Put a cork in your usual getaway and toast an Escape to Canyon Lake, Texas, just an hour outside San Antonio. Overlooking the lake and 15 minutes from the Guadalupe River, the seven-acre Canyon Lakeview Resort is ideally situated near a plethora of hiking trails and vineyards.
The resort's robust lodgings have spectacular views of the lake from a furnished deck with a barbecue grill, and are stocked with must-have items like linens and utensils. Comal Cabins sleep up to six and feature three bedrooms and two baths, a full kitchen, private hot tub, and more, while Lodge Suites are designed for two guests and have a king or queen bedroom and full bath.
The next day, hike through the Canyon Dam and feed the deer, see the Old Hancock Trail on horseback, bike through Canyon Park, or stroll along the 80 miles of shoreline around the lake's crystal blue water. Then, travel 30 minutes to Dry Comal Creek Vineyards & Winery for an included wine experience. Whether you're a Bordeaux beginner or a pinot professional, you'll learn about and taste a variety of Texas wines in an atmosphere with bright and lively undertones. Afterward, check out the live music at Gruene Hall, the state's oldest dance hall, before venturing next door for dinner at the Gristmill River Restaurant & Bar. New Braunfels also plays host to a number of top-notch Tex-Mex and barbecue spots—just be sure to save room for s'mores by the outdoor fire.
To drink in Canyon Lake and the Hill Country, don't wait for this Escape to age.
"It was an extremely relaxing getaway, with deer to feed at all hours of the day and evening. The location was right on the lake with good views and trails to walk down around the water."-- TripAdvisor

The Attorney General in Lagos, Nigeria used the results of the Ikoyi prison research to start a cycle of indicator development, directing the Solicitor General to develop an indicator of the timeliness of prosecution and then inviting the heads of other agencies to make their own contributions to better management of pretrial detention.
With research support from the Harvard/CLEEN team, the Solicitor General discovered that in 2009 prosecutors took on average 144 days to file legal advice in cases of homicide and armed robbery, and proposed to reduce this period to 30 days. By October 2010 prosecutors required only 44 days to file legal advice.
Pleased with the results, the Attorney General hired a new project coordinator to continuously track progress and to work with the police, prisons, and courts to develop indicators together in ways that help expedite and align their joint operations. A case study of exit samples as a tool of indicator development will describe these results in greater detail.
The United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID) documents recommend that country programs seek opportunities to strengthen the relationship between traditional and formal justice systems, suggesting that "a process of dialogue, mutual recognition, and small scale practical experience" will promote "an inclusive process for determining the role of the customary system in the future." The Helpdesk research report advises that "civil society may be better situated" to facilitate this kind of dialogue on account of greater knowledge and understanding of "political dynamics and balances of power." At the same time, there appears to be recognition that such dialogue could enhance the regulatory capacity of state systems over traditional systems, which might squish the latter's ability to respond independently and creatively to local problems. Particularly with the prospect of codification, or just writing down the norms that guide decisions in traditional system, there is a worry that deeper support for the formal system might deprive customary justice of some of its greatest assets and value for development.
Our experience developing a prototype indicator of the relationship between village and district courts in Papua New Guinea (PNG) confirms this concern but also may suggest a way to navigate the dilemma. In PNG village courts cannot impose imprisonment or make an arrest of a truant defendant or respondent without the prior approval of a District Court, the lowest level of authority in the formal judiciary. The use of imprisonment is controversial, since village courts are seen at least by some participants and observers as part of a system of "restorative justice." Nevertheless, village courts appear to forward "imprisonment orders" to the higher courts for endorsement with some frequency, and the district court in the National Capital District (NCD) approved 291 such orders in 2009. The chart below depicts the complex patterns of negotiation in and out of both systems as these approved orders, now warrants of arrest, got resolved. It also identifies two relationships that might be suitable for indicator development.
The frailty of information systems makes it impossible to calculate the ratio of orders of imprisonment to the number of cases heard. So we do not know with any confidence whether some village courts rely on the coercive powers of the formal system more often than others, nor whether village courts are becoming more or less dependent on this authority over time. We were also unable to track the specific outcomes for all 291 warrants of arrest issued by the NCD court. But we learned that the majority of cases ended shortly after the issuance of a warrant of arrest, and only 21 of the limited number of cases that continued to a hearing before the District Court Magistrate ended in a warrant of prison commitment, the court document that sends a person to prison. Furthermore, none of these 21 orders of commitment actually resulted in a prison admission. All cases were settled.
The enterprise of tracking these outcomes in the course of an indicator development project is creating a new and shared understanding of the relationship between the two systems of justice between the village courts secretariat, part of the Ministry of Justice, the NDC executive which administers the village courts, and the Magistrates Services, which administers the District Courts. It is also exposing one deeper function of the use of orders of imprisonment: To prompt continued negotiation between the parties at the community level. In most cases, after all, the warrant of arrest was followed not by arrest and incarceration but by further negotiation and ultimately settlement. And in all cases, an order of imprisonment generated additional incentive to resolve the dispute. Whether these are good or bad outcomes is open to continued debate, but that ambiguity does not prevent the development of an indicator that might be used by multiple agencies in Port Moresby to track change in the relationship between the two systems. Indeed, by placing the debate on a firmer and shared empirical understanding of operations, the enterprise of indicator development may be contributing to a more supple and transparent system of governance in the justice sector.
* We do not know exactly how often they make such requests since district courts record only those cases in which they approve the request, and years of efforts by Australian advisors to collect information from the more than 1400 village courts have not yielded a reliable basis of information.

Energy consumption tips for summer
REXBURG, Idaho - A local utility company is reminding people the importance of keeping energy usage down during the summer months.
Last week, 20,000 Rocky Mountain Power customers in the upper valley lost power. The company says the outage wasn't triggered by heat, but the high temperatures and increased usage made it difficult to restore service.
"When it's summer it's extremely hot and we have a high demand for our product," said Glenn Pond, Community Manager for Rocky Mountain Power.
He said washing machines and dishwashers should be used outside of the peak usage hours. Those occur between 2 p.m.-8 p.m. Both rely on water heaters.
"Water heaters are probably one of the biggest users of electricity in a home or an apartment," said Pond.
He said water heaters should be set at 120 degrees. He also said thermostats in homes should be kept at 78-85 degrees during the daytime.
"Cool it off at night by opening the windows at night and letting the cool air in," said Pond. "Close the blinds during the day."
If you can resist the temptation of turning on the air conditioner, ceiling and portable fans can keep you 5 degrees cooler and preserve more energy.

Commencement Close-Up: Jocelyn Campos
By Cindy Brockwell
Special Projects Writer
(Dec. 17, 2008)--UTSA's Jocelyn Campos is graduating summa cum laude with bachelor's degrees in both biology and French. So much for being either left- or right-brained.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Born in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, Campos moved to San Antonio with her parents and two sisters in 2001 when she was 13 years old. Her English was limited, so she studied English... and French... and threw in a year of Latin for her future career in medicine.
She graduated fourth in her class at Marshall High. She was accepted for admission to Stanford, Rice, Baylor and UT Austin. But, she chose UTSA.
"I didn't care so much about the big-name schools. I cared more about an environment where I would feel comfortable and where I knew I could reach my goals," Campos explained.
Her older sister graduated from UTSA, and Campos attended Pre-Med Society meetings with her while Campos was still in high school. That's when she fell in love with the university.
Science has always interested her. During a summer research program for high school students, Campos was introduced to the UTSA microbiology lab. She studied under UTSA's Judy Teale, professor of immunology. As a UTSA student, she again studied under Teale -- this time conducting research on tularemia for her honor's thesis.
Her course work for the biology degree will be complete this month. She needs another semester to complete her degree in French.
So, in January, Campos is off to study abroad for a semester in Paris where she will study French at La Sorbonne. She hopes to live with a host family where she will be immersed in the French language and culture. She previously traveled to Italy with a UTSA Honors College summer program. And, with a high school program, she traveled to England, France and Spain.
Travel also is in her long-term plans. One of her goals is to someday participate in Doctors Without Borders. "Languages will be an asset. That's why I'm also taking Italian this semester," she noted.
Through the UT Health Science Center in San Antonio, Campos has volunteered as an interpreter during six trips to the Mexican border with the Christian Medical and Dental Association.
"I wanted to be certain that I wanted to practice medicine. The border trips confirmed my decision," she said. "I saw the doctors' compassion and concern as I interpreted their questions to patients."
She's close to completing 100 hours of volunteer service at University Hospital. Campos was an officer in UTSA's Pre-Med Honor Society last year.
With plans to specialize in internal medicine or family practice, Campos is enrolled in the Joint Admissions Medical Program (JAMP), a program created by the Texas Legislature to provide services to support and encourage highly qualified, economically disadvantaged students pursuing medical education. JAMP awards undergraduate and medical school scholarships and provides admission for students who satisfy academic and non-academic requirements for at least one participating medical school.
Regardless of which specialty area Campos chooses, she knows she will work with medical missionary trips abroad.
In addition to a 20-hour course load this semester, she has made the time to work for a better world. She is president of A Student Anti-Genocide Coalition, the UTSA student organization to raise awareness and advocate an end to genocide in Darfur, Congo and other countries.
"Our organization does not have a lot of money, but we are assisting a Darfur family that has moved to San Antonio," she said, noting that she had visited the family the previous night.
With a soft-spoken manner, her face lights up as she talks about what she likes best about UTSA. "The professors are wonderful, and the labs are first-rate," she said. "I've made many wonderful friends here in this great environment."
Campos is a humble person from humble beginnings, dedicated to making the world more humane. Judging from her success thus far, she will go very far indeed.

They both have an 'Ade' leading the line - Ade Akinbiyi in claret and blue, Emmanuel Adebayor in red and white - but the similarities between Burnley and Arsenal end there.
While Arsène Wenger's side fly high in the Premier League, the Clarets are well off the pace in the Championship and have been in wretched form of late. Burnley have a proud heritage but, of all the 'sleeping giants' in English football, few are in a deeper slumber.
Even Alistair Campbell and Bernard Ingham, Burnley's famous fans, would struggle to put a positive spin on their team's chances of beating Arsenal. But this is the FA Cup and shocks do happen, so Wenger's players cannot afford to be complacent at Turf Moor.
We spoke to Suzanne Geldard of the Lancashire Evening Telegraph for a Burnley perspective ahead of Sunday's Third-Round tie. Read on for more on the buzz around Burnley, the good omens for manager Owen Coyle and the former Gunners who have worn claret and blue in recent years.
"The town is buzzing and so are the players. They just can't wait for Sunday to arrive now. It's the best draw they could have got. The chairman even said before the draw was made that he wanted an Arsenal-type of game. He's got his wish and the town has too. Burnley have struggled since December. Injuries and suspensions have caught up with them in the last few games and their home form has been disappointing. This season they have only won twice at home so I think they see the FA Cup tie with Arsenal as a bit of a break. It's a chance to take their mind off problems in the League, it will be a nice diversion. The defeat at Blackpool on New Year's Day was their worst performance for a while and the players have said they are still smarting from that. They're hurting from the performance they gave and they feel like they owe the fans something. They want to give the fans something to cheer about."
"Wade Elliott has been on fire pretty much all season. He's a right winger and he puts fantastic crosses into the box. He is leading the assists chart in the Championship at the moment. Robbie Blake is back for his second spell at the club and he's wonderful on the ball. Andy Gray is the leading scorer with 13 goals, he's going through a little bit of a drought at the moment but I'm sure he'll be looking to try and bang at least one in on Sunday. At the back there's the captain, Stephen Caldwell, as well. He's very consistent, extremely solid and an experienced defender."
"There is a lot of Premier League experience in the squad and that will be important to them on Sunday. A lot of them have been there and done it and will be calming influences against Arsenal. Owen Coyle knows that there are plenty of Arsenal players who can hurt Burnley, but he's got some good memories of the FA Cup. He was part of the Bolton side which beat Arsenal in a Fourth-Round replay at Highbury in 1994 so he's looking to sprinkle some of that magic this weekend."
"I think Burnley will look to try and go out and express themselves. Obviously they will need to be a lot sharper than perhaps they would in run-of-the-mill Championship games, but I think they will try to play their own game where possible and see what they can create from that."
"Danny Karbassiyoon was at Burnley before he was forced to retire through injury. I've been in contact with him this week. He is trying to get over for the game and he's really excited about it. He's spoken to people he knows in both camps since the draw was made and he's looking forward to a contest between two of his former clubs. John Spicer started the season quite well but unfortunately got suspended. He's available again for this game and he's coming back at a good time. I'm sure he'll be champing at the bit to be involved on Sunday."

Chris Brown's recent neck tattoo sparked yet another media firestorm. But hundreds of pieces have already been written about Chris Brown, which only fuel him. Maybe now is the time that we finally put a mark in the Chris Brown "lose" column, but channel our own anger, frustration and feelings of helplessness into actually helping. And for the sake of human rights, we can stop buying his music.

Until a couple months ago, did the state of Alaska ever cross your radar? If it did, it was likely in the context of some woodsy news-of-the-weird story about a lumberjack mating with a spotted owl. Its chief exports were cute polar-bear screen savers and Northern Exposure.
Those, my friends, were the days of innocence. Little did we denizens of the Lower 48 realize how truly sleazy it is up in the great wild North. Thankfully, the Zeitgeist has since foisted upon us two specimens from the frosty Frontier State: one who looks like she failed a Hooters-trainee program and one who looks like he escaped from a meat locker. Please welcome Sarah Palin and Ted "Pruneface" Stevens, the toxic tundra twins, worse advertisements for Alaska than the Iditatrod.
Palin's instability has been well-documented, from the innocuous (the Tourette's-like repetition of the word "maverick"; debating skills gleaned from the How to Be Miss USA 1959 handbook) to the pathologically disturbing (a grudge-holding capacity on par with Richard Nixon).
Stevens is scarier, if only because he's been swindling people since before Palin shot her first moose. The 84-year-old hottie (suggested campaign slogan, "I make John McCain look spry!") is the longest-serving Republican in the Senate — ever. How's that for an epitaph? He is the type of guy who'd discuss turn-of-the-century hookers with Henry Hyde; the sort of crusty windbag who just kept getting elected over and over again, becoming richer and richer and more and more arrogant. He was an expense-account-loving, pork-barrel-spending, back-slapping hypocrite for whom morals and hubris, after a fashion, simply didn't apply. Unchallenged power will do that to you. That and senility.
Taking care of businessStevens has been frozen into the Alaskan landscape for eons (and I do mean frozen: the man's facial expressions change less frequently than Joan Rivers blinks) having served in the Senate for 40 years. Stevens once told an Anchorage reporter that "if a man took care of himself," he could live to be 120 years old. Apparently, "taking care of himself" meant free home renovations, sled dogs, stained-glass windows, and, um, a $2695 massage chair. All gifts from his friends in Big Oil. All unreported. Live long and prosper, Ted.
The good news is that, if Stevens does live another 30-some-odd years, he'll spend them in (hopefully) jail or (consolation prize) in disgrace, as he was convicted this past week on the seven felony counts he faced for failing to disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars in free gifts, which — in addition to the items above — also included a gas grill, leather furniture, and a fish statue. "I will fight this unjust verdict with every ounce of energy I have," he declared. If that's the case, let's hope the old-timer is talking about his own personal octogenarian energy, and not the collective metaphorical energy of Alaska's rotten-to-the-core oil industry.
Stevens's follies are cringe-worthy, even the lawful ones. According to the Anchorage Daily News, "Prosecutors showed that Stevens and his wife, Catherine, turned his professional staff into serfs who walked the dog, fed the cat, mowed the lawn, wrapped Christmas presents, returned overdue videos." Note to Ted: Madonna gets to have an entourage. Streisand gets to have an entourage. Noble politicians who claim to fight on behalf of the humble Alaskan everyman do not. (I can understand if you need someone to push your wheelchair, or perhaps spoon-feed you applesauce. But wrapping Christmas presents? Who do you think you are, Candy Spelling?)

I just watched my bees swarm. They're clustered in a lilac bush right outside the hive. I just put a super on yesterday after I watched what might have been an attempted swarm (I watched it closely but it never turned into a cluster anywhere). Now this. I'm wondering if it happened because of weather? I read that prolonged periods of bad weather can cause a swarm, and we've definitely had that. Overcast, cold, and rainy for a days. Yesterday was the first day of sun in a couple weeks, and now we're back to crappy weather.
So, anyway, I read somewhere you can put bees back in their hive if you correct the conditions that caused swarming. I don't know for sure what caused it, but I think weather is a reasonable guess -- they're otherwise doing really well in that hive, and I think they have enough ventilation.
Any ideas?
P.S. We were just packing up to go fishing when this happened. Nice timing, bees!:mad:

Awesome Unlimited, Part 4Posted in Project Vehicles on March 10, 2005 Comment (0)

Project Awesome Unlimited, Part 5
Most of us don't think about modifying our Jeep's axles until after we're up the creek without a paddle and elbow deep in axle grease. The Dana 30 front axle and Dana 44 rear that came in our '04 1/2 Wrangler Unlimited would hold up just fine in stock applications running the original tires and wheels. However, these axles became marginal when we threw on our 5 1/2-inch lift kit and 37-inch tires, and actually put the thing into four-wheel drive. As tire size, vehicle weight, and off-road abuse increases, the life expectancy of your drivetrain decreases. The axles just weren't designed for the extra stress. It's not uncommon for overloaded and abused axles to spit out their guts like an Olson twin right on the trail. Of course, there are plenty of add-on parts to increase the internal strength of the factory axles; however, these often-expensive components can only do so much for overall axle strength. That's why we stepped up to axle assemblies that are designed so we really don't need to carry spares or worry about making trail repairs.
Dynatrac put together some of its Pro-Rock 60s for the Awesome Unlimited and stuffed them with its brand-new competition 40-spline shafts and lots of other new goodies. Most axle swaps can be a nightmare; however, Dynatrac has built plenty of Jeep axles and makes sure all of the bracketry is correctly located. Our Pro-Rocks came completely assembled, so all we had to do was bolt them up. Keep your eyes peeled for the next issue where we'll wrap up the project and give you a rundown of how it all works along with any changes we have planned for the Awesome Unlimited.
To run 40-spline axleshafts, you really only have two choices for your differential. You can go with a full spool or a Detroit Locker. We went with Detroits front and rear and matched them up with 5.38 gears. They're the lowest available for the high-pinion 60. With our automatic overdrive tranny and 37-inch tires, it's the perfect setup for highway and off-road use. The people at Dynatrac told us the most common mistake customers make when ordering an axle is not going with a low enough gear ratio.
In today's Jeeps with overdrive trannies, you can easily get away with 5.13s or 5.38s spinning 35- or 37-inch tires. A 4.10:1 or 4.56:1 ratio will leave your Jeep seemingly underpowered and you shifting through the tranny searching for the right gear. Lower gears not only compensate for the larger rolling radius of the tires, they compensate for the extra weight, parasitic tire friction, and added wind resistance.
Factory TJ Wrangler housings measure in at 60 1/2 inches wide between wheel-mounting surfaces. To keep the 37s out of the suspension and sheetmetal when turning, we opted for a measurement of 63 1/2" on both front and rear axles. The extra 1 1/2 inches on each side help provide more articulation and increase stability.
Almost any lug pattern can be drilled for your axles. We went with the most common, which is the older Jeep/Ford/Dodge 5-on-5 1/2 lug pattern. Some people lean toward 8 lugs, but that's really overkill on a Jeep. Eight-lug hubs are more for 3/4- and 1-ton trucks that haul dirt or bricks. The same goes for rear full-floater axles. It's really an unnecessary extra expense and weight penalty.
Speaking of weight, we decided to throw the stock axles and the Pro-Rocks on a scale to see how much weight we gained in the swap. A stock TJ Dana 44 rear axle tips the scales at 221 pounds versus the Pro-Rock 60's 338 pounds. Up front the factory TJ Dana 30 weighs in at 238 pounds and the Pro-Rock front a portly 473 pounds. Overall, the axle swap only added 352 pounds to our Jeep. That's less than what we added by switching from 30-inch tires to 37s. Besides, the added weight complements stability by lowering your Jeep's center of gravity to help prevent rollovers. Reducing unnecessary weight is a good idea, but a well-designed, heavier axle that always performs is better than a lightweight axle that breaks down frequently.
Our Unlimited's axles were built with 40 splines in mind. In reality 40-spline shafts are probably overkill for most of us. However, it sure is nice to have it as an option, even if only in the future. You can upgrade your 35-spline Dynatrac axles to 40 splines with bolt-on parts! In the rear all that's required is a 40-spline carrier. The 40-spline semifloat shafts and bearings bolt right into the Dynatrac housing ends. Up front you'll need a carrier, inner and outer shafts, spindles, wheel hubs, and locking hubs (not yet available) or drivers. When you step into the 40-spline competition-alloy front shafts, you are required to run CTM U-joints since a stock U-joint would ultimately be the weak link in the assembly. Dynatrac has a warranty it stands behind, so it's not gonna build you a stupid axle with an obvious weakness like that.
In the rear our Dynatrac axle retains the factory sway bar. It simply bolts right to the included boxed brackets, which are welded to the housing. With the 5 1/2-inch lift and high-pinion rearend we didn't even need a slip-yoke eliminator kit on our transfer case. It's practically a straight shot with no vibrations. However, we did need to shorten both the front and rear driveshafts to complete the axle swap.
Bend-Free Tubes
Larger tires work on your axlehousing similar to the way a longer breaker bar works on a rusty bolt. More leverage can bend the axletubes. A bent or overly flexed housing can lead to problems ranging from broken axleshafts, busted carriers, stripped gears, and leaky seals to premature failure of carrier and axle bearings, not to mention alignment problems. Original Wrangler Dana 30 front axlehousings are made from smallish 2 1/2-inch, 0.250-wall tube (A). Wrangler Rubicon Dana 44 fronts have the same small tubing as the Dana 30. Because of the potential abuse large tires and wheeling can put on a front housing, Dynatrac uses 3 1/8-inch, 0.500-wall tubing in Pro-Rock front axles (C). The frontend takes the brunt of the force when your Jeep hits an obstacle. The Pro-Rock tubing is nearly three times stronger than stock! The optional Dana 44 and Rubicon 44 rear housings have the same tubing as the notorious-for-bending Dana 35. They are made from 2 5/8-inch, 0.250-wall (B). Pro-Rock rearends get 3 1/8-inch, 0.313-wall tubing (D), which is almost twice as strong as the original Wrangler tubes.

A confluence of economic, environmental, and national-security concerns has led to renewed interest in natural-gas heating. Natural gas is an obvious choice for heating; it is readily available, is cost-effective, and has the lowest carbon content of any fossil fuel. But while the use of natural-gas heating has increased, technology largely has failed to keep pace. The traditional approach of heating fluid with a flame remains largely unchanged and results in appliances with 85- to ...

Ha Long Bay officially named new world wonder
The New 7 Wonders named the finalists on November 11, 2011, including the Amazon in South America, Viet Nam's Ha Long Bay, Iguazu Falls of Argentina, Jeju Island of the Republic of Korea, Komodo National Park of Indonesia, Puerto Princesa Underground River of the Philippines, and Table Mountain of South Africa.
The campaign for the title provided a good chance to introduce Ha Long Bay as a unique destination of Viet Nam to the world and build up and advertise the brand name of the Vietnamese tourism sector.
It also connected people all over the world in a bid to preserve and promote values of heritages of humankind.
In 2011, Ha Long Bay welcomed 6.6 million of travelers, including 2.5 million foreigners, revealed Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Ninh Province.
In the first quarter of 2012, Hạ Long Bay received 2.4 million of visitors, a year-on-year increase of 20%, with 428,000 foreigners, up 16%.
Ha Long Bay in northern Quang Ninh Province has been recognized twice as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, for its breathtaking landscape and geographical value.
The 1,553-sq.km bay is dotted with 1,969 islands, which collectively offer an exquisite example of karst formation in tropical and humid conditions. One distinctive feature of Ha Long Bay represents in its abundant cave system formed about 11,000 to two million years ago.
The long evolution and erosion of the bay has produced pyramid-shaped karst towers that gave the bay a unique beauty.
The bay accommodates temperate ecosystems suitable for many species of marine animals, in addition to its great cultural and historical value.
Scientists have shown that Ha Long was inhabited by three successive cultures between 3,000 and 18,000 years ago.

New Zealand solo speedway champion Jason Bunyan gets another chance to pit his skills against the world's best riders at the opening round of the 2013 FIM Speedway Grand Prix world series.
The world speedway circus made its first appearance last year at Western Springs, and again will take to the track for the 2013 Buckley Systems New Zealand FIM Speedway Grand Prix, on Saturday, March 23.
The eight-time New Zealand titleholder spends his time back home during the European off-season and picked up his latest championship last month at the Rosebank track putting him one short of Larry Ross' record haul of nine championships between 1976 and 1990.
The 33-year-old (in the #16 race jacket) is the wild card entrant for the opening round of the championship.
Bunyan is joined in the meeting by New Zealand championship runner-up Dale Finch (#17 jacket) and third-placed Sean Mason (#18 jacket). They will serve as track reserves if any of the main field are forced to miss a race through injury, illness or any other reasons.
"Racing at the Grand Prix last year was a good platform for going back and racing in England," says Bunyan. "I got my act together towards the end of the year and started scoring some good points [for his club, Rye House].
"I've had better preparation this year as we have some data from last year's GP to go on and winning the national title again has helped getting another wild card.
"Even though there's a big difference between league racing and world series, if you're confident enough you can always do better than you think. "In 2012, I won a point, but because we are better prepared this time around I think I could get four or maybe even five points. Who knows, I might even win a race. This year we're not on the back foot and can approach the meeting like we're running rather than walking."
Last year, Bunyan was unable to practise with the GP riders and it took him the first few races to suss out what the others were all about.
"Once we got on the pace we were able to make relevant changes to the bike and managed to get a point at the end," says Bunyan.
New Zealand has one of the best world solo speedway championship records. Since solo speedway became an International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) world championship in 1936, three New Zealand riders have won 12 world titles - Ivan Mauger, Ronnie Moore and Barry Briggs.
Nine Kiwis have made it to the world finals.
The last time world championship solo speedway visited the Southern Hemisphere before 2012 was in 2002 in Australia. The driving force of New Zealand's ability to host a world champs round is Bill Buckley, of internationally renowned Buckley Systems. Without his passion for the dirt and his involvement with Western Springs, fans here and in Australia would not see some of the most exciting two-wheel action live.
"We're looking forward to putting on another good show," says Buckley. "Last year, a lot of people got caught short and didn't realise what a great event they'd missed. Many mentioned after the meeting that they had wished they could have gone, especially after seeing the television coverage.
"There's still room to get a few more thousand to come and watch, especially on the hill. The whole event will be much better this year and even the commentators will be better briefed to explain what's happening to the crowd, who may not fully understand the ins and outs of the how it all works."
The top eight riders automatically get a berth for the world championship in any given year. Of the next seven, the series organisers pick three riders, and then there are various qualification events in England for the remaining four places.
The top eight are pretty consistent, but the qualifying procedure for the bottom places allows emerging talent to have a go at making it among the travelling 15 riders who contest the 12 Grand Prix races.
The 16th place is normally reserved for a local wildcard, if he's good enough.
Bikes and riders fire up at 4pm. Ticket prices start at $60 for adults and $30 for children.

Pipeline 2012: Pharma's Front-Runners
Pipeline 2012: Pharma's Front-Runners
Bydureon (exenatide long-acting release) Amylin
Indication: Type 2 diabetes (Prereg.)
What the clinical trials found: In the DURATION-6 trial, Bydureon patients saw a reduction in A1C of 1.3 percentage points vs. 1.5 points for Novo Nordisk's Victoza. A tQT study showed Bydureon, even at high levels, did not prolong heart rhythms.
inThought Approvability Index and Comment: 88%. Following EU approval in June, US approval looks likely now that Amylin has answered FDA concerns. The question is, can Amylin, which is taking over the exenatide franchise from Eli Lilly, make the most of the opportunity? Novo's Victoza may be hard to beat. Estimated approval: January 2013 (Source: Wolters Kluwer inThought).
inThought Revenue forecast: $1.8 billion in peak sales by 2018
What the analysts are saying: This once-a-week version of twice-daily Byetta has had a long regulatory review but may significantly expand the GLP-1 market. PCPs and endocrinologists seem to view this class as a way to impact weight and, presumably, other co-morbidities like blood pressure and cholesterol. Still, these products can get hemmed in commercially unless they can broaden beyond a mostly niche patient base, affluent people unable to control their weight. Issues will be the same as they are with any new drug in the metabolic space—cost and ensuring endos and PCPs are familiar with how to best use the product. —Dave Jacobson, PhD, SVP, Roper global diabetes group, GfK HealthCare
GALNS (BMN-110) BioMarin
Indication: MPS IVa, or Morquio A syndrome (Phase III)
What the clinical trials found: Phase I/II 36-week data were encouraging, and additional 24-week extension data showed a durable response. A Phase III trial began in February 2011, with data scheduled to report in late 2012.
inThought Approvability Index and Comment: 75%. This product, which has orphan drug exclusivity in the US and EU, looks like it serves an unmet need. BioMarin has done this three times before, and this could be their fourth orphan drug. Expected approval: September 2013 (Source: Wolters Kluwer inThought).
inThought Revenue forecast: $272 million in peak sales by 2018
What the analysts are saying: The data for this drug look promising. Patients with MPS IVa who have been on GALNS for about two years are stable. But additional data, due out next year, are needed to help clarify the drug's prospects. Until then, it appears that GALNS is a niche product, but one with a lot of promise. It definitely meets a need; other than bone marrow transplant, there's nothing out there yet for MPS IVa. Patients—some 350,000 with the inherited genetic disorder—are looking for a silver bullet. —Marite Talbergs, SVP, research & consulting, GfK HealthCare

text: With both the parents working these days, parenting has become a really tough job. Parents have less time to spend with their children and this has increased the pressure on them to do more for them to compensate for the time. Studies have shown that there has been a considerable increase in the parenting pressures and most of the parents try and hide these pressures by over expressing their joy for the child.


text: Hey all, I don't know why I haven't posted about this sooner, but I guess I've just been too into researching my mods. So a couple of months before I left in February, I noticed my truck was starting to get low on oil rather quickly. I didn't find a leak anywhere, but my pressure kept getting really low and I'd have to add it in. Shortly after I left to come over here, in Feb, the check engine light came on and my wife took the truck in to the dealership. They said it looked like the oil hadn't been changed in forever, but when checking their records saw that I'd had them change the oil in January, so the immediately ruled out negligence. (This is the sole reason I get maintenance at the dealership while it's still under warranty rather than doing it myself.) So they said they had to do oil consumption tests and told her to bring it back every 1000 miles. Well, she took it back in late march but they couldn't find the paperwork so they said they had to start it over. They did check the level though and it was down 2.5 quarts from where it was in Feb so they added some oil and told her to come back in 1000 miles again. The fact the paperwork was not found is frustrating but is also the first time I've had an issue with that service department, so I won't be too harsh on that. Anyway, they're going through all the tests so that if something needs to be replaced they can ensure it's covered by the warranty, so that's good at least. However, I've gotten no information regarding what might actually be going on. Nor have I gotten any information on what damage might be going on with this and which parts might need to be replaced. Needless to say I'm a bit concerned. My father-in-law, who's always skeptical of anyone, said they're just hoping to extend the life until the warranty runs out so they don't have to replace the engine. I'm not so concerned with that since there's about 2+ years and 50,000 miles left on the warranty. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? I'm at a loss and just hoping whatever it is isn't going to have long term negative effects and gets fixed appropriately. As always, thanks for your input.

Making real, authentic papel picado takes patience and dexterity. If you want to make a quick, fun mini-version with the niños, here's a fun craft to do.
Mini Faux Papel Picado
What you need:
• colored construction paper
• scissors
• clear tape
• floss, string or yarn
• an imagination
Cut out small rectangles of colored construction paper, equal in size.
Fold the paper in quarters. (You can fold it more or less – whatever you like.)
Cut little snips and shapes out of the paper at different angles. (Remember making paper snowflakes as a child? Same technique.) … Also, it looks best if you scallop the edges in some way.
Repeat this process with rectangles of different colors. When finished, line them up on the table and tape them to a piece of floss, string or yarn before hanging up.

Tom Cox and Shelley Goldstein make their way down the red carpet Sunday night during a Oscar viewing party at friend Martha McHale's house in Lake Charles. (Rick Hickman / American Press)
Last Modified: Monday, February 25, 2013 10:34 AM
By Lance Traweek / American Press
Complete with a red carpet and three TVs, Martha McHale's Academy Awards viewing party brought the glitz and glamour of Hollywood to Southwest Louisiana.
McHale invited 25 of her friends and family to her Weaver Park home Sunday night to root for their Oscar favorites.
"I love movies," McHale said. "I always wanted to have an Oscar party and this year we decided to do it."
McHale wore a sequin dress with a boa around her neck. She said she first wore it to a Mardi Gras ball and thought it would be appropriate for the occasion.
"I thought it looked Oscar-ish," she said.
Hors d'oeuvres ranged from cheesecake to pizza rolls. Guests were asked to fill out a ballot and vote for the winners. Whoever got the most right won a prize.
"I love to cheer for my favorites and hope they win," McHale said. "This has been a lot of fun."
Martha's son Michael McHale, an attorney in Lake Charles, attended the party in a tuxedo with his family.
"My mother has always liked the movies, so I thought it would be a nice way to get people together," he said. "This is Southwest Louisiana, so we're always looking for an excuse to have a party."
Shelley Goldstein of Beaumont, Texas, attended the party with her children and husband Tom Cox, who donned a tuxedo.
"We wanted to shine like a star," Goldstein said in her evening gown. "I couldn't miss the red carpet."
She said the most exciting thing is to see is who gets the best picture and best actor and actress awards.
"It's so much fun to plan ahead of time and see all the movies," Goldstein said. "I think' Lincoln' is amazing, but I love 'Les Miserables'."
Her daughter, Juliet Goldstein, said there is something so amazing about watching a "thought-provoking and poignant" movie.
"Movies bring people together," she said. "I'm an actress, so of course I'm rooting for 'Les Miserables'."
Sue Vaughn of Lake Charles went to the party with her children and grandchildren.
"Martha is one of my dearest friends, and I wouldn't miss this. It means the world to be here," Vaughn said. "Everybody goes to the movies. Everyone loves a beautiful story — that's what the movies are all about: life."

text: Hello from Iowa! I am new to this site. I find myself browsing this site during my lunch time so I thought I better join. I learned about the site last year at the Iowa Honey Producers annual meeting. I have been keeping bees for about 25 years now. I got my first hive when I was in the 5th grade. I have had as many as 150 hives back in the mid 90's but currently have 30. In the past I have worked as a field inspector for the state of Iowa and helped manage hives and nuc's for a USDA facility doing controlled pollination. Besides selling honey I also do apple and pumpkin pollination. The main reason I am joining this site is to see how other people do things and to get some new ideas. I learned while inspecting bees for the state that there are no 2 beekeepers who manage their bees the same way.

I live in Washington DC area and deal with all the insults about Eli looking like the "missing link" or "bean stork with sickle cell" or "idiot savant" etc.....etc...... So I make fun of RG III and call him Roach With Braids or Reptile Dysfunction but under no circumstances am I happy that this wonderful young man may have some serious damage to his knee. I am not stating that I think it was unexpected because it was expected if he started against Seattle. He showed a great deal of courage yesterday and I wish him the best in his recovery.
or the even more important part that this a giants forum ffs and we should be talking about the giants and the giants players.. not other players on other teams no..?! there's a reason there's a smack talk forum and a "general sports" forum..
lol.. im not chapping my lips for no one but whatever dude, you can't say i'm wrong.. im just trying to read giants news and all i see are rg3 threads.. there are rules for a reason no?

Just wanted to say Strachan gets nothing but top ratings from me! As a new beek I had a couple of emergencies over the last few weeks and they were more than helpful getting me the queens I needed.
On both occasions they were last minute and even though I called during their peak time and hadn't reserved a queen prior to this they were able to find an extra for me. They even offered to have them shipped that day but I chose to drive the 180 miles round trip both times just to make sure the girls were less stressed and also wanted to see the place. On the second visit I had forgotten to mention I'd like a marked queen and the only one available was unmarked but the guy that does the marking was in the office when I was there so he took her in the back, marked her and i was back on the road minutes later.
They definitely get two thumbs up from me not to mention both queens are doing great.

Tuck had a shoulder injury last year. Hey, I've had a shoulder injury before and I'm fine...SO TUCK SHOULD BE FINE TOO BECAUSE I'M FINE, AND OUR MUSCLES ARE THE SAME!
Mood: WOOF!
TC has a sense of urgency. JR has a sense of urgency. The Marra's have a sense of urgency. They want the team to have the same sense of urgency. TC wants this team to play in the Super Bowl THIS year, in OUR house. We open the season against our division rival in a few weeks...a rival who feels like they should have won that final game. I don't know about you, but I don't want to see this team start this year with a loss to Dallas and start the season a game back in the division...a sense of urgency! TC knows Super Bowls!! This team laid an egg last year and they need to step it up. That starts right now, not in September.
In fact, if I were TC I'd be worrying that if there is no sense of urgency we could be 0-2 going into the Carolina game. I'm not trying to be negative but starting the season with Dallas and Denver is no easy start to a season.

UTSA participates in Recyclemania 2009 contest
By Nancy Woodward
Administrative Associate, Office of Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management
(Jan. 20, 2009)--UTSA has begun the countdown for Recyclemania -- the nationwide college and university recycling competition. As in years past, UTSA will be up against some of the largest schools in the nation as well as many Texas universities. The 2009 competition runs Jan. 18-March 28, and the help of the entire UTSA community is needed during the third year of our participation.

Sponsored at UTSA by the Office of Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management, Recyclemania needs the participation of all departments to advertise and more importantly -- to recycle. Located throughout the Tri-campuses in common areas, offices and residence facilities, UTSA recycling bins are checked daily for aluminum, plastic, glass, paper and cardboard.
Here is what you can do:
- Recycle all paper (catalogs, newspapers, frozen meal boxes)
- Collect recyclable aluminum, plastic and glass items -- deposit in nearest receptacle
- Break down cardboard boxes (such as pizza boxes) -- place beside large paper bins and housekeeping will pick them up and take them to the compactor
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, more than 100 tons of recyclable materials were processed. During Recyclemania 2009, UTSA can demonstrate its university pride and that we are concerned about the environment and our world.

Just last year Ghassan Hitto was an IT executive in Dallas whose focus was on data centres and how to deliver a project on time. But yesterday he was speaking in Istanbul of his plan to use "all conceivable means" to topple President Bashar al-Assad and provide desperately needed aid to the beleaguered people of Syria.
The bespectacled 50-year-old, who was elected the new head of the opposition transitional government on Tuesday, now has the daunting task of building legitimacy for his fledgling administration, despite lacking the support of many high-profile members of his own coalition.
He admitted the difficulties facing the Syrian National Coalition as it attempts to form a government in rebel-held areas were "huge". He was voted in by 35 of the 49 coalition members who cast ballots, but 15 other members were not present - with several walking out in protest at Hitto's perceived links to the Muslim Brotherhood and its backers in Qatar.
Hitto, who was born in Damascus but left Syria in the early 1980s, will need to garner support both from the international community and on the ground if the transitional body is to have any chance of success.
After more than 20 years outside Syria, where he has next to no public profile, that presents a significant challenge.
"I have backed the idea of an alternative government for a long time," said veteran opposition figure Haitham al-Maleh. "But I put my ballot in without a name because there were no candidates from inside Syria. I want a Prime Minister from inside Syria."
Hitto yesterday ruled out talks with the regime until Assad stepped down, which will disappoint Western nations pushing for a more pragmatic stance.
Hitto, who has Kurdish roots, left his job in Dallas late last year and moved to Turkey where he has been co-ordinating relief efforts as director of the coalition's Assistance Co-ordination Unit. His eldest son, Obaida, a former football player, has also been actively involved in the revolution, sneaking into the country last year to assist the rebel forces. Alongside the legitimacy issues caused by the expatriate nature of the opposition, the coalition has also been beset by divisions between Islamists and liberal members, and Hitto's election was no different.
And despite Hitto being touted as a "consensus candidate" who could unite both sides, former Syrian National Council head Burhan Ghalioun and prominent dissidents Walid al-Bunni and Kamal al-Labwani were among those who abstained from the vote.
Labwani said outnumbered liberals could do little to get their voices heard and said he planned to resign from the coalition. "The Government is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood and the Qatar Government. We will be against this Government and will not give it legality.
"Democracy is from the land and from the people, not from a council that is composed by the Government of Qatar."
Known for being religiously pious, Hitto had been an active member of the Muslim community in the United States. He headed the board of its largest Islamic school and was also a board member of the local chapter of the Muslim American Society, say friends. The society was set up by the Muslim Brotherhood but now downplays its links to the organisation.
Dallas-based security adviser Mohamed Elibiary, who has known Hitto for the past 10 years, described him as more of an intellectual Islamic activist than a rank and file Islamist type. "He is broadly respected amongst various segments of the Muslim community."

text: I've been feeding 1:1 by volume Msyrup for the last month in an attempt to aide in the drawing out of the last several frames of foundation. Mission accomplished, they have been consuming about 7 quarts of the syrup per week and have drawn out the frames. Now, it is my understanding that 1:1 is better for drawing comb, but requires more energy to store since it needs to be dehydrated. It seems like now would be the ideal time to switch to 2:1 so they can store some if necessary. The hive is one deep, one medium... started from a 10 frame med. nuc in July. Is now a good time to go to 2:1 or should I stay 1:1? Also, should I be using an entrance reducer... currently I am not.

Central Oregonians hit stores day after Christmas
Returns, gift cars propel No. 2 shopping day of year
BEND, Ore. - We've all done it: Open a holiday gift, hold up a sweater with a delightful fake smile, and secretly dig around for that gift receipt.
A survey by the National Retail Federation found Americans will return $62.7 billion in merchandise after the holidays
And more than one-third of Americans will return at least one gift.
"I'm going to upgrade the gift -- I'm going to get something else," said one Bend man, returning a GoPro to Target on Wednesday.
"The stuff that we got turned out to be the wrong sizes," said a girl returning some Carhartt clothing at Fred Meyer.
While the return lines at local stores varied from nearly out the door to completely empty, Bend Target Team Leader Teresa Daily said the day after Christmas is less about receipts and all about the plastic -- gift cards.
"About 40 percent of all gift card sales happen in November and December," Daily said. "And today is the biggest day for redeeming those. So we see a lot more of the sales coming in, and the returns kind of start later in the day and then go through the weekend."
Daily said Target's gift card sales are significantly up this year, compared to last -- and shoppers say when it comes to gift cards, the more the merrier.
A woman shopping at Fred Meyer said she has been getting more gift cards the last few holidays.
" More and more that I'm older now," she said. "It's harder, I guess, to get things for adults. I'm going to get something that No. 1, it fits, and something that I like."
Some came out to get a jump start on the holidays for next year -- with clearance holiday-item prices they said can't be beat.
"This is a day when all those really organized people come in and they get all their wrapping paper for next year -- their bows, ornaments, fun things like that," Daily said.

Excerpt: "After leading the team to their second Super Bowl in five seasons, the New York Giants defensive line crashed back down to earth in 2012. Not only did Big Blue's trio of Pro Bowl caliber defensive ends fail to wreak havoc on opposing offenses, but the middle of the defense was about as soft as they come. Although defensive tackle Chris Canty showed considerable improvement in 2011, his injury plagued 2012 campaign has many wondering if he will be on the roster next season.
For the right price, Canty is worth keeping around. He is 6'7" and 317 pounds. His size alone makes teams account for his presence in the middle of the defense. However, Canty's salary cap hit for 2013 is $8.2 million. If the Giants decide to cut him, they can recoup $6.5 million of salary cap room. Given Canty's history of back injuries and lack of production in 2012, his salary is currently above his market value. At the very least, Jerry Reese should look into restructuring Canty's contract to portray his overall value to the team.
However, it's not like the Giants have any bona fide replacements waiting in the wings either." Read more...
