SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR N1ORC - AMSAT A/C #31468 *International Space Station Status Report #07-25* *11 p.m. CDT Friday, May 11, 2007* *Expedition 15 Crew* A new cargo freighter launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to the International Space Station at 10:25 p.m. CDT Friday with more than 2.5 tons of fuel, air, water and other supplies and equipment aboard. The ISS Progress 25 unpiloted cargo carrier is scheduled to dock with the station Tuesday at 12:10 a.m., bringing more than 1,050 pounds of propellant, almost 100 pounds of air, more than 925 pounds of water and 3,042 pounds of dry cargo -- a total of 5,125 pounds. NASA TV coverage of the docking will begin at 11:30 p.m. Monday The spacecraft will use the automated Kurs system to dock at the aft port of the Zvezda Service Module. Should human intervention be necessary, Expedition 15 Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin will be at the manual TORU docking system controls. On Tuesday, Yurchikhin and flight engineers Suni Williams and Oleg Kotov tested communications between the station and the docked ISS Progress 24. On Wednesday, in recognition of the Russian holiday Victory Day, marking the end of World War II, the crew performed only necessary station activities. On Thursday, Kotov worked with a breathing experiment, while Williams and Yurchikhin spent about three hours replacing a frayed steel rope on a gyroscope on the Treadmill Vibration Isolation System, or TVIS. The gyroscope is part of the system that keeps vibrations created by an exercising crew member from being transmitted to the rest of the station, where it could interfere with delicate experiments. Williams and Yurchikhin wrapped up the work on Friday. Additionally on Thursday, flight controllers tested the failed Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) 3. The test involved tilting the CMG in different directions at different speeds to determine what effect, if any, friction had on the movement. The 600-pound gyroscope itself, one of four that controls the station's orientation in space, was not spun up. It will be replaced this summer during the STS-118 mission. For more about the crew's activities and station sighting opportunities, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/station The next station status report will be issued Tuesday, May 15, after the Progress 25 docking, or earlier if events warrant. -end- ---- Sent via firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dr. Randy Rhine was a familiar face at Chadron State College when he became the institution's interim president in May of 2012. The Nebraska State College System Board of Trustees appointed him to be CSC's 11th president Jan. 15, 2013 and Chancellor Stan Carpenter invested him on April 26, 2013 as president.
Rhine's career at CSC began in 2005 when he was hired to provide leadership in reversing the institution's enrollment decline and design initiatives targeting CSC's mission of access and affordable quality education. The enrollment has grown from 2,600 in 2005 to more than 3,000 in the fall of 2012.
His first position at CSC, assistant to the president, lasted from December 2005 to May 2006, when he assumed a larger role for the institution. That's when he became CSC's vice president for enrollment management and student services. Prior to becoming interim president, his unit had grown to include a wide range of student services operations, including the CSC college relations department.
Dr. Janie Park, the former CSC president who retired in May, was familiar with Rhine's skills when she hired him. He was dean of the College of Professional Studies and Lifelong Learning at Montana State University at Billings, working under Park's supervision, for nine years prior to coming to CSC.
Rhine earned all three of his degrees from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. He was a member of that institution's Division of Continuing Education for 12 years, serving approximately four years each as director of conferences, assistant dean and associate dean.
He and his wife, Ann, reside in Chadron. They have two adult children.

Below is a letter of Marcelo H. del Pilar to his niece, Josefa Gatmaitán. It was translated from Spanish into English by del Pilar's granddaughter, Atty. Benita Marasigan vda. de Santos:
Barcelona, 13 March 1889
My dearest niece,
The vagaries of life, which Providence in its most inscrutable design has alloted to me, had taken me away from that beautiful land where I have left behind the treasures of my life without even giving me a chance to say goodbye to the people I cherish and appreciate. In this letter to you, I shall try to make amends for my precipitate flight, by sending through you this my humble message to the young women of Bulacán. I feel convinced that you have been chosen, and on you depends the regeneration, the rebirth of our town. For there is no doubt of the strength and scope of a women's influence on the family. Daughter, sister, wife, or mother — a woman offers the balm of solace that makes endurable the rigors of everyday life. More than that, she is the element that guides men to paths of virtue and courage or to the pitfalls of wrongdoing and cowardice.
In all these countries that I have now visited, I have found eloquent proof that where women are virtuous, vice is timid and dignity predominates in the life of man. But when feminine frivolity reigns, the men are taken up in immorality and the abandonment and disregard of the sacred duties of man is the popular way of life.
It is your duty to God to develop your mind and your reason by education; it is your duty to your fellowmen to share the knowledge that you possess, that they may use it to better their lives. Do not forget, dear niece, that an untutored mind is like a lighthouse without light, useless to guide the sailor to his port.
I shall recommend to you the diligent study of the Spanish language, because knowledge of Spanish will open to you the opportunity of wide reading which in turn solidifies your education. For this reason alone you should, and the other women of Bulacán with you, devote yourselves to the mastery of the Spanish idiom.
Studying Spanish is not a luxury reserved for a few and denied to the indigent and the female. To study it is not a useless activity to be passed up in indifference and carelessly exchanged for a few idle hours of gossip everyday.
You, my dear niece, and your friends who will be the mothers of tomorrow, do not throw away this treasure. Cherish knowledge not only for yourself but that posterity may have received it from you and bless you for this legacy. Surely, for this you may well sacrifice a few hours a day, the few hours you waste so carelessly in "panguingue" and idle gossip.
For this reason, I have written you from across the sea. For this I plead with all my soul — will you not do this out of love for our town of Bulacán, our unhappy town that had cradled our birth, had sheltered our youth and now shares with us the bitter and the sweet of life's memories? Look not with indifference at my plea for the weal of Bulacán is linked with yours and those of your children. Study, spread the love of learning, uplift yourselves, and you shall yet uplift your town. And I beseech you for the sake of this goal, to learn to work as one in spirit and determination. Forget and set aside petty rivalries that frequently becloud your little groups. Be ready to sacrifice your little prides in the bigger altar of common good and your noble purposes shall have a better chance of survival. Build up, my dear niece, the honor and prestige of Bulacán by spreading the love of learning among your compatriots. For the mind enlightened and elevated is better than a temple of stone; it is a living sanctuary reflecting the magnificence of its Omnipotent Creator.

This season's similarities are striking for the combatants in this season's TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl, Georgia and Nebraska. Perhaps the most notable similarity between the Bulldogs (8-4) and Cornhuskers (8-4), though, is the numerous injuries that helped prevent them from playing up to their potential.
ESPN.com's David Ching and Mitch Sherman discussed how injuries affected the teams' seasons and what might have been if not for all the physical ailments.
1. Out of all of the injuries they sustained this season, which one was the costliest and why?
Ching: There are a lot of directions you could go here, but Todd Gurley's ankle injury and ensuing three-and-a-half-game absence probably hurt the most. Gurley is one of the biggest difference-makers in the country, and Georgia's potent offense simply wasn't as good without him in the lineup -- particularly when fellow tailback Keith Marshall suffered a season-ending knee injury the week after Gurley went down against LSU. It's not a coincidence that Georgia bounced back from a two-game losing streak upon Gurley's return, nor that the Bulldogs went 4-1 down the stretch once he was back. He totaled 755 yards and 10 touchdowns in those five games.
Sherman: Taylor Martinez began this season as most indispensable Husker -- and by November, we saw why. Without the fifth-year senior, who started a school-record 43 games at quarterback, including four this season, the Nebraska offense shifted from the strength of this team to a liability. The Huskers failed to gain 400 yards in each of their final four games. Tommy Armstrong Jr. and Ron Kellogg III performed admirably, but their numbers paled in comparison to the production expected from a healthy Martinez. In good position to become the second QB in FBS history to surpass 9,000 career passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards, he suffered the fateful foot injury in Nebraska's season opener. By mid-September, his limitations were painfully apparent, stamped into the record books with losses to UCLA and Minnesota in Martinez's final two starts.
2. Which position group dealt with the most injury issues?
Sherman: Problems on the offensive line began on the opening series of the sixth game against Purdue as All-Big Ten right guard Spencer Long went down with a season-ending knee injury. Long was the leader of the line and a motivating force for the entire team as a senior captain and former walk-on turned solid NFL prospect. As soon as his linemates began to wear Long's jersey No. 61 as a tribute, the injury bug spread. First, it was left guard Jake Cotton. Tackles Jeremiah Sirles and Brent Qvale, despite staying in the lineup, dealt with injuries, too, as did center-turned-guard Cole Pensick. Long's replacement, Mike Moudy, missed the final four games. The injuries hurt most in practice, and Long's injury got the snowball rolling. Before the Purdue game, Nebraska rushed for 285 yards or more in four of five games. After Purdue, it never topped 195 on the ground.
Ching: Georgia's safeties could make a reasonable argument here, but let's go with the receivers. Malcolm Mitchell suffered perhaps the most bizarre injury of the season when he tore an ACL while leaping into the air to celebrate Gurley's 75-yard touchdown run against Clemson on the Bulldogs' second offensive possession of the fall. Justin Scott-Wesley, who essentially caught the game-winning touchdown passes in the fourth quarter against South Carolina and LSU, tore an ACL while covering a punt against Tennessee. Michael Bennett and Chris Conley also missed multiple games with midseason injuries, and junior college transfer Jonathon Rumph didn't play until Game 8 against Florida after injuring his hamstring in August. Because of the regular lineup shuffling, six Bulldogs have at least 20 catches this season.
3. What do you think this team might have accomplished if health hadn't become such a factor?
Ching: I hesitate to say Georgia would have been a BCS title contender because its defense was probably not championship caliber. But it's hard to predict what might have been with any certainty since the Bulldogs started losing key contributors in the first quarter of the first game. I'll go so far as to say the Bulldogs at least would have won a third straight SEC East title and been in the running for an at-large BCS bowl spot. With Aaron Murray, who suffered a season-ending knee injury of his own against Kentucky, at the trigger and an impressive array of skill talent, this had the potential to be the scariest offense Georgia has ever put on the field, but we never saw the full complement for even one full game.
Sherman: It's difficult to quantify in wins and losses, considering the other problems that plagued these Huskers, notably with turnovers and on special teams. Nebraska could have outscored Minnesota with a healthy Martinez and Long. And it's likely that the second-half meltdown against UCLA never would have happened if Martinez was operating at full strength. The Huskers moved the ball well in a 41-28 loss to Michigan State. Injuries weren't the issue against the Spartans; turnovers were, but freshmen committed all five. And Martinez, while turnover-prone since his freshman season, torched the Spartans a year ago. But even at 10-2, Nebraska would have missed a repeat trip to the Big Ten title game.

Colin Baker sheds weight in jungle
Veteran actor COLIN BAKER is delighted after shedding 28 pounds in weight living on meagre rations for jungle-based reality TV show I'M A CELEBRITY... GET ME OUT OF HERE!.
The former Doctor Who star spent more than two weeks in a camp in the Australian rainforest for the survival show before leaving on Monday (26Nov12) after losing a head-to-head challenge against ex-darts champion Eric Bristow.
Baker told fellow contestants, including former Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley Roberts and boxer David Haye, that his main motivation for taking part in the show was to lose weight - and his plan has worked.
He tells This Morning, "I have lost two stone. Two stone in two-and-a-half weeks. Think how much you would have to pay in one of those fancy spas for that."
Asked about his first proper meal since leaving the show, Baker adds, "I had the breakfast that all film units mercifully supply to us hard-working people - bacon, egg, sausages. Do you know, it filled me for the day! I haven't been able to eat since."
The star campmates for this year's (12) series were forced to survive for days on a paltry diet of rice and beans after Helen Flanagan flunked five meal-winning challenges in a row.

Re: Brazil
I think it is oddly interesting that all of the best US pros are going down to NE Brazil and spending months in the Taiba Lagoon. In my experience, this is one of the smallest and the least exciting lagoons.
Whenever I have passed through Taiba, there are guys that kited in this mini lagoon for 3-4 months and had never gone to any other spots.
Sounds about like Americans. Here in Baja it's the same. There's no wind in LB right now but there are spots less than an hour away that are blowing but everyone just sits in camp or the hotel and waits. No one ventures out beyond the safety of base camp. I don't get it.
Re: Brazil
Pax Americana
Re: Brazil
the thing is, these pro-guys, they are only kiting maybe, an hour each day. they're not in brazil to see the sites or explore new places to kite. they're just gonna train in consistent conditions in the same spot so they can nail their tricks. and it's not like they're doing these marathon sessions exploring the coast.
in terms of lagoons? i agree, taiba is TINY. i didn't even kite there it was so small, but i can sortof see why they stay there. It's small enough that they can dominate it and keep the beginners and land mowing folk out.
look at a lagoon like cauipe. it's nearly impossible to throw a simple backroll there, there's so many lessons being taught, beginners, cows, kids swimming, horses...
the lf vid is taiba right? i think the naish one might be uruau?

That makes sense and Taiba does have a decent nightlife in town. Yes, the LF video is Taiba.

First broadcast

Hatch Me If You Can (Japanese: タマゴをまもれ!あらしのなかでうまれたいのち! Protecting the Egg! The Life Born in a Storm!) is the 258th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on July 25, 2002 and in the United States on August 9, 2003.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Questions as to what Pokémon waits inside the egg Ash and friends have been carrying for Professor Elm are finally answered when it hatches into a Larvitar. Our heroes hardly have time to celebrate, however, as they realize that this Larvitar is unwell, its body temperature much lower than normal for any non-Ice Pokémon. Even at the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy is unable to do anything to stop this Larvitar's body temperature from dropping even further. Just as she warns Ash that Larvitar's life may be in danger, problems are compounded by a sudden and unexplained blackout. Desperately, Ash and friends set out to restore power to the Pokémon Center in time to somehow treat their ailing Larvitar.
Ash and his friends are still on the road back to New Bark Town where they can deliver the Pokémon Egg requested by Professor Elm and so Ash can register for the Johto League Silver Conference. As Ash, Misty, and Brock eat their lunch, the trio tries and guesses what kind of Pokémon will hatch from the Egg. Just as Brock suggests it's going to be a legendary Pokémon, the Egg begins to glow as if it is about to hatch, but it's only a false alarm. As Ash tries to persuade the Egg to hatch, Team Rocket spies on them from the bushes and then begins to scheme how to get it.
At that moment, the Egg begins to glow again from under Ash's shirt. When Ash pulls his shirt up, it reveals a Larvitar. Larvitar isn't moving, and Brock checks its temperature and finds that its body temperature is way too low. The trio decides it's best if they got Larvitar to a Pokémon Center, and promptly go to a nearby one.
Nurse Joy can't find anything wrong with Larvitar and calls Professor Elm who is currently meeting up with Professor Oak and Delia so they can see Ash off to the Silver Conference.
Trouble is brewing back at the Pokémon Center: not only can Nurse Joy not get a hold of Professor Elm, but a storm is brewing and Larvitar isn't getting any better. As Nurse Joy finds that Larvitar is getting worse, the power goes out. Nurse Joy goes to check on the generator but falls down one of Team Rocket pitfalls. Jessie explains to her that now they're going to kidnap Larvitar. Inside, the trio wonders where Nurse Joy is. Jessie, dressed up as Nurse Joy, and James, disguised as a surgeon, tell them that they need to take Larvitar to the hospital. Ash almost does it, but Brock stops him and tells him that it's clearly not Nurse Joy. Jessie reveals herself and James tries to take Larvitar by force, but Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, sending Team Rocket running off.
Misty and Brock go rescue Nurse Joy from the pitfall, but Nurse Joy explains that the generator's blown beyond repair. Inside, Ash uses Cyndaquil to heat Larvitar with the heat on its back.
Back in New Bark Town, Professor Elm finally gets Nurse Joy's email about Larvitar, and immediately hits the road to the Pokémon Center with Professor Oak and Delia. The professors tell them that they'll take care of Larvitar while the others eat breakfast. The professors manage to get Larvitar's body temperature up and make it conscious, but Larvitar still doesn't respond to external stimuli and it hasn't eaten, making it obvious a problem still exists. Just as everyone leaves to eat breakfast, Larvitar opens its eyes slightly.
At the table, Ash tells the others of a dream he had the night before where he saw into the eyes of Larvitar as an Egg. The Egg was tossed around in traffic and rolled under the feet of people on a sidewalk. Professor Elm says that must be the cause for its unresponsiveness. Ash asks Professor Elm if he can take Larvitar outside for a while, and Elm says it's alright to.
Outside, Ash shows Larvitar how great the world is, showing it a field, the ocean, and the sky, but as Larvitar takes it in, Team Rocket shows up and invites Larvitar to come lay on a pile of hay with them. After Ash tells them that Larvitar won't, Team Rocket dives into the hay and comes out with a vehicle with a pair of arms and a giant net on it. The arm grabs Ash, who lets go of Larvitar. Before Team Rocket can steal Larvitar, Ash tells Pikachu to get Larvitar away, but Larvitar won't move.
Pikachu tries to shock the vehicle, but it's shock proof, and Team Rocket grabs Pikachu with the other hand. With the net, they go for Larvitar, but a herd of Jumpluff gets in the way so they can't catch it. As Larvitar watches the Jumpluff bounce on the ground, it remembers bouncing through the streets as an Egg and uses Screech. With Team Rocket temporarily distracted, Ash tells Larvitar to run, but instead, it uses Hidden Power to levitate the vehicle and free Pikachu and Ash. Larvitar sends Team Rocket blasting off, and the others watch in astonishment.
Ash congratulates Larvitar and tells it there's nothing to be afraid of when it's with its friends. With Larvitar opening up to the world, the group drives back to New Bark Town and Ash registers for the Silver Conference at a Pokémon Center.
Now on the road to Mt. Silver, Elm has entrusted Ash with Larvitar so he can deliver it to the Pokémon Preserve Center there, where the Egg was originally found. The episode ends with the three sent off to Mt. Silver.

- Music from The Power of One and Pikachu's Rescue Adventure can be heard in this episode.
- The outfits that Jessie and James wear during the start of their motto are the same outfits worn by Heidi and Peter in the series Heidi, Girl of the Alps, respectively.
- In the scene where Team Rocket is chasing Ash, Pikachu, and Larvitar, Larvitar's black markings disappear.
- Larvitar uses Harden in this episode. However, Larvitar cannot legitimately learn this move in the games.
- Ash's Cyndaquil disappears after Ash's dream.
Dub edits
- Since Jessie and James are disguised as Heidi and Peter from Heidi, Girl of the Alps, the Italian dub alters Team Rocket's motto to include references to the infamous line from the Italian opening of that series which speaks about smiling mountains and goats saying hello.
- In the Latin American dub, Jessie sings the first line of the opening theme,"Abuelito Dime Tú" (which is directly translated from the original Japanese, "教えて Oshiete") before the motto, and James sings it as well, just after his last line. Also, Jessie recites "Para proteger al mundo de la Señorita Rottenmeier" and presents herself as "Heidi" instead of "Jessie", while Meowth says "¡Como Heidi, así es!".

"Come now, and let us reason together, " says the LORD. Isaiah 1:18
"The power to discriminate between right and wrong we can possess only through individual dependence upon God. Each for himself is to learn from Him through His word. Our reasoning powers were given us for use, and God desires them to be exercised. 'Come now, and let us reason together' (Isaiah 1:18), He invites us. In reliance upon Him we may have wisdom to 'refuse the evil, and choose the good.' Isaiah 7:15; James 1:5."
Education, pg 231
God invites us to engage him in meaningful discourse. Throughout the scriptures their are countless stories where finite human beings debate, dialogue, and engage the God whose wisdom and knowledge is infinite: from Moses at the burning bush, to Elijah in the cave, and Thomas with Jesus.

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the car was presented to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd earliest nameplate currently in production. Original sales forecasts forecasted less than 100,000 units for the first year. This mark was gone beyond in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered during the model year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were developed.
Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, but several changes were made at the standard opening of the brand-new model year (beginning August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some models, the introduction of generators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. When it comes to a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some unusual peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These qualities made enough distinction to warrant classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has actually withstood with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Pablo MT are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the very first time in automotive history that the Big 3 were needing to take on imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller than the very first variation however, due to the added equipment required to fulfill brand-new United States emission and security regulations, was heavier than the very first design. Performance was minimized and in the very first year only 385,993 cars were sold.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Pablo MT were available between 1974 and 1978 and readily available in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was redesigned a third time. This time it was based upon the larger Fox platform and the interior was truly huge enough for four individuals. The trunk was bigger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang worked as an Indianapolis 500 pace automobile and Ford built 10,478 commemorative replicas. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

When we think of risk management in farming, one of the first areas that comes to mind is marketing. This year, however, weather brought in a factor so significant that most of us never dreamed of the impact. Floods throughout the South and the eastern Corn Belt have derailed planting of corn, cotton and soybeans.
Those with high level revenue insurance will still likely come out "okay," but it is never the same as having a good crop at good prices. Insurance for the most part is designed to keep a producer in business — not make him money.
So, with many sleepless nights over the last month and a half, the majority of the crop is either now planted or producers have opted to collect payments on prevented planting policies. In either case, what is done is done and now we must all move forward and look at what risk management programs are most important from now until harvest.
If you collected PP, all you need to do is control your weeds the rest of the summer, spend time with the kids and grandkids and possibly do a little fishing and hunting.
If you were fortunate enough to get a crop in the ground, now you hope that Mother Nature does not "balance out," which would bring on a drought for the rest of the year so that rainfall would be "average." From now on, no one wants average rainfall for the year.
High volatility
What this has resulted in is extremely high volatility, which also plays with risk management programs in grains. Not only do farmers not want to use futures and options because of the price and volatility, but local grain elevators are strapped, too, just like in 2008. Many are against their credit limits, forcing them to pass on grain sales at a small margin to the much larger grain companies. This limits the risk management programs for many producers.
On the other hand, some will say, "Who needs a risk management program when corn is $7 per bushel, soybeans are near $14 and cotton is $1.30 per pound?" Those are the exact reasons why one needs a risk management program now! These prices in the long run will not hold.
Big bull markets are always followed by big bear markets and this one is not going to be any different. Too many times we have all looked at high prices of grain and thought, "This will go on forever." It never does!
The time to worry about price risk management is when you have an opportunity to do something about it — not after the fact when you are saying, "Why didn't I sell some?" Locking in $14 beans, $7 corn and $1.30 cotton will guarantee a good year for any producer who has a crop.
Therein lies the big question — who will have a crop?

Irving Reifer Collection
Irving Reifer Papers (1945-1950)
EXTENT: 0.25 linear feet, 1 box
Biographical and Historical Note:
Irving Reifer was born in Poland in 1924. He survived nine concentration camps and a death march during the Holocaust. Unable to return to his home, he spent several years in three displaced persons (DP) camps (Leipheim, Lechfeld and Neu-Ulm). He eventually immigrated to the United States in 1950.
Of the 8 million Europeans who had been driven from their countries during World War II, 2 million were unable to be repatriated and were placed in DP camps that were administrated by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). Among the displaced people were approximately 50,000 Jews who had been liberated from the concentration camps.
Leipheim, in the Munich District, opened in December 1945 and closed in June 1950.
Lechfeld, near Augsburg, opened in August 1947 at an airfield formerly belonging to the Messeeschmidt company. The camp closed March 31, 1950.
Neu-Ulm (Ludendorff-Kaserne, Ludendorff Barrack), in the Stuttgart District, opened in the summer of 1946 to relieve the overcrowding at Bad Aibling and the Munich Funkkaserne. The camp was evacuated in March 1951.
The Jews of the DP camps developed a culture of their own. More than 70 newspapers were published, and theaters and orchestras were established. People married and had children and waited to begin their lives outside of Europe. The need for DP camps dwindled with the establishment of the State of Israel. About two-thirds of the displaced people emigrated to Israel, while most of the rest moved to the United States. The last DP camp in Germany was closed in 1953.
Collection Overview: Scope and Content Note
The Irving Reifer Papers are housed in one archival box and are arranged in four series. Series have been designated for DP camp documents, emigration papers, photographs and miscellaneous.
The papers consist chiefly of certificates, medical records, licenses and other records depicting daily life in the DP camps at Leiphiem, Lechfeld and Neu-Ulm. Other items include tickets and newsletters from the U.S.S. Hersey, as well as a collection of 30 photographs. One of the photographs shows Reifer in a concentration camp uniform.
One miscellaneous item, a certificate of incarceration from the Flossenberg concentration camp, is included with the collection.
Series Descriptions:
Series 1: DP camp documents, 1945-1950
These papers are housed in one archival box and are arranged chronologically. This series includes medical records, driver's licenses, correspondence and other documents relating to DP camp life.
Folder 1: Leipheim camp documents, 1945-1948
Folder 2: Lechfeld camp documents, 1948-1949
Folder 3: Neu-Ulm camp documents, 1949-1950
Series 2: Emigration Papers (U.S.S. Hersey), 1950
These papers are housed in one archival box and are arranged chronologically. The series includes meal tickets and baggage check tickets, as well as ship newsletters.
Folder 4: Emigration (U.S.S. Hersey), 1950
Series 3: Photographs, 1945-
The photographs are housed in one archival box. No specific arrangement at this time. The collection includes an image of Reifer in a concentration camp uniform, taken after liberation. Other images include a wedding at the Leipheim DP camp, rallies, soccer games and photographs taken aboard the U.S.S. Hersey.
Folder 5: Photographs, 1945-
Series 4: Miscellaneous, 1949
This series includes only one item - a certificate of incarceration from the Flossenberg concentration camp.

Still solid waste after all these years.
I'm miffed that one of the most popular manufacturers of vitamins - actually the #1 doctor recommended vitamin brand, produces multivitamins that are pooped out. All garbage - a waste of money for the human body. And, probably a strong reason those studies last year showed that multivitamins don't work. I also see unused, undissolved pills as a waste water issue.
OK, I hear it! "Come on - you are going off about little vitamins with all the other important issues facing the environment this Earth Day season?" Yes, and I'll proposed a better way after stating my case. This is a prime example of one person generates very little waste, but taken together, we've got a problem - and, truly, a simple problem to solve.
If 40% of the Centrum vitamins sold are Silver, there's roughly 3/4 of a million Centrum Silver pills being pooped out per year. Or, 1.46 million pounds of solid waste between pills and bottles per year. That's a LOT of waste. Of just one sub-brand. If the under 50 tables are added, that's 4.9 million pounds of solid waste.
If you want to easily be sure your multivitamin will dissolve and will be bioavailable, please click here.
For 12 years, I've relayed information about how to choose a multivitamin. If you would like a more detailed explanation, you can contact me at email@example.com.
If you are a health professional, I'll be glad to show you my full criteria and a link to a special health professional website so you might have better recommendations for those who entrust you with their health.
Thanks for reading,
Rough calculations - pounds of solid waster.
Wyeth's Centrum-TM Vitamin Unit sales were $171 million in 2009 according to CBS Money Watch.The going price of Centrum Silver is around $21 for a large size, 220 pills. My very rough estimates will be inadequate here, but it gives an idea of the problem.
Using 40% Centrum-TM Silver and 60% Regular (Under 50 years old) split, approximately $70 million sales for Silver, $100 million for Regular.
Silver @ $70 million is around 3.33 million bottles x 220 pills = 733 million pills, undissolved, going into waste. Regular Centrum-TM: assuming around 7.6 million bottles sold, that's 1.5 billion pills down the toilet.
Note: I don't have an X-Ray to prove they don't dissolve, but I've personally testing Centrum-TM, Under 50, as one of the multitude of brands I've evaluated. The Centrum-TM brand failed the dissolution test.
If each bottle weighs about 7 oz (.44 pounds) (based on lowest shipping weights on various internet order websites) 3.33 million bottles is, rounded, 1.5 million pounds of waste.
The Under 50 Centrum-TM would very roughly be 7.7 million bottles, 1.5 billion pills, 3.4 million pounds of waste.

On the merits: fair enough, I can concede that single-payer does have the best potential for real savings, efficiency, and slowing down the growth in health care costs. The downside is the inevitable government abuse of its monopsony power and subsequent downward pressure on physician reimbursement.
On the politics: I don't want to be dismissive, but this doesn't have a chance in hell of becoming law. Even the moderate consensus-based compromise plan will be a herculean task. But it does have its use -- a bit of pressure from the left to encourage Senate leaders to keep the public plan as a viable part of the final health reform package. This is particulary nic in light of recent comments by Senator Baucus, as (sort of) reported by Time's Karen Tumulty:
The insurance companies hate [the public plan], saying it is would be unfair for them to be forced to compete with the government. Many health care experts, however, argue that this provision is crucial, as a means of holding down health care costs. [...] Conservatives oppose it as well, because they see it as a first step toward a Canadian-style single-payer system.I think it is essential that there be a public plan to force the insurance companies to compete on cost, customer service, and efficiency. And that there be private plans to force the public plan to compete on the provider side with fair payment rates. Talk like this of the public plan option as a bargaining chip does cause me some concern. So, while it may be politically DOA, it's not altogether a bad thing for a purely public plan (single payer) to be emerging on Baucus' left flank.
What Baucus had to say will not give much comfort to those who support the idea of a public plan as it is presently being proposed. He strongly suggested that its main value, at this point, is as a bargaining chip to get the health insurance companies to agree to other things that reformers want to see:
"Essentially, it's to keep it on the table to encourage the private health insurance industry to move in the direction it knows it should move toward—namely, health insurance reform, which means eliminating pre-existing conditions, guaranteed issue, modified community ratings. It's all those actions that insurance companies must take in order to provide affordable coverage. And the public option helps encourage the private companies to move in that direction, because they're worried. We might have to modify the public option to get enough votes. I hear some concerns among Republicans about the public option. The main purpose is to keep the health insurance feet to the fire."

The genesis of this literature review was a desire to construct a list of progressive conditions that most would agree are not CP, to assist nonphysician field staff reviewing and abstracting medical and education records in a community setting as part of the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network. This Network is a multisite, collaborative program funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to monitor the occurrence of developmental disabilities, including CP, in 8-year-old children across the United States.
J Reneé Flaviana Heel 3xU7IT0lW
In this exploratory effort, our goal was to identify a list of brain disorders of childhood that by nature of their underlying pathophysiology and prognosis would not meet the nonprogressive component of the definition for CP. In this report, we present the methods for creating our list of progressive brain disorders of childhood and the table of such conditions identified to date.
As our first goal, we developed criteria for progressive disorders to apply in our literature review (
TOMS® Classic Slip On Tribal Flats OXksY5kQw
). Since this activity was focused on a case definition for public health surveillance of CP, in particular for the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, we concentrated on disorders with progressive features typically occurring by 8 years of age. 8 By definition, we did not consider conditions that are purely myopathies, disorders only involving the spinal cord, or peripheral neuropathies (neuromuscular disorders), since the primary pathology in these conditions is not in the brain. Progressive features were defined primarily by loss of motor skills or milestones, although descriptions of disorders often more broadly described generalized regression, deteriorating clinical courses or neuropathological findings, or normal early development with subsequent developmental delay. If a disorder was clearly a neurodegenerative condition, we decided to list it for the purposes of exclusion from surveillance, even if some of the neurologic findings progressed and others did not. Another important feature that we considered was childhood mortality; lethality alone was not a criterion for progressiveness, since some genetic conditions known for mortality due to malformations or pathophysiologic processes outside of the central nervous system can have static or even improving neurologic manifestations.
Public Health Surveillance Criteria for Progressive Brain Disorders of Childhood
The criteria took into account what is typical or described in the majority of children with disorders in question. The rationale for this principle was our belief that when neurologic deterioration is a rare feature, typical children with certain diagnoses who might have CP-like features for reasons unrelated to the disorder should not be excluded categorically. In practice, a limitation of applying this principle was the inadequate precision of literature quantifying the occurrence of CP-like features in rare genetic conditions. The issue of the effects of available therapies on natural history also is problematic, including the spectrum of interventions from diet and medications to enzyme replacement and stem-cell transplantation. Unfortunately, with our routine surveillance procedures, without a special study it is typically difficult to ascertain variables such as treatment regimens and timing of therapies that might be important in assessing the adequacy of treatment and its relationship to the clinical outcome of a particular child.
For our list of progressive disorders, we did not review the core disorders on the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel for newborns in the United States,

since the typical outcome for these conditions has changed because treatment is routinely instituted shortly after birth, thus preventing progressive features, eg, hypotonia and intellectual disability with congenital hypothyroidism. For other conditions with more potential variability in treatment in the general population, we did not consider the effects of such therapies on natural histories, eg, hematopoietic stemcell transplantation in Krabbe disease. The rapid progress expected in the diagnosis and treatment of progressive disorders, with concomitant changes in newborn screening panels as well as clinical practice, is another caveat for the need to continuously update surveillance practices.

We expect the US dollar to continue to depreciate due to ongoing global economic growth and converging central bank policies. We have revised our 2018 US Federal Reserve rate hike call from two to three, in line with US bond pricing. While recent inflation strength has raised the possibility of four rate hikes, we believe that is unlikely without significant wage pressures. Globally, the growth trend is expected to be stronger relative to the US, meaning non-US central banks should shift away from their accommodative stances, especially the Bank of Japan (BOJ) and the European Central Bank. There may be a demand shift away from US investments as growth outperforms elsewhere. Such a development could also weigh on the US dollar.
The euro is likely to continue appreciating, in our view. We believe we are in the nascent stages of a global inflation regime shift, transitioning from a world of disinflationary risk to one that is more balanced. We believe the resulting policy changes will support a weaker US dollar and continue to view pullbacks in the euro as consolidation within a longer-term trend higher.
The USD/RMB exchange rate has appreciated since the beginning of 2018 as a result of a weaker US dollar, the conversion of US dollars into local currency by Chinese companies and macro fund trading activities. The move has been consistent with other currencies against the US dollar. Following the renewal of the $50,000 foreign exchange conversion quota in January, the continued strength of the renminbi suggests that companies and households had over-accumulated US dollars in recent years. China's policy makers have already started to loosen regulations to allow more capital outflows, and if the renminbi strengthens further, we expect more outflow channels to be opened.
The yen started out strong in 2018 due to increased expectations of tighter BOJ monetary policy, repatriation flows and general US dollar weakness. A strong yen should have a dampening effect on Japanese inflation, which will likely not be welcomed by policy officials and could make achieving the BOJ's 2% inflation target more difficult. We have already seen government officials verbally intervene to dampen further yen appreciation, and we expect those efforts to intensify. However, we remain positive on the yen over the longer term given our bearish view on the US dollar.
We continue to look for opportunities to move overweight sterling. The currency is likely to be volatile in the coming months as talks get underway concerning the future of trade and a transition deal with the European Union (EU). We believe the UK will either agree on a soft Brexit or decide to remain in the EU. With the economy unlikely to collapse regardless of the outcome, we continue to look for attractive entry points for sterling. We expect these to come about if Brexit discussions become contentious.
We are currently neutral on the Canadian dollar. After rallying sharply at the beginning of the year, it has since lost all of its gains and then some. Economic data at the end of January disappointed as the Canada Consumer Price Index remained low. That, combined with the increase in Canada's trade deficit, probably weakened the currency. In addition, oil prices have fallen from the highs in January.
With the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) holding rates steady as expected at its February meeting, we remain neutral on the Australian dollar. The RBA continues to forecast a gradual improvement in the economy, with inflation reaching its target range of 2% to 3% sometime in 2019. However, the RBA remains concerned about the lack of wage inflation and weak consumer spending and reiterated its commitment to remain patient with interest rates.
We are neutral on the Indian rupee. Going forward, we see downside risks to the currency from higher-than-expected inflation, higher oil prices and an increasing current account deficit. On the other hand, strong foreign direct investment inflows, sizable foreign exchange reserves and an improving growth outlook will likely continue to support the rupee at current levels.

The dollar value of foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures change in consumer prices. In Canada, this is calculated by Statistics Canada.
A trade deficit is an economic measure of international trade in which a country's imports exceed its exports. Therefore, a trade deficit represents an outflow of domestic currency to foreign markets.Tags: currency outlook

Today I found out about the meaning of the word "gesundheit" and other sneeze etiquette around the world.
You are probably accustomed to hearing or saying "bless you" after someone sneezes. It's simple sneeze etiquette, at least in English speaking countries. In Germany, it's polite to say "gesundheit" after someone sneezes, which more or less means "health." More specifically, it's made up of the word gesund, which means healthy, and the suffix –heit , which means –hood. Literally, "healthy-hood."
Foreign words run rampant in the English language, so it should come as no surprise that gesundheit has worked its way in alongside its German relatives Kindergarten, doppelganger, poltergeist, and noodle. It's believed that gesundheit entered the English language some time in the early 20 th century as Germans began to migrate to English-speaking countries such as the United States.
The word steadily gained in popularity from there, and in some parts of the English-speaking world these days, it's almost as popular as "bless you."
The attraction of gesundheit isn't hard to miss. The English "bless you" has inherent religious connotations. Some today simply aren't religious and so look for an alternative, while others have become more concerned about the political correctness of the words and phrases they use, and religion has always been a hot-button issue. Just as people are moving away from saying "Merry Christmas" in favour of "Happy Holidays," being able to wish someone "health" rather than "blessings" is seen as more politically correct.
Wishing someone well after they sneeze is an old practice, and it is something that can be found in (almost) every corner of the world. While the actual origin of sneeze etiquette is a mystery, the most popular and most plausible theory is that people believed a sneeze was a prelude to illness, and that wishing them health or luck with what was to come was only polite.
Another popular theory is that a sneeze is "letting the demons in" which is the origin of the "bless you" response; it was supposed to guard the sneezer and responder from the Devil. However, neither of these theories is backed by much in the way of actual evidence, and we may never know why people started responding to sneezes in the ways that they do.
Whatever the case, the sneeze appears to have caused worry in many different cultures. Along with gesundheit and "bless you," here are just a few examples of how people acknowledge another person's sneeze around the world:

School board considers audit into Kadri's use of grants
Groton — The Board of Education will meet Monday to consider a forensic audit of the use of school district grant funds in light of recent allegations that Superintendent Paul Kadri attempted to misappropriate grant money.
The allegations were revealed during an investigation into claims Kadri was abusive in his treatment of employees, particularly women. The results of the investigation led the school board to consider firing Kadri, who has been out on paid administrative leave since May.
Kadri has denied the claims, and his attorney, Gregg D. Adler, says he plans to call for a hearing to dispute the allegations. He has yet to make that request.
The concern over use of the grant funds arose during the investigator's interview with Dana Parfitt, the former school grants facilitator. Parfitt left the district in 2009.
"She reported that Mr... Kadri did not appreciate that grants were issued subject to strict statutory and regulatory requirement," the report states. "Mrs. Parfitt was concerned that Mr. Kadri was asking her to misstate the manner in which funds were to be used, or had been used."
There are no specific examples listed in the report, prepared by investigator William T. Blake, but Parfitt told Blake that she often would have to tell Kadri that the school district could not use the money for what he was suggesting.
Parfitt stopped meeting Kadri alone because she wanted a witness in the event the legality of a grant expenditure was called into question, according to the report.
The Board of Education has called a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the school administration building "for the purpose of considering and possibly taking action," on the authorization of a forensic audit.
School board Chairwoman Kirsten Hoyt said Friday the board is considering the audit to ensure that all of the money was used for its intended purpose and there was no violation of the law. If the school board decided it wanted an audit, Hoyt said they would first have to solicit proposals for the work. An estimate on the cost of the work was not available.
The school board also plans to discuss and possibly announce on Monday the hiring of a new interim superintendent. The board conducted several interviews last week in anticipation of the departure of interim superintendent Randall Collins on Friday.
Adler, in an email, said that in reading the report it does not appear there is actually an allegation of improper use of funds. He said he found it hard to believe that conversations that occurred more than three years ago "could possibly justify a forensic audit."
Hoyt, in a Sept. 10 letter notifying Kadri about his possible termination, cited "insubordination against the rules or orders of the Board, moral misconduct and other due and sufficient cause."
Kadri was hired in 2008. His current contract expires on June 30, 2014. Kadri is still being paid his $167,475 yearly salary.

The Lady Bisons softball team is not shying away from competition this season.
Tuesday night they travel to Knoxville to face the University of Tennessee, ranked No. 8 in the country. It will be the second time they have faced a ranked team this season. They played Atlantic Coast Conference opponent Georgia Tech, then ranked 18th, and split with them, winning 11-9 and losing 2-1.
Tennessee is also the second Southeastern Conference team the Lady Bisons have faced this season. They lost 6-1 to Auburn March 9 in the War Eagle Classic in Auburn, Ala.
Last week the Lady Bisons finished 2-2 with a pair of losses at Florida State, their second Atlantic Coast Conference opponent of the season, and a sweep of Atlantic Sun foe Gardner-Webb.
Coach Kristin Peck was disappointed in the way her team performed against Florida State.
"Our pitching was not where it needed to be and our hitters were a little slow in making adjustments," Peck said. "I didn't think we played great at all against Florida State."
The Lady Bisons raised their A-Sun record to 5-1, with all games having been played on the road. The Lady Bisons won the second game 9-4 with shortstop Abby Keese providing the big hit of the game with a three-run homer. They took the first game 5-2 as third baseman Kellie Sirus homered and pitcher Alaina Jacobson threw a complete game.
"We had a few miscues here and there, but we played really well at Gardner-Webb," Peck said. "When we get a lead we have to learn how to put a team away. We scored nine in our first three innings at Gardner-Webb. That game should have ended in five, but we let them back in it.
"Our offense has been doing a good job of scoring runs. But even with that we haven't had the production we needed out of a few people."
One of the most consistent performers last week was senior outfielder Sara Simons, a transfer from the University of Missouri. She had at least one hit in each of the four games and also had an RBI in each game.
"Sara is talented and very aggressively-minded," Peck said. "She really understands the game well. She had a little bit of a slow start, but she has really come on here lately."
While players like Keese, Sirus, Simons and first baseman Heather Collins have had some big hits, Peck is looking for consistency at the plate.
"We haven't been as consistent lately as what we need to be," Peck said. "We are a better team when Lauren Dortwegt gets on base. She drives our offense. But she hasn't been on base as much as she needs to be. She understands what she needs to do."
The Lady Bisons will be playing their first A-Sun games at home this weekend. Florida Gulf Coast visits Draper Diamond Friday. The first pitch is at 4 p.m. Saturday Stetson is in town for a doubleheader beginning at 1.
"It will be nice to be back at home and get settled in and really see where we are in the conference," Peck said. "We have had so many games on the road this season. Maybe that is going to help us out a little bit. I feel pretty good about how we are playing right now."
Pitching as always is a big key to the team's success. Christy Grisham remained on the sidelines as she works to return to form. Alaina Jacobson, another transfer from Missouri, has been a solid performer on the mound. Christen Campbell is improving with each appearance. Kim Jacobson rounds out the pitching trio.
"Alaina Jacobson has given us a lot of quality innings," Peck said. "She has been throwing well here lately. Christen is doing a much better job. Kim Jacobson was our go-to pitcher early on. We have to get her back to that point.
"All three have what it takes to get us all the way through the conference. We just have to get those performances out of them. We have to give them run support and play good defense behind them."

So-called "Frankenfood" — genetically-modified organisms meant for human consumption or use as animal feed — has been making headlines again. This time, the buzz is over the FDA's recent completion of their evaluation of the first genetically-engineered (GE) salmon meant for human consumption, the AquAdvantage salmon. The White House's Office of Management and Budget is now reviewing the evaluation, which puts the AquAdvantage salmon one critical step closer to finding its way into farms and onto plates. While the GE salmon would be the first genetically-modified animal approved for human consumption, it's not the first genetically-modified organism (GMO) used for food; data from 2009 indicate that 93% of soy and cotton, and 86% of corn grown in the U.S. are GMO [1]. There are a number of other common GMO crops, and GMO rice will likely become available soon.

About Moet et Chandon
About Moet et Chandon
Moet et Chandon Facts
Before you heard about them in Kanye West's songs, Moet et Chandon sparkling wines were drinks reserved for French kings, Russian tzars and Napoleon I himself. For as long as it's been around -- since 1743 to be exact -- Moet has been the drink of the rich and famous. But the truth is, this luxury brand makes just as many low-grade bottlings as it does prestige cuvees. Its production is nothing short of enormous, totaling about 26,000,000 bottles per year. How, you ask? Moet owns over 1000 hectares of vines in Champagne and employs several thousand workers. Of course, no one wants to hear about the regular stuff. It's the Dom Pèrignon we care about.
Varietals Produced at Moet et Chandon
Named for the Benedictine monk who perfected the double-fermentation for creating champagne, Dom P, as it's affectionately called, is remarkably suave, consistent and age worthy, particularly for a luxury bottling made in large quantities -- about 5,000,000 bottles per vintage made from 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. On the business side, Moet et Chandon merged with cognac producer Jas Hennessy & Co. in 1971 and then with Louis Vuitton to create the largest luxury group in the world -- Moët Hennessy.
On another note, one of the première locations in France to buy Moet et Chandon, amongst other wines, is the le bon marché (the Good Store), the most exclusive department store in Paris, where you can find a massive range of wine.
Moet et Chandon is considered to be a revolutionary champagne that outclasses many other alcoholic beverages due to popularity alone. These include popular choices such as many Canadian whiskies, India Pale Ale, Cheval Blanc, Chandon Brut Imperial, Irish whiskey, Scotch whiskey, American whiskey, Japanese whiskey and Scotch whiskey.

La Ruta de los Conquistadores serves up adventure aplenty
The race from the Pacific to the Caribbean across Costa Rica starts on Thursday
JACO, Costa Rica (VN) — When the notion of racing a mountain bike across Costa Rica was conjured up 20 years ago it was about more than riding a bike; it was about the adventure to be had between the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea.
Adventure and then some is exactly what 500 riders will have in store starting Thursday when they set out from the Pacific coast town of Jaco en route to Limon on the Caribbean three days later during the 20th running of La Ruta de los Conquistadores.
"I feel La Ruta is like the Paris Dakar (rally) on a bike," said Roman Urbina, the race founder. "It is held in a developing nation, which will not stop because of a race — no matter how important. So riders have to adapt and be careful with traffic. There are many factors riders have to overcome to make it to the finish line."
Traffic in a mountain bike race? Yep, an full-on Central American traffic at that. But Mother Nature will also be on hand to help kick butt on the 161-mile trek.
Expect thick jungle mud, climatic changes from 90 percent humidity and 90-100 degrees to subfreezing temperatures on the side of a 10,000-foot-plus volcano. Then there are the long stage distances, climbing, descending, river crossings and hike-a-bike sections.
All that, said Alex Grant, a two-time La Ruta runner-up, is what makes La Ruta different than the shredding of singletrack in the Northern Hemisphere.
"You have to look at it as an adventure, an epic point-to-point across Costa Rica," Grant said.
La Ruta is not about riding IMBA-approved mountain bike trails, he said.
"In fact," he said, "there are virtually none. It's an incredibly challenging route across the country."
And that's why defending La Ruta champ Todd Wells is returning after 2011, his first and only attempt at what's been dubbed "one of the toughest endurance races" on the planet.
"I like the fact that in La Ruta you actually ride somewhere other then just in circles. It is very different from the events I normally compete in," Wells said. "Who wouldn't want to do a race that crosses an entire country; starts at the Pacific Ocean, ends in the Caribbean and is only three days?"
It all harkens back to the roots of mountain biking, Grant said: "Exploration, where you took out a map and said, 'I am going to try to get from here to here.' Along the way you get to experience Costa Rica in a way that you never would otherwise."
And this year is no exception. When Urbina first staged La Ruta he decided that the biking adventure should also have some kind of aquatic aspect, as Spanish conquistadors crossed from ocean to sea on the country's many rivers. So the early years of La Ruta included rafting as well as riding. Over the ensuing decades the rafting was dropped and the three-day format turned to four.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary, Urbina has dropped a day and brought rafting back, a feature that likely will last just this year. Stage three will start with riders trading bikes for rafts, followed by the official start of the final stage.
"We will have a section of rafting, which will not be mandatory but highly suggested since the Pacuare River is considered one of the five greatest rafting rivers on the planet," Urbina said.
Riders not interested in hitting the rapids can shuttle to the midday race start. As for Grant, he said he isn't sure about hitting the rapids, even though it sounds like fun. But it is La Ruta, and one never knows what will occur.
"If for some reason something happens and it looks like I am well off of the podium after the first two days maybe I will see if they have room [in a raft]," Grant said. "I have heard it's one of the coolest rafting experiences anywhere."
La Ruta 2012
November 1-3
Distance: 161 miles / 259km
Elevation gain: 20,000+ feet
Stage 1, 68 miles: Herradua to Universidad para la Paz. Elevation gain for the day is approximately 12,000 feet.
Stage 2, 49 miles: Tres Rios to Turrialba. The day includes about 6,000 feet of climbing up the Irazú Volcano, where the riders will top out at about 10,000 feet. What follows is one of the gnarliest jeep-road descents to the finish.
Stage 3, 44 miles: Siqurries to Limon. The day includes the option to raft the Pacuare River. When the rafting is done, the riding will start,. The course includes La Ruta's two notorious train-trestle river crossings.
