OCALA, Fla. – Baylor aims for its second consecutive NCAA Championship berth as the men's golf team is competing in the NCAA Florida Regional at Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club.
The 54-hole regional tournament will be held Thursday, May 19-Saturday, May 21 at the par-72, 6,994-yard Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club. The low five teams and the low individual not on an advancing team will move on to the 114th annual NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship, which will be held May 31-June 5 at Karsten Creek Golf Course in Stillwater, Okla.
"We're excited to have the opportunity to go back to Regionals for the 14th consecutive year," head coach Greg Priest said. "Our guys played well at the end of the year to get the chance to go back to the postseason. After last year's success, they know they can (advance to the NCAA Championship) year-in and year-out."
No. 7 seed Baylor, one of 14 teams tabbed for the NCAA Florida Regional, is making its 14th consecutive NCAA postseason appearance. It also serves as Baylor's first postseason appearance in Florida. Last season, the Bears advanced to the NCAA Championship for only the fifth time in program history after defeating Georgia in a playoff at the NCAA South Central Regional in Bryan, Texas. The Bears concluded the 2009-10 season with a 25th-place finish at the NCAA Championship in Ooltewah, Tenn.
Baylor, which is receiving votes in the latest Golf World/NIKE Division I Coaches' Poll, is one of eight schools ranked in the top 50 of the latest Golfstat standings – Florida (No. 5), defending national champion Augusta State (No. 6), Arkansas (No. 17), Oregon (No. 20), N.C. State (No. 29), UCF (No. 32), Baylor (No. 42) and Kennesaw State (No. 43). The remainder of the 14-team NCAA Florida Regional field includes Notre Dame, Missouri, Southeastern Louisiana, Jacksonville State, Georgia Southern and Jackson State.
"I like our chances," Priest said. "If we play well, we'll get through, but it'll take good golf just like any other tournament during the season."
Baylor's NCAA Regional lineup is loaded with experience; four of Baylor's five golfers played in the 2010 NCAA South Central Regional and NCAA Championship. The Bears are led by veterans Joakim Mikkelsen, Cody Paladino and Payne Gniewek, who have played a combined 36 career rounds in NCAA postseason events.
"The experience in our lineup is huge," Priest said. "Unlike years past, now we have the depth which has really helped us. Both Cody (Paladino) and Payne (Gniewek) will be making their fourth NCAA Regional appearance; Joakim (Mikkelsen) is making his third."
Mikkelsen leads Baylor in every major statistical category, including percentage of rounds counted (96.8), scoring average (72.35), score vs. par (1.10) and rounds of par or better (13). The Drammen, Norway, product also has three top-10, five top-15 and nine top-25 finishes in 10 total tournaments. Rounding out Baylor's lineup are sophomores Ryan O'Rear and Jerry Ruiz. Ruiz, a native of Puebla, Mexico, will make his NCAA postseason debut in Florida.
"Experience is huge and now they know what to expect," Priest said. "It's a lot of pressure and it all comes down to one tournament (to continue your season). But we've been here before and now we have to be ready to step up when it's time."
Baylor will begin its NCAA Championship hunt Thursday beginning at 7:50 a.m. CDT from the No. 1 tee box. Live scoring for each round of the 2011 NCAA Florida Regional will be available at www.golfstat.com.

|Tribute to Jean Monbourquette (1933-2011) – Colloquium " From psychology to spirituality "
Judith Malette
Date :March 27th, 28th, and 29th 2014
|Room: Amphithéâtre, G-203
For quite some time Psychology has doubted religion; however, we are witnessing today a new openness about the role of religion in human development. The dialogue between psychology and religion was improved by the emergence of spirituality and the acknowledgement of it being an essential dimension of the person. In a sense, we have experienced a transition from religion to psychology and from psychology to spirituality.
In fact, this mutual recognition is highlighted by the publication of ''Integrating spirituality into treatment'' (1999), a book endorsed by the American Psychological Association. This book paved the path for a new closeness between clinical psychology, empirical psychology and spirituality. When the links between psychology and spirituality were no longer thwarted by theoretical or empirical obstacles, they became slowly being recognized by the public in North America. Conversely, numerous factors played a part in developing an integrated view of psychology and spirituality: the introduction of seeing human beings in a holistic manner by the medical and other health fields; the contributions of different cultural beliefs to scientific psychology, as well as the popularity of the mindfulness approach in psychotherapy. These various factors have facilitated our understanding but the links between psychology and spirituality continue to expand to other areas. Countless researchers and clinicians have spent time and efforts studying the ties between psychology and spirituality in various facets of human
functioning. Additionally, on an academic level, the rising popularity of graduate studies programs in Counselling and Spirituality speaks to this recognition. However, it is not clear whether this recognition is temporary or simply rooted in the present psycho-social reality that encourages a new way of conceptualizing the human experience, psychological disorders, their treatment and psycho-spiritual research.
Regardless of the obstacles, there is a ''pocket of resistance'', inspired by European free-thinkers/clinicians like Viktor Frankl, Carl Jung, Roberto Assagioli, who have stressed the major bond between psychology and spirituality: it is a reality and we must try to explore it in order to understand it better. In that, Fathers Yvon Saint-Arnaud and Jean Monbourquette, both French-Canadians, are also some of the pioneers in this area. Moreover, some contemporary minds like Michel Fromaget (ternary anthropology), Karlijn Demasure and Ramón Martinez de Pisón (theologians) have explored the psychology-spirituality links in the context of practical theology, as well as in the relationship between spirituality (theology) and counselling (psychology). Additionally, this conference aims to be a tribute to Jean Monbourquette and his contributions, through various workshops addressing topics dearest to him: grief, forgiveness, how to discover your personal mission, and self-esteem, to name a few. The workshops will be offered by individuals who have been trained by Father Monbourquette, and will welcome everyone interested in psycho-spiritual growth.
Researchers, clinician-researchers, doctoral students, master's students and everyone interested in psycho-spiritual growth.Number of participants: minimum: 50; maximum: 150
This conference will, first of all, allow researchers, clinician-researchers, doctoral students and master's students to present case studies, qualitative or quantitative empirical researches which explore the relationships between psychology and spirituality. This conference will also encourage discussion on questions such as: how are the links between psychology and spirituality researched? Ex: what methods can be used to explore these links? Can psychology lead to spirituality? If so, how? By viewing the human experience as holistic, in what sense is the bond between spirituality and psychology unbreakable? Does a deep self-awareness lead to a blooming of spirituality or to an acknowledgement of spirituality? Finally, how is psychology useful in discerning a healthy spirituality that can help a person grow from one that could compromise growth or even steer a person towards fundamentalist attitudes?

The Labor Force Participation of Married Mothers in Spain and Britain
We explore the determinants of the relative probabilities of labor force participation for British and Spanish married (or cohabiting) mothers. We further decompose these probabilities and find a substantial cross-national gap in participation rates which can be predominantly explained by higher wages and greater child care use in Britain.

Pistol is more than the biography of a ballplayer. It's the stuff of classic novels: the story of a boy transformed by his father's dream -- and the cost of that dream. Even as Pete Maravich became Pistol Pete -- a basketball icon for baby boomers -- all the Maraviches paid a price. Now acclaimed author Mark Kriegel has brilliantly captured the saga of an American family: its rise, its apparent ruin, and, finally, its redemption.

text: Institutional Learning Outcomes For a copy of the brochure, please download here. Mission Statement Pepperdine University is a Christian university committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values, where students are strengthened for lives of purpose, service, and leadership. Institutional Learning Outcomes The Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs) are formed by two components: Core commitments: Knowledge and scholarship, faith and heritage, and community and global understanding Institutional values: Purpose, service, and leadership Each commitment is evaluated and implemented through the lens of the institutional values. All components are represented in both the learning environment and the student learning outcomes. Student Learning Outcomes Student Learning Outcomes are measurable expectations that are formed from the model of the Institutional Learning Outcomes (formed by core commitments from the Strategic Plan and institutional values of purpose, service, and leadership). Outcomes-based assessment allows the institution to measure the impact of their educational environment. In Astin's (1991) college impact model, outputs or outcomes are functions of two factors including inputs and the learning environment. The outcomes listed below will be measured at various points during the educational experience, at graduation, and post-graduation. The degree to which outcome expectations are achieved shapes planning and resource allocation within the learning environment. A culture of assessment enhances the ability to meet the changing needs of students who will encounter challenges that have not yet been discovered. The SLOs in the matrix below can be thought of by using the precursor, "Pepperdine graduates and alumni will be able to:" Learning Environment The Learning Environment is the setting in which students are engaged. Following the model of the Institutional Learning Outcomes, the environment is described by showing the initiatives that emerge from each core commitment (derived from the University Strategic Plan) combined with a specific institutional value (purpose, service, leadership). For example, the box which shows the intersection of "Knowledge & Scholarship" and "Purpose" indicates a particular institutional objective, in this case, one "promot[ing] a vibrant, intellectual life that cherishes the liberal arts and graduate/professional education." Astin's (1991) "inputs-environments-outcomes" college impact model provides a framework for understanding the learning environment. The ability of an institution to understand students at the point of enrollment and at the time of graduation (and postgraduation) provides an opportunity to measure growth that is associated with the educational environment. This environment is designed to facilitate the Student Learning Outcomes listed below.

The role of competencies and interests in developing complex IT-artefacts: the case of a metering system
In this paper we aim at contributing to the ongoing debate on the relationship between artefacts and organizational structuration. Current literature emphasises the role of artefacts as mediators between interests of different categories of actors, namely between designers and users. Alternatively, it concentrates on the processes of learning and interacting between each actor and the artefacts themselves. We explore an arrangement which is not captured by these characterizations, and yet is becoming more and more common, that is situations in which complexity imposes an integration of different actors focusing on knowledge domains which are only partly overlapping. To explore these issues, we examine the dynamics surrounding the design of a complex artefact: an electronic metering system developed by a consortium of firms. The main results emerging from the case study are 1) the relevance of each actor's interests as the main rationale for explaining the technical features of the artefact; 2) the role of negotiation and consensus in determining the final shape of the artefact in term of its features; 3) the bundling/unbundling of features within the physical object as the cooperative effort rises/falls.

The article below has been selected from the extensive archives of the Online Aikido Journal. We believe that an informed readership with knowledge of the history, techniques and philosophy of aikido is essential to the growth of the art and its adherence to the principles espoused by Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba.
I found it difficult to understand [O-Sensei] when he used Omoto ideas and doctrines to explain aikido, because they were very vague. Someone with a deeper knowledge of Shinto probably would have gained a better understanding than I did. He was speaking in Japanese, of course, so I understood the words, but it was the way he expressed things that was difficult to understand. It was difficult to follow his logic, to feel that I had really grasped his meaning in a coherent way. In the same way children may not understand precisely what their parents are saying, even though they do in a general sense. O-Sensei was also from a different era, so he communicated in a somewhat different way.
Aikido Journal Online has the world's largest archive of Aikido-related material including articles, interviews, photographs and video clips. As an Aikido Journal Online subscriber you will have access to a variety of website resources reserved exclusively for members. These include:
- Full access to the ever-growing Aikido Journal archives consisting of more than 650 articles.
- Full access to Stanley Pranin's "Encyclopedia of Aikido" featuring some 900 entries with over 200 rare photos.
- Full access to an ever growing collection of technical and historical video clips featuring many of the best-known exponents of aikido, Daito-ryu aikijujutsu, and other arts.
Besides these advantages, by becoming an Aikido Journal Online subscriber, you help support our staff in its continuing work of researching and documenting the history of aikido, Daito-ryu aikijujutsu, and related martial arts.

Super 15 YTD 57-68 +7.20 units
Well have had the break for the test matches and now we are right back into it with my boys playing on Friday night Footy dont get much better than that.
Chiefs -3.5 2 units @ $1.90
Well how can i not jump all over this line. Its short and the Chiefs have been the best team in the comp. They did lose to the highlanders in round 1 at home and i think they have been waiting for this game all sesaon. They will want revenge big time and to get on top of the Highlanders at home would be the sweetest way to do so. The Chiefs are 11-2 Su and 8-5-0 ATS for the season and in confrence games they are 4-1 Su and 3-2-0 ATS so have been really good across the board. The Highlander are 9-5 Su and 7-7-0 ATS for the season and in confernce they are 5-2 Su and 4-3-0 ATS, with both losses coming in their last 3 confrence games. Look for the Chiefs to show thier attacking ability in this one and win by 7 to 12 points.
Chiefs/Highlanders over 44.5 1 unit @ $1.90
Not to sure why the total is so low for this one. Both teams have had 3 weeks together and should be up for this game. A few of the Chiefs super stars are off that awsome game 3 test match and should be in the mood for points. All season the totals have been above 50 and now becasue of the break its back below it. Well i will take the value there boys.
I think that it will be the oppisite of that effect mate. Think both teams will be ready to score and be right up to pace straight away.
Super 15 YTD 59-68 +9.90 units
Well what a game that was. The Chiefs got there in the end which was a relief.
Well have just the one play for tonight so far,
Hurricanes +11.5 1 unit @ $1.90
Like the Canes tonight to get revenge for what happened the first time these two teams met. DC is huge loss for the saders and think the canes should have enough to keep the game closer this time. On the season the canes are 8-6 Su and 9-5-0 ATS and in confrence games they are 3-3 Su and ATS for the season. The Saders are on the season are 9-4 Su and 6-7-0 ATS and in confrence games they are 4-2 Su and ATS. So they have been really good at getting the win but not covering and for that reason i like the Canes tonight.
Adding these plays for tonight boys,
Hurricanes +11.5 2 units @ $1.90
Cheetahs +14.0 1 unit @ $1.90
The Cheetahs have been pretty good all season and now with 3 weeks rest they will be ready to play the confrence game tonight. The Cheetahs are 5-8 Su and 7-6-0 ATS for the season and in confernce games they are 1-4 Su and 2-3-0 ATS so have been goodish at keeping the games close all season. The Bulls are 8-5 Su and 6-7-0 ATS for the season and in confrence games they are 3-2 Su and ATS. So have not been as good as many would suspect against the SA teams.
Cheetahs/Bulls under 54.5 1 unit @ $1.90
Love the under in this spot and could be adding to the play later on tonight. The Bulls are 1-4 on totals in confrence games and this number is very high. They are 8-5 overall on totals so that suggests a lot about the way they play confrence games. The Cheetahs are 7-6 on totals overall and 2-3 in confrence games again suggesting that the game will be low scoring and we have a very large number to play with.
Super 15 YTD 60-68 +11.70 units
Well that was one hell of a game and the Canes get the win which is perfect for me and my boys the Chiefs. Just going to leave it with my last 2 plays for the weekend. No scratch that,
Force/Brumbies under 45.5 1 unit @ $1.90
Love this game to stay in the under tonight. Both teams have really good ability on the D side of the ball and struggle to score a lot of tries. The Force are 6-6 on totals for the season and 4-3 in confrence games for the season. The Brumbies are 6-8 on totals for the season and 0-6 on totals in games inside the confrence. This should be a low scoring slog feast.
Super 15 YTD 61-68 +12.60 units
Come on for the last 2 plays of the weekend for me to have a perfect weekend
Super 15 YTD 61-70 +10.60 units
Well had a winning weekend and that is all can really say after the perfect weekend was broken up with 2 bad plays on the SA games.
Have a good week boys

A crowded field, 8 years on, for Beauprez
DENVER — Bob Beauprez says he plans to do things a lot differently this time around.
The former Front Range congressmen who made a failed bid for Colorado governor in 2006 is trying again to win that job, but this time he must navigate through a field of six other candidates in order to win the Republican Party nomination and right to face Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper in November.
But the man who lost the race against the last governor, Democrat Bill Ritter, by 17 percentage points said Tuesday things will be different.
"I'm smarter, I'm not going to make the same mistakes twice," he said. "I take full responsibility for that. We didn't run a very good campaign, and that's my fault. Now, we have a very different environment, and I'm going to have a very different team. But the biggest difference is, now I'm running against an incumbent that we've got plenty of reasons to attack, and I intend to make that case."
But first he has to win his party's nod over other Republicans, some of whom have been in the race for some time, including fellow former congressmen Tom Tancredo and current Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler.
Also in the race are state Sen. Greg Brophy of Wray, former state Sen. Mike Kopp of Arvada, Adams County businessman Steve House and La Salle resident Ronita Sylvester, who recently entered the race. Sylvester and her husband, Charles, ran as write-in candidates the same year Beauprez was losing to Ritter. They got 370 votes.
At one time or another, five other Republicans were in it, too, including Jason Clark, who ran for the seat as an unaffiliated candidate in 2010. He dropped out over the weekend, throwing his support to Beauprez and calling on the other GOP contenders to do the same.
So far, none have indicated plans to mirror what some Republicans did when U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, R-4th, jumped into the U.S. Senate race last week. There, two GOP candidates, state Rep. Amy Stephens of Colorado Springs and Weld County district attorney Ken Buck, left the race to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Udall.
Two others, state Sens. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs and Randy Baumgardner of Hot Sulphur Springs, are still in it.
Kopp said he's not leaving the race, saying Beauprez is old news.
"Coloradans want to turn the page and get behind a candidate with a vision and plan that empowers people, fights Washington's relentless attack on our freedoms, and represents the future of our state," Kopp said. "Bob is welcome to join the race, but we've see this movie before, and it doesn't end well."
Meanwhile, House launched a series of new radio ads Tuesday touting his campaign, and Tancredo kicked off a fundraising scheme to give away a new AR-15 rifle to one donor of his campaign.
A Colorado native, Beauprez was Republican Party state chairman before getting elected in 2002 in the then-newly formed 7th Congressional District, where he served two terms before running for governor.
Since that race, he launched an online conservative magazine, A Line of Sight, and has been working as its executive editor.

Cinema was still a relatively new hybrid of art and technology when the RMS Titanic met its fate. Still, movies wasted no time taking on a disaster that seemed to expose the hubris of embracing the new too hardily. And from the start, film wove the true with the fictional, a habit enjoyed right up to director James Cameron's 1997 romantic epic starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as the White Star Line-crossed lovers Jack and Rose.
The first silent of merit is celebrating its own centennial. "Saved From the Titanic" was released just a month after of the sinking. The one-reeler featured American actress Dorothy Winifred Gibson, who'd been a passenger on the ship. Other early efforts that utilized the ship's ruin if not the vessel's name: "Atlantis" (1913) and "Atlantic" (1929).

World War II saw the German-made "Titanic" (1943), a propaganda effort intended to exploit the oceanliner's misfortune as a rank example of British incompentence. But the tale of humans facing a heretofor unfathomable disaster sank at the box office.
"Regular bombing raids on German cities by the combined American and British air forces did not whet the public's appetite for a disaster," according to the Media Awareness Network. "The Nazi censors yanked it from circulation when they discovered that German audiences were still far too sympathetic toward the British passengers despite the obvious propaganda quotient."
There remain three vastly notable films about the disaster. (Four, if you count 1972's "The Poseidon Adventure," which I sort of do.)
"Titanic" (1953): Charles Brackett, Walter Reisch and Richard L. Breen won the best original screenplay Oscar for this tale of romantic woe and reckoning. Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb star as the fictional Sturges, first-class passengers whose marriage has floundered. A shockingly fresh-faced Robert Wagner plays a nice Midwestern fella smitten with the wealthy couple's daughter.
"A Night to Remember" (1958): Movie purists and Titanic historians often hail this British take on the disaster as the best. It is indeed wondrous in its restraint. The film, based on Walter Lord's book, did not book fictional characters onboard but hewed to accurate depictions of the class hierarchies that doomed most of the third-class passengers who weren't allowed up on deck until lifeboats had been lowered to sea.
"Titanic" (1997 and 2012): Writer-director Cameron's titanic hit — which is set for a 3-D rerelease April 4 — was the first film to sail past the billion dollar, box-office beacon. It was nominated for 14 Oscars and won 11, including best picture and best director. It's tarnished some by its over-the-top flourishes: Billy Zane wielding a gun, really? Three decades after "The Morning After," Maureen McGovern's disaster ballad for "The Poseidon Adventure," Celine Dion ruled the airwaves — and then some — with "My Heart Will Go On." (Both songs won Oscars.) Last but hardly least, "Titanic" ensured first-class passage to the A-List for young stars Winslet and especially DiCaprio.

A doctor cannot help her. She has to seek counselors/places who specialize in eating disorders herself. Same thing as alcohol rehab. There is a very low success rate, it only works if you want it. Bulimia already ruined a serious relationship in her life. Her call, no outside source will have any influence.
I see it now. You cannot FF on flashback; it forwards too much. Yep she is binging. She also sets up her purge in the kitchen by talking about flies, there were none. Now she spots the bug in her salad.
It is unfortunate yes, and I have to comment on her manners despite the sad condition. Horrific, crass, ill bred and repulsive.

P.S. I know they do have bugs in the kitchen, but it was obvious she was using the bugs as an excuse to go throw up. Spencer saw right through this, but he plays along so as to not embarrass her more. He knows about her problem. The whole thing is sad. I know she is not the nicest person, but I hate to see anyone with a serious problem like this.
the finale is gonna be a catastrophe
if andy wins pt 3 he's gonna chop gm and i dont think she would be able to handle it
gm is definately gonna take andy if she wins though
you know whats sad is that these guys both see that gm is bingeing but because of them trying to secure a f2 position, they dont want to 'upset' her
spencer brought up a previous fly-in-food incident and i dont think that went over very well
maybe s/a talked about it in diary
Andy and Spencer don't have to say anything to GM. I suspect neither of them encountered this before, and wouldn't know what to say
The average dog is a nicer person than the average person

A misogynist is someone who hates women. Spencer loves them. There is a soft hearted guy behind the crude bravado. The word c*nt is just a swear word. Women have given it the weight it seems to carry with most. I don't use it but it doesn't bother me. I give it no power.
Everyone will be fine except for one thing. The BB community hated this season and does not like any of them. That will be the biggest kicker for them. They can rationalize internet and twitter haters but not this.

The Bengals thought they'd found a defensive tackle to replace Geno Atkins on the 53-man roster when they announced the signing of Christo Bilukidi on Monday.
That signing was nullified later in the day, however, because Bilukidi, who is Canadian, didn't have the proper documentation to work in the United States. He'll be eligible to sign with a team once he gets the paperwork sorted out, but the Bengals have decided to move in a different direction.

Upgrade Original iBook to CD-RW
Date: Tuesday, October 30th, 2001, 11:20
Category: Archive
Apple has always pushed the boundaries of personal computing and the new iPod is a prime example of this strategy. It takes a lot of exciting technologies and puts them into an elegant package that has been seamlessly integrated with iTunes 2 and Apple FireWire hardware.
The decision to go with a sub 2.5-inch 5 GB drives seems to have helped with size and battery life at the expense of storage capacity and cost. FireWire is so fast and the fact that it is used to charge the battery is brilliant! There has got to be camera software and an iMovie revision in the works for this pod.
I just posted this to Slashdot as a reply to one of the articles about OS X. I thought I'd share it with you as it relates to the last article somewhat. Its kind of unedited, written for a Linux crowd.
I just wanted to relate my experience with 10.1 last week. I got a copy after months of procrastination and installed it on a G3 450mhz (the Blue and White type). I'd also like to note that I'm not really trying to start a flame war. I am a big fan of *nixes in general (I first worked on a PDP11 running some kind of Nix back in 82), I am also (strangely for a nix zealot) a huge Mac fan. I'm not a big fan of any Nix GUI nor of windows. Mainly I'm posting this because for the first time in several jaded years, something in mainstream Computing made me go "Wow!". Forget the iPod. The experience below has just made me decide that OSX is an incredible achievement.
There has been a lot of talk since the iPod came out about Apple's lack of wisdom in making the iPod Mac only. Many have said that with a product this great, why not make it PC compatible as well and it'll be the best selling MP3 player on the market. While that may be true, I don't think it's important. In many ways, I think Apple is better as a niche player.

The boyishly good-looking James McAvoy has become an unlikely action star thanks to starring roles in Wanted and X-Men: First Class, films he juggles alongside Oscar contenders like The Last King of Scotland, Atonement and The Last Station. Two franchises could be a coincidence. Now that McAvoy is in talks to star in the upcoming reboot of The Crow, we're starting to think it's all part of an ongoing plot to dominate the world of comic book movies.
Bloody-Disgusting now claims that McAvoy is the frontrunner for the title role in The Crow, the latest adaptation of James O'Barr's supernatural revenge saga. Although the most popular cinematic version of The Crow, a name taken by those who come back from the dead to exact revenge on their killers, was played by the late Brandon Lee in 1994, later film and television versions have starred Vincent Perez, Marc Dacascos, Eric Mabius and Terminator 2's Eddie Furlong as the undead hero. Relativity Media has been trying to get a franchise reboot off the ground for years. McAvoy is only the latest name attached to the project after Mark Wahlberg and Bradley Cooper reportedly flew the coop.
The current director attached to Relativity's The Crow is F. Javier Gutierrez, filling the vacancy left by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) over a year a go. Gutierrez's only feature film to date is Before the Fall, about the 72-hour period before an apocalyptic meteor strike. Although the hero of the franchise has traditionally shifted from film to film, each with a different tale of vengeance all their own, the reboot reportedly plans to return to the original comic book storyline, and would feature McAvoy as indie rocker Eric Draven, who returns from the grave to avenge the death of his fiance at the hands of underworld scum.

Lakeview Homecare recently announced that it has been named a Top Agency of the 2012 HomeCare Elite™, a compilation of the top-performing U.S. home health agencies.
In its seventh year, the HomeCare Elite identifies the top 25 percent of Medicare-certified agencies and highlights the top 100 and top 500 agencies overall. Winners are ranked by an analysis of publicly available performance measures in quality outcomes, process measure implementation, patient experience (Home Health CAHPS), quality improvement, and financial performance.
"The 2012 HomeCare Elite winners demonstrate a commitment to providing patient-centered care and serving as leaders in the home health community. Their success offers data-driven proof of being well-managed and high quality care providers to hospitals, managed care organizations, ACOs, and other potential referral partners across the healthcare continuum," said Susan L. Henricks, President and COO of National Research Corp., the parent company of OCS HomeCare. "Again, this year, we updated our methodology to reflect the rapidly evolving quality-focused healthcare landscape and national value-based purchasing trends. We congratulate Lakeview Homecare on being recognized as a top home-care agency."
"HomeCare Elite recognition continues to gain importance given the increased regulatory mandates and the threat of shrinking reimbursement revenue. Home health agencies that have earned recognition among the HomeCare Elite demonstrated that they not only can adapt to an evolving marketplace but continue to excel in clinical, patient experience, quality improvement, and financial outcomes," said Marci Heydt, product manager for the post-acute care business group of DecisionHealth.
The HomeCare Elite is the only performance recognition of its kind in the home health profession. The 2012 HomeCare Elite is co-sponsored by National Research Corporation (also known as OCS HomeCare), the leading provider of cross-continuum healthcare metrics and analytics, and DecisionHealth, the publisher of the industry's most respected independent newsletter Home Health Line. The data used for this analysis were compiled from publicly available information. The entire list of 2012 HomeCare Elite agencies can be downloaded by visiting the National Research Corp. website at www.nationalresearch.com.

He is an Air Force officer as well as an attorney from Oklahoma. Prior to assuming his current post he served as the Adjutant General of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Secretary of Military Affairs for the state of Oklahoma. In the best traditions of the citizen-soldier, General Wyatt maintained a private law practice until his election to the Oklahoma bench.
As director of the Air National Guard, General Wyatt is responsible for formulating, developing and coordinating all policies, plans and programs affecting more than 106,800 Guard members in more than 88 flying wings and 200 geographically separated units throughout the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands.[1]

He graduated undergraduate pilot training from Laredo Air Force Base, Texas on January 26, 1973.

A record breaking car once driven by speed king Sir Malcolm Campbell was fired up for the first time in more than 50 years today.
Staff at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, have spent the past seven years rebuilding the engine of the 1920 Sunbeam that forms part of its collection.
Spectators were handed earplugs to protect against the ear splitting roar made by the iconic car.
Lord Montagu, who bought the vehicle in the late 1950s was among those watching when the engine was started up for the first time since 1962.
The peer drove the Sunbeam on its last two public outings.
Sir Malcolm owned the vehicle in the 1920s and set new world land speed records at Pendine Sands in Wales.
He achieved a speed of 146mph in September 1924 and broke his own record at the same venue the following year after travelling at 150mph.
Sir Malcolm sold the famous car to Ralph Aspden in 1925 for just £250.

It actually is "Blue Gamma", after a type of grass, not a little old lady.
The cliff offers a lot of nice cracks. First timers at IC may appreciate that the lines are shorter, requiring less endurance and smaller racks. Still good stuff though.

|That named seemed more logical, but all the guidebooks and every web reference I've come across refer to it as "Blue Gramma", so I went with that. I don't know if it was originally named Blue Gamma and then became corrupted or what-not.

I always thought that it was originally named "blue gamma." As in gamma rays. Then it was nicknamed "my blue haired gramma" which eventually became "blue gramma."

A New SSE Instruction Set: AMD Announces SSE5by Ryan Smith on August 30, 2007 4:00 PM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
So what's so important about being able to use 3+ operands? In a word: MADD, Multiply-ADDition operations (aka multiply-accumulate/MAC), such as C=(A*B)+C. Matrix math is the cornerstone of data processing and image rendering, and one of the cornerstone operations in manipulating a matrix is multiplying two elements and adding them to a third, which would require 3 operands. Modern GPUs are MADD powerhouses, with their stream processors capable of processing a mind-boggling number of such instructions in a short period of time; being fast at MADD is one of the specialized tasks that makes a GPU so fast at its job.
Meanwhile x86 processors have no real MADD abilities, so any time a CPU is doing the kind of image manipulation work that would benefit from MADD, instead it is executing separate multiply and addition instructions (and sometimes more). It should come as no surprise that AMD's favorite/most-publicized part of SSE5 then are instructions using 3+ operands since fusing two instructions in to one can theoretically double performance in certain situations. Furthermore using such instructions can cut down on the number of register load/store operations needed, which can save yet more time.
AMD has provided us with an example of such a situation, with the code for a 4x4 matrix multiplication operation, one coded optimally in SSE3, the other optimized via SSE5. The SSE3 code requires 34 instructions, meanwhile the SSE5 code does it in 20. Now there is more to the performance of such a code segment than the number of instructions (so this example isn't necessarily 41% faster) since the time to execute and retire an instruction can vary depending on the instruction, but it doesn't negate the performance improvement offered by such code.
For actual performance numbers with SSE5, AMD has told us that they've found that a discrete cosine transform - an operation important for image and movie encoding - can be done 30% faster using SSE5 than SSE3. They have even more impressive numbers for encryption processing, with a 5x performance improvement possible on certain encryption tasks, although we suspect this case is more limited than their image encoding scenario. Either way the promise of other performance improvements is there, however this is going to heavily depend on how well programmers will be able to extract additional performance out of SSE5, and how good AMD's own optimized math libraries will be once those are released.
This also isn't taking in to significant account instructions that are not part of the MADD/MAC set. All of AMD's examples today deal with improvements due to those instructions, meanwhile we don't have a lot of information on the performance aspects of the permutation, vector, or precision instructions. We have no doubt that they'll be similarly useful, we just don't know to what degree at this point.
Finally, as we're always watching how the predicted merging of CPUs and GPUs is progressing, this is a notable time. Although AMD is not targeting GPUs specifically with SSE5, as we mentioned before GPUs are particularly fast at MADD operations and meanwhile SSE5 is providing CPUs a shot in the arm in that area. This won't kill (or even significantly maim) the GPU, but it is one less thing that the GPU advantage is shrinking in. As SSE iterations keep coming out and implementing features similar to DSPs and GPUs, they will keep chipping away at their side of the barrier between the CPU and the GPU until very little is left and the two become one.

tygrus - Friday, August 31, 2007 - linkSSE numbers/description becoming like model numbers. Confusing and virtually meaningless. Need CPU core with microcode to convert non-native SSE? instructions into sequence of native instuctions (micro-ops/macro-ops).
If that doesn't happen then the compilers may need to re-write the code sequences for target(s) at compile time or execution. Reply
yyrkoon - Thursday, August 30, 2007 - linkJust from what I have seen in the past, whenever AMD does something like this, Intel tries to seperate themselves by going a different direction, this is why I think Intel will rename their future instruction sets to something else.
If AMD and Intel were to actually work together on this, then maybe Intel would opt in on some of the better portions of the instruction set that enhanced their CPUs, but somehow I do not think this is the case.
I watch the Intel/AMD 'rivalry' from the outside looking in, and I see the Coke/Pepsi 'war' all over again. Little kids going so far as to pull an engine out of a new delivery truck, paint it another color other than blue, because that *is* their rivals colors . . . At what cost for your share holders ?

jeromekwok - Thursday, August 30, 2007 - linkI don't think of a good reason we should care this SSE5A, or should we call it 3dnow technically. AMD may gain back a few benchmark scores, but it is hard to get developers move from Intel compiler suites.
Do you guys feel the same. When the MADD goes thru the OOO, it should be decoded as MUL and ADD micro-ops. There should not be a big difference if we use two instructions MUL and ADD, which should get similar micro-ops. May be there is something AMD is weak at.

Do you guys feel the same. When the MADD goes thru the OOO, it should be decoded as MUL and ADD micro-ops.
Since muls have a very high latency compared to adds, and a dependency would exist between the ops, this would not be a good way to do things.
There should not be a big difference if we use two instructions MUL and ADD, which should get similar micro-ops.
The result is the same (obviously), but its slower and complicates scheduling for no logical reason. Compared to a multiplier, adders are very cheap. Reply

jiulemoigt - Thursday, August 30, 2007 - linkWell I wrote several versions but what it comes down to is I'm scratching my at the example as it looks like it was written by marketing without asking an engineer how to code it. The first can be written in half that many lines of code and more efficiently, it looks like vb code that was automatically translated by a very bad compiler. I've written code for both chips and generally hand coding will give code than four about four times faster but is not practical considering time constraints and the number of people that can write assembler code. Yet using instructions is supposed to speed up the rate code goes because the computer performs a series of instructions that have predefined procedures ie store data in A, store data in B, ADD A to B, repeat C times, return B, where as this looks like store data in A, store data in B, Add A,B store in C, return C, repeat with new numbers multiple times, go back and get data returned from C and store in A compare to data from pass two stored in B store result in C return C, get data just returned compare to data from pass three, store in C return C, get data just returned etc... with the second one using the location but still using a third location! Instead of ADD a,b with the result in B, return B to location 1, return B to loc2, then store loc 1 in A, loc 2 in B ADD A,B return B.
The interesting thing about the number of instructions in the example is that the time it takes to one instruction to complete is far different, as store statements are not equal to compare statements are not equal to ADD/MUL statements, the computer can do an ADD statement faster than it can find data on local cache let alone system memory. One of the reason graphic cards are so much faster at MADD tends to do with the data being right there, which is why graphic DRR is so much more expensive than system memory. and now AMD wants to join the slowest instruction with the fast ones? This is something people should be really wondering about since it kills prefetch as it is going to make the system wait for data with every pass including the ones that should be really fast. That suggests they are going to try and force the scheduler to get longer blocks of data like Intel did with its P4 which was a very bad design since branching logic is only so good, and every miss will cause the CPU to sit ideal, covering up misses with longer cycles.
Any way for the non-coders SSE takes low level code and packages chunks of code that can be pasted to the CPU as one chunk it knows what to do with. Usually this makes the chunks get processed faster as scheduler on the CPU takes the chunks as one piece and it all gets pushed through no waiting, only in this case it is forcing the CPU to be an in-order CPU for every instruction so coded, which is bad because normally it can crank through fast instructions ideal through slow ones, this will force it to ideal through many slow ones, as opposed to simply burning through the fast short ones, less ideal time fast the job gets done, but with everything waiting on store statements there will be an increase in ideal time, since it is easier to stack a bunch of small legos in a box than four bowling balls. Just think of store statements as getting the legos or the bowling balls to put in the box you may have to make more trips to get enough legos to fill the box but the trips are faster and if you get two many legos the amount that does not fit will be small where as that last bowling balls is a significant amount compared to what is in the box. Rough analogy but I'm supposed to be relaxing not thinking about work.
Oh and MMX when it first came out was a PR stunt and it was only about two years after being added that someone found a use for it, as kludge to simply coding for people who were not willing to do it right. 3DNow was just as bad SSE was the first set that was actually useful, when added to compiler to speed up certain repetitive tasks like encoding and rendering. Though this new set defeats the purpose of having all those new registers to use! Reply

My Nose Tip (Cartilagey Bit) Moves Around and Clicks Back into Place. Do I need a Septoplasty?
My Nose Tip (Cartilagey Bit) Moves Around and Clicks Back into Place. It's only started to happen recently (I'm 28) and has coincided with an increase in difficulty breathing through my nose, nose pain (bridge and "behind the nose", and a decrease in upper lip protrusion (not sure if related). I had been told a year ago that my septum is mildly deviated. What could be going on? Do I need a septoplasty?

{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
The only way to know if the nasal septum is truly deviated is by consultation and examination. Some patients have moderate deviation of the nasal septum and have no symptoms, so it depends on how much nasal obstruction patient's have as to whether or not they undergo a septoplasty procedure.

Superfund Site: CROSSLEY FARM
Superfund Site Profile
Read the latest Five-Year Review - September 2014
The 209-acre Crossley Farm site is located in a rural area in Hereford Township, Pennsylvania. A farm has been located on site since 1927. From the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, the Bally Case and Cooler Company disposed of numerous drums of liquid waste at the Site. These activities contaminated soil and groundwater with hazardous chemicals, specifically trichloroethylene (TCE).
In 1983, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (now called the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, or PADEP) sampled residential wells down-gradient from the Site and found that they were contaminated with various volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as Trichloroethylene. Due to the sampling results, the agency issued a warning to residents not to drink water from their residential wells and the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) provided temporary bottled water for the community.
Both public and private wells within four miles of the Site supply drinking water to an estimated 4,800 people. The closest private well is less than one mile from Crossley Farm.

Why Discontinued!!!I've been using this leave in conditioner for years to achieve the beachy hair look. It isn't going to make your hair stick straight like most leave ins do, but it will add an amazing texture, even to my thin, flat strands. It might not be enough umph for really thick and curly hair though. I stuck with this because it smells like walking into the ocean mist, and works well with the sister product...read more Beach Waves.

This is a 9000 sq.ft. home under construction near Chicago, Illinois. It represents yet another introduction of green technology. The entire outer shell of the home is being constructed of Insulated Concrete Forms. They are truly a premier form of both energy savings as well as comfort for the home owners. In the midwest, where the threat of extreme weather and potentially tornadic activity lingers, the strength of the home's structure is also paramount. The home is located close enough to a railroad that the owners also wanted the "quite" that this technology also offers. It effectively shuts out most exterior noise. It also allows a multitude of interior and exterior finishes without a need to modify the system to accomodate those finishes. It will also include special "hurricane style" structural strapping to make the home even more resistent to up lift from violent storms.

E. HOLMES DISTRICT -- When budget cuts eliminated a music teacher at Mount Hope Elementary School, the staff stepped up to ensure students there wouldn't go without.
"How can you be a child and not sing? You can't have a Mount Hope Christmas season without celebrating with music," said teacher Miriam Kratzer, who has taken on the job of providing music education for kindergarten-third grade.
"It's fun once a week to sing with the young children," she said. They sing songs about nature, the season, animals and folk songs, said Kratzer, who also incorporates music into her classroom.
So, too, does teacher Jane Livengood bring music into the academic world. She has created songs and chants to help students, among other things, learn multiplication and the parts of a letter. She plays music during down times and while students eat their lunches in the classroom.
"We've tried to fill the musical void, and I love the cooperation between teachers," said Livengood, whose own students are reading buddies to those of Kratzer, who loses educational time to teach music.
Paula Troyer, Title I and reading recovery, also uses music to reach students. Armed with a star-tipped wand she uses to point to colorful images on a chart, Troyer leads kindergartners on a chant through phonics.
They jump and wiggle and make exaggerated hand gestures as they, in unison, sound out the O-O-O of opera and the K-K-K of kissing kangaroos.
It's a simple concept, according to Principal Dan McKey. "Just about everyone learns their ABCs with a song."
Troyer, who also uses music to help older students memorize blends and diagraphs, said all students respond to different types of learning styles and music can be an effective one.
"Music and chanting and rhythm are great tools for educating and we have a lot of teachers that take advantage of that," McKey said.
"We're blessed to have music here. That's really important," Livengood said. "You have to look at students who are all at multiple intellectual levels. Some students learn in different ways. They don't all flourish in math. Some love music, and it's important to help them learn in a way that their body is made."
Acknowledging the void created by district cuts, McKey said, "I'm really proud of how the staff has pulled together to do it. I have several talented teachers who stepped up and other teachers stepped up to help them.
"Personally, I love music, and I'm glad we can have lots of good music in our school," he said.
That void became an opportunity for Bruce Hershberger, who teaches American and world history.
Hershberger plays several instruments and, this year, has started bringing them into school, working with students at recess to learn how to play lap dulcimers, the guitar and bass. He and two of his students accompanied the choral production during the school's Christmas program.
"We have a lot of musical talent in this building," said Hershberger, who said he's eager to see what the future holds for these and the next generation of students.
Jerry Schlabach works with the older student, with whom he equips photocopied music in colorful paper folders. The German and English tunes have their roots in a culture like that of the Amish. Some are sung in both languages, some are performed in rounds, with different sections of the room or boys and girls singing staggering parts.
"They're songs that would fit into the Amish culture," he said, explaining some are hymns and some are more contemporary.
He often lets the students pick what selections they sing and "Highway to Heaven" is constantly the most popular. Another favorite is "Closing My Eyes and Falling Asleep," written by a local girl and tells a relaxed version of the story included in the poem "Footprints In the Sand."
"I love music myself and I love singing," said Schlabach.
Another favorite is "Daddy's Hands," he said, noting students tend to be fond of "anything linked to the culture of strong family."

The head of India's federal investigative agency has been criticized for comments in which he appeared to suggest that if rape cannot be prevented, it can be enjoyed.
Speaking on a panel on ethics in sport late Tuesday, Ranjit Sinha, the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, used a rape analogy to explain his support for legalizing betting, which is largely outlawed in India.
Mr. Sinha told the audience that arguments against legalizing betting were "like, if you can't prevent rape, you enjoy it. So it's better to have something to legalize it and then earn some revenue."
His comments were widely reported (and misreported) in the Indian media who accused him of saying that rape was something that could be enjoyed.
For clarity of sorts, here are Mr. Sinha's comments in full, transcribed from this video clip of the event.
"I feel that, you know, if we can have lottery in the states, if we can have casinos at some of the tourist resorts, and if the government can declare schemes about volunteer disclosure of black money and then they can so what's the harm if we legalize betting? And above all, do we have the enforcement agencies?"
"Do we have the enforcement? It is very easy to say that if you can't enforce it, it is like if you can't prevent rape, you enjoy it. So it's better to have something to legalize it and then earn some revenue rather than throwing your hands up and let things happen…"

For sure, Mr. Sinha's comments were slightly convoluted and he may have been a victim of his own ineloquence on this occasion, but women's groups said this was no excuse for drawing comparisons with rape in the first place.
Mr. Sinha on Wednesday sought to clarify his remarks in a statement to The Wall Street Journal. The director, who has been in office for just under a year, said that his comments at the event were made in relation to a question about legalizing betting.
"I gave my opinion that betting should be legalised and that if the laws cannot be enforced that does not mean that laws should not be made," Mr. Sinha said in an emailed statement. "This is as erroneous as saying that if rape is inevitable one should lie back and enjoy it. Laws should be strictly enforced and absence of enforcement does not mean that laws should not be made. I reiterate my deep sense of regard and respect for women and my commitment for gender issues," he said.
The director later told a news conference that he regretted any hurt caused and it "was inadvertent and unintended."
India has been involved in a nationwide conversation about violence against women since the gang rape and murder of a young woman on a bus in Delhi in December. The crime, for which four men have been sentenced to death, spurred nationwide outrage and prompted changes in laws to safeguard women.
The National Commission for Women, a constitutional body, has sent a notice to Mr. Sinha asking him to explain his comments.
Shamina Shafiq, a member of the NCW, said the remarks were unfortunate — and shocking. "This shows the mindset in India of patriarchy in every strata of society," she said. "To talk so insensitively about an issue which women feel so strongly about, no matter what context it was said, was irresponsible. He is the director of the CBI; when any atrocity happens to a woman, she looks up to their machinery to help her," she added.
Ms. Shafiq argued that to use the language of rape, apart from to describe the crime, in an analogy or simile was inappropriate as it "crushed the souls" of those affected by the crime to hear it used so lightly.
In August, popular fiction author, Chetan Bhagat, aroused ire on Twitter when he described India's currency as having been raped. He deleted the tweet after many users on the social networking site pointed out that using the metaphor was inappropriate in a country that has witnessed a series of violent attacks.

Dear Dr. K: I often feel lightheaded when I stand up, especially first thing in the morning. Why does this happen?
Dear Reader: You are probably experiencing a drop in blood pressure when you stand up. This is called orthostatic hypotension. As a result, not enough blood reaches your brain, and you feel lightheaded or dizzy.
When you stand up, gravity pulls the blood down. This causes blood to pool in the lower half of our bodies and blood pressure to drop. If it drops enough, you'll have symptoms. Sensors in your major arteries signal your brain that your blood pressure has dropped. In response, the brain tells the heart to beat a little faster and stronger and blood vessels to constrict, which raises blood pressure. As a result, blood pressure and blood flow return more or less to normal.
But with age and certain medical conditions, these compensations may falter. The heart doesn't pump as well. Blood vessels get stiffer and less responsive. The sensors in the arteries become less sensitive, and the signals they send less effective. As a result, some people experience sizable drops in blood pressure when they stand up. (I've put an illustration on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)
Here are some things you should try:
· Take your time standing up. Move gradually from lying down to sitting to a standing position. This is particularly important at night (when you go to the bathroom) or in the morning when you awaken. That's when orthostatic hypotension is most likely.
· Try these maneuvers: Wiggle your toes and flex your feet before you stand up. This causes the muscles in your legs to squeeze more blood back up into your heart and to slightly raise blood pressure.
· Review your medications with your doctor and maybe make a change. Some drugs can trigger orthostatic hypotension or make it worse.
· Lift the head of your bed. Sleeping with your head higher than your feet keeps blood pressure higher. This causes your kidneys to release a hormone that increases blood pressure.
· Drink more fluids. Dehydration can cause blood pressure to drop.
· Perhaps increase your salt intake. Unless you have high blood pressure already, this is a good idea.
· Drink coffee in the morning. Caffeine boosts blood pressure.
· Exercise more. Improving your cardiovascular fitness through exercise may help the problem go away.
· Avoid straining. Straining to have a bowel movement or to pass urine (if you have an enlarged prostate) and coughing can cause blood pressure to briefly drop. Even laughing very hard can do it. Sometimes comedians really do leave the audience "rolling in the aisles." When people start to get lightheaded from laughing hard, they instinctively get down on the floor to avoid falling.
· Wear compression stockings. Special stockings that apply pressure on the lower half of the body can keep blood from pooling in the leg veins. This, in turn, increases blood pressure.

Monday rush on Sunday noon
All plans of a relaxed Sunday outing for many Delhiites ended in chaos due to the Congress rally in which 60,000 supporters participated.delhi Updated: Nov 05, 2012 00:24 IST
All plans of a relaxed Sunday outing for many Delhiites ended in chaos due to the Congress rally in which 60,000 supporters participated.
More than 1,500 police and 100-odd traffic personnel failed to manage the chaos that spilled on to the Capital's roads, especially in central and old Delhi. Police said serpentine queues of around 2,000 buses that brought about 60,000 Congress supporters — 45,000 made it to Ramlila Maidan — from Rajasthan, Haryana, UP and other areas led to huge traffic jams.
The situation worsened after the rally as the buses started moving back to pick up people. Roads around the venue and those leading to the nearby bus terminals and railway stations were the worst affected.
"There was unprecedented rush in the Metro. It looked like Monday peak hour rush," said Prateek Routela, a Dwarka resident.
On Vikas Marg, it took more than 30 minutes for commuters to cross the less than one-km from Yamuna Bridge. Police also had a tough time regulating traffic on a Sunday.
The Ring Road from Sarai Kale Khan to Raj Ghat and NH-24 was also choc-a-bloc.

It seems the rumors out of Indianapolis were true, as Colin Edwards' role at the NGM Forward team has come to awkward end. Officially "retiring early" Edwards will continue to ride for the team by "doing some wild cards," according to the team press release. The only round confirmed by the team is Silverstone, though Edwards says he will ride at Valencia as well.
"It has been a great weekend here at Indy with lots of support from the family, the friends and the team," said Edwards. "I'm not 100% certain about how many races I will do till the end of the season but for sure I will be in Silverstone, weather [sic] I will be racing or not."
"I have a big fans support there and I cannot miss this appointment. I am thinking about my future, the different possibilities. I'm happy and I look forward to the second part of my life," concluded the Texas Tornado.
