Cause for Hair LossQ: I'm 18 years and I used to have very thick hair but with the time my hair became very thin. When I wash it more than 50 hairs fall and that happens when I brush it. What can cause that? I wash my hair every 2nd day. Is that very often? May that cause hair loss? I have oily roots and dry ends and that is the reason that I wash it every second day. What is the solution for this?
A: While everyone loses around 40 hairs every day in the hair's natural growth and shedding cycle, it sounds as though you are experiencing something more significant in the amount of hair you are shedding. Most women report experiencing approximately 40% hair loss by the age of 60, but regardless of age, for a woman, dealing with hair loss is stressful and upsetting.
My first and strongest recommendation for you is to see your doctor. Take with you any photographs you might have that will illustrate the extent of your hair loss. And be sure to find out if any of the women in your family have experienced similar types of hair loss in their lifetimes, both on your father's and mother's sides of the family. Being prepared by having as much information as you possibly can before talking to your doctor will help him make better determinations regarding the potential causes for the loss, and will help him better determine whether the cause is hereditary (genetic), environmental, or medical (infection, or hormonal).
Here are some questions you should ask yourself so that you can have the answers ready for your doctor:
1. How long have you been noticing the hair loss?
2. Is the hair loss more prevalent in one or more areas of the scalp?
3. Have you noticed any increase in hair growth on other parts of the body/face?
4. Have you been taking any medications or dietary supplements, or were you suffering from any illnesses prior to noticing the loss of hair
5. Have you had any change in your environment prior to noticing the loss of hair, i.e. moved to a new location, new job environment, etc.?
6. Have you changed your diet prior to noticing the hair loss?
7. Are there any women (or men) in your family, whom have experienced similar hair loss?
8. Have you made any changes in your hair care routine prior to noticing the hair loss?
There are a lot of causes for hair loss among women. Some of these causes will typically have secondary symptoms that accompany the hair loss, such as redness, irritation, inflammation, sensitivity, and itchiness of the scalp, in addition to scaly and/or flakiness of the scalp. The problem could be as simple as an allergic reaction, an infection (though these almost always have other symptoms as well as the hair loss).
It could also be more complicated problems like alopecia or hormonal imbalance. These may or may not have secondary symptoms, and can be difficult to diagnose and treat. If your doctor is unable to offer you any help, or if you feel he or she is not taking your concern seriously, ask for a referral to a dermatologist, or find one on your own. A dermatologist's field of study is more specific to skin and hair and he or she should have more experience and be better acquainted with the type of problem you are having.
You asked specifically about the frequency with which you wash your hair (whether it is too often) and its relationship to the hair loss. I do want to at least calm your concerns about that. You should wash your hair often enough to keep your scalp clean. For some people daily shampooing is needed, while for others shampooing once a week may be enough. Unless you are experiencing a reaction to the products you are using to shampoo your hair, this should not cause your hair loss.
Your complaint of 'oily scalp and dry ends' is a common one. If shampooing every other day gives you the results you desire, you can feel free to continue that routine. However, I can offer you the following tips as well: You can use witch hazel on a cotton ball or cosmetic pad and apply it to your scalp to remove excess oils. Witch hazel is a gentle astringent that won't damage your hair. Also, if after you have shampooed and conditioned your hair you follow the warm water rinsing with a cool water rinse you will tighten the pores of the scalp and help reduce the production of oils for a time. This can help to reduce the oily scalp problem.
As for the dry ends, use a leave-in spray conditioner on the ends of your hair only before styling and you might also want to add a spray on anti-frizz shine enhancer to protect against heat styling damage and keep the ends of your hair looking shiny and smooth. (I personally use Infusium 23 leave-in conditioner and CitriShine Spray Laminator with my clients, who love the results.)

Intel has set up a Facebook page designed to induce casual users to sign up for a distributed computing project that runs on the BOINC client system. Now Facebook users can crunch away on any of three DC projects while playing Mafia Wars.
Read the whole story
no folding at home? I think that is the most worthy of the distributed computing projects out there for our processor time.
Smart move for Intel- good PR, wear out machines quick.
EDIT: the 3 shown won't utilize graphics cards, correct? but GPU-grid can be downloaded through the site?
This comment was edited by idontunderstand on August 04, 2009 22:00
Am I the only one who finds it humorous that people claim to fight global warming by running their computer 24/7?
I'm sure the research is meant to more than make up for the power consumption, but it's still funny.
I've been a distributed computing nut for a long time. I've never managed to wear out a machine yet, and I've got some machines running after 12 years. Sure, you will probably shave a little off the lifespan of the machine by running it at full load due to the extra heat, but are you really planning on using the same machine in 10 or 15 years time anyway?
No, those projects won't utilise graphics cards, but you can still attach to GPUgrid through BOINC, lots of details and help available in our forums here.
As for the initiative itself, I'm glad to see it as it's more publicity. However I think it's very much an intro to distributed computing and I'd strongly recommend that people use normal BOINC clients and join Ars Technica's teams :-)
We should be able to donate CPU to FB... gd that site is slower than dirt sometimes.
I think I'm one of the only people in the world who probably has never even BEEN to Facebook... and I'm proud of it!
Folding@Home does not use BOINC.
Will Intel pay for my electricity bill?....<I hear crickets>
Then it is really not sharing.
Make that two!
has distributed computing actually done anything other than consume boatloads of natural resources that keep these CPUs running at 100%? why would i want my cpu fan operating on high 24/7?
It's a charitable hobby at best. Some folks are into it.
I run F@H on my GPU during the winter so I don't have to turn on the heat
Sure. Rosetta@Home has used the cycles to improve their search algorithms, and have used it to find proteins for new drugs. Those proteins now have to be tested in the lab, which takes time. I think they also just now mentioned having another 4 or so papers about to be published. SIMAP@Home is a database used by researchers and kept up to date through distributed computing. LHC@Home used DC to simulate the design for the LHC that will fire up at the end of this year.
Folding@Home probably did the most with it, at least in terms of publishing papers and making them available... they published 69 papers: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Papers
Many projects seem to be in early stages, though, and deal with basic research. There's no way to know if they're headed in the right direction, but without DC, they wouldn't have the resources to even try it. Still, since we already paid for our computers, we might as well use them. Who cares if the processor lifetime drops from 15 years to 12 years - not going to use a processor for more than 5 years anyway. Graphic cards might die quicker (I don't know), but their prices also drop very quickly.
Sure, Intel, I'll donate the idle time on all my machines to one of these medical research projects as soon as the corporations making use of my computing time pledge to give the patents on any and all drugs or other products of that research to the Open Invention Network or a similar public patent collective. The world shares with you, you share back with the world.
If your answer is "These health issues are too important to quibble about patents", then presumably you and your partners won't mind forgoing the benefits of those patents.
I think just about every distributed computing project is based at a university and all the research is "open source," if you will. It gets published in journals and is usually not specific enough for a patent, even if someone wanted to patent it. It's mostly basic research and looking at why or how something happens.
edit: btw, I wonder why Intel didn't start up something like the World Community Grid that AMD is involved in. They have a good standard for informing people, there is a review process before a project can join the grid, and it's easily manageable from a website. The selection of projects is much smaller, but they do seem more professional than your average DC project. Not saying the others don't deserve to be around, but for a newcomer this might be a better start than ending up in one that often runs out of work.
As much CPU as FB and some of the FB apps use, there might not be much left over for the BOINC client.
You might consider joining World Community Grid then which is working on better solar technology. Through research, it might actually pay for your bill. Sure, you may pay more up front, but over the long haul you'll be partially responsible for saving millions. One person might not make a difference, but what if you get a million one persons?
I'm still working on a way to hook my machine up to the central air system. Then I really could heat the house.
"If you're among the 17 people who still haven't started a Facebook account"
Really? I just DELETED mine.
World Community Grid stared with proprietary IBM software, but has been using the same BOINC platform as the BOINC project intel is also supporting.
So Intel and AMD are on the same page.
Folding@Home DOES need a BOINC-friendly client, though.

Ten-run inning dooms Bulls in 13-5 loss
Rough night for USF baseball, as the Bulls came close to breaking a pair of Big East records you don't want to break in a 13-5 loss to first-place Connecticut in the next-to-last game at Red McEwen Field.
The Bulls (23-28) had a disastrous sixth inning, as relievers Joe Cole and Kyle Eastham combined to give up 10 runs -- all with two outs -- on 11 Huskies hits. The Big East record for runs in an inning is 12, set by Seton Hall against Georgetown in 1987. The Bulls nearly broke another conference mark, as they committed seven errors in the game, one off the Big East mark set by Georgetown against Boston College in 1990.
Starter Jimmy Moran, filling in for an injured Andrew Barbosa, only lasted to the fourth inning, but the Bulls led 4-3 entering the sixth. USF will start right-hander Andrew Salgueiro against the Huskies on Sunday as the Bulls bid farewell to the Red -- they're in fifth place in the conference standings with four games to play, with a spot locked up in the conference tournament in Clearwater on May 26-30.

Employment and sustainable development: education, training and R&D in the regulation of the labour market
"Employment and sustainable development: education, training and R&D in the regulation of the labour market" Ilona Kovács & Margarida Chagas Lopes Abstract Sustainable development has been considered in various discourses as the answer to the economic, social and ecological crisis. However, its principles are far from being implemented. The dominant model of society giving priority to financial capital and short term profitability in the context of globalization and market deregulation involves social disinvestment, increasing inequalities and exclusion, that is to say non sustainable development. We argue that sustainable development requires an orientation towards human needs, social and ecological sustainability and consequently a break with the prevailing model of society and learning and knowledge sharing within modern societies. In the first section we confront the "market driven work society", which is embedded in the neo-liberal paradigm with the alternative model of the "humanized work society", which aims to dignify work, enhance quality of working life and skills development. The next sections focus on long trend and new forms of labour market regulation and the role successively played by Education, Vocational Training and – desirably – Innovation in that regulation process . We stress that sustainable development imply an effective upgrading of work and skills, requiring adequate structural education, training and R&D policies.

Burger King Unveils New Fries with Fewer Calories, Less Fat
ABC Digital
Updated at
(NEW YORK) — Burger King is adding a new item to its menu on Tuesday: Satisfries.
The new French fries will be sold throughout the U.S. and will have fewer calories and less fat than regular fries. A small serving of Satisfries will have 270 calories and 11 grams of fat compared to a small serving of Burger King's classic fries, which contains 340 calories and 15 grams of fat.
Compared to McDonald's French fries, Satisfries are 30 percent less caloric and have 40 percent less fat, Burger King says.
The new fries will be made of mostly the same ingredients as Burger King's classic fries, but will have a "less porous batter to keep out more oil during cooking," reports the Wall Street Journal, citing Eric Hirschhorn, the chief marketing officer for Burger King North America.
To separate itself from Burger King's traditional fries, Satisfries will be crinkle-cut. The new food item will also cost BK customers about 25 cents more, according to the Journal, except in kids' meals.

In the past 25 years, we have seen an extraordinary boom in museum, memorial and monument building around the world. In this class, we will explore what this growth means to cultural practices of memory and global politics. We will explore questions posed by leading scholars in museum and cultural studies such as: Why is there a "global rush to commemorate atrocities" (Paul Williams)? Why do we live in a "voracious museal culture" and how does this impact our ability to imagine the future (Andreas Huyssen)? We look at museum history and recent museum controversies. We will analyze debates surrounding memorials and monuments. In addition to our work on institutions, we will also read a number of novels that claim to do the work of museums (Orhan Pamuk's The Museum of Innocence) and that interrupt processes of memorialization (Amy Waldman's The Submission).

Yeah I was watching the limited vids on Jersey Joe Walcott and just wondered how much greater he would have been as strictly a LHW. Not that he wasnt a great HW but it would have been the difference between being top 10 or 15 and being the man.

Here's what I found:
Same-day weigh-ins got tossed by the wayside back in 1983, when Eddie Mustapha Muhammad came in overweight for a light-heavyweight unification match with Michael Spinks. Back in the day, this was a legit superfight with all the attendant hoopla.
Spinks refused to go through with the fight, even after Eddie proposed just making it a nontitle go. Spinks was pissed because, as he said, he sacrificed and trained hard to make the weight, and if Muhammad couldnt bother to do the same, then screw it ...
The promoter, HBO, the alphabets and the commissions decided that in the future, all weigh-ins would be the day before, so that a cancellation like this would never happen again.
Another source:
After the Eddie Mustapha-Michael Spinks unification bout that didn't come off in 1983. Eddie weighed in at 180 & proposed they make it a non-title fight. Spinks told him where to go because he had sacrificed & lost the weight & felt Eddie should have also.
The fight was canceled & HBO & the Promoters were left holding the bag instead of raking it in for what was a super fight in it's day.
Shortly after that to protetct the promoters & networks the alphabets switched to day before weigh-ins for he "health" & "security" of the fighters.
Heres yet another report:
Published: July 22, 1983
Eddie Mustafa Muhammad issued an apology of sorts yesterday for the cancellation of his light heavyweight title bout against the champion, Michael Spinks, last week.
The bout was cancelled after Mustafa Muhammad refused to take off 2 1/2 pounds to make the 175-pound weight limit. ''I realize,'' the boxer said in a statement billed as an apology, ''that had I made an attempt at losing the weight, my status in the boxing world would not have deteriorated as it has.'' When questioned, however, the fighter sounded less than contrite. ''I don't regret what I have done because I am a man of principle,'' he said, ''but someone has to apologize.'
The fight between Griffith and Benvenuti was outdoors at Shea Stadium, and they both weighed in the day of the fight. Benvenuti weighed 160 pounds and Griffith weighed 155 pounds. There was inclement weather that afternoon, and the fight got postponed to the next day.
The next day, they made them weighed in again, and Benvenuti weighed 159¾! and Emile weighed 154!
Here's what I found out about the Mancini/Kim affair in 1982:
Just so you know, Kim had to struggle mightily to lose weight on the days prior to the bout with Ray Mancini so that he could weigh in under the Lightweight's 135 pound limit, or, as they say in boxing, "make weight". Prophetically, he wrote the message "kill or be killed" on his Las Vegas hotel room's mirror only days before the bout.
I do believe their were bouts before that that were a day before including:
Sean Curtin worked on the Illinois Commission in 1987 when Chapo Rosario fought Juan Nazario and the weigh in was the day of the fight.
However in December of 1982 when Ossie Ocasio fought Young Joe Louis the weigh in was the night before.
Curtin does think the overweight Mustafa Muhammad Eddie Gregory had a lot to do with weigh-ins the day before.

It slowly started being weaned out in the early to mid 80's though wasn't in full effect until the mid to late 80's. I think it's one of boxing's major problems actually and should be put back to what it was. Due to certain bodies, the ability to lose then regain massive amounts of weight allows them to drop down and gain unnatural advantages that have nothing to do with their natural size (ie. see Thomas Hearns; his natural size was an advantage but he weighed in exactly the same weight as his opponent on the day of the fight) advantage and any advantages in boxing skill.
It should be about the skill and any natural advantages they have in the same weight division. When one fighter can put on 20 pounds even though he's meant to be weighing in the same as his opponent at a certain weight limit it basically kills the entire point of weight divisions. When one fighter can fight at 147 yet weigh in for that 147 fight at 165 pounds it rather defeats the purpose of having the weight limit of 147 pounds. If you can't fight at 147 pounds then you shouldn't be there, you should be at 154, 160 or 168.
You get ridiculous fights like Gatti/Gamache which was for all intents and purposes a welterweight fighting a lightweight yet billed as two fighters in the same division. It does create an unfair advantage which should not have to be made up for by extra skills. Things should be equal when fighting in between weight limits. Then areas such as skill, speed, power and natural size and strength play the part they are supposed to. It's the entire reason weight divisions were put in place in the first place! To stop one fighter from fighting a guy 10, 15 pounds smaller. Great fighters don't necessarily need weight divisions but overall it's an incredibly important part of equal play sport which is being made a mockery of in today's boxing game.
You only need to look at certain fights today to see how wrong it can be. Nonito Doniare vs Someone Marquez was a classic example. Doniare was scary big compared to a genuine looking Flyweight and I doubt Donaire would have had any chance of getting to that weight without day before weigh ins with well over 24 hours to regain his strength and weight. He looked like a solid, natural lightweight fighting a solid, natural Flyweight and that's how it ended up....ie. with Marquez broken and beaten. It might have ended the same way but that's not at all the point.

House construction nationally is up 132% for the first four months of this year compared with the same period in 2013.
The details of the huge increase in the number of people starting to build houses come from the National Housing Construction Index.
The index gathers information from local authorities on planning applications and commencement notices posted with local authorities.
A commencement notice is a statutory requirement that has to be lodged with a local authority before a building project begins.
Building work has to begin within 14 to 28 days of the lodgement of the commencement order.
The details are published on the Link 2 Plans website, which lists every planning application at every stage in the country.
Managing Director of Link 2 Plans Danny O'Shea told RTÉ's Morning Ireland that planning applications are up 19% on the same time last year and commencements are up 132% year-on-year nationally.
In Westmeath alone there has been a 538% increase in commencement notices compared to the same time last year, albeit from a very low base.
Mr O'Shea said his company spotted a definite upward trend in the last four months of 2013 and they anticipated an increase in the first few months of this year.
The rise is due in part to "pent-up demand" and increased economic confidence but the main push is probably due to the change in building regulations that came into effect from 1 March, according to Mr O'Shea.
The building regulations added some extra costs to projects and require more oversight and sign-off by professionals.
Mr O'Shea said that the regulatory change has had a "considerable if not seismic effect" on housing construction activity, greater than any change in the Budget in October.

If the photos present in our digital camera's memory card get deleted accidentally, what would we do in such a helpless situation? Thankfully, there is a simple solution to this problem. You simply need to take some precautions and use a software that recovers the deleted photos. But first, we should understand the logic of what happens to the files when we confirm the delete action.
Deleted Files in the Data Storage Device
We generally have a thinking that once the photos or any other data is deleted from their respective folders and also from the recycle bin, it is completely deleted. There are many ways in which files get deleted; such as accidental deletion of the files, accidental formatting of the memory stick, the memory card goes corrupt or unreadable, or similar other reasons. No matter how the photos are deleted from the computer's hard drive or the camera's memory stick, surprisingly, the files are still there, unless they are not overwritten by new data.
When photos or any type of data accidentally gets deleted from the memory stick or the hard drive, the space on which the data was stored is not wiped off completely. That space is tagged as 'available' for other replacement data to get stored in its place. When the system finds such space, it overwrites and store other data on it. At this point of time, the computer will not recognize the deleted data, though it is kind of stored in the data storage device. If new data overwrites the deleted data space, then unfortunately your data is in no way recoverable.
Recovering Deleted Photos from a Memory Card
If you have accidentally deleted photos from the memory card of your digital camera and want to recover them, make sure you do not use the memory card further for storing any more pictures. Remove it from the camera or camera phone, and keep it in a secure place for data recovery. You will need a file recovery software for getting back your image files. You can download free or trial versions of such applications from the Internet, or purchase them from the computer shop.
Install one such software on your desktop or notebook computer by following the setup instructions. For starting the data recovery procedure, you will have to use a memory card reader. Insert the memory stick into the card reader and connect the card reader to the PC. If you are using a laptop computer which has a card reader, you can directly insert the card into the slot. Run the data recovery application and follow the guidelines for finding the data.
Typical steps of using the data recovery software includes opening the software's interface, locating the card reader and the memory card in it, setting the destination folder where the recovered files are to be stored, and giving the 'recover' command. If you are thinking how to recover deleted photos from computer hard drives, the same procedure is to be used, but by locating the disk drive where the photos were deleted from.
If you corrupt a memory card or a hard drive and want to recover deleted photos or any other data, you should immediately use the above mentioned procedure. Just make sure that the storage drive from where the data is to be recovered is not used until you do not get your lost data back.

Firsts: On Friday we hooked our first sailfish of the year in 33 feet of water. This is not common, but it does occur during the spring as bait schools migrate to shore, luring in rogue species such as this billfish. We also caught our first blackfin tuna of the season last week. It was near a wreck in 70 feet. Numerous flying fish were in the vicinity, which is often a sign of tuna.
Deeper water: Offshore in 100 feet and deeper we noticed a migration of large mangrove snapper. A lot of gag grouper have also been released at these locations. These occurrences are signs of spring migrations. We are still waiting for better red grouper fishing. It has been uneventful in depths of 80 to 90 feet.
Kings: Many believe kingfish migration has been lackluster. The hope is that a more pronounced migration is headed our way soon. Average catches have been coming in from 80 feet and shallower. We have been getting most of our kings in the spots where we catch our baitfish, between 30 and 60 feet.

Pastor / Church Codependency
Chris at "The Amplified Life" (Isn't that a great blog title?) has written a very good article called "Neil Cole on Dysfunctional Leadership."
He quotes from Cole's book Organic Leadership, and the quote is very good.
But, I also appreciate Chris' comments on the quote. Chris writes:
According to Cole leaders have enabled this and now we wonder how we got here. We can blame the culture, and many leaders often do because that's the easy thing to do, but according to this assessment the fault lies with how church leaders have been leading the church. We have fostered a codependent relationship and we struggle to break free from what we have fostered. I think this may account for what I brought up in another post about the role of the pastor today. Pastors have essentially taken on roles that were meant for other Christians but our codependent leadership dynamic has allowed this to happen, then we wonder why thousands of pastors leave the ministry each year.
I agree. There is a codependence problem between many churches and church leaders today. Interestingly, believers do need one another, and they should be able to rely on one another, but this is not what Chris (and Neil Cole) are talking about.
I think it will take both church leaders and churches working together to break this cycle of codependence. The problem is, I'm not sure many want to break their codependent relationship, because they think it's perfectly fine and even scriptural.
What do you think? What will it take for churches and pastors/leaders to break the codependency that Chris wrote about? Should they?

I agree, as well! Often, as I have been in conversation with others, the issue has arisen.
My own thought is that there is no man alive who is able, much less be equipped, to satisfactorily fulfill the role expected of those we designate as pastors.
Thanks for linking to my post. This is also something personal for me as I pastor a fairly traditional church but I see things in scripture and see how we do things that are not lining up with one another. I think in my situation it will need to be a gradual shift guided by much prayer in hope that the Holy Spirit will work in the heart of myself and others.
My take on the matter is that we have combined the Eph.4 APEST functions and turned them into this person referred to as PASTOR. What was intended by the H.S. as shared leadership based on giftings is now assumed by people we refer to as pastors. What they really are though are super-pastors in that the role has greatly expanded beyond what was originally intended. That's why it takes so much education and preparation to be a pastor. A lot is expected!
I think the cycle would be broken by a fuller revelation of Christ as a body of many members. Codependancy is good when it is fostered by a need to be among all of the members of the body because we need to be a diverse unit of ministering gifts.
Yes, I think a gradual approach is best.
While thousands of Pastors drop out from exhaustion and discouragement, and tens of thousands of Christians give up on church altogether.
Slow. You know, like we use to overcome other addictive practices that harm our (and those around us) ability to be more and more conformed to the image of Christ.
Perhaps start by reducing your porn addiction by 2% a week. Introduce other visual materials (let others begin to participate in their normal role), like a book or magazine or a blog. Maybe one subscription to a newspaper and one rss feed from a blog–they could use the income/traffic. You'd be off porn in a year!
Maybe that's way too fast, all that in one single year. It's probably more realistic to have it take 4 or 5 years to wean ourselves away. And don't everyone do it at the same time, because it could cause widespread job and monetary loss throughout the industry.
The money side isn't the only issue, but it can be a barrier to consider God's way. We should set up a fund to train displaced Porn workers and distributors and to purchase glasses for those addicts who strained their eyes over the years and gum memberships so they can get back in physical condition after all those years sitting and watching.
I'm so not for incremental change (but, that already showed?).

A Seasonal Life, A Short History of Herding, and the Art of Making Cheese
Goat Song
A Seasonal Life, A Short History of Herding, and the Art of Making Cheese
Goat Song tells about what it's like to live intimately with animals who directly feed you. As Kessler begins to live the life of a herder -- learning how to care for and breed and birth goats -- he encounters the pastoral roots of so many aspects of Western culture. Kessler reflects on the history and literature of herding, and how our diet, our alphabet, our religions, poetry, and economy all grew out of a pastoralist milieu among hoofed animals.
Kessler and his wife adapt to a life governed by their goats and the rhythm of the seasons. And their goats give back in immeasurable ways, as Kessler proves to be a remarkable cheesemaker, with his first tomme of goat cheese winning lavish praise from America's premier cheese restaurants.
In the tradition of Thoreau's Walden and Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Goat Song is both a spiritual quest and a compelling and beautiful chronicle of living by nature's rules.

Dale Jr.'s Daytona 500 triumph still resonates
February 22, 2014, David Caraviello, NASCAR.com
RELATED: Delay at Daytona | Daytona 500 Race Center | Full lineup
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Did it really all happen 10 years ago?
Difficult to believe, given how vividly the details still stand out. That red and white car with the No. 8 on the side, pulling away over the final 20 laps. The vehicle spinning through the infield grass and parking at the start/finish line. The driver sitting on the ledge of his window opening, facing the crowd and thrusting his arms skyward before being swallowed by a tide of crewmen sprinting over from pit road. The President of the United States, who earlier in the day had given the command to start engines, calling to offer congratulations.
A decade ago? Really?
"You never forget exactly what that day is like," Dale Earnhardt Jr. said of his Daytona 500 triumph in 2004. "We come here every year and it all floods back to you as soon as you come back for Speedweeks each season. It's very fresh, and you're constantly reminded, I think, by just what goes on during Speedweeks, how important that victory is and how much you would like to get it again. It's definitely fresh."
And yet, not even NASCAR's most popular driver can halt the unstoppable march of time. Indeed it was 10 years ago when Earnhardt scored -- to this point -- his lone win in the Great American Race, a watershed moment for someone who carried the weight of expectation and family history along with him each time he slid behind the wheel. Driving one of the best restrictor-plate cars in recent memory, battling a string of mishaps that had denied him victory, competing in the inescapable shadow of his father's triumphs and tragedy on the same 2.5-mile track -- it all reached a crescendo in 2004, when Earnhardt Jr. at last broke through and recorded the biggest victory of his career.
Given all that, the emotion that followed was inevitable. As Earnhardt dropped his window net and gave a thumbs-up to the crowd, crew chief Tony Eury Jr. fought back tears in a television interview. Crewman Jay Guarneri, who now works for Danica Patrick's team at Stewart-Haas Racing, was the first member of the Dale Earnhardt Inc. crew to embrace the driver in what quickly became a group bear hug. Later in the press box, Earnhardt told the media that he felt his father -- who had won his own Daytona 500 six years earlier to the day, and had perished in a final-lap crash at the same facility in 2001 -- had been riding along with him.
It was joy, wistfulness and relief all rolled into one. It's easy to forget now, but to that point Earnhardt Jr. had battled the perception that he wasn't mature enough or focused enough to be a serious contender at NASCAR's top level. Among the fan base, there was talk of too many magazine covers, too many MTV appearances, too many parties in the basement bar known as Club E. His Daytona 500 victory was the beginning of the end of all that, kicking off a six-win season that remains one of the best of his career.
"I think anytime you win at Daytona it's special, but I think for him, with the memory and the history of his family, it was definitely special," said Richie Gilmore, chief operating officer at Earnhardt Childress Engines who was an executive at DEI a decade ago. "But I do think it took pressure off him. He was kind of following his dad's footsteps a little bit -- he was winning everything here, the Shootout, the 150s, and not getting that win in the 500. ... And then we came back and won that race in 2004, and that took pressure off him. You could see it, from just the media side and getting that behind him. It was a big load."
Indeed, entering 2004, Earnhardt Jr. had built a litany of frustration at Daytona that was beginning to resemble that of his father, who weathered 20 years of close calls and mishaps before winning the Great American Race. In 2002, Earnhardt Jr. had one of the strongest vehicles in the field until running over a piece of debris from teammate Michael Waltrip's car and shredding a tire. In 2003 he looked unstoppable, winning what is now the Sprint Unlimited, his qualifying race and the NASCAR Nationwide Series event, putting himself in position to become the first driver ever to sweep Speedweeks -- until a faulty alternator drained his battery in what proved a rain-shortened Daytona 500.
The next season, though, the stars finally aligned. Earnhardt was edged by Dale Jarrett in the season-opening exhibition, but won his qualifying event and once again asserted himself as the driver to beat in the 500. On race day the atmosphere was charged by the presence of George W. Bush, the first sitting president to attend a NASCAR event since Ronald Reagan had been in Daytona for Richard Petty's 200th career victory in 1984. Air Force One swooped down over the backstretch to land at an adjacent airport, and amid a notable security presence, the commander in chief gave the order to start engines.
This time there were no mishaps, and with 20 laps remaining Earnhardt surged past Tony Stewart to the front. "It was just a matter of time," Stewart, still looking for his own Daytona 500 victory, said that day. "When he decided he was ready to go, he went." Earnhardt stayed out front for the rest of the race, taking the checkered flag before a jubilant sellout crowd. The Earnhardts became the third father-son combination to win the Daytona 500, following Lee and Richard Petty and Bobby and Davey Allison. For good measure Earnhardt Jr. went out and claimed the rain-postponed Nationwide race the next morning.
But it was the 500 that had everyone buzzing, including the champion. "I wanted to come down here and win," Earnhardt said that day. "Maybe all those things that happened in the past is what made us work harder, to try to win this race more than any other. I'm not ashamed to say I put more emphasis on coming down here and winning this race, just because of what I've been through down here."
Perhaps no one would have understood that more than his father, who placed his own emphasis on restrictor-plate races even though there were just four each season. The Intimidator and car owner Richard Childress had made plate racing their specialty, fine-tuning superspeedway cars months in advance, and compiling a record of success at Daytona and Talladega Superspeedway as a result. When the elder Earnhardt formed his own team, he carried that same importance with him -- and built DEI into a restrictor-plate powerhouse no team has been able to replicate since. The foundation of Earnhardt Jr.'s Daytona 500 victory was his father's unshakable belief that restrictor-plate races were the events that mattered most.
Between 2001 and 2004, Earnhardt Jr. and Waltrip combined to win an astounding 11 of 16 points races on plate tracks. "Counting qualifying races and 500s and 400s, the (finishes at Daytona) are staggering," Waltrip remembered. "It's like 1-1-1-2-1-3. They're numbers that you just don't see. And the reason behind all that, in my opinion is, that's Dale. He knew the importance of a fast car at Daytona, and that was the culture he built at DEI. We were going to have the best speedway cars, and anything else was unacceptable. When he left us, everybody just took that to heart."
How did they do it? This was the era before the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, after which the focus of many teams shifted more toward the final 10 events of the season. Gilmore said DEI had a dedicated restrictor-plate program, which not every team did. And Earnhardt, Childress and fellow team owner Andy Petree were ahead of their time in forming a technical alliance -- known as "RAD," combining the first initials of the three men involved -- to share aerodynamic information. Although such things are commonplace in the garage today, a coalition like RAD was a groundbreaking concept in the early 2000s.
"It was almost, at that time, like some of the mega-teams do now," said Petree, now an analyst for ESPN. "You see Hendrick now has a relationship with Tony Stewart. They bring all that stuff in‑house. So they're doing a little bit of that now, but back then we were really the biggest game in town when it came to aerodynamic development, and DEI, they applied it probably better than most. … I think that was a big part of it, and they had the other pieces of the puzzle that really enhanced their effort, I think mainly in the engine department."
And then there were the drivers involved. "No matter where they were on the race track, they found each other and were dedicated to each other," Gilmore said of Earnhardt Jr. and Waltrip. "We put all those things together, and it was such a dominant force when we came to Daytona and Talladega. No matter what differences we had as a company, those two were teammates no matter what. And they stuck together, and it was unreal."
The connection was instinctive. "During that whole run, Dale Jr. and I never sat down and said, 'All right, what's the plan?' And I'm not exaggerating. We never had one conversation," Waltrip remembered. "We knew that we knew how to get to the front, and we knew that when we got to the front, what our responsibility was. And we just did it. ... There was no plan for us. We just winged it."
Earnhardt Jr.'s 2004 campaign represented DEI at its peak. But in a sport where the competitive balance is constantly in motion, no organization can stay on top forever -- and indeed, Hendrick Motorsports took the lead in the restrictor-plate game beginning the next season, while DEI eventually fragmented amid a power struggle. Earnhardt joined the Hendrick organization in 2008, but has yet to recapture the magic on plate tracks that he enjoyed at DEI. Although he's finished second in the Great American Race in three of the past four years, Earnhardt hasn't won a plate event since that 2004 season, when he followed his Daytona triumph with one at Talladega in the fall.
"He hasn't lost anything as far as his ability to race these restrictor plates," said former crew chief Larry McReynolds, now an analyst for FOX Sports, "... but we have so many more drivers today that I think are truly good restrictor-plate racers."
Indeed, "it's so hard to win in this sport, and we're all so close together. I can't say it's surprising," Roush Fenway driver Greg Biffle said of Earnhardt's drought. And in fairness, Earnhardt has remained a perennial contender at Daytona, his savvy in the draft evident each time his No. 88 car competes on the high banks, his confidence still strong each time he drives through the tunnel. He led 14 laps in his qualifying race Thursday, and will start ninth in the Daytona 500.
"Nothing to be ashamed of," Earnhardt said of his recent record. "I still feel like that we run well enough at these tracks for me to continue to come into them with confidence, and just in myself regardless of the car. I still feel like I do restrictor-plate races well, understand how the draft works rather well, and enjoy racing at them. You know, I hope that is always the case. It's a different challenge every time you come back, and that makes it enjoyable."
For the time being, though, it's that 2004 victory that continues to stand out. It was one of those special days at Daytona, and it continued up in the press box during the winner's media session, when Earnhardt was unexpectedly handed a cell phone. On the other line was President Bush, who had left the track just past the halfway point of the event. Earnhardt casually chatted with the leader of the free world as a few hundred reporters eavesdropped on one end of the conversation. "Most exciting race of my life," Earnhardt told the president. "Glad to see you today. Take it easy."
And with that, all the misconceptions about the younger Earnhardt -- that he didn't take his career seriously enough, that he lacked focus, that he was resigned to battle the same demons at Daytona his father once did -- vanished into the Florida night. The Dale Earnhardt Jr. who finished that Daytona 500 was not the same driver who started it, and even 10 years later, the emotions generated by his biggest career victory still feel familiar today.
"I had a lot of satisfaction, a lot of relief, and a lot of pride," Earnhardt remembered. "Certainly, definitely walked around with my chest out for a while. And you still carry that with you after all these years. That will last forever. You never forget about it."

NEW YORK (Dec. 30)
Two major Orthodox organizations, the Rabbinical Council of America (RCA) and the Religious Zionists of America. (RZA), stated today that they have received letters from Yitzhak Rafael, who was Israel's Minister of Religion until Premier Yitzhak Rabin dismissed the National Religious Party ministers from his Cabinet, denying that he ever gave his approval to Conservative rabbis to perform marriages in Israel.
A report earlier this month in one Israeli newspaper stated that Rafael had told the Independent Liberal Party that he would not oppose marriages by Conservative rabbis but asked that his feelings be kept secret so as not to antagonize Orthodox circles. The report also stated that the government announced on Dec. 1 that Conservative rabbis will be allowed to perform marriages in Israel.
David Zucker, president of the World Council of Synagogues, the international organization of Conservative congregations, said on his return from the Council's biennial convention in Jerusalem last month that he welcomed "this positive step toward our objective of full and equal rights for our rabbis in Israel."
Rabbi Walter S. Wurzburger, president of the RCA, had written to Rafael to confirm the report. In response to the inquiry, Rafael, in a letter to Wurzhurger, stated that this matter never came up, that at no time did he discuss this issue with the ILP nor had be at any time made a statement indicating approval of Conservative marriages. Rafael added that permission to perform marriages is not granted by the Minister of Religious Affairs but by the local rabbinate and the Chief Rabbinate.
Rabbi Louis Bernstein, president of RZA, declared. "The entire story of the Conservative rabbinate being recognized in Israel is a total hoax." He said the letter from Rafael to his Inquiry about the same report confirmed what the RZA knew earlier "because recognition to rabbis who do not reside in Israel to perform marriage is granted on an individual basis. Even an Orthodox rabbi must receive permission from the Chief Rabbinate and the local rabbinical authorities."

NEW YORK – November 28, 2012 – NBC Sports Group, in its first season in partnership with Major League Soccer, experienced tremendous growth among viewers and across key male demos. For the 2012 MLS season, NBC Sports Group presented 41 regular season games – three on NBC and 38 on NBC Sports Network.

The inaugural season of MLS on NBC received critial acclaim for its production and talent. NBC teamed veteran play-by-play voice Arlo White, who Sports Illustrated called "a gem," with former MLS and U.S. National Team player Kyle Martino. Martino was positioned "between the benches" and not in the booth with White, which provided fans with unique field level insight in addition to game analysis.
The Tampa Bay Times said, "NBC Sports Network's coverage looked great and sounded even better with Kyle Martino between the benches."
Soccer America said NBC Sports Network's soccer telecasts, "brought a crisp, professional sheen to the telecast, utilizing replays smartly and not cluttering up the telecast with bizarre camera placements or in-game fluff interviews."

Mumbai, India • European stock markets rebounded Friday after slumping on worries about the soundness of a bank in Portugal, while trading in Asia was muted over the specter of more financial turmoil in Europe.
Markets worldwide had fallen Thursday because of jitters about the financial stability of Portugal's Espirito Santo International, which reportedly missed a debt payment this week and was cited for accounting irregularities, echoing issues that sparked Europe's debt crisis four years ago.
Germany's DAX was up 0.1 percent to 9,666.12 and the CAC-40 in France rose 0.5 percent to 4,320.68. The FTSE 100 in London gained 0.3 percent to 6,688.79.

Of note: A consensus top 150 defensive end/outside linebacker in the country, Leiataua committed to Stanford earlier this month after taking trips to Wisconsin and Washington State. Cardinal head coach David Shaw called him with the news that he was admitted, but he won't enroll until 2016 when he's done with his Momon mission. Leiataua has a 4.2 GPA, just like Seattle Seahawk and Don legend Richard Sherman, and he's the first player to go from Dominguez to Stanford since Sherman.

FCAT ideas
The Florida Coalition for Assessment Reform isn't sitting around waiting for the Department of Education and the Governor's Office to announce publicly how they plan to salve the growing concerns over the FCAT in the wake of recent revelations about test scoring problems. No. The advocacy group has jumped right in with its own set of recommendations, sent to Gov. Crist and Commissioner Blomberg this morning. Then the group sent the letter to the media, essentially trying to hold the state's feet to the fire on its promise of openness and transparency.
FCAR proposes that the department conduct hearings around the state, investigate all FCAT scores and not just the 2006 third-grade reading results in question, and publish all "relevant documents" about how the test is designed, constructed and administered. They've even enlisted Bob Schaeffer of FairTest, an organization that opposes high-stakes testing, as a co-spokesman for the effort. We've put in calls to get a response from the state officials. We'll let you know when we hear anything.

The front of the trade card features a black and white drawing of two or three boys and one girl poking their heads through a die cut wooden fence, while another boy reaches through a different hole and reaches for the Armour ham that one boy holds. A package of Armour bacon is on the ground, and a child's wagon is nearby, labeled Armour Bacon. The company logo is in the upper left corner of the card, reading Armour & Co. Packers Chicago. The back of the card features the same scene, but viewed from the opposite of the fence. In addition to seeing child's heads poking through the fence, there are two boys wrestling over a can of Armour Vegetole.

''A daredevil is the exact opposite of what I am,'' Philippe Petit was saying yesterday, sounding very French but a little tired, having recently walked across Broadway, 12 stories off the ground, on a steel cable as thick as your thumb.
''I am a professional high-wire artist. I never take a risk. I want to live to be very old.''
Mr. Petit is the self-proclaimed rebel poet and aerial performer who walked across a metal wire strung between the twin towers one August morning in 1974. These days, he is relaxing from a less dangerous, but equally grueling, feat. He has written a book.
His memoir of his stroll between the World Trade Center towers, ''To Reach the Clouds,'' was published this month. Lately he has been traveling up and down the East Coast, appearing on radio and television (the walk across Broadway was on the ''Late Show With David Letterman'')and at public readings to discuss his exploits as well as the crushing blow dealt him -- and millions of others -- when the buildings he knew so intimately collapsed.
''I would like to remember them in their beauty and their excellence,'' he said. ''It was like losing some alive part of me.''
There was a reading yesterday at the Museum of the City of New York, and Mr. Petit entertained the crowd by informing them he used a bow and arrow to shoot a nylon line from one tower to the other in order to thread his cable through the air. He delighted in telling his fans that all of this was highly illegal, of course, dipping frequently into a bag of fine Gallic phrasework to say things like, ''It is a theen line between dream and nightmare,'' and, ''The sky eez my domain.''Continue reading the main story
He is a compact, eloquent man of 53, with a long nose, wavy hair, a passionate loathing of technology and more than 500 arrests for street juggling.
He is also a sleight-of-hand magician who specializes in card tricks and an unabashed Luddite who is now building a barn upstate using only tools and materials from the 18th century.
Although he held the world height record on the high wire at the time of his walk, Mr. Petit has no respect for the Guinness Book.
''It is ridiculous to live life trying to outdo your neighbor,'' he said. ''So you can eat 12 pig's eyes in one minute? These records are silly sometimes and sometimes even stupid.''
He hopes to make his next high-wire walk across the Little Colorado River Gorge in the Grand Canyon, which is 1,200 feet across and 1,600 feet deep. He is already working with the Navajo Nation, which owns the land, but he needs more money.
''An angel, I think it is called,'' he said like a man casting a baited hook. ''It will be my masterpiece.''
The few dozen people who came to hear him read were an enthusiastic bunch, clapping and hooting when he took the podium. They were students, old ladies, Harley riders, young girls who stared at him with dewy eyes and at least one man who had helped build the towers 30 years ago.
His name was Steven Horowitz, and he was an electrical engineer. Mr. Horowitz asked Mr. Petit to sign a copy of his book and presented him with a panoramic shot of the two blue columns of light that formed a brief memorial to the towers.
''It's tough to look at that,'' said the man who is not a daredevil.
Mr. Horowitz agreed. ''It's very tough.''Continue reading the main story

All i want is PS3 and PS2 backwards compatibility on the PS4.

All i want is PS3 and PS2 backwards compatibility on the PS4.
I'll just use my PS3 or PS2 to play PS1 games if i want.
I really doubt we will see traditional BC on ps4.
A BC based on streaming is quite likely though.
Sure they'll be no backwards compatibility on the PS4. The PS3 still has plenty of life in it. Sony said it would have at least a 10 year life cycle and they'll still be good games developed for it over the past couple of years. Backwards compatibility is pointless. If you want to play older games, get your older console out.
Someones conceited.
I think I should switch the title of this thread lol...
the PS4 wont need backwards capability to play PS3 games. i never played PS2 games on my launch ps3
not surprised by the amount off times this has came up since 2010/2011
I got to switch the title lol..
The point of the thread isn't exactly about Backwards Capability. Sony needs innovate to inspire the rest of the gaming world a way that no one will need backwards capability. The exact way Sony decided, you buy PlayStation All Star Battle Royale for the ps3, you should get the Vita version downloadable or vice versa. Digital download may have its negative side, atleast you won't have to worry pulling out any older console.
Think Sony would be making a HUGE mistake if they don't make PS4 backwards compatible. It has taken me years to build my collection of games, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that can't afford to start all over again. There is also talk of new games exclusively linking with your console, so used games would become a thing of the past. Sony needs to wise up, and pay more attention to what the consumers want, or I don't see the new consoles selling very well.
that really sucks, but they are doing a good job with put some good PS one and two game in the PS store
see to be honest, i really do not care if it has the ability or not
I will buy the console and play games simple as
Its not that of a big issue for me, im fine with the absence of the backward compatibility.

I am not a lipstick wearer. For the longest time, I have always felt that lipstick was not for me, most notably red lipstick. While I have often admired the look of red lips on the Fashionistas- I have most notably convinced myself that
Featured articles
So, a few weeks back, over on Twitter (you following me over there?) I was chatting up a few beauty bloggers about red lipstick and how I stick to my fabulous glosses- keeping the focus on my eyes!
Maybe I am scared, jaded, or frustrated OR hate the idea or having to reapply throughout the day, whatever it is, Red Lipstick and I have been in a war over my lips.
Enter in Hope Parker. She challenges me to a few lipsticks from Avon– swearing she can find me a color I love. After sending me a handful of samples to play with and open for any challenge, I happily oblige her, and this is the end result:
Look 1: Regal Red
Look 2: Perfectly Natural
Look 3: Plum Wine
Look 4: Bronze
Look 5: Cranberry
Look 6: Berry Bloom
The lipsticks were quite moisturizing and bold in their individual statements.
So that I would not be BIAS, I elicited my family (lil sister's Karaoke Birthday party yesterday) and they settled on a winner.
Vocal as they were, I am reaching out to you!
Which RED LIPSTICK do you like? Which do you hate?
Based on your votes, I will attempt a day in RED!

Paz Vega and husband Orson Salazar have revealed to Hola! magazine that they are expecting baby no. 3 in September! Though the couple had always planned on having more children, they admit that the news was unexpected.
"It's a surprise," says the 34-year-old Spanglish star. "This baby came a bit soon, but we're thrilled and happy."
Just thirteen weeks along, Paz says she wanted to wait until the end of her first trimester to share the exciting news: "Ava's birth was very recent," she explains. "And I have had two c-sections."
Paz and Orson, who are already parents to son Orson, 2 ½, and Ava, 7 ½-months, are already trying to think up baby names: "Orson prefers a boy," shares the soon-to-be mom-of-three. "Personally I have always liked boys, but if it's a girl, marvelous, because I was raised among women."
Congratulations to the Vega-Salazars!
