We've seen it twice before in Formula 1. One driver winning four world titles in a row, that is: Juan Manuel Fangio did it between 1954 and 1957, then a bloke called Schumacher did it between 2000 and 2003. Michael then went and did it for a fifth successive time in 2004. Can his compatriot and successor Sebastian Vettel do it this year?
Q: Unlike Schumacher and Vettel, Fangio did not take those consecutive titles in one make of car. Can you name the marques in which the great Argentine won the title from 1954-57?
At halfway in the 2013 World Championship campaign Red Bull's Vettel enjoys a 38-point lead over Lotus ace Kimi Raïkkönen. Simple arithmetic tells us that with nine races remaining the Kimster needs to outscore Seb by 4.2 points per round if he is to add a second title to the one he picked up with Ferrari back in 2007. Simple common sense tells us that's unlikely…
Vettel has won 40% of the races so far this year, taking his career tally to 30 in the process. Only five men now stand ahead of him in the all-time winners' list, and of those only one is racing today. That's Fernando Alonso, whose two wins for Ferrari in 2013 have taken the Spaniard to a career total of 32. Ahead lie only Schumacher, Prost, Senna and Mansell.
While Raïkkönen is second overall, the Finn has won just once – right here in Melbourne in March. But a total of six podiums underlines his consistency as well as his speed, and that's a quality that has his Lotus bosses purring.
"I would have to give Kimi 10 out of 10," says Eric Boullier in his own mid-year appraisal. "He's done a terrific job right from the beginning of the season and his remarkable run of 27 consecutive points finishes speaks for itself.
"No matter what happens he's always there, as we saw in the final few laps at Monaco. He is playing a big part in pushing the team forward, and of course having such a popular character in the seat has its advantages too."
It also has its disadvantages: the Finn is now, according to most paddock pundits, vying with our own Daniel Ricciardo to replace the departing Mark Webber at World Champion team Red Bull for next year. But then, the same pundits are saying Fernando Alonso is a candidate for the most prized seat in F1 right now as well…
Fernando will have been happy to hide away for the summer break after a torrid fortnight that saw Ferrari slide backwards – he is third behind Raïkkönen, they are third behind Mercedes – and president Luca di Montezemolo issued a fairly public reprimand to his star driver for saying, when asked what he would like for his 32nd birthday on July 29, "Someone else's car..."
All in all, 2013 has been about the usual suspects. The 30 podium places so far have been shared among four teams: Red Bull, Lotus, Mercedes and Ferrari. Hold on, we hear you say: 'Usual suspects'? What about McLaren?'
Yes indeed, what about McLaren: no podiums, 57 points (that's a mere 220 fewer than Red Bull), a best finish of fifth for Jenson Button back in April in Shanghai – and meanwhile Lewis Hamilton has been proven right in his headline-hitting switch to Mercedes.
The 2008 World Champion had to wait until round 10 in Hungary for his first victory at the wheel of a Silver Arrow, but when it came it was classic Hamilton: a surprising but commanding pole, an authoritative display in the race, an imperious approach to passing contenders like Raïkkönen and Webber: this was a man in total control.
Some are now saying Hamilton's not out of the 2013 title chase, although at 124 points he has 48 to make up on Vettel and that really does seem like a bridge too far.
Still, Mercedes seem to have taken more advantage than most of the mid-year switch by Pirelli to its 2012 tyre construction after all the hoo-hah we have seen in the first half of the year. Now the Italian firm is even saying it wants wider tyres for 2014 as we switch from the last throes of the normally aspirated 2.4-litre era to the brave new world of 1.6-litre turbo-charged engines. (By the way, just Google 'Mercedes V6 engine' to hear the first few bars of what the German firm calls 'A new music' for 2014...)
If we abstract Button and substitute Raïkkönen, then it's the 'Big 5' of recent years all over again: Vettel- Raïkkönen-Alonso-Hamilton-Webber. Mark, of course, has announced his withdrawal from the F1 lists, choosing to do it his own way by flying to Austria to tell Red Bull chief Dietrich Mateschitz face-to-face and next morning lobbing a hand grenade into the build-up for the British Grand Prix.
He's off to endurance racing with the renascent Porsche team, and this time when we read 'Webber flies at Le Mans' it should be on the track, not through the air as it was with Mercedes-Benz last time out at the famous French circuit. Let's hope Mark can take his race wins into double figures before he pulls down the garage doors on a superb F1 career. As we wait for the return to most people's favourite circuit, Spa-Francorchamps, at the end of the month, we also await news of Dan Ricciardo's future. The popular West Australian's position right now is something of a paradox: having promised to 'blow it apart' between himself and Toro Rosso partner Jean-Eric Vergne this year, he finds himself two points behind the Frenchman at the midway stage.
Yet it's only Ricciardo who is being touted as the possible Webber replacement at Red Bull. "It's about pushing yourself when everyone is watching," he insists, but while his qualifying performances have been outstanding the cold hard points on the table from his races don't yet add up to a convincing case.
Still, at least Dan has 11 of those points to his name this season so far. That's 11 more than any of the new kids on the block, among whom Valtteri Bottas has caught the eye while quietly getting on with the learning process at Williams. And so far neither Caterham nor Marussia has scored a single point – not just this year, but since they came into the sport. That's 68 races so far with no tangible reward: for some F1 folks it's not all about winning four titles on the trot...
A: it was a tricky question, in a way: Juan Manuel took the title in 1954 by driving both Mercedes and Maserati machinery, he was in a Mercedes in 1955, in both Lancia and Ferrari cars in 1956, and in a Maserati in 1957.

AKRON -- Closing arguments are set for Thursday in the Craigslist murder trial being held in Akron.
The defense rested its case this afternoon.
The bulk of the defense's case was comprised of testimony from defendant Richard Beasley, 53, who took the stand in his own defense.
He is on trial for the murders of three men that proseuctors say were lured to their deaths by a phony farm job ad posted on Craigslist.
On the stand, Beasley denied involvement in the 2011 attacks and said that the lone survivor was sent to kill him in retaliation for being a police snitch in a motorcycle gang investigation. He could face the death penalty if convicted.
Beasley's testimony came after the prosecutors rested without calling 18-year-old co-defendant Brogan Rafferty. He was convicted last year and sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Developed world is interested in ensuring Developing world grows & Poverty levels come down.
Most of the Developed countries GDP growth rates is less than 1% and certain Wealthier countries in Europe are registering a negative population growth rate.
Only counties which have a GDP growth rate of more than 4% are developing countries and these countries also have a good population growth rates.
Most of the Patents & Trade marks (IP rights) are controlled by Developed countries which have to put to use and cash generated. These can be put to use and cash generated only in Developing countries (as Developed world is Saturated).
Bottom of Pyramid population (which is 4 billion people or more than 40% of total world population) which can be served (in developing countries) which would make economic sense for Corporations in Developed world to serve.
If these 4 billion people (taken from Wikipedia) are not taken care of there would be instability unpredictable and anarchy which Developed world would not be comfortable with.
Mar 6 2013: You seem to be under the impression that corporations like WalMart and McDonalds are unaware that the developing world is becoming the next big market. They are aware of this, and pursuing it.Mar 6 2013: No.
Developed world is interested in profit.
It's all about money.Mar 5 2013: Western model is not at fault. Citizens of Developed world need to be informed that there is a great business opportunity in serving 4 billion people at Bottom of the pyramid.
This business opportunity is better than - business of Creating and Fighting wars in Developing world.Mar 5 2013: And what happens to us all when the entire globe is saturated? The western model is a deadly mind virus.
Mar 5 2013: Western model is not at fault. Citizens of Developed world need to be informed that there is a great business opportunity in serving 4 billion people at Bottom of the pyramid.
This business opportunity is better than - business of Creating and Fighting wars in Developing world.
Mar 5 2013: So what happens when all countries are developed?
Or what happens to those who lose their jobs to those in developing countries? New undeveloped countries are created.
Mar 5 2013: Only the clerical & low skilled jobs are shifting to Developing countries.
Highly skilled & knowledge jobs are not and will not shift from Developed countries.
Debate is not about shifting jobs.
Debate is - Will Developed countries gain be engaging Economically with Developing countries.Mar 5 2013: IT jobs have already left the USA to locate in India. So - in addition to the programmers who are now out of work, let's not worry about the 25% of children in my home county who are living below the poverty level, the 30% who are receiving food aid, the five applicants for every one low-level job because unemployment is so high and a low-level job is better than no job at all. Let's not talk about the working poor who are homeless families in spite of parents having jobs, the pay for which steadily decreases. Let's not worry about them. Is that what you're saying?.
Take turns eating?
Mar 5 2013: Correcting myself
rephrasing the debate can we say
The Rich people (which-ever country they are located) would be Better-off / gain if they economically-engage with 4 billion (wherever they are located) people at Bottom of the Pyramid (these are people who live on less than $2.50 per day - Wikipedia).Mar 5 2013: $2.50 US per day? $2.50 is a relative number.
A loaf of white bread in New Delhi costs $0.76 US while that same loaf of bread costs $6.15 US in Zurich.
A small bamboo house in Guatemala costs $450.00 USD. A similar (400 square foot) house in the US - but this time without plumbing and electricity starts at $65,000. Adding in the utilities will increase that amount by at least another $20,000 to $40.000 dollars
The use of pitifully small figures to represent poverty doesn't represent reality. It assumes that $2.50 will buy as much here as it will anywhere else in the world. That's just not true. If I cross our southern border into Mexico, my dollar will go a lot farther. Same if I take my dollar to Hong Kong. If I take my dollar to New York City, it probably won't buy a single thing.
So by your plan, those in America who live below the poverty level who make less than $50.00 US per day (the working and too-often homeless poor) would be excluded?
But even this conversation oversimplifies it all. The reason why America's economy is failing is because American or former American companies hire the equivalent of slave labor in China and other business-friendly 3rd world nations already, thus putting our people out of work, and in this way, ending the ability of Americans to consume in excess - which is how the US stimulated the world's economy in the first place. So your answer is to put people who work for slave wages out of work because even they can't compete with even lower wages for poor villages in India or Africa. It's a downward spiral. Those who are paid the least can't afford to consume, and those who could once afford to consume have been put out of work.
It's time to think outside of the box.
Mar 6 2013: Correcting myself again. Agree with you. $2.50 was a relative number used. Poverty number changes from Country to Country.
High-net-worth individuals / corporations would gain by economically engaging with poor people in their countries (first) and elsewhere.Mar 6 2013: There are 300.000.000 (yes, 3 hundred million) people in China whose salary is $60 A YEAR!!!
There are more than 100.000.000 that don't use money
Yes, $2.50 is relative

En español | The atmosphere at your job has been toxic, as rumors fly that there's a round of layoffs looming. So you keep your head down and hope you keep your job.
But when that call comes from the boss or human resources, you know you are joining the ranks of the unemployed.
Your mind starts to race and the reality of the situation hits you. How will I get my next job? Will I receive severance pay? Whom can I ask for references? You feel angry, hurt or even in a state of shock. But making a graceful, educated and professional exit is critical. Keep these things in mind when you are being let go.
1. Carefully review a severance agreement
There's no law that requires an employer to give you severance pay, although some companies have a formal severance policy. The point of a severance agreement is usually to keep you from suing for wrongful termination down the road.
Donna Ballman, author of Stand Up for Yourself Without Getting Fired: Resolve Workplace Issues Before You Quit, Get Axed, or Sue the Bastards, says not to feel pressured to immediately sign anything put in front of you. Your soon-to-be former employer can't make you sign it.
"You don't work there anymore," Ballman says. "What are they going to do? Fire you again? You can say no to anything you want now."
A severance agreement could also contain a noncompete clause that prevents you from working for the competition. This is obviously a huge stumbling block for landing a new job. Be clear on the restrictions you're agreeing to in exchange for a severance payout. Be certain you aren't giving up vested benefits. The agreement should clearly state the status and amounts of your 401(k), stock options or pensions.
Your best move is to tell the human resources contact or your boss that you want some time to evaluate any severance agreement. If you're over 40, your employer has to give you at least 21 days to review the agreement, or the company may not be able to get a release of your age discrimination claims, Ballman says. If you sign a release, that means you're giving up your right to sue your employer, so make sure what it's offering you is worth what you're giving up.
2. Get copies of anything you sign
Your employer may ask you to sign your final disciplinary document. Here's Ballman's expert advice: "Ask for a copy and tell them you want to review it. If they won't give a copy, take good notes about what it says (or snap a photo with your camera before they have time to snatch it away).
If you sign, get a copy. It may tell why they say you were fired. This could be evidence for a potential lawsuit against them, and you might need it for unemployment or other assistance benefits." Also, if you sign, Ballman suggests signing "As to receipt only" so that your former employer can't say you agreed to the document.
3. Be wary of signing a resignation letter
Unless the firm is giving you a generous payout to leave, never sign a resignation letter if you've actually been fired. You may be giving up unemployment benefits, and the letter can be used against you if you claim you were fired due to discrimination or whistleblowing or in breach of your contract, Ballman says.
While some people think it's better to tell potential employers they resigned to save face, Ballman disagrees. "If you left without another job lined up, who do you think you are fooling?" Few people in this economy leave jobs unless they are forced out or have other jobs lined up.
4. File for unemployment
If you're fired or laid off, most states have a set time you must have worked in order to qualify for unemployment. If you are eligible for benefits, take them. Apply by contacting your state's unemployment insurance agency as soon as you are fired or laid off. Some states permit you to file a claim by telephone or online. Generally, you should file your claim with the state where you worked.
Don't be self-conscious. It's not embarrassing to collect unemployment. You're entitled to it.

Professor William Waterman Sherman just wants to be alone. So he decides to take a year off and spend it crossing the Pacific Ocean in a hot-air balloon the likes of which no one has ever seen. But when he is found after just three weeks floating in the Atlantic among the wreckage of twenty hot-air balloons, naturally, the world is eager to know what happened. How did he end up with so many balloons . . . and in the wrong ocean?

Antioxidant Protection
Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful fat and water soluble antioxidant. It directly recycles vitamin C and indirectly recycles vitamin E, providing additional antioxidant protection. It is also an important component in the glucose metabolism process within cells. Alpha-lipoic acid may support the normal insulin response and healthy blood sugar levels already within the normal range.
Directions for Use: Take 2 tablets daily, preferably on an empty stomach. For best results take 30 minutes before your first meal of the day, and include vitamin B complex, magnesium and coenzyme Q10 with alpha-lipoic acid in your nutrition program.

Pre-Hispanic City and National Park of Palenque
Pre-Hispanic City and National Park of Palenque
A prime example of a Mayan sanctuary of the classical period, Palenque was at its height between AD 500 and 700, when its influence extended throughout the basin of the Usumacinta River. The elegance and craftsmanship of the buildings, as well as the lightness of the sculpted reliefs with their Mayan mythological themes, attest to the creative genius of this civilization.
Cité préhispanique et parc national de Palenque
Exemple éminent de sanctuaire maya de l'époque classique, Palenque, qui connut son apogée entre le VIe et le VIIIe siècle, étendit son influence dans tout le bassin de l'Usumacinta. La technique et l'élégance de ses constructions, comme la légèreté de ses reliefs sculptés illustrant des thèmes mythologiques, témoignent du génie créateur de la civilisation maya.

Pre-Spaanse stad en Nationaal park Palenque
Palenque is een goed voorbeeld van een Maya heiligdom uit de klassieke periode. De stad bereikte haar hoogtepunt tussen 500 en 700 na Christus. De elegantie en het vakmanschap van de gebouwen en de luchtigheid van de gebeeldhouwde reliëfs met thema's uit de Maya mythologie, getuigen van de creatieve geest van deze beschaving. Het meest karakteristieke element van het terrein is de Palacio. De toren in de vorm van een afgeknotte piramide werd in verschillende perioden gebouwd op een kunstmatige heuvel en diende als een soort wachttoren of astronomisch observatorium. Het is een uniek exemplaar binnen de Maya architectuur.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The archaeological site of Palenque in the state of Chiapas is one of the most outstanding Classic period sites of the Maya area, known for its exceptional and well conserved architectural and sculptural remains. The elegance and craftsmanship of the construction, as well as the lightness of the sculpted reliefs illustrating Mayan mythology, attest to the creative genius of this civilization.
The city was founded during the Late Preclassic, which corresponds to the beginning of the Christian era. Its first inhabitants probably migrated from other sites in the nearby region. They always shared the cultural features which define the Maya culture, as well as a level of development that allowed them to adapt to the natural environment. After several centuries, ca. 500 A.D., the city rose to be a powerful capital within a regional political unit. Without a buffer zone the total area of the archeological site is 1780 hectares, 09 areas and 49 square meters and 1,400 buildings have been recorded, of which only about 10% have been explored.
Palenque has been the object of interest of numerous travelers, explorers and researchers since the 18th century. It illustrates one of the most significant achievements of mankind in the American continent. The ancient city has a planned urban layout, with monumental edifices and some of the largest clearings found in all the Maya area. Numerous residential areas with habitation units, funerary, ritual and productive activity areas were placed around the administrative and civic ceremonial centre. The palencano style is unique for its high degree of refinement, lightness and harmony. It includes buildings with vaulted roofs upon which pierced crestings emphasized its height. Its architecture is also characterized by its interior sanctuaries and modeled stucco scenes found on its freezes, columns, walls, crests, as well as ogival vaults, vaulted halls connecting galleries and T-shaped windows, among other unique architectural features. The sophisticated architectural designs and the rich decoration reflect the history and ideology of the ruling class and incorporate the writing and calendaric systems. The architecture of the site is integrated in the landscape, creating a city of unique beauty.
Criteria (i): Palenque is an incomparable achievement of Mayan art. The structures are characterized by a lightness which resulted from the new construction techniques and drainage methods that were developed in order to reduce the thickness of the walls. The expanded interior space, multiple openings, and the use of galleries give the architecture a rare elegance, richly decorated with sculptures and stucco of a type never previously seen.
Criteria (ii): The influence exerted by Palenque was considerable throughout the basin of the Usumacinta, extending even as far away as Comalcalco, on the western border of the Mayan cultural zone.
Criteria (iii): Palenque bears a unique testimony to the mythology and the rites of the Mayas, notably in the incredible number of sculpted reliefs on interior walls of the palaces and temples.
Criteria (iv): Older than the ensemble at Tikal, whose major monuments were constructed a hundred years later, the group of ceremonial buildings at Palenque is an outstanding example of a ceremonial and civic site corresponding to the middle of the Classic period in the Maya area.
Once the ancient city of Palenque was abandoned around the 9th century, the thick jungle surrounding it covered its temples and palaces. This vegetation largely protected the buildings and their elements from looting. Furthermore, the fact that the area remained uninhabited, from its abandonment until the Colonial period, aided the protection of the site's integrity.
Residential areas, buildings with political and administrative functions, as well as those whose function was ritual are conserved in their original setting, turning the site with its exceptional artistic and architectural features into a living museum.
All elements to convey the Outstanding Universal Value of the property have been preserved. However, there are a number of threats to these conditions, including the decay of the material fabric and the presence of uncontrolled informal vending within the site and the growing number of visitors - which today reaches 600,000 per year. These threats require sustained attention so that the conditions of integrity are maintained and no additional impacts are derived from excessive use or inadequate infrastructure development to provide services.
As in the case of the site's integrity, the authenticity of the site and its elements was protected by the dense vegetation and the fact that the city was abandoned already in pre-Hispanic times. Furthermore, factors like the choice of durable raw materials and high quality manufacturing techniques aided in the conservation of the material culture of Palenque and in conserving the form and design of the property.
Although exploration at the site had started much earlier, the first maintenance work on the monuments at Palenque was not undertaken until around 1940. Now maintenance has to be incessant in order to avoid negative impacts caused by climatic factors and/or vegetation, which pose constant threats. Conservation interventions that have largely utilized original materials have not compromised the overall authenticity of the property but care needs to be exercised to define the extent of interventions and the use of compatible materials.
Protection and management requirements
The principal authority responsible for the protection of the archaeological site is the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and the National Commission for Protected Natural Areas (CONANP). The latter is in charge of the conservation of the natural resources within the area of the National Park, which is protected since 1981. In 1987 UNESCO recognized the archaeological site as World Heritage and in 1993 the site was declared an Archaeological Monument by the Mexican Federal Government, so as to be protected under the Federal Law on Archaeological, Artistic and Historic Monuments and Sites.
Nevertheless, much work remains to be done in order to effectively ensure the protection and conservation of the World Heritage property in the long term. Currently, measures regarding its protection are considered in the Planning project for the management of heritage sites, which seeks the participation of all the actors involved in the conservation, protection, research and promotion of the site, since it is they who live and act in its immediate context. This strategic planning incorporates a long-term view, attention to global issues in the future scenarios and the real possibilities of projecting the conservation beyond the daily activities in the operation and administration of the site.
Long Description
Palenque is an incomparable achievement of Mayan art. The structures are characterized by fineness and a lightness which resulted from the new construction techniques and drainage methods that were developed in order to reduce the thickness of the walls. The expanded interior space, multiple openings, and the use of galleries give the architecture a rare elegance, richly decorated with sculptures and stucco of a type never previously seen. Its influence was considerable throughout the basin of the Usumacinta, extending even as far away as Comalcalco, on the western border of the Mayan cultural zone.
The outstanding features of the Mayan civilization include its long duration (it first appeared in the 4th century AD and went into decline around the 9th century, although it survived in various forms until the Spanish conquest), the magnitude of its territorial domination (the area involved includes parts of five countries: Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico), and the dispersion of its political structures (a myriad of religious centres in an 'empire' which, unlike that of Teotihuacan, had no centralized power). This resulted in and is illustrated by the prodigious diversity of a fascinating monumental art style. The very original forms were both powerful and refined, and caused great admiration among the conquistadores.
Located at the heart of a tropical jungle, the ruins of Palenque represent only the central area of a vast city whose total area was approximately 8 km2. The layout of the site is incredible. Artificial terracing changed the natural topography of the site, which is between the rugged foothills of the Chiapas to the south-south-east and the lowlands to the north, by creating a whole hierarchy of volumes and spaces where platforms and structures are organized in harmonious balance. The Otulum, a tributary of the Usumacinta, was channelled into an ingenious 50 m long corbelled vaulted-roof canal, and crosses the city. In the Maya dialect, Otulum means 'fortified houses', perhaps an allusion to the city whose ancient name was not retained and whose history has only been partially revealed by archaeological work.
Palenque, as the Spanish called it, was established between the 3rd and the 5th centuries. The principal monuments were built between 500 and 700, when the city was at its peak. Towards the end of the 10th century, coastal peoples from the Gulf of Mexico region invaded and caused its downfall and abandonment.
The dominant element in the central cleared area is the Palacio. Erected at different periods on an immense artificial knoll shaped like a truncated pyramid, the various buildings are set around four at the southwest corner; this is a sort of watchtower or astronomical observatory and is a unique example in Mayan architecture.
The Palacio ensemble is balanced by the even larger Temple of Inscriptions. Set atop a stepped pyramid located below the Palacio, it was built over a funerary crypt that was explored in 1952.
In the distance can be seen other magnificent temple-pyramids, which are half hidden by vegetation. To the south-east are the Temples of the Sun, the Cross and the Foliated Cross, and to the north rises the Temple of the Count (the absurd name refers to an archaeologist, Baron Jean-Frédéric Waldeck, who lived there in the 19th century). Numerous buildings are scattered between these two zones. They have been identified and sometimes explored; more rarely, they have been enhanced after having been excavated. The first such maintenance work on the monuments at Palenque was in fact not undertaken until around 1940.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

A faint non smelly fart, hardly worth the effort.
With the market these days if you own anything but real estate you own a popcorn fart.

The rapid firing of several small farts, that when done correctly, sounds quite similar to a small mouse riding through the house on a motorcycle. Putt putt putt putt putt!
Mother: Um, Junior... do I hear someone passing a series of popcorn farts?
Junior: No Mother, that's just a little mouse riding through the house on a motorcycle.

The ZIEX ZE950 All Season TIre incorporates the latest in technology and design from Falken to create an excellent choice for drivers of today´s sedans, sports cars and crossover vehicles where mileage, all-season and high performance handling are a priority. Using the Falken exclusive Dynamic Range Technology (DRT) in the all new silica tread compound and asymmetric tread design, the ZIEX ZE950 All Season Tire provides optimum levels of dry, wet, ice and snow grip as well as delivering the longest mileage of any Falken High Performance tires. With 95 sizes from 15-inch to 20-inch and speed ratings of H, V, and W, the ZIEX ZE950 covers a wide range of fitments, from family sedans to cross-over vehicles.
DYNAMIC RANGE TECHNOLOGY (DRT) allows the rubber to remain pliable at low temperatures increasing grip in wet, snow and icy conditions. During dry conditions as the rubber heats up the chemical bonds remain strong, allowing great dry handling and exceptional tread wear performance. FALKEN EXCLUSIVE "CANYON SIPE" TECHNOLOGY increased edges for ice braking interlocks under load for better handling and improved wear. WIDE CIRCUMFERENTIAL GROOVES effectively evacuate water and significantly enhance hydroplaning resistance for outstanding wet handling. WIDE ANGLED TREAD SLOT provides additional snow grip by allowing snow to be packed into the center of the tire. SCULPTURED GROOVE WALL provides better snow grip and eliminates rain groove wander.

Fantastic tire and I am very satisfied. Considering they are only $150ish each, I am amazed at the performance in the dry. On my Legacy GT I am unable to break the tires free from their grip on a launch and was able to take a fairly midsize 90 degree corner at 110km/h before just barely finding the limit of the tires in the dry. In the wet the tires have performed well so far and I cannot think of a time where they slid under braking or spun on acceleration but I felt far less confident on them. Road noise is not a problem unless on a bad quality road and comfort is not noticeably good or bad for a low profile tire. I have not used them in snow yet and have not owned them long enough to comment on treadwear. One thing I would note is that I have them stretched slightly (225 on a 8.75 rim) and whereas some tires this size would not look stretched on this size rim, these ones have more of a stretch than I would like.

These tires are wonderful. I am thoroughly impressed with how they handle in the snow and on ice. They are extremely quiet compared to my factory installed Continentals. I'm a good driver, but I feel even more confident with these on my car. I recommend these tires to anyone shopping in this price point.

Test ID: THRMP
Thrombophilia Profile
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluating patients with thrombosis or hypercoagulability states
Detecting a lupus-like anticoagulant; dysfibrinogenemia; disseminated intravascular coagulation/intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis
Detecting a deficiency of antithrombin, protein C, or protein S
Detecting activated protein C resistance (and the factor V R506Q [Leiden] mutation if indicated)
Detecting the prothrombin G20210A mutation
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Thrombophilia is defined as an acquired or familial disorder associated with thrombosis. The clinical presentation of an underlying thrombophilia may include venous thromboembolism (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, superficial vein thrombosis), recurrent miscarriage, and complications of pregnancy (eg, severe preeclampsia, abruptio placentae, intrauterine growth restriction, stillbirth). Other possible clinical presentation includes arterial thrombosis (especially among patients <50 years of age with no other risk factors for atherosclerotic arterial occlusive disease (diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, or tobacco smoking) and aseptic necrosis of bone (eg, femoral head mandible). Demographic or environmental exposures that compound the risk of venous thromboembolism among persons with a thrombophilia include increasing age, male gender, obesity, surgery, trauma, hospitalization for medical illness, malignant neoplasm, prolonged immobility during travel (eg, prolonged airplane travel), oral contraceptive use, estrogen therapy (both oral and transdermal), tamoxifen and raloxifene therapy, and infertility drugs. Central venous catheters and transvenous pacemaker wires increase the risk for upper extremity deep vein thrombosis; this risk is unrelated to thrombophilia.
Inherited thrombophilias include:
-Deficiency due to reduced plasma protein level or dysfunctional protein of:
- Antithrombin
- Protein C
- Protein S
-Dysfibrinogenemias (rare)
-Activated protein C resistance due to the factor V R506Q (Leiden) mutation
-Prothrombin G20210A mutation
Acquired thrombophilias include a lupus-like anticoagulant (antiphospholipid antibodies) and disseminated intravascular coagulation/intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis (DIC/ICF). DIC/ICF may cause thrombotic as well as hemorrhagic events. Positive tests for DIC/ICF can also occur as consequences of thrombosis.
Acquired deficiencies of fibrinogen, protein C, protein S, and antithrombin may be found in conjunction with liver disease (they are produced by the liver) or DIC/ICF and are of uncertain significance with respect to thrombosis risk.
Acquired deficiencies of protein C and protein S are also found in liver patients treated with oral anticoagulants (eg, warfarin, Coumadin) since both of these proteins are dependent upon the action of vitamin K for normal function.
Acquired protein S deficiency also occurs in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, pregnancy or estrogen therapy, nephrotic syndrome, and sickle cell anemia. In acute illness, the level of acute-phase reactants rise (including C4b binding protein, which binds and inactivates protein S in the plasma) and the portion of bound protein S also rises leaving a lower proportion of free protein S. The significance of acquired protein S deficiency with respect to thrombosis risk is unknown.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report will be provided.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
To obtain the most useful information, this testing is best performed in medically-stable patients who are not receiving oral vitamin K inhibitor (eg, warfarin, Coumadin), heparin, low-molecular-weight heparin, hirudin (Refludan), argatroban, fibrinolytic agents (eg, streptokinase, tissue plasminogen activator), or platelet GPIIbIIIa (alpha IIb beta3) inhibitors (abxicimab [ReoPro], tirofiban, aggrastat). However, useful information can be obtained in patients receiving anticoagulation therapy.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

A Resting Place For Hunting Hounds In Alabama
Originally published on Mon September 3, 2012 5:15 am
Seventy-five years ago, Key Underwood and his raccoon-hunting dog Troop had a connection. Years of training and a deep relationship make human and canine a seamless hunting unit. The two can share a special bond.
So when old Troop died, Underwood buried him on the crest of a hill hidden away in the lush countryside near Cherokee, Ala. It was Underwood's favorite hunting spot. He marked the grave with an old chimney stone he chiseled with a hammer and screwdriver.
That was the start of Coon Dog Cemetery, according to Franky Hatton, who hunts in this area with his Bluetick Coonhound, Cletis.
Today, more than 300 dogs are buried alongside Troop. All of the dogs buried here earned their keep hunting raccoons.
The Thrill Of The Hunt
Raccoon hunting is a night sport. The dogs are put out near a creek bed or corn patch at dusk. The hunters wait and listen. Hatton says he wants to hear a pickup in the pace of the dog's bark.
"When he settles down and goes to chopping steady, that's when you know he's treed," Hatton says. The dog has chased a raccoon up a tree, ready for the hunter to take aim.
Hatton says Cletis has to prove his coon dog cred if he wants to spend eternity with his forebears. All of the dogs interred here were expert hunters who met high standards.
"You have to have three references that have to contact us and have actually witnessed the dog tree a coon by himself," Hatton says. "Not with another dog — all by himself, where he can prove he done it on his own and didn't have any help."
The graves are lined up on the crest of a shady hill. Newer ones are marked with traditional headstones. The older ones are carved from wood or handmade from whatever materials were available: sticks tied together in a cross with a dog collar, or a broiler plate from an old stove.
'Never Seen Anything Like This'
Under a rustic picnic pavilion, a binder serves as a guestbook logging the thousands of visitors a year who stop at the Coon Dog Cemetery. Carol and Bob Pearson of Greenville, Ky., are among the guests.
"We'd never seen anything like this. Never," Carol says.
"It's unusual," Bob adds. "We're rural people anyway, and I used to coon hunt, so it means a lot to me."
The peaceful hillside is also a gathering spot for local hunters. Franky Hatton says he has been coming to Coon Dog Cemetery since he was a toddler listening to the old timers tell their stories.
"The first thing they'll start out with is 'you remember that night?' " Hatton recalls. "And they'll start in. Especially if it was a night they beat you and outdone you, they'll remind you of it."
The Coon Dog Cemetery celebrates its 75th anniversary with bluegrass, barbecue and a liar's contest on Labor Day.
It is Labor Day, a day to honor the American worker. Sometimes that worker is not actually human, which brings us to an Alabama cemetery this morning, where we travel for the latest installment of our series Dead Stop.
INSKEEP: Yeah, all summer we've been visiting unusual gravesites and cemeteries. And as we prepare to wrap up our series this morning, we pay tribute to man's best friend.
NPR's Debbie Elliott takes us to a remote hillside in north Alabama, where only the finest of coon dogs are laid to rest.
DEBBIE ELLIOTT, BYLINE: You think you're surely lost, winding down the lush country roads outside of Cherokee, Alabama, hardly passing another car. And then a hand-painted sign with a red arrow points to the Coon Dog Cemetery.
ELLIOTT: Local hunter Franky Hatton is waiting with his Blue Tick hound Cletis.
FRANKY HATTON: I've had the same bloodline pretty much for - ever since I was a little boy. See, all my ancestors was hunters. We've hunted pretty much all our life, which Daddy said he kept us in the woods to keep us out of trouble.
ELLIOTT: Raccoon hunting is a night sport. The dogs are put out near a creek bed or a corn patch at dusk, and the hunters wait and listen.
HATTON: When he settles down and goes to chopping steady, that's when you know he's treed.
ELLIOTT: Meaning he's chased a raccoon up a tree and is barking up after it - not distracted by a squirrel or armadillo, but zeroed in on a coon. It's a skill that takes years of training and a deep relationship between hunter and coon dog, the kind of relationship that would make you want to bury your companion in a special spot.
HATTON: Key Underwood started this place when he buried Old Troop. And there's Old Troop right there.
ELLIOTT: Troop is legendary in these parts, known to track a coon from cold tracks. He was trained by a whiskey-maker in these hills known to hide the occasional still. Underwood marked his grave with an old chimney stone chiseled with a hammer and screwdriver.
HATTON: You see he's buried September 4, 1937. And this was Key Underwood's favorite spot to hunt. So when Troop passed away, he brought him here and buried him.
ELLIOTT: That was 75 years ago. Now there are more than 300 dogs buried with Troop, including Lulabelle, Preacher, Squeak, Bear, and Dr. Doom - all certified breeds, Hatton says, who have met high standards.
HATTON: You have to have three references that have to contact us and have actually witnessed the dog tree a coon by his self.
ELLIOTT: Not with another dog.
HATTON: Not with another dog, all by his self. Where he can prove he done it on his own and he didn't have any help.
ELLIOTT: The graves are lined up on the crest of a shady hill, the newer ones marked with traditional headstones, the older ones carved from wood or handmade from whatever materials were on hand - sticks tied together at a cross with a dog collar, a broiler plate from an old stove.
Under a rustic picnic pavilion, a binder serves as guestbook, logging the thousands of visitors a year who stop at the Coon Dog Cemetery. Among them are Carol and Bob Pearson of Greenville, Kentucky.
CAROL PEARSON: We'd never seen anything like this. Never.
BOB PEARSON: It's unusual. And we're rural people anyway, and I used to coon hunt, so it means a lot to me.
ELLIOTT: The peaceful hillside is also a gathering spot for local hunters. Franky Hatton says he's been coming here since he was a toddler, listening to the old-timers tell their stories.
HATTON: And the first thing they'll start out with: You remember that night? And then they'll start in. Especially if it was a night they beat you and outdone you. They'll remind you of it.
ELLIOTT: Hatton has two champion dogs buried here, Blue Flash and Flash Junior, grandfather and great-grandfather to his current hound Cletis.
ELLIOTT: Will he be buried here?
HATTON: It all depends on how good he does.
ELLIOTT: And what kind of stories Franky Hatton can tell of his nights in the north Alabama woods coon hunting with Cletis.
Debbie Elliott, NPR News.
INSKEEP: Well, the Coon Dog Cemetery marks its 75th anniversary today. And you can find an all-day appreciation of all things coon dog, plus music, barbecue and a liar's contest, as well as pictures, at our website, NPR.org.

Okay so I have been using the regimen for about two weeks now and when I started I barely had acne on my forehead and chin but alot on my cheeks and upper lip area. After using it, the cheeks and upper lip cleared up and I was so happy yet my chin and forehead was getting breakouts. The breakouts on my chin and forehead are getting worst and I dont know if this is what suppose to happen. Also I feel like using two full pumps of moisterizer is wayto much as it sits on my face.

i dont think your suppose to use 2 pumps of moisturizer
Posted 08 December 2012 - 09:35 AM
You can use to pumps if you feel that you need too. Start with one. work it very softly into your skin. if in a few minutes you feel that you need more, go for it. maybe you just need 1 and a half.
Do you like the JOJO Oil as I call it lol
Do you like the JOJO Oil as I call it lol
Posted 08 December 2012 - 11:23 AM
You will breakout when you first start using the regimen bcuz BP renews the skins' layers much faster so any acne hiding underneath will surface. 2 pumps of moisturizer isn't too much, I know it may seem like it, but its not trust me
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

Thanks to Amanda Martin and Charles Shepard of the Fort Wayne Museum of Art for allowing our community to benefit from the "Freedom Riders and Bus Boycotters: Threads of a Story" art exhibit by Charlotta Janssen.
The exhibit touched many hearts, reminded and informed multi-generations of the huge price so many others paid for the privilege of being able to use any public transport, sit down in any restaurant and be served, and for all children to receive an education alongside any other child, regardless of color.
We were there on the first day of the exhibit to meet Charlotta Janssen and Janet Braun-Reinitz, the first Freedom Rider Charlotta painted. We were also there on the last day of the exhibit when Chief Condra Ridley and I led more than 50 members of the community in singing the Freedom Songs together, the songs that served as the Freedom Riders' voice and their source of strength and solidarity.
On the final day of the exhibit Charlotta Janssen was also present through a Skype connection, greeting FWMoA visitors individually, sharing more stories of the Freedom Riders she has met, and leading songs.
Without the vision of Charles Shepard and Amanda Martin and evidence of their belief that art is a community asset and benefits everyone, none of these wonderful experiences would have happened in our city.
