Tunnel View
November 2nd, 2011
Yosemite National Park. After nearly an hour of winding, boring forest roads, nearly all of my passengers felt the pangs of motion sickness. We then entered a concrete tunnel with a point of light in the distance. Once we emerged from the tunnel, this majestic view greeted us. I was swept off my feet. So worth it.
I had photographed this view in the morning, but it wasn't until the late afternoon, on our way out, that the low sun drew swathes of warm light across the valley. This photo was the result of waiting for the light.

SOURCE: Schopen, Bernard A. "'They Rode On': Blood Meridian and the Art of Narrative." Western American Literature 30, no. 2 (summer 1995): 179-94.
In the following essay, Schopen studies McCarthy's complexly integrated narrative structures in Blood Meridian, deeming that these elements fuse together to form a truthful assessment of the nature of humanity.
Since its publication in 1985, Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, or, The Evening Redness in the West has received little serious criticism. This remarkable neglect of what Denis Donoghue calls "one of the most powerful American novels I have read" (6) is about to end, however. Now that All The Pretty Horses has garnered a National Book Award and The Crossing leaped up the best-seller list, McCarthy threatens to become an academically fashionable, perhaps even a canonical figure, and we can expect that his novels will increasingly be "interrogated...

Neubecker Urges Passage of Same Sex Marriage Legalization in Illinois
The Illinois General Assembly is set to consider and vote on Illinois Senate Bill 10, the Marriage Fairness Act. If the measure passes, same sex marriage would become legal in the State of Illinois. Passage of the measure hangs in the balance as reported last week when Illinois Speaker of the General Assembly Michael Madigan reported a shortage of the 12 votes required to ensure passage.
When the measure was passed in the Senate this past Valentine's Day, it was sent to the Illinois General Assembly for consideration. Later, on February 26th, it was voted out of the executive committee of the Illinois General Assembly by the minimum number of votes required to send the bill to the floor.
Chicago's West Side State Representative Alex Arroyo, a member of the Illinois General Assembly executive committee, voted to send the bill to the floor for an up or down vote, but stated that he was not going to be able to support the bill if and when the final vote on the floor of the House was called. Watch the actual vote at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0YthOzPT5g
Last week, Illinois Speaker of the General Assembly Michael Madigan had reported that the measure was short by the 12 votes necessary to ensure passage. The legislation is expected to be called for a vote as early as Wednesday or Thursday of this week, if enough votes have been secured before the Illinois General Assembly recesses later this week.
Forensicon's President and CEO Lee Neubecker stated, "As a business owner and CEO of a Chicago-based technology firm, I strongly urge the legislature to vote yes on legalizing same sex marriage in Illinois. This measure if passed will make it easier for the region to recruit technology companies and diverse talent to the Chicagoland area. This sends a clear message that our region is tolerant, fair, and values diversity."
"As the parents of two children that have had five 'traditional' families, none of whom kept their promises to our kids, I am compelled to share my daughter's letter at her specific request. My children, and so many other children whom languish in the foster care system often age out of the system without ever becoming adopted, all deserve the opportunity to have a 'forever family'. I urge my clients, colleagues, business partners, staff and friends to share our daughter's story and reach out to your elected officials and encourage them to support passage of the Illinois Marriage Fairness Act. Every child deserves the chance to have a 'forever home' and to be treated fairly!", appealed Neubecker.
"Please listen to the importance of the passage of this act through the eyes of a child by reading my daughter's letter and sharing her experience with those who need to consider the perspective of an adopted child." ended Neubecker.
'Why Illinois should vote to allow my two dads to get married. ' – By Braiden Neubecker
Love is important! It doesn't matter who people love, as long as they are happy. Everyone should have the right to marry who he or she wants. You may not like two men being married, but for them, it's normal. My two dads should be able to be married and have the same rights as any married couple. How would you feel if you couldn't marry someone just because the government said you weren't allowed to.
If I loved someone and wasn't allowed to marry them, I would be really sad. My family has taught me that even if you don't agree with someone, you should still be kind and respectful. The government should too. Also, my church tells me that you should treat other people the way you want to be treated.
My dads are very unique. We do lots of silly things like having hot cocoa every single time it snows. Every summer we go to the same place in Florida with one dad's whole family. Our family knows how to have fun. We do lots of road trips. Also, we have gone on cruises. I really enjoy traveling with my dads. It is very fun. One of my favorite things to do as a family is family game night. I LOVE this family and I love every single thing we do as a family.
Before I lived with my two dads, my life was horrible. My old family never treated me well. They wouldn't stand up for me. If my foster sister fought with me, my old mom would just sit there and watch me get hurt, so I would have to fight back. Each time I was at foster home, the foster parents promised me they would keep me safe and treat my brother and I equally.
But they always broke their promise. I moved five times until my dad and daddy found me. They also promised that they would always love me and keep me safe and they would treat me equal to my brother. I was 4 when I met them. Now I am 10 and they have kept their promises.
They do so much for me. They never hurt me or my brother. I feel so safe. I believe I can do anything with my two dads. Would there be any purpose to ban the marriage of two men or two women when they can treat children the same or even better than other couples.
I hope that you will do the right thing and let anyone marry who they want to.

SEOUL, March 23 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's opposition parties demanded Saturday that former government spy chief Won Sei-hoon be barred from leaving the country, claiming that his travel abroad would make it hard to investigate allegation that he had interfered in domestic politics.
The demand comes after published media reports that the former chief of the National Intelligence Service (NIS) will leave for the United States on Sunday and stay there for some time. The media did not say why he was leaving.
Won, who served as the NIS chief under the previous government of President Lee Myung-bak, has been sued by several lobor and civic groups for interfering in domestic politics by trying to manipulate public opinions ahead of last year's presidential race.
The dispute arose after an NIS agent was caught using various Internet identities to attack the then main opposition presidential hopeful Moon Jae-in ahead of the Dec. 19 poll.
Conservative ruling party candidate Park Geun-hye eventually won the race and took office late last month as the country's female first head of state.
"If he leaves the country for an overseas travel, it can only be to avoid being asked about questions raised in relation to several charges that have been leveled against him," the main opposition Democratic United Party (DUP) said in a statement.
DUP spokeswoman Kim Hyun said that Won's plan to leave the country less than three days after he left office can only be construed as an attempt to run away.
"It's unprecedented that a top government official who had access to the highest national intelligence leaves the country and stays overseas for an extended period of time," she said.
The opposition lawmaker said the ex-spy chief should be barred from leaving the country, so he can answer questions raised against him.
Won and the NIS have said there was nothing illegal about the agency's operations.
The minor opposition Progressive Justice Party also said that Won's plan to stay outside of the country can be construed as trying to help the incumbent Park administration.

Airport operations manager Richard Roberts said affected
arrivals were a flight from Wellington due to land at 8.50am,
another from Auckland due at 9.10am and a third from
Christchurch due at 9.45am.
All three circled above the airport and landed between 10am
and 10.30am, he said.
''I don't know how long they can circle in the air, but they
would have known about the fog risk before taking off and
likely allocated extra fuel for that. I have known of flights
circling for about 40 minutes, because the disruption of
returning to the origin or diverting elsewhere is huge,'' Mr
Roberts said.
Normal airport operations resumed before 11am, a flight from
Wellington landing as scheduled about 10.55am.
It was not unusual for the airport to be shrouded in fog in
February, Mr Roberts said.
''Especially with the warm weather, there is more moisture in
the air,'' he said.
A 6.50am flight bound for Wellington and another at 7.20am to
Christchurch were able to get away on time.
At 8am, a flight from Christchurch landed in Dunedin, and 20
minutes later returned to Christchurch as scheduled.

SALINA, Kan. (AP) _ A Salina soldier who recently finished a
year-long tour in Iraq has been killed in a motorcycle crash near
his military base in Hawaii.
Authorities say 23-year-old David Schoof crashed the motorcycle
he was driving into a guard rail and a utility pole a week ago.
Loved ones say Schoof joined the Army about three years ago and
was stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii, with the 25th
Infantry VAU Forward Division. His mother, Dee Schoof of Salina,
said her son assembled unmanned aircraft.
Funeral services for Schoof are scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday at
Trinity United Methodist Church in Salina.

Recommended Bob-e-cat airfoil for 40" wingspan
Okay, I've picked out my next project for when I'm done with my Minx 300. I want to build a Bob-E-Cat for an old Kress Jets fan unit I purchased a few years back (for a Ziroli designed HE-162). It's an RK-720E I believe.
I want to do a Bob-e-cat with a 40" wingspan and the EJF versions are either too big or too small. I found plans for the plane online. I want A/E/T control, with possible retracts. I plan on having a built up balsa wing (never cut a foam wing and don't really want to). I would like to keep the weight of the aircraft to about 35 ounces.
Anyways, to the point, what would be the best airfoil(s) to use on this project? Any help would be apresiated, thanks.
Airfoil choice depends on a lot of factors.
Will it fly upside down a lot? How fast do you expect it to go? How slow do you want it to go? What is the chord length? What will the wing loading be? Should it glide really well (it would fly on minimal power, but this makes a plane harder to land in a tight spot), or would you prefer to have it slow down easily? There could be structural concerns that will dictate thickness, or landing gear that needs to fit in the wing.
There is not one right answer for sport models. It's easier to chose when there's a specific goal in mind, like pylon racing, but even then it is a compromise between turning ability and speed.
You could look at some of the old NACA 5 digit sections. Something like the 23012 or 24010 have reasonably low drag and lift to the moon. Like I said though, it depends on what you want.
Steve C
-It will fly mostly right side up (maybe a little upside down)
-I expect it to go fairly fast, somewhere it the 60 mph range (I hope)
-I want it to be able to slow down to about 15-20 mph for landing (although even slower wouldn't be a problem either)
-The wing loading will be about 13 oz/sq. ft
-A good glide ratio isn't of a high concern.
-I would like the option of being able to put in Robart 1/2A micro retracts, but it's not nessesary.
If a decent choice is made and you have that low a weight, your minimum speed should be easily between 15 and 20 mph.
Some good choices would be Selig 3016 and Selig 5010, which works on flying wings by the way The bad part is that they have thin trailing edges, which is tough to built in wood. That's why the NACA sections may be a better choice.

From Our Editors
Owner and head chef Francesco Basile cut his culinary teeth as a young boy in his native Sicily, peeling potatoes and cleaning fish for traditional family feasts. After graduating from culinary school, Francesco broadened his skills and palate, mastering meals of hand-rolled pappardelle at Italian resorts and learning to craft mouthwatering feasts of Italian-American fare at bustling restaurants in southern California. By opening Antica Trattoria in 2001, he built a business dedicated to cooking with fresh ingredients and celebrating simple, traditional Italian dishes, enrapturing diners with meals of veal scaloppini, melted brie with figs jam, and seafood stews swimming in tomato-herb broth. Together with right-hand-cook Eric Ruiz, Francesco changes his menu with the seasons, delivering seafood plates tinged with the aroma of fresh herbs and fennel in the spring and walnut cream sauces and pumpkin ravioli in the autumn.
The restaurant exudes a rustic, timeless charm, with walls of bare brick decorated with tops of wooden wine crates and colorful murals of idyllic Italian countryscapes. A towering china hutch in the rear dining area evokes images of a grandmother's kitchen, and an elegant marble-topped wine bar brings forth memories of a grandmother's secret speakeasy, inviting diners to sample tasty digestifs of fine vino from across Italy and the Pacific coast.

What the heck is daylight savings time, she asked herself, wasn't noon, when the sun's directly overhead, a fact?

It's hard to predict trends, of course, but it's clear the NFL might be moving into the golden era of spitting. It's the ultimate insult, an unsanitary degradation of the human condition, and it's something most of us outgrow before our age hits the high single digits.
Marvin Lewis says one of his Bengal players was spit upon in Sunday's game against the Redskins. Lewis refused to identify the spitter or the spittee, but surrounding events seem to implicate Washington's Sean Taylor (spitter) and victimize Cincinnati's T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
In Cleveland, the grand pregame fracas between Browns running back William Green and Steelers linebacker Joey Porter either originated or was accelerated by spitting. Who spat upon whom? Let the jury sift through the rubble.
Could it be that imitative dancing -- as performed by Hines Ward, Terrell Owens, Terrell Owens, Terrell Owens and Terrell Owens -- might be a short-lived trend? Just as we were getting used to the idea of every NFL game becoming a parody of a bad television series, they've gone and reinvented themselves.
Almost makes you wistful for the days when the biggest argument between players concerned the theft of proprietary dances, doesn't it?

Great value. Decent computing power at a great price. These machines are refurbished but you wouldn't think it. They perform like new machines, they look more or less new. They are worth their price for the installed Operating system and included monitor alone. For just a little more, however, you can get a Core 2 duo machine.

The Gender Wage Gap Is Not Women's Fault, and Here's the Report That Proves It
The fact is, in every occupation and at every level, women earn less than men doing exactly the same work.
The fact is, in every occupation and at every level, women earn less than men doing exactly the same work.
"Make room for pro-life Democrats and invite pro-life, progressive independents back to the party to focus on the right to parent and ways to help women in crisis or unplanned pregnancies have more choices than abortion," the group said in a report unveiled to allies at the event, including Democratic National Convention (DNC) delegates and the press.
A transgender student in Virginia sued the local school board, arguing that its policy of mandating that students use bathrooms consistent with their "biological sex" rather than their gender identity was unconstitutional.
The notices of violation issued this month mark the first time authorities anywhere in the state are enforcing the seven-month-old Reproductive Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care, and Transparency (FACT) Act.
Though reproductive rights and health have been discussed by both Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) while on the campaign trail, Democrats have come under fire for failing to ask about abortion care during the party's debates.
All the latest news, analysis, and commentary delivered to you.
While medical systems will need to evolve to address the challenges preventing pediatricians from sharing medically accurate and age-appropriate information about sexuality with their patients, there are several things I recommend parents and educators do to reinforce AAP's guidance.
The selection of Tim Kaine as vice president would be the first signal that Hillary Clinton intends to seek progressive votes but ignore progressive values and goals, likely at her peril, and ours.
The legislation would allow victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking to terminate their lease early or request locks be changed if they have "a reasonable fear" that they will continue to be harmed while living in their unit.
Rewire is on the ground this week covering the Democratic National Convention and we got the chance to speak with Kristen Day, Executive Director of Democrats for Life of America. Her thoughts on Planned Parenthood's "control" of the Democratic party, Tim Kaine's private beliefs about abortion, and why abortions should be banned at 20 weeks […]
"David Daleiden contacted our agency May 21st of 2015 and filed a criminal report against StemExpress here in Placerville," a spokesperson at the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office told Rewire. "All he was, was a reporting party. He didn't consult with us and he didn't cooperate with us. In fact, I'd characterize him as uncooperative."
Women who have visited almost any abortion clinic in the United States have seen anti-choice protesters outside, wielding placards and chanting abuse. A Boston advertiser's technology, when deployed by anti-choice groups, allows those groups to send propaganda directly to a woman's phone while she is in a clinic waiting room.
Just two days after NARAL Pro-Choice America submitted a letter asking the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate anti-choice activities as domestic terrorism, an extremist opened fire on a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado, murdering three people and injuring nine others.
"The reality is that some young women face desperate circumstances and potentially violent consequences if they are forced to bring their parents into their reproductive health decisions," said Janet Crepps, senior counsel at the Center for Reproductive Rights. "This law would have deprived these vulnerable women of their constitutional rights and put them at risk of serious harm."
Joseph founded a nonprofit, Commonsense Childbirth, in 1998 to inspire change in maternity care to better serve people of color. As a licensed midwife, Joseph seeks to transform how care is provided in a clinical setting.
It's time for a shift in the use of "self-care" that creates space for actual care apart from the extra kindnesses and important, small indulgences that may be part of our self-care rituals, depending on our ability to access such activities.
University of Denver's Joshua Wilson argues that prosecutions of abortion-clinic protesters and the decline of "rescue" groups in the 1980s and 1990s boosted conservative anti-abortion legal activism nationwide.
The recent brouhaha over Kanye, Taylor Swift, and the Snapchat heard 'round the world is a perfect way to learn about Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP), which are meritless lawsuits meant to bully a defendant and stifle speech.

The major differences between a computer and a microcontroller are as follows.
1. The microprocessor in a microcontroller is less powerful than that in a computer. It has a limited instruction set allowing to run a specific application whereas in microprocessor inside the computer allows to run variety of functions
2. The microcontroller has less amount of memory as compared to a computer which has sufficient enough memory to run variety of memory intensive applications.
3. Microcontroller takes less storage capacity for permanently storing the program.
Microcontroller has ROM that contains the permanent set of instructions (program). The computer stores basic programming functions in BIOS.
The applications of microcontroller are as follows:
The microcontrollers are used for specific application such as anti-lock brakes, fuel control, motor control, keyless security locks etc.
The applications of computer are as follows:
Computer allows doing variety of functions using single processor such as word processing, playing CDs, making CAD drawing, technical computing etc.

Cicak Man (pronounced [ˈtʃitʃaʔ ˈman]) is a 2006 Malaysian comedy-superhero film. It is the first Malaysian film of this genre, and features almost 40% CGI footage. The film was directed by KRU member Yusry and starred comedian Saiful Apek. The name "Cicak-Man" literally translates to "Gecko-Man".
A sequel, Cicakman 2: Planet Hitam was released on 11 December 2008 in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei.[2] The original announced release is in the end of 2007.[3]
Cicak Man 3 was released on 12 March 2015 in Malaysia with all new cast.
Set in the make-believe city of Metrofulus, "Cicak-Man" is about the last person on earth anyone would expect to turn into a superhero. But funnyman Saiful Apek, does, quite by accident and becomes a shock to his friend, who also tries his best to adjust to his superpowers. When he's not climbing walls, Cicakman reverts to his alter ego, the unassuming Hairi.
Hairi Yatim (Saiful Apek), is a loser who lives in Metrofulus. While working in the lab, he accidentally drinks coffee that has been contaminated by a virus-infected gecko (Virus 266). He soon finds himself doing the most insane things, such as sticking to walls, making chirping cicak noises and adding bugs to his menu. He turns to his best friend and apartment mate, Danny Yusry (Abdul Halim), and begs him to find the reason behind his strange antics.
Meanwhile, the people of Metrofulus are constantly being infected by new strains of viruses, and the only cure seems to come only from Professor Klon's (Aznil Nawawi) lab. Suspecting something amiss, Hairi and Danny launch their own investigation and discover that Professor Klon is not only the creator of such viruses, but also has a more sinister plan up his sleeve, backed by his business partners, the Ginger Boys (played by Adlin Aman Ramlie and AC Mizal), who first tend to take revenge on Professor Klon's failed experiment on them; making their senses turn abnormal.
Hairi soon makes use of his new-found powers as "Cicakman" when he saves Tania (Fasha Sandha), Professor Klon's secretary from a threatening situation, and also ends up falling for her. However, he finds that his powers are more of a threat to his life, than a gift, and embarks on a mission to bring down Prof. Klon and the Ginger Boys before his time runs out.
The film was shot using Dolby TrueHD, and about 40% of the film was shot in Green Screen. The visual effects team led by the director, Yusry, used CGI technology to fully realise the fictional city of Bandar Metrofulus (which was based on Kuala Lumpur), the protagonist's super-hero movements and various digital sets. Over 90% of the rotoscoping and compositing work were carried out by KRU Films (now known as KRU Studios), who were also behind the musical scores and audio effects.[4]
Of note, Adlin Aman Ramlie and AC Mizal previously worked together on the Puteri Gunung Ledang musical.

- Spider – Telinga ke Tulang
- Pretty Ugly – Diari Seorang Lelaki

Cicak-Man created Malaysian movie history by grossing MYR350,000 with an audience attendance number of 47,116 in its first day.[5] The film eventually gave its production company, KRU Group of Companies, a MYR6.7 million boost due to sales.[2]
The film received praise from some critics. One of them is Dato' Yusof Haslam alias "Six Million Dollar Man".[6]David Teo as a film producer and CEO of Metrowealth International Group referred Cicak Man as a miracle with the response and difference shown in Malaysian filming industry. Besides film maker, ex-president of Persatuan Sutradara Malaysia (FDAM), Ahmad Ibrahim, praised this masterpiece created by Yusry and KRU.[7]
While there were people who praised Cicak Man, there were many others who criticised this film greatly. Mansor Putih in an interview by Harian Metro said that the film has no 'soul', aesthetic values and culture.[citation needed] There were individuals who compared between Cicak Man and Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, and other superhero films from Hollywood, but before it was released to public, the director, Yusry had advised people to not compare Cicak Man with other superhero characters because the budget is obviously lower compared to Hollywood productions.[citation needed]
The film contains many in-jokes or references to Malaysian culture. Among them are:
- Where clones "hang" (malfunction), the characters comment that the clones are just copies and not "ori" (original) This is a reference to Malaysian movie pirates, and the government's current crackdown on piracy and promotion of "ori" items instead.
- When Hairi uses Tania's pass card to gain all-access to the entire Klon Technologies headquarters, he yells "Tahniah! Tahniah!" (Congrats! Congrats!) as a word play to cover up when the card reader system reads Tania's name.
- When Hairi is trying to distinguish the 5 original ministers from their cloned counterparts, he gives a humorous question, "Original ke Spicy?"("Original or Spicy?"), which refers to two of KFC's fried chicken flavour options in Malaysia.

Product Description
The DVD includes the kind of full-size color booklet every concert disc should come with, a choice of Dolby Digital 5.1 surround and uncompressed PCM stereo sound (both great), and a dose of "bonus" backstage ballyhoo. A unique extra is the director's broadcast call of the camera shots for AC/DC's "Thunderstruck," revealing the frantic, real-time demands of a live shoot. --Michael Mikesell

Visual odometry involves the computation of 3-D motion and (or) trajectory by tracking features in the video or image sequences recorded by the camera(s) on some autonomous terrestrial, aerial, and marine robotics platform. For exploration, mapping, inspection, and surveillance operations within turbid waters, high-frequency 2-D forward-scan sonar systems offer a significant advantage over cameras by providing both imagery with target details and attractive tradeoff in range, resolution, and data rate. Operating these at grazing incidence gives larger scene coverage and improved image quality due to the dominance of diffuse backscattered reflectance but induces cast shadows that are typically more distinct than brightness patterns due to the direct reflectance of casting objects. For the computation of 3-D motion by automatic video processing, the estimation accuracy and robustness can be enhanced by integrating the visual cues from shadow dynamics with the image flow of stationary 3-D objects, both induced by sonar motion. In this paper, we present the mathematical models of image flow for 3-D objects and their cast shadows, utilize them in devising various 3-D sonar motion estimation solutions, and study their robustness. We present results of experiments with both synthetic and real data in order to assess the accuracy and performance of these methods.

A few days ago, my site, wgm360online.com was hacked by what I'm pretty sure was a Libyan hacking team. They were apparently upset about that video and chose to hack my site. Fun times.
Anyway, I moved my site onto another server and reinstalled WordPress and updated everything that needed an update.
The only problem I'm having now is that I can't write or edit posts within the "Edit Post" field.
I'm experiencing similar problems to many who have posted on here before. For instance, the formatting toolbar doesn't show up under the 'visual' tab and I can't switch to the HTML tab.
I've cleared my browser cache and deleted my entire internet history and restarted my computer. I also logged on to my dashboard from a colleague's computer who also cleared her cache, deleted browser history and restarted her computer. She uses a Windows machine, I use a Mac.
What's different from others who have posted about problems with the Write/Edit Post field before, is that I think I can edit posts in the field, it may just be that the text in the field is white so it only shows up when I highlight it. This isn't consistent though. Only posts that have already been started before the hack have "highlightable" text. If I want to start a new post, nothing seems to happen when I type.
I'm at my wit's end with this one. I'm guessing this is a lingering result of being hacked, but I can't figure out how to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

The 2014 Sochi Olympics are well underway. Fans have already been awed by the power and strength displayed by athletes in snowboarding, figure skating and skiing, to name just a few of the sports we've been watching since February 6th. It's impossible to watch these athletes compete and not marvel at the amazing abilities of mind and body.
For every one of the Olympians, that power and strength most certainly comes from extraordinary talent and training, as well as discipline and the desire to push the envelope of their sport. But it is fascinating to learn what an important role nutritional concerns play in their development and their ability to compete at such an intense level.
The nutritionists and dietitians at the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) play a joint role when it comes to making sure the athletes' nutritional needs are met on and off the field. Concentrating on service, education and research the sports nutrition experts at the USOC adhere to a three-pronged approach to helping athletes achieve excellence. By incorporating the expertise from the USOC's sports medicine division and strength and conditioning team, sports nutrition experts utilize science as the foundation of performance enhancement.
Allen Tran is a high performance chef for the US Ski and Snowboard Association and this year's US Olympic ski and snowboard teams in Sochi. In an interview, he commented about the nutritional needs of the US team. "When it comes to nutritional needs, athletes definitely need to incorporate a combination of lean protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and nutrient-dense fruits and veggies. That's the nutritional base for many of my meals."
Chef Tran's sample menu includes oatmeal, Greek yogurt with fresh berries for breakfast and veggie and beef Texas chili and spinach salad with avocado for lunch.
Kelly Anne Erdman, MSc, R.D., former Olympic cyclist, 1992 Barcelona Games, helps organize the nutrition programs for Canada's top athletes at the Canadian Sport Centre in Calgary. She commented, "We're looking at high-quality sources of protein—beef, pork, eggs, turkey. That's their main recovery meal, which is generally after their midday weight-and-resistance training." Whole-grain rice and pasta as well as fresh vegetables round out the athletes' diets.
The general nutrition guidelines for the USA team include: Consume a low saturated fat diet, (less than 7 percent of total calories. No more than one gram of saturated fat per 100 calories. Consume more monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as oily fish, leafy greens, almonds, cashews and avocados. Eat foods with plant sterols and sterols which are found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds and commercially prepared butter-like table spreads.
Optimal hydration supports daily training and recovery. Suggestions to help increase fluid intake at training or competition include drinking cool fluids (59 degrees) in hot weather and warm fluids in cold weather. Sodium is critical for optimal cellular rehydration and should be included in drinks when athletes do not have the opportunity to consume electrolytes naturally found in food. Low fat milk and flavored milk have been shown to be effective rehydration solutions.
While most of us aren't world-class athletes adhering to an intense training schedule (and probably have no need to consume the number of calories per day as those who are), we can all find the nutritional sense in the guidelines these professionals have outlined. Lean protein, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds … real foods that are nutritionally valuable can help keep all of our bodies performing at optimal levels. Even if we aren't attempting a triple toe loop or a triple cork or looking to fly over 240 meters on a ski jump, optimal health is a goal that should have us all trying to eat like Olympians.

I needed somewhere centrally located when I visited Singapore.
Wimdu communicated exceptionally well.

The accommodation exceeded my expectation and the local knowledge shared onsite was invaluable.
All in all a great experience.

Clean and tidy place. very secure and central location. highly recommended and willing to stay next time also.
We stayed for two nights during the first week of December. During our stay, there was no hot water.
Ruhig, sauber, ein Zimmer-Studio mit eigener Waschmaschine, kleines Bad, großer Kühlschrank, 10-15min zur MRT oder zur Orchardstreet. Reibungslose Schlüsselübergabe, professionelle Vermietung von mehreren Studios, Darrick nicht gesehen, wurde von Mitarbeiter gemanagt.
alles super geklappt, Schlüsselübergabe erfolgte von einem Mitarbeiter,
zentrale Lage, U-Bahn ca. 10 min. entfernt und von dort alles super einfach zu erreichen, ruhige Lage
Zimmer einfach ausgestattet, Kühlschrank, TV (schlechter Empfang)
Great to stay here. Good informed and friendly staff. We stayed there for six days with our young children. Great location and you can access any sightseeing places at ease. I would recommend this place for everyone especially those who travel with young children. Thank you Darrick!
According to description, well-located, well-organised, absolutely recommendable
Indeed the appt was brandnew and very calm. relative good access to MRT, but very nice walking of 15 min to Clay Quai and Robertson Clay.
All in all highly recommended!
Very good Communication before arrival!
Due to a delay of our flight we arrived at 9pm which was also okay and there was still somebody to give us the key and show us accommodation!
The room looked almost like shown on the pictures and is clean.
The apartment is just 5 min walk to Orchard Road.
Just one negative point: We had room 2F which lays directly next to a Hugh fan or something like that and was running the whole night! For us no problem because it was only one night and we were very tiered due to the long flight. But I guess if you stay there for more nights it will bother you!

Hingham – Cornelia A. Kelley, the former headmaster of Boston Latin School, is the new interim president of Notre Dame Academy.
She takes over from Sister Barbara A. Barry, who was appointed to the national leadership team for the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, the order which founded and operates the school.
Kelley is a 1965 graduate of the school, when it was located in Roxbury at that time. She said she is "proud and humbled" to be returning to the school.
"As an alumna, I know firsthand NDA is a place that encourages young women to reach their potential and expand their hearts and minds," Kelley said.
MaryCarroll Sullivan, the chair of the school's board of directors, said Kelley has been a longtime and enthusiastic supporter of the school.
"She brings her wisdom and extensive experience to the position," Sullivan said.
Kelley was the first female headmaster of Boston Latin School, the nation's oldest public school. She held that post from 1998 to her retirement in 2007. Since then, she has worked as an educational consultant, leading accreditation efforts for international schools. She has also served on the academy's board of directors.
She is a graduate of the Newton College of the Sacred Heart and earned a master's degree and a certificate of advance graduate studies from Boston State College. She has been awarded honorary degrees from Simmons College and Boston College.
The school will now begin the formal search process for the role of permanent president. The school has approximately 600 students in Grades 7-12.

I appologize for the newbie question, I'm hoping someone here can help.
I have a computer (windows Vista) that I've shared specific folders on. I have my new computer (Win 7) that I'm trying to connect to the Vista machine with.
When I go to Networking I see the Vista machine but when I try to explore it, I get a username and password prompt. I tried logging in with my user name for vista and I even tried logging in with Guest. However, I am still unable to get access to the folders on that machine.
I'm sure this is something really simple, I'm just not familiar with it.

NEW BRAUNFELS (August 10, 2014) A Texas trooper shot a man who was resisting arrest and reaching for the officer's gun during a traffic stop early Saturday in Guadalupe County.
The trooper pulled the man over on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Jason Reyes said.
The trooper tried to arrest the man after he failed a sobriety test, but the man resisted, Reyes said.
Reyes says the trooper shot the man with a stun gun and was later forced to shoot him with his pistol after the man tried to grab the weapon.
The man was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center, where he was in critical but stable condition.
Reyes says the trooper was not injured.
The Texas Rangers are investigating the shooting.

Is it a good design pattern, in this case for Android, to persist the application state for wherever the user is, or should this be done just for the first level of depth?
Generally its not good to save the state because the user can get confused easily. But for a shopping list app, it might be a good idea.
When I go out for shopping, I want to see my list quickly. I'm overwhelmed at the store and my hands are already busy picking things. I'd appreciate if the saved state can save me a button press or two.
Btw I can't imagine a deep hierarchy for a shopping list app. There could be categories of lists and that's all; even sub-categories would be too much in my opinion. I'd reckon you save the state. But do keep a button to go back to the top level.

"She's definitely been a great influence on me. I've always felt like I've been dedicated to the game and I've practised hard and I've worked at it.
"But I guess over the past 18 months, especially after winning the US Open, I sort of felt like I went to the next stage of my career," he added.

* For information regarding assumptions made in establishing these completion rates, click here
The completion rate data presented here is calculated using the following assumptions:
- The Enrollment Cohort includes all students who started in a program for the first time during the enrollment cohort (financial aid award year, "FA AY"). Re-entries are not considered a "start" in the enrollment cohort (FA AY) if they attended the program in a previous enrollment cohort (FA AY), regardless of how long it has been since their prior attendance.
- The enrollment cohort excludes any students that died, if applicable. The enrollment cohort does not exclude permanently disabled students who were unable to continue on at least a half-time basis.
- Students are considered completers if they became a graduate in the program. Students with any status other than graduate are considered non-completers.
- These calculations use the federal financial aid definition of full-time, and less than full time (number of credits) to determine the cohort the student's completion information will be calculated in. The number of credits the student is enrolled in on the student's first day of attendance is used to determine the student's status. As such, students are considered full-time if they are taking 12 credits or more, and considered less than full time if they are taking less than 12 credits. All modular students are considered full time.
The following calculations are used to display completion information based on the students FT or less than FT status:
- (# of full time students in enrollment cohort ("EC") who completed within 100% program length) / (# of full-time students in EC)
- (# of full time students in EC who completed within 150% program length) / (# of full-time students in EC)
- (# of less-than-full-time students in EC who completed within 200% program length) / (# of less-than-full-time students in EC)
- (# of less-than-full-time students in EC who completed within 300% program length) / (# of less-than-full-time students in EC)
- These disclosures reflect completion percentages for the enrollment cohort (by financial aid award year, July 1- June 30) that will provide the most recent group of completers for the longer of the two completion percentages. Specifically, we select the most recent enrollment cohort (FA AY) for the full-time students to have had enough time to complete 150% of their program length; and, we select the most recent enrollment cohort (FA AY) for the less than full-time students to have had time to complete 300% of their program length. As such, enrollment cohorts may vary dependent on program length.

Silent in the Grave (Paperback)
Email or call for price
Special Order
"Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave."
These ominous words are the last threat that Sir Edward Grey receives from his killer. Before he can show them to Nicholas Brisbane, the private inquiry agent he has retained for his protection, he collapses and dies at his London home, in the presence of his wife, Julia, and a roomful of dinner guests.
Prepared to accept that Edward's death was due to a long-standing physical infirmity, Julia is outraged when Brisbane visits and suggests that her husband was murdered. It is a reaction she comes to regret when she discovers damning evidence for herself, and realizes the truth.
Determined to bring the murderer to justice, Julia engages the enigmatic Brisbane to help her investigate Edward's demise. Dismissing his warnings that the investigation will be difficult, if not impossible, Julia presses forward, following a trail of clues that lead her to even more unpleasant truths, and ever closer to a killer who waits expectantly for her arrival.

Gerhard Richter: An Artist Beyond Isms
Published: January 27, 2002
(Page 4 of 8)
The point, among other things, was to distance himself from the cliches of artistic expression -- all the spontaneous, fiery, warm and fuzzy modes of painting -- so as to make people really look and not reflexively swoon. By using deliberately banal photographs, impersonally mimicked, he was doing the exact opposite of what painting was expected to do, not grabbing a viewer by the lapels but methodically copying an everyday image. In time, some of the pictures have come to look expressively painted, perceptions having changed, but making methodical copies was Richter's intent.
''The abstracts are the opposite to work on,'' he says. ''That process is more like walking, step by step, without an intention, until you discover where you are going. When I paint a landscape from a photograph or an image like this one, I can see the end point before I start, although in fact it always turns out slightly different than I imagined. What I have is not facility, because this really doesn't take skill. I have an eye. I couldn't make a drawing of you sitting here right now. I would love to have that ability, in the same way that I would love to play the piano. Virtuosity is a precondition for pianists, but in addition you have to be good. These are not the same thing. This is the big problem for painting today, the terrible side of modern art, because you can now do anything and simply declare it to be art -- with no sense of quality.''
In the mid-60's, Richter began painting color charts. They were like the paint charts in hardware stores, only bigger, and the colors were not in any particular order. The charts looked Pop and also Minimalist, but they weren't either, precisely. They weren't even exactly abstract, being adaptations of real objects. But they were catchy and colorful. Richter had found an in-between space -- neither Pop nor Minimalism and not simply Conceptualism -- from which to reconsider abstract art. As a Modern curator, Peter Galassi, puts it, Richter was like the suitor ''who expresses the purity of his love by rejecting the tired gestures of romance.'' He ''discovered a way to make big seductive paintings by renouncing what he regarded as the worn-out cliches of abstraction.''
The United States, puffed up about its own art for so many years, has condescended toward European art since World War II, notwithstanding the international vogue for neo-Expressionism during the 1980's. Neo-Expressionism was the epitome of heart on the sleeve, gestural painting, with which Richter's abstractions were confused. Richter got a boost financially from that burst of attention: the American art market, above all, made him a rich man. But the vogue lumped him with German artists like Georg Baselitz and Markus Lupertz, who had more in common with fashionable Americans like Julian Schnabel and David Salle. Richter remembers ''all those vile painters and then Tom Krens doing that horrible show,'' referring to the Guggenheim director's smorgasbord of German art in the late 80's, ''Refigured Painting,'' which introduced some people to Richter's work but left many of them saying that they never wanted to look at another contemporary German painting again, Richter's or anybody else's.
Neo-Expressionism finally sank from the weight of its mediocrity, and Richter was liberated from that connection, but this left many people still puzzling over his art. It refused to fit into pigeonholes. Picasso, the exception to everything, got away with being a chameleon. But critics, not to mention auction houses and collectors, generally prefer painters to be consistent. Richter flaunted his inconstancy, implying that no mode was better than any other -- that realism and abstraction were interchangeable.
This attitude may have befuddled the public, but it made him the ideal man for the postmodernists, who came along by the 90's. They repackaged him as a deconstructivist, one of those conceptual artists dismantling the language of art only to leave it in disarray, the Jean Baudrillard of painting. ''I know nothing, can do nothing, understand nothing, know nothing, nothing,'' Richter said, and it became one of his most frequently cited remarks. To postmodernists, nihilism became the essence of his art. He made his so-called in-paintings by pushing different colors of paint around with a meandering brush, like a bored child, until they made gray slush. What could seem more nihilistic than that?
Meanwhile, the pictures he copied from family photos and newspaper illustrations, while they seemed to owe something to Pop and Andy Warhol, exploited the pathos and banality of the ordinary snapshot: ''I was surprised by photography, which we all use so massively every day. Suddenly, I saw it in a new way, as a picture that offered me a new view, free of all the conventional criteria I had always associated with art. It had no style, no composition, no judgment. It freed me from personal experience. For the first time, there was nothing to it: it was pure picture. That's why I wanted to have it, to show it -- not use it as a means to painting, but use painting as a means to photography.''

Sanofi is preparing to lay off 1,000 to 2,000 of its French employees as the embattled pharma giant steps up cost-cutting efforts, according to a report in the French newspaper Le Figaro.
Citing unnamed sources, the newspaper reported earlier today that the jobs to be eliminated are in the research and manufacturing operations of Sanofi's Pasteur vaccines unit, as well as in some support operations at the company's Paris headquarters.
An unnamed Sanofi spokesman would not comment on the report, but did confirm that executives would meet today with the company's works council, an organization that supports employees.
The reported layoff is not Sanofi's first in France, where the company eliminated 4,000 jobs between 2009 and last year. In September, Sanofi announced plans to shrink its global R&D workforce from 13,000 to 10,000 staffers—but added that employees would be spared at Genzyme, the US rare-disease drugs company Sanofi snapped up last year for $20.1 billion.
Late last year, Sanofi restructured its U.S. R&D operations in New Jersey and Massachusetts, and according to the UK newspaper Business Weekly, told 70 workers at the Genzyme research center in Cambridge, UK, that it may shut the newly-acquired facility for budgetary reasons and concentrate its research work in the Boston/Cambridge, MA, region as well as France, Germany, and Asia.
Like other pharma giants, Sanofi is scrambling to make up for sales revenues it is set to lose due to the "patent cliff" expiration of brand-name drugs—notably Plavix, the blockbuster blood-clotting drug which saw its US patent exclusivity end on May 17. Plavix is sold under a partnership with Bristol-Myers Squibb (which markets the drug in the US); and Avapro, the blood pressure medication that lost exclusivity on March 30.
During the first quarter, Sanofi generated net profit of €2.4 billion (about $3 billion), up 8.4% from a year earlier after accounting for changes in currency rates—but Q1 numbers were swelled, the company acknowledges, by the €505 million ($624.6 million) generated by sales of Plavix, almost flat (down 0.2%) from a year earlier at constant exchange rates. Avapro racked up €404 million ($499.7 million) during Q1, down 18.1% at constant exchange rates due to generic competition. That competition was especially strong in the US, where sales declined 37% year-to-year affecting the class. U.S. sales declined 37.0%, reflecting the loss of exclusivity on March 30.
Sanofi has warned analysts that it expects its earnings per share this year to be 12% to 15% below 2011 results.
FDA has not approved a new Sanofi treatment since June 17, 2010, when the agency okayed use of Jevtana on June 17, 2010, for hormone refractory metastatic prostate cancer.
Sanofi suffered its latest R&D setback late last month, when an FDA advisory panel voted 14–1 to urge against recommending agency approval of semuloparin, saying the blood-clot drug didn't provide enough of a benefit as a treatment for venous thromboembolism among high-risk patients receiving chemotherapy for some forms of cancer. The company has said it expects a decision by FDA later this year.

Last week, a Leith Valley resident contacted the Star
with concerns that the river had undermined its banks beside
Malvern St.
A section of retaining wall had fallen away creating a small
cave in the river bank which the Leith passed through.
The resident was concerned the gap made the bank unstable and
might put the public at risk because people often walked or
parked cars on the grassy verge above the river.
Otago Regional Council director engineering hazards and
science Gavin Palmer said the ORC was aware there had been
problems periodically at the location, most notably bank
erosion as a result of an April 2006 event.
''The DCC addressed this at the time as the threat was to
their infrastructure [public roads] as it may be now. That is
a matter that DCC will need to assess in terms of the road
reserve and the road itself,'' he said.
''This is outside the extents of the Leith Flood Protection
Scheme, however ORC is happy to advise DCC on the solutions
available to them to reduce the risk of further erosion of
the road reserve.''
Bank erosion was a natural process and the approach that
should be taken and the responsibility for acting on that
depended on the particular situation, he said.
''We are however reviewing our approach to management of
river banks, starting with the Kakanui/Kauru Rivers in North
DCC transportation policy engineer Jon Visser said the DCC
was aware of the erosion on the banks of the Leith.
''The Leith bed has been continually changing, since even
before the Dunedin city area was settled. The DCC has been
monitoring this particular location and is prepared to
intervene if required.
"The issue is general erosion of the unsupported bank. At
this stage, the DCC does not believe the erosion presents a
significant risk to the road or road reserve, although that
position may change,'' he said.
