FAYETTE CROSS: Fayette's boys team, along with Melani Seiler, will advance Saturday to the regional cross country meet in Tiffin.
The boys placed fourth overall to move on for another week, while Seiler placed 11th—good enough to qualify as an individual.
The boys have wanted to defeat Pettisville all season, coach Bryan Stambaugh said, and they got the job done Saturday at Tiffin.
"We really missed Chandler Sanford who is out with mono and Dalton [Goeltzenleuchter] had been hurt for the last three weeks," Stambaugh said. "I felt we really stepped up and ran the best we could have."
Hilltop placed first, followed by Coldwater, Columbus Grove and then Fayette.
Darrell Randall didn't come through with his best effort, placing seventh at 17:14. He had some breathing problems, but Stambaugh expects to see an improvement this weekend.
"To me, it seems like he's never been as focussed and determined to go after someone," he said.
Other Eagles runners were Trevor Cox (17:22, 12th); Tim Stoltzfus (18:17, 26th); Dalton Goeltzenleuchter (18:34, 37th); Tyler Keefer (18:42, 40th); Dusty Lantz (19:33, 61st); and Clay Burkholder (20:06, 74th).
Mike Seas of Coldwater won the race at 16:26. Five others finished below 17 minutes.
Seiler made the cut among the top 16 finishers, but teammate Jill Stuckey missed by one place—four seconds away.
After Seiler's 11th place finish at 20:31, Stuckey crossed the line at 20:57 for 16th.
Following were Madelyn Maginn (22:17, 38th); Alexa Kessler (23:13, 45th); Baker, Ashtyn Baker (23:48, 52nd); Sarah Kovar (24:22, 57th) and Sydney Brown (25:15, 71st).
Ottoville's Shayla Siefker was first at 19:05, one of five runners to break the 20-minute mark.
Liberty Center, Bluffton, Kalida and Pettisville qualified for the regional run, while Fayette placed seventh.
FAYETTE SCHOLAR ATHLETES: Thirteen Fayette students qualified for Scholar Athlete status for fall season sports.
Members of the golf team who qualified are seniors Nelson Barnhiser and Chase Hookstadt, and juniors Kevin Ferguson and Jonathon Boesger. Boesger also qualified as a member of the cross country team.
Other cross country scholar athletes are seniors Hunter Colegrove and Darrell Randall (both 4.0 students), Clay Burkholder and Alexa Kessler, and juniors Trevor Cox, Tim Stoltzfus and Sarah Kovar.
Volleyball scholars are juniors Reba Rash and Kayla Wagner.
To make the scholar athlete listing, a student be a junior or senior, a varsity letter winner and have at least 3.25 GPA.
MORENCI CROSS: Morenci's cross country teams are trading shorter milage for stiffer competition in this year's regional tournament.
Last year, the Bulldogs traveled a park south of Detroit and squeaked into the state meet. This time around, Morenci travels only as far as Hudson, but there they will face three top-10 Div. IV teams.
The boys squad runs at 10 a.m. Saturday, followed by the girls. The Div. IV regional race is the only one scheduled this year in Hudson.
Based on previous times, coach Brad Brown expects senior Tyler Guelde to have a good chance of qualifying for state by placing among the top 15 runners, and sophomore Luke Spaulding could make it out if he cuts some time off his previous best.
On the girls side, freshman Mariah Gillen might make the cut.
SAND CREEK—Morenci's boys placed third among 11 teams Monday at the Sand Creek Invitational. Guelde led the way with a fifth place finish at 17:52.
He was followed by Luke Spaulding (10th, 18:05), Jake Spaulding (16th, 18:58), Micah Gillen (19th, 19:20) and Reagan Stowell (34th, 20:29).
The winner from Hanover-Horton ran the course in 17:09.
Gillen placed 18th in the girls race at 22:40, followed by Kortney Cousino (51st, 26:50), Barbara Hollstein (53rd, 27:07), Taylor Baugh (55th, 27:21) and Mary Margaret Hollstein (67th, 29:48).
WHITMORE LAKE—With Guelde absent Saturday, Luke Spaulding was first for the Bulldogs at the Whitmore Lake Invitational. He placed 22nd overall at 17:58.
Other Bulldogs were Jake Spaulding (51st, 18:44), Gillen (76th, 20:08), Stowell (82nd, 20:47) and Logan Drummond (83rd, 20:52).
Coach Brown was pleased with Gillen's showing in the large meet with her 18th-place finish at 21:56. Other finishers were Cousino (49th, 24:50), Barbar Hollstein (62nd, 26:19), Baugh (67th, 26:52) and Mary Margaret Hollstein (73rd, 29:19).
MORENCI FOOTBALL: Whiteford, the specialists in come-from-behind victories, thought they might pull off another one Friday night in Morenci.
The Bobcats came back from a 16-0 deficit, tied the game at 16-16 and again at 22-22, then tightened things up once again at 38-28.
But then it stopped.
After that, only Morenci continued to score. The Bulldogs played spoilers to Whiteford's playoff bid and finished the season with a 52-28 victory.
"It was a great game," coach Tom Saylor said, "from the first quarter into the second quarter and into the third and fourth. We played four solid quarters of football."
Whiteford (5-4, 5-3) has a talented team, Saylor said, but they fell short of a come-back win this time. In four games this season, the Bobcats have erased second-half deficits to post victories.
"I'm glad the seniors got to go out with a win," Saylor said. "They didn't quit and they really took it to them. They weren't to be denied the win."
The Bulldogs (4-5, 4-3) lost the ball on a fumble on their first possession, but soon came back to take an 8-0 lead. Max Gautz broke loose for a 66-yard gain to the nine-yard line and Brett Bovee scored on a keeper. Bovee also ran the conversion.
Jordan Bach made several gains on the next drive before Gautz scored on a sweep around the left end. Bovee made it 16-0 with 10 minutes left in the second quarter.
Whiteford tied the game with only 57 seconds remaining in the half, but the Bulldogs made good use of their time. Gautz grabbed a pass by Bovee, shifted across field and broke a tackle on his way to a 58-yard score.
Nick Wilson sacked the Whiteford quarterback to prevent a replay by the Bobcats.
Morenci looked as if it might start to crumble in the third quarter. They punted on their first possession, allowed a Whiteford score to tie the game at 22-22, lost ground on a holding call and a fumble, and finally lost possession on an interception.
With second and 11 on Morenci's 35-yard line, Whiteford's quarterback was intercepted in a play that seemed to be a tipping point.
A pass went right into the hands of Austin VanBrandt who traveled 56 yards for a touchdown. Bach ran for two and a 30-22 lead. The Bulldogs soon took over on the Bobcat 46 and needed only four plays to score. Gautz made a pair of first downs before scoring from 14 yards out. Bach added two points for a 38-22 lead.
Whiteford added a touchdown, but the Bulldogs still had two to go. Gautz scored from 19 yards out and Jay Howard capped a drive with a seven-yard run for the final 52-28 tally.
"Max played up to his potential and then some," Coach Saylor said.
He also cited Wilson for his seven solo tackles and seven assists, and Howard for eight solo tackles at his inside linebacker position.
Summerfield is the only Tri-County Conference team to advance in the playoffs.
JV FOOTBALL: Morenci's junior varsity football team claimed its final victory of the season without even stepping onto the field.
Bulldog coach Ryan Love said that Whiteford decided to forfeit the game, citing injuries and ineligibilities that left too few players.
Morenci ended the season with an 8-1 record.

TiVo HME Bloglines Reader Add-On Released
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Home Entertainment, Internet,
Over the weekend word got out that a TiVo add-on for the HME (Home Media Engine) has been released. According to eHome Upgrade, this "must have" add-on is actually quite limited with its initial functions. It reportedly allows users to log-in and read their Bloglines feed subscriptions through the TiVo interface. This sounds great, but it doesn't seem to work all that well. The feeds aren't sorted in any particular order, folders in your Bloglines feeds are completely ignored ,and the screen title positioning is bad.

Sony Ordered to Pay $90 Million To Immersion
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Video Games,
Sony has been ordered by the US court to pay up $90 million in damages and halt Playstation and Playstation 2 sales in the US due to patent infringement.
SCE said it will continue US sales of the products ordered to be halted, which include PlayStation and PlayStation 2 consoles, two game controllers and 47 software titles, as the court order will not go into effect before until Sony's appeal. Sony will also be paying compulsory license fees to Immersion, the company who filed suit, an SCE spokeswoman said.
Immersion, a California-based developer of tactile feedback technology, claimed Sony Computer Entertainment infringed on its technologies that make a game controller vibrate in sync with actions in games.

Duke University iPod Follow Up
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Portable Audio / Video,
Back in July we told you about Duke University giving iPods to all freshmen coming in. Well, the school has reported back with a few interesting paces on a page dedicated to their iPod program. The page has information on why the program was started, as well as the different projects that have come about through the program. While this is all nice, I think it is fair to say that most student just use their Duke-supplied iPod as an MP3 player - and not much more.

Orange SPV M2000 Review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Smartphones, Product Reviews,
If you have been looking for a good Skype phone for use on the go, this seems to be the one to get. In fact, the reviewer seems to think that this Pocket PC 2003 phone could possibly be a laptop replacement. A bold statement, but reading the review does make us wonder.
This device is extremely useful and can do a great deal. With the keyboard slid home it looks like many other PocketPC's or PocketPC Phones, but the inclusion of the keyboard - which after a very short while is easy to master - means that this gets a definite thumbs up from me.

TiVo to Go Content on Your PSP
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Portable Audio / Video,
I just ran across this site that not only answers most of the questions involving the TiVo To Go technology, but also explains the process of transferring TiVo To Go content onto your Playstation Portable. While this stands to be a lot better content-wise than the Sony PSP Connect videos, we all know that TiVo To Go pretty much sucks.

Bicycle Wheel Persistence of Vision Hack
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Mods / Hacks,
This is a slick hack involving a bicycle wheel and a persistence of vision toy. One thing that's really cool about this one is there is a second led row that blinks out bitmaps backwards on one side of the wheel. This lets you print out text messages and have them be readable from both sides. It appears to work really well. Bicycle messengers get ready, now you can sell advertising while you work!

Write a Mac Virus for $25,000?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Internet, PC / Laptop, Software,
DVForge had put up a challenge on their website over the weekend, offering $25,000 to anyone who could write a virus that would infect a couple of Mac computers. The stance was that this was in response to a Symantec report that stated that Mac OS X is very close to seeing its own share of attacks. DVForge says they were simply trying to prove that it could not be done. Other are saying that this was a nicely planned PR move to get people talking about the company, and buying their products. As of today, the challenge has been taken off of the DVForge site, and there is no mention of it anywhere.

Use Non-Duo Memory Cards in Your PSP
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Video Games,
One of the nuances with the PSP as far as memory goes is that you need to use the more expensive Duo sticks, rather than the standard Sony Memory Stick. It looks like someone has found a nice workaround in this area, as they have figured out a way to have the PSP recognize regular Memory Stick media. It takes a little bit of time to get it working, and certainly doesn't look practical, but it is still very cool nonetheless.

PSP Web Browsing Works!
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Internet, Video Games,
Using Wipeout Pure, a custom DNS FreeBSD local server and some hacking tricks a couple of people have been able to browse the web using their PSPs. Wipeout Pure includes an in-game link to a Sony download page that for now only states it is "Coming Soon", this sparked an idea from some people such as roto/mozy to find out just what was the page the PSP was accessing. After "sniffing" around they were able to find out just what link the PSP was accessing and set their local server running FreeBSD to redirect the PSP to their local file via custom DNS mapping. The result is being able to make a local file with some links to various pages of their choice. Not only are they able to surf the web using links, but also dialog box input via the PSP's Keyboard API. The website set up for information just has information they have gathered and promises a guide to be made available soon.
The site is down right now, but here's a mirror for now.

This plan describes the plan alluded to in comments of #5152 to improve the web resource model.
The problems:
- No streaming uploads.
- No Deferred support in render(), and adding it wouldn't be backwards compatible.
- getChild makes it hard to conume multiple path segments at once. The current API also assumes the body is present (see problem 1).
The solution is a new resource model, re-using the existing HTTP server. Old resources will be able to be children of new resources. A series of tickets will do the following:
- Minimal new resource traversal API (#5379). Traversal will not have access to body. The current proposal is a (hopefully) improved version of the
locateChildAPI used in nevow and web2.
- Add support for streaming bodies.
At that point a whole bunch of improvements can be done in parallel:
- render_GET etc. dispatch, maybe OPTIONS as well.
- Parsing POSTed forms, including file uploads. Web2 has a bunch of code we can hopefully re-use for this.
- Update the documentation.
- Compatibility with old resource model.
The hope is that having smaller tickets will allow ongoing reviews feature by feature.

Pac-12 M5: 02.22.13 EditionPosted by AMurawa on February 22nd, 2013
- Thursday night the Pac-12 race got even tighter as California's Justin Cobbs took advantage of Oregon's 5'8" point guard Jonathan Loyd in the waning moments of their meeting, knocking down a game-winning jumper over the smaller man's outstretched arms. As we head into the weekend, we've got three teams atop the conference with four losses while a pair of teams, including those Golden Bears, lurk just one game back in the loss column. The game itself wasn't pretty, as Cobbs turned the ball over eight times, the teams combined to shoot 3-of-21 from deep and nobody on Oregon shot better than 50% from the field, but Cal continues to be the hottest team in the conference with six victories in its last seven games. As for Oregon, this current group of Ducks still remains winless in their careers against California.
- In the wake of Washington State's seventh straight conference loss on Wednesday night, the talk about whether head coach Ken Bone is the man for the job in Pullman for the long term has reached a fever pitch. The talk has been slowly bubbling up since way back before the season began as Reggie Moore got booted from the team and incoming transfer Brett Kingma ran afoul of the law, highlighting some off-the-court issues that have troubled Bone's program for some time. But, as CougCenter pointed out a couple weeks back, if the university hopes to go a different way, they've got to figure out a way around Bone's hefty contract, which promises the coach $2.55 million over the remaining three years. Given the amount of money the WSU athletic department already has tied up in paying current and former football coaches, that amount of money may be too much to bear at this point. And, as I pointed out back before the season, expectations in Pullman have to be realistic. The fact of the matter is that prior to this season, Bone had the second-highest winning percentage of any coach in school history who had coached at least 20 games. Unfortunately for him, however, the one guy ahead of him was his predecessor.
- USC will take a crack at earning a season sweep of crosstown rival UCLA at the Galen Center on Sunday afternoon. And if they're going to get it done, they'll need to lean heavily on senior point guard Jio Fontan who, after dealing with ACL surgery last year and the heavy-handed offensive structure of former head coach Kevin O'Neill, is now thriving with more freedom under interim coach Bob Cantu and more confidence in a knee that gets stronger by the game.
- One thing we haven't talked a lot about here this season is the Player of the Year race in the Pac-12. No worries though, as Pachoops has got you covered on that mark. Adam Butler scouts the candidates out and narrows the race down to two guys: Arizona State's Jahii Carson and Cal's Allen Crabbe. I wanted to quibble (Carrick Felix anyone?) but in the end decided that yes, those are the two guys atop the leaderboard right now and somebody from the next pack back (some combination of Solomon Hill, Shabazz Muhammad, Spencer Dinwiddie and Felix) would have to go absolutely nuts for that to change. In my mind, however, Carson is the favorite, as he has been for at least a month; but as Cal has heated up, Crabbe has made a big time charge to the point where it is just about even money right now.
- Lastly, in case you forgot, DirecTV has still not come to an agreement with the Pac-12 conference to carry the Pac-12 Networks. I'm sure all of you have done the right thing and dropped DirecTV like a hot potato, but apparently there are people out there sticking with the satellite television behemoth instead of watching tons of Pac-12 action this season. And, if you're somehow still among that crowd, you've missed the 20 out of Arizona State's 27 games this season that have aired on the Pac-12 Networks. Don't hold your breath on a deal getting done any time soon as both sides appear entrenched in their positions.

Congress Asks OMB for Detailed Impact of Sequestration
While there has been much talk about the devastating impact of sequestration on federally-funded programs, there have not been a lot of details to help states and districts prepare. To help increase transparency around this issue, Senators Patty Murray (WA) and John McCain (AZ) recently introduced a bipartisan amendment to the Farm Bill that would require the Office of Management of Budget to submit to Congress a detailed analysis of the impact of sequestration cuts on both defense and non-defense discretionary programs, including education programs like Perkins. Specifically, it would require OMB to provide figures for the number of educator job lost, the number of students no longer able to access education programs, and education resources lost by states and districts. This report would have to be completed within 60 days of the Farm Bill's passage. If the bill does not pass, the Senators intend to attach the amendment to any future bills that the Senate takes up.
In the House, the Budget Committee unanimously reported H.R. 5872, the Sequestration Transparency Act of 2012. Like the Murray-McCain amendment, this bill would require the Office of Management and Budget to detail how defense and non-defense programs would be affected by the automatic cuts.
Deal Reached on Student Loan Interest Rates
Democrats and Republicans in Congress have reached a deal to prevent the interest rates on student loans from doubling on July 1, 2012. The deal will extend the 3.4 percent interest rate on subsidized Stafford loans for one year. The extension will be paid for through two offsets. First, changes would be made to pension plans. The second, smaller offset would affect students: limiting how long new borrowers could receive in-school interest subsidies to 150 percent of the average time it takes to complete a degree. Currently there are no limits.
The House and Senate are scheduled to vote today on the bill to which this provision is attached. We will keep you updated on any developments.
Nancy Conneely, Public Policy Manager

Which of the following reasons describe why a destructor cannot throw an exception in C++?
A. The C++ language does not permit it; a throw statement in a destructor will be caught as an error by the compiler.
B. It can invoke the terminate() handler.
C. Since the object is being destroyed, it is illogical to throw an exception then.
D. A destructor may be invoked as a result of stack unwinding while an exception is being handled.
E. A destructor in C++ cannot implement a try...catch block.
* A is incorrect - you can throw an exception in an destructor
* B is correct - since if a destructor, called by the language runtime during stack unwinding, terminates
with an exception the whole program is terminated.
* C is correct - not sure why, but that answer makes sense to me.
* D unsure
* E is incorrect.
Can someone please confirm/comment? Thx

Police: Burglar targeted clinics that offer services to children with autism
Break-ins reported in June, July, August
MADISON, Wis. — Madison police said that surveillance video helped identify a suspect in a series of burglaries that targeted two clinics that offer services to children with autism as well as young people with other behavioral challenges and disorders.
Those who work for Integrated Developmental Systems, 815 Forward Dr., and for Children's Therapy Network, 14 Ellis Potter Ct., reported multiple break-ins in June, July and August where someone stole hundreds of dollars worth of food: pudding cups, crackers, cheese packs, yogurt and cottage cheese, police said.
Madison police said they identified John E. Newburg, 45, of Madison, as a suspect in five of the burglaries.
Newburg was arrested Wednesday night outside his home in the 6200 block of Schroeder Road on five counts of burglary and damage to property, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.

When They Say "It's Not About Birth Control," You Know… It's About Birth Control
The recent controversy over insurance coverage for contraception has vividly made the point that feminists have argued for years. The culture wars over reproductive rights never have been primarily about fetal personhood, the right to life, or now, religious freedom: they have always been about the control of women's bodies and sexuality.
In his comments to the Senate during President Bill Clinton's impeachment trial, Dale Bumpers noted that "H.L. Mencken said one time, 'When you hear somebody say, 'This is not about money,' it's about money.' And when you hear somebody say, 'This is not about sex,' it's about sex." The recent controversy over insurance coverage for contraception has vividly made the point that feminists have argued for years. The culture wars over reproductive rights never have been primarily about "fetal person-hood," the right to life, or now, religious freedom: they have always been about the control of women's bodies and sexuality.
In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when numerous states, and most western countries passed and more aggressively enforced laws against birth control and abortion, male legislators felt no need to pretend these laws were about anything other than controlling women's sexuality, or harnessing their wombs in the service of the state.
The Comstock Act of 1873 took the issue to the federal level, and defined any information about contraception or abortion as "obscene" and "illicit"—it was this law that Margaret Sanger put to the test by disseminating information on birth control. In1920, French legislators criminalized birth control, prohibited all distribution, advertisement, and promotion of female contraceptives, and stiffened penalties for abortion. The French pro-natalist campaign had emerged in the wake of France's defeat in the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian war. Consequently, politicians linked the issue of birth control with those of morality, national strength, economic growth, and protection of the family.
Feminists such as Nelly Roussel, who tried to decouple sexuality from maternity, could not persuade the public that "voluntary motherhood" was preferable to coerced motherhood. Historian Elinor Accampo quotes a conservative newspaper editor who denounced Roussel in tones reminiscent of Rush Limbaugh's recent attack on Sandra Fluke, writing that "these sorts of viragos, unsexed women who saturate literature and modern politics . . . mount their pens like they would mount a broom to go to a midnight orgy. Sterile or scorned, they avenge their disgrace by insulting Nature."
Sex. Abortion. Parenthood. Power.
The latest news, delivered straight to your inbox.
In the American context, until Roe vs. Wade, restrictions on both birth control and abortion were most often linked to arguments about the selfishness of women, the danger of rewarding the wages of sin, eugenics, and the need to control female sexuality. The changes in women's status that both led to and resulted from greater reproductive freedom made it more difficult for opponents of reproductive rights to explicitly continue this line of attack. Hence a new focus in 1970s and 1980s on the fetus as an innocent being, separate from the woman carrying it.
Pro-life activists also concentrated on the sexually active teenage girl, enacting new laws that would enhance parental control over their daughters' sexual behavior. Institutions affiliated with the Catholic and other churches fought for "conscience clauses" that permit them to deny reproductive services they find offensive, while pharmacy employees claimed the right to refuse to sell items that violate their beliefs. However, as both Rosalind Petchesky and Rickie Solinger have made clear, ideas about how "proper women" should behave, both sexually and as mothers, still shape reproductive politics in the United States. Access to contraception and abortion represent the "emancipated woman," more focused on her education and work than on family and child rearing. Rick Santorum made this connection explicit in recent comments, although he has tried to draw back from its implications in the face of outrage from even conservative women.
In recent years, the political right has tried to separate the issues of abortion and contraception, condemning abortion loudly while at the same time working quietly to make access to birth control more difficult and expensive. At the same time, in their rhetoric, they have tried to conflate birth control and abortion in the public's mind—for example, in the case of Plan B. The recent insurance controversy has linked those two issues, but not to the advantage of pro-life and anti-contraception forces. Suddenly, women have been forced to confront the fact that the right even to birth control, which they considered long settled, is more fragile than they realized.
Since many continue to oppose a sexually active woman's right to choose whether she becomes or remains pregnant, this debate will continue. But those who wish to make the case against reproductive rights should not be allowed to portray themselves simply as defenders of religious freedom or person-hood, or as desirous of giving women more information, as in the case of Virginia's recently passed and medically suspect ultrasound law. They should publicly acknowledge that they believe that church and state have more compelling rights over a woman's body then she does herself, and that the state has the right to endanger a woman's health in the interest of controlling her sexual behavior. I'm not sure that's a case that most legislators would care to make openly.

Justin Brayton has collected a passport full of travel stamps in the past few years, spending the off-season racing around Europe and collecting some decent start—and prize money—while staying in shape. Same goes for the newly retired Jason Thomas. Their travel habits harken back to another era in American motocross, when top riders would embark on fall and winter tours to race in some faraway locales. Some guys ended up staying abroad for much more than a weekend, as this week's List of 13 Moto Travelers shows.
JIMMY ELLIS: The 1975 AMA Supercross Champion and recent inductee to the AMA Motorcycle Museum Hall of Fame was invited to Australia back in the early eighties and jumped at the chance to go. He liked it so much Down Under that he basically never came back—he even has a pretty thick Australian accent now!
Jimmy Ellis on Pit Pass Radio during the AMA Motorcycling Hall of Fame weekend in Las Vegas.
JIM HOLLEY: One of the most traveled men of all, Holley followed in the tire tracks of Floridian Steve Martin to Japan, where he built up a nice second career as an advisor and conduit for Japanese riders hoping to move to America to race. He himself was followed to Japan by several fast men.
EDDIE WARREN: Remember "Fast" Eddie Warren? He was a Michigan Mafia prodigy in the early eighties, a charter member of Team Green, and the winner of the first 125cc East Region Supercross title in 1985. He won a couple of 125 Nationals the following year and seemed poised to become Kawasaki's next main man, but then Warren's career took a detour and he found himself in the South Pacific, racing in Australia and later Japan, where he won the 1992 All-Japan Championship. As far as we can tell, Eddie is still in Australia too.
RON TICHENOR: Ronnie was another visitor to the Land of the Rising Sun who went from being a Tuf Racing privateer in the States to a full-on factory rider in Japan, where he won a few titles. After Tichenor's three seasons there, Jeff Matiasevich followed and won two more titles.
KYLE LEWIS: When things weren't quite panning out in America, Kyle Lewis found himself with an invite in the late nineties to spend some time racing in Japan. He ended up reviving his own career, returning with much-improved confidence and speed. As for the Japanese, they decided it was time to make the All-Japan Championships just that: all-Japanese (or at least they agreed to stop importing American mercenaries to win their national championship).
Kyle Lewis was a two-time All-Japan National Champion.
JIM POMEROY: One of the fastest Americans of the 1970s, Pomeroy was invited by his Spain-based Bultaco team to race the 1973 FIM 250cc World Championships. He won the first race he entered—the Spanish 250cc Grand Prix—and spent much of the next four years living near the Bultaco factory and racing the Grand Prix circuit.
Rodney Smith earned worldwide recognition when he showed up at the '87 Argentina and Brazil 250cc Grand Prix races and won three of four motos.
RODNEY SMITH: A very fast NorCal rider from the eighties, Smith could not get a good gig in the States and ended up doing an international race in South America. He rode well enough that the Hollywood Cigarettes team hired him to race there full-time. When the 250cc Grand Prix tour came to visit Brazil and Argentina in 1988, Smith shocked everyone when he won three of the four motos! He was rewarded with a full-time ride in Europe on the Chesterfield team and eventually reached a #3 world ranking, then returned to America as a privateer. He finally found the perfect place—'a Suzuki factory ride in the Grand National Cross Country Series—and became one of the sport's all-time greats.
TRAMPAS PARKER: Back in the mid-eighties, Chad Parker was a fast kid from Louisiana who rode for Team Green as a Schoolboy. He didn't get much of a deal when he turned pro, so he took up an offer from his globetrotting friend Billy Liles to go do some races in Italy. Parker did well, met a girl, got married, and eventually found work on the Farioli KTM team. When the '89 125cc World Championship series kicked off in Italy, "Trampas" Parker crushed the field and began a run to the world title. He would stay in Italy for the rest of his career before heading back home to Louisiana. He also won another world title—the '91 250cc GP title—making him the first American to win two world championships.
TALLON VOHLAND: One of the only two brothers in supercross history to each win a main event in the 125 class, both Tallon and his older sibling Tyson ended up on the GP circuit in Europe, where Tallon had a very good career that spanned much of the nineties. When he was done, he stayed on with Acerbis in Italy, and while he's back in the U.S. primarily now, he's still with the company. In fact, he's very much responsible for the new inside-corner barriers that Acerbis makes for the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championships.
That's Tallon Vohland upon his return to the states after a strong GP career.
BOB MOORE: Warren's counterpart in '85 as the 125cc West Region champ, Moore went to Europe the following season because no one seemed interested in giving him a good deal in the States. He would end up staying there for the next ten years, living in a variety of countries (Andorra, anyone?) and riding for variety of teams. His career would be capped with his 125cc world championship in 1994. During his time in Europe he would be followed by the likes of Mike Healey, Ricky Ryan, A.J. Whiting, Todd DeHoop, Jimmy Button, Mike Brown, Mike Young, Ryan Hughes, Jimmy Albertson, Zach Osborne and Michael Leib—all of whom eventually came back to the States.
JIM TARANTINO: "The King of Saddleback" was once a badge of honor that was almost as important as being the winner of a national or supercross main, and the designation belonged to Jim Tarantino. Like Ellis, Tarantino went to another part of the world for a race—South Africa—and he liked the country so much he just stayed there! (Another rider who went at the time, Larry Wosick, met his future wife in South Africa.) Tarantino is doing well as an importer of various motocross parts and accessories in the land that has produced the likes of Greg Albertyn, Rob Herring, Grant Langston, Tyla Rattray, Gareth Swanepoel, and more.
Bade Manneh was profiled in Racer X Illustrated in the May '07 issue.
BADER MANNEH: Back at the dawn of 125cc supercross, Team Green's Bader Manneh was one of the fastest of the West Coast heroes. The Santee/El Cajon product even won the third 125cc supercross ever, at his hometown race of San Diego. But after a couple of years on the AMA circuit, Manneh moved to Europe to race the GPs, and he never returned. He still lives in Berscia, Italy, where he teaches young motocross racers and is a partner in Esta Motorsports. We featured him in the May '07 issue (Vol. 10, #5) when he tried to qualify for some West Region 250 SX races in a story called "The 40-Year-Old Veteran." Here's Manneh's record from The Vault.

HARRISON, N.J. – Another clean sheet, another win for the New York Red Bulls.
Thanks to an early goal from Kenny Cooper and another stout defensive effort defensively, the Red Bulls defeated the Houston Dynamo 1-0 at Red Bull Arena on Wednesday night.
The win was New York's third straight victory by that scoreline and second consecutive without Designated Player Thierry Henry, who is currently recovering from a hamstring injury. It also pushed the Red Bulls, now 6-3-1, ahead of rivals D.C. United and into second place in the Eastern Conference.
For Houston, the result drops them to 2-3-2 and ends their season-opening seven-game road trip to start the season. Houston are winless in their last five matches.
Playing without their other DP in Rafa Márquez due to an injury the Mexican international sustained on Tuesday, the Red Bulls once again began a home game with an early strike.
Cooper knocked in his eighth of the season in the seventh minute when he raced onto a lazy back pass from Corey Ashe, and deflected the ball into the back of the net as goalkeeper Tally Hall attempted to clear.
Houston began winning more of the possession battle as they searched for an equalizer, but the visitors had trouble creating anything from the run of play, settling for mostly half-chances for much of the game against a defense that has not surrendered a goal in its last 270 minutes.
The Dynamo's most dangerous offensive plays in the first half came on set pieces from Brad Davis, and even though Houston won a number of them, the young Red Bulls backline was able to clear the ball from danger every time.
Davis came close to equalizing for Houston from the run of play twice during the waning moments of the second half, but the former MetroStar missed the mark on a close-range header and shot from 15 yards out.
Houston head coach Dominic Kinnear shuffled his lineup on Wednesday, starting reservists Macoumba Kandji and Cam Weaver up top and shifting Calen Carr to right midfield.
New York's Hans Backe went mostly with the same lineup that shut out the LA Galaxy last weekend, including the green back four of Conor Lade, Markus Holgerson, Tyler Ruthven and Brandon Barklage.
Both teams have short turnarounds before their next games. The Red Bulls play their third game in eight days when they take on rivals Philadelphia Union on Sunday, while the Dynamo will play in their much-anticipated home opener at BBVA Compass Stadium on Saturday against D.C. United.

These last couple of mornings I've been enjoying a delicious cafe' au lait made with Cafe' du Monde coffee. The can photographed above was recently purchased from our local Fresh N Easy, but MacGyver husband and I first enjoyed the coffee and chicory during a trip to New Orleans last August.
We went to New Orleans for a summer weekend to celebrate my birthday. I immediately fell in love with the beautiful sights, the friendly people, and the delicious food. Drinking my cafe' au lait this morning brought back memories of our fun trip, especially the delicious beignets and chicory coffee at Cafe' du Monde. As you can imagine, it was a rather hot and humid August morning (note my frizzy hair!), and we had to wait in line for quite awhile, but the delicious coffee and fresh beignets were worth it! If you ever have the opportunity to visit New Orleans, you simply can't leave without a tasty treat from Cafe' Du Monde. And don't be surprised if you must go more than once (We went twice during our 3 day stay!).

On June 5, 1981, the CDC introduced the world to the disease the eventually became known as AIDS. This is the second article in a series that looks back at some of the major milestones of the past 25 years. Part One of this series can be found in the January 2006 edition of Survival News.
1987 would prove to be a pivotal year in the fight against AIDS. In just five short years, the estimated number of AIDS cases had grown from five to nearly 40,000. We finally knew that there was a link between HIV infection and an AIDS diagnosis, and front-line providers, researchers and advocates all knew that this disease was beginning to take a heavy toll on women and people of color. People were fed-up with the slow pace of government and industry in developing an adequate response to this growing epidemic and began to take matters into their own hands.
In February of 1987, the pharmaceutical company Burroughs Wellcome (now known as GlaxoSmithKline) released AZT as the first medication to treat AIDS -- with a price of $10,000, the most expensive drug ever released. Since AZT had actually been developed in the 1960s in a government-sponsored project to find treatments for cancer, the AIDS community was outraged at this price, believing that the only reason the company charged that amount was due to the extreme lengths to which people would go to find a treatment or cure for AIDS.
The outrage led to action, and the first ACT UP demonstration was held on March 24, 1987, on Wall Street to protest the "AIDS Profiteering" of the pharmaceutical industry. While Larry Kramer is often given sole credit for founding ACT UP, the truth is much more complicated. While Kramer did give voice to the growing frustration in the LGBT community at the lack of government response to AIDS through articles and speeches, it was really a combination of seasoned social justice activists and daring artists such as the Gran Fury art collective and the Silence = Death project that helped this new activism group gain an immediate foothold in the AIDS community.
By December 1987, 71,751 cases of AIDS had been reported to the World Health Organization. The US was the epicenter of the epidemic with the highest number of reported cases, 47,022. Of those, 20,436 people had died of AIDS in the US alone. The next several years represented the height of AIDS activism and advocacy in this country. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation was one of the first major national foundations to tackle the issue of AIDS services and the organizational infrastructure that would be needed to build systems of care in the cities hardest hit by AIDS. Starting in 1986, the foundation had distributed tens of millions of dollars to establish case management programs throughout the country in an effort to promote the establishment of a specific system of care for people living with AIDS. These private efforts would eventually evolve into the community planning councils and the first coordinated federal response to AIDS: the Ryan White CARE Act.
As the system of care began to evolve and strengthen, the frustrations of the limited effectiveness of AZT led to some advocates to begin looking at the entire issue of pharmaceutical research and development. These grassroots efforts at "treatment activism" were met with great skepticism at first. Medical research is a complex field of study that takes even the brightest students years to master, so what could a rag-tag group of artists, media professionals, and leftists possibly add to the mix? The answer was a great deal. People such as Martin Delaney of Project Inform, Mark Harrington of the Treatment Action Group and Iris Long of ACT UP/New York represent the hundreds of treatment activists whose efforts led not only to the belief that all people living with HIV/AIDS could be in partnership with the health care providers, but led to the development of all the antiretroviral medications we benefit from today.
The successes in advocacy and advancements in research were also met with shifts in how mainstream America viewed the AIDS crisis. With the outspoken advocacy of a young Ryan White and the passage of his namesake legislation, people were finally beginning to realize that AIDS was everyone's concern. One of the groups that helped to bring out this attitude shift was Visual AIDS. This artists collective was first formed in 1988, although it was their creation of the AIDS ribbon in 1991 that allowed many who were looking for an alternative to the "Silence = Death" logo of ACT UP to find a public way of showing their support of the fight against AIDS.
These years also gave rise to the voice of women AIDS activists. While women have always been involved in AIDS advocacy, care, education and research, it was not until 1990 that pressure began to mount on looking at the specifics of HIV and women. Up until this time, the basic scientific definition of AIDS remained based on the opportunistic infections that had been seen in the men who made up the majority of early cases. However, reports continued to surface of women testing positive for HIV and dying of infectious diseases, yet who did not meet the definition of AIDS. Led by the ACT UP Women's Caucus and groups such as WORLD (Women Organized to Respond to Life-threatening Disease) and Women Alive, a multi-year campaign was launched that eventually led the CDC to change the definition of AIDS to specifically include women.
1992 was an election year, and may have represented the peak of AIDS activism. Demonstrations against the President and government officials had become routine. Having an arrest record was almost mandatory as a way of showing you cared about fighting AIDS. Public opinion was starting to turn towards supporting people living with HIV. Both political parties responded to this by announcing platforms concerning AIDS and having people living with HIV speak at their national conventions. The Democrats invited both Bob Hattoy, a political insider who was recently diagnosed, and Elizabeth Glaser, founder of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. The Republicans invited Mary Fischer. Activists gathered outside both conventions, however the scene at the Republican convention was the most dramatic. Following a peaceful march to the Houston Astrodome, police cordoned off the demonstration and blocked it from reaching the gates. Outraged, the activists began burning barricades and an effigy of the President. Although only six people were arrested, unknown numbers of protesters were injured when police swept through the crowds on horseback swinging batons at the restless crowd.
At the end of 1992: 335,211 are diagnosed with AIDS in the US, 198,322 are dead, and it is estimated that well over 11 million people world wide are infected with HIV.

MSI's 3-in-1 Solution
MSI's 3-in-1 Solution
Now that we have seen Intel P45 representatives from two major vendors in the form of the ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe and Gigabyte's GA-EP45T-EXTREME, it's about time we turn to the other member of the 'Big 3' - MSI. What are the new features that the manufacturer have up its sleeves to counter its fierce rivals?
Well, some of you may remember that we did a preview of the "Eaglelake" motherboards from MSI. While we did not go in-depth, you may have a faint idea that DrMOS is a big part of all this. And you would be totally correct. But before you say "Doctor MOS", you should know that it actually means Driver-MOSFETs and it refers to an integrated Driver-MOSFET package that combines three chips together: a driver IC, a high MOSFET and a low MOSFET. These are the chief components used to regulate and provide power to the processor (as well as a few other critical components) but they are usually found separately on the motherboard. According to MSI, putting all of them together will lead to greater power efficiency while providing better performance. In short, MSI claims it's the proverbial magic bullet.
Obviously MSI has a lot more to elaborate on this DrMOS feature, which is linked to other marketing terms, XpressCool, GreenPower and RapidBoost. We'll be looking at these features more closely on the next page.
Since our preview had covered some of the board layout and features, we won't be repeating the gallery of images, just some of the more important ones below. Suffice to say, this is not MSI's flagship P45 board but as the DDR3 version of the Platinum edition, it's close to being the top dog, with the MSI P45 Diamond arguably having the edge.
Feature-wise, it is thankfully not as over-the-top as the Gigabyte EXTREME that we saw recently, with a more mainstream configuration of supporting up to 4 DIMMs and 8GB of DDR3 memory (O/C to 1600MHz possible). CPU support is however restricted to those of 65nm and newer, meaning you'll need at least a Conroe derivative. MSI's rather famous Circu-Pipe cooler makes its return, though the new version now comes with five heatpipes, a trapezoid base and lots of fine copper fins to maximize its heat dissipation surface area. As a P45 board, it naturally supports CrossFireX, with the native PCIe 2.0 x 16 lanes splitting automatically to a set of x8 lanes when two compatible ATI cards are installed.
Other features you may want to note include the usual presence of a Realtek ALC888 HD Audio CODEC, a FireWire controller supporting up to two IEEE1394 ports (1 rear and 1 header) and there's even a eSATA port at the rear. Surprisingly, MSI has kept to a modest configuration of just a single Gigabit Ethernet port, which we think is sensible for more the general enthusiast despite another vendor's hype over dual Gigabit teaming and backup, which are perhaps preferable only to the really top-level power users.
Some perks that we have been spoilt with and found here on this MSI board are the onboard Power and Reset buttons and a Clear CMOS button at the rear I/O panel; these are features which are much desired by enthusiasts when troubleshooting or overclocking. There are also LEDs that act as visual indicators for the boot up sequence. Overall, the board layout and design is user friendly and we had no troubles installing our hardware onto it.

text: Thanks to the San Jose Biz Journal for its article discussing the boom in funding for mobile phone game creators and publishers. The story notes that venture capitalists "made six gaming investments totaling $50 million in all of 2003. In the second quarter of 2004 alone, there were five [largely mobile gaming] deals totaling $86 million." Apparently: "Java-enabled handset sales tripled in 2003 to 95.5 million units and sales of Qualcomm's Brew platform reached 11.6 million in 2003, up from 3.5 million the prior year." Although "mobile gaming is young enough that it's cheap to produce a lot of games and see which ones stick", do you think these large investments are going to pay off?http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/11/0555256

An international team of scientists has discovered the biggest known structure in the universe—and it would take a vehicle traveling at the speed of light 4 billion years to cross it.
The structure is a large quasar group—a collection of supermassive black holes which form a single, massive structure—and it is huge. It's made up of seventy-three quasars, and is over four billion light-years across at its widest point. For some perspective, that distance is 1,600 times larger than the distance between our galaxy, the Milky Way, and its nearest neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy. Dr Clowes, one of the researchers on the projects, explains:
"While it is difficult to fathom the scale of this large quasar group, we can say quite definitely it is the largest structure ever seen in the entire universe. This is hugely exciting – not least because it runs counter to our current understanding of the scale of the universe.
"Even traveling at the speed of light, it would take 4 billion years to cross. This is significant not just because of its size but also because it challenges the Cosmological Principle."
The Cosmological Principle—the notion that "'viewed on a sufficiently large scale, the properties of the Universe are the same for all observers"—is bread and butter to astronomers. But structures of this scale raise problems of perspective that could throw the idea into question. Regardless of how Einstein's thinking stands up, though, this is an amazing—and mind-boggling—discovery. [Royal Astronomical Society]

U.S. Supreme Court justices signaled support for Monsanto Co. in a clash with a farmer who used harvested soybeans to plant a second crop, hinting at a victory for makers of vaccines, software and genetically modified products.
Hearing arguments today in Washington, a majority of the nine justices suggested that Monsanto has broad rights to control the use of seeds that contain its patented technology. The genetically modified seeds are used to grow more than 90 percent of the nation's soybeans.
Without strong patent protection, "Monsanto would have no incentive to create a product like this one," Justice Elena Kagan said.
A victory for Monsanto would potentially let patent holders limit the use of self-replicating products, which also include live vaccines, genetically modified salmon and bacteria strains used in medical research.
Monsanto, the world's biggest seed company, forbids farmers from saving seeds for replanting instead of buying new ones each season. The company is battling Vernon Hugh Bowman, an Indiana farmer.
Biotechnology companies, software makers and research universities say a ruling for Bowman would weaken their patent protections. On the other side, makers of replacement auto parts and the American Antitrust Institute argue against restricting how patented products are used.
Roundup Ready
Monsanto, based in St. Louis, inserts genes into crops that let them withstand application of the herbicide Roundup. Farmers who buy so-called Roundup Ready seeds agree to restrictions on their use. Monsanto has sued 146 U.S. farmers for saving Roundup Ready soybeans since 1997, winning all 11 cases that went to trial, said Kelli Powers, a Monsanto spokeswoman.
Bowman, 76, said he complied with the rules for the spring planting of soybeans, which he bought from DuPont Co.'s Pioneer unit, a Roundup Ready licensee. For the second crop of the season, which is susceptible to low yields because of its late timing, Bowman planted beans he bought from a grain elevator. Bowman estimated he saved $30,000 for his farm.
Bowman says he did nothing wrong since there were no written restrictions on purchasing soybeans from the elevator. He contends Monsanto's patent rights expired after farmers bought the original seeds.
'Tofu Turkey'
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in September 2011 ruled against Bowman. The seed from the planting was a "newly infringing article," the court ruled in upholding an $84,456 award against him.
Several justices today suggested they agreed with that reasoning. Justice Stephen Breyer said federal patent law lets a purchaser use a product for a variety of purposes, such as making "tofu turkey" from soybeans.
"What it prohibits is making a copy of the patented invention, and that is what he did," Breyer told Bowman's lawyer.
The case, which the justices will decide by July, is Bowman v. Monsanto, 11-796.

Still image from The Country Ball 1989–2012 (2012)
Kei Kreutler: Your video The Country Ball 1989–2012 incorporates traces of your mother's drawings in a computer-generated landscape, accompanied by footage from one of your family's cookouts in the 80s. The family video has a frenetic energy, which infects the piece. There is a moment, however, in which the work seems to slow down—when tracings of figures from your mother's drawings leave the din of the family video behind—that I found very interesting. It felt similar to that sensation of leaving a show, leaving a mass of huddled bodies, where it's too loud but you don't notice until you leave, your ears ringing slightly. 3D animation seems to incorporate these changes in rhythm and narrative particularly well, so I was wondering how it influences the pacing, the loose narrative points, of your works.
Jacolby Satterwhite: The visual pace in my videos varies based on what motif or idea I am trying to assert. In Country Ball, I wanted to present a beginning, middle, that gradates. It begins with deadpan repetitive orchestra, full of folly and recreation, and a very slow camera. It evolves and collapses into an apocalyptic display of objectum-sexuality, where cumshots spew out of towering cakes, dance rituals erect trees, and ATM machines inseminate a middle class family into a giant. The camera in those scenes tends to be more erratic. I have a Walt Disney sensibility when it comes to object-perversion, animism, and anthropomorphism.

I copied this directly from the Corrlinks site. It gives easy to follow directions on how to set up an account. This allows federal inmates a great way to communicate with their family and loved ones. It does cost them money to send emails, but is free for the family and friends. the person who is incarcerated must start the process by sending you an email.
How To Use Corrlinks, Corrlinks Login And Account Setup
This is a quick 5 step guide on how to use the corrlinks system
The first thing that will happen is that you will get a email sent to your email in box that should look something like this:-
Inmate Mark, Johnson this is a system generated message
Now I will take you though the five step guide. After you send and receive your first few messages it will become second nature.
1:- Every code that is issued by Corrlinks is unique and it is imperative that you only use the code that you have been given by the system or the process will not work. When you receive your first email it will look something like this "RYUTHJG" this is the code that you will have to use to be able to sign up an inmate so that they can start to receive emails from you. You will have to do this process using the same email address that the invitation was sent to.
2:- This next bit is easy, all you have to do is make a note of the code that you were issued or you could simply copy and paster the code using your mouse of keyboard short cuts. Now click here to go to corrlinks and then follow the rest of the steps (part 3 below)
Inmate:- Mark, Johnson
This is a system generated message informing you that the above-named person is a federal prisoner who seeks to add you to his/her contact list for exchanging electronic messages. There is no message from the prisoner at this time.
Now when you receive this message you can either accept of reject and block this request. If you choose to block the inmates name then you will no longer receive any e-mails from that inmate.
Now to register with corrlinks you have to input your email and the code that was emailed to you
Email Address: firstname.lastname@example.com
Identification number RYUTHJG
This identification code will expire in 10 days
As soon as you approve the message that was sent to you this automatically means that you have given consent to the Bureau of Prisons staff to monitor every email that is sent from you to the inmate and visa versa.
Once you registered with corrlinks and you are happy to receive email messages from the prisoner then the inmate will be informed electronically
If you need any more information on about the monitoring process then you can goto bop.gov and check out there FAQ page.
3:- When you visit the corrlinks website click on the big orange button to sing up as a new user, the rest of the sign up process is very easy to follow. All you need to have is the email address that the original inmate emailed the invitation to and a unique password that you will not forget. Please ensure that when choosing a password that it has at least one upper and lower-case letter and one number for example "Billy423" or "treVor652.
4:- All you have to do now is wait between 20-40 mins for your request to be processed and approved. This part is very important; you have to go to your account manager within corrlinks to set up the inmate notification. All this is is a setting that will notify you every time you have been sent a message from an inmate.
When you are inside of your account go to "manage my inmate list" then put an X in the email alert box and that's it. Now the system is set-up to notify you every time you get mail.
This is an example of what the manage my inmate list screen should look like
5:- When you get an email from a prison inmate it will appear in your in box like thisInfo : you have a new corrlink message
When you receive this emails you can go to corrlinks and sign in and respond to the message. It will take anything up to 1hr to send and receive messages this is because the messages have to go though the monitoring system and that can take some time.

The Turkish government has exercised its censorship chops in banning Twitter in an attempt to quell distribution of anti-government recordings, and in the process has materially popularized the service, to wit: Forbes - Streisand Effect Takes Hold As Turkey Bans Twitter
In an attempt to halt widespread allegations of corruption, Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has shuttered Twitter – but so ineffectively that the number of tweets sent in the country has remained unaffected.
Last night, Erdogan announced that, following a court order, Twitter was now disabled in the country. "We'll eradicate Twitter," he said. "I don't care what the international community says. Everyone will witness the power of the Turkish Republic."
Of course, the Islamic leaning Aljazeera.com says "Twitter users ridicule Turkey ban".
Leaked recordings shared on Twitter include one in which Erdogan allegedly instructs his son to dispose of cash [AP]
Turkish and global social media users have mocked moves by Turkey's government to restrict access to Twitter.
The hashtags #TwitterisblockedinTurkey and #Turkey blockedTwitter became the top trending topics globally on Friday, just hours after the Turkish government imposed the ban.
The number of tweets from Turkey reportedly rose by 138 percent as savvy Internet users, including the country's president Abdullah Gul, found it easy to circumvent the shutdown.
"The whole world is laughing at you #ErdoganBlockedTwitter," users tweeted, as dozens of images mocking the ban - including one showing Twitter birds covering Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's head in droppings - were shared on the platform.
Another popular tweet shared a poster of the prime minister on a Barack Obama campaign poster with the message, "Yes, we ban".
Erdogan on Thursday night promised to "root out" and wipe out" the social media platform after users published claims of corruption against him.
Leaked recordings shared and linked on Twitter include one in which Erdogan allegedly instructs his son to dispose of large amounts of cash from a residence amid a police corruption probe.

Here is a PS to my earlier post on Blood Brothers, since my friend Laura recommended this recent and helpful little guide to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. It is a perfect companion for a trip to the Holy Land or even for the armchair traveler who wants to learn more about the conflict. We hear so much on the news or hear others speak on the topic, but still have so many questions and feel overwhelmed by the complexity.
Easy to read and well organized in a question and answer style, you can get through this guide in a Sunday afternoon. Bourke avoids the temptation to expand into tangents and remains dedicated to being concise and keeping things simple.
The book is purposefully unemotional and refuses to take sides. The best quote in the book is from Robi Damelin, an Israeli woman who lost her son in the conflict. She advises, "Don't be pro-Israeli. Don't be pro-Palestinian. Be pro-peace, or leave us alone."

December 6, 2012
By 2050, the racial and ethnic populations of the United States will surpass 50 percent, according to the U.S. Census.
Nonprofit organizations will be challenged to growing needs and demands for a diverse society. Taking a multicultural approach to communication will help your organization remain relevant. Cultural competency is central to changing behavior, inspiring action, and connecting with people.
In my book, "Inspire Good: Nonprofit Marketing for a Better World," I outline the basic principles that form the Circle of Multicultural Communications, with culture at its center. These can help nonprofits improve relationships, build dialogue, increase support and achieve participation.
Connect with stakeholders by understanding them. Expand your cultural lens. See the world through the eyes of your audience. Review demographic information, including consumer buying and media consumption habits, reading levels, educational backgrounds, health data, and lifestyle decisions. Search for similar needs, characteristics, and preferences. Know how ethnic and minority populations perceive and interact with your organization. Learn the history of the communities that you serve.
Based on your budget and reaching a specific audience, develop an outreach plan. Use research to craft strategies and messages that resonate. Test your messages for relevance.
Connect with stakeholders in their everyday environment. Take your message to the streets and the communities that your organization serves. Engage community leaders and influencers to help get the word out. Hold an open house and sponsor community events inviting stakeholders to start a dialogue.
Think about media and the ways your audience receives information. Review the latest consumption habits for ethnic media that serve your audience. Identify effective communication channels that will best connect.
Form a positive relationship with people by earning their trust. Be a good listener. Respect culture and tradition. Know the protocols and nuisances of working with diverse populations within their community.
Establish a track record of success by consistently delivering on your mission and promise. Communicate often and stay connected to the community. Invite participation and be responsive.
Mutually rewarding relationships grow. They get stronger over time and result in a win-win for everyone. Successful multicultural communications take commitment and resources. It's not a one-time deal, but a learning curve that requires adjustments.
Nonprofits that proactively reach out to multicultural stakeholders will be better positioned to serve the needs of a diverse population in America.

AndroForte® 5 Testosterone Cream for Men
Product Information
Testosterone replacement therapy should be initiated by a medical practitioner when relevant symptoms are accompanied by decreased testosterone levels and other factors have been excluded. The aim of therapy is to re-establish normal sexual functioning, and general mental (e.g. mood, mental acuity) and physical status (e.g. muscle mass, muscle strength, virilization) appropriate to age by the most physiological and risk-free means available.
Testosterone replacement restores serum testosterone to physiological circulating concentrations in men with hypogonadism and reverses the symptoms of androgen deficiency. Thus it is able to produce improvement in libido, increase in bone mineral density and in muscle mass, and produces favorable changes in body composition with reduction in fat mass and increase in lean body mass, improvement in mood, correction of anemia and improvement in memory performance and cognitive status. Whether testosterone therapy lessens the risk of cardiovascular disease is not established.

"To have the manufacture of a product call a customer, never happens here."
"Thank you for the call last night. It was quite the surprise and the first time I have ever spoken with anyone from the great country of Australia. In my opinion, it goes to the issue or how much care you extend to your customers."
"To have the manufacture of a product call a customer, to the best of my knowledge, never happens here in the states. For that, I congratulate you. I'm still trying to figure out how I missed not seeing the applicator, in what my wife said was on the floor in the middle of the bathroom. I only looked there about one hundred times before contacting you. Oh well. I'm just glad I have it. Again Thanks."

SICO Project- Program Agreement with the Apulia Region
Development of a Control System for Aero Engines and Aero derivatives
Operation co-financed by the European Fund for Regional Development Apulia
POR Apulia 2014 - 2020 "Investing in your future"
ASSE I - Specific Objective 1 - Action 1.1 (R & S)
Program Contract with the Apulia Region, approved by resolution CMP / DEL / 2016/00042 of 22/12/2016
If the aeroengine is the technological heart of the aircraft, the control system can be considered as the brain of the engine, equipped with sensors and actuators.
The control system manages the engine's operation in every phase of the in-flight service, avoiding the risk of stalling, combustor shutdown, over temperature conditions, over speed and over pressure. It also governs the necessary adaptations to sudden changes due to environmental conditions and the maneuvers of the aircraft, ensuring reliable performance.
Its "intelligence" lays in the control unit that, after acquiring different signals both internal and external from the engine, processes them providing the necessary instructions to change the settings. To do this, it uses a network of sensors to "understand" what happens and intervenes with the actuators in order to implement any adjustment. The actuators are driven through electric and fluid systems.
The SICO project focuses on the development of an innovative control system. The goal is the acquisition of multi-disciplinary knowledge, not available today in Apulia nor in Italy, for the creation of a comprehensive control system for aircraft engines characterized by high power and autonomy, also usable for unmanned aircraft.
The main drivers that guide the activities of the Industrial Research and the Experimental Development are:
- the reduction of fuel consumption to minimize the environmental impact and the end-user operating costs of the aircraft
- reliability, to increase the safety of passengers and the reduction of end user maintenance costs of the aircraft
- the increase of the power available for the purpose of a greater operability of the aircraft.
The project activities will be verified through an important experimental campaign that involves the design and construction of two test benches:
- the "Dry Rig" can be defined as a real-time simulator capable of simulating an aircraft engine and its accessories and will be used to test control logics;
- The "Wet Rig" allow to verify the behavior of the control system taking into account both the physical and simulated signals of the engine and accessories.
The SICO Research and Development Project - subject of the Program Agreement between Avio Aero and the Apulia Region – started in May 2016 and will last 4 years. The Avio Aero Laboratory in Bari will be the main activities site.
The loan recognized is of € 16.5 Million euro on a total of € 29.3 Million costs.
