Thomas Young was an English scientist who lived from 1773 to 1829. He made important contributions to the study of energy, light, mechanics, physiology, language, musical harmony, and Egyptology. He was greatly admired by scientists who followed, including Albert Einstein.
Young essentially understood every aspect of the scientific knowledge of his age. A brilliant man? Of course. An extraordinary genius? Probably. But he also had the advantage of taking up science when the amount of available knowledge could still be contained in a single human brain. Young is remembered by many as "the last person to know everything."
The generations of scientists who followed Young, however brilliant they were, found they needed to focus on increasingly narrow areas of expertise. From Einstein to Hubble to Salk, they made their contributions by concentrating on a single line of inquiry.
Finding Your Focus
What does that have to do with commodity marketing? Just this: Think of the farmer of a couple of generations ago. He tended to have a diverse array of outputs, from grains to row crops to livestock. In addition to planting, tending, harvesting and selling his cash crops, he knew how to dehorn cattle, to tend an orchard, and to fix his tractor in the shade of a tree if it needed doing. In his own way, he was as knowledgeable in his field as Thomas Young was in his. But like the world of science, the world of agriculture has gotten a whole lot more complicated.
To allow yourself to perform at your optimum within your focus area, it's important to strip away unnecessary decisions. That can mean that one of your most critical decisions is choosing which decisions to delegate.
Freeing Your Time
As a manager, you wouldn't let valued, highly specialized employees spend time away from their area of expertise, doing jobs they were less than optimally equipped for. In this case, that valuable, specialized employee is you. So if you're not an expert when it comes to managing commodity opportunities and risks, you may owe it to your business to hire an expert.
The challenge is, how do you select an expert in a field where you yourself are not an expert? You can start with three key questions:
Can these folks show how they've addressed challenges like mine? Will the process be difficult or expensive? And finally, is this a group of people I can actually enjoy working with? The answers can tell you if you've found the right expert to assist you in this critical aspect of managing your operation.
Making Your Choice
The commodity marketing professional you hire should strategically prepare you to act no matter what volatile commodity markets may do, and base counsel on objective assessments rather than personal market opinion. This person should help you maintain discipline in decision-making. And, the person you hire should be an accountable and trustworthy professional.
In the final analysis, farm operations do best when their leaders:
1. Give themselves the time and resources to manage their primary areas of expertise.
2. Have an awareness that they may need to delegate some aspects of the business.
3. Possess a practiced eye for choosing the right experts to support their efforts.

Excitement Builds Ahead Of Saturday's Straw Poll
The ballots are ready, the tickets have been handed out and some 800 journalists are headed to Iowa. The Ames Straw Poll is Saturday.
The first sign the straw poll is almost here: a Fox News satellite truck pulled in to Ames on Monday. Roughly 800 bloggers, reporters and correspondents from all over the world will be in an area outside Hilton Coliseum soon.
Having all the eyes of the world on Ames is something all Iowans should celebrate. One thing we do work on very well, in a bipartisan way, is we make sure Iowa is first in nation. And this is an important event to help keep that status, Iowa Republican Party chairman Matt Strawn said Monday.
Crisp, white shirts with an embroidered Straw Poll 2011 logo for volunteers came in to the GOP headquarters in Des Moines. They sit in boxes near khaki hats and light blue shirts with the same logo.
But most important, perhaps, will be the security of the vote.
It's as secure as any election we will have. We've actually leased the voting equipment from Story County so it's the actual equipment that is used in state and local elections, Strawn said.
Straw poll voters must be Iowa residents with a photo ID to prove it. Anyone 16-and-a-half or older is eligible. A sample ballot showed nine names in all and a chance to write in a candidate.
One thing we've never had before is a write-in opportunity. Given that it's a very fluid field right now and given there are some candidates who may be announcing shortly, we wanted to provide that opportunity for Iowans to vote for someone who isn't on the printed ballot, Strawn said.
The candidates who have already made dozens of visits and spent thousands of dollars are hoping Iowa voters choose them. Texas Rep. Ron Paul paid $31,000 to rent a prime spot of real estate in Ames. The best and most expensive area of land is right outside the Scheman Building and not far from Hilton Coliseum. That's where people will be coming in and out to vote.
It's a tightly guarded secret how many people are expected in Ames. The Republican Party of Iowa wants it that way so candidates can't predict how many votes they will need. But history indicates that thousands will converge on Ames.
Polls close at 4 p.m. Saturday. Strawn said he expects to know the winner shortly after polls close.
We're excited about very quick, accurate results, he said.
Tickets to the straw poll cost $30. Some campaigns are paying for their supporters to go vote.
The straw poll is a major fundraiser for the Iowa Republican Party. Its also a test of campaign strength and popularity in Iowa.

I can attach PAPI to another process created with fork for example. This works fine for me. What I am trying, however, is to create an eventset and attach it to a thread running within the same process.
The first thing I do in my program is to create all threads by entering a short OpenMP section. After that, I init PAPI and also do a PAPI_thread_init with pthread_self as a parameter. After that, I create an event set and add one to it. Now I use PAPI_list_threads to get the threads. I pick one with a different thread id than the master thread. Then I call PAPI_attach with that thread id and this call fails with an invalid argument error. Doing some debugging showed that the syscall in the function check_permissions in the perf_event.c does not succeed.
What am I doing wrong here? Am I using wrong thread identifiers? Do I need more rights (root)? I also found a "perf_event_paranoid" which is 1 on my system? Do I need to change that?

|Al-Qaeda suspect captured in Ibb
|[Yemen Post] The Yemeni authorities captured during the few past days an Al-Qaeda suspect in the central governorate of Ibb , security sources have affirmed.
The sources told the military-run 26 September that the suspect was captured in the framework of a hunt campaign conducted by security forces against al-Qaeda terrorists.
They spelt out that the suspect fought with Al-Qaeda in Zinjibar and Jaar of Abyan
...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an
Islamic Emirateafter seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues...
The Yemeni authorities had tossed in the calaboose
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
a number of Al-Qaeda operatives in different Yemeni areas including the capital Sana'a. Local sources of Abyan said that the Popular Resistance Committees, that backed the offensive of the Yemeni army in Abyan and other southern governorates, are conducting a hunt campaign against Al-Qaeda beturbanned goons in the wake of targeting its leaders.
In response to attacks carried out by Al-Qaeda against leaders and fighters of the Popular Resistance Committees, the fighters pledged to continue fighting Al-Qaeda beturbanned goons until eliminating them completely.Al-Qaeda restored to use other tactics as it assassinated a number of Yemeni military commanders and officers, and carried out suicide kabooms against military and security compounds in the capital Sana'a and other cities.After the Yemeni government announced its victory in early June, al-Qaeda carried out a suicide kaboom various governorates and killed the commander of Yemen's southern military region, Salem Qatan.
The Yemeni authorities had stated that they would continue the battle against Al-Qaeda beturbanned goons and that the government will deal with them as citizens in case they were persuaded to abandon violence.

I must admit I loved the Soprano's. I grew up in the region where they filmed. Some scenes include locations I recognize. Moreover I have a strong suspicion kids with whom I grew up could easily have become gangsters. In fact upon watching the very first show my stomach tightened and I had an uneasy feeling as if kids with whom I grew up were pointing a gun to my head; the simple "friendly gesture" of one of the gang members but utterly frightening to all of the rest of us. Today, upon learning of some little bit of news I was feeling aggravated. In my perspective this is a classic Soprano's scene on aggravation...and to top it off ....its all about local coffee shops!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAYq9jSUKt4

LOS ANGELES (AP) � Until about a month ago, Robbie Rogers had no interest in being one of the highest-profile openly gay athletes in the world.
Rogers didn't want the pressure or attention, and he was weary of soccer itself. After coming out and simultaneously retiring in February, the former MLS champion and U.S. national team player planned to devote himself to fashion school and family, not soccer or social change.
Rogers told The Associated Press he changed his mind when he realized how much he still loved his sport � and how much good he could do by playing it instead of standing on the sideline.
"I don't know what I was so afraid of," Rogers said. "It's been such a positive experience for me. The one thing I've learned from all of this is being gay is not that big of a deal to people."
Rogers joined the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer yesterday, agreeing to a multiyear contract in another step by openly gay athletes in professional sports.
The 26-year-old Rogers recently thought he would never pull on another jersey, imagining nonstop scrutiny and criticism. His concerns were eased by the strong support he received from family, fans and players, including Galaxy star Landon Donovan.
Now Rogers is eager to be more than a footnote. He is determined to thrive as the league's first openly gay player.

Perhaps it's no surprise that two Cypress-area runaways had planned their trip in detail.
In the end, however, their plans went awry.
Liana Andrews, 16, and Kacie Watson, 14, disappeared Aug. 17 with a 2001 Chrysler Sebring belonging to Andrews' mother.
The girls were found Aug. 25 in San Antonio, after frantic worry by their families and a prayer vigil the night before at the church both girls attend.
Early in their disappearance, authorities believed that a man they met on Facebook lured them to San Antonio, where the car was found abandoned Aug. 20, said Deputy Thomas Gilliland, spokesman for the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
When investigators analyzed the girls' computers, they found that the man they supposedly went to meet didn't exist, Gilliland said.
"It was a fictitious Facebook page that was created by one of the girls," he said.
The teen had used her father's work computer at home to make up a profile for the man she called Shawn Hernandez, he said.
"The ruse they created was quite elaborate for two juveniles," Gilliland said. "These are the type of children who have grown up to be social-media savvy."
The girls also revealed their intentions by keeping detailed, handwritten journals, which they left at home.
"They were pinpointing the times it took to go between Houston and San Antonio, Houston to Dallas, Houston to Denver," he said. "They had everything pretty meticulously planned out. 'Four minutes for a restroom break and then back on the road.' "
Also, from the computer, they had printed maps and road directions to other cities, which they copied by hand into their journals, he said.
Their plans unraveled in San Antonio, where police impounded the car because the Harris County Sheriff's Office had reported it stolen, standard procedure in a runaway case, Gilliland said.
The girls' backpacks, with most of their money and supplies, were in the car when police had it towed, so they ended up panhandling Aug. 24 in front of a San Antonio store.
Store employees called police, who contacted the girls' parents.
The teens will not be charged, Gilliland said.
"We weren't very happy when we found out it was a ruse, but this is our job," he said. "This is what we do. I hope it's a good life lesson for them. This could have ended a whole different way."
It can also be a lesson for parents, Gilliland said, to be aware of what their children are doing online.
"It's good to have your kids computer savvy, but you need to be a responsible parent and know the sites they visit," he said. "Either they show you or you find out what they're looking at."

Smith & Wesson Named "Firearms Manufacturer of the Year" by National
Scottsdale, Ariz. - November 12, 2003 - Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (AMEX: SWB), parent company of the legendary 151-year-old handgun maker, Smith & Wesson Corp., was named "2003 Hunting and Shooting Sports Firearms Manufacturer of the Year" by the sporting goods industry's national association of wholesalers.
The National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW), meeting in Phoenix over the past weekend, is comprised of 34 wholesaler companies and has been recognizing manufacturers since 1979. This is the first time Smith & Wesson has been chosen for one of the industry's most prestigious awards. Smith & Wesson was selected over all of the other producers of firearms that provide products for the industry.
"This recognition by the sporting goods wholesale community is a great reflection of how far Smith & Wesson has progressed over the past two years," said Colton Melby, president and chief operating officer of Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation. "We continue to bring new products to marketplace and strive to be a business partner to our wholesale and retail customers."
Smith & Wesson announced the introduction of several new products including the new Smith & Wesson model 642 J-frame with Crimson Trace Lasergrips at the show. Smith & Wesson's new products, introduced to market in 2003, include the well received Smith & Wesson Model 500 Magnum, the SW99 .45ACP, the 9mm and .40S&W. Smith & Wesson also introduced, in the spring of this year, the first-ever scandium frame pistol, the 4040PD. These products were again well received by the sporting goods wholesalers during last weekend's event.
"The Company continues to quickly respond to the marketplace and provide new products, innovative accessories and features that benefit our customers," said Melby. "We believe the new products, programs and promotions that we've introduced will continue the momentum created since our acquisition of the company in 2001, as we have experienced a growth in sales, market share and profitability."

The HDJ-2000MK2 promises to deliver Pioneer DJ's exceptional sound quality from a newly redesigned body that provides a sleek and modern cosmetic look. The HDJ-2000MK2 incorporates large 50mm drivers and features low-volume air chambers for noise isolation and high quality construction to achieve maximum audio performance.
Unmatched Sound Quality
The exceptional audio quality produced by the HDJ-2000MK2 comes from using large 50 mm drivers that can clearly and efficiently reproduce a wide spectrum of frequencies. The large drivers, combined with copper-clad aluminum wire (CCAW) voice coils, rare-earth magnets and 38μm-thick diaphragms, generate sounds with great accuracy and control with increased output in the lower bass region. With the HDJ-2000MK2, users can easily distinguish between vocals and instruments, such as kick and snare drums, making beat matching easier with less effort even in noisy environments.
Sound Isolation Design
The HDJ-2000MK2 is designed with Pioneer's innovative sound-isolation chamber as part of its bass reflex port, which isolates low and mid frequencies in the 300 Hz to 1,600 Hz by as much as seven decibels compared to the original model, resulting in more defined mid-bass/mid-range response.
Refined New Looks
Much like its predecessor, the new HDJ-2000MK2 offers cosmetics that complement Pioneer's high quality and performance with a sleek yet simple design. The model incorporates large ultra-comfortable low-resilience urethane memory foam ear pads to create a tight seal around the ears and significantly reduce external sounds. The urethane memory pads are finished in long-lasting protein leather for great feel and extended comfort.
The HDJ-2000MK2 features a flexible headband and hinges made of strong yet lightweight magnesium alloy to withstand the rigors of extended professional use. Each ear piece swivels up to 90 degrees and can be flipped around 180 degrees for one ear listening applications. In addition, the headphones features a quick connect single-sided cable for ease of use and convenience
Additional Features
- Foldable design for compact storage
- Included 1.2m single output curled cord and 1.6m straight woven sheathed cord with mini XLR connections

Meg Whitman is running a new radio ad. It says Whitman is "the only reliable fiscal conservative in the (Governor's) race." The spot implies that her Republican opponent Steve Poizner can't be trusted to protect Proposition 13, which caps property taxes.
Poizner responded with a TV commercial. It says Whitman could have voted against higher taxes a hundred times during a 28 year period when she didn't bother to vote.
The media blitzes are draining campaign money but there's plenty more where it came from. Billionaires Whitman and Poizner are said to have written big checks to their respective campaigns this week. Poizner's donation was for $2.5 million dollars. Whitman's check was for five million. Neither check has been returned for insufficient funds.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Whitman has now funneled $64 million to her own campaign and you can bet more is coming before the June 8th primary. Poizner has given his campaign $21.5 million. He'll be more generous to his political ambitions as well.
Both campaigns are engaging in their spending sprees for the same reason. Polls show that the race has tightened considerably, just as absentee ballots began arriving in the mail.
So, when it comes to the ad wars, the hits just keep on coming. It will be a bloodied and less wealthy candidate who emerges next month to take on the Democrats.

Press at Art Basel: Stuffy's
Yesterday, at Art Basel: Stuffy's, I met an artist named Press. He was working on a portrait, from memory, using only toner, Q-tips, and a brush.
Press' portrait, with tools. He is unsatisfied with the jaw and wishes parts of the portrait were darker, but the copy shop doesn't have any more empty toner cartridges for him.
Press is welcome at Art Basel: Stuffy's.

Press talked my ear off...
He has made 1800 poems, was in MCV Hospital for 10 years, and "was in a coma for 3 years, 5 months, 4 days" after being shot in the head and stomach while saving a woman from being raped. "They found cancer while I was in the coma. They put me through chemo... which I guess was a good thing because I didn't feel any of the side-effects."
Most of his poems are not written down because Press has spent most of his life illiterate, only recently learning how to read and write. He composed his first poem sitting in Monroe Park, on the last day of 1999... "it took me three years to learn how to spell them and print them up."
He recited a poem, and told me that someone named Professor Clip has been recording them. He had Professor Clip, or someone, google his poetry to make sure he wasn't copying something he'd heard before... "everything I've done is original. I kind of figured it was, but I want to be sure."
Press has never been to school.. "when I was a baby I was put in a trash can. I was found in a brown paper bag"... he was placed in a foster home where he was chained up for ten years until he was rescued, and that "when I came out I couldn't see, walk, or talk." Press doesn't know his age.
Press has made more than 140 artworks... "this is number 149"... using whatever materials he can find. He made a portrait of Max Weinberg, including drums and cymbals, on a 5" skillet pan using bolts and nails. Press prefers to work stoned.
Press lives in the woods. He carries ground coffee in a plastic bottle and gets hot water at Stuffy's. He brings his own cup and filters. He gives all of his artwork away, even when he is offered money for it. He has a big Jesus painting in a church somewhere, which I will try to find.
Press says he has used 7,812 Q-tips in making this portrait.
Press's favorite artists at Art Basel: Stuffy's are Travis Conner, Paul DiPasqaule, Michelle Arthur, Bruce Wilhelm, and Barbara Tisserat. Press on Scott Eastwood... "I guess I could do that". Press on Timothy Sean Johnston... likes it but "I see a lot of that".
Press was hesitant to say that he didn't like any of the work, only that there is some that he doesn't understand. He cannot get into Don Crow, and his strongest criticisms were for Michael Lease's obituary piece, expressing concern for those friends who may have seen it and thought it was real... "that's only supposed to happen once"... "he's going to pay for that".
How much of this is true? I don't know...

Press is not so far off... Obit to Self April 10, 2005, the title of the "obituary piece" made a number of close friends and even some of my mom's friends very upset. After the initial critique of the piece Tom Adair was very worried about me and his words were similar to Press'. He made me nervous and his words, (in conjunction with all the resons why I made the piece and the death of a close friend) had me on edge for a couple of weeks.
Press brings some of those thoughts and my questions about my motivation for the piece, back.

You begin by laying a blue backed prediction card face down on the table. Then you display both the front and back of a red deck. With the help of a spectator, the magic begins. You ask the spectator to give a number of their own choosing. They now use that number to select a card. The remainder of the deck is placed off to the side and the prediction is now turned over to reveal that it matches the spectator's card! But it's not a perfect match because the selection has a red back and the prediction is blue. You respond, "No problem!" With a snap of your fingers both cards now have blue backs! The audience is impressed, but you explain that the prediction you can understand, but where all the other cards went is another matter. With that, you turn over the remainder of the deck to reveal all the faces are now totally blank! This is a real triple whammy!

There's no denying Lynd Ward's well deserved reputation as a master of pen-and-ink drawing.
Several years ago, TI list member Maureen Goodman sent the scans below. These three Lynd Ward pen-and-ink drawings were among her personal collection of some 7,000 pieces of original illustration art (!)
At the time, Maureen was attempting to catalogue this massive collection, which she inherited from her father. These three pieces were published in Volume 8 - Myths & Legends of a 1953 edition of The Children's Hour.
How Maureen's father (and later, Maureen) came to own all these originals is a fascinating story in itself - one for another day. For now, I just wanted to make sure I included these scans in our Lynd Ward posts...
... and say thanks to Maureen for sharing them with us! Have a great weekend, everyone :^)

Fulham's Capital One Cup dreams ended at the Second Round stage as the Whites went down to a 1-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.
The only goal of the game came just after the break, Gary Madine slotting home from the penalty spot after Stephen Kelly had been adjudged to have fouled Chris Maguire inside the box.
Brede Hangeland saw what looked like a perfectly good equaliser ruled out by an assistant referee's flag on the hour mark
And it was the Championship Owls who progressed to the next stage of the competition on a disappointing night for Martin Jol's men.
Jol made five changes from the side that lost 3-2 to Manchester United on Saturday, with Kelly, Chris Baird, Steve Sidwell, Pajtim Kasami and Hugo Rodallega all drafted in, the latter making his first full start for the Whites. Matthew Briggs continued at left-back in the absence of John Arne Riise.
Mark Schwarzer was named in goal, behind a back four of Kelly, Captain Hangeland, Aaron Hughes and Briggs. The midfield comprised of Damien Duff, Sidwell, Baird and Alexander Kačaniklić, with Kasami slotting in just behind Rodallega. After suffering an an injury niggle in the warm-up, Bryan Ruiz was replaced in the starting XI by Duff, with young Tom Donegan getting a late spot on the substitutes' bench.
A wild shot by Kasami on 15 minutes was the first incident of note in the game, with Sidwell booked shortly afterwards for a late challenge on Jose Semedo. Kasami followed Sidwell into the book on 28 minutes for catching Giles Coke.
It was Wednesday who looked the more likely to make something happen, with Schwarzer doing well to punch two dangerous looking corners away from danger. And the Fulham goalkeeper did well to get down low to a Michail Antonio drive on 35 minutes after the Owls man cut in from the right flank.
At the other end, Briggs sent a speculative right-footed effort well wide on 37 minutes, before Madine got free of Hangeland but sent his header straight at Schwarzer from 12 yards.
Fulham were being restricted to long-range efforts; Sidewell shot well over on 42 minutes, while Schwarzer had to be alert to dive bravely at the feet of Madine in injury time at the end of the first half after a dangerous-looking cross from Antonio.
The Owls almost went in front within a minute of the restart when a scuffed Antonio corner was almost bundled home only for Kačaniklić to clear off the line. It was the closest either side had come to a goal – but Wednesday would be presented with an even better chance on 49 minutes when Kelly was adjudged to have tripped Maguire just insdie the box.
Madine stepped up to take the spot-kick and sent Schwarzer the wrong way to give Wednesday the lead.
Miguel Llera charged down a Duff half-volley on the hour mark after Wednesday had only partially cleared a Kasami corner, with Fulham introducing Marcello Trotta to proceedings on 62 minutes. The Italian replaced Kasami as Fulham switched to a 4-4-2 formation.
Fulham thought they had drawn level a minute later. Rodallega swung in a free-kick from the left and Hangeland rose highest to nod past Stephen Bywater – only for the assistant referee to belatedly raise his flag for an alleged infringement.
Hangeland should have done better on 73 minutes when he nodded a Duff free-kick over the bar, with Trotta then forcing Bywater into action for the first real time when he met a cross from substitute Sascha Riether but saw his header saved by the Wednesday keeper.
Wednesday went close to increasing their lead on 76 minutes when Nejc Pecnik saw his 20-yard effort deflected onto the crossbar and Fulham couldn't find a way through at the other end as the Owls claimed victory.

One year and one world away
Brad Snyder takes fourth in 100m butterfly
Brad Snyder wins 100m butterfly (S11)
preliminary heat
Brad Snyder wins his second medal of the
London 2012 Paralympic Games
Brad Snyder wins 100m freestyle final
No matter what place Brad Snyder finishes in the 400-meter freestyle Friday, he will come out of the pool a winner.
Exactly one year ago, on Sept. 7, 2011, Navy Lt. Snyder lost his sight when he stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED) while on military duty in Afghanistan. Today, however, he will be swimming for another Paralympic medal in London. He already has won a gold medal in the 100 and earned silver in the 50.
On the anniversary of his injury, he will compete in the 400, what he calls his primary event, and he will show the world how much of a transformation he has made from being a wounded warrior to becoming a world-class athlete.
He said he has "reconciled" becoming blind is by putting his injury into perspective. He is able to swim competitively, even though some of his friends have not been so fortunate. In fact, he is reminded of the military's losses each day as he has a tattoo on his chest commemorating the loss of one of his fallen comrades.
"I'm still here," said Snyder, 28, a diver in the U.S. Navy for six years. "I have a lot of friends who didn't make it back and were boarded up on C17s to be buried in Arlington. I'm not buried in Arlington. I'm here in London competing."
Snyder began swimming competitively when he was 11 and became a star swimmer in high school in Florida. He then went to the U.S. Naval Academy, where he became captain of his swim team. He vividly recalls watching Tom Dolan winning the 400 IM at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games, but never expected to be competing in international competitions himself.
But swimming has proven to be the ideal way for him to make a comeback from his injury and to continue to serve his country. Snyder is one of 20 service members and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces who are competing in the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
Snyder vividly recalls being injured in Afghanistan. He said he was coming to the aid of other people who were hurt in an IED blast when he stepped on another IED a mere 10 meters away from the first one. Although he was able to walk away from the incident, and was relieved to realize he had all four of his limbs, he knew he received major injuries to his face. He was taken via helicopter to receive medical treatment and placed in a medically induced coma. When he woke up, he saw his family.
Initially, he was treated in Bethesda, Md., but then was transferred to the VA Hospital in Tampa, Fla. Members of his hometown community had always known Snyder as a swimmer, so he figured, "If I got back in the pool, I would show them that I'm OK."
At first, he began swimming using noodles and tethers. Five weeks after his injury, however, he said he was swimming laps. In February, he competed in his first swim meet in six years at the 2012 Jimi Flowers Classic Meet at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. During the meet, he caught the eye of a coach named Brian Loeffler, who coaches the swim team at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore.
Loeffler had coached another blind swimmer, Philip Scholz, in the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games and tried to contact Snyder and his coach via the internet simply to urge him on and to offer any guidance with the Paralympic Movement.
Loeffler said he didn't have any luck making the connection, but as fate would have it, Snyder wound up coming to Baltimore for an internship at RedOwl Analytics. Loeffler was contacted to help coach Snyder, and now the two are in London winning medals at the Paralympic Games.
"I still think we have some amazing performances ahead," Loeffler said.
Snyder said making the transition to swimming as a blind athlete has been relatively easy since he has jumped off the start blocks hundreds of times in his life. But he has encountered new experiences, mainly learning how to handle the mind games played in the ready room, the room where athletes wait before they swim, and with learning how to find out where he finished in a race.
He said that the Navy inadvertently prepared him for being able to swim blind because in his training as a diver he often had to wear blackout masks and swim through dark areas where it was virtually impossible to see.
"I joke with my Navy buddies that this is not the first time I have to do these things," he said.
But nothing could prepare for the amount of crowd noise he would encounter at these Games.
"I don't get nervous very easily," he said. "I kind of pride myself in my stoicism and my ability to use my experience in the Navy to stress manage. But I got incredibly nervous the first time I came out in front of that crowd.
"It's a very, very humbling experience to stand in front of that many people and keep the distraction out and perform the way you want to so both times I hopped out in front of the blocks it was definitely a challenge to mitigate that distraction and do what you want to."
He also has tried to learn how to gauge how he performed by listening for his teammates' voices when he touches the wall.
Often, he does that and still has no clue whether he placed first or last.
"It's like, so what happened?" he said.
But as soon as he finished the 100 in London, he said he heard his teammates.
"They went nuts," he said. "I thought, 'Well, they're not going to be that excited for fourth place.' "
He was right. He had won the gold. As he put it, the win has been "an in the clouds experience".
Back home in Florida, his family and friends have been following his successes anyway they can, be it through the Internet (you can follow Paralympic results at www.USParalympics.org) or even through streamed coverage that had been projected onto TV screens in local bars. He even said some of his friends planned their work schedules around his swims.
His swim on Friday likely will be must-see TV. On Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. EDT, NBC Sports Network will air a one hour highlight special on the London 2012 Paralympic Games. NBC will also broadcast a 90 minute special from 2-3:30 p.m. EDT on Sept. 16.
He didn't like the fact that he was "benched" from his military team a year ago.
Now he finds himself part of another U.S. team.
"Swimming has become a way that I can garner the relevance and success I used to gain from my service," he said. "Now I do it in the pool … to be able to once again get back in the fight."

Oman launches ME-first solar driven oil recovery
Muscat, May 21, 2013
Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), the largest producer of oil and gas in Oman, and GlassPoint Solar, a leader in solar enhanced oil recovery, have commissioned the Middle East's first solar enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project.
By harnessing the sun's energy with GlassPoint's Enclosed Trough technology, the solar EOR project produces a daily average of 50 tons of emissions-free steam that feeds directly into existing thermal EOR operations at PDO's Amal West field in Southern Oman.
The 7MW system is in regular operation and recently passed its first performance acceptance test since coming online, exceeding contracted steam output by 10 per cent.
"PDO has successfully extended the life of its heavy oil assets by deploying innovative EOR technologies over the past few decades," said Raoul Restucci, managing director of PDO.
"The GlassPoint system is proving it can reliably fuel thermal EOR with solar power while reducing the need to burn natural gas. This solar EOR solution provides for an economically viable and environmentally sustainable long term resource to develop Oman's heavy oil portfolio, while saving valuable natural gas resources for use in other gas-dependent industries."
Today, EOR applications account for a significant portion of Oman's annual natural gas consumption. By incorporating solar steam, PDO can significantly reduce the amount of natural gas it burns to produce steam for EOR.
GlassPoint's solution can cut natural gas used for EOR by up to 80 per cent, helping Oman release its natural gas resources for higher value applications such as power generation, desalination, industrial development or export as LNG.
"PDO is widely recognized as the EOR pioneer throughout the Middle East," said Rod MacGregor, GlassPoint CEO. "Deploying the region's first solar EOR project further underscores its leadership and commitment to advancing new technologies that will economically expand production of existing reserves."
"Preliminary results from this project demonstrate that solar steam generated with GlassPoint's Enclosed Trough architecture is equally effective as natural gas for thermal EOR," said Dr Syham Bentouati, head of New Technology Implementation at PDO.
"This unit serves as a performance and operational baseline for future solar steam generation projects in Oman, providing us with valuable information for planning potential future large-scale solar steam projects."
GlassPoint's unique Enclosed Trough design encloses parabolic mirrors inside a glasshouse structure, protecting the solar collectors from harsh conditions of high wind, dust, dirt, sand and humidity common to Middle East oilfields.
"GlassPoint is committed to generating in-country value by partnering with local contractors and manufacturers," added MacGregor. "More than 40 per cent of the solar installation was fabricated and constructed with the help of Omani companies, and we plan to increase the percentage of local content significantly as we grow throughout the country and region." – TradeArabia News Service

I responded to Shel Holtz's call to give back to the profession and mentor a PR college student. A short time later I was introduced to my mentee.
I had already imagined the dynamics of our relationship. I, the wise PR executive with nearly 30 years of PR and journalism experience, would impart my words of wisdom onto this eager student looking for guidance in the PR world. I would provide advice on career strategies, write a résumé and network, introduce her to my contacts and offer support.
Instead, this relationship was a role reversal, and I ended up being the one who received the mentoring.

text: I ripped a sick backside fakie 360 ollie and shotgunned a Mountain Dew when I saw this $179 X-Games skateboard shelf and iPod stereo today. Then I cranked some All American Rejects just for good measure and sighed heavily. The sounds of pure emo moods spewed forth from the player's two 5" speakers, and I quickly fired off an abbreviated text message to my friend sitting on the couch next to me about how much I hated my parents and materialism. My vial of midnight black hair dye vibrated with barely contained malice for our consumer society on the skateboard shelf above. It was just another Sunday. [PB Teen via 7 Gadgets]

But actually i know only part of it and i think its pretty awesome.
Can anyone help me to show MANY possibilites of that ?

Ok – I'll say it one last time: just make the trade. At this point, Steve Slaton has fallen to the #3 RB position in Houston behind Arian Foster and newly acquired (and apparently rather fat and out of shape) Derrick Ward. Even though the depth chart says he's #2, he's not. While some believe this decline in opportunity is due to a possible decline in skill level, I don't. There are other factors. Last year he was hurt, so some time was spent recovering. And last year, he also had a fumbling issue. I also believe that the Hou O-Line, toward the beginning of the year last year, was not run blocking well – their focus was on pass blocking. So Slaton was a victim of that.
But the biggest factor here is the doghouse factor. Gary Kubiak doesn't like Steve Slaton and I think it may be solely because of his fumbles last year. (For the record, Slaton only fumbled 2x in 2008 when he rushed 268 times for nearly 1300 yards averaging 4.8 yards per carry…he also had 50 receptions). The RB's coach and other offensive coaches were raving about Slaton in the preseason – talking about how he looked like himself again (after recovering from the injury) and how he still had the dynamic skill set that sets him apart.
So, that brings me to my point: why not make a play for a guy like this who is in the doghouse? If the other offensive coaches are to be believed, Slaton still has it. He is a great runner, has better hands than most RBs in the league w/re to catching the ball out of the backfield, and the bonus is that he could be a great return guy as well. At this point, considering they got him for a 3rd round pick and considering Gary Kubiak doesn't like him – I bet they let him go for a 4th round pick or a 5th rounder …maybe even a 6th rounder.

It's been a while since I've posted a non-vegetarian recipe here on my blog, but I am making an effort to include a bit more fish on my weekly diet. This soup is so easy and quick to whip up and it was a perfect lunch to make between shopping and house-cleaning. I'm certainly fuelled to keep going now!
Tomatoey Salmon Soup
olive oil
1 brown onion, chopped finely
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 x 400g tin crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
600-700ml water
vegetable or fish stock
4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
400g salmon, skinned, boned and cubed

So this Halloween, why don't you and your friend wear matching Halloween Costumes. It's a great idea and lots of fun. Here are three of the coolest Halloween costumes ideas for two. They are creative, easy and simple. I Hope that they inspire you.
Grapes & Wine: Squash me if you don't think this is the coolest Halloween Costume for two ever. And wait till you get to the face painting, its loads of fun too.
Halloween Costumes
Grapes, you'll need to pick a colour - green or purple. And then go shopping for a long-sleeved body suit, extra-thick tights, and a pair of stockings, a ski hat and a big bag of green or purple balloons. Once you're all dressed in purple, or green, have fun with the face paint. Don't go near the hair spray though. If you have a petite help, you won't need to spray your hair green. Take the top of a pair of stockings and make yourself a stocking hat. Throw on your felt hat and start attaching your balloons.
Wine, get ready to be in a box. Go pick up a large box from the grocery shop, and a carton of wine. Ask a few friends over, open the wine and get that carton box painted white. Then take the empty wine carton, rinse it out and flatten it! You'll want to glue the wine carton onto your freshly painted carton box (once it's properly dried, of course). Or you may pick an easy wine label to duplicate and get out the paintbrushes or use the paint software on your computer and get creative. Then cut out holes for your head and arms. And finally, tape a bag of purple colour liquid to the front of the box. You can all the time pick up some sparkling ribena, attach a tube, and go around offering free samples.
Bonnie & Clyde: For this Cool Halloween Costume for Two, a trip to the thrift shop is a great idea. Just Google for pictures of the pair, and make sure you take a few pictures of them with you when you shop.
Bonnie will want one blond wig, one black dress, a few longer, loopy necklaces and some fish-net stockings. A stretchy black headband, which can be accessorized with black sequins and white feathers, will go well with it. Put on a fake solitaire ring, some high heels and see if you can find one of those old-fashioned ritzy cigarette holders.
Clyde: You need an old-fashioned suit, one black derby hat and a watch chain that gets pinned to the insides of the trouser pockets. Then add a fake moustache. And get ready for your heist.
The Crayola Crayons: This is a charming Halloween Costume for two where you're unlikely to be asked who you are. Each Crayola needs to do the following: Pick a colour - be it pink, or blue or green, or maybe yellow's your colour. Then two pairs of thick black stockings, cheap white runners, one white bed sheet, and a few cans of spray paint (black and anyone colour your Crayola is). You'll also want one box of Crayola crayons so that you can get the logo. Start by development a cone-shaped hat out of cardboard. Then cut your sheet so that it's about the size of a medium-sized towel. Now spray paint the sheets with the Crayola logo, your shoes and hat.
When you're ready to get into your Crayola costume, start with the tights. Put one pair of tights on as tights. Use the other pair for the arms. This involves cutting a hole in the tights for your head. You might then want to wear a mini-shirt or jean shorts before you put on the sheet. Now wrap the sheet around you and fasten it at the back with a few security pins.
Then fasten your hat on with some string, put on some white socks as gloves and your newly spray-painted runners.
Happy Halloween! And enjoy your Cool Halloween Costumes for Two.
And remember, the true test of either your integrate costume is cool or not is if you get separated from your other half at the Halloween Party and citizen come up to you and say, "Didn't you come with...?"The Coolest Halloween Costume Ideas For Two - Matching Costumes Made Easy

Berlusconi aides seek presidential pardon
ROME — A Silvio Berlusconi loyalist warned on Saturday of a possible "civil war" if the ex-premier's punishment for tax-fraud conviction is not lifted, as his aides maneuvered to win a presidential pardon so he can avoid a prison term and a ban on holding public office.
Berlusconi stalwarts also urged the 10 million Italians who voted for the conservative leader in this year's election to fill the streets of Rome on Sunday. Italy's highest court on Thursday upheld Berlusconi's four-year prison sentence, the first time that the media mogul was definitely convicted and sentenced in two decades of trials and other criminal probes. A law to reduce prison overcrowding slashes his sentence to one year and since he is over 70, he can choose house confinement or perform social services instead of going to prison.
Berlusconi insists he is a victim of prosecutors and judges who he says have leftist sympathies. "In this country, democracy has been mutilated" by the high court's decision, Daniela Santanche, one of Berlusconi's closest associates, told Sky TG24 TV.
His political associates and party officials pressed their "save Silvio" strategy on several fronts after huddling with him on Friday evening. Berlusconi, in a recorded video message a few hours after Italy's supreme court upheld the conviction, had sounded shaken but defiant, vowing to galvanize his party's base.
Renato Brunetta, a leader of Berlusconi's People of Freedom party, said Saturday he and a former Senate president, Renato Schifani, have requested a meeting with Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, who can issue pardons.
Napolitano hasn't publicly commented about the prospects of a pardon. But, according to the Italian constitution, only Berlusconi, his lawyer or a family member can ask for a presidential pardon, which could wipe out or lessen the punishment but not the conviction itself.
Fueling political tension was longtime Berlusconi loyalist Sandro Bondi's assessment that Italy "must find a solution or risk civil war" if the 76-year-old billionaire businessman is forced to serve time and is stripped of his Senate seat.
Whatever the government's fate, Berlusconi isn't about to start serving his sentence or lose his seat. He has until mid-October to decide whether to serve the year's sentence at home or perform some socially useful service. And Senate procedures to strip him of his post will likely take months.
Exposing raw nerves in Premier Enrico Letta's coalition, Deputy Economy Minister Stefano Fassina denounced the request for a pardon as "an unacceptable provocation" and Bondi's words as "bordering on subversion."
Letta's fragile coalition risks collapse if Berlusconi's party withdraws support. Berlusconi's political heir, Interior Minister Angelino Alfano has said that maybe he and fellow ministers who support the media mogul should quit in a show of anger over the conviction.
Letta's center-left Democratic Party won the most votes in February's election for Parliament but not enough to govern alone with a majority in both chambers of the legislature. Democrats reluctantly agreed to a coalition with Berlusconi's conservatives. The alliance has been fraught with tensions for weeks before Berlusconi's conviction made its long-term survival uncertain.

Each month, LightBox profiles a notable wire photographer in recognition of the brave and tireless work of these often unsung photojournalists. In August, we acknowledge the work of Ali Ali, who shoots for EPA (European Pressphoto Agency). Below, LightBox presents a short essay by Ali about his past and current work, and his photographic ambitions.
My name is Ali Noureldine, but everyone knows me as Ali Ali. I was born in Gaza City, and grew up there and in Egypt.
My brother, Fayz Nourdeldin, was an Agence France-Presse photographer and it was through him that my passion for photography began. I was at a refugee school until I graduated from high school. I went on to earn my diploma in Journalism at the Azhar University in the Gaza Strip.
Before I enrolled in university, I began working at 17 as a freelance photographer for EPA in the Gaza bureau, joining the agency two years later.
At 17, I photographed the Israeli invasion of the northern Gaza Strip — blood, children's screams, men and women crying. I had never before experienced this.
During the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip in 2008, I was concerned about my family because my home is in the northern regions and I had to balance between work and family. I realized that I should concentrate on what was going on in Gaza. I didn't enter my house for 18 days.
Then came the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza; it was the biggest event I had experienced since my start in photojournalism. European Pressphoto Agency charged me with the responsibility of covering the withdrawal from the northern areas, and it was a great effort. After the withdrawal, I gained experience and continued to get closer, more intimate with my storytelling while walking the alleyways of camps and the affected areas.
After the Israeli war I focused on the people — the loss of entire families and how they suffered. I was trying to visit people daily, seeing how they were living before even bringing my camera into their lives, hoping that they would accept me. From then on, most of my work has been documenting news, covering the political situation in the region between the Israelis and Palestinians. But what most caught my attention was how the lives of individuals and families were continually affected by the conflict. I wanted, through my images, to show the world the human side of my people, by documenting their suffering.
In 2009, I participated in a year-long World Press Photo workshop. It was an important experience for me and I put to good use what I learned there as I covered the blockade, the opening of the Egyptian border and other events.
The eight-day Israeli war in 2012 was different for me because my family home was shelled while I was working. My father and my sister were injured, and words simply can't express the feeling I had when I learned my family was in danger. Now my family and I were part of the very news that my colleagues and I were covering. But those events definitely helped me to grow and mature; they helped me become the person I am now.
As a photojournalist, I admit the necessity of covering these major, and often terrible, stories. But I also adore working on feature stories. I love to see and to document the look of innocence in children's faces, and the quiet lives of ordinary people. When I capture these sorts of things in an image, I feel great. I feel happy.
Finally, I am honored to say that I have been chosen to participate in the 2013 World Press Master Class.
This feature is part of TIME's ongoing spotlight on wire photographers. See our previous profile on Associated Press photographer Muhammed Muheisen.

In Hounded by God, the author writes about his struggle to integrate his homosexuality with his personality and his Catholic-Christian spirituality. Born in 1948, he grew up in the '50s, '60s, and '70s when homosexuality was considered either a mental illness or a major sin. In 1968, he had his first homosexual experience. Feeling shame and trying to repress his feelings, he spent over six years in therapy.
Joseph Gentilini and his spouse, Leo Radel, were both born in Columbus Ohio; Joe in 1948 and Leo in 1950. Ironically, they both attended the same Catholic elementary school, although they did not know each other then. Joseph always wanted to be in a career that involved helping others. He earned his undergraduate degree in 1970 from the Ohio Dominican College (now University) in social welfare.
I took a ride to a park just to be alone and to think. I felt empty, guilty, and hopeless, and so I took my pad and pencil along to write. I had begun to put my feelings and thoughts on paper the summer before, and it was a way to release tension and put "everything" out in front of me.

SYDNEY (AP) John Senden shot a 6-under 66 in calm morning conditions to take a two-stroke lead after the first round of the Australian Open on Thursday.
Senden had eight birdies but back-to-back bogeys at The Lakes, while Englishman Justin Rose, who birdied three of his first four holes, was level with Australians Kim Felton, Brendan Jones and Richard Green and Gareth Paddison of New Zealand after 68s.
Rose dropped his only shot of the day when he muffed a greenside flop shot on the par-4 third hole, his 12th of the round.
``I decided to try and hit the high, sexy lob - that didn't really come off,'' Rose said.
Senden had a consistent year on the PGA Tour, making 19 cuts from 22 events, including five top-10 finishes.
``The results have shown in the past couple of years. I have been inside the top 30 and been consistent,'' Senden said. ``I have taken those feelings and brought them home to Australia. I feel I can keep improving and keeping knocking on the door in every event I play.''
Adam Scott, who practiced with a new putter earlier in the week, used his old broomstick-style blade on Thursday and missed a 4-foot birdie attempt on his opening hole before shooting 72.
``I would have loved to play better, but there's 54 holes to go. That's a lot of golf to play,'' Scott said.
Scott's current putter, which he anchors to his chest, will be banned in 2016 under a proposed rule changes by golf's governing bodies.
Among the high afternoon scores in gusting winds were eight-time major champion Tom Watson, who had a 78, and 14-year-old Chinese amateur Guan Tianling, who is likely to miss the halfway cut after an 82.
Contesting the Australian Open for the first time since winning the tournament in 1984, Watson lost six shots to par over four holes from the fifth to the eighth.
``I'm embarrassed,'' Watson said.
