:-S Finding a clinic with a metabolic specialist might require some travel. They're not exactly common!! What state do you live in?? Can you contact someone like Health and Human Services and ask them for assistance regarding your financial situation? Tell them it is EXTREMELY important. At least annual checkups are essential in keeping your PKU body healthy!!! I'm betting there's some requirement for the state to pay or something out there!! If you can't find anything, let me know. My mom works as a social worker in Nebraska. Maybe she would know something about your state as well.

Partner In Caring
Imagine being 95 years old
Peggy became a member of ElderHelp's Concierge Club 8 years ago when she was first faced with the struggles of aging at home and alone. ElderHelp performed a thorough home safety inspection and determined that Peggy needed some measures in place to help her live safely in her own home. These improvements included a smoke alarm, CO2 detector, grab bars and a lift chair. In addition, ElderHelp was able to generate the funding needed to hire Grondin Construction to install a custom ramp to improve the accessibility of her home.
Imagine falling down and living every day in pain
Due to special circumstances, Peggy was not able to collect social security and was not eligible for Medicare. With mounting bills and rising debt, Peggy could not afford the home health support she needed. Just when she thought things could not get much worse, Peggy fell and was faced with impending hip surgery. Post surgery, Peggy could not afford the around the clock support that she needed and her health began to decline. At 95 years old, Peggy was alone and without the resources needed to cope with the circumstances she now faced.
Imagine being in debt without the money to pay your bills
Our dedicated Member Care Coordinator, Monica, remained committed to getting Peggy the help that she needed. She evaluated Peggy's financial situation and determined the support Peggy would need to remain living independent in her own home. Through a program we offered in partnership with Sharp, Peggy was able to fund some of her cost of living through a charitable grant annuity. Monica also connected Peggy with the firm The Organizer that provided fiduciary services including a bill pay service, power of attorney and medical advocacy.
Imagine being alone with no family nearby
Without family to help care for Peggy, Monica contacted Veteran's Friend for guidance in completing the extensive application needed to enroll Peggy in the "aid and attendance" program through the VA. While Peggy had tried to complete the application many times on her own, it was too difficult and complicated for her to complete. After several weeks, Monica successfully completed the application process and Peggy was given the opportunity to hire home care and enroll in hospice so she could remain in the familiar surroundings of her own home. By connecting Peggy with ElderHelp's partners, Monica helped Peggy find the resources she needed to pay the bills, develop a budget, reduce debt and give her peace of mind knowing that she will be well taken care of during this stage in her life.
Now IMAGINE if this was you or someone you loved
By joining ElderHelp as a Partner in Caring, you can help a senior stay safe and comfortable at home rather than face institutionalization. The services we provide through ElderHelp's Concierge Club gives San Diego seniors the support they need to remain living independently in their own home. We rely on the support of individuals like you to reach seniors who are isolated and living in fear of getting older. Please consider making a donation today as a Partner in Caring and help us make a difference in the lives of seniors living in San Diego.

Mary Decker Slaney/Zola Budd documentary on ESPN

Zola Budd was pure media hype.
|by Anonymous
|reply 1
If it's like the other episodes of the series, ESPN or ESPN2 will re-air it a couple of time over the next week. I just checked the schedule and the next time it will be shown is 3am Sunday morning on ESPN2.
It was good, OP. It was nice to see Zola interviewed for it as well since I basically only knew her as the devil that prevented Saint Mary from winning an Olympic medal.
But just like the Katharina Witt episode the week before, there wasn't enough time to go into much detail about really important things, so the show kind of glazes over them.
For example - Zola tells of how after she was granted a British passport so that she could compete internationally, she saw protesters at races for the first time. When she saw people holding signs saying "Free Mandela," she didn't even know who he was and had to ask her coach who he was and why they were holding those signs.
Then she mentioned that while living at home in South Africa she wasn't privy to the news and certainly not to the international reaction to apartheid. And that was it.
That alone would be so fascinating to know more about - but they couldn't get into it in this hour.

r5, Sullivan had a brief, unpleasant resurgence at E! (this was several years after she flamed out at CBS; E was still a throwaway channel at that time). She was also the celebrity spokesperson for one of the weight-loss companies for a while.
Have heard over the years since that she is essentially retired, plays golf, lives in the Palm Springs area. At her peak (ABC), she was one of the hottest talents in news; if she'd lasted, she would be giving Diane Sawyer a run for her money today.
At the very least she could have been a real contender at KABC/KCBS/KNBC in LA.

Zola's life seems pretty interesting and I wonder if this could be a movie someday. She's married with children (I mention that because I wouldn't have been surprised if she was lesbian) and has lived in South Carolina since 2008. She still runs competitively and now does marathons.
In the ESPN thing she mentions that her parents split up shortly before the Olympics. Her secretly gay father became estranged from her later and eventually was murdered - possibly by a trick gone wrong.

Nobody though Mary was a saint, even before the race. She was always a rather nasty piece of work.
Wasn't the whole incident partly her fault anyway for running into Budd's lane? What does the documentary say?
|by Anonymous
|reply 12
The documentary was pretty excellent, giving good background information about Mary and Zola; a review of the infamous incident; and follow-ups about their lives afterwards.
There is most definitely no consensus as to who was at fault. On the one hand, Zola was ahead of Mary, so you could say that-- just like with car accidents-- it can never be the fault of the person ahead. On the other hand, Zola's left leg clearly came in between Mary's, so in a sense the part of Zola's body that was behind a part of Mary's body caused the whole incident. Certainly my view is that Zola pretty clearly interfered, but I acknowledge that some informed people have a very different view.
The documentary was very well balanced on explaining Mary's reaction afterwards. Many journalists pounced on her sour grapes and "whining"; while Mary gave a very reasonable explanation that an entire lifetime of work and expectations leading up to that very moment crashed and burned in one horrific instant: she had every right to be upset. I'm on Mary's side on this one. Again, views differ.
I think it's clear that the filmmaker admires Mary, but the film was not hagiographic. It was very, very well done.

The mismatch warning is an Arch Linux "packages build and distribution" problem.
Youtube-dl-gui now requires twodict. I have added python2-twodict-git to the AUR. Install it, for example, by running:

@B4SH-B00STER: Thanks. Note: your PKGBUILD has another package name.
I can include the "license install" part the PKGBUILD file.
I'm not sure I should include the "youtube-dl-gui.patch" file. This should be "fixed" upstream, I think, so it will work on any Linux distro and maybe on other operating systems.

How To Program a Dish Network Remote: Using Your Remote with a New Device
Did you only get a brand new device as a TV or Blu-Ray player? What is it with a brand new Dish Network handheld remote control or receiver? If you probably did, then you'll got to program your Dish Network remote to ensure that it may control that device before you begin channel surfing. The method is a little more involved than you may expect, so let's review how you can program a couple of Dish Network remote models !
One reason people have trouble attempting to program Dish Network remotes is because there will be lots of different models available, for any collection of different devices. We're going to attempt to cover the most famous remotes, but when we don't be able to arrive at yours, We've a suggestion : discover the remote that appears the foremost much like yours, and find out when the instructions are close sufficient to apply. If you only can't figure it, call up customer service and correctly to steer you through it. Sometimes a step-by-step lesson is simply what you have to determine how the remote works.
Connecting to TVs or Other Devices (Not Receivers)
50.0 and 52.0 Models
These models are many of the more advanced versions of Disk Network remotes, and tend to labor with modern, more modular menus. Because the 2 processes are so similar, we're grouping them under a similar group of instructions. However, because the remotes are just a little different, stay patient and ensure that you're picking the ideal buttons and on-screen options.
Step 1:Turn your TV / Device on, and press the Home button upon the remote twice – it's the house icon inside the upper left corner. This should pop open the Dish menu, with rows of colorful icons to select from. In case your TV stays blank, ensure that your Dish receiver is properly connected towards the TV by using the right ports (this can be a common early problem, and ought to always be the very first thing which you check if something goes wrong ).
Step 2: Inside the Dish menu, look out for a turning gears icon (see below ) to locate Settings. Select Settings, which should bring up another menu that deals with your accessories and controls. Toward the highest you ought to find an icon for the Remote Control. Head over there and choose it next.
Step 3: This brings to some screen that lists TV and additional device sections, and when any models happen to be known towards the unit (none probably are, or you wouldn't do this ). Select the kind of device that you are attempting to produce a permanent connection to.
Step 4 : This'll bring up a screen with a couple of different choices for interaction using the device. Keep this screen on your mind because it's handy for programming extras on smart TVs, except for now you would like to choose the TV Pairing Wizard at the highest in order to make this easy.
Step 5 : Subsequent screen will bring up a listing of brands. Choose your device brand, then choose Next. This'll lead one to a testing screen that could ask one to push the Volume and Mute buttons in your remote. The internal system has automatically chosen a pairing code it thinks will work, but it requires you to ensure. The Volume and Mute buttons are easy ways to discover when the remote is interacting using the TV : push them, and you ought to immediately seen volume change / mute effects upon the screen.
Step 6:In case you begin to see the Volume effects upon the screen, congratulations ! Your remote is paired. You are able to select Finished and head out of here. In case you don't see any Volume effects and nothing seems to labor, then choose Try Next Code instead. This'll transfer to a special code that the internal system thinks will work using the remote and brand. Try again, and will keep cycling through codes until you discover one which works.
40.0 Model
The 40. 0 remote is just a little weird, because it's used with two different Dish Network remote programming menus. Here's the deal : in case your typical Dish channel lineup menu (to browse what's on TV ) has got the preview and summary to the ideal side from the screen, then go as much as our instructions to the 50. 0 and 52. 0, because they're the identical. However, in case your menu screen has got the preview and info at the highest from the screen, the method is similar but a brand new walkthrough is useful. Start here.
Step 1 : Press the Menu button in your control – it's toward the highest, and says "Menu" right above it, so it's type of a challenge to miss.
Step 2 : This should bring up a series of icons that you may access to learn more and apps. Again, if the menu doesn't show up you will want to examine your cable connections and ensure that everything is working correctly. Look out for the icon that says Settings and choose it.
Step 3 : Another series of icons will pop up. Select the one which says Remote Manager. This'll bring one to a screen that says "TV Code, " "DVD Code" and "AUX Code. " Pick the one which matches the device you're establishing, and proceed.
Step 4:
You can examine your manual for any setup code if you would like at this stage, but the internal system will help you find one in case you choose "Lookup Code. " This choice will require one to another screen where one can choose the make of your device and choose Next.
Step 5 : You'll now be asked to test your Volume controls. The Volume buttons will be the plus and minus signs above the "wheel" in your remote. Try them out and ensure that the volume signals upon the TV / device are responding.
Step 6 : When the volume controls do nothing and there's no sign on any readout, then try another code. While you are able to undergo every code available in your model, we suggest instead which you choose "Enter Model" and enter the precise model of your respective device to pinpoint precisely what you'll need. When you discover the ideal code, select Yes and Save. You're done !
20.0, 20.1, 21.0, and 21.1 Models
All of these are earlier remote controls for Dish Network : they've lots of buttons, however the programming process is thankfully a little easier. Note, however, that these older products might not be as compatible with newer TVs along with other devices. Like other tech, Dish Network devices can age from the market, if you haven't updated your Dish receiver shortly, it might be time to seem into an upgrade – especially in case you encounter problems trying to work out how you can program Dish Network remotes to TV models which are far newer.
Step 1 : Look your three-digit handheld remote control code. These remotes don't support an automatic look for handheld remote control codes for whatever device you happen to become using. So your first step ought to be to interrupt the manual and check for the ideal Dish Network remote programming codes for the TV, DVD player, or anything other device that you're using. Check in the first pages from the manual, or you can't see it, then Google your model number and "remote control code" because others may have experienced a similar question. If you need to, you are able to always call customer service or look up support upon the Dish website.
Step 2:
Activate the ideal device setup. Look into the four buttons at the same top of your respective remote. You'll see choices for TV, DVD, and AUX. Choose the choice that describes the device you're connecting the foremost accurately, after which hold down that button until all four from the buttons flash.
Step 3 : You ought to now have the ability to go into the three-digit code using the amount pad in the bottom from the remote. But wait ! If you're by using the AUX mode, there's a special extra step : You need to identify which sort of device is connected towards the AUX port. This effectively turns the three number code into your four number code. If you're connecting a TV, start having a 0. If you're connecting a DVD or similar device, get started by 1. If it's another device, get started by 2. Note that it only applies towards the AUX button. If you're establishing another two buttons, stick using the three-digit code.
Step 4 : Once you're done inputting numbers, press the pound / hashtag sign. This should cause the button you're programming to flash three times.
Step 5 : Test the connection by pressing the ability button. The device you are attempting to link to should turn on or off ! When the Dish remote Isn't working, be certain the connections are found out correctly.
Connecting to Receivers
Are you currently attempting to connect a remote for an existing DISH Network receiver and keeping some trouble? There's a separate setup procedure for connecting to receivers that you'll got to follow. The excellent news is it's generally simpler than connecting with other devices. So, let's again break it down by remote as well as what steps you have to take !
Note : These remotes are made to be paired using the intended DISH Network receiver. They aren't designed to become paired with DISH receivers which are an excessive amount older or an excessive amount newer. Basically, don't attempt to pair a remote in one model having a receiver from different model.
52.0 Model
Step 1 : Check out your receiver. You ought to see an inferior, round button on the ideal side called Sys Info, right from the red reset button. Provides it a press. This should cause the System Info screen to pop up in your TV, but you are able to ignore it in the meantime.
Step 2 : Look upon the side of your respective remote – the very first side button ought to be SAT. Provides it a press, too.
Step 3. Now look into the front, top portion of your respective remote. Right beneath the home button, you ought to discover a button that says Back. Press it too.
Step 4 : Now review your TV. The System Info screen should vanish. If this doesn't, manually reset the remote and check out again.
50.0 Model
Excellent news ! This really is just such as the 52. 0 model. The only real difference is, whenever you press the SAT button upon the side from the remote, it ought to respond with three chimes to let you will know that you're doing the ideal thing (the 52. 0 model doesn't make any sound ). Otherwise, repeat the steps just as they're to the 52. 0.
40.0 Model
Step 1 : Head over within your receiver and look out for a button that says Sys Info. It's usually upon the right-hand side, although this will vary between receiver models. Once you discover it, press it and await the System Info screen to pop up in your TV so you will know that you're inside the right mode.
Step 2 : Now attend your remote. Along the highest you ought to see four buttons. The very first one should say SAT : press it down. You ought to hire three growing chimes to let you will know that it step worked.
Step 3 : Look down upon the lower right section of your remote, next towards the selection wheel. You ought to see a button labeled as "Cancel. " Press it. This should automatically result in the System Info window vanish from the screen. If this stays, probably the connection didn't work. Attempt to reset your remote and check out again.
Other (Older) Models
This relates to other, older receivers you'll have – basically, the silver remotes. This really is unlikely to refer to your circumstances if you don't broke your old remote and received a new version. Since it's probably been a couple of years since you paired the remote, it's time for any refresher approach do it right.
Step 1 : Press the System Info button. For older receivers, this button is located behind the door upon the receiver front – the panel that pops open. This also needs to bring in the System Info screen in your TV screen.
Step 2 : In your remote, you ought to see four buttons at the same top. Press the SAT button on the same left.
Step 3 : Now look down to the red Record button, which ought to be inside the lower center of your respective remote. Press it next (don't worry, it won't start recording anything ).
Step 4 : Upon the System Info screen, the center button should say "Done. " Select this, and you ought to be finished !

It was cool...
Hey dude,
i liked your animation, your back ground drawings were nice, and really well drawn, your effects such as the water droplets and the smoke were awesome and well done, but ive gotta agree with the other reviewer the people let you down, you seemed to use a quite a few tweens which is good, but didnt really have much real animation in there apart from the effects, i understand that its a showcase of work over 2 years and i think i can see the progression from one part to another. i really liked the music line going up and down in time with the song, i havent seen that before so well done, all in all dude i reckon get yourself together alittle animation and it'll give you some more confidence when drawing and animating people, good work, just remember practise is the key.

But he said, "You shall see it with your own eyes, but you shall not eat of it."
3 Now there were four men who were lepers at the entrance to the gate. And they said to one another, "Why are we sitting here until we die? 4 If we say, 'Let us enter the city,' the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit here, we die also. So now come, let us go over to the camp of the Syrians. If they spare our lives we shall live, and if they kill us we shall but die." 5 So they arose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. But when they came to the edge of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no one there. 6 For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians hear the sound of chariots and of horses, the sound of a great army, so that they said to one another, "Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt to come against us." 7 So they fled away in the twilight and abandoned their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, leaving the camp as it was, and fled for their lives. 8 And when these lepers came to the edge of the camp, they went into a tent and ate and drank, and they carried off silver and gold and clothing and went and hid them. Then they came back and entered another tent and carried off things from it and went and hid them.
9 Then they said to one another, "We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news. If we are silent and wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come; let us go and tell the king's household." 10 So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city and told them, "We came to the camp of the Syrians, and behold, there was no one to be seen or heard there, nothing but the horses tied and the donkeys tied and the tents as they were." 11 Then the gatekeepers called out, and it was told within the king's household. 12 And the king rose in the night and said to his servants, "I will tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the open country, thinking, 'When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive and get into the city.'" 13 And one of his servants said, "Let some men take five of the remaining horses, seeing that those who are left here will fare like the whole multitude of Israel who have already perished. Let us send and see." 14 So they took two horsemen, and the king sent them after the army of the Syrians, saying, "Go and see." 15 So they went after them as far as the Jordan, and behold, all the way was littered with garments and equipment that the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. And the messengers returned and told the king.
16 Then the people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord. 17 Now the king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate. And the people trampled him in the gate, so that he died, as the man of God had said when the king came down to him. 18 For when the man of God had said to the king, "Two seahs of barley shall be sold for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, about this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria," 19 the captain had answered the man of God, "If the Lord himself should make windows in heaven, could such a thing be?" And he had said, "You shall see it with your own eyes, but you shall not eat of it." 20 And so it happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gate and he died. (ESV)
1 Thessalonians 2:13-16
13 And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers. 14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, 15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind 16 by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But God's wrath has come upon them at last! (ESV)

One of the South's top offensive linemen, Brian Johnson of Tallahassee Godby, has scheduled three official visits.
Johnson, who is 6-foot-5, 300 pounds, is scheduled to visit LSU on Nov. 30, USC on Dec. 7 and Clemson on Jan. 11. Johnson says he is considering Arkansas, North Carolina, North Carolina State and South Carolina for his two remaining official visits.
Johnson will make the trek to USC with Godby teammate Edmond Miles.
"I wouldn't say I have a specific leader just now. There are a couple of teams I like and I've set up visits with them. The others, I like them too, but we'll just have to see how they fit in," Johnson said.
Johnson has had to play offensive tackle as a senior, but he says every team is recruiting him primarily as an offensive guard, the position he started at as a high school sophomore and junior.

A new report from the Yale Program on Climate Communication offers new data on Americans' beliefs and attitudes about climate change, with a particular emphasis on the influence of political views.
A record was broken in a new poll from Gallup, which found that 65% of Americans believe that increases in the earth's temperature over the last century are due more to "the effects of pollution from human activities" than to "natural causes in the environment that are not due to human activities."
According (PDF) to the latest Monmouth University Poll, "a large majority of Americans acknowledge climate change is happening, although they are divided on whether human activity is mostly responsible for it."
Richard Blumenthal
Senate Resolution 337, introduced in the United States Senate on December 17, 2015, would, if passed, express the Senate's support of designating February 12, 2016, as Darwin Day, and its recognition of "Charles Darwin as a worthy symbol on which to celebrate the achievements of reason, science, and the advancement of human knowledge."
Jim Himes
House Resolution 548 (PDF), introduced in the United States House of Representatives on December 3, 2015, would, if passed, express the House's support of designating February 12, 2016, as Darwin Day, and its recognition of "Charles Darwin as a worthy symbol on which to celebrate the achievements of reason, science, and the advancement of human knowledge."
Matt Cartwright
A measure that would have acknowledged "the overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is real" was rejected in the U.S. House of Representatives on December 3, 2015, according to The Hill (December 3, 2015).
More than three quarters of the American public accepts the reality of global climate change, according to a new poll.
Observing that "[m]isinformation about climate change is distressingly common in the United States," The New York Times called for teaching students about climate change in its October 10, 2015, editorial.
"Using responses from nearly 700 biophysical scientists," a new survey "finds that approximately 92 percent of them believe that human-caused climate change is really happening," according to the Washington Post (September 25, 2015), reporting on J. S. Carlton, Rebecca Perry-Hill, Matthew Huber, and Linda S. Prokopy's "The climate change consensus extends beyond climate scientists," published in Environmental Research Letters.
A new poll on public attitudes toward Pope Francis's encyclical on climate change included questions on the occurrence of climate change itself. Asked "Do you think that global warming is happening, or do you think global warming is not happening?" 69% of respondents said yes, 16% said no, 15% said that they were not sure, and 1% skipped or refused to answer the question.

I dread winter like death. If the cold doesn't kill you, the rain will. Or so it seems when commuting by motorcycle.
I tell myself this in the warmer months to prepare for the coming chill. If I'm ready for the worst, anything short of that seems easy. Still, when the temperature in Fahrenheit matches the miles in your commute, the environment can take its toll on you.
My hands ache so that pulling in the levers becomes a chore. My feet numb to the point that shifting gears feels a distant action. When it's truly bad, I seek inspiration in some of the more difficult tours I have made. Whether crossing Roan Mountain with my feet down to stay up on a sheet of ice or exploring the Rockies in a hailstorm and a half helmet, I know I can keep my wits when uncomfortable, even in pain.
But one trip in particular stands out for its difficulty and my lack of preparation. A decade ago now, a friend of mine had just graduated from school and invited me to accompany him on his move out west - by bike.
Sam was my original riding buddy. The first guy to lead me through the switchbacks of the Great Smoky Mountains, he introduced me to all that is good about open-road motorcycling. It was with him that I first began to see riding as a two-dimensional version of flying - leaning into turns, aligning myself with centrifugal forces, rising for the straights like low-gliding birds.
So, when he decided to move to Albuquerque, I felt compelled to tag along for as long as I could. With classes resuming in January, less than a week away, I couldn't make the entire trip and back, so we settled on New Orleans as my stopping point.
First, you should understand that despite our combined number of years riding at this point, we were still using limited gear. Attribute this to our hospitable native climate and, more importantly, to our positions as flat-broke students.
But we were undaunted by a trip in the middle of winter. We would be starting and staying in the South. How cold could it get? It was in the 50s when I left my place to meet Sam at his father's house in upstate South Carolina.
We spent the day drinking beer, packing up, and reminiscing about cycling with his father, who had ridden the same bike Sam would be moving on all the way from Alaska another decade before. I watched as Sam bolted on the Windjammer full fairing and hard bags and wondered if my little windshield and saddlebags were enough for this trip.
We awoke the next dawn to find ice on our bikes, in my case in it. A rip in my seat had allowed moisture to be absorbed into the spongy foam before freezing. It was a brick. For the first time, I began doubting the wisdom of this ride.
But I was committed to cycling and to Sam, and I told myself I was in this for the long haul; So we fired up the machines and watched the ice slowly slide off. We then began the arduous task of getting dressed.
I slipped on thermals, then jeans, then leathers. I had scored a full set of the latter used from a former drag racer months before. Sam followed my first two layers with another set of jeans topped off with the craziest pair of formal wool pants I had ever seen anywhere, much less on the back of a motorcycle. He laughed off my gibes with promises of warmth, and we were off.
The first 50 miles was uneventful backroad barnstorming, the kind of riding we were accustomed to. Then the cold started setting in. I could feel the wind cutting through my cheap, cloth gloves. Made for winter, these gauntlets had proven worthy of regular duty but were no match for long distance.
I ignored the cracking feeling that made its way into my knuckles and looked forward to our first gas stop. Another 50 miles or so later, we pulled into a station.
"How are you doing?" Sam asked, catching the look of discomfort on my face.
"I'm OK, man," I respond, not wanting to let on how bad I felt just a fraction of the way into the trip. "I'm OK."
"I've got something that might help," Sam said, producing a dugout containing herb. "We can hit this after gassing up, before we go."
I expressed reluctance, having never ridden high before. I feared I wouldn't be able to concentrate on the road. Sam assuaged me, recommending I take just a hit or two, barely enough to get a buzz but more than enough to get my mind off the icy conditions.
So for the first time in my riding career, I smoked up before cranking up. And Sam was right: It worked, mostly. The cold was still there but my thoughts were on other things, like the brittle appearance of the gray-barked trees and the crisp scent of Magnolia. That sensation of flight had gained a third dimension, as well. I was not only going to make this run, I was going to enjoy it!
Sam and I weaved around traffic and made our way through Georgia and into Alabama. By nightfall, we were pulling into Montgomery and looking for a place to stay. Both of us had brought along camping gear but decided against it given the chill. Besides, a cheap room divided by two is twice as cheap.
We dropped off our stuff, stripped into single layers, and grabbed beers and burgers in one of the city's sports bars. A good day all in all that left us halfway to my final destination and roughly a quarter of the way to Sam's.
We awoke the next morning to a welcome surprise. The cold snap had snapped and we were told by the weather man to expect temperatures in the mid-60s by afternoon. Off came my middle layer of jeans; Sam paired down his clothing too, adding to the already significant heft of his bungied cargo.
But life was good. We rolled down I-65 toward Mobile with relatively warm air blasting in our faces. Taking turns passing each other, we pumped our fists and smiled, savoring some legitimately enjoyable riding at last.
After gassing up a final time, we turned onto I-10 and began the last stretch to New Orleans. We arrived shortly after dark to a heavy mist that made my windshield all but opaque. I stood up on the pegs to navigate through treacherously heavy traffic and followed Sam into the city's downtown.
He had scoped out a youth hostel to serve as our single night's accommodations. Upon pulling up at the front of the place, we were informed by the innkeeper we would be better off finding a nook in a nearby alley to hide the bikes. Motorcycles had a way of getting ripped off out front, she said. Great.
We did as advised and wedged the machines together, praying our flimsy locks wouldn't leave us stranded. We then went inside to find our bunks, the showers, and some drinking&smoking companions.
It didn't take us long to rustle up a crew of Aussies who were ready to make the night a highlight of their weeks-long binge in the Crescent City. We bounced from bar to bar, sampling drinks and music throughout the French Quarter. Needless to say, it lived up to expectations.
Sam and I returned to the dorm late and passed out talking up our final adventure together. I woke up to see him absent from the room. I showered quickly, drying off with a dirty t-shirt, the closest think to a towel in my bag.
I had begun getting my things together when Sam returned. He told me he went souvenir shopping and had grabbed a thing or two. He then presented me with a parting gift, a few items to see me through the trip back home: weed, a bowl, two emergency hand warmers, and his thick, leather riding gauntlets.
At first I refused the gloves. I had seen him wear them on too many tours to feel right about taking them. But he assured me he would pick up some more before leaving town. Besides, he wanted me to have something of his as a reminder on future rides. And the cold may not be over.
With that, I packed up my cycle and got ready to go. Sam passed along his contact info in New Mexico, and we said our good-byes. I started my bike, gave one last wave, and headed for the highway. As feared, the chill had already started to return. I veered onto the interstate heading east and gassed it, wishing my old friend safe travels.
By the time I got to Mobile, the cold had again started to get to me, despite the added warmth of Sam's trusty gloves. I pulled into a motorcycle dealer to chat up bikes, drink the free coffee, and thaw out. The folks at the shop were impressed with my moxie (or did they say, "stupidity") and welcomed me to stay awhile. Knowing night was coming, I said good-bye.
About 50 miles before Montgomery, darkness brought glacial winds. To keep warm, I tucked much of my body behind the windshield and slipped my left hand down beside the engine cases. Finding heat through my glove, I locked the throttle and gave my right hand a turn. It wasn't perfect, but it was keeping me awake and flexible enough to work the controls.
Seeking protection and conversation, I swung into a diner I spotted from the road. Warm air I got but the welcome was chill. The lady behind the counter was curt to the point of frustration, and nary a single trucker wanted to talk bikes.
I was disappointed but not utterly surprised. I've gotten worse service. I've even been denied vacancy after pulling up on my bike. In retrospect, I don't know how a kid in black leathers should expect to be treated in some country diner. I ate my eggs and left.
I found a KOA just outside of Montgomery that seemed as likely a sleeping spot as any, so I pulled around the office and set up camp. I ruled out a hotel room for the obvious reason of cost and, more importantly, my need to use this gear I'd been carrying for more than a thousand miles now.
So I set up my $20 pup tent, spread out my bag, smoked a big, fat bowl and called it a night. Somewhere in the middle of the darkness, I begin to feel the tips of my fingers and toes giving way. Frankly speaking, they were freezing. Or at least they seemed so to my young, frightened mind. An epiphany of possibly dying in a roadside campground near Montgomery and nobody giving a damn.
I took these stiff claws and plunged them into my bag. Within moments, I had found the emergency warmers Sam had given me, torn into them using my teeth and activated them. I then jammed one into a sock and held the other between my hands, warming them to usability. Soon, I had socks on both hands and was rotating each warmer between extremities.
Glad I saved that room fee I was not! The night lasted longer than I care to recount. I vacillated somewhere between dreaming and dormancy, occasionally waking fully to an unending quiet. But I made it.
At first dawn, I dragged myself out of the tent, packed up my belongings, paid my tab, and hit the road. I knew I had to make it home by dark. Had to. So I goosed the bike, tucked in, and made for the Georgia border like my life depended on it.
I got there quickly and kept up the pace, stopping here and there for gas and coffee. By mid-afternoon I was around Atlanta and rolling like hellfire for South Carolina. But my time ran out in Augusta, on the state line. Darkness came quickly with a coolness I had tried to forget.
Within striking distance, I crossed into my home state and pulled into a gas station near Aiken. Less than an hour away. My fingers, however, were beginning to suffer once again. No amount of radiated engine heat was going to thaw these crinkled critters out. So I ducked into the bathroom and gave the hand dryer a try. Miracle!
I kicked myself for not thinking of this before. But desperation breeds creation, they say, and this was proof. I stayed in the restroom for 10 minutes or more, hovering around this little whirring godsend like a moth to... something warm and bright.
With renewed vigor, I climbed back on my machine and fired it up for the last time. I coasted into Columbia with an unimaginably large grin on my face. This was it. I spent the rest of the night regaling loved ones with my bravery (or was that stupidity).
So, now, when I crank up my bike in these winter months, I can look back on these moments and laugh at my ill preparation, mentally and physically. I can think of them and know I'm capable of handling whatever rain, wind, traffic and chill can throw at me.
But when it gets really cold, I forestall my usual winter handwear and go straight to those old, leather gloves, lined with wool not unlike Sam's thriftstore trousers. And I embrace a time when life was harder but simpler.

Oh, the decisions you make for your wedding day; they're endless! One in particular is whether you want a first look, go traditional, OR you just aren't sure! Well, don't worry! We're here to help with that decision! So, what's a 'first look'?
Photos: Aga Jones Photography
A first look is a precious moment between bride and groom, where the bride reveals herself to her future hubby before the wedding-day merriment begins. For the more modern day bride, this has been the alternative to the more traditionalist route, where the bride would rather not spoil the surprise of seeing her fiancé's face when he sees her walk down the aisle in her big, white gown! So, why are couples choosing the first look?
That being said...maybe the first look is not quite your cup of tea. So, here are some other fun alternatives that play off that "first look" moment that we absolutely adore:
Keep in mind... this is YOUR day! Personalize it and make it your own, anything goes on your wedding day and that goes for how and when you want to see your lover on the most special day of your lives!

An average, but overpriced Polish eReader, based on the ubiquitous Netronix EB-600.
eClicto is a new Polish eReader, actually a variant of the Netronix EB-600, the most copied eReader design in the world (a pity it isn't particularly exceptional). It has the same basic hardware as the the European Cybook Gen 3, the UK COOL-ER, the Russian Pocketbook 301, the Polish eClicto, the South Korean Soribook, NUUT and the US eSlick and Astak Mentor Lite. The actual visual design does at least have more panache than most EB-600s, with sweeping grey swirls across the cover.
This is the first eReader specifically targeting the Polish market, and anyone outside the country probably won't be interested in it. Kolporter announced at the Warsaw Book Fair in May 2009, and it debuted a couple months behind schedule in December. There has been some carping about eClicto's marketing though--claiming there are thousands of free ebooks to downloan from Project Gutenberg for example, when only a few dozen are actuall in Polish. There has been quite a debate in the Polish blogosphere whether to back this native-badged reader, or opt for the much more capable international Kindle version when debuted just before eClicto's launch.
This very light eReader does seem a bit fragile and plasticky. It flexes a bit if you apply pressure at the corner. The matte, rubbery finish also shows dust and fingerprints. The scroll wheel will be tricky for left-handers to use. The eClicto has 512 MB of flash memory, and a port for an
SD Card which makes it expandable up to 4GB.
The boot time is on the long side, a full 30 seconds, that little too long in our opinion. Audio is via 2.5mm headphone jacks (not the standard 3.5mm size), so you'll need to use special ones. However, the music function seems like an afterthought--you have no audio play controls unless you get out of your book and into the audio file.
The fonts have a distinct digital look unlike the more "print-like" Kindle. The unit has a basic e-ink display, with only four greyscales compared to the 16 on the top models, so graphics in particular will look rather primitive, And the menu system seems less polished as well.
There are also rumors that Kolporter is working on a bigger version, with a 10'' touch screen as well as WiFi and a GSM module for wireless internet.
Connecting: There is no wireless connectivity, quite a drawback when you can get worldwide wireless connectivity (and indeed simple web browsing) with the Kindle 2 for aless money. Both charging and access to drag and drop ebook files is via a USB 2.0 port.
Accessories: We're not aware of accessories for the eClicto.
Price: The eClicto costs 899 zł (some $315--though it does come with 100 free ebooks), a price which simply cannot compare with the higher funcationality, lower price eReaders on the market.

Choosing the Right Zip Line Kit
When choosing the best zip line that is right for you first look at what you will be using it for. Is it for your family? Is it for your kids? Do you need a commercial sized zip line for some insane adventures? Let's say you want a zip line that you can ride as well as your kids, that sums up the entire Alien Flier Series zip line kits. They are made to endure weights of up to 275 pounds and almost all of the parts are made in the USA. If you look on the Zip Line Stop website they are literally the most popular zip line kit that is sold. The reviews for them are off the charts and their performance even under extreme weather conditions has been phenomenal. They also just started offering a 150 foot zip line kit which is awesome. Before they added the 150' kit is was only 75', 100', and 200'- that means if you had a 150' gap between your trees you had to either buy your own zip line cable and do it yourself or buy the 200 foot zip line kit and leave all of the extra slack on the ends of your anchors. Adding the 150' kit really did solve a lot of issues on the buyers end.
|Alien Flier 150 foot zip line kit
The other kits sold on the website are the Specialty Kits. They're manufactured by ZLP and are made for more extreme zip line enthusiasts. These commercial zip lines for sale come in kit sizes ranging up to 500 feet. The Torpedo zip line kits come with a zip line trolley that is insanely durable. It is a monster compared to other zip line trolleys and has serious load capacity of up to 350 lbs! WOW. When choosing the best zip line for yourself it really only depends on what you're going to be using the zip line for. If it's for your backyard I would go with the Alien Flier, if you're going to be scaling mountains or putting a zip line longer than 200' in your backyard I would go with the ZLP Specialty Kits. I'm not saying the ZLP zip line kits aren't good in the backyard, they are just more expensive because they have a higher weight capacity. It all depends on what you need! Good Luck!

"Why do we need art, why do we need the lyric poetry of the Psalms?" asks Bono in a new short documentary with Fuller Studio.
"Because the only way we can approach God is if we're honest."
"We can't just blame it on the brokenness of the world, pray for peace, and move on, worried that anything more will be seen as politicizing tragedy. What is tragic is that those who have the ability to DO something about this crisis refuse to offer more than simplistic sentiments on Twitter before getting caught in a circular argument about our rights as Americans. It's time for people of faith to respond."
2. The 20-Year-Old Ban That Silenced Research on Gun Violence
Because: NRA. "Researchers from federal agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute of Health (NIH) have largely been mum on the public health issue of gun violence — not by choice, but because of a 20-year-old congressional ban on federally funded gun violence research."
3. Emanuel: Chicago City Officials to Release Ronald Johnson Shooting Video
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Thursday that the city would release dashcam footage of a Chicago police officer shooting 25-year-old Ronald Johnson III in the back. The shooting happened eight days before officer Jason Van Dyke shot and killed 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.
4. People Think 'The Wiz Live' Is Racist. Twitter Says, 'Huh?'
Actual tweet: "I just learned there is a Black version of 'The Wizard of Oz' called 'The Wiz.' How is this not racist?" Oy.
On Sunday, June 28, the day of gay pride parades in Chicago and around the world, millions celebrated the recent United States' Supreme Court decision that effectively legalized gay marriage at the national level. But David Wichman took his personal Pride rally to the General Admission (GA) line at the United Center.
With his hand-decorated rainbow flag in tow, he wanted to get a place close to the stage. His flag simply said: "IN THE NAME OF LOVE – THANK YOU!" Wichman wanted Bono and the band to know their work as allies had not gone unnoticed.
Dozens of fans bring their banners and signs to the GA floor on each night of the tour — but not every fan has their banner or sign lifted high by the lead singer onstage. As Bono had done in Arizona in May after the news of Ireland's successful marriage referendum, he turned this spirited Sunday night show into a celebration of marriage (his wife Ali was in attendance), and a joyful tribute to the civil rights advocates who worked to make marriage equality a reality for the whole United States.
When Ireland became the first country to legalize same-gender marriage by popular mandate, double rainbows appeared over Dublin, and an Irish rock band transformed their Arizona concert into a gay-rights celebration. Almost 30 years ago, Bono endured threats from angry Arizonans for his support of the U.S. national holiday for the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. But on Saturday, Bono invoked King as peacemaker as U2 celebrated the victory of love, turning the song "Pride (In The Name of Love)" into an anthem for gay pride.
Bono shared, "This is a moment to thank the people who bring us peace. It's a moment for us to thank the people who brought peace to our country. We have peace in Ireland today! And in fact on this very day we have true equality in Ireland. Because millions turned up to vote yesterday to say, 'love is the highest law in the land! Love! The biggest turnout in the history of the state, to say, 'love is the highest law in the land!' Because if God loves us, whoever we love, wherever we come from … then why can't the state?'"
1. Here Is What Happens When Each Myers-Briggs Personality Type Makes A New Year's Resolution
These may or may not be scarily accurate...
2. The Birth of a New Civil Rights Movement
"The shattering events of 2014, beginning with Michael Brown's death in Ferguson, Missouri, in August, did more than touch off a national debate about police behavior, criminal justice and widening inequality in America. In 2014, the new social justice movement became a force that the political mainstream had to reckon with."
3. 10 Resolutions for 2015
"We often only use the word in the context of this season, but "resolution" is a nuanced noun. Some of its definitions include: A firm decision to do or not to do something; the quality of being determined or resolute; the action of solving a problem, dispute, or contentious matter. In a world of seemingly endless conflicts, I sure like the sound of that. We need more of all of these qualities just now in this brand new year."
4. The Tragedy of the American Military
"The American public and its political leadership will do anything for the military except take it seriously. The result is a chickenhawk nation in which careless spending and strategic folly combine to lure America into endless wars it can't win."
Sunday evening I did something I haven't done in close to 30 years: I went to an actual record store and bought a brand-new U2 album on vinyl, took it home, pulled out the turntable, put on my headphones, sat on the floor, and stayed up way too late reading the liner notes and listening to the songs over and over again.
Lord, how I've missed this particular ritual.
When I was a teenager, late Sunday nights were when I indulged my secret pleasure by listening in bed (clandestinely so as not to incur the wrath of my parents for being awake well past my bedtime) to the "King Biscuit Flower Hour" on WPLR, the classic rock station in New Haven that was one of two (the other being a horrendous pop-40 station) that came in clearly on the FM stereo in my upstairs bedroom.
I listened, religiously, every Sunday night for years, hoping to hear a song by one of the British New Wave bands of which I was fond, or, if I was particularly lucky, by my favorite band on the planet: U2.
Sometimes weeks would go by without hearing a U2 song on those late Sunday nights, my ear pressed to the transistor radio secreted next to the pillow on my twin bed. But then, like a bolt of lightning — I'd hear Bono's voice or Edge's guitar begin to keen. It was a wee bit magical, although in retrospect today I might call it sacred.
All the waiting and listening was worth it. Always.
Perhaps you heard. U2 has a new album. You can download it from iTunes for free right now. Go. I'll wait. It's free.
Yes, free. This is what has my mind spinning right now. Bono wrote:
"It's also free to everyone on iTunes thanks to Apple. To celebrate the ten year anniversary of our iPod commercial, they bought it as a gift to give to all their music customers."
So, free to us thanks to the largesse of Apple. Why would that be? Well:
"We're collaborating with Apple on some cool stuff over the next couple of years, innovations that will transform the way music is listened to and viewed. We'll keep you posted. If you like Songs of Innocence, stay with us for Songs of Experience. It should be ready soon enough … although I know I've said that before …"
I didn't expect to get hit on during Super Bowl XLVIII.
I mean, I was expecting the usual stuff — the testosterone-fueled web hosting pitch, the adorable animals selling beer – but this was shameless. Someone really did their homework, because company after company turned up with things I like to hear: healthy families; cute biracial kids; a nation of immigrants; a thriving main street; victory for the marginalized; solving the world's most pressing social ills. Check, check-check.
Progressive values, you are currently the it-girl for advertisement pickup artists. Enjoy it?
I, for one, do not.
Don't get me wrong, commercials that celebrate our society as diverse and affirming are far more appealing than the advertising tropes we're used to. But they also veil or flat-out misrepresent the structures and practices of the companies telling them. Without a significant shift towards justice on the part of these companies themselves, their social good stories shouldn't charm us — they probably should leave us with a bad taste in our mouths.
U2 frontman Bono exchanged Bible references and bantered about music, theology, and evangelicals' role in AIDS activism in a recent radio interview with Focus on the Family President Jim Daly.
Growing up in Ireland with a Protestant mother and a Catholic father, Bono imitated C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity, where Lewis argued that Jesus was a lunatic, liar or Lord.
"When people say 'Good teacher,' 'Prophet,' 'Really nice guy,' … this is not how Jesus thought of himself," Bono said. "So, you're left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case."
The ONE Campaign, co-founded by music legend Bono of U2, has launched a new platform to promote global messages of social justice, women's rights, and putting an end to apartheid, war and poverty — just to name a few.
The campaign, agit8, features new covers of famous protest songs throughout history by contemporary musicians ranging from Mumford & Sons to Greenday.
With the stated goal of ending poverty by 2030, agit8 is timed to coincide with the upcoming G8 summit next week. Noting the impact protest music has had on American history, agit8 encourages artists to "get on their soapbox" and amplify "the voices of those who spoke up for social change throughout history."
I don't know how I feel about liberalism or capitalism beyond the degree to which I participate in both by necessity. But I do know what I perceive as the source of my activism and Bono's: Jesus and the Bible; spirituality and scripture; the new commandments of radical love and service taught by the carpenter from Nazareth. What's been called the preferential option for the poor. Bono's lack of economic literacy, or worse, allegiance to wrong-headed economic mentors, may make me and others uncomfortable and may play into the hands of the problem-creators rather than the problem-solvers, yet Bono's Biblical, musical, and poetic literacy remain on target in my eyes and heart.
In 2005 just after How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, as much as I loved that record and the subsequent Vertigo tour, part of me wanted to give up on Bono for his self-imposed public silence on the Iraq War, for hanging so intimately with people like George Bush and my then least favorite Tennessean Bill Frist. That year, I picked up Bono: In Conversation with Michka Assayas. Not only does the front man answer all his critics in a nuanced manner, he diminishes and self-deprecates his own significance. The alleged egomaniac also has a streak of deep and deferential humility.
But more than that, he speaks ever so elegantly and evangelically about his faith in Jesus and how Christian religious perspective, spiritual practice, and central Gospel narrative inform everything he does. Like Bono, I am no economist, but also like Bono, I take seriously the Biblical teachings about poverty and justice.
Labels can be helpful when, for instance, applied to cans of soup or barrels of toxic waste. But they are less so when affixed to human beings – particularly when labels are meant to summarize, indelibly, one's spiritual identity.
In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Marcus Mumford, the 26-year-old lead singer of the wildly successful British band Mumford & Sons, raised the hackles of religious folks (in some quarters) when he declined to claim the "Christian" label as his own.
You see, Marcus is the son of John and Eleanor Mumford, who are the national leaders of the Vineyard Church in the U.K. and Ireland, an arm of the international evangelical Christian Vineyard Movement. Last year, he married actress Carey Mulligan, whom he'd met years earlier at a Christian youth camp.
And the music of Mumford & Sons, for which Mumford is the main lyricist, is laden with the themes and imagery of faith – often drawing specifically upon the Christian tradition. They explore relationships with God and others; fears and doubts; sin, redemption, and most of all, grace.
Sojourners President and CEO Jim Wallis joined voices worldwide rallying in the fight against AIDS. The ONE Campaign — an international nonprofit focused on global health and poverty issues — today launched its "It Starts With Me" video campaign.
"Do you think he'll sing?" the girl in the row behind me wondered aloud.
"I hope so," the young fellow beside her said before continuing, "My dad would freak. He was a big fan of U2 when I was growing up. He used to play this one album, The Joshua Tree, over and over again."
His father was a fan.
I am a thousand years old, I thought to myself, as more Georgetown students filled the seats around me at the university's 111-year-old Gaston Hall, the main lecture hall on campus named after Georgetown's first student, William Gaston, who later served as a member of the U.S. Congress.
The hall, decorated with stunning art-deco-era frescos and the crest of every Jesuit institute of higher learning, has hosted many dignitaries over the years, including Presidents Obama and Clinton, Vice-President Al Gore, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, to name but a few.
"So if he's not going to sing, is he just going to talk," another student asked, with a distinct whiff of disappointment in his voice.
"I hear he's an awesome speaker, though," still another student said.
The students who packed the auditorium, many of them from Georgetown's Global Social Enterprise Initiative at the McDonough School of Business and more than a few donning black t-shirts with the insignia of the ONE Campaign (of which Bono is a co-founder), weren't sure what to expect from the famous Irish rock star and humanitarian.
A concert? A lecture? Another boring speech?
I'm fairly certain none of the students present for Monday night's event, sponsored by the Bank of America and The Atlantic magazine, anticipated hearing Bono, the 52-year-old lead singer of U2, preach.
But preach he did.
Back in 2005, Africa was a recurring theme of U2's worldwide Vertigo tour, where Bono's campaigning for debt relief, trade justice and immediate intervention in the AIDS pandemic — each fueled by his following of Jesus — met in his music in indelibly powerful collision of faith, justice, and art.
When Bono and his bandmates played "Where The Streets Have No Name," the most amazing mass of colors dropped from the rafters as millions of Willie Williams-designed, light bulbs descended from the rafters to form stage's back drop and a modern-mosaic high-tech screen. Then came the flags of each African nation in the most moving light show I've ever seen.
During the razzle-dazzle on stage, Bono made his claim,
"From the swamp lands of Louisiana to the high hills of Kilimanjaro, from the bridge at Selma to the mouth of the Nile…AFRICA…AFRICA…AFRICA…the journey of equality moves on, moves on…AFRICA…from town centers to townships…sacred ground, proving ground…"
The link between the Martin Luther King Jr. (the Doctor of the Deep South of America's inequality) to Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela (the Archbishop and President of Africa's inequality) was particularly potent art.

Review of QSAR Models for Enzyme Classes of Drug Targets: Theoretical Background and Applications in Parasites, Hosts and Other Organisms
The number of protein 3D structures without function annotation in Protein Data Bank (PDB) has been steadily increased. Many of these proteins are relevant for Pharmaceutical Design because they may be enzymes of different classes that could become drug targets. This fact has led in turn to an increment of demand for theoretical models to give a quick characterization of these proteins. In this work, we present a review and discussion of Alignment-Free Methods (AFMs) for fast prediction of the Enzyme Classification (EC) number from structural patterns. We referred to both methods based on linear techniques such as Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and/or non-linear models like Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) or Support Vector Machine (SVM) in order to compare linear vs. nonlinear classifiers. We also detected which of these models have been implemented as Web Servers free to the public and compiled a list of some of these websites. For instance, we reviewed the servers implemented at portal Bio-AIMS (http://miaja.tic.udc.es/Bio- AIMS/EnzClassPred.php) and the server EzyPred (http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/EzyPred/).

Nigeria defender Taye Taiwo believes Technical Adviser Lars Lagerback is the right man for the Super Eagles job but says the Swede must feel the passion of the players in order to succeed.
Lagerback was appointed last month to replace Shaibu Amodu and although he has already started work, is yet to meet with the players, few of whom know him.
"I don't know much about him, but it doesn't matter that much, "Taiwo said. "The important thing is that he feels the player's passion and I think it will be shown that he is the right man for this task.
"The federation has chosen him, and they have good reasons to do it.â€With time in short supply before the World Cup, Taiwo says the new man will face a tough task, but says he is looking forward to exciting times.
"It's an exciting venture with Lagerback, but it will also be a tough job. We haven't lot of time to get a good feeling in the team, but I'm sure that we will fix it.â€Nigeria are grouped with Argentina, South Korea and Greece for the World Cup in June.
