According to the leaked user manual of the LG G2 smartphone, it will pack a removable battery as well as a microSD card slot for storage expansion. We already know how the smartphone will feature a nano SIM card tray instead of a micro SIM or a mini SIM, but this new revelation goes a long way in making us understand LG's approach. The launch is just two days away now, so we're hoping to get more information on its features by then.
Since this is LG's flagship for the year, we're guessing the company would leave no stone unturned in making it a massive success. The company has posted a couple of teaser videos which have helped greatly in building the hype for the smartphone.
The LG G2 will pack a 5 inch 1080p IPS display, the Snapdragon 800 quad core chipset, a 13MP camera, 2GB of RAM, a removable 2,600 mAh battery and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with LG's custom UI. The smartphone will also feature uniquely placed hardware keys with the volume rocker and the power button placed right beneath the camera sensor, which is certainly the first for a smartphone. So there's plenty to look forward to from LG's premier flagship smartphone. We'll be covering all the news from LG's NYC event this Wednesday, so make sure you mark your calendars.

Is the idea of feminism dead? Give me your thoughts on this.
the idea will never become dead or die, as each new generation of girls/women/females live their lives and make choices that strengthen feminism or the greater right of women collectively. there is still the urgent need in countries where a woman has no rights and in these situations prowomen or the active pursuit of womens rights must continue. i shy away from the word feminism, it sounds oppressive. support and encourage womens rights but not at the expense of someone else. fair or equal where ever and when ever possible. women have acheived much and the journey is still a long way from completion. as an after thought where is feminism when it comes to fashion, cosmetic surgery or catwalk models...
I like what Nita just said. There are so many countries that still supress women's rights. Here I believe that each upcoming generation of young women are further removed from the feminism of our generation and the generation before us. We should teach them, though, so they can feel a sense of appreciation, pride and responsibility to keep our gender moving forward.
I don't believe so, especially in this country, where equality has improved with each passing decade. It does trouble me though that in some countries, there is still the thinking of total male dominance and women are subservient. My question to that would be, what is their government doing about it and why is there not a voice for them?
I guess I wasn't even thinking about other countries when I asked the question. I believe you're all right about the issue in other countries.
Some of the young girls I see today make me think we are going backward instead of forward. The young women who dress like they have no self respect, let men dominate them. Has our generation taught them that that is acceptable behavior???
Even one of my own daughter's said to me one day, "that's a man's job". I don't even remember what we were talking about doing, but I got very angry and gave her a half hour lecture on the women's rights movement.
I see all these toys (princess stuff, makeup kits, etc etc) aimed at little girls, ultimatley teaching them that looks are far more important than actual skills. It breaks my heart.
i do know what u mean. my mum and i grew up in a different generation to what is happening around me today. it is a struggle to teach my daughter not to fall into what i call society traps that seem to encourage her helplessness. gggrrrr.....what is even more infuriating is that the girls around her are just not mature or understanding about life situations or are horrible nasty and not very supportive of her. she is 15
When I think of feminism and what it means, "concerned with gender inequalities and equal rights for women". I feel that we like so many other countries have a ways to go. While we are far ahead from where we started, I listen to the political debates and i realize we have along way to go, I read and cheer for the ladies walking into positions which they are the first woman to hold those positions and I realize that we have a long way to go too. While I personally may or may not agree with abortion, when I read about comments about when being raped and not needing an abortion because the body has a way of handling it, I realize that we have a long ways to go
Oh Kimberly that whole deal is just bad isn't it?!?!
That could be its own topic!
I believe the glass ceiling still exists. So until there is no glass ceiling and I can make decisions for my own body I think we still have a long way to go.
It's not about traditional roles only. It's more about changing our views on things . What if the man IS the better home maker and the woman IS the better bread winner. What is wrong with that if it works for them????

The names of the 21 firefighters killed while battling a blaze at the Union Stockyards 100 years ago were being read and a bell rung in their honor Wednesday morning when the "Mayday" alarm came in on the radio of a nearby firetruck.
The small group of Chicago firefighters and paramedics commemorating the anniversary immediately turned their attention to the new tragedy. Fearing the worst, they bowed their heads and recited the Lord's Prayer for their comrades battling a blaze about 6 miles away that ultimately took the lives of two firefighters.
"It was unbelievable. It just stopped all of us in our tracks," said Bill Cosgrove, a retired firefighter who documented the Dec. 22, 1910, fire in a book, "Chicago's Forgotten Tragedy." "It was a matter of a few hours and a hundred years later, and we have the same type of incident."
In addition to the timing, the fire Wednesday was all the more shocking because firefighter fatalities have become increasingly rare in Chicago and across the state over the last two decades, largely due to advances in technology and improved safety training, according to Terry Cox, executive director of the Illinois Professional Firefighters Association.
Wednesday's fire, in which the roof of an abandoned building collapsed, brought to 18 the number of Chicago firefighters killed in the line of duty since 1990. The latest fatalities, Corey Ankum and Edward Stringer, are among three Chicago firefighters killed this year, along with Christopher Wheatley, who fell 35 feet to the ground while battling a restaurant fire in August.
Wednesday's blaze was the deadliest for firefighters in Chicago since February 1998, when two firefighters were killed in a fire at a tire store in the Beverly neighborhood.
"Deaths are not typical anymore," said Cox, whose organization works closely with the Illinois Fire Service Institute to provide extensive training to fire departments. "We are working hard to get the number of fire deaths down, but there's no way to predict a wall or roof collapse, though there are some pretty strong indicators. You just have to try to avoid those things."
In an average year in the U.S., 32,500 fires occur in vacant buildings, but over the last 20 years, firefighter deaths in such blazes have been rare, fire safety groups said.
Nationally, the number of on-the-job firefighter deaths dropped to 82 in 2009, the first time it fell below 100 in three years, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Most of the fatalities were blamed on heart attacks from overexertion or related medical issues. The second most prevalent cause was vehicle crashes, experts said.
While the number of deaths last year was lower than the 10-year average of 98, officials said it is too soon to call it a trend.
"When the number has gone down, that's a very positive thing. But the fact that we have more than 80 firefighters dying in a year means we need to do more to ensure the safety of our nation's fire service," said association spokeswoman Lorraine Carli. "When we see what happened in Chicago, it is a sad reminder that we need to be vigilant in doing as much as possible to prevent firefighter fatalities."
Cynthia Dizikes contributed to this report.

tropical sprue (malabsorption syndrome, tropical diarrhea) - severe inflammatory - atrophic disease of the mucous membranes of the gastro - intestinal tract, which is characterized by glossitis, diarrhea and continuing normochromic anemia.The disease is common in countries with subtropical and tropical climates found in the Caucasus and in Central Asia. most vulnerable to the sprue tropical elderly men and women (often pregnant)
Until recently it was believed that the predisposing factors to the development of this disease is: vitamin deficiency, insufficient quantity of a food protein malnutritionconsisting mainly of plant foods and the climatic conditions.
Recently, however, due to the increased diagnosis of tropical sprue among segments of the population are undernourished and living in temperate zones - had to revise this established view.A major role is currently assigned to the infectious agent (from - for the epidemic nature of the disease).It is believed th
In its current, the disease is divided into acute and chronic.Beginning in all cases of acute:

- Patients drastically lose weight, but the stomach at the same timeremains inflated
- In cases where the process involved the distal colon - in the feces appear admixture of pus and mucus
sprue tropical treatment
addition enough individual symptoms characteristic of the disease, to establish a definitive diagnosis is performed endoscopy, biopsymucosa and X-ray examination.
treatment is carried out in a hospital.Originally appointed by the restricted diet of mutton and pork fat, and carbohydrates and increasing protein intake (150 grams per day) and vitamins.All food must be machined (passed through a meat grinder or mashed) and steamed.The number of meals - four to five times per day.It is the introduction of mandatory folic acid (5 mg 3p.

- Program Abstract: The setting is familiar the world over--a section of a big-city park where the gay men cruise, but in Zhang Yuan's stunning EAST PALACE, WEST PALACE, the park happens to be the grounds of the Forbidden Palace in Beijing. The locale is crucial, for this means that this picture--even more so than FAREWELL, MY CONCUBINE--is one of the first modern Chinese films to deal so directly and outspokenly with gay themes. What makes EAST PALACE, WEST PALACE such a threatening film goes beyond the seesawing of sexual dominance. The shifting power between prisoner and cop easily becomes a metaphor for an authoritarian regime and its seemingly most helpless citizens. You can see how the film could easily be adapted to the stage, yet EAST PALACE, WEST PALACE is a richly cinematic experience that comes alive in imagination of a man who's inspired rather than crushed by being questioned in an isolated little police station in a darkened park in the dead of night.

As the World Turns News: Dylan Bruce Hired, Kelley Menighan Hensley ReturningMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Here is a bit of As the World Turns casting scoops:
Dylan Bruce has been hired to play show's eighth Chris Hughes, a role last inhibited by Bailey Chase in 2005.
"The idea of going back to work is a little intimidating at this juncture, but I will manage. I have 21 scenes!" said the actress to Soap Opera Digest.
"Once [my daughter] got here, in all honesty, I haven't even thought about work. I don't know what that tells me. I'm reserving all of my judgment because I realize my daughter is only nine weeks old at this time.
Your perspective changes and hopefully I'll get back into a rhythm of work and I'll love who I'm working with and I'll still get to work with Grayson [McCouch, Dusty]. Hopefully all those things that I loved about work will be there when I get back. I'm banking on it."
She's also been catching up with the show.
"I slowly see the strife between Holden and Lily, obviously, because I love to watch Jonny [Hensley, Holden, her husband] and I followed the Jack and Katie story. The whole time I'm just throwing things at the television because I want her with Brad! I think they're so good together. And put Jack back with Carly where he belongs!"

With more than 30 years of experience in the energy industry, Anthony John DiPlacido is working to decrease the world's dependence on fossil fuels by expanding the use of LED lighting.Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were invented in 1962 by engineers with General Electric and came into wide use in the 1970s in clock radios and other devices. LEDs are semiconductors, unlike traditional incandescent bulbs, which were first brought to market by Thomas Edison nearly 100 years ago, and the compact fluorescent lamps, which never quite caught on as the "next big thing" in lighting a decade or so ago. LEDs work off solid-state technology that is similar to a silicon computer chip.As a result, LED bulbs last longer, are more durable, and consume far less energy than traditional incandescent lighting. World Light Tech warranties its lighting products for a minimum of seven years, for example. Prices for LEDs have begun to drop as technology and manufacturing processes improve, and industry analysts predict even cheaper prices over the next decade. Taking into consideration the savings they provide in energy costs, LEDs truly represent, as stated by Wired Magazine, "the future of lighting."

Kate Hudson continued to follow her New York Yankees beau Alex Rodriguez on the road Friday night, attending the opening game of the "Subway Series" at Citi Field in Queens, N.Y., against the New York Mets – where, in the eighth inning, A-Rod hit his 564th career homerun.
"Kate was standing and clapping and cheering during the game, especially when A-Rod hit a homerun," a source at the game tells PEOPLE. "She looked adorable and was so happy."
For the hunky ballplayer, 33, it was a milestone that pushed him into 11th place on the all-time homer list, one spot ahead of the legendary Reggie Jackson.
At the game – which the Yanks won, 9-1 – Hudson, 30, sat in the second row and her presence was anything but secret, as she frequently appeared on-screen over such sports cable networks as SNY-SportsNet NewYork.
As another source tells PEOPLE, "She's happy. She's having a great time with him."

Sometimes it is difficult to brainstorm drawing ideas and facing the blank page can be discouraging to any artist. Deciding what to draw can sometimes be challenging, but we can agree that the more you draw the better you get.
Instrumental music is the purest type of music as the message is solely transmitted through sounds. It can be listened during any period of the day. There are many songs that can turn a boring workout session into a movie like experience and numerous chill out songs can be listened during a meditation session. Furthermore if you are a fan of rock music there are also a lot of instrumental versions to your favorite songs.
Hip hop music is a genre that developed 30 years ago as part of hip hop culture and is usually accompanied by rapping. Today, hip hop is a musical epidemic and the center of an industry that overcomes racial and social barriers.
Singles such as Another Brick in the Wall, What a Wonderful World, Kashmir, Folsom Prison Blues and Imagine have some of the most beautiful and famous music lyrics in the world, from talented artists and composers.
Many female artists of rock 'n' roll with electric guitars have become legends, proving that women should be considered a gender, not a genre. Singers like Tina Turner, Janis Joplin, Joan Jett, Alanis Morissette and Bonnie Tyler are considered by many 'Queens of ' Rock 'n' Roll'.

"Improving experience starts with every customer interaction. Your customers see you as a one entity." -Jiri Brezovsky
This is a quote from his post about the importance of improving the overall experience, rather than creating beautiful UI. It's a brilliant and valid point, one which we at Red Badger live by.
Even though a beautiful design, a high quality piece of software or sky-high conversion rates may seem like the ultimate goal of running a business, especially on a day to day basis, there is one crucial bit that shouldn't be overlooked. That is to deliver value.
I just want you to get the job done
As a customer, I don't care about how well your metrics are doing, whether or not you've met your sales goals or when the next software update is due.
I only care if I can get what I want from you or not. How much do I need to give [time, money, effort] vs. how much I get out of it.
In the end, if I want to get my hands on a new computer I want to decide which one is for me, where and how to buy it, and how to set it up and who to get in touch when something goes wrong. All of that should be easy peasy, but is rarely so.
The times they are a-changin'
Businesses have complex structures, they exist on multiple channels, partner with numerous 3rd parties and carry ways of working from the day they were established.
A business runs with the help of multiple 'departments' ranging from marketing, sales, merchandising, customer services, online, suppliers, logistics. There's also a big board of stakeholders to please with the outcomes.
"The problem [with designing in silos] is that customers don't just care about individual touchpoints. They experience services in totality and base their judgement on how well everything works together to provide them with value" -Andy Polaine et al.
Each and every department has different targets and end-goals. They are usually focused on just one channel or a single touchpoint of the customers overall experience of a customer. The problem arises when the links between these individual touchpoints are left unattended, when they don't appear on the targets because they are not tangible enough to make it to the boardroom. As a consequence, your customer's experience with your business ends up being nothing but a broken, inconsistent and painful journey.
When you think about it there is only one simple relationship to focus on, whether you're in the boardroom, at the shop floor or in the office developing the website; and that is the one between you and your customers.
Love thy customer
When it comes to deciding whether or not to come back, or to 'recommend the service to their friends' customers will not think about one interaction in isolation. They will think about how easy it was to use the website, how the staff treated them on the shop floor, they will consider the call they received by customer service team when their package was late all together. Overall their decision will depend on how easy it was to reach their end goal, the whole reason why they chose to get in touch with your business in the first place.
Keeping the bigger picture in mind at all times will allow you to have meaningful conversations when you're collecting requirements. It also will give you a reason to talk to each other, regardless of your position in the business.
Stop and ask why how who
Before you get in your productive autopilot mode, stop and have a think about what the greater goal is.
-Why are you doing what you're doing?
-How might you make it better for the person at the other end?
-Who else might have an effect of the delightful experience you're trying to create?
Go speak to your colleagues, your stakeholders, customers. Involve as many parties as you can. Make sure you, as a business, are giving the same message, have the same tone and same level of delightfulness for your customers throughout their journey with you.
Then and only then will your efforts count for something. Don't forget, your profit, sales, conversion rates can only improve if you love your customer, try to make their journey with you as happy and valuable as possible because your customer will love you back. (and will most likely recommend you to a friend, if that's what you're after)

servicedesigntools.org has plenty of methods you can use to think about your business offer as a whole. I would recommend checking them out. Or have a read through Andy Polaine's book Service Design, it is delightful and one of the best you can find around.
let's spread the love together
If you crave consistency in experiences and want to help businesses create value with beautifully designed high quality software get in touch. It doesn't matter where you're coming from, as long as your intentions are well:)

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States and Russia clashed Monday over a U.S. attempt to have the Security Council debate human rights violations as a major cause of conflict for the first time during this month's American presidency of the U.N.'s most powerful body.
The council approved April's agenda without including that debate. But it can still be added if at least nine of the 15 council members vote for it and U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley told reporters later that the United States "fully expects" to hold the debate on April 18.
"If you look at the conflicts we have in the world, they always go back to the human rights issues on the ground within those countries," Haley said.
She cited student protests against Syrian President Bashar Assad that sparked the more than six-year war and the self-immolation of a Tunisian fruit vendor who was harassed by police and not able to work that sparked nationwide demonstrations as examples.
The Security Council's mandate is to ensure international peace and security, Haley said, so "it is incumbent" on members to look at how human rights are related to conflict.
Haley stressed that the debate "is not intended to in any way call out certain countries or blast them or use this as a 'gotcha' game."
The aim, she said, is to look at human rights issues that lead to conflict and extremism to try to prevent another Syria or Tunisia.
Russia's deputy U.N. ambassador Petr Iliichev took issue with the premise of the proposed debate saying "a general statement that international peace and security are threatened by human rights violations is not true."
He also argued that other U.N. bodies including the General Assembly and the Geneva-based Human Rights Council already deal with human rights.
"Why are we taking everything to the Security Council?," he asked. "Then those bodies should be dismantled."
But Iliichev said Russia will consult with the U.S. on trying to find "a suitable formulation" for a debate "if possible."
Human rights monitoring and promotion are part of some U.N. peacekeeping and political missions, he said, which could be a way of reaching a compromise on the focus of a debate.
China's U.N. Ambassador Liu Jieyi, who also reportedly opposed the broad U.S. proposal, told reporters: "I think we can find a way out."
The U.S. push for a debate on human rights at the U.N. comes after the Trump administration signaled it wouldn't publicly criticize Egypt's human rights record during President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi's Monday visit to the White House. It also has played down the public condemnations of Bahrain and other U.S. allies that marked the Obama administration's tenure.
"I don't think the administration is backing away from human rights because they fully support me speaking about human rights in the Security Council," Haley said.
She said the United States prides itself on valuing human rights and "that's not going to change."
But Haley said that doesn't mean the administration isn't going to talk to Egypt, Saudi Arabia or others about its top priority of defeating the Islamic State and other extremist groups. And she said the U.S. will have conversations about human rights as well because "that's what you do with friends."

Congress has rejected an effort by fiscally conscious members of the House to withhold federal funds for the "Airport to Nowhere" in Johnston, Pa., that bears the name of Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.
The controversial airport –– used by Murtha to fly from his home district to Washington, D.C. –– has received nearly $200 million in federal money over the years, yet handles only a few commercial flights each week, Fox News reports.
Republicans and some Democrats in the House questioned why the little-used facility should receive such a large amount of federal dollars, even though the military does use the airport.
The motion stated: "It is both wasteful and irresponsible to use United States taxpayer dollars to continue to subsidize air service to an airport that has received approximately $150,000,000 in Federal funding, but has achieved no improvement in commercial service provided to the airport without subsidization."
Despite the motion, the effort to block funds for the John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria Airport east of Pittsburgh was defeated in the House by a 263-154 vote, with 11 Democrats siding with members of the GOP on the issue and 28 Republicans crossing over to vote with Democrats. The failed procedural vote to stop further funding of the airport was part of a larger $70 billion Federal Aviation Administration funding measure.
House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman Jim Oberstar, D-Minn., defended the airport, noting that it provides service for 1,000 military personnel, including the National Guard.
Oberstar called the Republican effort to quash funding the airstrip "an assault on essential air service to rural America. If those on the other side are laughing now, I wonder what they'll say when an amendment comes to ban essential air service in their area. I wonder if they'll be laughing now. This is a harsh amendment," Oberstar said.
House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a statement shortly after the vote that he was "disappointed that House Democrats are forcing taxpayers to keep their wallets open to pay for this and other wasteful pork-barrel projects."
Calling the price tag of the Murtha airport "appalling," Boehner added: "Middle-class families and small businesses are struggling during this recession, and asking them to pay even more just to help subsidize Rep. Murtha's empty 'monument to me' is the height of Washington arrogance."
When a Washington Post reporter visited the airport recently, there were just four passengers lined up to board a flight, outnumbered by seven security staffers and supervisors.
Yet the airport has a new terminal with a restaurant, a $17.8 million reinforced concrete runway capable of handling large jets, a motorized baggage carousel, and an $8 million high-tech radar system befitting an international airport — which remains unmanned.
"Doesn't it seem kind of ridiculous to have a motorized carousel for the baggage claim when 15 people get off the airplane?" Johnstown native Bill Previte told The Post.
"To say this is wasteful understates how bad it really is," Rep. John Campbell, R-Calif., told The Hill.
Murtha, who continues to be plagued by ethics troubles, has been linked to the defunct lobbying firm PMA Group, the subject of an FBI raid last November. Investigators are looking for evidence that PMA made illegitimate campaign contributions to Murtha, who has personally secured at least $150 million in federal funding for the John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria Airport, Politico reports.

Friday NASCAR Sprint Cup Notebook
KURT BUSCH WEIGHING OPTIONS – The announcement earlier this week that Juan Pablo Montoya was going to be out of the No. 42 Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Chevrolet next year creates another driver opening. And with Kurt Busch unsigned for 2014, he certainly is someone who could be a candidate to join EGR. That said, Busch said he's concentrating on trying to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup this year with his current team, Furniture Row Racing.
"Well, the focus is making the Chase and we have four weeks to go and we're in great position," said Busch, who is 11th in points heading into Sunday's Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway.
Busch has helped lead the turnaround at Furniture Row, which this year is consistently competitive for the first time in the organization's history. Busch could end up signing an extension to remain where he is.
"It's been neat to feel the energy from the team," said Busch. "… It's cool to have talks with Furniture Row about what we can do in 2014 and beyond. The Ganassi thing came up and other phone calls have happened. Nothing's going to change. We're just still really focused on the Chase and what we can do in these next four weeks together."
FOOT TO THE FLOOR – There was just one round of NASCAR Sprint Cup practice at Michigan International Speedway on Friday, but it was a very, very fast one. Five-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson topped the speed charts with a stunning lap of 203.355 miles per hour in his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet SS. Johnson's speed was faster than Marcos Ambrose's 2012 track record of 203.241 mph, set when the pavement had more grip and the tires were softer. The top 20 cars in practice were all above the 200 mph mark.
Second-fast during Friday's practice was Juan Pablo Montoya, 203.132 mph in the No. 42 Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Chevrolet he will be vacating at the end of the year. Kyle Busch, last week's winner at Watkins Glen, was third a 202.634 mph in the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. Joey Logano and Carl Edwards completed the top 10.
Johnson is still looking for his first victory at the fast, 2-mile MIS oval. He qualified third behind Joey Logano and Kurt Busch after a flat tire in the inspection line delayed him. Johnson still ran 203.470 mph..
"The way the No. 48 ran and all of Hendrick Motorsports ran here in the spring, we've all been excited to come back and hopefully have that pace and lead the race and hopefully get one of the cars in Victory Lane," Johnson said Friday morning. "I certainly want to get the No. 48 to Victory Lane. We've tried a lot of years now and have been very close here, but haven't been able to pull that off. And we had issues that kept all four cars out of great finishes in the spring race and if we can avoid the varying issues that took place, I think we stand a really good chance of getting into Victory Lane."
In qualifying, Logano set a new track record at 203.949 mph, good enough to give him his sixth career pole in 170 Sprint Cup starts. Mark Martin and Jeff Burton completed the top five behind Logano, Kurt Busch and Johnson. The second five consisted of Juan Pablo Montoya, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch. Danica Patrick qualified 28th.
All told, 25 drivers topped 200 mph in qualifying.
SMOKE STILL SIDELINED – For the second week in a row, Tony Stewart was conspicuously absent from the track as he recovers from a broken leg suffered in a sprint car accident in Iowa. Max Papis filled in for Stewart last week at Watkins Glen, while this week his replacement behind the wheel of the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet SS at Michigan International Speedway is Austin Dillon.
SHR competition director Greg Zipadelli said Friday not to expect Stewart to return anytime soon. "I'm working under the assumption that he's (Tony Stewart) out for the next month or so or longer," Zipadelli said at Michigan International Speedway. "He (Stewart) went to the doctor's this week, he had a decent visit. No setbacks. Basically, very simple instructions, stay in his bed with your leg up over your heart for the next seven days and then come back and see me. We'll reevaluate you and tell you what you can do. That's what he's doing. … The next seven to 14 days will tell a lot of how it heals, how those things take and we'll certainly continue to update you guys as we can. It's going to be a really slow process.".
Dillon qualified 27th for Sunday's Pure Michigan 400.
THREE-PEAT FOR THE BIFF? – Greg Biffle has won the last two races at Michigan International Speedway and would like nothing better than to make it three in a row this time out. But to do so, the veteran Roush Fenway Racing driver will have to find more speed than he's had in recent weeks. And he said the team has struggled with that a bit in the Generation-6 cars.
"One thing we have learned over the last little bit about the (G-6) car is that it is much more finicky than the old car was," Biffle said prior to Friday's lone practice session at MIS. "At least that is my opinion. If we are off a tiny, tiny bit with this car it goes from being running the top-five or top-eight to running 25th. There is a really fine line. That is something we have learned in our camp. We have to be right on the mark with this thing or we don't have any speed."
Biffle said even minute changes in setups have a big impact on performance.
"I don't know if it is just us or this car in general or whatever but we have learned that we have to be right on with the setup of this car," said Biffle, who was 12th in Friday's lone round of Sprint Cup practice and 16th in qualifying. "We thought a half pound or quarter pound or a wedge made a difference before but it has multiplied."
VICTORY LAP – NASCAR After The Lap sponsored by Ford and Coca-Cola will return to Las Vegas for the fifth consecutive year during NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion's Week. This year's fan event will take place at the Pearl Palms Concert Theater inside the Palms Casino Hotel on Dec. 5 at 5 p.m. PT.

A horse who is very on the forehand is always difficult to ride because it takes a method that is actually the opposite of what you want to do. The natural response when a horse pulls on the reins is to pull back. The problem with that is when you start pulling the reins, the horse slows down and uses his hind legs even less. To get the horse off the forehand you have to make sure that you get him more on his hind end. To do this, the horse has to place his hind legs further under his body. If the horse is able to take more weight on the hind legs, then the front end will rise automatically.
You can train your horse to take more weight on his hind legs by riding transitions, both in a gait and between gaits. These transitions are meant to make your horse quick to your aids as well as help your horse gain more muscles so that he is able to support more weight on his hind end. You have to make sure that when you are giving your aid to go forward you are not pulling your reins and asking your horse to slow down. Try to only give one aid at a time. Make sure the transitions are small and that your horse responds quickly to what you are asking. It is not the transition that is important, but rather the response of your horse and the action in his hind legs that trigger him to take more weight on his hind end.

I received this email recently:
"I do want to share, we were picking the next few books for book club. I was talking about your book and someone explained it so I get it now.
It was an Israeli woman. She said Americans like Disney endings. Everyone lives happily ever after. Israelis like to leave you thinking. Your book leaves you thinking. It's memorable. Any other ending It might not be in my thoughts."
As an author, there's nothing I hate more than spoilers. But, I keep hearing comments and groans about the ending to The Kiddush Ladies, so I will respond.
I wrote an ending that may not be Disney, but it's the ending needed to emphasize the point of the story. Sometimes it's our own irrational thoughts, actions, and decisions that prevent us from living "happily-ever-after." As humans, we often permit emotional reactions to supersede logic thought. And, unfortunately, we tend to take out our hurt on the people we love the most.
The Kiddush Ladies explores irrational thought and behavior at the most extreme level, while integrating the role of forgiveness. Naomi learned to forgive and set herself free to be happy. Becky couldn't forgive her mother, which opened the door for bitterness, resentment and a desperate need to be in control. She was tormented by the false truths she concocted in her own mind, which sent her spiraling into the realm of emotional torment and obsession.
(Huge spoiler alert in next sentence.)
I hope when you reach the final pages of the book that you put it down and think.
What really killed Noah?

I was reading in II Corinthians for my devotions this morning, and I came across one of my favorite verses. "...and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ."
II Cor. 10:5b, NASB.
This is a tall order for a daydreamer like me! God's really been convicting me in this area lately. It's so easy to let my mind wander during class, chapel, and homework. God has me here at Northland for a reason, though, and I'm guessing it's not to be learning the delicate technique of paying attention to a sermon while at the same time developing the plot of my latest story!
Anyway, I'm having a great semester so far. All my classes are great; I'll describe them in a later post. One of my favorites is American Literature. We just finished going over the Colonial writers, and I discovered that I have an interest in early American history. I'll have to try to read more on the subject sometime.
Okay, onward to homework!
P.S. - I posted a Valentine's Day photo below. =)

Do you know how many Dirt games have launched since Codemasters created the original Grid? Three! Three whole games, not to mention several annual Formula 1 installments, before we finally got word of a Grid sequel. I'm happy Codemasters has been hard at work cranking out quality racing games, but fans have sorely missed Grid's brilliant balance of realism and accessibility, its strong sense of ownership over our team, and the truly life-saving rewind mechanic. So what gives?
Well, as it turns out, the developers at Codemasters always intended on making a sequel to the original Grid despite the five year gap. In truth, it was a question of quality, not motivation. "Once the original Grid was out, planning for Grid 2 started almost immediately, but it soon became clear that our vision and ideas for it kind of outstripped where our technology was at that time," explains Grid 2 Senior Designer Ross Gowing. "It took time for our EGO Engine to develop to a stage where we could really do everything we wanted to do. And so the time felt right now."
Grid 2 certainly looks prettier than the original (which is really saying something), but apparently there's plenty more happening underneath the hood. "For Grid 2, we've brought in TrueFeel Handling, which is all about putting the player at the center of the action," says Gowing. "We want to make sure that anyone can pick up the controller and get to grips with it within a couple of laps, be powersliding around corners and doing spectacular stuff. But then we're also very careful when we work with all of our cars to make sure there's some real depth to them so the hardcore players can really take the time to learn the nuances of their favorite vehicles and really get the most of out the game."
There is a bit of a narrative, but nobody's dad dies, nobody's brother betrays them, nobody falls in love or anything like that.
Fundamentally, this is the same basic approach the series has always taken: simulation meets arcade, challenge meets fun, nuance meets spinning-donuts-in-your-opponent's-face. My hands-on time certainly bore this philosophy out. The developers lined up three preset events -- a checkpoint race in Chicago, an elimination race in Barcelona, and standard race on the Red Bull Ring in Austria—and handed over the keys. The results were the same each time: My first attempts always ended with slamming my car into a wall or six and failing to hit the next checkpoint (or survive the inevitable round of elimination).
All of my second attempts, however, were fared better as a result. Once I'd grown accustomed to my ride (all of which felt distinct), the controls actually did exactly what I wanted them to. This minimal learning curve proved just steep enough to grant a sense of accomplishment without actually stalling the experience. And while it definitely felt like the AI was taking it easy on me, the simple, universal joys of drifting through corners and passing on the inside line remained intact. "At the end of the day, racing games are all about the driving and the way the cars handle," asserts Gowing. "We have a team dedicated to that and dedicated to working with real-life drivers. There's one guy who's driven pretty much every car in the game who comes in and gives us feedback on every single one."
While the team's efforts are clearly starting to pay dividends, there were a few important elements missing from my demo. For one, I wasn't able to try one of Grid 2's new "open road" races, which, unlike the street and circuit races mentioned above, challenge players to sprint from point A to point B in a head-to-head battle. I also wasn't able to test the franchise's trademark Flashback mechanic—a real shame since there were a few occasions when rewinding time would have saved my ass—or the previously announced Live Route System, which promises to dynamically alter the layout of certain tracks with each passing lap.
The demo also avoided displaying Grid 2's campaign narrative elements; Codemasters confirmed plans to revive the original game's somewhat story-based approach to single-player. The storyline that guides the campaign follows a man named Patrick Callahan on his quest to create a global motorsport competition. "It's really about a unified racing series to find the ultimate superstar," says Gowing. "There is a bit of a narrative, but nobody's dad dies, nobody's brother betrays them, nobody falls in love or anything like that. It's all about making sure the racing feels worthwhile and legitimate, and that's kind of why we've put the wrapper around it, to give it a sense of believability with real world coverage."
Clearly there's still plenty yet to learn about Grid 2, especially since its multiplayer component remains entirely under wraps. But for now, I'm just happy to see Codemasters back on track and out of the Dirt.

BOCA RATON — The city`s second-oldest house probably will escape destruction, thanks to two ordinances approved Tuesday by the City Council.
The Raulerson home at 139 W. Palmetto Park Road, built in 1913 by a pioneering Boca Raton family, was threatened by demolition to make way for construction of a new police station.
But passage of the two ordinances will allow Diane DeMarco, a remodeling contractor who helped with restoration of the old Town Hall, to move the house to another site once owned by the city.
DeMarco got the house for nothing last fall and offered the city $8,000 for the lot at 240 SW Second St. But two other bidders, both of whom own adjacent plots, offered $10,500 and $11,000 for the same parcel.
City ordinances required that the lot be auctioned to the highest bidder. Because DeMarco stood a good chance of losing the auction, the council passed one ordinance that in effect allowed it to take a shortcut in the auction process and accept the first offer.
The second ordinance accepted DeMarco`s offer, which had been raised to $11,000 to reflect a more recent assessment of the land`s value. The sale was made conditional on her moving the house to the site.
Council members earlier had said they would not sell the land except to help save the Raulerson home. They did not, however, want to sell the land for less than its fair market price.
``One of my concerns was alleviated -- that we were selling it for less than the high bid,`` council member Alan Alford said.

World of Physics on Pierre Curie
Pierre Curie was a noted physicist who became famous for his collaboration with his wife Marie Curie in the study of radioactivity. Before joining his wife in her research, Pierre Curie was already widely known and respected in the world of physics. He discovered (with his brother Jacques ) the phenomenon of piezoelectricity--in which a crystal can become electrically polarized--and invented the quartz balance. His papers on crystal symmetry, and his findings on the relation between magnetism and temperature also earned praise in the scientific community. Curie died in a street accident in 1906, a physicist acclaimed the world over but who had never had a decent laboratory in which to work.
Pierre Curie was born in Paris on May 15, 1859, the son of Sophie-Claire Depouilly, daughter of a formerly prominent manufacturer, and Eugène Curie, a free-thinking physician who was also a physician's son. Dr. Curie supported the family...
