Walter Shapiro has covered the last eight presidential campaigns and is looking forward to chronicling his ninth in 2012. Along the way, he has worked for two newspapers (USA Today and the Washington Post), two news weeklies (Time and Newsweek), two monthlies (Esquire and the Washington Monthly) and two online magazines (Salon and Slate). The only thing that mars the symmetry of these pairings is that he has so far written one book (on the 2004 Democratic primary race), but is about to get started on an Obama-themed second book.
Shapiro just completed a nearly three-year stint as the Washington bureau chief for Salon.com. He wrote more than 250 pieces for the online magazine, almost all of which blended campaign-trail reporting with commentary and analysis. He also supervised a three-person bureau and helped increase readership of the website by roughly 50 percent.
For nearly ten years ending in 2004, he wrote a twice weekly political column for USA Today. He is the author of "One-Car Caravan: On the Road with the 2004 Democrats Before America Tunes In," a chronicle of the early skirmishing for the presidential nomination, published by PublicAffairs in November 2003. Business Week called the book "witty and insightful." He was also a columnist for Slate in 1998.
Shapiro spent the first four years of the Clinton administration writing a monthly column ("Our Man in the White House") for Esquire. From 1987-93, he was a senior writer for Time and was also the magazine's correspondent covering the 1992 Clinton campaign. At Newsweek (1983-87), he was the lead political writer. He was on the reporting staff of the Washington Post from 1979-83. Prior to joining the Post, he served as a White House speechwriter for President Jimmy Carter and a special assistant and speechwriter for Secretary of Labor Ray Marshall.
His first major job in journalism was as an editor of the Washington Monthly (1972-76). He also was on the reporting staff of Congressional Quarterly (1969-70). In 1972, Shapiro ran unsuccessfully for a U.S. House seat from Michigan. He received a B.A. degree (1970) from the University of Michigan where he also did graduate work in European intellectual history.
Shapiro was a 2005 fellow at the Shorenstein Center at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. He also spent five months in Japan (1991-92) on a fellowship from the Japan Society. He is a regular speaker and guest lecturer on college campuses, having appeared within the last year at Yale University, Stanford University, NYU, the University of Virginia, American University, George Washington University, St. Anselm University, the Midwest Political Science Association and the Institute of Politics at Harvard's Kennedy School. Since 1995, Shapiro has also periodically performed standup comedy at leading New York City clubs and played the Hotel Fort Des Moines on New Year's Eve 2007-2008 on the cusp of the Iowa caucuses.
He is married to the writer Meryl Gordon, the author of the recently published, "Mrs. Astor Regrets." Shapiro divides his time between his home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and his reporting rounds in Washington.

Research shows combining dumbbells and resistance bands can increase lower-body strength three times as fast (and upper-body strength twice as quickly) as dumbbells alone. That's because the bands' elasticity challenges the muscles throughout a greater range of motion, says Gary Sforzo, PhD, a professor of exercise and sport sciences at Ithaca College. Try these moves from Keli Roberts, group fitness manager at Equinox Fitness Club in Pasadena, California, twice a week for three weeks for quick sculpting results.

Today's shirt comes from my buddy Jason M.! Another person who was around at the shows I would go to at Sound Exchange, and schoolmate and buddy of Mike Riley! The man is a legal genius, and is Breaking Down the Walls of justice on a regular basis these days, since he's a lawyer. I'm stoked he sent in this sick old YOT shirt.
Classic Youth of Today. This shirt, to me, is the best shirt ever. I acquired this gem in 1989, and I am glad that it still is hanging on to life, even if just barely. Somehow my ghetto high school had the funds to send us on a field trip from Baltimore to Philadelphia to explore that city's rich historical narrative. Unfortunately as a young white trash Lansdowne kid I was not in a position to appreciate Philly from that perspective. So I did what any hood rat worth his weight in salt would do, I ditched the group tours to engage in my own adventure. The only thing at the time saving me from a life of yo-boy disaster was the fact that I loved the Dead Milkmen. At the time, my punk rock and hard core knowledge was limited. So I went to South Street and took a walk to Zipperhead. I was completely floored by the selection of incredible shirts and music. I browsed the shop for what seemed to be an eternity, until I saw the Youth of Today shirt. I knew the name but could not have told you anything about them at the time. But there was something about that design that just drew me in. I bought a tape and the shirt. Essentially, it was that shirt that sucked me into fully to that late 80's early 90's hardcore and punk. If it was not for this shirt I would have been completely consumed by my white trash hood and would probably have grandkids today! That is clearly why this is the best shirt ever.
Unfortunately do to the condition it is in, I rarely get to take it out of the drawer. I feel as if one or two more washes it may be no more!

On 12 March 1365 Duke Rudolph IV (the 'Founder') founded the University of Vienna, 'Alma Mater Rudolphina Vindobonensis' as it has been called by literary sources. The members of this 'universitas magistrorum et scholarium' (the community of teachers and learners) were exempt from taxes and military service, they had their own dress code and jurisdiction, the latter carried out by the Rector himself.
In the course of the Reformation, starting in 1520, the University of Vienna, a 'papal institution', suffered a great loss of prestige. Due to the First Turkish Siege of Vienna in 1529, recurring epidemics, the city's economic decline, and the increasing competition between universities, the number of students sank, too.
King Ferdinand I tried to counteract this development with new reforms and started to turn the University of Vienna into a Catholic stronghold. For this purpose he installed the Jesuits there in 1551, and gave them two theological chairs. Consequently, tensions and conflicts between the Jesuit school and the University itself arose, making Emperor Ferdinand II pass the 1623 'Sanctio Pragmatica'. Thus, the Jesuits became the teachers at the theological and philosophical faculties, and the student numbers rallied. The Jesuit order was to keep its dominating position for the coming 150 years.
In the middle of the 18th century, Empress Maria Theresa ensured that the Jesuits lost a great deal of their former influence on university life as they had greatly neglected the 'secular' faculties. As both the Church and the University's own administrative bodies were eliminated, the University became an educational establishment of the state, focusing on the education of civil servants and physicians, but not on the education of scholars.
The empress's personal physician, Gérard van Swieten, was to implement the new reforms. Obviously, he focused on the medical and natural sciences. He was the one to transfer the education of the students of medicine to the patients' bedside, and he also established two new Chairs – Chemistry and Botany. In 1754, the Botanical Garden of the University of Vienna (Rennweg) was opened to the public.
Joseph II continued with the reforms of Maria Theresa, abolishing both academic jurisdiction and official attire. His laws of tolerance enabled Protestants to enrol at the University for the first time in 1778, while in 1782 Jews were admitted to the studies of Medicine and Law. Joseph II was also the one to introduce German as the compulsory language of instruction in 1783.
The year of the revolution 1848 also greatly influenced the University of Vienna. Students demanded the freedom of teaching and learning, and the end of any suppression of academic life. To this day, the most important success of their endeavours has been the – still valid – Article 17 of the Austrian Basic Law on the General Rights of Nationals: "Science and its teaching are free". Minister of Education Leo Graf Thun-Hohenstein reformed the system of tertiary education radically and invited a great number of professors to Vienna.
In 1884, Emperor Franz Joseph I inaugurated the new Main Building of the University of Vienna on Ringstrasse, which had been erected by Heinrich von Ferstel. This splendid historicist building was designed to resemble the renowned Italian Renaissance universities. However, it could never lay claim to be the central university building even in the early days, and there was never enough room for all departments. The up-and-coming Viennese Medical School required more space, and by 1915 numerous buildings had been erected in the vicinity of the Main Building to house the 'homeless' departments.
More Information: The Main Building - a Historic Centre
It was 532 years after its foundation until the University of Vienna permitted female students to enter its hallowed halls as students in 1897, even if 'only' at the Faculty of Philosophy for a start. Elise Richter – she had enrolled in Romance Languages and Literature in 1897 – was the first woman to habilitate at the University of Vienna in 1907.
The boom of the University of Vienna nosedived during the First World War: the Main Building was now used as a military hospital, with the Große Festsaal (Main Ceremonial Chamber) functioning as a dining hall and lounge, and the Kleine Festsaal (Small Ceremonial Chamber) and numerous lecture rooms as operating theatres.
During the worldwide economic crisis of the 1920s, German nationalist tendencies also started to make themselves felt on academic soil, often growing into full-blown anti-Semitism. In 1938, after the Anschluss, Austria's annexation to the German Reich, any dissenting voices are quickly silenced, the result being a kind of academic mass exodus: 45 % of all professors and senior lecturers were dismissed on political or 'racial' grounds.
By the end of the war, the Main Building had been hit by 26 bombs. The glass roof of the library's reading room was shattered. The Red Army took over the building, but on 16 April 1945 student Kurt Schubert (1923–2007, Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies) succeeded in having the University cleared, and by the end of May 1945 the summer semester lectures had started again, despite reconstruction work.
Free university admission in the 1970s triggered an educational boom and resulted in a vast expansion of the University of Vienna. Increasing numbers of students necessitated the construction of new buildings and the redevelopment of old ones: Neues Institutsgebäude (New Institute Building, NIG, 1962), University Sports Centre (Auf der Schmelz, 1973), Universitätszentrum (University Centre, UZA I, Althanstrasse, 1982)), Juridicum (Faculty of Law, 1982), Betriebswirtschaftszentrum (Business-Administration Centre[BH1] , Brünner Strasse, 1991), Vienna Biocenter (Dr.-Bohr-Gasse ,1992)), UZA II (Althanstrasse, 1995), University Campus on the premises of the former General Hospital (1998), and the Hörsaalzentrum (lecture halls' centre) on Campus (2003), Währinger Strasse29 (2012), Oskar Morgenstern Platz (2013).
With the 2002 Universities Act, all Austrian universities became autonomous, and therefore more self-dependent and performance-orientated. For the University of Vienna, this meant total re-organisation: by 1 January 2004 the Medical Faculty became a separate university. Currently, the University of Vienna comprises 15 faculties and four centres. 92,500 students can choose from more than 180 degree programmes, and 9,500 employees, 6,700 of which academic, work at more than 60 locations of the University of Vienna.
The University of Vienna celebrates its 650th Anniversary in 2015.

HIV & AIDS Health Center
Viral Load Measurement
A viral load test measures how much human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is in the blood. Viral load is first measured when you are diagnosed with HIV infection. This initial measurement serves as the baseline, and future viral load measurements will be compared with the baseline. Since viral load can vary from day to day, the trend over time is used to determine if the infection is getting worse. If your viral load shows a steady increase over several measurements, it means the infection is getting worse. If the trend in viral load decreases over several measurements, it means that the infection is being suppressed.
The viral load is measured using one of three different types of tests:
- Reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test
- Branched DNA (bDNA) test
- Nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) test
These tests measure the amount of the genetic material (RNA) of HIV in the blood. But each test reports the results differently, so it is important to use the same test over time.
Why It Is Done
A viral load measurement test is done to:
- Monitor changes in the HIV infection.
- Guide treatment choices.
- Monitor how well treatment is working.
You and your doctor may set up a different schedule for the test, but the most common schedule is the following:
- If you are not receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART), your viral load should be measured every 3 to 4 months.
- If you
are receiving antiretroviral therapy:
- A viral load measurement is taken before you start treatment. This is your baseline measurement.
- Another viral load measurement is taken 4 to 8 weeks after you start treatment to determine your response to the medicines. When you start treatment or switch to new medicines, some decrease in your viral load is expected.
- If the expected decrease in viral load occurs and your CD4+ cell count remains stable, your viral load will be measured every 3 to 6 months. The CD4+ count monitors how well your immune system is working.
Your doctor may consider your viral load measurement along with your CD4+ count to decide when to start antiretroviral therapy.
How To Prepare
You do not need to do anything before you have this test.
How It Is Done
The health professional drawing blood will:
- Wrap an elastic band around your upper arm to stop the flow of blood. This makes the veins below the band larger so it is easier to put a needle into the vein.
- Clean the needle site with alcohol.
- Put the needle into the vein. More than one needle stick may be needed.
- Attach a tube to the needle to fill it with blood.
- Remove the band from your arm when enough blood is collected.
- Apply a gauze pad or cotton ball over the needle site as the needle is removed.
- Apply pressure to the site and then a bandage.

For most businesses, the use of business cards have always been an effective marketing tool. Despite the technology that allows people to transact mostly with the help of the internet, businessmen still rely on these cards. Printing business cards aren't as tasking as it used to. In the past, if people had to go directly to scout for printing companies to have their cards printed for them; nowadays, that won't be necessary.

Last night the Boston Bruins ended the Philadelphia Flyers four-game winning. It was a big surprise to Flyers fans to let the streak end to rivals the Bruins, but what is even more surprising is that in the last 16 games the Flyers are 12-3-1 and still were snubbed by the All Star Games.
Claude Giroux was the only Flyer that made the All Star Roster. The Flyers are currently the top team in the Eastern Conference, well above the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Washington Capitals, but don't worry these fourth and fifth place teams managed fill the Roster.
Penguins superstars Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, and Marc-Andre Fleury will be onced again matched up with Washington Capitals Mike Green and Alexander Ovechkin, in case you didn't get enough of these two teams with the build up to the 2011 Winter Classic here is your chance to catch it again.
No Player is more baffled about missing the All Star Roster then one of the Flyers Leading Goal Scorers Daniel Briere. If anyone is on a scoring streak its Briere. He claimed two points last night, one assist, and the goal to give the Flyers the temporary lead over Boston with 12:19 left in the third period.
In the 5-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on January 11, Briere recorded a season high four points — which also tied a career high — with a goal and three assists. Briere knows how to bring great chemistry to the ice and deliver and follow through on his plays. Sounds like just the player you would want to see skating side by side other teams All Stars or honing his skills in the All Star skills competition.
More often than not, the NHL All Star Game doesn't get the media attention or the viewership that the league is anticipating. The NHL is trying to attract new audiences to the game but in doing so they managed to snub their current devout hockey fans.
The All Star Game is always a match up of the best players from all 30 teams on the East and the West going head to head one weekend in January. Every team was represented, so every fan of those teams was more then likely watching.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The State Emergency Response Team, in support of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), is actively participating in the Deepwater Horizon response.
Deepwater Horizon continues to discharge an estimated 5,000 barrels (210,000 gallons) per day into the Gulf of Mexico.
Currently, there are no impacts to Florida projected in the next 72 hours. The loop current is far south of the oil and there is no imminent threat that the oil will be picked up by the loop current.
However, Florida continues to make preparations to safeguard the state's shoreline.
The state of Florida reminds its residents and visitors that the state's coastline has not been impacted at this time and remains open for public enjoyment.
Should any impacts to Florida's coastline occur, these could potentially include tarballs – fragments or lumps of oil weathered into a solid consistency – oil sheen or tar mats –sheets of oil that are thicker than a sheen.
Should individuals observe any evidence of oil on Florida's coastline, they should leave the area and report the incident to 1-866-448-5816.
On Friday, May 7, 2010, BP began lowering a dome in an attempt to contain the oil discharge. The dome is roughly 125 miles offshore, southwest of Pensacola. BP also continues its efforts to drill a relief well to eliminate the discharge.

Salty Sweets by Christie Matheson
Book Review 2010
We hadn't even moved beyond the cover before we were reaching for our measuring cups and mixing bowls. We can't remember the last time we felt such a strong call of "Must make this!" in reaction to simply picking a book off the shelf! And, folks, those cupcakes on the cover are really just the beginning.
Title & Publisher: Salty Sweets: Delectable Desserts and Tempting Treats with a Sublime Kiss of Salt by Christie Matheson. Published by Harvard Common Press, 2009.
First Impressions: Once we got past those gooey cupcakes on the cover...well, it didn't get much better. Full color pictures of drool-worthy, crave-inducing treats confronted us from every other page. We were helpless to resist.
The book is a good size for propping open on the counter and the binding looks like it can handle more than a few crumbs. Each recipe gets its own page, and the ingredients and step-by-step instructions are both very clear and easy to read. An index and mini table-of-contents at the beginning of each chapter make the book easy to navigate (though all you really have to do is thumb through and stop at the first picture to catch your eye).
The Angle: Matheson explains that "salt...heightens the flavors of foods and stimulates the palate." Her cookbook shows us how well this principle applies to sweet treats, and her recipes play with that salty-sweet balance in ways that are both familiar and that take us out of our comfort zone. She goes way beyond sprinkling a pinch of salt over your caramels (though there's a recipe for those in the book, too!).
The Recipes: There's a little something for everyone in this book. She covers cookies and cakes, fruits and ice creams, even snacks that can be eaten any time of the day. There's also a good range of laid-back recipes that could be made on a lazy Saturday afternoon or fancier recipes that could star at a dinner party.
The recipes are approachable, use familiar easy-to-find ingredients, and make us feel confident going into the kitchen. We like that she gives some ideas for substitutions and ways to play with the recipe, showing how we can take her ideas and run with them.
You'll find some old favorites in here like salted caramels and peanut butter cookies, but for the most part, Matheson's recipes felt fresh and exciting (see some of our top picks below). By the time we finished going through the book, nearly half the pages in the book sported a "make soon!" sticky note.
Strengths & Weaknesses: It really seems like Matheson is presenting the idea of salty-sweet desserts in a whole new way. We felt inspired by her recipes and we're really looking forward to using some of those salts we've collected over the years in new ways. From the beautiful pictures to the recipes themselves, we think this book is a winner.
Recommended? Yes!

Oh. My. I want that book! I love the combination of salty and sweet - I can't even eat melon without tossing on a sprinkle of salt!
oh yum! i'm a salt addict... want!
Having chronically low blood pressure means I get to eat plenty of salt, and I've always loved putting coarse sea salt on top of chocolate chip and/or oatmeal cookies, so I've enjoyed quite a few recipes from this book.
I especially liked the fruit ones such as Individual Blueberry Nectarine crumbles, and Brown Sugar Apple Crisp. I did have one failure though and that was her Lemon cake with Lemon Brown Sugar Glaze, for some reason we found the salt in the glaze offputting and it ruined the taste of the cake. I thought it was too salty when warm, and made the mistake of thinking it would mellow when melted on the cake, so definitely taste and adjust as you go.
I look forward to making some of her candies and ice creams in warmer weather. And I agree the pictures and descriptions in this book are certainly crave inducing.
Oh wow! I wonder if we're related, we have the same last name :D
This is interesting. I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but I do like salty things in my sweets; I've noticed I like salt caramels, dark chocolate with sea salt, and salted choco/caramel ice cream. I didn't realize this was a trend.
Oh FINALLY! How many dessert recipes have I seen that don't add any salt at all. Sweets need salty love too.
I bought this book a couple of months ago when it appeared in my recommendations via Amazon...whatever algorthim they use - it works!
I've made a few thing so far; the first attempt was the cupcakes pictured on the cover. Unfortunately, the icing didn't work at all. I couldn't get it to the correct consistency to use as frosting but it made a great ice cream sauce!
The peanut butter cookies are sublime. Different from other recipes - no added butter and very little flour. Tender, salty, and a big peanut flavor.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
After playing both factions on many servers for long periods of time, EVERYBODY on one side thinks EVERYBODY on the other is much younger and much less mature. In the vast majority of cases, this simply isn't true.
And Fleety, I think it just takes people to pay attention regularly to the happenings of their server to notice ninjas. I've personally been in only one raid where an item of importance was ninja'd. However, if you regularly pay attention to trade chat, (or in my case anyway) every few weeks you'll see somebody post "So and so ninja'd the VoA mammoth!" or "So and so ninja'd the gbank and gquit!". I think on almost all servers, this is something that occurs at most two or three times a month across the entire server. I don't think this is any different on EU realms.

This afternoon, Mecklenburg Dems were treated to an informative presentation about the (short) history of the US budget deficit from Congressman Mel Watt (NC12).
We learned a lot, but most of all we (re)learned that facts have a well-know Liberal bias.
Follow the link for images, commentary, and the facts.
The following will appear as an editorial in the Roxboro local paper. I put out flyers this week at the high school where I work promoting a Teen Democrat meeting next week. 2012 is here.
Conservatives by definition look backwards. Unfortunately, time does not flow backwards; our children and grandchildren will live in the future, not the past.
Conyers video just called out Obama for attacking SS, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. He was plain ticked off and said so. Obama is working hard on no second term right now, abandoning his base, reneging on promises, and debranding the Demcratic Party. Frankly it is not clear that Obama regards the Democratic Party as necessary for much of anything, and post 2012 that is surely the case.
http://tinyurl.com/3gt42lq Conyers video
At another FDL posting, reported demonstration at Obama Campaign HQ in California. Reported complete lack of concern by campaign staff.
http://tinyurl.com/3cwjaxp Demonstration post FDL
Video at: http://wp.me/p3xLR-sc
All this certainly sends a message of huris, arrogance and ignorance - and this man is the titular head of the Democratic Party!
Democrats weren't too pleased this week with a trial balloon from the Obama White House that cuts (but we won't call them that) to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid may be on the table in debt ceiling talks. To preserve tax cuts for America's nouveau aristocracy, sacrifices must be made, right?
My Canadian cousin writes about China's problem with the world's largest debtor nation.
The state of North Carolina has a "rainy day fund" of approx $800 million for a budget of approx $21 billion.
Think about that figure as you consider Suze Orman's incessant advice to have an 8 month liquid emergency fund for an unforeseen financial storm.
For reference, one month is 8.3% of an annual budget.
In your personal life, do you have such a liquid emergency fund (not a retirement fund, home equity, or other less liquid assests)?
Do you think the organizations you are involved with have 67% (that's eight months times 8.3%) of their annual budget tucked away in a savings account?
Does your church? Your local charity? Your party? Are you financially responsible for any of these groups? Does your board of deacons/directors/trustees talk about it?
Here's a letter-to-the-editor that will be printed in my local paper. Permission hereby granted to use any part or all of it in letters to your hometown papers.

Although the location and room was nice I was very disappointed in the internet service. It was not strong enough to use my laptop and sign into my online classes, even when I was sitting next to the router. The hotel computer was not updated with Java or Microsoft, and no one knew the password to allow them to be updated, so I could not even do work using their computer. It was very frustrating to have to leave the family to find a local restaurant to do required work that should have been able to accomplish at the hotel.

Fewer Public Biotechs in 2010 vs 2008
Back in January 2008, we were tracking 394 "active" public biotech companies. (By "active", we mean companies that are filing with the SEC and not in bankruptcy or in a major restructuring due financial distress.) As of January 2010, we have 295 – a loss of ~25%. About 48% of the companies that are no longer "active" have been acquired and 52% have gone out of business, filed bankruptcy, or are no longer filing with Read More >
Sector Performance Since the 2007 Market Peak
How does the biotech sector performance rank against the 10 S&P sectors since the S&P500 peak back on October 9th, 2007? As of January 6th, 2010, the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) outperformed all 10 sectors, including the overall healthcare sector and the other traditionally defensive sectors: utilities and consumer staples. The AMEX Biotech Index (BTK) had some unique events in 2009 that helped it not only outperform every sector, but remain in double digit positive Read More >

Tyson Foods recalling nearly 68K pounds of chicken "wyngz"
Tyson Foods is recalling almost 68,000 pounds of chicken wings because they could contain undeclared allergens.
The products affected were labeled as Honey Barbeque Flavored Boneless Chicken Wyngz. But apparently, the buffalo-style wings were packaged as the honey barbeque variety. Those contain milk, soy and egg allergens, which are not declared on the honey barbeque label.
Customers are asked to call 1-866-328-3156.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Not so random thought
What does this word mean? Where does it originate?
Is it any wonder that this concept of satan and this guy Lucifer are demonized by people, considering their origins and what they generally stand for among most people? Centuries of being THE bad guy. Especially the last couple of centuries, thanks to pop culture and certain authors and well… stupidity. I don't know what else to call it. Religious blindness? Faith? One definition of faith, after all, is taking something as it is without question. So thanks to people's faith, they're brainwashed to take things on faith, so they never question these concepts of satan and this guy Lucifer being "The Devil" along with the whole demonizing idea.
I am not on either side of this debate, if there is any. Cats like to sit on fences, you see. I'm just meowing on my fence in the moonlight. Take this post wherever you wish. Or nowhere at all.

You are confident in your gear placements and want to push your grade, but you daren't go for it. You've got the fear of falling.
What you need to do is take a big whipper. 150ft do you? Maybe on a SCAD. What the hell is a SCAD?
A SCAD is a Suspended Catch Air Device - in short a bit like a bungee jump but without the bungee, yes you can actually free fall at 75mph into a big bouncy net. SCAD was invented by Montic, manufacturer of leisure systems, and presented for the first time in April 1997 at the world famous Neuschwanstein castle in Germany.
You can see how it all works at www.dropzoneuk.com/sd_whatis
If you fancy a go and maybe improve your lead head, there will be SCAD diving at the E2 Climbing and Adventure Activity Centre near Cardiff on Saturday 9th February.

Good Guys to spin off Web store

Toys "R" Us posts losses on Web costs, cuts ties with investorAugust 16, 1999
Barnesandnoble.com IPO up 27 percentMay 25, 1999
Beleaguered electronics retailer Good Guys will announce today it has created a new company to manage its forthcoming Web store.
The San Francisco-based retailer said GoodGuys.com will be open for business by the end of the second quarter this year. The Web store will sell high-end electronics products, targeting early adopters of technology goods, the company said.
"GoodGuys.com is a logical extension of our position as the provider of choice for customers who demand the most sophisticated high-tech consumer entertainment electronics," Good Guys chairman and chief executive Ron Unkefer said in a statement.
Good Guys becomes the latest in a string of traditional retailers attempting to cash in on the promise of e-tail sales. One of the first companies to do so, Barnesandnoble.com, completed a successful public offering last May, but has since seen its shares fall below their IPO price.
Toys 'R Us aborted plans to spin off its Web store as a separate unit, leaving partner Benchmark Capital in the lurch, but Benchmark later teamed up with upscale retailer Nordstrom on its Nordstrom.com spin off.
Good Guys' move comes as the company has struggled to right its financial ship. With 79 stores in California, Washington, Oregon and Nevada, the company has had net loses for each of the last four fiscal years. Good Guys lost $39 million on $916 million in sales in the year ended Sept. 30, 1999.
As a result of its continuing losses, Good Guys discontinued sales of increasingly low-margin computer and home office products last September. The losses also led to a management shakeup and layoffs. Last April, chief executive Robert A. Gunst and chief financial officer Dennis Carroll announced their resignations. Unkefer replaced Gunst in July.
Unkefer will serve as chairman of the new company. GoodGuys.com's headquarters will be in Portland, Ore., the company said. Good Guys will own 49.9 percent of GoodGuys.com, and will sell the remaining majority stake in the company to a collection of angel investors, venture capitalists and Good Guys management. The retailer did not specify any of the potential investors.

The Robert Long House
The oldest residential house in Baltimore City
ca. 1765
Robert Long was a merchant and entrepreneur who settled in Fell's Point. Originally from the York, Pennsylvania area, it is presumed that he moved to Fell's Point to be closer to commerce. Robert Long persuaded William Fell to sell him a parcel of property upon which to build his home. He built this home around 1765, in an architectural style better known to the Eastern Pennsylvania/Delaware region, than to Maryland.
Slated for demolition in 1969, the original members of the Preservation Society fought the City and Federal Goverment to keep the building standing. The Preservation Society acquired the property in 1975, and painstakingly researched the interior design and architectural elements. The house was lovingly restored to its colonial-era appearance.
Today the Robert Long House and Garden is a testament to community activism and courage. Even after a devastating fire in 1999, the Preservation Society rolled up it's sleeves, and the Robert Long House was once again restored to colonial splendor.
Donations are gratefully accepted to help with the maintenance and upkeep of the Robert Long House and Garden.
