I would recommend you learn English before arguing further, fortune. I did not compare #1 and #8 (Cai/Fu were #2, btw). I simply said that the #2's performance was so good that they went through the match quickly and saved energy.
Neither did I call you stupid at any point (I claimed one of your arguments to be stupid). Stop mentioning sth that isnt true.
Anyhow, your whole argument is based on two hypotheses: a) that the Danes were in fact extemely tired, which can arguably be doubted (while they may not have been at 100%, they will have recovered as well as possible) and b) that in better shape, they would have gotten 50-60% more smash winners.
While hypothesis a) is an exaggeration, but might essentially be true (they might've been a little more tired than the Chinese), hypothesis b) is without any doubt wrong. Why would they have gotten so many more smash winners if they were in better physical shape? They lost most of the serve-return game, got few lifts, and actually did the best they could with what they got. However, they were just not good enough to create more attacking opportunities. Your whole hypothesis is based on the assumption that in better physical shape they would've gotten over 50% more attacking opportunities. That would not have happened. Cai/Fu were better in the serve/return situation, and that had nothing whatsoever to do with physical fitness. They also blew BoMo out of the water concerning flat, fast, drive-based game which occurs when both teams refuse to lift - BoMo were so afraid of Fu's attack that they rather tried to win an uphill battle in flat rallies than give him the opportunity to smash. The Chinese, however, were perfectly comfortable playing a game where they were superior, so they didn't see the need to lift too often.
Oh, and how does your whole 'extremely tired'-idea hold up to the fact that CM smashed hard until the very end? If he had in fact been so tired that he could not smash properly anymore, wouldn't anyone have noticed? Gill Clark, who has without a shadow of a doubt more experience in the sport than any of us, commented that the Danes were outclassed and that it was nearly a bit of a shame this final couldn't be as exciting and thrilling as the others because it was a "master class" by the Chinese.
I'm growing tired of you repeating your argument over and over again despite how many times it's been proven to be wrong, btw. Everyone else agrees that there's no way professional sportsmen are extremely tired when competing the same way as usual (no day of rest between matches). Why can't you just accept that? The way you argue makes it seem like you're a die-hard fan of the Danish combination and not the Chinese as you claim
One day rest is good to have but not essential. A top athlete if he wants to be the best must be prepared for the worse case scenario as far as fitness and stamina are concerned. If a contestant feels tired and a rest day is given whether by arrangement or stroke of luck, consider that a bonus; if not available,he still has to be prepared for battle. That, to me, is the hallmark of a true champion.
As we know fitness can be trained by anyone who is dedicated and hardworking but less so is skills training; even more so natural talent which different person is gifted to varying degrees though it has often been said that hard work can make up for lack of talent. So whatever it is, a professional player will never allow himself to be handicapped by lack of fitness, esp for those with inferior or insufficient talents.
About the rest day advantage, I have another thinking. I feel that it's more mental than physical. Mental weariness or unpreparedness affects the body much more than the other way round. Those cases you quoted I am inclined to view them as illustrations of this principle. In other words, to a player who is mentally strong, motivated,self-confident and possesses inner self-belief, that one day rest or lack thereof shouldn't make much of a difference, at least it won't be so significant as to be a decisive factor.
Haven't we heard of contests where a particular contestant seems to be labouring under difficult conditions or struggling against all odds particularly in the physical aspect but finally managing to overcome it by sheer willpower and determination? For this I need not provide illustrative examples for I believe we all have our own story to tell.
Simply put, if you're mentally tired, even if you're fairly strong and unstretched bodily you'll still feel drained,spent,exhausted. Conversely, a mentally 'high' person, self-driven, spirited is undeterred and ever ready to go on, and actually will make it through without showing noticeable signs of fatigue. This might sound cliched, an oversimplification, a truism but that's how I view it.
As an analogy, when a player says he's tired he may mean he's been playing too much badminton and just wants a break - this isn't the same as saying, in that match he was too weak to play from lack of rest. As we all know, professional players regularly train 7-8 hours a day, so what is an hour or more match a day; of course,tournament condition is different but it's more to do with the added mental stress than the physical demand which they can cope, barring injury.
It's your prerogative to use those examples to argue your case. Similarly,allow me the same privilege to quote your example to argue otherwise. For example, the case where Sony D K had 5-6 days rest for his SF Sudirman Cup'05 match while the Koreans had 3-4, slightly less for their next match - you used this two examples to conclude that the long break facilitated their subsequent victories. The problem is assertion is not the same as proof. How do you prove the number of days rest was what contributed to their wins - what if they'd lost? Surely there are cases where a player/team with rest day(s) went on to lose.
Another point I want to reiterate as I've said this elsewhere is: if a day's rest is necessary and advantageous, why are qualifiers at SS/GPG tournaments required to play two matches a day and immediately scheduled to play the next day if they qualify into the main draw, and that against higher-ranked opponents who start fresh in round one?
As an aside, frankly I'm impressed with your ability to call forth so much data,facts and figures to back up your arguments although I don't necessarily always agree with your judgements and conclusions. Your doing so must have caused you considerable research effort, possibly tedious and painstaking work unless you have special means or access to resources not widely available to most of us or maybe you posses a secret technique(?). Needles to say, without questioning their veracity, many of us reading your posts would have indirectly derived benefits from them in terms of details and knowledge gained, thanks to you.
My parting shot: I can confidently say, Bo/Mo with or without the one day rest will probably lose to Cai/Fu at the LOG Final assuming they all play at or near their best. A subjective claim nonetheless.

No sign of fatigue after playing for 81 mintues ? Do you think they just walk around for 81 minutes ? If they play like the 4 pairs in WD, yes, I agree they are not tired. So you wanna say the preparation of all players / pairs in OG is the same when they prepare for SS events ? What a joke hahaha Only slightly better shape ? So according to you, the 81 minutes of SF duel didn't make significant impact for them ??? Even 2 times World champion Nova needs one day rest for stamina recovery after 32 minutes of duel Yeah, all of us already know Fu has the fastest smash in the world, but BoMo also not far behind. In their first duel, China Masters 07, Cai/Fu can make 14 smash winners vs 3. But when the Danes already know Cai/Fu style, they are almost pretty even. In the other 7 duels, only 3 smash winners (138 vs 135) separates Cai/Fu and Bo/Mo. Read once again, only 3 within 7 duels. The only stupid thing is BoMo can fires 28 smash winners against Jung/Lee (when both pairs are very fit, and LYD focus only in MD for the last 2 - 3 days). And as far as I know, Cai/Fu defence is not as solid as Jung/Lee. That's the reason why I said BoMo can win if they are fit, as they already proved in the SF when they win against World #1 and clear favorite Jung/Lee. A day of rest already enough for BoMo to beat Jung/Lee...thanks to 28 smash winners, against the pair that has the most solid defence in the world in the last 2 - 3 years. After playing for 70 minutes, BoMo still can make 2 - 3 smash winners. Really different with final, especially in the second set. When you are extremely tired, it is very likely to do more mistakes. It seems that you don't know much about rest days. Rest for 3 months (+/- 90 days) is not good for your performance, not to mention the 500 days. Cai/Fu can slaughtered BoMo if the Danes rest for 500 days LOL . 500 days of rest is bad for everyone lol . About 1 rest day ? I think it is not my hallucination, as BoMo can beat the world #1

I know my English not so good, but I can clearly understand what you mean. I would recommend you to improve your logic before arguing further, j4ckie. Koo/Tan is not in the same level as the other 3 (this is your own words)...means an easier opponent, that's why Cai/Fu can win it quickly...,while BoMo facing the toughest opponent, even stronger than Cai/Fu, no wonder if the match going into rubber sets, and finished more than 80 minutes. If Jung/Lee = world #9, yes...it can compare...I'm agree with you, it was BoMo's fault. But now, you are comparing #1 and #8. What a joke hahaha I just wanna say, if you are not smart enough, never say stupid to others Even Nova needs one day rest after 32 minutes duel. So 81 minutes duel doesn't need one day rest ? How about the comment of Park Joo Bong and Taufik ? Can you explain ? Cai/Fu only plays for 36 minutes, BoMo for 81 minutes (longer more than twice), so this is called a little more tired ?
When both pairs are very fit, BoMo can win against Jung/Lee. While they are extremely tired, they can give a good fight vs Cai/Fu When you are extremely tired, most of your shots going into the wrong direction. I didn't notice about Gill Clark comment. I only concetrate to watch the game. And even she not mention about extremely tired, doesn't mean BoMo not extremely tired. Maybe she is trying to pleased the China fans that are "tired" already with her anti-China comment as usual Have you seen my previous post about China players ?Last edited by Fortune; 09-28-2012 at 02:51 AM.
needs moar extremely tired
Ahh yes,my friend, on the surface you seem to have caught me contradicting myself but allow me to say that's because you inadvertently quoted me out of context.
My first post #1612 stated that it isn't necessarily a good thing...disrupts the momentum...doing more harm than good.
My second post #1617, after the sentence you quoted, I went on at length about the mental aspect being much more important and so on and so forth, downplaying the significance of rest day(s). To recap, I was actually saying the rest day advantage is more of the mind than the body and that practically every professional athlete is able to cope with the physical demands of their sport, only fearing injury.
To add, I don't remember any world class player attributing their defeat to fatigue or conversely their victory to having rest day(s). I recall someone mentioning WSX once complained of tiredness (not sure in the mental or physical sense) to her coach ZN after losing to Lu Lan in the Asia BC 2011 and was roundly berated for her poor excuse.(I admit I'm not able to verify that incident).
I would also say Bo/Mo after their resounding triumph over Chung/Lee in the LOG SF must be feeling elated and supercharged to take on Cai/Fu knowing they are at least assured of silver; therefore feeling too tired to play ought to be the last thing on their minds;on the contrary,they should be raring to go. Simply put, I doubt they were mentally nor physically too tired when playing Cai/Fu.
Nevertheless, let's agree to disagree. Thanks for the exchange of views.

If I'm not wrong, every player / pair want to avoid the toughest opponent until the final, so they can go all out, in order to win the match and also the title. If they meet in SF or before, this is the consequences : tired or even extremely tired for the next match, which can reduce your chance to win the title. Jung/Lee or Cai/Fu was tired or extremely tired, they still have a chance to win against BoMo. But if BoMo was extremely tired, it is game over. I think the comment from Nova is clear : "luckily we have one rest day for stamina recovery before competing". From this statement, I think it is physical Taufik, Nova, and Park Joo Bong squads are regularly train for 7 - 8 hours, but they are tired (after playing more than 65 or 70 minutes) and need one day rest to perform well in the next match. The reason ? I don't know. I have to ask them first before I can answer it. Indonesia still do the same thing if they played against China in the group stage, from UC 1996, SC 05, SC 09, TC & UC 2012. I don't think that the Indonesian coach are very stupid as they failed all of them except UC 96 ? Are they very stupid ? I don't think so. Korea do the same in SC 09. So Korea coach is stupid ? I don't think so. For SS events, I think it is just temporary. If a player / pair successfully being ranked no 25 or 26, I think they don't need to play from the qualification stage, right ? However, if we want to make it fair for everyone, then the 1st seed has to play 6 matches to win the title, compare only 5 matches in SS. Which one do you prefer ? we have different opinion.
A brief synopsis of fatigue
Given the complex redundancy in most biological systems, it is unlikely that a single locus or mechanism will explain fatigue and exercise limitation under all conditions. Later this year, we will no doubt enjoy the quadrennial Olympic festival of sports and marvel at the athletic achievements on display. They will provide great entertainment and enjoyment, but perhaps also stimulate our physiological curiosity in trying to understand just how they were achieved.
A very interesting,insightful synopsis from the scientific perspective, thanks for the introduction,Cheung.
IMHO, science itself, as always and widely held, can be very advanced as far as the physical or physiological aspects are concerned but not when human affairs are involved such as in the social sciences, psychology, psychoanalysis or dealing with the emotions or what we call the 'mind' (as distinct from the human brain).
Even in medical science, the brain and its central nervous system is the last frontier of the human body yet to be conquered; there's much that we still don't know about it unlike the rest of the body, something neuro-scientists and neurologists in general admit as much but you don't expect them to tell their patients/subjects,thereby exposing their ignorance. Pardon me if I sound presumptuous for expressing my layman's view.
In that article you linked,let me highlight the following extract I deem worthy of our attention - note the word "psyche" (in psychology it refers to the human mind) is put in inverted commas in a way acknowledging that science has no definitive knowledge of it yet:
"... There can be little doubt that the regulation of central motor output is crucial in determining exercise performance. The great Finnish runner Paavo Nurmi stated Mind is everything, muscle pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind. The strong motivation for success, coupled with the fatigue resistance obtained through years of intense training, no doubt contributes to the outstanding athletic feats so often observed in the sporting arena. But there can be a fine line between glory and catastrophe, with this same motivation sometimes pushing athletes beyond the limits that fatigue might have ordinarily imposed. Understanding the complex links between the psyche and neuromuscular activation is a challenge for the future...." (End of extract).
And, mind you (pun unintended), we aren't talking about mind-altering drugs or anabolic steroids as they are still within the domains of physiology not the 'mind' or 'psyche' as in the sense of "mind over matter". Being no expert, I shan't say more except to express some evocative thoughts.
Could've, would've, should've. Life's not fair. Take the hand you're dealt and deal with it. Fact is...the best team won. End of story.

Continued large-scale habitat destruction and decimation of prey populations are the major long-term threats to the continued existence of tigers in the wild.
Losing habitat and prey
Continued large-scale habitat destruction and decimation of prey populations are the major long-term threats to the continued existence of tigers in the wild.
Tiger habitat destruction: a sad video story
September 2009
A camera trap set up by WWF deep in the jungle captured first ever images of a rare female Sumatran tiger and her cubs.After years of studying tigers using wildlife-activated camera traps set up in the forest, these were celebrated as the first images of a this tiger species with offspring.
At the time, however, worries about the safety of the area were already expressed by WWF scientists.
"The territory of this tigress is being rapidly cleared by two global paper companies, palm oil plantations, encroachers, and illegal loggers", said Karmila Parakkasi, leader of WWF-Indonesia's Sumatran tiger research team.
WWF also urged paper companies operating in the area – Sinar Mas/APP and APRIL - as well as palm oil plantations to help protect all high conservation value forests under their control that are the habitat of tigers and other endangered species.
May/June 2010
New camera trap videos and photos captured a male Sumatran tiger walking straight to a camera and sniffing it.A week later, the heat-activated-video camera trap documented a bulldozer clearing trees for an illegal palm oil plantation in the same exact location.
The next day, the camera recorded a Sumatran tiger walking through the devastated landscape.
You can stop this!
- Roarrr for tigers!
- Sign our tiger petition
- Demand sustainable palm oil
- Look for certified paper and wood products
- Donate to our tiger projects
A story that repeats itself
Over the past 6 decades, tiger habitat has been extensively destroyed, degraded and fragmented by human activities - mainly clearing of forests for agriculture and the timber trade as well as development activities such as the building of road networks.
In the last 10 years, tiger habitat decreased by an alarming 45%. Today, tigers occupy just 7% of their historic range.
Why do we need to protect tiger habitat?
Such extensive habitat loss and fragmentation has forced tigers into small, scattered islands of remaining habitat.Tigers need large territories, so reduced habitat means that fewer tigers can survive in the wild.
In addition, isolated populations are more susceptible to inbreeding, and small islands of habitat are more accessible to poachers than large tracts of natural forest.
Along with habitat loss, tigers have suffered from severe loss of natural prey populations - in particular, ungulates such as wild deer, goats, sheep, and pigs - either due to direct hunting by people or through competition with domestic animals.

I found on ancestry.com a genealogic tree abt:

Maria Adelaide Burlando

I believe that Rosina birth place is in Torino area also... maybe Canischio more probable, because in Braidwood some other Crosetto coming from Canischio.. I know not because Rosina declared "Alpina" that is a adjective and not a substantive...

Difference between first author and co-first author
Posted 21 February 2013 - 10:35 PM
Does it matter who comes first? (I think the first co-first author gets cited instead of co-1, co-2 et al 2013).
Posted 22 February 2013 - 12:42 AM
Usually the citation will be the first author only, but it depends on the citation style you use.
Posted 22 February 2013 - 09:44 PM
Technically co-authors are all the authors on the paper. Some papers specify if more than one author has put in an equal contribution.(e.g. author X*, author Y* author Z. *-these authors contributed equally to this work).
Usually the citation will be the first author only, but it depends on the citation style you use.
but in most citation styles, the equal contributors dont get cited at all (e.g. X et al 2013 instead of X, Y, Z et al 2013)

Just curious, is a first authorship then "worth more" than a shared first authorship ?
If papers are quoted, its always the first author that will get the quote... So even if they have a shared first authorship, in the end its the first one that gets his name in the quotes.
The first on are always the ones people remember ... (with the last one, but those are just remembered because they allready established their name)

The Legacy of Flight
Images from the archives of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.
- By David Romanowski and Melissa Keiser
- AirSpaceMag.com, September 14, 2010
Equipped with drop tanks for a long-distance mission, a flight of North American P-51 Mustangs fills the frame. The Mustangs—from top to bottom: Lou IV, unnamed, Sky Bouncer, and Suzy-C—belong to the 375th Fighter Squadron, 361st Fighter Group, Eighth Air Force. Based in England, the squadron accompanied formations of B-17s on bombing missions over Germany.

Can some knowledgeable person comment upon why the
canopy of the distant (of the four) F-51 seems
different from the others. EDITORS' REPLY: According to Melissa Keiser and David Romanowski's book, "The top three airplanes are P-51Ds, the first model with the distinctive bubble canopy, which improved the pilot's view toward the rear. Suzy-C, by contrast, is a P51B with the earlier canopy design."

The caption of photo 9 is not phrased well.
The thousands of men who serviced and flew the B-24 Liberator also deserve some acknowledgment as the "might" of the Mighty Eigth Air Force's daylight campaign.

Note the second P-51 aircraft has a revised tail.

Let me just make an inocuous comment; as an ex-86D driver, your stuff is the first I note each AM.

I realise this is faaarrrr from perfect but distracting backgrounds, rain (all day!), fiddetgy and often rude spectators, lots of misfires, heavy lens ... blah...
This is from a Napoleonic reenactment at Woollaton Hall at the weekend, really good despite the rain and probably one of the best organised I've seen to date.

A good close crop to cut out all those distractions. Not sure what that guy's going to hit with his eyes closed!!
Brilliant shapes and patterns that almost make this abstract, yet its still real. excellent.
Excellent image, It needs no excuses but stands on its own merits very well indeed. Love the colour, clarity and atmosphere. Intriguing last comment by Gwynn
Thanks for all the votes and comments everyone, much appreciated
This is the sort of image I was wanting to create. I realise that I had too small a focal length and too far away for graet clarity. I will expect miracles.
Great shot andinspirational for me.
Nice work.

Mini Brownie Treats Recipe

- Prepare brownie mix according to package directions for fudge-like brownies. Fill paper-lined miniature muffin cups two-thirds full.

- Immediately top each with a chocolate kiss. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 4 dozen.
Reviews for Mini Brownie Treats(13)
Sort By :
I made these for a treat at work for Valentines Day & they were a hit.
I make this recipe often for family and church. I use the dark chocolate, milk chocolate and peanut butter and striped kisses...they are all great! I just spray the mini pans and put the batter right in without the paper liners....everyone loves them! I think mint would be good too if they had that flavor....
I was looking for something different to make for kids' class Valentine's parties. I used the Hersheys' Hugs that are shown in the picture, the problem is if you immediately put them on the brownies while they're still warm, they melt into a puddle. For whatever reason, the chocolate kisses don't do that, but the white chocolate ones do. The next batch I'll let them cool off a bit before putting the kisses on. Other than that they're perfect!
The best way to use a brownie mix....ever since I started putting my brownie mix in cupcake pans that is the only way I do it now.......everyone raves about them.
I have made them 4 times in the last week for each of my sister's family;;what a big hit

Enter the dark, magical world of the House of Night, a world very much like our own, except here vampyres have always existed. Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird has just been Marked as a fledgling vampyre and joins the House of Night, a school where she will train to become an adult vampyre. That... read more
Zoey Redbird, a 16-year-old girl has been marked. After, being shunned by her "friends" and family (except her ex-boyfriend Heath), Zoey goes to her grandmother's house and, finding a note that says her grandmother was at her lavender fields, goes through the woods that lead to said field but... read more (warning: may contain spoilers)
"Zoey Redbird Daughter of Night , I name you my eyes and ears in the world today, a world where good and evil are struggling to find balance"Nyx
"Darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good."Nyx
"But I'm sixteen! I can't even parallel-park! How am I supposed to know how to be your eyes and ears?"Zoey Redbird
"Well, I guess being the next Nicole Kidman wouldn't be bad (not that I plan on marrying and then divorcing a manic short guy)"Zoey Redbird
"And this is our token guy in our group, Damien Maslin. But he's gay, so I don't really think he counts as a guy."Stevie Rae
"Actually, since I'm gay I think I should count for two guys instead of just one. I mean, in me you get the male point of view and you don't have to worry about me wanting to touch your boobies."Damien Maslin
"Kayla, if you don't shut up I'll fly down there and suck every last bit of blood from your stupid cheating cow body!"Zoey Redbird
"Zoey Montgomery! Night has chosen thee; thy death will be thy birth. Night calls to thee; hearken to Her sweet voice. Your destiny awaits you at the House of Night."Tracker
"Oh no..." I whispered to myself, "it would be just my luck to get a raging case of diarrhea."Zoey Redbird
"If everyone called things what they are we'd all be a lot less confused. For instance, you know when I have to go to the bathroom I state the obvious - I have urine that needs to come out of my urethra. Simple. Easy. Clear."Damien Maslin
"It didn't work because it seemed like a crude imitation of Neferet's dance to "She Walks in Beauty." If this music was a poem it would be more like "Some Ho Grinds Her Bootie."Zoey Redbird
"It's Star Wars, the original ones. I know all the lines for all the parts." He leaned closer and whispered again. "I can even do Chewbacca's parts."Erik Night
"Don't you think baby corns are scary? There's just something wrong about their midget bodies."Erik Night
"The entire world knew that there was nothing anyone could do to bring on the Change. The whole "if you get bit by a vampyre you'll die and become one" thing is strictly fiction. Scientists have been trying to figure out what causes the sequence of physical events that leads to vampyrism for years, hoping that if they figure it out they could cure it, or at least invent a vaccine to fight against it. So far, no such luck. But now John Heffer, my step loser, had suddenly discovered that bad teenage behavior-specifically my bad behavior, which mostly consisted of an occasional lie, some pissed off thoughts and smart-ass comments directed primarily against my parents, and maybe some semi-harmless lust for Ashton Kutcher(sad to say he likes older women)- actually brought about this physical reaction in my body. Welll, hell! Who knew?"Zoey Montgomery
"Well, he was wearing those really bad pants with that awful shirt. Clearly he did need some things explained to him by a teenager, but I didn't think it was the right time to mention his unfortunate and obvious fashion impairment"Zoey to her step loser
"Oh, God, I'm sorry I-" I broke off, wondering if it was okay to say "God". Would it offend Neferet, a High Priestess who wore her Goddess Mark so proudly? Hell, would it offend Nyx? Oh, God. What about saying "Hell"? It was my favorite cuss word ever. (Okay, it was really the only cuss word I used reguarly.)"Zoey
"Okay, I knew exactly what she was talking about, but it wasn't because I'm a hopeless history nerd. It's because when I was younger I thought I was in love with Leonardo DiCaprio, and my mom got me the entire DVD collection of his movies for my twelfth birthday. This particular movie I watched so many times I still have most of it memorized (and I cannot tell you how many times I snot cried when he slipped off that board and floated away like an adorable Popsicle)."Zoey Redbird
"As he said the last 2 lines his eyes locked with mine and, just like in the hall the day before, it seemed as if there was no one else in the room- no one else in the world."Zoey Redbird:
"Zo, whatever's happened with your body is cool with me. You look seriously hot. You've always been beautiful, but now you look like a real goddess. (page 178)"Heath
"But I noticed Aphrodite wasn't looking at the dress. She was looking at my Mark, which bugged the crap out of me. Ok, my Mark is colored in- get over it already! I didn't say anything, though. I mean, this was totally her "party" and I was the guest. Translation: I was totally outnumbered, so I better be good. (page 157)"Zoey Redbird
"Magic! They were actually praying for magic! Would it work-could it work? Was there really magic in this world? (page 147)"

And, a 200# YFT
OK (bear with me)a second posting:
A U.S. Warden (Embassy) Message has been issued to inform persons traveling to and residing in Venezuela that the countrys Ministry of Infrastructure has indefinitely closed the first bridge on the Caracas-La Guaira highway (viaduct collapsed). The highway is the principal link between Caracas and Maiquetia Simon Bolivar International Airport (CCS), as well as between Caracas and the countrys principal seaport, La Guiara.
Due to concerns regarding the safety and security of the alternative routes,(very narrow unlit mountain roads passing through isolated areas) precautions should be taken. {The U.S. Embassy has determined that Embassy employees and their dependents must restrict their time on the roads to daylight hours. Use of official vehicles will also be required.}
Major delays, in excess of two hours, are expected between Caracas and the Maiquetia Simon Bolivar International Airport.
Travelers in and out of Venezuela should consult with their charter agents and/or airlines regarding possible changes in schedules.
Again, for those of you (like me) heading down for the March/April Blue Marlin run this is something we have to take into account. Stay informed by contacting your charter agent and by monitoring the Embassy Website. WGB
I've sent an e-mail into my charter service in the country (Nani) and he will tell me if it is between La Guaira and the airport OR between the airport and Caracas. I also inquired about safety of night driving. I'll post what I find out. WGB
UPDATE: And a good one.
The closed road is between the airport and Caracas. The road to LaGuaira is open. With the road problem being the other side of the airport there are fewer locals fishing, coming to Caraballeda, and using Port Azul. All is fine. The blues are averaging 100 kilos, sails and whites are in and yellowfin are thicker than even last year. Sounds like all is normal. WGB

Internet Applications (RIA), has emerged from the mix of JavaScript
frameworks, libraries and object-oriented development techniques as
a one of the clear leaders. Ext JS combines an extensive library of
super-high-quality widgets, an intuitive, extensible component
model, and an easy-to-use API to create a full, rock-solid platform
for JavaScript-based web apps. Ext JS has been adopted by such
household names as Adobe, Aetna, Amazon.com, Best Buy Hallmark,
Panasonic, Pixar Animation Studios, Siemens, Sony, and Visa.
Ext JS in Action teaches the reader about Ext from the
ground up. By following the common design patterns demonstrated in
the Ext source and in many commercial applications, the book
teaches you to achieve the same results you see in world-class
commercial JavaScript applications. This book will guide you
through the Ext component model and layouts. You'll learn how core
components, such as the Container class, serve as building blocks
for building complex user interfaces. The book fully covers Ext
utility classes, AJAX, Observable (the Ext events model), DOM
helpers and Function Helpers and illustrates how use of JavaScript
Object Notation (JSON), a powerful and lightweight data format, can
allow your application to efficiently communicate over the network
to the web server. Finally, you'll build on this foundation to
customize or extend Ext widgets.
Ext JS in Action assumes that you have a solid foundation

This is a good book, perfect to learn ExtJS quickly and easily, but if you want to rule the framework it seems a little basic in some aspects. It is well written and clearly explains all the key concepts of the framework.

It occured to me that so far all soldier voices we've heard have been american, now whilst I don't have anything against the dulcet tones of our cousins across the pond I'm certainly hoping for more varied dialects. I'm going to find it difficult to suspend belief when a multi national force sound like the cast of jersey shore!.
Has there been any word from the developers on this?

New dispensation will inherit injured economy and diminished diplomatic legacy
By Prabhu Chawla
Published: 08th September 2013 07:18 AM
Last Updated: 08th September 2013 07:46 AM
Diplomacy is not just the art of sweeping difficult situations under the carpet. It is also an instrument to score invisible victories. Indian diplomats have acquired new expertise in converting inconvenient realities into inglorious heritage. Last week, when Defence Minister A K Antony was cornered for his ministry's failure to contain the Chinese Army's growing incursions along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), he blamed the 1962 war for India's current border woes. Antony hardly speaks his own mind. But he was told by diplomats that sending strong signals of protest to the Chinese would provide fuel to warmongers and pseudo-nationalists. For the past few years, Indian diplomats have become internationalists who care more about how their words impact international community than their domestic consequences. Never before has the Indian Foreign Service been so concerned about kowtowing to aggressors like Pakistan and China as they are during the UPA regime. Absolving our hostile neighbours is their new mission. For example, for the past few months China's People's Liberation Army has been arrogantly establishing physical control over large areas falling on the Indian side of the LAC. But India's Ambassador to Beijing Subrahmanyam Jaishankar is more concerned about his future responsibilities as India's next ambassador to the US. It is during his three-year tenure that China successfully captured not only India's markets by dumping cheap goods but also expanded her geographical girth. Yet he has been rewarded with a better assignment for failing to raise the alarm and advising the government to take corrective measures against our neighbour's hostile intentions. Jaishankar represents the new breed of Indian diplomats who are successful in pursuing their own agenda even at the cost of damaging the political credibility of the government they serve. It is not surprising that not even once have the Opposition and foreign policy experts blamed our diplomats for ignoring the national mood. After some of them realised that in the New World Order, strategic and security considerations play an important role in their future prospects, they are succumbing to the pressure mounted by strategic thinkers. Since adopting an aggressive posture against Pakistan and China is deemed as going against global strategic considerations, South Block mandarins are willing to sacrifice good diplomacy to protect strategic dialogue, whether in India or abroad.
In the past decade, the offices of the National Security Advisors of countries, from the US to India, define the contours of diplomatic moves. Their objective is to ensure an unreal yet tenuous global peace even if the results are lethal economic and security blowbacks in the long run. It is not just a coincidence that both China and Pakistan have taken on India at a time when America is involved in containing or toppling regimes in West Asia using its military might. The US establishment is determined to ignore domestic opinion against military intervention in Syria. It's no wonder that the US advises India to exercise restraint but ignores China and Pakistan's military adventurism. Taking a cue from Big Brother, Indian opinion-makers and think tank "intellectuals" have maintained a diplomatic silence against US aggression in West Asia. New York was the centre for launching the US economic doctrine for the rest of the world. Now Washington has become the launching capital for defining the template for global security.
Last fortnight when I wrote about the collapse of Indian diplomacy, a failed and accidental diplomat launched a diatribe against me. Short of calling me names, he questioned my sources and logic, forgetting that I knew more about his kind of diplomacy and other shenanigans going on in South Block. There were a couple of factual errors in my column. The thrust of the article, however, was that cronyism is the key determinant for choosing diplomats to key positions. Some officers like Ashok Kantha and P S Raghavan mentioned in my column are outstanding officers with impeccable integrity, but their appointments were marred by the ad hoc selection of other colleagues for better sinecures. Now the government is moving fast to fill vacant posts and correcting past errors. For example, I questioned the absence of an expert to deal with the Nuclear Suppliers Group. Last week the Prime Minister chose Dr Rakesh Sood as his envoy to deal with disarmament. Sood is one of the rare diplomats who knows nuclear diplomacy and science like the back of his hand. Similarly, the foreign ministry finalised the appointment of the current Ambassador to Malaysia, Vijay Keshav Gokhale, a 1981-batch officer as India's next envoy to Germany. His compulsory foreign language is Chinese, yet he has been picked to replace Sujatha Singh who took over as foreign secretary recently. T S Tirumurti, an Arabic-speaking officer of 1985 batch, replaces Gokhale. An excellent diplomat, Tirumurti has been "rewarded" for his rebellious nature; in 2011, he was moved from the key position of joint secretary (BSM). The Prime Minister, however, is yet to find a candidate for the UK because he has to make a choice between a person who can protect both the Indian market and security or one whose only concern would be to become a part of the diplomacy dictated by Big Brother.
As the elections draw near, the PMO is moving very cautiously, since the next government would scrutinise in detail the credentials and credibility of those diplomats who have been or would be chosen for important assignments. With half a dozen of them retiring within the next few months, Indian diplomacy is also likely to suffer much damage to its authority and effectiveness along with the political establishment. The new dispensation will not only inherit a mauled economy but also a diminished diplomatic legacy.

Diplomacy is all humbug. China was isolated for nearly 30 years during the cold war years during that period China built its economy and infrastructure on its own and today you find that even US has go to China if it wants to come out of economic meltdown.

Prabhuji seems to know as much about the twists and turns in India's diplomatic service as le Carre does about the atmosphere of the British secret service. There could be a fine novel hidden somewhere.

Good piece. The UPA has at least to take resolute action for infiltrations into UTTARKHAND.Its absence,however, is very dangerous for India. UPA's Foreign policy is negative.

Congress is the enemy inside, and enemy inside is more dangerous than enemies outside. Congress will reduced India to its half by 2050, and finish totally by 2100. Write down.

Excellent editorial by Prabhuji. BharatK - I wish what you have envisaged becomes true but not until 2050 or so, it must occur by 2020, for India to shine on every faculty of governance, diplomacy, security, and more particularly for the peaceful co-existence of Indians in India (cutting across caste,creed,religious vertical). Congress must be wiped out from the political scene completely. As the famous idiom says 'what Bengalis think today, India would think after 20-25 years' something like that; Congress has been wiped out by and large 40 years before in TN. To some extent, it was equally true in WB. We citizens can only breath easy if Congress is removed the political arena!!

Austin Public Works Department Uses Glass Crusher to Make Artificial Sand and Gravel
The Austin (Texas) Department of Public Works installs a new concrete sidewalk on top of a two-inch layer of fine grained glass made of waste diverted from its landfill. At $5 to $6 per ton, the re-purposed glass can compete in price with natural aggregate.
A glass crusher makes glass cullet out of waste glass at a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Austin, Texas. The crusher can output cullet in various consistencies, as course as pebbles or as fine as sand. It can then be used as landscape mulch for walking trails, drainage media for pervious pavements, backfill for a retaining wall, or bedding material under sidewalks and small diameter water and service lines.
Cullet that is clean and sorted by color can fetch as much as $60 per ton in some markets, but unsorted glass co-mingled with other waste is virtually worthless to manufacturers. However, it can bring $6 per ton as an aggregate substitute for roadbeds and other projects.
Keri Burchard-Juarez, P.E., PMP is the Assistant Director for Engineering and Capital Project Delivery for the City of Austin Public Works Department.
Steven J. Penshorn, P.E., CPM, is a Supervising Engineer for Quality and Standards Management in the City of Austin Public Works Department.

It's easy to do and it's free!
Working for a large glass container manufacturer, it's great to see alternative methods for recycling glass. However, if the glass can be sorted, we can use it to make more bottles. Glass is endlessly recyclable. There is a glass processor near Dallas with color sorting technology that we buy from.

The trail is not easy. Take your time. Begin early in the day. But the hike is more than worth it. The views are beautiful and you have to see the beauty of the lake and waterfalls to appreciate it.
Excellent very challengling hike. In 1mile you hike up 2000 ft. You need really good hiking shoes. The lake is spectacular as are the views. As you near the top, there are railings because it is so steep. You need to be fairly athletic. It takes about an hour. It is very crowded in summer....fall is a good time to... More
Several friends recommended we make the trek to Hanging Lake. It was a fantastic trip with spectacular vistas. Be ready for a little challenging sections of trail, but be ready to be rewarded for your effort. Make sure you go the extra distance to Gushing Rock.
Pretty good hike up hill for just over a mile to a beautiful lake with water falls. Its a nice, short hike, but crowded. Usually I like to do more strenuous, long hikes where it is just me and a few others alone with nature. I probably wouldnt go to Hanging Lake again and would only recommend going if you... More
A bit of a challenge to get up to the lake but totally worth every step once you get there. I didnt realize how pretty it would be there.. how aqua the water was, how lush the vegetation, and waterfalls everywhere!! You need to also make the left turn to go to Spouting Rock. Definitley bring hiking sticks if youve... More
Got there early in case parking lot filled again. The hike is beautiful and the lake and waterfal are wonderful as always.
The end is not the means in this hike, because the hiking end point is not so unique or distinctive to make it noteworthy. The real value of hanging lake lies in the hike up and back, but the lake (really a pond) has a unique light-blue color that is worth seeing.
This is a bit of a walk - about 1.2 miles uphill - some of it over boulders and scree but its worth it to see the waterfall and sprouting rock. Go early morning or late in the day to avoid the heat but give yourself enough time to get down before it gets dark as some parts could be... More
My husband and I took the 2 mile round trip trail to Hanging Lake Trail. There is a wide concrete sideway to take from the parking lot to the trail head and that takes about 5 minutes.

iPhone 5 will reportedly launch in the fall
The iPhone 5 will make its debut in the fall, at least according to Japanese blog Macotakara.
Pointing to a scoop from an "Asian reliable source," the site says that Apple will unveil its next iPhone in September or October and maintain that same launch cycle for years.
In the past Apple has traditionally released its latest iPhone in the early summer, with the iPhone 4 and 3GS reaching customers in June and the 3G in early July. But last year the company broke the mold by delaying the debut of the iPhone 4S until October.

Office of Community Life
A Welcome from the Assistant Dean of Students & Community Life
Welcome to the Office of Community Life! This office aids and mentors students through the process of their educational journey, including the major milestones of their degree programs. We also oversee pastoral services for PSR students and assist faculty and student organizations in developing a shared vision and practice of student formation. We can provide immediate pastoral care for the PSR community in emergency situations when the Pastoral Care Team and the Campus Care Network are not available.
For more information, drop by Community Life offices where you will find plenty of resources to ensure your time at seminary is rich and rewarding.
Contact Office of Community Life
New contact information coming Fall 2013!
OCL Mission
PSR is a diverse community reflecting regional, national, and international interests and perspectives. The cultural diversity of PSR provides a very rare opportunity for students to engage difference as a gift: as a spiritual practice. Conscious engagement of cultural differences head on allows students to grow emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. Thus time spent at PSR is an occasion for the kind of personal and spiritual growth that happens in a vibrant working and learning community. The Office of Community Life (OCL) is designed to provide support and nurture students as they adjust to this new phase of life.
A significant aspect of OCL's mission is to provide students the learning opportunity to make conscious connections between what they learn in classroom settings with the non-academic aspect of campus life, in particular, the relationships that they build outside the classroom and the gifts that they offer to the PSR community. Conscious awareness of interconnections between classroom learning and relationships on campus provides rich soil for spiritual growth and learning. It allows students to intentionally integrate theory and praxis in the moment.
OCL Ministries
Community Life provides space for relationship building and networks of support in various ways:
Organize Community-building Events
We host events to provide the PSR community an opportunity to fellowship: First Thursdays (held the first Thursday of each month), Community Life Open Houses (twice per semester), Christmas Dinner, and Eschatos, the end of the school year party. While OCL hosts many events, the majority of the community-building events and activities that happen in the PSR campus are led by students. Interested in organizing a support or interest group on campus? (Click here for more info on the nuts and bolts of building community at PSR). Check the PSR weekly calendar for student-led events and activities. Click here for a list of student groups on campus.
Circles of Care
Through the "circles of care," the OCL provides networks of support for the PSR community in four ways: a) pastoral care through the Pastoral Care Team, b) peer listening through the Campus Care Network, c) vocational discernment through the assistant dean of students, and d) outside resources of support—a list of counseling centers, and a list of spiritual directors, counselors and therapists for students.
Workshop: Engaging Difference As Spiritual Practice
OCL provides a three-part workshop each semester that provides students practical tools and frameworks so they can do well the work of building community on campus: Part 1—Practical tools for small group facilitation; Part 2—Integration of academic learning (critical or systemic analysis) and the action-reflection learning process; Part 3—Active listening and tools for nonviolent and non-defensive communication.
PSR Weekly Calendar: A Networking Tool
The weekly calendar keeps students informed about events on campus and off. Students may publicize their activities and events by posting them into the PSR Web site's internal networking tool called "Satchel."
Orientations and Commencement
We organize student orientation in the beginning of the fall and spring semester, and the commencement ceremony in the end of the school year.
Partnership with CAPSR Council (Community Association of PSR)
OCL works closely with the CAPSR Council in building community and advocating for student needs and concerns on campus.

What is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)? |
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a heterogeneous group of heritable connective tissue disorders, characterized by articular (joint) hypermobility, skin extensibility, tissue fragility, easy bruisability of the skin and a bleeding diathesis (tendency). EDS is named for two physicians (Ehlers and Danlos) who described forms of the condition in the early 1900's. A syndrome is simply a "collection of characteristics". There are six major types of EDS; the Classical, Hypermobility, Vascular, Kyphoscoliosis, Arthrochalasia, and Dermatosparaxis Types. These types are not gradations in severity, but represent distinct disorders that "run true" in a family. The different types are classified according to their manifestations of signs and symptoms. The underlying features of all forms of EDS is a genetic alteration at the molecular level which causes abnormalities, (weakened) defective connective tissue within the collagen itself. Collagen is a protein that acts like "glue", which holds the body together, and makes the connective tissue strong and provides elasticity. Each type has a different collagen abnormality, but all share, in varying degrees certain manifestations. This faulty collagen causes structural changes, to the skin, ligaments, tendons, bone, fascia, and eyes. Some types of EDS also experience weaknesses in the walls of the hollow organs of the gastrointestinal tract, in the esophagus, the cardiovascular system, uterus, bladder, blood vessels, and the arteries. Diagnosing a specific type may not be easy, however, because the manifestations often overlap. The fundamental understanding of this complex disorder and it's varied manifestations is essential to prevent major life threatening complications. |
