After her steering was disabled by a torpedo hit to the stern the Bismarck was a crippled ship, slowly turning in circles. Desperate attempts were made to free the the rudder to no avail. It gradually became more and more apparent that she was helpless, simply waiting for the arrival of a combination of overwhelmingly more powerful Royal Navy ships who would finish her off. Morale plummeted as the inevitable end drew closer. During the night of the 26th a Destroyer flotilla made successive attempts to torpedo her but she was saved by the rough seas.
It was not until morning on the 27th that the battleships HMS Rodney and HMS King George V arrived on the scene, and at 0847 opened fire. Bismarck fired back and came very close to hitting HMS Rodney but her inability to control her steering meant her fire became increasingly inaccurate. Within ten minutes she was taking regular hits from the British warships and although she continued to fire, it was no longer effective.
Subsequent interviews with survivors paint a grim picture of what it was like on the Bismarck during this bombardment:
"Bismarck" was taking severe punishment. According to one prisoner, one officer drew his revolver and shot down some of the crew when they refused to obey him. Another prisoner refers to officers committing suicide. Still another prisoner mentioned that members of the crew lost their nerve and jumped overboard long before action ceased.
It is known that almost the entire 400 men of the "flak" became casualties. No special protection had been arranged for these men during surface action, they merely being ordered to shelter behind the superstructure on the disengaged side, and, huddling together for protection, groups of forty or more men were wiped out at a time. With the ship listing to port and rolling and seas coming inboard, there were washed over the side scores of bodies, both the killed and of the wounded, whose grasp had weakened on whatever object they had been able to clutch. Hit after hit was now being registered on the upper deck, which was speedily reduced to a mass of twisted steel. Boats and lockers had been smashed to pieces, machinery and instruments twisted and broken. Ready use ammunition was exploding.
A direct hit on the mainmast caused it, as one prisoner described, "to spin round like a whirligig and come crashing down over the ship, creating fresh carnage." It hung down like a "tangle of vines." Fires had broken out amidships and aft. The forward damage control centre had been wrecked by a direct hit. Sheets of flame were issuing from the funnel. The ship's aircraft were also burning, a direct hit having struck a hangar, where a large number of men sheltering there had been killed. Smoke was pouring from holes two yards wide, which had been torn in the upper deck by shells which had penetrated below.
Shells, according to prisoners, penetrated through the upper deck and the battery deck to the main deck. The majority of prisoners deny that the armour deck itself was pierced. Only one man, an officer, has made a statement to the contrary. He alleges this deck was penetrated in the vicinity of the W/T room and suggests that this spot was hit two or three times in succession. Kapitänleutnant (Ing.) Junack has stated that one shell penetrated the port turbine room at about 0930. Another entered the boiler room – Section XIII, between 0915 and 0930, starting a fire, possibly of fuel oil. Steam pipes burst, scalding ratings.
Scenes below deck were indescribable. A direct hit in the after dressing station killed the medical staff and the wounded there. Hatches and doors in all parts of the ship had become jammed owing to distortion, resultant upon the terrific pounding the ship was receiving and also because heavy wreckage now lay across most of the hatches opening on the upper deck.
Crews in two magazines became trapped as they were unable to free exit hatches. As rescue parties worked desperately to save trapped men, fires above were raising the temperature within the magazines to a dangerously high level. Finally the probability of explosion became so acute that rescue work was abandoned. Orders were given to flood and the imprisoned men were drowned. In the forward canteen 200 men also became trapped under jammed hatches. At the very moment when a hatch to the upper deck became freed, a direct hit crashed through the deck, transforming the canteen into a charnel house. According to one prisoner, not one man of this group of 200 strong survived, and in making his own escape he was forced to pick his way between "mountains of flesh and bone."
This prisoner also described how he passed through the W/T room, where the entire staff had been blown to pieces. Fires on the battery deck had now cut off the forward half of the ship. Lights were still burning aft, but they had gone out forward, where the air was dense with smoke, fumes and the gases generated by the bursting shells. Paint was burning off the bulkheads and many men without gas masks were suffocated. Those companion ways and hatches which still remained clear had been stove in or buckled to such an extent that they were no longer wide enough for men to pass through wearing inflated life-saving jackets.
Each exit was now blocked by a struggling mass of men, whom officers could no longer control. Those below crying that they were being stifled, fought desperately with those near the exit, who still cowered under cover, afraid to run the gauntlet of fire sweeping the decks above.
One prisoner who was caught in the middle of one of these blockages stated that behind him men were crying: "I am dying, I am dying." He shouted: "If you do not want to get out yourselves, at least make room for others to pass." The only answer he got was: "We are not going out, we are not going out!" He then fought his way through, waited for the next shell to fall and then dashed across the deck into the sea. Those who ran heedlessly out on a deck were nearly all blown to pieces.
Smoke lay so thickly over the deck that a number of men, groping their way to the side, fell into the interior of the ship through shell holes. This occurred to two survivors. "Bismarck" was now slowly heeling to port and water began to pour below through ventilators and shell holes on the port side.

FRANKFURT/OSLO (Reuters) - Bayer (BAYGn.DE) has won backing from the board of Algeta ALGETA.OL, its partner for a new prostate cancer treatment, for an increased $2.9 billion offer to buy the Norwegian company.
The cash deal would boost Bayer's drugs division by giving it outright control over Xofigo, a drug the two have developed jointly since 2009 and started selling in the United States this year.
The German drugs and chemicals group regards Xofigo as one of its five most important new drugs, a group that together has joint annual sales potential of 5.5 billion euros ($7.6 billion).
Bayer's sweetened bid at 362 Norwegian crowns per share represents a 37 percent premium to Algeta's closing price on November 25, the day before its initial offer became public.
Last year, healthcare deals carried an average 36 percent premium to the target's recent share price, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Bayer's increased bid is at a 48 percent premium to Algeta's three-month volume weighted average stock price on November 25.
Bayer initially offered $2.4 billion, or 336 crowns per share.
Algeta said on Thursday that its board unanimously recommended shareholders accept Bayer's sweetened offer.
A fund that is the company's largest shareholder and senior Algeta managers, together representing 14 percent of Algeta's share capital, planned to accept, Algeta said.
Bayer's shares were up 1 percent, while Algeta's rose 1.5 percent by 5:21 a.m. ET in line with the Stoxx Europe 600 health care index .SXDP.
For Bayer, Algeta fits with Chief Executive Marijn Dekkers' strategy of driving growth by building up the pharmaceuticals division, which now overshadows chemicals in importance.
Bayer sees high market potential for Xofigo, a radioactive agent that migrates to parts of the body of prostate cancer patients with abnormal bone growth, thereby minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
Although Xofigo sales were only $17 million in the third quarter, they are expected to rise to $1 billion or more by 2018.
But some analysts, who though Bayer's initial offer might be too high, repeated those concerns on Thursday.
"The takeover price ... appears to be a bit stiff," DZ Bank analyst Peter Spengler said in a note to clients.
However, Spengler also estimated that the takeover will allow Bayer to save milestone payments and royalties of over 500 million euros.
"It strengthens Bayer's oncology business," said Helvea analyst Odile Rundquist. "We expect a positive impact on Bayer's pharma margin."
The offer, which is expected to go to Algeta shareholders in January once it has been cleared by the Oslo stock exchange, is subject to a minimum acceptance of 90 percent of Algeta's share capital, as well as approval by antitrust authorities.
The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter.

June 1, 2012
Regardless of the weather, this California icon never fails to produce gasps of wonder from those seeing it for the first time, whether basking under a clear blue sky or barely piercing the rippling layers of fog. For close-up views or distant perspectives from across the city, we've got the lowdown on where to set up your tripod, or to simply stand and stare…
For the kind of view where you can actually feel the sea spray on your face, head to Fort Point National Historic Site, a Civil War-era brick fort almost directly under the southern end of the bridge, which protected the harbour from attack during the Civil War period. You can reach the Fort via Marine Drive at Crissy Field or via Bike Route 202 through the Presidio. Free 30-minute guided tours are available.
Crissy Field itself is a former airfield located just south of the bridge in the Presidio and is one of the best places to stop and take stock if you're doing the ever-popular San Francisco to Sausalito bike ride, an easy and exhilarating day trip (rent bikes from Blazing Saddles or Bike and Roll at Fisherman's Wharf). All along the waterfront are fabulous views of the bridge, so grab a coffee from the Warming Hut or Beach Hut Cafe and find a quiet bench for a moment or two.
On the western side of the bridge below a mile of jagged cliffs, Baker Beach offers some of the very best Golden Gate views in the city. Accessible by local MUNI bus (route 29), the beach offers picnic facilities with tables and grilles and is understandably popular (and crowded) on sunny days. Bear in mind that a nudist beach occupies the northernmost end of Baker Beach.
At the edge of the Seacliff neighbourhood, China Beach is a diminutive stretch of beach only accessible by a steep, paved driveway or a 100-step natural staircase, apparently named for the Chinese fishermen who used to fish and camp here. It offers similar views of the Marin Headlands and Golden Gate as Baker Beach just to the north, but feels more off the beaten path.
Back in the Presidio, a paved, pedestrian-friendly foot trail called Lover's Lane winds its way from the Presidio Gate at the corner of Pacific and Presidio Avenues in Presidio Heights towards the Presidio's Main Post; the heart of the park which marks the site of 1776 Spanish garrison. At various points and overlooks along the mile-long trail are thrilling glimpses of the bridge, which gradually fade from view as you start to near Main Post.
There are some incredible views of the Golden Gate Bridge from the Eagle's Point trailhead of Land's End near Lincoln Park. The popular easy-to-moderate hiking trail – which is just a short walking distance from the Legion of Honor – offers many worthwhile detours including another 100-step stairway leading down to Mile Rock Beach. Those less fit or pushed for time might prefer the paved footpath near the 17th hole of the Lincoln Park Municipal Golf Course, where there are several places to stop, rest and take in the astounding views.
One of our favourites, the views across San Francisco and the Pacific Ocean from the Hamon Observation Tower at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park are simply lovely, especially in the late afternoon. The museum itself requires admission, but you can hot foot it up to the observation deck for free, until 4.30pm every day.
Coit Tower is a 210 foot narrow white column on the top of Telegraph Hill in North Beach, built at the bequest of wealthy socialite Lillie Hitchcock Coit who left funds to 'beautify' the city of San Francisco in the 1930s. It's one of the most popular viewpoints in all of the city and you'll undoubtedly be sharing the moment with many others, but it's definitely one of the finest, especially on a clear day. There's an observation deck at the top of the tower, but the views from the car park are just as great.
For a view of Golden Gate from across the water, head to the Vista Point Overlook at the northern end of the bridge or Conzelman Road which weaves its way up through the Marin Headlands. Admittedly both locations are often crawling with tourists and it can be difficult to find a place to park, but if you come early in the morning or later at night you should be able to escape the worst of the crowds and come away with some classic shots of the bridge with the city skyline behind it.
If you want to venture further afield, check out our mini road trip from San Francisco to Point Reyes – in our opinion, one of the best short drives in northern California.
Virgin Atlantic operates daily flights to San Francisco from London Heathrow.

My handle got a little lop sided from me carrying it around the house trying to find a good light source. I but the handle twice so I could glue the pieces together because I didn't like the white side of the paper showing. I added some pretty ribbon to the handle that I grabbed out of the clearance bin at Michaels.
I also made the eggs that are in the basket and I will be showing you how to make those as my 20 Days of Easter continue.
Paper used is from the French Country card stack pad by DCWV and you can find it now at Michaels for under $10.

Taiwan still stands as a beacon of hope for the rule of law and democratic development in Asia but recent government-related human rights violations have caused its rays to shine less brightly, said David Kilgour, a Canadian human rights lawyer, urging the public to closely monitor the administration in order to safeguard the country's democracy.Kilgour, the vice president of the Taiwan-Canadian Friendship Group in the Canadian parliament, a well-known international human rights lawyer and activist and a former prosecutor, was one of the invited speakers at the International Forum on the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of human Rights held in Kaohsiung City on Thursday.
Citing the example of police brutality and riots last month during the visit of Chinese envoy Chen Yunlin (陳雲林), Kilgour said many friends of Taiwan were concerned about dramatic deteriorations in the rule-of-law, human dignity and democratic practices in Taiwan in recent months. (more)

DescriptionStealing money is the aim of the driver you play in Getaway!, in an overhead-view city spread across 35 screens. The player controls a car which moves constantly in the direction it faces, unless you hit fire button for the brake.
Drive over the $ signs, special items (depending on the level they may be hearts, rings or chalices) and white vans to collect money, and return it to your hideout (in the south-east, represented by an H). You have limited gas, but can top this up by stopping at one of the gas stations. As time goes on, you will encounter roadblocks (which cause you to lose fuel more quickly) and stop signs (which take all your cash when you try to pass them).
The police don't take this lying down - their cars (red, blue and yellow) chase you, especially when you are carrying lots of money or have hit a white van. Making contact with a cop car costs one of your three vehicles and takes any money you are carrying - money you have stashed at the hideout is safe. The ultimate goal is to find the three of the special items and then the white van, which leads to an increased difficulty level - with higher police interest no matter how much money you are carrying.

*Thank you, Jennifer Estep for providing me a hard copy of Killer Frost!*
Killer Frost is the final installment in the Mythos Academy series and will go down in my book as one of the better series finales by a author who I've come to respect and follow like a camel being led to water and happily drinking from the pond to get my fill. I have to say that I am officially feeling better about reading series finales after reading Three by Kristen Simmons yesterday (02/13/2014), and now Killer Frost today (02/14/2014). There's no shenanigan's, or what if's, or characters losing their minds, and finding their loves 10 years later.
Since being told by Nike that she's destined to be the one to kill Loki, Gwen Frost has felt like she's had the whole world on her shoulders. Only a few people know Gwen's secret and it is absolutely driving her crazy that she's keeping it from her closest friends. How can a 17-year old Gypsy girl have the power to stop a GOD? What is it going to take to stop Loki and his reapers before they destroy the world? Will she finally have her revenge on Vivian, or will she end up another fated champion who died before they had a chance to live their own lives?
Gwen, with her blood thirsty sword Vic on hand, has a strong desire to do the right thing even though sometimes she questions why she was chosen by Nike in the first place. Alongside Gwen as always, are her trusty friends Logan Quinn, Daphne Cruz, Carson Callahan, Oliver Hector, Alexi Sokolov, Professor Aurora Metis, Nicamedes, Nyx, and of course, Gwen's amazing Grandmother who gets her own chance to face Loki and the Reapers.
You need to give Killer Frost a chance to get through some emotional stuff before Estep jumps into the final battle between Gwen and Loki. If you've followed this series closely, you know that Gwen has a tendency of keeping things close to her chest, and then finding out that she's not all that great at deception and keeping secrets. Her friends have come to know her little quirks and accept her as part of their inner circles and would jump through fire in order to help her.
One of the emotional issues Killer Frost has to resolve is between Logan and Gwen and the fact that Logan is still a bit on the depressing side and hasn't forgiven himself for his actions. Even though Gwen has moved on after being attacked by Logan, Logan is still a shadow of his former self but thankfully, he does get a chance to redeem himself. Thankfully, there is a whole lot of stuff going on that takes Logan and Gwen's mind off the mundane, and puts it squarely on their main nemeses; Loki, Agrona Quinn, and Vivian Holler who has been a thorn in Gwen's side for a very long time now.
I write this review knowing that I am treading a very thin line on what to put in my review, and what to leave out for fear of spoiling this last book for you. Never fear dear readers, my aim is true, and if I do travel across that red line, I am hoping that you will let me know about it gently. I don't want to discuss all the intricacies about who survived and who didn't.
I don't want to discuss the ending, or whether or not Gwen, Logan, Daphne, and Carson get a HEA. I shall let your minds wonder, and hope that you too will find Killer Frost enjoyable and a fitting conclusion to the series like I did. I will say that I was happy that Estep included Gwen's cousin Rory Forseti and the gryphons and perhaps we can maybe look forward to a spin-off featuring Rory in the future since she's got more than a few challenges to face in her own life.
On a honest note, I was truly hoping for a cross-over appearance by Gin Blanco from Estep's Elemental Assassin series. I totally wanted to see Gwen and Gin fight some reapers back to back and then enjoy some nice barbecue sandwiches, with cheese fries, and perhaps a slice of hot apple pie with ice cream on top. Yes, I know, my mind tends to wonder to weird and strange places!

WASHINGTON -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took his jihad concerning Mitt Romney's personal finances to the chamber floor Thursday, repeating his unsubstantiated claim that the wealthy Republican paid no federal income taxes for 10 years.
Questions about Romney's taxes clearly have the potential to hurt the GOP presidential candidate, with polls indicating that voters would like to see more expansive disclosure of his records.
Romney seems determined to tough out the issue, though. He has refused to release income tax returns from before 2010, and he recently dodged a question about whether the effective rate on his taxes had ever been below the 13.9% rate he paid in 2010.
"I haven't calculated that," Romney told ABC News. "I'm happy to go back and look, but my view is I've paid all the taxes required by law." Since then, his campaign has declined to answer any more questions on the topic.

Facebook for a while now and read some of her touching blog posts, so when I was approached about reviewing her book, Patchwork Reality, I was pleased to accept.
What would you do if your husband was diagnosed with schizophrenia?
For years, Pauline didn't know what was wrong. It started out slowly, with her husband, Curtis, telling her that there were good people in the community who were watching out for them and would see to it that they had what they needed. That was a comforting thought, and this didn't raise any red flags for her. However, over time her husband became paranoid, talking about how they were pawns in a game and that they could win millions of dollars if they did everything exactly right. They could only visit so many stores when they ran errands, or put so many items in their grocery cart. Whenever Pauline would ask him why this was so important, he would take her on walks so they wouldn't be overheard, and he'd explain that it was a new rule in the game.
In some ways, it was easy to pretend that everything was fine, but as his illness progressed, relationships became endangered. He refused to speak to their children because he believed they were clones sent in by their enemies. He stopped speaking to his co-workers for the same reason. He eventually lost his job because he was spending hours locked in a closet at work, communicating with a machine that would give him more information about the game. On and on it went, with Pauline feeling lost and completely helpless to know what to do.
When they finally reached a diagnosis, treatment began, and now things are much smoother. Through it all, Pauline stayed by her husband's side, and in fact, the subtitle of the book is "happily married to a schizophrenic." This is a story of overcoming a debilitating illness as a family, seeking to hold on to eternal ties even when mortal things seem to be falling apart. Her blog continues that theme by relating struggles and yet incorporating moments of love and humor.
What I liked about this book - it was really interesting to read about his symptoms from her perspective, what she noticed and how it impacted her and the family. She was totally in the dark as to what was going on, but did her best to work with him even when she didn't understand. The love this couple has for each other was very evident throughout the story.
What I wished - I felt the book ended too abruptly. We go on a journey with this family and see the situation grow worse and worse until the issue is diagnosed, and then we get a very quick epilogue and we're done. I would have liked to see them go through treatment and find the right medication and start to put things back together before the book came to a conclusion. As I read, I kept thinking, "This will be a valuable resource for those who are struggling in the same way," but at the end, I thought, "If we'd seen more of that path to recovery, it would be an even greater resource so people could have an idea of what to expect when they seek treatment."
Overall, this was a fascinating read. This author has a clear writing style that was easy to follow and relate to, and I became emotionally invested in the people involved (part of what made it hard not to follow them through treatment). It's not an easy read, but it's quick because it grabs you and holds your attention. I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you're concerned about the well-being of a loved one and are seeking more information about how to help them.

Think John Lewis is just a department store? Think again.
John Lewis sells fast, reliable broadband, too. Here's the top five things you need to know about John Lewis Broadband.
1. Plusnet provides John Lewis Broadband
John Lewis decided to venture into broadband in 2012. Since customer service is integral to the John Lewis brand, it's no wonder they chose to partner with Plusnet.
Plusnet has a strong reputation for providing excellent customer service. The provider has won the uSwitch award for Best Provider Customer Service for four years running now.
2. It comes with a powerful router
All John Lewis Broadband packages include a ZyXEL router that runs on wireless AC standards.
The ZyXEL router has four Ethernet ports, two USB ports and is capable of providing data rates up to 1.3Gbps.
3. John Lewis Broadband offers competitive speeds
John Lewis Broadband has the same standard three speeds as most providers on the Openreach network: 17Mbps ADSL, 38Mbps fibre and a faster 76Mbps fibre option.
All packages come with unlimited downloads, too, so you can make the most of these speeds.
4. And if you don't get those speeds, it's easy to cancel
As per John Lewis Broadband's terms, if you have a speed problem within the first three months of service and they can't fix it, you're able to cancel your contract early, penalty-free.
There are a few restrictions, of course: For example, the fault must have been raised within the first 70 days of service, and your speed must be at least 1Mbps below the provided estimate. But this is still more lenient than most other providers.
5. You get some nice extras
With John Lewis Broadband, you're allowed to move your broadband once per year for free.
You also get free security software and — perhaps most tempting — a free @john-lewis.com email address.

When I was young I had an elderly friend who used often to ask me to stay with him in the country. He was a religious man and he read prayers to the assembled household every morning. But he had crossed out in pencil all the passages that praised God. He said that there was nothing so vulgar as to praise people to their faces and, himself a gentleman, he could not believe that God was so ungentlemanly as to like it.

By Gregg Semanick-New Jersey's IRS Spokesperson
Whether to itemize deductions on your tax return depends on how much you spent on certain expenses last year. Money paid for medical care, mortgage interest, taxes, charitable contributions, casualty losses and miscellaneous deductions can reduce your taxes. If the total amount spent on those categories is more than the standard deduction, you can usually benefit by itemizing. Consider e-filing your tax return to ensure you do not miss out on any deductions.

There are numerous critics for the film Hail Caesar!
The film "Hail Caesar!" is a comedy film that revolves around the studio of the 1950s. This film depicts the era that sprouted from the cold war between the USA and USSR at that time. The directors have tried to abstain from adding the historical flavor to the film, but it definitely depicts the era after the World War II and before 1960. This era was that of big studios that had significant influence on the directors and actors and had to maintain their reputation of being American and protectors of the America's cultural heritage.
The film starts on a serious note but that lasts only a few seconds, and you get to know that it was a part of the big film that the studio was making. The heroine of the film is pregnant and still does not want to get married to the father of the child. This is a big headache for the studio that has to maintain its image of the follower of American culture. On the other hand, the hero of the film has been kidnapped by a group of communist writers who are not happy with the turn of events. They slowly try to win over the kidnapped actor by explaining him their theory of communism. The film sees the turn of events that are hilarious and you cannot but laugh at everything that is happening in a systematically haphazard manner.
The Coens have always made it a point to turn the worst situations into something comic and in this film too they are successful in doing that. The film can convey the message without deflecting from the story line. The film manages to bring the whole cast together to depict the funny turn of events involving the studio, the Marxists and the various other characters that add to the grace and charm to the film.

Dans ce contexte, votre commission d'enquête souhaite que l'AFLD, la FFT et le ministère mettent tout en oeuvre afin que soit conclue, dès 2014, une convention entre l'AFLD et la FIT permettant à l'Agence française de réaliser des contrôles à Roland-Garros et à Paris-Bercy qui, bien que coordonnés avec ceux de la fédération internationale, seraient programmés de façon autonome. La fédération française de tennis, forte de l'organisation de plusieurs événements majeurs du tennis mondial, devrait jouer un rôle moteur dans la conclusion de tels accords.

Things are looking up (potentially). Can anyone confirm if these outline proposals are any different to what was exercised at Roland Garros 2009?ReplyDelete
(Forgive me, but from what I can understand, testing was somewhat different during that edition of the French Open, was it not?)
In this context, your board of enquiry would like that the French Anti-Doping Agency, the French Tennis Federation (FTF), and the ministry make every effort to strike an agreement between the French Anti-Doping Agency and the ITF by 2014. That agreement would allow the French agency to conduct drug tests at Rolland-Garros and Paris-Bercy, which, even though would be coordinated with those of the ITF, would be organized independently. The FTF which organizes several major tennis events, would have to play a leading role in concluding such agreementsReplyDelete
Moderator, I think this deserve its own thread:ReplyDelete
Choice quote:
Fischer said he and associates have identified athletes from the NBA,
NCAA, professional boxing, tennis and MMA, in addition to other professional baseball players who have not yet been identified. As far as he knows, Fischer said, Bosch had no clients from the NFL or NHL.
He said the only sports entity he has heard from was Major League Baseball.Replies
Another parts are interesting in this report (http://www.senat.fr/rap/r12-782-1/r12-782-11.pdf) :ReplyDelete
- p.119 : In order to make tests, federations can delegate the organisation to private societies, such as the ITF with the Swedish private society IDTM (« International Doping Tests & Management »).
- p.142 : Target groups (groupes cibles) can have different dimensions. In tennis, it contains 140 players, including the top 50 ATP and WTA, along with the top 10 double players, and top 5 wheelchair tennis. In cycling, this group contains 1000 runners.
- p 146 : several federations appear to be very late for out of competition controls. In particular, it's the case of the ITF. [...] The majority of players did not have OOC controls in 2012- [...] Questioned on this point, Francesco Ricci Bitti said that in tennis, competition weeks are the main part of the year. [...] Stuart Miller added that players spend less time out of competition in tennis than in other sports.

Time as a factor in understanding the violence of war: The example of Africa
31-12-2003 Article, International Review of the Red Cross, No. 852, by Daniel Palmieri
Contemporary conflicts in Africa are analysed in this article from a temporal point of view. Such a perspective serves to provide elements that help explain the length of these conflicts and their deeper nature. It also casts doubt on the appropriateness of the term "ethnic war" to characterize some African conflicts and presents a hypothetical model that could be applied to other conflict zones around the world.
This article examines the violence of war from a temporal point of view, looking at various contemporary conflicts from a long-term perspective involving three kinds of time: "historical" time, "traditional" time and "mythical" time. It thus provides some elements that help explain the length of these conflicts, but also their deeper nature. In particular, it casts doubt on the appropriateness of the term "ethnic war", which has been used to characterize some of them. The hypothetical model presented here focuses on Africa, but it could also be applied to conflict zones in other parts of the world.

Following an all-out brawl between The Shield and Samoa Joe & the Raw Tag Team Champions, the trios battled each other in singles competition on Raw. Although Seth Rollins defeated Sheamus, and Roman Reigns successfully defended the Intercontinental Championship against Cesaro, Samoa Joe managed to defeat Dean Ambrose – no thanks to Jason Jordan – only intensifying the rivalry further.
Despite The Big Dog being set to defend the Intercontinental Title against Samoa Joe on Raw, The Hounds of Justice were ready for a fight, and the USS Dewey provided the perfect backdrop to a Six-Man Tag Team battle pitting The Shield against Samoa Joe and the Raw Tag Team Champions.
There was certainly no love lost between the trios, but The Shield maintained a strong wave of momentum throughout the contest. Although Samoa Joe and the Raw Tag Team Champions did their best to slow The Hounds of Justice, the relentless offense and teamwork of Rollins, Ambrose and Reigns proved to be too much, as the Intercontinental Champion picked up the victory with a ring-shaking Spear to Cesaro.
After the match, The Shield took a moment to thank the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces in attendance.

NEWTOWN, Pa. (WPVI) --Vice President Joe Biden brought the campaign trail to Bucks County Community College Friday.
Political analysts say if Hillary Clinton wins Bucks County, she'll win the state, and then the presidency.
After the rally, Action News anchor Jim Gardner talked one-on-one with the vice president.
He asked about the upcoming debate Sunday night, and what Clinton could do better.
Biden acknowledged the Democratic presidential candidate has trouble speaking from the heart.
"She does have trouble doing that, but I know her heart. For example, the closest she came in the debate because when she talks from the heart, well she's playing the woman card. When she was talking about Trump's policies, she said all those people that he laid off, and I think she used the word 'stiffed,' and he said well maybe they didn't do the job.
"She said well I watch my dad leaning over the silk screen doing draperies, guys like that, and I felt like that was a real connection. I mean I feel like people sort of got like 'Oh God, she really, she really gets it.' But you know it's really hard, it's hard for her, and you know guys like me get a pass," said Biden.

My free Log Cabin Hexi Potholder pattern is the #1 pattern in my Craftsy shop. It has been downloaded over 26,000 times so far! So I decided to take a look at it and revise the tutorial with better photos and clearer instructions. {see the expanded tutorial here}
I used this darling print from Blend Fabrics called Roxie (another one that's coming to a Hancock's near you soon).
With the newly revised tutorial, sewing this project is practically foolproof! In fact, the only complaint I hear is that people can't find the template. Just so that doesn't happen to you: the template is the hexagon shape on the first page of the .pdf instructions - just trace it or cut it out. Easy, huh?
That's what I'm, sharing today... are you going to post to our Show Off Saturday Linky Party this week?
Remember, you don't need a to have blog to add your picture and show off something you made this week. Just leave the 'link' field blank. But if you do have a blog and want to add a link to your picture, great! The most clicked link will be spotlighted here next Friday.
I would love it if you shared our linky party on your blog... here's a button to make it easy.
And don't forget to share the love and visit some of the other fun blogs in the party.

Please, no links to items for sale. Those links will be deleted. Thank you!

Sometimes, more often than it happens, we just need to get away.
Like to a gym with nets.
Without the little people.
So we can smack a volleyball around…
and reminisce about having body parts that ran faster, hit harder, jumped higher or heavens, jumped at all.
And we can high-five people our own age. And gimp to the restroom alone. We can eat a whole banana without sharing and expect to find the dried cherries still in the trailmix.
We can play.
Thank you, Jesus…we can play.
Then when the day be done, we can smile…
because, by golly, we're still standing.
And 'standing', at this moment, counts for something.

Awards gala dinner will feature remarks from Yuval Rabin, son of the
late Israeli Prime Minister
BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–American
Friends of Yitzhak Rabin (AFYR) announced today that they will
recognize Boston Mayor, Martin J. Walsh, with the final Yitzhak Rabin
Leadership and Public Service Award. Terry O'Sullivan, General President
Laborers' International Union of North America, will present the award
to Mayor Walsh at a gala dinner at the InterContinental® Boston on
October 13, 2015.
The event, which is being Co-Chaired by Peter Palandjian, CEO
of Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation, and Ed Zuker, CEO
of Chestnut Hill Realty, will include remarks by Yuval Rabin, son of
late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin; Professor Reuven Hazan, chair of the
Political Science Department at the Hebrew University; and the honorable
Yehuda Yaakov, Consul General of Israel to New England. Mayor Walsh will
be recognized for his dedication to public service, the labor movement
and further improving the economic development opportunities between
Boston and Israel. A special candle vigil and moment of silence will
also take place to honor all victims of gun violence. Yitzhak Rabin, a
victim of gun violence himself, was killed 20 years ago on November 4,
1995 at a peace rally.
"My father's lifelong mission was to make a lasting impact on his
country by providing security, reinforcing democratic values, building
bridges between communities, allowing equal opportunity through
education and creating a cadre of young leaders," explained Yuval Rabin,
son of the late Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin. "He understood that this
could only be achieved by leading by example, and Mayor Walsh does
exactly that every day. Similar to my father, he is fully committed to
his people and understands the importance of bringing individuals
together to achieve the goal of making the city he leads bigger and
better. It is an honor to recognize Mayor Walsh for his leadership and
commitment to improving economic ties between Boston and Israel."
Like Rabin, Mayor Walsh comes from a working class family. He was born
and raised in the community he leads, the Boston neighborhood of
Dorchester, and like Rabin he has devoted his personal and professional
life to public service. He is passionate about making Boston a city
where anyone can overcome their challenges and fulfill their dreams. As
a young adult, he joined Laborers Local 223 in Boston and quickly rose
to head the Building and Construction Trades Council of the Metropolitan
District. In this role, he worked with businesses and community leaders
to promote high-quality development and career opportunities for women
and minorities. Since taking office on January 6, 2014, Mayor Walsh has
mirrored the essence of Yitzhak Rabin by working to create good jobs,
great schools, safe streets and affordable homes, while building a more
responsive, representative and transparent city government. In addition,
he has invited the people of Boston to help build a blueprint for the
city's future through Imagine Boston 2030, the first citywide
planning process in half a century.
"Yitzhak Rabin was a lifelong advocate for working people, and I am
beyond humbled to accept this award in his name," expressed Mayor Walsh.
"In the years following his assassination, I visited Israel and was
deeply moved by the legacy he left behind. You could feel his presence
interwoven into the fabric of the Israeli culture – he embodied what it
means to be a leader. I am fully committed to strengthening ties between
Israel and Boston and will continue to honor Rabin's legacy."
Over the last ten years, AFYR has successfully raised the funds
necessary to complete construction of the Yitzhak Rabin Center and its
remarkable Israeli Museum in Tel Aviv while filling its classrooms with
substantive and meaningful programs. With the Rabin Center built and
flourishing, and 20th anniversary of Rabin's assassination
fast approaching, AFYR has decided to further commemorate Rabin's legacy
by establishing the Yitzhak Rabin Fellowship in Post Graduate Democracy
Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Proceeds from the gala
will go towards this fellowship, which will be dedicated in Mayor
Walsh's honor early next year.
"The American Friends of Yitzhak Rabin decided that supporting an
important educational program reflecting the late prime minister's
legacy is an important next step in fulfilling our mission," explained
Stuart Davidson, AFYR Chairman and Master of Ceremonies for the gala.
"The Yitzhak Rabin Fellowship in Post Graduate Democracy Studies will
not only help to establish a new generation of statesmen in the image of
Yitzhak Rabin but it will also make an important impact on public policy
in Israel. We are proud that funds raised during Mayor Walsh's event
will support this important cause."

Blatant Racism led to Free Press which lead to An Apology which led to More Free Press which has led to Opportunity.
Welcome to Utah.
So, a bunch of shitheads in West Valley, Utah developed a sock puppet monkey, with a black face and a "Obama" name tag. They called their company The Sock Obama, which is contracted through a larger, national company called Binkley's Toys.
This caused a gigantic outrage over the blatantly racist toy. In an "apology", Binkley's Toys owner, Rob Bishop said, "he and his staff did not see any racist connection". He then said that all production of the Obama monkey would stop immediately.
Then came all the free press covering the controversy.
Smelling money, the Utah company (headed by a David and Elizabeth Lawson) have decided to now sell the Obama monkey independently.
They said: "In the good ol' fashion spirit of entrepreneurialism, free enterprise has been censored, and TheSockObama politically plush toy has been discriminated against in the marketplace of the United States of America..."
They then said it was a "hypocritical double standard" that other companies sell George Bush Monkey dolls.
They then clarify that "we are not Mormons".
Christ, I would hope not.

Dr Liddle:
I am astonished that you would enmesh yourself in something like the game ES is evidently trying.
Please, do better than this next time.
Elizabeth Liddle
January 21, 2012 at 5:43 pm
What are you talking about, kf? tbh I'm not even sure what comment of mine you are referring to. But, whichever it is, I assure you I am not playing "games".
Can you clarify?
January 22, 2012 at 1:16 am
Dr Liddle:
Sorry, that will not wash.
You plainly enmeshed yourself in what is obviously a derail attempt on a thread that is SUPPOSED to be about the front-loading hypothesis.
You provided what seemed to be the innocent aside that I accommodated by giving a simplified explanation, making a pause in a fairly busy day for that. ES then dropped the other shoe, and you neatly referred to his comments as though nothing was out of order.
If this were a thread on something more closely related or a theme that was not significant and largely new to many of UD's readership, and a guest post by someone who is somewhat of a critic of UD and the debates/tone that too often crop up here, I would be far more tolerant.
But right now, this looks uncommonly like dumping garbage on your neighbour's newly mown lawn, when he is entertaining guests. (And, remember, I just had to call Joe and PG to order. Is this any way to treat a guest? Can you understand how I feel like the parent having to correct a child who decides to act up in front of guests? [That noise you hear is foot tapping and old Mr Leathers being limbered up to be applied to the seat of learning with vigour. Six of the best is about right . . . ])
I hope you understand why I went livid on seeing such, repeated.
The Caribbean word for this is: broughtupcy.
As in, the plain want of it. And, no less than FOUR UD regulars have been implicated.
Surely, we can do better than this!
(And a bunch of other blather)
From here:
So, gordo has resorted to an implied, if not explicit threat: "and old Mr Leathers being limbered up to be applied to the seat of learning with vigour. Six of the best is about right . . ."
If anyone were to say ANYthing like that to him you better believe that he would totally freak out and would be SCREAMING I've been threatened! I've been threatened! I've been threatened Mafioso style! He even claims that it's a threat, slander, and outing tactics when someone simply addresses him by, or mentions, his real name!
His threatening desire to dish out a beating with "old Mr. Leathers" ("good Guyana cane") is obviously not only aimed at Elizabeth Liddle, but also at the other three in the "FOUR", and I don't believe for a nanosecond that he's thinking that joe is part of that "FOUR". He's obviously referring to Peter Griffin, eigenstate, Elizabeth Liddle, and woodford. He must have forgotten about Petrushka.
And think about the fact that he has named his instrument of abuse, "old Mr. Leathers". Obviously it's a near and dear friend that he turns to on a regular basis, to enforce his tyrannical demands.
That UD let's that maniac (gordo) post there is all that anyone should need, to see that the IDiots who run and promote that site and its dishonest agenda are the lowest of the low. ALL of the IDiots are mental cases.
Keep in mind that gordo uses the 'guilt by association' crap all the time, including in that thread with his "enmesh" and other attacks on Elizabeth Liddle. Consider that when it comes to all the birds of a feather IDiots who associate with gordo on UD.
I'm sure that gordo would also like to beat me with his "old Mr. Leathers", and I really wish he would try. Man do I wish he would try. I'm also sure that if he and I were face to face that he would run away screaming in fright. "Bydand", my ass. He's a sniveling, spineless COWARD.

The factor X assay is a blood test to measure the activity of factor X — one of the substances involved in blood clotting (coagulation).
How the test is performed
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see:
How to prepare for the test
Your health care provider may ask you to stop taking certain medications.
How the test will feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, or only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the test is performed
This test may be used to find the cause of excessive bleeding (decreased blood clotting).
Normal Values
A normal value is 50 – 200% of the laboratory control or reference value.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
What abnormal results mean
Decreased factor X activity may be related to:
Amyloidosis Deficiency of factor X that is present at birth (congenital) Disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC)
- Fat
- Heparin use
Liver disease Vitamin Kdeficiency
- Warfarin (Coumadin) use
What the risks are
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another, and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
This test is most often performed on people who have bleeding problems. The risk of excessive bleeding is slightly greater than for people without bleeding problems.
Special considerations
When you bleed, the body launches a series of activities that help the blood clot. This is called the coagulation cascade. The process involves special proteins called coagulation factors (factor X is a coagulation factor).
Each factor's reaction triggers the next reaction. The final product of the coagulation cascade is the

Snowmobiler Caleb Moore, 25, Not Expected To Survive X Games Crash
The champion snowmobiler remains in critical condition with severe head and heart trauma after his 450-pound snowmobile landed on top of him during a dangerous crash at the 2013 Winter X Games.
Caleb Moore, 25, was involved in a dangerous snowmobile accident on Jan. 24 when he attempted a backflip during the Winter X Games, and his machine ended up crashing on top of him.
The professional snowmobiler was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent emergency heart surgery the next day. He remains in critical condition for severe brain and heart trauma, but his family members do not expect him to survive the accident.
"Caleb is not doing good at all," Charles Moore, Caleb's grandfather, told The Denver Post. "The prognosis is not good at all. It's almost certain he's not going to make it."
The Moore family also released a statement on Jan. 29.
"Caleb is in critical condition and is being closely monitored," the Moore family said in a statement to ABC News through their spokesperson Chelsea Lawson. "The Moores want to express their gratitude to all of Caleb's fans, friends and family for their strong support and ask for continued prayers in the coming days."
Caleb Moore's Violent Accident At The Winter X Games
Caleb was competing in the Snowmobile Freestyle finals on Jan. 24, and attempted to perform a backflip on his machine. But he came up short on the flip, and the skis on his sled slammed into the landing, and his snowmobile flipped end-over-end.
Caleb flipped over the handlebars, and his 450-pound snowmobile landed on top of him. He lay on the ground for a few minutes, but eventually got up and was escorted off the course — and was quickly rushed to Aspen Valley Hospital with a concussion. He was later flown to St. Mary's Hospital to Grand Junction, Colo. where he underwent emergency surgery. He remains in critical condition.
Such a tragedy. Our thoughts are with Caleb's family during this time.
UPDATE: Caleb died as a result of his injuries on Jan. 31.

I have two delicious, decadent, and incredible peanut butter treats that I could share with you tonight, and it was a tough choice which one to go with! They are both crazy good and totally unhealthy! Just keepin' it real here. But, come on people. I said peanut butter M&M cupcakes...as in a peanut butter cupcake stuffed with whole peanut butter M&Ms that soften on the inside during the baking process, but somehow are still able to keep their crunchy candy coating shell, that are then topped with an insanely creamy and rich chocolate frosting. How can that be healthy?! It cannot. So step off the healthy track for a minute (if you are on it; if not, even better), eat an M&M cupcake, and realize it was totally worth it! I strongly encourage you to eat these babies with a tall glass of milk. Enjoy!
Peanut Butter M&M Cupcakes
1 (18.25 ounce) Yellow or white cupcake mix
1 cup sour cream (light is fine, don't use fat free)
3 eggs
1/4 cup canola oil
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-2 cups peanut butter M&Ms
1/4 cup melted butter (no substitutions)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 pound powdered sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons evaporated or regular milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with cupcake liners and set aside. Combine all cupcake ingredients, except M&Ms into a large bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium low speed, mix for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl frequently. Turn the speed to high and beat for another 3 minutes. Gently fold in the peanut butter M&Ms. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full. Bake 18-22 minutes or until tops are golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate frosting by combining all ingredients in a medium bowl and beating them together on medium speed until the frosting is light and fluffy. Top each cupcake with frosting and, if desired, an extra M&M.

Big Dawg - Peru
Bill in Peru with Nautique dealers Jeff Smith, Whitney Smith and Henrik Laursen
Hanging out on the dock with some of the Big Dawg Peru skiers
I knew last weekend's Big Dawg ski tournament in Peru was going to be a fun event but I really had no idea it would be as great as it was. Skiers from all over South America, the US, Canada and Europe came to Lima, Peru to ski in our first ever Big Dawg event held outside the US.
Most of the skiers landed in Lima several days early (and many stayed quite a few days after the tournament) to enjoy the Peruvian summer, the warm hospitality and the incredible food. Almost everyone commented to me that the Peruvians treated them like family and several people mentioned that they were enjoying the best food they had ever eaten. Additionally, the venue for the skiing was among the world's best on a private lake near the beach about an hour south of the city. Some people stayed at the venue while others decided to stay at nearby beach houses on the Pacific Ocean. Everyone agreed it was a great experience.
The tournament, pulled by a Ski Nautique, had three rounds plus a finals head-to-head format that included eight skiers, four from Latin America and four from outside of South America. The final two skiers were David Miller from Canada and Thierry Malhomme of France. Thierry ended up winning after running 1@41-off.
The event was exciting and everyone who travelled to Peru agreed that it was a fantastic experience; there is already a lot of excitement building toward next year's event.
There were many people who helped make this event possible but a special shout out to Juan Carlos Cuglievan and Gonzalo Peschiera, both of whom worked hard to coordinate and run a flawless weekend. Thanks to Laurie Kotarsky for taking great pics and blogging from the site for all who couldn't be there to enjoy. Finally, thanks to Henrik Laursen from Miami Nautique International who, as always, stepped up and supported the event in a big way.
The Big Dawg is a great ski series and our team at Nautique is thrilled to be part of it. The series is creating buzz all over the world and we are just getting started with it. Keep watching for more exciting announcements regarding Big Dawg!
Enjoy the Nautique life!
