Goodbye RFTs. Hello New Shoes
I said ciao to the Pirelli RFTs after a dismal 11K miles performance for $ 2,200. Installed new Continental Extreme Contact 19" for $ 1,200 at Discount Tire. Added a ContiComfort Kit from Tirerack.com.
What a difference in ride! I should have done it a long time ago, and saved thousands in the process.
If only I could find a slim emergency tire, it would be awesome.
Glad to hear you like the the Contis. I'm about to do the same with my '09 F02. Can't wait to have a better handling car and a quieter one.
As they say, I'm lovin' it.
I drank the cool aid about a month ago when I ditched the runflats for blizzaks. Even a snow non run flat created a shocking difference in the ride quality. I did not really love my 740(my first BMW ever) but after getting non run flats I LOVE the car. BMW needs to offer the option. Please follow up if any one has a good option for a spare. I have the slime kit but it apparently kills TPMS
BMW needs to offer real spare tires. Then no one would need to mess with RFT or the useless BMW Mobility Kits.
I slim spare tire package would be a superior alternative. Although it will eat up space in the already small trunk, it is a much better and safer alternative to an inflation kit.
Another convert to the Conti's

Just got the car back from Discount Tire with new Continental Extreme Contact DW's. What a difference! The care is quieter, smoother, handles better and is like driving a new car.
I did get the Conti tire kit, just in case, but boy am I glad this 750li no longer has the run-flats!
P.S. I LOVE your Vette. :beerchug:
Doesn't your SUV have real spares (which all cars should)? A run flat can at least get you to a tire store or bimmer dealer, but a 'mobility kit' is pretty good for remaining stuck at the side of the road.
Thanks for the compliment on the Vette. If the nice weather keeps up, I am going to let it stretch it's legs tomorrow.
Off topic, but is your Vette a full, stock restore? Looking for a project to do a restore/mod type with the father-in-law and the Vette is high on the list. I'd like to do something with an original body, but drop in an LS7 with modern underpinnings. Thoughts?
That is pretty much what I did. I installed a ZZ502, Vette Brake Products racing suspension, Keisler 5 speed, big brakes from a C4 vette. I went with a true big block rather then a bored out LS. There is nothing like opening the hood and seeing this monster. I wish I'd gone a few more grand and went for the ZZ572!
As a first time BMW owner who bought a car off the lot with run flats, I wonder if there is an option for non run flats and a spare. If not, why not? It is clear to me since I swapped out to non run flats that there is a big problem around these boards. Most agree that run flats are bad for the drive in every way. Between vibration, noise and the degraded ride one would think that the makers of the greatest driving machine would reconsider ditching a part of the car that ruins it. I personally love my car with it's non run flats but when I get around to buying my next car I will not consider an auto with run flats. I would go back to Mercedes or Audi just for that. This really is a deal breaker and I'm shocked that BMW has not figured it out.
I've written this in a few threads: I have run flat snow tires on and aside from a slightly harder ride, the car handles great, and I don't hold my breath every time I hit a pot hole.That being said, it is beyond me why so many high end car maufacturers are no longer supplying spare tires. It is a safety issue for many. Being stuck on the side of the road for hours is simply dangerous. Aside from getting hit by some moron who is cruisng the shoulder, you are totally exposed to any creatin looking foir trouble. I am considering buying a spare and jack, and when I am on a trip where I need luggae room getting a room carrier.
Find a slim spare and a cargo net to secure it and u will be just fine i did this with my 335 coupe made a huge difference. Same issue in the 3 series forums people hate the rft's, they are loud, ride hard and get damaged easily. Oh did i forget hella expensive, who needs a bmw tire plan for $1200 they sure did figure outnanother way to add safety and lace their pockets at the same time. A good spare tire in the trunk has always worked for many years, c'mon BMW lets not fix what isnt broken.
Hi I am new here. Does trading for non run flats alter the reading of electronics in any way? Have had 2 BMs but haven't had the guts to try non RFT. It's just that I can't imagine myself being stuck with a flat tyre and there's no spare...
No problems at all by not having RFT's. The electronics all work the same.
New Wheels
1 Attachment(s)
Got the new tires about a month ago, couldn't figure out why the balancing was never quite right. It turns out the RFT's that were on the car had bent three out of four wheels. Now I've got new wheels!
Add me to the list of converts who have ditched the RFTs (along with the stock 18s). I got a set of Modulare Forged M13s in 20" with Conti Extremecontact DWs, and the ride could not be better. It's like having a whole new car! As for emergencies, I have one of the 18s in the trunk with a wrench and inexpensive jack. It works for me because I don't use my trunk very often. I only wish BMW would catch on to the unpopularity of the RFTs, although I suspect many of their customers wouldn't know the difference in ride quality if it bit them in the you-know-where!
Sounds like you can add regular tires on run flat rims. Pardon my ignorance. I searched for it and some said you can't. I just bought a 750li with run flats. Declined the tires insurance thinking that, if I get a flat, I will just buy a pair of Continentals DWS.

Eagles Worked Out Stanford Tight End Zach ErtzBREAKING NEWS, Eagles, News, Tight Ends Monday, April 1st, 2013
Eagles head Chip Kelly couldn't stop talking about the New England Patriots utilization of their tight ends. You could see that he was enamored with Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Fernandez, who present matchup problems for the defense. He likes the idea of having big receivers, who can run and make plays in the red zone because that's how you score points.
Kelly has said that he wants to get bigger as a football team and that big guys beat up little guys.
This is one of the reasons I think the report that the Birds had tight ends coach Ted Williams working out Stanford tight end Zach Ertz last week is significant.
He's a matchup nightmare at 6'5″ 249 pounds. He's got a great set of hands and he's had success in the red zone. He caught 69 passes for 898 yards in 2012. He caught six touchdowns while averaging 13 yards a catch.
Kelly has already added a tight end/H-back in James Casey to the offense, but I wouldn't be surprised at all, if the Birds drafted another tight end to work with Brent Celek and Casey. I'm not sure how they feel about the Birds backup tight end Clay Harbor.
Again, Kelly seems to want to have a size advantage with his receivers when he's throwing the football. It makes sense when to take account of how the referees call the NFL game. A big receiver has a tremendous advantage because of pass interference penalties.
Maybe we'll have more success getting the ball in the end zone when we get in the area from now on.

oh boy, here we go again :)
I think it's fairly safe to say that no one else is working on this
right now. There have been several discussions about adding additional
functions (including squid, I believe) to m0n0wall. Most are met with
stiff resistance, since Manuel (and others) feels very strongly that a
firewall is a firewall is a firewall. Not to mention that m0n0wall is
designed to run on an embedded device.
That's not to say that no one will be interested if you go through with
it. There are lots of us running on generic PCs with plenty of memory
and disk space who would love to test this for you.

I'm having a problem and I think somewhere it might be with resend. If I send a message with French characters with moderate=no or with the approved:passwd option, the message is sent to the receipients with the Frech characters intact. If I change moderate=yes, it gets bounced to the moderator and the characters get screwed up. Little example, "Le Programme des services de d=E9p=F4t (PSD) fera partie de la nouvelle = direction g=E9n=E9rale des Services" should be "Le Programme des services de dépôt (PSD) fera partie de la nouvelle direction générale des Services".

text: ViryaNet Limited (VRYAF), a leading provider of software solutions that optimize the planning, execution, and monitoring of service processes for mobile workforces, announced today that Vectren Energy Delivery has expanded use of the ViryaNet mobile workforce management solution to its Construction, Maintenance and Compliance (CMC) group. Vectren seeks to optimize all available work teams, regardless of work type or work duration and to improve the dispatch, scheduling, and management of field work orders. The ViryaNet solution can handle both short-cycle service work and longer, more complex work types. With ViryaNet's technology, Vectren can right-size the work, getting the right crews to the right work at the right time. In addition, field technicians from Vectren's Meter Order Management (MOM) group are leveraged, crossing over to the CMC group. Just two months after launch, Vectren is already seeing improvements in its short-duration compliance work. Expanding the use of ViryaNet's mobile workforce management solution to Vectren's CMC group means scheduling 500 field technicians with 80% of work order volume now scheduled automatically – a huge relief for Vectren's dispatchers. "We're right-sizing work for our CMC crews which is the same kind of success we saw with ViryaNet's solution for our MOM group," said Jon Luttrell, Vice President, Information Technology and Customer Service, Vectren Corporation, "We're always evaluating and quantifying what we do. We have a lot of history with ViryaNet's technology and understand its ability to drive efficiencies. Initial results are favorable as expected and indicate we can achieve our anticipated efficiency improvements." For Vectren, this project begins a 3-phased approach to consolidate its mobile environments, specifically around the scheduling, delivery and completion of complex work types. "ViryaNet continuously focuses on enabling our customers to realize more business value," said Memy Ish-Shalom, President and Chief Executive Officer, ViryaNet, "With ViryaNet's technology and through an ongoing performance measurement practice and methodology, Vectren has been able to improve efficiency and reduce costs for its service organization. We look forward to Vectren's continued success with the ViryaNet solution."

La Crosse, WI --- The flood waters are gone. You registered with the Red Cross, notified local officials of your damage and even reported to the county emergency manager. You're all set, right?
Maybe not say, say state and federal disaster officials.
"The Red Cross and other volunteer and local agencies do fine work, but they can't register disaster victims for federal assistance," said Al Shanks, of Wisconsin Emergency Management, who heads the state side of the recovery effort.
"Registering for federal disaster aid is easy," said Tom Davies, of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) "All it takes is one telephone call, but if you haven't called our teleregistration line, you aren't registered for FEMA assistance."
Davies, as FEMA federal coordinating officer for the Wisconsin disaster, heads the FEMA side of the recovery effort.
"The call is free. FEMA operators will guide applicants through the process," Davies said. "Just call 800-462-9029, 8 a.m. through 6 p.m., seven days a week. The special line for the hearing impaired is 800-462-7585."
"Help is available, but we have to know who needs it," Shanks said. "The only way to register is to call the FEMA 800 line. If you're not sure you're registered, call and check."

On a day littered with reasons for excitement -- the Crisler Center re-dedication ceremony, along with recognizing several former Michigan basketball greats from Cazzie Russell to Glen Rice -- the fourth ranked Wolverines didn't give the fans in attendance much of a reason to get loud in a lackluster 79-71 win over a Penn State team that drops to 0-and-13 in the Big Ten.
But just like a honey badger, John Beilein doesn't care.
"Last week was such a difficult week for our kids just to try to bounce back," said Beilein afterward. "And we just needed to win any way possible -- one point, two points, 33 points -- it didn't make a difference. We just needed a 'W', and to do it the way we did I think is a silver lining."
After having their pride handed to them in jar by Michigan State Tuesday night, the Wolverines took to the practice court with a different chip on their shoulder -- looking to get tougher. For Beilein and his coaching staff, the line between critical and encouraging is one to be flirted with carefully.
"If this is the 80th practice and you're still not talking on defense, then you have to get after them," said Beilein. "We pride ourselves on being teachers, but there are some moments these last couple weeks where we just say, 'Enough is enough. We're going to do this cause you won't do that.'
"It's that area where you don't want to get them so they lose their confidence, but at the same time, getting tougher, right now, through all these things is important for us."
Michigan's defense, specifically against pick and roll action, left a lot to be desired, as center Jordan Morgan continues working to return to his old self physically, not yet capable of moving well enough laterally on the perimeter after suffering an ankle sprain at Illinois on January 27th. Using up just 15 fouls Sunday to Penn State's 25, Beilein believes the Wolverines could stand to make the opposition feel a little more pain too.
"That was really a major emphasis of just everybody getting in the stance, realizing this is big boy basketball," said Beilein. "You're going to get hit, you're going to get shoved a little bit – people are going to wall you up. And you still have to play through it.
"And defensively, we need to do that as well. We had a couple guys averaging one foul a game. That's either superior defense or -- when you lose a game like we lost to Michigan State and we've got guys with one foul? There's more in you, you've got to give us more."
Beilein and the Wolverines now have a full week to prepare for Illinois next Sunday at 1pm from Crisler Center, but not before they take Monday and Thursday off, sprinkling in a little "mini camp" on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Injury Notes
After the game, Beilein updated the status of freshman Caris LeVert and junior Jordan Morgan, both suffering from ankle sprains.
"Caris couldn't go back in after it tightened up on him so it's important -- it's good to have depth there," said Beilein. "I thought Matt (Vogrich) gave us some good minutes."
"We had no idea that Jordan Morgan would take this long. He wants to play. He's insistent on playing. He's insistent on coming to practice. But when you watch him move out there -- it's not happening. He's delayed."

Students Join Scientists at the South Pole via the Web
BOULDER -- Thanks to a scientist from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), students from around the world can join in the excitement of a six-week field study at the South Pole's new Clean Air Facility. Lee Mauldin, a scientist from NCAR's headquarters in Boulder, Colorado, is one of four staff stationed at the Pole through mid- December for the Investigation of Sulfur Chemistry in the Antarctic Troposphere (ISCAT). While there, Lee is maintaining a Web site with frequent updates and kid-friendly language explaining the science, geography, and logistics behind a South Pole expedition. The site is at
ISCAT is supported by the National Science Foundation, NCAR's primary sponsor.
"To me it's a neat thing just to be able to go [to the Pole]," says Mauldin. He envisions the Web site as a "virtual field trip." The site includes digital-camera photos and a link to Mauldin's electronic mailbox. "Hopefully we can get some input from schools and answer their questions by e-mail," he says. He has already heard from Navajo students in New Mexico who are following his project through the Web. Mauldin plans a similar Web project next spring while he is in the South Pacific for a tropical field experiment. That site will be accessible from the Web page for NCAR's Atmospheric Chemistry Division, http://www.acd.ucar.edu.
The goal of ISCAT is to study sulfate chemistry at the Pole, a site with few human influences on atmospheric chemistry and no local sources of dimethyl sulfide or sulfur dioxide, the two primary sources of airborne sulfur. Air routinely sinks from higher altitudes to ground level at the Pole. With its elevation of nearly two miles (three kilometers), air quality is comparable to that found elsewhere well above ground level. Joining Lee on the experiment are NCAR coinvestigator Fred Eisele, scientist Dave Tanner, and technician Ed Kosciuch. NCAR's team will accompany researchers and instruments from Drexel University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the Universities of Minnesota, New Mexico, and California, Irvine.
This fall's field work is the first of two rounds scheduled for the four-year ISCAT program. The second field phase will take place in the fall of 2000 and will be keyed to answering questions that arise from this year's sampling. Years two and four will be devoted to data analysis.
The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, a consortium of more than 60 universities offering Ph.D.s in atmospheric and related sciences, manages NCAR.

The Chinese government is "seriously investigating" Japan's claim a car carrying its ambassador in Beijing was attacked and its national flag ripped off, an incident which threatens to inflame the countries' already fragile diplomatic relationship.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda said yesterday that he would write to Chinese President
The dispute flared up recently after some Chinese activists were arrested when they landed on the Japanese-administered Senkaku islands, known as the Diaoyu in China. The activists were sent to Hong Kong and are now threatening to sue Japan.
Meanwhile, the Japanese government has knocked back a request to send a team of surveyors to the islands, which would have further inflamed the situation. Tokyo's governor Shintaro Ishihara floated a plan earlier this year to raise funds and buy back the islands from their private owners to strengthen Japan's claim.
The dispute over the islands has triggered a wave of anti-Japan protests across China, including the alleged attack on the Japanese envoy's car on Monday afternoon.
The Japanese embassy said the car carrying Uichiro Niwa and his wife was stopped in traffic and its flag was snatched. Though no passengers were hurt, Tokyo has demanded a criminal investigation into the case.
The latest incident follows a visit by one of China's most senior military officials to the United States last week, during which he stated the country's opposition to any outside interference.
Lieutenant-General Cai Yinting, from the People's Liberation Army, told reporters the islands did not fall within the scope of the US-Japan security treaty.
The US and Japan have just begun a month-long military drill, which although long-planned, has been heavily criticised in China for aggravating an already tense situation.
The Senkaku islands were formally annexed by Japan in 1895 and the US took control of them after World War II, returning them to Tokyo in 1972. However, Beijing says they were never America's to return and have been part of China since the mid-16th century.
Diplomatic ties between China and Japan reached a low point in 2010 when a Chinese fishing boat collided with the Japanese coast guard, resulting in people being arrested. In recent months, China has stepped up its territorial claims in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.
This week, Beijing said it had started to build infrastructure, including sewerage and waste collection facilities, in its new municipality of Sansha, on tiny Yongxing island.
The controversial city has a population of about 1000 people and was set up to administer a group of disputed islands in the South China Sea.

Philson, known as "Peanut" to many, was a key member of the Creighton University men's soccer team that laid the foundation for success that continues to this day.Arriving in 1990 to help restart the men's soccer program, Philson was part of a freshman class that ranks as one of the best in college history. By the time that group graduated four years later, they had played in two NCAA Tournaments, achieved a number one national ranking and won a pair of Missouri Valley Conference championships.Philson's speed and athletic ability were his trademarks as he started 70 of 75 career games while earning all_MVC accolades in 1992 and 1993. A two-time All-Midwest Region selection, Philson was honored as the MVC Defensive Player of the Year in his senior year. In Philson's four-year career, the Bluejays posted a record of 57-14-6 while losing just one regular season game in MVC play.In addition to his performance on the field, Philson was a fixture when it came time for CU student-athletes to visit elementary schools. He frequently led the children in song while stressing the importance of a positive attitude and the belief that anyone, regardless of circumstances, could accomplish anything.After earning his bachelor of arts degree in May 1994, Philson stayed on as an assistant coach with the Bluejay men's soccer team until he was named head coach of the Creighton women's program in July 1995. In four seasons as women's head coach, Philson's teams went 38-32-3. Today, Philson is a professional healthcare representative with Pfizer Inc.For his inspiring contributions to the Creighton men's soccer program, the Creighton Athletic Hall of Fame Committee is proud to induct Ira L. "Peanut" Philson into the Creighton University Athletic Hall of Fame.Kelly Brookhart Prokupek, BS'93As a dominant left-handed pitcher and hitter, Kelly Jo Brookhart Prokupek was an outstanding softball athlete during her four years at Creighton University. Her tenacity and leadership were hallmarks of her success on and off the field. Kelly thrived on competition. This was best exemplified when she pitched - in 12 hours - 58 1/3 innings, picking up the win in the longest game in NCAA history when the Bluejays won 1-0 in a 31-inning battle with Utah.Under Kelly's leadership, the Creighton softball team won two conference championships and participated in three NCAA Regionals. Kelly holds several Bluejay career marks including games played (239), wins (71), pitching appearances (122) and starts (102). A two-time, second-team All-American honoree, she holds the school record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched at 81 (seventh longest streak in NCAA history). Kelly was a two-time High Country Tournament Most Valuable Player, and she ranks in the top 10 in nearly every Bluejay career mark for both hitting and pitching.Today, Kelly is married and the mother of three young children. She has inspired women softball players through her coaching activities at Creighton, Dana College and Iowa Western Community College. She also assists at numerous camps and clinics as she loves working with kids, developing a great rapport with them. For her contributions to the Creighton softball program, Creighton's Athletic Hall of Fame Committee is proud to induct Kelly Jo Brookhart Prokupek into the Creighton University Athletic Hall of Fame.Scott D. Servais, ARTS '88From his first day on the Creighton campus, Scott Servais had a tremendous impact on Creighton baseball, the Athletic Department and Creighton University. Scott brought instant credibility to the Creighton baseball program through his outstanding record. In 1985, as a high school senior, he was a second-round draft pick of the New York Mets (42nd overall), a member of the National Sports Festival Team and a USA Junior Team member at the World Championships. While playing for Creighton, Scott was in the international spotlight as a member of the U.S. Olympic Team that won the Gold Medal in 1988. He also was a member of the USA Senior Team at the World Championships, the USA Pan American Team and the USA Intercontinental Cup Team in Cuba.Scott ranks in the Creighton Top 10 for homers with 27. Off the field he scored high in the classroom, earning the 1988 Reinert Award for being the top male student athlete based on grades. He also was inducted into Alpha Sigma Nu, the National Jesuit Honor Society.Scott went on to play professionally with the Houston Astros, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants and the Colorado Rockies. He now works in the Chicago Cubs organization. His colleagues say he is the ultimate professional and a man of great character. A devoted family man, he and his wife, Jill, have three children. Scott volunteers his free time for a number of organizations, clearly reflecting the Creighton credo of serving others. For his remarkable contributions to the Creighton men's baseball program, the Creighton Athletic Hall of Fame Committee is proud to induct Scott D. Servais into the Creighton University Athletic Hall of Fame.

Sorry for that. So i can only guess what you mean. Do you want to know if the user has the focus on a specific stage?
Then you go
Hope this was the one you look for, greetings.

We thought it would be a good change of pace to break up the Vital 20s with a non pro. A non pro 'boarder that is, 'cause Tim Zimmerman is a consummate professional, and one of the greatest, most celebrated snowboard photographers this sport has seen. Zimm spent the lion's share of the last year, and many years prior, with Travis Rice and his co-conspirators as they fired off some of the heaviest moves to date filming for the acclaimed Brain Farm Productions film, That's It That's All.
If you get a couple minutes you should check out a video Interview with Zimmerman that is up on Quiksilver's www.themountainandthewave.com. In the two part interview hosted by certified babe, and former photograpy student, Sarah; Zimm goes behind the scenes of some of his favorite, and most impressive shots from the last year spent in Jackson Hole and beyond with the TITA crew. Yeah Tim. Hi Sarah.
—Evan LeFebvre.
Stance: Democrat with centrist leanings. Wait, I'm goofy.
Sponsors: Visa, Mastercard, and Bank of America.
Hometown: DuBois, Pennsylvania.
Home mountain: Holiday Valley, Ellicotville, NY.
Setup: Lib-Tech Skate Banana, DC Allegiance Boots, and Burton P1 Bindings.
Special tuning: I detune my boards quite a bit and tend to set my stance back a little bit so my 30-lb camera pack doesn't make me starfish in the powder. I like binding with zero forward lean or really pliable highbacks as well. Again, the heavy-ass bag can really dig into your calves, having pipe style forward lean leads to pain.
Tricks: I like a good forwards to backwards every once in a while. Sometimes I'll do a helicopter and even touch my snowboard in the air—I get wild.
Or not. Mostly I use my stay-warm-and-exercise-my-index-finger maneuver with my camera. Sometimes I turn dials, other times I flip switches. It depends on the day really.
Off the slopes I can get pretty wild with computer backups. I working on this one handed command+shift+option+apple+P thing that'd blow your mind. I'm thinking about unleashing it in the media tent at the X Games this year. Newspaper guys all around the world will be biting my style shortly.
Terrain: I'm stoked on anything I can ride my snowmobile to and that's usually powder. Leaving your camera pack in the helicopter usually leads you to awesome terrain as well. Not having a midget attached to your back can really sway the way you view the terrain you're riding on a snowboard. Nothing beats Forest Trail runs with Bridges either.
Food: I just made a New Year's resolution not to eat anything fried for a year. I've just removed the base of my own personal food pyramid … I'm a road weary connoisseur of all edible items from 7-11s and truck stops all over the Western United States. If I'm not on the road you'll find me with an oatmeal smoothie and Dunkin Donuts coffee.
Drink: Tap water in the US is just fine, stop with the stupid plastic bottles already. Aside from that give me a Magic Hat #9 or a Stella Artois and I'm just fine. Ah, seriously, just give me a beer.
Hobbies: Riding bikes, all kinds, any weather, any terrain.
Heroes: My mother and father, inspired souls, Seth Butler.
Music: All kinds except new hip-hop. I mean, come on, popular hip-hop died in 1992. How many more songs can you write about your f'ing car wheels already?
Places to ride: Jackson Hole, Jackson Hole, Terrace and Jackson Hole.
People to ride with: Some days I like to ride with my friend, the iPod. Other days I like to ride with my friends. If those friends are from Jackson then it's even better. I like to ride with people who inspire me through their views about the mountains.
Places to party: Shooters bar in Wanaka, New Zealand or any place with rockin' karaoke.
People to party with: Huggy comes to mind—sing it brother, sing it. Outside of that there's nothing like a good headlock from "Hank" Landvik or a slap in the face from a sauced up Curt Morgan.
Best moment on a snowboard: How about 10 bagless powder laps with Cole Barash in Terrace? It's either that or the moment I unstrapped, still living, after making it down the "mountaineering" route once we were done shooting Pontoon with H2O heli guides in Alaska.
Best moment off a snowboard: Making my parents proud. Pulling G's in a berm. Getting a photo in focus.
Quote: "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." —Abraham Lincoln.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association offered its usual good news/bad news report on athletes' academic progress [1] on Wednesday.
To the satisfaction of President Mark Emmert and other association officials, the Academic Progress Rates for Division I athletes over all and for players in several historically underperforming sports – football, men's and women's basketball, and baseball – all continued to rise.
But the number of teams punished because they failed to achieve the minimum rate set by the association also rose sharply, in part because the NCAA increased that threshold to 930 from 900 this year. A total of 36 teams will be ineligible for postseason competition in 2014-15, up from 13 this year, and another 57 squads will face scholarship limitations or other penalties, up from 36.
The average Division I Academic Progress Rate, in which scores are calculated over a four-year period (in this case, 2008-12) based on retention, eligibility and graduation rates, rose one point to 974. The NCAA has now been tracking APR scores for a decade, and the overall average has risen from an initial 961 in 2003-4. One-thousand is a perfect score.

John Travolta takes Million Dollar Bill from fan
What Hollywood Believes – John Travolta
In speaking of his beliefs, John Travolta said, "When I was 21 years old, I found Scientology and that gave me a kind of sanity. The technology I found so brilliant, that that kind of put things in perspective for me. A film not doing well isn't a disaster—a plane crash is a disaster, you know what I mean?"
As far as what happens after death, Travolta explained, "I think that the body ends and you as a spirit go on. It's up to you what you are going to do. It could be [reincarnation] if that is what you chose to do. You want to get back into another body or if you just want to hang out, whatever you feel like."
When asked whether he believes in God, Travolta answered, "I think the whole idea of Scientology is to think for yourself . . . If you ask me personally, I think yes there's God. But each day through a lot of the studying that I do, I think I get to understand, possibly, what God is about but I don't think I fully get the picture yet."
After stating that he prays, though not regularly, Travolta was asked, "Who or what would you be praying to?" He replied, "To the yet-not-fully-understood God concept."
John Travolta, like the rest of us, doesn't fully get the picture yet. Who of us can say we completely understand God or even the mysteries of this life? The Bible says that "we see in a mirror dimly." There are many questions to which we haven't yet found adequate answers.
Despite this, surveys reveal that most people pray, even skeptics. A good dose of severe turbulence at 30,000 feet is enough to make any atheist backslide momentarily and request help from some Higher Being—even if it's just a one-word prayer uttered deep within the mind. The issue isn't whether we pray, but whether God answers our prayers.
God does answer prayer, but often not in a way most of us would want or even expect. Undoubtedly, most of our prayers are selfish, such as for health and wealth. For reasons only He knows, God sometimes says yes and sometimes says no. And sometimes He says, "Wait for a while."

American Capital Agency Corp. (Nasdaq: AGNC) announced on May 30, 2013, that will carry the vote on the 10-20 million shares of preferred stock forward to the June 28, 2013 meeting. The company charter requires a majority of votes and the company has not received enough votes from stockholders to determine the outcome. The company is soliciting investors to vote. If you wish to vote and have not been contacted by the company, you can contact Georgeson Inc. at 800-676-0194.
There are several upsides to voting yes on this option, for the preferred and common stock holder. Both will benefit over the long term and make a handsome return just as the housing market is improving.
Preferred shares will net the investor about 8 to 8 ½ % return guarantee. The company will have a large surge of capital to invest (between 10 and 20 million dollars) and while the housing market is improving, the ability to invest would provide a solid opportunity to capture an excellent rate of return on the capital.
This return on capital would exceed the 8 ½ % planned for the preferred investors. The profits above this would be paid to the common stock holders. Based on the latest numbers from the company, the earned income is assessed near 0.83 cents per share per quarter. This would bump it up a small amount; however, two changes will occur in the near future that will reestablish the balance for the investors. The first is when the market stabilizes the price near $25 a share. This will be driven by the fact that the company cannot continue to pay the $1.25 per quarter dividend, and will come down to near $1.00. Investors may react quickly by selling off, but with a dividend of $1.00 per quarter, and stock price near $25, the return would be near 16% and investors will want to partake of the return. We expect to see the run up in stock price near the Ex-date, and sell-off soon after, but long-term investors will appreciate a double-digit return.
There is one downside that may have an effect on the financial market right now and that can create disruptions in AGNC's quarterly reports. That effect is the change in interest rates when the Feds start to reduce the purchases of bonds each month. AGNC may be positioned to increase the spread, which would increase its profits, or may be squeezed by the increase that reduces its profitability. Timing in the market will be everything.
A political effect in the financial markets will be discussed more in the media over the next several months, one that includes President Obama's nomination of Mel Watt, for the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which is the independent regulator with oversight of Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC), the Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs). This confirmation process through the Senate is expected to drag into the summer.
Another factor is the U.S. Treasury and HUD's white paper listing three possible courses of action, with no recommendation and each option describes an extensive list of changes to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The timeline for action just grew on Capital Hill. Congress and the White House will attempt to work an agreement along party lines and not reach a comprehensive plan for the future of the GSEs in the near term nor is it expected during this Presidency. Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are expected to continue as is for the foreseeable future.
All of these events create a positive environment for the additional sale of 10-20 million dollars of preferred stock that benefits all investors of AGNC.
AGNC is a real estate investment trust that invests in agency pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency or a U.S. Government-sponsored entity.
Disclosure: I am long AGNC and plan to purchase in the future. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

AT&T to Provide Advanced Communications Expertise for Al Madina A'zarqa City Development
AT&T to Provide Expertise and Know-How to Al Madina A'zarqa - a Major Infrastructure Project for the Sultanate of Oman
Muscat, Oman, July 6, 2009
The Blue City Company 1 (BCC1), and AT&T*, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to deliver the design for advanced communications services and related infrastructure. Al Madina A'Zarqa is a major infrastructure project in Oman, a development of a new city of 200,000 people. BCC1 has been created to deliver Phase 1 of the project.
Under this agreement, Blue City Company 1 will work with AT&T to develop telecommunications services that will be rolled out to residential customers and businesses in the development, a 32 square kilometer city being constructed in Al Sawadi, a 60-minute drive from Oman's capital Muscat.
Consisting of 20 5-starhotels and housing 200,000 residents, the development is expected to radically expand the tourism facilities in the Sultanate of Oman. By centering its economic development on tourism, trade, sports and wellness, medicine and healthcare, education and entertainment, the development is expected to generate large scale employment opportunities for Omani nationals, promote freehold property ownership for both nationals and expatriates, and serve as a leading hub for business and leisure activities in the Sultanate.
AT&T will provide expertise in areas such as product development, business modeling and technical support for advanced technologies as IPTV, Video on Demand, and other Internet Protocol based services, as well as communications infrastructure design and network management.
"We are very proud to announce our relationship with AT&T" said Richard Russell, PE, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of Blue City Company 1. "At Al Madina A'Zarqa, it is our goal to provide state-of-the-art facilities to our residents and visitors. AT&T shares our vision and working with them will help us provide the highest quality and service standards. Al Madina A'Zarqa will be at par with the world's leading cities."
Al Madina A'Zarqa will give visitors the connection to the most advanced and powerful global backbone networks. "The development is very important to the country; it will be an integral part of the transformation that is going to take place in Oman, in line with His Majesty's Vision 2020," said Mark Fuller, Chief Technology Officer of Blue City Company 1. "Our technology strategy will have an impact at national levels in terms of an economic and social development perspective providing a unique experience as a connected community," Fuller added.
"We are pleased to take part in the creation of a new city in Oman. This is a very opportune time to be part of the vision of Al Madina A'Zarqa to make this a world class city development," said John B. Gibson, President, AT&T Middle East and Africa. "We are confident that this agreement with Al Madina A'Zarqa will provide a solid foundation to support their vision to provide advanced technologies to the new city.
AT&T is a premier global communications holding company, providing services around the world. Earlier this year AT&T announced plans to invest approximately $1 billion in 2009 to continue building out its global network, while driving new services and network-based applications to businesses. Spurred by continued demand for business applications made possible by the proliferation of high speed communication networks and mobile devices worldwide, the investment will focus on network infrastructure, services and support.
Over the past three years, AT&T has made significant investments in the Middle East. AT&T's global network provides services for multinational companies throughout the MEA region and offers customers access to its advanced portfolio of IP based managed communications services including hosting, security and worldwide connectivity.

You have no items in your wishlist.
Free delivery on orders over €50.
(Posted on 30/05/2017)
After trying pretty much every "nude" lipstick out there from luxe to cheap n cheerful this is the nicest colour I've ever found. I apply it after a lip balm and it lasts all day. Please please please don't ever stop making this!
(Posted on 25/04/2017)
I looooveeee it!
(Posted on 17/09/2016)
Very light on the lips like a feather!!!! Lightly dries on the lips but not too much that you want to take off
(Posted on 29/02/2016)
Impressively fast delivery! Great matte lipstick, much better than similar products that are more than twice the price! I will buy this in every colour!
(Posted on 21/02/2016)
Cant believe I never found out about this sooner! It's everything I want a lipstick to be & it's so cheap! Looking forward to potential new shades coming out but recommend this to everyone!! Never knew I could be so in love with a lip product!
(Posted on 19/02/2016)
I am so in love with the quality of this product that I just purchased another three more beautiful colors! Product goes on so pigmented with one swipe. It dries so matte, but not over drying. It doesn't crack nor does the color leak.. Ahhhh and the best part, my lips look soooo good and plump for some reason. I guess matte works well with my face haha, I know not many like matte lips, but I def would encourage all to try, especially if you're a newbie to the liquid lipstick genre... This product won't disappoint! Can't wait to get the other colors
(Posted on 01/02/2016)
Great pigment, with good staying power! can go a little bit crumbly, and the applicator is very hard- so took a few tries to get used to that. overall a good lippy that i would repurchase!
(Posted on 22/01/2016)
When I went to H&M in sweden I saw they had all the sleek makeup products back in stock. I had been eyeing out this product for the longest time before I forced myself into buying this. And I do NOT regret buying this and for someone like me who hates sticky and messy lipstick, this is amazing! It's über pigmented and it lasts all day, and for someone who love the nude shade Kylie Jenner is wearing, this is it. 5/5!
(Posted on 08/01/2016)
I was in Superdrug when I thought I'd try this on. It must have been the universe telling me something because I rarely try testers on my lips. I've had previous Sleek products so I figured this wouldn't disappoint. I put some on my lips and the first thing that popped in my head was "I need to write a review on this." It's pigmented, it was the shade I've always looked for and it looks excellent once applied.
Forget your luxury brands, paying £20 for lipstick, all you need is to try Sleek's matte me lipsticks and you'll look as fab as the next instagram beauty blogger. I absolutely love this and would totally recommend.
(Posted on 20/10/2015)
I love this product, I love the finish, the colour and the drying time is the quickest out of any matte liquid lipstick I've tried. You have so many bright colours however and only one muted colour, and I think as the Birthday Suit shade is clearly selling the best, Sleek fans (myself in particular) would LOVE to see less brights, and more muted shades. Perhaps a browny shade or a soft berry colour, less pinky, more burgundy. Would be amazing!
(Posted on 03/10/2015)
This is THE perfect shade of nude colour I've ever bought, looks a little pinkish on me. Definitely going to buy it again.
Dries a little bit your lips if you keep rubbing your lips but you can always apply lip balm before applying the lip cream.
(Posted on 20/09/2015)
(Posted on 20/08/2015)
This is probably the best nude colour I've ever purchased as I can never find one that suits me. Dries down to a lovely matte. Would rate 5 stars but I hate the applicator as it isn't soft on the lips and is hard to use.
Overall a very good product.
(Posted on 04/08/2015)
I went to 3 different Superdrug stores in London in July but they were all sold out. Glad I could find them on Sleek's website again (seems they're all out now too).
A friend asked me to buy Sleek products for her, and I thought I might try their oh-so-famous matte lip glosses. I was quite skeptical since I've read lots of reviews saying it dries out your lips, is unflattering, etc, but it's beautiful! Would be wise to apply a little lip balm before applying.
(Posted on 06/07/2015)
Great lip gloss. Indeed mate and a lovely nude color! Do not use too much and always wipe the excess with a tissue
(Posted on 08/04/2015)
Love this! Looks quite dark brown on me but still very pinky/red. It does feel quite dry if you keep trying to rub your lips together like I do and at the end of my night it was coming off and leaving a line around the edge- looked kinda gross. But this was a while after I'd put it on and I had been drinking! I found it a bit tricky to apply around the outside of my lips at first, it looked a bit uneven but I got the hang of it quickly. Overall, I really like it- would recommend and would buy it again!
(Posted on 08/04/2015)
This product is excellent for me. It lasts through meals, drinks and sometimes lasts a whole day with just one application if I'm lucky. The only problem for me is this can be quite drying, but apart from that it's an amazing product!!
(Posted on 19/03/2015)
This color is more of a brownish pinkish nude on my lips.
It paints on smoothly. It does not have any particular scent.
It dries rather quickly and seems to last long.
Wish it was like the prolongwear type that you can get from mac or revlon and rimmel with a coat to moisturize the lips a bit.
(Posted on 18/02/2015)
Easy to apply, makes lips appear fuller & plump, stays on while eating & drinking. I love it gives that kylie jenner nude lip look! I'm not one to put lip liner and re apply lipstick all day; so, i love how easy it is to apply.
(Posted on 06/02/2015)
I love this product. It is very pigmented and last a long time, and even though it's matte, it doesn't make my lips dry, like it, like it, LIKE IT .
(Posted on 15/01/2015)
so so so beautiful, stays on and is not drying
(Posted on 09/05/2014)
I love this product. It is very pigmented and last a long time, and even though it's matte, it doesn't flake or make my lips dry, which is usually the case with matte lip gloss.
Totally recommend it.

The Fab Four came to the city in August 1967 to attend a seminar led by their Indian guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
But the landmark visit was cut short when they learnt of the death of their manager Brian Epstein from an overdose of sleeping tablets.
Bangor was thrown into the spotlight because of Epstein's death and the band's urgent departure from the city.
Mr Epstein, who was 32 when he died on 27 August, had been due to travel to Bangor, Gwynedd from London to meet John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison at the seminar.
Before leaving Bangor, John Lennon said: "Our meditations have given us confidence to stand such a shock."
Hundreds of screaming fans greeted the Beatles when their train arrived in Bangor on 25 August.
Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull were also on the trip, arranged because the Maharishi, then the leader of the Spiritual Regeneration Movement, was addressing the movement's conference at Bangor's Normal College.
In a BBC Radio Wales programme to be broadcast on Monday, fans and historians will remember the significance of their visit and the affect it had on the city.
Christina Dunn, who was on the same train as the Beatles that day, said the atmosphere was "electric".
"It was wonderful to be in their presence," she said. "It was a part of history, absolutely, and I was a part of it."
Leonard Jones, a gardener at the college at the time, said the Beatles presence prompted people to sing, play guitar and meditate in the bushes.
"We started giving out flowers to people to put around their necks," he said.
"They were a happy bunch! We ran out of flowers that day."
Back in 1967, the Beatles, who had given up touring, were number one in the album charts with their critically-acclaimed Sgt Pepper's album.
Their classic peace anthem All You Need Is Love was also riding high in the singles charts.
So their appearance in Bangor took on a new significance, said music journalist and author Jon Savage.
"The Beatles hadn't been seen for a while, they'd stopped touring and their success had made them almost God-like," he said.
"Gone were the mop tops and smart outfits - instead they were turned out in psychedelic fineries.
"They had everything they could buy by now and were looking for something more, something spiritual."
The Beatles in Bangor will be broadcast at 1300 BST on BBC Radio Wales on Monday 27 August.

US Democrats, Republicans Diverge Sharply on Government's Role
October 26, 2012 4:51 PM
Ken Bredemeier
More than just choosing the American leader, voters in the November 6 U.S. presidential election also will effectively be deciding what role they want the federal government to play in their lives.
Either U.S. President Barack Obama, the Democratic incumbent, will be re-elected, or his Republican challenger, wealthy businessman Mitt Romney, will take over in January.
Aside from winning a political contest, however, the two candidates represent political parties that have grown increasingly distinct over a several-decade evolution. The person who wins a four-year term in the White House is likely to present a sharply different view than the other of the scope of the national government's programs, taxation and spending.
Steve Smith, a political scientist at Washington University in St. Louis, explains the distinctions between the two American political parties.
"The two camps do represent very different views of the role of the federal government. The Democrats and the President Obama camp certainly believe that the federal government should have a strong, positive role in addressing the major challenges that face American society. The Romney-Republican camp believes that the federal government should stay out of many aspects of American life and that the overall role of the federal government should shrink. Along with that, taxes should shrink, in their view."
In shorthand form, Obama's Democratic Party has come to represent a robust expansion of the federal government, with a broad health care plan for the uninsured and regulation of major Wall Street financiers. Meanwhile, Romney's Republican Party, aside from cutting taxes, wants to repeal the near-universal health care plan, sharply trim federal regulation of American corporations and eliminate other programs, such as support for a government-funded broadcasting system.
George Nation, a professor of finance and law at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, says the differences are rooted in the philosophical differences between the two presidential candidates.
"On the one hand you have President Obama who believes strongly in the power of government to improve peoples' lives directly. And I think in Governor Romney is someone who believes in the power of government to allow people to improve their lives."
John Gilmour, a public policy professor at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, says the political viewpoint of the two parties has shifted over a lengthy period of time.
"The Democrats have long supported big programs, social insurance programs, Social Security and Medicare, that provide, in the case of Social Security, pensions for the elderly, and in the case of Medicare, health insurance for the elderly. Also Medicaid [health care assistance for the poor.] The Republicans traditionally have been relatively supportive of those programs, but they are less so today."
All three academics point to legal and societal changes in the U.S. in the last half century that have served to split the parties along ideological lines, with little overlap. The 1960s civil rights movement in the southern portion of the country pushed many conservative Democrats into the Republican Party. Liberal supporters of gender equality and abortion rights more often than not landed in the Democratic Party, while those supporting conservative social values, lower taxation and less government joined like-minded people in the Republican Party.
Smith says the distinctions between the parties are well-known to voters.
"This difference between the parties is now so well established, so well recognized that long before this presidential campaign started, the public had a pretty good idea about this important difference between the two parties."
The philosophical gap between the two American political parties has often led to a stalemate in attempts to enact major legislation in Congress. Soon after the election, the country is faced with a major spending and taxation debate, the outcome of which only partly depends on the election results. Some significant decisions will require action even before Mr. Obama or Mr. Romney starts a new term in office early next year.
Gilmour says Americans can expect the political gridlock will continue.
"What we have with two polarized parties is the new normal. That's what we should expect for the foreseeable future. The problem is that our political institutions are based on compromise and accommodation. They don't work well with polarized parties."

Penn Hills and Gateway loom as big section matchups for Plum boys soccer
The Plum varsity boys soccer team opened Section 3-AAA play with a 4-1 loss to Central Catholic and then rebounded with a 3-1 win over Allderdice.
A 5-0 setback to Fox Chapel followed to put the Mustangs at 1-2 in conference play.
A three-game section week, which continues Thursday against Penn Hills at 7:30 p.m. at Linton Middle School and Saturday at 1 p.m. with Gateway at home, head coach Dave Baleno hopes, will boost his team as it heads into the second half of the section slate.
"The three section games are so important for us," Baleno said.
"We are trying to fight back from losses to Central Catholic and Fox Chapel. These games are so vital to get to where we need to be as the first half of section play ends. Penn Hills and Gateway are our neighbors and are fighting for the same things we are. They are always fun games to play with a lot of emotion and energy."
Tuesday's matchup with Woodland Hills at Plum was to end past the deadline for this week's edition.
Baleno knows how close these section games can be. He was on the sidelines as an assistant last year when Plum rallied against Gateway on a Saturday afternoon at Plum.
The Mustangs won that game in overtime on a goal from Stephen Hemmerle.
Baleno said that as important as physical toughness and preparation is in these rugged section matchups, mental fitness also plays a big part.
Plum also will play three games next week, with section contests against Central Catholic at home on Tuesday, a game at Allderdice two days later and a home game against Fox Chapel on Saturday, Sept. 28.
It marks three straight weeks with a Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday stretch.
"With school, practice and games, things like good nutrition and proper rest are key," Baleno said.
"If you lose concentration in games, the other teams can score quickly, and that could be the difference between a win and a loss."
Baleno said senior defender Austin Baer, who suffered a knee injury against Allderdice on Sept. 6, returned for last Saturday's nonsection game against North Allegheny and played well.
"Austin's such a strong tackler with great speed. You have to have that on defense," Baleno said.
"It's tough to play against a guy like that. Even if you beat him, he's going to be right on your tail. It's so hard to beat him in the first place because he's such a good tackler. Austin can shut down his part of the field effectively, and he and Stephen (Hemmerle) create a wall. When the communication is high and they read each other's body language well, they are tough to beat."
Junior defender Max Barone still is out from his injury against Central Catholic on Sept. 3. Baleno said he's not sure when Barone will be back.
Junior Orazio Barbarino and senior Corey Williams each scored goals against North Allegheny, but the Tigers scored a 4-2 win Saturday.
North Allegheny was without senior Division I prospect Sean Dickerson, who was on a college recruiting trip.
"Even without (Dickerson), North Allegheny is an extremely strong team," Baleno said.
"It was a good test for us, especially in this early part of the season having already played Central Catholic and Fox Chapel. All three teams are in the higher bracket in the WPIAL.
"We took the game to them at times, and they took the game to us. Two of their goals came from our mistakes."

The embattled New York Racing Association, currently fighting off blistering investigations by state authorities over its operations, discovered June 25 that nothing is a sure thing anymore.What was originally thought to be a routine request by NYRA to lower its takeout was deferred June 25 by the New York State Racing and Wagering Board. State regulators said they have given NYRA, as well as the state's off-track betting corporations, until June 27 to provide financial details about the possible ramifications of the lower takeout."Nobody is able to answer the questions of how this will impact handle and how it would impact the distribution of revenues to municipalities by the OTBs," said Stacy Clifford, a racing board spokeswoman. "The board wants to see hard numbers, and they feel they didn't have enough information to make a real informed decision."NYRA wants to lower the takeout on win, place, and show bets from 14% to 13%. The takeout on multiple bets, such as daily doubles, would go from 17.5% to 17%. It believes the lower takeouts will entice more betting and bring more revenue to both the track and OTB parlors.But OTB corporations, upset that NYRA failed to negotiate in advance with them, said the lower takeout by NYRA will force them to lower their takeout, thereby reducing the revenues they are obligated to share with local governments across the state. NYRA was hoping to get the takeout in place the week of June 30, in time for the end of the season at Belmont Park and for the entire Saratoga meet. Racing board officials said if the plan isn't approved by July 1, NYRA cannot lower the takeout until Oct. 1 because of provision in a new law that permits takeout to change only once per quarter.NYRA jumped on a new law, approved in May, that basically deregulated--New York style--takeout decisions. Though tracks no longer have to go to the state legislature to lower takeout, a final OK is needed by the racing board.An angry NYRA chairman, Barry Schwartz, lashed out at the decision to defer the takeout request. "We assumed this was a no-brainer,'' Schwartz said. He said the issue clearly shows that "OTBs don't understand the gambling business.''
Schwartz said the OTBs would automatically get a reduction in what they pay NYRA whenever the takeout is lowered by NYRA. He wondered why the state would delay the takeout reduction decision and possibly jeopardize it from kicking in for the lucrative Saratoga meet when it was the state itself that adopted the plan to let tracks more easily lower the takeout. He noted that handle increased in one year by $233 million the first time NYRA lowered the takeout in 2001.
"What more proof does the state need,'' he said.
Earlier this week, NYRA was busy promoting the takeout plan as a "win-win situation for all involved," according to a written statement by Schwartz. Since NYRA reduced its takeout in 2001, $72 million more has been returned to bettors in the form of winnings, NYRA said.
No Approval Yet for NYRA Plan to Lower Takeout

Cosmetic dermatology is a field of medicine that is in constant development; therefore, the use of objective methods for validating the findings of scientific studies is crucial. The most commonly used techniques in the majority of these studies include histopathology, immunohistochemistry, morphometry, stereology, digital photography, biometry, optical profilometry and confocal microscopy. The objective of this review was to provide an update on the principal methods used as tools for analyzing outcomes and also to provide the dermatologist with means of sharpening his/her critical judgement with respect to the publications and presentations that use subjective evaluation methods.

To read these words of the famed justice at a time when we recall the deeds of fallen heroes reminded me of a memorial that should be of interest to our community but seems to be forgotten.
In the past people around the world observed a time of remembering similar to ours. We Americans have always continued a custom almost as old as time itself: honoring the dead.
Yearly we have celebrated, for example, Armed Forces Day, National Maritime Day and Memorial Day — times to pause, reflect and honor those who served our country.
I am thinking today of one site in Bayside that has had a long history of ceremony to honor the deeds of one of our early heroes. He has not been forgotten, but the ceremony which had been a community tradition for more than 30 years has not been held for the last several years.
Such plans should be easy to reinstate and may indeed be of interest again. Though not a similar event to those of the past, one was successfully held by the Bayside Hills Civic Association this year whose president, Michael Feiner, is open to hearing from those who would like to discuss the matter.
The memorial of which I speak is a small triangular park at 48th Avenue and 216th Street: Dermody Square.
After the Civil War, in 1866 Mrs. James O'Donnell set aside that portion of her family's farm in honor of her brother, Capt. William Dermody. The Dermody family had emigrated from Nova Scotia, Canada, in the early 1800s. Dermody operated a stage coach line in Bayside.
An ardent abolitionist, he left his home in Bayside and his business to join the 67th Regiment, Long Island Volunteers. He attained the rank of captain Nov. 21, 1862. His regiment was attached to the Army of the Potomac, which saw major action in Fredericksburg, Gettysburg and the Wilderness Campaign. Unfortunately, Dermody was mortally wounded during the attack on the "Bloody Angle" May 12, 1864, in the battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse, Va. He was the first Baysider to die in the war.
A small two-room schoolhouse stood on the plot Dermody's sister wished to have set aside in his honor and a group of citizens in 1866 met in the school and held a memorial ceremony. At the time two trees were planted in the square: a maple tree to represent the North and a sycamore to represent the South, symbolizing the hope for a better Union.
In later years the school was moved near Bell Boulevard and 46th Avenue, the predecessor of present day PS 31. As the years went by the trees which had been planted failed to flourish and their symbolism was forgotten.
The records of the park and its history were recovered by then-city Public Works Commissioner John J. Halleran and in 1935 a group of public-spirited Baysiders decided to rededicate the forgotten site and plant new trees. The huge boulder which marked the spot was unveiled and inscribed and the children of PS 31 took part in a pageant that preceded the ceremony.
Years passed and the memorial became vandalized. In 1973 the Bayside Historical Society decided to restore the memorial. It purchased a bronze plaque in cooperation with Dermody's relatives, the Bayside Hills Civic Association and the Catholic War Veterans of St. Robert Bellarmine Church.
A dedication ceremony was held by the society with its founder and president, Joseph Brown, presiding. From that time on until some years ago, the society held an annual ceremony at the site.
The legend on the Dermody memorial plaque read:
"1830 Captain William C. Dermody, 1864
"Died in action at Spotsylvania, Virginia during the Civil War. This plot then part of the James O'Donnell farm was set aside in 1866 by Mrs. James O'Donnell as a memorial to her brother, Captain Dermody, and named Dermody Square in his honor. The boulder was unveiled during rededication in 1935."
I do not know if plans are being made to replace the missing legend, but Capt. Dermody's name is also engraved on the Civil War monument on Northern Boulevard in Flushing. He is buried in his family's grave site at Mount St. Mary's Cemetery in Flushing.

But these are a string of possibilities whereas it is a
certainty that the Portuguese, British, French and
German had a presence there. On the possibility side,
there is also a the claim by Herodotus that the Phoenicians
circumvented Africa with the apparent support of the Egyptians.
The Phoenicians are known to have been trading partners
with the Tartessians in Portugal who also likely got tin
from Britain. If they can travel so far north they can travel
so far south and with the Phoenicians could have planted
genes and cultural packages there. The sea route is more
plausible because the trail of R-P25* seems more coastal
than overland. Guinea-Bissau is almost equidistant to
Portugal from Cameroon. From a nautical point of view
one can argue resupply points.
Let me be clear in that I do believe R-M343 came to western
Europe from the east as mainly the first in. I am saying that
I think, given the age of R-M269, R-M269's offspring originated
in western Europe.

The Pound rallied to a fresh five-month high against the U.S Dollar this morning, while the UK currency also made strong gains versus the majority of the 16 most actively traded currencies. Sterling hit a high of 1.5575 in London, as global risk appetite continues to improve, diminishing the allure of the U.S Dollar as a safe haven asset.
Concerns over the U.S economic outlook also dominates, amid fears of a double-dip recession, as the economic data points to a slowing housing market and rising unemployment. UK stocks have risen for a second successive day, buoyed by a rally in banking shares, as Barclays Plc rose 5%. The benchmark FTSE 100 Index was up 0.8% by midday, while crude oil prices also hit an 11-week high, after analysts at Goldman Sachs said that the price was too cheap.
Risk appetite continued to improve, after the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision relaxed some of its tougher proposals on capital and liquidity rules. Barclays Plc and Lloyds Banking Group Plc led the rally in banking shares, as the Committee allowed certain assets, including minority stakes in other financial companies to count as capital.
The latest CBI retail sales data yesterday was much stronger-than-expected and this triggered a fresh surge in the Pound to the upper resistance levels above $1.55 against the Dollar. The survey recorded a strong figure for July and retailers were also optimistic over the outlook for August. Although distorted to some extent by methodology changes, the survey was a four-year high and the Pound was able to continue its upward momentum.
The Pound also recovered earlier losses against the resurgent Euro, rising towards 1.1960 in London, despite a lack of any key economic data released in the UK or the Euro-zone. The corrective recovery appears more technical than fundamental, but Euro buyers are advised to be cautious, as the single currency broke through $1.30 against the U.S Dollar this morning. The performance of the single currency versus the greenback seems to be dictating GBP/EUR in recent days and buyers would be well placed to utilise a stop order to protect against a further downward move.
The UK currency remained broadly resilient towards the close of trading last night, despite a report from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, which showed that the pace of UK second quarter economic growth was a "blip" and that the Bank of England should continue to maintain emergency stimulus measures.
The preliminary estimate of UK gross domestic product in the three months to June showed that the economy expanded 1.1%, the fastest pace in four years. The result of the data far exceeded initial expectations and presents a difficult challenge to policy makers, who must decide if the economy faces a greater threat from inflation or need additional stimulus, as the government implements the deepest spending cuts in the post-war era.
Simon Kirby, NIESR economist, told reporters yesterday "I don't think that growth rate will be sustained. Far from that, I think the growth rate will fall back somewhat quite sharply." Bank of England policy maker Andrew Sentance this month repeated his recommendation to begin raising interest rates, citing "resilient" inflationary pressures.
The Euro maintained a strong tone against the Dollar in early European trading yesterday, rising above the coveted $1.30 level against the U.S Dollar. European economic data again provided support, with German consumer confidence rising to 3.9 in July, from a revised 3.6 in June. There was also an annual increase in Euro-zone money supply for the first time since January.
Risk appetite also remained firm and helped push the Euro to the highest level in 11-weeks against the Dollar. The U.S housing data was slightly stronger-than-expected with the Case/Shiller house price index recording a 4.6% increase in the year to May. However, a separate report showed that U.S consumer confidence fell below forecasts in July, as mounting concern over job losses and earnings threatens to curtail the recovery.
Guy LeBas, chief fixed-income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, said that "faith in the economic recovery is failing. It'll be 2013 before we see any semblance of normality in the labour market. It means weaker purchases." There was some weakening in risk appetite following the data, which provided some initial Dollar support. amid a retreat in high-yield and commodity currencies.
