The first photos of what is claimed to be Nvidia Corp.'s next chip that belongs to the Fermi family has hit the Web, inspiring more questions than giving answers. The new code-named GF104 graphics processing unit (GPU) has rather unusual form and mysterious configuration of memory interface as well as the number of stream processors inside.
Alleged Nvidia GF104 GPU image published by Expreview web-site
The image is claimed to be revealed first on a Chinese hardware enthusiasts forum that is known for leaking confidential photos and data. It is unknown when and where the photo was made. All the markings on the graphics processor are blurred and the only information that can be obtained is that the chip is an engineering sample of the product marked as GF104-30x and the revision is A1.
The GF104 graphics chip is covered by aluminum heat-spreader, just like its more powerful brother; and has rectangular form, an unusual form for a GPU. By contrast, the GF100 is square. The graphics processor seems to be surrounded by either six or seven (one is not picture) memory chips, which may mean that the graphics card on which the chip is located has 192-bit or 224-bit memory interface.
The rumours floating around the GF104 graphics processors are rather weird. There are several assumptions by Fudzilla that there will be two graphics cards based on the GF104 chip: one with 192-bit memory bus and 336 stream processors, another with 256-bit memory bus and 384 stream processors. Based on the image, there should be the third version: with 224-bit memory bus and 360 stream processors (provided that every GPC [graphics processing cluster] inside the GF104 has 24 stream processors, not 32 as in case of GF100).
Nvidia does not comment on the unannounced products; however, the rumour has it that the launch date is the 12th of July, hence, it will not take long for Nvidia to start talking about this.

Hello, my names Michael. I'm 19 and have had my knuckles tatt'd for about a year now, on my right hand I have an anchor, the illuminati sign, a spade, and a dollar sign. On the left its a diamond, a key hole, a lightning bolt, and lastly an old school bomb! They didn't have a mass amount of meaning but I thought they looked sweet so I just went with them lol
Brad Huston sends us these knuckle tattoos:
Got this done in honor of Carl Sagan. Inspired from his quote from "Cosmos":"The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff."Neil deGrasse Tyson also said it very well:Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that construct the molecules, are traceable to the crucibles that were once the centers of high mass stars that exploded their chemically rich guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life. So that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That's kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It's not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us."Be humble for you are made of earth, be noble for you are made from stars
sailin' on
I'm Roberto Lagarto from Brazil and my story is: "I just fucking love bad brains. So I tattooed this song to remember that when problems appears in my life I just have to keep movin' and sailin' on!"
But please, credit the tattoo as www.livetowin.com.br. The tattooer that made is a friend of mine, Izaac Alves (Durex)
My names Rob I'm from Massachusetts I have the words "Stay Away" on my knuckles. I chose these words cuz I'm not a people person and being in a band I have to deal with a lot if people so I got stay away just to let everyone know your just better off staying away from me we may not be enemies but we can't be friends

Messy Flips
We have been seeing more and more men letting their hair grow more specifically their bangs. Blame it on Justin Biebier in his earlier days which really got a lot of younger guys letting their hair grow. But this cool surfers look is such a great look for men who like having a little length towards their bangs. What's really great about this hairstyle is that it's beautifully layered and when flipping the fringe those layers really stand out and give it such a cool and rugged California surfer vibe.

2005 Dayi Spring of Menghai Raw - First time produced, First batch. Flowerish. Nice. Light. Mellow. People are saying this doesn't have potentials to age. I don't know, but it is sure nice to drink today.

I think the mushroom version is much better than the brick version. But the brick I had was pretty enjoyable too, for a price almost like free
I very much believe the processing of mushrooms is significantly different from that of most other sheng, but haven't yet found out the details yet.
I think the Xiaguan mushroom is a classic of cheap great sheng. But I don't know what's going on with the recent year mushrooms with fancy packaging and much higher price.

After missing the playoffs for only the second time since 1995, the New York Yankees and GM Brian Cashman head into the offseason with multiple problems to deal with.
Mariano Rivera's retirement has left the team without a closer; as many as three-fifths of the team's starting rotation may need to be replaced; and Robinson Cano, the team's best player, needs to be re-signed.
The team is looking to stay under the $189 million luxury tax threshold in 2014, something that would be significantly easier to do if Alex Rodriguez's 211-game suspension is upheld—and his $25 million salary wiped off the team's luxury tax number—but there's no timetable for a resolution on A-Rod's appeal of that suspension.
One thing is for sure, however, and it's that the Yankees are going to be far more active this winter than they have been over the past few years.
This will be updated on a regular basis—often multiple times per day—so while the post date will always show as October 31, simply click to the next slide to see the latest rumors and rumblings about the Bronx Bombers as they put together their roster for the 2014 season.

Middleburg Heights, OH (June 6, 2011) – Have you found yourself recently gasping for air or complaining of swelling in the legs or an extreme amount of fatigue? Have you already seen your physician, yet these symptoms persist? You could be suffering from Pulmonary Hypertension (PH).
PH is defined as abnormally high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs and this rare condition makes the right side of the heart work harder than normal to circulate blood to the lungs. As a result, over time, the right side of the heart may become enlarged and then weaken and fail. There is no known cure for this disease, yet timely treatment can significantly improve quality of life.
Through Southwest General's new PH Center, patients will:
• Meet with a board-certified cardiologist with expertise in PH
• Have a six-minute walk test
• Have diagnostic testing, including an echocardiogram, EKG, lab tests, chest X-ray, pulmonary function test, among others
• Schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss test findings and additional testing, if necessary
A physician referral is not necessary. Since the treatment goal of PH is to control symptoms, the earlier you know a diagnosis, the better you will be able to improve those symptoms, quality of life and longevity!
Southwest General's Pulmonary Hypertension Center is located in the Heart & Vascular Institute Specialty Center in Building A, Suite 410, at Southwest General's Main Campus in Middleburg Heights. To make an appointment, call 1-877-SWG-BEAT (794-2328).

The ATV culture includes loose regulations -- and kids' funerals
Diezel De Rupp "enjoyed doing his little dance to the Dubstep" -- electronic music propelled by drumbeats and heavy bass. In a photo, the 5-year-old looks delighted, his hair brushed upward in a peak and his shirtfront covered by the Ultimate Fighting Championship's TapouT logo, celebrating martial arts.
The boy lived in the Denver area, but on June 10, 2012, he and his father, Jeremy Rupp, were visiting friends on a farm on the eastern Colorado plains, enjoying a Polaris 500cc all-terrain vehicle, or ATV. That's not unusual in the West, where roughly 3 million of the nation's 11 million ATVs are found. Western ATVers drive more miles than riders elsewhere, and 80 percent of that driving is recreational.
Diezel De Rupp was on the back of the ATV as a local 6-year-old boy drove it around the farmhouse yard. Left unsupervised for a few minutes, the 6-year-old drove to the edge of a nearby gravel pit, where he accidentally went over a 15-foot dropoff. The young driver jumped clear, but the ATV landed on Diezel, killing him.
This heart-rending story comes from the boy's obituary, the local newspaper, and Travis Sides, one of the prosecutors who pressed felony criminal negligence charges against all four adults who were with the boys shortly before the accident and knew they were on the ATV. "It's very sad. No one wanted this to happen," says Sides, who hopes to raise awareness about the risks that ATVs pose.
It's been a chronic problem since ATVs became popular in the 1980s. If past trends hold, more than 400 people this year -- including dozens of children -- will be killed and more than 100,000 seriously injured in ATV wrecks nationwide. That's fewer than in the peak year, 2006, probably because people have become more cautious and are also less able to afford ATVs. (Sales plunged 70 percent during the recession.) The situation is still "awful," says Sue DeLoretto Rabe, an Oregonian who helped found a national group, Concerned Families for ATV Safety. She speaks from experience: Her 10-year-old son, Kyle, died in a wreck on her farm 11 years ago. He was wearing a helmet, but his ATV tipped over as he drove downhill, and he was pinned and suffocated by its sheer weight.
Recent deaths include Kaytee Eisenbarth, a 12-year-old who, on April 7, lost control of the ATV she was driving near Fort Lupton, Colo., and rolled it; like Diezel De Rupp, she was not wearing a helmet. Miranda Anderson, a 7-year-old in Utah, was riding an ATV on May 12 when the adult driver steered too close to a tree and a branch pierced her neck.
Loose regulations, the industry's marketing and political prowess, and the growing popularity of "adventure" recreation are some of the factors behind the injuries and deaths. Western rural culture has always tolerated risky behavior -- rodeos, for instance, or shooting at anything that moves (or doesn't), or driving too fast across empty spaces, sometimes while drunk.
An ATV dealer near the farm where Diezel De Rupp died, for instance, has a fun slogan -- "The Super Toy Store" --and markets the danger with a macabre logo, a drawing of a bloody skull. "If you are looking for fast and furious or just something to infuse a little adrenaline into your weekend," says the store's website, "then you have come to the right place."
If you are offended by my opinion, please make a cogent argument for the merit(s) of entertainment based largely or solely on GHG emitting activities.
First, it's a proper function of law to protect the public from improper actions by others, such as wanton destruction of public lands through thoughtless use of ATVs. It is NOT a proper function of law to protect people from their own stupidity or lack of common sense. That's a big step along the path to a "nanny state" in which the government becomes responsible for everything and people fail to assume (or even acknowledge) individual responsibility for their words and actions.
Second, the article was so involved in recounting the tragedies that occur (rather infrequently) as a result of ill-advised or unsupervised use of ATVs that it failed to acknowledge, even in one brief sentence, the usefulness of these vehicles for legitimate purposes on farms and ranches, where ATVs have replaced horses for many routine tasks, as well as healthful recreation. Perhaps their usefulness is tacitly assumed, as it is with highway vehicles, which take a much higher toll in deaths and injuries.

Hilltop homes project still planned
The Columbus Dispatch - December 31, 2013 04:21 PM
Officials are jump-starting a stalled effort to bring 40 new and renovated homes to the eastern half of the Hilltop.
The nonprofit Homes on the Hill wants to work with the Columbus Housing Partnership on the project and apply for tax credits to help finance what could be an $8 million to $9 million project, said Steve Torsell, executive director for Homes on the Hill.
Homes on the Hill had been working with the Oberer Companies on the development but that company pulled out, Torsell said.
The project would concentrate on the area east of Hague Avenue between Broad Street and Sullivant Avenue.

Healing Health Spa
Had the experience of visiting this spa in south etobicoke last week and it was a treat! Dressed to the nines, heels and sexy short skirt, Debbie was exactly what the doc ordered. Their parking lot is kinda small in the front but you can park discreetly in the back, and also use their back entrance for added privacy, a big plus for me since I live in the area.... I let her know I found her ad on 2hot and was given extra special service so this will make me cum back for more for sure.....
She was on time but not the girl in the pictures and did not want to do BBJ or CIM. She never gave me her real name. But was mad at her agency for sending her when I was expecting a girl that would do CIM. Apparently you can ask the people on the phone for specific services?

Recently I found myself in Manhattan for business and ended up adding in a little pleasure. Visited their incall location and it was very clean and tidy. Upon discussing the donation, which was fair, we went straight into the shower to cleanup for our adventure to come. Followed by an Excellent full body sensual massage and then some, we proceeded to engage in some exotic exercises that would make the average person blush! Since I love to touch and feel every inch of a beautiful womens body, I was very satisfied with my explorations! I will surely repeat upon returning to Manhattan.
Hey dudes, just letting you know that this is a great place to spend an hour for total body relaxation. From head to toe to your cock, you will be very happy and tense free when you leave. The session started off with a bit of talk, which was ok, then sensual soft massage that eventually got harder and so did I. This Tatiana chick is totally smoking hot and she knows it. I gave her a few nice compliments and she really seemed to enjoy that, as expressed in her enthusiasm during my massage. Her touch is amazing and she cleaned me up well once the volcano popped! Thanks again for our nice time together Tatianna!!
I have seen her a couple of times. Very nice. Didn't know she saw more than one guy at a time. Will have to keep that in mind. To update services listed, she does BBBJ and PSE, I am pretty sure if you are clean that CIM would be there. Never tried. One of the best in the city, pics don't do her justice. Doesn't look 33.
Blue Lagoon
Hey Fellow Consumers,
The last time I frequented this spa I have to say I was not happy! The girls were average and although they were the same girls in the pics from their website, in person, they seemed to not look the same, but worse!
Back in the day I recall they had much better talent. Can anyone else let me know if there are any worthwhile prospects here are bluelagoon?
Temptation Spa
Visited this spa ,must say very neat and clean spa with plenty of parking
Greeted by a nice lady on the door.
Mp was Ivanna very sweet and frndly lady slim,tall with impressive racks.
Her quality of service A+++,i never got such service before.BS was too good.Really enjoyed every sec during the whole session.
Visiting this spa sOon
I recommend this place to all!!!!
Tried her and was amazed. Very Patient, tastes awsome. And responds to oral and touch with enthusiasm. I will bei back! Experten aus surprise when you experimentelle those kitty lips. Watch her reverse cowgirl and try to pace yourself. Sonderfall kisser too. Touch is encouraged and returned. So much for memories, getting Hot recalling.
Provided one of the best massages with a great happy ending that I have ever had. Is very nice with great set of "c"s on top. Will not do extras except for the HJ ut does one fantastic job on that! I WILL TRY HER AGAIN AND AGAIN WHEN I NEED THIS TYPE OF SERVICE.....And the back and body massage is super!
Jenni Dear
To sum up my hour with Jenni and give it justice will mot be easy, however I'll do my best as the sex should not go without praise! First Off I love her cute lil incall. Clean quiet and discreet! Greeted by this sexy lil bombshell in an outfit that screamed I Fuck professionally!! The introduction was second to none! I was mesmerized by her beautiful pink pussy and that Ass that I still can't get out of my mind! She was very courteous as I played the part of first timer to see where she would take it and I was more than impressed at her desire to please and establish comfort! She was gentle when needed and rocked my fucking world once Tue momentum picked up! It wad at the end of the session that she surprised me and remembered it being my first time and took a 20 dollar bill out my donation and asked me to have a drink on her and thanked me for our time! Truly a cut above the rest! I simply cwouldn't end this without mentioning those bullet nipples! Personality attentive and most importantly satisfying experience! As long as your working I'll be there for my regular fix of Jenni the sex Goddess!! Keep up the great work!
Tried a few times to make appointments. Very aloof.always seems to be running out on personal issues. Not sure i will try again. Too bad there is no BBB for SP. I guess just not calling me back for an appointment. She is also prejudice again new Canadians. Looks good on web site but does not make it easy.
Blue Lagoon
Last night I had the absolute worst experience at bluelagoonspa! Booked one of the girls listed as camera shy on their shitty website and learned my lesson fast!!! There is a reason she is camera shy. Absolutely Terrible Service and I just wanted to leave the whole time during the session. All she did was complain and was not into it at all. Not only was the spa dirty but this girl was not hygienic either, failed to wash before and also after my session - what a PIG!!!
I will NEVER NEVER visit this shitty place again.
This was my first experience with an escort, so I was a bit tentative. When Cali opened the door, I was met with a amazing smile and an air of positive energy. I told her this was my first experience an she assured me we'll have a good time. I showered and we started with some light conversation. She started with some lfk and then went to a bbbj... and she was really good. Slowly with alot of kissing all over I went to DATY which she really enjoyed and the rest of the time went really quick. she felt really good and finished up with a cowgirl. An amazing time will reach out to her soon.
I had the great pleasure of spending an hour with Hailey a few weeks ago in early February. She provides a truly passionate and saisfying GFE. She met me at the door with a warm hug and kiss - hinting at what was to come - and cum :-) I just wish I could have spent a longer time with her and will definitely be seeing her again when my schedule allows.
I saw Emily for an hour session. She was very sweet and an absolute doll from the second she met me at the door. We had some trouble at the start getting candles and music going and she did NOT count it against my time. She never once complained, asked me to hurry or said "I don't want to do that". The best session I have ever had with an SP or otherwise. A guy could fall in love! Emaily, I'm sure I'll be seeing you again soon. xo
Blue Lagoon
In response to cooper above I wanted to mention that I had the pleasure of spending time with Selena recently who is a very pretty black haired Italian Gem! Her curves are killer and her personality is sweet, will definitely repeat! With her sensual massage and light DIGITS play I was in heaven.
Guess YMMV as it really depends on who you get....
Enchanted Garden
I was around Lawrence and Markham area for a client appointment. Unfortunately the appointment had to be postpone for another day. I had no intention to return to office in downtown as it was around 3.30 p.m. I grabbed a how magazine was went to the Tim's to have a coffee. While going through the pages I saw an add Enchanted Garden. I quickly dialed the number and she was available. I reached her destination within half hours. Whet up to meet her and she welcomed me at the door with a red dress, she was looking so sweet and sexy. We introduced each other and after some nipple sucking she started a CBJ with no hands and petty deep. I asked her to change position and started with the main menu. I complied and after a shot while I was done. She cleaned me up and asked me if I wanted a massage, which was nice and relaxing. She notices I was getting excite and preceded with another CBJ and ended with another, she started saying "come on baby" to finish. She cleaned me up for the second time and bit of playing around we said goodbye. Pretty good first visit session. I wish I get more and more client appointments around that area to see her more and more.
Sandy Daniels
I had a wonderful time, this was my second visit. This lady is warm and friendly and does not rush me out the door like other services I have experienced.
Very clean, private and comfortable environment.
She had an open minded approach to my interests and was comfortable preparing and delivering on what we had discussed prior to my arrival.
My experience overall was sensual and erotic as planned.
Her pictures don't do her justice, she looks much better in person.
When she greets me she is always warm and friendly and makes me feel comfortable.
She is in very good shape, lean and trim in all the right places with
a fluid set of curves that any refined individual would appreciate.
Her makeup looked sexy and her clothing was exactly what I wanted
to see.
Overall I enjoyed myself and I am satisfied with my experiences.
Asian Nicole
I've seen Nicole three times. First off, don't expect the girl in those pics. Definitely some air-brushing work done there. Her teeth are green too. 2 outta 3 times I have to admit the service was pretty good. She can deep-throat very well! and has nice moves fucking. The first visit she had mirrors everywhere which is great for watching the action!
Worth a try on a boring day. Don't expect the 'moon & the stars' and you will have fun.
Sandy Daniels
Hello to All. I feel bad, but I wasted my money on this lady. She says she is 49yrs old, More like 65yrs old. She was rude on the phone, but I still went thinking maybe she had a bad day. She was very nice at first with me, but we agreed on 250 for the hour. I dress very well, and when she saw me, she asked for more money than agreed on. This put me off right away. She is a very greedy lady to say the least.!!! Her service was sub poor. Has a nice apt downtown.
She is way past her code date, and seems she hates the job, and she is way older than she claims. Big waste of money.
Temptation Spa
Visited Temptation Spa again and this time saw Kendra. She was amazing. Great attitude and personality. For me a girl that's not a clock watcher, and is fun, sexy, & witty only enhances the experience. If, like me, you hate bolt on tits, Kendra has the most amazing big naturals you crave. Great session included many extras for $100. and she seemed to be having as much fun as I. A definite repeat is in store. Starting to love this place. Great lineup!
Temptation Spa
During the last few months I have visited this place at least 5 times and each time gets better and better. Ivana was just unreal with her soft sensual touch and flirty personality, really enjoyed my hour with her. Cleaned me up nice! Jasmine has Huge Juggs that I just cannot get enough of and they look and feel even better in person, nice firm and silky smooth skin and a pleasing attitude, what more can you ask for! I recommend you visit soon before the lineup changes....
Saw Sonya today, and wow was it hot , I couldnt ask for anything better amazing 5 stars from the start to the end it was like a dream come true, loved the back rub and the rim oh my can that tongue can work wonders. Gotta see her again and again she is the best in Winnipeg
I saw Jasmine again Friday morning, after a long absence. I can't understand why I waited so long. She's beautiful, and seems to enjoy herself as much as the client. When she entered the room I couldn't believe I have gone anywhere else. Her skills are amazing and without providing details let's just say I was very. very satisfied with my session. Can't wait to repeat.
Having been there a few times in the past I was sad to hear they were closed down. Seems like they were only closed for a few months and now I had the pleasure of booking an appointment this week and am happy to report the spa was clean, the service was great, and I left feeling relaxed like a king.... I wanted to use their coupon on their website but I didn't want that to interfere with the quality level of service, so I did not use it, instead paid full price for the room fee. Would really love to see a better website on their end though!
Looking forward to seeing Dallas again when she is in Vancouver. Saw her in Kelowna at Beach Bunnies there. My jaw must have dropped when she came around the corner. This girl is a real looker if you like petite spinner types. We had some great chemistry and I will definitely repeat. Been to that location quite a few times and it's always good service. Very classy and well run. Too bad there's only outcall in Vancouver.

The 2009 Play for the Planet, organized by UNEP in cooperation with Mavuno Michezo and in partnership with Bayer, was held from the 17 to 18 October at the coastal town of Mombasa, Kenya. The event brought together corporate partners, schools and young people who planted 25,000 trees and participated in a corporate challenge as well as promote environmental awareness.
Plant for the Planet
Following great media promotion by Capital Fm radio station, the weekend's activities kicked off at the Bamburi Haller Park where UNEP Play for the Planet has been reclaiming the rocky quarry, rejuvenating it into a conservancy filled with exotic wildlife. Bamburi cement provided land at the quarry where 10,000 trees were planted. The event also got overwhelming support from the British council and General Motors. This was soon followed by planting 3,000 trees in the city streets. The event was graced by the Town clerk of Mombasa who announced that the Municipality had pledge 2 million trees to the Billion tree campaign which will be planted by the end of 2010. In addition, this initiative which started in 2003 in conjunction with the University of Nairobi added another angle to its agenda. With the devastating food crisis, this year, Play for the Planet added an exciting twist by planting 12,000 indigenous and fruit trees found in the coastal area such as Neem, Mango and Jatropha. These trees were planted by students in over 10 schools in Mombasa. This long term, self sustaining initiative is aimed at providing school children with natural food supplements through fruit trees growing in their learning environment.
Play for the Planet
18 October brought all the participants to 'Play for the Planet!' bringing out the relation between sports and the environment. We can only play sports in a clean and health environment. Hosted by the Sarova Hotels, the white sandy beach was filled with sporting activities, and the competitors and participants took turns to sign the Seal the Deal! petition on climate change. There was great competition between teams from UNEP, Mavuno Michezo White Sands hotel and Kenya Ports Authority to win the cup in the beach volleyball and beach soccer tournaments. This year, the Play for the Planet yet again took another step towards meeting its goal to use the power of sport to provide a positive environment for interaction for young people and corporate organizations in Kenya.

The GOE Sawyer gets for his spins basically gives him an extra spin element worth of TES. Pretty impressive
Skate Canada: BUY MORE CHAIRS.
Reynolds in 4th place. That's gotta hurt!
Patrick still has a cold. Should be OK for SP though.
ouch! 4th place for Kevin.
Uh oh. Chan next. gulp. Come on Patrick!
Chan doubled the axel. No quad combo (landed the quad well though). Curious what the score will be.
I was hoping maybe Shawn could win this program, but I think asking for him to beat the almighty Chan is a bit too much
He'd get around 90.0 if clean, so I guess it'll be around 85.0
Well, Chan stayed on his feet so he'll probably get 100 points for that.
I do not think there was plan for a quad combo.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (303 votes).
In short: Never fails to please and sun this year - a real treat !!In full: Third time I've run this and enjoyed each one. Always well organised. Liked the different finish this year - very scenic views across RAE Farnborough.Only 'negative observation' how about a 'technical' T shirt ? I did the Turbo X again 2 weeks ago, also on army land and for less money they managed very nice ones. All in all though a great way to spend Sunday,thanks.Date of review: December 7, 2008
In short: The water was BalticIn full: Easy parking, lots of space at the start and plenty of room on the course to run at your pace - only one bottleneck. Muddy section was out of this world. I had to convince myself that my feet would eventually defrost after the proceeding water troughs.Date of review: December 7, 2008
In short: Stretches of mud and cold water but not as grim as I thought it would beeIn full: A good fun race and well marshalled, but I thought it would be tougher (and grimmer) than it was in reality. Yes, the water was cold but the course was more like a standard cross country course with some big puddles and nets thrown in. The really big puddles were great fun though, and I look forward to seeing the photos!Date of review: December 7, 2008
In short: Great off roader if you dont mind mud and waterIn full: Great day and great run, the sun was out and the water was freezing, once you eventually get wet through and realise it soon warms up again then the race is very enjoyable. Will be back next year.Date of review: December 7, 2008
In short: Coldest race I have ever done!! Finished with Ice on my head!In full: Great fun, really good course and seriously enjoyable! I am glad I did the Sunday race as the ice and frozen water made it a real challenge. Not half as tough as Hellrunner but it was a different race altogether, more water stretches but shallower and a lot less hills...Great fun and one for the diary.Date of review: December 7, 2008
In short: Ice Ice baby!!In full: The sight of them breaking the ice with a sledgehammer was great for the motivation! Lovely sunny day - albeit cold - the delay for traffic/ice issues mant it had warmed up a bit. They had us avoid much of the water/ditches which was a shame. The last mile or two had changed from 06 and 07 - so me making up time between 5 and 7 was a bad idea when more hills appeared... missed my target but still a 5 min PB...Date of review: December 7, 2008
In short: Not as hard as I thoughtIn full: Enjoyed this, but perhaps didn't find it as hard as I thought it would.Comment would be on the organisation - I'm happy to change in a tent (and often do at races) it was just a bit disappointing to have no ground sheet or sufficient number of chairs in the tent. Bit hard trying to keep your clean clothes clean when there's no-where to put them. For £24 I hopped they could have done better here.Date of review: December 7, 2008
In short: Puts the Fun into RunIn full: The best fun I have ever had in a run in 21 months of running. Last minute nerves (why am I here?) rapidly disappeared on a beautiful December morning. Water was cold, mud was squelchy and trainers are in the bin. No point worrying about finishing time, just enjoyed the whole experience. F.A.B.!Date of review: December 7, 2008
In short: Wet from the outset and very GRIM, but that what we paid for so - SUPERB!In full: Freezing cold, wet from the outset, muddy & f*cking brilliant!You know it's going to be a good day when you pull off the motorway and the event is sign-posted, so you don't have to squint at scribbled instructions as your printer has no ink and your too pikey to buy sat-nav. Makes the worst part of a race more pleasurable. Seemed really well organised to me. Only small moan would be people starting at the front with no intention of running therefore clogging it up, but it was supposed to be fun.I enjoyed it and it really is wet a Grim from the outset, by the end I couldn't feel my toes but that's what I paid my money for.Not as good as the British Military 10k, which is a more challenging course.Gonna whack this in the calendar for next year though, really enjoyed it. No idea of time as I was so relieved to cross the line I forgot to look and the website hasn't got the timing chip results yet.........Date of review: December 7, 2008
In short: FantasticDate of review: December 6, 2008

Interactive Travel Map|Text the Secretary|Trip PageAbout the Author: Kurt Campbell serves as Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs.
On May 20, 2010, Secretary Clinton departs for a week-long trip to Asia, her fifth trip to the region as Secretary of State. When the Secretary made her first trip to Asia last year, she sent a clear signal that we need strong partners across the Pacific, just as we need strong partners across the Atlantic.
The Secretary will travel first to Tokyo, where she will meet with Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama and Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada. We look forward to the visit with our Japanese ally. The Secretary will discuss with them the developing security situation on the Korean Peninsula, troubles in Thailand, and other pressing issues.
Our historic allies, such as Japan, as well as our emerging partnerships in Asia are indispensable to finding regional and global solutions to common global problems. As the Secretary said, "Asia is a contributor to global culture, a global economic power, and a region of vital importance to the United States today and into our future."
Nowhere may that be more evident right now than at the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, the next stop of the Secretary's trip. The Chinese Government and the City of Shanghai have organized the participation of more than 190 countries for the Expo, and Secretary Clinton made U.S. participation in the Expo a priority.
The Expo has allowed us to participate in public and commercial diplomacy in meaningful ways, and the USA Pavilion shares the best of America with the members of a young generation in China who may have had little exposure to the United States. As this generation of Chinese visit the Pavilion, they will be left with lasting impressions of who we are and what makes America unique. I think the Secretary will be pleased to see the Pavilion. I know I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Following her visit to Shanghai, the Secretary will travel to Beijing to participate in the second round of the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue, where Secretary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Geithner will join their respective Chinese Co-Chairs, State Councilor Dai Bingguo and Vice Premier Wang Qishan. Secretary Clinton will underscore the need for cooperation on regional security matters, including Iran and North Korea, and collaboration on global financial issues, climate change, energy security, and global development. The first Strategic and Economic Dialogue was held last summer in Washington. This meeting represents one of the largest groups of U.S. Cabinet officials to visit China together, with over a dozen U.S. Cabinet members and agency heads comprising the U.S. delegation.
Secretary Clinton will then proceed to Seoul, where she will meet with senior government officials to discuss regional stability and other issues with our Korean ally. During her travels, the Secretary will hold consultations with all of her counterparts on the security of the Korean Peninsula, an issue in which we all have a keen interest.
The video embedded in this blog is the first in a series in which my colleagues and I will keep you apprised of the trip. You can follow the Secretary's travels on DipNote's Travel Diary, www.state.gov and the Secretary's Interactive Travel Map. You will be able to submit questions through @StateDept on Twitter and Text the Secretary. We look forward to hearing from you.

I am an expatriate American English teacher in Shanghai. I visited the USA pavilion for the first time last week and I must tell you that it is a total embarrassment. Among my Chinses students, the joke is that the US built a giant air conditioner. Seriously, it is the ugliest pavilion on the site. Just take a look at the reviews on the Chinese internet or the one that Popular Science wrote about it. The only people who like it are the US officials who are responsible for it. I hope the Secretary lets people know how disappointed she is and holds somebody responsible for what every American in shanghai knows is a national shame.

I have a good friend w/ a 3 wk. old. She is having problems nursing and as a result her milk supply is now low. She has been working with a lactation consultant, and a supportive pediatrician. Fenugreek didn't have much of an effect, and now the doctor is recommending a non- FDA approved pharmaceutical (donpardome???) to increase milk supply. She is torn on what to do. Please help with any feedback or opinions!!

i'm a little confused, can you clarify? why is she torn? is it b/c the drug is not FDA approved? it sounds like she has gotten advice from her doc, is she unhappy w/the advice? is she looking for a 2nd opinion? what does the LC say about the drug?
i do have a friend who used it. i believe she had to order it through another country and the first time it was confiscated by customs, but ordered it again and got it.
breastfeeding drug
Thanks for the info PoshMama ~
To clarify, she is torn b/c it is not approved by the FDA. I guess she found out that it used to be used intravenously for cancer patients and had some severe effects taken that way ~ possibly death????
I think that when considering a newborn and weighing the risk to benefit, she is struggling with putting something in her body then giving it to her babe without as much info as she'd like.
I personally have a lot of skepticism w/ the FDA in general and try to avoid pharmaceuticals unless in emergencies, but she is just concerned about safety and long term effects. She is extremely motivated to breastfeed and will do what it takes w/in reason to have that relationship w/ her babe.
Does anyone know how long it's been out, and if there are side effects or risks?

as moderators of API, we wouldn't be able to advise on the risks or benefits of particular drugs, or to give medical advice. it sounds like your friend has some research to do. however, if someone has had a personal experience with a drug or procedure, they are more than welcome to share it.
Has your friend seen the research on it, I'd look on Hale's website and Dr Newman's
It's OTC here which says a lot, I took the medication myself with my first child.
Also it's often given to kids with reflux, the FDA bit is silly IMHO.
Sorry if I go across my bounds as a leader here, just trying to help
I took domperidone, and would definitely recommend it to anyone else. If she's concerned about passing it to her baby, it has an L1 classification by Hale (the safest) and is AAP approved for nursing moms.
The pro-breastfeeding info I've seen on the FDA approval issue characterizes the FDA's position as a crack-down reaction to the off-label use (i.e. as a galactogogue) of the drug, rather than a legitimate concern about it's safety.
This article on kellymom.com is a good starting point for reading up on domperidone, and contains lots of links to additional information:

AMY-bwing, bfing, cosleeping, attached mama to Conner, the love of my life and the best thing that ever happened to me! Born 3/15/2008
I take domperidone too. The FDA overreacted in my opinion. There were a few instnces of death, but it was with really high doses that were given intevenously which makes a huge difference. It actually shouldn't even be classified as the same as taking the medication orally. Also the patients were very sick people that were in the ICU. They used to give it to babies for reflux. The amount a baby gets from breastmilk is so much smaller than the dose babies used to be given for reflux. If you ask me the FDA was probably bought off by the formula companies to not approve dom. You can buy domperidone in Canada too. You can also get it in here in the US with a prescription and you have to get it at a compounding pharmacy. I don't know if your friend is still considering taking it, but she might want to check out MOBI (mothers overcoming breastfeeding issues), it's a group online that offers support, but also answers questions about problems bfing, especially low supply. Lots of mamas on MOBi take domperidone. There is a similar drug people have taken for low supply called Reglan, but it has more side effects such as depression. The side effects of dom are headache and abdominal cramps. I had abdominal cramps for about 2 weeks, but they went away. I've been taking it for 14 months with no problems. I take 160 mg/day which is the maximum dose, but I'm currently weaning off of it. Good luck to your friend. Seriously have her check out MOBI even if she doesn't want to take dom.

Farm Bill nutrition
Bob Kuylen, South Heart
There is an effort under way on Capitol Hill to pull the nutrition title from the farm bill. If that happens, we may not get a farm bill at all.
Of the 12 titles in the bill, nutrition or food stamps make up 80 percent of the bill's spending. The connection between growing food and feeding people is obvious and that tie needs to stay in place.
For decades, new farm bills have passed on a bipartisan basis through a strong urban-rural coalition. There is clout in numbers. Separating farm programs from nutrition programs will virtually silence the voice of family farmers and ranchers, who comprise only 2 percent of the population.
The need to keep the nutrition title in the farm bill goes far beyond political strategy. It is about basic education. It is rural America's opportunity to connect the dots in farm-to-table and farm-to-fuel concepts that consumers, taxpayers and the hungry understand. Those concepts support a family farm and ranch system that leads to a robust economy, a stronger rural America and energy-independent nation.
Food isn't anything new. Educating Americans on how food gets to their table and who grows it is important. That's one reason why North Dakota Farmers Union has three farmer-owned restaurants in the Washington, D.C., area. Knowledge is power. Nutrition programs need to remain in the farm bill for a healthy and strong America.

BEIJING, China - The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) announced today that track & field athlete Lopez Lomong (Tully, N.Y.) has been selected as flag bearer for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team by fellow members of Team USA. Lomong, 23, was notified of his selection Wednesday night via phone in Dalian, China, where he is training with the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Team.
"This is the most exciting day ever in my life," Lomong said. "It's a great honor for me that my teammates chose to vote for me. The Opening Ceremony is the best day and the best moment of Olympic life. I'm here as an ambassador of my country and I will do everything I can to represent my country well."
To select the flag bearer, U.S. captains from each sport met in the Athlete Village Wednesday night, in person and via conference call for those not yet in Beijing. Any captain was able to bring forward a nominee from any sport. After the nominations and a discussion period, the athletes voted, selecting Lomong.
Lomong will compete in the 1,500 meters in Beijing in what is his first international appearance. He finished third at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Track & Field in Eugene, Ore., with a time of 3:41.00. Lomong attended Northern Arizona University, where he won the 2007 NCAA outdoor 1,500 meter title and the 2007 NCAA indoor 3,000 meter title.
Lomong has overcome an overwhelming array of obstacles in becoming a top American middle distance runner. He was born in Sudan, fleeing the country when he was 6 years old and becoming separated from his family. He was sent to live in a refugee camp in Kenya for 10 years, and in 2000 he walked five miles to watch the Sydney Olympic Games on a black-and-white TV. It was then that his Olympic dream began. Watching U.S. track & field athlete Michael Johnson run, Lomong remarked that "I'd like to run like that guy." He wrote a moving essay in 2001 about what he would strive to accomplish if he lived in America, and his heartfelt words prompted officials to give him that chance. He was moved to the United States to live with a foster family in Tully, N.Y., and became a U.S. citizen in July 2007, a moment he says has changed his life forever.
"The American flag means everything in my life - everything that describes me, coming from another country and going through all of the stages that I have to become a U.S. citizen," Lomong said. "This is another amazing step for me in celebrating being an American. Seeing my fellow Americans coming behind me (in the Opening Ceremony) and supporting me will be a great honor - the highest honor. It's just a happy day. I don't even have the words to describe how happy I am."
Please note, the August 7 9:00 am USOC flag bearer press conference has been RESCHEDULED due to Lomong's training location. The press conference has been rescheduled for August 8 at 10:00 am in Main Press Center press conference room 4.

text: The increased availability of customer energy usage data (CEUD) is one of the numerous benefits of Smart Grid improvements. CEUD allows for more efficient power use by utilities and customers to better deal with spikes in demand. Utilities can avoid having to use expensive "peaker plants" which kick in when energy demands exceed normal levels of supply. And with greater access to information about their own CEUD, customers can make more informed choices about when and how much electricity to use. The paper explores the issue of third party access to CEUD and its benefits, as well as the potential privacy risks. It examines the potential new products and services created by third party access which may support conservation and new market opportunities.
