I captured this photograph a few years ago. I love Paris and it's people. Whenever I think of Paris I think of this photograph. Paris is one of my favorite places and I'm going to be sure to visit again soon. There is nothing to say about these cowardly attacks that hasn't already been said. I just wanted to send my love to the people of Paris and express my Solidarité with them…

The Power of Bodywork is profound. We often call massage pampering, rejuvenating, and therapeutic; it can be even more powerful than that. It can be part of your preventative health plan. The work itself can be an important ally in improving our health and quality of life.
Receiving massage can be crucial for stress relief, and pain management. It is therefore vital that we begin to condition our attitude and incorporate it regularly into a wellness plan and routine. Eliminating anxiety and pressure is difficult in this fast paced world. Massage can help us cope and manage that stress with ease.
Massage is useful for For Pain and Stress Management. Some people may need to receive one or even two treatments a week for several months to get through a trauma, injury or difficulty. The good news is, it feels good and is good for you. For maintenance massage, it is common to come once every 2-4 weeks. Part of the beauty of bodywork is that it is good for many systems in the body including your musclo-skeletal, endocrine, nervous, and lymphatic. You can recover from stress of injury, trauma and hardship much faster than just taking drugs. Unlike many western drugs, massage is good for the liver and helps eliminate inflammation from the body in a efficient manner.
Here are just some of the many benefits of massage:
- Decrease anxiety and depression
- Enhance sleep quality
- Give an overall sense of calmness
- Improve energy and sense of well being
- Reduce fatigue
- Improve digestion
- Improve concentration.
- Increase circulation.
- Increase recovery time from exercise and or trauma/injury
- Significant decrease in edema and inflammation
- Decrease in pain and tension
- Decrease scar tissue
- Improve alignment of the spine
Scheduling and budgeting for bodywork is beneficial on so many levels and is a true investment in your immediate and long term health. A reasonable plan can be met by client and practitioner in a professional and caring manner.
Types of massage Michele Curtis offers:
One of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. The disrobed client is covered by a sheet, with only the area
being worked on exposed. Therapists use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive, and tapping movements, with the application of oil, to reduce friction on the skin. The many benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.
Techniques that utilize deep-tissue/deep-muscle massage are administered to affect the sub-layer of musculature and fascia. The muscles must be relaxed in order to effectively perform deep-tissue massage, otherwise tight surface muscles prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper musculature. It helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis. It is generally integrated with other massage techniques.
Sports massage is designed to enhance athletic performance and recovery. There are three contexts in which sports massage can be useful to an athlete: pre-event, post-event, and injury treatment. Pre-event massage is delivered at the performance site, usually with the athlete fully clothed. Fast-paced and stimulating, it helps to establish blood flow and to warm up muscles. During the massage, the athlete generally focuses on visualizing the upcoming event. Post-event massage is also delivered on site, through the clothes. The intent here is to calm the nervous system and begin the process of flushing toxins and waste products out of the body. Post-event massage can reduce recovery time, enabling an athlete to resume training much sooner than rest alone would allow. When an athlete sustains an injury, skillful massage therapy can often speed and improve the quality of healing.
Lymphatic Therapy is unique in that healthcare professionals learn how to palpate the lymphatic flow. As they develop their skills, they can then identify the rhythm, direction, and quality of the lymphatic flow. Advanced practitioners will be able to precisely map the lymphatic flow to find alternate pathways for drainage.

Audio Problem(Win7) Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Champion Seri
Hi everyone, so I just purchased the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series Sound Card. I'm having issues with audio(even before I bought the card) and I'm not sure how to fix them. I'll describe the main issues.
Sound Issues:
-Odd popping noise at the beginning and end of audio(usually not noticeable except when in Ventrilo because no other audio is playing.
-Static buzz sound (usually unnoticeable but more amplified in certain applications like the menu of Starcraft 2).
-Tons of feedback through my mic (clicks from my mouse, my own voice is amplified through my headset).
I bought a Sound Card so I could hopefully fix some of the problems (odd popping noise), and just make audio better in general but I must be doing something wrong because it's just gotten worse.
I'm using the Sennheiser PC 350 headset, and an Antec 902 case. I used another headset before I bought the sound card and it did not fix the audio popping issue, but have not tried using it after I got the new sound card.
One thing I noticed is if I unplug the mic the annoying buzzing seems to go away. And the mic feedback(of course). I don't know if this is a common issue that might be related to my case or if there is a way I can fix this through Windows 7 settings or the Creative software. I've tried messing around with the settings but nothing seems to work.
If anyone thinks they can help me out that would be awesome.
These are my system specs, also located in my profile.

Connecting to the card or using the front panel jacks?
Also you don't say which setting you messed around with, but in the Windows playback settings (Speakers-Properties-Levels tab) mute any and all input options. That should get rid of the mouse clicks and feedback; also you should only hear your own voice if you have it set to What U hear instead of microphone.

There is like 5 options in the Speakers-Properties-Levels tab.
Play control(39), Microphone FP(50), Digital-In(Already Muted) MIDI Synth(50), Line-In(Already Muted)
I muted the Microphone FP one and I think that fixed the feedback issue from my mic. I'm connecting to the card that came with this product through the front panel jacks, and I forgot to try the jacks in the back(I'll try it when I get home).
Thanks for the help so far, I think you already fixed one of my issues, but I'm late for work so I'll test the rest out when I get home.

Ya it seems like that fixed 2 of the issues. Do you have any idea what the audio popping noise might be from?
|My System Specs
|10 Aug 2010
I have a Fatal1ty Champion sound card. I'm not hearing any noise with mine.
If you disconnect the separate I/O panel from the sound card do you get the noise? Depending on how the cables to the front mounted I/O panel are routed that could cause some noise problems. Dell users (with standard Integrated audio not this SoundBlaster model) were having "noise" problems from their front panel headphone jack in one model and the problem turned out to be the routing of the headphone jack cable (it was routed close to a hard drive) and rerouting the cable away from the hard drive cured the noise problem.
Other potential sources of noise are wi-fi links, cordless or cell phones located near the PC.

Any idea what the audio popping issue might be? I've tested with a different headset, and I was having that issue before I bought the sound card.
|My System Specs
|10 Aug 2010
There is no "one fix" for popping and crackling audio. Some potential issues are (1) Audio Enhancements (if you have this option disable any audio enhancements), wireless (wi-fi) cards and connections, as mentioned a cell phone placed close to the PC, a cordless phone. One case I saw, the video card was causing it. Drivers are another potential area.
There are lots of posts on this forum on this and lots of posts on the Dell users forum. It's not one specific sound chip manufacturer or one specific PC vendor.

NEW YORK — An American academic thinks he`s found a way to catch up with the Japanese on the number of engineers. His solution: womanpower.
``Japan has twice the number of engineers as the United States, and male enrollment alone in our engineering schools is not sufficient to bridge the gap,`` said Daniel Berg, president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y.

We don't know how it happened, but the end of the year is upon us. Have you started making your Best of 2006 mix and casting your vote {See KEXP, Three Imaginary Girls among others}?
While we await what the smarty pants critics at Pitchfork and the Village Voice come up with, let's all take a moment to jump for joy over the recent announcement of the PopMatters best indie-pop of the year (and the fact that Pacific Northwest bands make up 20% of their best of list)! We couldn't agree more that the Math and Physics Club album (#1) is a gift from heaven. And the Casiotone for the Painfully Alone album (#4) is sweet bliss. Could it be that Seattle is on its way to becoming the new Sweden? Take that Gothenburg and your unusually high concentration of quality indie-pop!
Now, once you submit your votes, mark your calendar for a couple fine events happening this week…
Friday 12/15 – Thursday, 12/21: Danielson: A Family Movie {Northwest Film Forum}
Our friends at the NWFF are premiering this new documentary that follows eccentric musician and visual artist Daniel Smith as he leads his siblings and friends along an unusual path to indie-rock stardom as the Danielson Famile. A devout Christian from rural South Jersey, Smith started out gathering his brothers and sisters to help him perform his senior art thesis. Who would have known Daniel would soon be dressing up is family in homemade nurse uniforms, channeling the Holy Spirit, and becoming an indie icon? Our hope is that this will give us some good ideas on how to interact with family at this year's holiday meal (Let's dress up and sing art rock, Mom!).
Saturday 12/16: Tennis Pro/Hot One/School Of Rock {High Dive}
Seeing Tennis Pro play is less like watching a live show and more like going to a party. Staying true to their name, they come out on their trophy-adorned stage dressed in their Wimbledon whites ready to entertain as well as make some noise. The lyrics never disappoint, (make sure to listen closely for the Three Imaginary Girls theme song) their stage banter is always side-splitting, and their shtick is… well… fantashtick.
Mistletoe anyone?
dana, liz, char
*three imaginary girls*
High Rotation:
Kimya Dawson
Drew Victor {at the Tractor on 12/21}
Young Sportsmen {at the Comet on 12/28}

Greetings, We are running some performance tests in which we are attempting to insert about 100,000,000 rows in a database at a sustained rate. About 50M rows in, our performance drops dramatically.
This test is with data that we believe to be close to what we will encounter in production. However in tests with purely generated, sequential data, we did not notice this slowdown. I'm trying to figure out what patterns in the "real" data may be causing us problems. I have log,data and indexes on separate LUNs on an EMC SAN. Prior to slowdown, each partition is writing at a consistent rate. Index partition is reading at a much lower rate. At the time of slowdown, index partition read rate increases, all write rates decrease. CPU utilization drops. The server is doing nothing aside from running the DB. It is a dual opteron (dual core, looks like 4 cpus) with 4GB RAM. shared_buffers = 32768. fsync = off. Postgres version is 8.1.b4. OS is SuSE Enterprise server 9. My leading hypothesis is that one indexed column may be leading to our issue. The column in question is a varchar(12) column which is non-null in about 2% of the rows. The value of this column is 5 characters which are the same for every row, followed by a 7 character zero filled base 36 integer. Thus, every value of this field will be exactly 12 bytes long, and will be substantially the same down to the last bytes. Could this pattern be pessimal for a postgresql btree index? I'm running a test now to see if I can verify, but my runs take quite a long time... If this sounds like an unlikely culprit how can I go about tracking down the issue? Thanks, -K ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org

ROSELLE, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – Slow down, Roselle Park.
That's the message Police Chief Paul Morrison is trying to send to folks driving through the borough.
"I want people to realize what can happen when someone runs a red light," Morrison said.
To that end, he has released a dramatic video of a crash caught by red light safety cameras. The videos show a significant accident that took place at Locust Street and Westfield Avenue at 5:30 a.m. on June 29th.
Despite the violence of the crash, the driver of the vehicle which flipped over was treated for minor injuries. Chrstian Irala, 29, was charged with DWI. Police estimate he was going between 55-62 mph when the crash occurred.
The other driver was unhurt.
American Traffic Solutions, the company behind the red light cameras, said that since Roselle Park implemented the camera program in May 2011, red light running at that particular intersection has dropped by 47 percent.
"By showing this video, we hope people will realize running red lights can have tragic consequences," Morrison said. "Our camera program is reducing the number of red light running violations, but we still need to reach more people. It's a matter of life and death to stop on red."
What do you make of the video? Are red light cameras a good idea? Sound off in the comments section.

|Homes Bill
Ms Buck: I am grateful for the support that I received from my hon. Friend the Member for Edmonton, although to echo the Monty Python four Yorkshiremen sketch, I just dream of only one quarter of the people coming to my surgery having housing problems. I am also grateful for the supportive remarks of the hon. Member for Eastbourne, although a little hintette of mischief-making just at the outer margins slightly undermined their generosity. I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Minister for his supportive remarks and his recognition of the needs that I outlined. I look forward to seeing the wording of the proposed new amendment that will move us on from the subjectivity of the present definition.
In light of the spirit of acceptance for the first part of the amendment, I will seek leave to withdraw it. I understand why the LGA and others have reservations about the potentially prescriptive powers in the other parts of the amendment, but I stand by the thrust of my comments about the need to iron out some of the worst practice. I hope that the DETR will continue to work with the local government and housing organisations to do what they can to raise the profile of best practice so that we deal with the deficiencies. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Hon. Members: No.
Question put, That the amendment be made:
The Committee divided: Ayes 3, Noes 8.
Division No. 7]
Mr. Raynsford: I beg to move Government amendment No. 85, in page 12, line 28, leave out `homeless' and insert `threatened with homelessness'.
Briefly, the amendment is typical of the Government amendments, being designed simply to improve and enhance the Bill. It would change ``homeless'' to ``threatened with homelessness'', which is, as all hon. Members will immediately understand, technically the correct drafting in the clause. It has no other significance beyond that.
Amendment agreed to.
The Chairman, being of the opinion that the principle of the clause and any matters arising thereon had been adequately discussed in the course of the debate on the amendment proposed thereto, forthwith put the Question, pursuant to Standing Order No. 68 and 89, That the clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill.
Question agreed to.
Clause 20, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.

I hope you enjoyed this story, and that it spoke to you.
It's so easy to look in the mirror and feel that we're just not enough — we're not the right size for the job — but we must ignore the mirror and look to the Potter who made us.
Some of us may appear to be ordinary and plain, but we're not.
God made us in His image, and He's extraordinary.
God made each of us extraordinary.
He made each of us the right size.

Ever wonder what it takes to install a water pipeline under the Willamette River?
A powerful pressured hammer, a steerable underground drill and months of work, at the very least.
Next week, construction crews will begin drilling under the riverbed as part of a massive update to Lake Oswego and Tigard's water systems.
The tunnel will house a new water pipe that connects an intake on the Clackamas River in Gladstone with a new water treatment plant in West Linn. The pipe will run from Meldrum Bar Park to the end of Mapleton Drive in West Linn, just north of Mary S. Young Park.
The pipe is designed to carry up to 38 million gallons of water a day to the treatment plant and on to water customers in Lake Oswego and Tigard. The pipe replaces an existing 27-inch diameter pipe, which is 45 years old.
Crews will use a technique called horizontal directional drilling, which is less disruptive to the environment than digging and cutting a trench in the riverbed, said Lake Oswego-Tigard Water Partnership spokeswoman Jane Heisler.
Crews have already begun the very noisy process of hammering pipe casing at both ends of the river using a pressurized hammer, Heisler said. The hammering lasts for about one or two hours during the day. A soundwall has been installed on the West Linn side to deaden the noise.
"We've gotten about a half dozen calls from residents so far," Heisler said. "You definitely need earplugs to go near it."
A crew of about six will work from Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The work on the West Linn side expected to continue into next year.
To find more information on the project, visit the partnership website.

Matt Tribe of Ogden, Utah, purchased one of Olive Garden's 1000 Never Ending Pasta Passes. When he bought one of Olive Garden's limited edition, it was to fulfill his love of pasta. He soon saw another benefit.
The national restaurant chain offers 1,000 cards a year as part of their Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion. The card gives the bearer an unlimited supply of meals for seven weeks. Tribe says he came up with "Random acts of Pasta" as a way to pay it forward.
The first recipient was his sister, Mandy, who was gifted a fettuccine Alfredo with salad and breadsticks.
From there, he says he dropped off dinners to friends, chased down his mailman and two UPS men with pasta, and treated a couple named Ben and Jessica to a meal.
Then he started searching for homeless people to feed!
The goal was 100 meals, by the end of the seven weeks, 125 people had benefited from the unlimited pasta.
"First of all, the initial thought of someone who has nothing was to share it with someone else–that's pretty incredible. I asked where her friends were and she said behind that wall and motioned in the direction of a large wall. I walked over there and peeked around the corner and saw several people there. I went back to the car and got a few more bags of pasta and took it on over to them. I'm still blown away that the first thought of the lady receiving the pasta was to share with her friends."
Tribe recognizes sharing the meals was not the point of the pasta campaign. He even checked with Olive Garden about using the card for take-out, and was given the green light. He has no regrets and says it's changed the way he looks at the world.
Greed may be lethal...but the protagonists of this story it is certain that are not greedy!

Real batters Bilbao as Bale waits
Francisco "Isco" Alarcon scored twice and Cristiano Ronaldo added another goal yesterday to give Real Madrid a 3-1 win over Athletic Bilbao with the club's drawn-out negotiations to sign Gareth Bale approaching the close of the summer transfer window.
Real has until today evening to close the deal for Bale with Tottenham Hotspur. Media reports place Real's offer in the range of the record 80-million pound (US$93.9-million) fee paid to Manchester United for Ronaldo in 2009.
After not scoring in Real's first two wins to start the Spanish league season, Ronaldo headed in the second goal in first-half injury time to add to Isco's 26th-minute opener from Karim Benzema's pass.
Benzema assisted Isco again in the 73rd for his third goal in as many games since joining from Malaga this offseason.
"Things are going well considering we have just started the season, three for three so far," said the 21-year-old Isco. "We are getting better game by game. That's our goal."
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti started Diego Lopez instead of Iker Casillas for the third straight match, but the goalkeeper could do nothing to stop substitute Ibai Gomez from getting Bilbao's consolation goal in the 79th.
Barcelona visits Valencia later, while Atletico Madrid is at Real Sociedad, Sevilla hosts Malaga, and Espanyol plays Real Betis.
Real is level with promoted Villarreal which also has nine points from three matches after its 3-0 success at Osasuna on Saturday.
Before the match started, Real dismantled a stage it had set up inside the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium last weekend supposedly for Bale's presentation. It is expected to go back up soon with the market set to close and Tottenham having spent 100 million euros (US$133 million) this summer and with the chance to make most of that back by selling its star player.
Isco poked his first goal under goalkeeper Iago Herrerin after Benzema set him up with a scooped pass made easier by Bilbao's Andoni Iraola who failed to move forward with the rest of the defensive line, leaving Isco onside to take the ball alone in the area.
Ronaldo extended the hosts' lead by running free to head Angel Di Maria's dipping free kick into the corner of the net.
Isco fired in Real's third after controlling Benzema's short cross with one touch and scored to ensure Bilbao would suffer its first loss of the season following two victories.

And here at long last is the full field for SPEED's Great American Grid, the definitive list of the top 43 performers in Daytona 500 history.
In today's final installment, we present the front three rows of drivers who have excelled in NASCAR's biggest race.
Our Great American Grid is comprised of all 35 prior Daytona 500 winners and eight other drivers who made a significant impact on NASCAR's biggest race.
Here are positions 1-6 for the Great American Grid:
1. RICHARD PETTY — Frankly, the top selection among our 43 drivers was also probably the easiest. Richard Petty, a/k/a "The King," won seven Daytona 500s, a gold standard no one else even approached. Petty was a central player in two of the most famous 500s ever: In 1976, he and David Pearson crashed on the last lap, with Pearson winning, and three years later, Petty won when Cale Yarborough and Donnie Allison wrecked each other on the last lap going for the victory. In his career at Daytona, Petty had 28 top-five and 37 top-10 finishes, both records.
2. CALE YARBOROUGH — In his day, no one approached Cale Yarborough for toughness. The gritty South Carolina racer won his first 500 driving for the Wood Brothers in 1968 and then won for car owner Junior Johnson in 1977. He scored back-to-back victories for Harry Ranier in 1983 and '84, making him one of only three drivers to win consecutive Daytona 500s. And the race he didn't win in 1979, when he and Bobby Allison brawled on national television, is the stuff of legends.
3. JEFF GORDON — Here's where the debate among the SPEED staff grew white-hot: Should Jeff Gordon's three Daytona 500 victories be ranked ahead of Dale Earnhardt, who only one once but was consistently the man to beat? After a lengthy and heated discussion, Gordon's victories in 1995, '97 and 2005 ultimately carried the day, but by the narrowest of margins.
4. DALE EARNHARDT — That Dale Earnhardt was the only driver to win just one Daytona 500, yet crack the top five speaks volumes about "The Intimidator's" body of work on NASCAR's biggest stage. Earnhardt had a whole series of near-misses — most notably a flat tire on the final lap in 1990 — before sealing the deal with a hugely emotional victory in 1998.
5. BOBBY ALLISON — Another old-school, bare-knuckled racer, Bobby Allison won three Daytona 500s — 1978, '82 and '88. The last one was the most poignant, as Allison took the checkered flag with son Davey in second place. Bobby's driving career would end later that year after a near-fatal crash at Pocono Raceway. To this day, Bobby has no memory of the 1-2 finish with his late son in the '88 500.
6. BUDDY BAKER — Elzie Wylie Baker Jr., better known to all as just plain Buddy, was flat-out fast any time he ran on a restrictor-plate track. Recognized as one of NASCAR's top 50 drivers of all-time, Baker won the 1980 Daytona 500 at an average speed of 177.602 miles per hour, a record that still stands as the fastest Daytona 500 in history. Baker also was the first driver to break the 200 mph barrier on a closed course.
Previously announced were positions 7-43 for the Great American Grid:
7. BILL ELLIOTT — A two-time Daytona 500 winner, Elliott was victorious here in 1985 and '87. "Awesome Bill from Dawsonville" was always at his best at fast tracks, as witnessed by his four poles, nine top fives and 14 top 10s in the 500. In 1987, Elliott set the track qualifying record at Daytona, with a lap of 210.364 miles per hour.
8. DALE JARRETT — One of the most famous Daytona 500 finishes of all time came in 1993, when Jarrett won the first of his three 500s by holding off Dale Earnhardt as father Ned Jarrett called the race on live television. The "Dale and Dale show" made for high drama and gave Joe Gibbs Racing its first — and so far, only — 500 victory.
9. DAVID PEARSON — At or near the top of the list for best Daytona 500s ever was the 1976 race, when David Pearson and Richard Petty crashed on the last lap, with Pearson's heavily damaged Wood Brothers Mercury limping to the finish line to win. Surprisingly, perhaps, that was Pearson's only Daytona 500 victory, although he did post six top-five finishes.
10. A.J. FOYT — The most versatile driver of his generation, the hard-nosed Texan won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, four Indianapolis 500s and the 1972 Daytona 500. Foyt's only Daytona 500 came by a margin of nearly two laps, and the '72 race saw just three race leaders — Foyt, Richard Petty and Bobby Allison — the fewest ever in the Daytona 500.
11. DALE EARNHARDT JR. — Like his late father, Earnhardt excels at restrictor-plate racing, winning the Daytona 500 in 2004 as well as the Coke Zero 400 in 2001. A perennial fan favorite, Earnhardt Jr. has four top-five and six top-10 finishes in 12 appearances in the Daytona 500. He also is a two-time winner of the Budweiser Shootout.
12. KEVIN HARVICK — The driver known as "Happy" rocked the NASCAR world in 2007, when he made a stunning last-lap charge to victory past Mark Martin as half the field crashed behind them. Harvick has two Budweiser Shootout victories, with four Daytona top fives and five top-10s in 10 races here.
13. STERLING MARLIN — The Tennessee native is the last driver to score victories in back-to-back Daytona 500s, winning in 1994 and '95 behind the wheel of the Morgan-McClure Chevrolet. Marlin nearly won again in 2002, but during a late-race red flag, jumped out of his car to pull a fender away from a wheel, which was against the rules. Still, he was one of the best restrictor-plate racers of his generation.
14. FRED LORENZEN— Known as "The Golden Boy," Lorenzen's main claim to fame was that in 1963 he became the first driver in NASCAR history to win $100,000 in a single season. Lorenzen won the 1965 Daytona 500 and his stats in this race truly are impressive: Seven top-five and eight top-10 finishes in just nine starts. His average finish of 6.9 is the best of any driver with at least five Daytona 500 starts.
15. MICHAEL WALTRIP— The younger Waltrip was winless in his first 462 NASCAR Sprint Cup starts, breaking that streak with a stunning upset victory in the 2001 Daytona 500. But just as Waltrip was crossing the finish line, his car owner and close friend Dale Earnhardt was killed in a crash in Turn 4. Two years later, Waltrip won again in a rain-shortened Daytona 500.
16. DARRELL WALTRIP — One of the most famous victories of all-time came for D.W. in 1989, when he ended 17 years of frustration by nursing home his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet to victory with just enough fuel in the tank to win. In Victory Lane, Waltrip performed the "Ickey Shuffle," a dance named after Cincinnati Bengals running back Ickey Woods.
17. TONY STEWART — Despite never winning the Daytona 500, the three-time champion has a tremendous record here, scoring 16 race victories at this track, including three Coke Zero 400s, three Budweiser Shootouts and Thursday's Gatorade Duel, in addition to six NASCAR Nationwide Series races. He will be one of the favorites to win again on Sunday.
18. BENNY PARSONS — Driving for North Carolina trucking company owner L.G. DeWitt, Parsons won the 1975 Daytona 500. More impressively, perhaps, he scored top-five finishes in eight of 20 starts in NASCAR's biggest race. He also posted one pole and nine top 10s, and an average finish of 17, which is excellent for a plate track. Parsons went on to become a favorite announcer after retiring.
19. DAVEY ALLISON — The son of Bobby and nephew of Donnie, Davey Allison was a tremendous restrictor-plate racer, winning the 1992 Daytona 500 and finishing second to his father in 1988. Davey surely would have posted bigger numbers, but he made just seven Daytona 500 starts before perishing in a helicopter crash at Talladega in 1993.
20. DONNIE ALLISON — One of the toughest drivers of all time and a charter member of the Alabama Gang, Allison posted two poles and two top-fives in 13 Daytona 500s. But his real claim to fame was the 1979 last-lap crash and subsequent fight with Cale Yarborough as the two were racing for the victory. That fight drew national attention and helped put NASCAR on the map.
21. LEE PETTY — The patriarch of the Petty clan won the inaugural Daytona 500 in 1959, in a photo finish that wasn't decided until the Wednesday after the race. Petty only made one more start in the Daytona 500, as his driving career ended with a near-fatal crash in a Daytona qualifying race in 1961.
22. MARIO ANDRETTI — The only driver to win the Daytona 500, Indianapolis 500 and a Formula One world driving championship, the diminutive Italian native stunned the NASCAR community by winning the 1967 500 in a Holman-Moody Ford Fairlane. It was one of just three Daytona 500 starts for Andretti.
23. GEOFF BODINE — By winning the 1986 Daytona 500, Bodine put the fledgling Hendrick Motorsports team on the NASCAR map in a big way. In 21 Daytona 500 starts, the New York native posted five top-five and eight top-10 finishes, along with an average finish of 18.6.
24. ERNIE IRVAN — Called "Swervin' Irvan" early in his career, Irvan developed into one of the most feared restrictor-plate racers of the early 1990s. He drove the Kodak-sponsored Morgan-McClure Chevrolet to victory in the 1991 Daytona 500 and won the Coke Zero 400 the following year in the same car.
25. JOE WEATHERLY — A two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion who was killed in the prime of his career in 1964, Weatherly posted three top-five and four top-10 finishes in just five Daytona 500 starts. Weatherly, known as the clown prince of NASCAR, Weatherly had a great average finish of 11.8 in the 500.
26. FIREBALL ROBERTS — NASCAR's first superstar, Roberts won the 1962 Daytona 500 driving a Smokey Yunick-prepared Pontiac. He also scored three polls in NASCAR's biggest race. Tragically, Roberts succumbed to injuries following a crash in the 1964 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
27. KURT BUSCH — Although he's yet to win a Daytona 500, Busch has been sensational here: three Daytona 500 runner-up finishes and 10 top fives in 22 starts. Last year, Busch won the Budweiser Shootout and his Gatorade Duel race before finishing fifth in the Daytona 500. He is always a threat here.
28. JIMMIE JOHNSON — In 2006, Johnson won his only Daytona 500 and did so after crew chief Chad Knaus was suspended because the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet flunked post-qualifying inspection. Johnson's car has been at the center of three Daytona rules controversies.
29. LEEROY YARBROUGH — The 1969 Daytona 500 winner, Yarbrough had two top-five and four top-10 finishes in seven starts in the Great American Race. In the '69 race, Yarbrough came from 11 seconds back with 10 laps to go, but ran down Charlie Glotzbach for the victory.
30. TERRY LABONTE — The two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion made 29 Daytona 500 starts, tying him for second all-time with Ricky Rudd. Labonte had six top-five and 10 top-10 finishes, finishing second in 1997 between Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jeff Gordon and Ricky Craven.
31. MARVIN PANCH — One Daytona 500 victory, two top-five and three top-10 finishes in seven starts for Panch, who was named one of NASCAR's 50 greatest drivers. Panch, a native of Wisconsin, won the third Daytona 500 in 1961, driving a Smokey Yunick-prepared 1960 Pontiac.
32. TINY LUND — A gentle giant, Lund pulled Marvin Panch from a burning sports car at Daytona in 1963, saving his life in the process. The injured Panch convinced the Wood Brothers to let Lund drive their car in the 1963 Daytona 500, which Lund won on a single set of tires.
33. RYAN NEWMAN — Hard to believe, but when Newman won the 2008 Daytona 500, it was the first NASCAR restrictor-plate race victory for Team Penske, dating back to 1972. Newman also has two top-five and three top-10 finishes in the Daytona 500.
34. MATT KENSETH — The 2003 NASCAR Sprint Cup champion won the 2009 Daytona 500 when he passed Elliott Sadler just moments before heavy rain fell, forcing a premature end to the race. That was Kenseth's only top-five finish in the Daytona 500, though he has four top 10s.
35. JUNIOR JOHNSON — NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Junior Johnson is credited with discovering the draft at the fabled 2.5-mile superspeedway, which he used to great advantage to win the second Daytona 500 in 1960. In seven starts in the Great American race, Johnson had one victory, one top-five and one top-10 finish.
36. NED JARRETT — Gentleman Ned, as Jarrett was known, never won the Daytona 500, but the two-time NASCAR champion had two top-five and six top-10 finishes in seven starts in the race. His finishing average was 9.1, impressive given the era he raced in saw a lot of engine failures.
37. WARD BURTON — In what at the time was something of an upset, Burton won the 2002 Daytona 500 driving a Bill Davis Racing Dodge with Tommy Baldwin as his crew chief. For his career, Burton made 10 Daytona 500 starts, with three top-10 finishes and an average finish of 19.7.
38. JAMIE MCMURRAY — One of the best restrictor-plate racers of the contemporary era, McMurray won the 2010 Daytona 500 in his first race back with Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. It was McMurray's only top-10 finish in the 500, though he has also won the Coke Zero 400.
39. PETE HAMILTON — The New England driver with the good looks of a Southern California surfer, Hamilton famously won the 1970 Daytona 500 in the winged blue No. 40 Petty Enterprises Plymouth Superbird. He also swept both Talladega races that year.
40. RICKY RUDD — The main claim to fame for Rudd in the Daytona 500 is that his 29 starts in the Great American Race tie him for second all-time with Terry Labonte. Rudd earned four top-five and 10 top-10 finishes in the 500, and in 1984 raced in the 500 with his eyes taped open after a horrible crash in the Busch Clash.
41. TREVOR BAYNE — In one of the greatest upsets in sports history, Bayne won the 2011 Daytona 500 one day after turning 20 and in only his second career NASCAR Sprint Cup start. And his call on the radio — "Are you kidding me?" — was the definitive NASCAR sound bite of the year.
42. DERRIKE COPE— In 14 Daytona 500s, Cope scored just one top-10 finish, but it was a huge one: Cope won the 1990 500 after leader Dale Earnhardt ran over a piece of bellhousing on the last lap and cut his right-rear tire going into Turn 3. Cope, who was second at the time, took the lead when Earnhardt slowed and scored a huge upset victory.
43. DAVE MARCIS — No one made more career starts in the Daytona 500 than the wingtip-wearing Marcis. In 33 starts in the Daytona 500, Marcis scored three top-10 finishes and led six laps.

Report: Widespread Adoption of EMV Could be Delayed Until 2020
May 4, 2015
In an effort to hasten the migration in the U.S. to the EMV standard for payment card transactions, the major card brands imposed a deadline of Oct. 1, 2015 for retailers, processors and issuers to be prepared to accept and process chip cards at the point of sale or face liability for fraudulent purchases. And, while media reports focus on the readiness of retailers, a new report suggests that organizations looking into other alternatives may delay the full implementation of EMV technology.
Forrester Research said in a recent report it expects "more secure, encrypted, and tokenized transactions on digital wallets, mobile-device-based near-field communications (NFC) virtual cards, and EMV contactless payments will prove strong competitors to plastic EMV chip-and-signature and chip-and-PIN payments in the U.S." As a result, Forrester predicted broad adoption of EMV at the point of sale will be delayed until 2020.
Companies understand, the report said, that EMV does not protect the compromise of unencrypted data. Retailers, who were hard hit by security breaches in 2014, are heeding the advice of their payment providers and taking steps to protect themselves by encrypting and tokenizing customers' personal information. Some companies will invest dollars they could have aimed at upgrading to EMV-compliant systems into those other protective technologies.

Download here: Episode 13 - Bio-Inspired Locomotion
In our 13th episode we talk with biologist Robert Full from UC Berkeley about the research he's been doing on animal locomotion and how his insights have been inspiring engineers to create robots. We then talk to expert Auke Ijspeert from the EPFL on his insight on bio-inspired locomotion.
Robert Full
Prof. Robert Full is the director of the Poly-Pedal Lab at UC Berkeley where he has been interacting with engineers, biologists and mathematicians for the interdisciplinary study of locomotion in animals and robots.
By studying how cockroaches run over complex terrain or how crabs can run in sand, he's inspired roboticists to create the RHex robot with open-loop control and bouncy legs capable of running along in rough terrain. With the running out of the way, Full then looked at climbing animals such as geckos and the Van der Waals forces which allow their hairy feet to cling to a wall. The resulting bio-inspired dry adhesives have been covered in Talking Robots by Prof. Ron Fearing and Prof. Mettin Sitti. However, what happens when a gecko slips or even falls? After a quick inquiry from an engineer about the use of gecko tails, Full found the answer by discovering that geckos can actively use their tail to stabilize and even do controlled gliding!
Finally, Prof. Full presents his view on bio-inspired engineering, the use of robots for biologists, and the amazing compliance and robustness of living creatures still unachievable by robots.
Auke Ijspeert
Prof. Auke Ijspeert is a long-time colleague of Full, meeting at countless conferences and exchanging visits to each other's labs on both sides of the Atlantic. As professor of the Biologically Inspired Robotics Group at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, he is involved in many bio-inspired robotics projects such as the Salamandra Robotica, and has been featured in a Talking Robots interview on his work. Ijspeert tells us a bit about Full's work as seen by the scientific community, and what he thinks are Full's most important contributions to the field of robotics.

During his speech. which he delivered without notes to Labour's annual conference, Mr Miliband said that if in power Labour would issue a warning to the banks that if they refused to separate their high street operations from the "casino", his party would legislate to force the change.
He told delegates: "This is not just necessary to prevent another crisis but to do what has not been done for decades, enable us to pay our way in the world.
"We need banks that serve our country, not a country that serves its banks.
"Of course, this Government promised change but things aren't really changing. So I've got a message for the banks.
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way."
Mr Miliband set a deadline of the 2015 general election for banks to institute their own separation in their operations.

I can't believe that only 23% of the people polled in a CNN poll thought Vice President Dick(head) Cheney is the worst VP in the history of America. Either these people have a strong recollection of Aaron Burr and Spiro Agnew, or they haven't paid much attention to distortion of our constitution by the worst Vice President in history. Certainly, Agnew was a swindler, but he has nothing on Cheney. Dick easily ranks up there with Burr.
I would be interested in knowing who these people really think is the worst VP ever.
My favorite quote from Dick:
"I'm very comfortable with where we are and what we achieved substantively. And frankly, I would not want to be one of those guys who spends all his time reading the polls. I think people like that shouldn't serve in these jobs."
Of course he feels very comfortable. After having pulled off the largest raping of the American public, I'm sure he feels as comfortable as OJ Simpson with a glove that doesn't fit on his hand.
It wasn't long ago that CNN had a grammar error on their homepage. However, the latest grammar goof I found on CNN is not so minor. I highlighted what I'm sure was a grammar error and not a factual error. It is well known that George Washington never lived in the White House. However, the quote from CNN reads as though George Washington (who we know owned slaves) lived in the White House while owning slaves:
Twelve American presidents owned slaves and eight of them, starting with Washington, owned slaves while they lived in the White House.
Twelve American Presidents, starting with Washington, owned slaves and eight of them owned slaves while they lived in the White House.
The words are exactly the same, but CNN certainly goofed with their wording that reads as though Washington actually owned slaves while living in the White House. He couldn't have. The White House was finished after Washington died.
I've been a fan of Steve Forbes since the '96 Republican primary. While I don't agree with his flat income tax, I can certainly agree with him that Henry Paulson is "the worst Treasury Secretary in modern times". It seems like nobody has been willing to point some very harsh fingers at administration officials but not Forbes.
There is this ridiculous notion that we have avoided a much worse financial crisis than it could have been. Certainly if we had buried money in the money holes like Onion News joked about, we'd be in a much worse financial situation. However, we haven't actually been burying money in real money holes, unless you count the $700 billion bailout we dug ourselves last month.
I was fascinated this morning when I checked my RSS feed of happenings in the Conejo Vally area. Somehow, the folks at the Ronald Reagan library have managed to allow our communist Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson, to lecture at the late president's library in Simi Valley on Thursday. I would pay to have someone ask Paulson if he thought there was a bit of irony (or maybe tragedy) in the fact that our president who fought communism more than any other president had a communist Treasury Secretary lecturing at his library.
At the time of this writing, 95.7% of the precincts were reporting results. The latest results can always be found on the Secretary of State's website.
Since I'm writing this blog on a train, I'm glad to see that it looks like Proposition 1 is going to pass. The next big question should be whether the 47% who voted against Proposition 1 should be allowed to ride the train when it is built. I'm just kidding of course. Democracy affords the benefits of the majority to the minority. Just look at the $700 billion bailout. The majority of the population bailed out the minority of the banks that gambled with our money.
Proposition 2 passed with an incredible 63% Yes vote. The rooster crows in the morning were a little bit more jubilant than yesterday morning 😛 and you can hear cows talking along the I-5, heading to Central California.
Proposition 3 surprisingly passed, giving children's hospitals more funds even though they had funds left over from the last time we put them on the ballot. Kids and animals are always worthy causes, but I'm not sure we really needed to cough up this money this year.
Proposition 4 went down in flames YET AGAIN. This garbage has been on the ballot for the last several elections. Somehow, it keeps coming back. Perhaps if we completely say NO to government dictation of birth for minors with a resounding 80% NO, we won't have to keep voting on the same junk every time.
Proposition 5, 6, and 7 all went down in flames, losing soundly. What I thought was funny about the Proposition 6 is that all the cronnies on the TV kept talking about how they were surprised by lack of support for this bill. I only have one word: hearsay.
Proposition 8, the ban on gay marriage is passing by a sound margain. 52.1% Yes on 8 is a very strong win. The total vote margin is more than 400,000.
Proposition 9 passed by a sound margin. Should people who voted no on this proposition not be notified when a perpetrator of a crime against them is released from prison?
Proposition 10 was so soundly defeated that we got to stand up here in California and say, don't give us garbage incentives that aren't going to make a damn bit of difference.
Proposition 11 may or may not pass at this point. This is an incredibly close ballot measure. The margin is less than 100,000 votes, so it could easily go either way. Hopefully Californians will vote in favor of democracy as opposed to a fictitious democracy that allows the people who get elected decide who ends up electing them. C'mon folks! This should have been a no-brainer.
Proposition 12 has ensured our veterans that they will have the funds needed to help make a difference in their lives.
Yesterday, Aaron Burr… Err, I mean Dick(head) Cheney endorsed John McCain for President. This is a very unfortunate endorsement for John McCain to receive from the worst Vice President since Aaron Burr.

The new original Starz drama "Vida" has been gaining momentum since launching on May 6th. Created por Tanya Saracho, the buzz for the series mainly emphasizes its Latinx focused, female-driven, queer storyline. But, it would be a shame if the solid supporting cast were to go unmentioned as part of the reason for its success.
One such member of this stellar group is actress Elena Campbell-Martinez, who shines as the neighborhood's motherly figure and spiritual healer 'Doña Lupe'.
Ever wonder what it would be like to work for the CIA, solve national security issues and take orders from a TV star?
Well, you don't have to cadastrar-se President Trump's team to do all of this. Instead, get hired for a recurring role alongside chá Leoni and Tim Daly on the CBS hit political drama, "MADAM SECRETARY."
Actress CHRISTINE GARVER has done exactly that. She first came into the storyline last year, but disappeared for a bit. Now, she's back – and ready to help the team tackle the latest global issues plaguing the White House.
It's hard to believe that natal was a mês ago. All the decorations are now packed up tightly, half the toys received are broken, the daily grind is back in full balanço and all those original natal TV filmes are long gone – or are they?
I have a feeling there's one movie among all the new holiday tales that is still being saved on DVR's everywhere (including mine). Of course, I'm referring to Melissa Joan Hart's natal rom-com, "A VERY MERRY TOY STORE."
I amor TV shows, filmes just can't compare. That being said, I haven't watched many TV shows, I'm picky and most don't appeal. (No vampires, romance shows for instance, just don't like them, most popular shows fit in those categories, but oi this is my list and my opinions, not anyone else's) Currently these are my favorito shows starting with the greatest show out there:

(9 seasons and TV movie, 2001-2010, 2014)
This review is dedicated to Adam West, William Dozier, and all the wonderful people who helped make the show.
The first batman show was just called Batman. The show started in 1966 and had 3 seasons as well as a film called Batman: The Movie (1966). There was also 2 animated films based on the show called Return of the Caped Crusaders (2016) and batman vs. Two-Face (2017).

Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson protect Gotham as the Dynamic Duo: batman and Robin. The 2 heroes saved the city por themselves in the show's first 2 seasons, but Batgirl...
The backbone of any televisão show is the "character" actor. These are the men and women who you might not remember por name, but you recognize their face. And, when they do their job right – they elevate the show to another level.
One such actor who has burst onto televisão screens everywhere is Cory Blevins. He recently appeared as FBI Special Agent Buchholz in EPIX original comedy series, "Get Shorty," chasing down raio, ray Romano and Chris O'Dowd. Also the fall, Cory also joined the cast for one of the final episodes of the beloved Netflix show,...
With all the political chaos happening this year, the CBS drama "MADAM SECRETARY" has done a good job of creating political escapism. No matter how intense the storylines get – at least you know they're fiction.
In the recent episode, titled "Persona Non Grata," Elizabeth McCord (Téa Leoni) plans a summit at Kyrgyzstan to address their human trafficking problem – even though their President denies the problem.
This episode brought back a few things from last season: the human trafficking issue, the President of Kyrgyzstan and his trusty Translator,...
The latest real crime story to get a reboot as a network televisão is "Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders". And, if you thought the original murder case of Lyle and Erik Menendez was riveting, then you're going to amor this show.

There are quite a lot of awesome tv shows in production in 2017, so lots of great shows can slip through the cracks. Here are 5 under-watched shows that I thought I'd promote as damn fine viewing!
5. Fortitude
It is a little hard to describe what Fortitude is about without spoiling it, but basically it follows the weird and violent events that occur in an arctic town called Fortitude. It can get pretty gruesome, creepy and weird in this isolated little town. The plot and the characters are intriguing, and there is some...

Not that there's any need for further proof of tech's diversity crisis, but if you were looking for some, consider your search ended. According to the CEO of Intel, the primary opposition to the company's latest diversity and inclusion efforts has come from within the organization. Apparently, maintaining a homogeneous status quo is the chief priority of some Intel employees, leading to "a bit of a backlash" and even threats directed at Intel's leadership. So yeah, there's a problem.
Speaking at the PUSHTech 2020 conference on Saturday with Reverend Jesse Jackson in San Francisco, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich admitted that not everyone at his tech firm has been excited about the recent efforts to increase the proportion of underrepresented minorities at the company and in the industry at large.
"People worry that as a white man, you're kind of under siege to a certain extent," Krzanich said. "There's been a bit of resistance. We've even had a few threats and things like that on some of our leadership team around our position on diversity and inclusion. We stand up there and just remind everybody it's not an exclusive process. We're not bringing in women or African-Americans or Hispanics in exclusion to other people. We're actually just trying to bring them in and be a part of the whole environment."
Just over a year ago, Krzanich dedicated an impressive $300 million to diversity efforts, and since then, the company has seen a 30-percent increase in its minority workforce. In the last year, the executive pointed out that 43.3 percent of its new hires were either women or minorities, and the company is planning on releasing a diversity report that will include employee pay reflecting gender and race.
"We are going with the data and we are going public," Krzanich said. "I almost hope there are gaps, not because I want people to be underpaid, but because it's a problem I can fix. I'm an engineer, I like fixing problems." Now, if only we could get all of Intel (and the tech industry) to help fix the problem, too.

OTTAWA - The federal food-safety watchdog has announced the recall of a hot dog relish because of the potential presence of a bacterium that causes botulism.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says Orange Blossom Farm is recalling its unbranded relish because it may permit the growth of Clostridium botulinum.
The product was sold in 500-millilitre bottles at the St. Jacob's Farmer's Market, near Waterloo, Ont.
The agency says food contaminated with the toxin may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick.
Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dizziness, blurred or double vision, dry mouth, respiratory failure and paralysis.
The CFIA says there have been no reported illnesses due to the relish.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) --It's day two of the outside lands festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. One of the largest concert events in the state, but there are lots of complaints from neighbors about the noise
Singer Valerie June took to the stage Saturday at Outside Lands and ticketholder Jamie Kerester could hear her from Fulton Street.
"I think it's cool you can hear the music driving in. It's not so bad but I don't live in the neighborhood, " said Kerester.
Jen Ennis lives in the neighborhood and she says it can get pretty loud at her Richmond District home.
"You could hear the music and crowds until midnight or 2 a.m., whenever they decide to leave," said Ennis.
Ennis says if the sound doesn't get you, the lack of parking will.
Noise complaints are coming in from neighborhoods nowhere close to Golden Gate Park.
San Francisco resident George Bach can hear the bass and guitar from Edge Hill Mountain four miles away and he doesn't like it one bit.
"Personally, I turn my hearing aid off. It bounces off their bank books. They need to control the sound," said Bach.
Still others who don't have a ticket are taking it in stride.
"It is loud but you put up with it, because it's music. You know, it could be something else, and the music generally is nice," said Andreas Uttendorfer of San Francisco.
Outside Lands says it's working on it. Organizers have set up a noise complaint hotline for neighbors and claim every complaint is investigated with mobile sound monitoring equipment, then relayed back to concert sound technicians who can adjust volume.
The hotline number is 415-390-2737 and is available from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. during the festival.
The Outside Lands concert series follows the Beyonc and Jay-Z tour at AT&T Park earlier this week. Many residents throughout the city complained it was too loud,so the volume was lowered the second night of the tour.

But an eagle-eyed, HDTV-owning Lost Forum user did, and he points out that it looks a lot like Richard Malkin, the psychic Claire visited in season one — the guy who told her she had to raise Aaron herself and then gave her a ticket for Flight 815. What an interesting, not-unforeseen plot twist!
