Olympic team pursuit champions Great Britain qualify disappointing eighth at Track Worlds in Colombia
Olympic champions Great Britain missed out on a medal ride in the men's team pursuit on day one of the Track Cycling World Championships after a woeful performance.
Ed Clancy, twice an Olympic champion in the four-man, four-kilometre event, combined with Sam Harrison, Owain Doull and Jon Dibben to place eighth in the event, clocking four minutes 04.419 seconds.
Britain, silver medallists in 2013, were the 12th of 13 teams to start and were expected to advance comfortably to the medal rides, yet failed dismally to do so.
Disappointment: The Ed Clancy-led Great Britain team at the UCI track Cycling World Championships
Shocker: Clancy's team were eighth after qualifying in the event despite expectations of a medal ride
Defending champions Australia were
second fastest in 4mins 01.516secs and were due to meet fastest
qualifiers Denmark (4:00.176) in the final on Wednesday evening.
The bronze medal will be contested by Russia (4:01.615) and New Zealand (4:02.056).
The World Championships are taking place in Colombia at a track exposed to the elements, with a roof but without walls.
preparations were disrupted by wind blowing in rain on Monday, but
conditions were dry for the opening event of the competition.
London 2012 gold medallist Steven Burke
was not selected for the qualifying ride and the British quartet,
chasing a second world title since 2008, failed to fire, consistently
lapping slower than the opposition.
had set a track record in the previous heat and Britain were a lowly
sixth through the halfway mark, with plenty of work to do.
Back to back: Defending champions Australia qualified second to face Denmark in the gold medal race
Exposed: The venue in Colombia has a roof but no walls
However, the British squad's travails continued and Harrison dropped out with 1km to go, leaving his trio of team-mates to forge on alone without reward.
Britain will hope for a more fruitful evening session on the opening day.
The session features Phil Hindes, Jason Kenny and Kian Emadi in the men's team sprint, Jess Varnish and Becky James in the corresponding women's event and Dani King in the women's 10km scratch race.
The team pursuit squad was depleted and Clancy believes the lack of competition for places contributed to the failure.
Andy Tennant, the 2012 world champion, was not selected following illness and Burke was also hampered by illness and, despite travelling to Cali, did not recover in time to be selected.
'We didn't announce it on Twitter, but behind the scenes we've had some problems,' Clancy said. 'We knew a week ago our back was against the wall. (But) despite the fact we didn't have a couple of our more established riders in the line-up, we were still hoping to get a ride in the final.
'That's sport. Some days you go better than you think, other days you don't go quite so well.
Down: The team was hit by injury and illness before Clancy, Sam Harrison, Owain Doull and Jon Dibben lined up
'We have tried a bit of a different approach for these track worlds. Perhaps it just hasn't paid off.'
Harrison was a late replacement for Burke and struggled.
'It's like a stack of cards - if one part falls down it all comes tumbling down pretty quickly,' Clancy added.
The quartet now focus on individual events, with Clancy in the omnium on Friday and Saturday.
He added: 'There wasn't one of us that was really on fire. We've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. We can still get some medals yet.'
Men's endurance coach Paul Manning is absent this week as his wife is expecting their second child and women's endurance coach Chris Newton assumed control.
'You can't magic form,' Newton said. 'We had to deal with what we had. We knew everything would have to slot into place on the day and it didn't.
'As a team we're disappointed, but we'll regroup, refocus and move on. We'll bounce back.
'You take a knock and come back fighting. That's what we'll do.'

That info box is ridiculously inaccurate.We don't need or know Johnny's parents.Needless.The Hexer isn't driven by him.He highjacks alotta cars not just that one.And it's a motorcycle.Unneeded.And since when do we use info boxes in character descriptions. Useless. HuangLee 00:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
And there's no proof his name is Jonathon. HuangLee 00:10, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Can't we just call him Johnny? do we REALLY need Jonathon in here?
I agree. I don't know who put that, but they either must be new to the site or hasn't read any other character pages. --SABOTAGE99 00:18, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Yeah a lot or info on this site is messed up considering a lot of people who haven't even really played GTA4 keep trying to post what's "correct" even though it wasn't stated nor answered. Someone actually put Johnny was working for the Ancelotti and ran away with the diamonds but he actually took the money. - FearTheLivingDFG
Yeah, lets remove the info box, and if anyone puts it back on, just take it off again. They have to get tired of it sooner or later.-SABOTAGE99
This is very unneeded,indeed.There's absolutely no proof whatsoever that his name is Johnathon.And the cars thing makes me even madder.The Hexer isn't a car and since he's a high jacker,he drives a wide arrangement of cars. HuangLee 23:35, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Wait I say we edit it up, and make it actually accurate, because now those info boxes are all across the site. Agreed?- SABOTAGE99
- I have re-added the infobox, which gives useful information to users unfamiliar with the character. The infobox is especially important at this time, as Klebitz will be the protagonist of the first episode of downloadable content. The infoboxes have been added/will be added to major characters in the series to show basic information quickly. Also, if information in the infobox is incorrect, just make an edit to change the information, not just remove it. Thank you. A-Dust 01:03, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
There's no proof his name is Johnathon and there's no proof he only drives a Hexer which ISN'T A CAR!!Because,he is a highjacker.Basically,it's all unneeded.We barely no about any characters Parents so that's retarded to keep.Who ever added that must've been a new user who hasn't seen a character page before.If we are going to write like that,ridiculous info will be posted more often and we'll see idiotic false information.Example:Favourite Activity: Taking a crap.Why would we need stuff like that,and admins like you,should know that.Are we going to put information like that on pages like Niko Bellic.Hmm? Cars: Dukes, Roman's Taxi, Cabbie, Taxi, Washington, NRG 900, Feltzer, Turismo, Comet, PMP 600, Ambulance, Bus, Annihilator, Cognoscenti, PCJ-600, Patriot, Oracle, Infernus, and Super GT. HuangLee 01:27, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- If you had taken the time to look at the infobox, I changed the full name to Johnny Klebitz and the vehicles/cars section to Various. Also, the infobox requires information to be included every two things (so you can not have two lines without any information), otherwise gaps appear in the infobox. As for the ridiculous info bit, nothing more is needed for the infobox, as this can be simply explained. The infobox should stay, and that will require information about his parents and children (even if they are just Unknown and N/A), simply to make the infobox look decent - i.e. without gaps. A-Dust 01:33, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Yes,but we haven't the time to put all such information into all character pages. HuangLee 01:36, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure Johnny's name is Jonathan. I highly doubt he was born Johnny Klebitz. Billy calls Johnny Jonathan during "Clean and Serene" and he has known Johnny since childhood, so I doubt he pulled that name out of his arse. Also, I'm pretty sure Michael, Johnny's brother, calls him Jonathan in one of his e-mails. I'm not positive, but I'll check. If I find that Michael does call him Jonathan, then I'm adding it to the article. Sláinte mhaith! - Hobbes (Talk) 04:40, 29 April 2011 (BST)
Johnny Klebitz as Pedestrian.
This was clearly done by someone who aborted the mission at the museum, please don't spread your youtube myths around here.-User:NG3
I think I found Johnny as a pedestrian on the streets of Algonquin in Grand Theft Auto IV,I killed him to get a closer and it looked an awfull lot like him,he even wore The Lost Brotherhood jacket!,and then I found this video of Klebitz on Youtube.-User:BloodyGTA
Me too i think i also saw johnny as a pedestrian in gta IV. He actually sounded like himself. I was going to make him talk to me but he ran away and also killed me while running.
More proof of Luis' involvement with the Impossible Trinity!!!
"jonesoda" a member of a {neoseeker.com forum) discussing the 'Impossible Trinity' has added another clue, and for me confirmed the notion, that Luis will indeed be the third and final (main) character of the GTAIV installment in the second DLC.
He states: "I have even more evidence Luis Lopez could be the next character because today I was on the GTA IV police files and the only people out of like 20 with a charge of grand theft auto where Johnny, Niko, and Luis. So i'm not sure but to me that seems like even more evidence"
To me, it IS the final piece of evidence. Also interesting to mention, "DRzCalderon" of (gtagaming.com forums) made some mission predictions for Luis:
* Well, the first time we see luis Lopez is when he's on the floor during the three Leaf Clover mission. the way this mission is going to go in luis's perspective is when niko and the MCcreary brothers are busy shouting at the clerks to open the door and when niko is robbing the safe, there is extra conversation going on when luis is on the ground. And when niko and the others flee the bank, I assume he attends to take some money leftover in the safe because of niko saying I didn't get all of it causing this to be a possible chase scene for luis. And the reason why he was at the bank in the first place was because he may have also had an intention to rob the bank as well.
* Now During the Museum Piece mission, we see luis shoot at a couple of guys during the deal, killing them instantly. But doesn't kill johnny ( obviously ) and that other guy with the beard and hat. so during this mission in luis's perspective, the player would have to go after that guy with the hat due to him picking up the diamonds right before fleeing the scene and johnny fleeing with the suitcase. And in gameplay, you would have to chase the guy with the hat and confront him to attain the diamonds. Not to mention the fact that Luis ends up with the diamonds in the game when making the exchange for Ancelotti's daughter.
* Last but not least, During his last appereance in the game, when your doing Diamonds is a Women's Best Friend mission, right after niko is attacked by Bulgarin's henchmen, Luis with Ancelotti and his daughter flee the scene instantly as well as Bulgarin. So this brings the assumption of there being a chase scene during this mission. so the player would most likely be fleeing in a car chase from bulgarin. It could be that in gameplay the protogonist will be driving to flee from him or would be shooting at him during the car chase.
Do they ever have like a, caucasian, american/Canadian born character as the protagonist? What I mean is American or Canadian born.--Canadian Reject 23:45, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
I believe Johnny Klebitz was born in America, please someone correct me if i'm wrong (Stebner603 01:28, 9 June 2009 (UTC))
to me johnny shouldn't have stole the money from the deal because if he did do it and give half the money to ray jim would be here and he wouldn't be on the run from him.
iam pretty sure that claude and tommy and toni are caucasian american
I think the Johnny Klebitz picture on the Johnny Klebitz picture needs to be changed. Mainly because it is a small picture. Suggestions?. GSF4L 23:15, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Did Johnny served in U.S.Army? There are many dialogues about the army in game, but I'm not sure, that Johnny was in army. Anyone know it for certain? Orto Dogge 23:47, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
Its Jim that served in the army, not Johnny. Also Johnny's brother is in the military.
I know, man, those facts don't sxplode each other. Orto Dogge 23:44, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
Change in Appearance
Man, I played the original GTA IV and Johnny looks so different. I never noticed it. We need to add a picture of his before appearance to show how drastic he's changed.--FawkesGamer360 19:36, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
Johnny's limp
When does anyone say anything about Johnny having been in a motorcycle accident before the game? Also, I'm pretty sure his nose isn't broken,its just crooked.
Johnny smokes marijuana?
in the trivia section it says Johnny and Carl Johnson are the only protagonists confirmed to smoke marijuana. Where in the game does Johnny smoke anything? Or CJ?--Karzi556 (talk|edits) 14:59, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
- In the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas mission Mike Toreno, Toreno tell's T-Bone Mendez to get CJs wallet for his information. While looking through his wallet CJ claims there was a dub in there and that it better be there when he gets his wallet back. A dub is another word for a joint, spliff, doobie etc. In The Lost and Damned while at the strip club with friends Johnny will ask the stripper if she wants to leave with him to drink some beer and smoke some weed, implying he smokes marijuana, Hope this helps ya out.

Johnny's girl in GTA V
I thought that was Ashley? I mean, Johnny's apparently become a junkie, if Trevor's dialogue is to be believed. Just because he turned her away at the end of TLAD, doesn't mean he didn't relapse and take her back. Oh, how the mighty have fallen... Ghost Leader (talk|edits) 06:06, 18 September 2013 (BST)
Maybe it's better to say that they never got back together, since there is no evidence to prove otherwise. Besides, Johnny said in GTA V "I still love her", which implies that they weren't together. Silver Infernus talk 19:42, 4 October 2013 (BST)
It was said in dialogue that the girl that Trevor was banging was Ashley. Because after he kills Johnny, Trevor, Wade and Ron drives away to meet up with Terry and Clay. Wade suggests on the way there that they should kill the girl as well, mentioning that her name was Ashley, to which Trevor disagrees.

I'd like to take a minute and introduce you to my brain. It never shuts off and so when I am doing something completely normal like throwing away an empty cracker box, just as I am about to toss it into the trash I look at it once more:
and see this:
And the box is rescued and stashed away in my craft room with all the other containers that have given me a crafting vision. It is fantastic and exhausting because I have the hardest time throwing things away-seeing what they could become. I have way more supplies and ideas than I will ever have time to turn into creations but since I continue to pray for ideas to come I can't just brush them off and toss them. Someday every one of the boxes will become something awesome. You all are lucky enough to get to see this cracker boxes fate: and adorable Easter Bunny Door Hanger
Supplies for this project:
1 cracker box
scrapbook paper
spray glue
white cardstock and milk carton template (see bottom for link)
adhesive backed fun foam (white and pink)
pink chalk
black marker
1. To begin measure up from the bottom of the box 2 inches and mark all the way across the box (it is hard to see on this picture but I do have a line across the width of the box).
2. Now turn the box to it's side and mark a 2 inch mark and then a 3 inch mark and draw a line attaching the 2 dots.
3. Cut along all the marked lines, and then cut off the remaining box front leaving you with a nifty little holder. Mark and cut out an oval shape to make it hangable (is that a word...it is now). (NOTE: this fits over some door knobs very easily and some not so easily so keep that in mind-you may want to adjust the shape of the hanger hole-but keep it an oval-it allows the hanger to slide to one side slightly to fit on a door knob better). After you have this done you can cut cardstock or scrapbook paper to fit over all parts of the holder.
5. Using the template provided, or create your own and trace the bunny ears onto the white fun foam.
10. Now slip these little bunnies into their comfy box.
"Hoppy" Easter everyone. Now go and share these with some "bunny" you love.

To paraphrase Rocky and Bullwinkle, whatsa(dark)matta'u. I need help in getting a handle on this dark matter/energy thing. Just a very interested lay person here, so be gentle. It's my first time.
Views: 576
Simply speaking, space that falls into a black hole reaches superluminal velocities past the even horizon, right? Thus rendering light unable to escape.
I thought it was because of gravity. That the gravity was so strong that nothing could escape once it was past the event horizon. Right or wrong? And what of naked singularities? Read an article in Scientific American a few months ago about them. They don't have an event horizon according to the article. Of course, they exist for the briefest of moments before they evaporate.
Tony - yes, the gravity actually causes space itself to fall into the singularity, and since nothing can travel through space faster than c, but space itself travels at >c, no photons can escape - the sum of the velocity vectors always end up pointing into the singularity.
Thanks Mick. Which brings me to Hawking radiation. Funny how we got away from dark matter/energy. But that's how these things go. Trying to bring it back around. Virtual pair, before anihilation, one falls into black hole, the other doesn't. Since it has enough velocity to escape, it becomes real, and the higher energy state makes sure it is positive, so net sum addition of matter in the universe? Would this possibly be dark matter? Sorry if this seems a naive question, just trying to put some stuff together that I have read. And what about the higher energy state? Would that dissipate? Since this is now a real particle, and information must be equal, what is this energy? Is this particle possibly a boson? I really know this is kinda weird questions, but trying to learn here. Thanks,man.
Tony - I think (and I'm totally a layman, btw) that as the virtual particle pair is split, the positive particle escapes into the universe (IIRC referred to as a "hairy black hole"), but the negative (I believe antimatter) particle robs the black hole of an infinitesimally small amount of energy (=mass), if I understand the process correctly, thus keeping the energy balance. This is why black holes eventually do "evaporate" and disappear - but it does take a very VERY long time. The time scale for this I think it referred to as cosmological decades. I did hear somewhere that there were speculations that the dark matter is mainly made up of neutrinos (which are leptons/fermions), but I'm not sure if this is still the case.
Thanks. Gives me something to search for on the science sites. Really appreciate all the input. Some of this stuff that I read I think might be ideas, not even hypothesis. Just have to try and read more critically. Again, thank you.
I do hope I haven't lead you down the provberbial primrose path with my laymanness, but this is the way I understand things. And, you hit it right on the head - critical reading, not just accepting what someone else says for gospel (pun intended). :)
Anything I have seen recently about Dark Matter seems to take it as a given that it has been established that it can't be regular matter, but I must have missed when that was established. I always thought that it might be rogue planets or Brown Dwarfs (not by those names of course, they were coined decades later), and when both were recently discovered to exist, I figured that bolstered my idea, but apparently best estimates of their numbers fall far short. Neutrinos were recently proven to have a rest mass so they contribute, but every article still seems to assume Dark Matter is something even less interactive than them.
I'm not up on the most recent discoveries, but I can offer a bit of history on dark matter, if you're interested.
Vera Rubin coined the term when she discovered that stars move at the same speed regardless of their distance from the center of a galaxy, which was counter to what they knew about the movement of celestial objects in a galaxy. When mapping the speeds of stars, the speed measured should "drop off" as you enter the outer rims of a galaxy, but it didn't. She said that in order to explain that, there would have to be a lot more stuff in the galaxy than what we see. Since we can't see it, they called it dark matter. Since then, they've been looking for the "dark matter".
My favorite theory, though it didn't pan out, was the MACHO theory. Massive Compact Halo Objects were suspected to be the dark matter everyone was looking for. My understanding of them is that they are stars that basically fizzled out and didn't possess the right properties to explode or turn into black holes. The most apt description I heard was "star corpses". The MACHOs were detected, but found to have a minimal mass and could not account for the large amount of "stuff we couldn't see".
Last I heard on the neutrino front was that someone had successfully captured one, but was unable to determine whether it had any mass or not. I just did a quick search and the most recent article I could find on the subject says that's still the case. It seems that it's become the theory that they probably do have mass, but it's negligible, which means it's probably not what they're looking for. Wonder what's next on their list.
Thanks. I can tell it fascinates you, as well. One question I have always pondered is it takes mass to measure anything, right? So if you can measure it, then that excludes that. But if you can't measure it, then what? I know I sure don't know. So (tongue firmly in cheek) I suggest radishes. Could be the answer, huh (lol)? And thanks for the history. Sometimes the search is more revealing than the answers. Thanks, and be well.
Not only are the stars in the outer areas of galaxies rotating "too fast", but the dark matter also produces gravitational lensing - a feature/effect that indicates that dark matter indeed has mass (since gravity does influence photons, themselves virtually massless).
Okay, Einstiens general theory of relativity. Got that. But are you suggesting galaxies of dark matter? Because all forms of EM radiation are lensed, not just photons, i.e., x-rays, gamma rays etc. Could it be Stromen (sp) spheres, which can be mistaken for the lensing effect. Do the hydrogen lines coincide?

- The Missoula YMCA - It is a large facility, complete with pool, dozens of treadmills and ellipticals, and an extensive group fitness/yoga schedule. Each of the yoga classes I did was very good. Thanks to Colleen, Missy, Carmen, and Youngee!
- The Good Food Store - Locally owned. Awesome bulk food section, produce, and deli.
- Big Sky Brewery - Makers of popular Moose Drool Brown ale. Free tastings in their taproom! For those of us who like their beer dark and substantial, the Slow Elk Oatmeal Stout and, especially, the Cowboy Coffee Porter were very good. I am no beer expert; I just know what I like.
- Kettle House Brewing - Smaller but with no less tasty offerings. We tried all the darker ones, with Slow Ride Stout being my fave. The Bongwater Hemp Porter was good, too, but I couldn't stop imagining that it was really made out of bongwater. Ick.
- Trailhead outdoor gear store - 'Cuz they had skinny ski rentals; I spent a nice morning skiing the groomed Pattee Canyon trails.
- The dogs - Missoulians seem to have a healthy, laid-back attitude toward dogs. Most of the dogs we encountered on the trails were well behaved, happy, and seemingly well socialized. Each trailhead had doggie bags and leashes available to borrow.
- Doublefront Cafe - Fried chicken in the Rockies? Yep. It was darn good. So were the onion rings.
- City of Missoula Parks and Recreation - They put out a wonderful map of parks, open space, and trails. It would be great if more cities did this.
- North Hills Trails - Other than the extensive multi-use paths, the North Hills Trails seem to be the first to melt out. Yippee, we actually got to run a bit on dirt singletrack.
- Black Cat Bakery - Sticky buns to die for.......................!

Leslie, I went there out of curiosity and to check out their books & maps! The Adventure Cycling Association, that is. Long ago I was a member and had visions of doing some hardcore bike touring, including the CDT mtn. bike route, TransAm, etc., etc. Running/foot travel adventures have taken precedence, but one of these days...!!

This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?" So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. -Luke 12:19-21
We need a revival! We need a revival of consecration to death, a revival of happy abandonment to the will of God that will laugh at sacrifice and count it a privilege to bear the cross through the heat and burden of the day. We are too much influenced by the world and too little controlled by the Spirit. We of the deeper life persuasion are not immune to the temptations of ease and we are in grave danger of becoming a generation of pleasure lovers.
Any who disagree with these conclusions are within their rights, and I would be the last to deny them the privilege. But in the name of a thousand struggling churches and disheartended pastors, may I not plead for a little more loyalty to the local church during this season of difficulty?
May God raise up a people who will consult their pleasures less and the great need more. God Tells the Man Who Cares, 159-160.
"Lord, make me today one of those 'who will consult their pleasures less and the great need more.' Amen."

Hundreds of children across Calderdale are today (Wednesday) learning which primary school they will be attending from this autumn, but many families will face disappointment after missing out on their first choice.
For the first time this year, families are finding out at the same time which school they have been allocated on the primary "National Offer Day".
It has been suggested nationally that tens of thousands of four-year-olds could miss out on their first-choice place this year, with predictions that up to one in three will lose out in some areas, particularly in major cities that are facing a shortage of places.
Councils and schools have been facing an increasing squeeze on school places, particularly for primary-age children, partly fuelled by a rising birth rate in recent years and the impact of immigration.

Real name: (optional)
Location (city and state): (optional)
Email: (required)
CAG username: (required)
Steam username: (optional, if you have a Steam account. You can sign up for Steam for free so there's no reason not to)

@eastx (leader emeritus)
If you have friends you want to bring with you to CAG Fleet, send their info along with yours. We're happy to take them in.
You do not need to purchase the game through Steam; the Steam Group just functions as our fleet homepage, messaging system, and voice chat room. Since the game currently supports its own voice chat system, joining the Steam group is optional as well.
About the game
Official Star Trek Online site
Star Trek Online is an MMORPG set in 2409, 22 years after the destruction of the Romulan homeworld (as seen in the latest Star Trek movie) and 30 years after Star Trek Nemesis. Both Spock actors - Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto - lend their voices to this game. It came out on February 2, 2010.
There are now 2 kinds of subscriptions: Silver (FREE) and Gold (Paid Premium). Full details on Gold pricing are available here: http://startrekonline.com/gold.
The differences between the 2 are explained here: http://startrekonline.com/f2p_features.
Special in-Game items:
While the game is F2P, you may still purchase old retail copies of the game for the in-game bonus items. Here are what the various editions offer:
Digital Deluxe Edition Bonuses:
DDE copies are hard to find now that the game is F2P. For old times sake, the Digital Deluxe Edition includes the following extras:
TOS Uniform set, NX Registry Prefix, "KHAAAN!" emote, Klingon Blood Wine emote, and Automated Defense Battery.
Collector's Edition (retail) Bonuses:
You may still be able to find retail physical copies in stores. They include:
Physical items:
Deluxe Packaging - Futuristic 3dX holography set in a high quality brushed aluminum finish.
Deluxe Manual - Hardbound, art book, manual, and disc case in a single, elegant package.
Communicator Badge - High quality cast metal design based on the in-game badge model.
Guest Passes - Credit card-style buddy passes entitling friends for a ten day game trial.
In-game items: Red Matter Capacitor, Next Generation Uniforms, Deep Space Nine Uniforms
Admiral Outfit:
The uniform made famous in the TOS movie The Wrath of Khan can be yours in game for free! Simply go to http://startrekonline.com/enter_key, login, and enter JIH MUSHA SOH - that's the code.
Retailer Exclusive Bonuses: some are available for purchase in the C-Store and some are still missing. Note that the retail game is dirt cheap now at every retailer (if you can find it). So if you want these items, either because you don't want to use the C-Store or because they're not available there, you can pick up the game with the item you want in that particular store and add the code to your account at: http://www.startrekonline.com/activate.
Amazon: Borg "efficient" Engineering Bridge Officer (no longer available with newer prints of the game, you can still get lucky and get it if they happened to ship you an older printing that included it)
GameStop: Constitution-class starship
Atari: Standard CE and DDE bonuses, nothing exclusive
Best Buy: Tribble and Targ pets
Direct2Drive: Multi-spatial Personal Shield
Target: TR-116 Ground Rifle (that crazy transporting bullet sniper rifle from DS9)
Walmart: 500 additional skill points (NOT over cap, it's basically like completing a 500 SP mission)
Notes Regarding Gameplay
With the introduction of F2P, many new game mechanics have been introduced and the economy has changed substantially. Periodically, I will update this post with links where you can read about these new mechanics. If there's a useful note you like, simply edit this post and post it (please take care not to delete others' contributions, even if it overlaps or contradicts it).
Thanks and see you in game!

By Matthew Heimer
Almost all Americans over 65 belong to Medicare – and pay its steadily rising premiums. But doctors aren't required to work with the program, and according to a report by Melinda Beck in The Wall Street Journal today, more physicians are opting out. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the government body that administers the insurance program, told Beck that 9,539 doctors opted out of the system in 2012; while that represents less than 1.5% of the 685,000 doctors who currently participate in Medicare, it's more than twice as many as opted out in 2009. (The Journal's health and science bureau chief, Stefanie Ilgenfritz, discusses the trend in the video below.)
For retirees, the Medicare brain drain is yet another factor driving an unsettling doctor shortage. As Encore has recently discussed, shortages of doctors in general and geriatricians in particular have risen as looming problems over the past decade, leaving some aging and aching boomers to face longer waits, longer drives or both when it's time to see the doctor.
Some doctors say they're leaving because of low payment rates, which have been a major complaint in medical circles for quite a while: Due to the lingering effects of a 1997 law, Medicare's reimbursement rates haven't kept up with inflation. But Beck also writes about doctors who are unhappy with some of the information-sharing they're required to do under the Affordable Care Act and other recent health-care reform laws. "Medicare is now paying incentives to doctors who switch to electronic medical records and who send data on quality measures to the federal government," Beck writes, and "doctors who are part of the Medicare program who don't do so will face penalties starting in 2015." Beck's sources note that those changes are a particular affront to some older, private-practice physicians, who feel they're being compelled to change the way they've worked for decades.
Which older patients are most likely to see an impact? Joe Baker of the Medicare Rights Center, a patient advocacy group, tells Beck that opt-outs are hitting patients hardest in wealthier urban and suburban areas where there's a higher share of people who can afford pay out of pocket. On the other hand, retirees who live somewhere either more senior-dominated or more, um, economically modest may be better off: In those places, he says, "doctors can't pick and choose because Medicare is the biggest game in town, or the only game in town."

Hi-Five needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 114 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
Basketball Warehouse
We run sports leagues, camps, and clinics for children of all ages starting from 2 years old - 13 years. We also have adult sports leagues. We are now opening a brand new basketball court that will house our basketball programs, specialty events, and more. This is an exciting project in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago
Our main target are families throughout the North Shore Suburbs of Chicago. Looking to appeal to children 8 years old - adults. Looking for a logo that is classy yet a bit gritty.
Our basketball court isnt a stadium. It is a top of line hardwood court with a meeting area for people to hangout before and after games. It is housed in an old warehouse that we completely renovated. The logo should be hip and cool and show a bit of class but also have a gritty side since it is in an old warehouse. Colors are red, black, and silver. Words BASKETBALL WAREHOUSE should be in logo. The word 'WAREHOUSE" should pop more. Keep in mind this logo will also be painted in the middle of the basketball court so it should look good on a floor as well. Please also send designs in a pic so i can see it in the middle of the court. Perfect logo will have a brick white warehouse building with basketball warehouse written in graffiti. Just a big rectangle. Key is to not make it look too ghetto though. Graffiti but somewhat classy

When the Emirates plane landed at J.F.K. on Saturday after a 23-hour trip (with 18 of them in flight), my daughter and I were filled with both joy and relief. Her second child and my seventh grandchild was now a citizen with the promise of a good life. Besides, we had fallen in love with him.
At the age of 20 months, our little boy had spent the previous year in an orphanage in Addis Ababa, one of millions of children in Ethiopia who have lost parental care due to extreme poverty, AIDS, or some other combination of misfortune (but one of only thousands who end up in care centers run by foreign adoption agencies).
According to a Central Intelligence Agency Web site, 43 percent of the Ethiopian population is illiterate. Agriculture accounts for 85 percent of the economy despite droughts and much of the soil having been severely denuded and overworked, leaving many of the 82 million people who live in the country without enough to eat.
Teodros was nicknamed Taydee in Ethiopia, and that's what we're calling him. Officially, he is now David Teodros Rattray, after his uncle (and his uncle, and his uncle). His sister, Nettie Tesfanesh Rattray, who was adopted from the same agency three years ago, will be 4 in 10 days.
It was my first time in Africa. Although the effects of famine and disease were obvious out on the streets of the capital, in some instances dreadfully so, my stay in Addis Ababa filled me with respect and admiration for Ethiopians. The staff at the care center, which is run by the Children's Home Society and Family Services organization, based in St. Paul, Minn., were kind and gracious to us, and very loving to the children. Their smiles were endemic.
The children we met were getting acquainted with their adoptive parents in a carefully programmed transition over five days. They smiled, too, showing affection for each other with hugs and kisses. A few older kids broke unbidden into song in the guesthouse dining room at breakfast one morning and when the electricity went out in a thunderstorm one afternoon. It should not have surprised me that children who had grown up with no radios, let alone televisions or video games, would like to sing, but I found it touching nevertheless. One talented boy, about 10, who had been adopted with his younger sister, led call and response songs, with the cooks' voices joining in from the kitchen. I hope he doesn't forget these songs as he grows up in America.
There was talk among the adoptive parents of how their charges would adapt to new surroundings and siblings, of how to make sure they learned of their heritage, and of how to know when it would be appropriate to bring them back to Ethiopia for a visit.
My daughter and I had no fear that Taydee would not take hold of his new life easily. Imagine: Here was a child who had spent most of his hours over the previous year in a single room, full of cribs, but who quickly overcame confusion and fear to smile and laugh out loud constantly, as, for the first time, his new mother toted him into cars and vans, and fed him strange new foods, and marched him into a crowd at the United States Embassy — and then carried him away on a long, long airplane trip.
The future of the adoption of Ethiopian children was thrown into doubt this spring when the Ethiopian government took measures that could radically delay the process for any given child, in effect cutting the number able to be adopted out of the country by as much as 90 percent. It is certainly understandable that Ethiopians would be concerned and upset to see their small compatriots leaving the country. More than 2,500 left for new homes in the States in 2010. It is also certainly very right and good that both Ethiopians and Americans should be extremely vigilant in protecting against corruption and exploitation; there is a very real potential for child-trafficking in a situation like this, where there is such huge wealth and power dividing the "sending" and "receiving" nations, to use the jargon.
But, even so, at least in some cases, adoption is sometimes the best remaining solution — and the solution most desired by surviving birth families. The future of a boy like Taydee would have been very grim indeed if this avenue hadn't been open.
We are thankful we were able to bring him home and very grateful to those who nurtured him till now.

Sprinkled throughout our landscapes, parks and walking paths, my lens found nature at its most hardy and unusual. Creatures of all sizes and colors appreciate the bounty and peace awaiting their visits. This is a small glimpse into that big world.
Since moving from Minnesota, where everything goes dormant for 6 months out of the year, to Texas and then to Mexico Beach , where almost nothing does, change has become a common word in my vocabulary. Straying from my roots geographically, and surviving it, encouraged me to take a chance creatively as well. From the structure and conditions of graphic design and illustration for publishing and print advertising, I embraced the free spirit of fine art. I chose "nature" as a common element for three very distinctive styles of expression. The first, a traditional approach, resulted in cut-paper illustrations of florals and creatures. The second, an electronic approach, yielded hundreds of digital portraits that I call the "PhotoArt...

Program outline
Rags To Riches is a hugely enjoyable CSR activity that encourages you to give back to your community and, at the same time, recycle unwanted items. In the lead up to your conference we help you organise the collection of clothing and any other 'quality' items from the delegates.
Teams take part in a dynamic networking and communications challenge to recreate a giant version of their logo (or bespoke image) using all the donated items. A unique matrix guides teams as they work together to position their donations in pre-determined marked out areas.
Rags To Riches can be completed in one breakout session or split into 'energiser' sessions between natural conference breaks. There is an ideal photo opportunity at the end as everyone celebrates their collective creativity. We then arrange for the delivery of all the goods to your chosen charities.
Learning and development outcomes
Rags To Riches creates a unique, fulfilling and giving experience for your whole team. Rags To Riches encourages participants to think more about recycling unwanted items that would have otherwise been discarded. In an event that mobilises the whole team, teams both donate and create, proving that teamwork really can make a difference both to yourselves and to the world around you.
Corporate Social Responsibility ideas
Rags To Riches was developed specifically with CSR in mind. To see how other activities can be used in a CSR context please visit our CSR page here using the button below and explore the links to the teambuilding activities listed.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Wednesday, April 01, 2009
Norman Kent Offers 'True Praise' for West Coast Illustrators
"The selection of an illustrator depends on the character of the story, on the art editor's appraisal of the artist's past performances and, of course, on the illustrator's availability. Whenever practical, the illustrator is called in to discuss the story based on the art editor's brief digest and his suggestions concerning the action or incident to be illustrated."
"Working long distance is something most art editors like to avoid, but there are notable exceptions. A quartet of illustrators who live and work in California - Stan Galli, Fred Ludekens, Glen Grohe, and Bruce Bomberger - have done illustrations for us for years. Airmail for manuscripts and sketches, air express affording two-day delivery service for final paintings, and occasional long distance phone calls provide the mechanics; fine talent and California climate produce the genius!"
"Bruce Bomberger used flat lighting and a low eye level to dramatize tense action in the story of the unstripping of a giant Resistance leader, during the second World War, a more subtle yet powerful dramatization than a picture of the bloody action which, indeed, was involved in several exciting episodes of this moving story; more powerful because I think one is impelled to read the story to discover why this giant of a man, armed to the teeth, permitted the indignity of being stripped of authority."
"The Galli and Ludekens illustrations reproduced are characteristic of their abilities to think editorially and to compose arresting pictures without extremes of action; It was the 'old pro' Fred Ludekens, who introduced Stan Galli and Bruce Bomberger to the art directors of True about ten years ago and it was for this magazine that Galli and Bomberger began their editorial illustration careers."
"Besides their work inside 'the book' they have painted many covers for True, particularly Ludekens, who usually does a minimum of three each year."
"The standards that these artists have set are stimulated in no small measure by the challenging manuscripts that point up the old saying that fact is often stranger than fiction."
Excerpted from the an article in the September 1954 issue of American Artist magazine.

Ah! Stan Galli! Fred Ludekens. I think that Stan is still alive and living between his places in Marin County and Italy. Those guys could sure drw. Galli's early work is amazing, too.ReplyDelete
I think it's interesting that the art we saw last week with Eric was how the elite and upper crust folks chose to represent themselves - the loose, fluid, line oriented work, quick and confident. This week the more down to earth guys want the art to be tight, accurate and laboured. I'm not really sure what this means but I couldn't help noticing.ReplyDelete

Fred Ludekens may be a good illustrator, but he should take no pride in showing a rifleman shooting a Buffalo. Millions upon millions of Buffalo were slaughtered in the most gory criminal and barbaric way possible, by people with rifles, and this Fred Ludekens must have known, if he did any research at all. To depict a man with a rifle killing a Buffalo, is not at all the same as showing an Indian shooting an arrow or throwing a spear into a Buffalo. In one case it was substance to live, in the other it was all hell to pay. Shame on him for taking on the assignment or depicting it that way.ReplyDelete
Stan Galli is indeed still alive and his son, Tom, has recently been in touch. Stan will be the subject of a week of posts here some time soon.
Good for you - I doubt you're the only one who realized why I chose this topic to follow last week's series - but you're the first to speak up about it. Thanks for putting it so succinctly. :^)
While I share your 21st century compassion for the buffalo and outrage over the thoughtlessness of man's past transgressions against the animal kingdom, I hardly think there's any point in suggesting a 1950's illustrator should have felt ashamed about taking on this assignment, any more so than if he had painted a happy young couple smoking their first Marlboro or driving their new Chevy convertible without seatbelts. I mean it was the 50's, for goodness sake. Let's please keep things in perspective.

Good observation Larry. While looking at this week's posts, it occurred to me that the direction that the 60's illustrations took, when I entered the field, was very similar to the "upper crust" Eric look of the 50's. Loose, spontaneous and free in both line and paint, yet with an emphasis on sophistication and refined taste. That was the direction we were pushed in art school, along with a dash of fine art Expressionism, when appropriate. The big debate, at that time, was whether traditional academic study was necessary in the transition from following the rules of solid illustration, to breaking the rules for a more subjective outcome. Just a prelude to the great social experiment of the mid 60's through the 70's. But, the real motivator was to be able to compete with the camera. Photography couldn't come close to Eric's technique, but photography and literal realistic illustration were considered too close in direction, and unfortunately photography usually won out... at least in advertising. I heard many advertising art directors express that their clients thought "photography implied reality and believability". More than likely, they would choose photography to illustrate their product or service. Ouch!ReplyDelete
I guess it's not so important in today's upside down society, since there doesn't seem to be an "upper crust" anymore. ;-)

The story of the few descendants of a prominent Wayne County family has been received by this paper this week which is a counter report to the story of Mrs. Eliza Ann Clark, of Lick Creek, which was published in our issue of January 22nd. It will be recalled that Mrs. Clark had a total of 469 descendants, 381 of whom were living at the time of her death a few weeks ago. Mrs. Clark probably had more direct descendants than any other person in this county.
In contrast with this long lineage is the history of the Bloss family who have been life long residents of this county, living in the Lavalette neighborhood.
Ezekiel S. Bloss and his wife Martha Ann Morris Bloss were born on lower Twelve Pole in this county a little more than one hundred years ago. They were married on December 13, 1838. To the union were born nine children, five of whom died young. The late E. S. Bloss, one of the descendants, was for many years Circuit Clerk in this county.
The four living members of this family are John L. Bloss of Huntington, age 69, who has one son Harry C. Bloss; E. M. Bloss, of Dickson, this county, age 67, who has one daughter, Mrs. Addie Turner of Dickson; H. M. Bloss, of Huntington, age 63, who has two daughters, Mrs. Pearl Ferguson and Mrs. Jennie Dempsey, both of Huntington; and V. A. Bloss, of Dickson, age 57. There are eight great grandchildren, making in all a total of only sixteen living descendants of this old family, which is said to be the smallest family of the county, considering its age. These sixteen descendants, taken in contrast with the 381 members of the family of Mrs. Clark, indicate what is believed to be the largest and smallest families in the county.
The marriage of Mrs. Mary Ann Spurlock, of Wayne, to B. G. Chapman, who has recently been located at Radnor, on Saturday, January 24th, was the climatical chapter of a romance which began more than forty years ago. Both the bride and groom are 67 years of age. They were each other's first sweetheart while they were still in their teens many years ago. But fate somehow decreed that they drift apart. Other romances were soon underway which later resulted in the marriage of Mrs. Spurlock (then Miss Mary Ann Ferguson) to Burwell Spurlock and following that the marriage of Mr. Chapman to Miss Belle Spurlock, daughter of the late Jesse Spurlock.
But Mrs. Spurlock's husband and Chapman's wife both died some years ago. And so the thread of the love-in-youth was picked up a few months ago when the two became sweethearts again after a lapse for nearly half a century.
The marriage, which was performed at the home of Mrs. Spurlock in Wayne by Rev. J. H. Walker at 9:00 Saturday evening January 24th, was kept a secret until this week. Mr. and Mrs. Chapman will make their home here. Both of them are well known in this county. The bride is the daughter of the late Burwell Ferguson and the groom a son of the late Billie Chapman.
