'One life, one flag, one mile' times 2,100 for veteran running to remember
By David Phillips
Wednesday, September 19, 2012 3:38 AM
Mike Ehredt made an unplanned stop on his way from Preston to Decorah Tuesday morning as he kept seeing picturesque scenes he felt worthy of recording. As soon as he saw the log cabin at the side of the trail, he had to stop for a photo, something he said he doesn't usually do on his marathon distance daily runs.
As the light of dawn filtered down into the valley in Preston Tuesday, Mike Ehredt walked out of his room at the Trailhead Inn with his belongings packed in a modified jogging stroller. He pushed the stroller out of the parking lot and started running. Approximately six hours later he reached Decorah, a distance of more than 30 miles.
For many people, Tuesday, Sept. 11, was a special day as they took time to remember the horror of 9/11. For Ehredt, it was just another day in his solitary quest to remember the fallen soldiers of Afghanistan. While 9/11 still captures our nation's attention once a year, the war in Afghanistan, which resulted from 9/11 and is now the longest war in U.S. history, has moved into the background with a seemingly wall of silence around it.
Ehredt, a runner and veteran, is doing his part to keep the memories of fallen soldiers alive by running the equivalent of a marathon a day for 81 days as the Idaho resident makes his way from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico as part of his own Project America Run Part II. Along the way he is planting a flag for each deceased veteran at every mile point in his run.
As he began the day's run down Fillmore Street in Preston, a car slowed down to a crawl. A woman rolled down the window. "I saw you on TV last night," she shouted. Then, with added emphasis, said "thank you" before rolling up her window and going on her way.
Ehredt, who had been interviewed by a couple television reporters the previous night, quietly acknowledges the show of support as he silently ran down the street in the early morning light. The slogan on the side of his stroller and on the back of his shirt "One Life, One Flag, One Mile," are the only indications that he is a man on a mission.
Kathy Dahl, Preston's tourism director, helped set up Ehredt's stay in Preston after running there from the St. Charles area and took him out to dinner Monday night following a talk to a group of interested people that gathered at the trailhead Monday afternoon. She noted that he was not using the run as an opportunity to draw attention to himself and never once asked anyone in Preston for donations to his cause.
"His heart is in the right place, in that, his goal with the run is to truly honor the fallen soldiers and comfort their families with the message that their son or daughter has not been forgotten," said Dahl.
His website (www.projectamericarun.com) notes that "there is no statement to be made, no political message, just a personal tribute and a gift of thanks to those who served our country."
The journey
After the brief exchange with the supportive driver, Ehredt continued his run down Fillmore Street, making his first stop near a city light pole adorned with a large flag waving in the early morning breeze. He stopped, planted a small flag with a yellow ribbon below it that listed the name, rank, age and hometown of a fallen military member and then saluted before moving on, an action he will repeat 2,100 times, once every mile, before the end of his journey.
Although Ehredt is using the simplest form of transportation possible, he is well outfitted with technology. His iPhone has a custom software program installed that marks each flag with a graphic marker on a website for families to acknowledge the memorial to their soldier. He also has a Garmin watch with GPS so he can track each mile, an alarm sounding so he knows it is time for his ritual. Another unit on his stroller tracks his progress so people in the next town waiting for him can see how close he is and in case his location is needed for an emergency.
Typically, he runs the highways and roads through the country, but Tuesday he decided to run the Harmony-Preston Valley State Trail on the recommendation of Dahl, who noted that it is about the same distance as Highway 52 to Harmony. Ehredt was glad she made the recommendation.
"I don't usually stop to take pictures," he said as he interrupted his run a second time in the first three miles to record the scenery he was encountering on his early morning travel. He was clearly impressed with the beauty of the trail.
Ehredt started in International Falls, Minn., on Aug. 23. His journey on foot will end in Galveston, Texas, on Nov. 11, Veterans Day. Over the 2,100 miles he runs, he will plant 2,100 flags. That is greater than the death toll so far, but he knows it will grow during his journey and wants to include the recently deceased in his invisible wall of honor across the country. This is his second cross-country trip, as part one of Project America Run in 2010 covered more than 4,000 miles from Astoria, Ore., on the Pacific Ocean coast to Rockland, Maine, on the Atlantic coast to honor those who died in Iraq.
Shoes, not body, wear out
On the stroller's handle bar next to the box full of flags hang 19 shoelaces, one for each pair of shoes Ehredt has gone through on his two journeys. He said he should clear the laces out as they add to the clutter, but he keeps them there, even the ones from 2010, for good luck.
He replaces his shoes about every 300 miles. He has shoes and a new supply of flags shipped to future destinations on a regular basis. Tuesday, he made arrangements for a special delivery of warmer running gear after viewing weather forecasts in Iowa for cooler and rainy weather later in the week.
When asked about the toll of running a marathon every day with no breaks in his daily schedule, Ehredt said he hasn't encountered any problems. For one thing, he runs at an easy pace, noting that his movements aren't much more than what a working person may encounter over a full day.
"The body can handle much more than people realize," he said.
He attributes a routine that makes sure he gets adequate sleep and good meals to his endurance on foot. He gets an early start, takes a power nap as soon as he gets into a new town before meeting with the residents and makes sure he has a good night's sleep. He also has a special fuel - a quart of chocolate milk - that gets him through the long distances. He wears compression sleeves on his legs to reduce the risk of injury during the run and longer compression sleeves that cover his entire legs at night to enhance recovery.
His main concern is with his energy lagging, not pain or soreness, as he never takes a break from his daily routine of running.
Spirit of Americans
In a blog he wrote on Wednesday, Ehredt said he spent much of Tuesday, the 11th anniversary of 9/11, trying to answer a question a 4-year-old asked a few days ago: "Why is freedom so important to you?" He noted that he looks at the names on each flag and the yellow ribbon to try to find a connection between them and those we lost on Sept. 11, 2001, in New York.
"I come to the conclusion that it is the spirit of we Americans," he wrote. "A spirit that we inherited. There is a core value in us all, one that is indisputable." Recalling the firefighters and others rushing to aid those in need, he concluded "we respond without hesitating. Lives are sacrificed to save others."
Prior to delving into these thoughts, Ehredt made his way down the trail answering questions from a journalist running alongside him. He recalled many stories about the people he has met and some of the memories he still carries with him.
For example, he reached into a pouch on his stroller and pulled out a beat up Liberty dollar coin he found on the road just after a string of happenings that seemed to have more meaning than pure coincidence. Then he pulled a bullet out of his pocket that a retired police officer in Lake City had given him. The officer told him that the bullet had been meant for him, the last one left in a gun carried by a criminal that had already shot him twice with only a bullet-proof vest saving his life. He gave it to Ehredt, feeling it would prevent harm from coming to him along his journey.
Ehredt also told stories about the gracious people he has stayed with on his journey. As he headed toward Iowa he recalled asking one man how he would know when he crossed the border into Iowa, questioning if there was a welcome sign. The Minnesotan joked that once he got into Iowa he would "lose his smarts" because that's what happens in Iowa, showing the good-natured rivalry of the two states.
However, Ehredt's first encounter with Iowa was inspiring. He ran with the Luther College cross-country team as he approached Decorah and then gave a talk to 600 students, who in unison greeted him with a physical and vocal tribute to 9/11.
The tribute clearly moved Ehredt, who ended his blog for that day with "We care. We believe. We are generous. We respect. We sacrifice. We are honest. We are thankful. We love. We listen. We learn.
"We remember........."

Report: Drought worsens in key farm states
ST. LOUIS – The latest U.S. drought map shows that excessively parched conditions continue to worsen in the Plains states that are key producers of corn and soybean crops.
The weekly U.S. Drought Monitor map released Thursday shows that the amount of the contiguous U.S. mired in drought conditions dropped a little more than 1 percentage point, to 62.46 percent.
But the expanse still gripped by extreme or exceptional drought rose nearly 2 percentage points to 24.14 percent.
This is the highest percentage of the U.S. in extreme to exceptional drought since Drought Monitor records began in 2000.
The entire states of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado are now in a drought.
The nation's biggest corn and soybean producer, Iowa, is still grappling with the drought. The amount of that state in extreme or exceptional drought more than doubled, rising from 30.74 percent last week to 69.14 percent as of Tuesday.
Overall, across the Midwest, reports of water-related impacts are ticking upward as mandatory restrictions continue to ramp upward around the region, the monitor reports.
"As the drought continues, this will undoubtedly become a more prevalent issue as the agricultural season passes and attention turns to next year's crops or herds," climatologist Mark Svoboda of the National Drought Mitigation Center wrote in the monitor.

Hi Fiona,
thanks for keeping things on going while I got my downtime.
This is an excellent link and everyone who has been following the H5N1 situation would do well to bookmark this one, mainly because of is "official" nature, thus circumventing media manipulation and the various differing levels of downplaying that various governments will subject this topic to.
We have already witnessed this with West Java's response yesterday, and prior to that even here in Australia at the end of January with that massuve duck cull just outside Melbourne.
Welcome back hope you had a great weekend
its been pretty cold here in uk but lots of warm hot drinks of ginger tea, extra layers of clothing and its fine , would you have any information on natural ways of boosting the immune sytem in thease cold days ?
Well so far the weekend has been ok, pretty crap weather here in Ausrtralia, where we live in the sub-tropics, hot and humid most of the time ie 27 Celcius days, 22 nights with humidity never under about 85%, its something you do need to get used to, but it is really lovely weather, this is our wet season, so thunderstorms are the norm most afternoons for about an hour or so then it just cooks up again.
Wouldnt trade it for your weather though.
I really wouldnt be too worried about trying to boost your immune system too much...youve already read how a good immune system is probably going to be your worst enemy in the event of contracting H5N1.
Its relates to your age, and there's not much you can do about that.
If I were you, I'd be stocking up on lots of latex gloves, alcohol hand washing solutions, and fine disposable face masks..when this thing begins these will be the most important "front line" protections that you will be easily able to utilize and you wont look like a fanatic.
You shouldnt even have to act like one either, just observe a few practical hygenic principles.
After that, really what you then need to do is to put into place methods where you can order your food and other perishable supplies to be made available to you without direct contact with other people.
Keep in mind, when this bug becomes its most deadly, it will be an airborne vector, spreading from person to person by airborne particles, usually droplets from sneezing and coughting, this is why the medicos say that in general terms a metre seperation from an infected person greatly reduces the risk of infection, however, from my point of view, Id want a bit more than that, I think...
From the excellent links that you have already provided to this thread, one of the most important medical perventative directives clearly indicates that maintaining a distance from an infected person by just a metre does provide a good but not perfect amount of insulation from airbourne vectors of infection.
Hand washing is probably THE most important thing to consider as you just dont know who has handled what you are going to handle also, and that is where most of the real dangers come into play.
Aside from the "inter-personal" concerns if and when this thing decides that it is going to make a serious nuisance of itself, well I think that it'll be people like you and me and all our other aware readers that will probably take the first line of defence until our various governments wake up and replace us with better co-ordinated programs, but first up, we are the ones that will, I think be beating down the doors of our international airports till the media and the rest of our insulated and unaware communities wake up to what they are unknowingly walking in to.
We, I think will in all likely hood be the very first line of defense as we are the most informed anywhere on this topic in the world today.
And THAT is exactly why this thread and its contributors are so very important..it will be us that will spot the real beginnings of this pandemic as soon as it shows the slightest advance, because we are all so personally concerned, educated and informed and able to communicate our findings so efficiently as they appear.
This is exactly why I respect anyone who brings anything to this thread, at the time it might not seem too important but in the bigger picture...well we all know about that, dont we?
I also have a very strong and well based belief that from time to time this thread is being supplied with and guided by influences from within the CDC.
Its just a suspicion but some of the content that has appeared here has been of the highest quality we could have ever hoped for.
I sincerely that those inputs continue to persevere, they are most welcome and highly respected, probably because most of this threads readers already have a reasonable level of education, appreciation of the subject matter, so we wont be placed into any situation of panic if we do read of a certain signifcant event, but rather will react appropriately and be a useful resource to the relevant authorities that will need the type of informed resources that we can offer in the initial stages of any catastrophic event.
After all we are not fools and we do understand our enemy here, do we not?

FOLSOM — For the first time in Folsom, the Sierra Jewish Academy is hosting a lecture by Dr. Daniel Khazzoom, who will recount his personal story of life as a Jew under Muslim law and the plight of over one million Jewish refugees of Arab countries. The lecture titled No Way Back, the Journey of a Jew from Baghdad will include the showing of an important documentary, The Forgotten Refugees.
"This is a very crucial story. The Jewish community in Baghdad was over 2,400 years old and today it no longer exists," said Rabbi Yossi Grossbaum of the Sierra Jewish Academy. "And the biggest tragedy is that no one even knows about it. With this lecture, we hope to begin reversing this unfortunate lack of knowledge."
The Sunday morning brunch will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 28, at the Chabad Jewish Community Center, 302 S. Lexington Drive in Folsom. Tickets are available in advance for $15 at nowayback.eventbrite.com and at the door for $20.
The Forgotten Refugees
In the early 20th century, under the heavy weight of anti-Jewish governments and policy, nearly one million Jews from the Middle East and North Africa had their property confiscated, basic human rights stripped, and were systematically persecuted and victimized. Ultimately these Jews were forced to flee their homes and surrender their nationalities, becoming the "Forgotten Refugees" of the Middle East and North Africa. UN Resolution 242 asserted that Jews fleeing Arab countries were 'bona fide' refugees, yet the international community, the media and North American educational systems have continuously ignored their plight and their losses.
Revisionist history of the Middle East conveniently excludes the fact that over half of Israel's Jewish population live there not because of European atrocities during World War II, but because of anti-Jewish Arab governments who dispossessed and displaced their native Jewish populations following the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. Adopted narratives of the Arab-Israeli conflict fail to address the fact that Israel was the largest refugee camp in the Middle East, providing safe haven to some 650,000 dispossessed Middle Eastern and North African Jewish refugees whose ancestors had a continuous presence in the region for more than 3,000 years.
About J. Daniel Khazzoom
Daniel Khazzoom was born in Baghdad, the youngest son of a prominent lawyer in that city. He was 8 years old when the Nazis came to Baghdad. He and his family survived the Farhood, the big massacre of the Jews of Baghdad.
In 1951 he left by himself for Israel, where he served in the Israeli Air Force and subsequently graduated from Tel Aviv University with a B.S. in economics. In 1958 he was the first college graduate from Israel to be admitted to Harvard. In 1963 he graduated from Harvard with a PhD in economics.
He served on the faculty at Cornell, NYU, McGill, Stanford, UC Berkeley and San Jose State. He published four books and numerous articles in energy modeling, econometrics and economics, and served as advisor to the U.S. and Canadian federal governments.
In 1998 he was unanimously elected as the Gilbert White Fellow by the Resources for the Future. He spent the last several years writing his memoir,"The Journey of a Jew from Baghdad."
Khazzoom lives in Sacramento. His book will be available for purchase and to be signed by the author.
About the Sierra Jewish Academy
The Sierra Jewish Academy is the place to turn in the Folsom/El Dorado Hills region for quality adult Jewish learning. The SJA provides innovative, inclusive Jewish educational programs for people from all walks of life, all backgrounds, all lifestyles and all ages.

The Steers Center for Global Real Estate offers students unparalleled access to the real estate industry at a global level through a multi-faceted approach that harnesses the best of Georgetown University and the Washington, D.C., real estate market.
In 2015, Georgetown McDonough aligned its real estate program with industry luminary Robert H. Steers (B '75), CEO of Cohen & Steers Inc., a pioneering global investment manager and the first investment company to specialize in listed real estate.

The undergraduate and MBA-level curricula at Georgetown McDonough are based upon a highly applied, Four Quadrant (public, private, debt, and equity) model of the real estate capital markets. The pedagogical philosophy is one of "top down and bottom up," addressing macro-economic issues and implications on real estate investments; financial and physical attributes at the property level; and knowledge of technical areas such as Argus and Excel-based financial modeling.

Isis Ra Elohim. IS-RA-EL.
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
Yisrael "He has striven with God," or "He has been saved
"Yi", in the Hebrew, is"he". "Sra", in the Hebrew, means "to strive or to save."
We know it as ISRAEL
Here is a qoute from Astrology and the Bible
With the influence of the religions of Isis, Ra and El, or:
Is(is) Ra El(Elohim-Lord) or Mother Father Son(Sun)
The Hebrews named their nation Is-Ra-El, or Israel. The Hebrews adopted Saturday (from Saturn's day) as their day of worship. Christians, whose astrological influence was the sun (also from Egyptian origin), worshipped on Sunday (or the sun's day).
The story of Jonah (Semetic for "sun") is about a man who is swallowed by a whale (death) and remains in it's belly for three days at which time the man is freed (resurrection). This story is another symbolic of the astrological account of how the sun remains still for three days during the winter equinox. It is also symbolic of the resurrection of Christ.
When Moses came down from the mountain, he saw the people worshipping a golden calf. This idol came from the Egyptians astrological worship of the sun. Golden represents the color of the sun. The calf (Taurus the bull) represents the age in which the Moses lived when he wrote the Torah. When history moved into the next sign (Aries the ram), the Hebrews celebrated the approach of their Messiah by blowing rams horns. The sign of Aries influenced many religions to adopt the lamb of God concept.
IS = mother
El = God the Israelite is one who knows Mother Father God. Not Sun. Apollo this stuff is not how it is that you do. You are gathering unto you ones who you are deceiving into bunk about the nature of God and the creation. There were no coded secrets only the illuminati know, and your founder was a big chief antichrist and Jesus was not and IS not the chief Lord of your group. He is in FACT appalled by this stuff.
There is NO winter equinox. Equinox is when the sun is due east on rise and that happens in oct and march. They were literally worshipping a gold calf, which truly had no signficance of God. And they never even accepted their messiah of course, still do not. And he wasn't just their messiah, Michael of Nebadon came for the whole world, Man and Angel and for the lessons he demonstrated to his entire universe. I have yet to see one place where you have any idea what "resurrection" is.
Nobody in Particular
I assume the Golden Calf was probably Hathor.
link to en.wikipedia.org
Hathor is an Ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the principles of love, beauty, music, motherhood and joy. She was
one of the most important and popular deities throughout the history of Ancient Egypt
. Hathor was worshiped by Royalty and common people alike in whose tombs she is depicted as "Mistress of the West" welcoming the dead into the next life. In other roles she was a goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth, as well as the patron goddess of miners.
In the historical era Hathor is shown using the imagery of a cow deity.
link to en.wikipedia.org
Seer, youre so knowledegeable, Good job ! It explains the Bull crescent moon headresses worn by the High Priestess
Story goes to the Persian Mithras as well, practiced in Rome, He slayed the bull and was considered another God of the Sun.

Mel B Shows Off Her Post-Baby Bod (PHOTOS)
Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown, better known as Mel B, was seen running errands in LA on Monday afternoon, and it's the first time we've seen her out and about since she recently gave birth! Sporting a printed maxi dress, Mel was all smiles as she was out with her hubby Stephen Belafonte.
So what exactly was Mel doing for her first post-baby outing?
There are reports that she was making arrangements for her baby's passport. Barely a few weeks old and already getting ready to jet set? Must be nice!
Mel gave birth to a daughter named Madison on September 2, and it's her third child. Mel has daughters Phoenix, 12, and Angel, 4, while Belafonte has a daughter Giselle, 6.

Instead of planting the deceased in the soil,
I freed them from it.
I tugged frost-wasted bodies of tomato and bean plants free.
I was amazed, as I always am amazed,
At how such small roots can support those great gangly things,
Those sprawling wonders that yielded so much fruit.
I cut the vines, the stems away from their cages and poles.
I wrestled the bodies free of these now useless supports.
Then I laid the broken bodies together in their mass grave,
The compost pile so large now, I'm not sure how my husband will turn it.
Ashes and ashes, and dust to dust,
Plant to soil and plant again.
There will be no resurrection for my tomatoes in the spring.
Just a new generation, that like every generation,
Owes its existence to the generations that have passed before.

Tina Fey's daughter seems to be following her mom's footsteps into show biz, and her first role was mom's signature part — Liz Lemon.
On Thursday's episode of 30 Rock, Fey's character Liz Lemon finally got married to her boyfriend Criss Chros (James Marsden), and in doing so had a flashback to her first wedding experience as a flower girl. To show the young Liz Lemon, producers called on Tina Fey's daughter, 7-year-old Alice Zenobia.
As People noted, Tina Fey's daughter made quite a memorable first appearance: "She has worked alongside her fair share of good-looking actors (Jon Hamm, anyone?), but Tina Fey's latest costar may just be the cutest one yet."
Alice Zenobia was a spot-on imitation of Liz Lemon, decked out in a blue dress and matching headpiece with the trademark sass that Tina Fey so deftly brings to the role.
The debut of Tina Fey's daughter comes as 30 Rock itself is preparing for its big exit. After seven seasons, the show is ready to air its final episode on January 31, the Daily Mail notes. The show has become the major career achievement of Tina Fey post-Saturday Night Live, cementing her as one of the most influential forces in comedy today.
Fey will make one more major appearance before the end of 30 Rock, as she joins Amy Poehler to host the Golden Globes on January 13. While it may be the end of the road for Fey — at least as far as 30 Rock is concerned — this week's episode shows that there could be a bright future for Tina Fey's daughter.

Hot Damn Afghan #3
This pattern is available for free.
Skill Level
Easy (k & p sts only)
Mary Carroll posted a variation of Jan Metzger's Hot Damn Afghan pattern on a Prodigy bulletin board circa 1992. Most of the original text of the posting was archived in a 1996 email from "DLevs" at WoolWorks.org, which no longer exists. The Wayback Machine currently archives the rescued page.
Description & Author's Notes
This variation introduces a wide rib pattern between garter stitch rows. Multiple strands of yarn are held as one to make the gauge for the chosen needles; circular needles hold the large width of the project -- knit in rows, not rounds.
"The blanket has the same appearance on both sides, as long as you stay with a multiple of eight."

I just got back from seeing my cosmetic surgeon. I live in the UK, I am 27, 5ft 7, weigh 12 st 4 pounds. I cycle 14 miles a day and eat healthily. I am on HRT for removed ovaries in 2004. My thighs have always been big and bothered me. I paid £100 to see a surgeon today. He looked at my legs for 5 seconds and said no, I am not suitable for Liposuction because my skin is not elastic enough and wil result in baggy skin post op and looking worse. He said my big legs are hereditary and would not agree to perform Lipo on me. Does this sound reasonable?
Skin Not Suitable for Liposuction?
Doctor Answers 3
He may be right, but we can't know without photos
Your surgeon may be right on the money with his assessment, but that doesn't mean that you have no options. Just like all cosmetic procedures, there is a question of weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure. Liposuction may indeed thin your legs, so that in clothing you look more in balance. However, if your skin cannot contract down, then withot clothing on you will notice loose, hanging skin, or severe waviness of the skin, that simply cannot be corrected without excision of the skin. Alternatively, you may be a better candidate for a thigh lift, a procedure which will give us more control over the skin. The disadvantage here is a longer scar, potential for poor or delayed healing, and a longer recovery. So you have to weigh the pluses and minuses and decide what works best for you: no surgery (no difference in appearance, but no risk or downtime), liposuction only (likely look better in clothing, possibly look worse out of clothing) or a lift (better contour and shape of legs, but a long scar, more downtime, etc). Think it over, seek multiple opinions, and then decide what works best for you, but be as honest as you can with yourself about your goals and what you're willing to give up to achieve those goals.
Good luck,

Your surgeon may be very honest
It is a confident, honest surgeon who declines a patient because he anticipates a patient will have a poor result. It is of course never a bad idea to consult several surgeons and view before-after pictures of patients with similar features as yourself before "throwing in the towel".
In patients with loose skin or extensive sun damage, the results of aggressive liposuction can be disastrous.
Often there is a compromise; if conservative liposuction can be performed, or liposuction combined with clever lifts, the patient can achieve very nice results.
Your level of physical fitness seems excellent; congratulations on that.

Maybe--but you can get another opinion.
Liposuction will leave sagging skin if there is poor elasticity and too much fat is removed. Having said that, be very careful as some surgeons operate on anyone!

The tremendous hype of Kites over the last three years has ensured that no film can even dreamt of coming close to it. It"s no wonder, therefore, that there is not a single notable Bollywood release taking place this week.
In any case, it is a much better situation to have no releases at all than to have 5-6 inconsequential films arriving, eating up 10-12 shows at an average on a single day and resulting in precious wastage of multiplex administration cost due to zero audience.
No release means that films like Housefull and Badmaash Company will benefit the most. With multiplexes not quite expected to play Kites at the same number of shows as last week, there are empty spaces waiting to be filled. This would mean that the show count of Housefull and Badmaash Company, will increase all over again, bringing in additional moolah.
As of now, Housefull has crossed the 75 crores mark and an extended run like this only makes its chances of touching the 80 crore mark brighter. Of course, it will have to hold on extremely well in weeks that follow because there is going to be a very strong competition next week in the form of Raajneeti.
On the other hand, Shahid Kapoor would have yet another film of his enjoying persistent business, just as was the case in Vivah and Jab We Met. With more than 30 crores in its kitty already, Badmaash Company would be aiming for 35 crores as the final milestone. One thing is for sure that the downfall of Kites has only added a few crores to the eventual total for these ventures by Sajid Nadiadwala and Yash Raj Films.

Kevin Millwood signed his $60 million, five-year contract Thursday with the Rangers.
'We are excited about what it means to our future, both short-term and long-term," general manager Jon Daniels said. "He adds something to our club that we sorely needed and will be a big part of what we're doing."
Spurned so often in their pursuit to acquire front-line pitching, including Josh Beckett and Matt Morris this year, the Rangers finally got the legitimate No. 1 starter they have been seeking. And they have changed their entire starting rotation since the start of last season.
Millwood was 9-11 with a 2.86 ERA that led the American League this year, his only season with Cleveland. The 31-year-old right-hander rejected a salary arbitration offer from the Indians, and also was pursued by Boston.
After being limited to 25 starts for Philadelphia because of elbow swelling in 2004, Millwood went to the Indians on a one-year deal.
"I felt as good last year as I did in '97 (as a rookie)," Millwood said. "I probably got more out of last year. Obviously, I wanted to show people that I was healthy, which I felt that I did."
In nine major league seasons, Millwood is 107-75 with a 3.76 ERA. He won at least 17 games in three of his six seasons with Atlanta (1997-2002) and was an All-Star in 1999. He pitched two seasons for Philadelphia before going last year to the Indians, who averaged only 3.6 runs in his starts — third-lowest among AL starters.
Now he'll pitch in front of a Rangers lineup that includes slugger Mark Teixeira, All-Star shortstop Michael Young and third baseman Hank Blalock, a two-time All-Star. Texas averaged 5.3 runs last season and hit a team-record 260 home runs to lead the major leagues.
"I'm pretty sure I'll get some runs," Millwood said. "I think the most exciting part is I don't have to pitch to them anymore."
Gone from the Texas rotation are Kenny Rogers, Ryan Drese, Chris Young, Chan Ho Park and Pedro Astacio— the starters out of spring training last year.
Former All-Star pitcher Vicente Padilla came to Texas last month from Philadelphia for pitcher Ricardo Rodriguez.
The Rangers still haven't formally announced the Dec. 20 trade in which they acquired right-hander Adam Eaton and reliever Akinori Otsuka from San Diego, a six-player deal that included Chris Young. The only delay is Otsuka's physical. He's in Japan.
"I wanted to go somewhere that wanted to win," Millwood said. "It's nice to see that they are doing a lot of things to make the team better. They are committed to making this team better, and that attracts you even more."
Texas can void the fifth year of the deal if Millwood doesn't pitch a certain number of innings in the earlier years of the contract. He passed two physicals this week before signing the contract.
Kameron Loe and Juan Dominguez were rookies who finished last season in the Rangers' rotation, and probably will fill the Nos. 4 and 5 spots.

The latest issue of Interview Magazine features a series of articles profiling its cover star, Lil Wayne. As a supplement, the magazine has also interviewed the hip-hop icon's young female rap protege, Nicki Minaj. Having received a considerable amount of support from Lil Wayne over the years, Nicki Minaj opens up about what it was like having her mentor sent off to prison and how she dealt with the absence.
On Wayne's going to prison:
That is something that was always at the forefront of my mind. You don't have to talk about it a lot, but… it was very surreal. It's still hard to believe that that really happened. But every time I spoke to him he was so positive. He'd be on the phone and like, instead of me cheering him up it's like he's doing the opposite, he's giving me like, the words, the wisdom.
On life without Wayne's mentorship:
I don't ever want to imagine that. I can't even imagine my career, um, my creative spirit without Wayne. I credit him with a lot of what I do. Prior to him, no one relevant in hip-hop really gave me that support. I feel like I'm still intertwined with him creatively.
Before I met Wayne, the person that was spearheading my career was the one person who always told me, "Don't be too playful, don't be too kooky and weird… no one's gonna feel that, nobody wants to hear that." So I stifled a lot of that early on, and then once that we parted ways, I was like, "Guess what, I'm gonna just be me."
On gender with Wayne:
Even though Wayne is my mentor, I've never gone to Wayne and asked him, "Hey Wayne, could you write me a rap?" That makes me just like one of the boys, you know? My work ethic is just like their work ethic, and I don't have to wait on them to tell me to what to say. And I think that's a big part of it.

New ZoneAlarm Suite Enters Beta Testing
today, checkpoint software launched a public beta for version 7 of the popular zonealarm internet security suite.
this version's antivirus component is powered by kaspersky labs (previously the suite used an antivirus engine from computer associates). according to checkpoint, kaspersky's hourly signature releases "ensure that users have the industry's most rapid protection against emerging attacks." the new av engine will catch more and more varied threats, yet signature updates remain small.
we've run version 6.5 of the zonealarm suite through the pc magazine wringer. click here to see how it did.
the osfirewall behavior-based protection, introduced in version 6, gains additional malware-mashing power. zaiss's smartdefense advisor feature automatically configures program control for hundreds of thousands of known applications. a pre-install system scan automatically configures access for known programs present on the system.
by default zaiss now starts in learning mode, which further cuts back on firewall confirmation popups. checkpoint also states that the antispyware protection is more robust and "provides an additional layer of defense against blended threats."
version 6.5 introduced a collection of local and web-based features for identity theft protectionversion 7 will add more power and flexibility to the web-based features. the beta testing phase should go on for 4 to 7 weeks, with final release planned before the end of this year. the price is expected to remain at $69.95.

McGrath out of third test
Page Tools
Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath has ruled himself out of playing in next week's third Test against England because of an ankle injury.
McGrath could not play in the second Test at Edgbaston after he rolled his ankle during a warm-up drill before the match and, with him out, England's batsmen plundered Australia's bowlers to post 407 in a remarkable day.
Marcus Trescothick (90), Andrew Flintoff (68) and Kevin Pietersen (71) all smashed half-centuries to signal England's all-out attack.
It was just the seventh time an Australian team had conceded 400 or more runs in a day of Test cricket.
A late shower prevented Australia from starting its innings against eight scheduled overs.
McGrath, 35, tore the ligament in his right ankle when he stepped on a cricket ball and his ankle gave way.
It happened as he and squad member Brad Haddin were throwing a rugby ball to each other 75 minutes before the match started.
The paceman ruled himself out of the third Test, at Old Trafford starting next Thursday, and said he was hopeful of playing in the fourth Test of the series, at Trent Bridge from August 25.
"To be optimistic, I'm confident that I can hopefully be right for Trent Bridge - that's what I'm aiming for," he said.
"It's just one of those things - a split second to do it and then I realised, I reckon before I hit the ground, that I was out for this Test match."
Physiotherapist Errol Alcott could not say how long McGrath would be sidelined and wanted to see if the fast bowler's injury improved over coming days.
"I'm not ruling anything out at the moment," Alcott said.
"I know Glenn's resilience and I know he's got that internal fortitude and he's well motivated - we've been through a lot together with his past injuries - so he's good to work with, so if the structure and the joint are going to let us do our stuff then hopefully it's sooner rather than later when he returns.
"At this stage the X-rays don't show any major bone problem, but it's an ankle that's seen a lot of action for years.
"So that environment in his ankle already can be upset by what's happened today, let alone just the ankle tearing ligaments and things like that."
It was 67 years ago when an Australian side was on the end of such a blistering batting performance, as England flew along at 5.13 runs an over and the batsmen struck a combined 10 sixes and 55 fours.
Everyone from Trescothick to No.11 Simon Jones attacked and no bowler was spared.
Brett Lee was clobbered for 1-111 from 17 overs and Shane Warne was left with nothing to do but doff his hat when the raucous Edgbaston crowd roared in delight as the legspinner conceded his 100th run.
Warne finished with 4-116 while Michael Kasprowicz took 3-80 after getting a late call-up to replace McGrath.

A trick ropin', whipcrackin' and gun-spinnin' performer from Tucson takes his Wild West talent to the Big Apple for his audition on "America's Got Talent," which airs Tuesday night.
The 28-year-old Loop Rawlins — don't ask his real name, even his mom calls him that — has been entertaining audiences with his high-energy performances since he was 14 years old.
His modern take on the Wild West arts incorporates fast-paced music with equally rapid rope tricks. He's known for being able to jump through "the world's smallest loop," and even incorporates a flaming rope into his routines.
Rawlins' first paying gig came at 14, when he landed a job doing a rope-trick act at Trail Dust Town as a preshow to the venue's gunfight re-enactments.
Throughout his career, Rawlins, a husband and father of two, has been a regular at Old Tucson Studios, Trail Dust Town, rodeos and music festivals. From 2009 to 2012, he performed a Western act in the "Viva Elvis" Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas.
Producers of "America's Got Talent" initially asked Rawlins to audition for the show in 2013, but he waited until this season. Competitors have the chance to win $1 million.
The Star chatted with Rawlins, who couldn't reveal details about the show, by phone a few days ago about his talent.
How did you get into trick roping?
My older brother was in the Tucson Boys Chorus ... so I just kind of followed my brother's footsteps and went into the chorus, but when I saw the trick roping (during the Western songs), I was really fascinated by the rope-spinning. I remember just thinking how awesome that was. So when I joined the chorus, I was not very interested in the singing part of it. So less than a year went by, and I quit the chorus. One of the parents of one of the other choristers also took an interest into the whole trick roping ... and we started a trick-roping group in Tucson. It was called the Cactus Cowboy Corral, and it's like a Will Rogers trick-roping group, and I joined that group when I was about 12.
What did you find fascinating about trick roping?
I just thought it was really visually impressive and there's something about it — it's almost like magical how the rope's just spinning. It's just a plain piece of rope and it's just spinning around and like rolling over your shoulder, and you can make it do all these things; it like has its own life about it. I was just really impressed by it. And I saw some of the more advanced trick ropers like in the chorus or in the group that were jumping through the rope. Trick roping is a difficult skill. Not that many people know how hard it is, but when I first started I thought, 'I'm never gonna be able to do those tricks like jumping through the rope because it's so hard.'
What is the most challenging part of trick roping?
I guess it's just keeping the rope going and making sure you don't get tangled in it, because it's just a flimsy piece of cotton rope. With other skills, like if you're doing juggling, you can juggle the balls and you can catch them and they stop. But with a rope, you can't stop a rope. It has to keep spinning; it always has to keep going. Just to keep it going is tough, and to make it look impressive, a lot of people give up with trick roping quickly because it's pretty difficult, and its not very rewarding.

ATI Launches Radeon Xpress 1250 for Intel Notebooks

AVIVO for integrated graphics
ATI has
officially launched its Radeon Xpress 1250 for Intel Notebooks
integrated graphics chipset for
Intel Pentium M, Celeron M, Core Solo and Core Duo
Radeon Xpress 1250 for Intel Notebooks
was previously known internally as
. This is ATI's first integrated graphic chipsets with AVIVO video processing capabilities. Using a Radeon X700 derived graphics core the Radeon Xpress 1250 for Intel Notebooks delivers full DirectX 9.0 compatibility with support for vertex and pixel shader 2.0. ATI doesn't mention the amount of available pixel or vertex shaders and core clock though.
The integrated AVIVO video processing engine provides hardware acceleration for MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 and WMV9. There's no mention what H.264 video resolutions the Radeon Xpress 1250 supports, though it may only be limited to 480p like the current Radeon X1300. HDMI 1.1 is supported natively with the Radeon Xpress 1250 for Intel Notebooks while
support requires a separate TMDS transmitter. With the proper TMDS transmitter a Radeon Xpress 1250 for Intel Notebooks solution can support HDMI 1.2. HDMI output capabilities include support for up to 1650Mbps/channel and a 165 MHz pixel clock rate.
In addition to HDMI other video output methods such as VGA and TV-out. There's also support for dual independent displays for multi-monitor goodness. An integrated TV encoder provides the TV-out capabilities. The internal TV encoder is based on ATI's Xilleon set top box solution and delivers Macrovision 7.1 copy protection with YPbPr component video output. Resolutions of 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p and 1080i are supported via component. DVI is also supported with an external TMDS transmitter much like HDMI support.
ATI's Radeon Xpress 1250 for Intel Notebooks uses a unified memory architecture which allocates some system memory for a video buffer. The minimum amount of allocated memory is 16MB while the maximum is 512MB. As far as system memory goes a maximum of 16GB of DDR2 is supported in 400, 533, 667 and 800 MHz flavors. There's no mention of dual-channel memory support though.
For manufacturers that wish to implement an external graphics card the Radeon Xpress 1250 for Intel Notebooks has one PCI Express x16 slot that's fully compliant with PCI Express 1.1a for expansion capabilities. ATI expects manufacturers to pair the Radeon Xpress 1250 with its SB600 south bridge for 10 USB 2.0, four SATA II, one ATA133 ports, high definition audio and PCI.
As the Radeon Xpress 1250 for Intel Notebooks is a notebook chipset it has plenty of power management features. Features such as ATI's PowerOnDemand, PowerExpress, PowerPlay and new PowerShift features are supported.
Availability of Radeon Xpress 1250 for Intel Notebooks is expected from NEC, though other manufactures might join NEC later on. The Radeon Xpress 1250 for Intel Notebooks is fully compliant with
Microsoft's Windows Vista Premium with aero glass interface
. A desktop variant is expected for
processors in the near future.

US One Dollar Gold Coins
The first one-dollar gold coin was issued in 1849, more than half a century after the Coinage Act of 1792 but just one year after gold was discovered in California. James B. Longacre designed the coins, which were issued in three Types between 1849 and 1856. Coins in the first Type were just 12.7 mm in diameter, smaller than a contemporary dime. The coin's size was increased to 14.3 mm in 1854.
The original Type 1 gold dollar featured a Liberty Head on one side and a wreath on the other. The most common Liberty Heads at that time were those minted in Philadelphia from 1851 to 1853, when almost 10 million coins were struck at that mint alone (some 12 million Type 1 coins were produced overall). But between 1859 and 1861, 8 million Liberty Heads were melted down so that the government could make other gold coins, which means that within a single decade, two-thirds of all Type 1 coins were lost.
Of the Liberty Heads, the rarest of the rare is undoubtedly the 1849C ("C" designates the mint in Charlotte, North Carolina) whose wreath on the coin's reverse side is open at the top. The most counterfeited Liberty Heads are those purporting to have been minted in Philadelphia in 1853.
In 1854, a larger, so-called Indian Princess Head dollar was introduced (as it turns out, the portrait is probably not of an Indian Princess, but the name stuck). The first of these, minted from 1854 to 1856, are known as Type 2 and are usually referred to as Small Indian Princess Heads to differentiate them from the Type 3 Indian Princess Heads struck between 1856 and 1889. Coins in this latter group featured a larger head on the coin's obverse, or front. All Type 2 coins are rare since they were only minted for three years in relatively low numbers.
Type 3 coins feature a very similar portrait on the front as the one on Type 2 coins, but it was enlarged and flattened to make the coin easier to strike. Of particular interest to collectors are the 1861 one-dollar gold coins minted in Dahlonega, Georgia. These were actually issued by the Confederacy after the Mint was seized. There is no accurate record of the number of coins struck, but some estimates put the number at as few as 1,250.
In addition to watching out for fakes (1853, 1854, 1855, and 1868 are the most commonly counterfeited years), gold-dollar coin collectors need to watch for evidence that a coin was used in jewelry. For a while, this was an especially popular practice with the original Liberty Heads. Look for solder marks, which dramatically decrease a coin's value.

Your Personal TTAL Photography Guide to Chicago - FULL DAY
Tour Through A Lens
Weekly Event - Every Monday Tuesday & Saturday: 8:00 AM to 11:30 PM (CDT)
Ticket Information
This event is invite-only
Check out other great events using Eventbrite.
Event Details
Many cities have personal tour guides to give you that one-on-one, customized experience when you're visiting a city. Chicago is no exception.
Tour Through A Lens is offering you the customized experience with the primary objective being to give you dedicated time to photograph this amazing city while helping you find those photograph-worthy locations without time wasted navigating a strange city with something called a 'grid system' and an 'L'.
The 'What?' and 'How?'
There won't be much talk about the many, many, many Chicago historical facts and this is not a day of technical specification talk on your camera. It is dedicated time for you to get out, with a guide who knows which train to have you get on and which direction the Lake is (hint: It's always East), and focus (pun intended) on your photos.
Sign up for a half day or full day tour. You will be asked some questions to help me get to know a little about you, your travel interests and your level of photography interest/experience. Based on that information, and likely a phone conversation prior to the tour, I will customize a day (or half day) where you are shown how to get to places that are of photograph interest...not just for tourists, but also to us locals.
NOTE: Eventbrite forces a START location, DATE and TIME. All of these will be customized to your tour date and desired tour. Times will vary based on sunrise/sunset time changes throughout the year. You may request adjusted times for morning or night people. Also option to add $10 CTA 1-Day Fun Pass for unlimited train/bus rides for the day's adventure, which I will bring for you.
The 'Why?'
Traveling to other places on my own, I learned not every place is designed for the solo traveler to enjoy. Going to dinner or attending a cultural event alone can be made to feel awkward; exploring a neighborhood with a camera can make others uneasy; not to mention, knowing where you should go, what you should see and how should you get there! Much of my solo traveling has consisted of me taking a wrong turn and ending up in the worst area in the place, having to safely find my way back out.
In my travels, I have also learned not many people are completely comfortable exploring a city on their own. At that, Chicago can seem slight
ly overwhelming for a first-time or solo visitor. Something I enjoy doing here in Chicago is helping people find things to do and experience the city as we live it, whether they're traveling solo or not. So this part of Tour Through A Lens is taking a bit of a different turn....as your private photo tour guide of Chicago!
I look forward to meeting you and showing you my city!

For hundreds of thousands of veterans, the result has been long waits for decisions, mishandled documents, confusing communications and infuriating mistakes in their claims.
Numbers tell the story. Last year, veterans filed more than 1.3 million claims, double the number in 2001. Despite having added nearly 4,000 new workers since 2008, the agency did not keep pace, completing less than 80 percent of its inventory.
This year, the agency has already completed more than one million claims for the third consecutive year. Yet it is still taking about eight months to process the average claim, two months longer than a decade ago. As of Monday, 890,000 pension and compensation claims were pending.
