Juan Vargas: El Loco leads Peru into World Cup action by Aaron› 7 Jun 2013
Next summer's big tournament in Brazil may still be twelve
months away, but for some teams the World Cup is the first thing on their mind,
with a host of vital qualifiers taking place this weekend. One of those teams
is Peru, whose smart white and red-sash Umbro kits are an iconic part of world
football. They take on Ecuador tonight in a game which could have a massive
impact on their chances of qualifying for Brazil next year.
Ahead of the game tonight and another vital game against Colombia next week, we spoke to one of the most important players in the Peru squad about the importance of these games. Juan Vargas, known as El Loco to fellow players and fans, is one of the most experienced players in the Peru squad, and will have an important part to play in these vital fixtures.
Check out the video above or read the text below to hear what El Loco had to say about his career, the support of the Peruvian fans and what he thinks of that nickname….
What is your favourite position to play in?
'I think as a left forward, because when I started playing closer to the opposition area I had more opportunities to score. I think that you try to adapt to what is asked of you by the coach, but personally I would always like to play as a forward because in that way I could always be closer to the opponent's area.'
How has playing in different leagues helped you as a player?
'I play in the Italian league, but before that I played in Argentina, and there they focus on tactics a lot and the positions on the field, so I learned the importance of that and how best to position yourself on the pitch.'
How can playing international football help you as a player?
'I think that ever since I have played for the national team, I have gained a lot of international experience playing against teams from different countries, and at the same time having learnt from older teammates that are no longer playing. I think that for me, the team we have now, alongside the success we have had in the Copa America, is pretty confident that we can reach the World Cup.'
What nickname describes the Peruvian team best?
'I think that because of tradition and cultural legacy we are known as 'Los Incaicos', because of the Inca Empire and all that stuff, and I think that when we play abroad we are known as that. But here in Peru at a national level we are 'La Blanquirroja', and I think both are good for us.'
How does it feel to wear the Peru shirt and represent your country?
'It is something very important, I think that putting on our shirt and being part of our national team is very important for each player because twenty-two players come together, but unfortunately only eleven get to play. The other eleven just have to wait for their chance to play. I think that representing your country abroad is really important too.'
What has been your proudest moment playing for the national team?
'I think that my best time with the national team was what happened in the Copa America in 2011, the fact that we finished third after so many years without success I think was something really important. Now I am looking forward to what is coming up next, which is the World Cup, and we all hope that we will be there.'
How important is the backing of the Peru fans in big matches?
'I think that it is very important because they have wanted to see us in a World Cup tournament for more than twenty-three or twenty-four years, it has been a long time without going to the World Cup, and I think that this generation of players can make it. Let's hope so because there are still some games to be played, and we are hoping to give our best to make it to the World Cup.'
What would it mean to you to qualify for the World Cup?
'Well, because of my age – I am already twenty-nine – I am left with these qualifying games and maybe the next ones, but for many players that play for the national team, there is a real bitter taste left in the mouth when they do not qualify, so I want to take advantage of this time to make it to the World Cup.'
How important is this game to the team?
'It is so important because it is a game that we cannot lose, it is a game that is really important to win at home with our public because we would be closer to the objective we are reaching for.'
What's it like as a player to walk out at the Estadio Nacional?
'Based on the experience of playing away from home, makes me treasure the experience of playing for my people and seeing my people, it is so important for me. As soon as I listen to the national anthem I get goosebumps, just to feel the national support and to see all those people coming to the stadium to cheer you on because they want their team to win.'

Modern Australian women: paintings and prints 1925-1945
13 July - 26 August 2001
The women who changed Australian art forever
In the mid-1920s when Australian art was beginning to atrophy into clichéd conservative landscapes, it was saved by women, who injected vitality and a new approach to style and subject matter.
Artists such as Margaret Preston, Thea Proctor, Grace Crowley, Dorrit Black and Ethel Spowers were the pioneers and promoters of modernism in Australia, exploring new ideas about what art could portray and introducing artistic developments such as Cubism. Their paintings and prints challenged other artists and certainly challenged Australian audiences.
Many of these 'modern' women led adventurous and unconventional lives. They travelled and studied in Europe. Many were financially independent and did not need to conform to the requirements of a (largely male) conventional and conservative art-buying public. Most chose to remain unmarried and childless so as to devote themselves to their art.
Modern Australian Women: paintings and prints 1925-1945 is a major exhibition focussing on Australia's great women artists of the modernist period. It includes important and iconic works by the well-known names of Australian art history - Margaret Preston, Grace Crowley, Grace Cossington Smith - as well as works by artists such as Clarice Beckett and Stella Bowen who have only recently begun to receive the attention they deserve.
Modern Australian Women: paintings and prints 1925-1945 is an Art Gallery of South Australia Travelling Exhibition. This exhibition is supported by Marsh, the Australian Women's Weekly and Visions of Australia.

|In response to Re: interior concrete slab repair
Hi: The problem you have is can be fixed easily with a diamond grinding wheel, this will smooth out the surface and allow the tile to stick. A problen you do have is that concrete needs 30 day(28 to be exact) to fully cure and allow the moister to leave. if you cover up this area before you will be trapping moister and your tile will not bond.

Here are what I'll argue are ETF investors' two biggest mistakes: (1) Trading too much, and (2) being too cute in what you buy.
The first can happen in any investment — individual stocks, ETFs, even mutual funds. An individual investor who trades too much is giving up one of his only advantages versus Wall Street: The ability to wait. You don't report to anxious shareholders who demand returns every quarter. You don't answer to a board of directors.
The second is more particular to the ETF market, where you can buy a fund of just Greek stocks or just Brazilian financials. Sure, it's more diversified than owning a share of Piraeus Bank. But it's less a "fund" as historically understood than a highly targeted bet that, just a few years ago, was out of reach for the individual investor. The old saying is still a good one: Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Jack Otter and I chew over the subject in this week's Barron's Focus on Funds video on the occasion of some unexpected findings about advisers' use of ETFs (click about halfway down on the Barrons.com homepage for the video; we're having technical difficulties reproducing it on the Focus on Funds blog at the moment). Mark Hulbert of MarketWatch found a group of financial advisers who managed to deliver worse client returns using ETFs than mutual funds, despite the fact that ETFs are in many ways more efficient investing vehicles.
We also take a moment to cover the pro's and con's of defined-maturity ETFs and their use in the construction of bond "ladders" in individual portfolios.

A Blog Around the Clock is the host for this week's Grand Rounds. You can read this week's edition here.
The summer is almost over, but we can try to remain in the summery mood just a little bit longer. Perhaps we can go to a medical conference held at a lushious tropical island resort, listen to presentations, chat in the hallways, and then have great fun at the bar in the evenings. And call is Grand Rounds. No coats and ties allowed – this meeting is supposed to be fun!….
Gruntdoc has written a sobering post: Every driver is drunk – bet your life on it
A mentor recently mentioned, in passing, that he stopped riding motorcycles when cell phones came out, as he noticed the average driver distraction level had gone way up. He said 'its like everybody's drunk'. ….
I, like C&D, would like to point out that this doesn't make driving under the influence okay, it doesn't. What it does do is put into perspective the astonishing diminution of skill with divided attention between driving and texting. ……
From tweeter comes some great medical history:
Wow. RT @diabetesdaily: There's an insulin pump from 1977 on my desk! I posted a pic here: http://bit.ly/9gdXln #diabetes
Another one from tweeter. This one from @EvidenceMatters gives the link to an article in the Guardian by Ben Goldacre:
Costly life-[conserving] drugs: You have to draw the line somewhere. @bengoldacre on recent coverage of NICE & Avastin http://j.mp/byVdJQ
The article is well worth reading as it takes journalists and politicians to task:
…….Journalists can exploit these impossible decisions for outrage, and the pleasure of leading a popular campaign, but so can politicians………You're always going to draw the line somewhere, and if you paid £200,000 for six weeks of life there would still be more you could do.
Whoever draws that line, wherever it falls, is always going to be pilloried and despised. When you're writing about such an incredibly easy and emotive target, it might be fair to at least use a representative anecdote for illustration, instead of Barbara Moss.
And for a thorough review of the topic read David Gorsk's (Science-Based Medicine) post: Avastin and metastatic breast cancer: When science-based medicine collides with FDA regulation

KevinMD's guest post by Shawn Vuong asks Does a stereotypical surgical personality exist?
…… The stereotypical surgical personality is said to be "decisive, well organised, practical, hard working, but also cantankerous, dominant, arrogant, hostile, impersonal, egocentric, and a poor communicator."
I think that I am decisive, organized, practical, and hard working. But am I cantankerous, arrogant, hostile, impersonal and egocentric? I hope not. I can admit that my communication probably needs work. I think I'll give my self the benefit of the doubt, and rate my communication and 'average' instead of 'poor'.
So there it is, I am half the surgical personality according to the stereotype (in my eyes — maybe everyone else thinks I am hostile and egocentric and thus fit the stereotype perfectly). ……..
I don't think I have the stereotypical surgeon personality, but maybe I'm delusional. I am decisive, organized, practical, and hard working. I can be arrogant, but mostly not. I am usually pleasant and not cantankerous. I try to be kind, not hostile. I try to be a good communicator though I know I have much improvement to be done in that area.
If you like jigsaw puzzles, then perhaps you'll like this one that features a quilt from 1932:
This week's Top 100 Puzzle was created by Jennie C. Trein in 1932. It is called Sunday School Picnic. Jennie was quite a woman. She made her first quilt at 10 and completed over 100 in her lifetime. Quilting wasn't her only passion, she played the piano and cornet, sang in the church choir for over 60 years, taught bible classes to children and made over 300 rugs.

"Our suburb as well as many suburbs were flooded. My basement was flooded. Put on my boots and went to the basement to take care of the water down below. I wish there was more room in the calf area for my pants. My pants are pushed up all the way to my knees, because the calf area of the boots does not provide enough room for my pants. This is the reason I gave this product 4 stars."

Gas And Dust Explosions -- Relief Sizing Formula
A large number of analytical and highly empirical correlations including monograms reflecting changing standards have been or are being proposed separately for gas and dust explosion relief venting. This white paper provides a generalized formula that is applicable to both gas and dust deflagrations including subsonic and sonic pressure relief conditions and is consistent with available experimental data and industry experience. Application of the model is illustrated for dust explosions. Download now.05/06/2011
What Does It Cost To Own Your Dust Collector Filters?
When choosing filters for your cartridge dust collector, a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculation allows you to make the most economical and sustainable choice. TCO is a step-by-step evaluation that explores energy use, maintenance and other factors to compare the real costs of operating a dust collector with different filters. This white paper explains how to perform TCO calculations to save money, time and energy.03/04/2011
OSHA & NFPA Compliant: Keeping Your Plant Safe
In March 2008, OSHA reissued its Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program (NEP) notifying approximately 30,000 companies nationwide that they will be targeted for inspections over the next few years. Mettler Toledo recognizes that many manufacturers are not up-to-date on the latest hazardous area compliance regulations or may not know that their industry is subject to those regulations. Don't wait until your facility receives a surprise visit from OSHA or worse yet, for a catastrophic incident to occur. Take the proactive approach to addressing the "hazardous area advisory level" in your facility.09/20/2010
Asking The Right Questions About Cartridge Dust Collection
Over the past decade, cartridge-style dust collectors have overtaken baghouses as the preferred technology for dust collection in the chemical processing industry. Combining high efficiency filtration with compact size and reduced pressure drop, a high efficiency cartridge dust collector will in most cases be the system of choice.
Choosing the best cartridge collection system for a given application, however, involves research and attention to detail. This article will review four key areas of investigation. By reviewing these topics with a knowledgeable equipment supplier and knowing the right questions to ask, chemical manufacturing professionals will be better equipped to make informed dust collection decisions. Download this whitepaper now.06/21/2010
How Well Do You Know Your Dust?
The collection and testing of dust samples is a long-established practice used by many powder and bulk processors to make informed dust collection decisions. Dust testing protocols have not changed markedly in recent years. The importance of dust testing, however, has changed, and the implications are significant. While knowing your dust has always been good practice, it is rapidly becoming a necessity in today's regulatory climate.
This article will review two separate types of testing: (1) explosibility testing, which is used to determine whether a dust is combustible; and (2) bench testing, which pinpoints numerous physical properties of the dust. Both categories of tests are needed to determine the best dust collection system for your application and whether explosion venting equipment must be part of that system.03/16/2010
Chemical Processing Special Report: Conveyors
No matter what industry youre in, chances are you use some form of conveying. Whether it be pneumatic, flexible screw, aeromechanical or other, different conveyors are required to handle different products. But which conveyor is best suited for your operation? Despite the fact that conveyors have been around for almost a hundred years, this question still baffles many industries. In order to choose the right conveyor for your operations, you need to consider your conveyor's use - production, processing, packaging, and you need to consider your business objectives - improve operations? reduce labor?
In this special report, we look at the different types of conveyors, discuss the use of tubular bag conveyors, and provide 10 tips to prevent a variety of common problems that could occur with pneumatic conveyors.04/20/2009
Particle Image Understanding A Primer
This paper will discuss the use of pattern recognition techniques to identify and differentiate different particle types contained in a heterogeneous solution. This application involves imaging the microscopic particles in real-time as they flow in a solution, segregating each individual particle as a separate image, and then applying pattern recognition techniques to differentiate the individual particle types.A framework for discussing the complexity of a pattern recognition operation in this application will be proposed, along with some specific examples showing how this framework applies.09/03/2008

The PP is used for a wide variety of applications ranging from packaging films to automotive components.07/21/2008
Rectifier design for fuel ethanol plants reduces energy
Plants have traditionally used trays in the distillation columns to produce fuels grade ethanol. Trays of various configurations have been adequate in this service and their technology is well founded. The ever-present desire to reduce the energy needed to produce a gallon of ethanol has opened the doors to structured packings being used in the rectification sections of ethanol distillation columns.04/10/2007

Peter Anthony: The 1986 5 Yuan silver Panda was issued in conjunction with the 25th Anniversary of the World Wildlife Fund. The fund's logo features Chi-Chi a Panda from the London Zoo. The coins were marketed in several different ways. One is the standard box and COA but the other is a little tri-fold portfolio with the WWF's story on it.
The coins can be found in both Proof and BU surfaces. While the proof is the better looking the B.U. coin may be scarcer, especially in high grade. This coin is not part of the regular Panda series as it shows the PRC five star symbol instead of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.

Top Shelf Original Swimbaits
Now available to the public - the Top Shelf Swimbait has been the secret bait of the pros for some time now. Responsible for $200,000 in winnings on the Elite and FLW Tours in less than a year, it was also the winning bait in the 2009 B.A.S.S. Elite Series on Smith Mountain Lake.
100% handmade in the USA, each Top Shelf Swimbait undergoes a strict, confidential 48-hour pouring process. This one-of-a-kind process is responsible for creating the bait's extremely realistic coloring, texture and unique head wobble and side to side swimming action unlike any other swimbait on the market today. This exclusive process also ensures a high level of precision so the bait never rolls over or turns on its side, whether you fish it super fast or extremely slow. Featuring only premium components, each Top Shelf Swimbait also includes Owner Needle Point Hooks. Along the same vein, the line inserts are nickel-plated, avoiding the common problem of lead inserts changing the plastic's color over time. The inserts, as well as, the bait's 3D eyes are also cemented in place by hand, so they won't fall out easily or shake loose. Fish it around cover or in open water, wake it on the surface or fish it deep - the Top Shelf Swimbait is the choice of the pros with its dynamic coloring, tantalizing swimming action and premium construction.
-Includes one Owner Needle Point Treble Hook

Customer Reviews
Comments: USE MEND IT OVER THE TOP AFTER YOU PUT EYE IN,AND IT WILL HOLD GREAT...and hold on to your Rod!!Big Fish Swallow these Swimbaits.
From: Bill: USA 3/29/14
Comments: Do the 5" and 4" have the size eye diameter? And what is the measurement?
From: Tyler: USA 3/26/14
Comments: Good looking baits, yes you have to add a drop of glue to the eyes but that's minor, great colors except my electric bluegill looks nothing like the picture but overall great baits.
From: Louis: Green Bay, WI 3/9/14
Comments: Awesome swimbait, always got one tied on now...4" for numbers 5" for kickers. Super glue eyes on and you're good to go, although I don't think they really matter anyway. I catch em slow rolling and also fishing it faster just below the surface.
From: Pete: DC
Comments: Great customer service. I got the 4" one and caught some decent fish on it the first day. Second day I went out with it the tail ripped off on the first cast. Ended up talking to the owner, Rick, and he hooked me up. Even though it was probably my fault b/c I switched up rods the second day and tried throwing it on a flipping stick with braid, I'm sure I ripped the bait right out of the fishes mouth. Will give another review after fishing with this more, just wanted to say the customer service was great!
From: Pete
Comments: I've Had the same two for over 2 years and caught tons of fish... Love Them !!.... the eye situation is an easy fix with mend it.... Just picked up Two more colors in the 4in and 5 in and they run just like my old ones. Solid product. Thank you top shelf !
From: Tito: Seattle, WA
Comments: This is the best line threw Swimbait ever on the Market. You must see one in your hand,and SWIM IT to believe! Game over is my Favorite Color in Trout Lakes.
From: Jordan: WA
Comments: I have the hologram shad and the so cal special. This is such a good line through swimbait you can reel really slow and get good action and reel it in super fast and it wont roll, buy this instead of an osprey.
From: Drew: Westlake, CA
Comments: Best line-through swimbait on the market. Can slowroll with pleanty of tail action or burn it and it dosent roll over. Get urself a 5in. hologram shad when the bass are on the shad and its game over amigos.
From: Josh: DVL, California
Comments: Fantastic bait. Ya, the eyeballs fall out but who cares, doesn't effect the insane swimming action. The 4" seems to sink a little on the slow side for me, but works great for burning over beds.
From: Joe: Massachusetts, USA
Comments: Purchased a couple of the 5" to try out. I liked the big eyes on these baits, but on the very first cast, they both came off. And before I could catch a bass on it, the perch ate the tail off of it. At $15.00 a pop, I was, understandably, disappointed. They do, however, look good in the water. They can be fished fast or slow, with no roll over, and they have the right amount of wobble as they come through the water. But, rather than tying on the other one, I got serious and picked up my Huddleston.
From: Ron: Oregon, USA
Comments:I don't own any other insert baits, Top Shelf is all that I throw. Best colors and texture out of any other products on the market by far. I have never had any issues with either style of bait, perfect right out of the package. A must buy!
From:Shawn: Western Washington, USA
Comments:The best kept secret around. Guys like KVD and Swindle are fishing these baits and winning tournaments. Absolutely the best line-Through bait out! The durability and quality are second to none. Period! They are called "Top Shelf" because of the components and quality used. An absolute must have tool for catching fish and cashing checks. But most importantly, this bait can be burned or slow rolled and it will ALWAYS swim true.
From:John: So Cal, USA

Rolling agricultural fields, reclaimed strip mines, ravines, rocky streams and wooded bluffs dominate the northern half of the Tunnel Hill State Trail. With 47.8 miles (one-way) of crushed gravel surface, extended inclines and dark tunnels, this trail is a difficult one, but one not to pass up, as long as you're up for the challenge. The southern half of the trail explodes with scenery that includes bottomland woods, ponds, streams and marshes. The trail, which winds through seven towns, even touches upon a handful of ghost towns that faded into the landscape after the trains here stopped running.
Spectacular woodlands and sheer sandstone walls create a challenge for rock climbing and rappelling, as well as hiking. Outdoor lovers will also find horseback riding, a lookout tower, cabins and a swimming pool. Dine at historic Giant City Lodge, known for its homemade fried chicken dinner. Two different locations in Giant City State Park near Carbondale give you climbing options. A trail behind the picnic shelter takes you to a set of steep bluffs known as Shelter #1 near the Makanda entrance; another climbing area of the park includes the steep sandstone cliffs in Devil's Standtable. Plan to bring all of your own equipment since no permanent anchors are allowed. Ropes are permitted in both areas. After rainstorms, the wet sandstone gets really slippery. Use caution when grabbing for ledges as copperhead snakes warm themselves on the rocks during sunny days.
Private log cabins in a wooded setting. Hot tub on covered back deck. Full kitchen including dishes. TV/VCR. Linens and paper products supplied. Fireplace. Loft.

Comments: Finally, a LunarEclipse model similar to the Nike Equalon. I'm sorry if there are any LunarEclipse v1 and v2 fans out there dissapointed with this shoe. For me, the third time is a charm. The fit is fantastic and the flywire system creates a nice snug fit but not too tight. Gone is
the spongy, loose feeling found in the LunarEclipse+ 2.
One suggestion, ShoeFitr seems to recommend a half size down. I'd suggest ordering your normal size like I did. A half size down for me would have been way too small. Nike's website recommends ordering your normal size.
I'm 162lbs and run 20-25 mi per week.
