SYRACUSE -- The New York State DEC is investigating the smell along the state Thruway in Central New York.
A CNY Central investigation, which revealed that the New York State Thruway Authority was importing processed human sewage from as far as New Jersey and spreading it along the roadway in Central New York, has sparked an investigation by the DEC.
On Tuesday, CNY Central's Jim Kenyon uncovered the fact that the Thruway Authority was using compost made from sewage as part of a reseeding project along the 15 mile stretch between the Baldwinsville and Weedsport exits.
The contractor in charge of the reconstruction project is importing the compost from municipal waste water facilities in Schenectady and Delhi in New York along with another plant in Burlington County, New Jersey.
On Friday, a spokesperson for the state DEC said in an email that the agency, "Is confirming with the New York State Thruway where they received the composted material from and then confirming with those sources that they are abiding by our regulations."
Last year, the DEC issued a permit for the seeding project but it does not specifically mention of the use of compost made from municipal sewage.

Health Care Fraud
Health care fraud affects everyone...including you.
Cigna goes to great lengths to ensure that our providers - doctors and other health care professionals - are reputable and are able to provide quality care. However, there is always a possibility that a provider, or a consumer, will engage in unethical, potentially fraudulent practices. Even a single fraudulent claim can raise the cost of health care benefits for everyone. See how you can help avoid and prevent health care fraud.
What is health care fraud?
Health care fraud is a crime. It's committed when a dishonest provider or consumer intentionally submits, or causes someone else to submit, false or misleading information for use in determining the amount of health care benefits payable. Some examples of provider health care fraud are:
- Billing for services not actually performed; billing for drugs not actually dispensed.
- Falsifying a patient's diagnosis to justify tests, surgeries or other procedures that aren't medically necessary; billing for a higher quantity of drugs than was actually dispensed.
- Misrepresenting procedures performed to obtain payment for non-covered services, such as cosmetic surgery;
- Upcoding - billing for a more costly service than the one actually performed;
- Unbundling - billing each stage of a procedure as if it were a separate procedure;
- Accepting kickbacks for patient referrals;
- Waiving patient copayments or deductibles and over-billing the insurance carrier or benefit plan;
- Billing a patient more than the copayment amount for services that were prepaid or paid in full by the benefit plan under the terms of a managed care contract.
Some examples of consumer health care fraud are:
- Filing claims for services or medications not received;
- Forging or altering bills or receipts; or
- Using someone else's coverage, personal information or insurance card
Help avoid and prevent health care fraud.
Here are some easy ways you can protect yourself from health care fraud, and keep health care costs down for everyone.
- Ask questions about the services you receive, such as: Why are they needed? What do they cost?
- Fill out, sign and date one claim form at a time.
- Question advertisements or promotions that offer free tests, treatment or services - especially when the provider requests your insurance information or a copy of your Cigna Medicare Services ID card.
- In general, be careful about disclosing your insurance information. Protect your Cigna Medicare Services ID card. It represents your benefits.
- Compare your Cigna Medicare Services Explanation of Benefits (EOB) and/or your medical prescription drug receipts with your records. Are the dates of service correct? Were the services actually performed?
- For those with managed care coverage, question charges exceeding your copayment amount that you're asked to pay by a provider.
- Let us know if a provider has a practice of waiving copayments or deductibles.
- Report suspected fraud to Special Investigations.
Cigna is working to minimize health care fraud.
Our Corporate Audit Department's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is responsible for minimizing Cigna's risk of health care fraud. The SIU partners with Cigna's Customer Service Claim Centers and others to help identify suspicious claims, stop payments to fraudulent providers and punish wrongdoers.
The SIU also works with state and federal law enforcement, regulatory agencies and other insurance companies to detect and prevent health care fraud and assist in the pursuit of restitution and/or prosecution of health care fraud offenders. The SIU staff includes trained professionals with expertise in investigations, health care, claims processing, law enforcement and accounting.

- How to Read a Study Record
This is an open-label study to investigate the effects of the rivastigmine patch on attention and behavior in Parkinson's disease when associated with memory and/or thinking problems. Rivastigmine (also sold under the name Exelon) is an FDA approved medication used for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and memory or thinking problems due to Parkinson's disease. Recently a rivastigmine patch was developed, which has shown similar effectiveness with fewer side effects and increased caregiver preference when compared to capsules. This is an open-label 12 week study where 15 subjects diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease who have mild to moderate memory and/or thinking complaints will be treated with the rivastigmine patch at UCSF. This study also analyzes the mechanism by which the rivastigmine patch works in people with Parkinson's disease and memory and/or thinking problems.

Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: Rivastigmine Patch 9.5 cm2 |
Drug: Rivastigmine Patch 9.5 cm2
Subjects will be started on a 5cm2/24hr rivastigmine patch. After 4 weeks, the dose will be increased to a recommended target dose of 9.5cm2/24hr patch for 8 additional weeks.
Detailed Description:
Participation in this study requires four visits: a screening visit to ensure eligibility, an intial/baseline visit where the medication is distributed at a dosage lower than the optimal recommended dosage, a four week follow-up visit where the dosage of the medication is increased to the optimal amount, and a final twelve week follow up visit.
- In the screening visit the patient will undergo a neurological exam (including a review of their medical history and short physical exam), electrocardiogram ( a painless procedure that measures electrical activity of your heart), cognitive testing (such as memory and thinking tests), and a blood draw.
- At the Baseline/Initial visit the patient will receive a brief physical exam, additional cognitive testing, and an MRI scan. Afterwards, the study drug will be distributed.
- At the four week follow up visit the patient will be asked to do some abbreviated cognitive and neurological testing and the study drug will be re-distributed at the target dosage.
- At the final twelve week visit the patient will receive additional cognitive and neurological testing, and an MRI scan.
- At each visit the study partner will be asked to complete an interview and questionnaires about the patient's memory and thinking.
- Study compliance and adverse events will be reviewed every two weeks throughout the study, whether in person or over the phone.

Las Vegas, NV – MUSIC Group have today announced the acquisition of award-winning professional loudspeaker manufacturer TURBOSOUND. Based in West Sussex, England TURBOSOUND have remained at the forefront of loudspeaker technology through three decades, earning the prestigious Queen's Award a remarkable three times, including for Innovation in 2012. The addition of TURBOSOUND allows MUSIC Group to round out their professional and touring sound offerings alongside MIDAS and KLARK TEKNIK.
MUSIC Group founder and CEO Uli Behringer comments, "Since the acquisition of MIDAS and KLARK TEKNIK we have been pursuing a loudspeaker brand that complements the consoles and processing offered by these historic brands. Throughout our search TURBOSOUND have stood out as the ideal match because of their extensive IP, sterling reputation and a first-class team of people. I am very proud to welcome Simon Blackwood and his team to our family."
TURBOSOUND joins MIDAS and KLARK TEKNIK as anchor brands to the MUSIC Group's continued expansion into professional markets. Aimed at delivering complete system solutions to Touring and Install customers, the combination of brands represents a new range of choice for the most demanding of applications. It is expected that TURBOSOUND will benefit from MUSIC Group's extensive infrastructure while retaining their own manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution network worldwide.
"We will invest heavily in positioning TURBOSOUND at the very pinnacle of the industry, as we have done with MIDAS and KLARK TEKNIK, where we have financed over $20 million in new automated manufacturing, quality control systems and engineering resources, including a new Center of Engineering Excellence in Manchester, UK" adds Uli Behringer. TURBOSOUND MD Simon Blackwood comments, "With the incredible people and resources of the MUSIC Group behind us, I am thrilled to enter a new era of unprecedented growth."

Blog Post about Blog Posts [Post #4]
So if you've been following my journey with Bassett, you know that we hit some challenges with digital journaling as a research method. But those challenges were learning opportunities, and we found ways to modify the research so it is compliant.
The solution: to keep using the blog format, but instead of asking the participants to take pictures, they were ask to upload "media pieces" to support their text. These media pieces could be stock images, songs, quotes, websites, etc.—as long as they didn't take pictures while in the medical centers. The photo above is a blog post from one of our participants, and she found a piece of art work and a quote to represent her emotions.
Here are some ADVANTAGES I found to using this method:
- Capture in-the-moment thoughts and emotions. Some of this can be lost if a participant is asked to recall it from memory.
- Blogs can be really personal. Some people write blogs everyday, like they would a diary entry. We can tap into this mentality for some rich material.
- Artifacts. Now we have a dozen blogs with quotes and media…imagine the possibility!
As you already know, this wasn't easy to pull off. Here are some more CHALLENGES:
- Not everything can be digital. As we soon found out, there are things like consent forms that are not in digital format. Participants had to scan, fax, or snail mail the consent forms back to us. Also, their compensation (Visa Gift Cards) had to be mailed out separately.
- Timeframe for study. This study was particularly complicated because we had to recruit participants who had doctor visits scheduled during the time of our study. Some participants even rescheduled their visits so they can be part of the study.
- No face-to-face time. It might take a little bit more work to get participants to follow through because they are on their own to complete the assignment. We are not there to guide and lead them.
And as always, I LEARNED a lot from this experience:
- Are you tech-savvy? Since this method relies heavily on technology, it is difficult to include participants who are not comfortable using technology, and they must be screen out early in the process.
- Add a human and personal touch. Call your participants, write your emails in a friendly tone, sign your name, let them know there is a real person they can reach out to, even if they never get to meet you.
And I just want to give a shout out to Tom, Andrew, Kate, and the rest of the Bassett team who helped us work through those bumps in the road. We learned so much from you guys and from this experience.

Action over Lamentation, Freedom over Ignorance
The lamentations of a people scorned avail nothing without the collective action of individuals fighting for one unifying cause, freedom.

Today in a global online launch event Satya Nadella, president of Microsoft Server and Tools Business, announced the general availability of Windows Server 2012. In his keynote speech, Nadella described how Windows Server 2012 is a cornerstone of the Cloud OS, which provides one consistent platform across private, hosted and public clouds. "The operating system has always been the heartbeat of IT and is now undergoing a renaissance in the new world of continuous cloud services, connected devices and big data," Nadella said. "Microsoft's unique legacy in the most widely used operating systems, applications and cloud services positions us to deliver the Cloud OS, based on Windows Server and Windows Azure, helping customers achieve a datacenter without boundaries." Enabling the Modern Datacenter Microsoft built Windows Server 2012 from the cloud up, applying its experience operating global datacenters that rely on hundreds of thousands of servers to deliver more than 200 cloud services. Windows Server 2012 expands the definition of a server operating system, with significant new advancements in virtualization, storage, networking and automation. Hundreds of new features can help customers achieve a transformational leap in the speed, scale and power of their datacenters and applications. In combination with Windows Azure and System Center, Windows Server 2012 empowers customers to manage and deliver applications and services across private, hosted and public clouds. Customers Find Success With Windows Server 2012 Customers can use their existing skills and investments in systems management, application development, database, identity and virtualization to take advantage of Windows Server 2012 and realize the promise of cloud computing. Many enterprise customers are already seeing tremendous value in early deployments. A survey of 70 early adopter customers from across the globe revealed that they expect, on average, 52 percent reduction in downtime, 41 percent reduction in workload deployment time, and 15 hours of productivity time saved per year, per employee. 91 percent of the companies surveyed expect a reduction in server administration labor, and 88 percent expect reduction in network administration labor.* Menzies Aviation, an airline passenger and cargo handling company that employs more than 17,000 people, is using Windows Server 2012 to provide identity access management and information access policies to its employees as it rapidly incorporates newly acquired businesses. "We are very impressed by Windows Server 2012 and Microsoft's overall solution to help us manage our systems and applications across our private cloud environments as they scale with our business," said Martin Gallington, senior vice president of IT at Menzies Aviation. "This is a dramatic leap forward, matched by a simple, cost-effective pricing model." Equifax is a global information solutions provider that organizes and assimilates data on more than 500 million consumers and 81 million businesses worldwide. It now counts on Windows Server 2012 for improved reliability and uptime of its information services to clients. "Windows Server 2012 revolutionizes how we can operate our datacenter, allowing us to better meet our commitments," said Bryan Garcia, chief technology officer at Equifax. "The new high availability technologies help us deliver 'always-on' applications, and we're betting on Hyper-V as a critical component of our private cloud strategy. We are gaining tremendous efficiencies, which translate into more time to innovate for company growth." More information about Windows Server 2012 and the Cloud OS is available here.
Who cares about cloud computing anyways. The way I see it is that your internet provider will find more excuses to charge you more to access your stuff and these random hackers who steal your data and publish them out just to prove stupid points...
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/09/windows_server_2012_first_look/ Just a first look. Expanded Powershell, quicker (generally) to configure out of the box, more/better VR stuff included, etc. Final words from the article:
ok ok, i do have to admit that hyperV is actually a pretty bad ass hypervisor and the windows server OS is reliable. BUT! unless microsoft is selling their software dirt cheap no server admin at a large data center would choose microsoft over redhat or other enterprise variant.
"What's New in Windows Server 2012" http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831769.aspx Some nice improvements and new features all around.
Because I am in the line of work I can promise you this. ONLY small companies are using Linux servers. All the biggest companies like Cisco, IBM, ATT, etc are only using MS Servers. Not because MS Servers are necessary better, but because the MS provided support for his servers is like 1000000x better than any Linux one, which is almost unexistant.
I think you're talking different things. What kind of servers are PV talking about? Data centers could be a different story. And speaking of Red Hat: Yeah they have to have some serious business. And they do have great support if you have the money. There's Linux and there's Linux.
all those new sugar coated cloud thingy ... how about a server YOU DON'T NEED TO REBOOT WEEKLY!? ?!?!?!??? for SECURITY update?
I'm most excited about having a GUI for the Active Directory Recycle Bin. No moar typing powershell commands to recover the n00bies mistakes!

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
As the title promises, the story revolves around a compulsively jealous husband, who is, as the story opens, sitting on a perch in a cage in a pet store in Houston, reincarnated somehow as a parrot. The reincarnation of the human narrator's consciousness into the animal body is established as the opening premise with the very title and is never explained. However, once Butler makes this stipulation, the story proceeds realistically. Rather than simply imagining a person in a parrot suit, Butler imagines the limitations of the parrot's brain and nervous system. When his former wife, who enters the store and is drawn to him, says, "Hello," he can say it back, but when she then says "Pretty bird," he can only repeat "Hello": "She said it again, 'Pretty bird,' and this brain that works like it does now could feel that tiny little voice of mine ready to shape itself around those sounds." Butler thus provides a foundation for both the recognizably human aspects of the tale and the animal point of view that defamiliarizes them for the reader. The initial encounter with his former wife exemplifies the method: "She knows that to pet a bird you don't smooth his feathers down, you ruffle them. But of course she did that in my human life as well."
She buys him and keeps him in a cage in his former den. The physical transformation of the narrator provides opportunity for comedy, while his more gradual psychological transformation provides...

Summary (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
The story revolves around a compulsively jealous husband, the unnamed first-person narrator of the story. It opens abruptly, with the narrator sitting on a perch in his cage in a pet store in Houston, having been reincarnated somehow as a yellow-nape Amazon parrot. One day, his former wife, accompanied by what he assumes must be her current lover, enters the store and is drawn to him. She buys him and takes him back to their former home, where she keeps him in a cage in the den. Despite his physical and, to a degree, psychological transformation, he is still jealous of his former wife's latest lover. He is limited, however, to taking out his resentment on the bird toys in his cage.
In a flashback, the narrator reviews the circumstances that led to his death as a human. His wife had always had lovers, and after becoming suspicious that a new employee at her office had become the latest in that series, he found out where the man lived and went to his house. The narrator climbed a tree in an attempt to look through a window to catch his wife and the man together but died after falling from his perch. No explanation is offered as to the mechanism of his reincarnation.
Over time he becomes more and more birdlike, distancing himself from his jealousy as his thoughts increasingly turn to flying away and escaping. One day his wife leaves the door to his cage open, and he tries to fly to freedom. The sliding glass doors through which he sees the sky,...

Workstations are small footprint XYZ robots built on the flexible CTC PAL platform, that handle a variety of tasks. They can perform as liquid sample handlers that provide for accurate dilutions of liquid samples.
Workstations can handle large volumes with the addition of diluters, large volume dispensing pumps and tools. They are also suitable to pull samples from liquid streams by using flow cells, flow vials and flow valves. To collect these samples into vials, add reagents, agitate, heat it or directly inject it into a detector system is simple for these XYZ workstations. Many accessories are available to customize workstations to specific needs.

I just wanted to encourage you to introduce more women to this site, to our events as well as educating women on guns.
I live near Impact Guns in Ogden and whenever I go in there, there are some women. Some are brand new and only came cause their husband/boyfriend dragged them.
Some like to shoot, but don't know that other women like it too.
I have talked with a few of them and invited them to this website. They seem to respond well and are happy to meet women with the same interest.

Two weeks ago, at New York Comic Con, Capcom announced four new characters for Marvel vs. Capcom 3, bringing the total now up to 26. With a reported roster being "over 30 characters" deep, we're coming down to the final few character announcements on each side. So, this week for TOP 5, I wanted to go over my suggestions for who to include int he game. But, since I felt it would be unfair to include both Marvel and Capcom in the same list (since one would have more slots than the other, and it was too damn hard to narrow it down as is) we're going to have two TOP 5s this week. Click here to view my list of Capcom characters if you haven't given it a view already.

Loading... The Aviator's Wife: A Novel (edition 2013)by Melanie Benjamin
Work detailsThe Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. This is the third book I've read in what seems to be a new genre: Historical fiction of flawed heroes. The first two (that I've read) are [Loving Frank] by Nancy Horan and [The Paris Wife] by Paula McClain which dealt with Frank Lloyd Wright and Ernest Hemingway respectively. Of the three, I enjoyed The Aviator's Wife the most. Perhaps because there is quite a body of work by Anne Morrow Lindbergh, it is easier to get into her as a first person narrator in a piece of fiction. The story is narrated in the first person by a fictional Anne Morrow Lindbergh and opens as she sits by Charles on his deathbed. She reflects on how they met, their brief courtship, and their long marriage. Most of the information is well known as public record, but the author does a great job of giving us some insight into the flawed character that was Charles Lindbergh as his wife may have seen him. For those of us who read AML's works from Gift from the Sea through her collected letters and diaries series, it is interesting to read a fictional accounting of how she might have seen Charles, since that has been mostly scrubbed from those works. Though I may not be a fan of this new genre, I did thoroughly enjoy this story. I've loved Melanie Benjamin's other books, and I have always admired her ability to get into the mind of history's forgotten women. Alice I Have Been and The Autobiography of Mrs. Tom Thumb are among my favorite historical novels, but I just couldn't get into this one. Maybe it's because Charles Lindbergh has never had any interest for me. However, I love to read books about the 1920s and 1930, and I thought I would enjoy getting to know the story of the Lindberghs. I didn't enjoy the layout of the story, how the author kept jumping back to 1974, to build up suspense about some great "secret". When it was finally revealed the whole thing felt like a giant letdown. There was nothing about the main character's reaction that felt real to me. The revelation of the so-called secret at the end was almost like an afterthought. I didn't like the narration as it felt very forced and I never felt like I was reading Anne Lindberghs thoughts. I didn't like the fact that the whole book was in her head so much. I would have preferred to read more dialoge between the characters, although I understand that with a character like Charles Lindbergh there could be no such thing, but I wish the author had written a little more about the Morrow family and about the friends that Anne made later in life. At least the book reads fast, so I didn't waste too much time with it, but it wasn't as nearly as good as I expected it to be. This book was picked for my book club and is one we had a lively discussion about. It was a very interesting book. I opted to listen to the audio version of this book and recommend it highly. I would get home from work and just sit in my car to hear a little more of the story. A great book club book! After loving this author's previous novel, I was surprised to find myself severely disappointed in this fictional account of Anne and Charles Lindbergh. I never warmed to either character. Charles because he was, well, an ass and Anne because she was a spineless twit. Ah well. It won't stop me from reading her novels...her first was so marvelous that I hope to recapture that magic someday. Very well written fictionalized account of the life of Anne Morrow Lindbergh, wife of one of the greatest aviator's of all time. The book centers on Anne's relationship with Charles, and it's not a traditional relationship in any sense. It will really make you think about how you view the Lindberghs.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0345528670, Hardcover)Melanie Benjamin on The Aviator's WifeWhat was I thinking, writing a novel about Anne Morrow Lindbergh? That is a question I asked myself every time I sat down to work on The Aviator's Wife. For Anne Morrow Lindbergh guarded her privacy fiercely and, at times, I felt she was eluding me just to make that point! My other heroines—Alice Liddell in Alice I Have Been and Lavinia Warren Stratton in The Autobiography of Mrs. Tom Thumb—gave up their secrets easily, almost eagerly. Anne, however, did not. But that was what attracted me to her story in the first place—because of how elusive Anne remains to this day. She is known in fragments but never completely. Some are aware of her child's horrific kidnapping and murder. Others remember her chiefly as the shy, pretty bride of the most heroic man of his time. Many women revere her as an early feminist writer. But few know her entire story, including her major accomplishments as an aviator in her own right, her grit and determination, her inner strength. Always she seems willing to stand in the tall shadow of her husband, Charles Lindbergh. And it was her marriage that fascinated and obsessed me; this marriage between two extraordinary and very different individuals under the relentless glare of the spotlight. This operatic life they led, through dizzying heights of accomplishment and celebrity to the devastating lows of what Anne always saw as the price they paid for flying too close to the sun. It seemed to me, as I studied her, standing always slightly behind her husband, that there was a sly smile, a gleam in her eyes that she was always suppressing; a secret strength hidden from the world and even, at times, herself. This was the Anne Morrow Lindbergh whose story I wanted to tell. It's time for Anne to step out from behind her husband's shadow once and for all and be the heroine in her own epic story.

Manuscripts & Archives, Yale University Click here for a larger image (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:27:22 -0400) Despite her own major achievements--she becomes the first licensed female glider pilot in the United States--Anne Morrow Lindbergh is viewed merely as Charles Lindbergh's wife. The fairy-tale life she once longed for will bring heartbreak and hardships, ultimately pushing her to reconcile her need for love and her desire for independence, and to embrace, at last, life's infinite possibilities for change and happiness.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

We are showing you the Canadian version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Pretty in Pink
This blog is dedicated to Clare Greenwood, 2nd April 1949 - 18th December 1995.
As every self-respecting young boy knows, only girls wear pink. Boys wear blue, or black, or red. But never pink. Then as you grow up, the colour pink grows on you. Suddenly it's an option. You might try to bluff it by calling it salmon or magenta, but everyone knows it's pink. And you don't feel too bad about it.
Of course, if you were a sceptic you would say I only like pink because my team kit sports the colour. That's true, but unlike the T-mobile kit of old, our use of it is subtler. A splash of pink is cool. Too much is overkill. That's something the joker might wear when fighting Batman. He can get away with outlandish outfits, he's a Supervillan. The rest of us can't, we don't live in Gotham City.
So why am I writing about pink? Well it just so happens that those mother loving, bum bag wearing metrosexuals from Italy also like pink. In fact they like it so much the leader of their national tour gets such a coloured jersey for the honour.
Let's be clear, the Magila Rosa is cool and iconic. Matching shorts, socks, glasses, bikes etc most certainly are not. Vincenzo Nibali take note, pink also has another significance… It's also the colour chosen for breast cancer charities: They have walks where women wear pink bras to raise money to fight breast cancer. It's a cause which gets a lot of media attention. And it's a cause which means a lot to me. I know first hand how cancer can change lives.
Everyone expects to go to their parents' funerals at some point in their life, but not when you're eleven. Not when you need your mother most. At least one good thing came of it, I found my hero. I've never faced death before but I certainly expect it will scare me. If my mum was scared she never showed it. Not to me anyway. She never complained. She never snapped. In the end it was a fight that was only ever going to have one winner. Breast cancer won.
So why am I writing about this now? It happened 15 years ago. I dealt with it a long time ago, my life's changed a lot since then, why talk about the past? Well, because while I might have changed, some things haven't. Modern medicine might mean more people survive cancer but it's still deadly and in some cases on the increase. And now I've got a chance to do something about it. While breast cancer might be getting all the news stories, there's another more silent killer on the prowl. This is prostate cancer. Men are too proud to get cancer, they are too manly to admit it. Well, unfortunately denial isn't going to help it.
As a team we've been luckily enough for the last two years to be sponsored by Sharp. The team's jersey in 2009 featured the words Sharp 4 Prostate. This was to show the company's support for the Prostate Cancer Charity. And in 2010 a team from Sharp, including the UK Managing Director Paul Molyneux, took part in RAAM, the Race Across America. And they did very well. But racing across America, non stop, with little sleep on a bike - that's not fun. Only crazy people do that.
But in 2011 there's a new challenge. And this time it's in the land of pizza, ice cream and grappa - Italy. With its epic mountains and stunning scenery and the occasional 'bella donna' to take your eyes off the road. But only pros get to ride round Italy, you have to be a superstar racing at the Giro D'Italia, don't you? Well no. Not any more. In 2011 you can take part in the Prostate Cancer Charity Gran Corsa, supported by Sharp, covering the whole three-week long route starting on 29th May 2011, just as the race proper finishes.
The ride will be launched in London on 13th December but is open to people from all nationalities, so give it a go. What an opportunity. You could be one of those fund raising people, completing the challenge of a lifetime and saving lives while you do it.
The riders of Rapha Condor Sharp will be there. Will you? Thanks for reading.

Touching blog.
My father in law died far too young to prostrate cancer.
I'll be going along to LMNH, to see if I can ride part of the route in his memory.

By Michelle Brutlag Hosick
The NCAA staff will use altered guidelines when determining which student-athletes will receive waivers of the rule that requires some student-athletes to sit out a year of competition after transfer.
Members of the Division I Legislative Council's Subcommittee for Legislative Relief made the changes in response to current waiver trends and a belief among the membership that waiver decisions were not consistent from case to case.
The guideline changes are specific to waivers requested when a student-athlete wants to return to a school closer to home due to the illness or injury of an immediate family member (the student-athlete's mother, father, sibling, child or legal guardian). The subcommittee directed the staff to consider relief when:
Additionally, the subcommittee decided if a student-athlete's family member is given a specific amount of time to live, that potentially outweighs all other guidelines.
Subcommittee chair Robert Philippi, associate commissioner for academics and compliance at Conference USA, emphasized that the guidelines were for staff's initial consideration of the waiver request. Any staff decision can be appealed to the full subcommittee.
"It is important to understand the guidelines are for staff's initial review," Philippi said. "There are occasions in which the welfare of the student-athlete takes precedence or other unique circumstances are presented, and those cases should be appealed to the subcommittee."
The changes to the guidelines are intended to be an updated standard for the staff to use when making waiver decisions. The guidelines have been in place since 2009 and are updated to fit the sentiments of the membership regarding waivers of transfer legislation.
"When transfer waivers are submitted by schools that reveal new trends for such cases, we will go to the membership for direction. The direction provided routinely comes in the form of guidelines for future cases," said Kelly Brooks, NCAA director of academic and membership affairs.
"It is important to note that our staff also considers the timing of the immediate family member's injury or illness diagnosis in relation to when the student-athlete makes the decision to transfer."
The waivers do not affect whether a student-athlete can transfer to another school or receive financial aid at another school; the only issue is whether they can play immediately.
"In reviewing waiver cases, subcommittee members weigh the needs of the student-athletes against the competitive issues which the rules are based on," Philippi said. "The new guidelines are a more realistic standard for balancing the academic workload, athletics commitments and personal obligations of student-athletes under these circumstances."
The guidelines are just part of the waiver review process. Schools seeking a waiver of the transfer legislation for student-athletes with ill or injured immediate family members must submit various materials, including written medical documentation from the professional who diagnosed the condition, a letter from the student-athlete explaining the need for relief and information indicating that external third parties were not involved in the transfer.
Waivers (and waiver denials) of the transfer legislation have been well documented in the media, and the Division I Leadership Council is leading a division-wide review of transfer rules. That review began earlier this fall and will include a variety of constituents, including coaches associations and other governance bodies.

Porto Alegre
Porto Alegre's hallmark is the hospitality of its people, a trait that has been acknowledged over and over by visitors, earning it the nickname "Smile City." The capital of one of Brazil's wealthiest states, it has many streets lined with jacaranda trees that create violet tunnels when in full spring bloom.
The city was founded on the banks of the Rio Guaíba in 1772 by immigrants from the Azores. The Guaíba is actually a 50-km-long (31-mile-long) lagoon formed by four rivers that merge a few miles upstream from the city. The city has an important port, connected to the Atlantic by the Lagoa dos Patos.

About Me Recreational Archer
3 out of 3 small game animals dead on contact. This point is deadly! Kills better than a .22, shoots like a field point, doesn't stick in trees so if you have a flu flu arrow matched with this point it's a lethal combo.
Service and delivery comments:
4 day delivery. Amazing as usual. I'll always go to 3rivers archery!

Man, when I first got one of these I was impressed. I put one on a cedar arrow and went jack rabbit hunting. the Barta blunt works really good, and if it can take down a tough jack rabbit it can take down any small game.

"Very quiet getaway"
Very nice B&B in a quiet neighborhood near the town square. Historic building with extensive civil war history. Very relaxing.Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
"Everyone should visit"
We never stayed at a bed and breakfast before, but after staying at the Hall Place in Glasgow, Ky. , we'll try others as well. After visiting Kentucky Downunder (which we enjoyed very much) we arrived at the Hall Place B &B, just a few minutes away. Calling the number on the office door brought the manager to the location within minutes. With a quick […] tour of the place, friendly advice was offered on local restaurants. We chose A little Taste of Texas, and was pleasantly surprised. It happened to be just a block or so from our B & B and was well worth it. we browsed around the Square for awhile , and returned to our room for a really nice evening. In the morning we had a really good breakfast with an amazing account of how the Hall Place came to be. Enjoyed it all and I would recommend it to everyone.

"Great bed and breakfast!"
If you stay at this wonderful, historic bed and breakfast....don't skip breakfast. The history lesson and wonderful story of how the present owners discovered that their family had built the place in 1852, AFTER they had purchased it, is truly astounding. It was the highlight of our vacation, and we were only there one night!Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia

"Rustic appearance inside and out."
Numerous antiques and collectibles, aged pictures and books, etc. take you back to a more subltle, laid back life style, but with the conveniences of modern day living.

"Peaceful B&B"
Hall Place B&B is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay in Glasgow, KY. We were on a road trip to Mammoth Cave (about 20 minutes away), and we enjoyed staying somewhere far enough away from the kitschy touristy trap of Cave City. Karen, the owner, is very nice and full of interesting historic facts about the Hall Place. The four of us (3 adults and […] one young child) slept in a suite with 2 bedrooms sharing 1 bath, and it was more than spacious and comfy. Breakfast in the morning was delicious! So happy we found this lovely B&B and would stay again on future trips to Kentucky. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
"A Trip Back in Time"
This was our first visit to a bed and breakfast, but will not be our last. We are already making plans around attractions in the area so we can return. The service was great, but I hesitate to even call it service because it was as if we were welcomed into an old friend's home. I felt as if I had been transported back to my great grandparent's home, […] built in the late 1800's. I visited there once a year as a child, and I always looked at it as a trip back in time. Great old pictures, great stories, friendly owners, wonderful local history you don't often get to experience. Hall Place Bed and Breakfast was well worth the trip.

"You have to stay here!"
My first experience with a b & b couldn't have been more enjoyable! Karin and Gary (innkeepers) are two of the nicest people I've ever met, made us feel welcome and like family. The home is gorgeous, you step back in time and if walls could talk, you'd sit there forever. Absolutely mind-blowing to learn that Lincoln stayed here and that under the kitchen, […] there's part of the underground railroad! My daughter (who is 9) and I, stayed here for two nights. We chose this house because of previous excellent reviews (spot on) and proximity to our destination (Mammoth Cave). Our bed was very comfortable and our room was beautiful. This home has a tea room. If you have time, have an afternoon tea with Karin's scrumptious scones! And speaking of scrumptious, the breakfasts were amazing; home-made waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon, and fresh fruit. I can't say enough good things about Hall Place. My daughter wanted to add to this review by saying "it's awesome!". If I ever get back to this area, this is where I'll stay!

Was a nice stay. The owner is a little chatty, but very nice. The house is beautiful and the history is very interesting. If you don't like dust I wouldn't stay here, as they have many collections and there is a bit of dust, not that it's dirty, just not a dust free environment. Also didn't get clean towels on the second day, but as we had hung our […] towels to dry it wasn't a big deal. I'm sure if we would have asked we would have received them.

This B&B is the cutest place I have ever stayed. It is decorated in an antique motif reminiscent of the turn of the century. The couple who runs it are wonderful, friendly, and accommodating. I Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Mammoth Cave area.Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com

"The Hall Place Bed and Breakfast in Kentucky"
My teenage daughter and I stayed there while visiting Mammoth Cave National Park, less than a half hour away. Glasgow is a charming small town and this Bed and Breakfast is early 19th century in date and conveniently located to the old-fashioned town square and shops. The rooms were a little overwhelming with the number of antiques and period paraphernalia, […] but the beds were comfortable and the baths clean and modern, but with nice decorative touches. The parlor and dining areas were lovely, and the breakfast was really nice - we shared breakfast with six other lively travelers in 19th century splendor, with fruit, homemade waffles, eggs, bacon, toast and outstanding coffee. The rooms had cable TV, internet, refrigerators, and many amenities and the price was great! My daughter and I occupied a two room suite that was quite economical. The inn keepers were a nice couple who told us a lot about the history of the house and the town in general. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would strongly recommend it to others!

Damn it...there's ANOTHER tumor I'm going to need removed. v.v;;;

There is no fucking way this is real... Then again it is of Youtube.
What scares me the most is that it says "This comment has received too many negative votes."
Meaning that there are too many people that think their dog is going to turn into a different animal in 15 years. Wonderful...
What I want to know is if my son will turn into a different animal in 15 years. I think he will!
Yes, some people are actually that stupid. Even if this one is made up it is still a reasonable portrayal of those who don't realise that not understanding Evolution is not why they don't believe it. Here are some signs that give them away. They have no sparkle in their eyes which are often set into a deep ridged brow. They have sore knuckles from dragging them on concrete. They look bewildered when fire appears out of nowhere because they also know that something cannot come from nothing. They only have one book or at most two, the second one for joining those difficult dots together.
It makes you wonder if democracy really is a good idea.
Well the elites control democracy and make it look like dumb people have a choice, we already got it covered, LOL.

Rockin' the QR Codes: Force or Fad?
Use QR codes to add value, or don't use them at all.
Okay, be honest. How many times today have you stopped, whipped out your smartphone, and scanned a QR code? If you did, did this Quick Response code take you to a mobile enabled website with information you could use or were interested in? Or did it take you to a standard desktop-based company website? Or did it take you anywhere? According to a June article in Business Week, only five percent of Americans scanned a QR code during a three month period last year.
QR codes are losing their luster and it is their own fault. They too often have been slapped onto the wrong things (billboards, race cars, bananas), conveyed useless or confusing information, been printed or designed improperly, or offered little value to the people who bothered to use them.
But wait! Weren't they cutting edge technology? Well, they did provide a new avenue to drive users to the Web and they could hold 100 times more information than a bar code. The problem was that many users just didn't know how to use them effectively, even though they used them everywhere.
It is doubtful that the little Japanese company that invented the QR code to improve inventory tracking of car parts had any idea that they would become so widespread or used in such varied ways. Despite the waning interest in some quarters, QR codes still have many practical uses. They may even become more widespread as technology—such as the Passbook feature on the next iPhone OS—allows storage of QR codes that act as coupons, gift cards, movie tickets, and boarding passes, according to the Business Week article.
How About Printing?
QP columnist John Giles often writes about the proper use of the technology. In his column this month, he counsels: "Make sure the QR code directs the users to something they want. Just going to a mobile website isn't exciting if the visitors can't read the information on their smartphones. Good sites usually feature videos, sign-up opportunities, and coupons. They offer something that will keep the visitors coming back and sharing the site with their friends."
That's good advice, but what are printers actually doing in the field?
Tim Post at NuGraphics, Etc. in Boston says "From business cards to banners, a growing number of our clients are requesting we add QR codes to their files. It is a surprisingly easy process. Nu Graphics, Etc. specializes in retail and exhibit signage, and QR codes fit well with those projects."
Design consultant Manny Velazquez at MetaCreative in Houston, TX, says he has used QR codes on business cards and vehicle wraps. "Like anything, they can be overused…but they do have their place, especially when you network at a lot of social events. It's easier to flash a card with your information and immediately upload all relevant date into your smartphone."
"I also put them on our business cards for contact information," says Tim Kirkland, business development director at Octopus MES in Greensboro, NC. "It was a nightmare. The printing company had to play with the sizing and white border and even then, only certain readers on certain devices with certain OS revisions could read it successfully. It was worth the trouble now that it works, but one should allow time to prepare for a printing project containing a QR code and know their end-user."
Dustin Andrews, owner of 4-State Printing in Joplin, MO, says he has been offering QR codes as an added feature for free on a printed piece as long as he is doing the printing. "So far, I've had great response. I just printed a questionnaire for a local business that was sent out as a mailer with a QR code. They had a fantastic response rate compared to the prepaid mail-in survey. So I believe that, depending on how you use them, they are a very good feature that should be on most—not all—printed pieces. That being said, I think they are, for the most part, a fad that will be phased out with a newer, better something in the next few years or so."

Montpelier blaze
closes Main Street
MONTPELIER Lots of smoke and a little bit of fire shut down a portion of Main Street on Saturday evening as firefighters prevented a small blaze from spreading through a century-old home.
The incident began shortly after 5 p.m. when a passerby alerted homeowner Stan Brinkerhoff that thick smoke was billowing from the first floor of his three-story home at 188 Main St.
Brinkerhoff called Montpelier firefighters, who quickly extinguished a small fire in a first-floor storage area.
A singed mattress and a charred pile of clothing in the front yard were the only visible signs of damage from outside, though Brinkerhoff and two tenants living in an attached apartment made plans to stay elsewhere for the night due to a lingering smell of smoke.
Brinkerhoff said the home is insured.
Lt. Jake Larrabee of the Montpelier Fire Department said the fire was small but hot, and produced heavy smoke. He said the cause is undetermined, and Vermont State Police investigators will examine the scene this morning to try to determine what happened.
A fire crew from Barre City joined Montpelier firefighters at the scene.
Main Street was blocked off between North and Loomis streets for about two hours.

So Lit-Up has been pretty hyped up lately, so I decided I want to know what it is all about. It did appeal to me in two ways. I personally am not a fan of 1,3 dimethylamylamine, I feel positively stimmed, but everything else about it makes me feel like ****, so I was happy that Lit up decided to go for a cleaner stim feeling. I also have had positive experience with DAA before (Given my company affiliation, this is obvious). I think DAA is one of the best recent discoveries for OTC supplementation, so I obviously have no issue with it being a part of Lit-Up.
Easily one of the best flavors I have ever hard in a PrWO. Citrus Cherry is what they are calling this flavor, but it has a very fruit punch vibe to me. Very smooth, and no presence of a "sandy" flavor, if you know what I mean with other PrWo. I recently stated a positive flavor from another PreWO, but this is by far the best flavor in this category (stimulant PreWO).
Easy 10/10
As some of you know I have been doing strict keto during the week, so energy has been an issue for me recently. Using a stim preworkout, although certainly not always my first choice, has been completely necessary. Now I will say that I don't find the stim to be the strongest I have had from a PrWO, but I will say it has been the cleanest feeling stim effect (primarily due to using caffeine as the stimulant source), with a very limited crash. So it is a balance that I most certainly welcome.
Stim 9/10
Previous to using Lit-Up, my "go to" stim preworkout was ASGT, which I have claimed in many threads to be the best stimmed preworkout I haved used. It easily is pushed aside by me now with Lit up being my top choice in this category. I am only a week in, so I feel the effect should be getting better as the DAA dosages continue.
I have started to add to my dose (which is 2 scoops). I added GPLC, Arginocarn, and an extra scoop of beta alanine.
You guys have done very well with this product AppNut. I certainly find it to be the the best stim pre workout on the market right now.
My only complaint:
This coloring of this stuff may be a bit of a turnoff for some, it is very very red, kinda unnatural looking. This wouldnt be a huge deal other than if the red touches any part of your hand, it can leave red stains, and even your mouth can have abit of a red hue. For this reason I have been using a bit more water than necessary.
