Yom Kippur War
On October 6, 1973, Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), the holiest day on the Jewish religious calendar, Egypt and Syria took advantage of optimal circumstances to launch attacks that took Israel by surprise. So complete was the element of surprise that when war erupted, Israel was only beginning to mobilize the reserve forces which form the bulk of the IDF. The thin forces stationed along the two fronts had to contain the invading armies until the IDF was prepared to meet them in force. The IAF was hampered by the dense anti-aircraft missile system which the enemy had deployed close to the front.
Egyptian forces succeeded in crossing the Canal and establishing beachheads on the Israeli-held east bank. On the Golan Heights, the Syrians pushed past the cease-fire lines and occupied a large area. They also seized the key Israeli intelligence- gathering position high on Mt. Hermon.
Within two days, the IDF, now fully deployed, blocked the Egyptian and Syrian advances and took the offensive. Because of the huge quantitative superiority of the Syrian forces, a situation compounded by the proximity of Jewish settlements on the Syrians' path of advance, it was decided to give priority to the northern front. By October 10, the Syrians had been pushed back and the entire Golan was again in Israeli hands, except for the Hermon position, which was only recaptured toward the end of the war. Between October 11 and October 14, the IDF pushed the Syrian forces across the cease-fire lines and penetrated Syrian territory. An Iraqi expeditionary force dispatched to reinforce the Syrians was also successfully blocked.
On the southern front, an early Israeli counter-offensive failed. But Israeli units managed to overcome an attack by Egyptian tank forces, destroying 200 enemy tanks in the process. Shortly afterward, on 15 October, the IDF renewed the counter-offensive. The main thrust of the fighting now was to push across the Canal and strike at Egyptian forces on the other side.
A gap between the Egyptian 2nd and 3rd Armies was chosen as the crossing point. It was a difficult operation, preceded by heavy fighting to clear the approach lines. The Engineering Corps constructed a bridge across the Canal in the face of concerted Egyptian resistance. By October 19, Israeli troops were well established on the west bank. Until the first scheduled cease-fire on October 22, the IDF enlarged the territory under its control. Although the Egyptians had agreed to the cease-fire, it did not take effect at the designated time. By the time an effective cease-fire was actually implemented, on October 24, the IDF had completely surrounded the Egyptian 3rd Army.
On the northern front, the IDF regained control of the Hermon by October 22, removing the last Syrian forces from the area they had seized at the start of the war. The war ended on October 24 in a decisive victory for the Israeli Army. In the north, the Syrians failed to achieve any territorial gain, while the IDF had crossed the old cease-fire lines into Syrian territory, acquiring new vantage points on the Golan. The Syrian Army suffered major losses of manpower and equipment.
Lessons of the War
In the first months after the war, Egyptian and Syrian forces renewed the War of Attrition along the cease-fire lines. The IDF focused on building its force on an unprecedented scale. The enemy attempted to prevent the IDF from conducting a war of movement dominated by tank and air power. Arab armies made extensive use of infantry equipped with anti-tank weapons, exploiting their inherent numerical superiority. In response, the IDF took steps to upgrade and increase its manpower utilization. Extensive and intensive training programs were initiated, focusing on the doctrine of combined operations in which the various branches of the IDF were integrated in a harmonious whole.
A special central training base was established to advance this doctrine. Another lesson of the war was a renewed awareness of the importance of the Infantry. Rearmament continued apace, including the purchase of ground-to-ground and ground-to-air missile systems.

Kim Kardashian Slams Lamar Odom for Visiting Brothels ... After His Khloe Diss
Kim Kardashian went straight for Lamar Odom's jugular after he dissed Khloe Kardashian ... making fun of him for visiting brothels.
Kim replied to a tweet Thursday in which Lamar was quoted from his interview on BET's "Mancave" that read ... "I knew my marriage to Khloe was over 'when she was on her second or third NBA player.'"
Safe to say, Kim wasn't having it ... she responded ... "Or second or third brothel."
Lamar has been known to visit brothels in the past, most famously when he OD'd at one in Nevada a few years back. Khloe has dated NBA star James Harden, and is currently preggo with Tristan Thompson's kid.
No love lost here, apparently.

Behold the Dawn of Citizen-as-Hacktivist
Q: How long will this attack go on for?
A: There is no time frame. We will keep going until we stop being angry.
Something really fascinating is happening right now. Thousands of people, pissed off at law firms and media conglomerates for persecuting individuals with multi-million dollar file sharing lawsuits are fighting back. They're using their combined efforts to attack and take down the websites of the media bullies and their proxies (their law firms) and they're succeeding at every turn.
The tactic being used is called DDoS, which in layman's terms is essentially hammering a website from multiple targets as to render it unable to communicate properly with legitimate visitors. The result is that the site will slow to a crawl, and in some cases go completely offline as the server buckles under the load. In one of the more advanced cases, the attackers grabbed 350MB of email from one unscrupulous law firm in the UK and published it on the Pirate Bay for all the world to see.
And who are the perpetrators of these attacks? Nobody knows. They are "Anonymous", the horde of pissed-off people, tired of being persecuted for participating in our Shared Culture. More importantly though, they've gone on the offencive against those who have gotten used to treating the public like an ATM.
This is just the beginning, but it's an exciting first step. The Internet has allowed groups to collectively organise, and to do things no individual or big city law firm could ever hope to accomplish on their own. Now that the tools are becoming more ubiquitous, it's inevitable that these sorts of actions will increase both in popularity and in scale.
Imagine being able to download a tiny program to anonymously contribute the computational power of your desktop, and the bandwidth of your internet connection to help destroy Royal Dutch Shell's communication network, or hack the RIAA's VPN. The possibilities are both awesome and terrifying, but I'm confident that the anarchy it produces will lead to a more egalitarian world.
It's interesting then, that on the evening I'd set aside to write about this phenomenon, I discovered this excellent TED talk about the differences between institutional organisations and collaborative ones. The talk is about five years old, but couldn't be more relevant:


text:
India head coach Ravi Shastri has tested positive for COVID-19 in the confirmatory RT-PCR test as well and will remain in isolation for at least the next 10 days, ruling him out of the team's fifth and final Test against England in Manchester this week.
The 59-year-old Shastri returned positive in a lateral flow test (Rapid Antigen Test) on Sunday and on Monday, his RT-PCR test report confirmed the infection. The fifth and final Test is scheduled to start on September 10.
"After testing positive in two lateral flow test, Shastri has also returned a positive result in RT-PCR test. He has mild symptoms like sore throat. He will undergo 10 days of isolation," a BCCI source informed PTI on conditions of anonymity.
Three support staff members were also isolated after being deemed his close contacts. They are bowling coach Bharath Arun, fielding coach R Sridhar and physiotherapist Nitin Patel.
The playing members had tested negative in two lateral flow tests conducted on Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
All the players and the support staff are fully vaccinated.
Shastri is likely to have got the symptoms after attending the launch of his book in the team hotel where outside guests were also allowed. Arun, Patel and Sridhar attended that function in person.

News Story
#MeToo on ice in Nevada casinos
Culinary workers at a Gaming Control Board hearing on sexual harassment in September. Photo: Jeniffer Solis
UPDATED with comment from Governor Brian Sandoval
It's not often a gaming executive takes on industry regulators, but Caesars Entertainment executive Jan Jones Blackhurst, who is chairwoman of the Nevada Resort Association, isn't mincing words about the failure of the Nevada Gaming Commission to address sexual harassment in the state's hotels and casinos.
"I'm truly disappointed that the Gaming Commission, after all the work the Chairwoman, the Board and industry have done to gain consensus, felt its good judgment should take precedent," Jones said in an interview with the Current.
"I do not believe there are any reasons for a delay and I am hopeful one of the members will put it on the agenda," Gov. Brian Sandoval said in a statement to the Current.
Nevada's gaming regulatory scheme is bifurcated. The three-member Gaming Control Board (GCB), chaired by former State Senator Becky Harris, makes recommendations and is charged with regulatory functions. The five-member Gaming Commission, chaired by Dr. Tony Alamo, establishes policy.
In March, a month after the Wall Street Journal made long-reported but largely ignored stories of Steve Wynn's alleged pattern of sexual intimidation too awkward for casino regulators to sweep under the carpet any longer, Harris, the first woman to chair the GCB, put licensees on notice.
"Sexual harassment continues to be one of the most frequent complaints raised in the workplace," the newly-appointed chairwoman wrote in a memo to all licensees.
Harris went on to invoke Regulation Five, the "morals clause" of state gaming regulation — which states any act deemed "inimical to the public health, safety morals, good order and general welfare of the people of the State of Nevada, or that would reflect or tend to reflect discredit upon the State of Nevada or the gaming industry" may be grounds for action against the licensee.
Harris included a proposed checklist of items to be completed by licensees on an annual basis, to ensure compliance.
Public workshops followed. The final version of the proposed regulation requires gaming licensees provide regulators with the procedures available to employees to report sexual harassment, the company's process for investigating, and the potential consequences to offenders.
Resorts would also have to report to regulators the number of sexual harassment complaints filed each year, and ensure workers know their options for filing complaints.
Now, eight months later and in the wake of a national uprising over sexual harassment, the five-member Nevada Gaming Commission, which includes two women appointed by Governor Brian Sandoval, has yet to take action on the Board's proposed regulation.
Gaming Commission chairman Tony Alamo stated last week for the second time that he wants to wait until the state completes its investigation of Wynn, who gave up his stake in his Las Vegas hotels. Commissioners backed Alamo.
The measure could be further delayed because Wynn is suing his former company and Massachusetts regulators to keep the contents of that state's investigation private.
"The Chairman has been consistent," said Virginia Valentine, President of the Nevada Resort Association, the trade organization representing Nevada casino hotels.
Alamo failed to return numerous calls and emails asking why regulations couldn't be amended should the Wynn investigation reveal holes in the state's rules.
The Commission's delay "seems to be a reasonable course of action if one believes that the Wynn investigation would somehow bring to light information that would have changed the recommendation of the GCB," says UNLV Political Science professor Rebecca Gill, who directs the Women's Research Institute of Nevada. "I'm not convinced this is the case, nor am I aware of any arguments put forward to support the idea that the investigation would uncover something that would materially change things."
Harris declined to say whether Alamo's argument has merit.
"I am interested in the commission dealing with them," she said of the proposed regulations.
Sources say some hotel operators contend the regulations are redundant and unnecessary, claiming workers are already protected by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Jones Blackhurst disagrees.
"The gaming industry is and always has been different," she says. "We sell sex, liquor and self-indulgence and people behave badly. Employees are not going to file suits with the EEOC because they're afraid they'd lose their jobs. This was a process that gave protection to women who were largely afraid."
From 2005 to 2015, the nation's hotel and restaurant workers filed at least 5,000 sexual harassment complaints with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the most in any industry.
Like Alamo, commissioners John Moran Jr., Philip Pro and Sandra Morgan, did not respond to requests for comment.
The Current did successfully contact Commissioner Deborah Fuetsch. "I think you had better talk with Dr. Alamo about that," Fuetsch said.
Is the Gaming Commission hoping the call for regulations will diminish with the passage of time?
Sources suggested the commission's reticence is the result of "regulatory capture," the failure of government that occurs when regulators are beholden to the special interests of the regulated, rather than to the public.
How can gaming commissioners, who are appointed, be held accountable?
"You call it out," says Gill. "At least here in Nevada we may have learned a lesson recently about how unwilling we are as a state to tolerate this. There's potential that significant public pressure would be able to move some of these folks."
"I'm suspicious about any effort to delay and what could be actionable. We know enough about the dynamics and the level of protections Wynn had," says Gill. "I'm not sure these people realize what's at stake for the people who work in this environment. People who don't experience harassment firsthand underestimate the effect it has on the workplace."
"I would commend Becky Harris and the rest of the Control Board. Given the legal constraints they are operating in I think [the proposed regulation] is a bold statement," says Gill. "But it still doesn't provide another channel where people can complain. Our legal structure is weak because the first avenue you can pursue is through the company, which has a vested interested in protecting itself from liability. It's easy to see why, even with these stricter rules you'd end up with under-reporting."

Facebook currently has 1 billion users. The forum that started as a social platform for friends to connect has evolved into a lucrative tool for many businesses and brands, and has provided a much-needed space for companies to communicate and interact with customers.
On January 15, Facebook announced an upgrade featured called Graph Search that acts as a search tool in partnership with Microsoft's Bing. Graph Search's functionalities are in beta and somewhat limited but focus on four main areas: people, photos, places and interests. Graph Search enables its members to sift through Facebook's data indexed by interests, locations and recommendations via a search bar located at the top of a Facebook profile.
Privacy & Best Practices
Searches can be very simple questions like "friends who like dogs" or "Italian restaurants in NYC liked by my friends". These searches are defined by your friends and their friends' interests and activity but are limited by users' privacy settings, which prevents certain items from being shared. According to Facebook, Graph Search will only share content that was previously made public. For businesses with a storefront, searches help generate traffic, both digital and to the actual location, based on the number of existing recommendations and check-ins. Any searches that Facebook doesn't understand or those that are irretrievable within the Graph Search's parameters will be redirected to Microsoft's Bing to browse via public websites.
Facebook users concerned about their privacy on the social media network may take some steps to further protect photos. Take five minutes to review your Facebook settings to ensure that all content being shared, including photos, is only visible to the connections you've intended to share them with. However, if you are open to embracing the possibilities of this communal online space, updating your settings won't be necessary; you can simply untag yourself from a friends' photo or change your settings so that all images of you have to be approved by you first. If you want to go even further, reporting a photo is an option, too.
Getting Facebook's Graph Search
Facebook Graph Search is in beta and users must get on a waiting list to have access and see how this tool actually works. Facebook is analyzing its user experience before making Graph Search available to all Facebook users.
Your Thoughts
Something to think about: Do you think this is another sign of Facebook's quest to become the one-stop destination on the Internet? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

The Sacramento City Council voted Tuesday to end the current emergency restrictions on watering and at the same time made long-term conservation a way of life by adopting a two-day-a-week watering schedule for 2018 and beyond.
The reality is that homeowners can water every day, if they water wisely, under the new ordinance that takes effect November 1, 2017
Water trees anytime – with a soaker hose
For instance, to ensure that trees establish deep roots, the best way to water is with a soaker hose or drip emitters around the tree. Residents can use soaker hoses and drip irrigation any day and any time under the new ordinance.
Water new landscapes anytime for first 21 days
Many residents may be interested in changing their landscape after the past few years of emergency drought restrictions. New landscapes are also allowed to be watered any day and any time for 21 days after the installation to allow plants to become established.
Drip irrigation and hand watering is OK anytime
To keep edible gardens thriving, drip irrigation and hand watering as needed is encouraged. Potted plants and edible gardens can also be watered any day and any time. If residents still find that certain areas of their lawn or landscape need extra water beyond the two-day schedule, hand watering (which includes sprinklers that attached to a hose) is allowed any day.
Water any day of the week with a smart-controller
Smart-controllers, which can measure the moisture content of your grass, can override restrictions and can run any day of the week (but should still be set to water from 7pm – 10am) and the City offers a rebate of up to $400 towards a smart-controller as well. Smart-controllers can cost from around $150 to $350 – with the average costing around $200-$250.
Learn about a cash for grass program
For residents interested in replacing grass with river-friendly landscaping, the City offers a $1/square foot rebate to help with the cost. An upcoming workshop, "Converting Thirsty Lawns" is open for city residents to attend on August 26.
No water run-off allowed
Water waste on the other hand, is still not allowed. There is no watering 48 hours after measurable rainfall (1/8") and watering should not cause water runoff from properties.
Automatic sprinklers that are not on smart controllers still need to follow the watering days and times. The new restrictions do not go into effect until November 1 – at which time the City of Sacramento will be on its winter water schedule. Until then, City residents remain on the old schedule of three days per week.
You can see in the chart below which days watering is allowed as the new ordinance rolls out. The watering time remains from 7 pm to 10 am throughout.
|CURRENT: August 16, 2017 to November 1, 2017
|Even Number Addresses
|Wednesday, Friday and Sunday
|Odd Number Addresses
|Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
|FALL/WINTER: November 1, 2017 to February 28, 2018
|Even Number Addresses
|Saturday or Sunday (pick one)
|Odd Number Addresses
|Saturday or Sunday (pick one)
|SPRING/SUMMER: March 1 to September 30
|Even Number Addresses
|Wednesday and Sunday
|Odd Number Addresses
|Tuesday and Saturday
The City of Sacramento will be providing more opportunities for residents to learn about proper tree and plant care through educational workshops and other outreach efforts.

Soco Falls is situated in Cherokee, North Carolina close to Blue Ridge Parkway. One can easily access this double waterfall from highway 19. With just a five-minute walk down a well-maintained trail, one can arrive at a scenic viewing platform. Located on the left of the viewing platform, you will find a very steep trail that leads down the creek just below the falls. Please be advised that this trail is very slippery and people are advised to proceed with caution at their own risk. In addition, visitors are warned that they should never enter the creek right above the falls.

The term "burnout" is a relatively new term, first coined in 1974 by Herbert Freudenberger, in his book, Burnout: The High Cost of High Achievement. He originally defined burnout as, "the extinction of motivation or incentive, especially where one's devotion to a cause or relationship fails to produce the desired results."
Burnout is a reaction to prolonged or chronic job stress and is characterized by three main dimensions: exhaustion, cynicism (less identification with the job), and feelings of reduced professional ability.
More simply put, if you feel exhausted, start to hate your job, and begin to feel less capable at work, you are showing signs of burnout.
Signs and Symptoms
While burnout isn't a diagnosable psychological disorder, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be taken seriously.
Here are some of the most common signs of burnout:
- Alienation from work-related activities: Individuals experiencing burnout view their jobs as increasingly stressful and frustrating. They may grow cynical about their working conditions and the people they work with. They may also emotionally distance themselves and begin to feel numb about their work.
- Physical symptoms: Chronic stress may lead to physical symptoms, like headaches and stomachaches or intestinal issues.
- Emotional exhaustion: Burnout causes people to feel drained, unable to cope, and tired. They often lack energy to get their work done.
- Reduced performance: Burnout mainly affects everyday tasks at work—or in the home when someone's main job involves caring for family members. Individuals with burnout feel negative about tasks. They have difficulty concentrating and often lack creativity.
It shares some similar symptoms of mental health conditions, such as depression. Individuals with depression experience negative feelings and thoughts about all aspects of life, not just at work. Depression symptoms may also include a loss of interest in things, feelings of hopelessness, cognitive and physical symptoms as well as thoughts of suicide.
Individuals experiencing burnout may be at a higher risk of developing depression.
Risk Factors
A high-stress job doesn't always lead to burnout. If stress is managed well, there may not be any ill-effects.
But some individuals (and those in certain occupations) are at a higher risk than others.
The 2019 National Physician Burnout, Depression, and Suicide Report found that 44 percent of physicians experience burnout.
Their heavy workloads place individuals with certain personality characteristics and lifestyle features at a higher risk of burnout.
Of course, it's not just physicians who are burning out. Workers in every industry at every level are at potential risk. According to a 2018 report by Gallup, employee burnout has five main causes:
- Unreasonable time pressure. Employees who say they have enough time to do their work are 70 percent less likely to experience high burnout. Individuals who are not able to gain more time, such as paramedics and firefighters, are at a higher risk of burnout.
- Lack of communication and support from a manager. Manager support offers a psychological buffer against stress. Employees who feel strongly supported by their manager are 70 percent less likely to experience burnout on a regular basis.
- Lack of role clarity. Only 60 percent of workers know what is expected of them. When expectations are like moving targets, employees may become exhausted simply by trying to figure out what they are supposed to be doing.
- Unmanageable workload. When a workload feels unmanageable, even the most optimistic employees will feel hopeless. Feeling overwhelmed can quickly lead to burnout.
- Unfair treatment. Employees who feel they are treated unfairly at work are 2.3 times more likely to experience a high level of burnout. Unfair treatment may include things such as favoritism, unfair compensation, and mistreatment from a co-worker.
Prevention and Treatment
Although the term "burnout" suggests it may be a permanent condition, it's reversible. An individual who is feeling burned out may need to make some changes to their work environment.
Approaching the human resource department about problems in the workplace or talking to a supervisor about the issues could be helpful if they are invested in creating a healthier work environment.
In some cases, a change in position or a new job altogether may be necessary to put an end to burnout.
It can also be helpful to develop clear strategies that help you manage your stress. Self-care strategies, like eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of exercises, and engaging in healthy sleep habits may help reduce some of the effects of a high-stress job.
A vacation may offer you some temporary relief too, but a week away from the office won't be enough to help you beat burnout. Regularly scheduled breaks from work, along with daily renewal exercises, can be key to helping you combat burnout.
If you are experiencing burnout and you're having difficulty finding your way out, or you suspect that you may also have a mental health condition such as depression, seek professional treatment.

EFT Tapping
If you aren't familiar with EFT Tapping, it stands for Emotional Freedom Technique and is part of Energy Psychology. It's highly successful in freeing stored emotions and rewiring the brain!
By tapping on Chinese Meridian Points and saying phrases it's possible to eliminate fears, phobias, and traumas. Research has shown that by doing EFT Tapping, it calms the part of the brain that signals stress hormones to be released in the body. I've been using tapping since I learned about it over 20 years ago when it was being perfected for mental health professionals. I personally knew the pioneer of tapping, Dr. Roger Callahan.

Endurance is an important quality that enables us to perform physical activities for long periods of time, whether in sport, everyday life or other challenges. In this article we will look at the importance of endurance and give simple tips on how to improve it. We will also look at the importance of a balanced diet and adequate hydration for better physical performance. Finally, we will look at the role of sugars, particularly fructose, dextrose and maltodextrin, in endurance performance.
What is endurance and why is it important?
Endurance is the body's ability to perform a specific activity for an extended period of time. It allows us to run longer distances, exercise more intensely and perform everyday tasks with more energy. Good endurance is not only important for athletes, but also for general health. It contributes to better heart health, better oxygenation of the body and a better sense of wellbeing.
Endurance boosting tips
If you want to improve your endurance, here are some practical tips to help you:
- Start gradually: It's important not to overwhelm your body when trying to improve your endurance. Start with short sessions and gradually increase the duration and intensity. Give your body time to adapt to the demands.
- Vary your training methods: Include different training methods in your workout to effectively increase your endurance. Combine aerobic exercises like running or cycling with anaerobic activities like interval training. This variety helps to improve endurance in different ways.
- Stay consistent: For long-term endurance results, consistency is key. Build regular training sessions into your routine and stick to them. Even if it gets challenging, stay committed and remember that endurance training takes time to produce its effects.
Nutrition and hydration as endurance factors
A healthy diet and proper hydration play a crucial role in endurance. Here are some key nutritional tips:
Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy. Make sure you get enough complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, oats, brown rice and quinoa. These provide long-lasting energy and support endurance.
Protein: Protein is important for muscle growth and recovery. Include protein-rich foods such as lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes and nuts in your diet. They help maintain and repair muscle, which in turn improves endurance.
Essential fats: Healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids also play an important role in endurance. You can find them in fatty fish, nuts, seeds and olive oil. Fats provide an extra source of energy and help reduce inflammation in the body.
Hydration: Staying hydrated is essential to perform at an optimal level. Drink water regularly, especially before, during and after exercise, to keep your body hydrated. For longer workouts or more intense activities
sports drinks may be beneficial to replace electrolytes and provide energy.
Sugar: A valuable contributor to endurance performance
Sugar is often seen in a negative light, but it plays an important role in providing energy for activities that require endurance. There are different types of sugars found in beverages and food, such as fructose, dextrose, and maltodextrin. These sugars can be rapidly converted into energy and help sustain your endurance1during exercise.
Improving endurance is essential for our performance and health. You can improve yours by following the right training tips, eating a balanced diet, and staying hydrated. Focus on incorporating complex carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats into your diet while keeping your body well-hydrated. Remember that endurance training takes time to produce results. Stay consistent and motivated to achieve long-lasting results.

Robert Gesink of Team Rabobank took control of the 2012 Amgen Tour of California in Saturday's climb up Mt. Baldy, and he stayed out of crashes or any other trouble to take the overall victory after stage eight in Los Angeles. The Dutchman finished with a time of 29:14:52 and one stage victory.
David Zabriskie (Garmin-Barracuda) came in second, 46 seconds behind Gesink, and his teammate Tom Danielson took third at 54 seconds out. Zabriskie's second place finish is his fourth in Tour history. He's always a bit hamstrung by the fact that his strongest stage, the time trial, comes before the last climb. He's not a strong enough climber to hold on to any gains he makes in the time trial, hence his record number of second place finishes.
Peter Sagan of Team Liquigas-Cannondale, beating Tom Boonen (Omega-Quickstep). He also took the points jersey for the race as a whole, an award he earned with style, winning five of eight stages. He was dominant, winning any stage with a sprint finish, and he'll attract a lot of attention in July at the Tour de France. Sebastian Salas of Optum Pro Cycling takes the King of the Mountain Jersey.
Stick with this storystream for updates and a recap of the tour as a whole. Going forward, Podium Cafe has you covered for cycling news and analysis.

Psychological Treatment for Those in Chronic Pain
It really "bugs me" when insurance company claim adjusters and their lawyers downgrade my client's mental health after my client has sustained not only a serious injury but has submitted to lengthy and painful surgery and is in or needs pain management treatment.
When the orthopedic surgeon or pain management doctor makes a referral to a psychologist or a psychiatrist the first thing the insurance folks do is schedule my client for an insurance company psychologist or psychiatrist to stall the treatment or to attempt to deny the referral altogether. In about 30% of these situations, the insurance company doctor agrees that my client needs the added treatment! But in 70% of the cases, the insurance psychologist/psychiatrist tries to argue that my client's treatment is pre-existing, that my client's family issues are of long-standing and that is why they need the treatment or that my client had childhood abuse issues, etc., etc., etc.
It is becoming more obvious now that chronic pain leads to serious depression. See my case history of a recent Social Security Judge addressing this issue is a great decision that just came down in late 2019.
In job injury cases, the workers' compensation insurance companies fight the recommendation for spine surgery more often than not. They can employ delay tactics of all kinds (see my FAQ on this subject titled "When does my employer or the insurance company lose the right to control my medical care?". The delay adds to the chronic pain and the increased depression. If I gently suggest my client see a psychologist during the delay, my client has no money to afford such treatment. And, psychologists do not want to wait until the litigation "dust" settles for their payment. This situation is quite common and leaves my client in a very bad predicament. Quickly, the legal/medical situation can spiral out of control. My job is to push the "legal train forward" to obtain surgery. By the time the train pulls up to the station (surgical intervention) my client is a mess psychologically. I will address other issues that are closely related to this topic in another blog soon along with case examples of what happens after treatment has finally been won through the court system.

When Tyler's Coach, a former star defensive coordinator, is seeing his career shot down by two win seasons belonging to a radical Middle Eastern Michigan State school, no one seems able to turn it around. Tyler trys to find Tyreese, his teams best receiver who is intrigued by the idea of winning more than five games this season. They hope to rescue Tyler's coach after repeated bombings in MAC west. Their only problems: Playing in the shadow of Ann Arbor, getting past the top teams in the conference, and Tyler's inability to hit anyone unless he has music playing. Then come the minor problems of the state's other football defenses.
Eagle Toten - @eagletotemblog
This season EMU is 1-3 with a comeback win against Howard of the Championship subdivision. Their FBS slate has been a difficult one with Penn State, Rutgers, and Ball State. In their most recent match up the Cards dropped 51 points on EMU, 21 of those came before the first Quarter was over.
Jeff Quinn will get his third at bat against EMU next week and the Bulls are riding as high as they have been under his tenure. Last week Buffalo gave their coach his third shot at UConn and he knocked the skin of the ball. As a result UConn fired their coach.
In Quinn's precious two match ups with Ron English the EMU coach ran the ball all over the Bulls. In 2010 Dwayne Priest ran for 192 yards on 35 carries and three touchdowns and in 2011 the eagle put up a more modest 179 but that was still way more than UB managed.
Buffalo's victory over Western Michigan last season means that the Eagles are the last team in the MAC that UB has yet to defeat. Though in fairness you have to go back to 1968 for our last win against Northern Illinois.
Several weeks ago this game looked to be a hot seat showdown between two embattled MAC coaches but Quinn's extension and PR victory over UConn means that Ron English is the only person who really needs this game (and likely a several others) to hold onto his job.
So what happens this weekend does Jeff Quinn get off the Ypsi schnide or does Ron English begin the campaign to retain his job?

"Only people with dreary existence can afford to forego privacy''.
In today's scenario, each and every one of us perhaps wants to lead a secured life, being smart enough to sustain in this ever-changing world, for which we modernize our lifestyles. So why not replace our ordinary locks to a debonair one?
Though the smart locks come up on the extravagant side, it comes up with convenience as well as security.
Here we are, with an advanced technology; thus imparting utmost security, to serve the best of what we can give, with our Smart Hotel Door Lock.
It is a proficient and discrete notion, assuring you for all your security needs, as a best hotel door lock. These are the smart keyless locks for smart people.
Almost everybody of us has stayed in a hotel for some or the other reason, be it for a vacation, some official purpose or to spend some leisure time with ourselves, family or friends etc.; yet we still come across some circumstances which somehow prove to be the hindrances in our way to be worry less of what we are here for.
Rather than spending a quality time on a vacation or focusing on the official tasks, we get stuck resolving the security concerns at times in the hotels, often running to the administration department for help whenever there is some issue having access to the room.

The Washington Huskies will look to tame an undefeated Stanford team when the Cardinal visit Husky Stadium in a Pac-12 matchup on Thursday night.
Stanford (3-0) is hitting the road for the first time in 2012, and the Huskies will be on the national stage for the first time since they were demolished 41-3 by No. 3 LSU in a Week 2 game in Baton Rouge. The Huskies biggest challenge might be containing a potent Stanford rushing attack. When the two teams squared off last season, the Cardinal ran wild on the Huskies front seven, amassing 446 yards in a 65-21 blowout. Running back Stepfan Taylor used just 10 carries to gain 138 yards on the Huskies porous run defense in last year's game. The 5'11, 215 senior back is coming off a strong game in Week 3 against the No. 13 USC Trojans, in which he rushed for 153 yards and scored two touchdowns.
The Huskies (2-1) will likely lean on running back Bishop Sankey to spark the offense. The sophomore back has carried the ball 44 times for 185 yards and three touchdowns this season, and they'll hope to get him going early against a Cardinal run defense that is allowing 149.7 yards per game.
Stanford is currently a 6.5-point favorite, according to OddsShark.
Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. PT, and the game will be televised on ESPN. The radio broadcast will be carried on KJR 950 AM.

Oil prices rose on Tuesday, supported by increased optimism regarding a preliminary US-China trade agreement. In addition, since China continues to insist on the abolition of the planned increase in import duties on December 15 and the tariffs introduced in September, investors expect Washington to make concessions in this issue, which will significantly reduce the degree of tension in the market.
OPEC's updated forecasts for oil production over the next few years also supported quotes on Tuesday: by 2024, oil production should be reduced to 32.8M barrels per day. Also, API Weekly Crude Oil Stock report for the week ending November 1 reflected sharp growth in stocks by 4.26M barrels after a decline of 0.708M barrels for the previous period. Today, investors are awaiting the publication of EIA Crude Oil Inventories report.
Support and resistance
Bollinger Bands in D1 chart show moderate growth. The price range expands from above, freeing a path to new local highs for the "bulls". MACD is growing, keeping a weak buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic, having approached its highs, reversed into a horizontal plane, indicating risks of overbought instrument in the ultra-short term.
Correctional decline is possible in the ultra-short term. Some of the existing long positions should be kept open for some time.
Resistance levels: 63.39, 64.00, 65.00.
Support levels: 62.67, 62.00, 61.16, 60.00.
To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 63.39. Take profit – 65.00. Stop loss – 62.20. Implementation time: 1-2 days.
A rebound from 63.39 as from resistance, followed by a breakdown of 62.67 or 62.30 may become a signal to new sales with the target at 60.00. Stop loss should be placed no further than 64.00.
Implementation time: 2-3 days.
EUR showed a steady decline against USD on Tuesday, updating local lows of October 16. The development of negative dynamics in the instrument was facilitated by the publication of ambiguous macroeconomic statistics, as well as the general growth of the American currency across the entire spectrum of the market. The strongest support for the dollar was provided by data on ISM Services PMI. In October, the indicator rose from 52.6 to 54.7 points, exceeding its forecast of 53.5 points. Today, the pair is trading in both directions, waiting for the appearance of new drivers at the market. Investors are focused on business activity indices in Europe for October. Separately, traders expect publication of the dynamics of Factory Orders in Germany for September.
GBP showed flat dynamics on Tuesday, ending the session with almost zero result. Moderate support for the pound was provided by Markit Services PMI in the UK. In October, the indicator rose from 49.5 to 50.0 points, which was slightly better than the forecasts of 49.7 points. In turn, BRC Retail Sales Monitor data came out worse than expected. In October, retail sales rose by 0.1% YoY after a 1.7% YoY decline in September and a forecast of 0.5% YoY growth.
AUD showed strong growth on Tuesday, updating local highs of October 31. However, the instrument failed to consolidate at new highs, and by the time the US trading session opened, it had lost most of its gains. Australian currency was supported by the results of the RBA meeting and the comments of the head of the regulator. As expected, the Reserve Bank of Australia kept its key interest rate at 0.75%. At the same time, investors hope that in the near future the regulator will not change the parameters of monetary policy significantly. RBA head Philip Lowe supported such sentiments, noting that the period of low interest rates will be quite long. Correction of the instrument was facilitated by the publication of ISM Services PMI with the opening of the American trading session. In October, the index showed growth from 52.6 to 54.7 points, which turned out to be better than market expectations of 53.5 points.
USD strengthened against JPY on Tuesday, rising to local highs of October 30. The growth of the US currency was due to the publication of a number of positive macroeconomic indicators from the United States, as well as a decrease in market demand for safe-haven currencies, as investors are still optimistic about the process of trade negotiations between the US and China. Today, the pair is trading in both directions, despite the publication of weak macroeconomic statistics from Japan. Jibun Bank Services PMI in October showed a decrease from 52.8 to 49.7 points against the forecast of 50.3 points.

And while the Facebook messages between Castro and his confessed killer-slash-former lover Renato Seabra mention nothing of his will, they do show the beginnings of their relationship in October, and one note from Seabra to Castro that reads, "As I said I think about you as well … I want to be with you! A big kiss."

Explorers on the Edge
Jad Renek
Duros Smuggler Pilot
A year ago, before the destruction of Alderaan and the Battle of Yavin, an Imperial Outpost in Jyvvus Space City (in orbit around Duro) was bombed, with a considerable loss of life, both Imperial Human and local Duros.
Evidence was found at the scene that led the Imperial investigators to family members or employees of Renek Motion Industries.
Underground rumors spread that the crime was carried out by the Deadeyes, a Corellian splinter group of the Rebel Alliance.
Furious, Jad Renek planted evidence that HE was responsible and set out in one of his family's ships to get revenge against the Deadeyes and the rest of the Corellian Rebels responsible for framing his family.
- Nadal Renek (deceased) (father)
- Jalani Renek (mother)
- Tal Renek and Lal Renek (brothers)
In his travels, Jad has come across several valuable pieces of hyperspace data which could be sold to the relevant authorities or other interested parties:

This week, NM Political Report editor Matthew Reichbach was on Here & There with Dave Marash, discussing the recent special legislative session.
The show appears on KSFR in Santa Fe and is available online for free.
Legislators met during the brief special session to address the state's budget, making sure it would be balanced, as required by the state constitution. One piece of legislation, championed by Gov. Susana Martinez and agreed to by reluctant legislators, used severance tax bond money to help cover a budget hole.
Reichbach and Marash also discussed a tax overhaul proposal that did not clear a House committee. Democrats in the committee said the complex bill wasn't introduced in time for them to analyze the bill.
A legislative analysis, which came out after the taping, showed a technical error in the bill could cost the state over $100 million.
A direct mp3 download of the show is available here.
