Could you post a maximized view of Disk Managment? I suspect that you might have a 100MB System Reserved partition as part of the C: drive. If this partition has insuficient space it can adversely affect the creation of backups and system images. Has to do with creation of shadow copies, temp files, etc.

Gardenhire: Pavano is Opening Day starter
Gardenhire: Pavano is Opening Day starter
Gardenhire also said that if the rotation goes as currently planned, right-hander Scott Baker will be the club's starter in the home opener against the Angels on April 9 at Target Field.
Gardenhire said that he didn't even make the decision to go with Pavano on Opening Day, as it was pitching coach Rick Anderson who called him to make the decision.
Pavano, who along with Gardenhire was at the team's annual media luncheon Friday, said he's honored to make his second straight Opening Day start with the club, but joked that he heard about the decision through the media instead of from Gardenhire, who first told fans about the decision during a stop on Twins Caravan earlier this week.
Pavano, 36, posted a 4.30 ERA with 102 strikeouts and 40 walks allowed in 222 innings last year.

URBANA — A Rantoul man is due back in court on Feb. 19 in connection with a sexual assault last week in Rantoul.
Jeremy E. Davis, 22, who listed an address in the 1500 block of Par Drive, Rantoul, pleaded innocent on Monday to one count of criminal sexual assault.
According to a police report, Davis allegedly committed a forcible sex act with an 18-year-old woman who was in his home Thursday night.
Davis was reportedly intoxicated when the assault occurred. The woman promptly reported it to police and sought medical attention at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana but was not seriously physically injured.
Judge Richard Klaus set Davis' bond at $25,000.

Barack Obama did it. With Congress in recess, the United States president confirmed the appointment of several ambassadors, including the ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford, whose approval had been held up by the Senate. The decision is not only bound to anger Republicans, who now hold a majority in the House of Representatives, it also happens to be remarkably foolish. Let's go back to one of the leaked American diplomatic cables to bring home why. The cable, dated February 2009, was prepared by the US Embassy in Paris, and recounted a meeting with the French diplomatic troubleshooter, and former ambassador to Syria, Jean-Claude Cousseran, in which he discussed engaging Syria. The meeting took place a year after Cousseran and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner sought to facilitate the election of a Lebanese president once Emile Lahoud's term ended. The mediation effort failed because of Syrian intransigence, and Cousseran offered this advice to the Americans, according to Mark Pekala, the deputy chief of mission, who signed the cable: "[He] urged that Washington should 'get something tangible' from the Syrian regime. He cautioned that the Syrians were masters of avoiding any real concessions and were adept at showering visitors with wonderful atmospherics and delightful conversations before sending them away empty handed." This was very sound counsel, which Obama has basically ignored by dispatching Ford to Damascus for nothing tangible. The administration has yet to explain convincingly why it would willingly risk congressional ire in order to ram through an appointment that is bound to leave Washington empty-handed. In the cable, Pekala went on to report that Cousseran also cautioned Washington against over-reaching: "If the U.S. were to aim for something too difficult, such as urging Syria to sever its ties to Hamas or Hizballah, than [sic] it would get nowhere," the diplomat said. No doubt the French envoy was correct. There is a structural difficulty hindering better American-Syrian relations: Washington wants to engage Syria so that it will give up on alliances that the Syrians will never willingly surrender, because doing so would so weaken Damascus politically that it would defeat the very purpose of engagement. Syrian President Bashar Assad always wanted Obama to yield, but refused to offer anything substantial in return. By sending Ford, the president fell magnificently into the Syrian leader's trap. Against congressional opposition, the administration offered a lukewarm defense of Ford's appointment, with officials stating that it would allow Washington to get its message to Damascus more clearly. Nonsense. There are plenty of ways to transmit messages to Syria without legitimizing the fact that in the five years since the previous ambassador was withdrawn, following the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, the Assad regime has not budged on issues the US considers important—whether Lebanon, inter-Palestinian affairs, Iraq, Syrian cooperation with Iran and Hezbollah, and negotiations with Israel. But worse, if Cousseran is right, namely that the US must not overreach by asking Syria to cut its ties to Hezbollah and Hamas, that only begs the question: What is the Obama administration entitled to ask of Syria? No explicit answer whatsoever has come out of the White House and State Department. And with uncertainty filling the thick Potomac air, what is Washington's broader Syria strategy anyway? If Ford is a mailbox, what specific ideas will he be relaying? There really are none. Obama has a wish list. He still hopes for a breakthrough in Arab-Israeli negotiations, and wants someone in Damascus to ease the process. But the president has done things in reverse. He should have sent Ford to Syria in exchange for a solid concession from Assad—perhaps Syrian acceptance of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections, which Damascus has refused to sanction; or maybe Syrian consent to the return of direct negotiations with Israel; or at least participation in a high-profile event that would help inject life into the Syrian-Israeli talks. The problem is that neither Syria nor Israel is keen to engage in bilateral moves, because the Syrian-Israeli track is moribund. Alive or dead, it made no sense for Obama to throw away a card he should have made Syria pay for. It is not as if the US is unaware of Syrian intentions. Last week, an American official issued a pointed warning to Syria and Saudi Arabia that they should not reach any accord over Lebanon that might undermine the tribunal formed to indentify and punish Rafik Hariri's killers. Syria has fought tooth and nail to obstruct the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, which Washington supports, and recently intensified those efforts. And yet at the same moment, Obama sends Ford to Damascus, as if to say that whatever the Assad regime does, even taking measures that America opposes, it will be rewarded. Obama would answer that he had a small window of opportunity in which to put Ford on a flight to Syria, before Congress reconvened, so he took his shot. A laudable rationale for an important decision: Let time pressures, and sneakiness, guide your foreign policy. Here's a wager: Ford will cool his heels in Damascus without achieving much, because Assad got what he wanted, and is now in a position to stall Washington interminably. He won't have to forfeit anything, because Obama has not a clue about what he really expects from Syria.

Remember Me
Am surprized that no one is considering that this might be linked to something bigger than a mere act of good-will from the US government. It seems that now the US has a stronger team of ambassadors in the region, between the lebanese, Jordanian, Turkish, Iraqi, Saudi, american ambassadors, they can coordinate and convey the US foreign policy point of view better. STL is about to issue a draft indictments, this is another reason why an american presence on the ground is better. president Abass is about to announce the Palestinian State, yet another reason. A high diplomatic US presence in Syria could be essential at this time, if not critical. The region is at the brink of a shake up, and Syria is an important player.
January 4, 2011
well who cares if obama niminated an ambassador or not the real thing going on is that israel approved it and israel put lot of pressure and plead to georges w bush to not touch the syrian regime because it was planned by bush to change the regime after invading iraq they want the assads family to govern syria they are the allied of israel better not to put syria in any other regime . and beside obama he could not foul me i did not vote for him he lied at the american people . did not and will not deliver what he promised and he will lose by a big margin in 2012 to any republican , but at the same time it was helpfull to have him a president for 4 years due to erase the racism in united states
I agree with Mr Young on this analysis. World diplomacy and US laws are not the same thing which is what most commentors here fail to see. If Syria is innocent before proven guiltly then by who's laws would this be applicable, Syria's or the USA's. We do not have a global government ruled by the USA or the UN. When engaged in diplomacy even with regimes like Syria you have to weigh the outcomes of every action you engage them in. What Obama would see as common sense other nations might see as weakness and could lead them to take actions against US interests that otherwise they wouldn't have taken. Get off this global government kick because it does no exist.
January 3, 2011
Oh Mr. Young,
Where should I start? Hmm, Let's first ignore the fact that pulling the US ambassador from Damascus was a knee-jerk reaction in the first place. US law says anyone is innocent until proven guilty, yet it didn't take them 48 hours to withdraw the ambassador and here we are 5 years later with no damning evidence, but only a highly politicized tribunal and some fake witnesses. The burden of proof shouldn't be on Syria to demonstrate her innocence, but on who ever is accusing Damscus of the crime to show proof.
Also, you said that in 5 years [with no ambassador] Syria hasn't budged on any of the key issues. Your proposed solution: let's keep doing the same things we've been doing for the past 5 years. Yes. Perfect. That should definitely work.
The fact of the matter is, the further the US pulls away from Damscus, the more Damascus will find new friends. Turkey and Iran have great ties with Syria now. China, Europe are playing nice as well. US only hurt its interests.

Dear Young
it is important to have a continous dialogue. a presence of an ambassador will clarify the picture that was destorted by neocon and media reports that have their own agenda not necessary the best interest of Lebanon or USA
Let's face the inconvenient truth:
Obama is a .... in a suit!
December 31, 2010
Mr. Young, I wonder if you are aware of how few countries world wide lack an Ambassador as chief of mission in their US Embassy?
The regrettable truth is the US has a wide variety of interests in Syria. Syria's role in Lebanon is not on top of that list, nor in my opinion should the restart of bi-lateral talks with Israel be near the top o that list, though I fear it may be.
There is a reason we have ambassadors in myriad countries with unsavory regimes across the world. We don't use their presence in those countries solely as a bargaining chip, nor should we do so in Syria.
No wonder what Obama does. The syrian regime is vital to the existance and security of the state of Israel. Israel itself defended and put a lot of pressure on Goerge Bush to make him change his mind on the idea of changing thr syrian regime due to the fact that Israel needs this regime to stay in power after years and years of protecting and securing the border of Israel. I do not expect any American administration to do the opposite as long as the state of Israel is the priority in their foreign policy
December 30, 2010
Obama is a darker version of Jimmy Carter who was arguably the most unsecure and indecisive President the US had since WW2 (yes, beats Nixon & Ford too). But after Carter, we had Reagan... Sarah Palin's hero. Would be curious to know what are the odds with the bookies on a one-term presidency.

Six Reasons Why We Should All Go to China Right Now
China is a fascinating country in which to travel. However, I am not going to lie and say it will ever be my favourite destination; it is a tough country to travel in. There were times that I absolutely loved it and others when I was wondering what on earth I was doing there. However, I do think it is somewhere that everyone should travel to at least once. As one of the world's largest countries, it isn't somewhere that you can see all in one trip, but you should go soon as some of the history and culture is being lost to Western modernisation. There are some amazing landscapes, incredible sites and unique cultural experiences that you will never forget.

The increasingly bitter row between former FIA president Max Mosley and Flavio Briatore has taken another twist with Mosley delivering a stinging broadside at the disgraced former Renault boss.
Briatore was slapped with an indefinite ban from motorsport for his part in the Crashgate scandal, a decision he is currently appealing. But he told a hearing in Paris last month that he had been punished because Mosley was "being blinded by an excessive desire for personal revenge". He also accused the FIA of breaching "the most basic rules of procedure and the rights to a fair trial".
Mosley, reacting to the publication earlier this week in a newspaper of what he described as leaked documents relating to the appeal hearing, launched a savage counter attack.
"He was given every opportunity to put his side of the story, but he chose not to submit himself to scrutiny," Mosley said. "Briatore should be the last person to complain the FIA have not treated him fairly. The FIA have repeatedly given him the benefit of the doubt. It did so when prohibited software was found in a car under his control; again when a component was removed from his team's refuelling equipment; again when his team failed to declare properly the purpose of a particular suspension component, and most recently when they were caught with information illicitly acquired from another team.
"Each time his team was caught, the FIA accepted Briatore's claim that he was not involved. It believed his usual story was that he was not technical and that a 'junior member' of the team (who has been appropriately dealt with) was responsible. This time, however, it was different. There was overwhelming evidence he was directly involved in ordering Nelson Piquet Jnr to crash.
"[The FIA] inquiry, like Renault's own investigation, established Briatore's responsibility beyond question. The suggestion that all this was somehow manufactured for reasons of personal vengeance is a desperate and unsustainable argument."
Mosley also denied there was long-standing bad blood between the pair after a dispute between the FIA and the Formula One Teams' Association. "There was absolutely no rancour on my part towards him … we often spoke and had a friendly lunch together in Monaco shortly after the dispute was settled."
He concluded by claiming that the newspaper article was an attempt to "distract attention from his key role in one of the worst and most dangerous examples of cheating in the history of sport".

Nintendo Enters a World of Riddles With Professor Layton and the Curious Village
February 11, 2008
Nintendo Enters a World of Riddles With Professor Layton and the Curious Village
Unravel Mystery, Secrets and Brainteasers in a New Nintendo DS Treasure Hunt
Move over, Sherlock Holmes! There's a new Brit in town. The Feb. 10 launch of Professor Layton and the Curious Village(TM) brings a world of riddles, secrets and brainteasers to the portable Nintendo DS(TM). The puzzle-filled game provides hours of mind-bending game play, thick story plots, funny, eccentric characters and a double murder-mystery
In the curious village of St. Mystere, a wealthy baron passes away. His will reveals that a treasure is hidden someplace inside the village. Unable to locate the treasure, the baron's family calls upon renowned archaeologist and puzzle expert Professor Layton for help. Upon his arrival, the search for the treasure is interrupted by the suspicious death of another member of the family. Now with two mysteries on his hands, Professor Layton must work his way through the village's many challenges to get to the truth.
"Professor Layton and the Curious Village combines a mix of clever storyline and brainy twists," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales & marketing. "Like the Brain Age titles before it, this new puzzle genre requires players to use their minds as much as their thumbs. The strong story, charming hand-drawn animation and fully voiced movies appeal to hard-core gamers and casual gamers alike."
Players will tackle brain twisters ranging from mazes and riddles to logic and sliding puzzles as Professor Layton progresses through an engaging 19th century anime-styled mystery. Touch-screen controls make working through the game a snap for players of all skill levels. What's more, for a limited time new puzzles will be available weekly for download via Nintendo(R) Wi-Fi Connection for extended replay value. The Professor Layton series is already a smash hit in Japan, where each succeeding game outsold the one before it. For more information about the U.S. game, visit http://www.ProfessorLaytonDS.com.

Thefabricfi. is. preferably a, square woven fabric and, the coating. composition 9 may be of synthetic rubber ornatural. rubber having .a .fiurther, coating ll l of .a material resistant .to .thecell contents. Variations. in the fabric and .thecoating may bemade as desired.
The seams 6 .are formed exteriorly .of the .main bodyof thecell by. having the. .faces of the contiguous. coatings .9 and I!) extend outwardlyof thecell in engagement with each other at the cell corner. These surfacesmay be treated yvitha bonding adhesive, tocause adhesion; when .the cellis cured, or they maybe vulcanized .directly. .together. .Reinforcing stitching ,l'l ;is passed through the seams externally of the cell.
For adding stabilityto the cell and for plosing anyseam 6,.a flange or angle piece ll ,of natural rubber or synthetic. rubber, depending on the nature of the cell contents, is placed within the cell behind the seam li and permais mounted.
3 nently secured to the coating layer l durin the cell curing or vulcanizing step.
In the manufacture of the cell, a destructible form is provided about which the strips I and 2 are shaped. Before shaping the strips l and 2, the angle pieces (2 are placed on the form at the corners thereof so that they are in position when the seams are completed. The seams and 1 are of a similar construction.
Referring to Fig. 8, provision is made at some corners of the cell for admitting a sewing machine or a trimming machine by terminating the seam flanges beforev they meet and reinforcing the cell corner with a. pad or cover I4. In
this construction the seamed edges may be read ily trimmed and sewed.
Our cell eliminates much of the labor and care heretofore involved in making lapped seams where auxiliary sealing means had to be applied over the edges of the fabric to prevent capillary attraction and in addition the seams of the present invention are stronger and more reliable.
The seam flanges add a certain amount of staseams necessary to join the top edges of the strips 2 of Fig. l to the strips I.
On mounting such containers in their supporting structures they are frequently placed inside a metal container or casing l5 which is previously inserted in a, cavity in a structural frame work I 6 of the machine in which the cell In the drawings, the structural frame work it is illustrated as a portion Of the wing surface of an airplane and comprises a lower wing surface l1, a lower bracing section IS, an upper bracing section 19 and an upper wing surface 2!). It is to be understood that the structure IE may provide a plurality of cavities in which the casings l5, usually of different sizes and shapes, may be inserted.
For placing the cell in the casing 15 a section 2 2! of the bracing structure 13 is made removable to provide an opening which is ultimately covered by the metal of the wing surface l1.
Above the removable section 2|, the casing I5 is provided with a removable plate 22 which is secured to the remainder of the casing by screws 23, threaded in plates 24. The cell is provided with a service or manhole plate 25 which is seworking through the opening can reach substantially all parts of the interior of the cell.
. In the case of large cells the plate 25 and the fitting 26 may be made large enough to permit the operator to enter the cell.
. The cell is also provided with one or more fittings 21 for the attachmentof an outlet pipe, not shown, and a fitting 28 for the attachment of a vent, not shown.
For securing the cell walls to the frame work 4 l6, we have provided quickly attachable and detachable securing means which can be manipulated from the interior of the cell either by an operator reaching through the opening in the fitting 26 or by entering the cell, as may be necessary. In either case, the operator can manipulate the fastening means from the interior of the cell into a cooperative engagement with complementary securing means attached to the frame ring 36 extend outwardly of the cell.
several of the fastening means 3| are disposed about the upper surface of the cell and each includes a handle 29 extending into the cell. Each handle 29 is provided with a pin 32 having a neck 33 and button 34. The neck 33 extends through a plate 35 from which spring fingers or a, split A male button 31 is secured radially inwardly of the fingers 35 to provide a channel38 for a wire C-ring 39. A covering 40 of a suitable plastic material such as synthetic rubber encases the outer part of the pin 32 and provides the gripping surface of the handle 29. The covering 40 is bonded to the pin 32 and the lower face of the plate 35. The coating 40 extends radially outwardly as a tapered disc or flange 4| which also overlaps a portion of the upper face of the plate 35 and terminates a distance from the split fingers 35 to permit the latter to have flexing movement. However, the coating 40 and the flange 4i seal the fastener fingers from the contents of the cell. The fabric 8 and the coating composition 9 are attached to the flange 4|, but termiof the handles 29 and the attached fingers 36 and button 31 there is provided an openings 42 in the casing l5. A plate '43 having a depending female spring button 44 internally carrying 0- ring 39 is positioned over each opening 42 and a cap piece 45 is placed over each plate 43, and secured in position by rivets 46. The plate 43 is of less diameter than the inner diameter of the cap piece 45 so that the plate 43 is capable of considerable lateral adjustment in the opening 42 to permit limited. adjustment of the position of the button 44. The button 44 is aligned to pass between the fingers 36 and the button 31 and to snap the ring 39 behind the head of the spring button 31. The construction just described provides a snap button construction by which the handle 29 may be quickly secured to the plate 43, or detached therefrom by an operator working from within the cell.
Referring to Figs. 5, 6, 10, and 11, each handle 3!] comprises a pin 50 having an outer button 5|, a neck 52, a flange 53, and a recess 54 for the reception of a plate 55. The flange 53 and the plate 55, as well as the inwardly extending end of the pin 50, are covered by and bonded to a coating composition, such as synthetic rubber, terminating in a tapering flange to which the fabric 8 is attached in the manner set forth in the description of Fig. 9. The button 5! is adapted to sit in a bayonet slot 56 formed in the casing smas es position. The'spiing -T-'is 'proifidedwiii'th a-tl'etent ""fifl for engaging a 'recess 59-at the end "of -the pm .c'icellawall-and 2the2spring-ii5z1 .-In.. order":to release the fastening means, the handle SBEL-EiSLIIa-iSEd against -.the ifrictiontxof -the springcliil until the flange .5l can be withdrawn through the enlarged portion of the opening 56.

In some 'ce'll' "structures, irregularities "in "the shape of the plane wings or cells of large sizes render it advisable to use a bracing device at the bottom of the cells in order to prevent shifting of portions of the cell walls relative to the plane structure, whereby the cell is normally held in extended position to substantially conform to the size of the Opening in the plane.
In Figs. 12 to 15 we have shown such construction in which a frame 66 preferably comprising perforated pipe sections 6!, 62, 63, and 64 are joined together by rubber plugs 65, 66, 61, and 68 which are inserted in the adjacent ends with the pipe sections. The frame is held in position by tabs 69 which are bonded to the corner strips l2 and the cell corners l3. Tapes 10 are secured to the tabs 69 as by stitching H to provide free ends which can be brought over the pipe sections and. tied as shown at 12 in Figs. 12 and 15.
The perforations 13 in the pipe sections permit the cell contents to flll and escape therefrom so that the capacity of the cell is not materially reduced and there is no buoyant effect produced by the pipe sections.
In assembling the frame 66 in the cell the sections :are first bent at either of the plugs 65, 61 or 66, 68, depending upon the size and shape of the cell, and then the collapsed frame inserted through the manhole. The frame 60 is next tied in the bottom of the cell, as illustrated in Figs. 12 and 15.
This construction has a further advantage in that it does not restrain the lower part of the tank with respect to the airplane structure so that a considerable amount of deformation of the cell may take place in a crash.
It will thus be seen that we have provided improvements in the construction of seams of such cells and in the means for fastening the cells to the supporting structure.
While we have shown and described certain preferred embodiments of our invention, it is to be understood that the invention may be otherwise modified within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Taos Feral Feline Friends, Ranchos De Taos, NM, USA
I would like to thank Leanne Mitchell and TFFF for all her hard work and dedication. When I first heard about Leanne and TFFF I was very apprehensive about contacting her. Because I didn't know what would happen to all these cats. Would they be put to sleep? I didn't know. All I knew was that was not good. But when I met Leanne and she explained how the trap and release program worked I was so happy and grateful . I couldn't believe it ! Leanne loaned me a trap and carrier then showed me how to set the trap, all I had to do was take them in to be spayed or neutered . The best thing was I was able to bring all the cats back and release them into the same area. Now I have a healthy and happy colony. No more fighting or unwanted kittens. I really like that TFFF has a NO KILL policy, that was very important to me. Again Thank you Leanne and TFFF I appreciate everything you have done for all the cats in Taos county. Keep up all the good work! Pat Iko

Sometimes in baseball, pitchers throw the ball at batters. This happens. You get a base and a bruise out of it, and you move on with your life. A dirty look aimed at the pitcher, perhaps along with some choice words, is also an acceptable course of action. But you never, ever throw your bat at the pitcher.
In a college summer league game between the California Warriors and the Humboldt Crabs, exactly that happened. Check it out:
Although the video quality is horrendous, you can tell that the batter threw his bat pretty damn hard towards the mound. He missed, so the pitcher is fine, but that's really dangerous and I'd be surprised if a suspension or discipline of some sort isn't forthcoming.
In other news, they're teaching players how to pretend to fight at a pretty young age now. They did a good job selling the anger after they cleared the benches. I felt the fake tension in the air.

The first 10 minutes you hate yourself. The second 10 you hate your instructor. The third 10 you dodge blackout.
But the next 30 minutes you somehow focus on the finish line, pedaling madly into Athens, up Baxter Hill, then back to the beginning of the hour-long sweat fest.
Yet, you never move an inch as a first-time spinner.
"You can push yourself as hard as you want to be pushed," said Aimee Driver, a routine spin class participant. "It's really a matter of how hard you want to make yourself work."
Driver joined stationary cycling classes last fall as a way to avoid bicycling outdoors during the cold winter months. She has continued to do so at least once a week at GeorgiaCycle Sport.
There, she expects a tough instructor, high-energy music and a hard-driving routine.
"It's more intimidating when you've never done it and you think about it," Driver said. "You've got to have someone else with you to push you a little harder."
Where to spin
Some popular places to join spin classes are Georgia Cycle Sport, the YMCA Athens and The Omni Club. Membership rules may apply for fitness centers.
Benefits of spin
The low-impact workout is kinder to the joints and flexible enough to accommodate a person's fitness level because of resistance levels. A 40-minute spin session can lead an average person to burn 500 calories. Strength training leg muscles is also a benefit of such workouts.
Spin cycling classes have remained a popular group exercise option since their advent nationally around 1999.
Barbara Bushman, who is a professor in the department of health, physical education and recreation at Missouri State University, credits the continued momentum to both physical and psychological appeal.
The workouts are high-energy, strengthen cardiovascular fitness and burn calories. Yet, people with different levels of physical fitness can adjust degrees of difficulty, or resistance, without falling behind or standing out in the pack.
"It can be made relative to each individual, which makes it really fun," Bushman said. "No one feels like they stick out. You really can't tell if someone is just beginning. There is that comfort level, feeling that everyone is part of the group."
Entertainment value, an unusual byproduct of sweat-driven workouts, is also an attraction, Bushman said.
In many classes, the music blares. The lights dim. The instructor hops on the bike and sets the scene.
Bushman, who is also a fellow with the American College of Sports Medicine, has taken classes taught by master trainers who transport her imagination to completely different terrain. She has bicycled through jungles and out of sand dunes made up by instructors in fitness centers.
"They were just amazing with the stories they told," Bushman said. "When I was finished, I thought, 'Man, that was a great workout and it was so fun.' "
Joel Porquez explains it as "associating and disassociating their pain." He attempts to do the same thing for his clients in Athens, where he has taught spin for about five years.
"Hammer it to the mailbox," he said, raising his body on his bike and his voice into his headset mic at Georgia Cycle.
Get back at that guy who cut you off in traffic, he shouts, and climb up that hill.
You're almost home.
"Sometimes I say stuff to help them in the moment," Porquez explained, later. "At the same time I'm watching them. If they are pushing themselves too hard, that's when I get off the bike and say, 'You're doing great but...'"
He sizes up his audience ahead of time to gauge experience levels of those participating in his classes.
In the winter, the crowds are often experienced cyclists looking to avoid cold weather and slick roads. For them, he may lead drills, laps, sprint intervals and jumps they'd ordinarily do in training.
If people seem to be new to spin, Porquez may work harder to help them visualize their terrain.
"The best compliment I can get is, 'Time went by fast,' " said Porquez, who uses both his military and medical background to guide him in crafting workouts. "Which goes back to work doesn't seem like work. Sixty (minutes) seemed like 20 minutes."
In Athens, he has noticed his followers have matured from mostly college-aged to older men and women. Runners with joint problems also seem taken with spin, he said, because it is considered to have a lower impact on the body.
That's one of the reasons Rider, who had trouble with her feet, searched out spin classes last fall. Since then she has shed a number of pounds while also picking up an interest in triathlons.
Now cycling in spin class is one more way to help her train.
Like any other exercise, she said it's what you put into your ride that makes the difference.
"There are some people who don't work as hard as others and you can tell," Rider said. "We're completely soaked."

Metro Manila in Wikimapia and Google Earth – Navigate Conveniently
AlieNETed Change: Go to places you've never been before by using Google Earth or Wikimapia. No more road maps and the Ins and Outs of Metro Manila guide book.
Navigation in 7,107 island can be a pain especially if you are a interested to go to different places. Well as for me I am only confined in Metro Manila so I am very keen in knowing the streets and roads leading to places. Previously, I would use the Ins and Outs of Metro Manila handbook to get familiarized with a location if I need to go to a specific place. I am a mostly Northern creature so the places that I am familiar with are Fairview, Lagro Grotto, Bagong Silang, Whole of Quezon City, some parts of Manila (Quiapo, Hidalgo, City Hall, Roxas Boulevard), Mall of Asia, Malinta in Valenzuela and some parts of Ortigas and Cubao areas. Other than those place I'd be a lost soul. Now, there was a time when I need to pick up an item in Mayon District in the border of Quezon City and Manila and I was not really familiar with the place. What did I do? Well Wikimapia!
It is so amazing to see real pictures of locations from a bird's eye view. Of course you already know that Wikimapia have some other
navigation features like street names and establishment names (contributed by users).
This worked out because I have already seen the map prior to going to the place. So I made sure to memorize the path that I was going to trek since I cannot bring my desktop computer when traveling, hello. I do not even want to bring along my laptop. So one drawback of this electronic navigation map is that you have to be online to browse through the site. But then again you may also try using your 3.5G phone and connect to the internet but I don't suggest it since phone screens are too limited and you cannot probably download the map images as fast as a desktop PC would.
So the next time you go to unfamiliar places, check them out first using Wikimapia or Google Earth. It will save you time and energy.

Very interesting interview with Angus Deaton. If you're open to suggestions, I recommend you interviewing an economist named David McWilliams. You'll find his website and content via Google/twitter. He was voted the most influential economist in the UK & Ireland for 2015. Like yourself, he explains complex topics simply and without the bullshit. I think your audience would enjoy.
By the way, your books and podcast have added huge value to my goal of becoming personally sovereign. I'm an investor in Dunn and Mulvaney due to your teachings.
Keep up the great work,

A moderate solar flare measuring M1.9 was registered on May 12, 2013. The source of event was a region located on the eastern side and about to rotate into Earth's view. This event peaked at 20:31 UTC.
In early hours of May 12, 2013 an unstable filament of magnetism on the Earth side of the Sun erupted hurling part of itself into space. A bright Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was recorded emerging from the blast and it could deliver a slight, glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field on May 15. (Solar prominence vs. Solar filament here.)

In the film Redmayne is frequently paired with two major musical veterans-- Aaron Tveit, who plays fellow revolutionary Enjorlas, and Barks, who played Eponine on the West End before shooting the film. But Redmayne says the blessing of the film was how unfamiliar the entire group was with shooting a movie musical, especially one in which they were asked to sing live on set:
The extraordinary thing about this project is none of us really knew what we were doing. It was the theater world and film world meeting on this process that felt unique to all of us. None of us knew the right answer. The most leveling and bonding thing was on day one, we'd all gone through a rigorous audition process to get the parts. On day one it was like "Annie, how are you going to do that?" We asked each other for advice and never felt like we had the answer.
Of course, those doubts never come through on the screen, for Redmayne or anyone else. Multiple people who have seen Les Mis both on stage and screen say they never cared about Marius in the stage version, but on screen Redmayne makes him feel real and alive-- his version of "Empty Chairs and Empty Tables" is the film's biggest showstopper after Hathaway's "I Dreamed A Dream." And with the benefit of film we see more of Marius's struggles on the barricade, from close moments between him and his fellow revolutionaries to Jean Valjean's heroic efforts to rescue Marius from the battle. Like any actor Redmayne valued the challenge but…. "It was such rigorous shooting process, and fueled by passion, but my god there were hard days. The way Tom likes to work is he likes to create real scenarios. Hugh was carrying me through disgusting sewer stuff." He credits the arrival of Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter with lightening the mood: "Three-quarters of the way in, Helena and Sacha arrived, and it was just this lightness that, my god, we needed."
Since last year's My Week With Marilyn Redmayne has seen his profile in the industry change, and with news that he could be taking a role in the massive sci-fi project Jupiter Ascending opposite Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis, it's obvious that many more people are now paying attention to the actor who kicked off his Hollywood career playing a young man in an incestuous relationship with his mother (Julianne Moore). He admits that bold move, plus his attachment to theater, may have kept people from seeing his range, but that shouldn't be anything he has to worry about anymore. And if he remains the deeply empathetic actor who tears up talking about his work and is careful to thank the piano accompanists (Roger Davison and Jennifer Whyte) whose work is never even heard in the film, he ought to have no trouble winning over more fans who are even more awestruck by him than I am.

Golden Joins Senate Passage Of Nixzmary's Law
ALBANY- In a continuing effort to protect New York's innocent children from being victims of violent child abusers, the New York State Senate will passed "Nixzmary's Law," a bill that would require a sentence of life without parole for parents or guardians who kill a child. The legislation is sponsored by Senator Mary Lou Rath and Senator Serphin Maltese along with Senator Martin Golden (R-C, Brooklyn) and Senator Frank Padavan.
The bill (S.675A) is named after Nixzmary Brown, a seven-year-old Brooklyn girl who was brutally beaten and left for dead last year. Her mother and stepfather were charged with her murder. This legislation would create the crime of aggravated murder of a child and mandate a sentence of life without parole for the parent, guardian or other person in a position of trust, who abuses and tortures a child under the age of 14, causing the death of the child or intentionally causes the death of a child.
"Everyone in the State was shocked and horrified by the brutal, tragic death of Nixzmary Brown," Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno said. "This bill would close a loophole that allows violent child abusers to escape life without parole when they cause the death of a child. In Nixzmary's case, the murderers could be eligible for parole after serving only 15 years in prison. This bill recognizes that the crimes committed against Nixzmary were so atrocious and depraved that the killers should never be allowed out of prison."
Existing law mandates the sentence of life without parole for the death of a child less than 14 years of age only in those cases when a person 18 years of age or more commits the crime while committing a felony sex crime against the child. In all other cases, a person who tortures and abuses a child, causing the child's death, or intentionally causes the death of a child, can be paroled after serving a minimum term, no matter how horrific the crime.
"The tragic death of Nixzmary Brown highlights the need to insure that for the animals who commit these most heinous crimes, against our children, they face nothing less than life without parole," Senator Marty Golden, a former New York City Police Officer stated, "There is no place in society for individuals who have no value for human life, and so, we must act and make law this legislation that will serve as both a deterrent and as fair punishment."
"Murder is abhorrent," Senator Golden continued. "Taking a life shows a lack of respect for life. Taking a child's life is even more abhorrent. However, even more reprehensible is when the innocence of a child is snuffed away by someone they trust, such as a parent or guardian, who abuses and tortures that child to death. To think a murderer could be so vile as to prey on the innocence of a child and still be allowed parole is unthinkable."
The bill was sent to the Assembly.

School Catalog (contains dates, prices, and application)
KCFitnesslink is a registered Yoga School (RYS) with the Yoga Alliance offering yoga teacher training certification, yoga therapy teacher training certification and Ayurveda certification training. We offer entry programs in Hatha, Vinyasa and Power Yoga from 200 hours to a full 1500 hour Yoga Therapist/Holistic Health Practitioner program. Being a Registered Yoga School acknowledges that the our training program meets standards for curriculum developed by Yoga Alliance and that training is conducted by qualified instructors.
Our catalog contains information about costs, faculty, scholarships and grants, the full dates and academic calendar as well as program requirements and books used.
Our Yoga Teacher Training Certification Approach and Philosophy:
- Non-dogmatic: We de-emphasize the "right" way to approach yoga techniques. Instead, we promote teachers to help students find the best methods for them using intuition, self-study, flexibility and trial and error.
- Physical and spiritual: Our program combines a nice mixture of physical and spiritual aspects of yoga. We recognize there are different teaching styles, comfort levels and reasons why we practice and teach yoga. Everyone is unique. Some teachers may be more physically oriented, others may approach teaching more spiritually. Neither method is right or wrong.
- Personalized: Our yoga teacher training certification program is based on developing your unique style and strong understanding of yoga class elements, not rote memorization of sequences. With out training, you'll be able to design a variety of safe, effective and inspiring classes.
- Small class sizes: We use a small student to teacher ratio. We have a minimum of 4 students and generally a max of 10 students in each training. This allows for personal attention and feedback during the training and the small classes promote a cohesive, family-like environment.
Yoga Teacher Training Certification Delivery Options:
We offer the training in two live formats , one online format and one hybrid format.
- Two week yoga intensives: Two week intensives are in a Monday-Friday, 8-5 p.m. format, with about 2-4 hours pf personal study and homework each night. Of all formats, we recommend this experience. It's transformative on many levels: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We live and breathe yoga for two weeks. Prior to starting the intensive students complete a mini online yoga course in yoga and preparatory course in anatomy.
- Online Yoga Certification: The online yoga course is the same curriculum as our live classes, except it is delivered online through our learning management system, EDU 2.0. (This option is not Yoga Alliance Approved as it does NOT meet face to face contact hours).
- Hybrid Bridge Program: The online yoga certification can be combined with live training and a few additional requirements to meet Yoga Alliance needs. This option requires contact hours with the E-RYT instructor through personal one-one-one classes, mentoring and assisting. Tuition for the bridge class does not cover one-one-one contact hours with the E-RYT instructor. This is a separate charge per hour.
Yoga Teacher Training Certification Program Options:
- 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training: Our entry level and foundational program that covers the basics of yoga, meditation and teaching Hatha, Power and Vinyasa yoga.
- 300 hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training: our advanced yoga training that combines with our 200 hour program or equivalent program for 500 hours recognition with Yoga Alliance. The program is not an advanced asana class; rather, the focus is on the deeper dimensions of yoga. It explores yoga philosophy from Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Upanishads. This course also covers special populations: children's yoga, pre–natal yoga, yoga for the elderly and yoga for sports performance.
- 200 hour Yoga Therapy Certification: Our yoga therapy program is for non-apparently healthy populations (those with known disease or signs and symptoms of disease). It combines western medicine with yoga and Ayurveda to improve health status, manage symptoms and promote healing. Our program emphasizes several tools including Yoga Nidra, chair yoga, restorative yoga, meditation and Ayurveda. There are two levels and each level is 200 hours.
- 1500 hour Yoga Therapist Certification: This is a culmination of 200 yoga certification, 300 hour yoga certification, 200 Hour Yoga Therapy Certification levels I and II, along with anatomy, Ayurveda, business and practicum hours.
- 60 hour Ayurveda Training: This intensive is a introduction to Ayurvedic health coaching. It helps you coach students on nutrition, lifestyle and routine, yoga, meditation and cleansing practices.

NEW YORK (AP) — The start of the NBA season was thrown into doubt Tuesday after players and owners made no progress at a key labor meeting, with no further talks scheduled.
Union executive director Billy Hunter says players were prepared to make a "significant" financial move, but found owners unwilling to budge off their positions.
Union president Derek Fisher of the Lakers said he will tell players that "the way it looks right now we may not start on time."
Fisher added that "we can't find a place with the league and our owners where we can reach a deal sooner rather than later."
The two sides had initially planned to meet again on Wednesday.

Ways to beat the heat becoming hot commodities
Frank Schultz
Store Manager Bryan Krueger said the last of their window air conditioning units sold at about 10:30 Tuesday morning.
�We are all sold out, and we are having a hard time finding any more units because of the hot weather across the Midwest,� Krueger said. �There is pretty much nothing available right now.
They also were running low on fans�from small tabletop units to the big window box fans.
The heat also was taking its toll on air conditioners already installed.
Jason Cox, owner of JC Heating and Air Conditioning, reported a spike in repair calls for older air conditioners.
The combination of constant use and the heat stresses the machinery, Cox said.
�We are expecting to stay busy the rest of the week,� Cox said.
Power consumption
As the air conditioners hummed and fans spun, energy use across southern and western Wisconsin is up significantly.
Alliant Energy spokesperson Steven Schultz said the company hit peak power use in Wisconsin at 5 p.m. Tuesday, using 2,487 megawatts of power. Compared to an ordinary summer day, that�s up quite a bit, Schultz said. Alliant Energy expects the high power usage to continue for the rest of the week or until the weather cools.
Schultz said they are not expecting any problems meeting the high demand.
�We have plenty of capacity available for the demand we are expecting today and the rest of the week � reliability has improved a lot over the last few years,� Schultz said.
Little relief
The National Weather Service at Sullivan predicted Tuesday that the heat would peak in the high 90s today, making it the four straight day with the highs over 90.
The high temp finally could dip below 90 on Friday, but it�s back up to 90 on Saturday. Thunderstorms are possible Thursday through Saturday, but the chances aren�t great.
Human health
State emergency officials had received no reports of heat-related deaths as of 3 p.m. Tuesday.
The emergency department at Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center in Janesville reported only �a handful� of heat-related cases so far this week, a spokeswoman said.
Those cases involved a lack of water and prolonged exposure, including a woman who gardened too long and a child who played outdoors all day, the spokeswoman said. No work-related cases were reported.
The emergency staff is prepared for any influx of heat-related cases as the heat wave continues this week, the Mercy spokeswoman said.
A Dean Riverview spokesman reported only one case, on Tuesday, which involved a migraine and vomiting.
Animal health
James Hurley, operations manager at the Rock County Humane Society, had simple advice for pet owners: �If you can�t be outside, your dog shouldn�t be outside either.�
Hurley recommended pet owners cut back on their animals� exercise, make sure they get plenty of water and keep pets in a cool place.
He suggests letting dogs splash in water instead of walk on blacktop.
If dogs have to be outside, Hurley said, they should be in the shade.
Heat stroke is the biggest threat animals face with the hot weather. Hurley said the warning signs include heavy panting, glazed eyes, restlessness, staggering, vomiting and loss of consciousness.
�You need to act quickly to get their body temperature lowered slowly because you don�t want to send them into shock,� Hurley said. �You also want to get to a vet as soon as you can.�
A release from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection warns owners not to leave dogs in cars, even for just a few minutes.
The release also advises owners of large animals and livestock to not transport animals when it is over 80 degrees, make sure animal areas are well ventilated, provide water and to use sprinklers to help cool animals.
Summer school
Students at the two Janesville high schools and two charter schools all are in air-conditioned classrooms this week, officials said, but about 40 children have just started a two-week course at the Janesville Schools Outdoor Lab.
No heat-related problems have arisen for the children studying nature at the JSOL, said Steve Huth, summer school principal.
Children in third through fifth grades have plenty of water to drink, and the experienced staff is making sure they stay well hydrated, Huth said.
The JSOL shelter has a relatively cool concrete floor and fans, so it�s bearable indoors, Huth said.
�We are in a completely shaded area with good ventilation,� Huth said. �Certainly if the heat indices were such that it was a risk, we could bring them indoors.�
�If parents have a concern about student safety related to weather, they are always welcome to keep that child home,� Huth said.
Today the kids get a cool bonus: They�re taking a trip to the creek.

TOD MACHOVER: It's interesting to ask what technology could bring to a symphony orchestra.
GIL ROSE: It's also interesting to ask what people who go to a symphony orchestra are looking for. Because sometimes you're talking completely from an acoustical sense… The pressure that comes to bear on an orchestra, on the institution of the orchestra, comes from a constituency of both audience members and supporters. What is their relationship with technology? If they could be somehow more related to technology, then the whole process might happen a lot faster. We have to accept this, 'cause that's where the bottom line decision is.
RAY KURZWEIL: That's true. There are two reasons why you might want to use synthesizers. One is cost savings. One synthesizer can create a whole string section or a horn section and can replace multiple instruments and musicians. That application is used commonly by small orchestras, especially in Broadway shows where you have four or five musicians who need to sound like the whole orchestra. At a traditional classical orchestra like the Boston Symphony, they don't have that pressure. The other purpose of the synthesizer, and electronic music in general, is to create new types of sounds that you can't make with violins and guitars and pianos. And to take advantage of the great palette of sounds on applications, sequencing techniques, and so forth. And for that you need a body of music and musical tradition. The symphony-going public wants a certain repertoire, most of which is classical and doesn't call for these new sounds. There's a tradition of modern music that can make use of it, but the repertoire of classical music incorporating new forms and new sounds that would require electronic music is limited although growing. Even more limited is the public appreciation of the symphony orchestra.
TOD MACHOVER: I think we're at a crossroads where technology brings into focus this question of whether traditional orchestras are going to be vibrant living organizations of the 21st century that continue building the repertoire, or are they going to rest on past repertoire. Boulez has talked for years about orchestras little by little having various sub-ensembles: you'd have a full symphony concert, but you might have a chamber orchestra concert or mixed pieces on one concert. And I think not integrating technology in some ways, not providing the right forum for composers to be invited to create work… Right now there isn't that much repertoire for full orchestra and technology because composers aren't stupid. It's hard enough to go out and get work done. I'm one of the dumber ones who keeps trying to do these things. But it's hard. People don't have rehearsal time. The conditions aren't really right, so we have to change that.
RAY KURZWEIL: I would hope that that would happen because otherwise the traditional symphony orchestra is just going to become sort of a relic for preserving this old tradition and it's not going to remain a vibrant new art form. It certainly made its way back in the Beatles' days into popular music that used traditional rock instruments. There were many pioneers, but the Beatles played a role in introducing to the public the idea of a wider palette of sounds that invariably get explored today. But classical music really needs to move in this direction as well and use all of the sound notation tools.
TOD MACHOVER: Just last night I was thinking about the Beatles. This week, I happened to be teaching the great period of Stockhausen and Boulez and Xenakis, the guys in the '50s and '60s who brought electronic music to the public. The Beatles are an interesting case because in those days, it's all documented, Paul McCartney used to go all the time to see Stockhausen concerts and Berio concerts. And he knew that music, he and John Lennon knew that music pretty well. They were up on the latest electronic thing, so when they did Sgt. Pepper's and moved away from live performance into studio things, they weren't ripping off Stockhausen and Berio, but they got a lot of inspiration from them and really admired them. These days, it almost also happens the opposite way around. You're absolutely right, in general, the people who've understood and capitalized on technology faster have been in the entertainment and pop industry and especially orchestras, of all institutions, are lagging way behind. Except for Gil's, most of them!
