text: Marrakech Information When you visit Marrakech Destination Routes Facts The City Do & See Dining Essential Information A medieval city of drama, myth and mystery, Marrakech will captivate all who venture behind its ochre-coloured walls. Step inside and you will be transported back to a place and time that has been consigned to the annals of history. The winding alleys of the medina and the sights and sounds of the souks, the human drama that is Djemaa el-Fna square and the Atlas Mountains rearing up in the background, make Marakech, Morocco's jewel in the crown. Facts Population 1,060,000 Currency Moroccan dirham (MAD) 1 dirham = 100 centimes Opening hours Banks: 08.30-11.30 and 14.30-16.30 Mon-Fri.

The city divides into two highly contrasting districts. The medina, founded by the Almoravids nearly 1,000 years ago, and the Ville Nouvelle, a French colonial modernist project from the early 20th century. It is the medina, and its central square Djemaa el-Fna, that will undoubtedly fire the imagination.Djemaa el-Fna is the heart and soul of Marrakchi life, and really comes alive with the setting of the sun, when a caravanasi of food vendors, selling all manner of Moroccan delicacies descend on the square. These are accompanied by snake charmers, wide-eyed story tellers, musicians and performers that lend a medieval scent to the night air. To the north of the square are the important religious buildings and the souks, while to the south are the Imperial quarters where the palaces and monuments of past rulers proudly stand.The Ville Nouvelle, which in comparison to the medina is a decidedly more ordered and sedate affair, divides into the areas of Gueliz and Hivernage. Here you will find an array of civic buildings, international hotels, bars and restaurants typical of any modern European city. The city divides into two highly contrasting districts.

The CTA sent a bulletin Thursday night to all rail yard employees ordering a number of precautionary steps to ensure that train cars undergoing maintenance stay in place. The bulletin comes after an out-of service train somehow began moving and crashed into a train carrying passengers Monday morning at the Harlem station on the Blue Line.
CTA spokesman Brian Steele said the bulletin was sent as a proactive measure while the National Transportation Safety Board continues to investigate what went wrong.
RELATED: Officials: Moving train in Blue Line crash had no driver
"We wanted to look at adding some redundancies to the controls we already have in place, so we added a few things related to the procedures of storing cars in for repair," Steele said. "Some of it is re-emphasizing procedures already in place, and some are new things," said Steele, who compared the new safety redundancies to wearing a "belt and suspenders, and another belt."
On Monday, the Blue Line train, which apparently was unmanned and wasn't carrying any passengers, rolled out of a nearby rail yard and rammed into an occupied train at the Harlem station in Forest Park during the morning rush hour. More than 30 people were injured in the crash.
Forest Park Mayor Anthony Calderone said on Tuesday that authorities who had examined the crash site had so far concluded that "no human was on" the train and they were "mostly leaning toward some type of mechanical malfunction."
"That train shouldn't have been moving,'' Calderone said Tuesday. "It's bizarre. . . . The NTSB has a complicated task in front of them, and that's trying to get to the bottom of it.''
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 308 President Robert Kelly, who joined NTSB investigators at the crash scene Tuesday, has said that the train slipped past two switches and an internal device that should have stopped it before it rammed into a train loaded with about 40 passengers at the Harlem station.
Its journey apparently took it from the Forest Park CTA service yard, where it was awaiting repairs; past a turnaround; through the Forest Park station and then into the Harlem station. CTA officials said the "out-of-service" train was traveling the wrong way on outbound tracks when it crashed into the occupied outbound Blue Line train at Harlem.

Importantly, this failure generally has nothing to do with the technology that powers Google's products, which is often amazing.
Rather, it's the result of weaker product design.
Google TV, for example, was an absurdly complex flop that was apparently designed for consumers who have been dying to buy a TV that is as complicated as a computer (all four of them).
Google's email system, Gmail, for years forced consumers to use a "conversations" format that geeks raved about but that confused normal people who liked good old email.
Google's Android operating system, meanwhile, despite having many technological advantages over Apple's iOS, is still harder and more complicated to use that Apple's offering.
The common thread of these anecdotes is that Google designs its products for geeky technologists, while Apple designs for normal humans.
And it turns out that geeky technologists are a small, weird niche of the broader consumer market, which is making it harder for Google to become a beloved mass-market brand.
The difference between Google's product design and Apple's product design starts with the difference between the types of people each company places the highest value on.
Google has an engineering culture, in which brilliant technologists are the rock stars.

More specifically, Google, which is led by founders and executives who posted amazing grades at the country's top universities, is legendary for hiring only the smartest people it can find--with Google's definition of "smart" being based on the applicant's GPA at a top university and the applicant's ability to handle interview questions that would flummox the vast majority of human beings.
Apple, meanwhile, was founded and built by a college drop-out who credited LSD and calligraphy with inspiring more of his product-design genius than anything he ever learned in school.
Like most people who work at Google, Steve Jobs was brilliant, but he likely never would have been able to get hired at Google. The Google hiring algorithm would have taken one look at his flaky educational background and concluded that he would never have amounted to anything.
Steve Jobs's genius, in other words, was a sort of genius that Google places little or no value on.
But if Google is to become a beloved mass-market brand, it's also the sort of genius that Google needs a lot more of. And the place to find that genius is probably not the country's most prestigious computer engineering programs.
BI's Matt Lynley recently posted a series of charts from LinkedIn that show the different emphases Google and Apple use when making their hiring and staffing decisions.
Both Apple and Google have their pick of students from any universities in the country.
And nowhere is the difference between the two companies more visible than in the schools they choose to recruit from.
Google, not surprisingly, hires mainly people who attended the country's top engineering universities, like Stanford and MIT:
Apple, meanwhile, has its share of Stanford folks, but its primary source of talent is San Jose State:
But it seems safe to say that most mass-market consumers--the folks Google hopes will one day love its products as much as they love Apple products--are less like people who went to MIT (Googlers) than they are like people who went to San Jose State.
So I'm going to suggest, respectfully, that if Google wants to design products that are as beloved by normal people as Apple's products are, it might want to hire a college dropout or two. Or at least a few more folks who went to universities like San Jose State.

GENERIC NAME: tacrolimus
BRAND NAME: Prograf
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Tacrolimus is a drug that suppresses the immune system and is used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs. Tacrolimus accomplishes its immune-suppressing effect by inhibiting an enzyme (calcineurin) that is crucial for the multiplication of T-cells which are vital to the immune process. The use of oral tacrolimus allows transplantation specialists to reduce the dose of steroids which also are used to prevent rejection. This "steroid-sparing effect" is important because of the many side effects that can occur when larger doses of steroids are used for a long period of time. Tacrolimus was approved by the FDA in April, 1994 for liver transplantation and also has been used in patients for transplantation of the heart, kidney, small bowel, and bone marrow.
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Capsule: 0.5, 1, and 5 mg. Injection: 5 mg/ml
STORAGE: Tacrolimus should be stored at room temperature between 15-30 C (59-F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Tacrolimus is used for the prevention of rejection of transplanted kidneys, liver, or heart. It can be combined with steroids, azathioprine (Imuran Azasan) or mycophenolate mofetil.
DOSING: Oral tacrolimus is taken twice daily. Starting doses range between 0.075 mg/kg/day to 0.2 mg/kg/day. Doses vary widely and are based on tests that measure the amount of tacrolimus in the blood. Taking tacrolimus with food can reduce some of the abdominal pain that can occur with this medicine; however, food can reduce the amount of tacrolimus that is absorbed. This is especially true with fatty foods. Capsules should be taken consistently with or without food in order to avoid major swings in blood levels. Grapefruit juice increases blood levels of tacrolimus and should be avoided. The injection is only used for patients who cannot tolerate tacrolimus capsules.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: The destruction of tacrolimus by the body may be inhibited by a large number of drugs, resulting in higher blood levels of tacrolimus and possibly increasing its side effects. Such drugs include lansoprazole (Prevacid), omeprazole (Prilosec), protease inhibitors (for example, nelfinavir [Viracept] and ritonavir [Norvir]), bromocriptine (Parlodel), cimetidine (Tagamet), cisapride (Propulsid), clarithromycin (Biaxin), cyclosporine (Sandimmune; Neoral), danazol (Danocrine), diltiazem (Cardizem, Tiazac), erythromycin, fluconazole (Diflucan), itraconazole (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), metoclopramide (Reglan), methylprednisolone (Medrol), nicardipine (Cardene), troleandomycin (Tao), and verapamil (Calan, Isoptin, Verelan, Covera-HS). Grapefruit juice has a similar effect on tacrolimus and should be avoided.

You have probably heard of drones because of all the media attention lately but did you know you can actually buy one yourself? Okay maybe not the military grade kind but you can get a much cheaper one for under $100 to more expensive ones around $1000. Quadcopters are just rc helicopters that have 4 propellers which allows them to be much more mobile in the air. Some of the more expensive models can even attach a gopro camera to them which captures amazing aerial footage that everyone will love.
Buying the Best Quadcopter
If you have been looking to buy the best quadcopter you first should start off with one of the cheaper models just so you can get used to the feel of flying one before you get an expensive one. Many people jump straight into the most expensive model only to wreck it and waste all their money. Here I will outline the best model for beginner, intermediate, and professional fliers.
Syma X1 4
This model is great for beginners because it is fairly cheap under $100 and can be flown both indoors and outdoors. You would be surprised at the amazing maneuverability of the Syma X4 and how well you can control this copter. If you're looking for your first quadcopter then this is definitely the best choice. It can fly up to 40 meters away which is much further than most models in this price range. The best part of it all is it only takes 40 minutes to charge and be ready to fly again!
Sky Vipir
Once you have a little more skill level you can move up to a model like the Sky Vipir. This quadcopter is great because unlike most in the price range that just fly up and down and side to side, this copter can perform tricks such as flips and barrel rolls. The remote control also has three different modes from beginner to advanced which will allow a new flyer an easier time transitioning into this quadcopter. Don't forget the removable carbon fiber and foam frame that allows you more safety just in case you do happen to wreck.
DJI Phantom
Of course this model is the professional choice because it really has no competition. This bad boy is extremely easy to fly and also does so very smoothly. You can attach a GoPro camera underneath the frame which will allow you to take incredible aerial photography unlike any other model. This copter can also hover in place with ease even in 15 mph winds which is just insane compared to other drones. If you are looking for the best then look no further. Instead of me telling you everything you need to know about this model just watch this video below.

Saying it wants to join an international treaty banning anti-personnel land mines, the U.S. announced today that it will no longer make "or otherwise acquire" them. The new policy was announced at a conference on the Ottawa Convention, a 1999 treaty that outlaws the mines.
The country's stronger stance on mines is part of a push "to end the use of all nondetectable mines and all persistent mines, which can remain active for years after the end of a conflict," according to a White House news release issued this morning.

Iraq's most-revered Shiite cleric called on the country's political blocs to agree on a prime minister in the next four days, putting pressure on a government that is struggling to address the growing security crisis.
The call Friday by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani came as Human Rights Watch said the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the Sunni extremist group that now controls large parts of Iraq, likely executed at least 160 unarmed men when it took the city of Tikrit.

A free-trade zone between Ukraine and the European Union takes another step toward reality today, as the nation that's under pressure from pro-Russian separatists signs an economic agreement with the EU. The deal also includes two other former Soviet states, Moldova and Georgia.
The trade pact comes as a tense cease-fire is set to expire Friday in Ukraine, where government forces and militants have been locked in a confrontation for weeks. It also promises to push Ukraine firmly toward Europe, and away from Russia's influence.

Iraq is in chaos, but the country's ethnic Kurds might come out ahead.
They rule a semi-autonomous area in the north that is fairly prosperous and safe, and as the Iraqi army crumbled before militants this month, Kurdish forces moved in to take long-sought areas that had been under the central government in Baghdad.
The Kurds are now talking about their generations-old dream of independence, but they still face many dangers.

The shot that killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was fired a hundred years ago this weekend.
The assassination in Sarajevo, on June 28, 1914, triggered World War I and changed the course of the 20th century. The consequences of that act were devastating. But the beginning of the story sounds almost like a farce — complete with bad aim, botched poisoning and a wrong turn on the road.

Time is running out for Myanmar's opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, in her bid to become president.
The long-serving political prisoner and democracy activist is now 67. If she wins general elections next year, she could become Asia's most famous politician.
If you're bringing home the bacon, you may have noticed a price tag inching upward.
Consumers are paying nearly 13 percent more for pork at the supermarket than they were this time last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A deadly pig disease is partially to blame.

The waiting game
Waiting for babies to be born is not my strong suit. Oh, who are we kidding? Why qualify it? Waiting is not my strong suit. I decided to devote some of this interminable wait to knitting up a long overdue gift. I settled on knitting a stole (recall that around here, we don't call them shawls) for a woman who has helped me enormously with my medical school applications. After much deliberation, Muir seemed the perfect combination of easy and interesting. I feel a bit too absent-minded these days to work on anything complex; thus, I needed a pattern I could not easily mess up!
I used some stashed Classic Elite Yarns Fresco for a heavier weight stole. Consequently, I only cast on 93 stitches for 2 (instead of 3) pattern repeats across. I stopped after 11 full repeats in length, although I probably could have eked out a 12th repeat if pressed. After blocking, the stole measures 24″ x 66″, although I think it will stretch quite a bit more in length when worn.
Pattern: Muir by Rosemary Hill (Ravelry link)
Yarn: Classic Elite Yarns Fresco, #5334 Cool Raspberry, 4.5 skeins
Muir was the only knitting project I really wanted to finish before Baby Brown's arrival. While I am working on several other projects on post-baby deadlines, here are two that I hope to finish in the coming months.
First up is i heart you (Ravelry link) by Mandy Powers. I have admired this pattern ever since Mandy published it and I thought it would be a great way to use up some Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport scraps in a sweater for Beatrix.
Beatrix liked the idea too. So much so that she wanted to "help knit". Fortunately, the knitted fabric remains intact after her assistance; the small skeins of colored yarn for the hearts are piled up in a tangled mess. At first, I thought I would spend an evening untwisting the yarn. Now, I think it would probably be best to find more. So much for a stashbuster. Thanks, Beatrix!
The other project I'm working on is a cabled pullover for me. I have not yet decided if I will write up a pattern for this or just knit it for myself. Much will depend on how easy the shaping proves at the shoulders and neck. I worked furiously on this for a few weeks, but set it down once I reached the armholes, as I now have some more math to do before proceeding.
They say babies only come once the knitting is done. Well, it's done and I'm waiting. Less and less patiently, but I'm waiting.
20 comments so far
Muir is gorgeous – I love it in the heavier weight. What a lovely gift. And those cables are delicious too – hope you will share the pattern if the shaping doesn't prove too tricky.
Wow- you're applying to medical school and having another little one? That's amazing. I am at med school at the moment and absolutely love it… although I don't have any children, I am doing it as a second degree (which is pretty rare in the UK and is consequently seen as a slightly odd to do, although it is becoming more and more common). I just want to wish you lots and lots of luck with your application and to share a bit of med school joy – I really do love it and I'm sure you will too. Fingers crossed for your little one to get here soon, as well! :)
I can empathize. 3out of4 were late. However the December baby was early! Thinking of you.
Happy Birthday! Love Muir! Hopefully your baby will come soon. Waiting is never fun!
They also say no baby has ever stayed in there, so hang on!
I went 13 days over with my som and vividly remember the horror of waiting. Had I only been a knitter then…
happy birthday!!!! hope baby is here soon (but not breach!). the shawl is gorgeous and will make a lovely gift :)
Muir is absolutely lovely. Hopefully the baby will get the memo soon that the knitting is done, and not make you wait much longer.
Muir is beautiful! I've always loved that pattern.
I'm amazed you can knit at all with a toddler around. Mine constantly grabs at the needles and yarn making it almost impossible to concentrate. Maybe he'll lose interest as he gets a bit older.
The hearts sweater so absolutely adorable!
Best wishes for a safe and happy birth of your little one!
Hey Elinor,
Sorry you weren't at last knit group, but I was (selfishly) glad to have the time to knit on your super-secret baby gifty. Probably won't be ready for next knit group, and not for lack of knitting, so you and I will need to keep in touch over the holiday regarding your delivery situation. And I mean that in both senses of the word. ;-)
Beautiful shawl, btw. Yes, I am old school. I still call one type of footwear thongs.
Hope to see you soon!
Oh, that stole is lovely! Lately I've been thinking rectangular rather than triangular for wooly neckwear – this one is inspiring!
Babies AND Medical School?!?!? WHEW, Momma!
The stole is gorgeous. Hope the wait is not too long. Take care.
LOVE the Muir!
For me, the last 2 months of pregnancy were by far the most difficult (both times!). I kept trying to remind myself that I was lucky to be healthy and have healthy babies but I was so terribly uncomfortable I nearly lost my mind. Seriously, my doc actually gave me sleeping pills when I was preggo with my second!
Good luck with the wait.
Well, now that you posted about the knitting, the baby *has* to come!
Happy Birthday, and best of luck with the waiting game. I feel your pain, as I was waiting at this time last year for my supposed November 25 baby– Dr. Pitocin finally evicted her from her cozy digs on December 9. Hope your wait isn't quite that long!
Love it! Love the color and heavier weight.
Come on baby… it's almost Christmas, get this show on the road.
Oh my goodness, I totally understand! I knit like crazy while pregnant…how many hats and blankets can a baby REALLY use I'll ask you! As soon as I had completed the last project on my list, I went into labor. So crazy!
Also, that stole is absolutely gorgeous!
I saw the ultimate FO on flickr! Congrats, again.
Hi Elinor! I'm a long time reader and a first time commenter, and just wanted to say congratulations on your beautiful baby boy! He is absolutely adorable and Beatrix looks so excited to be a big sister!

By Ron SavageFox 2 NewsDETROIT (WJBK) -- Speaking at the pulpit of the New Bethel Baptist Church, Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon said Palmer Woods is not Detroit.Napoleon was referring to Mike Duggan, who moved into Palmer Woods and like Napoleon is exploring a run for mayor.Napoleon added Duggan cannot say he has the common experiences Detroiters have.We visited with folks in Palmer Woods. Many are familiar with Napoleon's "Palmer Woods is not Detroit" statement."I love it. We have a wonderful community here, and Palmer Woods is very much Detroit and I pay taxes just like Detroiters pay taxes. So yes, please don't tell me we're not in Detroit," said Alicia Turner."We knew we would be up against this when we started this effort," said Bryan Barnhill, Duggan's campaign manager. Duggan is out of town."These kinds of messages have been a part of Sheriff Napoleon's messaging over the past month."We asked Napoleon for comment. He declined for this story, but directed us to his Twitter and Facebook pages. Napoleon does a backpedal from the comments in church and wrote on Twitter, "Palmer Wood is not Detroit? Nothing is further from the truth."However, the Palmer Woods experience is far different from that of the average Detroiters' neighborhood.Jim Anderson of Palmer Woods said he has met both Napoleon and Duggan."I'm in favor for whichever person can get the job done. I sort of know both of them, but I'm a little mixed at this point. I like them both. I don't think you can go wrong with either one of them.""Just based upon the positive response we've been getting from Detroiters in neighborhoods all across this city, that divisiveness won't work," Barnhill said.Napoleon's office indicated the sheriff does want to meet with Fox 2 Thursday morning.

Just had to say it.
I'm ready to move into a big girl car seat - before we are 2 perhaps? I'm tired of wearing 6-9 mo old clothes and having even a few 3-6 mo old pants fit (even if they look like capris - thank god they are 'in'). I ready to be able to buy toddler clothes and get out of the infant racks.
Don't misunderstand - I'm thrilled that we are finally walking but I'd like to hear a word - a real word - I don't care anymore WHAT the word is - I've even taken to teaching her some 'not nice' words to see if I'll have to EAT my words when I say that I don't care what she says.
I'd like to take 10 pounds of the fat that I have and give it to her - painlessly of course.
I never thought I would say this but I'm ready for my baby to grow up a little. Just a little.
Okay - pity party done.

City Commissioner Patty Mahany represents the Sanford community where 17-year Trayvon Martin was shot and killed. She talked exclusively with FOX 35 Tuesday about what investigators briefed her on and why she thinks people are jumping to conclusions.
"The limited knowledge I have of the case is that the Sanford Police Department is confident it is not Trayvon Martin crying for help on the tape, that it is George Zimmerman." She says she's also been told there was only one gun-shot, not two, the other sound appears to be a door being slammed.
But not everyone is in agreement with the commissioner. She showed FOX 35 hundreds of hate-emails that she's received from people around the world.
"It's good to know that murder is legal in Sanford, Florida," wrote someone from Lubbock, TX. A woman from Ashland, Oregon wrote, "This is purely race-related."
Mahany also said, "I feel like the whole world is rushing to judgment and we don't even know if that's Trayvon Martin's voice on that tape." She said she wants justice for what happened to Trayvon Martin on that fatal February night, but thinks people should wait for the grand jury's decision, before they form their conclusions.
"Nobody is willing to step back and take a few minutes and say wait a minute it's in the hands of the state attorney. Justice will take place, but justice doesn't take place rapidly," Mahany said.
She also said Sanford is not a racist community and her constituents are praying for Martin's family. Mahany also went on to say, "People are deeply saddened just absolutely heart broken for Trayvon and his family."
Mahany fears people are losing their faith in the system.
"I have no reason to believe there is any corruption or that there's been any inappropriate behavior, so I am standing by our police chief."
A spokesperson for the Sanford police department told FOX 35 Tuesday he is unaware of talk between the commissioner and investigators regarding the 9-1-1 calls.
The police chief was not available for comment as of this report.

Earlier this week it was reported that a student athlete in the NCAA was fined for "using university water and a university hose to wash her car". I'm not making this up. You can read the article here via Yahoo!.

I'm tired of this. Student athletes get punished for everything. These are kids that the NCAA is making money off of and not paying them but with "an education". Hate to break it to ya NCAA, but sometimes that education doesn't get you anywhere. I graduated college and I owe more in student loans than I make in a year at my current job. "Hey, come to our school and play a sport on scholarship and maybe when your playing days are over you'll have something to fall back on".
Not every student athlete is going to go pro or be successful if they go pro. It is important to stay and get an education but let's face it: when was the last time you saw a student athlete put forth effort in a class? They don't have to at most schools because they play a sport. I witnessed it first hand as a member of the basketball team at my university received a "C" just for showing up and maybe putting forth a little effort in the same class I was taking and busting my ass to get an "A" in. I'm not pointing the blame on either the students or the professors, I'm just saying that this "education in exchange for a scholarship" thing isn't 100% accurate. It's about time the NCAA started paying the athletes instead of telling them their education is their payment.

Before "Searching for Sugar Man" won the Oscar for Best Documentary, director Malik Bendjelloul and the subject of the film, 70-year-old Sixto Rodriguez, were live in the Fox 2 studios talking about what happened when his records didn't sell back in the sixties.
"I pretty much left the music scene," said Rodriguez. "Malik rescued me with his film."
That rescue came in the form of telling the amazing story of a musician that finds his fame 30 years after his record is released when his songs became the soundtrack for fighting apartheid.
"It was a true fairy tale, a man who lives for 30 years as a construction worker in downtown Detroit not knowing that at the very same time he's more famous than Elvis Presley in South Africa, and then that he learns about it after 30 years and he gets the recognition," said Bendjelloul.
Rodriguez was not at the Oscars. Why?
"Rodriguez isn't here tonight because he didn't want to take any of the credit himself," Bendjelloul told the audience.
By not going, the amazing and aloof performer has once again proven that he's not in it for the fame.
So today we remember and congratulate Detroit's own Rodriguez and his film "Searching for Sugar Man."
