Regardless of the sport, Michael Jordan seems to always be in high demand.
As a superstar in the athletic world, the former Bulls champion is most famous for thrilling fans while also winning on the basketball courts as captain of the Chicago team. Post retirement (the first one), fans saw him try his hand at baseball in 1994 with the Chicago White Sox and many others.
For those who follow the Hall of Famer, many know he's also a big golf spectator. His enthusiasm for the sport is so big, pro-golfer Fred Couples brought the six-time championship winner with him to PGA's Presidents Cup tournaments last year in San Francisco.
This year, Jordan was signed up as assistant coach for the four-day competition starting November 7 in Melbourne, Australia. Yet, due to the seemingly never-ending NBA lockout situation, the PGA says he will not able to attend this year.
According to the website, Jordan says, "With the NBA labor situation unsettled, as the majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, I feel it is necessary that I remain in the country."
The PGA acknowledges that the players will miss him, especially because he's been a regular at the games over the years and apparently is a big hit as a coach.

Homage to John Lennon heads to the Wide Bay
18 July 2014 , 12:40 PM by David Dowsett
A homage to the music, mystery and memory of John Lennon is coming to the Wide Bay next month.
The production Looking Through The Glass Onion is part concert and part biography as John Waters captures the life and times of one of the most fascinating icons of our time.
I caught up with John earlier and asked him if he was surprised that the tour, which first got underway in 1992, is still going strong?...

|A Multicenter Observational Study of Candidemia Among ICU Patients in India
|Brief Summary
Title: A multicenter observational study of candidemia cases among ICU patients in India
Objective: Primary objective:
Determine epidemiological and also clinical parameters of candidemia cases among ICU patients in India.
Exploratory Objectives:
Study description and purpose:
Short description: Observational multicentre study in ICU patients. Study purpose: Epidemiological determinants of candidemia, management and outcome evaluation.
How the study would help? It would help to evaluate outcomes of current management strategies and to develop future better management strategies of candidemia cases.
Critical issues & risk: Site & center selection would be important No risk for patients included in the study as it is only observational study
Study design:
Site selection: A questionnaire will be circulated (annexure I) to all major tertiary care centers of India. The centers will be selected on the competence of candidemia diagnosis and availability ICU facilities. Expected number of centers ~ 20.
Study period: October 1, 2010 - March 31, 2012 No of patients/sites: Consecutive all patients with candidemia detected during ICU stay over the study period will be included in the study in each site.
Patient selection: Inclusion criteria:
Exclusion criteria:
1. Patient already diagnosed of candidemia before admission in ICU Variables|: types of ICU, demographic data of patients, underlying illness, risk factors, severity scores, diagnostic methods, treatment characteristics (Annexure II) and treatment outcomes (Annexure III)
Diagnosis of candidemia: Isolation of Candida species from blood culture (arterial/venous) by any method (conventional/ lysis-centrifugation/ automated system/ any other method). No intervention in diagnostic processes at any center. Centers not performing diagnosis of candidemia will be excluded from the study
Data recording: both manual and online. The form of Annexure II will be filled up within 5 days of diagnosis of candidemia; Annexure III will be filled up within 7 days of discharge from hospital or 30 days after starting the antifungal therapy or death of the patient (which over period is early).
Data analysis: appropriate statistical method will be employed for analysis of data.
|Detailed Description
6.2 Patient enrollment - The investigator should ensure that only the patients with candidemia development in the ICU (see inclusion criteria) are included. Consecutively all patients meeting the eligibility criteria will be consecutively enrolled. The patients will be enrolled prospectively as soon as the diagnosis is confirmed. The patients will be followed up till discharge from hospital or 30 days after start of antifungal therapy or death (whichever is earlier).
6.3 Data collection - The form (Annexure II) will be filled up within 5 days of diagnosis of candidemia. The investigator would make sure that the patient is not identified (No mention of patient's name, address, hospital registration no. or any laboratory no. on the survey forms). The data collection will be performed both on line and on hard copy. The following variable will be noted:
7. Security and Confidentiality Once the patient is deemed eligible to participate and consent has been obtained (if any), a unique study number will be assigned. Subject initials and institution identification will be entered into a log book that will remain sole property of each site. The logbook will be kept secured at each site according to site's policies and procedures. The logbook will assist the investigator at the particular Institute to track and upload data in the system. Each site will be able to view its own patients entered and summary data on the aggregate patients of all centers, but no data from other sites.
8. Publication : In the event of publication, the Investigators' names that will be cited will be those who have attributed the largest number of cases of the study. The coordinator and the advisor will also be cited. The order of the authorship would depend upon the number of cases per investigator per center, in the decreasing order. The exact number of authors remains to be decided upon, but the maximum number may be restricted to 11. The 'SIHAM' candidemia network will be mentioned at the end of authors. All other investigators will be acknowledged as participants of the network in the appendix. The sponsor of the network will be acknowledged in each publication. None of the sites is permitted to make any publication on its sites data, based solely on the parameters included in this study for the cases included in the present study, during this study period. If there is any breach of this understanding, the data from that centre will not be included in the final data analysis.
9. Ethical Issue: The project should be cleared by the participating centers at their respective local Ethics Committee before commencing the project. The Ethics approval Certificate should be submitted to the coordinator before commencing the project.

RPGWatch Feature: Hands-On With The Witcher 2
View Single Post
May 11th, 2011, 15:31
I already pre-ordered the game (on GOG ofc) because quite honestly i feel the game can't possibly disapoint to the point that i feel bad for the € 50 i spend.
In the worst case scenario, the game is linear and doesnt have as much of "choice and consequences" or those that are present are merely cosmetic, but even if that does pose true, i'm sure the rest of the game will be more than enjoyable to warrant the € 50 fee.
Besides, its a PC exclusive done by a non-gigantic developer and the game looks realy realy good, we should give it a chance.
About the preview, i havent read a single preview so far that let me think "hum, perhaps i should think twice…". All are very positive to the game. Some more "hardcore" RPG sites say one or two things they dont like at 100%, but generaly very very favorable.

Willow Smith Debuts Mellow Yellow Hairdo!
Posted Sunday March 25, 2012 2:45 PM GMT
She's certainly not afraid to try something new, as Willow Smith walked through The Grove in Los Angeles showing off her new bright yellow hairdo on Saturday (March 24).
Taking her female friend by the hand, the "Fireball" singer wore a black hat over her unique hair color while she window shopped and smiled for cameras in skinny jeans and an over-sized red sweater.
The newly dyed coif comes as Willow has been experimenting with her hair, as just last week she donned bright green locks in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
We wonder what color the 11-year-old will show off next week!
Enjoy the photos of Willow Smith walking through The Grove in Los Angeles with bright yellow hair on Saturday (March 24).

Rebels with a Lost Cause
A movement of property-rights lawyers emerged from the sagebrush in the 1970s to fight a wave of environmental regulations. They are still fighting in courtrooms across the West, but their role remains ambiguous.
Bill Jennings, a veteran fisheries activist in Stockton, Calif., remembers the Christmas season of 2004 as "a nightmare." He adds: "It was absurd."
He's talking about how some of the West's most powerful farmers tried to throw off the yoke of environmental law. Like countless similar battles, this one came down in a courtroom, in a case titled Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District, et al., v. The United States.
For decades, the farmers had diverted rivers and dried up a huge lake to grow hundreds of thousands of acres of crops south of Stockton, resulting in catastrophic losses of fish and birds. Finally, during a 1990s drought, wildlife agencies invoked the Endangered Species Act and withheld some irrigation water, trying to save vanishing populations of chinook salmon and Delta smelt. That triggered the farmers' lawsuit.
The farmers demanded payment for surrendering the water. They claimed that the government's environmental action violated the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment, which holds that no property shall be taken without compensation. They found a sympathetic listener in Judge John Paul Wiese, at the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C. In a surprising series of rulings, Judge Wiese ordered the government to pay the farmers as much as $26 million. Many believed that if the feds filed an appeal, a higher court would overturn the rulings. But five days before Christmas, the George W. Bush administration settled the case and agreed to pay $16.7 million.
The Tulare outcome hit like a thunderbolt. The farmers' lawyer, Roger Marzulla of the D.C.-based lawfirm Marzulla & Marzulla, told Greenwire, "This is the first time (the government has) been required to pay for anything" related to enforcing the Endangered Species Act. The West's leading anti-green congressman at the time, Calif. Rep. Richard Pombo, R, could barely control his glee. "This case should spell profound change for conservation policy," he told the Washington Post. A California water official, in the Los Angeles Times, called it "a devastating setback for the environment."
If the logic of the Tulare rulings spread, enforcement of many environmental laws might cost the government billions. And if the government preferred not to pay, the laws would be castrated.
More striking, Marzulla & Marzulla stood among a battalion of lawfirms dedicated to challenging environmental laws. The movement had its roots in the West and appeared to be making progress on many fronts, firing a barrage of lawsuits and claiming a run of important victories in the late 1990s and early 2000s. They'd rolled back regulations covering not only endangered species, but also cattle grazing, commercial development and many other activities. They even seemed to be on the brink of redefining government employees as criminal "racketeers."
"I think this fight is going to get a lot meaner ..." predicted Andrew Lloyd, a lawyer for Pacific Legal Foundation, another firm leading the charge, in California's West County Times in January 2005. He and others envisioned more lawsuits and more big victories.
These days, the anti-regulation lawyers still portray themselves as wizards, shooting bolts of legal lightning at the government agencies and power-hungry environmentalists who oppress them and their clients. In press releases, news and opinion articles and speeches, they boast about carrying out a crucial role.
To get a better sense of their role, I explored the legal battlefields and visited some of the movement's key Western lawfirms. I found a group of people who believe strongly in freedom and individual rights.
But their record includes some recent big defeats, and their conviction arguably outweighs their influence. I found that they may indeed be legal wizards, but more in the mode of a Wizard of Oz: They're full of sound and fury out front, but if you pull back the curtain, they're not so formidable.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION became a formidable force in the decade and a half that began in 1964. During that time, Congress and state legislatures passed a torrent of new laws protecting wilderness and endangered species, requiring the study of environmental impacts, setting tough standards for clean water and air, and applying limits to grazing, mining, logging and driving on public lands.
The regulations poked at some peoples' livelihoods and chafed against their beliefs, especially in the West, the region with the most public land. So they began to hire lawyers to fight back. The ragtag resistance grew into a movement with the 1973 founding of Pacific Legal Foundation, headquartered in Sacramento, Calif. It's a nonprofit lawfirm, following the model of older, liberal nonprofit firms, such as those associated with the American Civil Liberties Union and environmental groups.
Oil and tobacco corporations, chamber of commerce groups, and rightwing billionaires such as Joseph Coors (a Colorado beer baron), Richard Mellon Scaife (a Pittsburgh heir to the Mellon banking, oil and aluminum empire), and John Simon Fluor (a California mining, nuclear and oil baron) poured millions of dollars into launching Pacific Legal Foundation and similar nonprofit lawfirms across the country.
The most famous is Mountain States Legal Foundation, founded in Denver in 1976. Mountain States has helped launch two lawyers -- James Watt in the early 1980s and Gale Norton in the early 2000s -- to tenures as secretaries of the Interior. Each used the cabinet post to push general deregulation and the commercial uses of federal lands.
The movement has grown to include the D.C.-area Institute for Justice, which describes itself as "a merry band of litigators," run by William "Chip" Mellor, formerly of Mountain States Legal. Dozens of lawyers in private practice also jumped into the fray. Roger Marzulla is among the most prominent, as is Karen Budd-Falen, a specialist in ranchers' cases based in Cheyenne, Wyo. Both of them also had stints with Mountain States Legal. These lawyers share similar or identical goals, they're related to each other through overlapping resumes and backers, and they file briefs supporting each other's cases. Many of them got to know each other while working for Ronald Reagan, when Reagan was California's governor in the 1970s, or when he was president during the 1980s. They're also tied in with the libertarian, property-rights think tanks, such as the Cato Institute.
Those in the movement and those who study it call it by various names, including the Freedom-Based Public Interest Law Movement, or just the property-rights lawyers. For Westerners, the most accurate term would be Sagebrush Rebel lawyers: They're entwined with the angry rebellion that began in 1979, when many Western legislatures claimed authority over federal land, and continues today in local flare-ups against the feds.
The lawyers, and their clients, have some legitimate complaints. Environmental laws, especially in their infancy in the 1970s and 1980s, did tend toward bullying and unrealistic expectations. For instance, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and other laws vowed to catalog and choke off hundreds of thousands of pollution sources within a few years. Anyone who didn't cooperate was subject to penalties.
"The game of politics is largely a struggle for control of the initiative," says Gregg Cawley, head of the political science department at the University of Wyoming, in a book he wrote about the Sagebrush Rebellion. Environmentalists had the initiative at the start as they set up their enforcement strategy. Then the anti-regulation forces rose up and took the lead.

We are no longer updating this MLB Predictions website, but you can find all of our MLB picks over at The Sports Geek with the games covered by Chris and Kyle during the baseball season!
The 2015 MLB season is here, and we look for another profitable season here at MLBPredictions.org.
I've got exciting news as I've added an MLB expert, Brent, to the team here at MLB Predictions. Brent is a big baseball fan and has been a long time sports bettor. He plans to combine his passion for the sport with his sports betting experience to provide us another profitable season betting on baseball in 2015.
If you're interested in how our MLB picks work check out the bottom of this page.
AL and NL Preseason Predictions
American League Pick – BOSTON RED SOX (+750)
I simply don't feel this needs any further explanation. This team is going to score oodles of runs this season no matter who plays well enough to earn starting roster spots and if a player falters for one reason or another, be certain there is an all-star calibre player waiting in the wings to take over that position. That is how deep this offense is. You actually can outscore teams enough in the regular season to win plenty of games and eventually earn a postseason spot, and once you are there it's been easy to tell that it is anybody's game at that point. The pitching will hold up enough to allow this team to become the AL Pennant Champions and represent the junior circuit in the World Series.
Full American League Predictions Article
National League Pick – PITTSBURGH PIRATES (+1600)
To me the Pirates look too deep and too talented of a team to not win the NL Central division this season. It's never easy to win a division in the MLB in any season, however I feel they are ahead of the Cubs, Brewers and the Reds and will likely only have to deal with the pesky Cardinals who seem to be in the thick of it every single season. Even so, the Central could have two playoff teams this season and if so, you bet the Pirates will be one of them. If you want true value take the Pirates in 2015 to come out of the National League and participate in the World Series.

About MLBPredictions.org
My name is Kevin and I run this MLBPredictions.org website with help of my expert MLB handicapper Brent (more on him below).
This site gives out daily MLB picks and predictions that are based around betting the MLB games. Our goal is to profit as much as we can over the course of the season.
Brent is the expert handicapper that will be providing the daily MLB predictions at the blog (which can be found on the right hand side). Like I mentioned, Brent is a big baseball fan that follows games across the league every night of the baseball season. Not only does he dig into the numbers, he also watches a lot of games to get a feel for different pitchers, hitters, and teams overall.
His picks and predictions include a lot of money line predictions (straight up winners), but will also include over/under or game total picks and run line predictions.
MLB Money Line Betting Explained
Money line betting is simply betting on which team wins. If you want to see some demonstrations of money line betting in the MLB check out the video I made below.
MLB Run Line Betting Explained
Run line betting can be a little more confusing for new baseball bettors. The video below will explain it all, but basically it is like betting against the spread in football. The favorite is a 1.5 run favorite, and in order for a bet on them to win they must win by 2 or more runs. The underdog can lose by 1 run or win the game to win a run line bet. This is a way you can pick big favorites and still get a decent payout, or pick big underdogs and get an extra run.
Each free MLB pick we release here will be rated 1 unit (unless otherwise noted). 1 unit = 1% of your bankroll.
So if you had $1,000 to bet with each pick would be a $10 bet.
As an example: If the odds on a pick were +130 we would risk 1.00 unit to win 1.30 units.
This is pretty standard stuff for experienced bettors, but can be confusing to new bettors. If you don't understand anything feel free to shoot me an email.
Be Careful: When some MLB handicappers display a really good record it might be because they are laying a lot of -200 or -300 type bets. With those odds you can have a good record but still be losing money. Here at MLBPredictions.org we look to maximize profits. Our record might be 50-50 with our picks, but we could be enjoying a really profitable season betting underdogs. Don't fall for people who show off an impressive record, but bet only huge favorites (therefore aren't winning much money if any at all).
Questions about betting on the MLB? Don't be afraid to email me (contact info at bottom of page) for anything MLB or betting related. Cheers.

Military Says Christian Crosses Disrespect other Faiths
Religious liberty advocates are denouncing the U.S. military's order to remove a steeple and dismantle Christian crosses from an Army chapel in Afghanistan.
"We can confirm that those items were removed from the chapel," said a spokesman for the ISAF Joint Command. "These items were removed out of respect for the beliefs of other faiths."
The Pentagon confirmed to Fox News that cross-shaped windows on the chapel were boarded up – until they can be replaced with non-offensive doors. Click here to read our original story.
The chapel, located at Forward Operation Base Orgun-E, became the subject of controversy after an atheist soldier complained and the president of American Atheists sent a letter to the Pentagon.
"Soldiers with minority religious beliefs and atheists often feel like second-class citizens when Christianity is seemingly officially endorsed by their own base," American Atheists president David Silverman told Fox News. "We are very happy the Pentagon and the Army decided to do the right thing."
A military spokesman told Fox News the cross was literally dismantled and will be removed from the base to be in "compliance with Army regulations and to avoid any misconception of religious favoritism or disrespect."
"After a Christian prayer, the cross was removed from the roof of the chapel," the spokesman said. "During the removal, the cross was dismantled; however the cross was reassembled and currently awaits transportation to a larger operational base."
The military told Fox News the cross will only be brought out during Christian services and will be designated as a "non-permanent religious symbol."
Silverman said a Christian chapel on an Army base in Afghanistan could have put American troops in danger.
"It inflames this Muslim versus Christian mentality," he said. "This is not a Muslim versus Christian war — but if the Army base has a large chapel on it that has been converted to Christian-only, it sends a message that could be interpreted as hostile to Islam."
An Army spokesman said all chapels must be religiously neutral.
"The primary purpose of making a chapel a neutral, multi-use facility is to accommodate the free exercise of religion for all faith groups using it," he said. "We take the spiritual fitness of our Soldiers seriously and encourage them to practice their faith and exercise their beliefs however they choose."
Retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, of the Family Research Council, told Fox News a Christian cleansing of the military is under way.
"I don't think you can categorize it any other way," he said. "There is a strong effort, led partially by the Administration as well as by atheist groups to destroy the identity of who we are as a nation and that means robbing us of our history."
Boykin said he fears that the attacks on the Christian faith of soldiers could destroy the morale and the readiness of the military.
"In the long term, the greatest casualty of the conflict in Afghanistan is probably going to be the First Amendment rights of the American soldiers and the faith upon which America was founded," he said. "I'm very concerned what the administration is doing to the military on a number of fronts. This is another indicator of how we are trying to impose a liberal agenda upon the people that are protecting the very rights of all Americans to be able to worship freely."
Hiram Sasser, director of litigation for Liberty Institute, wondered why Christian soldiers must hide who they are.
"Why are we ashamed of one of the major reasons our Nation is the most generous and self-sacrificing for the benefit of others that the world has ever known – our inherently Christian benevolence," he told Fox News. "We have freed the oppressed, fed the hungry, and restored nations throughout the world without anything in particular to show for it other than the satisfaction of making the world better than we found it for the sake of goodness and doing the right thing. Why should we hide a major motivation that compels Americans to do this?"
Ron Crews, the executive director of the Chaplain Alliance, told Fox News he was extremely disappointed to hear the news.
"I'm so concerned that the military is caving in to an organization that does not understand the First Amendment," Crews said. "Christians have every right to exercise their faith in the military."
Crews said the removal of the Christian symbols was another example of "yielding to an atheist culture that is not represented by the vast majority of our military personnel nor the people who make up this nation."
"It appears Christianity is being marginalized in our military," he said. "The fact is Christian military personnel have the right –the God-given, Constitutional right to worship in an environment that speaks of who they are — and that includes having the cross as a symbol in a place of worship — even in a Muslim country."
Boykin called on Americans to call their elected representatives and make a "vehement protest" against what is taking place.
He said it's no coincidence the Obama Administration is using the military, a bastion of traditional American values, to implement social changes.
"You are seeing an assault on the military in an effort to change our society," he said. "The traditional values of the Judeo-Christian beliefs that America was founded upon – is a target of the Administration."

Agile Development At Full Stretch
In my experience, most developers are over-optimistic and tend to under-estimate.
However it's not uncommon for some teams to estimate on the cautious side. If you find yourself in this situation and finishing the Sprint (or timebox) early, include a couple of nice-to-have "stretch tasks" (or features/stories) in future Sprints.
It's important to specifically identify them as stretch tasks, i.e. "could haves" in MoSCoW terms (Must-have, Should-have, Could-have, Won't-have). Make sure no-one is ever beaten up if no stretch tasks are ever achieved in the Sprint. By contrast, do make sure you celebrate as a team if you reach any stretch tasks – even if it's just a lot of back-slapping and self-congratulation!
And don't forget to apply the same rules to the stretch tasks as everything else; they must be 100% complete (i.e. shippable) to count.
See also: 10 Key Principles of Agile Development
2 Responses to "Agile Development At Full Stretch"
I'm torn, should "could-have stretch tasks" for this sprint be the "must-have" (or at least "should-have") stories in the next sprint's product backlog? I ask because what if the team has time to start the "stretch task" but can't finish. (To prevent the unfinished task from being muda) the team is commited to completing carried-over unfinished "stretch tasks" first, which could interfere with priorities OR should "stretch tasks" all be tiny and available irregardless of priority?
Keep stretch tasks small to try to avoid this problem.
A stretch task could be to complete something that helps with the next sprint – to get a head start.
Or it could be an important research, training or documentation task.
If it's new code, and there's a chance it can't be completed before the end of the current sprint, I would advise you not to include it in the build until it's confirmed as correct, so you don't miss your sprint goal over a stretch task.

I heard the term "wikis" the other day. What does that mean?
Ah, yes, the famous wikis term. I love this question, so thank you very much for asking. I think I love this question so much because of the answer, which just happens to be something I myself use quite often. It seems as if different types of wikis have been popping up all over the Internet these days, so some of you may have already briefed over this before. Either way, keep reading to learn more about the awesome things that make up wikis.
Just to give you an idea, the most popular wiki is called Wikipedia. (You may have heard of this one before). It is a huge online encyclopedia that always offers definitions, explanations, etc. on any term you look up through the Google search engine. Wikipedia offers up more than a million articles on all sorts of subjects. It is also among the Top 100 most popular Web sites in the world.
Now, back to wikis themselves. All the other wikis that are available today are massive online resources that anyone can have access to. They are just full of simple, plainly laid out information. The simplicity is their highest selling point, because people just flock to simple things. Don't you? I know I do! I like to keep things as easy as possible in every situation. Along with the simplicity, wikis are easy to find for anyone who uses the Internet regularly.
The next thing that makes wikis so popular is that anyone who goes in and reads the information provided can edit it if they deem it necessary. If you feel there should be some changes made to an article, just click the "Edit" link at the bottom and you can type in or delete what you want. You and everyone else who use the wikis act as a community to keep the information factual to anyone who reads it. Everyone works together to keep spammers away and to make sure everything stays reliable. Editors, writers and the administrators of the wikis also work within this community.
Some of you may be hesitant to trust the information from these sites, but that's where the community and the community tools come into play. The wikis provide a set of tools for anyone to use while they visit a site. Some of these include a revision history, a watchlist, a recent changes page, etc.
Some of the other popular wikis are WikiTravel, WikiHow, Wikitionary and SwitchWiki (and don't forget Wikipedia). You can find any of these and more by doing a Google search online. If you haven't already, check out some of these wikis. They are awesome sources of information and you may just be amazed at what you can find. Go get 'em!

Just an interest thing ... I know several folks have some real old firearms, in fact IIRC Betty inherited one this year.
So - what is your oldest - not in type but actual manufacture?
I think my oldest is probably a Webley MkVI altho I have two crappy old revo's which must be pretty ancient - a "Young Americans" in .22 short and an Ivor Johnson in .32 S&W. I also have a Mauser Obendorfe bolt rifle in .22 which research suggests goes back to the 20's (wish I could find a spare mag for it!).
Several other guns go back to 50's and 60's but not early 1900's. I guess those of us with early milsurps can count those in too - but thinking more of non mil.
What have you got that's real old? Pic's are good. Here's my Webley and Mauser .....

I was too sick last week to post anything but I'm recovering enough now to hopefully be able to post last week's news, maybe one interview, and then I'm off for some Black Friday shopping to support the economy and the chemical industry (I will do my best…)
LanzaTech sent me this news on November 17 about their project with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to develop drop-in jet fuel using waste gas-based 2,3 butanediol (2,3-BD) as feedstock.
Now I've been confused with butanediols since I always encountered 1,4 butanediol (BDO) in previous posts (such as Genomatica's project) but I guess 2,3 BD is quite different and I have not really gotten much market information on this particular building block except a couple of research studies. I am guessing that there is not really a commercial market for 2,3 BD or if there is, it's a very small one although anybody reading this, pls. let me know if I'm wrong.
I have not yet spoken to LanzaTech but I'm planning to do it soon. According to various bits and pieces found on the web, 2,3-BD is typically produced by a variety of microorganism in an anaerobic fermentation of glucose. I have not yet found any mention that 2,3-BD can be produced via petrochemical processing.
Like 1,4 BDO, 2,3-butanediol also known as 2,3-butylene glycol can be used as a chemical building block to produce solvents, polymers, resins and fuel. With a heating value of 27,200 Joules/gram, BD is said to be favorably comparable to ethanol (29,100 J/g) and methanol (22,100 J/g) for use as a liquid fuel and fuel additive.
This is what LanzaTech and PNNL are looking to develop under the sanction of the US Department of Energy (DOE). The first phase of the development project is expected to be done within a year with the DOE funding and LanzaTech contributing to it. By how much is another question to ask LanzaTech. PNNL by the way, is a national laboratory of the DOE and has been managed by Ohio-based Battelle.
For some other fun facts about 2,3-BD, dehydration of this chemical leads to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) production and then further dehydration yields 1,3 butanediene which is the starting material for synthetic rubber and as an important monomer for the polymer industry.

|Added Celsius Cirrus to the list. I think what I'm going to do is take down recommendations and go to an exclusive board shop and try them all out.
|I went to the Celsius Cirrus from the 2009 Vans Andreas (which were a relatively stiff freeride/freestyle boot before they introduced the softer model in 2010) and I would recommend doing the same to anyone who's looking for a well rounded boot. The Vans were way too stiff for jibbing because they wouldn't flex forward enough when setting the board down on a rail. The Cirrus are just a little softer with good forward flex but still rigid enough to handle big jumps and some freeriding. Obviously that will also depend on how soft your bindings are too. I've ridden 32's lashed and team 2's and thought they were both way too soft, even though the team 2's had a pretty high rating.
Boot flex
I'm looking for a boot with flex that's in between park and freeride, an all mtn boot and I'm finding manufacturers ratings are BS. It seems like Thirty Two's flex rating is at least 2-3 levels softer than what they say and the majority of boots I find most comfortable I can fold in half with two fingers... I'm finding it's either great fit and marshmallows, or perfect flex rating and uncomfortable, I cannot find the perfect blend.
Anyways I feel bad having to try on every boot in the shop. I was at Sport Chalet for like an hour trying on different boots and I started feeling bad for the guy..
Whats even better is that the boots I went with that felt good in the store ended up giving me numb toes, pain, and hot spots after one day of boarding. So I returned them. They were Nike Vapens, I think I needed to go down half a size but of course they didn't have that.
So if I can get some true 5 flex ratings for different boots regardless of what they actually say that'd really help me a lot.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Do you plan on charging the rest of the mountain, or treating it like a park? At your weight you have more options. Check out the Arbor westmark and blacklist too. Plus other brands.
Proto, SL are two more. Me, I chose the Evo it just looks so buttery fun. I plan on picking up a stiffer board later in the year. Maybe an Arbor just to try a few brands. Flows look fun too (and cheap)
Wait for it, wait for it. I'm waiting for everyone on the Proto CT bandwagon to reply.
Evo is a good choice if you're park oriented without being a limp noodle on the rest of the mountain. It won't be a hard charger like the Premier or Raptor mind you. If you're more the type to finish a run maybe with a jaunt in the park, the SL.
NS boards are definitely solid...tanks even. I haven't found any reason not to have an NS deck in my quiver. I like to try other tech but always have an NS handy to contrast and compare as my go-to deck. LOL
Never summer EVO
Hello as winter is coming up i plan to buy a board soon i have been looking at different boards
I plan to ride everything in the park but still be able to ride everywhere else on the mountain.
I am 6'1 and i weigh 170lbs and i have a size 11 boot.
I plan on getting the 157 Never Summer EVO
Is this a good choice for a first board (i know how to ride just want to learn park) and will it last me a couple years?
Thank you

[UNDER-17 WORLD CUP] It looks like Nigeria will lose the Under-17 World Cup, which it is scheduled to host in the fall.
Following an inspection
tour, Concacaf president Jack Warner, who serves as chairman of the U-17 organizing committee, said he would give local organizers a month to get all nine prospective venues ready.
two of the nine venues -- stadiums in Abuja and Lagos -- passed inspection.
Three other venues were dropped from consideration -- Bauchi and Kaduna, along with the stadium in Warri, which
Warner's delegation could not visit because of security concerns in the Delta State region -- meaning that the four remaining venues -- Calabar, Enugu, Ijebu-Ode and Kano -- must pass muster.
"When the grace period expires, FIFA will return to visit the venues and if each and every one of them does not reach the 100 percent readiness level that we expect, then FIFA will withdraw
the tournament hosting rights from Nigeria and go to another country," Warner said. "Frankly, from an objective point of view, Nigeria is not ready to host the tournament."

The current focus on petrol prices is apparently causing a fundamental shift in buying habits. If the latest new car sales figures are to be believed there is a significant trend towards smaller more fuel-efficient cars.
That being the case there is no reason to believe there won't be a similar shift in the buying pattern of used car buyers and cars like Mitsubishi's proven Lancer could well be one of those used cars buyers turn to.
The Lancer has been a popular small car for many years. The Lancer badge dates back to the 1970s when it was part of the then Chrysler family, but in the years that have followed it has become a well respected Mitsubishi name representing quality, reliability, affordability and style.
Added to that a long history of success in rallying would have helped build its reputation considerably as well.
Mitsubishi has maintained a steady as she goes policy with the Lancer, and why not when they've got a winner in their showrooms.
The current car can be traced back to the late 1980s, although that shouldn't suggest that it is mired in the past. The Lancer is a great little car that holds its own in the toughly contested small car sales race.
Compared to other current small cars the Lancer isn't the most stylish. In an era in which stylists are going for the carved from stone look with crisp edges and sharply defined shapes the soft and cuddly Lancer looks a little like it's been styled for an older more conservative buyer.
The problem with styling though is that it comes into fashion fast and can drop out of fashion just as quickly, and the jury is out on the current trend. The Lancer on the other hand, while making you feel like throwing on a cardigan, has stood the test of time quite well and still looks appealing even if it feels a bit like an old sock now.
There were three body styles on offer in the Lancer catalogue, the four-door sedan, wagon and two-door coupe. If the sedan and wagon finds favour with young families, older couples, or those wanting a second car, the coupe is the one that younger buyers prefer.
The GLi opened the range in sedan and coupe form, and came standard with power steering, cloth trim, full wheel trims, and a fairly basic two-speaker sound system.
For more there was the GLXi sedan and wagon that came with central locking, power mirrors and four-speaker sound.
If you wanted more in a coupe there was the sporty MR, which was standard with alloy wheels, side body skirts, fog lamps, power windows and a rear spoiler.
In the GLi the power initially came from a 1.5-litre single overhead camshaft fuel-injected four-cylinder engine that pumped out 69 kW at 550 revs and 126 Nm of torque, but buyers of the GLXi and MR had the extra punch of a 1.8-litre SOHC engine that boasted 86 kW at 5500 revs and peak torque of 161 Nm.
An update in 1999 saw the 1.8-litre engine replace the 1.5-litre unit in the GLi sedan and coupe.
Both had the choice of a five-speed manual gearbox or four-speed auto and drove through the front wheels.
To get behind the wheel of an early GLi sedan with the 1.5-litre engine $8500 to $12,500, but $12,750 to $18,500 will get you a later car with the larger engine. A similar GLi coupe can be had for about $500 less than the sedan equivalent.
To move up to the better equipped GLXi sedan and wagon you'll have to part with around $1200 more.
For the sporty MR coupe that came with the 1.8-litre engine from the start you'll need to pay between $11,000 $22,000.
The Lancer has an enviable reputation for reliability. Mechanics who regularly work on them say they give little trouble, although they stress that it's important to change the cam timing belt as per Mitsubishi's recommendation of 90,000 km.
Generally the Lancer is a strong little car that stands up well in crash testing, making it a safe choice for young drivers.
If there's a down side it is that they're noisy. Expect a lot of road and engine noise, which can trick you into thinking something is wrong. Again experienced mechanics say it's not unusual for owners to think they've done a wheel bearing when it's only road noise they're hearing.
It's simply that car companies tend not to spend much money on sound proofing of small cars and in most that means there's a lot of road noise.
The Lancer was rated about average in the latest annual survey of real life crashes. Crash protection improved with the addition of a driver's airbag in the GLi and GLXi in 2001, the MR coupe got dual airbags at the same time.
Louise Ryan bought her Lancer GLi coupe in 2004. She liked its looks, thought its performance was good, and preferred the idea of buying a new car rather than the risk of purchasing a used car. In the 11,000 km she has now done in it there have no problems and she's happy enough with it to consider buying another one. Her only complaint is that there is little room in the rear when she needs to carry passengers.
• four-cylinder fuel economy
• middle of the road styling that will last
• sporty coupe favourite of young buyers
• zippy performance
• reliable engines and gearboxes
• high level of road noise
• Holden Astra – 1998-2004 – $13,500-$20,500
• Ford Laser – 1997-2002 – $13,500-$19,500
• Nissan Pulsar – 1995-2000 – $9000-$17,500
A good reliable small car that will give good service with a good turn of speed with miserly fuel consumption.

Okay this is my least-favorite thing to organize because there's not much in the way of prettiness I can add to it, but, alas, my office space is overflowing into my kitchen
I'm gearing up for a major overhaul of my home office and I want to know... what type of organization/filing system do you use? What type of paperwork do you keep and for how long?
I want to move all of my bills over to electronic pay and I spent some time on the phone today asking to be taken off of credit card/department store mailing lists. Hopefully that will cut down on the pieces of paper constantly piling up.
Send me some inspiration!
Learning to... and with myby my side!
http://ultimatemoneyblog.com/record-retention-guidelines Here's a guideline I use for paperwork. I hate having to keep things!
I shred most bills that we get paper billed for. Most of ours are set up on electronic billing and we can print them if we ever need to.
J, mom to my baby girl born January 22, 2012!
I have a shelf full of 3 ring binders that I use for our paperwork. I have binder each for taxes, bills, investments, bank accounts, insurance, medical records, house/apartment paperwork, and then a few I can't remember. I use separators in the binders to divide them up, like in the bills binder, there's a section for Con Ed, cable, cell phones, etc. I keep our taxes forever, everything else I keep about 12 months worth.
I use the standard filing cabinet system with hanging files and folders. I pay nearly everything online and get online bank statements, so I don't have much paperwork to deal with.
Here's what I have in mine. The first one is the hanging file and then the items after the dash are folders inside. I also have them color-coded. Green for finances, red for vehicles, yellow for owners manuals, purple for household stuff. I'm definitely Type A...
- one folder for each of the past 7 years of income taxes
- personal property taxes
- real estate taxes
Income/Receipts (my husband needs to save this sort of stuff for tax time because of his work situation)
- one folder for paycheck stubs from each employer
- receipts
- one folder for each bank account
- one folder for each investment account
Insurance (I only keep the current policy. When we get new policies, I shred the old ones and replace.)
- auto
- home
- life
- health
- one folder for each vehicle
- mortgage
Credit Reports
- one folder for my report and one for my husband. I get the free report for each of us every year and shred the old one.
Bills (These are odd bills that aren't paid monthly, like doctor visits for example.)
- Current Bills
- Paid
- one folder per vehicle (these are things like service records, maintenance logs since we do our own oil changes and that sort of stuff)
Owners Manuals
- Household (kitchen appliances, etc.)
- Tools (my husband has a huge collection of tools, so his manuals get their own folder)
- Kids
- Recipes To Try
- Recipes To File
- Restaurant Menus
And then each household member (including our dogs for vet/shot records) have their own hanging file for miscellaneous paperwork.
I probably save paperwork longer than I should. I keep owners manuals until we get rid of the item. I keep vehicle records, including loan paperwork, until we get rid of the vehicle, even if the loan is long paid. I save bank account paperwork until the account is closed. The paycheck stubs and receipts, I usually keep for 2-3 years in case we get audited. Here's another link with record retention guidelines: http://www.onlineorganizing.com/ExpertAdviceToolboxTips.asp?tipsheet=24
I said at the beginning of my post that I don't have much paperwork, but it sure does seem like a lot after I list it all out!
2/4/2009. 9/6/2011!
