There have been many categories of guys at F1 grids. Some talented champions, ala Schumi, Alonso, Senna or Prost; some nice midfield runners, like Heidfeld or Salo. Some paydrivers, varying from carrying some talent (Diniz, Petrov), to only being in F1 for wallet reasons (Yoong, Rosset, Yamamoto). And some guys that, though setting excellent results in midfield cars, suddenly lose their ground when making the big move… which drivers would you set there? My go is mainly for Heinz-Harald Frentzen. I can't believe how he was closer to the championship at that 1999 Jordan (3rd-5th car on the grid), than to the dominant 1997 Williams with a Button-level teammate who won it.

Stefan Johansson, Jean Alesi (Ferrari), Derek Warwick (at Renault), Jochen Mass (Mc Laren) would come to mind and to a lesser extend Jarno Trulli with Toyota19th October 2010, 11:42 at 11:42 am #147641

Yeah this does happen to some drivers. Here are a few more:
o Fisichella – I always considered him as one of the best drivers on the grid while he was performing heroics in mediocre years in the late 90's/ early 00's. Then he moved to Renault and his reputation simply never recovered
o Barrichello – This might be disputable, as he went on to have a decent career when he moved to Ferrari. But given his form at Jordan and Stewart, he might have been expected to win championships rather than a handful of wins. And if it wasn't for the fact he was racing in the Schumacher era, he probably would have
o Montoya – He was very impressive at Williams but he rarely had a dominant car. He chose the perfect time to move to McLaren in 2005 when they had the best car in the field, but he was largely blown away by Raikkonen19th October 2010, 11:48 at 11:48 am #147642
I guess that some Autosport guy called this "The Fisichella syndrome" because the Italian was always seen as a very talented driver until he got in Renault 2005 next to Alonso… Anyway, Fisico has always been one of my favourite drivers.
I actually don't believe that there is a Frentzen syndrome. Guys like Frentzen, Fisichella and Kovalainen simply were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Fisichella came to Renault as Alonso already had spent there a couple of years and everybody expected him to be the next big champion. It is simply too hard for a good midfield performer to establish himself in a top team, which already has its own star driver. Williams had Villeneuve. Renault had Alonso. McLaren had (and still has) Hamilton. If McLaren had Schumacher in 2002, we would now probably be talking about "The Raikkonen syndrome"…19th October 2010, 12:03 at 12:03 pm #147643
I think more than anything else it shows the differance that cars make, not just on overall speed but how much differance the drivers cars take drivers depending on driver style. And the differance between a true champion and a guy who's got heroics in him once in a while.
Like Fisi, Spa 09 case in point. Wish he'd won that race.19th October 2010, 13:19 at 1:19 pm #147644
I wouldn't stick Alesi in the list. He may have gone to a big team but the cars he got were usually rubbish. He often performed heroics but was never given a chance at a title winning car unlike Fisi etc.
Fisi's the ultimate for me. He seemed to perform miracles at times and yet at Renault he didn't really achieve anything. Maybe he really revelled in the undrdog tag where people didn't expect much such as when he won at Malaysia after his friend died and when he was in rubbish teams. My favourite performance by him has to be Spa. He had a team mate who is touted as possibly one of the next big things while his career was on its home stretch and yet he stuck it on pole and challeneged for the win. I'm baffled as to why he just faded at Renault.
I'd agree with Rubens to some extent too.
There's also opposites like Button who needs a good car or Massa who (except Canada 05 and the other odd performance) never really shone until he got to Ferrari.19th October 2010, 14:12 at 2:12 pm #147645
I was quite a huge fan of Frentzen, and thought his performances during that 1999 season with Jordan were spectacular. Fisichella and Kovalainen both showed similar traits of driving their socks off for mid field teams, and then being below average when they got top drives. I just hope Kubica doesn't suffer from the Frentzen syndrome, cause he has shown some brilliance in Sauber 08 season, as well as the current season. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.19th October 2010, 15:41 at 3:41 pm #147646
If McLaren had Schumacher in 2002, we would now probably be talking about "The Raikkonen syndrome"…
Kimi came pretty darn close to signing for Ferrari as MSC's teammate in 2002, 5 years before he actually did move. :D
My favourite performance by him has to be Spa. He had a team mate who is touted as possibly one of the next big things while his career was on its home stretch and yet he stuck it on pole and challenged for the win. I'm baffled as to why he just faded at Renault.
Fisi loves Spa – he got 3rd in a rubbish Benetton there in 2001. That said, let's remember he won that debut Renault race (albeit with Alonso in 3rd in a great comeback). It seems that he does great when his teammate isn't quite pushing him hard, but when said teammate pressures him, he wilts.19th October 2010, 15:48 at 3:48 pm #147647
Juan Pablo HeidfeldParticipant
And the differance between a true champion and a guy who's got heroics in him once in a while.
Maybe people rated them as very good performers for dragging bad cars into the points sometimes, and they are the same at big teams, occaisionally putting in good performances.
Or maybe there was no pressure to perform at a small team, huge pressure at a big team.19th October 2010, 16:21 at 4:21 pm #147648
I think there is another way of looking at this thread – that some drivers (Schumacher, Alonso etc) were driver killers. i.e. they are and were so good that they effectively ended the careers of those who came to challenge them. It doesn't really matter about the reasons why, they were often just out raced. Alonso has done it again to Massa this year.
Frentzen is a bit of an anomaly though, as Villeneuve would hardly be classified as a driver killer so to speak. I've heard reasons that it was something to do with a falling out with Patrick Head but i'm not entirely sure about that.19th October 2010, 21:21 at 9:21 pm #147649
I always liked Frentzen, but there's a serious flaw in your logic. "I can't believe how he was closer to the championship at that 1999 Jordan (3rd-5th car on the grid), than to the dominant 1997 Williams with a Button-level teammate who won it." When Viulleneuve was at the top of his game he was a very, very fast racer. He went down the tubes later with some mega-bad choices, but that's a whole other story. I'm always surprised how people underrate his championship.20th October 2010, 16:35 at 4:35 pm #147650
Mostly because he seemed to practically reverse into it? He shouldn't have even had a challenger that year.
I'm wondering if Kubica might be the next Frentzen or Fisichella. Probably not though.20th October 2010, 20:34 at 8:34 pm #147651
"Mostly because he seemed to practically reverse into it?"
Whoa there… I'm looking at the numbers here and I see 9 pole positions, 7 victories against 5 retirements and a disqualification. In his second year in the sport. I don't know, it doesn't seem too shabby to me.
Anyhoo, my point was that maybe Frentzen couldn't match Villeneuve because Villeneuve was plain good back then.20th October 2010, 21:47 at 9:47 pm #147652
I don't believe Kubica will fall into the category… he beat heidfeld and he's leading the renault team. He has a great image with many influential people in formula 1 too through his performances so I don't believe there's any chance of it.21st October 2010, 0:10 at 12:10 am #147653
Fer no.65Participant
I think the best example is Fisico.
He's a clear case of "wrong place at wrong time". He was a Jordan, did well, but left just before they became winners. He went to Benetton, which was already going down with those outdated Mecachrome engines. Stayed there and left just as Renault bought took over the team, going back to Jordan which had already passed their golden era.
Went to Sauber, did good, then Renault. His biggest chance, a championship winning car. But he was already 32 by then. And he had a much much better team mate.
Frentzen did better with Williams than Fisi with Renault. Im a Fisi fan myself and I reckon i was extremely dissapointed with his performances most of the time!

Two 'friends' charged with Brownsville teen's death
Tue, 06 Sep 2011 16:51:24 GMT —
Two Brownsville teens are now charged with the shooting death of a friend and are behind bars under $1 million dollar bonds.
Brownsville police arrested 17-year-old Roberto Ortega and 17-year-old Eric Hernandez for the death of their friend Jose Francisco Araujo.
Investigators told Action 4 News that the pair shot 17-year-old Araujo.
The teen's family reported him missing and discovered his body in a wooded area off Wild Rose Lane on Sunday.
Police believe Ortega was the shooter but a motive remains unclear.
Investigators told Action 4 News that they are investigating all possibilities, including one that the shooting may have been connected to Mexican drug cartels.
Each teen appeared before a Brownsville municipal judge on Tuesday where they were each given a $1 million dollar bonds.
Police said the two teens arrested are cooperating and that the investigation is still ongoing.

What Would Elvis + Other Rock + Roll Stars Look Like Today If They Were Still Alive? [PICTURES]
This could very well be one of my friend's fathers. But it's not.
It's the King himself…if Elvis were alive today, according to an artist rendering.
It's so sad to think back to those incredible talents that we lost far too soon…from John Lennon to Jim Morrison to Karen Carpenter. The renderings are pretty remarkable.
Janis Joplin would look like every next-door neighbor…

This past week in Michigan, the state Senate held a hearing on H.B. 5002, an anti-workers bill that would undermine workers' compensation by creating unnecessary obstacles for injured Michigan workers who seek compensation for work-related injuries. If passed, the bill would significantly reduce compensation payments, restrict injured workers' right to select their own health-care providers, and completely eliminate undocumented workers' benefits.
According to AFL-CIO Field Commutations staffer Cathy Sherwin, the Senate hearing room was jam-packed with opponents of the bill. Many of these opponents emphasized the irrationality of the bill's proposed formula for computing compensation payments and described its potential harm on Michigan workers. The formula involves subtracting "imaginary" wages—the amount the worker might be able to earn—and pensions from the worker's compensation payment, regardless of whether the worker has retired or whether another job is available. In support of the H.B. 5002, corporations and interest groups were present at the hearing. The bill, which passed in the state House, is yet another manifestation of the attack on Michigan workers, reaching a new low by targeting injured workers who are hurt on the job through no fault of their own

On an episode of Fast Food My Way, he and Claudia made a very quick 'bread'. 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 cup of water, salt to taste and 1/4 tsp of baking soda (or was it powder?) and some olive oil. Then cooked it covered in a non-stick pan coated with olive oil with a tablespoon or two of water poured around the edges.
My first attempt was in a 12" pan (couldn't really tell what size he had). Too big. The bread was too thin and I actually undercooked it. Second attempt was a 10". Better, but kind of bland really. Third attempt last night I added a tablesppon or two of chopeed fresh rosemary and one medium crushed garlic clove. Cooked 8 minutes on first side and 7 on the second. It was wonderful. The wife and kids declared it a big hit. From start to finish, 20 minutes.
Anyone else tried this? What's your variation. I would imagine other herbs or green onions might be good in it.

California Marriage Victory
BY Tom Hoopes
| Posted 5/26/09 at 3:49 PM
Proposition 8 stands. The California Supreme Court has generously allowed the voters to protect marriage's definition in the state. That makes two weeks in a row of good news for marriage.
The court insists, though, that the state's 18,000 new homosexual "marriages" since last spring also stand.
Marriage activists were expecting this decision, Peter Wolfgang of the Family Institute of Connecticut told me. The court knew that to decide otherwise would have been a disaster for California,
"Essentially," he said, "even a court as crazy as the Supreme Court of California isn't that crazy, that they would directly negate the will of the people expressed in opposition to that very court."
If the decision had gone the other way, it would have been the end of the initiative system in California, said Wolfgang. Direct initiative has been a cornerstone of the democratic accountability in California since 1978, when Proposition 13's "taxpayer revolt" was successful.
"If the court had gone the other way," said Wolfgang, "they would have been saying definitively that the state of California is a polity ruled by judges, not by the people. If you don't even have the right to overturn your state Supreme Court—if you don't even have that remedy—that really and truly is the end of democracy."
If opponents can stop a constitutional amendment on a technicality, then we really are a nation ruled by judges.
"Even a court so crazy that it doesn't understand that marriage is between a man and a woman isn't that crazy that they will overturn representative government altogether," said Wolfgang.
He also didn't despair about the 18,000 homosexual couplings that remain "marriages."
"It doesn't take away from the fact that marriage and truth and the people of California won a major victory last November," he said.

The Amish are coming! The Amish are coming! To Colorado, that is:
"The reason we moved out West is the farm land is a little bit cheaper and it's not as heavily populated, a little more open space and a little more opportunity for young people to get started with their own farms," said Ben Coblentz, a 47-year-old alfalfa farmer from Indiana.
"The general public seems to have a little slower pace of life than what it was back East. Everybody here respects us."
Of an estimated 231,000 Amish nationwide, more than 60 percent still live in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana.
But from 2002 to 2008, Colorado's Amish population went from zero to more than 400, according to the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Pennsylvania's Elizabethtown College.
The headline of the Denver Post article is "Colo. land prices luring Amish," and it states that "Cropland is worth an average $1,400 per acre in Colorado, compared with $6,000 in Pennsylvania and about $4,000 in Ohio and Indiana, according to a 2007 census by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Cropland values jumped 17 percent from 2006 to 2007 in Pennsylvania, but only 6 percent in Colorado."
Uhm, has anyone explained to them exactly why land in the San Luis Valley is so much cheaper than in the East? Because it doesn't include water rights! Unlike Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, where it rains on a regular basis in the warm months, irrigation is mandatory, not optional. And whereas Eastern landowners have "riparian rights" to any bodies of water that border or flow through land they own, every drop of water in Colorado is already encumbered and owned by someone else. Yes, if you spit in the street, someone else owns the rights to your spit:
The early miners are credited with finding a solution to the problem. By custom, they all accepted the fact that the first miner who used water from a stream to work a placer claim was protected against latecomers. Soon this custom expanded to include the use of water for all purposes, not just for mining. Finally, as the land was organized into territories and then into states, the custom became law through express recognition by court decisions, constitutional provisions, and state statutes.
. . . . . . . . .
Under appropriation doctrine, the oldest rights prevail. The earliest water users have priority over later appropriators during times of water shortage. Another fundamental philosophy expressed in western water law is that public waters must be used for a useful or beneficial purpose. The appropriator can use only the amount of water presently needed, allowing excess water to remain in the stream. Once the water has served its beneficial use, any waste or return flow must be returned to the stream.
Yep–them what got here firstest got the mostest, and they get dibs in a drought, too, under this "appropriation system" of allocating water rights. So in addition to buying land, which may appear cheap, one must purchase water rights from someone else, and water rights are hard to come by. Western water law is more difficult, intricate, and arbitrary than Canon law, and makes Chicago politics look transparent and fair by comparison.
I wish all new Colorado farmers the best of luck. It will be interesting to learn how Amish farm families decide to adapt to the High Plains Desert.

BONNIE LYNN FIELDS, Disney MOUSEKETEER has died at 68.
Bonnie, a heavy smoker earlier in her life, was diagnosed with throat cancer two years ago.
The South Carolina native was 12 when she was offered a slot on "The Mickey Mouse Club," a Disney anthology which launched the careers of Annette Funicello and others.
"Bonnie had a ballet line through everything she did. She was a lithe ballerina type. And she was light," Mouseketeer Lonnnie Burr recalled.
As a Mouseketeer, Bonnie followed an intense schedule which, she told the Indiana newspaper in 2006, consisted of "three hours of school, one hour of recreation, one hour for lunch and four hours on the set."
The cast's activities were strictly monitored by a man she called "the stopwatch guy," later 1970s Disney kingpin Ron Miller.
After leaving the "Mickey Mouse Club," Fields performed in live shows at Disneyland and appeared in the TV serials "The New Adventures of Spin and Marty" starring Tim Considine and Tommy Kirk and "Annette," which featured the ever-popular Annnette Funicello.
She also appeared in a New York City Ballet production of the "Nutcracker Suite" at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and performed on Broadway in the mid-1960s in "Kelly" and "Half a Sixpence" and had small parts in the films "Sweet Charity," "Bye Bye Birdie" and "Funny Girl."
In 1980 she returned to Disneyland to take part in Mouseketeer reunion shows with Burr, Cubby O'Brien, Tommy Cole and Sharon Baird.

A Perfect Storm in Chapel Hill for North Carolina Tar HeelsFebruary 17, 2010
Much has been made of the demise of my beloved Tar Heels. For the most part, I have remained quiet while the "haters" have had their fun.
I admit the the Heels' fall from grace has been ugly. Each time I think they have hit rock bottom, they have gone even deeper. Last night's blowout loss to Georgia Tech was no different. Last I heard, Marcus Ginyard rolled his ankle and never returned to the game. Pretty tough to win a game when your best players are sitting in suits on the bench.
That being said, this has been a year like none I have ever seen. I don't think anyone saw this coming. Even the preseason polls had the Heels picked anywhere from fourth to sixth (which was WAY off, by the way).
What you have in Chapel Hill is a perfect storm of sorts. No team, I repeat, NO TEAM can lose four starters and five of your top scorers and return the next year just as strong. Even in North Carolina. That was problem No. 1.
Problem No. 2 is that the talent that came in this year was overrated and has underachieved. Short of a recent flash of strong play, John Henson has been the biggest disappointment.
We all knew he would need to bulk up, but this guy started the first few games this year. It was quickly obvious that he was going to need some work. Will be a great player? Yes. By his junior year, he will be a beast in the ACC. Dexter Strickland has blazing speed but has been unable to run the offense. The Wear brothers are both giving what was expected and have been a nice surprise.
Problem No. 3 is that the "Bigs" have been anything but. A majority of the issues on the inside come from the guards' inability to get the ball to the post. The best opportunity to score for this team comes from Ed Davis, Deon Thompson, and Tyler Zellar (when healthy).
All too often, the ball never reaches the paint without being turned over on the perimeter. Teams are packing it in and daring the guards to make something happen. Deon Thompson has NEVER played well when the ACC rolled around. I thought he would step that up this year now that "No. 50″ is gone, but he has not.
Problem No. 4 is injuries. All teams deal with injuries so I won't go on and on about it here. I'm just saying that the Heels have had their share of them this year. When you add it to the list above, it doesn't help matters much. Tough to win when your top talent is wearing a suit.
Add it all together and you have a perfect storm in Chapel Hill. It's tough to watch but there is a big old bright spot on the horizon. I'm willing to weather the storm this year because I know what will happen next year. For those that hate the Heels, enjoy this brief moment of failure. This will not last long.
Next year the Heels welcome three McDonald's All-Americans. One of the three is the top-ranked high school player in America. We will welcome in the Harrison Barnes era in "The Hill" by returning to NCAA glory.
Get the wins against Carolina now. Enjoy them while they last. 2010 will be a blip on the radar and a year that teams top to bottom in the ACC will wish they could go back to. Count on it.

While the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is best known to most Americans for its domestic waterworks and disaster relief efforts, it has always had a primary mission to support the U.S. Army and the nation around the globe. A significant part of that is providing technical assistance overseas on behalf, and at the invitation, of non-Department of Defense (DoD) federal agencies, international organizations, and foreign governments through Interagency and International Services (IIS).
Total IIS services to more than 70 federal customers alone have exceeded $2 billion per annum in recent years, plus a roughly equivalent amount on DoD international projects – most funded on a reimbursable basis. Those services include engineering and construction, environmental restoration and management, research and development (R&D) assistance, water- and land-related natural resource management, and relief and recovery work.
"The nation principally is represented by State [Department] and USAID [U.S. Agency for International Development], so those are our chief clients in the international domain," IIS Chief Jim Balocki said. "The people we send downrange are linked into centers of expertise. So if they go in to help in one area but find another problem on which they are not experts, we maintain a virtual capability to provide them with the technical expertise they need with just a phone call.
"We also work with the Millennium Challenge Corporation, which does development work overseas, and are now engaging with the World Bank on a limited basis in some areas. That is at the behest and clearance of state and synchronized as part of our nation's national security and diplomatic strategy. If another agency had a project overseas and needed support in our core competencies, we also would and could partner with them as part of a 'whole of government' effort."
The nations in and with which IIS works, as well as the requesting agencies, range from habitual relationships on an annual basis to once-in-a-decade events. Those include some of the nation's oldest and closest allies, as well as some with a complicated past, present, and future, such as Vietnam, Russia, and China.
Vietnam involves an international effort to oversee development of the lower Mekong River and multiple requests through the State Department for USACE to provide technical modeling and other consultations. At the same time, IIS provided support to the government of New Zealand after an earthquake that affected the capital city of Christchurch. According to Balocki, there is not a standing mission to respond whenever an earthquake hits, but New Zealand became a one-off response when the government requested post-quake technical help on understanding structural stability.
"We send teams into a country to provide a technical assessment of the problem or do workshops with host-nation organizations and local authorities, all coordinated with our State Department or USAID partners to meet a particular requirement," IIS Deputy Chief Lindy Wolner said. "We do dozens of those around the world each year. For example, we currently are working with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation on a flood mitigation problem in Australia, providing technical expertise to support Australia's request.
"Another country where a growing relationship has developed in the past 10 years or so is China, which is developing at a very rapid pace and has a huge infrastructure and challenge regarding water resources. Through our Civil Works Program, we have a lot of experience in those areas in the U.S., so there is benefit to both sides in a technical exchange. They are developing at a pace and size we cannot imagine, but we have a lot of expertise in transboundary issues with Canada and the development of remote resources."
USACE also has been involved with post-Soviet Russia, primarily with respect to the U.S.-Russia chemical demilitarization effort and technology challenges the United States overcame in its own demilitarization program. That applies even more broadly with former members of the Soviet Bloc, many now members of NATO, and some now-independent Soviet republics.
Every relationship USACE develops overseas comes with its own special needs.
"Each case is unique. New Zealand, for example, clearly was a one-way dialogue. We really don't use that as a grading criterion – we look at where we can add value, provide solutions, and be able to help develop and enable, within our core competencies," Balocki said.
"I would describe the relationship with China as being as purely apolitical as it can get, based entirely on technical exchange and mutual benefit to learning about the practices and challenges for both parties. Some of those are similar to what we did in developing the U.S. West in the past century, so we have a body of lessons learned. But they also have experience in areas we have not seen. So it all is sort of separate from military considerations between the two nations – although still related."

After Seeing This, You're Going to Want to Skip Black Friday [VIDEO]
One of the busiest shopping days of the year is upon us. I will be skipping it due to the fact that my hatred for mankind outweighs my love of stuff. After seeing this, you're probably going to want to skip it, too.
Black Friday: Because only in America will we stab each other for cheap crap we don't need one day after giving thanks for everything we have. Stay home and stay inside. It's warm, there's a free bathroom you don't have to stand in line to use and you don't even have to put on pants. Also, you won't get trampled to death. It happens and people die. A cheap TV is not that important.

Blue snowball mic and windows 7?
After searching through the web for a fair few hours I found that many people had got their mic working with windows 7 yet there was no driver or firmware update available to download.
I managed to find a firmware update although this stopped part way through demanding administrator rights which I gave it but it still wouldn't work :L
I'm using the new macbook pro with retina display if that helps with motherboard compatibility.
If anybody has a blue snowball I would really appreciate a download link to the driver you are using
Thanks in advance
Select the USB mic, or Snowball Mic (it might be named something else) as the default device.
Each time I delete the driver and replug the snowball still reports that the driver failed to install, therefore it can't be shown in the sound settings page.
Thanks for having a go though, much appreciated :)
I'm having the same trouble. Were you able to find a solution, by any chance?

A DENTAL hygienist can almost see the finish line of her 500-mile walk.
Christina Chatfield will finish 500 Miles for Smiles on June 19 at the Big Beach Café in Hove after starting at Kirriemuir in Scotland.
After starting the walk on May 19, Thursday will mark the end of an incredible month for Christina, who is raising cash and awareness for mouth cancer.
Ms Chatfield said: "The support of my fellow professionals has been extremely heart warming.
"Even though I am suffering from shin splints, I am less than 40 miles away from Brighton, which seems like not a lot given how far I have come."
Ms Chatfield has currently raised more than £10,000 for the British Dental Health Foundation and hopes to raise £15,000 by the time she reaches Hove.
She said: "The more money I can raise. The more people we can help to educate about the disease and the risk factors."
Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, said: "She has walked more than 400 miles so far, so let's have one final push to get Christina over the £15,000 mark.
"It would be a fantastic achievement and reflects the spirit and support of the dental profession, not to mention everyone who joined her or contributed."
Ms Chatfield is a dental hygienist and owns Brighton Dental Health Spa on Queens Road in Brighton.

GJ woman missing
Grand Junction Police are seeking information about the whereabouts of a Grand Junction woman who has been missing since last Friday.
Andrea Thinelk, 27, was last seen at Walmart, 2881 North Ave, where she cashed a check, according to the Grand Junction Police Department. Thinelk told her roommate she planned to buy bus tickets to South Dakota for herself and her daughter. Friends and family say it is suspicious that Thinelk would leave behind her daughter with her roommate for this long without telling her roommate where she is.
Thinelk is an American Indian, 5-feet 8-inches tall, weighs 190 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes. Anyone who has seen her recently should call the police department at 242-6707.

Uihlein more than holding own
Oklahoma State junior Peter Uihlein just wanted to see how his game stacked up against the pros this week at the Transitions Championship.
And early reports are very favorable as the reigning U.S. Amateur champ has played his first nine holes at the Copperhead Course in 2 under. He's among 15 players tied for 12th, four strokes off the pace being set by Nick Watney.
Uihlein, the No. 1 ranked amateur in the country, started on the back nine and promptly rolled in a 15-footer for birdie at the par-5 11th. The 21-year-old added a 12-footer for birdie at the 18th hole.
"I feel like my game is pretty good coming into it, playing okay, and just to try and have some fun and enjoy it and really not have that much expectations," Uihlein had said Wednesday prior to his first-round date with Chris Kirk and Tommy Gainey.
Uihlein, whose father Wally is the CEO of the Acushnet Company, will play in the Masters next month thanks to his win at last year's Amateur. Among his playing partners there will be Phil Mickelson, the defending and three-time Masters champ.

Highway 22 north of Killdeer closed due to weather
The North Dakota Highway Patrol has closed a portion of North Dakota State Highway 22 north of Killdeer because semitrucks have been having trouble navigating the hills in the Killdeer Mountains due to the snow, Sgt. Dan Haugen said.
"We clear one out and then another one just gets stuck," Haugen said.
Haugen expects the shutdown to last as long as it keeps snowing.
The trouble spot is around mile marker 126 at the large hill north of the bridge, Haugen said. Travel on either side of the Killdeer Mountains is still allowed.
"The problem isn't really vehicles sliding in the ditch, it's just them getting stuck on the highway," Haugen said. "Then they block the highway."

Rays talking with Peralta, no deal yet
The Rays have been talking with free-agent RHP Joel Peralta about a new contract, but Twitter reports out of the Dominican Republic of a two-year, $6-million deal with a $2.5-million option for 2015 are premature.
Peralta, who turns 37 in March, has been the Rays primary set up man the past two seasons, working 71 games in 2011 and 76 in 2012. Last season he was 2-6 with two saves and a 3.63 ERA. He also was suspended eight games when umpires found excessive pine tar in his glove during a June game in Washington.
Peralta said at the end of the season he wanted very much to return to the Rays.

"Economists may seem soulless, unlikely guides to affairs of the heart," writes Robert Frank in a recent Times review. But talking about love in the language of business is hip right now — and more often than not, this trend makes women out to be the losers. The result can be more than a little patronizing.
Sociologist Mark Regnerus made a splash in 2011 with his argument about the "price of sex" — basically, that with the normalization of premarital sex, men no longer want to "pay" for it with commitment. Ross Douthat, too, has frequently taken a quasi-economic view of human relationships, as when he warned that the sheer availability of abortion might be making men less likely to stick around and raise their kids.
And now there's Frank, who in a glowing review of economist Marina Adshade's forthcoming Dollars and Sex argues that the availability of contraception has made casual sex possible, and thus led to a world where all young people feel pressured to have casual sex. He even sees this as an argument for banning birth control entirely: "Proponents of a ban may just want teenagers to grow up in an environment where they aren't expected to sleep with the first classmate who hits on them."
Frank stops short of calling for such a ban (it would "cause enormous harm," he says), but the argument is clear — the advances that have made sex without pregnancy possible have come at a high cost for young people, especially women (his review is itself titled, "In the Quest for Love, Costs vs. Benefits"). One of his main takeaways from Dollars: "the committed relationships of yore have largely given way to a hookup culture that many women view as highly stressful." The implication, popular in such economic arguments, is that while women might think they want sexual and reproductive freedom, the expert is here to tell them they'd be better off without it.
It's a little cold to evaluate human love and lust in economic terms, but cost-benefit analyses have an undeniable appeal. There's no reason why we shouldn't try to look in a clear-eyed way at what the cultural changes of the last fifty years have brought us, and what they've taken away.
But analyses that do this tend to weirdly elide the former in favor of the latter. Dollars doesn't come out til April; it may expand upon the "stressful" nature of hookup culture today. But that would make it an outlier. Most discussions of the way sex works among young people in America tend to find women who are stressed or upset about some aspect of their sex lives and stop there, assuming that the system is irrevocably broken and we should go back to a time when, in Frank's words, "a man couldn't win an extended conversation with a woman without inviting her out to dinner."
One of the few to consider the possible upsides of decoupling sex with compulsory dinner (and marriage, baby carriage, etc) has been Hanna Rosin. For her book The End of Men, she talked to college women and heard the familiar anxieties about uncertain relationships and the end of traditional dating. But then she went a step further and asked the girls "might they prefer the mores of an earlier age, with formal dating and slightly more obvious rules?" The result: "This question, each time, prompted a look of horror."
What Rosin found is that while a culture where you don't have to marry the first person you have sex with may have some downsides, it also has big benefits: "over the long run, women benefit greatly from living in a world where they can have sexual adventure without commitment or all that much shame, and where they can enter into temporary relationships that don't get in the way of future success."
Or, to get down even closer to brass tacks, women today with access to reliable contraception (which isn't every woman) can have sex without then also caring for a child. To ignore this very basic change in how women live their lives, and all that comes with it — ability, for instance, to plan a career or achieve financial independence — is to put a pretty heavy thumb on the cost-benefit scale.
As sexual mores, habits, and yes, technology change, it makes sense to think about what these changes are doing to our lives. But amid the vogue for looking at what readily available contraception and normalized premarital sex have taken from women's lives, many commentators have lost sight of what they've given.

Berlin: It is a measure of a people's, of an institution's, of an audience's astounding commitment to cinema. Deepa Dhanraj's Kya Hua Is Shehar Ko? (What Happened to This City?), made in 1986, was shown at the 63rd Berlin Film Festival here. It is a historic, prescient film on the Hindu-Muslim riots in Hyderabad in 1984—and it was a sold-out show. How many international film festivals in India could boast of a sold-out show of an archival political documentary from, say, Brazil or Rwanda or Indonesia? That too, made a thoughtful, sensitive, activist filmmaker, rather than an all-guns-blazing Michael Moore type?
What's more, Dhanraj's documentary was specially restored and digitized by the Living Archive Project of the Arsenal Institute for Film and Video Art in Berlin. Its first screening was in the Berlin Film Festival's International Forum of New Cinema ("Forum") section in 1988. It was presented and re-screened this year by the Forum and Forum Expanded: the Forum, headed by Christoph Terhechte, is the more experimental, cutting edge section of the festival, while Forum Expanded, headed by Stefanie Schulte Strathaus, explores the relation between film and other media and environments. It speaks of the Arsenal's vision that it would restore and showcase an Indian political documentary made 27 years ago. It believes that the issues of Hindu-Muslim relations and marginalization that the film addresses, are as relevant as ever.
Kya Hua Is Shehar Ko? was one of three Indian documentaries shown in the Forum this year, along with Sourav Sarangi's Moddhikhane…Char (Char..No Man's Island) and Fahad Mustafa and Deepti Kakkar's Powerless. Dhanraj is an award-winning filmmaker who has been actively involved with the women's movement since 1980, including the Yugantar film collective. She has a powerful body of films, mostly documentaries, on a range of issues, including population and reproductive rights, women's rights, communal issues, education, poverty and justice. These include Something Like a War, The Legacy of Malthus, Sudesha, The Advocate and Invoking Justice. Her films have been instruments of her activist work, as well as been selected at film festivals.
Kya Hua is Shehar Ko? was shot during the Hindu-Muslim riots of Hyderabad in 1984. It analyses the reasons they occurred and gives a voice to both sides, including the hate speeches of Hindu and Muslim leaders demonizing the other community. It observes the police inaction during the savagery, and also connects the causes and aftermath of the riots to deeper issues of poverty, marginalization and real estate politics, with a thundering, didactic poem in the climax.
"It is an intense experience seeing the film after 27 years," Dhanraj said at the Berlin screening. "It's like meeting a younger version of the film. This film was prophetic in addressing the rise of Indian fascist politics. You see the formation of the fundamentalist Hindu and Muslim identities in Hyderabad in 1984 when the film was shot—and by the 1990s, the Hindutva national project was complete. In 1992, the Babri Masjid was demolished, and in 2002, over 2,000 Muslims were killed in Gujarat by Hindu mobs. We intuitively saw this when making the film, but we couldn't yet see what the Hindutva agenda would eventually become." Hyderabad Ekta, founded by Keshavrao Jadhav, to work on communal harmony, held many screenings of the film in Hyderabad's Old City, largely a Muslim ghetto. "The communities are so polarised, it was also important for victims from both communities to know the others' sufferings. The film became a bridge between the two communities," she explained.
The film's subject is more keenly relevant than ever, even though Dhanraj admits she has doubts about its editing and her film smarts at the time. N.T. Rama Rao of the Telugu Desam Party was deposed as Andhra Pradesh chief minister when the riots occurred, and a character in the film comments that the Congress was, in fact, the puppeteer that engineered the riots. "Mr Sultan Owaisi, leader of the Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen party, who appears in the film, has passed away, but his son Akbaruddin Owaisi was arrested recently for making hate speeches," Dhanraj said. "He still evokes, as his father did, the 'lost glory of the Muslims', as if all the Muslims were once nawabs, when in fact, the majority of them were very poor."
The film also explores the long-term economic impact of the riots. "For casual labourers, even 20 days' curfew can mean a slide into destitution, and it can take years of indebtedness to recover from it. Hyderabad's New City is part of the global economy through its IT revolution," she said. "But the Old City has remains unchanged—it is still a money order economy, with labour migrating to the Gulf and Malaysia, but even this has been drying up." According to film curator Nicole Wolf, who presented the film in Berlin, the Indian embassy tried to block the 1988 screening in Berlin, but the film was shown nonetheless.
Many other Indian filmmakers have subsequently addressed communal issues, including Anand Patwardhan's Ram ke Naam, Rakesh Sharma's Final Solution (which premiered at the Berlin film festival), Madhusree Dutta's I Live in Behrampada, Suma Josson's Bombay's Blood Yatra, and Remembering 1992 by Anjali Monteiro and KP Jayasankar's students at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences in 2012, the twentieth anniversary of the Mumbai riots. Fiction features on the subject include Zakhm, Fiza and Black Friday. Films apart, there are concerns about the growing nationwide media campaign supporting Narendra Modi—the chief minister of Gujarat during the 2002 riots—as India's next prime minister. Is she hopeful of the next generation? "I believe that the next generation will continue to address these issues," Dhanraj said. "In 1984 we were trying to make an inquiry into the reasons for the riots legitimate and visible. It is such a big elephant in the room, how can the next generation ignore it?"
Dhanraj's recent work continues to reflect her long-standing feminist concerns. In fact, there has been a spate of recent films on female Indian leaders, including Kim Longinotto's Pink Saris and Nishtha Jain's Gulabi Gang, both about female vigilante Sampat Pal. There's also Longinotto's Salma, shown in Berlin's Panorama section this year, on a Tamilian Muslim woman, who was confined to her home for over a decade by her conservative family, but eventually becomes a published poet. Dhanraj's own documentary Invoking Justice (2011) is on the revolutionary Tamil Nadu Muslim Women's Jamaat, a court that delivers justice. It was established by Sharifa Khanam in Pudukottai, Tamil Nadu, in 2004, and offers a powerful beacon of hope.
"I haven't seen all the other films, so I don't want to comment on them or their subjects," Dhanraj said. "But the Muslim women's jamaat has the law and police on its side, it is morally sound and has a sustainable approach. They want justice through a Muslim institution, so the men find it very threatening. And that is why it is so explosive."

AMSTERDAM (Jul. 5)
Three men were arrested in Het Gooi, 25 kilometers from here, for attacking the house of Dutch Jewish journalist Hans Knoop last month with Molotov cocktails. Knoop was instrumental in the arrest and trial several years ago of Dutch Nazi collaborator Pieter Menten who was subsequently convicted of complicity in the murder of Jews while serving with the SS in Poland during World War II.
The men arrested are also suspected in similar attacks on the house of a Protestant member of Parliament and on the anti-left Dutch broadcasting company, "Tros. " They were identified as members of a group calling itself "Red Action Front Netherlands."

Picture: 'The Sopranos' producers 2008 Producers Guild Awards - Pressroom - held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel Los Angeles, California - 02.02.08
Stars of TV hit The Sopranos are calling on its creator to bring the show back from the dead. The series bowed out last year (07) after an extended sixth season, but fans are desperate for more - and the actors are keen to come back too. Speaking at the launch of actress Lorraine Bracco's new wine, a number of castmembers called on creator David Chase to bring The Sopranos back for another season or a movie. Bracco, who played psychologist Jennifer Melfi, said, "I would love it. I'm up for it. Call me." Dominic Chianese, who played ageing mob boss Uncle Junior, added, "I'd be game. Uncle Junior cold jump out of his wheelchair." But Michael Imperioli - mobster Christopher Moltisante - isn't expecting any more Sopranos: "I think we're done. I think we had our day, unless David Chase comes up with something great."

"WHIN helped expand my entrepreneurial capacity and thus improve my quality of life"
Ikkuru village, NarasaraopetaIndia
Mr Anjaiah has a petty shop at Ikkuru Village where he sells miscellaneous items for a living. Initially, he admitted his child in a government school, but because he would have to go into town to buy the items for his shop, he was unable to drop his child to school regularly. As a result, his studies suffered.
On partnering with WHIN, he now sells 1/2 and 1 liter bottles of Dr. Water to travelers, auto drivers and the likes. With these booming water sales, Anjaiah was able to reinvest in and expand his business. This has enabled him to reduce his visits to town. He now has the time to drop his son to school. More importantly, he has generated enough disposable income to enroll his son in a much better private, English medium school.

In these pages, we continue our look inside significant Mid-Century Modern homes in St. Louis, the focus of a recent house tour to benefit the Sheldon Art Galleries. Last week, we focused on the Bernoudy-designed Horan home in Town & Country. This week, we visit the other two properties featured on the tour.
The Cohen residence was designed in 1956 by Isadore Shank, whose architectural career spanned 65 years from 1927 through 1992. Born in 1902 in St. Louis to immigrant Russian parents, Shank studied at Washington University School of Architecture, but rejected the school's Beaux Arts emphasis in favor of a more modern approach to design, according to local architect Andrew Raimist, who conducted detailed researched on all three properties featured on the tour.
The Mid-Century Modern Cohen residence was constructed in a small Westwood community adjacent to Westwood Country Club and is one of two Shank-designed homes on the street. The house is noteworthy for a variety of reasons, including the basic palette of materials, which incorporates brick masonry, heavy timber and large expanses of glazing. The overall composition hugs the ground and appears to be a one-story structure from the street. Extremely strong horizontal lines define the house inside and out. A freestanding, perforated brick masonry wall provides visual privacy from the public street, while a second brick masonry wall connects to the home's façade and provides a screen for the carport hidden behind it. Together, the two walls establish a rhythm of rectangular forms that recur throughout the home. From these simple geometric shapes, Raimist notes that Shank was able to develop a richly textured and nuanced composition that has a painterly sense of abstraction and visually compresses space when viewed from the street. Moreover, the composition of this structure recalls other Shank homes, in that it displays sensitive attention to the need of privacy for the occupants while at the same time incorporating a great deal of glass.
The third home on the Sheldon's Mid-Century Modern Architecture tour is located in Warson Woods and was designed in 1956 by Paul Rudolph as a model home for Women's Home Companion magazine. Rudolph was a prolific architect and educator, who studied with Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and went on to become chairman of the School of Architecture at Yale University from 1958 to 1965, where he built his most famous and controversial work, the Art and Architecture Building.
The home that Rudolph designed in St. Louis was derived from a series of residences that he originally developed in Florida during the 1950s, according to Raimist. The design was adapted to suit the climate and culture of the Midwest. For example, in place of a swimming pool, Rudolph allowed for a generous garden space, which creates a lush centerpiece in front of the main façade. Formal symmetry and clear architectural order are evident throughout the house, but are rendered as an abstraction of the prototypical gable found in classic American residential architecture.
Rudolph was a master at using abstract forms as a starting point in his designs, from which he developed contrapuntal rhythms in a departure from strict adherence to the typology, according to Raimist.

"Cricket is an art. Like all arts it has a technical foundation. To enjoy it does not require technical knowledge, but analysis that is not technically based is mere impressionism."
- C.L.R. James
Lol at Shastri using 'bloody' and 'damn'. How professional. His rant was hilarious though, pity they didn't fight more in the commentary box.
Shastri is involved with the BCCI and on the IPL governing council so no surprise this comment came from him.
Nasser wafg
Batsman I tolerate: V. Richards, S. Tendulkar, E. Morgan, N. Hussain. KEVIN O F******* BRIEN
If commentators spouted off like that every game it would get boring quickly, but every once in a while makes for hilarious viewing. It takes a certain kind of foolish courage to act like an arsehole on live TV. I almost respect it.
I find the constant descriptions of Tim Bresnan as a hard working toiler (mainly occurred a few years ago tbf) when he's an attacking bowler, or Ian Chappell saying Ross Taylor scored all his test centuries against Bangladesh during our last tour of Australia, or Tony Grieg saying Hamish Bennett was a medium pacer, far more offensive than an obviously passionate yet misguided idiot saying what he thinks.
Not doing your research and relying on cliches or plain making things up incenses me, because I could do that for far less coin. Shahstri has put some semblance of thought into his opinion, and he backs it to the hilt. I like that in my commentators, even if they do fall on the wtflolbbq end of the scale.
I want him down here next time India tour commentating alongside Crowe and I demand green pitches this time, not roads flatter than Paris Hilton. Recipe for entertainment.
Embarrassing stuff. Lost a lot of respect for Shastri there and gained some for Nasser.
Never had a high opinion of Shastri anyway so this is probably expected. Agree with those that find Bhogle annoying as well. Honestly, I dont even know what it is but that guy deserves a pie in the face or something.
On another note, echoing the thoughts on Ganguly's commentating. Actually like him more as a commentator than a player. I'm fairly partial to Gavaskar despite all the rubbish he says, but thats only because I liked him as a player though.
"I will go down as Darren Sammy, the one who always smiles" - Darren Sammy
Wow! Never saw something that unprofessional from Shastri. I always knew the guy was a one-eyed jingoistic freak, but for all his other shortcomings, the guy doesn't seem to be a tactless fool.
He has the other ingredients to be a fair commentator. A good, deep barritone, good command over the English language (not a given for sub-continental players) and concise views on the game that he manages to express somewhat articulately.
Even if I had the same opinion as Ravi (ftr, I do not), I would have voiced that in a more acceptable fashion. Of course, staying sober during the discussion helps a bit!
On a separate note, Bhogle should have cut Shastri off when he said "sour grapes".
I don't know what the relation between the two men is like but I'm assuming they are friends having worked together for so long. If my friend was drunk and on the verge of embarrassing himself on camera, my immediate reaction would be to thwart him. It's a pity that Bhogle actually leads him on.
That doesn't take away from Shastri's lack of discretion though. A sound-minded, adult commentator on air is expected to hold himself to better standards. A rap on the knuckles (a monetary fine, possibly) wouldn't be inappropriate, IMHO!
Wonder if Shastri is jealous of the England side being a superior test team?
shastri u lunatic.
See u on dark side of the moon.
President George W. Bush was
once a cheerleader!
And smalishah's avatar is the most classy one by far Jan certainly echoes the sentiments of CW
Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta

Nokia Lumia 1020 Price Cut to $199, Now We're Talking
Whether or not you would be, the new price is $199 with a two-year service agreement with AT&T. That's more in line with competing high-end smartphones like the Galaxy S4 and HTC One, both Android devices.
The Lumia 1020 is a strong contender in the Windows Phone space (see our full review). It has a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in storage, microUSB 2.0 port, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, 41MP rear-facing camera, 2MP front-facing camera, 2,000 mAh battery, and of course Windows Phone 8 software.
Even though it has 32GB of built-in storage versus the more common 16GB starting point for a $199 device, this is where the Lumia 1020 should have been at launch, especially since the Windows Phone platform trails so far behind iOS and Android in market share. If this decision was ultimately made by Microsoft, then it's pending acquisition of Nokia is off to a good start.

Gorgeous Limoges Jardiniere with White Roses and Pink Sweat Peas
I have for your consideration a beautiful Limoges jardiniere bearing the R. Delinieres & C0. (D&Co) Factory underglaze mark 3 (circa 1894).
This gorgeous piece stands 6.5" tall, 7" across at the mouth, and measures 30" in circumference at its widest point. On a canvas of cream white, the artist has hand painted stunning white roses with deep golden yellow centers. The shading is outstanding, and the use of heavy embellished brush strokes to the edges of the petals lend such a sense of realism to the roses that one almost catches themselves bending over to see if they can smell their heady fragrance. Tucked in among these gorgeous and superbly executed rose specimens are sprigs of pink sweat peas with their dainty heart shapes also being embellished with touches of raised paint adding another level of texture of depth. The roses and sweat peas decorate all sides of the jardiniere. Bringing a splash of contrast are bits of thorny stemmed branches bearing green foliage. The rim is adorned with gold gilt that trims the mouth edge and forms an intricate band of scroll work that is outlined in raised gold gilt.
The jardiniere is in excellent condition. There is some darkening of the inside rim which probably occurred from placing a potted plant inside. There is also wear to the gold around the mouth rim and to the gold gilt scroll work; however, there is absolutely no loss whatsoever to the painted roses or other floral design. The colors are warm and cool. This was most definitely an artist who was a master at this particular genre. There are no chips, cracks, hairlines, flakes, flea bites or spiders.
As you can see from the pictures, it's display qualities are awesome. Tucked among your other gorgeous hand painted collectibles it will provide years or viewing pleasure.

"Não te refugies" is a joint endeavour between Serbian and Portuguese people with a common intention of helping the migrating refugees in Serbia. Once the priority needs of the migrating population were identified by local teams and non-governmental organizations, especially the Red Cross – warm clothes, hygiene items, tents and sleeping bags – the campaign to collect them began.
The whole project is non-profitable and based on volunteering. All help, individual or corporative, is welcome.
This initiative has received the vital support of the Serbian Embassy in Portugal.
The response from the Portuguese people has been amazing. However, it has been very difficult to get tents and sleeping bags, quite essential to protect from the harsh winter ahead.
Montecampo has generously offered to provide camping tents large enough to accommodate 3-4 people and sleeping bags fit to face the Serbian weather, at cost-price.
This initiative intends to meet these needs and contribute to the well-being and dignity of all refugees. Your contribution will allow the purchase of tents and sleeping bags, which will greatly improve the living conditions of thousands of refugees. Each tent that is purchased will provide temporary shelter to many people, protecting them from the wind, the cold, the rain, the snow, and also allowing them some privacy.
One tent alone (depending on its period of use) will approximately affect the lives of 120 people a month, 720 people every six months, 1440 a year.
Once we reach our final goal, we will have provided shelter to:
1 day – 140 people
1 month – 4 200 people
6 months – 25 200 people
1 year – 51 100 people
… maybe more!

What types of pain medication are used during labor and childbirth?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
Every woman experiences childbirth differently. Some women have almost no pain at all, only the discomfort of the body's adjustment to passing a fetus, and others have excessive pain to the point of fainting. In all cases, the attending doctor, nurse, or midwife will assess the mother's pain level and administer treatment to lessen the pain. Interestingly, some mothers report pain until the birth, at which point the pain vanishes; this is the exception, however.
For mild pain, especially leading up to labor, over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen are acceptable. Aspirin is never advised during labor as it thins the blood, making uterine hemorrhage more likely. These usually become ineffective as the labor enters the second stage.
Epidural pain relief is most common, especially if the baby needs to be born with tool assist or Cesarean section. This is injected into the lower back and is very effective at dulling or eliminating pain while allowing labor to continue normally.
Narcotic pain relievers such as morphine can be used, although they are more for relaxation of the body, and often cause the mother to fall asleep; this can interfere with the birthing process as the mother can no longer assist in "pushing."
Local anesthetic, injected into the region of highest pain, is helpful if there is the possibility of tearing or other damage to the vulva. This does not affect other parts of the body, however.
Tranquilizers and/or nitrous oxide are rare, but helpful treatments if the mother is experiencing severe anxiety or hysteria; while this is not uncommon, most families and doctors advise breathing techniques and coaching from a beside nurse or family member before medication.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- File sync and share specialists Dropbox and Box offer some of the slickest user and best customer-service experiences in their space.
But with deep-pocketed tech giants vying for the same marketplace, these two leading niche players may find themselves in muddier waters. Increasingly, they're at risk of seeing their high-margin, enterprise customers being pulled away to the larger competitors.
Microsoft (MSFT) is an example of these deep-pocketed behemoths.
Earlier this week, Microsoft made an announcement that should be making them nervous. The company said it will be increasing OneDrive for Business storage to 1 terabyte per user from 25 gigabytes and that furthermore, all Office 365 ProPlus customers will get 1TB of OneDrive for Business storage per user as part of their Office 365 ProPlus subscription.
The company is essentially offering a massive amount of OneDrive for Business storage for free.
>>Read More: Satya Nadella: Microsoft's Chief Believability Officer
OneDrive for Business is being used by Microsoft to basically serve as a loss leader that can get the company stimulated in the space for the bigger product in mind, which in this case is the Office suite of solutions, Office365. Microsoft would really be making its money off of adding more business customers to Office 365 at what the tech giant considers to be a small cost. Dropbox and Box also have freemium models, but these file sync and share offerings are mainly targeted at personal accounts as part of the brand recognition enhancement process. Unlike their long-established peer, they cannot afford to offer their file sync and share services for free to enterprise customers at the extent that Microsoft can because that is their core business.
