A landlocked country in the heart of West Africa, Burkina Faso is a gem for those seeking "authentic" Africa. Mass tourism has had little impact here, and old traditions continue to linger. The isolated Dogon culture can be found in the northeast, while in the south, the ruins of Loropéni will delight even the most seasoned traveller.

Search For New Softball Coach Begins
Thursday, July 25, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (July 25, 2002) - East Tennessee State University has begun an immediate search for the vacant position of head softball coach. Former head coach Stephanie DeFeo announced her resignation earlier this week and has accepted the head coaching position at UNC Greensboro. ETSU Director of Athletics Todd Stansbury said he is actively moving forward in a national search process and would like to have DeFeo's replacement named by the time school begins on August 26. "My goal is to move the search process along as quickly as possible," Stansbury said. "We expect to continue to move the program forward so that we may compete at the highest level possible in the Southern Conference, and we are excited about the prospects for this upcoming season." Last season the Buccaneers garnered a team record 25 wins and will return 11 players from the 2002 roster, including standout outfielder/pitcher Tiffany McVay (formerly Tiffany Vandergriff) of Soddy-Daisy, Tenn., and freshmen sensations Danielle Spetar (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Lindsay Lane (Erwin, Tenn.). McVay had a breakthrough season in 2002 setting single-season marks for runs scored (32), hits (48), total bases (77), walks (24) and stolen bases (16). Spetar was named All-Southern Conference after smashing a Buc record eight home runs while Lane set the new team RBIs record with 29.

Dose Response Assay Background and Significance:
Ras and related small molecular weight GTPases function in the regulation of signaling and cell growth, and collectively serve to control cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis [Tekai et al. 2001; Wennerberg et al. 2005]. The Ras-related GTPases are divided into four subfamilies with the Rab proteins regulating membrane transport, Rho proteins (including Rac and Cdc 42) regulating cytoskeletal rearrangements and responses to signaling, Arf/Sar proteins regulating membrane and microtubule dynamics as well as protein transport, and Ran proteins controlling nucleocytoplasmic transport. This project focuses on representative Ras, Rho, and Rab family members to validate the approach for the identification of new chemical compounds with novel therapeutic potential in cell signaling and growth control.
Ras and Ras-related GTPase functions are tightly regulated, and dysregulation is causal in a wide variety of human diseases. Ras mutations resulting in impaired GTP hydrolysis and plasma membrane hyperactivation are linked to many human cancers [Farnsworth et al. 1991; Sukumar et al. 1983; Taparowsky et al. 1982; Boylan et al. 1990; Hruban et al. 2004; Abrams et al. 1996]. Point mutations in the Rab and Rho GTPases are also causal in diverse human diseases affecting pigmentation, immune, and neurologic functions [Houlden et al. 2004; Verhoeven et al 2003; Williams et al. 2000; Bahaderan et al. 2003; and preliminary findings]. Rab and Rho mutants identified in human disease act as dominant negatives either due to a failure to bind GTP or due to inappropriate coupling of the active proteins with downstream effectors. To date, inhibition of Ras and Ras-related proteins has relied largely on altering membrane recruitment with various drugs affecting prenylation [Morgillo F and Lee HY, 2006; Russell RG, 2006; Park, et al. 2002]. Generally, Ras proteins must be farnesylated for proper membrane localization, while Rab and Rho proteins are geranylated. Such strategies lack specificity and are problematic because each of these prenylation machineries is required for the proper function of many Ras superfamily members. Rational drug design has only recently been applied to identify the first two small molecule inhibitors of Rho GTPase family members [Gao, et al. 2004; Nassar et al. 2006]. Therefore, broadly testing the Ras-related GTPases as targets for small molecule inhibitors and activators is expected to identify new classes of compounds that may be useful in the treatment of human disease, as well as in unraveling the molecular details of how Ras-related GTPases function.
The primary HTS assay was a no-wash fluorescent GTP-binding assay adapted to multiplexed, high-throughput measurements whereby multiple GTPases were simultaneously screened against the MLSCN library. The specificity is based on the observation that individual GTPases including wt and activated forms exhibit measurably distinct affinities for Bodipy-FI-GTP vs GTP. The assay involves the binding of fluorescent GTP to G protein-GST fusion proteins on GSH beads. A set of six G proteins (Rac 1 wt, Rab7 wt, Rac 1 activated, Ras wt, Rab 2 wt, Cdc42 wt) are arrayed under conditions of divalent molecule depletion. The primary screen was performed in 384-well format with 194,656 compounds at a compound concentration of 10 microM to identify 398 potential small molecule inhibitors of each of these GTPases
Compounds that satisfied hit selection criteria in the primary screen (change in % activity greater than 20% from baseline) were evaluated via dose response to confirm activity and determine potency. The active compounds from these dose responses were then used to develop structure activity relationships for the different GTPases.
Based on the original Cdc42 selective inhibitor MLS000693334 a series of 1, 3, 5-substituted pyrazolines was investigated via SAR by commerce. The sulfonamide of the original hit was found to be crucial for activity and synthesis was planned and executed by the University of Kansas Specialized Chemistry Center around this pyrazolinyl-benzenesulfonamide substructure. Modifications included functional group substitution of the 1, 3, 5-phenyl substituents, replacement of the 3-phenyl substituent with alkyl or heteroaryl-groups, and conversion of the central heterocycle to the fully unsaturated pyrazole.
Bead sets are coated with individual GST-small G proteins, blocked with Buffer (0.01% NP-40; 30mM HEPES pH 7.5; 100mM KCl; 20mM NaCl; 1mM EDTA; 0.1% BSA and 1mM DTT), incubated overnight at 4 degrees C, and finally washed in buffer. The different bead sets, acquired from Duke Scientific, have similar size (~ 4 microm diameter) however they are distinguished by varied magnitude of emission at 665 +/-10 nm with excitation at 635 nm.
Test compounds were serially diluted 1:3 eight times for a total of nine different test compound concentrations in DMSO. Final compound dilutions in DMSO ranged from 1 microM to 10mM. These dilutions were then diluted 1 to 100 to give an assay concentration range of 10 nanoM to 100 microM.
The assay is conducted in 384-well microplates in a total well volume of 10.1 microliters (5 microliters of bead mixture, 0.1 microliters of test compound, and 5 microliters of 200nanoM Bodipy-FL-GTP in buffer containing BSA and DTT for a final concentration of GTP of 100nanoM). Positive Controls, which contain bead mixture and fluorescent GTP but no test compound, are located in columns 1 and 2 on plate. Negative Controls containing bead mixture with fluorescent GTP and 0.5 mM unlabeled GTP, are collected from a separate test tube. Plates are placed on rotators and incubated for 40-45 minutes at 4 degrees C. Dose response experiments reported here include one multiplex format for: Rab7 wt, Rab2 wt, H-Ras wt, H-Ras constitutively active, Cdc42 wt, and Cdc42 constitutively active, and 2 single-plexes for: Rac1 wt and Rac1 constitutively active.
Sample acquisition and preliminary analysis is conducted with the HyperCyt(R) high throughput flow cytometry platform. The HyperCyt system interfaces a flow cytometer and autosampler for high-throughput microliter volume sampling from 384-well microtiter plates [Kuckuck, et al., 2001; Ramirez, et al., 2003]. The stream of particles is excited at 488 nm and 635 nm, and flow cytometric data of light scatter and fluorescence emission at 530 +/- 20 nm (FL1) and emission at 665 +/- 10 nm (FL8) are collected on a Cyan Flow Cytometer (Dako). Analysis of the time-resolved acquisition data file uses IDLeQuery/HyperView software to merge the flow cytometry data files with compound worklist files generated by HyperSip software. Gating based on forward scatter (FS) and side scatter (SS) parameters is used to identify singlet bead populations. Gating based on FL8 emission distinguishes the beads coated with different proteins, and the green median fluorescence intensity (MFI) per bead population (well) is calculated. The raw data are parsed in IDLeQuery/HyperView to produce annotated fluorescence summary data for each well. The parsed data are then processed through an Excel template file constructed specifically for the assay to fit the data via GraphPad Prism.
In dose response experiments, the percent response was calculated for each GTPase target by the following equation:
%Response = (SampleMFI - NCntrl)/(PCntrl - NCntrl)
where SampleMFI is the median fluorescence intensity of the compound sample, NCntrl is the median fluorescence intensity measured in the presence of access blocking non-fluorescent GTP, and PCntrl is the median fluorescence intensity measured in the presence of DMSO. The %Response was 100% for compounds not affecting the binding of Bodipy-FL-GTP, and greater than 100% if the compound increased the binding of Bodipy-FL-GTP and less than 100% if the compound decreased the binding of Bodipy-FL-GTP.
The % response values for the entire concentration range of a test compound were fitted by Prism(R) software (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, CA) using nonlinear least-squares regression in a sigmoidal dose response model with variable slope, also known as the four parameter logistic equation. Curve fit statistics were used to determine the following parameters of the model: EC50, microM - concentration of added test compound competitor that inhibited fluorescent ligand binding by 50 percent; LOGEC50 - the logarithm of EC50; TOP - the response value at the top plateau; BOTTOM - the response value at the bottom plateau; HILLSLOPE - the slope factor, or the Hill coefficient; STD_LOGEC50, STD_TOP, STD_BOTTOM, STD_HILLSLOPE - standard errors of LOGEC50, TOP, BOTTOM, and HILLSLOPE ; EC50_95CI_LOW, EC50_95CI_HIGH - the low and high boundaries of the 95% confidence interval of the EC50 estimate, RSQR - the correlation coefficient (r squared) indicative of goodness-of-fit.
Assessment of the validity of the estimates from the Prism fits was filtered via the following criteria:
- -8 < LOGEC50 < -4 (the computed EC50 value should be in the interval of tested concentrations)
- STD_LOGEC50/|LOGEC50| <0.15 (the standard error of LOGEC50 should be no greater than 15% of the absolute value of LOGEC50)
- 0.5 < |HILLSLOPE| < 2 (the absolute value of HILLSLOPE should be higher than 0.5 and lower than 2)
For compounds with significant inhibitory affects (i.e., Hillslope < 0), Ki values were calculated from the EC50 values based on the following equation:
Ki = EC50/(1 + [Bodipy-FL-GTP]/Kd
where [Bodipy-FL-GTP] is the assay concentration of fluorescently labeled GTP of 100 nanoM and Kd is the specific targets affinity for GTP. In-house determination of the different Kds are as follows: Rac wt 10.3 nanoM, Rab7 wt 7.0 nanoM, Cdc42 act 18.3 nanoM, Cdc42 wt 26.8 nanoM, Ras wt 18.5 nanoM, Rab2 wt 6.8 nanoM, Ras act 8.0 nanoM. Note that this equation is theoretically only applicable to dose response curves of absolute value of Hillslopes equal to 1, however the calculations of Ki's reported did not take into account the Hillslope.
PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE were calculated based on an EC50 cutoff of 30 microM, by using the following equations:
And compounds were demeaned active if the EC50 is equal to or less than 30 microM and the span of the %Response is greater than or equal to 25%. Span is the magnitude of %Response change over the tested concentration range based on either fitted values of TOP minus BOTTOM or from %Response values at lowest to highest concentration.
An active compound have a PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE greater than 0.

At this point, which QB would you rather have KC draft in 2013?
2011: Robert Griffin III
2010: Cam Newton
2009: Mark Ingram
2008: Sam Bradford
2007: Tim Tebow
2006: Troy Smith
2004: Matt Leinart
2003: Jason WHite
2002: Carson Palmer
2001: Eric Crouch
2000: Chris Weinke
Smith's stock is not dropping. He's the top QB in this draft. He's accurate, throws a deep ball, and is athletic enough to use his feet to make plays.
I mean, I don't get how 50% of the people on this site (at least it seems like that) DON'T want to draft THE BEST QB IN THE DRAFT. The Chiefs haven't had a quarterback they drafted win a game since 1987 in Todd Blackledge. Coincidentally, they haven't drafted a 1st round quarterback since Blackledge. They haven't won a playoff game since 1993, and yet everyone is fine w/ getting a quarterback w/ less talent in the 2nd round? Is this real life? Do we really just want to continue sucking year in and year out because we continue to ignore the most important position on the field?
I'm sorry, I just can't understand the logic of some here.
On one hand we have a Chiefs team that has 8, yes 8 touchdown passes in 12 weeks compared to 16 interceptions.
Then we have the fact that this team averages 15.7 points per game (2nd worst in the league next to Arizona at 15.5). They went from week 5 to week 12 and scored only 3 touchdowns.
But yes, let's bring in a linebacker that everyone is hyping up because his team is playing in the national championship and he's a heisman candidate, and draft a quarterback later in the draft, from a pool of candidates that is admittedly "weak." That makes no sense, especially when you have the most talented option (Geno) available for your taking. Matt Ryan, by the way, also wasn't a highly coveted can't miss prospect. Do you think the Dolphins are kicking themselves for drafting Jake Long instead?
If you don't read anything else in this post, please read this: It especially doesn't make sense to draft a linebacker because that position is increasingly being phased out as teams go more pass heavy. Think of it this way, Te'o is only going to play on obvious running situations. Why is that? Because as teams bring out 3/4 WR personnel, the Chiefs have to counter by bringing out their Nickel CB. So who do you take off the field? Pass rushers Houston/Hali? NO. Derrick Johnson? NO. Te'o won't even be a 3-down player for this defense folks!
Geno is the closest thing to a franchise QB in this draft. There is absolutely zero reason to risk missing out on a franchise QB (a foreign term to this franchise and it's fans) so we can take a middle linebacker.

Out of those 12, maybe 3 stand out as franchise QB's. Do you really trust Pioli (Cassel - FAIL) to make this decision? I say NO. With the 1st pick, just draft the BPA. I don't see any Mannings, Ryans, Lucks, RG3s in this draft. If Pioli/Crennel are relieved of their duties, only then would I be open to Geno Smith.

Yeah because every heisman candidate has never been a bust. Please.
Chiefs Crowd still doesn't understand the need to take risk, we have to. Every super bowl champion since the 2005 season has done it. We are ABSOLUTELY FINE at the linebacker position, we don't need Teo. We need a quarterb

We were given a new fibreglass door but it is RH instead of LH. How do we change the window so it will be facing the right direction?

I think I understand what you are after... Is what you are saying is that the out side of the door is now on the inside and vice-versa? Many Fiberglass doors do look the same on both sides and have decoritive windows that look different from the inside verses the outside. If this is the case the window should be held in the door with a series of philips head screws. you should be able to unscrew the window and turn it around. Sometimes the screws are covered with little plastic buttons that match the plastic frame molding that is around the window, just pry them out and you should be able to reverse the window.

I drilled the bottom bottles to the wooden frame and then placed the top part of the bottle filled with the soil and seeds. this way you only need to fill the bottle as and when you need it. its really a cool idea. thanks to "bottle Herb garden", Jack.
The smaller 1/2L water and soda bottles would make a very compact herb garden to sit on a window ledge...
An idea for anyone not liking the raw look of the plastic bottles: hot glue some sheet moss to them. It will also help to prevent algaenation in the soil (that green growth in the soil due to light exposure).
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this!
My point is that ideally the surface treatment will not be porous.
The surface treatment is not porous.When you decoupage using paper or fabric it is sealed with a sealant like mod podge.Give it a couple of coats at least. If you are leaving it out in the sun, use outdoor podge. Use polyurethane after the podge coating if you want a stronger sealant .Please wait for it to dry completely between coats. It is now water proof .
As for how often I water - depends on the plant.When you feel it's drooping, leave the container in a bowl with water coming a little above the hole on the side. Water will seep in through the hole .
I did sent an instructable with pictures explaining the method but it doesn't seem to have gone thru. Will try once again.Meanwhile I hope this makes sense.Please read my comment given on April 3,2011.
Regarding decoupage, is polyurethane expensive to use as a coating? Would something like a soda can or other canned food can be cheaper or better in any way?
Actually the plants in this instructable are also going to be root bound, but such are the tradeoffs one makes using what containers are available and you can just use more containers for more crop yield. With some it won't matter as much, for example cilantro will bolt in only a couple weeks of warm(er) weather so you want to harvest it before that happens and changes the flavor of the leaves, meaning it doesn't get a chance to grow very large in warmer climates. It likes to grow deep roots though so ideally more of the length of the pots would be left on when cutting the bottles.
Forgot to mention that my next project is hanging pots with two litre bottles. Similar to the ones shown in the picture, but each bottle to be slipped into a bag with a draw string gathering the bottom part round the narrow mouth of the bottle and a handle on the wide top. Plan to hang them from my balcony rail. Shall try Strawberries this time !!!Thanks for the idea
I have also found that using the bottle caps instead of stones to stop the water from washing the soil out works really well too!
I live in a major city and have a tiny space for gardening so was looking for a good method of making a vertical garden.
I'm thinking I'm going to try and cut the bottom off the mismatched socks I have in my laundry room and stretch them over the bottles to shade the roots. Hopefully they won't be too tight and "squish" the bottles.
Nice instructable! Thanks for sharing!

Gabled LEED Platinum Newcomer House in Georgia Cost Just $125 per Square Foot
We would need about 5 pages to list all of this project's awesome eco-credentials, so we'll stick with a few of the major highlights. Not only does the Newcomer house use the same amount of energy as a home 1/3 of its well-disguised 2,632 foot size, but the glass-clad front gable and large windows allow all kinds of light to penetrate the interior without too much solar gain.
Clad in Tennessee fieldstone, stucco and white clapboard in keeping with the southern cottage style so prevalent in the region, the home also boasts reclaimed heart pine floors and fixtures made from salvaged barn wood. Extreme air tightness and insulation combined with a reflective roof and energy star windows further ensure that this home will never usurp more than its fair share of energy resources. Water is solar-heated, and a low emissions wood burning stove keeps the house warm in winter. This is only the 7th home in Georgia to receiving the USGBC's platinum confidence!

Thank you, Juan, for your kind words. As for whether such a house could be built for the same amount in the northeast, unfortunately, I think it would be difficult. I don't think the material costs would be too much more, but labor and land costs are probably a good bit higher than they are here. I know that the 100K LEED Platinum house was built in Philadelphia, so they mananged to do it. You just need to simplify other aspects of the design and finishes. I've heard it said that incorporating many of the "green" and energy-savings measures could add about 5% to the cost of standard construction. I think that is probably a pretty safe estimate. 5% factored into a 30 year mortgage really isn't that much. Especially when you factor the monthly savings in utilities. Many say that the utilities savings will completely offset that slight increase in your mortgage. I hope that helps…..

It really is a remarkable design considering the context. Lori's work is really starting to turn heads in Athens and the Southeast.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Toots and the Maytals, originally called simply The Maytals, are a Jamaican musical group and one of the best known ska and reggae vocal groups. According to Sandra Brennan at Allmusic, "The Maytals were key figures in reggae music. Formed in the early 1960s when ska was hot, the Maytals had a reputation for having strong, well-blended voices and a seldom-rivaled passion for their music. Frontman Hibbert's soulful style led him to be compared to Otis Redding".

I've been using gbCodeLib for a while now, but I cannot help but wonder if there might not be something else. It works well enough, but it's not portable. So I'm wondering what, if anything, the rest of you prefer - and why, of course . Portability would be important, but not necessarily a killer. Yeah, I could find any number via search, but I really don't want to go through eleventy-seven programs when I can find more appropriate - and effective - opinions here .
Edit: nice to have pre-populated stuff, but mostly for mine own devises .

Today's Track of the Day gives me a chance to scratch an entry off my summer backlog. Dreamin' Wild was the only LP released by brothers Donnie and Joe Emerson—first in 1978, and then earlier this summer in a handsome reissue package by Light in the Attic. The brothers grew up in rural Washington and recorded the album in their home studio, a plot of farmland their father reportedly spent $100,000 converting into a usable recording space. 17-year-old Donnie wrote and produced the record, while 19-year-old Joe contributed the drums (just about everything else is Donnie). (The LA Times goes into more detail about the Emerson family, if you're curious.) Don, Sr. also paid for the construction of Camp Jammin', a performance venue on the Emerson family farm with a capacity of 300 and all the comforts of a rock club that doesn't happen to be way the hell out in the middle of nowhere. Needless to say, the album—and Camp Jammin'—didn't reach its audience as intended; the Emerson family lost most of their 1600-acre farm as a result.
Yet in the past five years, Dreamin' Wild has attracted increasing attention among the thrift-store and mix-tape set, likely due in no small part to the record's unusual outsider-art-meets-AM-pop vibe. Ariel Pink's been stanning for the Emersons for a few years now and covered their "Baby" on his latest album. You be the judge. Regardless, it's a record that deserves the attention, so check it out if you like what you hear.

Dateline: Silverstone, UK, July 10, 2011
The grid for the British Grand Prix is neatly book-ended. There is an Australian on pole position in the shape of Mark Webber in the #2 Red Bull Renault. At the very back, in 24th place, is the #22 HRT Cosworth, occupied by Australian Daniel Ricciardo.
The gritty Webber is about to start his 166th Grand Prix; for the ever-smiling Ricciardo, it is his F1 debut. It is also the first time in almost a quarter of a century that a Grand Prix starting line-up has contained two Australian drivers.
Fast forward two-and-a-half years. On the grid for the first race of F1's brave new era in Melbourne on March 16, Ricciardo will sit in the Red Bull Renault vacated by his countryman at the end of 2013.
The West Australian may never develop a gift for Webberisms, those pithy statements Mark became rightly famous for, but he does have a nice line in understatement.
"This is definitely a step in the right direction," he opined when the news of his elevation from Scuderia Toro Rosso to Red Bull's senior team was announced.
Right direction? That's like saying the top of Everest is a decent step up in the world, as Ricciardo prepares to represent the team that has won both Drivers' and Constructors' titles for the past four years.
Dan's elevation to a Red Bull seat came about partly because of his consistent pace in the Toro Rosso in 2013, when he was a regular participant in Q3, and partly as a stroke of luck.
Webber announced he was leaving F1 at the end of the season just before the 2013 British Grand Prix. A change of plans then opened up Pirelli's planned young driver test soon after that race to established F1 drivers and Ricciardo got the chance to impress the Red Bull hierarchy as they began their search for a replacement.
Dan grabbed it with both hands, setting the embarrassment of an early 'off' behind him as he powered to second place in the three-day test behind… Red Bull's #1 Sebastian Vettel.
In the end the fresh-faced Ricciardo got the nod over early favourite Kimi Raikkonen, who will race for Ferrari instead this year.
"He's got all the attributes that are required to drive for our team," said Red Bull's Christian Horner of Ricciardo. "He's got great natural ability, he's a good personality and a great guy to work with."
Whether it was his 2013 speed that got him the nod or his long-term relationship with Red Bull, and the need for Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz to vindicate their whole program, remains a moot point.
But two questions arise: how will Ricciardo stand up to comparison with Vettel, and where will he stand within the team?
"It will be a great challenge to race alongside Sebastian," said Dan diplomatically, and he's not wrong: the Australian has yet to stand on a Grand Prix podium while Seb has been there no fewer than 62 times, a remarkable 39 of those being visits to the top step.
As for the team, how will they view things if Ricciardo wins – as he has said he plans to do –in 2014? Will that be a feather in his cap, a vindication of the Red Bull driver program – or will it be perceived as a threat to their favourite son?
Ricciardo already enjoys a better relationship with Vettel's mentor and Mateschitz's right-hand man Helmut Marko as 'Dr Marko', a sign of respect that was never forthcoming from his Aussie predecessor in the team.
And it was Marko who took the hint when his scouts tipped him off about a new young Aussie looking to make a name for himself in Formula Renault in Italy in 2007.
For Ricciardo, that move had been a calculated risk. After starting in Formula BMW Asia with the Eurasia team in 2006, finishing third overall, Ricciardo went to Italy, not because of his family's connections there but because they knew Red Bull were interested in the category Dan was joining.
It worked: he has been a Red Bull man since 2008, when he won the Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup. The next season he did what Webber hadn't been able to do, winning the prestigious British F3 title with Carlin; he was runner-up in Formula Renault 3.5 in 2010; and in 2011 Red Bull placed him at HRT mid-year to gain experience ahead of greater things.
"It forced me to learn quickly," said Dan of that 11-race stint with the ill-fated Spanish team. By 2012 he was a Toro Rosso driver and he showed how well he had learned when he scored his first world Championship points on debut for the team in the Australian Grand Prix at season's start.
"I don't really know how that happened!" he confessed after a last-lap lunge carried him past team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne and into ninth place. "The last few laps were crazy and I was pushing like hell."
He'll have to do the same to match his new team-mate in 2014. If, as expected, Adrian Newey's 2014 car is the cream of the new-look F1 crop, Ricciardo's trademark smile could be bigger than ever.
Then again, if Vettel continues in his current vein, by season's end it could be wearing thin…

Income Withholding
Income withholding orders are sent automatically to employers if the obligor's employer is known. No delinquency in support is required. Once the notice is received by the employer, the employer must send payments to the Division of Child Support no later than 7 working days after payday. If current support and past due support is owed, the amount of the withholding is 120% of the current monthly support amount. However, not more than 50% of net income can be withheld per month. Amounts paid over the monthly support amount are applied to the arrears. Income withholding orders are sent by the Division of Child Support and the process may take up to 45 days for payments to begin.
The only objections to income withholding are an error in the amount of support owed or an error in the identity of the Obligor. To object, please send objections to the Marion County District Attorney, Family Support Division, P.O. Box 14500 Oregon Building, 494 State Street, Suite 445, Salem, OR 97309.
The only exception to income withholding is on cases that have never had an arrearage if both parties agree in writing to automatic withdrawal of support from the obligor's bank account. This is called "Electronic Payment Withdrawal, EPW". There are no exceptions to income withholding initiated because of an arrearage now or in the past. Contact our office to obtain forms if you think you qualify.

Ever wondered if microchips are worth it? If you ask Amanda L., they sure are! Here's her story:
We adopted our cat Dempsey in January 2007 from the Houston SPCA. Dempsey is the smartest cat we've ever met. He plays fetch, drinks water from the faucet and follows you everywhere.
So we were heartbroken when, shortly after a moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 2010, we lost Dempsey. We put up fliers, stayed up at night listening for him and searched the neighborhood for weeks, but with no luck.
We moved to New York City the following year but never stopped thinking about Dempsey and wondering where he could be and whether he was even alive.
Then, one Saturday while we were sitting in the park reading, we received an email from a vet in Ann Arbor—they found Dempsey!
An amazing woman had noticed him around her yard all summer and had been feeding him and looking out for him. They had warmed to each other, and so she decided to take him to a vet to see if he belonged to anyone. The first thing the vet did was scan him and they found our information. It was almost exactly two years to the day since we had lost Dempsey. We still cannot believe it!
Dempsey is currently recuperating with his grandparents in Michigan, and we are going to see him soon. We owe our reunion with Dempsey entirely to the kindness of a stranger and his microchip. We are so thankful that we have him back in our lives!

Best Supporting Actor: John Malkovich, Secretariat
Directed by Randall Wallace
Rated PG
Runtime: 123 mins
The role of Lucien Laurin, the veteran trainer who helps Penny Chenery (Diane Lane) groom her racehorse for Triple Crown immortality, is the ideal channel for Malkovich's trademark quirkiness. But the actor also radiates immense capability and horse sense.
We Also Loved: Geoffrey Rush, The King's Speech; Kevin Costner, The Company Men; Bill Murray, Get Low; Ben Kingsley, Shutter Island.

This cream works very well but it's a little too fluid-like for my preference.
Great product plus quick delivery
I have been using this product for almost 10 years and won't ever use anything else. It is thick enough for deep tissue, but has the perfect glide for effleurage. Lotions tend to absorb too quickly and jam your wrists. This one has the perfect balance between a lotion and oil but never leaves a greasy residue. My clients all love it. Best product on the market, worth the price!!!
Great lotion and we love it
This cream is very thin and doesn't seem to go as far as others. I have used. I live in a very dry climate and it soaks in pretty fast compared to other creams. However, it smell really good and clients seem to like it!

Newt Gingrich had a lot to say as he made his talk show rounds on Sunday.
He accused President Obama of "declaring war on the Catholic Church." He called Mitt Romney "pro-abortion," "pro-gun control" and "pro-tax increase." He defended his lunar ambitions. And he said he would be "very competitive" in the delegate count, after Texas votes in April.
Santorum also spoke out, attacking both Romney and Gingrich. And so did Ron Paul, complaining that low turnout contributed to his performance—and that Nevada was still too early to call on Sunday morning when it came to second-place.
Conspicuously absent was Romney, who won big in Florida and Nevada and now faces a very friendly February elections calendar leading up to Super Tuesday. Such is the case for a frontrunner whose momentum is gaining: the numbers start to speak for themselves.
—Glen Justice
Romney's Victory Sweeps Many Demographics
Mitt Romney ran up big margins across a wide swath of demographic groups, including Catholics, Protestants, Evangelicals and Mormons. He also won big with conservatives and even tea party voters, as National Journal's Steven Shepard reports.
Are Gas Prices the New Attack on Obama? (Gingrich Seems to Think So) NEW!
As unemployment continues to tick downward, Republicans are searching for messages other than joblessness with which to bludgeon President Obama, as National Journal's Shane Goldmacher reports. On Sunday, Newt Gingrich hinted at such a new line of attack: Gas prices.
Late Nevada Caucus Draws Complaints
A late caucus opportunity set up for Jewish and Seventh-day Adventist voters who couldn't come earlier in the day angered some non-religious voters who were turned away.
In This Race, Children are Everywhere
Unlike years past, this election cycle is notable for the number of candidate offspring directly involved in the campaigns, providing a ready supply of blood-loyal surrogates, as National Journal's Matt Vasilogambros reports.
Gingrich: 'Competitive' in Delegates After Texas
Gingrich suggested his path to the nomination runs through the South, which won't vote again until Super Tuesday in March.
Gingrich: Romney is 'Pro-Abortion,' Pro-Gun Control,' Pro-Tax Increase'
Gingrich lashed out at Romney on Sunday with another barrage of liberal characterizations, after Romney won big in Nevada.
Gingrich Says Obama 'Declared War on the Catholic Church'
Gingrich attacked the Obama administration's policy that requires church-affiliated employers to cover birth control in their health plans.
Gingrich Defends Lunar Ambitions
He won't give it up, despite ridicule: Gingrich said his talk of a Moon colony was "not a slip."
Paul: Too Soon to Call Nevada
Ron Paul insisted that because of the "chaos" in the Nevada caucuses and because all the votes are not yet fully counted, the caucuses may turn out better for him than originally thought, as National Journal's Alexandra Jaffe reports.
Santorum: Romney 'Doesn't Create the Contrast'
Santorum slammed both Romney and Gingrich in an attempt to manage the fallout of his last-place finish in Nevada.
Obama, Romney Hold Super Bowl Events in Indiana—PICTURES NEW!
Heavy-hitters in the sports and political worlds will attend both parties, including New York Jets owner Woody Johnson (Romney) and Reggie Love (Obama).

Sin City offered a theatric background for a dramatic caucus night. Here, a slideshow of some of the more unusual aspects of Las Vegas political theater.

Gingrich Patron Could Have a Plan B: Romney
[New York Times, 2/4/12] Though he has a long-standing relationship with Newt Gingrich, billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who has given a super PAC supporting Gingrich millions in donations, is considering backing Romney, The New York Times reports.
Analysis: Romney Win Leaves Rivals Few Options
[Associated Press, 2/5/12] The AP's Beth Fouhy writes that Romney's first-place showing in Nevada makes it difficult for his rivals to continue to argue that he's not the candidate Republican voters want for their nominee.
Nevada Caucuses 2012: 5 Takeaways
[Politico, 2/5/12] The outcome of the Nevada caucuses revealed a number of things, including the fact that Ron Paul's organization isn't as strong as expected, Politico reports.
Paul: Focus On Delegates, Not 'Must-Win' States
[Wall Street Journal, 2/4/12] Paul says he's concentrating on racking up enough delegates to have a voice at the Republican National Convention rather than looking for wins in pivotal states.
Gingrich Campaign Offers Detailed Plan to Carry On
[Washington Post, 2/5/12] In intense strategy meetings in Nevada this past week, Gingrich's campaign came up with a strategy for the rest of the campaign trail that is based on winning precise numbers of delegates and focuses on the South
Gingrich Plots His Comeback
[Newsweek, 2/6/12] Gingrich may be down but he refuses to get out, and the former House Speaker may even fight harder than before with the odds stacked against him.
Paul Has Plans for Romney
[The Daily Beast, 2/5/12] If Ron Paul can amass enough voters to have a voice at the Republican National Convention, he plans to use it to whisper in Romney's ear.
3 Takeaways From Romney's Nevada Blowout
[BuzzFeed, 2/5/12] BuzzFeed's McKay Coppins writes that Nevada undermined its first-in-the-West standing, and two other lessons learned from Saturday night's caucuses.
Super Bowl Ads and Politics NEW!
[Politico, 2/5/12] Much to the candidates' chagrin, there's a veritable blackout for political ads during the Super Bowl — they'll miss out on the millions of eyeballs trained on the Giants-Pats game. But political advocacy groups and one fringe candidate have pushed to get their ads up during the event. Over the years, some have made it on air, and The Hill has a list of the most controversial.

Comments On Feb 07, 2015:I accidentally bought a facemask instead of a baklava. Review your order! But it fits nicely. I have used it when it is cold out, but it doesnt work with a full face helmet as it slides down when you put your helmet on. Oh well. I've ordered a similar baklava to wear under my helmet in the winter.
Additional Comments On Feb 07, 2015:I meant balaclava not baklava. You can't wear a pastry on your head while riding an ATV helmet or not. Review your review for typos!

iBITE: Holiday Moment with Terry Reid
So my dear new friend and business partner John Felix (who has an amazing story himself) recently got married. Surprise wedding at his mothers beautiful home. Told everyone it was an engagement party and did the deed with no one expecting it. Beautiful people, beautiful house, beautiful setting, spread and...music.
I just met this cat, Terry.Liked him right away. He clowned me on my name in a friendly way, and BTW later gave me mad respect for my name, and we just hit it off. He had this edge to him. Street. I knew he was an artist. English brutha. He just carried himself in that way you wish you were. Ya know?
John had asked me to bring my cameras. I don't have anything special. Just a Flip and a couple of canons..My style is to show up double fisted and just film and shoot. Doesn't matter what I catch. Well I ended up getting some amazing footage of the night...one of which was early on. I walked into this room and there Terry was playing one of the most beautifully beat up acoustic guitars I've seen...and he was singin this christmas tune with so much soul...well, hey, check it out yourself.
This was totally spontaneous. He ended up being Music Icon Terry mutha fuckin Reid...imagine that. this one is going in my archives. I got some great footage with him. I'll post more later. its going to be part of my new deliberately random series, iBite..candid and real with creators.
Anyways, Bla. Listen to this...sorry for having to hear my stupid ass voice reacting to his music..I had no idea, I wasn't prepared. I had tears from the power of the music that night. Good times
Terry mutha fuckin Reid
Re: iBITE: Holiday Moment with Terry Reid
I wanna add I loved my time with Terry...He kissed me on the cheek at the end of the night because I was giving him big ol bear hugs all evening. I couldn't help it. The whole night was so real and awesome..I'm so stoked I was apart of everything that day. I had to let the people know who were around me.lol
Don't tell nobody I'm a softy.
Re: iBITE: Holiday Moment with Terry Reid
