Sachin Tendulkar, in a very emotional speech at the post-match presentation, thanked all the people who played a crucial role in shaping his career.
The little master, not known to express his emotions on the cricket field, spoke at length and thanked all those who helped him throughout his career, expressing his happiness over serving the country for so long.
Highlights from Tendulkar's speech:
Encouraging father
My father was the most important person in my life, and I've missed him a lot since 1999. Everytime I raise my bat or do something, it is for him. He gave me freedom to chase my dreams at the age of 11, but warned me not to look for short cuts.
Caring mother
I don't know how my mother dealt with a naughty child like me. She took care of me and just prayed and prayed everytime I played. I thank her for all the sacrifices.
From where it all started
My sister gifted me my first ever bat, it was a Kashmir willow and I can say it all started from there. She still fasts everytime I bat.
The brother bond!
I don't know what to talk about Ajit. We have lived this dream together. He took me Achrekar sir at the age of 11. He sacrificed his career for me. We share a special bond. Even last night we were discussing about my dismissal. It has been like that since many years. This is the habit we have developed since my birth. We discuss cricket, talk about technique, agree, disagree and lot more. The turning point of my life was when Ajit took me to Achrekar sir at the age of 11.
Leading lady
The most beautiful thing happened to me when I met Anjali. Those were special years and have continued to be the same. Thanks for bearing with me always, and staying by my side always. I have had my best partnership with you. Being a doctor, you had a career in front of you but you chose to sacrifice that when we decided to start a family. Thank you for everything!
Precious diamonds
Now coming to the two precious diamonds of my life - Sara and Arjun. They have already grown up. Time has flown by. Thank you for understanding always. I haven't spent a lot of time with you two, but next 16 years or even more everything for you two.

We currently have two types of fantasy games for NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL - PickTheWinner and PickTheSeries (Playoffs).
They are both Pickem style games where you compete against your friends by trying to predict the winner of each week's match ups. You can also double down on games, earn achievements, limit the number of games that participants need to predict, and more.
Create a league now and invite your friends!
GAME ON!!! After 113 days of what I would hardly call intense negotiations, the NHLPA and the NHL have come to an agreement on the framework of the next collective bargaining agreement for the league. While there is still some "t's to be crossed and I's to be dotted" as Gary Bettman put it, it looks like we will have some form of NHL this season.
While almost everyone concurs that this was one of the dumbest and meaningless stalemates in the history of organized sports, it may prove to have been a necessary evil in the growth of the NHL.
Even my own stance as a die-hard puckhead took a serious turn as I looked to televised dodgeball, jai alai and reruns of Renegade to get my fix for top-drawer entertainment and Lorenzo Lamas programming. While the return of the NHL doesn't quench my thirst for bad acting (insert Sedin diving joke here), there is no substitute in the world for the intensity that real NHL hockey brings.
I love football and especially the college bowls and NFL playoffs, but there is nothing quite like the speed, skill and intensity of the NHL. Every shift is played at full speed, with a galvanized rubber biscuit being flung around at speeds of 100-mph. Chock full of collisions and the occasional fisticuffs, I will do what I said I wouldn't and jump back on board the poorly operated barge to soak in NHL hockey.
In spite of all the torment, the collective dragging of feet and the mindless posturing from both owners and players, I will watch. I will buy tickets, and Center Ice and possibly another jersey. I will welcome the league back with open, if not weary and cautious arms.
This new CBA is supposed to be at least 10-years long and will solve most, if not all of the contention between players and ownership. The language of the deal has not been released until it is finalized and ratified by each side. Until then, warm up your Zambonis and dust off your pucks, hockey is BACK! Almost.
One of the biggest surprises this post season has got to be the run the San Jose Sharks are enjoying. The Sharks victory over the...
Good afternoon. NHL system continues to show consistent profits. We have one 3 unit moneyline play lined up for Monday action:
Good evening. We have a confident 5 unit play lined up for Sunday night NHL playoff action:

Senior Eric Chevalier has a hit in 29 consecutive MWC games.
April 8, 2004
SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah baseball team was out-hit 16 to 7 in a 15-4 loss at the hands of New Mexico at Ute Field this afternoon. With the loss, the Utes fall to 7-18 overall and 2-6 in Mountain West Conference play.
Sophomore Jason Price suffered the loss on the mound, falling to 2-5 on the year. He gave up 10 runs, only one of which was earned, on seven hits. He also walked four batters.
New Mexico got on the board early, plating two unearned runs in the top of the first. The Lobos put the game out of reach, 11-0, in the third, scoring nine runs on seven hits - two home runs, three doubles and a pair of singles.
The Lobos added to the lead in the top of the fourth, plating two on a base hit, one on a triple and another on a single through the left side, making it a 15-0 ballgame.
Utah finally got on the board in the bottom of the inning when senior Eric Chevalier and junior Trevor Eastman hit back-to-back doubles. The Utes added another run in the bottom of the fifth on a Chevalier sacrifice fly.
The Utes made it a 15-3 game in the sixth when junior Tyson Olson, who reached on a double, scored on a wild pitch.
Utah's final run came in the bottom of the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Eastman.
Chevalier finished the day 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI, extending his MWC hitting streak to 29 games. Freshman Jay Brossman went 2-for-4 with one run, while Eastman was 1-for-4 with two RBI.
The two teams play the second game of the series at 2 p.m. tomorrow, Friday, April 9.

Historic Handover in Iraq: Joy and Apprehension as US Troops Withdraw from Cities
The withdrawal of US troops from Iraqi cities marks a historic turning point, with the Iraqis seeing themselves once again as being in control of their own country. But the exaggerated self-confidence of their leaders could come at a high cost to Iraqi citizens. The oil-rich nation, though full of potential, remains extremely vulnerable.
If there is one man in Iraq whose face betrays the full spectrum of triumphs, failures and tragic events of the last six years, then it is the deeply exhausted and sometimes excessively cheerful neurologist Mowaffak al-Rubaie.
He watched as his country plunged into terror, and he tried to put a positive spin on the situation, even in 2006 and 2007, when up to 3,000 people died in murders and bombings some months. He traveled to Washington, first to ask the Americans to be patient and, later, when things slowly began to improve, to negotiate with them over their withdrawal. He went to the Iraqi city of Najaf and the Iranian capital Tehran to obtain the blessings of the mullahs.
But instead of giving up, al-Rubaie has founded his own party, known as al-Wasat or the Center Party. Two weeks ago, its members convened in Baghdad's legendary Palestine Hotel for their founding congress. Rubaie has no time to feel humiliated or depressed. He has big plans for Iraq -- and he wants to become prime minister himself.
'A Great Victory'
This Tuesday, US troops will withdraw from Iraq's cities and towns to their military bases. The Americans, loud and overbearing after their speedy victory six years ago, are quiet and thoughtful today. The Iraqis, even in the face of their deep trauma, are as self-confident as al-Rubaie, despite his removal from office. Al-Maliki describes the American withdrawal as a "great victory" for Iraq over the occupiers, comparable to the withdrawal of British forces in the 1920s. He declared Tuesday a national holiday and, referring to the Americans, told the French newspaper Le Monde: "We will not ask them to intervene in combat operations related to maintaining public order. It is finished."
Whether this is true remains to be seen. More than 200 people were killed in attacks in June, from Kirkuk in the north to Bathaa in the south. It is quite possible that Maliki will soon be forced to ask the Americans for military assistance once again. As much as Iraq's Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds normally disagree, they all expect the security situation to deteriorate significantly between early July and elections in January.
Nevertheless, there is an inherent magic to this moment, a feeling of confidence that has not been seen in Iraq in an entire generation. The stigma of being occupied is about to be lifted, as is the Iraqis' deep bitterness over the fact that they needed outside help to liberate them from a dictatorship.
These feelings are now being replaced by other sensations. The terror of the past few years has obscured the fact that the country has the potential to become a dominant power in the region once again. It has oil reserves second in size only to those of Saudi Arabia and Iran, and it has more water than Egypt. And despite a massive exodus of doctors, engineers and university graduates, Iraq still has a relatively well-educated population.
"Iraq," says al-Rubaie, "has a great future." He picks up a piece of paper, draws a compass and places Iraq in the middle. "In the west," he says, "we have America and Israel. In the east we have Iran. The Turks and the Europeans are in the north, and the wealthy Gulf Arabs in the south." Iraq will be lost if it becomes embroiled in the West's conflict with Iran, he says. Instead, Iraq must align itself on the north-south axis, says Rubaie, because that is where its future lies.
Persians, Turks and Arabs
The elements of Chalabi's foreign policy concept look a little like the contents of his villa in Baghdad's upscale Mansour district: marble, historic portraits, tasteful furniture and paintings, Persian rugs. A descendant of high-ranking officials during the Ottoman period, Chalabi wants to forge together Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Syria as the successors to the four traditional realms of the Middle East -- Baghdad's Abbasid dynasty, the Persian Sassanid empire, Istanbul's Ottomans and Damascus's Umayyad dynasty -- into a new alliance. The inclusion of Iran in the proposed union is one reason for his falling out of favor with the Americans.
Ignoring small-minded objections, Chalabi envisions a sort of new Baghdad Pact like the Cold War-era treaty adopted by Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan and Britain in 1955. For instance, he believes that the question of who will win the ongoing battle for power in Iran is still completely open. Iraqis and Persians, says Chalabi, have been neighbors for thousands of years, and history is far more significant than the minor conflicts of the present. In other words, the Saddams, the shahs and the mullahs come and go, while the people remain.

Intermixed Sluts
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Black, Asian, Latin and Caucasian babes. Intermixed Sluts has them all and has them all fucking as well. The studs are also of all different colors and stripes, so you definitely will have a lot of variety to look at. What you won't be looking at are recent updates. It's been about four months since the last episode was added. The site has been redesigned since our last visit and it does look a little better.
IntermixedSluts is a hardcore site from 21 Sextury that didn't feel like limiting the porn they could acquire to certain types of chicks or scenes. So they decided to take it all and create an ethnic mélange of hardcore action. Personally, I like the idea and the assortment of action.
Lexi Bardot takes on a wild ebony stud in a gorgeous depiction of interracial action. This hot babe takes on huge, dark cock in her insatiable hunger for dick. She, along with the other sexy starlets on this site, love bringing models of different ethnic backgrounds closer together.
This site offers gorgeous babes who know exactly what they want out of the hot dudes in their scenes. Look for brunettes, blondes, redheads, plus cinnamon and coffee-skinned goddesses working their unique magic on each other and their studs.
There are 135 videos available and each one can ben enjoyed in clips and a full-length file. They can be streamed as well as downloaded in stellar-quality MP4 and Windows Media formats. The 135 photo sets contain high-res images. Enjoy these online or save them in convenient Zip files.
Bonus content includes access to 50 other sites covering a variety of raunchy categories, including Sex City Asia, Lusty Busty Chix and Brothas Fuck Teens. You actually only get access to 30 when you first sign up, then if you remain a member for a month, you get access to 10 more. Another 10 are added after the second month. Not bad at all considering some have more interracial hardcore.
Intermixed Sluts may not be growing right now, but there's more than enough to get you off daily for at least a few months. Fans of interracial hardcore will get their money's worth here.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

For whatever reason, Gaetano Donizetti's Maria Stuarda is only now receiving its first performance at the Metropolitan Opera. It rolls in at number 92 on the operabase list of the most popular operas, so we're not talking about a big hit. Still, it's not exactly a rarity either. Maria Stuarda's star has risen over the last few years, and it was famously controversial in its day. It chronicles the dispute between Queen Elizabeth (of England) and Queen Mary (of the Scots), ending in the decapitation of Queen Mary.
A look back at the Saturday Afternoon at the Opera database shows that Maria Stuarda received its first CBC broadcast in 2002, and has received two further Saturday afternoon presentations, in 2010 and 2011, none of them from the Met.
In performance, it has seen Canadian presentations in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto the last few years. And in 2012, the Houston Grand Opera presented it, featuring Joyce DiDonato in the title role.
It's safe to say that was a warm up for this Met premiere. By all accounts, we've waited far too long for what is a fantastic production. DiDonato is in fine form with a blazing voice. And her rival, playing Queen Elizabeth, is the young South African soprano Elza van den Heever. The New York Times said, "her sound, with its earthy tinge and quick vibrato, is not conventionally beautiful. But her voice has penetrating depth and character. "
Here's a bit of the finale, recorded at the dress rehearsal on Dec. 28:
And here's one of the most famous arias from the opera, Deh! Tu di un'umile preghiera:
I thought this inside look at the production was very insightful as well. It's particularly of interest if you're heading to the theatre for the live in HD presentation:
It's also worth noting that Canadian baritone Joshua Hopkins returns to the Met as Cecil in this production.
Bill Richardson didn't list it in his top five, but I think this is the one production I'm not going to miss this season.
You can find a synopsis on the Met website.
Here's a complete cast list:
Elza van den Heever, ElisabettaJoyce DiDonato, Maria StuardaMatthew Polenzani, LeicesterJoshua Hopkins, CecilMatthew Rose, TalbotMetropolitan Opera Orchestra and ChorusMaurizio Benini, conductor
Complete Maria Stuarda starring Gabriele Fontana and Joyce DiDonato (as Elizabeth in this production)
Both Mary Stewart and Queen Elizabeth I lie buried at Westminster Abbey
Ten Sopranos sing the end of Maria Stuarda

why do you want to know this?
What does it say on the head badge?
It seems like I've heard of Service Cycle Bicycle Company, but I don't remember anything about them. It looks like an inexpensive yet ridable bicycle.
The main frame looks like aluminum, use a magnet to check. The fork is probably steel, again, use a magnet.
It's a inexpensive mongoose frame. Likely 7005 aluminum. Service cycle was the owner of mongoose before Bell sports. I think.
It's hard keeping track of who owns what name. The Mongoose name was owned by the following companies:
BMX Products
Service Cycle
Bell Sports
Brunswick Corporation
Pacific Cycle
Doral Industries
Maybe we should create threads to keep track of who owns what.
It's still 7005 aluminum and not very light. A high quality aluminum frame weighs about 1.8K. The parts are nice however. If you remove the rear wheel, the derailleur hanger may have a logo to tell you who made the frame. My guess would be Apro.

Nice, but is it not also so that A >= x y z and A <= X Y Z for A(x,y)? Which makes that notation less useful....

Electric guitar strings are steel cored strings that usually come in a set of six--the standard (higher) E, B, G, D, A, and (lower) E strings. They are stretched over the neck of the electric guitar and tuned appropriately. Electric guitars strings made with seven to 12 strings are also available, but they are used for specific types of guitar playing. Electric guitar strings are replaced regularly because they are prone to corrosion and snapping, especially the higher and thinner strings. Boiling guitar strings that have developed some form of corrosion helps is a good way to clean them and refresh their sound. Replacement electric guitar strings are readily available in music stores.

The purpose of this study is to determine if DiaPep277 can effectively protect the internal production of insulin in patients newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, by stopping the immune destruction of insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas. DiaPep277 acts on the immune system and is expected to prevent further destruction of the beta-cells by stimulating regulatory responses, without causing immunological suppression.

Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products Regulation (EC) No 1394/2007 : How to make it work
Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products Regulation (EC) No 1394/2007 : How to make it work
Purpose of this meeting
To brief MEPs and Permanent Representatives on the concerns of the biotechnology industry on Member State application of the Regulation on Advanced therapy medicinal products.
Advanced therapies offer the ability to treat diseases in new ways, and the future possibility to cure, rather than merely treat, some diseases. With the Advanced Therapies Regulation, which will apply from 30 December 2008, there is a regulatory framework for industry to put their products on the market in all Member States at the same time. The Regulation creates a single European marketing authorisation for the next generation of cell-therapy, gene-therapy and tissue engineered products.This will allow these products to be placed on the European market only after rigorous review and approval by the EMEA. However the Regulation only will ensure consistency and the efficiency if Member States apply the Regulation in a consistent manner, support the EMEA's competences to meet these demands and communicate about the new rules.

News: Arizona Guard soldiers grab their clipboards, judge for cadets' competition
Story by Sgt. Lauren Twigg
PHOENIX - Hundreds of crisply-uniformed young adults march in small formations throughout the campus and parking lot. The voices of the cadet leaders can be heard pealing sharp commands to their squads.
This annual event hosts all public high schools throughout the state of Arizona, inviting Junior ROTC cadets to compete for the state drill and ceremony champion title. However, they need judges in order to compete – but not just anyone can judge something that requires a trained eye.
Nearly 30 soldiers from the Arizona Army National Guard volunteered to be judges for the competition at Alhambra High School in Phoenix April 13.
The soldiers observed the young cadets on their skill, discipline and accuracy in more than 10 categories in drill and ceremony.
"I did this once before and wanted to get a chance to do it again," said Staff Sgt. Kristin Thompson, who was the noncommissioned officer in charge of coordinating the group of soldiers from the AZNG. "It was nice to see how many schools still support JROTC, and all the kids who are involved in the military-centric program."
Thompson is also an Alhambra H.S. alumnus and felt compelled to participate and help support young adults who potentially seek a military career.
"It was neat coming back to my alma mater and being the NCOIC (for this group), I was able to roam a little more and see everything," Thompson said. "The kids are so motivated with what they are doing."
For the past few years, the Guard has been involved in helping out as volunteers with the event in an effort to maintain community involvement.
"The AZNG soldiers are always ready to support us when we ask," said retired Army Lt. Col. Jackson MacDonald, officer in charge of hosting the event, and command instructor for the JROTC at Alhambra H.S. "The soldiers show up and have a good time. They are enthusiastic, professional, and set a good example for the high school cadets."
The soldiers did not just come out to judge however, as Thompson explained the soldiers were there to mentor and set an example for the students looking at a future in the military.
"I like interacting with the students and getting a chance to see how they progress through the years," Thompson said. "Just coming back a second time I've been able to see where the kids have already developed with their military, career, and education goals."
Our community is fortunate to have a Guard that provides support when asked, MacDonald said.
"We could not have been nearly as successful without the National Guard," MacDonald said.

Jan. 27, 2003
BERKELEY - LaTasha O'Keith knows who's calling when the phone rings at 2 a.m.
It's her younger brother, Marcus, asking to borrow her car to go to Jack in the Box.
Marcus, a 6-1 freshman tailback on the Cal football team, lives upstairs in the Clark Kerr Dormitory from LaTasha, a 5-7 junior guard on the school's basketball squad. Despite their busy schedules, they see each other almost every day, sometimes at less than ideal hours.
After a long day of classes and practice in the fall, 19-year-old Marcus periodically has late night cravings for fast food. LaTasha, 20, doesn't welcome middle of the night calls, especially when she has a 6 a.m. conditioning workout with her team. But she'll make an exception for her brother.
"He is always there to give me advice," said LaTasha. "We're always there to help each other. I'm always there to help him, whether it's money or if he's feeling lonely or down, if he needs a ride, some clothes real quick for a certain event, with anything."
Athletic siblings aren't new to Cal. Recent examples include Solomon and Gabriel Hughes (basketball); Bolota and Yonathan Asmerom (track & field and cross country); Elissa and Lori Riedy (track & field and cross country); Bruce and Keith Vogelgesang (swimming) and Steve and Greg Panawek, who are currently on the basketball and water polo teams, respectively.
LaTasha and Marcus have grabbed the attention of Cal fans as much as any of their sibling predecessors. After excelling athletically at Narbonne High School in Harbor City in Southern California, they are looking to turn around Cal programs, which haven't seen much recent success.
The O'Keith siblings are at different stages in their collegiate careers. LaTasha is one of the stars of the basketball team, while Marcus was a first-year tailback in the fall.
From LaTasha's freshman to her sophomore season at Cal, she more than doubled her scoring average from 3.8 to 9.2 points per game. As the Bears' starting shooting guard last season, she finished second on the team in scoring and steals (1.4 spg), and contributed 3.1 rebounds per contest. The 2002 honorable mention All-Pac-10 selection is Cal's top returning scorer heading into the 2002-03 campaign.
Marcus proudly takes some credit for his sister's trademark aggressive drives to the basket.
"Every time she took it to the hole, I tried to demolish everything," said Marcus. "She liked to get out there and get rough. She played football with us, but most of the time I played basketball with her. I used to rough her up. I elbowed her. I gave her a couple of black eyes and busted her lip. That always stopped the game. She'd get mad at me."
Women's basketball coach Caren Horstmeyer identifies LaTasha as the team's best penetrator. This season, she'd like to see her refine this asset and continue to improve as a defender.
"LaTasha has a great ability to drive to the basket," said Horstmeyer, who enters her third season at Cal. "Hopefully, this year, she'll learn when it is a great time to go to the basket and when it isn't. A great asset LaTasha has, that we haven't seen enough of, is her penetration and dish to a post. She can do that very well, and with the size that we have this year, she should be able to do that more frequently."
Prior to joining the Cal program, LaTasha helped lead the 1999-00 Narbonne team to a No. 1 national ranking (USA Today) and the state title with a 34-0 mark, averaging 11 points, eight assists, five rebounds and four steals per outing.
While LaTasha's statistics were solid in high school, Marcus put up All-American numbers and was more highly recruited by nationally renowned programs. Billed as one of the best running backs in the state by PrepStar magazine, Marcus rushed for more than 3,300 yards and 35 touchdowns in four seasons at Narbonne. He also played varsity basketball for three seasons.
In many ways, Marcus' high school accomplishments overshadowed his sister's. Even so, jealousy never played a part in their lives.
"My brother is blessed with what he's achieved," said LaTasha. "I'm happy for him. I never feel like he's getting more publicity than me, or he's better than me. I'll always support him and be happy for him. There's no negative feelings, even if he is better than me. I'll help him to be even better."
Playing behind senior Joe Igber and sophomore Terrell Williams, Marcus saw limited action before an injury ended his season. A highlight was a 21-yard touchdown run in Cal's 70-22 season-opening win over Baylor.
"I was happy for him," said LaTasha. "It was his first college game. To see him score a touchdown was a blessing. He was so happy. My parents keep playing it every weekend. He said to me 'Tasha, people are so surprised. I've been making touchdowns my whole life. I don't get why they're so surprised.'"
Before Marcus signed a letter of intent to play at Cal, LaTasha researched the new Bears' coaching staff, as she was eager to have her brother become a Golden Bear. Regardless of her wishes, she knew that Marcus had to make the right decision for his future. Marcus acknowledges that his sister was a factor in his decision to don the blue and gold.
"Tasha always used to tell me that she wanted me to go to the best college that fits me," said Marcus. "I know that deep down inside she wanted me to come to Cal. When I got up here, everyone was saying, 'Your sister has been talking about you and how much she wants you to come up here and do well.' She was real excited about my decision. That makes me feel good. That's one of the reasons I picked to go here."
Their mother, Jackie, played basketball and their father, Mark, lettered in football at different junior colleges. Neither pushed their children to play sports but were there to support them in all of their athletic endeavors.
Growing up, the duo shared many of the same friends and spent ample time together playing sports, going shopping and hanging out. Family vacations to Paris and London, along with trips within the United States to LaTasha's basketball tournaments, helped build a strong sibling bond.
"It's always good to have your brother, who is also your best friend, with you," said LaTasha.
The siblings say they both love to laugh and joke around. However, LaTasha sees some differences in their personalities.
"I don't think Marcus worries," she said. "He's more laid back than me. He's outgoing, but I don't think he's as outgoing as me. He's confident because of our family, and so am I."
LaTasha also admits that Marcus is more of a natural athlete, whereas she has had to work harder for her athletic success. Both of their collegiate careers should improve with the added family support on campus. Just as she did when they were younger, LaTasha strives to be a good role model for Marcus at Cal.
Bowl bids, Pac-10 titles and NCAA Tournaments are some of the things the siblings aspire to achieve before they graduate. While a strong sports legacy would be great to leave behind, both want to be known for more than their athletic accomplishments.
"I want people to remember us as a really good family, a family that was fun to be around," she said.
Lucky for Marcus, his family will always be there, even in the middle of the night. N

I was just given an old Odyssey Compact 10" dob w/ a Telrad, JMI miniMAX and two Orion 2" eyepieces (ER 32mm + PL 50mm). The only problem is that, as much as I know about dobs from using them at club meetings for awhile, I'm a bit overwhelmed. I know the what the Telrad is and how to use it and that the eyepieces should be excellent, but I have no idea what this computer thing is and what it does, whether it works or not, how to collimate a dob or whether or not the mirrors are secure in there. All I know is that the telescope has been sitting in a garage for a few years and worked well before being put away, the primary is slightly dirty, the Telrad works and this other computer at least turns on.
I guess my question is should I jump out and try it...or are there a few basic things I should know or look over first?
I would like to (rather soon) construct at the very minimum a truss tube dob utilizing the optics, PVC focuser, etc. because this thing is HEAVY. But otherwise my immediate concern is how well this works as a visual instrument.

The U.S. Federal Reserve on Friday proposed to tighten the leash on foreign banks to protect taxpayers from having to bail them out, in what banks said could lead to a pullback from U.S. markets.
The rules will likely make it more expensive for foreign banks to operate in America, and attorneys who work with foreign banks said that they needed to rethink whether they can maintain their current operations.
The plan would force foreign banks to group all their subsidiaries under a holding company, subject to the same capital standards as U.S. holding companies. The biggest banks will also need to hold liquidity buffers.
"The proposal would not disadvantage foreign banking organizations relative to domestic U.S. banking firms, but rather it seeks to maintain a level playing field," Fed Governor Jeremy Stein said at a board meeting.
Banks with fewer than $10 billion in U.S. assets would not need to comply with the new rules, the Fed said. The proposal was previewed in some detail by Fed Governor Daniel Tarullo last month, who said regulators remained wary of the risks posed by big banks that do business globally, and are prepared to tighten the rules as a precaution.
The Fed's Board of Governors voted unanimously to release the proposal for public comment.
The Fed said that while extra capital and liquidity buffers could "incrementally" boost costs, it would also make banks more stable. But international banks complained.
"The Fed's approach is...overly broad and could prompt foreign banks to pull back from the U.S. market, hurting our economy and financial markets," the Institute of International Bankers said in a statement.
The United States has traditionally relied on foreign supervisors to watch overseas banks, allowing them to hold less capital than their domestic counterparts.
The 2010 Dodd-Frank broad overhaul of the U.S. Financial landscape put an end to that policy, after the Fed was forced to extend hundreds of billions of dollars in emergency loans to overseas banks in the financial crisis.
Deutsche Bank, Germany's flagship lender, is among those to be heavily affected after it overhauled its U.S. subsidiary Taunus to avoid having to inject billions of dollars of capital to meet Dodd-Frank financial reforms.
This year, Deutsche gave up bank holding company status for Taunus Corp, which has about $90 billion of risk-weighted assets, but will now have to put the unit back into

Hello fellow members,
My name is Greg Diodati and I am glad to be apart of this group. I have been out of cycling for many years and have recently picked up the bug again. I complete my first organized ride last weekend, 25 miles in Palm Springs and had a blast.
I own an early 90's Bianchi Limited, I've kept it in good shape over the years (partially due to lack of use). I am interested in learning if I can upgrade my components to take advantage of new technology. I am learning it may not be possible, but we'll see.
I look forward to getting to know you better through our interaction here.

The University of Washington School of Law community was fortunate to receive a lecture and book signing by Charles Ogletree, the Harvard Law School Jesse Climenko Professor of Law and Founding/Executive Director of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice. A full house, including students, faculty and staff of the law school, as well as a number of attorneys and friends from throughout the city came to hear the Professor speak about complex issues of law and the ongoing need to work to secure the rights guaranteed by the Constitution for everyone equally under the law. With a special emphasis on issues of educational equality, Professor Ogletree gave all listeners serious food for thought and an invitation to engage in strategic advocacy to improve our world.

GERMANY: 30 Seconds to finish BIG Petition
In the beginning of 2009 more than 50,000 people supported the petition of Susanne Wiest, who demanded a Basic Income for Germany. Almost 2 years later a public hearing on the issue took place. And almost another 2 years later, on 28th June 2013, the topic was closed after 30 seconds without a further discussion.
The left-wing online journal "Neues Deutschland" commented in an article: From a political point of view this was a clandestinely funeral of an objective which some years ago attracted great attention – and which actually can not be eliminated with a usual form of ticking off.
The factions of the Green and Left Party voted against the finishing. In a statement of the Green Party they explain: It is important for the subscribers to combine the general principle of justice and emancipating social policy with the importance of public institutions and financial feasibility. Considering the increasing growth problem and broad restructuring of the economy by processes of rationalization we need in the long term a transformation of the social state.
Katja Kipping, the leader of the Left Party published also a personal statement against the finishing of the petition, because the principle objection and the social importance of a discussion on the Unconditional Basic Income is not taken into account. Considering the increasing social division in Germany and Europe I consider it for necessary to discuss alternative ideas and practical approaches seriously also in the German Bundestag to improve the social situation of the people.
Both parties, Left and Green, as well as the Pirate Party, suggest in their election manifestos an enquiry commission to continue the discussion on Basic Income within the German Bundestag. The petition brought this discussion into the parliament and the mentioned parties refuse a finishing of the petition in the meaning to end the discussion. The elections on 22nd September 2013 will show what is going to happen further.

To Stay Fit on the Road, Take the Long Way
Road Warrior provides travel tips from those who know best: busy executives and other globetrotters.
Greg Gordon is an international party-starter. He founded the company Partymachines.com Inc. in 1999, selling foam, bubble and snow machines to bars, nightclubs, rental companies, summer camps and amusement parks from his native Austin, Texas.
In 2010, he relocated to Beijing to cut costs and improve the quality of his products, and he now manages Partymachines.com out of China, working with clients around the globe.
Mr. Gordon, 39 years old, is its chief executive officer, but he prefers "superhero" to a formal title.
How often are you up in the air? Twelve to 16 times a year.
Where do you go the most? The U.S., for trade shows and to see my mother. In the U.S., I get to recharge. I eat Tex-Mex, in Austin, preferably. I go most frequently to Las Vegas for trade shows. In China, I go to Guangzhou about three times a year to buy equipment. There is nothing sexy about Guangzhou for me. It's work.
What's your favorite hotel in Asia? I really enjoy Shangri-La because of their happy hour and dinner (for a small up-charge at check-in) and wonderful breakfast spread. When I get out of Beijing, sometimes I simply want to relax and be away from the hustle of the big city.
Favorite airport? I enjoy the Tokyo airport because of the VIP traveler lounge. Their food and beverage selections exceed expectations.
Who does check-in right? Southwest Airlines does check-in right in the U.S. Internationally, I have only positive experiences checking in with Delta.
Best frequent-flier lounge? The Tokyo United lounge.
What's your preferred carrier? In Asia, it's Air China, because I can use my United points. In the U.S., it's United.
Preferred in-flight entertainment? I watch whatever movies they're showing on the flight, and I read.
What's your favorite airport-to-city journey? It's exciting to go from the Austin airport to the city, because I'm going home.
Any packing tips? Bring less than you think you need. I only bring one suitcase and a carry-on, and my iPhone. I'm Mr. Light Travel.
How do you keep up with exercise while on the road? I don't go to a gym, it's against my religion. I try to walk. I take the long way.
Essential travel gadgets? I don't carry any paper. All of my travel information is on my iPhone.
What's your advice on scoring an upgrade? Be sweet. Just be sweet to the counter attendants. You catch more flies with honey. The attendants are tough, though. There are some things my charm doesn't work on.
What city has the best taxis? I enjoy the bargain pricing of taxi rides in mainland China. I really enjoy the English-speaking taxi drivers in Hong Kong.
Favorite luggage? I love my Tumi backpack/briefcase with all of its pockets and compartments. It holds up to wear and tear extremely well.
What's your Travel Tip 101? I always tell people to make sure your mother or spouse has a copy of your passport, visa and itinerary. I do not find it necessary to ever pack more clothes for anything more than four days. Washing during a trip always ends up being much less complicated for me than having a cumbersome amount of luggage.
How do you beat jet lag? There's no way to beat jet lag. You've just got to cowboy through it — tough it out. Anyone who tells you differently is lying.
– Edited from an interview with Casey Hynes

Farmers and ranchers will for the first time need a prescription from a veterinarian before using antibiotics in farm animals, in hopes that more judicious use of the drugs will reduce the tens of thousands of human deaths that result each year from the drugs overuse.
The Food and Drug Administration announced the new rule Wednesday after trying for more than 35 years to stop farmers and ranchers from feeding antibiotics to cattle, pigs, chickens and other animals simply to help the animals grow larger. Using small amounts of antibiotics over long periods of time leads to the growth of bacteria that are resistant to the drugs effects, endangering humans who become infected but cannot be treated with routine antibiotic therapy.
At least two million people are sickened and an estimated 99,000 die every year from hospital-acquired infections, the majority of which result from such resistant strains. It is unknown how many of these illnesses and deaths result from agricultural uses of antibiotics, but about 80 percent of antibiotics sold in the United States are used in animals.
Michael Taylor, the F.D.A.s deputy commissioner for food, predicted that the new restrictions would save lives because farmers would have to convince a veterinarian that their animals were either sick or at risk of getting a specific illness. Just using the drugs for growth will be disallowed and, it is hoped, this will cut their use sharply. The new requirements will also make obtaining antibiotics more cumbersome and expensive.
Were confident that it will result in significant reductions in agricultural antibiotic use, Mr. Taylor said. Thats why were doing this.
Tens of thousands of deaths? Boogie boogie.
Appears to be an exaggeration of an extrapolation.

Everybody wants to put their own spin on a topic, sometimes leading to "misstating" facts for the purpose of getting more viewers/readers/website visitors. Do your own search and see how various outlets try to cover this announcement from FDA using their own language. How many actually include all facts?
Read the April 11 FDA announcement. FDA takes steps to protect public health
And, regarding this NYT sentence: It is unknown how many of these illnesses and deaths result from agricultural uses of antibiotics, but about 80 percent of antibiotics sold in the United States are used in animals.

Reason: Add website.
Tens of thousands is a bit of a stretch.
good move here
Seems like a no brainer.
wow, read the reader comments, that is exactly why im worried about the future of this planet, stupidity breeding.
My favorite was the "look at those pigs in that picture. crammed in their fighting for food, horrifying"
When I saw the picture i thought finally they used a decent picture!
ya those pigs look terrified lol!

Is this going to change things that drastically? Not really.
It is probably a good middle ground since neither the livestock groups or the activists are extremely happy with it.
This is a good start.

Saw this the other day and thought it might be appropriate to relate it to a thread like this:
Subterranean bacteria are prepared to survive antibiotics - latimes.com
No place on Earth demonstrates the resilience or inventiveness of life quite like Lechuguilla Cave, whose subterranean tunnels stretch for 130 miles through Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico.
Deep in the cave's mostarid recesses, deprived of all sunlight and mostly starved of life-giving water, a lush garden of bacteria grows. Untouched by humans for all of their 4 million years, these strains of bacteria thrive on the harsh minerals of the geological formations to which they cling and fend off other life forms that would prey on them.
It is a simple life. But new research suggests it could tell us volumes about the medicines doctors rely upon to combat infection and why, increasingly, they are failing.
Scientists who collected 93 strains of bacteria from the forbidding depths of Lechuguilla found that all were resistant to at least one of the antibiotics that modern medicine uses to fight bacterial infections and some were resistant to at least 14. In addition, virtually all of the 26 antibiotics tested as part of the study proved useless in killing at least one of the strains of bacteria collected.
That these life forms evolved in ways that appear to anticipate medicines attests to bacteria's remarkable powers of survival. It also suggests that the rise in antibiotic- resistant diseases isn't due entirely to the runaway use of these drugs; rather, try as you might to kill them, bacteria are programmed to endure.
Asteroids are nature's way of asking "How's that space program going?"

I'll listen when someone can prove or link an antibiotic's use in livestock and its resistance in humans.
TykeClone's thing he just posted just goes to show that antibiotics aren't perfect, and I don't think everyone expected them to be. They are a tool to be used as necessary.

See this article Meat & Poultry | Livestock antibiotic use wildly overestimated by critics
Even if 80% of antibiotics are used in animals, let's think about that for a minute.
There are roughly 300 million people in the US. There are 9 billion chickens butchered for food in the US every year. This does not include the 280 million laying hens. There are over 270 million turkeys in the US, 40 million beef and dairy cattle, 200,000 livestock bison, over 60 million swine, and 2-4 million goats in the US. And those are just the most common agricultural animals - this does not include pets or zoo animals.
Since dosage is related to body weight, think about this. The body weight of the cattle alone would approximately equal the body weight of the entire human population.

NEW DELHI: The baroque Ashram of controversial 'godman' Chandraswami has sprung to life again. Situated in the verdant surroundings of quiet Qutub Institutional Area of South Delhi, with high fortress-like walls surrounding it, the ashram is humming with activity once again.
Armed with their horoscopes, politicians of all hues have been visiting him, wanting to know their electoral fortunes. It doesn't matter to them that the man was in the news for all the wrong reasons in the 1990s and the decade after.

Reasons to Wait on Buying Your First Home
Posted By Jim On 08/13/2012 @ 7:30 am In The Home | 8 Comments
If you've been thinking about buying a home, you've probably heard or read, in about a million difference places, that now is a fantastic time to buy a home. Interest rates are absurdly low, with 30-year fixed mortgages well under 4%, inventory is high, and it's a great time to be a buyer. I don't, and I don't think anyone can, dispute any of that. It really is a fantastic time to buy a home, whether it's your first, second, or fifth house; but before you pull the trigger, I have a few words of advice from a homeowners (we bought seven years ago) for those of you who are looking at buying your first home.
When we moved into our current home, a 2400 square foot townhouse split across three floors, we were both moving from apartments with far less space. I didn't have any furniture outside of a bed, a desk, and maybe a bookcase. Moving was a pain but it wasn't terribly difficult because I didn't have much stuff.
Seven years later, living in more space, we have a lot more stuff. We have 2400 square feet filled with stuff and when it comes time to move, it'll be a pain to move it all. We have a couple desks, a couple beds, half a dozen bookcases, two couches, … the list goes on. That doesn't even count all the stuff in the bookcases, drawers, and cabinets. When you buy your home, you'll fill it. So before you buy that first home, be sure it's a place you'll be living in for a while.
In addition to just the accumulation of stuff, it'll be hard to move once you buy because you'll have to sell, or rent, your home. Selling a home is a time consuming process regardless of the market. You need to prepare your home to be sold, you need to get an agent (or not), put it on the market, negotiate with buyers, prepare the documents, and then sell it. It's not an easy proposition. It's not like selling a few shares of stock, it's kind of a pain. And that's if you find a buyer immediately!
When you rent, you don't build equity but you retain mobility. That's value to that. You can move to go to a different job more easily and go after opportunity without worrying about what you'll do with the biggest asset you have. You may not build equity but there are other things you can build.
Owning a home is a lot of work and chances are you don't have a good idea of what you like about a house, unless you have rented a home before. In fact, before you buy a house, I recommend that you spend at least a year renting a house. It'll give you a better idea of what to expect, without all the hard work. If the water heater breaks, call the landlord and have him fix it!
Just living in a home as an adult (as opposed to when you were a kid) gives you perspective. It helps you understand what might be involved in owning a home and what aspects of the home you'll truly appreciate. When we bought our home, we liked the idea of the fireplace but it wasn't something on our list of "must haves." After using it a few times over our first winter, we now know that we really like a fire place.
Another feature of our home that we didn't realize we'd like as much was proximity to the local library and the numerous paths near our home. We can go on walks in the woods pretty quickly and easily throughout our neighborhood. We have a lake nearby that is just a mile or so away. We knew we'd like that but we didn't know how much we'd like it until we lived here.
Finally, I'm always wary whenever experts all start saying the same thing – now is the best time to buy a home. It might be the best time from a larger economic perspective, and it's certainly better for realtors :), but it may not be the right time for you. You don't want to be stretching your budget to buy your house, certainly not now when homes are plentiful and terms are great. It's not like the rates will skyrocket to 8% in a week. Heck, they won't skyrocket to 4% in a week.
So, if you're itching to buy your first time, consider these reasons to slow down.
