The Machinery sector is an important part of the Engineering Industry. Machinery consists of an assembly of components, at least one of which moves, joined together for a specific application. The drive system of machinery is powered by energy other than human or animal effort.
One of the main legislations governing the harmonisation of essential health and safety requirements for machinery at EU level is the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
The directive
As it is a 'new approach' directive, it promotes harmonisation through a combination of mandatory health and safety requirements and voluntary harmonised standards. The machinery directive only applies to products that are to be placed on the EU market for the first time.
The machinery directive 2006/42/EC was published on 9 June 2006 and became applicable on 29 December 2009. It was amended by Directive 2009/127/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009, with regard to machinery for pesticide application, and by Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 February 2013 on the approval and market surveillance of agricultural and forestry vehicles, among others. Read the consolidated text of the directive.
This document provides guidance on the application of the essential health and safety requirements relating to ergonomics in section 1.1.6 of annex I to the machinery directive and the corresponding harmonised standards.

Amy M, Virginia

About Me
My life has always been a stage. I grew up in Richmond, VA in the studio world and continued my passion for dance in college, where I received a B.S. in Dance. After graduation, I auditioned for Walt Disney World and was privileged to be cast as a parade performer in the Magic Kingdom 25th Anniversary's "Remember the Magic Parade," where my respect and love for Disney truly took hold. Knowing I was making Disney magic for thousands of guests each performance was awe-inspiring. After retiring from Disney, I moved to the Northern Virginia area and performed with a local ballet company. Currently, I am a stay-at-home mom by day and by night I instruct and inspire other young dancers to follow their passion and make their dreams come true. Joining the Disney Parks Moms Panel is a dream-come-true and I am excited to spread the Disney magic once again.
About My Family
My family is my strength, pride and joy. Kylie is my 11-year-old competitive cheerleader. She is in love with Peter Pan and truly has the magic of Disney in her heart. Christian is my 8-year-old snuggle-bug, who looks stinking cute in his baseball uniform and loves every adventure ride you can get him on at Walt Disney World. They make me proud every day to be their mother. Chris is my hardworking, fabulously handsome husband of 14 years. Our family isn't perfect, but I wouldn't change our imperfections for anything. It's what make us unique and what defines us as a "true" family. Hmmmmm? Sounds like some other Disney movies I have seen. I look forward to whatever bumpy roads we will travel and conquer together.
About My Disney Experience
I always loved Walt Disney for his endless imagination and dreams that even now are still coming to light. I am blessed to not only have been a guest at Walt Disney World on several occasions, but a parade Cast Member as well during its 25th Anniversary. And wow, what a time to work there! There truly is something about each time I step onto Main Street U.S.A. in the Magic Kingdom. Special memories of trips past, or parades performed, usually pop into my mind. It is always such a nostalgic feeling. I love that I can reflect on a different time of my life — where I was, who I was with and what I was doing — each time I walk that magical street. Walt Disney World has and will continue to be my own personal time capsule of what was and is important in my life during each visit or performance. I am thankful that I now have the opportunity, on the Disney Parks Moms Panel, to help guide other guests towards their magical moments and memories that will truly last them a lifetime *o*

Purdue Survey: Farmland Purchases Expected to Continue28 June 2012
US - Many farmland investors in Indiana and surrounding Corn Belt states plan to continue buying despite some concerns that the market might not be able to sustain recent, rapid price increases, according to a Purdue University agricultural economics study.
Farmland values have risen considerably in the past decade nationwide, especially throughout the Corn Belt, including Indiana. The most productive farmland in Indiana doubled from 2004 to 2011, increasing from an average of $3,278 per acre to $6,521. From 2010 to 2011 alone, Indiana farmland values jumped by 22.8 per cent.
"The rapid increases have led some people to speculate that the farmland market is in a bubble," says Brent Gloy, professor of agricultural economics and director of Purdue's Center for Commercial Agriculture, which conducted the survey designed to gauge attitudes, beliefs and expectations of buyers. "Without knowing what investors really think of the market environment, we cannot adequately respond to that speculation. This study helps us answer questions about what's driving farmland prices."
Nearly 250 farmers, farmland investors, agricultural lenders and agribusinesses responded to the survey, conducted in late February. Nearly half of the respondents said their operation was primarily in Indiana, with most of the remaining respondents owning farmland in surrounding Corn Belt states. Their median farmland ownership was 500 acres.
Fifty-four per cent of the respondents said they believed that the farmland market is in a bubble, although farmers with larger operations and more experience were less likely to be concerned about that than those with fewer acres and less experience. Still, 74 per cent said they planned to buy additional land in the next five years.
Asked to consider an 80-acre tract of farmland with a normal production capacity of 165 bushels of corn per acre, what respondents estimated they would pay for it varied widely, with the average at $6,179 per acre.
"Some people are very positive about future values, and some have concerns," Professor Gloy said. "Their wide range of possible prices is consistent with the current uncertainty surrounding the ultimate value of the farm. This variability of opinion creates the potential for large changes in farmland prices."
Sixty-five per cent of the respondents felt that someone else would pay more for the farmland than what the respondents themselves felt it was worth. Nearly all of the respondents believed that the amount of farmland for sale was less than normal or about the same as usual.
Professor Gloy said the findings indicate that the market is "still searching for equilibrium prices" after the dramatic crop price increases over the last decade. The limited amount of farmland for sale further complicates the situation.
Market and economic conditions will determine where farmland values go in the future, but a key driver of current farmland prices is the purchasing capacity of the people willing to pay the most for land, according to Professor Gloy.
"Until the supply of land offered to the market increases, it is likely that the people at the upper end of the demand curve with more optimistic views of farmland value will continue to push prices higher," Professor Gloy said. "How long this lasts will depend upon how these individuals' expectations evolve."
Professor Gloy will present more detailed study results July 11 at the 45th annual Top Farmer Crop Workshop in West Lafayette. The two-and-a-half day workshop will include experts addressing a variety of economic, agronomic and technological topics, such as managing risk, increasing workforce productivity and developing an on-farm research program. A complete agenda is available here.

GREENVILLE, Calif. (AP) — An earthquake in far northeastern California did not injure anyone but did cause moderate damage, including to a water tank that supplies hundreds of homes with drinking water, local authorities said Friday.
GREENVILLE, Calif. (AP) — An earthquake in far northeastern California did not injure anyone but did cause moderate damage, including to a water tank that supplies hundreds of homes with drinking water, local authorities said Friday.
Plumas County Sheriff Greg Hagwood said the magnitude-5.7 quake sent items tumbling from grocery store shelves and downed chimneys when it hit at 8:47 p.m. Thursday.
The U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Center said the temblor was centered near Greenville, about 25 miles southwest of Susanville, and was felt as far away as San Francisco and in two other states. It was followed by multiple aftershocks, including a magnitude 4.9 quake that struck early Friday morning.
About 300 people were affected by the damaged water system, Hagwood said.
"Without question, it's the strongest quake I've ever felt here. It was very unsettling and it lasted long enough to create a measure of anxiety," Hagwood said. "The supermarkets and stores had a lot of things come off the shelves."
Pacific Gas & Electric said about 660 customers lost power on the southwestern edge of Lake Almanor at about 9:39 p.m. Thursday.
Susan Shephard and her husband Alan Shephard, who run the Quail Lodge at Lake Almanor near Greenville very close to the epicenter, said they were watching "The Hunger Games" on TV when the whole building started shaking.
"All of a sudden things started falling off the shelves, mirrors fell off the wall, vases fell down to the floor, everything started crashing," Shephard told the Redding Record-Searchlight. "It felt like the end of our world."
The Susanville Fire Department said it had received no reports of damage, and a Plumas County Sheriff's Office dispatcher said calls were flooding into its office but no reports of damage.
Thousands of people reported feeling the quake, as far away as the San Francisco Bay area and across the borders into Oregon and Nevada, according to the USGS website.
KCRA-TV in Sacramento reported that the Plumas County temblor was felt in downtown Sacramento, about 145 miles south of the epicenter.
People in Yuba and Sutter Counties, south of Plumas, said they felt a rolling quake, according to the Marysville Appeal-Democrat.
"People in the area felt a strong jolt, but it was not enough to generate serious damage, based on early field reports," said Rafael Abreu, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Center in Golden, Colo.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Senior guard Shaun Keaton (Albany, Ga.) made the most of his final game at the Centennial Center hitting a career-high 31 points, including five threes and 10-of-11 from the charity stripe, but he surely would have traded it all for a win as the No. 25 Georgia College & State University men's basketball team (19-5, 13-5 PBC) fell to Francis Marion University (16-9, 9-9 PBC) 67-65 tonight (Feb. 21).
In a game with nine lead changes and nine ties, the Patriots took the final advantage with 32 seconds remaining at 64-63 on an Anthony Wallen lay-in. A big block on the ensuing possession by Kevin Clark set up Houston Power for two free-throws making the difference three.
With seven seconds remaining, Power fouled Keaton in the act of a three-pointer, giving him three free throws for the tie. He missed the first, and nailed the other two, cutting the lead to one. Sam Smith missed his second free-throw giving GCSU one more shot on a three to tie, but it fell short as time expired.
Keaton's 31 points are the most by a Bobcat since Aaron Clark (2004-08) scored the same number against North Georgia Feb. 6, 2008. Keaton made five threes giving him 224 in his three-year career, passing John John Steensland (1996-2000) for the most in school history.
Senior Ken Kemp (Dublin, Ga.) now has 442 career rebounds, just three behind Georgia College Hall of Famer Julius Joseph (1997-2000) and the school's top-10.
Junior point guard Ty Rowland (Lilburn, Ga.) added his 11 points, while sophomore Josh Hurst (Athens, Ga.) tied for the game-high with 10 boards.
Crayton Jones paced the Patriots with a 16 point, 10 rebound double-double. Adding a double-double off the pine was David Turner, tallying 11 points and 10 boards. Wallen finished with 12 points.
The Bobcats had a sub-par game from the floor, hitting 19-of-54 (.352), while FMU knocked down 23-of-53 (.434). The Patriots also held a rebound advantage of 42-33.
The loss dips the Bobcats into a tie for third in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) with Armstrong Atlantic State University. Francis Marion stands fifth.
The Bobcats are back in action Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m. traveling to UNC Pembroke (5-20, 2-16 PBC).

Damascus is most likely the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. More and more private persons are setting about restoring the dilapidated Old City – the outcome in many cases are even worse. Mona Sarkis reports
Ten years ago the restaurant Beit Jabri opened in a traditional Damascene residential house, thereby ushering in a boom that is still going strong. And this is not only because its 18-meter high main hall and 23 rooms distributed on two floors offer everything from shisha to an Internet café. It is above all the love of and painstaking attention to historical detail that has impressed even archaeologists.
It was not easy to restore the structure, most of which originates from the eighteenth century – the three-winged reception hall dates from 1744 – especially not after its history, which still makes owner Raed Jabri cringe. Until 1973 his family had inhabited the house, built in 1905, but then had to give it up because it was too costly to maintain. The heirs scattered, and the house fell into decay. Finally, strangers occupied it as a warehouse.
"Slum-like chaotic warren of alleys"
A downward spiral that most of the old Damascene houses have experienced: sometimes due to the cost of maintenance, but mostly because the "nouvelle ville" built at the beginning of the twentieth century wooed inhabitants with its modern infrastructure and spacious streets. The increasingly slum-like chaotic warren of alleys in Old Damascus seemed "inferior" in comparison, and more and more members of the middle class left the Old City. Vice versa, the poor rural population started moving in.
Vacant houses as well as scattered and discordant heirs, as in the Jabri case, or low rents as well as laws that long gave landlords little power to act against renters accomplished the rest: the houses fell into decay. Hakam Roukbi knows the story quite well. A year and a half ago the architect bought the 3,700 m2 Beit Farhi house.
This historical residence, which belonged to influential Jewish banker Hayim Farhi in the eighteenth century and in which Suleiman Pasha spent the night after his military campaign against Damascus in 1810, had recently been housing approximately fifteen families – at the same time. "The whole place was like a garbage dump."
Mistakes and blunders
Starting in 2008, the building with its five inner courtyards will be presented as a first-class hotel. Whether it will also be a first-class restoration remains to be seen. Bassam al-Zreik, who, commissioned by the well-known Thlass Kheir family, has been renovating the Beit al-Quwatli with its (once) breathtaking mirror hall for three years now, is fundamentally skeptical about "restorative moods." The regulations are not strict enough," he complains, having resigned his position as deputy minister of culture after six months. For example, concrete:
Concrete is permitted in "certain amounts." But what "certain" means is uncertain. Nothing harms the traditionally lightweight building material more than the unprofessional use of heavy concrete. The walls in Beit al-Quwatli, for instance, were bulging outwards by 70 centimeters because the historical structure of clay and poplar could not hold up to the extensions tacked on by the previous inhabitant. Cement is not much different. The traditional limestone would not, if covered with cement, be able to breath and would pulverize within a few years.
Add to this the sometimes strange understanding of decoration which "embellishes" the jewel of Damascus, the Ummayyaden Mosque. Its first-century Roman walls were partially rebuilt, and its eighth-century marble and fourteenth and fifteenth-century fountains were replaced by modern "interpretations," enumerates Stefan Weber in his" Damaskus Risikoreport" (Damascus Risk Report).
In comparison, the poorly renovated boiserie panels in Damascus' famous discotheque, Marmar, in the Christian district Bab Touma, look ridiculous. The outcome of the quick investment in nostalgia, however, is deplorable: Marmar is located in a house built at the turn of the seventeenth century.
'Museumification' as a chance
It can hardly be disputed that the classical Oriental city, where everything is within walking distance, cannot hold up to the increase in private traffic. The trend toward "museumification" in the form of small oases is doubtless followed at the expense of the animated texture of everyday life that has always distinguished Old Damascus. Nevertheless, it could play a major role in saving the Old City from an insidious excess of planning. Thus it is even more important that the museumification really preserves what is concealed behind the words "most likely the oldest continually inhabited city in the world."
Such as the Beit Al-Aqqad. The house, built in several phases upon the ruins of the Roman Theater of Herod, was exemplarily restored by the Danish Institute of Research and Culture from 1996 to 2000.
Starting with the star medallions in Mamluk tradition on the façade of the northern reception hall, the fourteen-meter-high iwan (a vaulted hall or space, walled on three sides, with one end entirely open) from the fifteenth century and the inner courtyard, which received an arabesque floor of basalt and marble after the major earthquake of 1759, to the "Blue Room," which was elaborately restored in the Turkish Rococo style around 1860. The ancient arch relic of the Herod Theater can also be marveled at again in one of the offices. Vis-à-vis the computer.

Medal record
Apolo Anton Ohno (/əˈpɒloʊ
Raised by his father, Ohno began training full-time in 1996. He has been the face of short track in the United States since winning his medals at the 2002 Winter Olympics.[6][7] At the age of 14, he became the youngest U.S. national champion in 1997 and was the reigning champion from 2001–2009, winning the title a total of 12 times.[8][9] In December 1999, he became the youngest skater to win a World Cup event title, and became the first American to win a World Cup overall title in 2001, which he won again in 2003 and 2005.[9][10] He won his first overall World Championship title at the 2008 championships.
Ohno's accolades and accomplishments include being the United States Olympic Committee's Male Athlete of the Month in October 2003 and March 2008, the U.S. Speedskating's Athlete of the Year for 2003, and was a 2002, 2003 and 2006 finalist for the Sullivan Award, which recognizes the best amateur athlete in the United States.[11][12][13][14] Since gaining recognition through his sport, Ohno has worked as a motivational speaker, philanthropist, started a nutritional supplement business called 8 Zone, and in 2007, competed on and won the reality TV show Dancing with the Stars. Ohno later became host of a revival of Minute to Win It on Game Show Network and served as a commentator for NBC's coverage of the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi and the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang.

Early life[edit]
Ohno was born in Seattle, Washington, to a Japanese-born father, Yuki Ohno (大野 幸 Ōno Yuki) and a European American mother, Jerrie Lee.[15] Ohno's parents divorced when he was an infant, and he was raised in Seattle by his father.[16] He has had little contact with his biological mother and as of 2002 had expressed no interest in knowing her or his older half-brother.[15][16][17] Ohno's father, a hair stylist and owner of the salon Yuki's Diffusion, often worked 12-hour shifts, and with no extended family in the United States, found it hard to balance his career with raising a child.[17] His father chose to name his son Apolo after the Greek words apo, which means to "steer away from" and lo, which means "look out; here he comes."[9]
When Ohno was very young, his father meticulously researched childcare providers to care for his son during his long work hours.[17] As Apolo grew older, his father became concerned his son would become a latchkey kid, so Yuki got his son involved with competitive swimming and quad-speed roller skating at age 6. He later switched from the instruction of Benton Redford, a National Champion, to a team in Federal Way, Washington called Pattison's Team Extreme and became a national inline speedskating champion and record holder himself. His father used inline speed skating to fill his spare time.[8] Ohno's days were spent with morning swimming practices, followed by schooling, and finally skating practices in the afternoon.[18]
When Ohno was 12, he won the Washington state championship in the breaststroke, but preferred inline speed skating over swimming.[18] He has stated that by the time he turned 13, he attended parties with older teenagers if he did not have competitions on the weekends.[19] His father has stated that it was a struggle balancing his son's desire for independence while helping him reach his potential as a young athlete.[8]
Skating career[edit]
When he was 13 years old, Ohno became interested in short track speed skating after seeing the sport during the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer.[20] His father capitalized on this interest by driving him to short track competitions throughout the northwest United States and Canada, and Ohno won several competitions in his age divisions.[15][16] His father wanted to encourage Ohno to develop his skills and, although Ohno was underage, he got him admitted to the Lake Placid Olympic Training Center in 1996 to train full-time for short track.[16] At 13, Ohno was the youngest skater admitted to the center.[8]
At first, Ohno's commitment at Lake Placid was low until his teammates nicknamed him "Chunky", which motivated him to train harder.[15] In January, he failed to make the 1997 U.S. Junior World Team.[21] Ohno adjusted his training and made a comeback winning the 1997 U.S. Senior Championships overall title, taking a gold medal in the 1500 m, a silver in the 300 m, and came in fourth in the 500 m races.[8][22] At the age of 14, he became the youngest person to win the title.[8] Ohno then relocated to the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center to begin training with the senior level skaters, despite being only 14 years old.[22]
However, Ohno would struggle at the 1997 World Championships in Nagano, Japan, finishing 19th overall.[22] After this disappointing defeat at his first appearance at a world championships, Ohno returned home to Seattle.[22] He did not train from April to August 1997, so he gained weight and was ill-prepared for the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics.[22] As a result, he finished last in the Olympic trials and did not qualify for the Olympic team.[16] Because of his losses at the World Championships and his failure to qualify for the Olympic team, Ohno recommitted himself to the sport and returned to junior-level skating at Lake Placid, rather than at Colorado Springs.[22]
At the 1999 World Junior Championships, Ohno won first overall, placing first in the 1000 m and 1500 m, and winning silver in the 500 m.[13] He won his second senior U.S. national championship in 1999. He finished fourth overall at the 1999 World Championships and earned a silver medal in the 500 m.[13] At the 2000 U.S. Championships, Ohno was unable to defend his title and finished third overall.[13] At the 2000 World Championships, Ohno finished ninth overall.[13] In the 2000–2001 season, Ohno won his first World Cup overall title, regained his National title, and finished second overall in the World Championships, losing to Chinese skater Li Jiajun.[13][23]
2002 Winter Olympics[edit]
Qualification race controversy[edit]
In December 2001, during the U.S. Short Track Speed Skating 2002 Olympic Trials, speed skater Shani Davis was racing for a position on the short track team. Ohno and fellow skater Rusty Smith had already earned slots on the six-man team due to points earned from earlier races. In order for Davis to qualify, he had to place first in the final race—the 1000 m—by overcoming stronger skaters Ohno, Smith, and Ron Biondo.[24] Since Ohno had been dominant in the meet to this point by winning every race he entered, a win by Davis seemed to be unlikely.
Though Ohno, Smith, and Biondo were heavily favored to win the 1000 m, the race ended with Ohno finishing third, Smith second, and Davis at the top of the podium. Prior to crossing the finish line, Ohno started celebrating for Davis and Smith.[24] Davis' first-place finish earned enough points to move past Tommy O'Hare in the final point standings and to qualify for sixth place. By finishing second, Smith earned the opportunity to skate individually in the 1000 m. The victory celebration was short-lived as rumors began that Ohno and Smith, both good friends of Davis, intentionally threw the race so Davis would win.[16]
After returning to Colorado Springs, O'Hare, who did not skate in the 1000 m, filed a formal complaint. The complaint was founded on Ohno's seemingly deliberate attempt to stop Biondo from being able to pass Smith.[25] Because of that blocking move on Biondo, Smith finished in second place and Davis finished first.[25] For three days, Ohno, Smith, and Davis stood before an arbitration panel of the United States Olympic Committee.[24] During the hearing, Davis was never accused of being at fault and Smith made the statement: "Any allegation that there was a fix, conspiracy, or understanding between Apolo and me, or anyone else, to let Shani win the race is completely false. Shani is a great athlete, skated a great race, and deserves to be on the team."[25] The final verdict was that O'Hare's claims went unproven, all three were absolved of guilt, and the claim was dismissed.[26] After the dismissal, Ohno stated, "I am thrilled that the arbitration process has officially vindicated me... As I've said since the moment of these accusations, they were untrue and I did nothing wrong".[26]
At the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, Ohno emerged as the face of short-track speed skating among American fans.[27] He was a medalist in two events but there was controversy associated with the results.
After a disqualification in the 500 m race,[28] he was leading the skaters in the 1000 m race. During a turn around the final corner, Ohno, Ahn Hyun Soo, Li Jiajun, and Mathieu Turcotte all fell in a series of collisions.[29][30] The last man standing was Steven Bradbury from Australia, who was trailing behind at the time, and skated through to win the gold medal, becoming the first person from the southern hemisphere to win a gold medal at a Winter Olympics.[31] Ohno quickly got to his feet and crossed the finish line to win silver with Turcotte winning the bronze.[27] Ohno, coincidentally, was wearing skates made by Bradbury's own boot company, Revolutionary Boot Company. Bradbury had given them to Ohno, expecting for Ohno to win wearing them.[32]
In the 1500 m final race, with one lap remaining and currently in second place, Ohno attempted to make a pass on the leader Kim Dong-Sung, who then drifted to the inside and as a result, Ohno raised his arms to signal he was blocked. Kim finished first ahead of Ohno but was disqualified for impeding, awarding the gold medal to Ohno. Fourth-place finisher of the race, Fabio Carta of Italy, showed his disagreement with the disqualification decision saying it was "absurd that the Korean was disqualified".[33] China's Jiajun Li, who moved from bronze to silver, remained neutral saying: "I respect the decision of the referee, I'm not going to say any more".[33] Steven Bradbury, the 1000 m gold-medal winner, also shared his views: "Whether Dong-Sung moved across enough to be called for cross-tracking, I don't know, he obviously moved across a bit. It's the judge's interpretation. A lot of people will say it was right and a lot of people will say it's wrong. I've seen moves like that before that were not called. But I've seen them called too".[33][34]
The South Korean team immediately protested the decision of the chief official of the race, but their protests were denied by the International Skating Union (ISU).[28][34][35] The Korean team then appealed to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).[28][35] The IOC refused to see the case, stating, "This is a matter for the ISU to decide on. At this time, the IOC has received no proposal and taken no action".[28] The CAS sided with the officials of the race as "there is no provision in the short-track rule book for overturning a judgment call by the referee" after the Korean team asked to have a video replay be used to determine whether or not there was a rule violation.[28][35]
The disqualification upset South Korean supporters, many of whom directed their anger at Ohno and the International Olympic Committee. A large number of e-mails protesting the race results crashed the Olympic Committee's email server, and thousands of accusatory letters, many of which contained death threats, were sent to Ohno and the committee.[28][36][37] Ohno shared his thoughts on the Koreans' hostile reaction by saying, "I was really bothered by it. I grew up around many Asian cultures, Korean one of them. A lot of my best friends were Korean growing up. I just didn't understand. Later on I realized that was built up by certain people and that was directed at me, negative energy from other things, not even resulting around the sport, but around politics, using me to stand on the pedestal as the anti-American sentiment".[38][39] Earlier the same year, President George Bush had named North Korea as one of three members of the Axis of Evil, which had upset some South Koreans; directing their anger at Ohno was a less direct way of voicing anger against Bush's decision.[40] The controversy continued at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, held jointly in South Korea and Japan several months after the Olympics.[41] When the South Korean football (soccer) team scored a goal against the U.S. team, Korean players Ahn Jung-Hwan and Lee Chun-Soo made an exaggerated move imitating the move Ohno had made during the speed skating event to indicate the other athlete had drifted into his lane.[41]
After Salt Lake[edit]
Ohno continued to perform well in the sport after the 2002 Winter Games. He declined to participate in a 2003 World Cup short-track event in Korea for security reasons.[42] Despite the absence, he successfully defended his World Cup title during the 2003 season.[13] He continued his dominance by winning the World Cup title again in the 2004–2005 season.[43]
At the first event of the 2005 World Cup event in China, Ohno severely sprained his ankle and withdrew from the event.[44] At the second event in South Korea, an estimated 100 riot police stood guard at Incheon International Airport to prevent harm from happening to Ohno.[45] Their concern stemmed from a possible lingering negative reaction from the 2002 Olympic Games disqualification controversy.[45]
Ohno won two gold medals, as well as the overall title at the meet despite suffering from a severe stomach illness,[46] and was surprised when the Korean crowd cheered his victories, saying, "I was really happy with the crowd's reaction. It was pretty positive right from the time we landed. I was really happy it wasn't (hostile). Everything went really smooth. We were happy."[47] He was unable to defend his World Cup title from the previous three seasons, finishing third in the 2005–2006 overall standings.[48] At the 2005 World Championships, he finished second overall, winning the 1000 m and 3000 m races.[49]
2006 Winter Olympics[edit]
In the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, Ohno stumbled during a semifinal heat in the 1500 m.[50] Finishing fifth, he was unable to defend his 2002 gold medal in the event.[50] Ohno was able to win the bronze medal in the 1000 m, with Korean skaters Ahn Hyun Soo and Lee Ho-suk finishing before him.
After two false starts from other skaters, Ohno won gold in the 500 m when he took the lead with an explosive start and held it until the finish.[51] Despite criticism that he appeared to move before the start, a violation of the rules, the race start was validated by the officials.[51][52] Afterward, Ohno said, "I was in the moment at the time. I thought I timed the start just perfect. The starter had been pretty quick all day, so that's why there were so many false starts at the beginning. But that was really good for me."[51]
On the same day as his 500 m gold win, he earned a bronze medal in the men's 5000 m relay, with an inside pass on Italian skater Nicola Rodigari on the final leg to put the United States in third position.[51] Later, during the medals ceremony for the event, the winning South Korean team and the Americans embraced, followed by a group picture featuring the medalists.[53]
Post-Olympic hiatus and return[edit]
Taking a year off from competitive skating when the 2006 Winter Olympics ended, Ohno returned to win his eighth national title, placing first in every event during the U.S. Championships held from February 23–25, 2007.[54] On April 26, 2007, he was inducted into the Asian Hall of Fame, an award which honors achievements of Asian Americans.[55]
From March 9–11, 2007, he competed at the 2007 World Championships held in Milan, Italy, winning gold in the 1500 m due to the disqualification of Song Kyung-Taek, who had blocked a passing attempt made by Ohno.[56] He won bronze in the 1000 m, 3000 m, and the 5000 m relay with teammates, Jordan Malone, Travis Jayner, and Ryan Bedford. Because of his wins, he became the overall bronze medalist, behind silver medalist Charles Hamelin and Ahn Hyun Soo, who became the first man to become a five-time World Champion.[57]
On December 24, 2007, in Kearns, Utah, Ohno won his ninth national title, finishing first in the 1000 m and the 1500 m.[58] He also finished first in the 500 m, but was disqualified for crosstracking.[58] In the 3000 m, he finished second.[58] At the 2008 World Championships in Gangneung, South Korea, Ohno won his first overall title, placing first place in the 500 m, second in the 1000 m, and third place in the 3000 m.[59] He defeated South Koreans Lee Ho-Suk, silver medalist and Song Kyung-Taek who finished third in points.[59] In 2009, he won his 10th national title and qualified for the world team.[9] Unable to defend his championship, he finished fifth in the overall rankings at the 2009 World Championships in Vienna, Austria, placing second at the 1000 m, and winning gold with the 5000 m relay team.[60][61]
2010 Winter Olympics[edit]
In preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympics, Ohno lost over 9 kilograms (20 lb) from his weight at the 2002 Winter Games.[62] He went down to a 65.7 kilograms (145 lb) bodyframe and a 2.5% body fat percentage, enduring a 5-month 3-a-day training program combined with a strict nutritional program.[62][63] As a result, he could lift double the weight he could before the training.[63] With respect to his training regimen, Ohno said: "Come these Games, there's no one who's going to be fitter than me. There's just no way. Whether I can put it together on the ice or not and feel good, that's a different story. But I know, from a physical training standpoint, nobody's even close... I've never prepared like this in my life—for anything. I want to leave nothing on the table."[63]
During the U.S. Olympic Trials held September 8–12, 2009, in Marquette, Michigan, Ohno won the overall meet title and defended his national title.[4][9] He won the finals during the 500 m, 1000 m, and 1500 m races.[4][64] However, during the 1000 m time trial, Ohno came in second to J. R. Celski despite skating a personal best of 1:24.500 to Celski's personal best of 1:23.981.[65] Celski, who finished second overall and was leading in points after the first two nights of the trials, was injured during a crash in the semifinals of the 1000 m race when his right skate sliced into his left leg; he did not skate in the 1000 m finals.[66][67] Ohno had a narrow victory in the 500 m, beating out the silver place finisher Jeff Simon by only .039 of a second.[64] Ohno, Celski, Jordan Malone, Travis Jayner, and Simon Cho were the top five finishers at the trials.[66] Afterwards, Ohno said of the nominated team: "This is the strongest team we've ever had. I feel really good about how we will do in the next Olympics."[66]
In the 1500 m final, Ohno placed second after two Korean skaters, Lee Ho-Suk and Sung Si-Bak, made contact and crashed into the wall during the final turn of the final lap.[68] He was in fourth place leading into the crash, and as a result, moved into second place, earning the silver.[68] Fellow American skater J. R. Celski finished with the bronze medal. The gold medal went to South Korea's Lee Jung-Su.[68] This win allowed Ohno, with six career medals, to tie Bonnie Blair for most medals won by a U.S. Winter Olympian.[68]
Heading into the 1000 m final, Ohno had won the overall silver medal for the 1000 m during the 2009–10 World Cup by competing in three of the four competitions during the season.[69] During the finals of the 1000 m, Ohno finished in third place, making a comeback from a slip with less than three laps remaining.[70] With the bronze medal win, he became the most decorated American athlete ever at the Winter Games with seven career medals.[70] Bonnie Blair, the former record holder, said she was happy for his accomplishment, adding: "It's a great feat for him, U.S. speedskating, and the United States of America. We hope that more kids will see his accomplishments and want to try our great sport that has been so good to us and taught us so much about what it takes to be successful in life."[70]
In the 500 m final, Ohno finished the race in second place behind Canada's Charles Hamelin.[71] However, he was disqualified after impeding François-Louis Tremblay of Canada around the final turn. The silver medal went to Sung Si-Bak, with Tremblay taking the bronze.[71]
The 5000 m relay team for the United States finished with the bronze medal.[72] The team, consisting of J. R. Celski, Simon Cho, Travis Jayner, Jordan Malone, and Ohno, were in the fourth position for the majority of the race.[73] With a strong push from Celski with two laps to go, Ohno as the anchor leg was able to pass the Chinese team for third place; Canada won the gold and South Korea took silver.[73] This bronze medal was the eighth Olympic medal of his career.[73]
Using his recognition and fame from his sport, he has accumulated a list of sponsors that include McDonald's, General Electric, The Century Council, Vicks, and Coca-Cola.[74][75][76] Ohno's father, Yuki, said about sponsorships: "He's not like a professional athlete who has a multi-million-dollar contract with a team... He has to have sponsorships to pay the bills".[77] Capitalizing on Ohno's fame, Alaska Airlines were his primary sponsor for the 2010 Winter Games and designed a Boeing 737–800 jet with his image on the side.[77][78]
He was critical of the leaders of the U.S. Speedskating Organization when a donation of $250,000 was raised by viewers of the Comedy Central show The Colbert Report for the organization after their largest commercial sponsor, the Dutch DSB Bank, declared bankruptcy and was unable to donate its $300,000 in November 2009.[78][79] In an email to Time, he wrote it was "a bit embarrassing that our leadership couldn't secure other sponsors three months before the Olympic Games" but credited the show's host Stephen Colbert for "his willingness to help out our nation's greatest athletes".[80] In return for The Colbert Report donation, long track and short track skaters had the "Colbert Nation" logo on their uniforms for World Cup events leading up to the 2010 Winter Games.[80] Ohno did not wear the logo because Alaska Airlines was his primary sponsor for the 2010 Games.[78] He was also part of Oreo's Team DSRL sketch in 2011.
Ohno retired after the 2010 Olympics and appeared as a NBC commentator for the 2014 Sochi Games and 2018 Pyeongchang Games.[81] In November 2014 Ohno sponsored a speedskating race in Salt Lake City, UT that featured the four top men and women skaters from the US, China, Canada and the Netherlands. He has appeared in a number of television shows as a host, actor and guest star since his retirement. In 2019, he announced he is writing a book that chronicles his transition from Olympic athlete to entrepreneur.[82] He says the book will "...pull back the curtain, in a sense, and showcases all the inner workings that go into making an Olympic athlete and then also the other side of what happens after day 17 of the Games when you're no longer competing. You're at the top of your game, you're in top physical condition, top mental condition, and now you're thrust into a world that is very unfamiliar to you and you feel like an alien".[82] The book will be released early 2020.[82]
Television career[edit]
Ohno has had an interest in pursuing a career in the entertainment world.[7] He participated and won the fourth season of the U.S. reality show Dancing with the Stars with his partner Julianne Hough. He returned for the 15th Season which features all-star celebrities. Ohno's interests in fashion led him to be a guest judge on the fashion reality show Project Runway in 2008, and to an endorsement deal with Omega, the maker of luxury watches, in 2010.[83] Omega President Stephen Urquhart said, "We are very proud to support Apolo here in Vancouver and congratulate him on his outstanding performance. He is poised to make history of his own here and we are thrilled that he is part of the Omega family".[84] He also appeared on Minute to Win It as the host of the GSN revival in 2013 since he is a fan of the show.[85]
Dancing with the Stars[edit]

Ohno participated on the fourth season of the reality show, Dancing with the Stars.[86] He was paired with dancing partner Julianne Hough, and both appeared on the show for the first time on March 19, 2007.[87] Together, they received the competition's first perfect score of 30 for their samba routine on April 16, 2007.[88] The dancing duo became finalists in the competition, and went on to become the champions in May 2007.[89]

Personal life[edit]
After retirement from short track, Ohno has invested in a number of companies in the health and technology sectors, including co-founding HybridBlock (a cryptocurrency trading ecosystem).[82][98] He is writing a book about his post-skating career that he plans to release early 2020.[82] He studied business at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.[99] He is currently dating Bianca Stam, an actress and restaurant investor.[100][101]
During his skating career in the United States, Ohno is credited with popularizing and being the face of his sport.[6][7] He said it is amazing being able to be role model to younger skaters since growing up, he did not have that influence within his sport, but looked up to other athletes outside his sport, such as Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and Lance Armstrong.[7] After the 2010 Winter Games, he created the Apolo Anton Ohno Foundation and partnered with the Century Council's Ask, Listen, Learn Program to discourage underage drinking of alcohol and to promote a healthy lifestyle.[102][103]
Ohno has an interest in being a philanthropist. He participated in GAP's campaign to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa by joining Product Red.[104] Half of the proceeds went to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.[104] Besides working with The Salvation Army and the Clothes off our Back Foundations, he used his fame to help raise funds for a Ronald McDonald House in Seattle after the 2002 Winter Games.[105][106] He helped raise $20,000 for Nikkei Concerns, a provider of care and services for Japanese elders living in the Pacific Northwest.[107] Later that year, Ohno joined Senator Ted Kennedy in Washington, D.C. to show the importance of math and science education by helping launch the "Math Moves U Hippest Homework Happening" program, which gave students the opportunity to do math homework online with celebrities and athletes.[108]
He has also volunteered with Special Olympics and taken part in Unified Sports, which brings together athletes with intellectual disabilities and without on the same team. Ohno served as a Special Olympics Global Ambassador ahead of the 2015 World Summer Games in Los Angeles, California.[109]

The Senate turns its focus this week to conflicts of interest and loss of investor confidence in the U.S. markets.
The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation, led by Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.) will hold a hearing on Tuesday based on the recent debate on whether high-frequency trading hurts the markets.
"I would hope there would be action coming out of this," said Eric Scott Hunsader, CEO of Nanex, a market technology firm.
Hunsader wants regulators to go into the exchanges and financial firms using high-speed trading systems and conduct an inspection.
"Regulators should do a hardware-, software-level audit on exactly how trades are routed, in order for people to feel like regulators are looking at this," said Hunsader.
The debate on high-frequency trading erupted after the release of Michael Lewis's book "Flash Boys" back in March, which claimed that markets were rigged against the little guy.
The main protagonist in the book, Bradley Katsuyama, President & CEO of IEX Group, Inc., will be a star witness at the hearing, which will start at 9:30 a.m. Eastern. Katsuyama designed and created the IEX as a venue where high-frequency trading firms cannot front run other traders.
Other panelists include Thomas Farley, president of NYSE Group, and Joseph Ratterman, CEO of BATS Global Markets, Inc., representing the exchanges that profit from the trading done by high-frequency traders.
Executives from Vanguard and TD Ameritrade will also be there. Vanguard, the index-fund giant, has defended the HFT firms, with CEO Bill McNabb saying the market is not rigged and that investors pay lower trading fees because of the presence of high-frequency traders. TD Ameritrade meanwhile, has been in the spotlight over the payments the brokerage receives for directing retail investor orders to particular venues.
Finance professor Robert Battalio from the University of Notre Dame will also appear as a witness to lend his expertise on the relationship between financial market design and trading costs.
The hearing will focus on two specific conflicts of interest:
First, payments by wholesale broker-dealers to retail brokers for their customer orders, known as "payment for order flow;" and "maker-taker" rebates or fees that, depending on the circumstances, exchanges either pay or charge to brokers for executing trades on their platforms.
The second focus is rebates paid to brokers by stock exchanges and other trading venues. There are currently eleven public stock exchanges plus over 200 alternative trading systems, including a large number of "dark pools." These trading venues offer various rebate structures in order to attract brokers, and orders, to their platforms.
"One of the difficulties these days is that financial markets have changed so much because of the technology," said Ahmet K. Karagozoglu, finance professor at Hofstra University. "Financial regulators have to catch-up with the pace of technology."
There are a lot of financial institutions on one side of the argument that are not so fast, and there is a smaller group on the other side of the debate that uses the high-speed systems, notes Karagozoglu.
"The market is divided into fast or not so fast."

Healthy Food Sign: Whole Grains
Think of food for your body like gas for a car. That's how Linda Bartholomay explains healthy food choices. She works for Sanford Health in Fargo, N.D. She helps kids learn to eat healthfully. What happens "if you fuel your body with potato chips and snack cakes all the time?" she asks. "You're not going to go very well."
Your body runs best when you give it quality fuel. The trick is to know which foods rev your engine and which make you feel like a beat-up car.
One way to feel well-fueled is to pick whole grains. How do you know which foods are whole grains or have whole grains in them? You can look on a food's ingredient list. Look for the word "whole" high on the ingredient list. Examples are "whole wheat" or "whole oats."
Want another super-easy way? Look for the Whole Grains Council stamp.
The Whole Grains Council stamp is a yellow rectangle, like the picture above. It has ragged edges like a stamp. And it has a picture of a wheat stalk with the words "Whole Grain" on it. The stamp is found on some bread, cereal, and cracker packages. You usually see it on the package near the nutrition facts box.
Foods that have the stamp must have at least a half-serving of the whole grains you need in a day. (Your body needs three to six ounces of whole grains every day.) Whole grains have nutrients that keep your heart and body strong.
Foods with whole grains also have fiber. Fiber keeps you feeling full longer. So when you eat foods with whole grains you won't be hungry an hour after you eat, explains Sarah Hampl, MD. She is medical director at Children's Mercy Hospitals in Kansas City, Mo. She works with a program called Promoting Health in Teens and Kids.
Now go look in your pantry and see what you can find. Do any of your crackers, breads, or cereals have the whole grains stamp? Or do they have a whole grain like "whole wheat" or "whole oats" listed in the ingredients?
Next time you're at the grocery store, do some investigating. See how many items you can find with the stamp or "whole" listed in the ingredients. If something looks tasty, ask your parents if maybe they'll add it to the cart!

Review by Nonjatta contributor - AshDLS:
Yamazaki Distillery Tarudashi Genshu 10-year-old. 57 per cent alcohol (abv).
Colour: A wonderful rich gold colour. It has a relatively gentle (but mouth-watering) nose for such a strong alcohol content. The first thing that hit my nose was the wood of the cask and a floral character, but give it some time and warmth and it's like waving a freshly-cut green apple right under your nose. I've also noticed a couple of standard 10yo reviews mention a paint-like scent. It's definitely prominent in this one too, with a deep whiff, but certainly not in an unpleasant way.
Mouth: The mouth feel is like running your tongue up against in the inside of a cask! [Nonjatta Ed.: be careful of splinters!] A reasonable amount of dry spice on the palate with a honeyish sweetness trailing not far behind. Could quite happily sip away at this one without adding any water (despite having given it a go). It is not as overwhelming as other cask-strength malts."
Nonjatta note: "Tarudashi Genshu" means "Straight from the cask, cask strength." Ash tells me this was picked up from the distillery last year.

Love covers a lot of ground.
There is the love between a parent and a child. There's love for one's partner, sibling, friend, pet.
There is even the very real love a child feels for a favorite stuffed animal. Any parent who has had to wash that stuffed animal or search frantically for it can attest to that.
Some might say love varies in its degrees — that the love one has for a spouse cannot compare to the love between a tow-headed child and his pretend dinosaur.
The point is noted, but we won't quibble at this time over such technicalities. Because we feel love, in any of its forms, is essential — now more than ever.
Or maybe it just feels that way. Violence and hatred can end us individually, but we cannot let it take us down collectively. Therein lies the rub. Because it is as individuals that we must make choices that will change all of our lives for the better.
The CBS Evening News ran a story in 2012 on State College postman Mike Herr, known as Mike the Mailman. His kindness to customers over the last four decades has made him a local celebrity.
"My mission is to make them have a little bit of levity on the way out and say, 'Hey, it's not so bad after all,'" Herr told CBS News. "This is what I do. I'm just myself, that's all I can do."
Herr is humble in his response because the story goes on to tell how his outpouring of love, and in probably the most casual way, has brightened countless lives and influenced one man to conclude that Mike the Mailman probably taught him the most about life.
"It was honestly his example that kind of taught me it's not what you do in life, but it's how you do it," Michael Aitkenhead, a Penn State alumnus, told CBS News.
The story's author, Steve Hartman, at one point declared that Mike was "pure heart."
On this Valentine's Day, let's take a cue from Mike the Mailman who practices daily, it seems, the popular Bible verse for weddings about love being patient and kind, which is not specific to a husband and wife, but covers the love between all mankind.
By all means, kiss your lover, hug your friend and keep your children close. Buy the flowers, the chocolates, the paper hearts. But don't forget your neighbor.
Remember, maybe the man taking so long in line in front of you just lost a friend who was serving his country. Maybe a child crying to his mother in the bus seat next to you misses his father who is sleeping on a friend's couch.
And perhaps the woman who brushed you aside at the checkout counter doesn't know if she can pay her mortgage this month.
Love will save us. Love can keep us from having to carry alone the weight of this heavy, heavy world we live in.
Today, let's remember all that ground love can cover. Be kind. Love one another.
And Happy Valentine's Day.
– Altoona Mirror
