Easy start for Team Honda Europe
The first special of Dakar 2010 is over, and our team had a good start. The riders were back in de bivouac already before the servicetruck arrived.
Tonnie Krabbenborg (137e) did not like his first few hunderd meters outside the bivouac. After he met a concrete traffic rail he had a short flight with his bike. Luckily he had no injuries. The bike was damaged, and the handlebars with all the instruments had to be replaced. After a second start from the bivouac everything went well. "I speeded a bit the make up for the lost time, so I could arrive at the special right on time and avoid a penalty. The special was great, the landscpae made me think of Turkey where I spend a lot of time training. The roadbook was great, with beautifull rivercorssings and tight corners with deep ruts lurking behind them."
Alois Ressing (141) stayed calm today. "This kind of competition challenges you to go beyond your own limits and compete one-on-one with others riders. But the dust here made me close the throttle and ride safely. It will take a few more days before everyone has found his own spot in the ranking, but I won't be caught in risky games. This morning I waited for Tonnie at the special, for over an hours. It was great to see Etienne Lavigne, manager of Dakar, adjusting my GPS himself. The people along the tracks have such an enthousiasm, that is unique. Some even had home build platforms with them!
Christopher Jarmuz (49) started relaxed. "It was very fast today and as not all corners were mentioned in the roadbook also quite dangerous. I really held back today. At the moment I am 8 minutes behind the top 20, so I can easily catch them in the course of the rally. It was a surprise to see Casteu win today! This morning it was a bit cold, but now it has gotten hot. The time left I'll use to get some sleep for the coming days. The rally is still very long."
Mirjam Pol (57) stayed behind Annie Seel today. "This first part of the special was beautifull, a track with hard sand and a lot of grip. After that it became more technical and I had a small 'ooops' when missin a corner. I went straight into the bushes, luckily without any damage. You can imagine how quick I had left those bushes again, just to make sure nobody crashed into me. For a first day it was good. The differences are small, and the main goal is to keep damages to a minimum. Tomorrow I expect to loose some time on Anie again, but when we are heading to Fiambala it will get more interesting. We did gget quite some speed today, I had 148kmh as maximum on my GPS!
Gerben Vruggink (87) enjoyed this first special, even though the first 50 kilometers had been canceld due to floods. "The first 30 km in the special were very fast, but the roadbook matched 100%. We had nice climbs, rough terrain and had to do some work to reach the finish. And best of all I have had no problems with my wrist, which was broken during training a month ago. I am satisfied today!
Patrick Trahan (93) was also in a good mood after the special. The tracks remind him of Morocco, were he often travels with groups. "I had good speed and coul ride safe and secure. Only once the GPS came loose, and I had to fix it. In the mountains I picked up a bit more speed, to stay ahead of the quads. The bike is perfect, only a few adjustments to the handlebars and I am 100% happy. I love it!"

Have You Met My New Baby?/
As many of you know, I birthed a new baby this past July. No, not a real human baby, but a growing, evolving, bundle of joy podcast, called The Boob Group. Over the last 5 months, this new addition to my 'family' has truly begun to blossom and come into her own. And, since many of you haven't had the privilege of meeting her yet, I thought I would take the opportunity to introduce her to you!
It is truly the only podcast of its kind… I know, I know… isn't this what all parents say about their offspring? But, seriously, it's true. Each Boob Group episode melds expert breastfeeding advice with personal stories from breastfeeding moms; you get the clinical breastfeeding information you need (from some of the top experts in the field), as well as anecdotal stories that makes it all the more real.
Over the past few months, I have had the honor of having some of the most inspiring and courageous breastfeeding moms on the show. Some of these moms breastfed against all odds. Others had babies with extreme breastfeeding challenges. Some enjoyed breastfeeding so immensely that they continued to nurse through pregnancy and then tandem nursed. What they all had in common were incredibly touching and encouraging stories that brought a smile to my face and sometimes tears to my eyes.
How The Boob Group Has Grown?
When The Boob Group first started out, we were very timid. We wanted to contact some famous lactation consultants, but hadn't mustered up the courage yet. We also had very few ways to interact with our listeners. I mean, no one had really heard of us, so what could I expect. Recently, we put our big girl pants on and decided to reach out to some of the most experienced international board certified lactation consultants to bring you cutting-edge breastfeeding advice. In fact, I just had the pleasure of interviewing of Lisa Marasco, the co-author of The Breastfeeding Mother's Guide to Making More Milk, about her most recent work on breastfeeding after a previously low milk supply. (Episode due out in November)
Also, we now have a fantastic following on our Facebook page, which allows us to engage in meaningful conversation with our listeners, as well as ask all of you about your opinions and recommendations for episode topics. We are also so grateful for Kellymom.com, who has shared our episodes frequently on her Facebook page, as well as Best for Babes who has mentioned us as one of the great resources for breastfeeding moms on the web (presented in a USLCA webinar).
How The Boob Group Will Continue to Grow?
As our little girl begins to sprout her wings, we hope to nurture her into a confident, wise, empowered online breastfeeding resource. We will continue to offer non-judgmental, evidence-based breastfeeding information, advice, and personal stories. We promise to share your stories of breastfeeding joys and struggles on The Boob Group blog. We will consistently ask for your requests for episode topics and questions for our experts on our Facebook page (so don't forget to 'Like' us.) We will also continuously offer quality product reviews and super fun giveaways. And, most of all, we will always strive to be the best online support group for all things breastfeeding.
Our goal is to support all breastfeeding mothers along their journeys, no matter if they are offering 1 oz. or 40 oz. of breastmilk to their babies per day. It's all breastfeeding!
Thank you to everyone who has joined me in this beautiful journey! I can't wait to see what my little girl does next!

Geebus. Get that baby into a soundproof bubble for sleep time! I kid, of course. That really sucks, I hope she grows out of the fussy stage soon so you can all get some rest!

My son was like that and at his birthday party a week ago there was a little baby who slept straight through 20 screaming and playing kids. I was totally blown away and jealous of that parent

That's how my baby is, she falls asleep and stays asleep anywhere.

How so? You'd become one of those people who can't sleep when there's even the smallest distraction or you won't be able to focus without complete silence. I'd rather have poor hearing than hearing that's too sharp.

Babies are like investments. They require constant care, but when they're a bit older, they'll be very helpful. When they're teenagers, it might go a bit downhill. You hope for the upside when and if they become productive adults. Good luck being the Wolf of Wall Street.

I agree. I found a lullaby on YouTube that my daughter liked and just played that on a loop when she first started in her crib, at 6 months. When she was in my bed, we had the window open and you can hear the waterfall from our backyard. Now, at 11 months, she only has 15 mins of bedtime music from her "violet" leap frog dog and she's out for the night (unless she's teething). Getting them used to noise at night can be very useful, especially if you plan on having another kid.
By Rox22_fml | 13
Invest in some white noise or even just turn the vacuum cleaner on while getting bub to sleep. You don't need to creep around newborns, if you start that habit you'll regret it. Think about what sounds they heard in the womb, your heartbeat, digestion, voice and outside sounds its pretty noisy! White noise replicates that and helps baby sleep better. I had a baby shusher for my daughter best thing ever
Bearsmomma | 30
I agree. I never tiptoed around for my babies. iIt's much less stressful if they can sleep through noises. I was able to do dishes and other chores without a worry. We kept a heartbeat bear on the crib at night too.
By DinosaurTacoTime | 18
When I was a baby my mom never let it get quiet while we slept. Now I can sleep through basic sounds of everyday life with no worry. My cousin however...his mom never let others make a single sound while he slept as a baby. Now he can barely sleep at night because of cars passing and basic noises. He'd never be able to go to a bustling city.
By MrsHumanFrog | 19
Try putting her to sleep with really soft music playing and over time increase the volume little by little. After a couple of weeks she should hopefully be more sound tolerant.
By Oregoncowgirl | 5
I was always told to never be quiet for a sleeping baby or else the quietest of noises would wake them up. So when my little girl was a newborn I vacuumed, did dishes, cooked, etc. Now she's almost 2 and can sleep through anything. Good luck!

The limited edition Satria XLI has all the show of the hot hatch without the go.
Proton says the mirror-image Satria XLI - dubbed by the company "Son of a Gun" - will appeal to buyers on a limited budget.
Standard equipment includes a front air dam, side skirts and rear spoiler, together with 7-spoke alloy wheels, Goodyear Eagle tyres, sports steering wheel and gearknob as well as a chrome exhaust extension and headlight and bonnet protectors.
The engine is Proton's 1.6L, multi-valve, four cylinder engine delivering a respectable 83kW at 6000rpm and 137Nm at 5000rpm. The GTi itself produces 103kW and 165Nm from its twin overhead-cam 1.8 litre engine.
Proton Cars Australia also says the XLI has benefitted from the suspension tweaks Proton-owned Lotus Engineering has brought to the Proton range.
Standard creature comforts include a Blaupunkt CD/AM/FM stereo sound system, air conditioning, four-wheel disc brakes and power steering.
The interior also boasts sports front seats, full instrumentation and a carbon fibre-look dash fascia.
Proton enthusiastically points out that the XLI comes with the same attractive insurance rating as the standard Satria XLi.
The company says additional equipment on the XLI over the standard Satria XLi totals $3500. Retail price is $16,990 plus on-road costs for the five-speed manual. The four-speed automatic version is $18,490 plus on-road costs.
The "real thing" GTi, by the way, costs $26,450 plus on-road costs in manual form.

Economists have been left scratching their heads as the economic catastrophe many had predicted immediately following the Brexit vote has so far failed to materialise.
And few can forget the overwhelming failure among most economists to see the financial crisis coming.
Of course again and again they do get it right, and forecasting can prove invaluable for planning for the future.
But these two huge failings alone suggest that economics isn't always up to scratch.
So why do economists get it so wrong at times, is economics up to the job – and if not, what alternatives have we got?
In this episode of the Big Money Questions Peter Antonioni, author of Economics for Dummies and Senior Teaching Fellow at the UCL School of Management, has the answers.

Sturridge happy to lend a hand
Bolton's on-loan striker Daniel Sturridge is delighted to have done Chelsea a favour in their quest to land the Premier League title.
The 21-year-old striker offered his parent club a helping hand over the weekend when he netted for loan employers Bolton in a 2-1 victory over Arsenal, his seventh goal of a productive short-term spell.
Defeat for the Gunners at the Reebok Stadium all but ended their hopes of taking the top flight crown, leaving Chelsea and Manchester United to battle it out at the summit.
Sturridge is set to see out the season with the Trotters, meaning he will not be back at Stamford Bridge until the summer, but he is delighted to have played a small part in aiding the cause of Carlo Ancelotti's side.
He said: "I think I've done the boys at Chelsea a bit of a favour. I'm sure I'll be getting a few texts.
"At the moment I'm just pleased to help Bolton but to be able to help my actual club too is great.
"I think this result makes it a two-horse race. It's between Chelsea and Manchester United now.
"It's going to be a tense four games but hopefully Chelsea will take the title."
Sturridge was sent out on loan by the Blues following their record-breaking capture of Fernando Torres and, despite the Spaniard providing him with stiff competition for a place at Stamford Bridge, he was happy to see the £50million man get off the mark against West Ham on Saturday.
He added: "I was delighted to see Torres get his first goal.
"I hope I can get to double figures for Bolton. It would be amazing."

You have now access to Traditional Reports, Revenue Report, Product Success Report, Sales and Activity Report, Program Level Report, Individual Item Report
A new overview at the front page with Campaign Overview Metrics and Partner Overview Metrics.
I'm not sure it's going to make me happy and give me what I need but we can play with it for a while.

A bunch more useless reports. And it still doesn't do everything the old reports did. Sigh...
June 29th, 2005, 12:05 AM #3
I'm looking at the reports now and am not sure what to say. First, it looks like they have tried to appease us by bringing back the "Traditional Reports" as they call them. Okay, great I thought...until I tried them. First, it takes a terrible number of clicks to get there. I tried the Individual Item report for this month and out of all the sales listed, it could only describe 2% of them. All the rest had Product Name as UNKNOWN and Product SKU as UNKNOWN. Okay, this report is worthless.
Okay, Sales and Activity report works, but again, way to many clicks to get there.
Product Success Report. Worthless!!! Only one item could it describe. All the rest were UNKNOWN.
Program Level Report. Works!!!! Wooooeeee, that's two out of five that work.
Just realized, if I have logged into Linkshare with my LS account, why should I have to select a network for every report I want to see. Obviously, if I am logged into LS, that is the network I want to observe, not B2B Network, not Currupted (what is that?), not Inapplicable (another question mark), not Japanese Network, Not the LS UK network, not the Media Tracker Network, and not Unknown or Unmeasured. Were these programers just making this stuff up? Come on, if you can't automatically set it to the LS network for those that log in under the LS network, at least put that one at the top of your list so I don't have to scroll down to find the correct one. I really wish they would have an affiliate look at this stuff before they implement it. It is so obvious to us.
Okay, Affiliate Detail Payment report. What the heck is this: Payment Status is equal to Issued and MCT_MCT_LGL_ETY_NM is equal to [merchant name was here]? Like we are supposed to know what MCT_MCT_LGL_ETY_NM means? And on a cleared payment (yes, I did get one consilidated payment so far), it says this: Payment ID is equal to 4534 and Payment Status is equal to Cleared. What does 4534 mean?
Well, I'm not impressed.

We still need a report that shows the balance owed by an affiliate broken down by merchant by month. Without such a report we are unable to determine where we stand.

I use to drink yago. Maybe they'll give us free drinks when our sales are low?

Okay, in all the other strange words and strange code in their reports I never saw "Yago". Where did that appear?

Exactly! We also need more detail on the checks. I see that there are more columns for each merchant when I look at the payments by ID (for checks that have cleared), but it is still not the information that I need.
I want to see a breakdown, by merchant, so that I know what period the payment is for, as well as any adjustmusts (i.e., Bonuses) that are included.

I think YAGO = Year Ago.
The graph shows the amount for 2004
June 29th, 2005, 10:45 AM #11what we really need . . .
What we really need, LS, is a user's manual for this gadget. Most of us don't do managementspeak, if you've noticed. And we're not all accountants and we're not all (well, not all) programmers so if a piece of call code shows up in a report it looks like junk letters to us.
issue one, then you will have the right to say "RTFM!"
June 29th, 2005, 11:01 AM #12
I think you'd need a little cart to cary the manual with you. Of course, that is under the assumption that the LS staff know what it is we are seeing and could explain it to us in a manual.
June 29th, 2005, 11:11 AM #13
I could make a list of problems, but it's just about everything. Missing options. Useless options. Tons of useless new reports and charts. Still too many steps. Bad defaults. Rounded numbers. Still missing some important reports.
And this is supposed to be the much vaunted "Version 2". It's not ready for Beta yet.
At the Linkshare Symposium, one Linkshare employee told me that the old reports would be going away at the end of July. I expressed my concerns about this to a more senior employee, and he assured me that this was categorically not true.
Scrap this and go back to the old reports.
June 29th, 2005, 12:26 PM #14
Exactly. This is a company taking one step forward with reporting and two steps back (I'm being kind) with functionality.
June 29th, 2005, 12:30 PM #15
Actually, it's more like "a promise of one step forward later". There's nothing in there yet that I would consider to be a step forward. I keep hearing about future potential, but none of it is there yet.

These people at LinkShare have no clue of what the affiliates need.
It shows also he has NO RESPECT for them. He's coming here each time he's in big trouble. But, do you think he's listening to his affiliates. NO.
He does what HE WANT. Does he care for you? NO.

Let me put things into perspective for folks about Mr. Messers "direct personal involvement with his partners", as you call them (I don't feel treated like a partner). The following is the number of times Mr. Messer has posted here at ABW since September (rough count and may be off my a post or two):
May: 5
Apr.: 6
Mar.: 9
Feb.: 0
Jan: 1 (Holiday wish, not an informative post)
Dec.: 1(Holiday wish, not an informative post)
Nov.: 2 (same message about dos attack, just updated slightly)
Oct.: 0
Sept: 1 (response to the award fiasco)
TOTAL: 25 posts in 9 months, average of .09 times a day.
Between, September and February, a six month period, Mr. Messer only responded three times here regarding problems we brought forth. I wish I could easily calculate the number of posts written at ABW asking him questions that never went answered, but I dont have a few days of my time to search and count them.

With all the steps I'm hearing about, it would take me a couple hours just to pull up any kind of sales report. I'm currently logged into the system for the 3rd time and am trying to pull my payment report. I've been working on it for about an hour and I was able to get into the system and make 2 clicks. Right now I'm waiting for the report to come up. I've never been able to pull up anything else and the 15 minute load times are simply absurd. I don't know what platform they're using, but this is simply the worst piece of online software I've ever used.
I still haven't receive my payments for May. It's running on the late side here and I need this money soon. Has anybody received their May payments yet? I finally got my payment summary report to come up (took just over an hour) and it's telling me only 5% of my actual payment due has been issued. I can't believe this!! Linkshare has done nothing at all to make me happy this year. Now this talk that they're considering eliminating their only working reports is scaring me. If they did that, Linkshare would be inaccessible to me.
Can I ask if anybody's received their May payments? I'm starting to get worried.

From my phone call with Linkshare today, they confirmed that the old reports will be going away at some point in the future. It probably won't be the end of July, but they do plan on doing it soon.
I made it very clear that this would be a major mistake, but I'm just one voice. If any of you have contacts in Linkshare, you need to be making your voices heard as well. They think everything is peachy with Synergy Analytics 2.0.

Howard Hughes had the courage to ground his "Spruce Goose" after the first and last flight, LinkShare need the courage to scrap SynergyAnalitycs and to come back with the old reports. There's nothing to improve in SynergyAnalitycs. The old reports can be improved and missing information could be added with no problem.

I will cheerfully scrap LinkShare and make the whole argument moot.

"From my phone call with Linkshare today, they confirmed that the old reports will be going away at some point in the future."
Not a good idea at all. If they're going to stick with the new system, then they should let the affiliates mold it. Direct input and then follow thru. It's the basic "listening to your customers"
July 11th, 2005, 06:37 PM #24
From the July LS affiliate e-mail regarding Synergy Analytics: "As you will remember version 1.0 was a replication of the existing LinkShare reporting system."
Which is a complete fabrication, because it's neither a cosmetic nor a functional replication of the existing reports. And they're off working on Version 2.0 (still "beta" ???) as if everything is peachy.

That's what they think, because affiliates aren't complaining.

Sleater-Kinney is one of those bands you don't like as much as you're afraid not to like. The group's hipness quotient and political correctness almost overshadow the fact that its music pretty much fucking sucks. The Woods is no different. While famed Flaming Lips producer David Fridmann has helped the trio of Corin Tucker, Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss slather a fresh coat of sludgy residue all over this disc, it's still an aimless, hookless, empty-sounding shell of what angle-ridden indie rock is supposed to sound like. It's funny that the players' so-called instrumental telepathy is often cited as a strength, seeing as how they usually resemble three people in three separate rooms playing three different songs at the same time. "Wilderness" and "What's Mine is Yours," in particular, suffer from stumbling, uncoordinated stabs at guitar-heroic noise that are about as empowering as a Holly Hobby toy oven. With their stridency, integrity and intelligence, the members of Sleater-Kinney make great role models -- but as songwriters, they're totally lost in The Woods.

Mayor Lyda Krewson says she's "committed" to removing a Confederate monument from Forest Park, but says the process will be expensive.
In order to help the statue go down, Treasurer Tishaura Jones has started a GoFundMe account to raise $25,000.
Wednesday morning, Jones took to Twitter asking her followers if they'd contribute to a GoFundMe account to remove the statue. After several of her followers replied saying yes, she started the fund.
If I started a @gofundme to take down the Confederate Statue in Forest Park, would you contribute?— Tishaura O. Jones (@tishaura) May 17, 2017
Within an hour, the account had raised more than $600.
Jones released a statement saying she believes the monument has no place in Forest Park and should have been removed years ago. She says she decided to start the campaign after the city cited a lack of funds for not removing the monument.
The decision to remove the statue has been controversial, with some St. Louisans saying the statue pays homage to their family history.
Bill Hannagan, who grew up along Lindell Boulevard says his great grandfather was on the City Council that set aside the place for the Confederate monument.
"This is a case of a space being set aside in a beautiful park for the descendants of the Confederates to honor the war dead," he said.
Others say the statue represents a part of American history they'd rather not honor.
"It speaks to a time and place that was not good for this country but it also at the same time has to give the proper recognition to the folks who lost their lives," said Adolphus Pruitt, president of the St. Louis NAACP.
He says the statue is a reminder of a toxic time and place in American history.
The mayor's office says it's looking at a variety of different options to remove the statue, each of which carries a different price tag.

Wow, lots of comments this week.
@escilnavia, Leszczyk, MamaLuigi945, LolloLallo, Benedict, Johan-91, ten trillion, k50dude: Thank you very much for your kind words.
@ee99: Thanks! If you look at pictures of the real Mt. Fuji, there really is a small stone shrine like that on top of the mountain, as well as several other 'waypoint' buildings along the way up.
@NMUspidey: Thank you, sir! You're living in japan? And here i thought the NMU part of your name was some kind of US university acronym, like New Mexico University or somesuch. Learning something new everyday...
@Evandad: It can't be that hard of a climb; its only a few thousand pixels.
@spursrule14: Thanks! Another award is always a nice accomplishment.
@hahei, Amthaak, Bugs Bunny: The snow is actually part of the Meadowshire Terrain Mod by c.p. over at SC4D. Once the terrain reaches a certain height, the snow texture appears automatically. For MMP's I use just about everything I can find.
@Hazy37: Sure thing, but this time I'm afraid you'll have to settle for only half as many pics.
@everyone: a big THANK YOU for launching this CJ into the BTT top 10!
New Stuff.
Area: Mt. Fuji
Tile: Southeast Flank (hurray for originality)
Now that we've gone up and down Fuji, I'm going to take some time to do some small scale projecty stuff. Trying to rapidly do large projects that take up whole large tiles really takes it out of me, and some of the quality definitely suffers for it. So we're going to backtrack just a little bit and take a peek at the north side of Lake Benihana, where there is a small park, complete with boatlaunch.
1. Heading north on the Fuji Route, a small road turns off the state route.
2. The shoreline alternates between rocky and marshy.
3. The park entrance.
4. The park green.
5. Northlake Boatramp.
6. There's some good fishing in the lake here.
7. An overview of the small park.
Short update this time. Don't forget to rate, +1, and leave your thoughts in the comments if you feel like it.
Enjoy the weekend folks.

My article sprouted up rather like the mollusks on her beautiful ceramic bowls.First, it was simple dazzlement over the crazy beauty of the dishes that she calls the "Bottom Feeders" Collection.

Following my path of surprise and curiosity ultimately led to more delight as I discovered that this artist was not at all as I expected her to be, but a juxtaposition in herself. READ MORE

Marie Shine (8/1/2016 11:48:00 AM)
Each and every human being wears a mask at some point in their lifetime and you have very poetically captured the various reasons why we wear them. The poem is filled with hope for the reader:
'Yes, a day will come
When I will unveil my mask.
And laugh out loudly
Cry out loudly
Shout out loudly
And live a day only and only for me'
There is a wondrous feeling of joy expressed at achieving freedom from wearing a mask and just being the wonderful human being that each of us is.
The final verse in the poem conveys to the reader how each day in our lifetime is a new day, a fresh start, a new beginning. It is up to each of us to make the very best of each day that is given to us, the choice is ours alone to make.
Gracefully penned and eloquently expressed, I like this poem very much. It is insightful and thought provoking and excellently crafted. Thank you for sharing dear poetess Geetha. Blessings... (Report) Reply

Congrats, Mdm, for this being the poem of the Day. Each one of us has to wear some or the other mask throughout our life to camouflage our true colours. You have rightly said:
Mask of beautiful smile / Covering the painful face / (Like a joker in the circus) 'He has to make people laugh.....Will I be ever able to unveil the mask? ' Thanks. (Report) Reply

Smith-Rivera leads Georgetown past No. 21 Butler
No. 1 Kentucky overcame a nine-point deficit in the second half to keep its perfect season intact, beating host Georgia, 72-64, last night.
The Wildcats (30-0, 17-0 SEC) won their previous five games by an average of 24 points.
They were really challenged by Georgia (19-10, 10-7), which had the sellout crowd roaring when Yante Maten's tip-in put the Bulldogs up 56-47 with 9 minutes left. But Kentucky seized control with a 14-0 run, and Georgia hurt its chances by missing three straight one-and-ones.
Freshman center Karl-Anthony Towns led the Wildcats with 19 points.
Villanova 76, Creighton 72: Ryan Arcidiacono converted a three-point play to give No. 4 Villanova the lead in the last minute and came up with the game's final rebound, allowing the Wildcats (28-2, 15-2 Big East) to win their 11th straight game. Host Creighton led by nine in the first half.
Kansas xx, W. Virginia xx:
Georgetown 60, Butler 54: D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera scored 16 points in his return to Indianapolis, helping Georgetown hold on against No. 21 Butler (21-9, 11-6).
The Hoyas (19-9, 11-6) have won four of their last five and still have a chance at the No. 2 seed in next week's Big East Tournament at the Garden.
Maryland 60, Rutgers 50: Dez Wells had 20 points as No. 10 Maryland won its sixth straight. The Terps (25-5, 13-4 Big Ten) sent host Rutgers (10-20, 2-15) to its 13th straight loss, the Scarlet Knights' worst skid since they lost 16 in a row in 1987-88.
N. Carolina 81, Ga. Tech 49: No. 19 North Carolina (21-9, 11-6 ACC) won a second consecutive game for the first time since January.

Belvidere, city, seat (1837) of Boone county, northern Illinois, U.S. It lies on the Kishwaukee River, about 75 miles (120 km) northwest of downtown Chicago. The area was settled in 1835 and was originally named Elysian Fields. The city was founded in 1836 and renamed Belvidere (Latin: "Beautiful View"). Belvidere was an important stopping place on the Chicago-Galena stage route and developed as an agricultural trading centre, shipping milk and grain to Chicago. The town centre was originally built north of the river but was moved to the other side after the railroad passed through there in 1851. Industries important to the local economy include machine tools, furnaces, automobiles, and canned and frozen vegetables. The surrounding agricultural area produces corn (maize), soybeans, and livestock. Some one-fifth of residents are Hispanic or Latino. Belvidere is notable for the colourful murals that adorn downtown buildings. The city also features the Boone County Historical Society Museum and, in Belvidere Cemetery, the Pettit Memorial Chapel (1907, restored 2003), designed by Frank Lloyd Wright; it is believed to be the only chapel Wright ever designed and is an early example of his trademark Prairie style. On April 21, 1967, a devastating tornado struck the local high school and surrounding area, killing 24 people and destroying or damaging some 500 homes. Inc. 1852. Pop. (2000) 20,820; (2010) 25,585.

59 Citi Bike docking stations planned for Astoria, according to DOT proposal
April 5, By Hannah Wulkan
The first batch of Citi Bikes will be rolling in to Astoria sometime this summer.
The Department of Transportation presented a map of 59 proposed locations for Citi Bike docking stations at a Community Board 1 Transportation Committee meeting last night, though DOT is still looking for feedback on the proposed locations.
Under the plan, 59 docking stations would be installed within the boundaries of Queens Plaza North, 44th Street, Ditmars Boulevard and the waterfront beginning this summer. Twelve of the locations would be installed on the roadway, and the rest would be added on the sidewalk.
CB 1 District Manager Florence Koulouris said that the Board pushed for as many locations on the sidewalk as possible to preserve parking space in the neighborhood.
Each docking station would have room for at least 16 bikes but every docking station will not necessarily be stocked at full capacity, depending on usage, Koulouris said. DOT has not yet determined how many bikes will be brought in to the neighborhood, and will adjust the amount depending on how the system is used.
The plan presented last night was a draft, and is still undergoing review and is open for public comment, allowing for tweaks if residents are concerned about bike docking station placement.
Residents with comments or concerns on the draft plan are encouraged to contact the Department of Transportation.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was recently genetically associated with signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) in Caucasians [1]. This study included over 6,000 participants to produce an odds ratio of 1.32 at rs7574865 (p = 2.8 × 10−7). Three other single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in intron 3 of STAT4 (rs8179673, rs10181656, rs6752770), 3 SNPs in strong linkage disequilibrium with rs7574865 (r2 = 1.0; rs7582694, rs7568275, rs11889341), and a haplotype driven by the T allele of rs7574865 also associated with RA susceptibility [1]. Association with rs7574865 replicated in several Asian and European-based populations. See Table 1. Since racial/ethnic differences have been observed at RA susceptibility loci, including CTLA4, PADI4, PTPN22, RUNX1, and SLC22A4, we aimed to determine if an association with these STAT4 markers and RA susceptibility is consistent in African-Americans.
We used ABI TaqMan allelic discrimination assays to genotype rs8179673, rs10931481, rs11889341, rs7574865, rs10181656, and rs10207044 in 723 African-American RA patients and 690 African-American controls from the Consortium for the Longitudinal Evaluation of African-Americans with Early Rheumatoid Arthritis (CLEAR) Registry as described previously [9]. All participants were recruited with informed consent under approval of an Institutional Review Board. Chi square tests were performed on GraphPad Prism v4.03 (San Diego, CA).
We did not observe a genetic association with rs7574865 (χ2 p = 0.23) or with the other previously associated SNPs. See Table 2. No association was found regardless of stratification by HLA-DRB1 allele or anti-CCP antibody status – factors known to influence genetic association with RA susceptibility.
Since our study population is African-American, our findings may be complicated by possible confounding due to population admixture. We cannot assess local admixture among this group of STAT4 SNPs given the absence of ancestry informative markers in this localized region; however, the lack of large differences in minor allele frequencies between HapMap populations reduces the likelihood of admixture confounding. See Table 2. This study is also smaller than some collections [1] and is subsequently less powered to detect a genetic association. Yet, our study is comparable (or even larger) in size than several studies that previously detected an association with these STAT4 markers [2, 3, 5, 7]. Furthermore, when performing a power calculation using a similar odds ratio to the previous association [1], there is only a 10% chance of a false negative result (α=0.05).
To date, the association of rs7574865 with susceptibility to RA has been replicated in all populations studied, including those of Asian and European descent[1]. See Table 1. We are the first to explore this susceptibility marker in African-Americans and do not reproduce the finding. Given the limited region of the the gene that we examined, it is possible that another region of STAT4 associates with RA susceptibility in populations of African ancestry. Regardless, the ethnic-based differential association of specific STAT4 markers with RA susceptibility suggests a need for additional study into the genetics of this entire gene in multiple populations.

If you like my stories I'd be forever grateful if you can comment on them with your thoughts. Nothing brings me greater pleasure than reading the comments my stories get. It makes me happy and gives me the motivation to keep on writing and produce more stories for you all to enjoy. Your support through your comments is my strength to keep on going. I thrive on seeing the wonderful comments my stories get and they always brighten a rather dreary day.
Please also understand that I am an inexperienced writer. I never took lessons or even did well in school. I never did college either. I self taught myself to write and I know I still need a lot of work but I'm happy with were I am at now and don't want to stress over it. It was a lot of hard work, tears and energy to get where I am now and I many times I wanted to give up and even now I still have times where I feel like I'm a failure of a writer and just want to stop. I know I'll never write like those talented writers or be able to paint a picture with my words but I am doing the best with what I can do and I put all my energy and feelings into my stories. You wouldn't believe the amount of times I've lost sleep or spent days crying over my writing and even started to hate it and yet I'm still here... I'm a writer who needs encouragement and support. That's why I value comments on my stories so much. It helps build my confidence and picks me up so I can keep on going.

text: Since there's no "Boost Mobile" category yet, I'm posting here in "Sprint"... I just bought my Motorola i1 yesterday, activated it last night, but never could make a call. 24 hours later, I'm still receiving a "Not registered on network" error. Other than that the phone (and even the 1.5 OS) has been AWESOME so far! But the Boost Mobile phone tech support / customer service rep was kind and friendly...but hardly helpful. I usually try to be nice to these people (and I even was this time!), but today my hour on the phone was entertaining...turned frustrating...turned aggravating...turned ANGERING!! I'm just posting here to vent and warn... As of Monday 28 June 2010...I'm pretty sure, Boost Mobile CS reps have NO CLUE about Android phones. The first couple people were kind and fairly helpful (I suppose). As soon as they realized they couldn't help me, they moved me on to the next 'more specialized' person (so they said). Until I eventually landed with a sweet, mid-30's sounding, Asian woman who kept referring to my "i1" as an "i9" (even after I corrected her 3+ times!)... then it got worse.... ...Well there are no clear 'menu' or 'advanced' options that I can easily find... ...Yeah, o-okay, well...there again I can't find that either, how about I just go to the 'Settings'? What kind of settings are you looking for... ...Well, no...it won't make calls...that's why you're helping me...[I give a friendly/lighthearted laugh]... ...Or how about I just try calling back later? Maybe I can work with someone else tonight...I really need to go anyway. What number do I call to get back to your tech support dept?... ...Yes and thank you! (for not listening anything I asked!!) Point is...I don't know... I feel dumber after all that!

wikiHow to Cut Baby Tomatoes
If you've ever simply given up trying to cut a baby tomato, not to mention several you aren't alone. These little puppies will slip from your hands as you try to grasp a hold of the tiny tomato, leaving room for uneven cuts and possibly cuts on you! Here's a nifty and quick way to slice not only one, but also several baby tomatoes at one--hazard free!
1Dump tomatoes onto a plate. You want an even layer of tomatoes, no tomatoes should be on top of each other.
3Slide your knife through the plate gap, working you way through the tomatoes. Your top hand should hold the plate in place so the tomatoes (and plate) don't roll around.
4Remove plate to reveal several perfectly cut baby tomatoes!

Ted Spiker may be the coauthor of numerous bestselling diet and health books, but the man just can't resist a good burrito. Or a bad burrito. (He's also eaten a 76-ounce steak, asserted that his wife's post-pregnancy jeans were the best-fitting pants he ever wore, and was asked by his own childhood doctor if his feminine shape" embarrassed him at the beach.) In Down Size, Ted takes readers on an inspiring, candid, and comical journey, exploring the art and science of weight loss through his own struggles as a pear-shaped man in a not-so-pear-shaped world, with research about food, exercise, and the psychology of losing weight. He reveals twelve truths about successful weight loss, in areas such as temptation, frustration, nutrition, and inspiration. Some truths: Redefine the Definition of Data Leave Behind Your Extra Gland Think Process, Not Outcome Train Shorter, Train Harder
Combining science, personal stories, expert interviews, and advice, Down Size is an entertaining, field-tested, and research-based look at how men and women can finally find the body they want.
Ted Spiker is co-author of the bestselling You series with Drs. Mehmet C. Oz and Michael Roizen and the bestselling Abs Diet series with David Zinczenko.

Unisonic is a German hard rock/power metal supergroup, founded in November 10, 2009 by former Helloween singer Michael Kiske alongside Dennis Ward and Kosta Zafiriou from Pink Cream 69 and Mandy Meyer, formerly in Asia and Gotthard. In 2011 the band was joined by Gamma Ray leader and Helloween co-founder, Kai Hansen. The band released the EP Ignition and their first studio album Unisonic in 2012. The EP For The Kingdom and the second album Light of Dawn came out in 2014. Both studio albums have scored high entries in several international music charts. Unisonic is the first full studio collaboration between Kiske and Hansen since Helloween's seminal albums Keeper of the Seven Keys, Pt. I and Pt. II.

2010 Exhibition of School Planning and Architecture
Spokane, Washington
The Lee Brockway Award for Renovations
High School
Community Environment:
John R. Rogers High School, originally built in 1932, was renovated and restored with a new addition designed to complement the classic art-deco design. The project provides a renewed, state-of-the-art high school and a refreshed, revitalized community icon in a working-class neighborhood with a proud history. The Rogers High School neighborhood is predominantly single-family residential with one arterial, Wellesley Avenue, bordering the north side of the site. Houses in the neighborhood are smaller 1930-1940-era homes.
Community Environment:
A voter-approved school facility improvement bond provided the funding for this project, located in a historical working-class area of Spokane. It was the goal of the architectural team to create a place that reflected the educational values and community pride of the surrounding neighborhoods. The finished building is one where teachers are happy, the students are excited, and the community is proud.
Learning Environment:
New construction and renovation include demolition and replacement of buildings that no longer served the modern educational process and needs. Renovated and new academic classrooms, replacement of career and technical education spaces, and replacement of the cafeteria with a new student commons all take into account the technological and social needs of the student. Increased gymnasium size with improved locker rooms, new safety and security systems, and community-use spaces ensure that the school's use reaches beyond the academic and into the community.
Learning Environment:
To maximize the number of teaching spaces with views, strategies such as incorporating overhead sectional doors with vision glazing into vocational labs were employed. The building is designed to meet the Washington Sustainable Schools Protocol.
The school was designed to provide either a departmental or a small-schools-within-a-school teaching model through careful planning of flexible teaching space locations.
Physical Environment:
Originally built in 1932, John R. Rogers High School was preserved and restored to complement the classic art-deco design. Drawing on experience from previous historical local high school renovations, specific attention was paid to create spaces that would both blend into the existing structure and stand apart as modern updates all while holding to the rigorous criteria of the National Register of Historic Places. The building totals 260,000 square feet, an increase of 90,000 square feet.
Physical Environment:
A new clock tower located near the student entrance to the commons becomes a beacon, clearly signaling to all that the main school entrance is now on the east side of the campus. This tower has become Rogers' signature element – an architectural identity icon.
Planning Process:
Community and alumni input was critical to the success of the project. Community members were involved in the design process from the beginning of schematic design.
The GC/CM process embraced by the school district allowed the general contractor to provide their expertise on various design options beginning with schematic design and continuing with their input on a range of issues such as constructability options during construction documents.
Planning Process:
Careful consideration was paid to phasing of the construction to allow seamless delivery of teaching with no interruption and minimal inconvenience. This was critical since the school was continually occupied during construction.

Circuit City reports $54.6 million loss
RICHMOND, Va. - Electronics retailer Circuit City Stores Inc. said Wednesday it lost $54.6 million in the first fiscal quarter - when it cut jobs to reduce costs and restructured to fend off competition - and withdrew its earnings guidance for 2008.
The results came a day after larger rival Best Buy Co. reported sharply lower first-quarter profit and downgraded its 2008 earnings outlook. Both retailers say the softening economy is steering shoppers away from high-margin items such as flat-screen televisions.
"There's a lot of overall concern" about the economy, said retail consultant Wendy Liebmann, president of WSL Strategic Retail, which analyzes consumer shopping patterns for retail industry clients. "When I see companies such as Best Buy and Circuit City talk about the impact of things like this - economic and confidence issues - on their shoppers, I'm more willing to accept this as a reason, more than a year ago."
Rising gas prices are having a direct impact on everyday spending, and middle-income shoppers are almost as likely to curb their spending as those with incomes under $50,000, Liebmann said.
Circuit City still plans to open 60 to 65 domestic stores during the fiscal year, with half of them replacing current stores, company officials said. It plans to open 75 to 100 new stores in fiscal 2009, officials said in the analysts' conference call.
FedEx reports 7 percent rise in 4Q earnings
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - FedEx Corp. posted a 7 percent increase in fourth-quarter profit Wednesday on higher revenue but said a sluggish U.S. economy dampened business.
The shipping giant forecast earnings growth in fiscal year 2008 below the company's long-term 10- to 15-percent target, in part because of planned investments necessary for the company's long-term health.
But FedEx said its own economists predict a bit of an economic upturn later this year.
FedEx shares rose $1.74, or 1.6 percent, to $109.80 Wednesday.
FedEx reported earnings of $610 million, or $1.96 per share for the three months ended May 31, up from $568 million, or $1.82 per share, a year ago.
FedEx said its focus is on the continued growth of its worldwide network, with $3.5 billion in capital spending expected in 2008, an increase of 20 percent over last year.
SEC tentatively agrees to ease accounting rule for foreign companies
WASHINGTON - Federal regulators on Wednesday tentatively agreed to ease an accounting requirement for foreign companies whose shares trade in the United States, a move seen as propelling them on a path toward a single global standard and the possible demise of the stricter U.S. rules.
The action by the Securities and Exchange Commission paves the way for a related change that would allow all public companies, when reporting financial results, to choose between international and U.S. accounting standards.
The step taken by the SEC on Wednesday would eliminate a requirement for foreign companies to "reconcile" their financial results with U.S. standards called generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Foreign companies, which already adhere to international financial reporting standards, or IFRS, say the SEC mandate is burdensome and costly.
The SEC commissioners also adopted rule changes allowing investors to choose between receiving annual proxy materials from companies on paper or electronically, starting in 2008.

SEATTLE - Microsoft fended off Google's antitrust complaints by agreeing to make it easier for computer users to choose competitors' programs, an increasingly common response from a company long accused of using its operating system's dominance to choke competition.
Microsoft's compromise with the U.S. Justice Department, detailed in a report released late Tuesday, allows Windows Vista users to set a non-Microsoft program as the default search engine on hard drives. Microsoft will also add a link to that alternate program in the Windows Start menu, but will not change the way Vista "Instant Search" technology works.
Recent concessions by Microsoft are part of a broader battle between the two companies. While Windows continues to dominate the desktop operating system market, Google's ability to make money from search advertising has left Microsoft scrambling to catch up. Google has also stepped into traditional Microsoft territory in the past year with a set of free, Web-based programs for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations.
The software maker based in Redmond, Wash., made similar adjustments in response the concerns of competitors as it prepared to launch Vista, its newest operating system, and other programs.
Computer security software companies testing early versions of Vista last year also believed that the operating system might interfere with users' ability to chose products other than Microsoft's.
China's regulatory standards chief vows to improve food safety standards
BEIJING - China's regulatory standards chief pledged Wednesday to update and boost enforcement of food safety rules as the country faces intense international pressure for exporting unsafe products from toothpaste to pet food ingredients.
Chinese-made toothpaste has been rejected by several countries from Latin America to Asia while Chinese wheat gluten tainted with the chemical melamine was blamed for dog and cat deaths in North America.
Other products turned away by U.S. inspectors include toxic monkfish, frozen eel and juice made with unsafe color additives.
"China will speed up revisions to national and industry standards on farm produce and processed food products," Liu Pingjun, chief of the National Standardization Management Commission, said in a statement posted Wednesday on the Web site of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
Liu said China had 1,965 national food safety standards at the end of 2006, 634 of which were mandatory, but that "the standards were on average 12 years old."
He said the goal was to ensure that domestic standards complied with international ones and that none of them were more than 4-1/2 years old.
Liu did not say what was wrong with the current standards or how they differed from international ones.
The backlash against tainted Chinese exports has forced the government onto the offensive. It recently highlighted at least four American products as unsafe or not up to Chinese safety standards.
At the same time, safety officials have urged better surveillance at all levels and promised to set up a food recall system, the country's first, by year's end.

Spent the day in Beautiful Ollantaytambo (the sacred valley). Instead of paying 130soles for a guided tour of a few ancient ruins I found some on my own for free and ended up trekking up an entire mountain! I have pictures but the computer is being used (I'm on the touch) so I'll have to post them later. Only 2 or 3 other people the whole way. Well I'm waking up at 4 to hike the rest of the way to machu picchu! Thanks for all the comments I love to read them. Gnight

Ellen, This is great! It looks like you're having a trip you will remember for years to come. Keep up the updates, and we are all a bit jealous, but that's OK. Continue on your trip safely and enjoy the sights and have a great trip. I'll comment along the way.
Amazing Ellen. I am too impressed for words. I cannot wait to hear about Machu Picchu.
I tried to leave a comment on "Music to my ears" but it wouldn't let me. So I'll comment here. I love, love the photos. Keep 'em coming.
