A reliable trainer for overpronators seeking high mileage comfort, the Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 features moderate cushioning and a semi-soft ride.
Get the support you need and the style you crave with Mizuno's Wave Inspire 9. A springy wave plate in the midsole works wonders to disperse impact away from your legs, giving this shoe a firm and responsive underfoot feel. The great fitting upper hugs your foot snugly in the midfoot, and open mesh keeps air flowing around the foot. A stable platform corrects overpronating feet, to keep you running smoothly.
Model Number:
Weight: 8.3 oz (size 8)
Stack Height: Heel (29mm), Forefoot (17mm)
Available Widths: 2A=Narrow, B=Medium, D=Wide
How it fits (based on width B)
The Inspire 9 is a moderate feature, moderate support shoe designed for daily training and high mileage.
Comments: I have a long standing Achilles tendonitis issue and recent knee pain. Have been running since 1996. Am over 40, with 15-20 miles weekly mileage. I purchased this shoe with an orthotic insert and they are AMAZING. Nice and light and a lot of support. I am able to continue running. Training for a half marathon and will buy another pair of these shoes to "break them in" before the race.
From: Kara, North Dallas, Texas
Comments: I began training for a 10 mile race this April. I got professionally fitted for a shoe that would help with a knee/hip issue due to iliotibial band syndrome which I had due to a tennis injury. I am also a heel striker. These shoes have the perfect amount of cushioning to reduce to impact from my strike up my legs and on my knees. I have had no issues with them since the first run, and am very pleased with the fit. I normally wear a 7 1/2 but sized up to an 8 and they fit perfect. I normally wear adidas or new balance but will buy mizunos again. Highly recommend.
From: Beth Stark, Swartz Creek, MI, USA
Comments: I bought these shoes to try when Asics changed from the 2170 to the 2000. These shoes are so light weight and comfortable I will likely never go back to Asics which feel like blocks when I put them on now. I used to add additional arch supports to my Asics but I haven't needed anything in the Mizunos. I have a normal arch but a very flexible foot so I tend to get medial shin splints. With the Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 my feet and ankles are comfortable from the start of my run to the end. I was a little concerned about the amount of mesh and how wet I'd get on a rainy day - I tested them out today in the rain and by the end of my 6 mile run my socks were only a little damp. The good part about the mesh is these will probably dry really fast! I love my Mizunos! I got both the blue and the silver/blue. They run small so I had to order a half size larger.
From: Katrina, NH, USA
Comments: I just received my first pair of mizunos. I've always worn brooks adrenaline. I usually wear a 10 wide but only 10.5 wide was available and they fit just right since I also have arch support insoles. These have great support and are tighter around the heel so my heel doesn't slip like in my brooks. I'm a mid foot striker and it seems the brooks ravena I tried had more cushion but was so heavy compared to this shoe. If I was a full time runner I'd get the brooks ravena but I use these shoes for 40 min of walk jog-3 to 4 times a week and Zumba classes so the light weight of this shoe is perfect for me. The width runs a little narrow since my brooks were a 10 med width but these I had to have a 10.5 wide. The price was $20 less than my local running store which had hardly anything in stock. Thanks running warehouse! I'll be getting all my shoes here from now on.
From: Aimee, Houston, TX
Comments: This shoe is very lightweight and seems to have plenty of support for my high arch/overpronating foot; however, I was hoping for a more comfortable shoe. I have never run in anything but Brooks, and was looking forward to trying Mizunos, which I have heard good things about. Compared to Brooks, the shoe felt very hard and was uncomfortable. After the first run, my feet felt so tired and sore! I will be returning these blue beauties!
From: Jess, Kansas

This Hollywoood-inspired salad of gorgeous greens topped with chicken, bacon, egg, tomato, avocado and blue cheese is kissed by a tempting lemon vinaigrette.
The traditional way to serve a cobb salad is with the ingredients arranged in rows on lettuce as pictured.
Fry and crumble the bacon, and cook, cool and chop the eggs the night before you plan to serve this satisfying salad.
On a time budget? Look for crumbled blue cheese and ready-to-go salad blends at your grocery store.

There is already an Instructable on making a cryptex published lately, but I wasn't satisfied by that one. That cryptex was held together on the outside, like this. I prefer my cryptex held together from the inside, like this. That is by the way the 'real' cryptex, like it is used in the film. Those are harder to make.
A cryptex is a kind of lock with a password, that holds a roll of paper. Author Dan Brown said in his "Da Vinci Code", a book from some years ago, that Leonardo da Vinci invented it, to let messengers carry secret papyrus rolls that the messengers themselves may not read; only the sender and the recipient know the password. If the messenger would smash the cryptex to read the message, a vial containing vinegar which was rolled inside of the papyrus roll would also break even earlier than the cryptex itself, the vinegar would spread over the message, disolve the ink, making it unreadable.
The term 'cryptex' is actually made up by Dan Brown. I don't even know for sure that it's true that Da Vinci invented it, he never actually made one, he would have made a blueprint in his diary, but I never found that page of his diary(so I made my own blueprint, see the next step). What I do know, is that the vinegar thing doesn't work. It doesn't disolve the ink so much that it gets unreadable, it becomes only a little more vague. I tested it with Black Indian ink, several kinds of pen inks, marker pens, ecoline, pencils, and some more; it never worked, just like Wikipedia says.
In the Da Vinci Code, the cryptexes were used different than how they were meant by Da Vinci, in the story they use it as a part of a big puzzle, the answer to a riddle is the password of a cryptex, which contains another riddle that leads to another cryptex, etc. To my opinion the use of cryptexes in such a way is a bit ridiculous, the characters in the book could've just put the cryptex in the freezer so that the vinegar gets frozen, then they could saw it open without danger. But they didn't think of that easy solution in the book.
In the comments below, 'cavingboy92' came up with this genious way to make use of the vinegar vial: on the paper around the vial, don't write with ink, but also with vinegar. If you want to read the message, pour a PH indicator on it(like red cabbage juice), and you can see the text. Or you can just hold it under a low heat source like a light bulb, then you can see it too, because the acid will oxidate.
If the vial breaks, the piece of paper gets all drenched in vinegar, so it's absolutely sure that it's unreadable!
Here is the proof that it works, tested by cavingboy92.
You could also just put the same inkin the vial as the ink where you wrote with on the paper, that would also destroy the message.
If you want more ways on how you could use a vial-break-delfdestroy mechanism, read throught the comments below, there are a lot of people giving suggestions for it, and also on improving the cryptex.
Finally, if you disolve a lot of salt in the vinegar, I think you can lower the freezing point of it so much that it can't get frozen in a normal kitchen freezer, then the freeze method also won't work so easily, you would have to find a special freezer in a lab or something.

The latest exD DSD DAC is about to be launched. It is a DUAL DIFFERENTIAL DAC that will play DSD natively and play PCM up to 24/192. On a Mac you need AUDIRVANA PLUS, which is a great player for native DSD as well as PCM. It will convert DSD to PCM and then export it to iTunes to make a CD. It will integrate with iTunes or not as you like.
If you use a PC then any of the DSD player will be fine.
More details on the exD DSD DAC very shortly. I am hoping to offer this to the UK and EU very soon.

I have not been able to try the Sonore that playsback DSD. We have been contacting all
the hardware manufacturers so that we can start doing some testing here and hope to have some answers in the coming months. It is great to see that there is a good deal of positive movement to support DSD native downloads

Do you have more news regarding the Sonore exD? Did you try it?
Where can I read information regarding the "new one out soon"?

If you have a Mac then try Audirvana. This is free but will not play native DSD unless you upgrade to the Plus version. The cost is very low at about £35 and worth every penny of it (or any other currency) so its as good as free for macs
You can integrate it with iTunes or use it as a stand alone player. If you do not have a DSD DAC yet it will convert DSD files to PCM at the maximum your DAC will accept. For me a DSD file even converted to PCM 24/96 is far better than an original PCM file. It seems more open and more realistic. A great palyer.
The only problem is getting a DSD DAC at a price that is not for professionals. There is one that is worth looking at - exD-audio (from Japan) offer one through Sonore in the USA . I am trying to get them to get a distributor in the UK/Europe so that buying is a lot easier for us who are subject to VAT. They are also bringing a new one out soon so keep looking on the internet.
I think DSD has to be the future for audiophiles and although expensive at the moment the more that becomes available I am sure the prices will drop. To me the sound is as close to the real thing as one could get. It's vinyl without the clicks and bangs!

Skip to comments.RUMOR: Pit Bull VP Candidates (Chris Christie, Gingrich?) being considered to counter Obama attacks
Posted on 07/15/2012 5:26:53 AM PDT by mitchell001
Could the Romney campaign be forced to consider Pit Bull candidates such as Chris Christie or Newt Gingrich to help the GOP go on offense against Obama's unfair, untrue Romney attacks? Milktoast candidates such as Pawlenty, Condi Rice, Portman, etc. may not fit the bill.
Problem with Gingrich is his full blown attacks against Bain Capital in the primary. He won't be the pick.
Hillary is available. She'd be a perfect combo with Willard.
If they have buried the hatchet...anything is possible.
That's too bad. Gingrich could be the perfect prescription for Gov. Romney's campaign. Knows the issues better than anyone else on the horizon and can out_debate them all.
Let's face it. It's a beauty contest. There isn't enough lipstick and eyeshadow for either one. Next!
He is a pitt bull that would destroy Obama and Biden, energize the base, bring to Romney a deep understanding of how the system works (and doesn't work), bring to Romney a vast knowledge of foreign affairs and history, and keep the responsibility for the requisite nastiness away from Romney.
romney is getting a taste of his own tactics after what he did to Newt and Santorum along with four year ago attacks on huckleberry and McCain. If romney has a brain his VP would be Hurricane Palin, Newt, or West. Palin has already been vetted and the commies fired every bullet at her and she is still standing strong. They have no more ammo to fire at Sarah and she would be an excellent pick.
Both Newt and Krispy Kreme have mouths that Romney wouldn't risk adding to his team.
Instead, I think we should look to whom among the milquetoasts he would perceive to be politically assertive. TPaw, maybe?
Nah, I still guess that Portman's the guy he wants to pick—and so he'll find a way to rationalize that.
Ryan or West could shred Barry0.
Amen on Allen West. He's the best pit bull and a quick responder.
Why do people constantly feel the desire to parrot pundits? In response to this latest RUMOR about Condi, her spokeswoman said no almost immediately and then Condi came out again and said no.
Just what is it that people just don't understand about NO!? But no, they're just too fargin smart to realize that if she were to flip after being so emphatic that she and the campaign would be discredited big time anyway. Sheesh!
Must have been a slow day at the Drudge novelty stand. Maybe he should do what he does best. Sell papers, candy and sodas while looking important at spreading rumors. He was played by someone big time.
Top Romney source my arsche! I would wager it is the etch-a-sketch douche-bag wanting to stir things up just to show everyone just how friggin smart he is, not. The Stupid Party never ceases to amaze me with their total and utter incompetence or the people who support them to fall for it EVERY TIME IT IS TRIED.
Actually, has Romney considered asking Obama to be his VP? They see eye to eye on everything!
I'd more likely suspect dem subterfuge. They have done it for years.
Newt would be a good pick but I think he will go for someone else—They will be a former Governor and from the southern states. They will not be everyone's choice but I tend to think they will be conservative to some degree. Someone who did well in the primaries would be good. A pit Bull is needed to carry the fight to the foe. I don't see any republican women, save Sarah Palin, who could do this and she is toxic. Rubio is too much of a pandering choice—a vain attempt to get Mexican votes. Christie would be interesting—but he may well be better for another job. The Governor of Texas? Bobbie J.? A political animal is needed—and one that will make the Tea Party sing loud and hard and bring in the south.
That is conventional, inside-the-box thinking.
Romney's success in life is due almost completely to his application of the Bill Bain approach to problem solving and growth...and that is the use of "strategy" and the relentless way it is implemented.
Strategy, in Bain's case, is defined as (I paraprase) "determine the goals (long and short) and develop an equation of how to get there...and then wage all out war to implement said strategy and achieve the objective."
Thinking outside the box is a big part of what Bain and Romney do!
Yeah, but Romney is already under attack over Bain and no matter how much of a total BS red-herring the attacks may be, Gingrich's having made such attacks would only lend support to those attacks.
Palin, Newt or West would be fine.
If I were Romney (God forbid) I'd shake things up by picking one of the 3 above and announcing that I would resign as President after 2 years. This would mean that voters would be voting for two presidents at once. There is no law forbidding such a scheme. Knowing for certain that a vote for Romney would mean a president Palin, Gingrich or West in two years would bring all conservatives to the polls. I swore I'd never vote for Romney but this would cause me to break my vow...the new president would be able to serve for ten years if re-elected twice.
Would a true patriot give up the presidency after two years to save the nation from another Obama term? I think a true patriot would, (I have doubts Romney would)
Obama would not counter by replacing Biden with Hillary and resigning after two years.... the narcissism would not allow for it.
OK, it's yet another crackpot idea from me but hey, we live in strange times and it takes strange ideas to survive (that's why I was rooting for Newt)
Allen West is the correct pick. Former military. Is not afraid of the Democrats. Is not afraid of muslims.
I would love to see Newt...but I doubt it will happen....and I do like Christie...as Governor of NJ.
>>Newt would be the dream Veep for me.
VP's don't do much but play the pit bull and go to funerals.
I'd like to see him as SecState. That would a position where his intelligence, encyclopedic knowledge, and fantastic debating skills could make a difference in world affairs. Only thing is, would he be able to follow someone else's script.
I thought the thread needed a link to real punditry regarding Romney needing a "pit bull" VP, which I happen to agree with. I'd pay to see a Gingrich v Biden debate.
LOL...that is why the only possible position for Newt is Veep (except for pitt bull attacks, it is a meaningless job).
No need for a pick from the South, as Romney will win those states anyway.
Gingrich and Perry have already shown weakness in speaking on the national stage.
Jindal is the only Southern guv that Romney might pick, because he's suitably milquetoast but also 'of color'.
True for Perry, but Newt was a thing of pure marvel on the national stage (i.e. debate).
Pay? Sheesh, aren't we paying enough already? Rhetorically and figuratively. Seems too many are engaged in a wishful thinking traffic circle with no exits. All the while, Romney takes another friggin two day vacation to his lake house!
Take a powder after getting sworn in Mitt! The current usurper has been on one since putting The Office of the President Elect behind him and the media just loves that. I'm sure they wouldn't notice a couple weeks in the Caymans while you write your first State of the Union address.
Spitting nails with blood shooting from my eyes!
"Hillary is available. Shed be a perfect combo with Willard."
I like it!
"I remember when radicals used to criticize me about Whitewater investments, then as now, the little people just don't understand how our system works..."
Speaking of sheesh ... you might want to lighten up on the RedBull ...
I don't know, I kind of like it. Better than McCain running to wherever and doing whatever Obama, the democrats and the msm told him.
It makes too much sense.
Once all these rumor balloons float away, I am preparing to be extremely underwhelmed by the acutal announcement.
Just tell Mitt that Baraq is a conservative. Pit bull problem solved.
Red Bull? I took an Ambien two hours ago! Hey, it works for the Kennedy's and other government officials! LOL
"Hillary is available. Shed be a perfect combo with Willard."
Sadly, she's probably more conservative. I don't remember her trying to force tyrannical government mandates down everyone's throats.
When you support a candidate just because he has an R behind his name, be aware that you might just end up with a Bloomberg and a national soda restriction.....under the blessing of the GOP.
As a consequence of the recent descent and demise of the infamous JoePaw, I think it might be time to "bury" that moniker.....
Plus he would help undercut losses to the Constitution Party candidate in VA. The reality remains that when in power, Gingrich is about the only guy around who really cut gov't.
Your Post #11 is RIGHT ON!!!
"A political animal is needed"
I disagree. How about a guy who speaks and stands for the truth regardless of the political consequences? I think Romney and his ever shifting positions are enough "political animal" for me. I think you will find the GOP is full of "political animals".
I dont remember her (Hillary) trying to force tyrannical government mandates down everyones throats.
WHAT????? You must be very young or very forgetful. Don't you remember that Bill put Hillary over coming up with a National Health Plan and Congress rejected it?
Not the way Mitt and his team would look at it.
Newt is an unlikable, loose-cannon, motormouth by their standards.
Ha! Hadn't thought of that.
Then again, 'Tim' is very weak as a candidate name—might still be better off with TPaw.
Palin, Newt, or West
I would be happy with any of the three. I wish but I don't dare hope. My hopes for anyone to my liking to vote for have been dashed. I am resigned to ABO. That's as good as it gets, I suppose.
And that's a bad thing?;-)
Problem with Gingrich is the debate moment when Romney pummelled him with "resigned in disgrace." It's on video and the Obama people would love to run the ads using it.
Gingrich could have defended himself more vigorously and we wouldn't be having this discussion right now. :(

Have you ever started feeling sore immediately following a long ride, or maybe even toward the end of tough effort, before you're even off the bike? If the answer is yes, your long-ride nutrition regimen has a gaping flaw that can be repaired instantly with Hammer's Perpetuem Solids. But before explaining the benefits of Perpetuem Solids you really need to know why you've encountered early exercise-induced muscle fatigue.
Your body in hour three or later of a long, sustained effort is a lot like your laptop computer's OS running 19 programs at once, in the breeze-less, 90-degree-sun, the fan blowing full, and the battery at 12%. The longer you stretch your own "computational" capabilities, the more you're calling upon finite resources. On a ride lasting longer than two hours, refueling with carbs is no longer enough. This is because even the process of converting carbs into fuel scavenges other critical resources, like amino acids. And the conversion of any carbohydrate or other fuel, whether consumed or already in your bloodstream, creates a chain reaction of oxidization, where free-radicals are released, creating harm (and performance limitations) throughout your entire system. And ...complex carbs, soy protein, and amino acids to stave off muscle fatigue... though aminos are also anti-oxidants, your body is calling upon them for energy conversion, limiting their use for fighting off oxidization. The harder you work, the worse the drain on your limited amino supplies and the broader the free-radical release.
Because bringing a turkey on rye in your jersey pocket isn't especially convenient for mid-ride refueling, Hammer makes Perpetuem Solids in tablet form. A caution here: This isn't a sugary Snicker's bar or other highly sweetened gel. Hammer specifically makes the 33-calorie tablets small enough to chew and purposely avoids any refined sugar use, which will incite that awful spike-and-crash cycle that leads to highly uneven performance. That lack of refined sugar does make consuming Perpetuem Solids some level of work, because they're fairly hard and crunchy, so most athletes make sure to consume them one bite at a time, chewing through them when the ride-load is less intense, but at regular enough intervals to stabilize the losses caused by the effort or race.
By the way, instead of using refined sugars for fuel, the complex carbohydrates in Perpetuem Solids come via maltodextrin, which has the advantage of being gluten-free for those with wheat allergies, and it metabolizes more slowly and consistently. Protein is sourced from soy, which is more readily digestible during exercise than the whey you'll find in Hammer's recovery powders, like Hammer Whey. Further, Hammer includes Carnosine, a combination of amino acid and stomach-acid buffer that your body needs to both fight free-radical production and more efficiently process the protein/carbs in Perpetuem Solids tabs.
Hammer Perpetuem Solids are a ready and convenient, critical long-ride food containing complex carbohydrates, soy-derived protein, and amino acids. They are sold in a 90-tablet container and flavors include Caffe Latte (contains caffeine), Orange Vanilla, and Strawberry Vanilla.

I think the meeting between Sasuke and Naruto after the Danzo fight was meant to add a little hype to "Naruto vs. Sasuke" I'm almost sure he will implement the fight somehow. Just not in the seemingly obvious way we thought it seems. Kishimoto likes to keep you guessing when he can. I do hope they team up as well. I can't even imagine all the emotion that would be wrapped around Naruto and Sasuke fighting side by side again.
Also, I agree with POW. It would be amazing to see the third fight with no limitations. He was old in the fight vs. Orochimaru, but to see the man who knows over 1,000 jutsu let loose unbound would be quite a treat.
And I can only dream of a bunch of Naruto clones using FTG on the battlefield. I really felt that Chakra Mode was a prelude to him learning FTG. Especially when Tsunade said that they would leave FTG to HIM. They were already talking about Madara, so I believe that there is no way that she wasn't referring to Naruto.

Turning a convention center into a basketball arena
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - The next few days more than 300 basketball players will be running up and down the court in this year's Appalachian Athletic Conference.
But something you might be surprised to hear is that games are being held inside the Meadowview Convention Center. We wanted to know, what does it take to set up the temporary arena?
Talk about a courtside seat -- the Meadowview Convention Center is definitely not where you would expect to see a basketball court. "We were looking at it at the beginning, you could see the creases in the floor. So we were a little skeptical, but not really nervous. It was nice, felt like a regular wood court," said Krystal Morissette, a forward for Columbia College.
Teams are playing on a 94' regulation-size court. You might be asking yourself, how did the room transform to a basketball court? Believe it or not, it only took about three hours to set up. "That includes setting up goals, shot clocks, game clocks, the whole nine yards," said Frank Lett with Kingsport Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The Convention and Visitors Bureau is now the proud owner of two portable courts. "It definitely had a nice bounce to it," added Morisette. "I compared it to an NBA-style tile and it looked really nice," said Kadijah Watts, a guard for Columbia College.
The price tag on both basketball courts was about $200,000, but we learned it was actually out-of-town visitors that footed the bill through a lodging tax.
These courts have a future: we learned they'll be used for volleyball and basketball tournaments during the next few months. "We're one of the only facilities on the east coast right now that has a convention center tied with a full-service hotel all in one location," added Lett.
That's a win-win situation for players. "I don't have to wake up earlier, I don't have to do anything extra. I can just get up, come here, practice, warm up, and win. Then start it all over again," added Watts.
News 5 learned when it comes to fans, about 600 seats are currently available with enough room to add another 400 seats around the one court.

The Parthenon Sculptures
The question of where the surviving sculptures from the Parthenon should now be displayed has long been a subject of public discussion. This page provides key information for understanding the complex history of the Parthenon and its sculpture. The main arguments of the debate are also presented here. For another view, see the website of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture: www.culture.gr
What is the Parthenon and how did the sculptures come to London?
The Parthenon in Athens has a long and complex history. Built nearly 2,500 years ago as a temple dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena, it was for a thousand years the church of the Virgin Mary of the Athenians, then a mosque, and finally an archaeological ruin. The building was altered and the sculptures much damaged over the course of the centuries. The first major loss occurred around AD 500 when the Parthenon was converted into a church. When the city was under siege by the Venetians in 1687, the Parthenon itself was used as a gunpowder store. A huge explosion blew the roof off and destroyed a large portion of the remaining sculptures. The building has been a ruin ever since. Archaeologists worldwide are agreed that the surviving sculptures could never be re-attached to the structure.
By 1800 only about half of the original sculptural decoration remained. Between 1801 and 1805 Lord Elgin, the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, of which Athens had been a part for some 350 years, acting with the full knowledge and permission of the Ottoman authorities, removed about half of the remaining sculptures from the fallen ruins and from the building itself. Lord Elgin was passionate about ancient Greek art and transported the sculptures back to Britain. The arrival of the sculptures in London had a profound effect on the European public, regenerating interest in ancient Greek culture and influencing contemporary artistic trends. These sculptures were acquired from Lord Elgin by the British Museum in 1816 following a Parliamentary Select Committee enquiry which fully investigated and approved the legality of Lord Elgin's actions. Since then the sculptures have all been on display to the public in the British Museum, free of entry charge.
Where can the surviving sculptures from the Parthenon be seen?
About 65% of the original sculptures from the Parthenon survive and are located in museums across Europe. The majority of the sculptures are divided between the Acropolis Museum in Athens and the British Museum in London (about 30% each), while important pieces are also held by other major European museums, including the Louvre and the Vatican.
1. Parthenon Sculptures in Athens
The Greek authorities have removed the remaining sculptures from the Parthenon, work that was begun over 200 years ago by Elgin. All of the sculptures have now been removed from the building and are displayed in the Acropolis Museum.
2. Parthenon Sculptures in London
The sculptures in London, sometimes known as the 'Elgin Marbles', have been on permanent public display in the British Museum since 1817, free of charge. Here they are seen by a world audience and are actively studied and researched to promote worldwide understanding of ancient Greek culture. The Museum has published the results of its research extensively. Working closely with colleagues at the Acropolis Museum, new discoveries of ancient applied colour on the sculptures have been made with the application of special imaging technology.
3. Parthenon Sculptures in other museums
The following institutions also hold sculpture from the Parthenon:
- Musée du Louvre, Paris
- Vatican Museums
- National Museum, Copenhagen
- Kunsthistorisches Museum,Vienna
- University Museum, Würzburg
- Glyptothek, Munich
What has the Greek Government asked for?
Since the early 1980s Greek governments have argued for the permanent removal to Athens of all the Parthenon sculptures in the British Museum. The Greek government has also disputed the British Museum Trustees' legal title to the sculptures. For more information on the Greek Government's official position, see the website of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture: www.culture.gr
What is the British Museum's position?
The British Museum tells the story of cultural achievement throughout the world, from the dawn of human history over two million years ago until the present day. The Parthenon Sculptures are a significant part of that story. The Museum is a unique resource for the world: the breadth and depth of its collection allows a world-wide public to re-examine cultural identities and explore the complex network of interconnected human cultures. The Trustees lend extensively all over the world and over two million objects from the collection are available to study online. The Parthenon Sculptures are a vital element in this interconnected world collection. They are a part of the world's shared heritage and transcend political boundaries.
The Acropolis Museum allows the Parthenon sculptures that are in Athens (approximately half of what survive from antiquity) to be appreciated against the backdrop of ancient Greek and Athenian history. The Parthenon sculptures in London are an important representation of ancient Athenian civilisation in the context of world history. Each year millions of visitors, free of charge, admire the artistry of the sculptures and gain insight into how ancient Greece influenced – and was influenced by – the other civilisations that it encountered.
The Trustees are convinced that the current division allows different and complementary stories to be told about the surviving sculptures, highlighting their significance within world culture and affirming the place of Ancient Greece among the great cultures of the world.

Wildfire burning on Kingsbury Grade
June 13, 2013
Firefighters are assessing an approximately 5-10-acre wildfire on the Carson Valley side of Kingsbury Grade that is growing in size.
The fire is spreading at a moderate rate to the northeast, according to the Sierra Front Interagency Dispatch.
Douglas County dispatchers received a report of the fire about 3 p.m. The fire is located about a mile from the top of the grade, according to a Wednesday afternoon press release.
"The wind is blowing strong and pushing the fire in a northeast direction," according to the release.
Nevada Highway Patrol have been called in to close Kingsbury Grade from the summit to the Carson Valley floor. Responders have asked people to stay away from Kingsbury Grade.
All East Fork volunteers have been called to their stations to handle calls while the district is engaged fighting the fire. Agencies that have responded to the blaze so far include the Tahoe Douglas Fire District, U.S. Forest Service and Nevada Division of Forestry.
There's no room on Kingsbury Grade for through traffic and staging areas are in the Park and Ride at the base of the grade.
No structures are immediately threatened by the fire. Firefighters are concerned that if the fire continues in the direction it's headed, downslope winds could drive it into Genoa.

CEO Incentives: It's Not How Much You Pay, But How
Michael C. Jensen

Kevin J. Murphy
University of Southern California - Marshall School of Business; USC Gould School of Law
Michael C. Jensen, FOUNDATIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY, Harvard University Press, 1998; Harvard Business Review, No. 3, May-June 1990
Paying top executives better would eventually mean paying them more. The arrival of spring means yet another round in the national debate over executive compensation. Soon the business press will trumpet answers to the questions it asks every year: Who were the highest paid CEOs? How many executives made more than a million dollars? Who received the biggest raises? Political figures, union leaders, and consumer activists will issue now-familiar denunciations of executive salaries and urge that directors curb top-level pay in the interests of social equity and statesmanship. The critics have it wrong. There are serious problems with CEO compensation, but excessive pay is not the biggest issue. The relentless focus on how much CEOs are paid diverts public attention from the real problem--how CEOs are paid. In most publicly held companies, the compensation of top executives is virtually independent of performance. On average, corporate America pays its most important leaders like bureaucrats. Is it any wonder then that so many CEOs act like bureaucrats rather than the value-maximizing entrepreneurs companies need to enhance their standing in world markets? We recently completed an in-depth statistical analysis of executive compensation. Our study incorporates data on thousands of CEOs spanning five decades. The base sample consists of information on salaries and bonuses for 2,505 CEOs in 1,400 publicly held companies from 1974 through 1988. We also collected data on stock options and stock ownership for CEOs of the 430 largest publicly held companies in 1988. In addition, we drew on compensation data for executives at more than 700 public companies for the period 1934 through 1938.

Located in Mineral County, Nevada, Marietta is the Nation's first formally recognized Wild Burro Range.The 68,000-acre range is managed for between 78-104 wild burros (Equus asinus asinus). The burros roam freely near the ruins of the historic Nevada mining town of Marietta and the seasonally changing Teels Marsh.
The Marietta Wild Burro Range was publicly dedicated in 1991-- the 20th anniversary of passage of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act.
The range is located south east of Hawthorne, Nevada. The area includes nearly 66,500 acres of public land. Patented mining claims around Teels Marsh and the Marietta mining district account for 1,500 acres of private lands within the area.
Designation as a Wild Burro Range means the area may be managed "principally", but not necessarily exclusively, for wild burros. This is a national designation conferred by the Director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). One reason for this area's designation as a range is the unique opportunity available for public viewing of the herd and its habitat.
Congress said "...wild free-roaming horses and burros are living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West...they contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people." The Marietta Wild Burro Range is one of about 15 areas where burros can be found in Nevada. As of August 2011, there were approximately 38,500 wild horses (Equus caballas) and burros on BLM-managed lands. A majority of these animals reside in Nevada and are managed by the BLM.
Wild burros evolved in the deserts of northern Africa and parts of Asia. They adapted to hot, dry summers, cold winters and marginal food sources. These traits combined with physical strength made the burro a useful pack animal.
Early explorers brought both horses and burros to the New World. Today's populations reflect Nubian (africanus) and Somalian (somaliensis) characteristics. The Nubian is the most dominant subspecies. It has a black stripe across the shoulders and one that extends down the middle of the back. The Somalian has stripes on both the front and back legs resembling a zebra. Hair color varies from a bluish tint to shades of gray. Combinations of white, black and brown are common.
During the late 1800s, miners used burros as pack animals while prospecting for gold and silver in the Marietta Mining District. Some of these animals escaped or were released into the desert area surrounding Teels Marsh.
The Marietta herd is unique in Nevada, since this is one of the most northern burro populations of any size. The animals themselves are larger than those encountered in areas to the south.
Vegetation throughout the range includes various grasses, brush and trees. The burro prefers Indian ricegrass and four-wing saltbush, but will eat whatever it can to survive.
Even though this area is a desert, there are several springs within the range where the burros seek water. The most used springs are on the west edge of Teels Marsh. During the hot summer months, the burros are usually within two miles of water, especially females with young foals. As fall approaches, the burros disperse and are found at the higher elevations and up to six miles from water. Wild burros have been known to walk 15 miles without water and then drink five gallons in two and a half minutes, a capability surpassed only by the camel.
Burros grow to be about half the size of a horse and weigh between 400 and 600 pounds. Males are called jacks, and females are called jennies.
The differences between horses and burros are easy to see. Burros have longer ears and short manes and tails. Burros also "bray" instead of "whinny".
Babies are born once per year usually between March and July. In the wild, mountain lions are the only natural predator.
It will take just over one hour to drive the 55 miles from Hawthorne, Nevada to the turn-off to Marietta. Travel south from Hawthorne on Interstate Highway 95. Turn southwest onto State Route 360 towards Benton California. Then turn west onto the maintained dirt county road to Marietta. You can also reach the Marietta Wild Burro Range by traveling north on Highway 95 from Tonopah. Take Highway 6 west to the 360 turn-off. Continue north to the Marietta turn-off.
Map of Marietta Wild Burro Range You're Way Out There, So Plan Ahead and Be Safe! The closest town to Marietta is Mina, Nevada approximately 30 miles to the north on Highway 95. Unlike the wild burro, you will not have time to adapt to the ever-changing environment. Take food, plenty of drinking water (two gallons per person per day), warm clothes and a hat. Check your vehicle's spare tire and fuel gauge before venturing down the dirt roads.
Lastly, this is an old mining district. Open mine shafts, shaky buildings, unstable rock ruins and rattlesnakes are common. LOOK before you STEP, TOUCH or CAMP.

There was no specific threat cited against embassy in Sanaa.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. State Department says it has closed its embassy to the public in Yemen due to recent attacks against Western interests.
There was no specific threat cited Wednesday against the U.S. Embassy in the capital of Sanaa, and a U.S. official said no American personnel have been evacuated.
The closure was expected to be temporary and only affects services to the public, including visa processing.
The U.S. official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the situation by name.

Dave at Online Dating Insider did an interview with our very own Alex a couple of weeks ago. He has a post out today about the interview, his experience with Zoosk and why he thinks the new paradigm of social dating is here to stay. I love the fact that he actually went down to an extreme level of detail on viral growth and it's inner workings using our internal lingo. Now, X-multiplier is officially introduced to the public world.
His post is fairly balanced at times criticizing us for a few features that we are missing at the moment. But Zooskers don't be worried, they on their way and coming very quickly. Zoosk is just getting started to shake the online dating world.
The Zoosk logo is available for use in any media outlet or publication. However, any modification of the logo or combination with other marks is not permitted. If you have questions about Zoosk's logo and usage requirements, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

|In response to Re: Corian vs. Americast sinks
: : We are putting a corian counter top in our new kitchen. The problem is that we do not know if we should get the corian sink or the americast sink. We have heard that the corian will stain pretty easily and is almost twice the cost of the americast. Have you heard anything bad about the americast sinks? Durability and stain resistance?
:We put an Americast sink in last fall and it scratches very easily. Our old cast iron sink was in constant use for 27 years without a scratch. I don't think the "composite" sink has been perfected to the same level of durability as the cast iron sink.

And there's most definitely a medical jutsu behind the transplant of eyes.
And there's most definitely a medical jutsu behind the transplant of eyes.
It also has been stated that it is believed that all the eye kekke genkai have descended from the rinnegan. So it wouldn't be a bad theory to say that there is a "evolutionary" tree of all the kekke genkai.
Simple Sasuke wants Itachi dead and Itachi wants Sasuke's eyes
there not going to brake down and say
"lets share 50-50 share and share alike one eye for you one for me"
Conspiracy theory
Finally Ekess has Come back to Mangashare
Finally Ekess has Come back to Boredom Zone
Finally Ekess has Come back to The Corupted wish game
Finally Ekess has Come back Home.!
Spoiler!MangashareSpoiler!ForumsSpoiler!General DiscussionSpoiler!Boredom ZoneSpoiler!The Corupted wish gameSpoiler!OrSpoiler!
MangaShareSpoiler!General Manga / AnimeSpoiler!NarutoSpoiler!WhereSpoiler!AreSpoiler!YouSpoiler!???
why not pull a kakashi and just take one eye from each. there brothers SHARE!!! like kakashi just have one mangekyou but perma!!!
yea depth perception doesn't suck
plus Itachi wouldn't be strong enough to beat Madara then.
I am McLOVIN
in all technicalities the sage of six paths had the rinegan. he started ninjutsu hence he started ninjas in narutoverse right ? so he started byakugand and sharingan
@ShawshankThere is no plothole. They don't swap eyes so they never actually lose their own eyes. It's a fusion, not a transplant. Somebody had a good picture of this somewhere, I'll look for it.
Where did you read that it was a fusion?
Synonyms for fusion are: blend, blending, combination, amalgamation, joining, union, marrying, bonding, merging, melding, mingling, integration, intermixture, intermingling, synthesis; coalescence
Besides, medical ninjutsu != brutally ripping your bro's eyes out and you and others are all here assuming once again that it's some sorta of magical fusion. It wasn't stated that it was a fusion of eyes.
Itachi says that "by changing hosts the younger brother's eyes found inextinguishable light".
Where do any of you see fusion or any of its synonyms? A "change of host"? I read that as switching. A swap. Nothing about "a fusion of eyes" in that, guys & girls.
Itachi goes on to call it an "exchange" -- again, not fusion.
If anyone can look at the raw and see if that's a literal translation or no to be sure, I'd appreciate it.
Well its speculation because the new MS eyes he dawned had similarities to both Madaras and his brothers as if they fused together
I am McLOVIN
If Madara ripped out his brother's eyes and then ripped out his own to put his brother's in, I wouldn't care that he had lost to the 1st hokage. Madara would be the most epic ninja ever.

What is the "Coupon Printer"?
Before printing coupons from the Trac 'N' Save website, you'll need to install the Coupon Printer. This safe software enables your computer to group and print coupons that will be accepted at stores. Please note that we will never do anything to violate your privacy or send you anything without your permission. You don't even have to provide us your name or email address to install the Coupon Printer.
Why do I need to install the Printer Software to print coupons?
Coupons are often quite valuable, which is why many offers providers (i.e. manufacturers, retailers, etc.) require secure controls for distribution and printing of their coupons. The Printer Software is a small browser plug-in software that provides security controls for printing coupons. Additionally, it enables high-quality coupon prints that will scan easily at checkout. Installation is a quick and easy process. Simply follow the step-by-step instructions. Our plug-in has been created to run seamlessly with widely used Windows and Mac OS X operating systems and other popular browsers.
What is the "Browser Plug-in Software"?
This is a software program that extends the capabilities of your browser and other applications. For example, a plug-in gives you the ability to play audio files, watch movies, and view documents in a certain format or print coupons from your personal computer. Most plug-ins are developed by third party companies, like Apple's QuickTime and Adobe's Acrobat PDF Reader.
Is the Printer Software safe to install on my computer?
Yes. The Printer Software plug-in has been created to run seamlessly with Windows and Mac computers using a host of different operating systems and browsers. During the download process, you may have noticed that your browser states that it may be "dangerous" to accept the download. This warning is simply identifying that this plug-in was not developed by the original browser software developer (For ex. Microsoft). When downloading or running programs from the Internet, you want to know that the program comes from a known, reliable source. That is why, after you click the "accept" or "yes" button to download a program, your browser uses authentication to verify the identity of the program. This feature eliminates the chance of someone misrepresenting a program that is intended to be malicious or intentionally harmful.
I'm having issues installing the Printer Software. What can I do?
If you are having issues downloading or installing the Printer Software or printing coupons, it may be for one of the following reasons:
- Windows 2000 when used with any of the following browsers: Internet Explorer 6.x , 7.x or 8.x; and Firefox 2.x, or 3.x.
- Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 when used with any of the following browsers: Internet Explorer 6.x, 7.x or 8.x (64bit); Firefox 2.x or 3.x; Chrome 3.x, or Safari 4.x.
- Mac OS X, and above, when used with any of the following browsers: Safari 2.x, 3.x or 4.x; and Firefox 2.x, or 3.x.
- You are on a network computer that does not allow plug-in downloads.
- You are running Windows 2000, XP Professional or Vista, and you do not have administrative rights to your computer, or you are not logged in as the administrator of your computer. If you have administrative rights, please login as the administrator and follow the instructions for your particular browser and operating system.
- If you are running a Firewall application on your computer, such as Norton Personal Firewall or McAfee Personal Firewall, the installation may not work. Please check the user guide to learn how to temporarily allow browser plug-in installations and provide permission for the Printer Software to communicate over the Internet.
- You have a pop-up blocker on either your browser, or separate security software that prevents you from seeing the browser pop-up to install the Printer Software plug-in.
I am having difficulty installing the Printer Software on a public-use computer. What can I do?
If you are trying to access and download the Printer Software from a public computer (i.e. a computer in the county library), the security settings may be configured in such a way that it does not allow you administrative rights. Check with the network administrator to see if the settings can be changed.
I am having difficulty printing coupons from my work computer. What can I do?
It is common in many work places to not have administrative rights to your computer. Check with your Network Administrator to see if you can be granted access to download the application.
What if I got an unexpected error message stating that downloading did not complete?
Please try downloading the Printer Software again. Simply go to the website where you were trying to print coupons, again.
Why is my coupon not printing, or why am I getting error messages?
Many of the typical coupon printing problems can be simply solved by first making sure you have:
Can I get the coupons without downloading your Printer Software plug-in?
No. Many offers providers consider coupons to be of great value, which is why it is required that you download the Printer Software to access and print the offers.
How do I know if my computer's operating system and browser are supported?
At this time, the Printer Software supports the following operating systems and browsers:
How can I tell if I have issues with my printer or printer settings?
If the Printer Software plug-in was installed properly; your operating system and browser are supported, and you have not exceeded the coupon printing limit, but you were still unable to print your coupon, check the following:
What if I don't have a printer?
A printer is required to print our Internet print-controlled coupons.
Why am I getting server error messages?
Most server error messages encountered are the result of a temporary situation. However, if the message you encountered persists, contact us and please have ready the details about your browser and operating system; the specific offer you were trying to access, the site you were accessing the offer from, any specific error messages you encountered, and whether or not you had already printed the offer.
I have reviewed all these FAQs but still have issues with printing coupons. Can I get some help?
Yes, you may contact us at 1-800-867-7183 or visit our website. Please have ready the details about your browser and operating system, the specific offer you were trying to access, the site you were accessing the offer from, any specific error messages you encountered, and whether or not you had already printed the offer.

For years, Fulcrum has been challenging the notion of the old idiom 'train heavy, race light.' Fulcrum saw this less as a truism and more as an excuse for race-day wheel makers to create sub par, underwhelming wheels. So, to counter this old ideology, Fulcrum throws every engineering trick in its playbook at wheels like the Racing Quattro.
Starting at the rim, Fulcrum constructed the Racing Quattro from aluminum -- no surprise there. And while this alloy composition is both strong and lightweight, the wheel's high strength-to-weight ratio required a multi-step design approach. Let's start at the rim and work our way to the hub. In any discipline of cycling, wheel tension is paramount. Your wheels drudge by, bump after bump, and over time, this impact translates to the interface between the spoke nipples and the rims -- the eyelets. So, to counter this stress, Fulcrum employed its MoMag spoke mounting system in order to retain proper tension -- this accounts for the repeatedly raised surfaces at the undercarriage of the rim. Basically, MoMag eliminates the need for holes at the upper bridge of the rim. Instead, MoMag guides the nipples inside the rim, to the point of connection, magnetically. This simple system creates a greater uniformity, while also reducing stress points. Ultimately, the benefits speak for themselves. Compared to a standard spoke mounting, MoMag creates higher rigidity, a longer lifespan, greater spoke tension, and through the elimination of rim strips, less rotational weight. And as for the spokes, the Racing Quattro features double-butted steel spokes, while still retaining an aerodynamic profile.
Making our way down to the hubs, we find what Fulcrum calls its Dynamic Balance technology. The principle at work is relatively simple -- a balanced wheel is both a faster and stronger wheel. So, at the rear wheel, the Racing Quattro compensates for the freehub body with two oversized spokes on the non-driveside. The weight gain is beyond negligible, but the rotational dynamics are drastically improved. Further along these lines, the rear wheel has received Fulcrum's 2:1 technology. This system is the reason you'll notice the hub's having no flange on the non-drive and a flange on the driveside. Fulcrum found that the rotational force of pedaling resulted in flex of driveside spokes. This slackens rim tension and creates a net loss in energy. So, the solution takes form in a doubling of driveside spokes. Essentially, there are now two spokes performing the duties of one, and accordingly, energy dissipation has been nearly eliminated.
Going even further into the hub, Fulcrum made the Racing Quattro hubs with a svelte design. This feature plays directly into the requirements of road racing. Not only is the hub now more stable, but the oversized rear drive-side flange and body translate to heightened levels of rigidity and reactivity -- vital characteristics for jump-off-the-front racing and climbing. At both hubs, you'll also find Fulcrum's Anti-Rotation System and five axis hub at work. This sunken spoke design maintains a uniform tension at every point of the spoke, further reducing stress to the rim and spokes.
The Fulcrum Racing Quattro is available in the color Black and with either a Shimano/SRAM or Campagnolo compatible freehub. Please note that the Shimano freehub is compatible with Shimano 11-speed shift systems, and that quick-release skewers are included with every wheelset.

About Brian
Brian Harry is a Microsoft Technical Fellow working as the Product Unit Manager for Team Foundation Server - a server-based product designed to dramatically improve the productivity, predictability, and agility of software development teams by ensuring that all team members have easy access to the information they need to make the right decisions at the right time.
Harry worked at start up DaVinci Systems doing electronic mail software from 1988 to 1992. In 1992 Harry left DaVinci Systems with two others to create One Tree Software. One Tree, was a classic garage-type startup company that developed and sold SourceSafe (the same product that is now Microsoft Visual SourceSafe). One Tree Software was acquired by Microsoft in 1994.
After joining Microsoft, Harry worked in what was then the Tools and Databases division. For a couple of years he worked on SourceSafe and then on Microsoft Repository. In 1996 he and others began working on the problem of improving the approachability of API for the developer masses. Although this started as investigation of ways to extend COM it eventually grew into what we now know as the .NET Framework. Harry served as the Development manager for the Common Language Runtime and then as the PUM through the rest of the V1 and most of the V1.1 product cycle.
For personal reasons, Harry chose to move back to North Carolina at the end of 2002. Fortunately there was a great opportunity to open a development center there and continue to build tools to serve developers for Microsoft. Harry has built a team of about 50-60 people in NC who work on the Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Team System for Testers products. In late 2005 and early 2006 V1 of both of these products shipped to substantial customer excitement.
Harry has had a passion for software development tools that dates to his college years in the mid-1980s at North Carolina State University where he did research on compilers, linkers, assemblers, and processor simulation systems.
Outside of work, Harry's primary passions are family and wood working. Harry has a substantial wood working shop and builds all sorts of wooden objects with a strong emphasis on the lathe. Harry is also very active with his children, serving as a leader in his sons' Cub Scout troop
