Thierry Neuville and Nicolas Gilsoul achieved one of their childhood dreams when they experienced the Rally New Zealand stages for the first time during reconnaissance.
Competing for the Qatar World Rally Team at Rally New Zealand, Thierry Neuville and Nicolas Gilsoul finished the event in fifth place overall. The Belgian pair produced an error-free performance, gradually improving as the rally progressed before claiming three stage wins on day three.
Thierry Neuville and Nicolas Gilsoul achieved one of their childhood dreams when they experienced the Rally New Zealand stages for the first time during reconnaissance. Fifth in the qualifying stage, they were faced with a real dilemma when it came to choosing their starting position for the first leg. Gambling on fairly mild weather conditions, they decided to set start in twelfth place, just ahead of Jari-Matti Latvala.
After making a good start to the rally, Thierry was regularly slowed down by the car in front: "I don't feel any animosity towards him, because he did what he could to let me past, but in places the road just wasn't wide enough. I ended up losing at least twenty or thirty seconds, so my sixth position at the end of day one didn't really reflect our level of performance. When the conditions were right, we managed to get among the leaders with our times."
Saturday's leg enabled the Saint-Vith driver to continue to improve. Runner-up on SS10, Thierry was quicker overall on the day's stages than all of his direct rivals. "It wasn't easy, though. We had to keep switching between hard and soft tyres depending on the changing weather conditions. We worked a lot, not only on my pace notes, but also on the setup of the DS3 WRC. We have closed the gap to fifth place. I'll be going after it on the last leg."
Day three, much shorter than the first two days, provided further confirmation of Thierry's good form. Having carefully managed his allocation of ten soft Michelin Latitude Cross tyres, the Qatar World Rally Team driver was well equipped to go after a top 5 place. A very relaxed Thierry began the day with two stage wins. After cutting Ott Tänak's lead to 16s by the day's half-way stage, he looked set to keep up the pressure! Indeed, Thierry then went on to win SS20, while his Estonian rival was forced out of the rally after rolling his car.
"I'm sorry for Ott, but that's racing, and I'm happy to make it into the top 5 at this rally. If I hadn't lost so much time on day one, we might have finished fourth," concluded the Belgian. "I'm pleased to have reached the end of the rally without making any significant mistakes. These three days of racing have been extremely beneficial for me and I would like to thank Nasser Al-Attiyah once again for having given me this superb opportunity! I really enjoyed driving on this magnificent stages and I can't wait to come back."

Auburn hires Arizona State's Clint Myers as its new softball coach
Auburn softball has landed a championship-caliber head coach.
After guiding the Arizona State softball program to two NCAA national championships and seven Women's College World Series appearances, Clint Myers has decided to try his hand in the SEC, accepting an offer to become the Tigers' new head coach.
"The goal was to find a proven winner who could help us compete for championships," Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said. "We could not have found a coach who better fits that criteria than Clint Myers, who has consistently reached the pinnacle of success in college softball."
Myers led Arizona State to national titles in 2008 and 2011 and went 427-102 in eight seasons with the Sun Devils.
"I am very excited to begin what I expect to be a challenging, rewarding and fulfilling life change with my move to become the head softball coach at Auburn University," Myers said in a release. "This opportunity to coach with my family and to become part of what I feel is a total community family in the town of Auburn was one I absolutely could not pass up."
Myers takes over for Tina Deese, who was fired in May.
Auburn softball has reached an NCAA regional in eight of the past 10 seasons.

Social Security will pay benefits to a child who is disabled and dependent on help for the rest of their lives. Social Security defines disabled as a physical or mental condition so severe that it results in marked and severe limitations.
Increased disabled breadwinners and their survivors led to the development of a generous pension program after the Civil War. This program later developed into Social Security.
Social Security has two programs established to pay benefits to disabled children: Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The SSDI program pays benefits to adults who were disabled prior to the age of 22.
When a child receives SSI, it is required by law that Social Security review the disabled child's medical condition from time to time to verify that continued disability benefit is valid.
Disability payments differ from state to state because some states pay out more benefits than others. Contact your local office for more information.
Time Frame
Expect to wait from three to five months for the Social Security agency to decide if a child is disabled. However, for some medical conditions, SSI payments will be made immediately.

Bruno Re-Trial BeginsBy Dave Lucas Mon May 5, 2014
Former New York State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno was back at the federal courthouse in downtown Albany today to face trial for the second time before U.S. District Chief Judge Gary Sharpe.
A jury was selected Monday morning and opening arguments in his trial began just after 2pm. Prior to entering the courthouse, reporters tweeted that the 85-year old Bruno told them he was "tired" – and was looking forward to putting the long nine-year ordeal behind him.
Bruno was first convicted on two charges of mail fraud in 2009, and sentenced to two years in prison. Here's Bruno in 2009 after that sentence was handed down. "I'm very very disappointed in the verdict that I just heard. And the legal process is going to continue. And in my mind and in my heart, it is not over until it's over."
The court in 2009 ruled Bruno denied taxpayers honest services by concealing a deal with a business associate who paid him as a consultant.
The conviction was subsequently overturned in 2010 after the Supreme Court ruled prosecutors must prove a quid pro quo in order to convict someone of "theft of honest services." Federal courts ruled in 2011 that Bruno could face a second trial if prosecutors could prove a quid pro quo arrangement. Tulley Rinckey partner and director of legal services Tom Carr explains how that was possible. "The provision of the law under which he was convicted previously was found to be unconstitutional. So the conviction under those was overturned. However, the fact pattern that is required is very similar in the charges he has now. So it's almost the same charge. Basically it's you must show some kind of a bribe or a kickback that happened between Bruno and somebody else who essentially gained a benefit from paying Bruno to give him that benefit. That wasn't shown last time and that wasn't something that was argued last time, but this time around that's the crux of the matter."
The jury for the current trial was released at 3:30pm Monday. Leaving court Bruno was overheard saying he is "thankful" for his years of public service.The trial is expected to last about two weeks – Carr doesn't expect to see any new startling evidence in the case. "It's going to wind it's way through and then it's going to be up to the jury to decide is there examples of that quid pro quo that receiving a benefit in exchange for money or some other benefit be it free airplane rides or whatever being provided to the former senate majority leader."
There is speculation that former New York Governor George Pataki may be called to testify.
Bruno had cancer surgery last year. U.S. District Chief Judge Gary Sharpe has agreed to shorten the daily schedule for the trial—which will run from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.—provided Bruno does not use the extra time to hold press conferences.

Do I need WP multi-site to have blog on subdomain?
I am considering my options when moving my whole site to WP.
I now have static pages (ex: http://www.mountain-spirit-guides.com/off-piste-skiing.asp) and a WP blog installed on a sub-domain (http://blog.mountain-spirit-guides.com/).
I am redesigning the whole site, using MAMPP and a localhost, and Ultimatum theme builder to create the WP site. My new website will have pages, photo galleries, and the already existing blog articles.
My main domain will remain the same, but I will redirect the old .asp pages. To avoid changing the url:s of my blog pages, I was thinking to keep the blog on a subdomain and, while creating the new pages and the gallery-category-posts on my main domain.
How would I go about doing that?
Would I need to have a WP multi-site with one subdomain? It seams unnecessary complicated when I will not have more sites or anyone else creating sites…
Or would it be easier to import my blog to my main site and then use a plug-in to assign all blog posts to the original subdomain. But doing so, would the page_id of each post change, so that I would have to set up re-diects for the old posts anyway?
Sorry it's a very specific "my case" question, but I find so many options regarding creating subdomains, redirecting plugins, and transferring WP sites, that I need some advice to get started.
- The topic 'Do I need WP multi-site to have blog on subdomain?' is closed to new replies.

The role of human and social capital on the development of wooden furniture clusters in Sri Lanka
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate how human and social capital assist in the development of clustered and non-clustered firms in the wooden furniture industry in Sri Lanka. The study resulted in three major findings: the most experienced and educated entrepreneurs played an important role to secure their market introducing brand name for the product; human capital acquired through formal education and experience is highly significant for the performance of clustered firms than that of non-clustered firms; and irrespective of clustered or non-clustered, performance of the firms in the wooden furniture industry in Sri Lanka is significantly relying on social capital. Design/methodology/approach - Both cross-sectional and time series data of 96 active firms related to the wooden furniture industry in Sri Lanka are used in this study. The data were collected through questionnaires which were distributed by visiting wooden furniture firms in Sri Lanka in the year 2010. To test the hypotheses, two dependent variables, namely, brand name dummy and the size of the firm (in value added revenue) were used. Findings - The number of years of schooling of the managers and their operational experience within their own business have a positive and highly significant effect on the introduction of a brand name for the products in both type of wooden furniture firms (clustered and non-clustered). Formal education and prior work experience as managers are more significant in the case of clustered wooden furniture firms than non-clustered firms. Originality/value - The author visited these firms personally and interviewed the managers. From this, the author tried to see how both human and social capital contribute to the firms' performance. According to the author's knowledge, this type of study has never been done before in Sri Lanka.

In issuing its free speech-affirming Citizens United ruling in 2010, the Supreme Court specifically ruled that the people have the right to require those who engage in political campaigns to do so in a transparent manner.
And yet, much of the ongoing kvetching against the Citizens United decision ---- which came about when the federal government tried to ban the showing of an advocacy film critical of Hillary Clinton on the eve of an earlier election ---- is based on the mistaken belief that the court held in favor of anonymous political donations and spending.
In fact, the court ruled just the opposite ---- giving a rare instance of the court giving prior approval to legislative action.
The fact that current campaign laws and regulations still allow for anonymous political spending is therefore not the fault of the court in general, nor Citizens United in particular, but of Congress and the various state legislatures that have not taken the court up on its permission to require full disclosure.
We agree with both of Citizens United's major findings: That the American people do not surrender their fundamental and basic right to free speech when they band together into corporations, and that they may choose to require those purchasing campaign ads to disclose the amounts spent and where they were spent.
The most fundamental right of our system is the right to complain about our leaders. And the notion that people cannot pool their resources to more effectively or widely share their political message is noxious to any notion of free speech.
But at the same time, openness and transparency are generally vital to the public's faith in our democratic institutions. Knowing who is paying for an advertisement or commercial praising or damning a candidate (or ballot measure) seems to us pretty crucial in voters' determining how believable that message is.
We urge Congress and the state Legislature to stop wrangling over a decision that was wise and misunderstood, and instead take up their responsibilities to help ensure a transparent political landscape by passing laws requiring full disclosure of all political donations and expenditures.

Transcendental Sonnets of Kyle Gann to be performed in Unitarian Universalist Church
The words of a mystical 19th century poet will ring forth in a new setting at 2 p.m. Sunday in Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo.
In an adventurous move, the church choir will be joined by 26 musicians from the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, led by BPO Associate Concertmaster Ansgarius Aylward, in performing the Transcendental Sonnets of Kyle Gann, written to poetry by Jones Very.
Gann, a composer and musicologist who teaches at Bard College and wrote for 20 years for the Village Voice, is known for his explorations of microtonal composition. These particular songs, however, are tonal and melodic and at times might remind a listener of Benjamin Britten.
Their unpredictable rhythms are in contrast to the formal words. Writing in the 19th century, Very was looking back to a still earlier style.
"His poetry was written in the style of Shakespeare sonnets," explained Phil Nicolai, the Unitarian Universalist Church's music chairman.
Very, born in 1813 in Salem, Mass., was a clergyman who graduated from the Harvard Divinity School and counted among his friends such figures as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne. His sonnets are described as intensely pious, many of them focusing on the theme of submitting to the will of God.
"He was spirit-infused," Nicolai said. "He thought the spirit of God was tapping through him. His poetry was kind of like Holy Writ. He was taken in by Transcendentalists. Emerson helped him publish his book of poetry." Very's career was sadly cut short when he suffered a breakdown in 1838. "He burned out," Nicolai said. "He was a bright star, as it were."
Gann is expected at the concert. The church has a connection with him: Daniel Bassin, who conducts the University at Buffalo Symphony and is the church's music director, studied with him.
Both Bassin and Nicolai believe the 35-minute-long "Transcendental Sonnets" will have a lasting place in the 21st century choral repertoire. Nicolai, who sings in the church's choir, admires the songs' intricacy and said the music is some of the most difficult that he has sung, he said.
"It's constantly going back and forth – 7/4, 4/4, 3/4. There are triplets over half notes, triplets over the entire measure."
Sunday's performance is the inaugural concert for the Barbara Wagner Music Tribute Fund. Wagner, who was the church's music director for 50 years, retired last year after suffering a stroke. Bassin succeeded her in August.

text: On Monday I attended a candlelight vigil for Dr. George Tiller, the slain physician from Wichita, Kansas, who had performed late-term abortions (among other vital services). Taking place on the steps of San Francisco City Hall only a day after the murder, the event was tremendously emotional. My friend Lisa Geduldig, a comedienne, had taken on the very serious task of organizing the vigil — and she did a terrific job. This podcast contains excerpts from the proceedings — including, in its entirety, an extraordinary speech by author and mother Ayelet Waldman. For reasons of timeliness — and out of respect for Dr. Tiller — I have posted this "third" podcast before my "second" one (taped a day earlier), which I will post later this week.

xfe (lightweight file manager for X11) & debian
I'm curious to known why the version of this package is available only at the release 1.04-2.1 (even on squeeze).
This version was realized on 2007-09-12.
Now is available the 1.32.1 (2009-11-12).
Yes the "actual" package is 2 year old.
Is there some specific reason?
Are there hopes for future updates?
Or was simply forgotten?
xfe is available directly from the producer the package debian (but i don't tried it) but only for the 32 bit version.
obviously its not "forgotten".
i had it on stable and on sid. i haven't seen a difference (which doesn't say there ain't one).
You should always check the bugs reported against a package when you have this type of question:
Scroll to the bottom and read the last bug report and replies.

Turkish Muslim Troops Stop Church Services in Cyprus on Christmas, Defrock Priests Mon Dec 27 2010 16:20
More Islamic supremacism from the reislamicized Turks with imperialistic aspirations of an Ottoman Empire. The local Cyprus TV and radio are reporting since Christmas evening that troops in northern occupied Cyprus entered at least seven Greek Orthodox churches, stopped the worship services, threw out the people, and in at least one case forced a priest to remove his clerical dress.
Why are the Muslims occupying Cyprus? Dreams of an Armenian genocide redux?
Protests to EU and UN (hat tip Grace)
NICOSIA - The Cyprus government has protested to the United Nations and the European Union over an illegal act by the breakaway regime in the areas of the Republic occupied by Turkish troops to stop a religious service on Christmas day at the Turkish-occupiedvillage of Rizoparpasso, where Christian Orthodox Cypriot live as enclaved.
In a written statement issued today, Cyprus Government Spokesman Stefanos Stefanou says the occupation regime's act was "completely unacceptable and condemnable. It constitutes a violation of one of the basic human rights as it is the exercise of religious duties".
At the same time, the Spokesman adds that this act "projects the oppressive substance of the occupation".
Stefanou announces that the Cyprus government was making demarches and representations to the United Nations Organisation and the European Union.
From the Greek site Signal Alive:
Mr. Homer said that yesterday's action shows once again the "goal of the occupying Turkish and subservient to the T / C leadership is the complete dehellenisation and the disappearance of any Christian presence in the occupied areas of Cyprus."
The police invaded the Church of St. Caution (St. Sinesiou) in occupied Rizokarpaso, stopped the Divine Liturgy, sealed the church, pulled out the faithful and ordered thepriest to take off the vestments of the joyful birth of Christ. And it didn't stop there. Thepriest of St. Sunday (St. Kyriaki) was notified not to go to work. The ultimate violation of religious freedoms.
The reason: that they had not filed a request for a permit.
The Archbishop Chrysostomos rejected this, noting that the typical program for operations in the Occupied Area is submitted at the beginning of each month, to which he added as requested for Christmas services.
But this is not the only provocative act of the occupation regime. This morning, the occupying authorities have prevented the authorized priest of the Church of the Holy Trinity Giallousis to go to the temple to celebrate the Divine Liturgy of Christmas . Father Konstantinos Papakostas, who once a month goes to the Holy Trinity Church in Rizokarpaso, was ready to go yesterday Rizokarpaso to celebrate the birth of Christ.
Father Konstantinos is authorized by the United Nations, the EU, Cyprus, the Archdiocese and also from Turkey to conduct services in the Holy Trinity Church. This time, the Turks said that the submission of an application should have been done a month ago.

Boom Boom Shahid AfridiMartin Chandler |
Published: 2009
Pages: 76
Author: Noorani, Asif
Publisher: Liberty Books
Rating: 2.5 stars
In my feature about new and forthcoming books in December 2011 I bemoaned my inability to acquire a copy of this book, and in the 18 months subsequent to penning that piece made no progress in my attempts to track down a copy.
Then I suddenly had a change of luck. Karachi based Junaid Latif joined the CricketWeb staff in order to work with the Fantasy Cricket team. In time honoured fashion I greeted him in the staff forum with my usual tongue in cheek request for new staff members located outside the UK, and asked for his help in sourcing the book. Having been told many months ago that Boom Boom; Shahid Afridi was out of print my hopes were not great. I am however reminded of one of my late father's favourite phrases; "Oh ye of little faith". Within a fortnight of assigning the task the book dropped through my letterbox, so many thanks to Junaid, a true gentleman.
Having now read Boom Boom; Shahid Afridi I have to concede that my initial description of it as a biography is, in all honesty, stretching the definition of that word just a little too far. A better description would be a celebration of Afrid's career, with a few biographical insights. The book is not a weighty tome to start with and, well illustrated as it is, it can be read from cover to cover comfortably within the hour. To use a phrase beloved of Archie Mac, it does not outstay its welcome.
Was Boom Boom; Shahid Afridi worth the wait? On balance I would have to say yes it was. For those of us, and there are quite a few, who find that as unattractive as his conduct can be, Afridi is still a cricketer we find ourselves liking and, more importantly, thoroughly enjoy watching, while certainly not being indispensable this is still a book worth tracking down.
Asif Noorani makes it clear at the outset of the book that he is not a cricket writer. I found that a worrying comment, as in my limited experience books published in Pakistan in English tend not to be very well written, but whatever his usual subject might be Noorani is certainly a more than competent editor, and his own contributions, most importantly recording the thoughts of Afridi's father, and his former captain Wasim Akram, are well presented.
There are a few other short essays, from some diverse sources, and a particularly good one from Saad Shafqat, whose name will be familiar to anyone who reads cricinfo. There is, inevitably in a collection of writings such as this, some duplication, but the different writers look at episodes such as Afridi's remarkable century in his first ODI against Sri Lanka, from slightly different angles so the repetition does not grate.
Later in the book there are some thoughts from Afridi himself, and an unexpectedly thorough statistical summary. The paper quality is better than is often the case in Pakistani publications, and the choice of illustrations is excellent – there is a particularly good one of the spectacular outfield catch that dismissed Scott Styris at the Oval in 2009 in the ICC World T20.
So there you have it, a lightweight but interesting little book. If Boom Boom; Shahid Afridi does nothing else, it reminds its reader that Afridi is one of the more interesting cricketers that Pakistan has produced, and that when its subject does finally decide to leave the game someone really ought to write a full biography.

MILLERSBURG -- A Millersburg man was sentenced to more than two years in federal prison for fraudulently claiming to the Internal Revenue Service more than $1.1 million in tax refunds to which he was not entitled.
In November, Dennis Dean Miller, 62, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to six counts of false claims and one count of obstructing internal revenue laws.
On Monday, he was sentenced to 26 months in prison by U.S. District Judge James Gwin. The judge also ordered Miller to pay $132,147 in restitution. He also was fined $5,000.
The restitution order is reflective of the amount of the actual loss to the IRS; however, the full $1.1 million he attempted to collect in returns is chargeable, according to Craig J. Casserly, a public information officer for the IRS.
He noted the scheme used by Miller is not the most common, but is one of many false claims made by criminals to the IRS in an attempt to collect money to which they are not entitled. "It's one of many we see in the area, but not as prevalent as others," Casserly said.
According to the indictment, filed in August, Miller engaged in a "1099-OID scheme." In doing so, he prepared fictitious IRS forms, in which it was falsely reported that "financial institutions had withheld large amounts of federal income tax on behalf of (Miller) with respect to non-existent income.
"Based on this fictitious withholding, false federal income tax returns were prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service claiming large tax refunds to which (Miller) was not entitled," according to the indictment.
For tax years 2006-2011, Miller made false claims for refunds totaling $1,121,420.
Additionally, between May 2012 and December 2013, Miller took several actions to obstruct and impede the IRS's investigation into his fraudulent activity. In doing so, he used a trust to conceal ownership of his property and, under the auspice of paying penalties on fraudulent returns, wrote several checks to the IRS on previously closed accounts.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Henry F. DeBaggis following an investigation by the IRS.
According to the sentencing order, Miller was ordered to surrender himself to the U.S. Marshal on May 9 to begin serving his commitment. After he is released from custody, Miller will be on parole for an additional three years.
"Mr. Miller unlawfully manipulated the tax code for his own personal gain, reaping hundreds of thousands of dollars in fraudulently procured tax refunds," said Frank S. Turner II, acting special agent in charge, IRS Criminal Investigation, Cincinnati Field Office.
"Taxpayers thinking about engaging in tax-defier conduct, such as filing IRS Forms 1099-OID, Original Issue Discount, to avoid their federal tax obligations, should think twice."

Sweet electric soul from Evelyn King – and a set that features lots of contributions from a young Kashif! Kashif both wrote some of the songs, and plays keyboards on the record – helping to give King that tightly focused sound that would really be her strongest suit in the early 80s! There's a nicely clean feel here that keeps the record moving strongly forward – and even though Evelyn's vocals are sometimes second-stage next to the beats and keyboards, they still have a way of sending the tunes home in the end. Titles include "Get Loose", "Back To Love", "I'm Just Warming Up", "Betcha She Don't Love You", "Love Come Down", and "I Can't Stand It". (Includes the lyric sleeve.) © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Tribesports User of the Week: Jennifer P
Which Tribesports Challenge has been your toughest and which are you most proud of?
The toughest are yet to come! I have been working on trying to get a sub 2 hour half marathon and I am so close - 2:01:45 is my current PB. The one I am most determined to complete is actually a team effort to travel five times round the world. It is taking some time!
Of the ones I have completed I would have to say it was The Wall Ultra 2013. I was injured before I started so it was a fairly stupid idea...

Exercise Makes You Smarter
I just read a really fascinating post on the New York Times' Well blog. We've known for a long time that exercise has a whole host of good benefits, including benefits associated with memory. Two recent studies have delved even deeper into how this works.
How does exercise help memory?
In the blog post, New York Times journalist Gretchen Reynolds details the two new studies " one conducted on humans and the other conducted on rats.
In the human study, elderly women who already had some mild cognitive impairment were split into three groups. One group lifted weights, the second group engaged in moderate aerobic exercise, and the third group did yoga-like activities.
The participants were tested at the beginning and end of the 6-month exercise period and the results were striking. First, bear in mind that, in general, we would expect elderly people who are already experiencing mental decline to continue down that path over time. Indeed, after 6 months, the yoga group (our control group) showed a mild decline in several aspects of verbal memory.
The weight-training and aerobic groups, by contrast, actually improved their performance on several tests (remember, this was 6 months later!). In particular, these groups were not losing as much of their older memories and they even became faster at some spatial memory tests involving memorizing the location of three items. In other words, the women were both better at making new memories and better at remembering / retrieving old ones!
Another group of researchers conducted a similar study, only this time rats were getting some cardio in or lifting weights. (The rats ran on wheels for the cardio exercise and, get this, for the weight lifting, the researchers tied little weights to the rats tails and had them climb tiny ladders!)
At the end of six weeks, the running rats showed increased levels of a brain protein that helps create new brain cells. The tail-weight-trainers had higher levels of a different protein that helps new neurons to survive.
How can I use this? Get up and MOVE!
Reading this study has made me want to exercise more¾and not even for the GMAT! I'd like to stave off mental decline in my old age. : )
The women in the study were performing fairly mild exercises only twice a week (remember, they were elderly), so we don't suddenly have to become fitness fiends. We don't know, of course, exactly how the study results might translate to younger people, but the general trend is clear: exercise can help us make and retain memories. That's crucially important when studying for the GMAT¾every last bit will help!
Get a little bit of both weight-training and cardio in every week. You don't have to become a gym rat (pun intended). It's probably enough to engage in some moderate activity every few days. Also, look for ways to incorporate mild exercise into your daily routine. For example, when I go to the grocery store, I carry a basket around on my arm rather than push a cart (unless I really have to buy a lot). I'll fill that basket right up to the brim¾often, I end up having to use both hands to continue carrying the thing. I figure that, every time I do that, it has to be worth at least 10 to 15 minutes of pumping iron!
Studying for the GMAT is tiring, so use this news as an excuse to take a brain break. Get up and walk around the block for 15 minutes, or turn on some music and dance, or run the vacuum cleaner (vigorously!). Then sit back down and enjoy the brain fruits of your physical labors.
Where does it specifically talk about yoga in that article?
Great article! Great infor!!!! ^^
While we often associate exercise with having a set time and day to do it, it's just as easy to incorporate more walking into everyday activities.
Instead of looking for the closest parking place, try looking farther afield. I know, that sort of goes against the grain, but it can be worth it.
GMAT apart,exercising can be very motivating in day 2 day life :)You listen to the motivating music that so much much challenges you to your guts.My personal belief is that solving the absolute value/number properties/RC inference cannot be any harder than doing those deadweight lifts or leg presses(especially if you are doing some hard pumps out there :)).In a way GMAT is so very analogous to doing weight/cardio training at GYM 🙂
ROCK that core (GMAT or GYM wise :))!!
I have to admit that cardio workouts are the best doping for your brain,especially if you do them in nature ,the effect doubles.The cardio makes your mind clear of useless thoughts and your mood is better. 🙂
All in all the excessive studying sometimes leads to detrimental results rather than excellent results.The cardio is without a doubt the best way to boost your performance on the GMAT.
Nice article.

A WOMAN who slipped a disc in her back just two months ago will persevere with the Newport Half Marathon on Sunday in aid of a hospice.
Natalie Halket, 21, has been warned by her physiotherapist to take it easy running the 13.1-mile course, as she aims to raise £250 for St David's Hospice Care.
"It is only this past month that I've been able to train," said Miss Halket, who is running in memory of her godmother's husband Lloyd Hope, who was looked after by a hospice in the West Midlands.
"We chose St David's as our charity of the year here at work. I wanted it to be a hospice because I know what they do, even though it is not the same hospice."
Wessex Garages in Newport, where Miss Halket works, is planning a series of fundraising events throughout the year, including a coffee morning on St David's Day.
"I am the most competitive person ever but I'm not sure if I'll finish the run," she said.
"Lloyd was very competitive and if I get tired I think what would he be saying if he was standing next to me."
Staff from Wessex Garages will man water stations around the course on Sunday.

Politics in Black and White:
This book reaches deep into the past of the city of Los Angeles and carries through to the dramatic events that have recently received global attention--the Rodney King beating and the uprising in South Central L.A. Tracing the evolution of an extraordinary biracial coalition in Los Angeles behind Mayor Tom Bradley, Raphael Sonenshein shows how "crossover" politics and racial violence coexist in urban America. While challenging the prevailing pessimism about biracial coalitions in general, he also compares their relative successes in Los Angeles to their disheartening failures in New York City. What emerges is a probing look at a crucial issue of politics in the United States: can whites and minorities find common ground?
"[A] perceptive and compelling analysis of the course of interracial politics in Los Angeles."--John White, The Times Higher Education Supplement
"An excellent account of the Bradley era."--Los Angeles Times
"In addition to being almost as current as the newspaper, Raphael Sonenshein provides a wealth of detail carefully placed in the evolving history of racial politics of Los Angeles. . . . Much like Moses and the promised land, Sonenshein's book offers a view of what the future may hold for racial coalitions. . . . The analysis in Politics in Black and White offers valuable guidance to those who seek to understand politics in our increasingly diverse society."--Charles S. Bullock, III, Political Science Quarterly
"This is clearly a valuable volume that needs to be studied by anybody who is concerned with the pragmatic and moral problems of race and ethnicity in American politics."--John Louis Lucaites, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
". . . a book that will set an agenda for research and the interpretation of urban politics for years to come. . . . The story that Sonenshein tells is vivid, based on solid evidence, and convincing."--Melvin L. Oliver, Contemporary Sociology
"I was fascinated by Sonenshein's long-awaited book. He has compiled a compelling analysis of the genesis and growth of Black political power in Los Angeles, and his predictions about future alliances are right on target."--Maxine Waters, U.S. House of Representatives
"Politics in Black and White is a very important contribution to the literature of racial and ethnic politics . . . It is the best account of the Bradley era that I know of . . . . People who have followed recent events in Los Angeles, both academically and nonacademically, will find the book informative and accessible."--Bruce E. Cain University of California, Berkeley

Perfect delivery, exactly as pictured
By Poole of Thought
from San Francisco, CA
It arrived on time, in a cardboard delivery box, with another box that was tight-fitting to keep the pad protected. No defects were spotted, such as bending, deformation, etc. The pad also arrived in plastic wrap, so that was also a nice touch. The best thing about it i think, was the quality. It feels nice and it looks nice. Nothing beats that.

Welcome to 2017! In this week's podcast, I discuss the finer points of password management and filing joint tax returns. I also cover shooting my new 7mm Remington Magnum, changing the cyclic rate of the AR-15, and going to media events with my clown shoes on. As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you want to hear about next week.
6 Responses to Tuesday Evening Podcast: January 3, 2017
Good stuff. Sounds like a great price for that shooting course. Less than half for what they charge up here.
Typical clownshoe bloghole blood mouth carnist shit. Actually I'm just wishing I could join you in GA!
What cigar and what rye?
I'd like to know your opinion and findings on thumb placement while shooting for precision. I see lots of cooler bros than me running their thumb along the side of the rifle's grip — even on an AR or the like — instead of wrapping it actually around the pistol grip. I have some thoughts, but would love to hear what you think on next week's "show."
Glad to have the slightly buzzed more enthusiastic Tyler back this week. Last week it sounded like you hiding from someone.
Re scope mounts: I have had pretty good results with the Talley Lightweight alloy scope mounts. I run them on my current hunting rig and on an old savage package rifle to replace the garbage mounts that came on the rifle.
I'm also pretty sure Gunwerks uses them on the tuned up factory rifles they sell (and maybe the custom ones too?).
For a field rifle they are hard to beat as the ring and the base are one piece, fewer moving parts and you can bring the optic down a little lower since you don't have to account for the rail thickness and ring mounting hardware of a traditional setup.
Unless your optic has an objective >50mm you could probably get away with a set of low mounts. I run mediums on my go to hunting rifle and with my 50mm Vortex HS LR there is probably just over 1/8″ clearance at the closest point on a Remington sendero/varmint profile barrel. The lows are 1/10″ shorter so it would probably be just about perfect with a set of those.
I don't know what the deal is but it seems like a lot of picatinny rails for Savages are way too tall.
Really digging the podcast Tyler. Complement sandwich time.
I like hearing some of the inside stories of being a gun blogger/journalist. Your side hustle is my dream job.
You need a mute button for when you cough.
I like that you don't mind calling stuff out as being average. Kind of a rare thing in gun/ammo reviews.
Question though. You were asking for criticism. What kind of podcast are you shooting for? I like the casual, somewhat conversational nature of your current productions but are you looking for something more polished? Or shooting for just more listeners? Let the tens of us know more about what you're looking for and we'll do our best.
Keep it up blood mouth
Thanks! I got started writing with TTAG after I submitted a little piece five and a half years ago. I'd encourage you to do the same!
My original goal with the podcast had been to do something, anything, related to TTAG once a week. I'd found that if I took longer than that off, my focus started to drift, and I'd get into a vicious cycle of not being able to start or finish anything. I wanted to organize my thoughts a bit and talk about what was on the table, what was new, and give a bit of a behind the scenes look at what my "practice" looks like. Talking about it was just the easiest format and if I'm recording a podcast, talking to myself becomes socially acceptable.
What I've found over the past few months is that my favorite thing to talk about are questions and comments provided by readers, so I'm always looking for new and exciting things to ponder, research, or discuss.
As the podcast is a side hustle of the side hustle, I don't know if I want to try to chase production quality by buying soundboads, mics, etc. Right now, I record it on my laptop in my shop. But I will be more diligent about muting out the coughs and scratching noises. I dusted off my copy of GarageBand so I might make a stab at cleaning up the audio a bit as well.
Longwinded answer to a short question.
TL;DR – Tell me what you like and I'll do more of that. Tell me what you hate and I'll do less of it if I agree with you. Find things for me to research or ponder and I'll talk about those.
I actually think the sound quality is surprisingly good.
Speaking of mics…was listening to a bunch of random music on the ol YouTubes today, and the audio quality of this setup is pretty freakin amazing (you have headphones or good speakers?): https://youtu.be/qlE5ReKf3Y0

A Syrian activist group says fighting between regime troops and rebels in the south has killed one and wounded at least five soldiers.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the clashes broke out early Friday in the town of Jassem in the southern province of Daraa.
The 10-month conflict in Syria has grown more militarized as army defectors joined the uprising against President Bashar Assad and formed a guerrilla force, protecting protesters but also attacking regime troops.
The U.N. estimated in January that at least 5,400 people have been killed in the crackdown.
Activists have called for nationwide protests after Friday prayers to mark the 30th anniversary of the Syrian regime's assault on the central city of Hama that killed thousands.

Review Roundup- LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE at the La Jolla Playhouse
The Tony Award-winning creative team of composer/lyricist William Finn and writer/director James Lapine, who previously collaborated on the Tony Award-winning musicals Falsettos and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, will bring their latest project to, Little Miss Sunshine to The Playhouse. The production runs through March 27, 2011 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre.
The cast of LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE features Hunter Foster Urinetown, Little Shop of Horrors as "Richard Hoover," Malcolm Gets "Caroline in the City," A New Brain, Amour as "Frank Ginsberg,"Georgi James Billy Elliot as "Olive Hoover," Dick Latessa Hairspray as "Grandpa,"Jennifer Laura Thompson Urinetown, Wicked as "Sheryl Hoover" and Taylor Trensch Spring Awakening as "Dwayne Hoover." The ensemble includes Bradley Dean, Carmen Ruby Floyd, Eliseo Roman,Andrew Samonsky, Sally Wilfert and Zakiya Young; and the Pageant Girls include local actresses Felicity Bryant, Sophia Delange, Kishka Grantz and Madi Rae DiPietro.
Click Here for Tickets and More Information.
Bob Verini, Variety: The sun shines throughout "Little Miss Sunshine," but the necessary darkness is absent. La Jolla's musicalization of the 2006 movie, launching a hoped-for eastward road trip, boasts David Korins' brightly cartoony designs and a typically tinkly William Finn score. Yet no one seems to have noticed how Michael Arndt's Oscar-winning saga of a young girl's odyssey to pageant immortality is fueled by anger, its family dysfunction the product of devastating disappointments. Unless and until librettist-helmer James Lapine raises both stakes and heat, this tuner will remain a limp retread of robust source material.
Welton Jones, SanDiego.com: There's a temptation here to thank Finn and especially Lapine for what they didn't do. There are opportunities aplenty for bathos and pandering with such ripe material and, indeed, there are such groaners as a little girl asking, "Where is heaven anyway?" as a song cue. But even such a obvious set-up can produce poetry; one of the answers to the question is that heaven is "where people prize what's weird about you."
James Hebert, San Diego Union-Tribute: As "Little Miss Sunshine" eyes the highway to Broadway (note Step 7, "See the Mountaintop"), that element may merit some fleshing-out. While the show's running time of about 2 hours, 40 minutes isn't extravagant by musical standards, the first act also flags a bit, partly because the pieces takes its sweet time establishing the character of Olive (played by the lovable Georgi James), the audience's natural rooting interest.
But there's also plenty to like about the production, starting with David Korins' fetching design scheme, a mix of minimalist whimsy and mid-century modern. His fascination with trapezoids becomes a chief motif, expressed everywhere from the walls of the Hoovers' Albuquerque home to a roadside gas joint (which seems explicitly modeled after a famous one near Palm Springs).
Jay Irwin, BroadwayWorld: If that dream team of a cast wasn't enough, Finn and Lapine wisely gave each of their hysterical ensemble members a moment in the sun. Bradley Dean, Carmen Ruby Floyd, Eliseo Roman, Andrew Samonsky, Sally Wilfert and Zakiya Young each took the small parts they were given and ran with them, almost right out of the theater as each of them brilliantly played the comedic relief to the family's "straight man".

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
The boom in the energy markets means a boom in real estate, too, in some U.S. markets.
Suburban office rents in Houston are up by more than 21 percent compared to a year ago – a bigger percentage increase than any other U.S. office market, according to a new report by CBRE Group.
Downtown Houston office rents are also 14.9 percent higher thanks to the demand from energy firms, a new report by CBRE finds.
The Dallas area office market – which is certainly getting some help from oil and gas firms – isn't seeing the same kind of office rent increases as Houston.
That's no surprise.
Energy firms occupy more than half of Houston's office space, according to another new report by Jones Lang LaSalle.
In the Dallas area, energy firms account for just 4 percent of office tenants in the market.

Usually, ski areas don't give away holiday stay-dates. Traditionally ski resorts make up to 20 percent of their total winter take over the holidays. Many resorts will charge a bit extra for everything from lodging to lifts to make those cash registers ring a little louder.
Tell that to northwest Lower Michigan's Crystal Mountain. While it works to whiten its slopes with an army of snow guns, helped along by a Dec. 9-10 winter blast that barreled in from the Dakotas, Crystal is offering a plethora of holiday deals all season that give you at least one night's stay free.
Celebrate Hanukkah at Crystal Dec. 14-15 by staying two nights, and get a third night free. The deal applies to lodging only. If you miss that one, there are lots more through the season, listed here. Or if you book one of Crystal's "unlimited ski and ride" packages starting at $149 per adult, per night, including lift tickets. Up to two kids ages 9-17 sleep and ski/ride and get breakfast free. Crystal's weekend lift tickets alone start at $55 per adult, so a room rate quickly drops from a $179 rack rate to less than $100, an $85 per night savings.
Named by On The Snow as one of the nation's top resorts to celebrate the holidays, Crystal has always prided itself on catering to families. It boasts learn-to-ski/ride programs that's made it famous for over the decades. Add to that rep its ice rink, indoor pool, the outstanding variety of accommodations ranging from mountaintop condos and the cottages at Water's Edge, and the services available at its Crystal Spa. Add again to that its commitment to the environment, and there are myriad reasons the resort has become one of the most popular destinations for boarders and skiers from across the Midwest
With 45 downhill runs, more than 40k of cross-country ski trails threading through the hardwood hills, the opportunity to snowshoe through Michigan Legacy Art Park, more snowmaking capacity added over the summer, and its new XC Training Center, there are more than enough reasons to put a visit here on your winter wish list this season.
