Contact: Craig V. Morgan, 415-464-5130
As part of the National Moment of Remembrance on Memorial Day, Point Reyes National Seashore will be honoring America's fallen at 2 p.m. on May 26, 2008 at the historic graveyard located at G Ranch. Join the National Park Service and the United States Coast Guard for services at the Historic Life-Saving Cemetery. The small cemetery contains the graves of four Surfmen who died serving their country as part of the lifesaving crew that operated on the Point Reyes Headlands. Over the course of 78 years, crews participated in an estimated 100 rescues in cold Pacific Ocean waters.
As part of Memorial Day celebrations across the country, participants are asked at 3:00 p.m. to pause and remember America's fallen wherever you are. Ranger Craig Morgan, who has led the program to rehabilitate the cemetery, stated that, "These four Surfmen who gave their lives, continue their watch symbolically over the Point Reyes Peninsula."
The cemetery is located on a beautiful knoll overlooking Drakes Estero just off Sir Francis Drake near the Coast Guard facility in the northern district of Point Reyes. A new parking area has been constructed on the Coast Guard access road and the cemetery is a short walk from the paved access road.
A picket fence enclosure under Coast Guard ownership contains the marked graves of four surfmen who died while on duty at the United States Life-Saving Station at Point Reyes Beach in the early 1890s. The Life-Saving Station crews launched lifeboats into the heavy surf at the Point Reyes beach and conducted numerous rescues of stranded vessels on the treacherous Point Reyes Headlands.
A new Lifeboat Station was constructed in 1927 at a more protected location near Chimney Rock. The Station was rehabilitated by the National Park Service and now serves as an educational facility. The Lifeboat Station has received National Historic Landmark status because it is the last remaining station with an operating railway system for launching vessels on the Pacific Ocean.
The site also contains the headstones and remains of Hinrik Claussen, his wife, and son and daughter-in-law in one fenced area. Hinrik Claussen, a Scandinavian immigrant dairyman, provided oversight for the historic Alphabet Ranches established in the late 1800s on the Point Reyes Peninsula. Mr. Claussen lived at the G Ranch, one of the first ranches to be completed in 1872.
The project is part of the National Park Service's on-going program to preserve the cultural resources of Point Reyes National Seashore. To visit the gravesite, contact the Bear Valley Visitor Center at 415-464-5100 x2 x5 for directions.

January 8, 2014 8:55 PMEnjoy the guitar heroics while you can. Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks are both leaving the Allman Brothers Band at the end of the year.
The group's two ace guitar players, who've helped guide the band over the past couple decades, released a joint statement announcing their departures at the end of 2014. Haynes has been with the Allmans since 1989; Trucks joined a decade later.
"We will be forever grateful for the opportunity and the experience, and for the love, enthusiasm and support of the incredible fans," they write. "We are both preparing to dig even deeper into our various creative and musical endeavors and, as a result, 2014 will be our final year as part of the band."
Haynes, in addition to his role in the Allman Brothers, has a solo career and also leads his own band, Gov't Mule. Trucks co-leads a group with his wife Susan Tedeschi, the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Both outfits released acclaimed new records in 2013, with Gov't Mule nominated for 'Album of the Year' and Tedeschi Trucks for 'Song of the Year' in our currently running fan-voted Ultimate Classic Rock Awards competition.
"As proud as I am of being a member of such a legendary band, I'm even more proud of the music that we've made together and of being a part of carrying their original vision into the future," Haynes says.
"I feel the time has finally come to focus on a single project, which will allow me to spend that rare time off the road with my family," adds Trucks. "It's a difficult decision to make, and I don't make it lightly."
Haynes and Trucks will both perform onstage with the Allmans through the end of the year, including the band's annual run of shows at New York's Beacon Theatre in March.
Here's Haynes' statement in full:
I joined the Allman Brothers Band in 1989, at age 28, for a reunion tour with no promise or expectations of it going any further. Based on the success of the tour and the uncanny chemistry between the original members and the new members, we decided to continue and see where it all led. Now, here we are, 25 years later, and it has been an amazing experience. I've always said that if I were to join a band that I grew up listening to the ABB would be at the top of that list. The original version of the band was a huge influence on me and I'm sure that the countless hours I spent listening to and studying that music helped shape me as a musician. As proud as I am of being a member of such a legendary band, I'm even more proud of the music that we've made together and of being a part of carrying their original vision into the future.
As someone who's been fortunate enough to juggle a lot of musical projects and opportunities I look forward to maintaining a vigorous schedule which will include many more years of touring and recording with Gov't Mule in addition to my solo projects and to enjoying more family time as well. Being part of the ABB has opened a lot of doors for me and that's something I don't take for granted nor do I take for granted the friendship and musical relationships I have with each of the members. The 45th Anniversary of the ABB is a milestone amidst too many highlights to count and I'm looking forward to an amazing year creating music that only the Allman Brothers Band can create.And here's Trucks':
I got the call to join the Allman Brothers while on tour with my own band at the age of 19. It was out of the blue and felt surreal. I leapt at the chance. This was the music that I had cut my teeth on and it was the distinctive sound of Duane's guitar that inspired me to pick up the instrument in the first place.
When I started with ABB I didn't know how long it would last, only that I would let the music lead me and teach me. Amazingly that led me past the band's 40th anniversary, to the band's 45th, and now my 15th year as a member of this incredible band. Five years ago the 45th seemed like a lofty goal but I thought if we could make it to that milestone it would be a logical time to move on.
While I've shared many magical moments on stage with the Allman Brothers Band in the last decade plus, I feel that my solo project and the Tedeschi Trucks Band is where my future and creative energy lies. The Tedeschi Trucks Band tour schedule keeps growing, and I feel the time has finally come to focus on a single project, which will allow me to spend that rare time off the road with my family and children. It's a difficult decision to make, and I don't make it lightly.
I'm proud to have made a small contribution to the masterful music they have created over the past forty years, and will continue to create. Now seems like a good time to go out on a high note with a great 45th anniversary in 2014, and the mutual respect and friendship of the other 6 members of ABB.There's no word on who will replace the pair after they leave.

Research Continues for GOJO Hand Hygiene Initiative
Four graduate students recently completed a second phase of research on hand hygiene among economically disadvantaged populations for Akron's GOJO Industries, Inc., the leading global producer and marketer of skin health and hygiene solutions for away-from-home settings and inventor of PURELL® hand sanitizer.
Doctoral students Diana Kingsbury, Lorriane Odhiambo and Julie Schaefer, along with MPH student Sunita Shakya, conducted focus groups in November to gain greater understanding of hand hygiene practices in Africa, Asia and Latin America and to test hypotheses for encouraging better practices. Findings will assist GOJO as the company explores options for hand hygiene initiatives.
The three focus groups were composed of 36 international graduate and undergraduate students at Kent State. Discussions were structured to gain understanding of past and present hand hygiene practices and issues from multiple global perspectives. For example, the students examined whether school-age children could be catalysts in educating their parents and siblings to adopt new behaviors, an approach which has proven effective relative to smoking and seat-belt use.
The previous phase of the students' research for GOJO, conducted during Spring Semester 2012, assessed the current state of hand hygiene in certain global regions and explained the complexity of interrelated health factors that, when combined, determine childhood mortality and illness outcomes. "Conducting focus groups was a logical progression from our initial work," says Kingsbury. "We wanted to obtain the perspectives of people who came from diverse regions around the world," she says.
The GOJO project team included: Carrie Anne Zapka, microbiology scientist; Nicole Koharik, global sustainability marketing director; Abel Saud, skin care science director; Deirdre Gannon, strategic planning director; Greg Golden, systems laboratory technician; and Stephanie Bock, global sustainability marketing manager. Faculty supervisor for the work was R. Scott Olds, Ph.D., professor and interim chair, Social & Behavioral Sciences.
"When I heard participants discuss washing their hands using ashes and leaves, it was all pretty new information to me," observes Olds. There were fewer surprises for Odhiambo, who hails from Kenya. "The United States has all the necessary resources for hand hygiene, but compliance is poor, for example, in the health care setting," she observes. "In Kenya, compliance is also very low, but the people don't always have the resources, like in most developed countries. In rural areas especially, education and awareness about hygiene is a major factor influencing hand hygiene practices," Odhiambo remarks. She plans a career in global health and infectious disease, in which hand hygiene plans a crucial role.
"Hands are a great vector for transmitting disease," explains Olds. "You touch your face up to 2,000 times each day. The nose, mouth and eyes are portals for bacteria and viruses that your hands pick up from many different places, increasing your chances of getting sick," he says. "Hand washing is a simple, yet effective, way of preventing disease from being spread, but access to water and soap in the developing world can be a real barrier."
Focus-group findings were presented to GOJO on January 24. "The themes we presented highlight the unique challenges related to hand hygiene that were experienced by focus group participants in these regions of the world. The themes also describe the variety of individual, social and environmental barriers that underlie this health behavior," says Kingsbury.
"I was intrigued by the basic need for hand hygiene education, as several of the focus group students recalled being asked to wash their hands as children, but weren't necessarily shown how or told why they should do it," says Bock. "GOJO recognizes the importance of hand hygiene education, and this qualitative work is valuable input for learning purposes."
Next steps may include conducting additional focus groups in a specific region to learn more about local practices. In addition, the students plan to submit their findings for presentation at a future public health conference.
The overall context for the project is a 2008 study conducted in 42 childcare centers with limited clean tap water in six towns in Colombia. Authors were Juan C. Correa, Diana Pinto, Lucas A. Salas, Juan C. Camacho, Martín Rondón and Juliana Quintero. The study evaluated the effectiveness of alcohol-based hand rubs in reducing acute diarrheal diseases and acute respiratory infections, which are among the leading causes of death in Colombian children ages one to five. The study employed PURELL® hand sanitizer, the use of which significantly reduced diarrhea and respiratory ailments.
The Correa childcare center study concluded that the country's disease-prevention policies should include use of alcohol-based hand rubs, especially in settings where hand washing with soap and water is limited by water availability. Findings were published in the June 2012 issue of the Pan American Journal of Public Health.
The history for collaboration with Kent State dates back to the early days of GOJO in the 1940s, when its founders sought expertise from chemistry professor Clarence Cooke. He assisted in the formulation of a hand cleaner that cut through, safely removed and easily rinsed tough soils from the hands of rubber workers. Throughout the years, numerous Kent State faculty members have collaborated with GOJO, and the company has frequently sponsored internships that draw students from across the university.

Second Opinions
Friday night, almost 50% of the patients I saw had been seen for their problem within a week of their ED visit. I didn't find or change any treatments on any of these folks.
One was a guy had months of abdominal pains. He had been admitted by GI to the hospital next door and had all of the appropriate labs plus an ultrasound, CT scan, MRI scan, EGD, and ERCP...all of which were negative. He came wanting a "different doctor" and "Demerol" plus a repeat of all of his tests!
Another patient was a child with otitis externa. He had been seen by his PCP that morning and started on oral antibiotics AND Floxin drops, but within 12 hours he just "wasn't better" and had "severe pain" (he was asleep at the time of exam). The parents seemed completely shocked that I told them that it might take him a couple of days to get better! They wanted him admitted until he was well.
It was so fun and interesting to be the "second opinion doctor" that I didn't have time to see the football player who was injured.
What a pain! Thank God for EMTALA to insure that these people could be evaluated in the ED whenever they wanted.

EMTALA sucks with the force of a thousand high power OREK vacuums.ReplyDelete
here's another thing that sucks and was an issue for two patients tonight, both brought in by ambulance, both from the same nursing home, both with falls.
some legislator, no doubt with the help of the ACLU, passed a law which forbids physical restraints of patients anywhere without approval of the lord judge magistrate of the world. or, barring her signature, i can order restraints, with two forms with about thirty check boxes, not to exceed 24 hours.
in the nursing homes this means that bedrails can not even be raised on alzheimer's patients who wander around at night and fall. you can't put a posey vest on them anymore, and you certainly can not restrain their exrtremities even to prevent known wanderers from hurting themselves.
second opinion? government solutions suck with all the sucking power... (see above).

You mean, you didn't know? Doctor of Medicine=Magician. Let us know when you start playing Las Vegas, please.ReplyDelete
This reminds me of when I was an OB nurse, and pts would come to L&D, and we would have to explain to them in kind words that coming to L&D does NOT make you go into labor. There were no magic hormones in the air. You come to L&D AFTER you are in labor, not before. *sigh*
I can't count the number of poor old demented folks that fall all of the time, and we can't restrain them because it "sounds cruel" to some legislator who's never been involved in patient care. These families are usually devastated that more can't be done to keep their Mom or Pop from jumping the rails and testing the law of gravity. I always tell them: "I know this sucks and makes no sense....don't vote for Democrats".ReplyDelete
Kiki: I have actually asked the staff to call SPD to get me "a magic wand, 11 inches, willow, unicorn hair core, not too swishy". I figured it was the only thing that would make the patient happy....an immediate cure. I don't know the spell, but I could experiment...that should be fun anyway. To date they haven't been able to find my wand (one tech actually called). But I'll keep trying.
perhaps you mean this magic wand??ReplyDelete
- Anonymous8:12 AM, November 05, 2007
what? the E.R. isn't the place you go when your PCP won't give you percosets? awww.ReplyDelete
don't even get me started on restraints. The laws are retardiculous. They'd rather have confused people running down the middle of the road in front of the nursing home than put a posey vest on someone.
And even Poseys don't work sometimes.When I worked on the floor, I had a uremic patient waiting for emergent dialysis--a big, late-middle-aged man. He was so disoriented and confused from the uremia that he kept pumping up his penile implant and sprinting down the hall naked with a humungous hard-on yelling, "YEAH BAYBEEEEEE" like Austin Powers.ReplyDelete
We put a Posey on him (which was slightly too small) to try to keep him in bed. At one point, the nurse aide came running out of the room screaming, "he's getting loose!!" I ran in there; the guy was sitting up in bed, ripping the posey with both hands like David Banner turning into the Hullk and yelling, "ARRRRRRRRGH!" He got up out of the bed and promptly yanked out his femoral central line catheter that had been placed for his dialysis.
THAT was a fun clean-up.
P.S. boys: I love you guys--I've added youse to my blogroll!
When I was an aide on the Alzheimer's NH unit (AKA "the most difficult job in the world"), we used the Merry Walkers for the wandering, falling patients (they could sit on the chair or if they fell, they wouldn't fall all the way to the ground). One patient wasn't into the merry walker idea, so he'd basically taught himself the Fosbury Flop, and would do that to jump out of the walker and onto a bed (not necessarily his bed, of course). For being an 80-year-old demented Alzheimer's patient, he was pretty damn good at the high jump.ReplyDelete
911: That's the wand...what's the spell you use? I've tried "Wingardium Leviosa", "Expelliarmus", "Alohomora", but none of these seem to work. The only success I've had is with this dangerous spell I borrowed from the dark side: "getthefuckouttahere".ReplyDelete
hmmmm... i think something like "normosaleeketorolacanarcaneeyeevee" might do wonders.ReplyDelete

Second Opinions. One time my Dad who is 84yrs old was having his prostrate checked, while the Dr had his finger up his bum my Dad said "could you put another finger in there"the Dr said "WHAT" my Dad said"yeah I would like a second opinion" They both got a good chuckle.ReplyDelete
my favorite are the fuckers who send in their patients to the ER because they can't figure out what's wrong with their whiny bastard patients.ReplyDelete
we had a girl come in with reflux symptomatology today, and when we asked her why she was here, the mom said "because dr. gotmydegreeinforeignland said he didn't know what was wrong, and figured that you guys could figure it out".....needless to say, we couldn't, and when we called him to tell him we tested every orifice and internal organ in her body, and couldn't find anything wrong, and were sending her home on zantac and a bland diet, he said "well, that's what I thought to do, but thanks for doing the testing".
bastard FP's......wasting my valuable time
B&J: I've had enough of this behavior. I tell people that their doc basically "dumped" them to the ED due to laziness. I tell the patient that their doc could have ordered the workup on his/her own, but they were too lazy to do so.ReplyDelete
Since we have hospitalists with contracts to admit patients from certain docs, these docs now just send their patients to the ED for admission. I see these people and many of them truly don't need to be admitted (they just need a competant PCP). But I'm lazy too. I just admit these folks. As far as I'm concerned, the beef is between the PCP and the hospitalist. I'm not going to enter the argument, I don't have time.
I tell these patients too that their PCP could have called ahead and arranged a direct admission for them to save them time and a $1500 ED bill. But he/she didn't want to argue with the hospitalist over such a BS admit..so they just want me to do it.
I'm tired of covering for these assholes. I just tell the patient the truth: "Your doctor is lazy and really doesn't care, so he/she sent you here to get rid of you. I'm sorry about that, and if you'd like a referral to another doc, I'll be happy to give you the name and number of a doctor that takes care of his/her patients".
I have noticed an increase in 2nd opinion people too only it doesn't present with those specific words. Its a lot more of the, "I was at so and so ER last week and they didn't do anything". Sometimes they have been to 2 ERs and they are so dumb that they tell us they have.ReplyDelete
Office docs especially dump narc seekers on the ER. I think they or their partner should be called and asked what they want us to do with the patient.....

Ilona's article
Cholesterol and Saturated Fat Prevent Heart Disease - David Evans
David Evans compiled a great reference book - Cholesterol and Saturated Fat Prevent Heart Disease -about the relationship of Saturated fat in the diet and heart disease, showing that there is no correlation between these two elements. The book contains 101 scientific papers (with the name of the authors and the year it has been published) showing that:
- There is no correlation between high cholesterol levels and heart disease.
- Cholesterol and saturated fat actually lower the risk of heart disease.
- High carbohydrate diets are associated with an increased risk of heart disease.
- Diets high in polyunsaturated fats (vegetable oils) are associated with increased chronic diseases rates.
You can find more studies and information on David Evans blog: Healthy Diet and Science (there's even a page with recipes).
I am very happy that there are more and more people who dare to speak out against "medically and politically correct wisdom" and question the validity of the current "healthy diet" hypothesis. For example this article by Dr. Dwight Lundell, Heart Surgeon.
I am also very happy that the science of nutrition functions less and less like a religion (based on beliefs), but is based more and more on actual science, were hypotheses and theories are questioned, and from associations, correlations are drawn. Science should not be based on suppositions and opinion. Observations have to be thoroughly tested.
"Forming hypotheses is one of the most precious faculties of the human mind and is necessary for the development of science. Sometimes, however, hypotheses grow like weeds and lead to confusion instead of clarification. Then one has to clear the field, so that the operational concepts can grow and function. Concepts should relate as directly as possible to observation and measurements, and be distorted as little as possible by explanatory elements."

|System: PS3, Xbox 360
|Dev: Arc System Works
|Pub: Aksys
|Release: TBA
|Players: 1-2
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
by Angelo M. D'Argenio
Arc System Works recently announced the latest title in the BlazBlue line, BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma. With this announcement came a whole host of new gameplay and system updates that will take effect in the new version. In fact, Chrono Phantasma is so different from Continuum Shift, it feels like an entirely new game. Let's go over a few of these changes to see what Chrono Phantasma has to offer.
First of all, the Burst system has been replaced with the "Overdrive" system. Essentially, characters have an overdrive bar that fills over time. When it maxes out, they can use it to burst out of an opponent's combo, or to activate their own unique "overdrive mode." Overdrive mode puts you into a powered-up state and lasts longer depending on how low your health is. It also freezes the game timer when used. Many characters have had their existing power-up supers converted into overdrives. For example, Ragna's Blood Kain power-up is now his Overdrive mode.
Three new characters are being introduced to the game. Amane Nishiki is an androgynous male in a pink kimono who fights with a scarf. His drive uses the scarf to attack at long range by changing it into a drill. Somehow, Amane is able to upgrade his drive's level over the course of a fight, though it hasn't yet been revealed how. Using Overdrive will instantly upgrade all of his attacks to their final level.
Bullet is a fast and mobile grappler, as opposed to Tager's slow dumpy pace. Her drive lets her rush opponents and grab them quickly before transitioning into other moves. She has some sort of "Heat Up" status that apparently increases her attack power as she uses her grapples, but actually restricts most of her grappling moves once active. Using Overdrive immediately puts her into an infinite Heat Up state. She actually has a three-part super that involves two 720s and a 1080 one after another. This may be one of the hardest supers to execute, dexterity-wise, in fighting game history.
Finally, we have Azrael, who is a muscular brawler. His drive attacks reveal weak points on the enemy when they hit. These weak points can then be hit for some effect, though we aren't quite sure what that effect is yet. When Azrael uses his overdrive, his attacks reveal weak points even if they are blocked, and all attacks act as though a weak point was hit.
In addition to these new characters, returning characters have gotten new moves as well. Ragna has gained "Blood Scythe" a new overhead scythe swing that can be done in the air. Jin has lost his B and C projectiles, his A Ice Car and his A DP. Instead, he now has two new forms of Ice Car that can be performed in mid-air. Noel has a new move called Chamber Shot that fires a projectile out of a drive chain, and has an additional attack on top of Revolver Blast. Rachel has two new attacks on down down A and down down B, but their functions have not yet been revealed. Taokaka has new Cat Spirit follow-ups and a new pouncing super from mid-air. Tager has a new body splash move, and an air-to-air grab. Litchi has a new reverse DP she can use without her staff, and a few brand new half-circle moves, though her original half-circle moves were removed.

Saw Wave 2 CW (Rex, etc.) at a local Target... only 2nd time I've seen that wave.
The Target next to my office restocked with a fresh case of Class I vehicles...I picked up another Scuba Clone Set, although the paint apps don't look much better than the first one I found. No sign of the Dropship, but that wave is bound to hit eventually. I left the Attack Recon Fighter as 2 is enough of those for me.
On another note, despite this being the first new Star Wars action figure I've found at retail AT ALL since the Vintage Deleted Scenes wave in February I almost put Obi-Wan back. Even now I feel like I bought him out of obligation more than actual desire to have him, if that makes any sense (it probably doesn't).

Columbus, Ind., native Tony Stewart comes to Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week seventh in the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings and firmly in the hunt for his fourth Cup championship. Stewart participated in the weekly NASCAR teleconference on Tuesday.
Below is a transcript of that teleconference as released by NASCAR:
MODERATOR: We welcome Tony Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Office Depot Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing. A three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion and Columbus, Ind., native, Stewart has three wins this season and currently sits seventh in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point standings. He has two wins, nine top 10s and an average finish of 8.1 at his home track of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Tony, can you talk about the chemistry you and Steve Addington have had as a driver/crew chief combo this year and what are your expectations for the team heading into your home track, the Brickyard this weekend?
TONY STEWART:I've been really happy with what Steve and I have been able to do together in such a short amount of time; to be halfway through the season and have three wins together already, obviously really proud of that.
Steve knows it's a big week for me. It's a big weekend for everybody. Not only myself being from Indiana, but the Brickyard is probably the second biggest race on our schedule behind the Daytona 500 now.
So everybody gets really geared up for it, and you know, hopefully we'll get started on Saturday and have a great weekend.
Q. We know it's a big week. What does your schedule look like and do you have any other races other than the Brickyard activities?
TS:Yeah, it's a busy week. I mean, obviously we have had an hour's worth of radio call-ins this morning to do for Office Depot and then the teleconference here. You know, tomorrow, I don't even remember what we have tomorrow to be honest. I know I've got my crew guys coming in a day early, and they are coming into Columbus down here to hang out for an afternoon. And actually tomorrow, I have an Office Depot store appearance.
So every day we have something going on. The schedule this week is actually a little bit lighter than normal. We don't do anything at the Speedway until Saturday. So kind of gives us one of those days back a little bit to rest and I'm going to take full advantage of Friday and watch the Silver Crown cars and the GRAND-AM race this weekend before we get started on Saturday.
But I'm planning on going to Eldora on Saturday night to run my Sprint cars and I'm going to treat it just like another week. It will be a big weekend for us but I seem to be doing better when I'm staying busy, so having Saturday night to run my car at Eldora is going to be a lot of fun.
Q. So you've been in Columbus for a couple days?
TS:I got back Sunday morning at nine o'clock in the morning. I'm driving back from Williamsburg, Pennsylvania Saturday night. I haven't been home long, but enjoyed the day and a half that I've been here.
Q. Since the SAFER barrier made its debut in Sprint Cup, how do you measure the device's impact on the sport?
TS:Well, it's something that we are very grateful for obviously. Tony George was a big part of getting the SAFER barrier going.
You know, it's definitely something that none of us as drivers take for granted for sure, because who knows how many lives its saved now. The good thing is that we have not had anyone killed since we had the SAFER barriers.
But I don't think it's changed the racing. I don't think it's changed how drivers approach races. But you know, at the end of the day, it's definitely made it a lot safer for us and we are definitely grateful for it.
Q. You've raced on some tracks that don't have SAFER barriers when you do the short track stuff. Is that any different for you when you go to a place that doesn't have one?
TS:No, we don't think about it unless you crash. But it's definitely something that, you know, when you hit the wall, you definitely realize, you know, it's a pretty significant change when you crash with a SAFER barrier versus hitting a concrete wall.
Q. With the Army's announcement a couple weeks ago, where does that put you as far as Ryan Newman and Ryan racing for your team next year?
TS:Exactly where it did when you asked me at Loudon. We're working on it, it's definitely still a setback but we're still pushing forward and doing everything we can to get that done.
Q. Is it your hope to have three cars next year?
TS:Yes, and it has been since we signed Danica.
Q. On the sponsorship deal, last year at this time it seemed like the environment was changing a little bit and maybe getting a little bit better and if you're still seeing that kind of thing and what it's like out there now in terms of what kinds of things you're having to do to get sponsors now that maybe you were or were not last year at this time.
TS:Well, I still think it's gaining momentum. We have been able to bring in Aspen Dental and Quicken Loans on board and those are two companies that had not been a part of NASCAR racing in the past. I'm pretty proud of that side of it.
You know, it was definitely a huge disappointment that we were going to lose the U.S. Army. But it's not something that we have had a lot of at Stewart-Haas Racing, we have not lost a lot of partners. And especially a group like U.S. Army, they have been a lot of fun to work with and they been a very dedicated group and have been very involved with what the race team is doing and very such pore at this point. We are going to miss out having them on board next year.
But I still think it's coming around. There's a lot of new companies that we are seeing in the sport, and we are seeing that in our organization. So we are not giving up hope and throwing in the towel thinking that we are losing one sponsor; we are going to hopefully be able to try to find somebody else.
Q. Do you feel there is more pressure to win because you're in your hometown?
TS:I don't. I like to win no matter where we're at. It fun to win here at home. It's always fun to win at Indianapolis because it does mean a lot to me to win there. Probably the best part is we have so many friends and family that get to come up to the Brickyard; that makes the days even that much better.
As far as putting pressure on ourselves, I don't think we really do that anymore. As time has gone on, I think after we won that first one in 2005, it's just taken a huge weight off our shoulders on that side, and just go at it every year with the attitude that we know what it takes to win there and we try to do our best to accomplish it.
Q. Do you almost feel a little more relaxed going into IMS, considering you're a native?
TS:I don't know about relaxed. I'm still anxious because I want to win the race. Like I mentioned right off the top, we have a busy week. We start today and we go all the way through Sunday.
It's kind of like being at Charlotte. Everybody thinks that being at Charlotte is a relaxing week because you're at home. For some reason, when you go home, everybody thinks that you need to do more work. We definitely have a lot of things of things on our schedule and a lot of obligations that go along with that. It makes for a long week but it's a fun week at the same time because you are at home.
Q. How do you do as well as you do in the Sprint Cup Series and manage to put on such a show as Eldora is doing these days? A lot of improvements; the buzz here in Ohio is: 'Go to Eldora.'
TS:Well, I think something I learned from Job Gibbs when I was there, he was always successful at everything he had done. And being around him for 12 years, I got to see a lot of reasons why he was so successful. He was really good at hiring the right people to do the right jobs and that's something we have tried to do as well.
You can't be hands-on every day with every company and every interview that you have, but having those people that you trust and that you have the confidence in to do the right jobs; and not micromanaging and letting them do their job, it just makes it that much easier. We have a great staff there this year and I feel like they are doing a great job, so I don't have to have my hands around it every day.
Q. As an Indiana guy, is it good to see the cars headed there this weekend?
TS:Yeah, I'm excited about it. We were all sad when we lost Formula 1 there. It's a neat racetrack. I'm not going to speak for everybody, but I know for myself, I'm really excited to watch the GRAND-AM race on Friday and see how it turns out.
Q. Would you have felt the same way back in the day when some of the purists were kind of wanting to keep it more pure?
TS:Yeah, I mean, I was one of those guys that when I watched the first Cup test at Indy, I got pretty upset about it. I was like, this is the home of the Indy 500 and that's all that should be here.
I think most of us in society don't like change, but after a while, after the first year, I started watching a lot more, and started wrapping my arms around it and then Formula 1 came and Moto GT. It was really neat to see so many different disciplines at the highest levels coming here to race.
So it's neat to see GRAND-AM come in here now, and I've got a lot of buddies that race in the Nationwide Series and a lot of those guys probably would not have the opportunity to ever race at Indianapolis. So I'm glad to see those guys, and it's a great facility. I think the more that realistically we can run there, the better.
Q. With three wins already and a comfortable spot in the points standings and this being Indy, will there be any special instructions for you, and do you treat it any different?
TS:Not necessarily. We have not talked about strategy yet and I think the biggest thing for us right now, even though it's a big weekend, this is one battle in the war, and the war is to try to win a championship at the end of the season. To do that, we have got to beat the system.
So I don't think an all-or-nothing attitude is the approach we are going to have this week. We definitely have that luxury to do that with the three wins that we've got, but I think right now in the big picture, we are trying to get the consistency the best we can, and I would like to see us put together some consistent runs before the Chase actually starts.
So I don't really know what the approach is going to be yet and the hard part is it's such a big track that depending on what happens during the race, that will dictate what the strategy is at the end. Like I say, when I'm in the car, I'm not calling the race, anyways. Steve has the ability to do whatever he thinks is the best for us at the time, and he always runs that side of it. So I always back him up whatever he says.
Q. Obviously this track has been a big deal to you, but what is it about Indy? You have two wins there; what is it about this track that you feel that you run so well?
TS:I think there's some things that help me there but it's not things that I would ever tell anybody. You know, I think there's some variables, things that we do that definitely worthwhile and help us during the race. It's trade secrets that's you've got to hold on to as long as you can.
Q. Congratulations on your World of Outlaws win; what was it like winning there?
TS:It was fun. We had a little different format than what they normally have. They have double features and got to start on the front row on the second one. Started with some really good cars there. Definitely wasn't easy, but we definitely had a really good run there and it was nice to get the first Outlaw win of the season.
Q. How do you feel about the Nationwide and Truck Series losing Lucas Oil with Nationwide coming to the Brickyard for the first time?
TS:Honestly as excited as I am for everybody to race at the Brickyard, I have that same level of sadness of losing the Truck race and Nationwide race. That's one of the things that I've liked about the weekend is that a track that I got my roots at. I know when we ran Sprint cars, we always looked forward to watching the Trucks and the Nationwide cars. So we are sad that we lost that. But I think that even though we are sad about losing the races, we are excited that we are going to get a chance -- that the Nationwide Series will get a chance to come into the Brickyard.
Q. If you could talk about your program Wednesday where you're going to be giving out backpacks at Indianapolis.
TS:Yeah, it's something I'm really proud of. I mean, Office Depot was the first company to express interest in being a part of what we were doing with Stewart-Haas Racing, and it's something that they are very passionate about is their national backpack program.
We are going to get a chance tomorrow or Wednesday to give out 6,000 backpacks, or sackpacks they call them. That's something that's really big for these kids. It gives them the opportunity to go to school knowing that they have all of the supplies and tools they need to be successful no matter what their financial situation is. Those 6,000 sackpacks are going to make a big difference, and they are giving out about 400,000 over the course of this year, 2.9 million since the program started.
We are really, really proud of the Office Depot Foundation and the fact that they work so hard to give back to this community.
Q. Talking about the Nationwide Series and the Rolex coming into Indy this year, the track has been pretty open about the fact that it's been an attempt to try to reinject some enthusiasm and excitement into the event as crowds have dwindled the last few years. I know it's still the second biggest race for you and the drivers after Daytona, but how important do you think it is for the event itself and the perception to maybe get the Grand Am full again?
TS:I know it's a big deal. It's big for us and the more people that are in the stands, the more we enjoy it as drivers. The year that we had the tire troubles really made a huge impact on the race there.
So it's gaining that momentum back. Like I said, when I heard about it, my first thought was disappointment because IRP was the truck race and the Nationwide race at the same time; it was pretty exciting there knowing the road course was going to get shot in the arm again at the Indy and the GRAND-AM Series is awesome to watch.
So I'm excited to see those guys run. And like I said, to see them get the Nationwide race, it will be an interesting week to see what that really goes for it. A lot of people would have had to make the choice of one or the other, and now they can come to the Brickyard and catch all of it in three days.
Q. You mentioned Formula 1 earlier; I know there's instances at Indy, Indy 500 seems like racing has gone up since the merger and there's been more buzz around that event since the merger. Do you see that as being possible for NASCAR? Can it regain that luster pre-2007?
TS:I think so. Since we had the tire problems a couple of years ago, Goodyear has put the full-court press effort to resolve that and I think they have done a really good job. The last couple of years we have had really, really good races there. I mean, it's still a two and a half mile track that's flat and the corners are very short.
So it puts a lot of emphasis on getting good track position. You know, if you can get a car that drives well, you can drive in traffic there just like anywhere else. You know, it's just always such a momentum track; if you're off a little bit, you're off a lot and puts a lot of emphasis on getting the balance in the car that you want.
Q. Qualifying is always important at tracks like this where the race is ultimately the difficulty that it is. How much importance does your team put on qualifying and how important do you feel it is?
TS:Definitely it's important for sure. Getting that that selection, it's very, very narrow and you can get yourself in a spot pretty quickly if you're not paying attention. It's definitely a big deal.
The thing that I'm excited about is that we don't have the big temperature swing this year that we normally have. We have qualifying on Saturday at 2 o'clock and the track is going to be very, very hot and it should stay consistent through the whole qualifying session.
So I think that's going to make -- I think that's going to make it right as far as guys not trying to sandbag and get an early spot and have a cooler race and being honest -- in the actual qualifying runs.
Q. This summer, to say the least, has been uncomfortable with hot weather for a race driver. You know, even though there has been some good changes, like in driver suits and other things, how do you keep all of that heat out of your mind, and is there a point with the heat that you or maybe even NASCAR consider a danger for a driver to be racing in such heat?
TS:Honestly I think the guys are in a tough series, and I think we are all acclimated to the face that we are in a hot race car all weekends. You say it's been hot all summer. No matter how hot it is this weekend, it's not going to be the first time this year we have had to deal with hot temperatures.
I think the seat technology and the safety equipment companies have found ways to try to make the drivers as comfortable as possible in the cars, and the good thing is, even though Indy gets hot, you're still running fast you and get a lot of air flow in the car.
You know, you're still whipped at the end of the day. It's definitely a long way. But I don't think there's anybody that's going to have much trouble this weekend.
Q. They talk about how some of the Nationwide Series drivers going into Indy for the first time, they might wreck because it's so prestigious at the Brickyard, and I just want to know, have you ever had that where you almost wrecked going around the Brickyard?
TS:You know, first time I went there, I was there with the IRL. It was '96. So we went there during the one year that they were able to run turbocharged cars. So we were pretty fortunate. We were running in the 230-mile-an-hour bracket right off the bat. There have been times when we have crashed at the Brickyard, no more than anywhere else that we go. It's just part of what can happen obviously.
But I think the Nationwide teams get plenty of practice and you know, those guys are pretty sharp. They will figure it out pretty quick.
Q. And also, Ryan Blaney is driving for Penske for a couple of Nationwide Series races. Maybe talk about going through some of the pressures of being a young driver driving for a big team.
TS:Well, it's definitely something that is very nerve-wracking and you know that you're getting a great opportunity and you definitely want to make the most of it.
You know, the thing that helps Ryan a lot is the fact that he's got a father and an uncle that both are really good at what they do. And with his dad, Dave, and Dale, they both have been racing a long time. He's been around a long time and seen it firsthand and I think Ryan has got a really good mind-set and level of focus that kind of gives him an advantage over some of the other rookies that don't necessarily have that in their background.
MODERATOR: Thank you very much for joining us today, Tony, we appreciate it and wish you the best of luck this weekend at Indy.

LEGO® Wear – when quality in clothes is essential
For generations the LEGO® name has been synonymous with quality - quality in toys for children. This quality has been copied into LEGO Wear children's clothes. Children are hard on their clothes, and that's the way it should be. Therefore, focus is on quality in the collection yet still paying close attention to comfort.
LEGO represents a universe, which is known and loved throughout the world, and LEGO Wear clothes have images and graphics that are easily identified from the child's play situations. In LEGO Wear you will always find the most loved LEGO characters. LEGO Wear; clothes for active children of all ages.
Different children – different clothes
Children are different, and a 1-year old girl doesn't have the same needs as an 8-year old boy. Our assortment of clothes starts at age 9 months, where the clothes should have room to move and for development. And LEGO Wear is so sturdy that it will not be ruined.
As the children grow older they have new demands. For boys the Ninjago theme is very hot and LEGO® Friends is hip for the girls – that's why you find LEGO Wear with images from for instance these LEGO® themes. LEGO Wear – clothes for active children of all ages.

For LGBTQ couples who
meet met that special someone over Pride weekend — or who already have but just haven't set the date — Seattle's tourism agency will be awarding four free wedding trips to LGBTQ couples in a sweepstakes that starts July 1.
Sponsored by Visit Seattle, the hosted trips include the opportunity to be married by Seattle's first openly gay mayor, Ed Murray, along with air transportation provided by Alaska Airlines, a four-night stay at the Renaissance Seattle Hotel, a wedding ceremony at Canlis restaurant, DJ and music, wedding photography, sparkling wine courtesy of Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery, beer from Hilliard's Brewery & Taproom, and dessert from Trophy Cupcakes. Uber Seattle will offer transportation to and from the ceremony, which will accommodate an unspecified number of guests. Ceremonies will take place on the first Wednesday of the month from September through December, with Mayor Murray officiating the first wedding on Sept. 3.
"It's an honor to be part of this campaign and I look forward to officiating at the ceremonies for the lucky couples who win wedding trips to Seattle," said Murray. "I appreciate the work Visit Seattle is doing to bring more out-of-town LGBTQ visitors to Seattle and the new 'Marry Me in Seattle' campaign is a great example of that work."
Any LGBTQ couple that resides outside of Washington State is eligible to win one of the four wedding trips; winning entries will be randomly chosen. More sweepstakes information will be available beginning July 1 (Tuesday) on the campaign web site, www.2DaysInSeattle.com/marryme, which will feature an essential Seattle LGBTQ marriage checklist that includes a link to Washington State's marriage equality law (Referendum 74, approved by Washington voters in November 2012), information and links for marriage applications and licenses, and a list of LGBTQ officiants.
The web site will also feature a wedding resource guide that includes more than 30 Seattle romance packages, transportation, wedding music and DJs, florists, photographers, venues and catering companies. The site and resource list will be permanent and continuously updated, according to Visit Seattle.
"Seattle is a welcoming and progressive place to live and visit," noted Ali Daniels, vice president of marketing for Visit Seattle. "What better way to celebrate the passage of Referendum 74 than to throw a party — or four — hosted by generous hospitality businesses throughout the city? The response that we've received from our partners is incredible. Everyone we've reached out to wants to find a way to be a part of this campaign."

Scenes from Easter morning
We had a really nice Easter weekend. My mom and grandmother were both visiting from New York. The kids always love having them around. The morning started early with baskets of goodies from the Easter bunny, an egg hunt in the front yard, and bubble blowing in the beautiful weather.
Spring has really sprung here in North Carolina. What that means is that there is an inch-thick coating of green pollen dust on EVERYTHING. Not good for someone with severe allergies ... like me!
For those that celebrated, I hope you had a relaxing and blessed holiday weekend.

Customer Reviews
"We used Bozzo's Limousines for the bachlorette party, a party bus for the wedding, and as transportation for our guests to and from the hotel and the reception hall. We were given a free upgraded Limo for the bachlorette Party which was AWESOME! The driver was so nice and really looked out for us. He made sure that a group of young girls was not only having a great time, but was safe, too. The party bus was beautiful and the price was great compared to other businesses. The limo that transported our guests was kind, friendly, and efficient at the task, even when some of our guests were...obnoxious." Brent F.
"We loved our party bus from Bozzo's Limousine. There was plenty of room for my large bridal party. It was very nice inside and the air conditioning worked really well. We got married in the middle of the summer so that was very important to us! Also, the driver, Mary, was so sweet and great to work with!" Skylar T.

|Glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis - heparan sulfate / heparin - Reference pathway
|Heparan sulfate (HS) and heparin (Hep) are glycosaminoglycans with repeating disaccharide units that consist of alternating residues of alpha-D-glucosamine (GlcN) and uronic acid, the latter being either beta-D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) or alpha-L-iduronic acid (IdoA). In these sugar residues, sulfation modification may be performed at various positions. Structural studies show that Hep possesses a higher degree of sulfation than HS. The biosynthesis of HS/Hep occurs with the addition of the first GlcNAc residue by EXTL3 glycosyltransferase after completion of tetrasaccharide linkage region attached to serine residue of a core protein. The chain polymeraization is then catalyzed by EXT1 and EXT2 transferases. As the chain polymerizes, HS/Hep undergoes a series of modification reactions including N-deacetylation, N-sulfation, epimerization, and subsequently O-sulfation. As final products of biosynthesis, HS is present in the form of hepran sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) whereas Hep exists as a sugar chain without a core protein. The proteoglycan families with HS, as well as CS (chondroitin sulfate), DS (dermatan sulfate), and KS (keratan sulfate), are composed of two main types depending on the subcellular locations: cell membrane and extracellular matrix [BR:ko00535]. HS/Hep has been shown to bind to a variety of molecules, such as growth factors, chemokines, morphogens, and extracellular matrix components [BR:ko00536].

El Vaquero roping them in
It appears a new Mexican place in the former Amigo's space in the Woodbrook Shopping Center has some fans.
It's rare that Dish gets emails from foodies begging us to mention a particular restaurant, unless of course they have a financial stake in the business. But several requests have come in, and so Dish is buckling under the pressure.
El Vaquero (which means "cowboy") is the name, and it's part of a small Mexican restaurant empire with restaurants in Lake Monticello, Orange, and Haymarket.
According to Mouricio Placencia, the owner's brother, they opened eight years ago in Orange and took over the former Amigo's space last month. What's more, he says their uncle owned Amigo's and many of the dishes there are the same. He also mentions an incredible $3.99 lunch special and says nothing on the lunch menu is over $7. Asked what he would recommend, Placencia says their carnitas and chile rellenos have been very popular.
"My wife and I discovered El Vaquero when they opened in Orange," says Lake Monticello resident Denny Avers. "These guys do a fantastic job of offering honest, authentic Mexican food and great service– at excellent prices."
Some favorites? Fajitas with meat, shrimp, and chorizo, great tacos, big beers, and nachos more like a meal than an app.
"Your readers deserve to know about this one," says Avers. "It's a really good Mex restaurant."
Well, readers, now you know. Go on over and tell us what you think.

There's now more turbulence between American Airlines and its pilots.
The company sent a letter to pilots Wednesday night threatening legal and disciplinary action if the flight delays and cancellations that have plagued the airline continue.
"If it doesn't stop we must seek legal action, we have no recourse," said American Airlines spokesman Bruce Hicks. "Our customers are tired of being disrupted, they're angry and they're upset and they should be."
U.S. & World
But after a meeting with union leaders on Thursday morning, the Allied Pilots Association says they will not return to the bargaining table following American Airlines' threatening letter.
"It essentially threw cold water on the process," said Tom Hoban, APA spokesman. "It just doesn't make any sense to hang a sword over our heads and say, 'by the way we'd like to return to the bargaining table.' That's bad faith bargaining."
Hoban says the union cannot work to reach a consenual contract with the airline with the threat of legal action looming.
"If the corporation files in federal court, that's where our focus has to be as opposed to reaching an industry standard contract," he said.
The letter from the company to the Allied Pilots Association reads in part:
"We do not want to pursue a legal remedy, but we will be left with little alternative if APA does not take action to stop those pilots who are intentionally harming the operation," the letter said. "American's operations have continued to suffer for more than a week now, and we must take the appropriate steps to ensure our customers and our airline are protected. The recent conduct by some of our pilots is inflicting economic damage on the company, frustrating and alienating our customers, and driving unnecessary work and significant stress for other employees."
The entire letter can be read here.
The letter comes after APA leaders agreed on Wednesday to resume contract talks with the airline. The union had planned to meet at its headquarters near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport through Friday to "prepare for the resumption of bargaining."
Now, members say they can't help but to feel they've been "sucker punched" by the company, hitting them with the threat of legal action, after inviting them back to the bargaining table.
The pilots' meeting came after two weeks of delays and flight cancellations the company blames on unnecessary pilot maintenance requests.
Pilots blame the company's older planes and insufficient staffing, and say they're just being cautious while working without a contract.
American Airlines says it felt the union was not and would not do enough to stop the actions of pilots, which the airline views as illegal and intentional efforts to hurt the company.
"It became clear to us (Wednesday) that the APA board was unwilling to do so," said Bruce Hicks, American Airlines spokesman. "We have no choice but to move forward and the first step is to notify them formally what needs to be done."
Hicks said that the APA had not notified American of their change of plans.
"If that's true we're very disappointed that they would make a decision like that, that would preclude the ability to reach consensual agreement quickly with our pilots which remains our number one goal," Hicks said.
Hicks said American believes the two issues are separate and that negotiations can resume while efforts are made to improve the airline's operations.
"On one hand we have an operation that continues to be sabotaged through these continued actions by some pilots, not all, but some," Hicks said. "On the other hand we have the need to reach a consensual agreement for the future, those two issues are unrelated."
"The longer this sort of action goes on the more it will hurt both sides because it could result in pilot furloughs, it could result in decreased demand for American as a carrier," said bankruptcy attorney Mark Ralston.
The increase in pilot maintenance requests has come since union membership rejected the company's last contract offer and a bankruptcy judge cancelled their old contract.
Passengers who rely on American Airlines have been caught in the middle, especially business travelers.
"They need to fix it," said American frequent flyer Alok Fil. "People need the employment. Everybody in today's economy, we all need employment right now."
Ralston believes the company has been surprised by the effect of recent events on operations and that pilots have gotten the company's attention.
"So the question is does management offer something better. And how much better. And how much better does it have to be for the pilots to accept it," Ralston said.
Other American unions have already agreed to revised contracts in the company's bankruptcy reorganization case.
The airline has said they can juggle around the numbers, but insist pilots likely won't get a better deal than what they've already been offered and rejected.
NBC 5's Chris Van Horne, Kendra Lyn, Ken Kalthoff and Scott Gordon contributed to this story.

A Class of champagne
How about an ice-cold bottle of champagne to kick off the final match this summer? Sparkling wine from small producers is often superior to brand-name bubbly. Our expert sampled a few craft champagnes:
Organic grapes
No chemical fertilizer, no pesticides: Vintner Anselme Selosse cuts no corners when it comes to growing grapes. Every year, he produces 50 000 bottles of champagne, which is actually very little compared with the "grandes marques."
Affordable bubbly
Vintner champagne doesn't have to be expensive, as the family-run Jean-Jacques Lamoureux vineyard proves: The 2009 Blanc de Blancs costs only 25 euros.
Insider tip
At his small, 12-hectare vineyard, Francis Egly personally attends to the cultivation, pressing and vinification of his grapes. His champagne is a winner!

Hello all,
at the moment I m trying to get USB networking configured for the Zaurus CL1000.
The Zaurus is running Angstrom x11-image 2007.12-r18.
Basically I tried to get it working by performing the steps which are described in the USB networking howto on the Angstrom wiki (http://linuxtogo.org/gowiki/AngstromManual)...
Nevertheless its not working for me
I did following on the zaurus:
Next I continued with the configuration of the desktop computer (running debain etch 4.0 stable):
on the desktop: ping 192.168.1.101 -> ok, ping 192.168.1.201 -> not working
zaurus: ping 192.168.1.201 -> ok, ping 192.168.1.101 -> not working
Hm, obviously there is something wrong with my configuration
I m somewhat stuck, any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
recently my dad purchased a Zaurus sl-c1000 and told me to install something more useful on it
This is what i wanted to get working on the Zaurus:
-simple windowmanager (fluxbox, blackbox,fvwm)
-multiuser setup
-native development (fortran, c++)
-programs like xpdf, gnumeric
-properly suspend
Until now I ve tried out the last version of OZ with gpe, pdaXrom and pdaXiirom
On both, pdaXrom and pdaXiirom, suspend has been a problem. Not sure why,
Is that a common problem with those Roms?
The last Rom i installed, has been OZ.
Suspending and multiuser setup works very well. I even managed to get gcc working.
Next I installed blackbox because i wanted something more useful than gpe
but it wasnt working because of the disabled colormanagement in X11. (i tried to recompile x11 with colormanagement enabled, but no success)
Which Rom would you suggest me to use? Is angstrom a try worth?
Thanks in advance

Building Bridges Among Global Forces in Tourism InvestmentWHAT is at stake: The rapid growth of world tourism over the past two decades has generated unprecedented investment initiatives and collaboration by government leaders, investors and related stakeholders. With a reported 20,000 new jobs created from every US$1 million invested in travel-tourism initiatives, the question becomes, how does one decide where, when and with whom to invest in this prolific generator of new wealth?The current tourism investment activity has spawned deeper discussions: How can the public and private sectors work together to provide incentive investment opportunities? How can investments be best 'assured' to minimize risks? While the majority of investments are often local, these issues are global in scope and of great consequence to today's leaders in government as well as the hospitality and tourism industries.WHY now: The 'essential' need to harness the forces impacting global tourism and financial sectors has created the need to better identify, communicate and manage current-future trends of tourism investment. Previous investment forums have targeted a specific sector, the World Tourism Investment Summit focuses on tourism investment as it impacts the national economy and stakeholders on a global scale. The WTIS aims to facilitate a broader understanding and encourage mutually beneficial cooperation—in shaping a tourism investment platform within the global marketplace.WHO will be attending: The World Tourism Investment Summit's unique forum is extended to 500 global delegates representing over 50 countries. Attendees, who are actively engaged in tourism investment, development and operations, include leading private sector senior executives (i.e. CEOs, Sr. VPs & COOs) from all major sectors (i.e. hospitality, airlines & airports, tour operations, infrastructures and builders etc.), Tourism Ministers, financiers, government leaders including state and city authorities, leaders from international organizations and major stakeholders who share the common objective to acquire new knowledge, broaden networks and foster collaboration.

Police officers stand around a local train that derailed and crashed into a residential building in Saltsjobaden outside Stockholm on Jan. 15, 2013.
Reuters reports — A cleaning lady allegedly stole a Swedish train and drove it off the end of the tracks and smashed into a house outside Stockholm on Tuesday.
It was not clear how the woman, around 20, got access to the key needed to start the train. She was taken to hospital with serious injuries, but the train was carrying no other passengers as it was in the early hours and no one in the house was hurt.
A train cleaner was injured after police say she stole a train and crashed it into a house in Sweden. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
"The cleaner drove the train at high speed, considerably higher than normal on that stretch, to where the rails end and crashed into a house," said Jesper Pettersson, spokesman at Stockholm Public Transport (SL).
The train ploughed past the end of the line and vaulted over a street separating the house from the depot, crashing through a balcony and into a downstairs room in the upscale suburb of Saltsjobaden. SL and police were investigating how she had gained access to the cabin and been able to drive the train.


text: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 APTA Launches First Fall Legislative Cosponsor Drive APTA is launching its first annual Fall Cosponsor Drive and needs your help. Building upon the success of the Federal Advocacy Forum, held April 22-24, APTA wants to reach 200 cosponsors for Medicare therapy cap repeal legislation (HR 1546) and 150 cosponsors for student loan repayment legislation (HR 1426) by December 31. Currently, the bills have 170 and 117 cosponsors, respectively. APTA has been working diligently to educate members of Congress on Capitol Hill about these issues and now needs association members to echo these messages at the local level. Several congressional representatives have requested that PTs, PTAs, and PT students contact their district offices and express their support for these bills. This is your opportunity to contact your representative and ask him or her to cosponsor HR 1546 and HR 1426. APTA has several resources to help you educate your legislator on these issues. You can identify if your representative is currently a cosponsor, view position papers and background information, and track the progress of the Cosponsor Drive on the Medicare Therapy Cap and Student Loan Repayment Cosponsor Drive webpages. You also can e-mail your representative and ask him or her to repeal the therapy cap and support legislation allowing physical therapy students to participate in loan forgiveness programs. If you have questions about the Cosponsor Drive, contact APTA's Grassroots and Political Affairs Department at 800/999-2782, ext 3170, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Previously on Chicago Fire, Casey and Hallie got all randy after swapping memorabilia and had a dirty afternoon skate. This is how you know the Casey's jersey is not game used because, take it from a girl who knows, there's nothing sexy about the way hockey gear smells. Voight's back on the job and on top of Antonio but only in a work way. Mills made everyone jealous with his rope and harness skills, got picked first in the game of Who Want to Severide's Boyfriend, and was rewarded with some one-on-one gladiator style homoerotica. Severide meanwhile played dress uniform Ken, engaged in some witness tampering, and is all irritated that people are taking allegations of sexual assault seriously. The nerve! You want an asshat in charge who doesn't mind sexual assault so much, try the Air Force.
We start with Severide doing his best witness tampering and intimidation once again. He is waiting for Tara in the parking lot outside a Walgreen's, as you do when you're an upstanding citizen, so they can talk about those allegations of sexual assault. He makes a snide comment about her promotion, she tells him to go away, and he yells some more about how they are going to file criminal charges and that he didn't do anything to her. Let's take a step back and imagine how terrifying this scene is if Severide actually assaulted this woman. He's waiting for her which means he's following her around, he starts screaming at her, while she's just trying to mind her own business. Sure, we have a feeling she made the whole thing up but man, can we just take a second to imagine having to face the person who assaulted you when you're just out buying tampons and Us Weekly?
In the land of consensual sex, Hallie is mostly nude and those of us with eyes thank you for it. She's starting to get dressed but Casey pulls her back to bed and asks if they can just stay there all day. She's all for it since we've seen her work what three and a half minutes total and he's ready to have the truck pick him up on the way to any calls. Sure someone might burn to death but that's no reason they shouldn't give him some more time for a nice morning skate. Hallie coos and tells him that in twenty-four hours and one minute from now they'll be back in the bed together. You, madame, have just tempted The Shonda, the goddess of suffering for happy couples. Don't you watch Grey's Anatomy and yell about all the medical shit that's wrong like every other doctor I know?
