Sainte Marie de La Tourette is a Dominican Order priory on a hillside near Lyon, France designed by architects Le Corbusier and Iannis Xenakis and constructed between 1956 and 1960. Le Corbusier's design of the building began in May, 1953 with sketches drawn at L'Arbresle, France outlining the basic shape of the building and terrain of the site.[1] La Tourette is considered one of the most important buildings of the late Modernist style.
In July 2016, the building and several other works by Le Corbusier were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.[2]
Under the instigation of Marie-Alain Couturier the Dominicans of Lyon charged Le Corbusier with the task of constructing the priory on a hillside at Éveux, near Lyon.
The building contains a hundred bedrooms for teachers and students as well as study halls, a hall for work and one for relaxation, a library and a refectory. There is also a church, where the friars worship and pray, which connects all the parts (the achievement of the traditional cloister form is rendered impossible here by the slope of terrain). On two levels, the loggias crowning the building (one for each acoustically isolated monk's cell) form brises-soleil. The study halls, work and relaxation halls, as well as the library occupy the upper-level. Below is the refectory and the cloister in the form of a cross leading to the church. And then come the piles carrying the four convent buildings rising from the slope of the terrain left in its original condition, without terracing.
The structural frame is of rough reinforced concrete. The panes of glass located on the three exterior faces, the so-called "pans de verre ondulatoire" ("undulating glass surfaces"), were designed by Xenakis, and are similar to those of the Secretariat at Chandigarh on which Xenakis also worked. On the other hand, in the garden-court of the cloister, the fenestration is composed of large concrete elements reaching from floor to ceiling, perforated with glazed voids and separated from one another by "ventilators": vertical slits covered by metal mosquito netting and furnished with a pivoting shutter. The corridors leading to the dwelling cells are lit by a horizontal opening located under the ceiling.
Built as a chapel, residence and place of learning for Dominican friars, the monastery groups around a central courtyard a U-shaped mass, and the court is closed off by the chapel at the end.
At La Tourette many aspects of Corbusier's developed architectural vocabulary are visible – the vertical brise-soleils used with effect in India, light-cannons piercing solid masonry walls, and window-openings separated by Modulor-controlled vertical divisions. In contrast with Ronchamp, the building does not crown and complement the site, but instead dominates the landscape composition.
If there is harmony, it is in the finishes that in their roughness and near-brutality betray some empathy with the life of a friar. La Tourette makes no claim to the effete bourgeois lifestyle embodied at the Villa Savoye; its antecedents, if anything, are the Greek monasteries of Mount Athos and an almost mythological history.
At the Couvent de la Tourette (1960), Le Corbusier found an echo, in an architectural project, of the personal principles of self-denial and monastic simplicity that he himself adhered to.
Though still functioning for a reduced population of friars, La Tourette has, like Ronchamp, become something of a pilgrimage site for students of architecture. The priory allows overnight stays in the unused cells. Fees for the room go to maintenance of the priory.[citation needed]

I have only shot the evolution a couple times so I can not give a review on it.
I own and love the Carter Only. Lots of adjustment and nice feel in the hand. Prior to it I was using a 3 finger Scott Longhorn. Only reason I switch to the Only was just to try something different. I actually think I may get a little more consistant release with the Only.

I didn't do to well with the Evo. After a couple of weeks, I went back to my Zenith hinge. This wasn't the release, it was completely me. I think that my form isn't what you need for the Evo.
One thing that I did learn about it was that you have to keep your bow shoulder down. If you let it come up you'll feel like you are pulling the wheels off, but in reality, you won't be putting enough pressure on the release to get it to let go.
Also, I had a little trouble switching back. It took me a couple of days to get back to shooting my hinge well.
Hope this helps,
So there's nothing wrong with a hinge release then? I've had some folks trying to shove the Evo down my throat saying how bad a hinge is. Funny, I've shot the Atension and the Evo and by far prefered the Atension.
Thanks for the replies, keep them coming.

Well i own both plus a sensation.
What the biggest thing with the evo is that you MUST make a perfect shoot every Time, If on uneven ground it's hard to be consistent with it.
The only I shoot better In the long run as I've had it for a couple of weeks and enjoy it more as i have a little more room for mistakes.
Hope this helps

I quickly grabbed a piece from an article I wrote a while back; some of this may give you an insight on your question
I hope it helps.
I prefer mine set Hard be it the Hinge, Thumb release, Evo
Setting it up so it fires without much effort a hair trigger works fine for a while but usually tends to make a person anticipate the shot, builds paranoia over miss fires while drawing back and letting down and causes some shots to be premature - firing very quickly while settling into the X
When setting up a hinge or thumb release that has more hang time or travel while pulling thru the shot helps a person stay stronger thru the aiming process of the shot thus helping a person from having a weak shot due to pre-relaxing of the muscles while still aiming Versus staying strong and somewhat stable thru the whole shot process.
You will see at times when some of us shoot under pressure in a shoot off where we have to let down because of the shot not going off as wanted we will then switch to a Harder release - more travel or effort needed before it fires in order to stay stronger in that high pressure shot thus scoring better under pressure. Most people think that we are switching to an easier release when its actually the opposite.
Have you heard the saying? - No two people are ever alike; everyone does have their own unique personality. This statement carries a lot of weight when it comes to one being able to understand and repeat in a physical manner what he or she has been taught.
My old saying here is Archery is 95% mental and I still say this is close to being true yet today. Truly the only obstacle that most have to get by to achieve what we all desire is the space between our ears. Being that we all have our own unique personality affects on how we interpret a command, how our mind reacts to pressure, how we stay focused, and most of all how each and every one of us can try to stay relaxed versus being nervous.
We all have the desire to shoot well, one simple step will turn one individual into a shooting machine where as this wont do diddly for the rest of the archers that are working their way up.
I myself many years ago shot back to back 55x -300s at the nationals and I did this with my hunting target release a Scott Mongoose caliper release triggered with the finger,
I went to a back tension to try to get the last couple Xs more consistent.The only one that is your competitor is the air between your ears!

I have the EVO + and the Sensation.
I'm not sure if it is designed this way or not, but the sensation seems to be part thumb release part tension release.
What I notice is that with a heavier spring in it, I can load up the thumb pretty good. Then start to pull through the shot like with a back tension release. The shot will go off without increasing thumb pressure.
You can see this principle if you screw in the thumb adjustment screw, you can get it to trigger much like a tension release. I had mine set too light initially and punched myself in the face twice in the same day before realizing what I had done.
The EVO is cool. It wont let you shoot incorrectly... My first day of shooting it I let down about 50 shots. I havent let down 50 shots all year!
It's an excellent tool. Not sure about it's use for me in tournaments. The uphills are brutal with it. Still too early to tell.
The sensation is amazing in its own right. Together, they are absolutely awesome.
Thanks everyone. I've ordered myself a 4 finger TRU Ball HT.

University of Delaware Outdoor Track & Field to Christen New Track Surface Saturday when Blue Hens Host Delaware Open
Related Links
Delaware will host nearly 500 athletes from 30 men's and women's intercollegiate and club teams when the event gets underway on Saturday, Apr. 12. The field events will start at 10:30 a.m. with track events beginning at 12 noon. Admission to the event is free.
Previously known as Delaware Mini-Stadium, the facility was renamed the Stuart and Suzanne Grant Stadium earlier this year in recognition of the $1.5 million leadership donation from UD Trustee Stuart Grant and his wife, Suzanne. This history-making gift was the largest single donation made by an individual or couple in support of a UD Athletics facility project.
The track events will be held on a brand new eight-lane, high performance, all-weather track surface. The 400-meter Beynon Sports blue embedded track surface was installed during the fall. Improvements were also made to the long jump and high jump areas.
"We are really excited to return home and compete this weekend," said Delaware head coach Wendy McFarlane. "It has been exciting to practice in this beautiful new facility and take advantage of all the great improvements that have been made. We are looking for some fast times and great performances on Saturday."
The field events will include the pole vault, long jump, triple jump, high jump, javelin, hammer, shot put, and discus while the 14 track events will include the 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters, 1,500 meters, 3,000 meters, 5,000 meters, 100/110 meter hurdles, 400 meter intermediate hurdles, 3,000 meter steeplechase, 4 x 100 meter relay, and 4 x 400 meter relay. A special alumni 4 x 100 meter relay race will also take place.
Intercollegiate teams scheduled to compete are Delaware, Delaware State, ASA College, Community College of Philadelphia, Franklin & Marshall, Harcum Junior College, Monroe College, Rosemont College, Towson, Valley Forge Military Academy, and Villanova.
Club teams scheduled to appear are the Adidas Garden State Track Club, Ballistic Response Athletics, CPTC New Balance, Delaware Track Club, Greater Philadelphia Track Club, High Speed Track, ISAA, Javelin USA, Moore Elite Track Club, Philly Masters, Potomac Valley Track Club, Shore Athletic Club, The Professionals, TNT International Race Club, Towson University Track Club, UD Alumni, and Villanova Club Running.
Over 50 University of Delaware track & field alumni will be in attendance - including several meet competitors - and gather for an event at the Bob Carpenter Center from 5-7 p.m. followed by an reception at Klondike Kate's Restaurant on Main Street. Free t-shirts and posters will be given to the first 50 alumni present at the meet.
Also, to add to the festivities of the day, the UD women's outdoor track & field team will be conducting an athletic shoe drive for the More Foundation Group. The team is requesting fans to donate gently-used shoes for the less fortunate

She differentiates between Israeli and non-Israeli Palestinians, works for Israeli media, and represented Israel in eurovision.
Only at the eurovision Song Contest in 2014 could a guy with a beard wearing a frock cause such ructions.
The choice was an unorthodox one for Finland, which had been shamed for an especially poor record at eurovision in the past.
eurovision boasts that its voting procedure is " legendary"—conceivably for all the wrong reasons.
It doesn't matter what artists Elnur & Samir are singing; the message is perfectly clear in their 2008 eurovision performance.
Because Awad represented Israel in the 2009 eurovision song contest.
Mazor performs "Rak Bishvilo", which she'll also sing at the eurovision finals in Sweden next month.
Elnur & Samir managed to place eighth at eurovision, despite what can only be described as an assault on ears around the world.
In 1998, she was selected to represent Israel in the prestigious eurovision contest, winning first place.
Israel even won the eurovision Song Contest a few times, once led to the win by a transgender pioneer.

Video Game Slows Time To Wait For Player's Next Move [Video]
SUPERHOT is a first person shooter created by Blue Brick that features an intuitive minute and second control mechanism.
Developed during the 7dfps challenge, which called for companies to make a first person shooter in seven days, SUPERHOT is a fresh take on the genre. In the game, time only moves when you move, giving players a chance to carefully plan what they're going to do next.
Created by Polish company Blue Brick, the fluid time mechanics and limited ammunition mean every level is like a strategic puzzle that needs to be solved. Time slows down when the player isn't moving, and this intuitive time control mechanism creates innovative gameplay.
Fight enemies that dodge your bullets like you dodge theirs. FINALLY WORTHY ADVERSARIES. Predict their moves, outsmart and CHECKMATE THEM INTO A CORNER, storming with bullets. Prove your MASTERY OVER TIME itself.
The aim is to get rid of all the aggressive enemies in the level, and this occurs during short and intense action scenes. Players can dodge bullets and when their ammo runs out they can take down armed enemies with their bare hands.
You can play SUPERHOT online and vote for it on Steam Greenlight to see the game expanded further. Check out the trailer below:

1. What is a content management system?
Well, funny you should ask. A CMS is a web application you run on your web server to help facilitate creating a website. A good CMS should be flexible, unobtrusive and help you to make a great site. It should provide you with tools to help the layman keep track of content, while letting more experienced webmasters handle look and feel. It should also provide tools to make repetitive things less repetitive. Like, for example, News entries.
CMS Made Simple™ tries to do all those things, and to do them well.
2. Why CMS Made Simple™?
CMS Made Simple™ is an open source ( GPL) package first released in July 2004. Its built using PHP that provides website developers with a simple, easy to use utility to allow building small-ish (dozens to hundreds of pages), semi-static websites. Typically our tool is used for corporate websites, or the website promoting a team or organization, etc. This is where we shine. There are other content management packages that specialize in building portals, or blogs, or article based content, etc. CMS Made Simple™ can do much of this, but it is not our area of focus.
CMS Made Simple™ provides a mechanism for the website administrator to create and manage "pages", their layout, and their content. CMS Made Simple™ is unobtrusive.... You can create a table based layout, or a fully validating XHTML/CSS layout.
CMS Made Simple™ makes managing the navigation in your website a breeze... you can re-organize your pages any way you want, and navigations are automatically created from your page hierarchy. This tool makes creating numerous different navigations with the entire page hierarchy, or a subset of it "simple".
CMS Made Simple™ separates layout code from content code, so that editors can manage content without having to know much about how websites work, so that layouts can be easily edited and take effect on numerous pages, and can be easily shared. With CMS Made Simple™ you design once, and easily use that same design over and over again. Smarty (a php based templating engine) is used to provide most of the caching, templating, and logic capabilities. This basic building block also provides the ability for website administrators to virtually eliminate any duplication of code or content.
The Core package provides the ability to manage news articles, search functionality a contact form, a WYSIWYG editor (for your customers or editors) and numerous other built in functions. Additionally, there are hundreds of third party add-on tools that are quickly and easily installable to allow building websites with many different capabilities.
CMS Made Simple™ is built in PHP, and allows you to integrate many existing PHP scripts or PHP snippets into your website... Though you definitely don't need in-depth knowledge of PHP to use CMS Made Simple™.
3. Who should use CMS Made Simple™?
If you're an experienced web developer. If you have found that sometimes creating a simple corporate or organization website is difficult in some of the other content management systems. If you have found that other CMS's are sometimes "overkill" for what you need. If you want to be able to hand off the content management to editors. If you want complete control over the layout and appearance of the site, and you know how to do it... If you want a simple, easy to use, yet expandable tool - then CMS Made Simple™ is probably for you.
CMS Made Simple™ is not a replacement for packages that build static websites like Dreamweaver or FrontPage, etc. These packages don't use databases, provide little in the way of dynamic content, and usually content cannot be edited by customers.
4. Is CMS Made Simple™ really "simple"?
Yes it is. Many of our experienced users find it a simple tool for building many websites. However, that does not mean that there isn't some learning to be done. You will at the least need to learn our vocabulary, explore the package and it's options, play around a bit, and probably do considerable learning. Did you jump right in to HTML and learn how to do professional websites in 30 minutes. Probably not, and CMS packages (including this one) are similar. There are a few things you will need to learn.
5. What knowledge do I need?
To take advantage of CMS Made Simple™, you should have at a minimum a basic understanding of:
- Creating Databases, and backing up / restoring databases.
- Working with, and transferring files to a remote host
- Manipulating permissions on remote hosts
- A basic understanding of HTML and CSS
- Diagnosing errors:
From time to time, with different hosts, problems do occur in any online application. When working with these, you need a basic understanding of how they work, and how to diagnose some problems, so that you can assist the support personnel, or perhaps identify and solve the problem on your own. This includes:
- Finding your website error logs and access logs
- The ability to understand some of the error messages or access log lines
- The ability to find, identify and to some level diagnose Javascript errors
- An ability to learn independently, and do some research on your own.
6. What are the system requirements?
- - CMSMS 2.0 Requires a web server with PHP 5.4.11+ enabled. PHP 5.5+ is recommended.
- - PHAR support, putenv support and a working system temporary directory for the installation assistant.
- - CMSMS 1.7 through 1.12.x require a minimum of PHP 5.2.4 (5.2.12 recommended).
- - At least 16mb of available memory for PHP
(This should work fine for most small to medium sized websites. However, as your site grows, or you utilize other addon modules, your memory requirements may increase.)
- - PHP tokenizer support enabled
- - GD enabled for manipulating graphics files
- - MySQL 4.1+
- - Enough access to your server to upload files and change some permissions
- Note: CMS Made Simple™ does not officially support PHP safe mode
7. Where can I get help/support?
There are numerous forms of support available for CMS Made Simple™:
- The default content:
The well documented content pages, templates and stylesheets that are displayed with a new installation of CMS Made Simple™ are an invaluable way of introducing yourself to the package and getting to know how the package works. We encourage you to read all of this thoroughly and save this information for future reference while building your website.
- The Documentation
- Built in Help:
Each module and tag installed in a CMS Made Simple™ website includes basic help and examples to assist in utilizing the the functionality.
- Public/Community support
The CMS Made Simple™ forum is an invaluable way of finding out information about the CMS Made Simple™ core, and the add-ons. There are thousands of posts by the development team and members of our community that describe the various problems our users have encountered, and how they were solved.
We attempt to keep the forum clean from distracting posts, or posts that are not directly and specifically relevant to CMS Made Simple™. Additionally, in order to expedite support, we ask that all users spend the time to research, and accurately describe their issues. Therefore please read and follow the forum rules when posting.
- Commercial Support:
Paid support is available to those people with an important project that are concerned about the turn-around time that may be related to getting an issue solved. Additionally, if you would like to have somebody to call for problems that you just can't fix, upgrade issues, backups, or any other concern, then commercial support may be an option for you.
- Paid Development:
So you've got the tool up and running, and you like what you see.... but your project requires some functionality that isn't yet available for CMSMS™... or doesn't quite work the way you want it to. For that, the CMS Made Simple™ Development Team offers independent contracting services. Our in-depth knowledge of the tool, and experience in building the package and its add-on modules can ensure that you get a working, well fitting, quality tool.
8. How can I help?

Why the iPhone Matters
My co-founder Mark Heinrich and I have long wondered why consumers buy personal computers. It's not like they are particularly well designed or easy to use. They are complicated to configure, hard to maintain and a source of great frustration. As products, they are poorly designed and remind me of the early automobiles, which required the owner to know how to perform rudimentary repairs to be sufficiently reliable. In 2 minutes, my child could render a personal computer unbootable by removing important system files. Try doing that to an iPhone. Not possible, it is an appliance.
The reason consumers buy personal computers is that there was nothing better. All devices intended to replace the personal computer, up to now, have been underpowered toys. What self-respecting geek wants a webtv as their computer at home?
Enter the iPhone, and by the iPhone, I don't really mean the current device phone, but instead the touch based platform and embedded OS that runs on the iPhone. In that, we can see the seeds of the future. A 12 inch tablet-sized version of the iPhone would be a fantastic family computer.
I keep an on old laptop as a kitchen counter. We use it to read mail, keep a calendar, shop, lookup movies, resolve disputes (who was in that movie? ask IMDB) and surf the web. A 12 inch tablet iPhone would be much better for that. We would primarily use it as touch computer, but if we wanted to send a long email, we could use a bluetooth keyboard. And if we wanted to relax on the couch, we would pick it up and use it in our lap.
General purpose computers will continue to be sold of course. But they are most appropriate as engineering workstations, or the power tools of knowledge workers, not for mainstream computing. It was only a matter of time before something replaced the personal computer, and that something is going to be the tablet iPhone (yet to be released).
Will Apple take it all here? I don't know. Apple has traditionally catered to the high end of the market. My guess is that Microsoft will do a similar device based on their surface computing efforts that will hit a lower price points and might become the mainstream alternative.
To me, it is remarkable that at the exact moment developers have given up writing downloadable apps for Macs and PCs, preferring instead to target the browser, that those same developers are clamoring to write for the iPhone. This proves in my mind that it was never about the web being a superior programming platform. Instead, it was about the web browser creating a walled garden within your frustrating computer that was well behaved and predictable.
And so the pendulum swings back. Personally, I am tremendously excited because I have long thought that while I may need/want a full featured Mac with the ability to bring up a process list and run "ifconfig" on the ethernet interface, my mom does not.
In the iPhone we are witnessing the launch of a new consumer computing platform that will be extended by developers all over the world. Let the fun begin.


text: TEL AVIV, Israel, November 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A new service for eBook promotion was established today by Benny Carmi, RishonLeZion Israel. This initiative follows a great success for several months in eBook promotion campaigns for indie book authors. The service includes keywords analysis, strategic promotion plan, author and book branding, book promotion on many relevant sites, social media promotion and more. Benny Carmi promoted the book " DISAPPEARANCE" (A Mystery and Espionage Thriller), by Niv Kaplan, to be ranked #1 with 32,000 downloads within 24 hours during a free book promotion. In another campaign, Carmi promoted the cookbook: "101 healthy Vegan Burgers Recipes"(Quick & Easy Grilled, Fried, Baked Vegan Recipes Books) to Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #60 Paid in Kindle Store. Benny said: I want to share my experience and knowledge of Amazon promoting secretes with my clients. There are 2 million books on Amazon and the competition is fierce. In order to have many downloads you need to know how to push the book to a place where it is seen by potential buyers. Unfortunately, very few indie authors know how to do it. I learned it the hard way and I am now going to help others. About Benny Carmi Benny Carmi started this business by chance. He wrote a children's book with his wife Tali Carmi: "Terry Treetop Finds New Friends" (Adventure & Education series for ages 2-6) (Animal Habitats & Environment children's books collection) [Kindle Edition] and another 2 books in this series. Carmi developed tools and strategy to market them on Amazon. On his way to success, he encountered so many difficulties, that he read every piece of available information on eBook promotion, joined 200 indie author's facebook groups and purchased supporting software and analytical tools. Upon getting excellent results with his children's book, he started to help other authors and consequently established this new initiative.

Personal Data Video Game & Walking for Art [PechaKucha]
Today's presentations from the Pecha Kucha archive include work by Italian students exploring privacy and a tour of art in Pittsburg.
Today's presentations from the Pecha Kucha archive include work by Italian students exploring privacy and a tour of art in Pittsburg.
Walking and taking in art sure sounds like a winning combination, and that's just what you get with First Fridays Artswalk. Mary McGinnis uses her presentation (from PKN Pittsfield Vol. 1) to explain the project.
Federico Fasce (of Urustar) talks about how he thinks games can change the world. He believes that games are the most important form of expression of this century. The presentation (in Italian, from PKN Genoa Vol. 1) covers his experience with Privacy Traders, a game designed and developed for high school students. In Privacy Traders, through mechanical trade and exchange, the idea is to stimulate a reflection on the sharing of personal data, on the role of the internet and social networks, and on the importance to better understand the people to whom we entrust sensitive data every day.
We have a few new posters on the Tumblr blog today, starting with PKN Nantes Vol. 4 that you see above. Also added were posters for PKN St. Petersburg Vol. 21, as well as for PKN Dunedin Vol. 13 and 14.
Here's a video teaser for PKN Hyderabad Vol. 10, which is taking place this coming Saturday (September 1).
There's no PKN on the agenda for tonight, but tomorrow night (August 28) you can catch PKN San Francisco Vol. 51 and PKN Buenos Aires Vol. 26.

Hot New Diet Niche In The $20 Billion Weight Loss Market
If you're a regular reader you'll know that every week I try and evaluate a hot niche market, show you why it's profitable and how you can dominate it.
This week I'm looking at a hot new niche called the 'Mediterranean diet' part of the huge and lucrative $20 billion dollar weight loss market.
This diet has really picked up steam recently and is one of the top 3 searched diets on the net after paleo and atkins.
People like this weight loss method because it allows them to eat tasty food that is actually good for you - fresh fish, meat, nuts and vegetables are in abundance.
Compared to other diets this one allows people to eat a wider range of foods and doesn't restrict their eating too much.
This hot diet niche will only continue to grow in popularity.
(P.S. If you'd like to download a free list of 1,781 profitable niches click here or the image below)
Let's Look at the Demand
Here's the monthly search volumes on Google for the niche. As you can see it's in huge demand and some great keywords.

On The Media And The Presidential CampaignsJon Fine
I spent this past week working on a column concerning the Presidential campaigns and the rampancy of today's media environment. This gave me an excellent excuse to spend hours each day monitoring every conceivable twitch and twitter of nonstop political news and polling and blogging cycles.
It was fun and all, but it's also a surefire way to end up with the information equivalent of an ice cream headache every day. (Not that this stopped me.)
The New York Observer's John Koblin just weighed in on a similar topic. He was remarking on how hard it is for the big print stories of today to break through the clutter:
Does print journalism matter in this election?
"It's obvious, and no crime against humanity, that the world has many, many places to turn for information, misinformation, analysis, rants, etc," wrote Bill Keller, the executive editor of The New York Times, in an e-mail. "We—The Times, The Washington Post, Politico, the news outlets that aim to be aggressive, serious and impartial—don't dominate the conversation the way we once did, and that's fine, except it means some excellent hard work gets a little muffled. "But we do want our work to be noticed," he wrote, "and I've been repeatedly surprised at the rich, important stories that fail to resonate the way they deserve."
In-boxes crammed with New York Times articles and Huffington Post hyperlinks do not advertise their relative value or importance. Everything is equal, everything is a tie and nothing, it seems, is important anymore.
Koblin's piece is sharp, and you should read it. I'll have more to blog about this whole subject when my column, which looks at this through a slightly different lens, goes online tomorrow.

The Images In My Head
I'm so glad ClinkShrink lived through jury duty....she was sending out 'bored and starved' distress messages.
So Novalis comments on our posts sometimes and I've visited his blog: Ars Psychiatrica. I wanted to add it to our blogroll, but once Roy has been somewhere, it's usually pretty complicated and I wasn't sure I could add something without blowing Shrink Rap to bits.
Now Novalis has visited and commented at times. In my head, he's been a "she." Why? I don't know, but I had this image of a female psychiatrist. Maybe it's the long hair in his profile pic. It wasn't until I started reading his blog that I suddenly felt some need to know: What gender? I went to his profile view, and discovered a fair amount about him-- first off that he's a HE and that he's a community psychiatrist (I like them). The North Carolina part didn't surprise me.
Sometimes our readers tell us about themselves-- their careers, their reason for an interest in mental health, where they're from, and maybe their names or their photos give away their gender (hi to Zoe Brain across the globe whose blog tells of his he-to-she journey)...sometimes I can glean their age, sometimes people just tell us or put it on their profiles. A few we've met: TigerMom and Sophizo met us at a conference.
Is there something about the mystery of it? Someone wrote a guess about us in our comment section recently: I was described as a cookie-baking mom with glasses and my hair in a bun. I bake cookies a couple of times a year, wear contacts, not glasses, and have never once, not even for a single hour, worn my hair in a bun.d

Snake bites occur in many parts of the world, but generally speaking are more often witnessed in moderate-hot to tropical climate areas of the American, African, Asian, European and Australian continent. World Health Organization (WHO) even considers it as an important public health problem in rural areas around the world. Their recent study showed that at least 421,000 cases of envenoming and 20,000 deaths occur round the globe each year, with the highest frequency evident in Southeast Asia, South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
There are so many cases when poor access both to health services and first-aid medical treatment lead to fatal result with victim. But one thing that WHO states I find also very much interesting: they claim that only 50-70% of bites by a venomous species will actually cause envenoming. However if envenoming occurs, depending on the venom mixture in certain snake species, the different symptoms with a victim can occur. We all know, that vipers, rattle snakes, cobras and mambas are very lethal venomous snakes, but there are number of other venomous species that we haven't heard of. For me it was surprising for example that in Australia there is even a poisonous sea snake. Anyway, if you have a bad luck and encounter a venomous snake which bites you, below you will find a short list of venom types and typical damage they make to our bodies:
- Haemorrhagins disturb the integrity of blood vessels and cause of blood volume loss
- Cytotoxins cause local swelling and tissue damage
- Neurotoxins cause neurotoxicity (e.g. delusions, headache, cognitive and behavioral problems, loss of memory and/or vision)
- Myotoxins cause muscle breakdown
- Toxins leading to incoagulable blood.
Now let's get to the most important part of the text: the list of TO-DOs if ever bitten by some nasty snake:
DOs if bitten by a snake:
- First rule is to get on a safe place. Get away from a snake, as it may bite you again. Remember, a snake bite occurs because these reptiles feel endangered by a human in the first place. If a snake bites you once, that doesn't imply it will feel safe afterwards and won't attack you again.
- Get medical help (call 911 or applicable alternative) immediately. You shouldn't wait to feel the pain, since at that point, permanent tissue damage can already occur. Try to remain calm and don't forget that most snake bites are not fatal. If the area of the bite begins to swell and change color, the snake was probably poisonous.
- Remove constricting clothing pieces and jewelry from the bitten extremity. The area may swell and constricting items will cause tissue death. If you are bitten on the arm or finger remove any rings, bracelets or watches. Loosen any tight clothing in case swelling occurs. Make a loose splint, or use a sling on the bitten limb to help restrict movement of that area.
- Try to immobilize the affected limb while waiting for the prompt transfer to a medical facility. Pressure immobilization is used for some snake species such as cobras and mambas. What you need to do is to wrap the bitten extremity with an elastic pressure bandage. Start from the point closest to the heart and wrap towards the fingers or toes. Make sure you don't restrict chest movement with immobilization, as breathing will be affected by this.
- Minimize body movement and do not elevate. This is required in order to keep the affected area below heart level and to reduce the flow of venom through the body. On the other hand, holding the bitten part lower than the rest of body level can increase swelling.
- Monitor the bitten person's vital signs -- temperature, pulse, rate of breathing, and blood pressure -- if possible. If there are signs of shock (e.g. paleness), lay the person flat with feet raised about a foot, and cover the person with a blanket.
- When possible arrange for transport to the nearest hospital emergency room, where appropriate anti-venom for snakes can be given if required. Anti-venoms are manufactured by immunizing horse or sheep with venom from a particular species and then processing the serum from the animal. In addition to anti-venom therapy, management of snakebite also includes supportive therapy, such as ventilation for respiratory paralysis, which is often lifesaving for victims bitten by species which cause severe neurotoxicity.
There are few ways you can help medical staff identify as fast as possible the appropriate anti-venom that should be administered ASAP:
- If the snake is dead, you can bring it to the hospital. But be careful, since dead snakes can reflexively bite for up to an hour.
- Medical stuff in areas prone to snake bites can often identify the animal straight from the wound appearance. For example, pit vipers have two fangs and the bite often has two small holes.
- You can take a picture of snake with your camera or a cell-phone. It can help medical staff identify the snake that bit you.
The right anti-venom can save a person's life. Getting to an emergency room as quickly as possible is very important. If properly treated, many snake bites will not have serious effects. Below, you'll see a list of things you shouldn't be doing when such accident occurs.
- DON'T allow the bitten person to become over-exerted, and if necessary, carry the person to safety.
- DON'T apply a tourniquet. There are cases reported when due to applied tourniquet, the victim that has finally reached appropriate medical facilities had their limb being amputated. The use of a compression bandage is generally as effective, and much safer.
- DON'T apply cold compress or ice to a snake bite.
- DON'T cut into a snake bite with a knife or razor. Cutting into the wound will most likely just create additional infections.
- DON'T try to suck out the venom by mouth. This presents a risk of further poisoning to the person doing this through the mouth's mucous tissues. In addition to this risk, the release of bacteria from the person's mouth into the victim's wound can lead to infection.
- DON'T take pain relievers, aspirins or similar medications, unless a doctor tells you to do so.
- DON'T give the person anything by mouth.
- DON'T raise the site of the bite above the level of the person's heart. It can cause venom to travel into the body. Holding it down, can on the other hand increase swelling.
- DON'T wash the snake bite area, as the traces of venom left on the skin from the strike can be used in combination with other options to identify the species of snake. This speeds determination of which anti-venom to administer.
Additionally, here we outline few useful tips on how to prevention a snake bit.
Remember, as usual, prevention is the best option:
- Avoid walking around areas where snakes may be hiding, such as under rocks, logs and tall brush.
- Many snakes are not poisonous, but anyway avoid picking up or playing with snake you encounter.
- If you hike often, consider buying a snake bite kit.
- When walking in nature, use a walking stick and tap ahead of before entering an area where you can't see your feet. Snakes will try to avoid you if given enough warning.
- If you encounter a snake in nature, try not to provoke it. Remember, they bite humans only to defend themselves.
- Wear proper clothing when hiking in an area known to be snake habitat. Long pants and boots taller than the ankle should do the job.
- Make plenty of noise and vibration while walking - make snakes aware of your presence on time.
Hopefully, these tips all together will help prevent a case of being bitten by a snake. However if this happens to you, or someone next to you, now you know which steps to follow in order to help yourself and not to make things even worse.
Finally, in United States you can also consider calling the National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222). This national hotline number will let you talk to experts who can give you further instructions if you had an accident. Their service is free and confidential. Call center works 24/7.

NFL Draft > 2008 Prospects > OL > Jake Long
Jake Long Scouting Report
|Michigan Wolverines
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'7 - 315 lbs.
2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Jake Long, OL, Michigan
Jake Long of Michigan, despite a poor showing in the season finale against Ohio State, is without a doubt the top offensive lineman in this year's draft. Long is the centerpiece of an offensive line that has led Michigan to a 164.9 yard a game rushing average as a team. Besides being an absolutely mammoth tackle at 6'7" and 315 lbs., Long possesses elite speed and footwork for an offensive lineman. The Michigan O-line has allowed just 28 sacks under his leadership in 13 games this season, even though their quarterbacks are not exactly fleet of foot. According to ESPN, Long himself was only beaten for a sack once this season by Vernon Gholston of Ohio State. In fact, Long has only allowed 2 sacks during his career and been flagged for just 2 penalties. Jake Long is probably best known for his excellent pass blocking, but don't mistake Long for a finesse tackle. As good as people believe he is, his run blocking may still be underrated. He blocks with a real mean streak. Long does a terrific job of taking on (and running over) a D-lineman and moving into the next level to flatten a linebacker as well. Michigan is averaging 4.0 yards per carry this season and tends to find those tough yards behind Long on the left side. This 2 time All Big Ten performer is experienced on both the left and right side of the line, making a versatile option for an NFL team. Jake Long's years of experience blocking top notch Big Ten ends will serve him well in his professional career. Long should find himself a new home no later than the fifth pick of this year's draft. Jake Long was always a top five pick, but after the NFL Combine, Miami has to strongly consider him at the number one spot. Long is not only huge, but his 37 reps on the bench press show that he has the upper body strength to block even the best NFL ends. Scouts were very happy to learn that Jake Long has excellent arm length for the tackle position -- a key to his pass blocking success. Miami, St. Louis, Atlanta, Oakland and Kansas City could all use a left tackle either immediately or for the near future. Jake Long will go to one of those five teams and protect their quarterback's blind side for the next decade. Jake Long, once again, looked outstanding in position drills at Michigan's pro day. The monstrous left tackle continues to impress scouts every time he preforms. The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Long also scored a 26 on his Wonderlic test, which is well above average. Jake Long continues to ascend draft boards and should be off the board in the top three picks in 2008.

If there's one reason BlackBerrys have struggled with the transition to a full touchscreen life it's been the interface. As the competition will attest, getting a phone to feel right when you're using only a screen to interact with it is quite tricky, but finally BlackBerry has mostly got the hang of it.
The BlackBerry 9860's interface, which is part of BlackBerry OS7, will look very familiar to regular BlackBerry users with the home screen split up into four distinct sections. Up top is the status bar with information such as the time, date, signal strength, battery life, and network. Tap this and you get a set of options for connecting to a Wi-Fi network, turning on Bluetooth, turning your mobile network connection on/off and setting an alarm, or you can jump to the full settings menus.
Back on the homescreen, below the status bar is the notifications area flanked by icons for volume control and search. The latter two can be tapped to access the phone's extensive sound profiles (silent, loud, vibrate only, etc) and the phone's system-wide search feature. This will look up apps, contacts and messages, and once you've setup a web search, it will perform a normal web search.
Yes, unlike the vast majority of smartphones, you must manually input search providers. And when we say manually, we mean it – you literally have to type in the exact URL that will perform the search. While this is finicky, it does mean you can easily add all sorts of different search engines, like our own (just add http://www.trustedreviews.com/search/reviews?q=%s as a search engine). Sadly, while you can choose which search engine to use on a search by search basis in the web browser, if you use the desktop search tool, it only uses the one you last used in the browser.
As for the notifications area, this will show that you have new messages from email, text, Facebook and Twitter as well as notify you of apps for which an update is available. Tap this section and all your notifications are shown in list form along with the date they arrived and the subject. It's a good system for keeping up to date with all your goings on, especially as the signature BlackBerry notification LED will flash whenever a new notification arrives. However, the fact that you have to close an app and return to the homescreen to check your notifications means it's a little more cumbersome than the drop-down notifications sported by Android and now iPhone.
The final two sections are the blank middle part – all the better for showing your choice of wallpaper – and the apps launcher. The latter of which can either be zero, one, two or three lines tall by default then expanded to fill the screen by tapping its top edge or swiping upwards. Within the app launcher you can arrange apps as you please, including putting them into folders, though you can't just drag one app on top of another to create a new folder – one iPhone feature we really like. As well as showing 'All Apps', there are also five other columns (Favourites, Media, Downloads, Frequent) that you can place apps into for keeping things organised. You can't, however, create your own columns.
Fans of widgets will be disappointed that the 9860 doesn't support these mini apps, so you can't fill your homescreens with them. With the ability to hide the app launcher, it's a shame to have no way to fill the otherwise empty space left behind with useful or distracting tools.
Menus can be quite stark and complicated.
Step into various apps and start setting the phone up and for the most part things are easy to work out and use. However, there is a slightly stark style to many apps and menus, and particularly the Settings and Setup menus can leave you scratching your head. Once you've spent some time with the handset you realise there's a lot of method to the madness and it's actually a quite powerful and easy to use system – you've just got to learn its quirks.
That said, it's still not as slick as it should be and it does trail Android, iOS and Windows Phone. Hopefully subsequent updates will tidy these issues up.

If you're going to compare benchmarks on new phones I think you should use the latest available OS versions. It's only fair.
The SunSpider and BrowserMark scores you posted for the iPhone 4 are not the current ones for iOS 5, e.g. the latest SunSpider is about 3593.
Source: http://gigaom.com/apple/benchmarking-the-ios-5-update/
The BB Torch 9860 is the fifth smartphone I have used. It is by far the worst. I have previously had iPhones and Samsung as well as BB Bold.
The loading time is pathetic and the lack of options the OS offers is frustrating to say the least. BB tout as a business tool but they refuse to allow call recording and browsing is too technical. As a sales manager I need my phone to be fast and the calls clear. This phone fails on both counts and don't get me started on the keypad. BB have a long way to go if they wish to dominate the business phone market.

Qatar plans unaffected by FIFA move: organizers
DOHA (Reuters) - FIFA's delay in making a decision on the dates for the 2022 Qatar World Cup will not affect the country's plans for the tournament, a senior official told Reuters on Friday.
Earlier, FIFA president Sepp Blatter announced that soccer's governing body would set up a consultation process to decide whether the finals should be held in the burning hot summer months or moved to the winter.
Blatter added the organization hoped to reach a decision after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and by 2015 at the latest, and admitted he personally took too long to appreciate the problems posed by Qatar's scorching heat.
The lack of a resolution to the problem has not affected Qatar officials who said their preparations, which include plans to use cooling technology in stadiums, training areas and fan zones, were unaltered.
"For us it doesn't really affect our planning," the organizing committee's communications and marketing director Nasser Al-Khater said in an interview during which he denied the lack of a decision was a frustrating setback.
"Our delivery is based on a summer World Cup in 2022. Regardless of the date, we're going to be delivering and be ready.
"Our cooling technology, which has always been in the plan, which is a major legacy project, will still go ahead," added Al-Khater. "It's not just a legacy for Qatar, it's a legacy for different countries on the globe that have a similar climate.
"For them to be able to utilize this cooling technology for mega events whether that be sporting events or other type of events, I think is a great legacy to give to the world.
"We'll be happy for the tournament to be held in winter, summer, as long as the international football community has a consensus, as long as they are all happy and in agreement, we'll be happy to host it on whichever desired date," said Al-Khater. Continued...

I don't have much insightful information about bass fishing to offer today. I've been sick for a couple of weeks and really haven't done much of anything, at least not anything useful.
My sinus infection hasn't gotten any better since Thanksgiving, despite going to a couple of different doctors. The darn thing just keeps hanging on. It saps every bit of energy out of you and makes it almost impossible to work. I don't know why it won't go away but it won't. Does anybody know of a good home remedy, or maybe a witchdoctor practicing somewhere around my neighborhood? If you do, don't be shy.
On top of taking all of your energy, it's caused a ringing in my ears. I can't hear a thing except for that. It's driving me crazy. Then, I caught a cold from Becky last week when we came back from Florida.
You guys may not know about it but several of the wives got together and decided to run from Miami to Key West to show their support for us. It was pretty neat, really. They each took turns running a leg. It started about 6 a.m. on Friday (January 6) and ended in the late afternoon on Saturday (January 7).
Vegas and I had T-shirts printed that said we were Becky's official water boys. We met her at various points along the way to give her encouragement and, of course, water.
They just did it for fun this year but they're thinking about making it a charity run next year. They could raise money from sponsors and donations and then give it to a charity of some sort. That would be nice. They could show their support for us and help the less fortunate at the same time.
In a future column, I'll give you all the names of the ladies involved but I'm still working on that. Three of the wives had friends running. I don't know their last names. I don't want to leave anyone out or misspell their name. If they were nice enough to participate, I want to be nice enough to accurately recognize them.
Once I start feeling better, I'll be getting ready for the Classic. I need to look over my maps and notes from the other times I've fished the Red River out of Shreveport so I have a reasonable game plan when I get there.
The Classic is a very compressed event. There's only four days of practice, and they're broken up by all the festivities so it's hard to put a serious pattern together. You have to do the best you can and then hope you make good decisions on the water. That requires knowledge of the fishery. You only get that with preparation. There are no shortcuts.
That'll do for now. Next week — if I'm feeling better — I'll give you some of my thoughts about what it'll take to win the Classic as well as a few things to watch for while you're following the action.
