't expect this to be read on air (if you do feel free to trim it as you see fit) but do sincerely hope for a response of some kind time permitting via email hopefully maybe a few words from each of you since you all may have different opinions, or strategies that have helped you all to success as scientists.
P.S. My girlfriend and I both went to see Vincents talk at the University of Washington when he was here a while back. Being a Plant Biologist myself and only part time Virology enthusiast it was a bit out of my area but love to support your cause!

This hearty steak and potato salad is inspired by salpicón, a favorite dish in Chile. The purple potatoes add vibrant color but you can substitute any young "new" potatoes that are harvested early in the season—even small fingerlings would work. Serve on a bed of spicy mesclun greens to round out the meal. This recipe can easily be doubled.

Serves 2
Prep Time 15 min
Total Time 40 min.
Step 1
Mix lime juice, chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and garlic in a small bowl to form a paste; rub onto both sides of steak. Refrigerate the steak.
Step 2
Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Drain, let cool for 10 minutes, then quarter.
Step 3
While the potatoes cool, preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Oil the grill rack (see Tip) or pan. Grill the steak, turning once, until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140°F, about 10 minutes total on the grill or 16 to 20 minutes in a grill pan. Let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Step 4
Whisk vinegar, oil, cumin, pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the steak and any accumulated juices, the potatoes, radishes, scallions and cilantro; gently toss to coat.

The University of Missouri, it turns out, is perfect for Cayce Hendrickson.
The Marshall County rising senior has verbally committed to play golf for the Tigers. She fell in love with Missouri on a visit the first week of February, choosing it over Louisville, Murray State and Middle Tennessee State.
"I didn't expect it to be that incredible there," said Hendrickson, who plans to major in business.
A verbal commitment is nonbinding and is essentially an agreement between the coach and athlete that each side won't look elsewhere. Hendrickson's scholarship offer will become official when she signs a National Letter of Intent, which she can do as early as Nov. 12.
Hendrickson won the First Region girls golf championship by one stroke last season, edging 2012 state champion and Calloway County rising senior Anna Hack. Hendrickson then finished tied for 19th at the state tournament last fall by shooting an 83-72-155.
The Tigers tied for 10th at the Southeastern Conference tournament. The SEC had seven schools ranked in the top 25, including Arkansas and South Carolina in the top five, by Golf World.
But Hendrickson has several goals she hopes to accomplish before moving on. She wants to be under par on college tees this season and to improve her drives and putts. The 5-foot-4 golfer also hopes to add a few pounds of muscle.
"People probably look at me more as an underdog because of my size," Hendrickson said.
Lady Marshals coach Vince Doom believes Hendrickson's work ethic will allow her to accomplish her goals, which includes winning a state title. He says she's added about 15 pounds since the season ended and has been working with a swing coach.
As an example of how hard she works, he points to her knack for disappearing right before tournaments. He'll be ready to start discussing course rules with his players or having them fill out sheets, but she'll be off practicing her putts or drives.
"That's just the way she gets herself ready to play," Doom said. "She cannot take a day off."

"When I moved to Boston," UpStairs on the Square bar manager Augusto Lino explains, "it was uncommon for bars to have anything house-made beyond a large container of vodka filled with pineapple on the back bar. Eastern Standard wasn't open yet, the B-Side was in a residential neighborhood, the bar at No. 9 Park was inside a fine-dining restaurant — you had to look hard."
Lucky for us lushes, times have certainly changed.
A love of the homegrown and homespun — the slightly lopsided bread, the wonky-looking salumi dry-aging in the garage, the misshapen vegetables plucked from a backyard patch — is an undisputed part of the current culinary zeitgeist, having made its way into the mainstream on the coattails of the farm-to-table movement. While the idea is by no means new, its renaissance has resulted in a surge in creativity for culinarians across the board.
The bar, formerly a bastion of consistency, is no exception. We got behind the stick of some of Boston's top watering holes to get a glimpse of the personal touches that continue to advance the game.
One glance at the shelves of a place like Somerville's Boston Shaker is proof there's no shortage of independent bitters producers on today's market, from Bittermens to Scrappy's to the Bitter Truth. It's easier than ever for bartenders and novice cocktail enthusiasts alike to get their hands on exotic flavors — sarsaparilla bitters, lavender bitters, juniper bitters, you name it. So why bother with an in-house bitters program?
"You're going to get a lot of people who don't give a shit that you make your own bitters, let alone know what bitters are," says Russell House Tavern bar manager Sam Gabrielli, who has been experimenting with his own bitters batches for about a year and a half. "I could probably have just as much of an effect as a bartender if I wasn't taking the time to make these, but if that's really what gets your goat, then why not? I like having ownership over my product. If I could put a still in my basement, I would."
Gabrielli counts himself as a casual hobbyist when it comes to his homemade ingredients. Most of the time, he's perfectly happy to use what's already on the market. "I could try to make Angostura bitters," he says, "but I'm never going to, because they're already great." When he does take the time to whip up something personalized, though, the flavor profiles are off the charts. His orange bitters are pithier and spicier than many mainstream labels. His peach-anise bitters, which he shares with the drink wizards at Union Square's backbar, are reminiscent of a heady late-summer afternoon in a peach orchard.
Across the river at Clio, bar manager Todd Maul — often hailed as the brilliantly mad scientist of the Boston cocktail scene — is eschewing a traditional bitters program in favor of something a little more elaborate. At his bar, he plunks down a tub packed with glass eyedropper bottles with a flourish. "Essences," he says with a grin. I peer at a few of the scribbled labels as he begins to unload them: port, blond Lillet, Middle Eastern black lime, Cuban cigar, yam.
"We wanted to find something that doesn't exist," he says, squeezing a tiny drop of black-lime essence onto my finger. After I taste the essence, a sip of dry Curaçao becomes something much more; the orange notes are spiky, lighting up the whole back of my tongue.
Through the use of a rotary evaporater, or a rotavap, Maul and his team separate spirits (and anything else they can think of) into their base-level compounds, concentrating one element of the flavor profile into an extract. The goal is to use the essences like "vermouth on steroids," rounding off edges or creating sharp points in a drink's profile without overwhelming a spirit's original flavor.
"It just seemed like a better way to approach how the alcohol is actually talking to us," he explains. "You go to a chef because you like his palate, right? Every bartender should have a very distinct palate. We can make a drink that speaks to the way we see it, and the way we want to present it. It's the reason why there's a Jimi Hendrix and a Muddy Waters. It's the same instrument; they just play it very differently."

Declaring our Right to Water and Speaking for the Rights of Nature
Posted by Shannon Biggs in Community Rights on 15th October, 2010 | 5 Comments
Blog Action Day: Water. It is widely understood that the ecosystems we as humans rely on to survive are diminishing, depleting, and drying up. Water— most essential to life– is being privatized and mismanaged at the cost of people's heath and livelihoods, namely by multi-national corporations that are extracting water from communities without their consent.

The appartment is very close to the center and close to the metro station. We met just Claudia and she was very friendly and helpful. She suggested us the best hotspots in town and gave us good insider information. The room is clean and quiet - if you are looking for a good place to stay then book here!
House is very close to downtown and room is large and comfortable (we stayed in the Buddha room).
Rui and Claudia are very kind and supportive and, athough they were out of town for personal commitments, they made their best to get our stay pleasant and interesting.
It was the perfect way to discover Lisbon. Thank you we discover the fado. The appartment is very nice and near the down town. Thank you again for your good tips where to eat and what to see. We will do it again 2 days are not enough!
big experience and beautiful home!! Claudia and Rui are very nice and helpful. The room was really clean and comfortable. 5 stars!!!!
More than great hosts and guides, Claudia and Rui are lovely people and will give you an extra-ordinary human experience. We treasured our stay with them and definitely recommend it. No matter what you're looking for, you will find it thanks to them and find great thins you don't expect, it will be an wonderful adventure :)
Also, ideally located, the appartment is very cosy, spaceful and clean.
We had an amazing trip! Claudia is a warmhearted, friendly, open minded host. Moreover, the accommodation was wonderful (and easy to find). Probably best place to stay in Lisbon.
We cannot say enough about Claudia and Rui. We can only second what everyone else has said. They are terrific hosts who oriented us as soon as we walked in the door. The apartment is centrally located and was very clean and comfortable. Staying at their apartment was so much better than staying at a hotel. We felt like we were visiting friends instead of just being tourists. We also got the chance to see and hear Claudia perform as a professional fado singer. She has a terrific voice and it was a great treat. We hop to be able to see them again some time.

The appartment is really nearby the center. That makes it easy to explore this wonderful city. Everything was really in order. It's nice to talk with Claudia and Rui and above all they showed me some quit peticular places i will never forget. So, I'm very glad to have stayed at their place.They are great musicians too.
Great place to stay with perfect hosts. You feel right at home here! Too bad we could only stay for one night, we will surely return if we ever go back to Lisboa.
