On his blog, professional sports photographer Jeff Cable has briefly reported on his experiences with a "hand built" (prototype) Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM lens. "I borrowed t[he] 200-400 and it is amazing!" Cable says. "Canon and Nikon both loan lens and cameras to all Olympic photographers… I am like a kid in a candy store." Canon first announced the development of this lens back in February, claiming that it "will offer an unsurpassed combination of versatility, first-class optical performance and an enhanced weather-proof construction."

I will have a cardiologist and orthopedic surgeon coming down with me, and they would like to see me as many times as possible out on the course to make sure I am not dying or snapping my femurs.
What would be the best way for them to accomplish their goal?
If they are going to choose one spot, I think the best cheering spot is at the top of the hill at mile 19. They can see the runners three times: when they pass at around mile 6, then again at the top of the worst hill at 19, then when they come out of the little .6 mile loop that is at that point.
Then they'll still have time to get in the car and drive to the finish before you get there.
Plus they will get to see a lot of pain and carnage.
Not a lot of parking space up there.
True. Though I think you could line some cars on the side of the road on the way to Luke Lea. It's also a long drive in the park around to that point, and maybe not so easy to find if you're not familiar with the course.
This is not too far from the Stone Gates, no? Or is that road only one-way around the park?
We'll figure it out.

The Other Best Bands of Lollapalooza 2012
It's predictable, but dependable: The shortest, surest path to outrunning the sophomore slump is to double down on what you brought the first time. For Passion Pit, that's synthesizers piled upon synthesizers, a ridiculous number of synthesizers, as if they're chasing some kind of Guinness record for most synthesizers on a single track. If there's a guitar in here somewhere — and I'm not sure there is — it's probably just a synthesizer programmed to sound like one. Luckily, they've also doubled down on pop song craft, and if this isn't one of the bounciest sing-alongs of the year, it's definitely a last-minute contender for song of the summer.
Because searching out the male pronouns is so two weeks ago. What won't get old is wondering if this is what R. Kelly might sound like if he holed up for a week with a stack of Mother Jones back issues and started kicking out socioeconomic broadsides.

Osmolytes are compounds affecting osmosis.[1] They are soluble in the solution within a cell, or in the surrounding fluid, e.g. as plasma osmolytes. They play a role in maintaining cell volume and fluid balance. For example, when a cell swells due to external osmotic pressure, membrane channels open and allow efflux of osmolytes which carry water with them, restoring normal cell volume.[2]
Natural osmolytes that can act as osmoprotectants include trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), dimethylsulfoniopropionate, trimethylglycine, sarcosine, betaine, glycerophosphorylcholine, myo-inositol, taurine and others.[3] In humans, osmolytes are of particular importance in the renal medulla.[4]

CordaRoys owner shakes off nerves after 'Shark Tank' appearance
Published: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 2:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 2:34 p.m.
CordaRoys owner Byron Young said pitching his business on ABC's "Shark Tank" was "the most nerve-wracking experience I've ever had in my life."
"Shark Tank" features entrepreneurs trying to persuade five multimillionaires to invest in their ideas. The episode with Young airs at 9 p.m. Friday.
"I've been doing this for 15 years, and talking about selling part of my business -- it might be fun and games in their world but it's how I feed my kids," he said.
Young is holding a watch party that is open to the public from 8-10 p.m. at Cymplify Central and CYM Coffee Co., 5402 NW Eighth Ave.
CordaRoys sells beanbags that come with covers stuffed with futon-like beds. The company started 15 years ago at a kiosk in The Oaks Mall and now has stores in Minneapolis and South Bend, Ind., is in 40 other furniture stores and sells through www.CordaRoys.com and other online retailers such as walmart.com. The headquarters is at 5310 NW Eighth Ave.
Although he won't reveal how the show turned out, Young said that being grilled about the details of his business by five people "throwing questions" at the same time was "brutal."
"It wasn't until two days after we filmed I felt like myself again. I thought I was dying of a rare disease. Turned out to be stress," he said. "I take things seriously, and I want to do well and not look like an idiot, so that's important to me. Maybe a little too important."
While many people who appear on the show pitch new ideas, CordaRoys had $1.4 million in sales last year.
Young said the business needs to be doing $5 million in sales.
"Until this product is a household name, we have a long ways to go."
Whether the show results in a deal, Young said it should put him in front of about 6 million viewers and provide "about a million dollars worth of advertising" from the exposure.
Young attended a casting call in Orlando in October, and the show filmed in November.

ANOTHER accident has happened on the A39 Quantock Road, involving a 44-tonne lorry.

The Acoustic Piano Database is a listing of virtually every brand, model, style, and finish of new piano distributed nationwide in the United States and, for the most part, Canada — more than 3,000 of them. It's the same listing contained in both the online and print editions of Acoustic & Digital Piano Buyer. But whereas the book is updated only twice a year, the database is updated continuously. You can search and sort the database on brand name, price range, size, furniture style, finish, and more. So if you're looking for a piano to fit a certain budget, size, or furniture style, you can both narrow your search and expand your knowledge of available options quickly and easily. You can also "dial in" a discount to estimate a "street price."
Database ©2012 Brookside Press LLC. All Rights Reserved.
On the search page, as a convenience, we offer three choices regarding the purchase of an electronic player-piano add-on (retrofit) system installed in the piano: No Player-Piano System; Player-Piano System with Playback and Accompaniment; and Player-Piano System with Playback, Accompaniment, and Record. These systems vary widely in price depending on the particular system and options purchased, how the dealer acquired and installed the system, and other considerations, which are detailed in the article "Buying an Electronic Player-Piano System" in Acoustic & Digital Piano Buyer. Here, however, for simplicity, we add $7,500 for a system with playback and accompaniment, and $9,300 for a system with playback, accompaniment, and record. These represent approximate "MSRP" or "Suggested Maximum Prices" for basic PianoDisc or QRS systems as frequently configured by dealers. These prices are subject to discount in the same manner, and to about the same extent, as the piano prices. System configurations and prices do vary, however, so all prices should just be considered convenient estimates.
Please note that Yamaha Disklavier pianos will not appear on the results page when the "No Player-Piano System" option is chosen. When one of the other two options is chosen, Disklaviers will appear (if they match the other search criteria), but the $7,500 or $9,300 will not be added to the price because these instruments' prices as listed already include the player-piano system.
Using your browser's "bookmarking" or "favorites" feature to bookmark the results page, you can save the criteria you used for searching. Then, when you call up the bookmarked page, the results will appear. If the database has been updated since you originally bookmarked the page, the new data will be used in place of the old.
To save your actual results (not just the criteria), use your browser's "Save As" function to save the results page as a web page. To print your results, use your browser's "Print" function.
Although Acoustic & Digital Piano Buyer is updated twice a year, this database is updated whenever new information comes to our attention or errors are reported. Therefore, the information in this database may differ slightly from that in the publication, and should be considered the more accurate of the two.
Please report suspected errors or problems to [email protected]. For problems, be sure to report your operating system and browser type.

Cornelius McGillicuddy, Sr. (December 22, 1862 – February 8, 1956), better known as Connie Mack, was an American professional baseball player, manager, and team owner. The longest-serving manager in Major League Baseball history, he holds records for wins(3,731), losses (3,948), and games managed (7,755), with his victory total being almost 1,000 more than any other manager.
Mack managed the Philadelphia Athletics for the club's first 50 seasons of play, starting in 1901, before retiring at age 87 following the 1950 season, and was at least part-owner from 1901 to 1954. He was the first manager to win the World Series three times, and is the only manager to win consecutive Series on separate occasions (1910–11, 1929–30); his five Series titles remain the third most by any manager, and his nine American League pennants rank second in league history. However, constant financial struggles forced repeated rebuilding of the roster, and Mack's teams also finished in last place 17 times. Mack was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1937
He was widely praised in the newspapers for his intelligent and innovative managing, which earned him the nickname "the Tall Tactician". He valued intelligence and "baseball smarts", always looking for educated players. (He traded away Shoeless Joe Jackson despite his talent because of his bad attitude and unintelligent play.[9]) "Better than any other manager, Mack understood and promoted intelligence as an element of excellence."[10] He wanted men who were self-directed, self-disciplined and self-motivated; his ideal player was Eddie Collins
Over the course of his career he had nine pennant-winning teams spanning three peak periods or "dynasties." His original team, with players like Rube Waddell, Ossee Schreckengost, and Eddie Plank, won the pennant in 1902 (when there was no World Series) and 1905, losing the 1905 World Series to the New York Giants (four games to one, all shutouts, with Christy Mathewson hurling three complete game shutouts for a record 27 scoreless innings in one World Series). During that season, Giant manager John McGraw said that Mack had "a big white elephant on his hands" with the Athletics. Mack defiantly adopted the white elephant as the team's logo, which the Athletics still use today.
As that first team aged, Mack acquired a core of young players to form his second great team, which featured Mack's famous "$100,000 infield" of Eddie Collins, Home Run Baker, Jack Barry and Stuffy McInnis. These Athletics, captained by catcher Ira Thomas, won the pennant in 1910, 1911, 1913 and 1914, beating the Cubs in the World Series in 1910 and the Giants in 1911 and 1913, but losing in 1914 in four straight games to the "Miracle"Boston Braves, who had come from last place in late July to win the National League pennant by 6 1/2 games over the Giants.
That team was dispersed due to financial problems, from which Mack did not recover until the twenties, when he built his third great team. The 1927 Athletics featured several future Hall of Fame players including veterans Ty Cobb, Zack Wheat and Eddie Collins as well as young stars like Mickey Cochrane, Lefty Grove, Al Simmons and rookie Jimmie Foxx. That team won the pennant in 1929, 1930 and 1931, beating the Chicago Cubs in the 1929 World Series (when they came from 8-0 behind in Game 4, plating a Series record ten runs in the seventh inning and winning the game 10-8, and then from two runs down in the bottom of the ninth in Game 5 for a walk-off Series win) and easily defeating the St. Louis Cardinals in 1930, who then turned around and beat them in seven games in 1931 led by the brilliant Pepper Martin.
That team was dispersed after 1932 when Mack ran into financial difficulty again
He was born in East Brookfield, Massachusetts to Irish immigrants, Michael McGillicuddy and Mary McKillop. He did not have a middle name, but many accounts erroneously give him the middle name "Alexander"; this error probably arose because his son Cornelius McGillicuddy Jr. took Alexander as his confirmation nameHome of Connie Mack on Cliveden Avenue in Northwest Philadelphia
In 1877, Mack left school at the age of fourteen after finishing the eighth grade. Partly this was because he needed to help support his large extended family, since his father, whose health had been ruined in the Civil War, was an alcoholic and no longer worked. Mack always regretted his lack of education and advised college players to finish their degrees before they began their baseball careers.[34]
On November 2, 1887, he married Margaret Hogan, whom the Spencer Leader described as having "a sunny and vivacious disposition." They had three children, Earle, Roy, and Marguerite. Margaret died in December 1892 after complications from her third childbirth.
He married a second time on October 27, 1910. His second wife was Catherine (or Katharine) Holahan (or Hoolahan); the census records disagree. (The wedding register reads "Catarina Hallahan".) The couple had four daughters and a son, Cornelius Jr. A faithful Catholic his entire life, Mack was also a longtime member of theKnights of Columbus (Santa Maria Council 263 in Flourtown, Pennsylvania).[35]
From early on in life he was known as "Mack", as his father had been. However, he never formally changed his name. On the occasion of his second marriage, at age 48, he signed the wedding register "Cornelius McGillicuddy".[36] His nickname on the field was "Slats."

The bonus is not available for withdrawal for 180 days after it is awarded to your account. Qualifying assets must remain in the account (minus any losses related to trading or market volatility) for at least 9 months following the 90-day period or your bonus may be reclaimed. Bonus may be refused or recovered if it is determined that you violated Capital One Investing's Account Agreement.

To the extent required by law, Capital One will report the total value of the bonus with respect to a non-IRA investment account to the IRS on Form 1099-INT for the applicable tax year in which it is paid. Account holders should consult a tax or legal advisor to determine the appropriate tax treatment of this bonus for tax purposes.
For traditional and Roth IRAs, the bonus is a cash award that will be deposited directly into the account holder's IRA and treated the same as investment earnings in the account. The bonus will not be reported to the IRS as an IRA contribution and will be reported when distributed on Form 1099-R the same as the remainder of your IRA balance. Account holders should consult their tax or legal advisor about the treatment of earnings in IRAs, guidelines on IRS contribution limits, and the appropriate tax treatment for this bonus before accepting the bonus.

Sleep apnea is a condition that affects the way you breathe while sleeping – often leading to frequent, loud snoring. Specifically, this is instigated when the soft tissue in the back of your throat relaxes while you sleep, causing interruptions in breathing. These interruptions usually last between 10 to 20 seconds and can occur up to hundreds of times a night. Sleep apnea is typically more prevalent in males, smokers, and the elderly; it can also cause a wide range of problems from sleep disturbance to more serious health issues; however, with advances in dental devices, this condition can now be treated and controlled.
Sleep apnea can be treated by utilizing dental devices. Most of these devices are acrylic and fit inside your mouth like an athletic mouth guard. Other devices such as the mandibular repositioning device and the tongue retaining device are worn over the head and chin, which helps adjust the position of your jaw and tongue so that your airways remain open. When using these dental devices, it's important to consult a dentist who specializes in sleep apnea and have the equipment properly fitted. There are other things you can do every day to minimize sleep apnea, including avoiding smoking, alcohol, heavy meals, caffeine, keeping regular sleeping hours and sleeping on your side.

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 7.24.14
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed that finds two of New York's favorite sons out on their best behavior, with Alec Baldwin fraternizing with the homeless and Shia Labeouf actually wearing a clean-looking suit to court. Are they turning a new leaf, or should I keep making flagrantly irresponsible assumptions about two men I know nothing about based on a single candid photo? What I will definitely do, however, is proudly offer up this damning piece of evidence I've patiently waited for, so I can finally nail Joe Jonas' ass.

SMWC Senior Shows Off Artwork
January 28th, 2013 | SMWC
By Jessica Claycomb, College Relations Intern
Colorful and bold are just two words to describe Katelyn Duke's art exhibit. Duke, a senior from Marshall, Ill., recently exhibited her works at the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Art Gallery. On display were works from her freshman to her current senior year.
Evaluating all of her previous artwork to find pieces for the show was the most rewarding part of the preparation. "As the years went on, I could see how I had improved," Duke commented.
Presented in the show are a wide variety of mediums including oil paint, digital work, pencil, and mixed mediums. Duke said art is an eclectic study and therefore the mixed media makes art shows more interesting and engaging.
Duke pointed out two pieces in her show as her favorites: the oil painting "Colors" and the digitally created "Encoded Zoo" pictures. "Colors" gave Duke "the ability to express emotions through colors," she says, while she enjoys "Encoded Zoo" because it was created in the program Adobe Illustrator which is her favorite program for her graphic design courses and it allowed her to start from scratch and use her own sketches then transfer them to the program.
Looking back as a senior, Duke loved all of her graphic design classes with Rebecca Andrews, associate professor of graphic design. "She's inspired me to think more as a graphic designer and to make my artwork look more clean and sharp with line and form."
What is the most memorable lesson she has learned? Well, Duke will admit it didn't come from the books. She has learned that rather than doing what you think is better, as a designer you need to do what the client wants because it is always the client that you want to make happy. And she has had plenty of experience to put this lesson into action.
As part of the curriculum for her major, Duke is required to work with different clients to get real world experience. These clients include the Aurora Literary Arts Magazine; SMWC campus ministry, designing the t-shirt for the alternative spring break trip; and an internship at Big Picture where she created posters and business cards.
Most recently, her work has taken her to the corporate office of Larry Paul Tanning Spa in Terre Haute, Ind. There she works in marketing, making billboards, commercials, and mixed promotions for the business. Duke plans on working full-time with the spa after graduation in May of 2013. "I'm really just focused on maintaining a good, stable career to where I can make myself feel more successful as the years go on."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/6/2012 (1905 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
CHERYL Funk made it to the Challenge for Life finish line, but the Winnipeg accountant admits last year's charity event left her sore, out of breath and fatigued.
"It was pretty tough, the last five kilometres of the walk.
It was a very hot day," says Funk, who walked the Cancer Care Manitoba fundraiser with her Bison Transport coworkers.
"I didn't feel so well by the end."
Funk, 53, was too exhausted to stay for the closing ceremony and instead hobbled back to her car, drove home and rested her blistered feet.
In hindsight, Funk — who has struggled with her weight her whole life — realized she didn't train well enough for the event. And she needed to eat better and lose weight. She was out of shape and she wanted to get healthy.
So last August, she decided to do just that. She made training for the 2012 Challenge for Life a priority.
The walking event, now in its fifth year, raises money for cancer treatment and research in the province.
Now Funk is 56 pounds lighter, down to a size 12 from a size 20.
And she's more determined than ever to walk the 2012 walk next Saturday briskly, without the aches and pains she suffered last year.
Funk says taking steps towards good health wasn't easy.
"It's hard. Trying to lose weight and getting fit is a big mental game," says Funk, who is shy and modest about her accomplishments. "I've always felt like I didn't have time to concentrate on that. Work was always very busy. I just didn't take the time to care for myself."
It was the charity walk that changed everything — her body and her state of mind. "The whole Challenge for Life thing — they were encouraging us to challenge ourselves and have some sort of goal," she says.
How did she do it?
Her regimen includes workouts at Curves three to four times weekly. The women-only fitness chain offers circuit training on special hydraulic-system machines that offer both cardiovascular exercise combined with resistance training. Walking makes up the other part of her exercise routine. She often hits the pavement around her Crescentwood neighbourhood.
To mix things up when she gets bored of her neighbourhood walks, she heads to Assiniboine Park or to Birds Hill. She also walks with a Saturday Challenge for Life training group.
During most of her weekday lunch breaks, she walks a St. James trail near work.
Her roadwork has helped her discover a whole new Winnipeg she had never seen before. "That's what I've found. The city has a lot of walkways, bikeways, that kind of thing. Even the little statues near the edge of Grant and Moray," she says. "Those aren't the kinds of things you see if you're just driving."
To kick-start her lower-calorie eating regimen, she joined Jenny Craig, which offers prepared meals. Now she's graduated to making her own food a few times weekly. Her meals include lots of salads, vegetables and grilled meat.
It took a few months of exercise and lower-calorie eating before she lost her first 20 pounds. "My clothes started to feel looser," says Funk.
By March, she had lost a total of 35 pounds and had to buy a new wardrobe for the Grand Cayman Islands trip she took with her sisters.
Now down 56 pounds, Funk says she has 10 more pounds before she reaches her goal.
She says she's come a long way from the days when she couldn't climb up a flight of stairs and was a slave to her chocolate and fast food cravings.
But the biggest change is the confidence her newfound fitness has given her.
She's still not used to the compliments from people at work or from her church.
"People are noticing so much now that sometimes it feels a little awkward having so many compliments. I've never been somebody who would have received them," she says. "And people are very positive about the change and about the way I look."
What drives her to keep going?
Some of the people she's known — a few at her church — who have had cancer. Some have survived, some haven't.
"You never know when cancer is going to hit," says Funk. "But I don't dwell on it."
For now, it's all positive about the upcoming Challenge for Life.
"I think I'll finish in close to the same time as last year," she says.
"But I think I'll feel so much better."
Challenge for Life organizers say they need at least 100 more people to register for the June 9 event. Each participant is required to raise $1,000 to enter. For more information, log onto the Cancer Care Manitoba Foundation website at www.cancercarefdn.mb.ca

European Film Laboratory services company Cinelabs International has expanded into the UK with the acquisition of Bucks Media Services (BMS) in London.

Meanwhile, David Webb, formally director and general manager at Kodak, has been appointed as European sales director. Based in London, Webb will be responsible for driving sales strategy and volumes of the group.

I'm shocked to read about people giving beggars $5 and even more sometimes as if that's the normal amount to give. That must be an Indiana thing. I often give to homeless in Chicago, but never, ever more than 50 cents, usually less. In fact usually the homeless guys in Chicago ask for a quarter or 50 cents, never more. The most generous people will give a dollar, but if you give a dollar to a homeless guy he is shocked.

Planning for Sexual Assault Awareness Month has entered the second trimester, so to speak, as we are now counting down less than 6 months to April 2013. Whoa baby, the time is flying! On the backstage side of things, we are still in limbo with a number of deadlines leading up to the release of resource materials online and by mail in January. But there have been many planning milestones in recent weeks, and I'd like to provide a sneak peak on the topic of our upcoming campaign resources: Healthy childhood sexual development.
Healthy development is key to healthy sexuality!
Healthy sexuality is having the knowledge and power to express sexuality in ways that enrich one's life. Healthy sexuality is about understanding sexual development and how it impacts us on an emotional, social, cultural any physical level. In terms of preventing sexual violence, healthy sexuality is in many ways the ultimate vision. It represents attitudes and experiences that dismantle sexual violence.
Healthy ain't easy…
When we are talking about healthy sexual development, whether it's in the context of children, adolescents or adults there's one big piece we must keep in mind from the very start – individuals aren't that familiar with their own sexuality. A social code of silence around sex and sexuality is the backdrop to the limited scripts we are offered as developing / developed individuals. These scripts are perpetuated by culture and media that profit from hypersexualization and messages that are downright unhealthy.
There also isn't a lot of safe space for conversation whether you are a young adult with questions about your changing body or if you are middle-aged and trying to understand your sexuality and identity. Most of us have heard more messages about sex and sexuality from commercials, magazines and TV than from trained educators or trusted family and friends. The silence is impactful and pervasive – the standard American experience of sexuality is seriously lacking in knowledge and empowerment and both are key to healthy sexuality.
How do we assemble the pieces?
I'm a metaphorical thinker, so let's picture this: A package is dropped off on the door step of every home in the United States. The contents are a little different for every person, and it's difficult to know what to do with what's inside because there are no assembly instructions, no customer service numbers and not even a return address. Now some of us might live in a home or community where we might be able to find help and support in assembling our package, but for other's they'll have to figure it out all on their own and some prefer to put the box in the closet than deal with such a difficult task.
Yes, this package is a metaphor for one's sexual development, a process that is a unique and built in part of our experience as human beings. Assembling any package under these conditions would be difficult, but there are many additional barriers when it comes to healthy sexual development. The way our questions and experiences are responded to as we develop can be a source of empowerment and information or punishment and shame. It's clear that information, support and empowerment can offer a lot to promote healthy development but a culture of silence makes it difficult to seek out or offer that support. That is why SAAM 2013 campaign tools focus on equipping adults with accurate information on supporting healthy childhood sexual development.
Not only is fostering healthy childhood sexual development key to a lifetime's experience of healthy sexuality, but if we are talking about the basics, this knowledge is truly a staple of involving all adults in child sexual abuse prevention. That's why, we are once again saying: "It's time… to talk about it!"
